"What is the Lord's plan?"

"Now everything is just speculation, what if we guess wrong? It's better to wait and see. "Just do nothing. If Xuanyuan Che is really the master of the Dark Alliance, he is a character I can't afford to provoke, and before he went to the Dharma field, he saw that I hadn't discovered the flaws in this matter, so naturally there was a way to get out, and I could also push the boat to send him away, the great Bodhisattva. If he is not the master of the Dark Alliance, and the Dark Alliance has worked so hard, if I let him go, if the Dark Alliance comes down to kill me in a fit of anger, I will lose more than I gain!

But then again, in order not to offend the Dark Alliance, I really can't do this kind of thing by letting an innocent person die

"The West Market is empty, and the pedestal of the Dharma Field is the highest place there, and the guillotine used to behead the prisoner is also more than a foot high, if the prisoner lies down, the guillotine will naturally block the view of the onlookers standing in front of the guillotine. I want you to design a mechanism under the Dharma Field, just like in the Ghost King's Palace. First of all, we hid a heinous death row prisoner in the dark compartment under the court, and we took advantage of the gap between Xuanyuan Che lying on the ground and sticking his head into the gap before the guillotine, and swapped him with the death row prisoner in full view of everyone. ”

"This is simple, but it is impossible for there to be no onlookers on both sides of the guillotine, and there is a prison beheading platform at the back, if you want to hide from the sky and the sea under so many pairs of eyes, I'm afraid it's not that easy."

"It's not easy for others, but you can definitely do it."

"The Lord wants his subordinates to be the executioners of the firecrackers?" Mo Qian shook his head like a wave drum: "The subordinates are cowardly, this murderous and bloody thing, the subordinates really can't do it." The Lord should arrange some other errands for his subordinates! ”

"Okay!" I smiled slyly, "Master Mo Qian is the number one craftsman in the world, this thing is indeed Master Mo Qian, since Master Mo Qian can't be the executioner of the executioner, then be a prisoner who exchanges with Xuanyuan Che!" This also saves me from having to find another reason to go to the prison and bring a death row prisoner out. At that time, Master Mo Qian just exchanged with Xuanyuan Che, and then stretched out his head and closed his eyes, and there was nothing wrong with you! ”

Mo Qian shouted: "My subordinates are good people!" The Lord can't kill innocents indiscriminately to save your life! ”

"Where am I killing innocents? I killed the world's first flower picker! Even if it spreads one day, it will be a righteous act that makes people applaud! I stared at Mo Qian and asked, "To be an executioner or a death row prisoner, does Master Mo Qian have an idea?" ”

Mo Qian said categorically: "Executioner! ”

I sighed: "Those who know the times are handsome!" ”

I didn't tell anyone about the exchange of prisoners at the court, from the announcement of the beheading of Xuanyuan Che to the day of the execution, Zhuang Yuanxun, Qin Ruoan, Qing Yu, Mu Yu and even Xiao Ye tried more than once to make me change my mind and re-investigate the cause of death of the messenger. But I already have a plan, so naturally I can only let them down temporarily.

On the day of the execution, I took Mo Qian's carriage out of the palace with him, and when I arrived in Xishi, Mo Qian changed from my coachman to the executioner.

In order to prevent the exchange of prisoners from revealing flaws. As soon as Liang Shangshu, who was in charge of the execution, arrived in Xishi, Mo Qian took him to the carriage where I was parked next to the court, and I gave him a few words, and then sat back in the carriage with peace of mind.

When it was almost noon, the prisoner car carrying Xuanyuan Che slowly stopped on the edge of the court. After verifying his identity, Xuanyuan Che was brought to the guillotine, and as soon as noon arrived, with Liang Shangshu's order, Xuanyuan Che was pressed to the ground by Mo Qian, and quickly exchanged with the death row prisoner in the dark grid. The condemned prisoner had been fed medicine before, and he slept grogily, and when Mo Qian dragged him out and pressed his head on the guillotine, he drooped his head, and his unkempt hair covered his face. As Mo Qian pressed the guillotine, a bloody head rolled out......

"Ahh I thought that I would not feel so shocked and frightened when I saw more murderous scenes, but when I saw such bloody pictures in a state where my body was not abnormal and my mood was relatively calm, I was still so frightened that I screamed.

Just such a living life, and a person who has nothing to do with himself, but was pulled out by himself to be beheaded in place of another person, even if I know that he is a heinous villain, I still feel that I am disregarding human life, and I even thought that when I am a hundred years later, will I be thrown into those eighteen layers of hell because of this incident, and bear the punishment of iceberg oil pot.

Fortunately, my screams were drowned out by the applause of the people, and everyone thought that the person who lost his head was the one who killed the prince and almost killed the ghost king. The crown prince seized the grain at the top of the ghost king, so that they would not go hungry before the autumn harvest, and he was the best good man in the world.

How simple and simple people. Just because of one of your good, I forgave you for all the bad things before.

The undertaker quickly put away the corpse on the ground, and at this point, the whole thing was over.

In the woods outside the city, I saw Xuanyuan Che, who had changed into clean clothes, and when he saw me get out of the carriage, he raised his hand to increase his forehead and saluted me as usual.

"This palace helped you pack a few clothes, and there are five thousand taels of silver tickets." I handed over a small burden to Xuanyuan Che, "This palace doesn't know what you have with the Dark Alliance, but from today on, Xuanyuan Che is dead, find a place that no one knows, buy a house, buy some fields, and start a new life!" ”

"Your Highness, if you let me go, aren't you afraid that the people of the Dark Alliance will find trouble with you in the future?"

"The purpose of the Dark Alliance is to let the world know that I killed you, and now their goal has been achieved. It's you, it's no better than the East Palace outside, you must be careful everywhere. It's getting late, let's go! ”

"Your Highness!" Xuanyuan raised his head, this should be the first time he looked directly into my eyes, his slightly tired eyes were no longer as cold as usual, "Take care." With that, he turned around and walked into the distance.

"Take care." I turned around and got into the carriage. Mo Qian raised his horsewhip, and the carriage drove towards the city along the road from which he came.

The carriage that Lin Muyu and Mo Qian were riding quickly disappeared on the path in the forest, but Xuanyuan Che returned to the place where he was standing just now, "Come out!" ”

"Sixth Emperor Brother!" A man in black who had eight or nine points of imagination with Xuanyuan Che jumped down from the tree in front of Xuanyuan Che and stood in front of him.

"Second brother!"

"I call him the second brother outside, but when I get to my father, I have to change my name to the emperor," Xuanyuan Lie saw his younger brother, and there was a rare smile on his face.

"Second brother, Xiliang is dead, and the entire Xiliang royal family has also been buried in the fire. What are you and your father still clinging to? ”

Three years ago, the Northern Desert army invaded the capital of Xiliang, and the royal family of Xiliang saw that the general trend had gone, so they set fire to the imperial city, and the fire burned for three days and three nights.

The world says that it was Gu Tianba who forcibly captured Xuanyuan, the prince of Xiliang, into the palace, and the monarch of Xiliang was eager to save his son, so he mobilized all the troops of Xiliang to approach the capital of Tianyu, and Beimo took advantage of Xiliang's army to attack Tianyu, the country was empty, and invaded Xiliang in a big way, and finally Xiliang was destroyed by Beimo and Tianyu together.

But the fact is that when the monarch of Xiliang heard that Tianyu was short of troops and his combat strength was not enough, he wanted to swallow this Tianyu land, which was half larger than Xiliang. But he suffered from being unknown. Hearing that Gu Tianba, the prince of Tianyuguo, was mediocre and lewd, and extremely good-looking, he actually thought of using the six princes with outstanding appearance and talent as bait to envoy Tianyuguo, Gu Tianba was shocked when he saw Xuanyuan Che, and captured Xuanyuan Che into the East Palace that night.

When the monarch of Xiliang saw Gu Tianba's plan, he invaded Tianyu Kingdom on the grounds of rescuing his beloved son, but he didn't want to, the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, and he was taken advantage of by the Northern Desert to divide Xiliang with the counterattacking Tianyuguo.

The world said that when the Northern Desert army entered the imperial city, the Xiliang royal family burned the entire imperial city with a fire. The monarch of Xiliang and more than a dozen of his sons, including the emperor's eldest grandson, who had only been born for a few days, were burned to death in the fire.

But the world doesn't know that everyone's deaths were planned by the monarch of Xiliang. In order to survive, he did not even let go of his own grandson who had just been born for a few days, and used the death of the entire royal family to cover his escape alone. His actions were indeed hidden from everyone, even the shrewd Northern Desert Emperor Hu Yanzhuo thought that the Xiliang royal family did not want to become a prisoner, and the collective was tragic in front of him*.

But seeing is not necessarily the truth, Xiliang Guojun escaped from the secret passage while everyone was ignited by the fire, crying and wailing.

Let Hu Yanzhuo watch the extermination of the Xiliang royal family with his own eyes, only in this way will he not suspect that Xiliang still has the possibility of a resurgence, and he will not suspect that the monarch of Xiliang is not dead.

In addition to Xuanyuan Che, who was captured into the East Palace by Gu Tianba, and the Xiliang monarch who exchanged all his family's lives for his own escape, there is another person who escaped the catastrophe, and that person is the second prince who strongly opposed the Xiliang monarch to use all the troops to attack Tianyu Kingdom, and was deposed by the monarch of Xiliang and sent to the heavenly prison to be beheaded, Xuanyuan Lie. He is also the biological father of the eldest grandson of the emperor who was burned to death in that fire just a few days after birth.

The Dark Alliance is an organization founded by Xuanyuan Lie by gathering all the secret guards who followed the Xiliang monarch to escape from the sea of fire. Outsiders don't know that the monarch of Xiliang and the abolished prince are still alive, they only know that the dark alliance is related to the Xiliang country, and it is rumored that the owner of the dark alliance is Xuanyuan Che, who was captured by Gu Tianba into the East Palace of Tianyu Kingdom, and was once the best prince of Tianyu Kingdom.

And the monarch of Xiliang also felt that Xuanyuan Che, the sixth prince who was captured by Gu Tianba to Tianyu Kingdom, was his best son, and only Xuanyuan Che could help him restore Xiliang Kingdom and let him sit back on the emperor's throne above the ten thousand people. But Xuanyuan Che has long been disappointed in the father who is ambitious and talented, unscrupulous, greedy for life and afraid of death, and ruthless and unjust, and would rather hide in Tianyu East Palace for the rest of his life than be at his mercy.

As the power of the Dark Alliance became more and more powerful, the monarch of Xiliang felt that he was just around the corner to restore Xiliang, but his best son refused to go back to help him, so he came up with the idea of letting Gu Tianba kill Xuanyuan Che and force Xuanyuan Che to return to him.

Unexpectedly, after Gu Tianba announced that Xuanyuan Che would be beheaded, Xuanyuan Che still refused to leave with the people sent by the Xiliang monarch to pick him up. Xiliang Guojun felt that this son was stubborn, so he let him be sent to the court by Gu Tianba.
