Chapter 48: Crisis
The soldiers on the execution ground received Liu Mocheng's order, although they were a little afraid in their hearts, but the name of the county was difficult to disobey, holding spears, surrounding Li Muqi and others, just waiting for Liu Mocheng's next order.

"Please atone for the sins of rudeness," Liu Mocheng looked at Li Muqi and gave an official salute, and said loudly, "This official is deeply favored by the emperor, and at this time, he is even more under the emperor's order, and he also holds tens of thousands of Li people in Weizhou, and he does not dare to forget the national law for personal reasons, and he values himself and forgets tens of thousands of people who suffered in Weizhou, and ignores them." Therefore, Xia Guan can only do this. Besides, this is an execution ground, and you are just a king of leisure, and you have no right to interfere in the affairs of the state government, let alone interfere with the impartial enforcement of the law by your own officials. This is true of national law, so is human affection, and it can only be so. Liu Mocheng looked at the dozens of officers and soldiers who surrounded Li Muqi in the center, and shouted, "If you don't do it quickly, you will beat the people who disturb the law enforcement with sticks." ”
"Who dares to be rude?" Li Antong took a step forward and stood in front of Li Muqi, not looking at the soldiers of the state capital who were slowly pressing in, nor caring about the spear that was almost dangling in front of him. looked at Liu Mocheng coldly, and sneered, "Liu Mocheng, how dare you be so rude and presumptuous?"
"It's not that the official is rude," Liu Mocheng sighed, his face was full of helplessness, and his voice was very hoarse, sounding very painful. "It's not the official who is like this, but the official who teaches the law of the country. People are affectionate, but national law is ruthless. With a full of pain on his face, he waved his hand with great difficulty and unbearable.
"Who dare?" shouted, Li Antong waved his hand forward and grabbed it, and then rotated, a spear had already reached his hand, and the cold tip of the spear pointed directly at the slowly approaching soldier.
There was another loud shout, and then a galloping horse, separated from the crowd of onlookers, and also rushed away, surrounding the soldiers of Li Muqi and others, and came to Li Muqi. The horse chirped, jumped and jumped steadily onto Xingtai. The man on the horse hurriedly jumped off the horse, looked at Li Muqi kneeling on the ground, took out a gold medal from his arms, raised his hands above his head, and presented it in front of Li Muqi, his heart was full of resentment. With a feeling of guilt, he said, "Please redeem the villain, who is late, and let King Xianyi be frightened." ”
"It's okay," Li Muqi said with a smile, bent down, helped Du Rukang, who was full of shame, gently patted his shoulder, wiped the fine sweat on Du Rukang's forehead, and said, "You came at the right time, if you came earlier, you wouldn't have seen such a picture, and I didn't know Liu Mo's means of inheriting Lord Liu." Li Muqi squinted at Liu Mocheng and sneered, "It's hard to know Lord Liu's mind." ”
Liu Mocheng looked at the gold medal in Li Muqi's hand, and he was really frightened in his heart. There was no trace of horror on his face, and a low, angry voice sounded, "Don't do it quickly, take down the person who disturbed the execution ground." ”
"Lord Liu, I'm afraid it's too late. ”
"This gold medal can't save you. Liu Mocheng sneered, "The execution ground, according to the law, should be punished." That gold medal, I'm afraid, is useless at this time. I hope that the king of Xianyi will not blame this official. He shouted sharply, "If you don't want to take down the person who disturbed the execution ground on the spot." ”
"This gold medal is not to save my life," Li Muqi sneered, "but your talisman." ”
"Even at this moment, it is reasonable for this official to correct you on the spot," Liu Mocheng said with a fierce face, "Robbery and serious offenders, I think King Xianyi also knows the nature of this matter, and there is no need for this official to remind and explain." ”
"I do know the punishment for this matter," Li Muqi said with a smile, "It's just that at this moment, Lord Liu doesn't need to worry about me, but he should worry about himself, and don't do foolish things again." ”
At this moment, Ma Rugang rode a fast horse and hurried over, his official uniform was full of messiness, and the neckline was even worse. With a trace of anxiety on his face, he looked at the soldiers surrounding Li Muqi, and shouted, "If you don't retreat quickly, you dare to be so rude." Don't you know the gold medal in the hand of King Xianyi? Do you want Ben Qincha to teach it himself?"
At this moment, the wind and dust suddenly rose, and an extremely majestic team of men and horses surrounded the execution ground. Looking at those sergeants, the onlookers looked frightened and surprised in their hearts, and their eyes were focused on a general in silver helmet and silver armor, jumped off his horse, quickly walked in front of Li Muqi, gave a military salute, and said, "Please atone for the sin of being late in the future." ”
"What is the general's crime?" Li Muqi said with a smile, "The general, please get up, don't disturb the people." ”
The room was very quiet, and the bright candlelight reflected Li Muqi, who was a little worried. Xue Bingli, who was lying on the soft hospital bed, looked at Li Muqi's face and wanted to say some comforting words, but his throat rolled, and he couldn't say anything, only a hoarse voice.
Luo Qiuhe, who was engrossed in healing Xue Bingli's wounds, felt the rise and fall of Xue Bingli's chest, and also looked at Xue Bingli, who was full of anxiety at this time, and said, "The medicine they gave you is too heavy, I'm afraid that you will only be able to speak tomorrow." Forgive the old man for being incompetent. Luo Qiuhe stopped talking and concentrated on dealing with the other wounds on Xue Bingli's body.
Mu He saw the wound on Xue Bingli's body - it was just the most superficial wound, which had already touched her heart, tears fell like rain, and she couldn't bear to look at it again. Li Muqi saw her like this, so he asked Li Antong to take her out of here.
Du Rukang looked at Xue Bingli who was lying on the bed and said, "Why don't you take Liu Mo to the Dharma on the spot today?"
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. Li Muqi had a layer of helplessness on his face, and said, "This is not the time to behead him, even if he is beheaded, it can't change the current status quo." ”
"How long will it take?"
"Wait until the time comes. ”
"When is that time?" Du Rukang looked at Li Muqi with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Now he is only putting Liu Mocheng under house arrest, and he is not detained, and his power is not taken away, why is this? ”
"It's easy to kill a person, but it's difficult to save tens of thousands of people," Li Muqi said with a worried face, "If I killed him alone, I would have been able to save tens of thousands of people in Wei Zhou, and I would have beheaded him a long time ago." ”
"Then if you leave him behind, will you be able to save tens of thousands of people in Wei Zhou?" Du Rukang questioned.
Li Muqi smiled mysteriously, but did not answer Du Rukang's question. Looking at Li Muqi, with the smile on his face, Du Rukang was even more puzzled, but he already had an answer in his heart - he believed that Li Muqi would give him the most perfect answer, because he believed in Li Muqi and firmly believed that Li Muqi's ability would not disappoint the people of Weizhou.
If Li Muqi knew that his decision would be in danger to him, and even the people around him, I don't know if he would change his decision at this time.
Ma Rugang was lying on a soft couch at this time, with a thick melancholy in his eyes, and he couldn't stop regretting and sighing. He had no intention of looking at the charming and feminine woman who was sitting not far from him at this time, and even when he heard her words, irritability and anger would rise in his heart. Stopped her words sharply, and even slammed the object in her hand on her weak body, without any trace of sympathy and pity.
Looking at the expression on Ma Rugang's face at this time, there was no trace of emotion at all. I can't help but think that last night, his gentle, affectionate words, as well as the pity and tenderness in his eyes, were like a thin thorn piercing the softest part of his heart. I couldn't help but be full of regret, full of sadness, and I didn't dare to shed tears of purpose, and I didn't dare to sob.
If the tears in his eyes flow, it is even more painful: it seems to be laughing - laughing at his own cowardice, laughing at his own ignorance, laughing at his own amorous feelings.
The beauty of the past is just the piece of salt above the wound; the happier and more beautiful it is, the more painful it is now; the more you recall, the more you sprinkle salt on the wound. But I can't help but think about it, I can't help but reminisce...
Ma Rugang is constantly sketching in his heart, constantly recalling the development of things and every detail. He had to find a way to get away with it, a way to get away and keep his position—whatever it was, it would be a great way to help him. Gradually, a layer of joy appeared on his face, and his heart slowly became clearer. This must be a good method, Ma Rugang said confidently in his heart.
Unexpectedly, there would be such a change, Liu Mocheng thought to himself: Who would have thought that the imperial court would have such an arrangement. Liu Mocheng exhaled a long breath of turbidity, picked up the teacup on the table, and put it down again. looked at the light of the lights outside the window, and there was a hatred in his heart: Li Muqi. If it weren't for you, how could I be experiencing this kind of pain at this moment? Thinking of Li Muqi, he suddenly remembered one person - Wang Jingju. A chill instantly welled up in his heart, and he said hatefully, "Wang Jingju, I didn't expect that the key to this matter was him." I couldn't help praying in my heart that Wang Jingju wouldn't let Li Muqi see those things.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Muqi, who finally realized it, already knew what Wang Jing was doing, and he couldn't help but curse a stupid sentence in his heart. Carefully recalling all the things, thinking about every step of the matter, every detail, I want to try to understand how much Li Muqi knows and how much he knows. The more I thought about it, the more frightened my heart became, the cold sweat had wet my back, my hands trembled unconsciously, and my heart was full of fear. In the future, I am afraid that there is only one future waiting for me. Liu Mocheng's heart floated with a terrible answer, this answer filled him with fear, and his body slowly became cold, as if he had sensed the approach of that answer.
If you don't change the current situation and don't do something, I'm afraid that only that answer awaits you. Liu Mo said in his heart: Change, how to change, what else can I do at this time. What can be done?
There must be something else to do, to be able to change this matter, Liu Mocheng reminded himself: he must do something, if this is the case, the matter is not over, it has reached the final end.
At this moment, Liu Mocheng suddenly thought of one thing - this is definitely a crazy idea, and it is also an idea that can change his fate, and it is definitely a good method.
Imagining this thought in my mind, I couldn't help but smile on my face—a strange smile: a crazy smile on my hideous cheeks, a face that made people afraid to look at it in fear—almost like the devil in hell.
At this time, the wind seemed to be wafting with Liu Mocheng's laughter, a chilling laughter. In the light flows, fades in the darkness. Maybe it didn't disappear into the darkness, but mixed with the darkness, the more chilling sounds, lurking in every corner of the darkness.
