After Shi Lezhi finished reading the text, two executioners also went to the high platform and separated Li Mu. The person on the left was holding a ghost-headed knife in his hand, and there was a thick evil aura faintly exuding from his body. It's not something that just kills a few people. And the person on Li Mu's right only held a porcelain bowl in his hand, which was to catch the first blood gushing out of Li Mu's broken neck after his head was cut off.

There is a saying in Shuzhou that if a vicious prisoner can catch the first blood spurting out of a broken neck after being beheaded, then the soul of this person will never be able to live beyond life. Therefore, every time an execution is carried out, there will be two people, one is the executioner, and the other is the blood catcher.

The two of them stood still in their positions and fell silent.

Li Mu didn't have the slightest reaction to the two of them appearing on the high platform. He just closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he had accepted his fate.

Shi Lezhi finished reading, turned around and returned to Xu Yangyuan, "My lord." Xu Yangyuan looked at the sky and said, "It has always been noon to behead the capital, but now it is only an hour, and there are still two hours to go." ”

Li Qin seemed to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and said, "Enough." Lord Xu, next, please watch a good show. ”

Xu Yangyuan smiled: "Then I'll wait to appreciate it quietly." By the way, Brother Li, did you invite other friends to come? Who are these two empty chairs for?"

Li Qin glanced at it and said with a smile: "Yes, two friends." ”

The execution took place two hours later, which made the crowd who had come here early in the morning a little demoralized. Two hours, one morning, passed. Some retreated, ready to come back later. However, the removal of a group of people did not affect anything. As time went on, there were more and more people down the hillside.

Shen Li and Nu Luo were hidden in the crowd. They struggled to suppress their anxiety and keep themselves waiting. Regarding Li Mu's execution, they had already learned the news more than ten days ago. They originally planned to break into Li's house to rescue Li Mu, but they were stopped by Li Lisi. Li Li led Li Li's people to attack the Li family once, and it was a feint. The result was heavy casualties. Now, with his own remaining manpower, plus Shen Li and Nuluo, how can he break into the Li family?

The news of the Li family's preparation for the execution spread all over the city, but the time was set for half a month later, and this intention was already obvious. It was true that Li Li was placed by his brother, but it was because of her trust in her brother. It's not that she's stupid.

With such an obvious intention, Li Li can also see it. Li Mu entrusted Shen Li and Nu Luo to himself when he left, so he had to ensure the safety of these two. Under Li Lixi's every obstruction, Shen Li and Nu Luo had no impulse after all. The two also accepted the suggestion of a long-term plan.

After all, forcibly breaking into the Li family, even if Nu Luo's poison can come in handy no matter where it is, but if you have to quit after entering the Li family, the risk is too great. Only when Li Mu is made public by the Li family and appears in front of everyone can it be regarded as the right time.

"That person just now said that the execution would be carried out at noon, right? In other words, there are still two hours. Nu Luo counted the time, and then looked at Shen Li. "Sister Shen, when are we going to do it?"

Shen Li looked at Li Mu and said, "It's not time yet." "Why didn't Shen Li want to save Li Mu in her heart? After learning the news, she could be said to be the person who was most worried about Li Mu. This kind of worry made her lose her mind for a while, but fortunately, it was only after Li Lixi's persuasion that she calmed down. Influenced by Li Mu's ears and eyes, she also has her own judgment on seizing the opportunity. Two hours, that's a long time. And now is the time when the Li family is in full swing. How exactly they were arranged, it is not clear to themselves. Let's wait and see.

Little by little, the time passed, and two hours passed by an hour. In this hour, the wind was calm and nothing happened.

On the slope square, everyone is as usual, they should drink tea and drink tea, and they should chat. The crowd down the slope is bustling, but it is very lively. Everyone gathered, and all kinds of rumors came together. Li Mu's identity was also rendered by the Li family. The scandal of the Li family was also mentioned again. It was a scandal denied by the Li family, but the Li family couldn't stop so many people.

"The person who is going to be beheaded today is the bloodline of the Li family's big house. ”

"I heard that it is still related to the Li family. Therefore, the magistrate specially brought him here for execution. ”

"Hey, then the Li family is really not afraid of bad luck, how can anyone kill people at the door. ”

"You don't understand this, right, with the momentum of the Li family, will you be afraid of the bad luck of a human life? On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the God of Wealth will also kill chickens and bleed as a sacrifice, and the Li family will kill such a person, isn't it also a sacrifice?"

"What's that?"

"That's the ugly thing of the Li family, the Li family built it back then, but now it's ugly and not afraid of publicity, killing such a person, doesn't it just show that they hate the rebellion back then?"

"Oh, the people of the Li family were almost dead back then, right? Didn't even the imperial court let them go?"

"Don't laugh. If King Yu hadn't been defeated back then, he would not be a saint today. How much resentment do you say there is in the saints today?"

"Eh, Mr. Bai, be cautious, be cautious. ”

The discussion of the crowd did not stop, and Shen Li felt that his patience was being worn out little by little in this noisy environment.

"Are they so calm?" Meng Tong said boredly.

Wang Ze shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows? But now there is no sign of taking the bait. No one came. ”

"Didn't you get caught in the crowd and the slave surname to investigate?" Meng Tong said strangely, "You didn't find the slightest sign? ”

"Shut up, dwarf. It's not annoying. Qing Rourou showed a bored expression.

"Crazy woman, don't feel uncomfortable at this juncture. Meng Tong didn't let it go at all.

Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Qingyu spoke: "Qingrourou, Meng Tong is right. Now is the time to go, don't feel uncomfortable. ”

"Yo he, you're still threatening me?" Chryo screamed, but after seeing Qingyu's eyes, her shouting voice fell little by little.

Li Qin sat in front of them, looked back and asked, "Qing Worship, have you finished the things I gave you?"

Qing Rourou looked straight at this time and said, "Please rest assured, the young lady's side has strengthened the guards, and she will definitely not be let out today." Now that there are two personal maids watching her, there will be no problem. ”

"Both?" Li Qin said. Qing Rourou replied, "Yes, there is also Aunt Pei watching." ”

Li Qin nodded and said, "Don't relax your spirits, they should still be waiting very cautiously." They have patience, and we have to be more patient. And they said yes, and the head of the house had spoken, and they waited with peace of mind.

Xu Yangyuan was drinking tea on the side, which was the Li family's unique medicinal tea. He waited patiently, without the slightest impatience. His attention now is on Li Mu. The young man had not heard anything since he was escorted. In the face of death, he doesn't cry or make trouble, and he is so calm that he doesn't look like a young man.

"Is it really fearless, or is it a desperate silence?" Xu Yangyuan couldn't figure it out in his heart. He didn't expect that Li Mu was not paying attention to the fact that he would be executed at all now.

It is true that he is in a hurry now, but he is anxious about another thing. Breaking through Dou Yanshan's last ban! This is his only chance to survive in death and win in defeat. However, seeing that the last prohibition is only a thin layer, but this last layer is extremely tough. When Li Mu's qi wheel broke through the first two weights, it had already been sharpened to a very condensed level, and the cutting force brought by the rotation of the air wheel was getting stronger and stronger. However, this is the case, the last prohibition still firmly adheres to the last trace of the position, and does not let Li Mu overstep it. No matter how much Li Mu urged the air wheel, the progress was still as slow as an ant.

And at this moment, a sentence came from Li Mu's ears, "The time has come." This sentence made Li Mu open his eyes suddenly.

Li Qin looked at Li Mu, and still felt a little incredible in his heart. Two hours passed, and there was really no one to save Li Mu. "Li Tan, that evil animal, can he really even see his own son die without saving him?"

Xu Yangyuan asked, "Brother Li, the time has come." Shall we cut or not?"

Li Qin frowned, no one showed up, their game was really difficult to ride. Li Qin hesitated. This was a bait, not that they really wanted to kill Li Mu. Killing Li Mu is a loss of interests for him, for Dou Yanshan, and for Xu Kun, this is not their purpose.

Li Qin looked at Li Mu, and after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and shouted a loud voice with his true qi, "Execution!" Until the last moment, maybe the dust really can't settle. He gave Qingyu a look and decided to take a risk.

Xu Kun, who was hiding elsewhere, was very surprised when he heard Li Qin's order. For him, Li Mu can be used as bait to catch Li Tan, but he can't let him die. He was thinking about whether he should break the contract of the three companies and snatch Li Mu away.

The ghost head knife was unsheathed, and the green jade and pedicle flower were sandwiched between the fingers.

At the bottom of the hillside, a loud roar sounded, "Stop!"

Seeing that Li Mu was really going to die here, Shen Li couldn't hold it anymore. In a fit of rage, she drew her sword, leaped to her feet, and leaped up the hill with a light skill. As soon as she moved, Nu Luo followed. Li Li sighed lightly, there was no way. Today's plan is only to use your hands!

Li Qin sat on the slope and looked at Shen Li and the others who came out of the crowd, feeling a little relieved and a little helpless. "It's a few small fish and insects, but it's finally a harvest. At least I didn't cast this net in vain......"

Xu Yangyuan smiled: "Yes." At least there's a catch. ”
