Chapter Forty-Three: Red Sleeve City

Li Jiu'er saw Long Xingyu sitting cross-legged and didn't move for a long time, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and her face showed a trace of doubt, so she leaned over and lay down beside Long Xingyu, holding his face and opening his eyes wide, puffing out his cheeks and looking at him in a daze.

Just as she was fascinated, Long Xingyu suddenly opened her eyes, and looked at Li Jiu'er, who was so close to her, and Long Xingyu was startled.

"Huh...... What are you doing?"

Long Xingyu looked at Li Jiu'er looking at him so closely, but he turned his face over.

"Hate ....... Li Jiu'er pouted and hurriedly retreated.

"Why do you hate it?" Long Xingyu smiled flirtatiously.

"Brother, have you found anything, has it had any effect on my body?" Li Jiu'er asked with some uneasiness.

"It's okay, I believe brother, it's going to be fine. ”

What Long Xingyu discovered, he naturally wouldn't talk about it with Li Jiu'er.

According to the records in the book, it is not only cultivators who will experience the "decomposition of the divine element", but everyone will have it, even if it is an ordinary person, when everyone dies physically, the ordinary person's divine element is spiritual consciousness will dissipate, and the cultivator's divine element can be called the divine element, at this time, if the tribulation is successful, it can exist in the universe forever, and if it fails, it will devote itself to the next host and start again.

If a cultivator fails to cross the tribulation or dies unexpectedly, resulting in the separation of the divine element, that is, the soul, then it is an incomplete divine element, and after reincarnation, the life span will not live the most beautiful years, and the person who devotes himself will slowly become weak in the day after he grows up, and only dies dozens of days later.

This is that people's life span is high and low, long and short, in the final analysis, when the previous life was devoted, the three souls and seven spirits were not all gathered. The most important thing is three souls, all of which are indispensable, but Li Jiu'er only has one soul in front of her, according to her eighteen-year-old age. Her days should be numbered.

"Brother, don't you say I'm angry!" Li Jiu'er stroked a strand of hair on her face, raised her small mouth, frowned and said unhappily.

"Don't worry! it doesn't matter, it just makes you feel like you don't have the strength. Long Xingyu lowered his head, his eyes drifted to the side in a trance, he didn't dare to stare at Li Jiu'er's gaze, pretended to be indifferent, and said indifferently.

"Really?" Li Jiu'er stared at Long Xingyu with her head tilted and stared intently.

"Of course. ”

"Oh...... No wonder I've been feeling weak lately when I can't walk. I always want you to carry me. ”

Seeing Li Jiu'er's innocent eyes, he really didn't want to tell her such a cruel truth.

......

The night breeze is gentle, and the fire is shining.

The three of them chatted and chatted about the sleepiness that came at some point, so they snuggled up to each other and fell asleep in silence with their own concerns.

The night was silent, but there was a voice in Li Jiu'er's heart, since she came to this world, she felt more and more that her body had become weaker, and she would feel powerless even when she walked a little farther. What was going on? She felt scared and uneasy like she had ever felt before. Even when she fell asleep, there was a hint of sadness on her serene and beautiful little face.

looked at Li Jiu'er, who was sleeping beside him, with a sad look on his face. Long Xingyu was distressed, and secretly thought that she still knew a little, alas, he sighed in his heart and covered him with his coat. Looking at the horizon in the distance, a few meteors streaked across the sky.

......

......

The Red Sleeve City is worthy of being the capital of the Yongxing Empire, with buildings on both sides of the street, and the streets are bustling and prosperous. There is a constant flow of people coming and going.

As soon as the three of them entered the Red Sleeve City, they saw a notice posted on the city wall, and a group of people were watching and pointing and whispering.

It was only when they got closer to the crowd that they saw what was written on the notice on the city wall, it turned out that due to the invasion of the South Wind Empire by external troubles, Lan Hou and the people of the clan would be escorted to the execution ground in advance early tomorrow morning to shock people's hearts.

"Brother Lan, he ....... As soon as Meng Yao heard that Lan Bai Bai was going to be executed tomorrow, he couldn't help but have a sour nose, and tears rolled in his eyes. A touching look.

She has always been a strong little girl, the fall of the kingdom, the fall of her father and the pain caused to her have survived, and now when she hears that Lan Baibai is going to be executed, she looks helpless.

"Don't be afraid, tomorrow, Brother Long will go to save them in vain. Long Xingyu comforted.

"But ....... Although she wanted to save Lan Baibai, she didn't want Long Xingyu to encounter an accident in order to save people, if Long Xingyu had an accident because of this, she would feel even more guilty.

"It's okay, tomorrow, you and Jiu'er are waiting for us outside the north gate of Red Sleeve City, and after saving Lan Hou, we will rush to North City and go straight to Minshan City. ”

"Minshan City" was originally under the jurisdiction of Lan Hou, but because Lan Hou was imprisoned in the Red Sleeve City, the city was guarded by Qin Shi, the deputy general under the name of Zhou Tong.

This Qin Shi was both wise and brave, and sent troops to rescue him many times, but the disparity in strength was too great, so he had to retreat to Minshan City.

Long Xingyu also learned these news from folk rumors, and he didn't know whether it was true or not, but after saving people tomorrow, only "Minshan City" could be avoided, and only a lonely bet was made.

"Brother....... ”

"Well, don't worry about me?" Long Xingyu looked at the coquettish Li Jiu'er and looked at him affectionately, he knew that she was worried about herself.

"Be careful yourself. Li Jiu'er snuggled up to Long Xingyu's side, patted some grass and mud on Long Xingyu's body, and expressed concern on his face.

"I really envy your Brother Long, Sister Jiu'er. Meng Yao looked at the two of them reluctantly, and cast envious eyes.

"Dream girl, you're still young...... I don't understand, haha". Long Xingyu looked at Mengyao's innocent and incomprehensible appearance, raised his head and smiled haha.

Meng Yao lowered his head slightly, and there was a hint of imperceptible shyness on his face. A woman is an adult at fifteen, and she is just fifteen this year, so why don't she have the mind of a girl?

......

In the red-sleeved city, in the dimly lit death row, Blue, White and White sat on the ground in a white prison uniform.

He was not in the same cell as Lan Hou, who was being held elsewhere, when two officials came over with some good food and wine.

"Young Master Lan, tomorrow is the day of your execution, and I have brought you good wine and food, alas...... It's good to get on your way. One of the old servants sighed.

The prison officer also knew that Lan Hou was framed by someone, and he felt the suffering of the people, and he could only watch from afar, thinking that the Lan Hou family would be killed tomorrow, and his heart was also uncomfortable.

"The two eldest brothers have worked hard, and people are inherently dead, but my father was too wronged and was framed, even if I am killed with my father and brother tomorrow, this Wei Yin Emperor's throne will not last long. ”

"Second son, bring me a bottle of wine. ”

Zhou Tong couldn't wait to stretch out his hand in the next cell. He was originally a good drinker, but he often couldn't drink alcohol in the army, and when he saw wine, he naturally forgot all his troubles.

After three rounds of drinking, the two were slightly drunk. Lan Baibai lay drowsy in the cell, and asked softly: "Since I met the general, I know that the general is a bold person, but I don't know that the general has family members. ”

Zhou Tong lay on the side of the cell with his back against the cage and muttered: "Family ?......"

He remembered the old father and mother in Yongxing City, who had not visited them since the last time they had hurried away from Yongxing City, and since he had followed Lan Hou in the past few years, he had been incognito. Most of them are afraid that the old father and mother will be framed by villains. Only then did he cut off the correspondence, which is the helplessness of being a soldier. Tomorrow may be buried forever in my heart.

......

The next day, rows of horse-drawn carriages traveled from south to north in the city of Red Sleeves, trapped with prisoners in prison uniforms tied to chains. The streets are lined with people watching the excitement. The prisoner car kept going straight to the death row execution ground near the north gate.

On a normal day, people on both sides of the street would have thrown things in their hands at the prisoners. Today, however, it is strange that no one threw anything at the man in the prisoner's car.

Because everyone knows it in their hearts. Sitting in the prisoner car was Lan Hou, the loyal and famous Lan Hou.

Lan Hou asked for the people's life, and it has been widely spread among the people, even if the government strictly prohibits these rumors, but the rumors are like a plague, once they spread, how can they be controlled?

"Bai'er, are you confused?" Lan Hou couldn't help but roar when he saw that Lan Baibai and Zhou Tong were also trapped in the cage.

"Daddy...... I can't just watch you being framed by them and remain indifferent. Lan Baibai said to his father next to him.

"General Zhou, Bai'er is confused, are you also confused? Minshan City still needs you, and the people still need you!" Lan Hou shouted helplessly.

"Waiting for the master...... Alas. Zhou Tong also knew that no matter how he explained at this time, he would look pale and weak, and couldn't help sighing.

In the middle of the ring, when they arrived at the execution ground, the soldiers dispersed the people on both sides. escorted Lan Hou and Lan Ding and the others to the execution ground.

"Get on your knees. ”

The executioner sitting on the main platform was a white-faced and cold-faced man, and he slapped the wooden card in front of the table with a "snap".

What kind of person is Lan Hou, and how can he succumb to his obscenity. He stood in the middle of the field.

"Call me. ”

"Bang" bursts of iron rods hit everyone's legs, knocking everyone to their knees.

"Dog thief ......". Lan Ding shouted angrily in his heart, and with a "plop" sound, he also fell to his knees on the ground.

"Hehe, scold, don't worry, fifty-three minutes, the time will come soon, so you can't speak if you have a mouth. The cold-faced supervisor sneered.

"You dog thief, even if you die today, you will definitely kill Wei Yin's dog thief in the next life. Lan Ding scolded.

"Brother, if you don't say a word, the execution will be carried out immediately. Isn't it good to leave the words to say goodbye to my father?" Lan Bai Bai saw Lan Ding angrily and couldn't help but persuade.

Long Xingyu held the long sword and hid in the crowd and looked at the execution ground from a distance, looking at the majestic soldiers on both sides, Long Xingyu secretly thought, if he directly saved people, he would definitely fight with these soldiers, the other party was numerous, and Lan Hou and Lan Bai Bai were endowed with iron chains, it was better to subdue the prison officials on the execution ground first and wait for everyone to lift the iron chains, and then kill out of the city, he also had helpers.

Thinking of this, Long Xingyu was about to draw his sword, only to see a black horse galloping in the street, the horse did not stop, the person on the horse rolled down, hurriedly came to the execution ground, lifted his clothes and knelt down, and shouted loudly: "Lord Gao, the north city gate is harassed by the rebels, and the national teacher is afraid that the incident will change, so let the adults execute quickly." ”

"There was a rebellion in the northern city?...... Hmph, it must be the last dying struggle of those rabble in Minshan. The cold-faced warden's face changed suddenly, and he guessed angrily. Then he picked up the table and threw it into the execution ground, shouting

"Cut ....... ”

In the execution ground, several juniper men slowly raised the ghost-headed broadsword in their hands.

"Stop. ”

Long Xingyu shouted, then waved his sword and volleyed into the air, shouting: "Dog, grandpa is here...... ”
