“Your Majesty, I have been flogged for fifty years!”
In the square in front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the flogging carried out by Cao Du, the commander of the Spring Death Army, finally came to an end.
For the person being tortured, it is a kind of torture, but for those watching the torture, it is not only frightening!
At this time, the two lords kneeling on the ground had the same pale complexions. Their exposed upper bodies had the same bruises of blue and purple whip marks, and they were as ferocious as snake marks.
There are five levels of flogging, with ten lashes as one level, with fifty being the highest. In principle, this is the lightest punishment. But if the executioner does it deliberately, it is not difficult to flog the person to death!
Cao Jiuping stretched out his right hand and waited for the eunuch standing by to take away the whip, then turned around and stood back on the high platform.
Zi Tianzi said: "Get up."
Tian Xili and Liu Yingqi each put on their coats and stood up unsteadily.
The two people's cultivation strength is not equal. As the executor of this flogging, Cao Du controlled his power very well. The whips used on the two people were also limited to the level of Shenlin and Wailou respectively.
So the two of them are equally shaky at the moment.
The emperor said again: "If you can't stand still, you can go down and rest first."
"Thank you for your grace!" Tian Xili cupped his hands and said, "My lord... stand firm!"
Liu Yingqi also said: "I... I am also..."
Thump.
Before he finished speaking, the person fell to the ground.
But the ground seemed to be pierced with knives. As soon as he fell down, he immediately bounced up. He didn't know where the strength came from.
“Stand firm, my lord!” he said through gritted teeth.
Qingyangzi went to fetch Liu Xiao, but he has not returned yet.
The matter between the Tian family and the Liu family is not over yet.
At such a moment, no one is willing to leave. There is still a chance to fight if you stay here. If you leave now, you can only wait for your fate!
The emperor said no more.
The ministers were also silent.
Before the Imperial Ancestral Temple, there was a depressing silence, as everyone was waiting for the results.
Not long after, a eunuch walked to the high platform where ordinary people were and whispered something.
Probably because it was time to leave and go home, most ordinary people left on the spot. Some others stayed at the scene.
The officials and dignitaries present at the meeting were not so lucky. They had to wait for the results here.
The sun is gradually moving away, and this process is too slow.
until……
The figure in green shirt holding a sword slowly walked into the square carrying a person.
People breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what the outcome was, there was finally a result.
The anxious people first noticed Qingyangzi, and then noticed the person he was holding, who was face down, with long hair hanging down, his hands intertwined, and tied with a broken rope.
Jiang Wang was holding the belt at his waist and walking all the way.
Some people couldn't help but frown.
No matter what Liu Xiao is, he is still a strong man with a divine presence. The strong must have dignity.
Don’t you, Jiang Wang, have no idea how you can capture Liu Xiao? Do you really think that you can despise the presence of God because you are the best in the world?
It is really dissatisfying to carry the dignified Shenlin monk Liu Xiao like a chicken.
Xuanhuai Bo Liu Yingqi felt a huge sense of humiliation.
He was whipped naked today, and he, the Liu family's powerful spirit, was carried to the driver like this. The Liu family's face was almost trampled into the mud!
But when he looked at Jiang Wang, he found that he was not angry.
It wasn’t that this matter wasn’t worthy of his anger. It wasn’t that Jiang Wang, who was in the limelight today, made him dare not be angry. It was that he suddenly found that he really couldn’t get angry.
The Liu family is already like this...
Liu’s family is already like this!
It is normal to be stepped on a few times.
He thought he should accept his fate.
The gaze of Tian Xili, the Marquis of Gaochang, was completely different. However, his gaze did not fall on Jiang Wang, but always on Liu Xiao. He had such intense murderous intent that he wanted to drink his blood and devour his flesh.
Jiang Wang didn't care what others looked at him.
He walked calmly and walked forward in the huge square.
His sword is in its scabbard.
Before entering the city, the sword had been sheathed.
This is an attitude.
He could have entered the city with his sword in hand to show that he had confronted Tian Anping.
If the emperor asked, it would not be difficult to give Tian Anping some eye drops.
But once this happens, will the emperor be happy to see this?
Secondly, regardless of what happened in the Hidden Star World, he has no grudge against the Tian family.
The reason for the confrontation at the gate of the city was because he had the imperial decree and he had no reason to act as a rival to Tian Anping.
He really has no need and is not willing to make enemies with a top family.
He walked to the center of the square, put Liu Xiao down, and helped him stand still. Liu Xiao then stood still.
At this moment, everyone could see that something was wrong with Liu Xiao's state.
Jiang Qingyang did not intend to humiliate him, but Liu Xiao was now unable to act independently and could only be carried away!
Liu Yingqi, whose breath was weak, suddenly took a step forward and then paused.
Finally, I dare not do anything offensive again.
Jiang Wang then said politely: "Your Majesty, Jiang Wang is fortunate to have lived up to his command!"
“Qingyangzi.” Jiang Rumo asked, “What’s wrong with Liu Xiao?”
Of course he could not fail to see Liu Xiao's state, so he was asking how Liu Xiao became like this.
"I don't know either." Jiang Wang said: "When I rushed to Jicheng, Liu Xiao was like this, hanging on the gate of Jicheng. I untied him and took him directly back to Linzi. There was no one on the way.
delay."
All the distinguished officials present were moved!
Liu Xiao was not restrained, but was subdued before Jiang Wang arrived! And his mind seemed to be damaged!
“What about Tian Anping?” Jiang Rumo asked.
Jiang Wangdao: "It's intact."
Tian Xili’s eyes burst out with extreme joy at this moment, and he didn’t know whether it was true or deliberately pretending.
Liu Yingqi immediately turned his head and paid homage to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Tian family has violated the contract, and Tian Anping dares to violate the order and breach the territory!"
His reaction can be said to be very fast, but it is already slow.
From the very beginning, Liu Xiao made a wrong move when he stormed into the city!
Liu Yingqi's various struggles at the ceremony today are like a microcosm of his struggles in the past ten years. He exhausted his not outstanding talents and devoted himself to restoring the glory of the Liu family. However, Mrs. Liu and Liu Shentong lived and died one after another, and they had already
The roots of the Liu family were broken.
No matter how hard you struggle, it is powerless.
The emperor asked: "Qingyangzi, in your opinion, how good is Tian Anping's cultivation?"
Jiang Wang said impartially: "He should be still in the inner palace, but it has exceeded my understanding of the inner palace. From what I can see, he seems to have built the inner palace into the city!"
In fact, Tian Anping took the initiative to show him the scene of the room in the inner palace being vacated. It seemed to be for his explanation in front of the Ancestral Temple.
From this point of view, Tian Anping is really not completely crazy.
All the distinguished officials in the square were shocked beyond words.
Tian Anping, who had his golden body and chalcedony broken, destroyed the holy tower, and was suppressed for ten years, was actually able to develop new tricks in the inner realm!
There are so many talented people in the world, it is not difficult if we only seek “newness”.
The difficult thing is to be “new” while still being strong enough!
How can Tian Anping not be strong if he can train Liu Xiao, who is a master of Shenlin, to look like this?
From the inner palace, to the outer tower, God comes. This is the right path of cultivation that has been tempered by the sages of the human race for countless years.
In Jiang Rumo’s view.
Tian Anping did not develop a new path. It was more like he was limited to his internal cultivation, skipped the limitations of cultivation, and increased his combat power in advance. Considering that he had once achieved the divine arrival and his peerless appearance, he had indeed done something
possible to this point.
As for the more specific situation, he has not seen it personally and cannot judge.
It’s just that the internal government’s external methods are indeed incredible...
At this fateful moment, Liu Xiao himself stood there blankly, with his lips slightly open and his eyes wide open, as if he was still trapped in some kind of fear.
The dignified monk Shenlin didn't know who he should be afraid of at this time.
It is really sad!
“Brother Xuan Huai, take it back and raise it.”
The emperor sighed inaudibly, got up, left his seat, and walked out.
Han Ling, who stood silently, quickly chased out a shout
“Get started!”
Liu Yingqi knelt down again and knocked his head heavily on the ground: "Thank you for your grace!"
