Chapter 42: Saving Lives
Stomp, stomp!
The sound of horses' hooves rang from far to near, and there were as many as eight horses in total!
But the eight horses are clearly divided into two levels, the seven horses walking side by side in a row at the front look extraordinarily superb, and the knight on the horse is also dressed in a splendid robe, with a proud expression and a look in all directions. The one behind was short, thin, and the figure on it was dressed in a coarse cloth robe, and his face was full of flattery and humility.
It is unimaginable that this last person is Zheng Guo's contemporary Zheng Huang! Ji Sheng! And it is the seven great warriors of Jin Xia Sect who are in charge of Zheng Guo who swagger ahead of Ji Sheng!
Arriving at the execution ground, the seven warriors turned over and dismounted, and went straight to the punishment table in the middle of the execution ground, Ji Sheng first glared fiercely at Ji Fang, who was suppressed and kneeling on the ground, and then hurriedly followed.
On the punishment table, the guards arranged seven seats, and placed a small stool on the right front side of the seven seats.
The seven great martial artists also sat down in turn, and Emperor Zheng Ji Sheng seemed to be used to it, and sat on the small stool on the right front side of the seven seats as a matter of course.
Seeing this scene, the people around him secretly frowned, and Ji Fang, who was kneeling on the ground, was even more red, eager to grit his teeth.
Ignoring the mood of the people and Ji Fang, one of the seven great martial artists snorted coldly, and then said to Ji Fang, "Ji Fang, are you guilty? You dare to instigate your father Ji Sheng to set up a banquet to poison me and so on, according to the law, a thousand knives will be cut!"
"It's just that, for the sake of your father Ji Sheng taking the initiative to confess and confess, I will wait for the net to open up. As long as you admit that you are wrong in public, you deserve to die for your crimes, and I will give you a whole corpse!"
"Fart! You occupy the magpie's nest with strong force, bully my father and the emperor with a weak temperament, and enslave all the people of my Zheng country! Now, the treasury of my Zheng country is empty, and all the people are living a miserable life, and there are even people who have not tasted a piece of meat for three years, have not worn a coarse cloth new clothes for three years, and do not try to kill you, what is the future of my Zheng country?"
"Don't say it's this time, if I have the chance, I'll do everything I can next time to slaughter you dogs!"
Ji Fang roared, hysterical!
On the punishment platform, the martial artist of the Jinxia Sect in the center suddenly turned pale, and the other six people also had a rather ugly face, as for Emperor Zheng Ji Sheng, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he wanted to wipe it off with his hands, but when he caught a glimpse of the faces of the seven great martial artists out of the corner of his eye, he didn't dare to move a little.
"Bastard! If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears! In this case, heavy punishment is inevitable! The executioner obeys the order!"
"In!"
"Scrape the traitor Ji Fang piece by piece, and never allow him to die halfway! If you can't scrape 1,300 knives, this seat will scrape your whole family!"
"Yes!" The executioner was originally unbearable, after all, Ji Fang was a rare and virtuous person in the Zheng Imperial Family, but when he heard the threat from behind the martial artist of the Jinxia Sect, he couldn't help but gasp and skimmed all the unbearable in his heart.
At that moment, the executioner strode forward, raised his knife and said to Ji Fang, "Great Prince, I'm sorry! It's not that I want to torture you, but I have to do it, you know, if I don't do it, my whole family will ......."
"Do it, I don't blame you, it's my Zheng royal family who didn't use it first! If my father had listened to my advice and swore to fight to the death, what would have happened even if the whole country was destroyed? At least he had to die as he deserved! Servants gathered! Now, I'm afraid that even if my father changes his mind, many people will not support him under the long-accumulated disappointment and resentment!"
"If I die, why am I afraid? I am not willing! I am only ashamed!"
"The eldest prince, it's not your fault, it's Emperor Zheng'......"
"Let's do it!"
"Yes, the great prince, bear with it!" the executioner took a breath, and the punishment knife in his hand brought a cold light to pick up a piece of flesh on the eldest prince's left arm.
Poof!
Blood splashed everywhere, and a small piece of flesh fell to the ground, Ji Fang's face twitched, but he didn't exhale in pain.
In this regard, the executioner admired it, but he did not dare to hesitate at the bottom of his hand, and cut it again. On the punishment table, Zheng Huang Ji Sheng's gaze shrank, his lips pursed, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he lowered his head and did not say a word.
But is that all over?
No!
"Ji Sheng!" The warrior in the center suddenly shouted, and a touch of banter and cruelty flashed in his eyes.
Ji Sheng couldn't help but be startled, got up in panic and turned his head to look over, "What do you command?"
"Hmph, as the emperor of a country, is this bit of blood unsightly? It seems that this seat needs to train you to train your courage!"
"Go, replace the executioner, and you will personally chop your rebel!"
"What?" Ji Sheng's heart shook violently, and he suspected that he had heard it wrong. And the people around the execution ground also frowned after hearing the words of the martial artist of the Jinxia Sect.
How vicious, how inhuman?
Tiger poison doesn't eat children! This martial artist of the Jinxia Sect actually asked Ji Sheng to shave his only son himself! If he just watched others execute Ji Fang, if he replaced himself, Ji Sheng could really do it?
Moreover, if Ji Sheng really did it, how should Ji Fang feel?
Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, suspicion is suspicion, but because of the incompetence of the Zheng royal family to the people of Zheng Guo, coupled with the military deterrence of the warriors of the Jinxia Sect, no one dares to speak.
On the contrary, looking at Ji Sheng in a daze, the martial artist in the center was suddenly very dissatisfied, "Bastard, didn't you hear what this seat said? Otherwise, you will also kneel beside your rebel son and simply scrape together!"
"Oh, no, sir, I didn't mean that! I'll ...... I'll go!"
Ji Sheng has always been afraid of death, even after taking the initiative to surrender, he was still called by the martial artists of the Jinxia Sect as a dog. Now, threatening his own death, who cares if the object he wants to kill is his son or not, he immediately stepped off the punishment table.
At the same time, seeing Ji Sheng walking towards him step by step, and taking the punishment knife from the executioner's hand, the sadness in Ji Fang's heart can be imagined!
Seeing that Ji Sheng was wielding the punishment knife, and the first knife was about to fall, Ji Fang finally couldn't help but speak, "Wait!"
"Hmm, what do you have to say, take the initiative to confess, it's too late!" On the punishment table, the warrior in the middle sneered.
Ji Fang shook his head, "No, I Ji Fang wants to eradicate the scourge of the country, what is the crime? I just want to say to my father, father, if there is an afterlife, it is not for father and son!"
Ji Fang's voice was not high, but it was like a hammer hitting Ji Sheng's heart. Ji Sheng's arm holding the punishment knife trembled involuntarily, as if he couldn't get down.
"Ji Sheng, what are you waiting for?
"No! Fang'er, I'm sorry! One death is better than two deaths! Blame you for being young and vigorous, too impulsive, and too self-aware!" Ji Sheng clenched the punishment knife and slashed hard.
At this moment, among the onlookers, five figures suddenly rushed out like a whirlwind, and at the same time, a ray of light broke through the air faster.
Bite!
The sound of metal clashing sounded, and the punishment knife that Ji Sheng had slashed fell to the ground under a strong impact.
Without waiting for Ji Sheng and the surrounding guards to react, Shishi, Lin Chuan, Li Yun, Tie Kui, Zhou Tong, and the five of them surrounded Ji Fang, and Shi even kicked Ji Sheng out of seven or eight meters away, "Dog thing, you can do it to your son, are you still a human being?"
Lin Chuan looked at Ji Fang, "Are you okay, come, bandage your arm first!" As he spoke, Lin Chuan tore off the corner of his shirt and wrapped Ji Fang's arm neatly.
And Ji Fang's courage was also quite great, so he came back to his senses at this time, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for saving me, but you better leave quickly, so as not to lose your life because of me." ”
"Give your life, hehe, the seven martial artists of the Jinxia Sect are just that, and they deserve to let us die?" Lin Chuan was sneering, and on the punishment platform, the seven great martial artists of the Jinxia Sect all got up and strode over. And the reason why the seven of them acted together was because the perception of the martial artists was quite keen, and the seven great martial artists of the Jinxia Sect judged that Lin Chuan and the others were not easy to mess with!
It's not easy to provoke, but it must be provoked, because at this moment, the actions of Lin Chuan and the others are undoubtedly a slap in the face of the entire Jinxia Sect! If you don't get it back, you will be found out by the sect, and you will be stripped of your skin if you don't die!
"Looking for death! Who are you waiting for? Dare to meddle in the affairs of my Jinxia Sect?"
"Jin Xia Sect? Hmph, what a big signboard? Jin Xia Sect is a fart! Do you know Jin Xia Sect's wind and thunder double pride?"
"Nonsense, Wind and Thunder are the most outstanding leaders of the younger generation of my Jinxia Sect, how can we not know each other? Could it be that you and my Jinxia Sect have an old relationship? No, if there are really old words, how can you speak so ugly? Say! Who are you?" The martial artist in the center of the Jinxia Sect walked in the front, and drew his sword, pointing at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan was about to answer, but in the crowd of people, Chu Dongtian, Bian Dong, and Cheng Lin paced out.
Chu Dongtian frowned and looked at everyone, "Lin Chuan, Shishi, have you learned to talk nonsense now? How did Young Master Ben give orders? Time is of the essence! Kill something! Do you have to ask Young Master Ben to do it himself?"
"Hehe, of course you don't need the young master to do it, just these few crooked melons and cracked dates, we will slaughter them!"
Questioned by Chu Dongtian, although Lin Chuan replied with a smile, when he turned his head to look at the martial artist of the Jinxia Sect again, his face became extremely gloomy, and the killing intent also gushed out.
"Dog's day, I actually caused Lao Tzu to be scolded by the young master and die!" The people moved with the sound, and they didn't see Lin Chuan draw his sword, and rushed towards the seven martial artists of the Jinxia Sect on the opposite side like the wind.
Li Yun, Shi and others also followed, in fact, Li Yun and the others were not worried about Lin Chuan's safety, but they were afraid that if they didn't rush to make a move, they would leave a bad impression on Chu Dongtian. Otherwise, Lin Chuan alone should be enough!
Really!
When Lin Chuan met the first martial artist of the Jinxia Sect at the front, he easily dodged the long sword stabbed by the opponent, followed by a kick out, and directly kicked the opponent's heart, causing the opponent to fall out, his head tilted, and he never got up again.
"Waste, at most 3,500 catties of strength, dare to pretend to be an uncle?"
"All to death!"
Without waiting for Li Yun and the others to really arrive, Lin Chuan killed all the seven martial artists of the Jinxia Sect like chopping melons and vegetables!
"Young Master, the mission is complete!"
"Not necessarily!" Chu Dongtian spoke, squinting at the direction of the palace, where a powerful aura rose rapidly, approaching here.
