Chapter 039: The five-horse carriage is split in front of the city

In the discussion of Xiang Cheng and the four of them, the sky outside the temple gradually brightened. It's not so much that the four of them are discussing, but that Bai Ren has been talking, and occasionally Gan Ning will say something different.

After the general strategy is determined, the division of labor of each person is gradually detailed.

Among the four, Xiang Cheng has the largest body and the most strength, so Xiang Cheng is mainly responsible for attracting the attention of the guards.

Gan Ning's kung fu is not much different from Xiang Cheng, and Gan Ning is responsible for cooperating with Xiang Cheng.

Ma Zhong's appearance is the most inconspicuous one, and after Luoyang is disrupted, Ma Zhong needs to find an opportunity to rob Ma Yuanyi out.

In the end, Bai Ren was responsible for finding a safe place for the three of them to settle down after success.

After arranging the division of labor, several people stepped on the horses and rushed to Luoyang City. When they arrived in Luoyang, the city guards rubbed their sparse sleepy eyes and collected the entrance fees of those who wanted to enter the city. Luoyang's entry fee is very high, but there are countless businessmen around, and they are just rushing into the city to grab a good position to sell goods.

When Xiang Cheng and his party arrived in Luoyang, there was already a long queue at the gate of the city. Xiang Cheng and a few people spent a little money to buy a front position, and it didn't take long for a few people to accept the entanglement.

"Where are the people, what are you doing in Luoyang?" The city guards raised their heads and asked Xiang Cheng, who was at the forefront.

Xiang Cheng didn't answer yet, but Bai Ren came out: "I am Lu Zhi and Lord Lu's subordinate to the sword and pen, and I was in charge of cleaning the battlefield yesterday, so I came back late." These people want to come to the hometown of Lord Lu. ”

Bai Ren is still wearing the military uniform of the Han Army, and he naturally has to be upright when he speaks angrily. Xiang Cheng and the three of them saw Bai Ren slapping their eyes at themselves, and they were also in a hurry, "yes, yes, yes".

The city guards looked at Bai Ren's waist card and did not suspect him, so they let the four of them go, but Xiang Cheng saved a penny.

After entering the city, Xiang Cheng was in no mood to look at how prosperous Luoyang City was, but he just urged Bai Ren to take them to the vegetable market. The magnificence of this Luoyang City is worthless in Xiang Cheng's eyes.

Urging is urging but the current hour is only a little more than an hour, and there is still nearly an hour before Ma Yuanyi enters the Dharma field. There are three execution places in Luoyang, and although Xiang Cheng is in a hurry, he can't do that headless fly.

After explaining the situation to Xiang Cheng, Bai Ren took Xiang Cheng and the three of them to a cloth shop.

There are no good fabrics in the store, and Xiang Cheng and a few people don't buy good cloth anyway. casually pulled a few feet of black cloth, and several people entered a small house under Bai Ren's arrangement. This house is Bai Ren's residence in Luoyang, although it is not a big mansion, but at least there is no need to sleep on the Chase bunk in the barracks and smell the smell of feet.

Originally, Bai Ren meant to use black cloth to make a masked square scarf, but unfortunately none of the four big men knew how to use needles and threads. Xiang Cheng simply tore it with his hand, and the black cloth like a dog gnawing on it covered the faces of several people. Of course, it's not right now, but it's something to use when you find the Dharma field later.

Bai Ren had never seen others rob the Dharma field since he was born, and he didn't know where he knew about the idea of covering his face with a black cloth.

Anyway, now the four of them are huddled in this small dark house, waiting for the time to come. Xiang Chengcheng was thinking, it would be nice if there was a mahjong or something in the Han Dynasty, and it would be excellent to rub a pot of mahjong when waiting for people like this.

"What is mahjong?" Every time Xiang Cheng thought of something new, our overlord couldn't help but be curious.

Xiang Cheng had no choice but to explain: "Mahjong is a casual game, originally a game of royalty and princes and nobles, and its history can be traced back to three or four thousand years ago. In the long-term historical evolution process, mahjong gradually spread from the court to the people, and was basically finalized in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. ”

After that, Xiang Cheng sketched a picture of playing mahjong in his mind for Xiang's reference.

"Playthings are demoralized, and we are going to take away Liu Ji's children's world, so we must not waste time on these things." After the book was understood, it was a "plaything" evaluation of this mahjong.

Xiang Cheng had no choice but to laugh, saying that he would wait until he took the world.

As the crowd on the street increased, Bai Ren thought that the time should be almost up, so he took Xiang Cheng Ganning and went to the street. After walking around the street a few times, Bai Ren spoke after letting Xiang Cheng and the three of them memorize the surrounding environment.

"You have to remember this place in my house clearly, and we will gather here after getting rid of the pursuers." Bai Ren said softly.

Xiang Cheng and the others also nodded, showing that they had memorized it. Then the four of them split into three teams and scattered.

Xiang Cheng and Gan Ning went to the vegetable market in the east.

After arriving at the place, there was no one at this execution ground at all, no soldiers and no Ma Yuanyi, Xiang Cheng Ganning walked towards the north again without saying a word.

This time we did go the right way, and the guardrails had begun to be fenced off here, and the soldiers were also standing aside, as if a scene was about to happen to something big.

This place in the north was Ma Zhong who arrived first, and Ma Zhong had already figured out the surrounding deployment.

"Ji Yu, twelve military horses have been transferred here, as well as five carts." Ma Zhong found Xiang Cheng in the crowd, and said softly at this time: "How can you even calculate the method of execution?" It's really a god. ”

"Ma Zhong, don't say it's useless, what else is there to deploy around." Regarding Ma Yuanyi's death, it is naturally recorded in the history books, but Xiang Chengcai is too lazy to explain this.

"There are a hundred soldiers on the bright side around, and the prisoners have not yet come out, counting the soldiers they have brought with them, it is estimated that there are about one hundred and twenty or thirty people." Ma Zhong continued: "I just walked around for a while, and there are more than fifty people around me who seem to be ordinary people with swords. Presumably also a member of the official family. ”

Xiang Cheng lowered his head and pondered for a while after hearing this, if there were still people in the dark around here, it would be about two hundred.

In the vegetable market, if you are an ordinary person, ten people can't get into your body, and twenty people can barely fight. He and Gan Ning can only fight about forty people at most, and it seems that the plan can only be changed.

The reason why Xiang Cheng and Ganning can only fight 20 people in the vegetable market is because the vegetable market is a place that extends in all directions. If this man comes up from all directions, there will always be a few fish that slip through the net or chop or chop and hit him. Besides, Xiang Cheng couldn't use his own Chu halberd here, he just had an iron knife with him. Don't talk about using the Chu halberd here, even if you take it out, it is estimated that it will have to be disarmed.

Xiang Cheng is here to save people, not to give his life.

"Xingba, Ma Zhong, the plan is going to change." Xiang Cheng suppressed his voice and said: "I will disturb the peace for a while, you two can take the time to save Brother Yuanyi, the enemy is more than 10,000 invincible." ”

Ma Zhong nodded to indicate that he knew, but Gan Ning waved his hand casually noncommittally.

Xiang Cheng was helpless for a while and told Gan Ningyou: "Xingba, we are here to save people, not to give lives." Be careful yourself. We can't run away, but if we make such a fuss, this execution must be postponed, and we still have time. ”

"I know, I know, Jiyu, you weren't so verbose before." Gan Ning was a little impatient and waved his hand to show that he knew.

Xiang Cheng sighed helplessly and turned around to leave, but Gan Ning spoke: "Be careful yourself." ”

It seems that Gan Ning still listened to his own speech, Xiang Cheng felt relieved in his heart, tightened the iron knife that Eveli was hiding and turned his head away.

When the hour came, the sinner was dressed in white and had a sack over his head and was carried by four jailers into the execution ground. After the sinners entered, a series of officials such as the prison beheader, the executioner, and the proclamator also poured in. The officers were followed by dozens of soldiers.

These soldiers are mainly to protect the safety of officials, although there has not been a case of an official dying on Xingxingtai in this Han Dynasty.

These officials sat down on the temporary high platform, and if Xiang Cheng was here, he would be able to see that one of these officials was ugly and girly.

This person is not who Tang Zhou is.

Sitting in the main position was the young man who was poisoned and beat Ma Yuanyi in prison that day, and the young official who was sitting was Tang Zhou, and now this person and Tang Zhou were talking and laughing and didn't know what they were talking about.

Ma Yuanyi was paralyzed on the ground by these jailers on the execution ground, and after the sack was removed, the whip marks on his face and neck could be clearly seen, presumably the night was also spent in severe beatings.

Several soldiers fastened the iron ropes one by one on Ma Yuanyi's hands, feet and neck, as if they wanted to announce to the surrounding people that this execution was not a previous beheading.

After the iron rope was all buckled, an official took it out, and Ma Yuanyi's statement was read out.

"Sinner, Ma Yuanyi, Jingzhou people......" The official first talked about Ma Yuanyi's life and the crimes committed by Ma Yuanyi, this thought was half an hour, and it was not until the end that he talked about Ma Yuanyi's criminal law: "Therefore, the court lieutenant decided to convict Ma Yuanyi of the punishment of 'car splitting'!" ”

After saying this, the official returned to the stage with a statement, but the people who were intercepted by the soldiers began to whisper earnestly.

"Taiping Dao is all good people, is this court mistaken?"

"Yes, my baby was sick a few years ago, and it was still the talisman water given by the immortal master of this Taiping Dao."

"No way, I don't believe that Taiping Dao would do such a thing."

Words like this became louder and louder, and the officials and soldiers on the execution ground had no choice but to clean up the order at the scene.

Ma Yuanyi, who was paralyzed on the ground, laughed after hearing this: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse." If you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect, and I, Ma Yuanyi, am not a good man if I frown. Hahahaha. ”

After listening to Ma Yuanyi's words, the officials on Xingxingtai couldn't sit still. The young man casually looked at the sun and announced, "Noon," and then pulled out the arrow from the bamboo tube on the table.

But he didn't want to suddenly scream on the left side of the execution ground: "Ahhhh Kill! ”

The shouting was a soldier in armor, and as the soldier shouted and fell to the ground, a burly figure appeared in front of everyone with his face covered.

Tang Zhou also followed this shout, but he jumped up in fright. The difference between Xiang Chengmeng and not covering his face is really not big, especially for Tang Zhou, after all, Tang Zhou has had nightmares for many nights, and this figure is in his dreams.

After being frightened, Tang Zhou thought that he was under the protection of these sergeants, and then he felt at ease. Then he pointed at Xiang Cheng and shouted: "Kill him for me!" ”
