Chapter 132: The Sheep Enters the Tiger's Mouth
That is, on the day when the prime minister is about to be beheaded today, the forbidden army has already blocked the main street and road, and the five steps and one guard separate the people from the surrounding onlookers.
This dynasty is quite beheaded in the street, and this head will be hung to show the public in order to set an example, and intimidate everyone not to rebel against this person, what should be the end.
The crowd of onlookers chatted on both sides of the street, but there were also some people with serious expressions and people dressed as ordinary people mixed in the crowd.
The windows on the second floor of the teahouse inns on both sides of the main street are open to give the best viewing angle for the gentry who have fun after tea and dinner.
After all, this execution was also the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Naturally, the second floor was also arranged with the members of the White Eagle Gang so that they could respond to the actions of the secret guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and everyone was waiting for the prisoner car to drive across the main street at this time.
The prisoner cart drove forward slowly, and even Wen Yunxiang was no longer qualified to send his grandfather on his last ride, after all, it was the two of them who caused the entire Ming Imperial City to fall into a state of unrest.
At that time, the garrison of the imperial city was empty, and every household levied young men into the army, and the people in the imperial city were panicking, and the culprit was the prime minister who was imprisoned in the prison car at this time.
Some of the onlookers were filled with righteous indignation, hating him for turning such a stable and stable country upside down, and they couldn't get angry for a while, and smashed the eggs in their hands and the vegetable leaves in the basket at the people in the prisoner car.
The prime minister looked blankly ahead in the prison car, his expression was not the slightest abnormal, and he had no idea that Thrush and the guards were secretly plotting to rescue him.
At this time, less than a mile away from the execution site, dozens of fireworks suddenly rose into the air in front of the main street, accompanied by 10,000 firecrackers at the same time.
Even the people subconsciously blocked their ears with their hands, not to mention that the horses in the march suddenly raised their front two hooves, and the horse's head swayed from side to side, trying to break free from the control of the reins.
The entire escort team immediately became chaotic.
At this moment, many black-clad masked people flew down from the second floor of the attic on both sides of the street, and the crowd on the street also panicked, which made the scene even more chaotic.
The masked man's purpose was very clear, and when he flew down from the second floor, he took out the dart and weapon he was equipped with, and struck the center of the guard's eyebrows.
When he was defenseless, the guards next to the prime minister's prisoner car fell one after another.
The prime minister's eyes widened with excitement, and he held the door of the prisoner car with both hands, although he had already prepared for the worst, it was just a helpless move.
If there is a chance of life in front of him, how can he let go.
It's just that he slightly wanted to look out to find out who this passerby was.
The group of black-clothed men quickly dealt with the guards next to the prisoner cart, and the two took out their swords and split the iron chain tied to the door of the prisoner cart, and helped the prime minister out of the prisoner cart.
The rest of the men in black were still fending off the guards as they approached the prisoner van
"Go first, according to the line commanded."
The two men in black carried the prime minister's feet lightly, and flew to the eaves of the second floor with the force of the top of the prisoner cart.
At first glance, you know that he is a master of light skills.
The prime minister looked at the two people on the left and right, who were not his secret guards, and an ominous premonition arose inexplicably in his heart, and asked a little tentatively
"Where are you taking me?"
The two people around them were silent, but there was no sign of slowing down under their feet.
Seeing that the two were silent, the prime minister was shocked and wanted to break free, but found that he couldn't move at all when he was restrained by the two, not to mention that the shackles that came out of the prisoner car had not been unfastened.
The two of them walked quickly, and in a short time they shook off the guards who followed them, and the group of black-clothed men who had stopped the guards from chasing them, seeing that they had escaped, ordered them to withdraw quickly, in case the garrison of the city arrived and it was difficult for them to escape.
The prime minister was taken to a dilapidated courtyard in the middle of the imperial city, like a place where no one would normally set foot at all.
The thrush on the other side has been waiting at the fork in the road for a long time, and his heart is becoming more and more uneasy.
The thrush sent someone to investigate, and in the current situation, no one dared to act rashly.
The prime minister was thrown to the ground by the two and looked at the two in horror
"What the hell do you want to do, I'm a dying man, what's the use of you."
The two remained silent, so that the prime minister could not understand their intentions.
The sound of clapping hands came from the courtyard, attracting the prime minister's attention.
There were two young men inside, one was as weak as a scholar but his eyebrows were solemn, and the other was mysterious with a silver mask.
The prime minister recognized that the person in front of him was Zhong Litian at that time.
His eyes immediately widened a little, this Zhong Litian and his hatred were incomprehensible, and he was afraid that falling into his hands was even more uncomfortable than death.
"Prime Minister, we haven't seen each other for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be here today."
Zhong Litian looked at the prime minister with a smile, and despite the smile on his face, he still gave people a chilling sense of slaughter.
"If you want revenge, do it."
The prime minister closed his eyes and spread out on the ground, looking at death as if he were at home.
A cluster of flames rose in Zhong Litian's eyes, and he pulled out the sword of a man in black and wanted to stab it.
But he was blocked by the other hand
"In this way, this person has been solved, isn't it a pity that you have been in vain all these years."
It was the man with the silver mask next to him who spoke.
The prime minister thought that he would definitely die just now, so he couldn't help but open his eyes and look at the masked man.
The attention just now was all attracted by Zhong Litian, but he didn't realize that this person was actually Qingxuan.
It is rumored that Qingxuan has always worn a mask and never showed his true face, and he also saw this person with his own eyes at that flower viewing banquet.
He secretly checked this Qingxuan for a long time, but this person seemed to have been erased from all information, like a person jumping out of a stone, and he was repeatedly unsuccessful.
"Brother Zhong, there are some things I want to ask this person about, I don't know if I can borrow a moment from Qingxuan."
Zhongli Angel's own mind calmed down a little, and he said to Qingxuan
"Where is the son of Qing Xuan, but he is ...... down"
Qing Xuan stretched out his hand to interrupt Zhong Litian's ongoing conversation.
Zhong Litian waved his hand, motioning for the two black-clothed men to step aside with him.
Zhong Litian was still a little curious, judging from the prime minister's reaction just now, the two seemed to have never known each other, so what did Qing Xuan want to ask, anyway, Qing Xuan was a mystery.
Zhong Litian, who was too far away, was also a decent gentleman, and he didn't hear any conversation between the two, but he saw the prime minister's shocked expression, which was never shown in front of him.
"Who the hell are you?"
The prime minister's voice was trembling.
