Chapter 8: The Sacrificial Square
Next, Yang Wuzheng sat on the chair, commanding Lu Tie and his party to raid the house, while drinking tea leisurely.
Lu Tie and his entourage of more than 100 people rampaged in the city lord's mansion, making the entire city lord's mansion jump, the female dependents were discolored, and the male Ding Suosuo was trembling.
As for Indifference and Dugong himself, they have been detained by the soldiers one step ahead of time to the sacrificial square to await trial.
"Your Royal Highness, all the stolen goods have been searched. ”
About half an hour, Lu Tie, who was busy rummaging through the cabinets, came back and said: "The last general has turned the city lord's mansion upside down, and has made a preliminary inventory of the treasures that have been scraped out, a total of sixteen boxes of various precious antique porcelain, eight boxes of gold bars, and thirty boxes of silver......
"Give the exact number directly to His Highness. ”
Yang Wuzheng interrupted the other party impatiently.
"The equivalent of cash is roughly close to five million taels of silver, which is enough to pay our 20,000 troops for several years. ”
Lu Tie said this, his face still full of shock and deep hatred.
"Hmph, it seems that His Highness really hasn't wronged this indifference. ”
Yang Wuzheng's eyes showed a trace of cold killing intent, and said: "The time is almost up, go to the sacrificial square with His Royal Highness to see these two old miscellaneous hairs with thousands of knives." ”
With that, he got up murderously and took the lead to leave.
The sacrificial square is not far from the barracks, and the time for a few sticks of incense has arrived.
Although it was night, and the news of the trial indifference and Du's father-in-law had just gone out, even if he was mentally prepared, Yang Wuzheng was still a little shocked when he saw the current scene.
Looking up, under the dim moonlight, there were several football fields-sized sacrificial squares crowded with people, and there were no less than hundreds of thousands of people in the city who came to see the bustle.
There is a stone platform in the center of the sacrificial square, indifferent, and Du Gonggong and several of his henchmen are tied to a wooden shelf, and under the feet of the two, there is a pile of firewood.
"Kill you wolves who eat people and don't spit out bones. ”
"This cold peel has been doing evil in Changping City for so many years, and today it is finally going to be ambushed, the sky has eyes!"
Although there were thousands of soldiers to maintain order, there were still many peddlers and pawns who were indifferent to the city lord and persecuted by Duke Du, crowded forward, picked up stones and sawdust from the ground and threw them at the altar, scolding.
"Changping City is the most marginal city in my Great Xia Territory, and there are less than a million permanent residents in the city, and now at least nearly half of them have come, and it seems that this indifference is really spurned by everyone. ”
Yang Wuzheng sneered, and accompanied by Zhao Yun, he climbed the sacrificial stone platform.
Hundreds of thousands of Li people saw Yang Wuzheng wearing a python robe, and their eyes focused on him, and they subconsciously quieted down.
"The people present, Yang Wuzheng, the third prince of the Great Xia Frontier Kingdom, is in the next place. ”
Yang Wuzheng glanced at the crowd below, and said sincerely: "Indifference is incorruptible in Changping City, and it has been cruel and evil for so many years, and it has only been severely punished today, this long-term negligence is the responsibility of the imperial court, and this prince expresses my most sincere apologies to you on behalf of the imperial court and the royal family." ”
Speaking earnestly, Yang Wuzheng bent down and saluted.
The king continent, the imperial power system, which of the children of the royal family is not high?
This scene suddenly surprised Lu Tie, who was born as a civilian, and a group of generals, and their eyes were almost moist.
"Third Prince, how can you be blamed for this? You have been in Great Xia City for a long time, how can you manage such a marginal matter? Catching the cancer of indifference is already a great help to us. ”
"Third Highness, I heard that today you led your troops out of the city to fight with the Xiliang National Iron Cavalry, bloody battlefield, and you were seriously injured, everything you did for the people of Changping City, we will remember it in our hearts, and we will never forget it for the rest of our lives. ”
"That's right, the prince of this royal family, who is not a pampered golden body, only needs to give orders at the city gate to meet the enemy, and you are not afraid of life and death to face the frontal battle, you are a real hero. ”
On the sacrificial square, hundreds of thousands of Li people praised and gave a thumbs up, and many of the beautiful women of the family threw Yang Wuzheng with a love in their eyes.
"Ding Dong, +100 glory points. ”
"Ding-dong, +130 glory points. ”
"Ding-dong, +150 glory points. ”
The prompts of the system came and went, and Yang Wuzheng smiled.
The reason why he didn't directly kill Indifference and Dugong was to earn a lot of glory points, and now he has got his wish.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is the duty of His Highness to defend the city and protect everyone's safety, and His Highness really can't afford to praise you like this. ”
Yang Wuzheng said modestly: "There are ...... Wrong is wrong, right is right, and now in order to make up for the mistake, His Royal Highness has decided to burn Indifference and Du Gonggong and others to death on the spot, so as to comfort the innocent people who were mutilated by them in the spirit of the sky, what do you think?"
"The Three Highnesses are wise, long live the Three Highnesses!"
Hundreds of thousands of people clapped their hands and cheered, and the shouts came and went, shaking the heavens and the earth.
"Lu Tie, do it!"
Yang Wuzheng said coldly.
"Yang Wuzheng, you disobey the holy decree, even if you can kill the miscellaneous family today, after you go back, the queen and the second prince will definitely not let you go. ”
Du, who was tied up and hung at the stake, raised his cheeks full of dirt and roared with resentment.
"Don't use the queen to pressure me, Your Highness doesn't eat this. ”
Yang Wuzheng said with a sneer.
"Yang Wuzheng, so far, the city lord is no longer hiding, in fact, the city lord has taken refuge in Xiliang State a long time ago, and a few days ago he informed Xiliang Guochang Pingcheng that the defenders of Pingcheng were empty, and the news that the supervisor army and the commander were not in harmony. ”
The city lord said indifferently and hideously: "Now the 100,000 iron hooves of the Xiliang Kingdom are rushing to Changping City non-stop, with 20,000 troops in the city, it can be defended at all, if you know each other, you will immediately release the city lord, maybe there is a glimmer of life,
If you insist on going your own way, when the city is broken, if the army of Xiliang Kingdom learns that the lord of the city is dead, they will definitely slaughter the city, and millions of people in the city will be buried with you at that time......"
"Indifference, do you lie to a child like this, when we are fools?"
Lu Tie raised his slap, shook it unceremoniously, and said with a sneer.
"Report ......"
At this moment, a sentry holding a sword order rushed over in a hurry, knelt in front of Yang Wuzheng, and said: "Your Highness Qiqi, according to the information you just got, the army of Xiliang Kingdom is about to move, and the four armies are encircling our Changping City at a speed of traveling hundreds of miles a day, and the troops will come to the city as soon as tomorrow morning." ”
"What? And how many of these four armies are there?"
Lu Tie frowned and asked urgently.
Now there are only more than 20,000 defenders of Changping City, and there are many injuries that have not healed.
"According to eyeline estimates, the four armies are no less than 20,000, and together with the Xiliang opponent who fought against us before, the number of enemy troops has reached 100,000. ”
The sentry groaned.
"What? 100,000 Xiliang Iron Riders? It's over...... Let's pack up our bags and evacuate Changping City as soon as possible. ”
"Our ancestors have lived in Changping City for generations, where can we run in this hurry?"
There was an uproar at the scene, and hundreds of thousands of people were in danger.
"Yang Wuzheng, now you should believe the words of this city lord, right?"
Tied to the stake of the stake, the indifferent Ji Ji sneered: "This time it is Chu Soul Wuji who commands the 100,000 army of Xiliang Kingdom, this person is like a god with soldiers, and his fierce generals are like clouds, with the strength of Changping City, the city is just around the corner, you let go of the city lord, at least so, on the day of the city break, Chu Soul Wuji will not slaughter the city for the sake of the city lord, and will not slaughter the city and kill millions of innocent people." ”
"How did you hook up with Chu Soul Wuji?"
Yang Wuzheng said with a smile: "Also, if he lets you go and lets you negotiate with Chu Soul Wuji, will he give you face and let the people in the city go?"
"Because the second daughter of this city lord secretly married Chu Soul Wuji three years ago, and now she is his favorite concubine, is this reason enough?"
Said indifferently and proudly: "Yang Wuzheng, you are still too tender, now you have no choice, let go of the city lord, sneak away with your tail between your legs, and maybe save your cheap life." ”
"Old dog, you miscalculated, His Royal Highness is still worried that there is no opponent to train his troops, Chu Soul Wuji came just in time, and His Highness happened to use him to practice. ”
Yang Wuzheng said with a light smile: "Come on, light the torch and burn this old man and the eunuch to death together." ”
"Whoa!"
Several guards standing under the stake with their hands immediately threw the torches on top of the dry wood.
