Chapter 44: A sword shook Kyoto

In the early morning, there were few people around the execution ground, and it was deserted, and Zhang Xiaopan, who had just opened his eyes, felt a chill on his body and shivered.

I got up and walked around, except for some vegetable farmers who sold vegetables, there were basically no people, and I found a sunny place to sit down, took out a piece of pancake and ate it.

An hour later, there were officials and guards from the government who came to arrange the security around the execution ground, but he couldn't tell which yamen those people belonged to, just looking at this situation, Gao Bishan's determination and attention to Pei Chen can be seen.

A servant walked towards Zhang Xiaopan and shouted.

"Where did the little flower come from, the execution ground left quickly, so as not to obstruct the eyes of the prisoner." As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and touch the beautiful wooden sword beside Zhang Xiaopan.

Zhang Xiaopan turned around and pressed the sword under him, and said, "Lord Governor, this is a small wooden sword for play, are adults also interested in children's toys?" ”

Seeing Zhang Xiaopan say this, the official looked disdainful: "Go, go!" Get out of the way with your, and don't let me see you again. ”

Zhang Xiaopan picked up the wooden sword and walked aside, but he didn't go far and stopped again, and found a corner to sit down.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaopan had not gone far, the official stepped forward again.

"You little flower, you can't understand what I'm saying, right? Do you want to go to my prison to taste it? ”

Zhang Xiaopan put on a harmless smile and said, "Big brother, I haven't seen a beheading when I'm so big, don't you want to join in the fun?" But if the eldest brother wants me to eat in prison, then I have to thank the eldest brother, so that I don't have to sleep outside the wind. ”

The official also couldn't do anything about Zhang Xiaopan, after all, what Zhang Xiaopan said was right, and besides, this little flower would not pose any threat to the execution at noon, so he said: "Then you can listen well, you will find a corner and stay quietly, don't run blindly to block the master." ”

Xiao Pan hurriedly weighed it, and then sat quietly in the corner of the wall and waited for three o'clock in the afternoon.

It was a while, there was a sound of horses' hooves and wheels from the street, Xiao Pan raised his eyes, a bunch of people and horses in armor sat in front, followed by two official sedan chairs, behind the sedan chair is still a team of armor guards, as these people gradually walked into the execution ground, stopped on the side of the execution ground, the guards lifted the sedan curtain, and walked out of the official sedan chair with two fat brains.

The two men walked straight up to the prison and sat down. The man in the blue official uniform shouted downward, "Escort the prisoners in!" ”

I saw a group of people coming from the road they had just entered, and the people escorting the prisoner cart and the surrounding guards were not the same people, but Zhang Xiaopan could tell that it was the people from the criminal department who escorted the prisoner cart, and most of the guards were from Gao Bishan.

The prisoner car came to the sidelines and stopped, Zhang Xiaopan saw clearly that the person in the car was Pei Chen at this time, but he had been tortured so that he couldn't see the person clearly, Zhang Xiaopan couldn't hide the emotions in his heart, tears fell instantly, his teeth were clenched, and he wanted to rush up and rob people now, but he still endured it, after all, this is not the best time, not to mention the trap of the prison car chain.

As Pei Chen was sent to Xingtai, the hour was already noon, and he would be beheaded in three minutes.

The official on the beheading platform watched the people gather around him, and knew that the time was almost up, so he turned to the person next to him and asked, and after receiving the answer, he read out the trumped-up charge aloud.

At this time, Pei Chen saw Zhang Xiaopan in the corner from the afterglow that only showed a crack, so he shook his head vigorously at Zhang Xiaopan, because Pei Chen knew Zhang Xiaopan's personality and would definitely make a big fuss at the execution ground to save himself, but in the end, both of them would fall here.

The process has gone down, and the time has come.

The prison officer said again: "Today, there is an old criminal remnant Pei Chen, this official and Master Gao were ordered to be beheaded, and now the time has come, and the execution will be carried out!" ”

With a sound of execution, the executioner picked up the guillotine and sprayed a sip of wine, wiped it with a red cloth, combed the hair on the back of Pei Chen's neck, and then spat on the palm of his hand, holding the handle of the knife and about to cut it down towards Pei Chen.

Gao Bishan looked at this scene with a smug look in his eyes, and a lewd smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The executioner fell with a knife, and everyone wanted to see the excitement, but at this time, they closed their eyes and didn't dare to look at it.

An "ah" came, and everyone thought that Pei Chen's head had fallen to the ground, and then they opened their eyes and looked at Xingtai, but the results they saw surprised the people in the audience, and the officers and soldiers on the stage were in a mess.

I saw that Pei Chen was safe and sound, but the executioner spat blood and fell aside.

A red wooden sword was firmly inserted on the ground beside Pei Chen, but no one drew the sword.

And the official who had fought with Zhang Xiaopan before saw this sword, his heart trembled, and he thought of the little flower with a hippie smile, and then looked towards the corner of the wall, Zhang Xiaopan had already gotten up at this time and was slowly approaching Xingtai.

The official shouted: "It's him, it's the little flower!" ”

Pei Chen looked at the wooden sword fairy beside him, and then thought of Zhang Xiaopan, and couldn't help but burst into tears from the bloodstained eyes, raised his head vigorously, and looked towards Zhang Xiaopan.

Zhang Xiaopan's eyes were firm, and a group of guards and servants were surrounding Zhang Xiaopan, and the people who were watching the excitement just now saw this, and they scattered one after another, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Xiaopan was also surrounded by the group, Gao Bishan and others looked at Zhang Xiaopan's appearance, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised, a little flower with an unattractive appearance dared to come to rob the law field, it was really unbelievable.

With the order of the prison officer who claimed to be the squire of the Criminal Department, those who surrounded Zhang Xiaopan began to move, but Zhang Xiaopan was not in a hurry, stretched out his hand and pointed at the wooden sword Qi Xian, only to see that the wooden sword that was originally firmly inserted next to Pei Chen trembled for a while, and actually flew towards Zhang Xiaopan and fell into Zhang Xiaopan's hands.

Everyone was a little surprised, and they just thought that a little flower could have any ability, so they dispelled their doubts and rushed up like crazy.

Zhang Xiaopan said that it was too late, and when he swung his sword, a powerful sword intent exuded a red color like a fairy and struck in front of him, and everywhere the sword intent went, there was blood and flesh flying, and there was a wail.

Only then did everyone know that they had underestimated the little flower in front of them, and this little flower was actually a master of swordsmanship.

Pei Chen saw that Zhang Xiaopan could make such progress in a short period of time, and he felt a little happy in his heart, but he was more worried, after all, at this time, Zhang Xiaopan was only dealing with the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the government, but the masters of the Jade Sword Gate in Gaobi Mountain had not yet appeared, and they must be hiding in the dark, and Zhang Xiaopan's cultivation at this time would definitely suffer.

Seeing Zhang Xiaopan's incomparably powerful sword intent, no one dared to stop him, Zhang Xiaopan went straight to Pei Chen's side, broke the anklets and ropes that bound Pei Chen, and pulled out the hook on Pei Chen's pipa bone, Pei Chen spit out a mouthful of blood, and his face was extremely pale.

"Xiao Pan, you are too stupid, you know that the impossible thing is coming, and your master doesn't care about you?"

Zhang Xiaopan was a little embarrassed, but still said: "Brother Pei, Xiao Pan knows that it is not easy, but Xiao Pan has to come, Master's matter, if we can get out today, I will inform Brother Pei." ”

Only then did Pei Chen realize that Zhang Xiaopan might have sneaked out behind Li Chouxin's back, but he didn't ask any more, the matter had come to this point, and he just hoped that Xiaopan could save his life.

At this time, there were more and more guards and servants around the periphery, and the situation could not be delayed.

Zhang Xiaopan asked, "Brother Pei, can you still go by yourself?" ”

Pei Chen nodded and said, "This injury is nothing, there is no obstacle to walking, it's just that it is difficult to use all your skills at the moment." ”

Zhang Xiaopan said like an adult: "Brother Pei, then you will follow Xiao Pan, and Xiao Pan will lead you out of a bloody road." ”

Zhang Xiaopan was about to rush to kill with Pei Chen, but Gao Bishan, who had not spoken on the stage, spoke at this time.

"Xiao Zhaohua, if you put down the sword in your hand today, our family may be able to spare your life, but this Pei Chen will definitely die today."

Zhang Xiaopan smiled: "Old gelding, although I, Zhang Xiaopan, am young, I also know etiquette, righteousness and shame, and I also know what is right and wrong, if I were the person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I would not be here today." ”

A sword was swung out, and the sword intent went towards the two people on the prison beheading platform, only to see those iron guards stepped forward to resist, but they were still torn apart by the sword intent, and the armor on their bodies did not work at all at the moment, but due to the large number of people, this sword was still blocked in the place where there were four or five people in front of Gao Bishan.

Gao Bishan was frightened, he didn't expect this sword intent to be so unfathomable, he didn't dare to be careless, and then ordered people to surround him and order others to continue to fight against Zhang Xiaopan and the others.

Zhang Xiaopan no longer hesitated, a sword kept swinging out day by day, and the execution ground was suddenly bloody, the dead were torn apart, and the ones who didn't die were also missing arms and legs, and the scene was once very terrifying.

"Protect your lordship! Protect your adults! The squire of the criminal department could only keep shouting beside Gao Bishan, although Gao Bishan was frightened, he did not lose his manners.

And the master of the Jade Sword Sect in the shadows saw that Gao Bishan had not given an order for a long time, so he could only continue to lurk, but watching Zhang Xiaopan fight wantonly, it was still a little difficult to hold back in his heart.

In a moment, more than half of those ironclad guards and servants had been killed and wounded, but they had not injured a single hair beard of Zhang Xiaopan.

Gao Bishan saw that the time was almost up, and with a look, the people of the Jade Sword Sect flew out from all around and landed around Zhang Xiaopan.

Seeing this, Pei Chen hurriedly said to Zhang Xiaopan: "Be careful of their sword formation, this sword formation originally had twenty-eight swords, but I have cut off fifteen swords, although there are only thirteen swords left, but it is careless." ”

When Pei Chen reminded Zhang Xiaopan, Yu Zhenzi, the head of the Jade Sword Sect, had slowly fallen beside Gao Bishan, Pei Chen's eyes were shocked, and he said: "Xiao Pan, especially be careful of that person, that is the head of the Jade Sword Sect." ”

Gao Bishan said at this time: "Pei Chen, Xiao Zhaohua, you are destined to not be able to escape from this place today, if you know each other, you will be arrested, and our family can still leave you and wait for a whole corpse." ”

Zhang Xiaopan ignored Gao Bishan and swung a sword directly at one of the thirteen people, although the person was shocked back, the sword was still taken.

Gao Bishan saw that the two refused to restrain their hands, and directly ordered to attack and kill.

The thirteen sword sword array was activated, although the power was greatly reduced, but it was still tricky, I saw that between the rotation of the sword array, there were people constantly attacking Zhang Xiaopan, the speed was so fast, the subtlety of the moves, it was almost difficult for Zhang Xiaopan to parry, and he could only keep defending with the sword, and he couldn't swing the sword for a long time.

Pei Chen asked: "Xiao Pan, don't entangle with them, I'm afraid of accidents, then Yu Zhenzi is still eyeing them." ”

Zhang Xiaopan listened to Pei Chen's words and said to everyone: "Since you can block my sword, then try my second sword." ”

"What? And a sword? This little flower is really unseemly, interesting, and the old man is a little curious. Yu Zhenzi on the stage said in a low voice.

Zhang Xiaopan repelled the attack, jumped hard with one foot on the ground, flew into the air, looked at the thirteen people on the ground, and swung a sword, the sword instantly turned into three thousand sword shadows and went towards the thirteen people, everyone on the field, including Nayu Zhenzi, was shocked by this sword, and everyone had never seen such a majestic and domineering sword move.

Each sword shadow has supreme true intent and domineering might, although the thirteen swords can still resist at the beginning, but only thirteen people are the opponent of the three thousand sword shadows, in an instant, they were all penetrated by these infinite sword intent, and none of them were spared from death on the ground.

Zhang Xiaopan fell to the ground and said, "Brother Pei, you cut off fifteen swords, and today Xiao Pan also slashed thirteen swords, but he is about to catch up with you." ”

Pei Chen didn't know whether to be happy or worried at this time, he was both pleased with Xiaopan's achievements today and worried about today's predicament, and he really didn't know how to answer.

"Bold! Dare to kill my people, take your life! Yu Zhenzi jumped off the stage with a shock and stopped in front of Pei Chen and Zhang Xiaopan, who were about to leave.

"Old man! Why are you going to stop me in my way? ”

Hearing Zhang Xiaopan call himself like this, Yu Zhenzi was furious, "You are not ashamed of your words, do you think you can sit back and relax by killing the thirteen swords?" It's too ignorant of the heavens and the earth, so let the deity teach you a lesson today. ”

"Old man, you're talking too much!"

Yu Zhenzi was even more furious, and he struck at Zhang Xiaopan with his long sword, although Zhang Xiaopan had a domineering sword intent and true qi, but it was difficult to perform in Yu Zhenzi's lightning-fast attack, and he could only continue to be tired of coping.

Zhang Xiaopan understood what Pei Chen said, he didn't expect that this old man really had two brushes, no wonder Brother Pei would be caught by them, but at the moment, he couldn't use his sword moves, otherwise he might be able to fight.

Just when Zhang Xiaopan was distracted, Yu Zhenzi stabbed Zhang Xiaopan on the arm with a sword, and knocked Zhang Xiaopan back with another palm.

Zhang Xiaopan knelt on the ground on one leg, supporting his body with a wooden sword, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth.

"Xiao Zhaohua, you were arrogant just now, why don't you use your sword moves?" After Yu Zhenzi finished speaking, he didn't plan to give Zhang Xiaopan a chance to breathe, after all, if Zhang Xiaopan used that terrifying sword move again, he was not sure that he would be able to take it, so he stabbed towards Zhang Xiaopan.

Zhang Xiaopan got up at this time, but it was too late, and he saw that the sword was about to pierce Zhang Xiaopan's chest.

Zhang Xiaopan glanced at Pei Chen, then closed his eyes with a smile, Pei Chen's eyes also widened at this time, looking at the long sword that was approaching inch by inch.

With a bang, the sword in Yu Zhenzi's hand fell to the ground, only two or three inches away from Zhang Xiaopan, Zhang Xiaopan opened his eyes, only to see a familiar sword blocking in front of him, it was actually the master's three feet three.

"Old man, my disciple, how dare you deceive him?"

A deep voice came from a high place, and everyone looked over, only to see a man in white falling from the sky and landing directly beside Zhang Xiaopan.

"Stinky boy, I'll settle this account with you when I go back."

It was Li Chouxin who spoke.

The old man looked at the young Li Chouxin, shocked by the power of the sword that had just blocked him, and he didn't dare to despise it, and said politely: "Who is Your Excellency?" Although Your Excellency's swordsmanship is superb, but at this time, you can't take so many of us seriously, right? I thought this little flower was crazy enough, but I didn't expect you to be crazier than him. ”

"Old man, didn't my apprentice tell you that you talked too much?" Li Chou squinted at Yu Zhenzi.

Yu Zhenzi also knew that he could only bite the bullet at this time, and then kicked the sword on the ground and held it in his hand, and was about to attack Li Chouxin.

But no matter how Yu Zhenzi hit the long sword, he could be easily dodged by Li Chouxin, and the three feet three in his hand had never made a sword.

This can make Zhang Xiaopan stunned.

Li Chou's heart flashed and said to Zhang Xiaopan: "Did you see it? Silly boy, this is the real magic of the introductory trick, what are these Jade Sword Sects. ”

Yu Zhenzi saw that Li Chouxin did not forget to instruct his apprentice at this moment, but he did not take himself in his eyes so much, and launched an offensive more quickly, but no matter how fast Yu Zhenzi's sword was, Li Chouxin could dodge him one step faster, which made Yu Zhenzi angry.

Li Chouxin also took advantage of the situation to force Yu Zhenzi back, overriding the air, and said: "Old man, you have been playing for so long, now it's my turn, right?" See if you can take my sword? ”

Li Chouxin said and waved a sword, this sword fused the Qinglian Qi Transformation Technique and the Flying Elephant Technique in one sword, and the power emitted was dozens of times stronger than that of Zhang Xiaopan, Yu Zhenzi looked at this and Zhang Xiaopan's swing was almost the same, even his own disciples could catch it, and he could catch it, but he didn't know that he underestimated the power of this sword, and directly swung a sword to block it.

I saw the two sword intents going towards each other, on the surface, they were equal, but the moment the sword intent collided, Yu Zhenzi was stunned in place, and the sword he swung out had no power to parry under Li Chouxin's sword, and the powerful sword intent swept with supreme domineering power with a devastating momentum, and it was about to split on himself, so he hurriedly lifted the long sword to block.

But this sword is too strong, Yu Zhenzi tried his best to block it, but his hands also shook, only to see the thousand-year-old cold iron forged long sword in his hand shattered into slag, and his hands were also shocked to the point that the blood vessels burst out, as if they were about to be broken, and his body also retreated more than a foot or two, and then the blood and qi surged, and it was a mouthful of thick blood.

"How so? This sword is obviously no different from the little flower, why is it so powerful? Yu Zhenzi secretly exclaimed in his heart.

Li Chouxin said: "Old man, yes, I can barely stop this sword, then I have to do my best, let's take another sword." ”

"What? A sword just now is not full force? ”

The people present were amazed, obviously the sword just now was already shocking, but it was not a full blow, except for Pei Chen and Zhang Xiaopan, the rest of the people looked at the white-clothed young man holding a long sword in horror.

Li Chouxin didn't talk nonsense, and directly went out with all his strength to make another sword, which was still the same as the move just now, but it was obvious that this sword was better than the sword just now.

Yu Zhenzi knew that he couldn't carry this sword no matter what, but he had to carry it hard, turning his true qi into a protective shield, trying to resist it.

However, when this sword arrived, the true qi cover was useless, and it broke when it was touched, and the jade true son was shocked to ashes before he even had time to shout, and there was no scum left.

When everyone saw this, they were all shocked, and they all regarded Li Chouxin as a monster.

Only Pei Chen and Zhang Xiaopan seriously appreciated this earth-shattering scene of crying ghosts and gods, Pei Chen said to Zhang Xiaopan: "It seems that your master is now better than Brother Pei and me." ”

At this time, Zhang Xiaopan also recovered a little and looked towards the prison platform.

At this look, everyone on the stage retreated in fear, squeezing Gao Bishan and the squire of the Criminal Department who were surrounded in the middle.

Gao Bishan never thought that there was someone in this world who was more advanced than Pei Chen's swordsmanship, and a sense of despair swept through his body, and cold sweat broke out.

Zhang Xiaopan didn't give them too many chances, and killed them towards the prison beheading platform, and all the guards around him died on the spot.

Zhang Xiaopan grabbed Gao Bishan and threw it towards Pei Chen, ignoring the squire of the criminal department who was sitting on the side.

Zhang Xiaopan returned to Pei Chen's side, handed the Qi Immortal to Pei Chen, and said, "Brother Pei, this Qi Immortal is yours, and today you can use it to settle everything." ”

Gao Bishan lay in front of Pei Chen in embarrassment at this time, constantly begging for mercy.

Pei Chen took the immortal, did not answer, looked at Gao Bishan coldly, and then passed through his chest with a sword, and Gao Bishan died instantly.

It was also at this time that the Praetorian Guards in Kyoto rushed over, and the three of them did not have time to hesitate when they saw this, and headed towards the intersection of the three autumn guards, and left quickly before the Praetorian Guards arrived.

The news spread in an instant.

"A sword hoe rape, the world's luck!" The news of Gao Bishan's death has become a topic of conversation among people in the market after dinner, and they are very happy.

In the court, the emperor was furious and shocked, but under the persuasion of the ministers, he only issued a sea fishing document and did not do anything further.

And Li Chouxin returned to the courtyard, glad that Qin Yin and Se Yu had not left, and after settling Pei Chen to heal his injuries, Li Chouxin and Qin Yin Se Yu called Zhang Xiaopan, knelt in the courtyard and began to preach.

However, Zhang Xiaopan was happy in his heart, no matter how the master and his mother scolded him, he only felt extremely warm at the moment.

Pei Chen listened to everything outside in the house, and was very relieved in his heart, and also sighed: "After this sword, the situation in Kyoto and even the world will start to turbulent again!" ”
