There were thousands of criminals' families, but there were not so many executioners, and the time passed slowly, counting the rest time, until the afternoon, and barely beheaded all the criminals before the sun set.

Even so, there were very few ordinary people who dispersed, like the ebb and flow of the tide, every time the executioner cut off the head of a nobleman, they had to cheer loudly, the voice changed from clear to hoarse, and one old man even shouted hoarsely, even so, he did not mean to stop, silently opened and closed his mouth, as if thinking of the old past, and his face was full of tears of joy.

Of course, although most people were carried away with excitement, it was not without people who could keep their senses awake, and many scholars watching from a distance frowned, not only watching the beheading, but also gathering useful information, thinking about the meaning of Rod's doing, because they knew that if Rod's daring to do so, there must be someone behind him.

Kant, Rod's mentor, was a little dissatisfied with the fact that Anluo City was bleeding, and was afraid that this would have a negative impact on young men and women. But it's more about pride, pride in Rhodes. At the same time, it also strengthened the belief that for young men and women, the foundation is the most important.

Based on his familiarity with Rhodes, just as the adjutant announced the end of the beheading, Kant immediately noticed that something was wrong.

There were not too many women among the beheaded, only about one-tenth of the total number, and most of the male nobles were conservative in their thinking, and they were often in groups of wives and concubines, and the actual number was certainly far more rare.

The other scholars were a little slower to react, but they noticed the incident later, and they immediately thought of the rumors from the royal capital.

It is said that the king issued a new decree in the royal capital, and the whole city heard it with their own ears.

It's just that these scholars are clever but are mistaken by cleverness, and they don't believe this kind of rumor at all, and they have raised doubts.

As a vested interest, the king would issue such a decree? It's ridiculous, who would let go of a stable life and not enjoy it, so they have to find themselves uncomfortable. And the king speaking to the whole city? Why don't you say that the king sleeps with all the people of the city? Even if it's a rumor, please bring in some logical simulations.

It was only at this time that scholars remembered the rumors, thought of the present, and suddenly hesitated...... Isn't that true?

As if to confirm their suspicions, Rhodes really issued a decree on the spot and read it himself, far beyond the magic of the adjutant, so that Rhodes's voice could be heard clearly out of Anluo City, and even the surrounding villages and towns.

Not only that, Rhodes had already scanned the terrain with the Intelligence Core in advance, and used teleportation to teleport the megaphone to all corners of Stormwind Province, and with the magic connection, Rod's voice also spread throughout Stormwind Province.

After Rod finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment before the women and civilians of Stormwind Province came back to their senses, savored the meaning of Rodes' words, and after hearing Rode's detailed explanation, they suddenly let out an earth-shattering cry.

The cries of the people in the streets and alleys of Anluo City far exceeded the cheers of the nobles when they were slaughtered, and even if their voices were hoarse, they were louder than in the morning, for it was in their vital interests.

Unlike the astonishment of other scholars, Kant's first reaction was joy.

He had heard Rhodes mention it himself, but he didn't believe it. For Kant, the king's words are like farts, which seem loud, but in fact they stink and smell bad, and they are all pit people who go around the bend anyway.

But this time may be really good, even if the king has some purpose, but these two decrees are the fact in front of him, Kant suddenly ignited a flame of excitement in his heart, he was happy for his female students, and finally did not have to watch them give up their studies, but to marry.

As long as there are women who succeed in reaching the top and getting rewarded in this new imperial examination, then shrewd parents who see hope, driven by interests and family affection, will definitely change, and will not force their daughters to marry and force their daughters to study.

A few days later, the bustle of Anluo City still did not cease, and all those who entered the city invariably took a look at the city walls, where thousands of nobles with fearful or hideous expressions hung there, their necks had been stitched up, and their bodies were wrapped in freezing spells, so that they would not rot or be taken by large scavengers.

All the people who walked by, men and women, all held their heads high, without fear or sickness, but could not stop rejoicing, unbeatably happy, and stood in front of the city wall, where a notice was pasted with two new decrees of the king.

Capable and independent people, men and women, are all gearing up to take their first new exams.

At this time, a cute little girl looked at her middle-aged father with a sad face: "Dad, do you think Brother Rod has forgotten us, why don't you come to see Anne after coming back for so many days?" ”

Uncle Jack touched Anne's head, his face was full of melancholy, and he secretly regretted that he didn't keep Rhodes because he was afraid of the sheriff's retribution, but who would have thought that in just half a year, the sheriff was sentenced to death for colluding with bandits, and Rhodes became a nobleman instead.

"Alas......!" Uncle Jack couldn't answer Anne's question at all, the world was unpredictable.

"Hmm~!" Anne's senses were very keen, she could feel her father's mood, and she suddenly became a little sad, is it really impossible to see Brother Rod again?

At this time, there was a sudden commotion at the city gate, a large group of bald and handsome men walked out slowly, and the people who stood in the way automatically separated into a road, and the nimble people had already thought of something, and immediately ran to the front of the crowd with small steps, and suddenly saw the young and tall figure, and their mouths suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Lord Rhodes is out of town!!"

Only then did the people around them react, aren't these bald handsome guys just Lord Rod's summons, the crowd surged forward, kneeling down in unison, even so, they also stretched their heads hard, wanting to see Rod's appearance.

Uncle Jack was in a trance for a while, with obvious frustration on his face, and his body instinctively knelt down with the people around him, but at this moment, his hand suddenly loosened, and he was actually broken free by Anne without grasping it.

I saw that in the crowd around her, Anne stood pretty, and after seeing Rod's familiar figure, she cheered and rushed through the crowd: "Brother Rod! ”

Anne passed between the battle golems at once, and Uncle Jack was too late to stop him, and his face turned pale in an instant. Thinking that it was over, I wanted to get up and ask for forgiveness for Anne's offense, but I only felt that my legs were heavy as if they had been injected with lead, and I couldn't stand up at all.

Rod and Kant stood together, looking at the people who fell to the ground with a headache, and just wanted to get them up, but they saw a pretty figure rushing over, and shouting his name, isn't it Anne who else could be, Rhodes was overjoyed to catch Anne who almost fell, and what made him even happier was that Anne was still the same as half a year ago, her feelings for him had not changed, and she was still so sincere.

"Little Annie, I haven't seen her for half a year, and she has become a lot more beautiful." Rod rubbed Anne's little face vigorously.

"Brother Rhodes is bad, it's been so long since he came back, and he hasn't come back to see Annie, huh." Anne snorted in feigned anger, hugged Rhodes tightly with both hands, and after a moment could not hold back any longer, revealing a big smile and a pleasant giggle.
