Chapter 44: Falling short

"Damn, to be so presumptuous, then don't blame us for being ruthless!" said a tall man with a sword among the Seven Saints of Star Swirl.

Immediately after, ten thousand swords in the sky shot towards the black-clothed He Jing, "Boom, boom!"

He Jing, who was clothed in black, smiled, she picked up the flute and played it, only to see the sword rain falling suddenly! Her body turned into a black mist and spread, and after the black mist dissipated, He Jing's figure suddenly disappeared, and the seven saints leaned together, and everyone looked left and right vigilantly to find He Jing's whereabouts.

"Hehehe, is that what you can do?"

At this moment, a black sphere suddenly appeared behind the Seven Saints, and by the time they reacted, it was too late.

"It's not good!"

I saw that the seven of them were sucked inside by the powerful suction emanating from the black sphere.

"Ahh

"Damn, what the hell is this, it's going to be sucked in. "One of the Sword Sects clung to a tree, but eventually he was physically exhausted and sucked into it along with the other Sword Sects.

Then He Jing, who was standing condescendingly on the roof, played a flute and said, "Hehehe, fall into the dark abyss!"

Immediately after that, the black sphere exploded, and the Seven Holy Sword Sect was violently knocked to the ground in all directions by the powerful impact force.

One of the men tried to pick up the sword on the ground, but found that he was too physically strong to stand up and could only lie on the ground.

"Tsk...... Damn! was put on a ......."

Immediately afterwards, the Seven Swords Sect fainted and fell to the ground, losing its ability to fight.

At this time, the black mist on He Jing's body dissipated and changed back to its original appearance, and another He Jing said to her in her ear: "Go to the execution ground quickly!

“...... Thank you......" He Jing dragged her weak body and continued to move towards the square.

She thought worriedly as she ran: "Sister, don't be afraid that my sister will come to save you......"

At this time, after Xing Yuxiang and Yege on the other side told the three princes about Qiu Yuanxue's grievances, the three princes frowned and thought for a while, and then he informed a general on horseback beside him: "Quick! Take my token and go to the execution ground to stop the execution." ”

"Yes. ”

In this way, after the general received the token of the third prince, he quickly ran towards the direction of the execution ground.

Xing Yuxiang and Yege's hanging hearts finally relaxed, and the two of them bowed deeply to the three princes and thanked them, and said in unison: "Thank you to the three princes for being kind and saving Miss Qiu from fire and water." ”

"No thanks, if Miss Ruoqiu is really framed by someone as you said, that is, she killed a good person by mistake, although you can rest assured that before the investigation is clear, the court will never kill an innocent person indiscriminately, but it will not let a guilty person go. ”

"Then, if the third prince has nothing else to do, my sister and I will leave first. ”

"It's okay, you guys should go to the execution ground as well. ”

After Xing Yuxiang thanked the third prince, he took his sister and turned around and ran towards the execution ground.

"Great, brother, this snow sister is saved. Night Song said as she ran.

"Let's hurry to the execution ground, I don't know what the situation is over there. ”

At the same time, Lord Liu was a little impatient at the execution ground, he stood up, threw down the order board and shouted, "It's time for execution!"

At this time, Qiu Yuanxue, who was kneeling on the execution ground and pretending to be Tang Yan, closed her eyes, she quietly waited for death to come, and everyone in the audience was talking.

The strong man behind him raised the severed machete, and then, the strong man quickly dropped the knife......

The general on horseback rushed to the execution ground, and he was just about to shout: "Leave people under the sword." Those four words are too late.

I saw that the head of Qiu Yuanxue, who Tang Yan was pretending to be, had been chopped off with a machete by a strong man, blood splashed out, and her head had lost its color of life when it rolled to the ground.

Xing Yuxiang and Night Song shouted in panic.

"Sister Snow, don't......!!!" Yege broke down on her knees and cried.

"Damn...... Miss Qiu doesn't !!" Xing Yuxiang was also grief-stricken, he ran to the execution ground, knelt on the body of Qiu Yuanxue pretended to be the dead Tang Yan, and cried bitterly: "Miss Qiu...... Woo, sorry we're late......"

And at this time, He Jing ran to see the body of Qiu Yuanxue, who had died, and her heart broke down to the extreme, crying bitterly: "Don't !!!" Then she also rushed forward, seeing such a shocking scene, she asked Xing Yuxiang and said: "Xing Yuxiang, you tell me this is not true!!She can't die! She is ......"

He Jing cried and cried, and suddenly she fainted on the ground again with a headache.

At this time, Lord Liu came over and said to Xing Yuxiang: "I think you are the son of General Xingyu, I don't care about you, Qiu Yuanxue, the murderer of the imperial court official, is dead, you should be cautious in making friends in the future, don't make friends with any unclean people, wouldn't it be worthy of your father's spirit in the sky." ”

"It's you, kill Miss Qiu, I will never spare you!!" Xing Yuxiang, who was kneeling on the ground at this time, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth hatefully, he thought that everything he had done before now seemed to be in vain.

Immediately afterwards, Xing Yuxiang suddenly stood up and grabbed Lord Liu's collar and wanted to hit him, at this time, many officers and soldiers beside him surrounded him when they saw that the situation was not good, and pointed at Xing Yuxiang with weapons.

"Xing Yuxiang, let it go! This is the execution ground, and disturbing the execution ground will be locked up in prison!"

Xing Yuxiang looked at the officers and soldiers surrounding him with angry eyes, and had no choice but to let go of his hand, Lord Liu straightened his collar and took the officers and soldiers to evacuate the execution ground first, and then the crowd of onlookers also dispersed one after another.

Xing Yuxiang knelt on the execution ground, he fell into despair, and at this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds and it was pouring rain......

He hugged Qiu Yuanxue's head and cried bitterly, and Yege also stepped forward and leaned his head on Xing Yuxiang's shoulder and cried sadly.

"Sister Xue, what if I didn't have you, my brother and I would be in the future...... Woowoo woo ......"

"Autumn Girl...... I have always had a sentence in my heart that I haven't had time to tell you, how can you ...... like this"

And just when Xing Yuxiang was grieving, he glanced at Qiu Yuanxue's head and found that there was a thin piece of skin on his face on the broken neck, and he couldn't feel the hair of a suspected person when he touched Qiu Yuanxue's hair, but it seemed to be made of a certain material with fake hair.

"Huh...... Don't. Xing Yuxiang immediately wiped away his tears.

He gently peeled off the skin on Qiu Yuanxue's face, and found that under the thin skin was actually the face of another strange woman.

"Hey, brother, who is this woman? This is not Sister Xue. ”

"I don't know...... I suspect that someone may have taken Qiu Yuanxue away before the execution, and this woman actually sacrificed her life to take the blame for her, I really admire ......"

At this time, Yege's originally sad heart relaxed again, she came to He Jing, who had fainted, shook He Jing's shoulder, and said, "Sister He Jing, get up quickly! Good news, Sister Xue, she may not be dead!"

"Hmm?...... Excuse me, just ...... I fainted again. He Jing sat up, and as the rain was getting heavier and heavier, her clothes were already soaked.

"Sister He Jing, Sister Xue, she is not dead!"

"What did you say, and where is she now?"

"I don't know, but this dead woman seems to be willing to take the blame for Miss Qiu. ”

"Whew...... Is...... Great......" He Jing said after calming his mood.

"Hehe, look, I really said it, don't worry, your sister can't die if she dies. At this time, He Jing's voice came to his ears again.

"By the way, Sister He Jing, you said before you fainted, what did you say Sister Xue was?"

"Oh, did I say that?"

He Jing deliberately pretended not to remember and said.

“...... Forgot about it so quickly...... Anyway, the main thing for us now is to find Sister Snow as soon as possible. ”

“...... I don't think it's better to do this, let's wait here for a while, since someone is taking the blame for Miss Qiu, presumably that person shouldn't be able to take her away alone, there must be other people who know about this woman's plan, and it is impossible for her body to be left here like this after she dies, there will definitely be someone from her side who will come to collect the body......"

"Oh, I see, brother means to follow the vine and touch the melon, if someone comes to collect the body, then we can follow that person all the way to find Sister Xue's whereabouts. ”

"Oh, when did my little sister become so smart?" He Jing said with a smile.

At this time, He Jing's heart didn't mention how happy she was, she thought: "Great, my sister is at least alive, no matter who this replacement woman is, I have to thank you in my heart for saving my sister's life." ”

At the same time, in Hongtang Mountain, I saw Tanghu tied to a wooden chair with five flowers, and his mouth was also blocked by a ball of cloth, he struggled desperately to call for help but could only make a fumbled sound in his mouth.

"Mmmm!!mmmm

I saw that Tang Hu had enough strength and suddenly made a loud "touch!!" and saw that the wooden chair was instantly shattered, and the ropes were instantly scattered on the ground, Tang Hu finally broke free of the shackles with great effort, and then he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said: "Tang ...... Rat!"

At this time, Tang Hu was kneeling in the hall of the cottage, and Tang Hu came over angrily and shouted: "Tang Mouse, you bastard!"

As soon as he turned around, he saw Tang Hu go up and kicked him in the chest, and Tang Rat was kicked to the ground on the spot, and then he cried and shouted: "Great boss, everything I have done is for the sake of our brothers and your lives, and I will admit all the consequences if you want to beat or punish you." ”

At this time, Tang Hu didn't listen at all, he grabbed Tang Mouse's collar and asked, "Don't talk nonsense, let me ask you where my sister is?"

The rats were so frightened that they didn't know what to say.

The other brothers present wanted to step forward to dissuade them, but at this time, Tang Hu raised his voice and roared angrily: "Say!! where is my sister and her?!"

"Big boss, your sister has gone west, this is what she meant, before leaving, she asked me to hand over this suicide note to you, and I hope you can take care of her funeral. ”

"What do you say! You mean to say...... My sister she died...... Dead!" Tang Hu's heart was as sad as a knife when he heard this.

Tang Rat knelt on the ground and cried sadly, at this time the angry Tang Hu's face was flushed, he pulled up the treasure knife on the shelf and raised it above his head and said to Tang Mouse: "Tang Mouse, Tang Mouse, you have been with me for ten years, today you actually killed my sister, I don't think you can spare this brute!!"

Everyone present stepped forward one after another, hugged the strong and burly Tanghu to stop his behavior, and persuaded him: "The big boss is calm!"

"The big boss, if you want to kill my cousin rat, I have nothing to say, even if it is to protect the whole brother and your life, I am worth it, my cousin rat's life is picked up by you, and now if you want to kill it, you will ask the big boss to punish it!" said the cousin crying and kneeling in front of the cousin.

Tang Hu was silent in the grief of losing his sister, he threw the treasure knife in his hand on the ground, and then took his sister's suicide note, and said to Tang Mouse: "You get out of me!"

"Great boss, if you want to drive me away, where am I going? Hongtang Mountain is my home. ”

"Where do you go, don't step into Hongtang Mountain for half a step in the future!

Tang Hu reluctantly lowered his head and turned to leave, and Tang Hu said to the brothers standing in the hall: "You are all scattered, what should you do?" ”

After the brothers dispersed, Tang Hu was left alone in the empty hall, and he opened the envelope of his sister's suicide note, and carefully looked at the letter inside, which read:

Brother, when you read this letter, I may no longer be alive.

I have decided to die for Miss Qiu's sin, I feel that death is worth it, and death is glorious.

Although you will never see me again, I will be a little sad in my heart, in order to protect the brothers and brother of the cottage, I made this decision, I'm sorry brother made you sad, after I die, please take my body back and bury it in the garden behind the cottage

So far - Tang Yan

"Sister...... Why are you so stupid! You don't even want your life...... Leave my brother alone...... Woo woo...... "Tang Hu cried out in grief.

At this time, the rain was still falling outside, and then he got up and walked outside, and it was difficult to wash away the pain of losing a loved one in his heart even if the umbrella washed over him.

Subsequently, Tang Hu went down the mountain alone, and he braved the heavy rain to run to the execution ground in the capital, but at this time, he attracted the attention of Xing Yuxiang and Xingyu Yege, He Jing and others who were hiding in the corner with an umbrella.

"Hey, brother, someone's coming. ”

"Be quiet, and don't arouse suspicion. ”

I saw Tang Hu kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly after seeing Tang Yan's corpse, looking up to the sky and roaring.

Then he picked up Tang Yan's corpse and walked on the road with his head, at this time he was already grief-stricken to the extreme, but he didn't notice Xing Yuxiang and Yege He Jing and other people who were quietly following behind him, he cried and said while taking heavy steps: "Sister, brother will take you home......"
