Chapter 40: The Yuntai Roundup
Early the next morning.
Xiaozhong woke up, his eyes were not opened, but his heart was still painful, and he wished it was a dream.
But it's not a dream, it's reality......
I saw a sudden flash of sharpness in his eyes, packed up his clothes and put on his sword and went straight to Xiao Li's place.
Prison.
Today is the day of Xiao Li's execution, King Jing, Situ and others may have learned the lessons of the previous two times, and today they were executed on the rooftop outside the cell, and surrounded this place.
Above the 100 steps is the roof of the cell, Xiao Li, who is chained, and next to him is the executioner, waiting for the order to execute. Duan Gan was also there, and at this time, a scholar dressed as a man wearing a black iron mask walked out of the gate of the prison, with a folding fan in his hand, and this person was Yan Xu.
Such an atmosphere seems to be waiting for someone to come.
Xiaozhong carried the dragon tail sword, approaching the rooftop step by step, and the murderous aura around him was chilling.
secretly said in his heart: Xiao Li, that's all I can do for you......
I only hope that you can get out of the cage today and fly away, and I will do the rest......
The war is about to start, and the defenders will fight to the death......
In an instant, on the hundreds of steps, I saw a bloody road, Xiaozhong's eyes were bloodshot like crazy, and he roared wildly, and there was only one word in his eyes: kill.
Although Xiao Li's hands and feet were tied with chains, when he saw Xiaozhong rushing up, he broke free of one hand, turned around and knocked over the executioner, picked up a big knife to cut the chain, and rushed down the steps with the executioner's big knife.
"Xiao Li!" Duan Gan stopped him and said, "You should obey the law if you violate the law of the country, you see-"
Pointing downward, he said: "If you don't die filial piety, you will inevitably turn against the court in order to save you, and all your achievements will come to naught, and you will be infamous for treason, and you will be ruined from now on. ”
Xiao Li stood on the rooftop, looking at the bloody Xiaozhong in the audience.
Xiaozhong was suppressed by dozens of Changge, and he was using all his strength to resist with the dragon tail sword, and it was more than enough to deal with these people on weekdays, but the arrow wound under the ribs did not heal, and at this moment, the wound burst out with a force, and the blood burst out, which hurt the lungs Xiaozhong couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and the few people around him saw this and tried their best to make it on the Ge, Xiaozhong knew that he was here to fight hard, so he fought for his life to fight a sword enemy Baige, relying on the last bit of strength to move back to the situation, and another sword swept, and several people around him were seriously injured and fell to the ground.
One of them got up and shouted: "General, you can't fight anymore, give up Xiao Li." Xiaozhong raised his sword and swept past......
Then another group of people surrounded him, and Xiaozhong fought again in a bloody battle.
Yes, if you are not careful, you will inevitably be in a different place. Xiao Li saw it in his eyes and remembered the admonition of King Ming that day, and the facts were really in front of him.
The anger in Xiao Li's eyes dissipated, and he was only heard to say clearly: "Death—what's so difficult!" He picked up the executioner's knife and held it to his throat.
Xiaozhong's ribs were bleeding nonstop, and he felt dizzy, but he still insisted in his heart, and only told himself to hold on, Xiao Li will definitely fly away today, away from this place of right and wrong, and I will block this disaster for you. At this time, Xiaozhong broke free from the shackles and walked up a few platforms, but unfortunately saw this scene, and roared hoarsely: "Xiao Li! Stop it! ”
However, it was too late, the big knife had already slashed through the throat, and blood spurted out.
"Xiao Li—" Xiaozhong shouted and rushed up.
At this time, the killer had already been ambushed on both sides of the rooftop pillar, but seeing that this person was holding a long sword, the speed was like an arrow out of the bow and stabbed behind Xiaozhong, this sword was piercing the right lower abdomen, Xiaozhong was in unbearable pain, screamed, and then turned around and cut off the man's waist, his left hand covered the wound, and blood flowed out of his fingers, his right knee knelt on the ground, supported the ground with his sword, gritted his teeth and raised his head, and stood up.
Seeing that Yan Xu smiled at him lightly, Xiao Zhong endured the pain and swung his sword and slashed at Yan Xu, but unexpectedly, a group of people on both sides of Yan Xu surrounded him, and Xiao Zhong fought, this group of people's tactics are very different from the soldiers on the hundred steps, each fierce is very, and only attack but not defend, Xiao Zhong knows that these people must be dead soldiers, today they are desperate to come, so they fought for their lives, and the battle was extremely tragic in an instant, Yan Xu saw this and retreated, signaling Duan Gan to use the dragon rope, Duan Gan's hands outward, and the two chains were like spiritual snakes "whirring" The ground flew out of his sleeve, one wrapped around Xiaozhong's left arm and the other wrapped around his left, and the rope still burned Xiaozhong's arm and made a sizzling sound.
Xiao Zhong slashed the dragon rope with his sword, and the dragon tail sword came out as if it had been struck by lightning. didn't expect Duan Gan to really make a move, he looked at Duan Gan puzzled.
Duan Gan also looked at Xiaozhong and said, "Xiaozhong, you will understand one day." ”
"Ahh......h
Pull the chain hard, the chain is just a general chain in the hands of the soldiers, but the section wrapped around Xiaozhong is very different, especially the section wrapped around Xiaozhong's hands, as if burned red, Xiaozhong's hands have been burned at this time The flesh and blood have been blurred, and he still pulls with all his strength, but his feet are entangled, and then one after another iron ropes fly from different directions, tightly wrapping Xiaozhong's legs and waist and abdomen, each of which is wrapped around Xiaozhong's body as if it is burning red, making a sizzling sound.
The other end of the chain was controlled by someone, "Ah-" Several people struggled to pull, Xiaozhong lost his center of gravity "poof-" with a muffled sound, and fell heavily to the ground, raising bursts of dust on the ground, and before the dust landed, Xu Xu saw that it was rare to pick up the dragon tail sword at this time, jumped up, and a sword pierced Jin Xiaozhong's heart, and the tip of the sword pierced Xiaozhong's heart and pierced into the underground stone slab with a muffled sound.
"Ahh......h It seems that he drank too much last night and has not eaten for a few days, and his voice is a little hoarse, but he feels that the bones in his spine and chest are cut off by the sword, and he hears the sound of bones breaking with his own ears, and the pain goes straight to the root of his teeth, and he can't help but hiss, but the pain is still unbearable, and he clenches his fists and grits his teeth and insists on not making a sound.
"Uh-" But he still couldn't hold back the voice coming out of his throat.
However, seeing this, Yan Xu was in line with his heart, and he clenched the dragon tail sword and pressed down again, Xiao Zhong couldn't help the pain and screamed in pain again, and then Yan Xu stepped on Xiao Zhong's back with his right foot, held the sword with both hands, gritted his teeth, and pulled out the sword with all his strength.
Blood gushed out from Xiaozhong's heart, and the blood of his heart splashed into Yan Xu's teeth, and Yan Xu tasted it with relish, and his face was very disgusting. But when he saw a bead the size of a wine bowl suddenly appear in his hand, there seemed to be several forces condensed in the bead, and he covered this bead on Xiaozhong's body, and saw a red flame-like air flow from Xiaozhong's wound into this bead, and the movement was extremely fast, and no one seemed to notice.
It didn't take long for Xiaozhong's heart to flow all over the ground, and blood kept flowing in his mouth, he lay in a pool of blood, looking at Xiao Li not far away, stretched out his hand, his palm was burned by the dragon rope, the skin and flesh were separated, and he was about to move forward, and said with a smile: "Xiao Li, I was not born on the same day but died on the same day, I didn't lose you after all." ”
After speaking, he lowered his head, but dimly saw a person who was eight or nine points similar to his appearance, he knew who it was, and said weakly: "It's father, father!" ”
The man loomed and leaned down, took his hand and said, "Yu'er, since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been in a dilemma, my good son, you--you have also used your life to choose......"
"Father—" Hyo-chung let out his last breath.
Duan Gan withdrew the chain and said angrily: "You promised me that you wouldn't hurt his life!" ”
Yan Xu hurriedly put away the beads and said, "I promised you, but I didn't promise Da Situ." ”
"You-" "Repeating villain! ”
Besides, at night, Ziqing was relieved that he was not filial piety, and was awakened by a nightmare before he got up early in the morning, someone came to report that the old man of the general's mansion asked to see, Ziqing put on his coat and hurriedly came to the house, only to see his own war horse parked at the door outside the house, and then there was the old He who was worried and locked, Ziqing's heart palpitated, and he knew that it was not good, Lao He said that the state of filial piety was not good, I am afraid that something was not good: "Ziqing, Xiaozhong got up this morning and rode a horse to the west of the city, today is the day of Xiao Li's execution, I saw that Xiaozhong's demeanor was wrong, but he couldn't stop him, this, how is it good?" Go check it out. ”
Ziqing shuddered in her heart after hearing this, and hurriedly ran out like an arrow and got on her horse, beating her horse and going straight to the prison in the west of the city.
On the way, he met Du Meng rushing over, and Du Meng saw Ziqing and hurriedly shouted: "Cousin, it's not good, Du Heng heard that the general went to the law field, and he rushed with a team of people, saying that he was going to pick up the general, I can't stop him, I don't know what is going on at the moment!" ”
"Something happened!" Let's beat the horses and hurry all the way.
At this time, he had arrived on horseback, Ziqing frowned, and walked to the top of the prison platform step by step, and there was this scene in front of him, with blood flowing all over the ground under the rooftop, and countless wounded.
After walking a few more steps, I saw Du Heng's corpse, only to see Du Heng staring ahead, Ziqing squatted down, closed Du Heng's eyes with his hand, and then went up, on the rooftop, full of blood, flowing to the bottom of the rooftop, Xiao Li fell to the ground with a big knife in his hand, the executioner was still standing in the distance waiting for the order, Xiaozhong lying in a pool of blood was lifeless, and another burst of grief hit his heart, and finally he couldn't support it and knelt down, and was about to cry with Xiaozhong, and suddenly held back the tears that were about to gush out.
On the rooftop, in addition to the officials who were punished, there were Duan Gan and the iron-faced scholar, the chains in Duan Gan's hands were not collected, and there was still blood dripping.
Ziqing couldn't hold back his grief and pulled out his sword, pointed at Duan Gan with his sword, and said, "Duan Gan - he Jin Xiaozhong - even if he died, he didn't make a move on you, yes!" Or not? ”
Duan Gan looked dazed, and listened to him say again: "How can you bear to treat him to death, your conscience!"
"Ziqing's matter is not what you see!"
Ziqing's eyes were red as if they were bloodshot. He also said, "It's useless to talk more, now that Xiaozhong is dead, there will be no one to stop me—kill you—" and then swung his sword and went straight to Duan Gan's throat.
Seeing this, Yan Xu hurriedly whispered: "You have to deal with it here, the Dragon Ball can't fall into his hands, otherwise all the work will be wasted." ”
Duan Gan glanced at him, and then heard him say: "The gods and beasts are one, and you and I still need to work together to refine, I am waiting for you on the shore of the sea, don't fall in love with war!" As he spoke, he hurried away, with a dazzling speed, and the group of dead soldiers followed.
And Duan Gan didn't want to make a move with Ziqing, seeing Ziqing approaching and retreating a few steps back, Ziqing's sword pounced in the air, turned around and stabbed Duan Gan viciously, Duan Gan had to withdraw the bundle dragon rope in order to save his life, and crossed each other in the air to entangle Ziqing's sword blade, but this sword actually emitted a thunderbolt lightning, burning Ziqing's hand, Ziqing's sword immediately took off his hand, and the other hand held the injured hand, and said in his heart: How can this be!
Duan Gan said: "You are also the bloodline of the Jin family, so naturally you can't touch the dragon rope." ”
"So every time I want to fight you, you dodge?"
"Ziqing, now is not the time for you to take revenge, when the time comes, I, Duan Ganjishu, will personally send it to the door - let you cut it with a thousand knives!"
"What the hell are you doing?" Ziqing asked helplessly.
The two talked like this but did not notice the movement behind them, at this time, the crane white jade turned into a crane body, carrying the incense soul Xiaozhong and flew into the sky, Ziqing shouted below: "Where are you going?" ”
The white jade incense soul had already flown away, and it was no longer possible to hear what he said.
