Chapter 50: Next Time It's Time to Change the Sword
There were corpses all over the ground, and Zhao Kai stood there with a long sword, as if he had descended from the killing god at this moment.
"You can't kill me, you can't kill me" Xiao Wang's daughter-in-law, Xiaojuan, saw Zhao Kai's appearance at this time, thinking of the tragic ending of those Qing soldiers, and suddenly screamed like crazy.
And the little king was even more unbearable when he saw such a bloody scene, only to see him trembling all over, and he was also begging for mercy with nonsense. Seeing Xiao Wang's cowardly performance, Zhao Kai finally understood why the old village chief died, but Xiao Wang, as the head of the family, was so cowardly and incompetent, allowing a fierce woman to run the house, Zuihou could only end up with a broken family.
"I knew why I had to do it today." Zhao Kai put away the long sword in his hand and walked in front of Xiao Juan. A crisp "click" sound directly crushed Xiaojuan's throat. With a "plop", Xiaojuan opened her eyes wide, fell to the ground, and couldn't get up again.
After that, Zhao Kai glanced at Xiao Wang again, ignored it, and walked away.
There are still six days left before the day of Yi'er's execution, Zhao Kai is not in a hurry, since the notice has already said so, Zhang Zhao Chongding just wants to use Yi'er as bait, and he will not hurt her life before the execution. Hangzhou's cell is heavily guarded, and at this time, he must have prepared a net waiting for him to go, although Zhao Kai is not afraid, but if he harms Yi'er because of his mistake at that time, I am afraid that he will regret it for the rest of his life. Therefore, Zhao Kai prepared to wait, on the day of the execution, there must be a lot of people watching from the sidelines, and it would be easy to cause chaos in the legal field at that time, and he would be more sure.
After Zhao Kai arrived in Hangzhou City, he hid until the morning of the seventh day. The place of execution was set in an open space by the West Lake.
As soon as it was dawn that day, several servants had already arrived in the open space on the edge of the West Lake and began to clean the Dharma field. And Zhang Zhaozhong was already waiting in front of the prison door with soldiers and executioners, and there were about 500 people at a glance.
"My lord, did you say that the playboy and the thieves of the Red Flower Society are back today?" One of the commanders, dressed as an officer, walked up to Zhang Zhaozhong and bowed down and asked.
"The group of thieves from the Red Flower Society will definitely come, but I originally thought that this Yuan playboy would not dare to come anyway, but after the news came from Wangjia Village a few days ago, I thought that this Yuan playboy Zhao Kai would definitely come. This time, though, it's the same for everyone, haha. Speaking of zuihou, Zhang Zhaozhong couldn't help but daxiao proudly.
"Your Excellency is wise." The officer commander immediately echoed flatteringly.
Let's turn our gaze to the other side. The leaders of the Red Flower Society were already gathered in Hangzhou City at this time.
"Chief helmsman, the West Lake is full of Qing soldiers, including the battalions of the Royal Forest Army." Zhao Banshan walked to the middle of the crowd and said in a low voice.
The serious illness guarding the law field was already expected by everyone, so Chen Jialuo nodded and asked, "How many people are there?" ”
At this time, Wen Tai, who was standing on the side, replied: "There are always seven or eight thousand people, and the soldiers of the banner battalion who responded to the periphery are not counted. ”
Chen Jialuo instructed: "You immediately go and gather the brothers outside Hangzhou City, gather by the lake and wait, but don't let the government notice, everyone has a red flower hidden on their bodies." Wen Tailai nodded in response. Chen Jialuo felt uneasy, and asked again: "Time is running out, how many people can be summoned soon?" ”
Wen Tailai thought for a while and replied: "Now there are about two thousand people who can come over immediately, and in another hour, when the brothers outside the city arrive, there will be more than a thousand people." Hearing this, Chen Jialuo finally put his mind at ease and said: "Our brothers are at least one for five, three thousand people are worth 15,000 Qing soldiers, and the number is enough, besides, there are our brothers in the green camp, you go and arrange it." "Wen Tailai took the order to gather the people.
And our protagonist Zhao Kai is not going anywhere at the moment, thinking about nothing, just sitting quietly on an eaves, holding a white cloth and quietly wiping the sword in his hand. If you look closely, you can also find that Zhao Kai is constantly muttering something in his mouth.
"Alas, when will I have to find a good sword again, I don't know how many people will be killed later, this sword is afraid that it will be cut into a curly blade."
The sky is always very hazy in early winter, with thick clouds piling up in the air as if they would collapse at any moment, and occasionally a cold wind blows, making people shiver.
Cheng Yi was wearing shackles, and at this time, he had already been escorted by Zhang Zhaozhong to the open space on the edge of the West Lake, where the court had already been set up.
There were a lot of onlookers on the edge of the court, and a group of jugglers in the east forced them to squeeze into the court, but the soldiers refused to let them, so they quarreled. This place was making a lot of noise, and a group of beggars in the west insisted on squeezing into the Dharma field for some reason, and suddenly heard the soldiers screaming, and it was completely chaotic.
In the chaos, I saw that more than a dozen Qing soldiers were wounded in the chest by the blades, and I don't know how they died. Suddenly, there was another fire in the south, and shouts were heard from all sides. Zhang Zhao ordered all the guards to only guard Cheng Yi and ignore all idle matters, in case they fell into the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. But the fire burned bigger and bigger, and a military commander rushed in and shouted: "It's the thief of the Red Flower Society!" I have already started with the brothers. Zhang Zhaozhong said: "Hehe, they came just right, they can't come and go, by the way, is that Yuan playboy here?" ”
As soon as Zhang Zhaozhong's words fell, a soldier ran up from the crowd, only to see his footsteps staggering, his face full of horror, as if he had seen hell on earth.
"What's the panic, Lord Zhang is here, don't be rude!" When the officer saw that his subordinates looked lost and depressed, he suddenly felt that he was disgraced, and he shouted a loud reprimand.
"No, no, no, no, it's not good, the north, the north" The soldier was obviously frightened, and his speech was stammered and indistinct.
"Well, what's up to the north." Zhang Zhaozhong stepped forward, pressed the soldier's shoulders with both hands, and said.
"Zhang, Lord Zhang, there is a devil in the north, one person, he has killed more than a hundred of our brothers by himself." was pressed by Zhang Zhaozhong like this, and the soldier was finally able to say it completely.
"Alone? Who is it? Although Zhang Zhao already had an answer in his heart, he couldn't help but ask.
"It's the man in the portrait that the adults showed us."
"Yuan Dude, Zhao Kai, you are really here, haha." Zhang Zhaozhong suddenly became daxiao. "By the way, your companions are dead, why did you run back?"
"I, I"
"The weak don't deserve to live on this shijie, since they are all dead, you can also go down to accompany them."
With only a "click", the poor little soldier's throat was completely crushed, and he died no more.
