Chapter 586: Proclamation
It was dark outside, with only sporadic lights on the streets.
When the three of them came to the West City Gate, it was close to ten o'clock in the evening.
The west gate is still wide open, and there are more than a dozen city guards guarding the gate.
Han Xuening vaguely saw that there was a large notice posted on the inner wall of the city wall.
"Look, there's some notice going on here?" Han Xuening pointed to a large piece of paper on the wall at the city gate and said.
Wei Yunxuan said: "Yes! Not sure what is written on it! ”
Bai Zijun thought of an idea, "Let's go take off the notice in a while and take a closer look!" ”
A few people nodded, and after waiting around for more than ten minutes, the city guards at the city gate began to close the city gate, taking advantage of this time slot, Bai Zijun quickly ran under the city wall and tore off the notice on the wall.
After retrieving the notice, the three of them hurried back.
When I arrived at the inn, I entered Wei Yunxuan's room.
Bai Zijun took out the notice he had just taken off from his side, the notice was spread out on the table in the room, Han Xuening brought a fire oil lamp, and several people looked at the content of the notice with the help of the light.
It said that in ten days, a group of rebels would be executed at the West City Gate.
Bai Zijun said suspiciously: "Why are you going to execute people again?" It must have been the people from the side of the original defenders who were executed. ”
Wei Yunxuan said: "Now, the entire main city of the Heavenly Domain is controlled by the army of the Tiansha Alliance, killing a group of the original defenders who did not surrender, first, let everyone see, those who do not obey the current leadership of the Tiansha Alliance will die." Then, give the people in the city a dismount, and if they commit crimes in the city in the future, or take in the rebels, they will not end well. ”
Han Xuening said: "It seems that the leader of the Tiansha Alliance is really not simple now. I wonder how many people will be executed this time? ”
Wei Yunxuan thought for a moment and said, "There are still ten days left before the time to execute the rebels, so let's live here while inquiring about the whereabouts of Mr. Wen and Ma. ”
Everyone agreed with Wei Yunxuan's opinion, the time was not early, and after a few people chatted for a while, they went back to rest.
The next day, they planned to go to the surrounding tea estates to inquire about the news.
The tea house has always been a place for people to gather and chat, and the three of them acted separately, and Bai Zijun went to the tea house to the east of the inn alone.
Han Xuening and Wei Yunxuan went to the tea house west of the inn to drink tea and inquire about the situation.
At the end of the day, the three of them all heard a lot of news.
Many people were talking about the execution of the rebel party at the West City Gate ten days later.
Some people say that none of the original three commanders who defended the city died, but were all locked up. Within ten days, they will be executed at the West City Gate.
Some people say that it is to execute some small leaders who are arrested and do not surrender, and to scare and scare some people who have not yet been caught.
Either way, it's a dismount for everyone. Only by obeying the orders of the new city lord can you live in peace here.
Bai Zijun said: "The commander of the South City Gate and the chief leader of the city guard may not be dead, maybe the two will be executed in public this time." ”
After all, the last time I inquired from a few people who had left the city, the news was not necessarily accurate.
Han Xuening was a little embarrassed, "Lord Wang! If nine days later, General Wang Ao and General Du Ping are not dead, should we save them? ”
In fact, this is also where Wei Yunxuan is entangled.
These two people can be regarded as friends of everyone, and the two have helped a lot before.
Originally, they had come to find Mr. Wen and Ma roughly this time, but it was really difficult to make a decision if they really saw that Wang Ao and Du Ping were going to be executed.
Wei Yunxuan thought for a while and said, "This matter is really a bit tricky, but let's still focus on finding Mr. Wen and Ma for now." The execution of the rebels at the West Gate could only be said after nine days. ”
For a week, all three of them were in the city to inquire about the situation.
The three of them also often went to the gates of various cities to see if there was anything abnormal, and within this week, there was no abnormality in Tianyu City.
At first, the people began to wonder who was to be slaughtered, and then they became curious.
This is human nature, Wei Yunxuan knows that after two days, there will definitely be no fewer people who go to the West City Gate to see the excitement.
That afternoon, the three of them booked a private room at the window on the second floor in a tea house closest to the west gate and the city gate.
In this way, in another day they will be able to watch the situation at the city gate outside from upstairs, and send the crowd differently.
On the morning of the execution, everyone got up early, and the execution of the rebels was scheduled for three o'clock in the afternoon.
Because at that time, there would definitely be many people watching the execution scene, and Han Xuening and the others arrived at the second floor of the tea house at the gate of the city very early.
The three of them ordered a lot of food, and they had already eaten it in the room.
Bai Zijun said: "There will definitely be a lot of people this afternoon, let's find a good place in advance and squeeze together with the people outside for free." ”
"You say, will the people who will be executed this time be Wang Ao and Du Ping?" Wei Yunxuan was also afraid that what he was worried about would happen.
If they were among those executed, the three of them would probably have saved both.
In this way, the army of the Heavenly Demon Alliance will start another round of pursuit and purge, and in the end, many civilians will definitely be killed and injured.
If the defenders of the city use archers to deal with the robbers and traffickers, there are many people around, and it is inevitable that innocent people will be killed and injured.
Han Xuening said: "We've been looking for more than a week, and Mr. Wen and Ma have probably no news. Could it be that the two of them have already been arrested by the people of the Heavenly Demon Alliance? ”
In fact, what Han Xuening said is also possible.
If they do get caught, things will be even more troublesome.
In order to save the two, they will definitely have to confront the Heavenly Demon Alliance once.
Minutes and seconds passed, and soon it was noon.
Bai Zijun said that he was hungry, so he called a lot of dishes up, and while eating, he didn't forget to look at the scene outside the window.
Han Xuening also came to the window and looked at the situation outside inside the city gate.
Because in less than an hour they will begin to wake up and cut off their heads, and many people have already come to watch. From a distance, there were almost a thousand people.
It is conceivable that when the time for execution is reached, there will be even more.
After Wei Yunxuan ate something, he walked to the window, looked at it, and said, "Human nature really likes to join in the fun, and there are so many people watching an execution scene." ”
Han Xuening said: "If there are more people coming, the Tiansha Alliance will be able to take the opportunity to let the people know that only users can live here in peace." Human nature is not only like to join in the fun, but human nature is also numb. How long has it been since the original defenders and the Heavenly Slayer Alliance fought a great battle, and these people are afraid that they have almost forgotten it. ”
Bai Zijun also smiled and said, "Miss Xue Ning is right, so, no matter who they want to kill for a while, let's just take a look." ”
