Chapter 349: Execution
The royal family ordered that the Mirage Tower Square be opened to the people of the city today.
Large groups of people lined up in long lines, passed through layers of security checks at the palace gates, and were then lowered into the square.
For many ordinary people, this was the first time in their lives that they had entered such a royal land.
However, there was not a hint of excitement or joy on their faces, and everyone hung their heads and their eyes were blank.
The turmoil in the capital for days has burned the flames of war against these poor ordinary people.
They have been devastated by the battle of the Prince, and their originally peaceful and peaceful lives have been sliding towards the abyss since Prince Yong ascended the throne.
There was an order from the royal family that most of the people in the city should come to watch the trial of Xiao Yu of the One Sword Sect.
Bands of Jinwuwei were stationed on either side viciously, urging them impatiently to move faster.
As a result, they are less like bystanders who come to watch, and more like prisoners being escorted.
At this moment, the Mirage Square was like a huge prison, waiting for them to rush in.
The sky was overcast, there was not a hint of wind, and the sky was covered with heavy dark clouds, a prelude to the coming rainstorm.
The mirage building has long since lost the appearance of the aura whistling in the past, and at this moment, all the flow stone rooms are dark, and they have already stopped running.
The towering jade pillar in the center of the square has been slightly remodeled, and a temporary guillotine has been erected.
The executioner with a tiger's back was shirtless, with a thick-backed tiger's head knife on his shoulder, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
A temporary high platform was also erected on the south side of the square, on which a group of royal nobles were sitting at the moment, waiting for the arrival of the people.
"Isn't it over yet, tell them to move quickly!" Qian Fengjie, who was reclining in his chair, was a little impatient.
He was really fatal, half of his chest collapsed, only half of his heart remained, and finally he was slapped away by Xiao Yu Xuanzhi and Xuan.
Xiao Yu's slap seemed to be gentle, but in fact, the strength contained in it was as heavy as a mountain.
Yet he survived.
Qian Fengjie completely relied on the strong spiritual power of the old man to renew his last breath, plus the royal family had a lot of hidden treasures, and it took countless elixirs to save Qian Fengjie from the ghost gate.
Even so, his body is now extremely weak, and he must rely on the elder to constantly replenish his aura in order to maintain this life.
The old man sitting next to him was as pale as paper as Qian Fengjie.
With just one punch, the eldest prince smashed him into serious injuries.
He never thought that Qian Fengyu would reach such a high achievement at this age!
At the peak of the Nine Heavens of the Martial Master, the Great Prince is simply the first person in the entire capital under Qianfengyi!
The cultivation of the Seventh Heaven of the Old Martial Master had no power to fight back in front of the Great Prince.
After eating such a big deflated, the old man transferred all his anger to today's protagonist.
Xiao Yu.
This young sect master of the One Sword Sect will be judged in front of the people of the whole city today.
The final consequence was that he was ordered by Qian Fengjie to cut off his head.
Li Yu put on a dark black heavy armor today, and even his face was hidden under the hideous helmet, quietly guarding Qian Fengjie's side.
Prince Yong sat behind them, and at this point, the four people who were at the peak of the royal power of the Qianfeng Kingdom had arrived.
The courtiers were all gathered under the high platform
When the last ordinary person stepped into the Mirage Tower Square, the remaining Jin Wuwei all poured in.
They ran to the middle of the square and drove all the onlookers back five paces again, revealing a large position in the center of the square.
It's as if the prisoner who is going to be escorted up in a moment is some kind of vicious demon and monster.
There was silence in the square, and dark clouds were heavy and heavy over everyone's heads.
Prince Yong coughed and stood up from his seat: "Come on, escort the criminal Xiao Yu up!"
"Escort the criminal Xiao Yu!" Jin Wuwei, who immediately had an order below, shouted loudly.
A crack opened in the crowd, and everyone turned their heads to look at the young man who had already made a name for himself in the national capital.
Four tall Jin Wuwei formed a circle, and the figure of the young man in the middle looked particularly thin among them.
However, the young man's back was straight, and his face was as cold as a knife.
He stepped forward step by step, without the humility and trembling of ordinary criminals, but like a mighty general on a military parade on the battlefield, with great might.
There was no fear in the eyes, just a piece of tranquility, like a warm jade, and like a quiet lake.
When people saw this rumored Young Sect Master of the One Sword Sect, their eyes were full of surprise and doubt.
It turned out that the big devil who set off storms in the national capital turned out to be just such a young and handsome young and handsome young man.
Such a child who looks like a spring breeze ...... today Are you going to die on this execution ground?
The onlookers lowered their heads and sighed, and they all had a sense of pity in their hearts.
But it was an order from the royal family on high, who would dare to disobey?
Xiao Yu walked past the crowd and slowly walked into the center of the square, then he raised his eyes and glanced at the high platform to the south.
There was no sharp light in his eyes, but Qian Fengjie on the high platform couldn't help but shiver fiercely at his eyes!
Li Yu, who was on the side, saw Xiao Yu appear, and he couldn't hold back the killing intent in his heart, and the hard hand armor had already held the heavy sword on his waist.
Qian Fengjie hurriedly wrapped the thick blanket on his body, Xiao Yu's gaze made him chill uncontrollably, he avoided his eyes and coughed weakly a few times, and a cold color appeared on his pale face: "Tell them to hurry up!"
A Jin Wuwei behind Xiao Yu moved his tall body, pushed Xiao Yu hard, and scolded viciously: "Untouchables!
But Xiao Yu didn't move, and his body was firmly rooted in place like a steel nail.
"Damn, Lao Tzu is talking to you, can't you hear me!" The Jin Wuwei looked even more fierce, raised a big foot and kicked at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu suddenly turned his head suddenly!
The originally peaceful eyes changed, becoming fierce and domineering, as if they were filled with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
That's the look that only people who have experienced countless lives and deaths have, and it is the supreme domineering that has been exchanged for blood!
Jin Wuwei couldn't help but be frightened, and his raised feet trembled, but he couldn't kick out.
When the crowd of onlookers saw this scene, they all talked about it, all of them whispered admiration for Xiao Yu's undaunted power.
"Xiao Shaoxia...... There is an order from above, and we will do things according to the rules, you ...... You're good, don't embarrass us villains. ”
A Jin Wuwei next to him saw that the atmosphere was tense, and he had to grovel to Xiao Yu and say.
He knew that the young man in front of him was not an ordinary prisoner, he had committed a thousand murders in the palace, stepped on the main hall and slashed a shocking sword, where could such a character be provoked by these little Jin Wuwei!
It wasn't until he saw the previous Jin Wuwei trembling and almost wanted to leave first that Xiao Yu slowly retracted his gaze.
He exhaled the depression in his chest and walked towards the thick jade pillar.
At this time, the Jin Wuwei did not dare to make a second time, and they were all light when they tied Xiao Yu with chains.
As the heavy chains bound him tightly to the jade pillar, these Jinwu guards breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dog, look at how angry you are now!" The Jin Wuwei was not convinced, and began to spit out wild words again, and was pulled away by his companion next to him: "Okay! Let's go, do you think your life is big?"
Only Xiao Yu and the tall executioner were left in the center, the executioner was carrying a butcher's knife and squinting his eyes at him.
"No matter how powerful a big man you used to be, when you get to this execution ground, just stay for me!"
The executioner smirked and said, "I cut off the heads of big people, but they are piled up in mass graves in the west of the city!"
Xiao Yu glanced at him lightly, and said calmly: "Why don't you go and inquire, how many demon beasts have been burned outside the Falling Dragon Pass, and how many corpses have been buried in the palace?"
The executioner listened to Xiao Yu's words, and the hand holding the knife couldn't help but tremble, he snorted coldly and said no more.
Seeing that Xiao Yu had been firmly tied to the jade pillar, and at this time he still had the shackles on his hands to contain spiritual power, which could be said to be inescapable, Prince Yong on the high platform said with confidence:
"Xiao Yu of the One Sword Sect is rebellious and contemptuous of the royal power, and now count him in detail as follows......"
Xiao Yu listened to Prince Yong on the high platform say a lot of things, in addition to insulting the princess and making trouble in the palace, he also put on more false charges.
He smiled lightly, and didn't care what Prince Yong said.
If you want to add to their crimes, there is no excuse.
He looked at the sky in the distance, where the clouds were as thick as lead and glowing a lifeless gray, and the sight of it could not help but make people's hearts depressed.
Now he already knew that the disciples of the three sects had already escaped from the tiger's mouth, and perhaps they had left the national capital and returned to their respective sects for refuge.
He no longer has any worries in his heart, occasionally there are slight ripples, and he will also think about whether Cangyun has been able to walk on the ground, and whether Mo Xuanyu's spiritual wisdom has returned to normal?
And the woman in white and plain clothes, will she weep for him after he dies?
Xiao Yu's heart trembled slightly, it turned out that he ...... I'm still a little unwilling.
He broke out of the prison for the disciples of the three sects, rushed into the main hall of the palace and committed the scarlet killing, and finally lost to the martial artist Seven Heavens and was imprisoned again.
Now he was trapped here, looking around blankly, surrounded by treacherous villains who wanted his life and ordinary people with sad eyes.
No one came to save him.
The last person to stay by his side was Yu Youwei.
The corners of Xiao Yu's upturned mouth couldn't help but show a trace of bitterness, he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
That's a good result, isn't it? His buddies are safe, and that's enough.
For the sake of the safety of the disciples of the three sects, even if he was asked to make another choice, he would also have no hesitation.
Prince Yong on the high platform said a lot of things, and finally counted all Xiao Yu's crimes, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "As a prisoner, I now declare that Xiao Yu's crimes of the One Sword Sect are unforgivable, and I will be executed on the spot!"
Hearing that Xiao Yu was really sentenced to death, the crowd of onlookers all exclaimed.
Qian Fengjie, who was lying on the chair, looked at Xiao Yu in the center of the square, and his pale face showed happiness: "Xiao Yu...... I'll see how you run away this time!...... In the end, it has to be me!"
It seemed to be affected by the killing intent in Qian Fengjie's heart, and Li Yu next to him slowly pulled out the heavy sword at his waist.
