"It's a pity."

As if he was suddenly deflated again, he shook his head with a self-deprecating smile.

"Long, who has the ability to turn over rivers and seas, is now in prison."

"My jailers have said that the emperor intends to behead me so that the people of the imperial city can celebrate together."

"Lao Tzu has a life, and it is not a pity to die."

"It's a pity that those traitorous ministers in the court are still arrogant and happy, even if they enter the coffin, they won't be able to live in peace!"

Originally, before coming here, Lu Yuan was still a little hesitant in his heart.

After all, what he wants to do is to violate the law of Lieqian, and it is even more disobedient to the will of the emperor.

If the emperor knows about it, all the graces of the past will come to naught, and he will definitely be punished with serious crimes.

However, after saying these words to Mingjiang Long, Lu Yuan strengthened his determination.

Slowly raising his hand, a small snow-white mouse came out of the cuff.

Mingjiang Long looked confused, not understanding what Lu Yuan's move meant.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, and said softly: "Guishu, show up." ”

"Yes, master!"

I saw that the white light on the little mouse appeared, and he directly turned into a beautiful woman with excellent temperament.

Chaojiang Long was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement, "Lord Shizi, what kind of spell are you?" ”

"Or ...... Sorcery? ”

"Whether it's a spell or a demon spell."

Lu Yuan shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "As long as I can save your life, it's enough." ”

"Rosewood, let's do it."

"Yes!"

Gui Shu stepped forward unhurriedly, and picked up the iron rope on the mixed river dragon with both hands.

I saw her open her cherry mouth and bite the iron rope with her snow-white teeth.

"Girl, no!"

Mixed Jianglong hurriedly said, "Will give the tooth to ......"

"Click!"

"Dangchang!"

Before the mixed river dragon finished speaking, the chains on his body were directly gnawed off.

The two broken iron cables fell directly to the ground with a thud.

Seeing his hands moving freely again, Chaojianglong was flustered for a while.

This little girl looks delicate and weak.

How did he have such sharp iron teeth and copper teeth?

directly understated, and gnawed off the iron rope that bound him so that he couldn't move?

Don't wait for the mixed river dragon to come back to his senses.

I saw Gui Shu pull a finger and pull off a snow-white hair from his head.

Pouted and blew on that hair.

In an instant, he conjured up an identical self and was tied to a copper pillar by iron cables.

facial features, figure, hair, beard......

Even the scars on his body from the whipping were exactly the same.

"This ......"

Mixed River Dragon was startled by this clone that appeared out of thin air, and sat directly on the ground.

"Lord Shizi, you ...... Do you really have the help of the gods?! ”

"General Long laughed, there are no immortals in this world."

Lu Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Even if there is, I don't think I can beat Gu Immortals." ”

……

At noon the next day, the sun was blazing.

Dozens of leaders of the Water Dragon Village were escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market.

Among them, the first one is naturally the mixed river dragon.

Since the jailers and officials knew what a powerful master he was.

For masters, there is naturally enough attention.

He was locked up in a prison cart with sixty pounds of chains tied to him.

Including around the neck, there is a heavy lock.

I couldn't even lift my head when I fell.

When the prisoner car passed through the city, tens of thousands of people gathered on both sides, stretching their necks and eyes to watch.

The official of the Criminal Department who was in charge of escorting the car, riding a horse and walking in the front, shouted loudly: "Folks, look at it!" ”

"This thief is the chaotic river dragon who is full of evil and troubles the South China Sea, Long Tao!"

"This person used to be a military attache of the imperial court, but he failed the grace of the saint, bent the law for bribes, and fled to Nansha Island after the incident."

"Over the years, I have plundered many merchant ships of the Lieqian Dynasty, which has made the local people hate it!"

"Today, this thief has finally been caught, and he has deserved the end of the offense."

"There is an order from the saint, escort to the noon gate, behead the public!"

"Good!"

The crowd erupted in thunderous cheers and applause.

The people took out rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs from the vegetable basket one after another, and slashed them on the body of the mixed river dragon.

Seeing this, the leaders behind him were all full of grief and despair.

Mingjiang Long always lowered his head and was not surprised, and did not say a word.

The prisoner cart circled the street and then turned back to the noon gate.

The mixed river dragon was already covered with rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, and he looked embarrassed.

Geng Wen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Yuan Zhen, the deputy commander of Qingcangwei, and Zhang Shizai, the secretary of Dali Temple.

The three big men were made on the prison beheading platform, which shows the importance attached to the mixed river dragon.

"Verify your identity!"

Geng Wen held the dossier in his hand and shouted indifferently, "Qin is Long Tao?!" ”

Mingjianglong still kept his head down and didn't say a word.

The three overseers exchanged glances, and they all nodded slightly.

There are many dreams at night, so it is better to kill them quickly.

"If you don't speak, you can't rely on it!"

Geng Wen shouted coldly, "Qin Foul Long Tao, the thief chief of the Water Dragon Village on Nansha Island, nicknamed the Mixed River Dragon." ”

"He was originally the governor of the second grade of the imperial court, but because of the embezzlement of silver and silver, he fell into the grass and brought disaster to the country and the people!"

"After the trial of the three halls of the Criminal Department, Qing Cangwei, and Dali Temple, Long Tao and his twenty-one subordinates will be beheaded and displayed to the public!"

"It's noon, execution!"

Geng Wen, Yuan Zhen, and Zhang Shizai took out the prison order in front of them at the same time and threw them to the ground in front of them.

More than twenty executioners raised their machetes at the same time.

Immediately without hesitation, he swung his knife and fell.

Click!

Blood gushed out, and heads fell to the ground.

The people erupted in a fierce cheer: "Good! ”

"Well killed!"

"Happy!"

Everyone was immersed in the pleasure of the imperial court removing a great scourge.

So no one noticed, the outermost part of the crowd.

A burly man wearing a straw hat trembled all over, and two tears flowed from his eyes.

"Let's go."

Lu Yuan sighed and said softly, "After the others disperse, I will send someone to collect their bodies." ”

In fact, in his heart, he was also bitter.

Originally, the subordinates of Chaojiang Long, Lu Yuan also wanted to save them.

After all, these people are not just the brothers of Chaojiang Long.

It is a rare talent.

They followed the mixed Jianglong on Nansha Island and fought and mediated with the imperial court for many years.

Each has valuable experience in water warfare.

You can't buy it for any amount of money.

However, Gui Shu's mana is not too strong, and he only has a disfigured hair.

In addition, if all the prisoners are replaced with dummies, there is a good chance that the clues will be seen.

Lu Yuan in order to keep the mixed river dragon, but also to protect himself.

I had to reluctantly give up these talents.

Lu Yuan patted Chao Jianglong on the shoulder and led him out of the court.

But as soon as he turned around, he was met with a familiar face.

It is his old father-in-law, Gu Shiqing!

"Yo."

Gu Shiqing was interested, "Yuan'er, you also came here to watch?" ”

"Yes...... Oh, yes. ”

Lu Yuan chuckled in his heart, and on the surface, he forced a smile in a panic.

"But your old man, even joining in this kind of fun? It's a rarity. ”

"The old man is a scholar, how can he see this bloody and lively truth?"

Gu Shiqing sighed and said helplessly, "However, Your Majesty has a decree and ordered me to come and write the execution story, and he will read it in person when he returns." ”

"As a literati, it is really insulting to a saint to do such a thing."

As he spoke, Gu Shiqing looked at the man beside Lu Yuan, with a puzzled face, "Yuan'er, who is this ......?" ”

"Uh......"

The corners of Lu Yuan's eyes jumped wildly, and he forced himself to calm down, "He is my new friend recently, named Ni Tao, and his nickname is Gouli Loach." ”

"I was going to take him home for a cup of tea and a good chat."

The corners of Mingjianglong's mouth twitched slightly, and he was speechless in his heart.

After mixing for half a lifetime, I finally won the reputation of a mixed river dragon, but I became a loach in the ditch?

The loach is just that, and I changed my surname to myself.

Although he has to be incognito now, he won't have such a sloppy name, right?

"Yuan'er, I didn't say you."

Gu Shiqing said in a serious tone, "You are the prince of the Han Dynasty, and there are many people in the court who are watching your every move. ”

"Especially the prince's lineage, he has sensed that you are a threat to them, and he is trying to find your mold every day."

"At this juncture, you must be cautious and not be caught."

"Yes, yes, you've always been taught."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”

After saying that, he took the hand of the mixed river dragon and left in a hurry.

Looking at Lu Yuan's back, Gu Shiqing sighed with hatred.

"Not to mention the fierce light and gangsterism on his face, he still has such a long beard at a young age."

"What kind of friends do you have made with this distant son?"

……

Until he brought the mixed river dragon back to the firewood room in the house, he slammed the door shut.

Lu Yuancai breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and sat on the wooden stake chopping firewood.

"Scare me to death, scare me to death."

"Lord Shizi, who is that old sour man?"

Chao Jianglong said with some dissatisfaction, "Obviously he is a poor Confucian who is decayed, and he is sour, and he actually uses such a domineering tone to teach you." ”

"If it was on Nansha Island, I would have broken his leg for you a long time ago!"

"Hit you on the head!"

The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he scolded, "That's my father-in-law!" ”

"If you want to break his legs, my daughter-in-law can't break all three of my legs?"

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he lowered his head a little embarrassed.

After a long time, he asked weakly, "Lord Shizi, you only have two legs, where is the third one?" ”

Lu Yuan: "......"

"Okay, I have, you don't."

Lu Yuan froze and asked lightly, "General Long, do you hate me?" ”

"Why should I hate you?" Mixed Jianglong looked puzzled.

"With my ability, I can only save you alone."

Lu Yuan sighed and said: "But let your brothers suffer all the insults of the people, and they ended up on the ground." ”

Hearing this, Mingjianglong was also silent for a while.

There was a touch of coldness in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Lord Shizi, you are my savior, how can I hate you?" ”

"Besides, it wasn't the prince who killed my brothers."

"It's the dog officials in the court who are colluding and embarrassed!"

"Sooner or later, Lao Tzu must skin them and cramp them to pay tribute to the souls of his brothers in the sky!"

"This is also the wish of this son."

Lu Yuan said with a straight face, "General Long, since you don't hate me, then in the future, you will be my person." ”

"There are a few things I want to make clear to you."

"First, today I took a risk and brought you to the Dharma field in person."

"First, it's so that you can see your brothers one last time."

"Second, it's also for you to say goodbye to yourself."

Lu Yuan said meaningfully, "The former Mixed River Dragon has been beheaded. ”

"From now on, you are no longer a mixed river dragon, nor is it a dragon Tao."

"Otherwise, not only will you be killed, but I will also be trapped in a place from which I will never recover."

Mixed Jianglong nodded solemnly, "Lord Shizi, I understand. ”

"Then after that, what name should I show up?"

"Didn't I already get up for you?"

Lu Yuan grinned and said, "In the future, if you don't hand over Long Tao, you will be called Ni Tao instead, and your nickname will be Gouli Loach." ”

"I guarantee that in this life, no one can think that you are a mixed river dragon."

The corners of Mingjiang Long's mouth twitched slightly, although the boss was unwilling, he still accepted the name given to him by Lu Yuan.

"Second, you can't stay in the Imperial City."

Lu Yuan squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice, "There are Qingcang guards everywhere here, and they are extremely disguised. ”

"Maybe an old man sweeping the streets, or an old woman selling sugar gourds, is the secret guard spy of Qing Cangwei."

"The Imperial City is too dangerous for you."

"Even if you stay in the house every day and can't move an inch, you will be exposed."

Mingjiang Long frowned and said, "That'...... Where do I stay? ”

"This, I will naturally arrange."

Lu Yuan smiled lightly, "In a few days, after I have dealt with everything at hand, I will take you to my territory." ”

"When you get there, not only will you be able to live calmly and happily, but I will also find you a good job so that you can make good use of your skills."

Mixed Jianglong's eyes lit up, "Dare to ask the prince, what kind of errand is it?" ”

"When the time comes, you'll know."

Lu Yuan smiled mysteriously, and then advised, "In the past few days, you will stay in the firewood room, eat, drink, and Lazar will be solved here, and don't go anywhere." ”

"Every morning and evening, I will send someone to bring you food and wine."

"The two of us are grasshoppers on the same rope, and if you make any mistakes, I can't get out of it, understand?"

Mixed Jianglong nodded solemnly, "Understood!" ”

Although he doesn't care about his personal safety, he values love and righteousness.

When I die, it's nothing.

But Lu Yuan was kind to him, and it was a life-saving grace.

Even if you die, you must not drag down the prince.

……

After Lu Yuan left, he looked left and right for a while, confirming that there was no one around.

So he took off the jade pendant from his waist and put it on the haystack next to the firewood house.

"Condensation, I'll leave it to you here."

Lu Yuan said in a low voice, "Every morning when everyone doesn't wake up, and at night when everyone sleeps, I send one pound of wine and two pounds of meat to Mingjianglong." ”

"If anyone comes into the firewood room, you can persuade them to leave."

"If he can't be persuaded, use a spell to drag him down, and then notify me immediately, and I will solve it."

"In short, no matter what happens, you must not let people know that there is a person hidden in the firewood room, understand?" (End of chapter)
