Chapter 391: Keeping People Under the Axe
Wushan people (Wucheng) are almost unique in height, it is easy for people to remember at a glance, and many people know that he is the sworn brother of the two generals of Hu'an Mountain, Gu Menglong and Tutian Ruler, seeing that he is going to be beheaded, someone has already rushed to inform the Hu'an Mountain big tribe of the boat master general Tutian Ruler.
Tu Tianqi was shocked when he heard this, and on the one hand, he rushed to save people, and on the other hand, he urgently asked Menglong and Pu Yancang to save people.
Mu Mangzi was asking for advice on the Five Dragons Sword Technique in the tent of the Heavenly Ruler, and when he heard the news, he was so frightened that his face was like earth, and he threw down the imitation Five Dragon Sword in his hand and hurriedly followed.
As soon as he arrived under a few pine trees in front of Ba Xiu's tent, he saw several steaming human heads and corpses on the ground.
One of the executioners' upper body was stained with bright red, and the axe was swaying from side to side in his hand, and he was about to attack Wucheng, and two other executioners who had just finished their execution stood a few steps away and watched.
It turned out that the three executioners were interesting, cutting them down in turn from short to tall, and finally it was Wucheng's turn.
Tu Tianqi shouted: "Leave people under the axe!"
When the executioner saw that the famous "living ghost" Tutian ruler was coming, he paused the execution and smiled at Wu Cheng: "You will suffer more crimes." ”
Wu Cheng said: "Don't listen to Scarface's fake feelings, don't tremble your hands, be sharp!"
The executioner scolded: "People come to save you with good intentions, and there is not a word from anyone!"
Tutian didn't have time to come over to see the life and death of Wucheng, and was about to enter the account, but Menglong and Pu Yancang were panicked at a faster speed, and when they saw that the head of Wucheng was still there, they didn't care about him, and went into the account to ask to see the same general Ba Xiu.
Mu Mangzi glanced at Wu Cheng and hurriedly followed.
Ba Xiu sat still and didn't move, and when he saw these people coming in, he said, "A few people don't open their mouths!"
Meng Long Shi Li said: "General, the people of Wushan must not be killed, and he will enter the Pangu Cave with us." ”
Ba Xiu said coldly: "I have heard about you entering the monster cave to get the sword. However, this person will be killed! Military order is one, Mount Tai moves! At this critical juncture of life and death, these people actually ignored strict orders, left the barracks without permission, and secretly drank and got drunk. If all the soldiers follow suit, will Yucheng still not be lost? Pakistan will not die! I have made up my mind, and there is no need to say anything more!"
Tutian ruler said: "After beheading this person, how can the Five Dragons Sword get the law?"
Ba Xiu said: "This is simple, behead the Wushan people, disembowelment to take the pearl, your samurai are many, choose one more person to swallow the pearl." Otherwise, you can choose anyone with strong martial arts skills in the whole army, and you will choose whoever you like, and you will not delay the important matter of obtaining the sword!"
Pu Yancang said: "General, when employing people now, don't destroy the city wall!"
Ba Xiu sneered: "Nobody, what kind of city wall is it? At most, it is a wall stone!"
Pu Yancang said again: "A thousand magpies are easy to obtain, but an osprey is hard to find, so I beg the general's subordinates to show mercy." ”
This time, Ba Xiu didn't immediately refute, but his face was still pale.
Tutian ruler said: "There are five of us, righteous brothers, living and dying together, begging the general to spare his life." If you want to die, let him die on the battlefield. ”
Ba Xiu's face was solemn and he didn't say a word again.
The three of them were so anxious that they couldn't find the right language to plead for a while, so they thought as quickly as they could about how to plead again.
Mu Mangzi looked at Ba Xiu's face, knew that something was wrong, and was already shocked into a cold sweat, thinking that this group of Ba people had done everything, and they couldn't take their heads, no matter what, it was important to save Wucheng's life first.
As the saying goes: Wisdom arises from urgency, Mu Mangzi was in a hurry, and suddenly thought of a way, stepped forward and said: "General, the people of Wushan must not be killed, the pavilion is in his hands!"
The place name "Tingziguan" is like a tie to the tip of every general's heart, as soon as these words came out, Ba Xiu and Yu Menglong, together with several guards who followed up, were taken aback.
Ba Xiu was angry, and only then did he look up and see that there was a person who came with him who he didn't know, and said, "Who are you?"
Gu Menglong said: "He is Mu Mangzi, the fourth of our five brothers. ”
Ba Xiu saw that Mu Mangzi's face was a little delicate, not the usual image of a samurai, five big and three thick, and did not speak;
Mu Mangzi said: "I beg for permission to say a few words privately with the general." ”
Ba Xiu waved his hand, and the three of Menglong, as well as a few guards standing on the side, all retreated.
Mu Mangzi said something to Ba Xiu, Ba Xiu was overjoyed, jumped up, and shouted, "Someone!"
A guard entered the tent, and Mu Mangzi gave a salute and went out of the tent, sweating profusely.
After a while, the guard came out and ordered the Wushan people to be released, and the heads of the remaining six people were sent to the battalions.
Yu Menglong took a few steps forward and asked Mu Mangzi urgently: "What is the fourth brother's clever plan to make the general change his mind in a blink of an eye?"
Mu Mangzi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The soldiers are not tired of cheating, go back to the second brother's camp." ”
Gu Menglong, Pu Yancang, and Tutianqi were all suspicious and confused, but the people of Wushan were still happy when they had their lives.
The executioner in charge of cutting Wucheng heard the order, cut the thick rope that bound Wucheng with an axe, and said with a smile: "They say that you are the longest, and I only cut one person, so I didn't cut any of them." ”
Wu Cheng scolded: "Guawa! next time remember to go from long to short!"
The executioner laughed and said, "It's your fate." ”
Wu Cheng glanced at the heads on the ground and said to the executioner, "Take my brothers and bury them alive." ”
The executioner said: "I can't imagine that if I cut you down, it would be a pity." ”
Wu Cheng got a life, and he didn't say "thank you", and followed behind the four of them in despair, he was not happy to get his life, but was unhappy that he was tied up by the Ba people and saved by these pretentious Ba people.
As soon as he returned to the camp of Zhan Menglong, he met Fan Yuntong, Xiang Zhen, Zhu Wu, Zheng Rong, Ba Ge, Ba Xin and others who learned the news and hurried to inquire.
Yu Menglong thanked Zheng Rong and the others and personally sent them out of the camp.
Back in the camp tent, the Menglong invited a few big leaders to enter the tent, so that the idlers were exempted, and the warriors of the Tiger Ben led by the Ying Ding and the Ying Ying were unable to get through.
As soon as a few people sat down, they didn't have time to drink water to suppress the shock, and they said, "Fourth brother, tell me quickly, what kind of trick are you using?"
Mu Mangzi said: "Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, treacherous ways, and said that soldiers are established by deception." I'm offering a trick. ”
Tu Tianqi said suspiciously: "We all know that my Ba people would rather die than surrender, how can the people of Chu believe it? How can General Ba Xiu be willing to listen?"
Gu Menglong said: "Big brother, don't worry, listen to the fourth brother first." ”
Mu Mangzi said: "If the people of Pakistan go to deceive and surrender, the people of Chu will naturally not believe it, but if the people of Chu go to deceive and surrender, he may not believe it; Coupled with a big enemy of Hu'an Palace, the Xiang clan went together, and Yang Ming would not suspect it. ”
Hearing this, others didn't fully know what medicine Mu Mangzi was selling, but Wu Cheng certainly understood, and said angrily: "Mu Mangzi!
Meng Long and the others were shocked.
Mu Mangzi said: "You sold yourself! I don't have to do this, you are dying hard now!"
Wu Cheng knew that he was wrong, he couldn't fall when he opened his mouth, and tilted his head to stare at Mu Mangzi.
Tu Tianqi exclaimed: "Fifth brother, are you from Chu State?"
Wu Cheng saw that he had denied it, so he had to say: "I am indeed from the Chu State." ”
Fan Yuntong drew his sword with a "swish".
Yu Menglong shouted: "Third brother, what are you doing!"
Fan Yuntong withdrew his sword and said with a smile: "When I heard the three words of Chu people, I was shocked and caught, and I was used to making a sword." In the past few days, I have been thinking about avenging my eldest brother Fan Jin. ”
Zhu Menglong said to Wu Cheng: "No wonder the sword you use is the Chu sword. Because of the long-term battle with the Chu army, he killed the Chu generals and took the sword for his own use, so he was not suspicious. No matter where you come from, as long as you are with us, you are like a brother. ”
Park Yancang said: "I heard some eyebrows. I think that Wushan people are not real names. You are not only a native of Chu, but also a general of Chu, and you know Chu General Yangming, right?
Wu Cheng glared at Mu Mangzi fiercely again, and said, "Since I have been betrayed by the so-called good brother, I will not hide it from you, I used to be the close guard of Yang Ming, the chief general of the Chu army. ”
Except for Mu Mangzi, no one was more surprised.
Wu Cheng's neck was crooked, and he came over again, and said: "I simply told you everything, so as not to ask, the meat on the cutting board will be cut and cut by you." Of course, I don't call it Wushan, I call it Wucheng. ”
Before a few people could react, Wu Bai, the boat master, really drew his sword and shouted, "It turns out that you are the assassin who assassinated the eldest brother!"
How could the fourth brother be the assassin who stabbed the senior brother, the thief had already been beaten into the sinkhole. ”
Wu Cheng tilted his head again and said, "I am the assassin who was beaten into the sinkhole by Hu'an Palace!"
The crowd was stunned.
Wu Cheng said with a smile: "However, it was the kindness of Guo Wuyuan Lao'er in Tiankeng Prison, who saw that my family was greatly wronged, and quietly let me go, and only sent my parents into the Tiankeng." "This is the rhetoric that Mu Mangzi, Wucheng, and Yu Mengyu thought of in advance when they came out of the sinkhole.
Park Yancang was shocked: "It is often said that Guo Wuyuan loves to do good deeds, and this time he really did a great thing." It's a pity he went. ”
Wu Cheng said: "He's dead?"
Park Yancang said: "After you were beaten into the sinkhole, you died in less than a month. ”
The dream-seeking dragon woke up like a dream and said, "So, you are Ruyan's brother?"
"Exactly. ”
A few days ago, Seventh Brother they said that you were like that assassin, and I scolded them. This is exactly what fate is, thousands of miles to get together. ”
Wu Cheng said to Mu Mangzi: "If it weren't for the face of Narcissus, you betrayed me, and I would ......."
Mu Mangzi smiled: "You swore a poisonous oath!"
Everyone was puzzled, and Menglong said: "They are all righteous brothers, what grievances are there, the bad debts in the stomachs of the dead will be eliminated from now on! Xiangzhen, the enmity between you and the fifth brother cannot be mentioned again in the future!"
Xiangzhen said: "Don't worry, Childe, I'm here for a while." Listening to what Mu Mangzi said, you should still use the last general, and the last general will be willing to smear his brains, and he will not give up!"
Tu Tianqi said: "Without further ado, let's ask the fourth brother to tell me what kind of ecstasy soup you poured for the general." ”
Mu Mangzi said briefly, and Menglong said: "Wonderful!"
Mu Mangzi said: "It's not good, I was anxious to save people at that time, and I thought of a bitter prescription, but when I think about it at this time, there are actually many loopholes." For example, if the Chu people accept surrender, they must order the weapons to be released first. ”
Tu Tianqi said: "This, it's not difficult to do. ”
Yu Menglong said: "I have understood the fourth brother's plan to deceive and surrender. Everyone remembers my words: First, the true identity of the fifth brother is not allowed to be leaked by anyone, if it is leaked, it will definitely be among us, and then don't blame the sword in my hand!"
A few people: "Don't worry!"
"Second, today's strategy is naturally not allowed to be leaked to anyone who has nothing to do with it, if there is a leak, it will be killed!"
A few people promised.
Yu Menglong said: "This matter is too big, and the time is also tight, I and General Yancang and Brother Tianqi immediately went to the eighth prince and the general, and I have to ask the monarch."
The others scattered, each at their own place, to recuperate.
