Chapter 80: Public Executions

I saw the two sides coming and going, and in the shadow of swords and swords, I only heard the sound of "clanging" weapons colliding!

Everyone on the side had already stopped making noise, and they all held their breath and watched the two of them fight intently!

Watching the two of you come and go, Ji Lie couldn't help but nod secretly.

Zhang Changde can already be regarded as superior in force, but Shen Wu is not lagging behind at all.

There is a degree of advance and retreat, Kong Wu is powerful, and the response is more agile!

At this moment, the battle in the field is also coming to an end.

With superior skills, Shen Wu launched a stormy attack.

Zhang Changde was forced to retreat, and when he was about to lose, the weapons of the two were heavily clenched.

Only a crisp impact sound was heard, and Shen Wu's weapon was broken into two parts in response!

Looking at the weapon that was only half cut in his hand, let alone Shen Wu, the others present were also stunned.

"I'm defeated!"

Shen Wu dropped the broken blade in his hand and couldn't laugh or cry.

"Brother Shen is going to humiliate me!"

Zhang Changde put away the horizontal knife and shook his head,

"You obviously won this battle, but you just lost with weapons!"

He has always acted above board, and he is not a man who cannot afford to lose.

He had completely fallen into the disadvantage just now, if it weren't for Shen Wu's weapon being broken, he would definitely be the one who lost!

"Then let's take it as a draw!"

Shen Wu laughed and shook hands with Zhang Changde.

Everyone on the side also didn't expect that the battle between the two would end in such an ending.

However, the fight just now was also quite exciting, which made everyone feel a little unfinished.

"Hehe, Shen Daxia's martial arts are so superb, it's really an eye-opener for Lone!"

Ji Lie stepped forward with a smile and greeted Shen Wu.

Only then did everyone notice that Ji Lie and Yang Qing were watching the battle on the sidelines, and hurriedly saluted him.

"The prince has an overreputation, and if he really goes to the battlefield with this bit of kung fu, it's nothing."

Shen Wu's words were not modest.

Don't look at him as a ranger, diligent in martial arts.

But if he goes to the battlefield, I'm afraid that even seven or eight well-trained elite soldiers can easily kill him!

"By the way, where did Brother Zhang get this weapon, it is so sophisticated?"

Looking at the horizontal knife in Zhang Changde's hand, Shen Wu's face was full of envy.

As a person who practices martial arts, there is no one who doesn't like divine weapons.

Shen Wu's broken blade also cost a lot of money to get it, but he didn't expect it to be still inferior to Zhang Changde's horizontal knife.

"It's not a secret, this horizontal knife was added by the prince!"

Zhang Changde said with a smile.

He told how Ji Lie taught Lu Ban to refine iron, as well as the design of horizontal knives and Mingguang armor.

When several people heard this, they were all dumbfounded.

Such a divine weapon armor was actually designed and researched by Ji Lie?

"I see, no wonder on the way I came with Brother Yang, I saw the farm tools in the hands of those farmers, all of which were made of fine iron!"

Shen Wu said with emotion.

"If Shen Daxia likes it, Gu can give you a handful."

Ji Lie said disappreciatively.

"How does this work?"

Shen Wu was flattered and hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

The iron materials purchased by the royal palace are all giving priority to building Mingguang armor.

There are not many divine weapons like horizontal knives, only Zhang Changde and the left and right deputy commanders, as well as a few centurions, are qualified to have them.

"Shen Daxia, don't be busy refusing, in fact, Lone has something to entrust you."

Ji Lie smiled.

"The prince said bluntly, as long as he can do it in the future, he will never refuse!"

Shen Wu patted his chest and said.

"Shen Daxia is full of martial arts, if he is buried in the grass, it will be a pity."

"If you don't dislike Lone, you might as well serve Lone."

"From then on, Shen Daxia served as the commander of Lone's own army, while Changde concentrated on commanding the army."

After seeing that Shen Wu was so skilled, Ji Lie also had a heart of love.

Zhang Changde is certainly brave, but after familiarizing himself with Ji Lie's art of war, he is better at leading troops to fight.

It's a bit overkill to let him be the commander all the time.

And Shen Wu had previously escorted Yang Qing and served as the commander of his own soldiers, which was the most suitable!

"It's so good, if you can work for the prince with Brother Shen, it will really be a pleasure!"

Zhang Changde was not dissatisfied because Shen Wu wanted to replace him, but was quite looking forward to it!

"This ......"

Shen Wu looked at Yang Qing with a look of hesitation,

"This matter depends on what Brother Yang means!"

"I am grateful to you for protecting me for many years. As long as you agree, I don't have a problem! ”

Yang Qing said seriously.

"In that case...... Thanks to the prince's refusal to give up, from now on, I am willing to follow the prince's side and swear allegiance! ”

Shen Wu knelt down on one knee towards Ji Lie and said solemnly.

"Good, good, good! In the future, Lone's safety will be entrusted to Commander Shen! ”

"Please rest assured, before his subordinates die, no one will hurt the prince in the slightest!"

Shen Wu said solemnly.

After successfully accepting Shen Wu, Ji Lie was also in a happy mood.

He planned to take Shen Wu to Gao Laozhuang for a trip and reward Shen Wu with the horizontal sword and Mingguang armor.

With Shen Wu's bravery, if he was equipped with a horizontal sword and Mingguang armor, wouldn't it be even more powerful?

So everyone left the palace and headed for Gao Laozhuang outside the city.

As soon as the group walked to the street, they saw many people walking towards the city in twos and threes.

As they walked, they exchanged heads and ears.

"Have you heard, Guocheng seems to want to punish the prisoner and behead him in public!"

"What the hell is going on?"

"I don't know the specifics, it seems that someone offended Guocheng's son!"

Hearing their discussions, Ji Lie's heart moved, and he commanded in a low voice,

"Don't rush out of the city yet, you might as well go and see what the hell Gongsun River is doing!"

Everyone had no objections, and they all nodded their heads.

Following a group of people, the group came to the Guocheng Mansion in the center of the city.

There is a vacant lot next to the Guocheng Mansion where a platform is built.

It is usually used to execute prisoners in public, or to read official notices.

At this moment, the people on the inner and outer three floors have surrounded the platform.

Fortunately, Zhang Changde and Shen Wuren were tall and big, so they squeezed in.

I saw that on the stage, in addition to Gongsun He, Gongsun Qing, Yu Jing, and the people from the government, there were two other strong men who were tied up with flowers.

As soon as he saw the two of them, Shen Wu's face changed,

"How could it be them?"

"Commander Shen recognizes them?"

Ji Lie said curiously.

"It's a long story, but there is a bit of friendship!"

Shen Wu hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said,

"My subordinates can't watch them being killed, I'm afraid I'm going to be sorry for the prince!"

Seeing that he was about to rush out, Ji Lie hurriedly stopped in front of him, shook his head and said,

"Don't be in a hurry! Since they have a relationship with you, Lone naturally won't sit idly by! ”
