Zheng Hesheng didn't dare to disobey the king's order, but he didn't want Kong Rong to be punished so decently, so he gestured to Sowo who was in the chariot. After Sowo understood, Chaozong Taiji, who was a little impatient, shouted: "Why do you need to be so verbose to kill a prisoner, quickly behead us so that we can leave." ”

Zong Taiji finally set his eyes on Sowo, staring at Sowo's eyes that seemed to be like knives, and said coldly: "No matter how much you say, believe it or not, I don't have any scum left in the people of Pilu?" ”

Sovo and the others did not doubt that these tens of thousands of emotional people would act excessively, so they did not dare to say more, and they were stunned and stopped talking in the car.

"Why hasn't Captain Ting announced it yet? Do you want to be the first to sacrifice Kong Rong alive? Lone may pardon your first living sacrifice. ”

Zheng He, who was still stunned, showed a touch of heaviness when he ascended, and said loudly: "Kong Rong Shangqing is so loved by the people, the minister sighed for a while, so he announced." Then he turned around and announced in a loud voice, "Spread the king's will, and allow the people to sacrifice Kong Rong alive." ”

Zong Taiji glanced at Zheng Hesheng with contempt, and there was a kind of nausea like eating flies in his heart, and secretly said Zheng Hesheng, Zheng Hesheng, after Gu weakens you one by one, he will definitely tear you to death one by one.

As soon as Zheng Hesheng's words fell, dozens of representatives of the people carried the whole cattle, sheep and pigs that had been killed and cleaned up with wooden planks to the execution platform, looked at their beloved Kong Rong, and after placing the sacrifices, they knelt down in the mud and kowtowed one after another.

The hair was bumped into the mud, obscuring its face, but none of them wiped it with their hands. Then, in the midst of dozens of people kowtowing one after another, another group of people came to the front of the torture platform and blew the bamboo pipe, and the sound of whimpering and whimpering spread.

The sound of whimpering, the heavy rain, the river beach, the heroes, the endless sorrow of the people, the rumbling sound of thunder and thunder resounded in harmony between heaven and earth, playing a heavy and sad send-off song.

Harmonizing with the rhythm, tens of thousands of people sang in unison:

Kong Rong Kong Rong, the saint of all peoples.

Caring for the people and generously giving their lives.

The third god of heaven, bless my life.

All the people ask for their lives: Kong Shenglie Immortal Cao, please ask the Emperor Lie to go down to the sky.

Kong Rong stood in the rain, staring at the true feelings of the people below, his eyes were already full of tears, and once they flowed out of the corners of his eyes, they were swallowed by the rain and fell on the cold torture platform under his feet.

After the first wave of people worshipped, a group of people dressed in plain clothes immediately came, wearing linen and filial piety, and came with solid steps. After Zheng Hesheng saw this group of people clearly, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and a deep contempt appeared on his face.

This group of people turned out to be the national lieutenant Meng Zhong, followed by a group of ministers who were good friends with Kong Rong on weekdays. They came to worship Zheng Hesheng and were not very angry, but they were angry that they actually wore linen and filial piety for Zheng Hesheng.

Born as a military general in the Mengzhong Kingdom, he has been killing the battlefield for decades, and he has long looked down on the life and death of people. However, looking at Kong Rong's face that was about to turn into a memory today, tears soaked his eyes, and he whimpered and said loudly: "Kong Rong Shangqing, Meng Chong is here to see you off." So far, I have not admired a few people, you Kong Rong Shangqing is the leader, today Mengzhong is willing to wear linen and filial piety for you, I hope you will not forget my best friend under Jiuquan. ”

Kong Rong smiled and nodded, "Captain, the old man will take the first step, prepare a banquet below, and have a drink with you when you come." ”

"Okay, okay, you have to wait for me......"

Meng Zhong took the lead in kneeling, kowtowed three times, and then cried loudly.

The burly figure seemed to have lost all its strength, and was finally helped up by his entourage, and reluctantly left the scene.

Zheng Hesheng saw that Meng Zhong was taken away, so he scanned his eyes in the sea of people, he was looking for a suspicious target. Before coming today, he had already arranged for all the elites of the Tingwei Mansion to ambush here in advance, and if Zong Wusheng and the others dared to come, they would definitely be allowed to come and not return.

However, Zheng Hesheng was very disappointed, he had already scanned many times, and he did not find any suspicious characters at all, and he was a little unwilling in his heart: they would definitely come, Kong Rong was executed for such an important matter, if they didn't come, it would really go against common sense.

Zong Wusheng and the others had already come, they were hidden in the crowd, they were all wearing the same coarse linen clothes as the people, not to mention that they were simply disguised, and it was difficult to be found in the crowd.

Kong Ao and Kong Qi saw that Kong Rong was so loved by the people, they did not grieve, but had a sense of pride in their hearts, Kong Qi suddenly said to Kong Ao: "Dad, the sins committed by the child before are unforgivable, although you have severed the father-son relationship with the child, but the broken bones are connected to the tendons, and your blood flows in my veins." Today, I have decided to be a man who stands up to the sky, please allow me to accompany my grandfather's funeral, so that he will not be lonely under the nine springs. ”

Hearing this, Kong Ao couldn't help but shed tears. Although Kong Qi betrayed Shuangyu Village and let Zheng Wujian go without permission, and some time ago caused the tragedy of inciting the people to hand over food, he was his own child after all. In Lishi Fortress, Kong Ao threatened to sever the father-son relationship with Kong Qi, but can the father-son relationship really be severed?

Kong Qi looked at his father, who wanted to speak and stopped, knelt down in the crowd, kowtowed a few times to Kong Ao, and said to Zong Wusheng regardless of what Kong Ao said: "Alliance leader, Kong Qi will go to wash away his previous sins today, and please take care of my father for my good life for the sake of our acquaintance in the future." ”

Zong Wusheng didn't speak, he could understand Kong Qi's feelings at this time, the mistakes he made a few days ago had been suppressing his heart, if he didn't let him wash away those sins, he might live in self-blame in this life.

Kong Qi had made up his mind, he didn't plan to listen to the opinions of his father and Zong Wusheng, what he said just now was obviously to say goodbye. Kong Ao quickly thought of the words in his mind, and after seeing the child with a determined face, he held back.

"Daddy, I'll go with my grandfather first, and we'll be father and son in the next life." At this point, he turned his head to look at Zong Wusheng, and said with his hands clasped into his fists: "Alliance leader, you are the most admired person in my life, I believe that one day you will eventually become the master of the world, and Kong Qi will wave the flag and shout for you under the Nine Springs." ”

Kong Qi couldn't cry in the end, didn't dare to delay any longer, suddenly turned around and squeezed towards the front of the crowd, Kong Ao looked at the child who disappeared into the crowd, and muttered: "Daddy has forgiven you, from this moment on, you will be Daddy's pride." ”

"Patriarch Kong should not be sad, he should be happy for Kong Qi, he also did this to relieve himself, those sins committed, many people who died for him, after he made this choice, there is no debt to each other."

The living sacrifice was nearing its end, and Zheng Hesheng had already begun to ask for the execution.

Although Zong Taiji didn't want to kill Kong Rong, it was already difficult to ride a tiger at this time, so he had to nod slightly and order the execution to begin.

At this moment, a person came out of the crowd and said in a loud voice: "Wait a minute, I still have to worship grandpa." ”

Zheng Hesheng turned his head suddenly, and when he saw that it was Kong Qi, he immediately shouted an order, "Catch him for me!" ”

"There's no need to bother Tingwei, since I'm here, I don't plan to leave."

While speaking, Kong Qi jumped onto the torture platform on his own and came to his grandfather with his head held high. Kong Rong seemed to know what Kong Qi was going to do, so he didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile.

Kong Qi came to his grandfather's side, and after kowtowing to his grandfather a few times, he said: "Grandpa, my grandson instigated the people to rebel before, causing tens of thousands of deaths. ”

Kong Rong still smiled and asked, "You don't regret it?" ”

"No regrets!"

"Okay." Kong Rong took his grandson's hand, "Our Kong family should be like this, you are a good grandson of grandpa." ”

While the two were talking, Zheng Hesheng scolded coldly, "Kong Qi, where is your fellow party sect Wusheng?" If you don't tell the truth, I will let you lay your body on the spot today! ”

"Lord Tingwei, I originally came to atone for the sins of the people who died some time ago, why do you need to do it? According to the laws of the imperial kingdom, if I, Kong Qi, blink an eye, I am not worthy of being a son of the Kong family! ”

Zheng Hesheng wanted to say something more, Zong Taiji scolded coldly: "Zheng Hesheng, since the culprit in the case of inciting the people to rebel surrendered, please be ordered to die today, don't delay any longer, and order it to be executed!" ”

"But ......"

Before Zheng Hesheng finished speaking, Zong Taiji's cold eyes came, Zheng Hesheng immediately retracted what he wanted to say, turned around angrily, and announced loudly, "Execution!" ”

The execution order was given, and two stout executioners wearing hideous masks and holding ghost-headed broadswords, shirtless, slowly came behind Kong Rong and Kong Qi, and stood behind them. One of the executioners whispered: "Shangqing, I will definitely let you not feel pain, you go all the way." ”

Kong Rong smiled slightly, and slowly knelt down on his knees.

Kong Qi also had a smile on his face at this time, knelt on the ground, and shouted in a high-pitched voice towards the sea of people in front of him: "Within thirty years, the world will change hands, and the people of Li will usher in a prosperous era, look forward to it——"

"Hugh is to instigate, to execute—"

Zheng Hesheng shouted again, and the two executioners behind him raised the ghost head knife in their hands above their heads, and suddenly increased their strength, quickly slashing towards the necks of Kong Rong's grandfather and grandson.

The ghost-headed knife slashed from his neck, and two smiling heads rolled to the ground, and the two pairs of eyes watched each other blink a few times before slowly closing.

Suddenly, it seemed that the heavens and the earth were cracking, the thunder in the air was rolling down, and the heavy rain was pouring down like the water of the Milky Way.

For a time, the rootless river was flooded with turbulent waves, and the waves of the water rose three or five feet high, churning and roaring in the river.

The people shouted one after another, and they saw off Kong Rong in this way.

Zong Taiji took advantage of the heavy rain to pour out the tears that had been deposited in his eyes for a long time, and whispered: "Shangqing, Lone will see you off, go all the way!" Your revenge, Lone will avenge you with his own hands. ”

Quietly, the envoys of the five countries wanted to take advantage of the chaos on the scene to slip away, and Zong Taiji shouted: "If you don't sign the certificate, don't even think about leaving!" ”
