Under the scorching sun, in the open space at the entrance to the city gate of Fu County, a group of people were kneeling, all of whom were captured prisoners.
They lowered their heads, not a trace of blood could be seen on their faces, and their turbid eyes were filled with lifelessness. They were covered in dirt, but behind them stood an executioner dressed in red. In contrast, they were as weak as if they could be trampled at any time.
dead ants.
Occasionally, someone tried to raise their head, perhaps looking for an opportunity to escape, but as soon as they made a move, the Qu soldiers standing behind them kicked them on the vest.
The kicked person had his hands tied behind his back and was unable to get up. He could only rub his chin on the ground to use strength. When he got up again, his face was covered with blood marks from friction. Some people fell so hard that they landed on the ground on their fronts.
My nose was still bleeding, but I could only let it go.
As he got closer, the sobs of the crowd could be heard clearly. Qingyu looked at the prisoners who were like lambs to be slaughtered, and then at the Qu soldiers who were like executioners, and felt compassion for a moment. There is no shortage of tragedies in the world.
She was pushed and pushed to the end of the last row of prisoners, followed closely by Zhufeng Wenya, but when it came to Hongtao Shian and Zhao Qian's family, there was another row.
After being forced to kneel down, Qingyu heard someone reporting from the front that everyone had been arrested.
Zhufeng obviously felt that the knife was already on his neck, he coughed slightly anxiously, and Wen Ya, who was kneeling next to him, looked over.
Zhufeng: Do you want to fight out?
Wen Ya turned to look at Qing Yu on the other side, who was looking down at the ground. She thought for a moment and shook her head slightly.
"Everyone, listen..." Suddenly there was a loud shout, and all the captives raised their heads and looked at the speaker in front of them in horror.
The man wore a Taoist priest's costume, with a black mole as big as a pea on his black mouth, and his sharp chin moved as he spoke.
"The king of Xia is dissolute, ignorant and incompetent. He ignores the affairs of the court and the people don't care. Fuxian County is plagued by locusts, but the king of Xia ignores you. You are disheartened. In order to pray for God to punish the king of Xia, I would like to use this
My own body, my blood is spilled in the rivers, I look at the sky and draw my curtains, and with the power of my great canal, I can repay the grievances of the common people to the great Lord of Heaven."
After finishing the conversation, a man in armor walked out from behind the Taoist priest. At first glance, he was the leader of all the soldiers.
With a flattering and flattering look on his face, the Taoist priest looked up at the sky and said at the same time: "Commander, in less than three seconds, the auspicious time has arrived. Please give me the order."
The marshal looked at the group of people in front of him, as if he were looking at dead objects, and raised his hands indifferently. All the Qu soldiers understood this, and immediately raised their swords, with the blade across the neck of the kneeling Fu County man, waiting for the gesture to be cut,
throat.
At this moment, people in Fu County who had not dared to resist at first could no longer bear it any longer. Some cried and howled, some begged for mercy, and some yelled or tried to struggle and escape.
But no matter how they struggled, they were pinned to the ground by the Qu soldiers behind them. These were executioners who killed without blinking an eye. No matter how hard the prisoners in front of them begged, they could not change their facial expressions, which were indifferent and ruthless.
At this point, maybe I have experienced too much and become numb.
Hongtao couldn't help but cursed: "You killed someone, and you have to blame King Xia for it. It's so shameless."
When Qu Guobing, who was standing behind Hong Tao, heard this, he put the knife in his hand directly against Hong Tao's neck, and felt a cold and tingling sensation at the same time. Hong Tao panicked and couldn't help but shut his mouth.
Shi'an immediately scolded: "The commander-in-chief hasn't given the order yet. If you take action now, you are disobeying the military order."
The soldier snorted coldly and didn't care. He obviously felt that there was already a dead person in front of him. However, he did not move any more, but focused on staring at the commander in front of him.
Not three moments later, the commander-in-chief waved his hand downwards. Everyone was as cold as if they had fallen nine feet into the ice. They looked at the life-threatening hand in despair. However, at this moment, among the crowd,
Suddenly there was a loud shout, "Wait a minute."
The captives looked at the source of the sound as if they were dying. They held their breath, and their hearts were in their throats. They all wanted to regard the sound as a life-saving sound, even if it was just a childish voice.
The commander followed the sound and looked over, and saw a little girl standing up from the crowd. There was a knife across the girl's neck, but there was no fear on her face, and her eyes were calm and calm.
This look was really strange on the face of a little girl. Although the handsome man's eyes were gloomy, the movements of his hands still stopped. He wanted to hear what this strange girl wanted to say.
The Taoist priest was a little anxious, and whispered: "Commander, we can't delay the auspicious time." Then with a fierce look in his eyes, he shouted to the crowd: "Shut up that stinky girl."
Qingyu was not in a hurry, as if he had a chance to win, "If the commander commits murder at this time, he will be attacked from both sides. Kunshen, Qianhai and other places will definitely fall, but the people beside you will be able to reap the benefits."
profit."
When the Taoist priest heard this, he was horrified and argued hurriedly, "Commander, don't listen to the nonsense of this little girl in the movie. She is just a boss kid and cannot be taken seriously."
But the commander's expression changed, "Kunshen, Qianhai... come forward."
Qingyu turned back and glanced at the executioner. The man was still in a daze. Seeing this, he couldn't help but put down the knife.
Qingyu walked through the crowd and walked forward, curtsting slightly.
"Do you know where Kunshen Qianhai is?" the commander asked with a serious face.
Years of fighting on the battlefield made him exude blood and violence, but Qingyu was unaffected and said calmly: "These two places are the fortresses of Qu State."
The handsome man was slightly surprised. This little girl looked young, but she had knowledge that did not match her age. It was indeed impressive.
"Then why did you say that? Do you know the art of divination?" Kunshen and Qianhai are the directions of the Eight Diagrams. It is nothing to say this from the mouth of a monk, but it is said from the mouth of a little girl.
If it comes out, it has to make people curious.
Qingyu nodded slightly: "Understand a little bit. Kunshen, Qianhai, Quguo's fortresses, if they are destroyed, the country will be destroyed. If the commander-in-chief commits murder at this time and place today, his momentum will be broken, and then the three neighboring countries will surely be defeated."
Taking this as an excuse, they jointly sent out troops to attack.
Although Qu's country has a strong military, it is hard to defeat four enemies with two fists, and it is even more infamous. The whole world is a common enemy, the country's power is declining, and Qu's country is in danger."
"Girl, you have such a strong tone." The commander sneered: "Our Daqu country is very powerful and has strong soldiers and horses. Which country dares to attack?"
"The Qi has been broken and the spirit has been destroyed, so how can we strengthen our troops and horses? A big tree attracts the wind. I think the commander-in-chief understands this." Qing Yu said calmly.
The commander-in-chief frowned slightly, secretly saying that a little girl is not simple, and asked: "Who did you learn from?" Someone who has such a vision is definitely not an ordinary citizen, not to mention that he is still so young. Could there be some guidance from an expert behind his back?
"Commander, you might as well ask the person next to you who is your master." Qingyu glanced at the Taoist priest and asked, "Does this person have ulterior motives or is he open-minded? In the next three moments, there was false good news and real bad news. Good news first and then bad news.
, I don’t know if it’s because he’s not good at studying, or if he did it on purpose and wanted to put the commander in jail.”
The Taoist priest's face turned pale and he accused loudly, "You kid who talks nonsense, how can you fool the commander at will? When I started, your mother was still in her mother's womb. I don't know where I heard a few words from, so I don't know.
"High and low, if I believed what you said as an ignorant child, wouldn't it be a big joke in the world?"
Although he said this, he was shocked in his heart. This girl actually said it accurately.
Qingyu looked at the sky and smiled, "The time has come and the situation is over."
