Chapter 314: The Scarlet Execution Ground
That night, there was a flurry of chickens and dogs jumping in Jincheng, and soldiers sent by Xue Ju were everywhere, searching from house to house for the Assassin's traces. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since Li Jiancheng and Zhang Tongxuan were masked at that time, Xue Ju didn't know who the assassin was at first. However, to have such a powerful skill, people who are still in Jincheng, thinking about it, are only a few palms. It just so happened that Li Jiancheng and the others had just arrived in Jincheng, so they naturally became the biggest suspects.
Fortunately, Li Jiancheng and Zhang Tongxuan also knew that it would be troublesome to sneak back to the inn now, so they didn't go back immediately. The soldiers sent out by Xue Ju pounced and confirmed the suspicion of the two of them, but it was difficult to explain if they didn't catch anyone back, so they could only turn their eyes to all the other places where they could hide people.
However, this made the people of Jincheng very uncomfortable. These ruffians, if they just search for people, it's easy to say, but they are greedy and lustful, and they don't do less when they see any good things. Fortunately, there is not enough time for them to commit murder, and the urging is tight, otherwise it is estimated that their daughters-in-law and daughters will inevitably be poisoned by them!
And those civil and military ministers, generals in the army, did not escape this big cleanup. Many officials and generals who had surrendered from the Great Sui were arrested by Xue Ju's henchmen. Li Jiancheng's uncles, only a lot more, none of them were served by Xue Julian, and they were pressed to the execution ground early the next morning to be beheaded, obviously trying to force Li Jiancheng to show up with their lives.
This trick is very poisonous, will Li Jiancheng appear?
At a quarter of noon, the sun was raging. In two quarters of an hour, these officials and generals will be beheaded.
Xue Ju personally supervised the beheading, and sat quietly on the beheading platform with his eyes closed, waiting for that moment to come. And accompanied by him, it was his parents and son, Xue Rengao, who had returned from Jiuhua Mountain to practice qi and cultivate truth, and who was known as the "No. 1 fierce general of Western Qin"!
I saw that Xue Rengao was introverted, his momentum was deep, and he stood beside Xue Ju with his head down, without a trace of the domineering that a military general should have, and he had already practiced to the innate realm of returning to the basics, and he could compete with the cultivators of the Jindan period.
Although Xue Ju closed his eyes, he was feeling the situation around him all the time.
Xue Ju is also a martial artist, and he has reached the realm of the peak of the day after tomorrow. Although the skills are incomparable with those real masters, in the acre of three-point land in Longyou, it is enough to be the king.
Xue Ju's true qi turned into an invisible net, enveloping the execution ground, monitoring everyone's reactions.
The military generals who are waiting to be beheaded, the people who watch the beheading are reckless, and there are ...... Beheaded his son!
Because of the previous assassination, Xue Ju was "killed", and the ministers wholeheartedly supported Xue Rengao's accession to the throne. This made Xue Ju suspicious of his most proud son. But with the current state of being a soldier, Xue Ju suddenly found that the only person he could trust was this son who was so good that he felt jealous.
Fortunately, Xue Rengao is his own son, as long as he waits for a hundred years, he can take the throne as a matter of course, as long as he is not in a hurry, he can wait. As long as he's not in a hurry......
"It's three o'clock in the afternoon!" a loud time signal brought Xue Ju back to reality from his contemplation.
Xue Ju slowly opened his eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly. Li Jiancheng also seems to be a ruthless and unrighteous person, and he can actually watch his loyal subordinates die because of him. This trip was in vain!
However, it's not that there is no gain, at least these "rats" in Longyou have been cleaned up by him!
"Since the time is up, let's cut it!" Xue Ju didn't wait for the person he wanted to see, he felt a little bored, threw down a fire lottery, and said meaningfully.
The executioner received the order, raised the big knife in his hand and was about to cut off the heads of those high-ranking officials and generals who were usually high.
Seeing that hundreds of heads were about to fall to the ground, the execution ground was about to be soaked in red blood. Suddenly, two rays of lightning quickly bypassed around the many executioners, and only a chaotic sound of "Ding Lingdang" was heard, and the knives in the hands of those executioners had already fallen to the ground.
Everyone was shocked, and Xue Rengao suddenly burst out, protecting Xue Ju's body, looking at the two lightning-fast figures with a nervous expression.
However, Xue Ju's face showed a playful smile, he waved his hand, motioned for everyone to step back, walked forward in person, and said to them: "You are finally here! This king has been waiting for you for a long time!"
After a period of chaos, the executioners fled the execution ground, and the ropes on the backs of the ministers of civil and military affairs, who thought they would not escape, were broken. Having regained their freedom, they couldn't adapt to the change of situation for a while, so they stood up blankly and stepped aside, not knowing what to do.
But it's not that simple. Xue Ju, who had been in ambush for a long time, rushed up and surrounded everyone on the execution ground, including the two young men who saved people.
"Xue Ju Lao'er, you actually carry out such beastly behavior, how can you be called this "Overlord of Qinxi"?"
Li Jiancheng's expression was calm, he couldn't see any expression, and he was not afraid to look at Xue Ju, and he was not moved by the danger in front of him at all. But Zhang Tongxuan, who has been with Li Jiancheng for several months, knows that the current Li Jiancheng is the most terrifying.
"Otherwise, how can you meet the famous "Son of Destiny"! Li Gongzi, you have come to Longyou, as the master of this king, how can you not entertain yourself?" Xue Ju's eyes showed a bit of scrutiny, and the mockery did not dissipate.
In fact, Li Jiancheng and Zhang Tongxuan had already arrived at the execution ground, but Li Jiancheng had been dragged by Zhang Tongxuan to prevent him from going out.
They killed the wrong person last night, the mission has failed, and it will be in vain to fight again. Moreover, Xue Ju put on such an obvious formation, obviously with bad intentions, they bumped into it headlong, and they just fell into Xue Ju's trap.
But Xue Ju, an old and cunning old fox, is extremely vicious in his methods, and it is an upright conspiracy. He just wants to use these people to lure Li Jiancheng to take the initiative to appear, he is betting that Li Jiancheng has not yet become a hard-hearted hero, and he will take risks for his subordinates alone.
Zhang Tongxuan still couldn't hold Li Jiancheng in the end, so he could only reluctantly follow in to save people.
Facts have proved that they did not think of Xue Ju wrong. This old fox has already prepared a foolproof plan. No matter how strong a person is, as long as he does not have an immortal body, he is just a mortal, and he will not be able to escape birth, old age, sickness and death, and he will also be injured and bleed. What's more, both of them are fledglings, and their highest cultivation is only the late stage of Zhang Tongxuan's foundation building.
Facing hundreds of times more enemies, Zhang Tongxuan and Li Jiancheng will also feel a very oppressive feeling.
Are they going to die here today?
