It was noon, but in Yishui City in the north, it was difficult to feel the warmth of the sun at noon. The bleak wind blew past, making people feel cold.
The city was not too lively and there were not too many people. Except for the sergeants at the city gate, it was hard to see strong men and warriors. Only a few young women with extraordinary looks approached Rouge Square with a smile.
.
In addition to Rouge Shop, the weapons shops and elixir shops on the street, places where men often visit, were all closed. Even the busiest inns on weekdays, which are the most popular ones, were also closed.
The door is empty.
Qin Feng frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that things were a little weird, but for a while he couldn't figure out what kind of reasons were hidden behind such weird things.
Just as Qin Feng was secretly wondering, an old man holding a wine bottle in his hand and wrapped in a thick long coat staggered out of the street corner.
In the cold wind, the old man's figure alone looked a little desolate...
Qin Feng thought for a while, stopped the old man and asked, "Dare I ask, what happened in the city?"
"Something happens every day in the city. Which one are you asking about?" The old man stopped and said in a deep voice. His voice was cold, and the eyes staring at Qin Feng were even more blood-red, as if he had been there for several years.
I haven't slept for days and nights.
"Of course it's the one that can make all the men in the city disappear." Qin Feng thought for a while and said.
The old man was stunned for a moment, a look of sadness flashed in his eyes, but he did not answer Qin Feng's question. Instead, when he saw Qin Feng carrying a sword on his back, his expression suddenly became extremely angry.
"It seems that you don't know anything and have always been well protected!" The old man said coldly: "Then why do you still carry a sword on your back? A mere boy who wants to kill so much and become a warrior?
!Since you want to be a warrior, then why don’t you join the army! Why don’t you go fight! Instead, hang out in Yishui City!"
Qin Feng was obviously stunned by the old man's series of roars. He wondered whether he was a warrior and whether he was carrying a sword. What did it have to do with the old man? Why was he so angry?
After a moment of silence, Qin Feng finally guessed something, because the old man mentioned joining the army...
After a series of roars, tears flowed from the old man's blood-red eyes. He seemed to not want those tears to fall, so he raised his head and took a sip of wine and whispered: "There's going to be a war. My son has already entered."
He entered the military camp, became a reserve army, and began to receive training... But he was not a warrior, and he never thought about becoming a warrior. From the beginning to the end, he just wanted to be a qualified teacher."
Qin Feng was silent, and the good hope in his heart instantly turned into nothingness...
Before coming to Yishui City, he had been thinking about the affairs of the Motie Kingdom, and had been looking forward to it. What General Yelu said and did before was just General Yelu's own attitude. These should have nothing to do with the military department and have nothing to do with it.
King Motie has nothing to do with it.
And now it seems that the war between the Motie Kingdom and the Daqian Kingdom is not at all the will of General Yelu, but represents the will of the entire Motie Kingdom! At the same time, this also means that the Daqian mission led by Xia Qianjie
The situation should be more dangerous than he expected!
But why did the Motie Kingdom do this? It is obvious that the Daqian Kingdom and the Motie Kingdom have been on good terms and close for hundreds of years... What kind of benefits can they get from doing this?
Qin Feng couldn't figure out this question, but if he couldn't figure it out, he would ask! He went to the palace of Motie Kingdom in person and asked his Majesty the Motie Kingdom if he was too old and too frail to be confused. Relinquished the throne and made way for the wise!
"So! Why don't you join the reserve army? A guy like you who is running around with a sword all day shouldn't join the army! Then why are you still wandering around in this city!" The old man's face was still full of expressions. Angry, obviously in his eyes, Qin Feng has become a rich kid who puts on a show with a sword on his back, and becomes a coward when faced with a catastrophe for his family and country.
"Obviously, you have misunderstood something. I am not a local." Qin Feng said coldly, walking towards the palace step by step.
Qin Feng said that he was not a local, which naturally meant that he was not from Motie Palace. But in the ears of the old man, this was not the case. He took it for granted that Qin Feng was not from Yishui City, but from Motie Palace. People from other cities in the Iron Kingdom.
"It seems that this news has not spread to other cities, and the recruitment in other cities has not started yet." Thinking of this, the old man suddenly felt a little apologetic. Because this shows that in his eyes, the young warrior with the sword on his back is not It was because he was greedy for life and feared death that he did not dare to join the army, but the young man did not know about the conscription at all, nor did he know what happened in Motie Country some time ago.
"Hey, young man, wait a minute! Since you don't know anything now, why not go to Caishikou in the west of the city and take a look! Those things are things that all citizens of the Motie Kingdom should know!" The old man said to Qin Feng shouted.
Qin Feng did not look back, nor did he stop. Because he was not a citizen of the Motie Kingdom at all, and he did not want to care about some of the messy affairs of the Motie Kingdom! He just wanted to enter the palace and pull the His Majesty of the Motie Kingdom away. He got down from the throne and beat him up, and then took Xia Qianjie and the people from the Daqian Kingdom away.
When the old man saw that Qin Feng didn't look back, he just thought he was angry. After all, he was yelled at for no reason. The young man must not be in a good mood. But he suddenly felt that it was necessary to let the young man know about it, so he continued Said: "Now is the Queen of Autumn, and those people are finally going to be executed! No, they are demons! Demons from Daqian Kingdom and Yuelun Principality who conspired to assassinate Your Majesty!"
After hearing these words, Qin Feng's forward steps suddenly stopped, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly. When he raised his head and saw the sun that had climbed to the center of the sky, his face suddenly became even colder.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Feng's figure jumped up, quickly passed over the houses and high walls, and headed towards Xicheng District at an extremely fast speed...
The so-called heaven has four seasons, which are spring, summer, autumn, and winter. And the king has four political affairs, which are celebration, reward, punishment, and punishment. Most regions and countries in the Shenwu Continent respect the way of heaven, so everything must comply with the way of heaven. , dare not disobey. Therefore, celebration is spring, reward is summer, punishment is autumn, and punishment is winter.
In other words, when everything revives in spring and summer, we should celebrate with the sky and reward people. But if we want to execute prisoners, we can only temporarily imprison them and wait until after autumn and winter before executing them.
And because the third quarter of the day is the time when the yang energy of the day is the strongest, it can prevent evil spirits from arising and the souls of grievances to be unconsolidated. Therefore, if a person beheads a person and kills someone, the execution time will be set at the third quarter of the day.
At this time, it was noon, and it was not far away from three quarters! This is why Qin Feng was so anxious! However, what made him even more uneasy was that it was not only the time after autumn, but also after the beginning of autumn. Half a month!
Half a month is enough time to execute many people. Qin Feng is not sure whether many people from the Daqian Kingdom have been executed before today, and whether Xia Qianjie is still alive...
Beheading and killing people is quite unlucky. Therefore, this kind of thing will never be held in the inner city. Caishikou in the west of the city naturally refers to the execution ground in Caishikou in the outer city.
It is not difficult to find such a place of execution, because when Qin Feng stepped into Xicheng District and stood on the roof of a high-rise building, he had already seen the road covered with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs. The road started from Weiwumen, The road continues straight ahead, passing the Duan Tou Bridge, and passing through the Lost City, all the way to the execution ground.
Obviously, a prison van escorting prisoners passed here not long ago, and the angry residents of Yishui City mercilessly threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs on the prisoners.
Qin Feng frowned deeply and couldn't help but think of the first time he met Xia Qianjie. He remembered that the first time he met Xia Qianjie was not a pleasant one because Xia Qianjie's temperament was too arrogant and she even made things difficult for him, which made him a little uncomfortable. like.
But he knew that Xia Qianjie was not bad in nature, but she was hard-spoken and soft-hearted. Because the small courtyard where he lived when he entered Lingxiao College was arranged by Xia Qianjie. When he first entered the college, he received a lot of help and care from Li Ying. Xia Qianjie arranged it all.
Whether it is from the small courtyard that is exactly the same as his previous residence, or from Li Ying's care, we can see Xia Qianjie's kindness and carefulness from these aspects. It is enough to show that Xia Qianjie is just a soft-spoken person who looks arrogant and stubborn but is also A soft-hearted woman...
Later, he met Dean Xia and learned many past events from thirteen years ago. From those events, he vaguely learned more about Xia Qianjie.
During the great upheaval in the Daqian Kingdom thirteen years ago, Yi Tianxing was captured and disappeared after being poisoned. The Daqian Kingdom fell into a fierce and bitter battle against the strong men from the Eastern Region of Dawn. In that battle, Daqian Kingdom Seven famous generals died, two dragon guards died, Xia Qianjie's parents, and the old dean of Lingxiao Academy also died in that battle.
Later, those strong men retreated, and Xia Qianjie lived a good life in Lingxiao College. Xia Xingyuan, the current dean who has no children, was also very kind to Xia Qianjie. But for Xia Qianjie, who lost her parents when she was young, whether her life was good or not was still in her heart. Whether it is painful or not, only she knows.
But she knew better that she had to live well, so she was arrogant, stubborn, and never admitted defeat. She once became the most unattainable and the most unapproachable proud woman of heaven in the eyes of many powerful people in the royal city...
"How could such a proud and stubborn woman of heaven endure such a prison sentence, as well as the pain of being spurned and humiliated by all the people?" Qin Feng shook his head and sighed, his figure constantly looking towards the distant Fa. Rush to the field.
There were many people in the execution ground. In addition to the many soldiers who maintained order, the majority of them were naturally ordinary people. The scene of thousands of empty streets and alleys that Qin Feng had seen before was not only taken away by the large conscription in Yishui City. In addition to many young people, the bigger reason is that almost all the people in Yishui City have come to the execution ground at this moment...
