Chapter 39: The Prisoner Robbery
Shui Linghan and Sakura Infant rushed to the Yuxian City Square.
It was already crowded with people.
Many sergeants were arranged around the square to maintain order, and there were four guards guarding the four corners under the beheading platform on the side.
And in the center of the platform, kneeling was Chu Haotian, who was locked in chains and silent.
Ying Ying excitedly patted Shui Linghan while pointing at Chu Haotian and whispered.
"It's Chu Haotian! Brother Ling Han is Chu Haotian! ”
Shui Linghan nodded, his eyes staring at Chu Haotian tightly.
At this time, Chu Haotian's hands and feet were chained, and he knelt on the platform with a confused expression, his eyes staring blankly and vacantly, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.
The clothes were already in tatters, and even the terrible wounds could be faintly seen through the tears in the clothes.
Shui Linghan couldn't help but feel angry.
"Damn! What Xie Yi did to him! He's still a kid! ”
At this time, the chatter of passers-by was heard.
"I heard that this son of the Left Protector is brutal by nature, in addition to the little guy who was assassinated to death in Elder Mu's family, and Elder Zhu of the Illusion Gate was also killed by him!"
"Elder Zhu! How could he have been assassinated? ”
Shui Linghan didn't hold back, and hurriedly interjected.
Passers-by looked at Shui Linghan, ignored him, and continued to chat with others.
"It is said that Chu Haotian was ordered to assassinate Xie Yi, but he was stopped by Elder Zhu, and he killed Elder Zhu in a fit of anger!"
"Really!"
"That's not it, now the elders of the Five Elements are arguing with the Illusion Gate to ask the priest to give an explanation, and the priest decided to publicly execute Chu Haotian today in order to calm his anger."
Shui Ling's cold heart is not good.
This Illusion Gate is proficient in the art of transfiguration, and Chu Haotian must have been in Xie Yi's way, so he mistook Elder Zhu for Xie Yi's assassination.
At the moment, there is no other way but to save the people first.
Shui Linghan interjected again.
"Then may I ask this little brother, when will the execution begin? I'm almost hungry! ”
The passer-by brother looked at Shui Linghan.
"Then you little brother go to dinner first! I guess it will start in an hour, but I don't know if you can squeeze into this good position after walking for a while! ”
Shui Linghan hurriedly thanked him.
"Thanks for reminding me, Dad, we'll come back later."
Seeing this, Sakura hurriedly agreed.
"Hey! Good! ”
The two squeezed out of the crowd and came to a secluded alley.
At this time, the medicinal effect of the Illusory Pill was nearing its end, and the two of them changed back to their original appearance one after another.
Sakura asked anxiously.
"What should I do? Brother Ling Han, Chu Haotian will be beheaded in a while! ”
Shui Linghan frowned.
"I know...... I didn't expect Xie Yi to start so quickly. ”
"But I will save Chu Haotian at all costs."
"But how can we save it? There are so many guards, and there are many innocent people, and besides, they are still in the realm of bad guys! I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with so many enemies, right? ”
Sakura Baby's worries are clear to Shui Linghan, but now that time is pressing, there is no other better way.
It is true that the risk is too great, and Xie Yi is scheming. If you act rashly, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.
But now, if he doesn't take action, I'm afraid Chu Hao's head will really fall to the ground.
"Can't hesitate any longer!"
Shui Linghan instructed.
"Ying Ying, you hide near the square for a while, I want to find a way to attract the attention of those people, and you take the opportunity to save Chu Haotian."
"After that, you go out first, and hide near the city walls, and I will go to join you after I get rid of the pursuers."
Sakura couldn't think of a better way, so she had to agree.
"That'...... You have to be careful! ”
"I will."
With that, Shui Linghan jumped on the eaves lightly and looked around vigilantly.
The vicinity of the square is relatively empty, and the view is good, if Xie Yi sets up an ambush here, it will be very difficult to hide the ambush soldiers.
"That's it, just act at the opportunity for a while, if you are unfortunately arrested, you can finally do something for your brother, and it will not be in vain to come to the world."
Thinking like this, Shui Linghan leaned down and closely watched the movement in the square.
Boom!
A gong sounded and drew everyone's attention.
Two people dressed in brocade clothes got down from the sedan chair and sat down on the main seat of the prison beheading platform under the guidance of the attendants.
Shui Linghan was a little surprised.
"It's strange, with Chu Haotian's identity and crime, he should have been personally supervised by the priest of the Immortal Realm, so Xie Yi didn't actually show up in person? Could it be that he has other arrangements? “
Shui Linghan didn't understand what medicine was sold in Xie Yi's gourd, but fortunately he continued to read it.
When the clerk saw that the prisoner was seated, he took out the indictment from his bosom and began to read it.
"Chu Haotian, the son of the left protector of the Imperial Immortal Realm, was instigated by the former acting lord Shui Linghan to coerce Elder Mu Xing to hand over the token unsuccessfully, and wanted to assassinate Elder Mu Xing's attendant to death, and after absconding in fear of crime, he was dissatisfied with the priest of the Imperial Immortal Realm, and trespassed into the priest's mansion to assassinate Elder Zhu of the Strange Illusion Gate, who was a guest in the priest's mansion, and his crimes were tied!"
"Today, in order to sue the spirit of the deceased in the sky, and to calm the anger of the people of the Five Elements and the Strange Illusion Sect, we hereby announce that the person who committed the crime Chu Haotian is hereby executed in public!"
Chu Haotian listened to these accusations expressionlessly, as if he was a stranger who had nothing to do with this matter.
The paperwork came to Chu Haotian at the moment.
"Chu Haotian, do you have any wishes before you die, just put it forward, if it is reasonable, we will fulfill it for you."
Chu Haotian was still silent.
The clerk looked at the supervisor, who nodded.
"Since he didn't say it, then there was nothing to ask for! Executioner, execution! ”
The sturdy nephew walked towards Chu Haotian step by step with a big knife in his hand.
Suddenly, a flash of light rushed towards the executioner.
The executioner was startled and hurriedly ducked.
"This! What is this? ”
Before everyone could see it clearly, they saw countless rays of light in the air.
The light seemed to be consciously driving the people in the square.
"It's sword light!"
"Be careful, everyone!"
"Run!"
The onlookers dodged everywhere in order to avoid the attack of the spirit sword, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.
Seeing this, the clerk hurriedly shouted.
"There are assassins! There are assassins! Someone has robbed the Dharma Field! ”
When the guards heard this, they hurriedly rushed to the stage to take Chu Haotian away.
On the roof, a slender and tall figure once again drove the spirit sword to force the guards back from Chu Haotian's side.
"Ahhhh Run! ”
The guards couldn't get close to Chu Haotian, so they had to fight and retreat.
In just a few moments, there was not much left of the crowd in the square.
"It's time."
Shui Linghan jumped down from the eaves, blocking the guards and the prison officer.
The warden retreated in a panic.
"Who dares to disrupt the execution!"
Shui Ling smiled coldly.
"But in just a few days, you don't even recognize me!"
The warden was taken aback.
"You! You are Shui Linghan! ”
"Someone! Tell the Priests! The mastermind is here! ”
The clerk agreed, and hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran, but was looked at by Sakura Baby, who was waiting on the side.
"Want to go?"
Sakura leaps into the air, and in an instant, a giant dryad roars and blocks the paperwork's path.
"Where are you going?"
Clerk screamed in fright at this horrific scene, then rolled his eyes and fainted to the ground.
"Sakura, take Haotian away!"
"Understood!"
The cherry baby transformed into a girl's appearance and quickly came to Chu Haotian.
"Chu Haotian! Get up and follow me! ”
Sakura Ying pulled up Chu Haotian, who was Mu Ne, and wanted to take him away, but at some point, a group of sergeants poured around him like a tide, surrounding the three of them.
"Don't want to go!"
Seeing that Sakura Ying was trapped, Shui Linghan raised his sword, and at the edge of the sword, a huge magic circle opened, and countless spirit sword sword shadows were launched from the magic circle like meteors.
"I'm here to stop them! Take Haotian away! ”
"Good!"
