Chapter 426: Windfall from the Sky
Early in the morning, Ji Nanrou climbed the city tower and looked at Li Qingqing. The time of execution was set at noon, and Li Guiren had been tortured by a heavy rain, hanging his head, half dead.
The rain fell all night and did not stop until dawn. If it goes down again, the stake will have to be stopped, and it can be seen that even the heavens want to accept this Li Guiren.
Ji Nanrou looked around the square again, the night was calm, no suspicious people appeared, she couldn't help but sigh to herself: "Some people are really calm." ”
Imperial.
Ei wandered anxiously in his dormitory. The sun climbed higher and higher, and it was almost noon, but he couldn't even get out of the palace gate, and he was helpless to save people. He was afraid that Li Qingqing would die, and he was even more worried that the villain would save Li Qingqing regardless of his own safety.
Imperial Physician Wan came in from outside and bowed his hand, "Your Highness." ”
"How is Aqing?"
"Your Highness, rest assured, he only suffered a skin injury, not a broken muscle or bone, and he can be healed after a few days of rest."
Jiang Rong didn't forget to ask: "What about my father, when will he wake up?" ”
Imperial Physician Wan lowered his eyes, and his words became hesitant, "This ...... The minister can't say for sure, but the minister will do his best to heal His Majesty. ”
Jiang Rong walked up to Imperial Physician Wan and asked seriously: "Imperial Physician Wan, you tell me the truth, my father had a stroke, is it really because he is angry?" ”
Imperial Physician Wan's head was buried lower, and he still maintained a saluting posture, and said, "Back to Your Highness, is it...... Oh, yes. ”
Jiang Rong beckoned the imperial doctor to retreat, and secretly sighed, with his current situation of no power and no power, who would be willing to tell him the truth.
In the west of the city, firewood for the execution had been prepared, and several forbidden soldiers surrounded Li Qingqing, spreading firewood as they walked.
Li Qingqing hung her head, her loose hair blocked her face, no matter what noise was around, no one reacted at all, and the clothes on her body were soaked by the rain and had not dried yet.
There are more and more people watching in the square, several times more than yesterday.
It is not uncommon for the government to execute people in the West Market, but it is the first time to kill the imperial concubine, and this rare thing is enough to attract the people of Shangjing to join in the fun, and the entire West Market Square has become a sea of people.
There is also a wooden platform on the square, on which is supported by a pergola, and three desks are placed.
When it was almost noon, Wei Guogong and the two royal nobles boarded the wooden platform and sat down behind the desk, but the middle table did not belong to the prince surnamed Jiang.
Wei Guogong sat in the main seat and looked at the crowd in the square. There was less than half an hour left before the execution, and Mei Xiaoren or the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion did not show up again, and although Li Qingqing, whom he bothered to capture, was sure to die, he would die a worthless death.
Li Qingqing was not captured in the hidden platform before, which has made half of his plan fall through, if Li Qingqing dies without anyone from the Prime Minister's Mansion to save him, then this move will be completely in vain.
Time passed, and the Forbidden Army had lit the torches. The crowd that had been talking gradually quieted down, and the people began to wait with bated breath, and some people even crowded forward, wanting to get closer to see the excitement.
The clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the sun shone through the clouds on the West Market Square. Today is a rare good weather.
Wei Guogong looked at the sky, took out the arrow from the wooden tube on the table, and threw it out while ordering: "The time is coming, execution!" ”
The guards walked up to the stone platform with torches and lit the firewood on the platform in full view of everyone.
The crowd exploded all at once, and there was even some people clapping their hands.
When the heat wave hit, Li Qingqing frowned uncomfortably. She looked up, her vision blocked by the raging fire, separating life from death.
From the moment she stepped into the palace gate, this life was destined to have no good results, and death was a relief for her......
The flames spat out tongues of fire and attacked her, and the audience was full of voices, and the people shouted "Long live my emperor, burn the demon girl"!
Li Qingqing didn't have the slightest strength in his body, and he mustered up enough strength before he smiled and said: "Goodbye, the Metropolitan Governor ......."
When everyone was furious, a black-clothed figure jumped down in the air, jumped straight into the circle of fire, swept the fast sword in his hand, and the rope that bound Li Qingqing exploded in an instant.
Li Qingqing lost his restraints and support, and his extremely weak body gradually slid down, and he was soon supported by a force.
"Girl."
Li Qingqing's eyes opened a slit, and what she saw was a masked man in black, only a pair of eyes were exposed, but she recognized these eyes, so she was not half happy, but pushed him with all her might, and shouted in a dumb voice: "You go!" ”
She doesn't want him to save her, she doesn't want him to fall into the net!
"Someone, catch him!"
Liuyue only heard Wei Guogong ordering, and did not see the forbidden army approaching, he and Li Qingqing were surrounded by flames, this was the best barrier, but it could only protect them for a while.
He put Li Qingqing's arm on his shoulder and tightened his waist tightly, but with the weight on his body, no matter how good the light skill was, he couldn't perform it. He took her and jumped out of the ring of fire with great difficulty, and was immediately surrounded by the Forbidden Legion that rushed up.
Liuyue held Li Qingqing in one hand, and held a sword in the other hand to fight with the forbidden army that rushed up. Even if he only has one hand, these forbidden troops may not have the upper hand.
However, the forbidden army under the stage is constantly gathering and hitting the high platform like a tide...... Outnumbered......
The fight on the stage was hot, and the onlookers in the audience were not affected by the fight, because they stood far away, and after someone robbed the law field, they were driven back by the soldiers, but they still gathered around to watch the excitement.
Suddenly, I don't know who shouted: "Pick up the silver!" ”
When they looked up, they saw countless pieces of silver falling from the sky, raining down on the place where the fight was fighting.
It was a white piece of silver, and when it fell in front of the civilians, it was like a spark falling into a pile of artillery, and it caused a commotion among the crowd at once.
The people flocked to break through the human wall surrounded by the forbidden army, and rushed to loot the silver scattered on the ground, adding chaos to the already chaotic scene.
In addition to the people in the crowd who were constantly throwing silver, there were also several men in cloth who jumped up, stepped on people's shoulders and turned onto the high platform, and drew their swords with the forbidden army, helping Liuyue to help.
Seeing this, Wei Guogong frowned deeply. The mixing of the people has made the scene out of control, and now there are a few more helpers with strong martial arts......
On the city tower, Ji Nanrou also frowned.
She kept looking down, looking for the man, but she never found any trace of him. She thought that Mei Xiaoren had become hard-hearted and would not come to save Li Qingqing, but who knew that suddenly someone would come to rob the law field, and there was a ......
I heard that Mei Xiaoren is the daughter of a giant, never treat silver as silver, the last time Daning and Xia Guo fought, she used Xia Guo's coins to induce Xia soldiers to abandon the battle and pick up money, although it sounded ridiculous, but it did solve the danger of the soldiers coming to the city, so that Daning won the battle.
This matter has been widely known, and now the old trick is repeated, who is it not Mei Xiaoren who is behind the manipulation?
