Chapter 41: Beheading the Prince

Unlike the original embarrassment and nine deaths that arrived at Yunluo Sect, Chu Dongtian's descent from the mountain was quite smooth, after all, his strength was accompanied, and there was a slight sense of oppression in just an unintentional look, so that some of the mundane bandits and others who were originally malicious along the way consciously avoided it from a distance, and did not dare to take the initiative to provoke.

Zheng Guo is the first country that Chu Dongtian and his party must pass through to Jinxia Sect, and Xingfeng City is where Zheng Guo's imperial city is located.

Passing through the city gate, Chu Dongtian and Cheng Lin walked side by side in the front, while Bian Dong, Lin Chuan, Shishi, and Li Yun followed behind the two.

Looking at the buildings on both sides of the main street of the imperial city, as well as the people and merchants who came and went, Chu Dongtian frowned again and again. Just because it is the largest capital of Zheng State, the buildings of the imperial city are quite mottled and dilapidated, and most of the people are yellow-skinned and dressed in tatters.

In fact, shouting and selling really has no effect, because the people can't even eat enough and can't wear warm clothes, so what can they afford to consume?

"I can understand why Jin Buwu was so generous in compensating the entire Zheng Guo to Yun Luo Sect before! Looking at this appearance, Zheng Guo has obviously been greatly damaged by Jin Xia Sect's rampant conquest, and there is only an empty shell in name only, even if Yun Luo Sect accepts it, there is not much practical benefit!"

Chu Dongtian sighed with emotion, but his mind couldn't help but drift to the Chu State, what is the Chu State doing now? Under the supervision of the warriors sent by the Yunluo Sect, can the people live well? Are there any common people or courtiers who are desperate and moths to the fire because of the death of the Chu Emperor?

"No, I must arrive at the Jinxia Sect as soon as possible to join the eldest brother and the second brother, and then return to the Chu State immediately and kill all the martial artists sent by the Yunluo Sect!"

Chu Dongtian thought for a while, and his face became gloomy, "Hurry up!" As he spoke, Chu Dongtian accelerated his pace without hesitation. Although Cheng Lin, Bian Dong, Shi Shi and the others were puzzled, they didn't say much, and followed Chu Dongtian one by one.

Seeing that a group of several people were about to pass through Zheng Guo's imperial city along the main street, suddenly, dozens of guards in bamboo armor poured out from the direction of the palace, escorting a young man with a sad and angry face, and crossed not far in front of Chu Dongtian and his party. Moreover, among them, some of the guards shouted loudly while walking, "The eldest prince Ji Fang bewitched the public, tried to subvert Zheng Guo, put the people of the whole country in dire straits, and was ordered by Gongsun Dawu to remove the identity of the great prince of Ji Fang, and Xingchang beheaded the public!"

"All the people must remember that the Jinxia Sect is the protector of my Zheng Kingdom, and you dare not obey the orders of the gods! It is the honor of our entire Zheng Kingdom to give everything to the great warriors of the Jinxia Sect!"

"Anyone who is disobedient, up to Emperor Zheng, down to beggars, will be killed!"

The shouts and threats of dozens of guards came and went, and everywhere along the way, all the people and merchants lowered their heads and didn't dare to talk or question, but Chu Dongtian clearly saw the unbearable and helplessness on the faces of these people and merchants!

When dozens of guards escorted the eldest prince away, these people and businessmen exchanged in low voices one by one, shaking their heads and sighing from time to time. Chu Dongtian's heart moved, and he listened contemplatingly.

"Alas, what a virtuous person the eldest prince is, he is actually going to be removed from the status of the prince and killed in public, my Zheng Guo is really hopeless!"

"It's just that the contemporary Emperor Zheng is too cowardly, and he allows the warriors sent by the Jinxia Sect to behave indiscriminately!

"Hehe, dignity? That has long been a luxury! Now we can only live one day at a time, not even a dog at the feet of the martial artist of the Jinxia Sect!"

"Yes, it's not me who said, Emperor Zheng of this generation died early, and he befriended the warriors sent by the Jinxia Sect everywhere, and even did not hesitate to offer several of his own daughters to those warriors, and this time even the only son was pushed out without mercy, and I don't need to ask to know that it was the eldest prince who angered those warriors! Alas......."

If I, Emperor Zheng Guo and Emperor Zheng, can have the determination to fight to the death like Emperor Chu, I will definitely follow without hesitation with a sickle, it is better than now......."

"Forget it, don't say a few words, have you forgotten what happened half a year ago? If it reaches the ears of those warriors, I'm afraid that this street will be stained red with blood again! Moreover, I will die at the hands of my own sergeant Zheng Guo!"

The discussion gradually faded away, but Chu Dongtian's face became more and more ugly.

"What a faint monarch misunderstands the country! Just this Zheng Guo Zheng Huang is also worthy of being the emperor? Come with me, the prince of Zheng Guo is a character, you can't just die!"

"Young Master, what do you mean...... Will this delay time, after all, once you are entangled by the martial artists and the army of the Jinxia Sect, maybe it will be a ** annoyance?" Bian Dong reminded carefully, but it caused Chu Dongtian and Cheng Lin to stare at each other.

"Bian Dong, can you say it again? You just have this vision and mind? I really have to think about it, you are not a candidate worthy of trust!" Not only did he glare, but Cheng Lin even opened his mouth to scold.

Bian Dong immediately grimaced, "Linlin, I'm not worried that I will miss the young master's business? After all, in my heart, the young master's business is the most important!

"You ......" Cheng Lin was even more angry.

Seeing this, Bian Dong didn't dare to argue anymore, "Okay, okay, my fault, my fault, I don't have vision, I don't have a mind, I change it, can't I change it?" Young master, hurry up, chase, whoever doesn't chase is the grandson!"

Under the contemptuous gaze of Chu Dongtian, Shi Shi and the others, Bian Dong chased in the direction where the guards left.

Chu Dongtian waved his hand, and the rest of the people immediately followed, while Chu Dongtian himself took a few steps and stood in front of a stall nearby.

"Boss, I want to inquire about something, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Little brother, you are a foreigner, right? What do you want to inquire? First of all, I don't know about my Zheng Guo royal family and the like!" the stall owner looked vigilant and vigilant.

Chu Dongtian smiled, "Boss, don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person, let's put it this way......" Chu Dongtian lowered his voice, "So, if it's convenient, I hope the boss still reveals something, so that we can be mentally prepared!"

"What you say is true?"

"If there is a lie, the sky will thunder!" Chu Dongtian looked serious.

"Okay, then I'll tell you what I know, but I don't know if it's accurate, after all, we peddlers are just hearsay. As far as I know, there are seven Jinxia Sect warriors in the Imperial City, and my Zheng Guo Sergeant originally had 50,000 people, but now, including the Praetorian Guard, there are only more than 3,000. Because the warriors of the Jinxia Sect said that with them, the so-called sergeants are all redundant, and a small number of them can be called!"

"Oh, yes, thank you!" Chu Dongtian thanked him, his body shook, and in the blink of an eye, only a back remained.

Looking at the speed at which Chu Dongtian left, the stall owner's face showed obvious shock, and after the shock, there was a trace of joy and anticipation.

"Maybe the eldest prince is really saved! Lao Hu, Lao Zhang, come here, ......" In an excited mood, the stall owner couldn't help but spread the previous conversation with Chu Dongtian, and so spread ten, ten, hundred, hundred, thousand, and the whole street was in turmoil.

I don't know who took the lead and rushed to the execution ground with everyone, they wanted to see with their own eyes whether Chu Dongtian could do what he said, or just fart!

The execution ground, located in the northeast corner of the Imperial City of Zheng Guo, has always been the place where Zheng Guo's evil criminals and bandits were executed. But since Zheng Guo was controlled by Jin Xiazong, there has been too much blood of loyal ministers, good generals and innocent people on this execution ground! Now, on this execution ground, there is another wisp of unjust soul, the great prince Ji Fang!

"Kneel!" the two guards shouted in unison, their hands forced, trying to press Ji Fang to his knees.

But Ji Fang, the eldest prince who looked thin and weak, straightened his waist in a daze, and refused to kneel no matter how hard the two guards tried.

One of the guards was furious, frowned, and kicked Ji Fang's leg in the crook of the leg, causing Ji Fang to kneel on the ground with a 'bang', splashing a cloud of dust.

Ji Fang was also tough enough, he didn't say a word, and then stood up again. But without waiting for Ji Fang to stand firm, the guards who had kicked out before laughed and kicked out again.

Bang!

This time, Ji Fang not only knelt on the ground, but also oozed blood from the corners of his mouth. But Ji Fang gritted his teeth and struggled to get up!

It's just that the two guards around him were on guard, and they both pressed hard and pressed Ji Fang's shoulders.

"Ji Fang, it's not what it used to be, you have been removed from the identity of the great prince, just wait for the great warrior who will be beheaded later, you will have to fall to the ground, it is better to know each other a little bit, and save more hardship!"

"Phew!Dog minion, as a guard of the imperial city, but willing to serve the tiger, dying at the hands of a bastard like you, is the greatest shame for me Ji Fang!" Ji Fang turned his head and glared angrily at the two guards who held his shoulders, and the faces of the two guards immediately turned red.

As soon as the warriors of the Jinxia Sect arrived, Emperor Zheng immediately bowed down to greet him like a dog, almost without wagging his tail, your father is the biggest breed!"

The warriors are in power, the imperial power is declining, even in the eyes of these imperial city guards, Emperor Zheng is not much different from ordinary people, so he has no scruples when he speaks.

But Ji Fang was killed to the point of headache, and opened his mouth to refute, but in the end he just sighed weakly, and his eyes, which were still a little bright, became even more gloomy.

Around, there were also some bold people who were already working near the execution ground watching, and the faces of these people were unbearable, numb, resentful, and complicated...... But no matter how you think about it, under the gaze of many guards, not a single citizen dares to say half a word.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and many guards couldn't help but straighten their faces, and the people around them subconsciously shrank their necks, and even those who were not too bold hurriedly left.

There is only one reason, the martial artist of the Jinxia Sect has arrived!

The sound of horses' hooves is proof of that!

In the entire imperial city, under the control of the Jinxia Sect, only warriors can ride horses!
