Chapter 126: Dog Eats Dog
At noon the next day, the street that should have been empty was now full of people, and the people put down what they were doing and gathered around to chatter endlessly.
"Get out of the way, the prisoner van is coming!"
I don't know who shouted, and the crowd dispersed, leaving a wide street.
The prisoner cart swayed and drove slowly, and the war king sat cross-legged on the board with his hair scattered and his chin flushed, looking indifferent, as if it was not himself who was about to be beheaded.
At the same time, there were figures on the second floor of the inns on both sides, and a gap was opened in the window, and crossbow arrows were set up, and arrows pointed directly at the prisoner cart.
The cart stopped, and the officers and soldiers at the front took out the holy decree from the saddle bag, cleared their throats, and read as such, "The emperor's personal order, the war prince Yuandi, the heart of the jackal, forgetting the emperor's grace, intentionally rebelling, my heart is very painful, I think of brotherhood, and my family is abolished as commoners and exiled for thousands of miles." ”
Hearing this, the war king lowered his head, but he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Between royals, what kind of family affection is there?
After the officers and soldiers read out the holy decree, they raised their hands and waved their heads behind them, "Set up the guillotine, execute!" ”
As soon as the words landed, more than a dozen masked strong men in the crowd flew up, holding sharp knives, and flew towards the prisoner car.
"Be careful, someone has a carjacking!" The officers and soldiers roared angrily, and the scene was instantly chaotic.
Hearing the sound, the war king hooked the corners of his lips imperceptibly, raised his head to look at the street, but met a pair of familiar eyes.
The people all scattered and fled for their lives, but Fang Lan did not move, raised his eyes to look at him, there was an indescribable coolness in his eyes, and even some mockery.
The War King's eyes flashed, and he saw the woman standing beside her.
It turned out to be Xunfang!
The war king sat up straight, a pair of eagle eyes staring at the two women opposite, with undisguised killing intent in his eyes.
They have known each other for a long time, and they were actually teased by two women!
The hand holding the prisoner's cart slowly tightened, and before he could make a move, the street suddenly sounded with the sound of breaking the air, and in an instant, several crossbow arrows shot out from both sides, pointing straight into his heart.
Before the War King could even get up and resist, he collapsed on the car board, his head still facing Fang Lan's position, his body twitched uncontrollably twice, and he just lost his breath.
He never closed his eyes until he died.
When the carjackers heard the movement, they looked distractedly, and saw that the king of war was lying in a pool of blood, covered with arrow feathers, and immediately panicked, and was about to retreat, but was blocked by the officers and soldiers who surrounded him.
"Take down all these gangsters and detain the government for the time being!"
When the farce ended, Fang Lan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, slowly closed his eyes, and his waist, which had been upright, softened.
Xun Fang held her arm and said softly, "I didn't expect Yuan Di to fall into such a situation, and there are still people who are willing to take the risk to save him." ”
Fang Lan held her hand and shook his head slowly, "You and I both know that he can't live." ”
"I know the result, but I have to come and see it." Xun Fang bit her lower lip and said in a low voice, "Miss still has feelings for him?" ”
"There is no emotion, only liberation." Fang Lan chuckled, looked up at the sky, and said quietly, "The deep love of youth has completely come to naught, and in the future, no one can trap me anymore." ”
Xun Fang lowered her eyes and whispered, "Didn't Miss say yesterday that she wanted to eat sugar cakes?" Let's go home quickly, and I'll go and make the young lady pancakes. ”
Fang Lan smiled at the corner of his mouth and answered softly, "Okay, go home." ”

"Ma'am." Su Zi trotted all the way, and when he came to Fang Xu, he couldn't breathe.
"It's rare to see you lose your proportion." Fang Xu pinched a piece of walnut cake and looked her up and down, "What can make you so impatient?" ”
Su Zi took a breath, looked around cautiously, and saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so he leaned over to the side of Fang Xu's ear and whispered, "There is an echo of what Madame arranged for Qingli to do." ”
When Fang Xu heard this, he threw away the walnut cake in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face, "Really? ”
Su Zi nodded and said softly, "The slave gave the incense that Bai Ji bought to Qingli, and she lit the incense in Princess Duanyang's house according to the plan. ”
"I heard Qingli say that last night, Princess Duanyang summoned eleven guards, and her voice was not interrupted until dawn." Su Zi pursed her lips, and her little face flushed.
"Princess Duanyang held a banquet today, and invited many officials and ladies to enter the house, Qingli intended to publicize this matter, those official wives are better than one another, follow and see, and listen to the unbearable voice!"
Fang Xu held his chin, gently hooked the corner of his lower lip, and said in a low voice, "Listen to Qingli said that her mother was humiliated by Duanyang's subordinates several times before she died, and today, I want her to taste this too." ”
"By the way, madam," Su Zi thought of something, took out a jade pendant from his bosom, and put it on the table, "When Bai He disguised himself to save Qingli, they went to the study to steal this while no one was around. ”
"This is ......" Fang Xu lowered his eyes, looking at the name engraved on the jade pendant, his eyes became deep, "Duanyang's jade order?" ”
"That's right." Su Zi nodded, "Qingli said, seeing this jade order is like seeing the princess herself." ”
Fang Xu picked up the jade pendant and played with it in his hand, the smile on the corner of his mouth widened, "This is really ...... If God helps. ”
"Madam, the princess's mansion is in turmoil right now, and the reputation of the eldest princess is completely bad in Beijing, and there are rumors that the guards in the palace are secretly male pets raised by Princess Duanyang."
Su Zi lowered his voice, "If such a big thing happens, presumably the eldest princess should have stopped eating now, and she doesn't have the heart to trouble us because of the land repossession." ”
"Do you understand the truth that the first strike is strong, and then the first attack suffers?" Fang Xu shook the jade order in his hand, and his voice was soft, "If you wait until she is resurrected with full blood, won't it be more troublesome?" ”
Su Zi's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Madame means ......"
Fang Xu clenched the jade order, his voice was like honey, but his words were like knives, "Naturally, I took advantage of her illness to kill her!" ”
"Ma'am." Bai Ji pushed the door into the courtyard with a solemn expression, "Qingli has been arranged to enter the Langyun Hall, everything is cleaned up, and the other ...... The war lord is dead. ”
"Dead?" Fang Xu's eyebrows jumped, and he said softly, "Didn't anyone carjack the car?" ”
"There's a group of people who look like they're here to carjack." Bai Ji steadied his breath and said in a low voice, "But there are crossbow arrows at the corner of the street, and before the gang got close to the prisoner car, the Zhan Wang Ye was killed by random arrows." ”
Fang Xu lowered his eyelids, and there was a little consideration in his heart, "It should be Yuan Chen's hand, he won't let the War King leave alive." ”
Suddenly, a plan came to mind, and Fang Xu's eyes lit up.
"Bai Ji," Fang Xu pushed the jade order in front of her and said softly, "Use some methods to let this thing and the crossbow arrow appear in front of Yu Chiwei together." ”
"Wei Chi ......" Bai Ji paused, "Wei Chi Shilang of the military department? ”
"That's right." Fang Xu hooked the corners of his lips, and his fingertips knocked on the table one after another, "Yu Chiwei is the person of the king of war, and he is desperate for it, this carjacking failed, he must be annoyed and angry, and he will definitely investigate." ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to have a dog-eat-dog show?"
