Volume 1 Plum Blossom Chapter 53 Punishment and Reward

You see, the wall of this imperial capital is ten zhang high, majestic and magnificent, stretching for nearly a hundred miles left and right. Ye Daotian and Gu Zixuan came to the east gate of the imperial capital, and the other three directions were the same as on the east side.

The two stone statues of the green dragon lying in front of the city gate on the east side are vivid, and the eyes with big heads are carved alive. As for the other three directions, although Ye Daotian hadn't seen it, he had roughly figured out what it looked like.

It should be the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu, these four spirits should form a formation, maybe a formation to enhance the national fortune, or a defensive formation. But the strength of the Ji family should not be able to put out such a formation, such a formation alone needs to spend a lot of spirit stones, with the strength of the Ji family, it is still not enough, and only four sects can put out such a formation. Ye Daotian thought in his heart.

"Zixuan, let's go!"

"Well, okay, Childe. In the past two months, Gu Zixuan has also been very aggressive, of course, this is only in front of Ye Daotian. Gu Zixuan took Ye Daotian's arm, looked left and right, and was very happy. It's finally here.

"Stop!" Ye Daotian in front of the door was stopped by the soldiers guarding the door. Not only that, the soldiers on the city tower were all holding their bows, and the tips of the arrows were aimed at Ye Daotian, as if Ye Daotian and the two of them had any strange moves, the arrows would shoot down. Don't underestimate the soldiers on the tower of this city, although they are the cultivation of the ten-fold refining body, but it is not comparable to the two ten-fold refining bodies in Ye Mansion. Even if it is Lao Li Tou, ten people are not the opponent of one person.

"Hehe, this big brother, we are here to participate in the selection of the four sects!" Ye Daotian arched his hand and replied with a smile.

"Hehe, you said you came to participate in the selection, why didn't you come with the elders of the family?" asked the goalkeeper sharply.

Of course, Ye Daotian refused to be frightened by it, and even Gu Zixuan didn't care. Ye Daotian clenched his fists and was about to answer, but a soldier on the city tower didn't know what was going on, and the arrow on the bow shot out instantly. The bow and sword in this soldier's hand are all mortal weapons of a thousand refinements, although they are not top-notch mortal weapons, but they are only under the ten thousand refining weapons, it is conceivable that if this arrow is shot at an unsuspecting person, a hole will definitely be drilled, and even an innate monk will be injured.

The soldier panicked, they held the bow and arrow just for deterrence, as long as the person had no problem with it, they would put it away. But he shot the arrow on the bow of a lost god, and the arrow shot towards Ye Daotian impartially, if Ye Daotian died because of this, he would also be buried.

The soldier was about to cry out, but how fast the arrow was with the help of the bow and bowstring. The soldier just said the word "fast", and the arrow had reached Ye Daotian's head, Ye Dao smiled slightly, and raised his arm, which seemed to be slow but was actually very fast. Two fingers and one clip, the arrow does not advance a minute, and the iron arrow is also intact.

Ye Daotian threw it lightly, and the arrow fell lightly into the quiver. The general guarding the door was also taken aback by this sudden scene, if this arrow really injured or killed Ye Daotian, he would also be implicated, and if he was small, he would be fined, and if he was big, his black gauze hat would be gone.

"Hehe, Childe is very skilled, there is a lot of chatter, Miss Childe, please come in. The gatekeeper general clenched his fists and apologized, and stretched out his hand to invite Ye Daotian and the others in.

Ye Daotian shrugged his shoulders and walked in with Gu Zixuan, waiting for Ye Daotian and the two to walk a long way. The gatekeeper general shouted: "You, for whatever reason, go and pull stones to run ten laps around the imperial city, and you are not allowed to eat if you can't finish the run." ”

"Yes. The soldier didn't refute, after all, it was his own fault, and whatever the reason, everything was fine.

Ye Daotian and the others didn't know what was happening here, and the two were walking on the street at this time. The prosperity of this imperial capital is no less than a hundred times that of Wanjun City. From the two miles inside the city gate, you can see the shops on both sides of the road, restaurants, teahouses, pavilions and attics•••••• which make people dazzled.

"Let's go, hurry, if you don't hurry, you won't be able to catch up. A passer-by urged his partner.

Ye Daotian knew that something big had happened when he saw his excited expression, so he stepped forward and grabbed him, hugged his fists and asked with a smile: "This big brother, what happened?"

The eldest brother of this passer-by was enthusiastic, and when he saw Ye Daotian's confused expression, he said with a smile: "Little brother, you are from outside! Half a month ago, a major event happened in this imperial capital, and the second prince's faction launched a coup d'état to usurp power, but who would have thought that the emperor, who had not shown up for two years, would appear on that day. The second prince saw that the situation was not good and wanted to take it by force, or how to say that the second prince was a brainless person.

In the past three months, the children of various families and the elders of the family have come one after another. The emperor waved his arms, and the elders of these families all made a contribution, and some of the families and court officials and generals of the second prince's faction knelt down and surrendered one after another. In the end, the second prince undoubtedly hit the stone with an egg. Today is the day of their beheading. ”

Ye Daotian was stunned, he didn't expect such a big thing to happen in this imperial city, if the emperor really didn't come out, then the second prince might really succeed in usurping the throne. "Well, thank you, brother, but the beheading won't be so much that the whole city will go to watch!"

"Hehe, of course, not only did they behead them, but the emperor also personally rewarded those families who made contributions in that battle, and one of them was even more amazing and gorgeous, and her combat power was unparalleled! The passer-by continued to explain with a smile.

"Oh, thank you, brother!" Ye Daotian clenched his fists and arched his hand.

"Hurry up, there is still half an hour before the execution, and if you don't hurry, you won't be able to catch up. The companion next to the passer-by brother urged.

"Okay, little brother, if you are interested, come with us to have a look!" This old brother is really enthusiastic, I am afraid that Ye Daotian is interested and wants to take a look, but he doesn't know the way, so he invites him.

Ye Daotian looked at Gu Zixuan, and Gu Zixuan nodded. "Okay, then it's going to be troublesome brother!"

"Hey, what's the trouble, let's go!" The old brother shook his head and beckoned Ye Daotian and the others.

Indeed, this imperial capital is really too big, and most of the people in the imperial capital are cultivated, and there are very few ordinary people. These two elder brothers are no exception, they both have three or four levels of cultivation. It took nearly half an hour to walk and run.

Before the punishment began, I saw rows and rows of people wearing death row uniforms kneeling on the execution table, and of course the cultivation of these people was abolished. The first row is the mastermind such as the second prince, of course, the prime minister's family is also included, the originally beautiful Shangguan Caidie is now unkempt, crying and crying, of course, these people are stuffed with cloth in their mouths, and they can't speak if they want to.

The time gradually came to three o'clock in the afternoon, and from the pavilion on a high platform came a seemingly ordinary, but magnificent, scholar. Although this person was not wearing a dragon robe, the audience recognized it, and unconsciously knelt down and shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." Of course, most of the people didn't kneel, but just clenched their fists and arched their hands. The one who kneels is either his courtier, want

It's not just ordinary people. Monks, after all, they are not ordinary people, of course, they have some privileges.

Of course, the emperor didn't care about these false courtesies, and waved his hand. "Excuse me!" the voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears.

"Emperor Xie!"

"When three o'clock in the afternoon comes, the execution!" The emperor of the Tianwu Kingdom waved his arms and announced the order, and nearly a hundred executioners took off the death cards on the backs of these rebels and took out the cloth in their mouths. Immediately, the sound of wailing resounded throughout the execution ground. Nearly 100 heads landed at the same time, and "gurgling" rolled on the ground, with unwillingness in his eyes.

The emperor is killing chickens and monkeys to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and even his own son is killed, which shows his iron-blooded wrist. Of course, the expected effect was achieved, and those families with improper minds were also rumored for a while. On the other hand, it can also be seen that the imperial family is the most ruthless, and it is common for the righteous to destroy relatives.

The emperor smiled and looked at the nearly 100 corpses indifferently. "The traitors have been eliminated, and the next step is to reward the officials, soldiers, and families who have made contributions to this turmoil. ”

"First of all, the greatest credit is the Huangfu family, the Huangfu family is worthy of being the first family of my Tianwu Kingdom, and they discovered the prime minister's conspiracy early on, and removed a major scourge for me. The first merit belongs to the family of the emperor, you can have opinions. "This emperor will attack the scheming and hold the Huangfu family high, although the Huangfu family is the first family of the Tianwu Kingdom, it is only on the surface. Those ancient families in the shadows will definitely not admit it, the emperor wants to use those ancient families to suppress the Huangfu family.

None of the people, courtiers, and families dared to refute it? They all said: "The emperor is a saint!" Of course, there will be no opinion, after all, the family of the emperor is the first to die.

"Well, that's good! Huangfu Haoyu came to accept the reward. The emperor nodded and said to Huangfu Haoyu with a smile.

Huangfu Haoyu lightly jumped onto the high platform where the emperor was, and bowed slightly. "The emperor is serious, this is what you should do as a citizen of Tianwu Kingdom. ”

"Haha, the words of the head of the Huangfu family are true, you are the first family of the Tianwu Kingdom, I don't have any good rewards, I don't think it's better to do this, how about making you a prince hereditary from generation to generation?" The emperor said with a smile, unable to see his joys, sorrows, and sorrows. And there is no reward for the emperor's family, what the prince said is good, but it is just a name, and there is no real power. But the prince is different in the eyes of those fools, and this is a big name.

"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live. Huangfu Haoyu bowed again.

"Haha, Aiqing is flat. The emperor bent down and helped Huangfu Haoyu up. This seemingly simple action won the cheers of everyone: "The emperor is shengming." ”

Then, the emperor rewarded them one by one, and the rewards were all dispensable, but people couldn't find anything wrong.

After the family rewarded them, they began to reward the teenagers who had contributed to the turmoil. "I heard that the genius girl on the first day of my Tianwu Kingdom is also from the Huangfu Aiqing family, where is this genius girl? ”

Huangfu Linglong didn't want to come to accept the reward, but Huangfu Haoyu thought about it too much, if the emperor had an opinion on the Huangfu family because of this incident, then the Huangfu family would have a hard time in the future. As the head of the family, of course, he thinks a lot, if his family is an ancient family, it doesn't matter, even the royal family does not dare to touch those ancient families.
