The time was slowly approaching noon, but suddenly the wind was raging, and I don't know if the sudden wind was also wailing for a life that was about to die.

It has been half an hour since Lu Jue was put into the prison car, but there is still a short way to go from the execution ground. In fact, it was only a few quarters of an hour's journey from the state government prison to the execution of the law, but because of Lu Jue's special status, both sides of the short road were crowded with people watching the excitement, making the prisoner car almost to the point where it was difficult to move an inch. There were people in this crowd who mourned the imminent loss of life at such a young age; There are also those who ridicule and think that the sin deserves to be seen.

In the face of all this, whether Lu Jue was numb, resigned to his fate, or because he was already prepared and knew the result, he closed his eyes calmly and leaned on the railing of the prisoner car, and his demeanor did not look like he was going to die. If it weren't for his ugly countenance, and his swollen hands that swayed from side to side in the prison cart to avoid getting involved in the wound in his abdomen, who would have associated this humble gentleman with the most heinous man.

This year, the weather in the south was particularly abnormal, a snow had already fallen in October, and it was close to noon at this time, but it was extremely cold because of the wind, and the whole day was gloomy as if it was about to fall, which made people's mood also depressing.

Wan Yan Lie on the other end was waiting at the prison beheading platform of the execution ground early in the morning, and the mysterious person who appeared in the Zhou family, as well as the forbidden army and the dead soldiers who were trapped in Deyue Tower by him, were rescued by him, and he didn't want to be distracted by those things now. Today's events will either fall short, or they will be lifted altogether. Wearing a dark mink, he sat quietly on the Taishi's chair covered with mink, staring at the slowly approaching prisoner cart with an unpredictable expression.

Gradually, the prisoner cart got closer and closer to the execution ground, and the crowd also took a step forward, and the small execution ground was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and it was not difficult for the people who pushed and shoved to see some familiar faces, these people were the dead soldiers and forbidden soldiers who were preparing to rescue Lu Jue.

Some things are tacitly understood, Wan Yanlie seems to be as calm as water, but his heart has been turbulent, looking down at the fingers that are hurting, trying to control himself to keep himself in his current state. There was a sound, the expression on his face changed slightly, he lifted his eyelids and glanced at Lu Jue, who was escorted out of the prison car, and then at the hourglass, the time was already close at hand, and after more than 20 years of entanglement, it seemed that the goal had stabilized at this moment. He glanced at the dead soldiers and forbidden soldiers who were waiting for the opportunity to prepare, lowered his head and smiled with relief, slowly got up, tightened his nerk, walked to the execution table, stood beside Lu Jue, stared at him quietly for a moment, sighed, leaned over slightly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Xiao Jue, I have been looking for you for five years and protecting you for seventeen years!" Rightly or wrongly, I've been right for everyone. Today's actions don't talk about who has failed whom, that's my country, whether I can save it or not, it's time to do my part, right? ”

Hearing his words, Lu Jue shook his head with a smile, sat on the ground tremblingly, frowned and looked at him helplessly: "What does the prince want Lu to do, the prince doesn't believe it when he tells the truth, but if he follows the prince's wishes, those few tokens are indeed nowhere to be found, and now that Lu has fallen into this field, why should the prince be embarrassed." ”

His words did not anger Wan Yan Lie, he smiled and took off his robe, bent over Lu Jue, who was only wearing prison clothes, and said calmly: "It's cold, don't catch a cold." Then he squatted down and said tightly for him: "This king has a piece of advice, adults should understand that as long as King Luo is still high on the next day, as long as this layer of window paper has not been pierced, this king will still have the right for a day, and the meaning should be understood." ”

Lu Jue still said with a smile: "Although Lu Mou didn't dare to say that he was full of economic wealth and five cars, he could be regarded as reading a few books of sages, and there was not a word in it that taught people to abandon good and promote evil, treachery, and betrayal of the country for glory!" ”

Wan Yanlie shook his head and said with a look of unworthiness for him: "You are loyal to the country with great responsibility and righteousness, but you ended up being tortured, beheaded, and separated by yin and yang from relatives and lovers." And the Zhou family that you sacrificed your life to guard, the loyal court, they are all shrinking turtles at this time, and they are not worth watching your life and death. Raise your hand and pat him on the shoulder to remind.

Lu Jue turned his head slightly to look at the hand on his shoulder, smiled and sneered at his pain and said: "The prince has done his best for his country, not only missed his life, but also fell into a brotherhood, and the brothers and sisters turned against each other. But even so, Jin Guo still can't escape the will of heaven, both lose and abandon, are you worth it! ”

This is undoubtedly the sore spot that Wan Yanlie is most reluctant to mention, his face sank, he glared at Lu Jue angrily, and snorted at the corner of his mouth: "What a sharp-toothed Lord Siqing, I'm afraid that you will do a lot, just make a wedding dress for others." ”

Lu Jue lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he regarded death as his home and said without regret: "I also have the good thing in my heart, although I have not regretted it even if I have died."

"Well, if you insist on this, there is nothing the king can do." got up and looked back at the hourglass that had been leaked and said: "I am unscrupulous, although my heart hurts, I can be in a dilemma of loyalty and righteousness since ancient times, and I only hope that you and I will not be enemies in the next life." He raised his hand and put it on Lu Jue's shoulder and squeezed it hard.

His actions made Lu Jue's heart ache inexplicably, his hands hung on his knees, and he replied with a complicated feeling: "Hope!" ”

Wan Yanlie frowned and glanced at him, opened his mouth and didn't say anything, turned around and returned to the prison beheading platform, took out the order arrow, and shouted: "The disobedient Lu Jue, as an official of the imperial court, is blessed with the emperor's grace but is not grateful, killing the prince, privately making dragon robes, colluding with the rebels to deliberately rebel, the above crimes have been ascertained by the king, and now he is beheaded according to the law of Daqi, and the time has come, and the execution will be carried out." ”

Although the words fell, the arrow in his hand did not fall, and his eyes stared around, as if waiting for something to happen.

Yao Minghao on the other end of the city quickly whipped up after entering the city, eager to take one step as two steps. But at this critical moment, a fast arrow galloped and struck the horse, and the horse neighed and fell to the ground and died. Yao Minghao was also thrown out heavily, but before he could react when he landed, dozens of people rushed out of the houses on the street and slashed at him without saying anything.

Yao Minghao was embarrassed on the ground, rolled a few times in a row, and barely parried.

At this critical moment, Zhu Gui jumped down from the attic, waved a few flying knives with both hands and galloped out, and the few people behind went to see the king of Hades before they could react, and the rest of the people didn't care about killing Yao Minghao, and killed Zhu Gui one after another.

Yao Minghao took this opportunity to pull out a matching knife from the saddle and kill it.

A good Zhu Gui saw him leap forward, jumped into the crowd with a flexible wave of his hands, and several flying knives came out of his hands, like a dragon rushing straight into the throat of several people, and when a few people fell to the ground, he took out the short scimitar from his waist again, stretched out his hand to stop Yao Minghao who caught up and said: "Don't waste time here, leave these few minions to me, there will be a lot of ambushes along the road, although there are still others to answer, but still be careful." ”

"Brother Xie Zhu reminds me, then I might as well obey my fate if I am respectful, please." He bowed his fists and thanked him, and ran in the direction of the execution ground.

When those killers saw people leaving, they gave up to besiege Zhu Gui and chased after them. I saw that Zhu Gui's footsteps moved slightly and stopped in front of several people, holding a scimitar and waving it, only to see the shadow of the knife. As soon as those people made a posture, they returned to Jiuquan with their souls, and then Zhu Gui checked around to ensure that there was no obstacle to the arrival of the Protector of the Kingdom, and only after confirming that it was correct did he rest assured that he would chase Yao Minghao and eradicate the remaining killers.

However, Yao Minghao's road was not very smooth, he was like Guan Yunchang, who had passed five levels and killed six generals. But fortunately, Zhu Zhen made arrangements in advance along the road, although the road encountered some obstacles, but fortunately, there was no danger. Gradually, the execution ground was in front of him, looking at the crowd that was full of people for fear of not being able to catch up, and a few zhang began to shout at the top of his voice: "The holy decree has arrived, the holy decree has pardoned the Dali Temple Qing Lu Jue is not guilty, the holy decree has arrived, the holy has the will to pardon the Dali Temple Qing Lu Jue is not guilty." ”

Just when Wan Yanlie was still hesitating when to make a move, this sound had already reached his ears, and he understood that it would be really too late if he didn't do it at this time, and if he missed this time, it would be impossible to have a chance. As soon as the word "chop" came out, the arrow in his hand was thrown out at the same time.

After so many efforts, it was in vain, and the chance to survive was just around the corner, but it seemed to be heavily guarded here in the sky, as long as the holy decree was not in his hands, he had a reason, but even if he didn't recognize it, it was useless! Providence is like this, and at this point, Lu Jue also accepted his fate, and only hoped to die alone to give others a chance, so what regrets would there be, he closed his eyes and accepted it gladly!

At this extremely urgent moment, Bai Jiu and Wanyan Meizhu jumped out of the crowd at the same time, and one of them rushed forward like a sharp sword to hold the arrow; The other directly rushed to the torture table, only to see a slight sword wave, cut off the executioner's steel knife at the waist, and then kicked the fat executioner down. Then he hurriedly turned around and took the half of the steel knife again, but it was too late, and he saw that the tip of the half steel knife grazed Lu Jue's neck, leaving a blood mark and inserted it directly into the execution table.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and Bai Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, put his fingers in his mouth, and blew hard, crisp and bright.

The whistle was like a signal, and then a hundred or so people rushed out of the crowd, protecting the small torture platform in the middle.

Immediately after that, several people came out of it and jumped onto the execution platform and protected Lu Jue in the middle. Among them were the rescued Night Wind and the Night Phosphorus who rushed back with Zhu Zhen, and the two hurriedly untied the rope tied to Lu Jue's body, and then helped him up.

Looking at the night breeze Lu Jue, who had not yet changed his torn clothes, was full of self-blame, he didn't think well that day, although Lei Gang managed to escape, he hurt the night wind, and now he saw that although he suffered some flesh and skin, but fortunately, he only hurt his flesh and bones, he stood in front of him unharmed, and Lu Jue's guilt was slightly reduced.

These were already within Yan Lie's calculations, but at this time, he was difficult to be happy, and he didn't know what attitude to use in the face of his sister who was close to him. Since the last time the brother and sister turned against each other, they didn't expect it to be the current scene when they met again, and only he knew whether Wan Yanlie was bitter or astringent in his heart. He first lowered his head and laughed at himself, and then looked at Wan Yan Meizhu in a complicated way, they are relatives but they want to oppose each other today, how can they bear to exterminate her together!

But if he hesitates about her now, and is afraid that he will fall short because of her involvement, this matter is very entangled in his heart. But although he was entangled in his heart, he was also thinking about the purpose of her appearance here, and the person who had not yet appeared, what tricks did this person have?

At this moment, several people arrived one after another, so that he also understood that today is either a complete defeat or a complete achievement, and success or failure is here.

Wan Yan Lie looked at Yao Minghao, who came in time, looked at his sister who was struggling with him, smiled bitterly and threw the fake token in his hand on the table, and with a wave of his hand, the people and horses arranged early poured out from all directions, surrounding this small execution ground.
