Chapter 517: There is no choice

Sitting cross-legged on the rock where he had practiced with Luo'er, Han Bing frowned slightly, thinking about how to start the operation to rescue Gongyu Sarong.

Now that he has reached a deal with that Chiyang Sect Leader Duxiaoqiong, exchanging Gongyu Sarong's life for Luo'er's life, Han Bing naturally won't be the kind of person who breaks his word. What's more, the lost Kun key still has to fall on Gongyu Sarong's body.

But just now, he used his soul chasing skill to probe in the rudder of the Loyal Alliance, only to find that the situation was really bad!

The people of the Loyal Alliance have obviously killed the red eyes, and they are eager to kill Gongyu Sarong, the culprit, to vent their anger.

For this, Han Bing actually expected it for a long time.

But what he didn't expect was that they actually planned to use such an extreme method to execute Gongyu Sarong.

As the name suggests, five horses pull a person's head and limbs in five different directions at the same time until they break away from the torso.

At this moment, seeing that Gongyu Sarong's head and feet had been tied to five high-headed horses, Han Bing felt helpless for a while!

At the beginning, the reason why he promised Duxiaoqiong that he would rescue Gongyu Sarong from the Loyalty Alliance was entirely to save Luo'er and regain the key to Qiankun. And, in his mind at the time, it wasn't an impossible task.

Regardless of whether Gongyu Sarong is still imprisoned in the dungeon or has been tied up and sent to the execution ground, Han Bing thinks that he has a good chance of being able to save him alive.

And what he relies on is his supernatural light skills, as well as the mysterious soul chasing skills.

According to Han Bing's original plan, he first used the soul chasing skill to determine the specific location of Gongyu Sarong, and then repeated the old trick, pretending to be a killer from Xingyun Hall to approach his side. Next, you can take advantage of the unpreparedness, remove the restraints on Gongyu Sarong, and escape with him.

As for the escape route, Han Bing had already thought of it, that is, to climb down the cliff on the back mountain.

The cliff is more than 100 zhang high, and it is a steep slope that goes straight up and down, and below the steep slope is a bottomless abyss.

The surface of the cliff is bare rock, and there are hardly any crevices on it for vegetation to grow.

Therefore, if you want to climb down that steep cliff, it is impossible in the eyes of almost everyone.

Even a peerless master like Duxiaoqiong could barely climb down alone.

And Han Bing has great confidence in his light skills. Even if he was carrying a burly male jade sass, he was sure that he would be able to escape from that cliff without danger.

But now, all these plans have come to naught!

In the center of the extremely spacious open space outside the lobby of the Loyal League, Gongyu Sarong was lying flat on the ground covered with thick snow.

His head, neck, and limbs were bound by several sturdy ropes, and the other end of the ropes was tied around the necks of each of the five fiery horses.

The reins on the five fiery horses were also in the hands of the five disciples of the Loyal Alliance Torture Hall.

More than ten zhang away from the execution site, there were also many people from the Loyal and Righteous League. They were all neatly arranged on all sides, surrounding the execution ground, silently waiting for the dawn to come.

In this situation, Han Bing had no chance of succeeding.

Even if he was able to blend in with the crowd watching the execution, he couldn't get as close as possible to the execution site without being detected, close enough to restrain the five torture hall disciples in charge of the execution in one fell swoop.

And most importantly, he also had to make sure that he didn't startle the five fiery horses, who had clearly begun to get restless, throughout the operation.

Otherwise, as long as any of the horses were frightened and ran, they would immediately kill Gongyu Sarong.

Faced with such a predicament, Han Bing had to admit that he couldn't follow the original plan and snatch Gongyu Sarong out of the hands of the Loyal and Righteous Alliance by force alone.

However, if force is not used, there is really no other way.

This is all to blame for Gongyu Sarong's identity being too special.

This former deputy pavilion master of the Broken Sword Pavilion has formed an enmity with the Loyal Alliance since he assassinated many helmsmen of the Loyalty Alliance. Moreover, he, the Beirong assassin, was also a wanted criminal by the Dayu Imperial Court.

Therefore, whether it is as a Jianghu person or as the eldest son of the emperor, Han Bing has no position to negotiate with the Loyalty and Righteousness Alliance, asking them to hand over Gongyu Sarong.

If he said to the people of the Loyal Alliance, this move is to recover the Qiankun key. Then it is completely predictable that he will not get the results he wants at all.

Because in the entire Loyalty Alliance, I'm afraid that only the alliance leader Xue Youyou knows what the Qiankun key is.

Even if Han Bing was able to convince the other members of the Zhongyi Alliance that the Qiankun Key was important to the Dayu Imperial Court. I'm afraid that they will only resort to one method, which is to torture Gongyu Sarong to force him to reveal the whereabouts of the key. And will never agree, let the cold ice take people away in a good way.

But if Han Bing made it clear to the people of the Loyalty Alliance that he was trying to save Luo'er, he had to use Gongyu Sarong to exchange with Duxiao Qiong. That is tantamount to openly admitting that his cold son is completely for his own selfish feelings and ignores the morality of the rivers and lakes.

In this way, it will inevitably make Xue Youyou, who is the leader of the Loyalty Alliance, in a dilemma, and at the same time, it will also arouse the resentment of those other people.

After all, Luo'er is not a member of the Loyalty Alliance, and it is really unconvincing to let the Loyalty League let Gongyu Sarong go for her, and it is impossible to explain to those in the Loyalty League who were killed because of Gongyu Sarong.

What's more, Han Bing still has the identity of the eldest son of the emperor.

If it is rumored that for the sake of the woman he loves, he ignores the law of Dayu and privately indulges in the court. This will discredit His Majesty the Emperor in front of all the people of Dayu, which in turn will affect the smooth implementation of the new policy.

So no matter what, Han Bing will not choose to use his true identity to rescue Gongyu Sarong.

Since this is the case, the only option left is to use the identity of the parting arrow to rescue Gongyu Sarong.

And this choice, for Han Bing, is actually a dead end.

Because whether it is cold ice or parting arrows, it is impossible to secretly rescue Gongyu Sarong alive by force.

Then, what the parting arrow can do is to negotiate openly with the people of the Loyalty Alliance, and exchange one of his own lives for Gongyu Sarong's life.

The parting arrow and the Gongyu Sarong are both enemies of the Loyal and Righteous Alliance.

However, for those in power in the Loyalty Alliance, their hatred of the parting arrow should far exceed their hatred of Gongyu Sarong.

The main reason for this is not that many of their relatives and friends have been killed by the parting arrow, but because of the deep fear of the parting arrow in their hearts.

And this kind of fear is something that Gongyu Sarong can't bring to them.

Therefore, the people of the Loyal Alliance should not refuse this kind of exchange that is obviously beneficial to them.

Of course, Han Bing knew very well the consequences of doing this, but he really had no choice.

In any case, he couldn't watch Luo'er die.

What's more, there are also the lives of countless people involved in that Qiankun key.

Uncle Hua Fengshan and younger brother Shiyu are all his closest relatives, how can Han Bing bear to let them be trapped in that underworld?

Moreover, if he could not open the gate of the underworld in time and take out the treasures inside, Dayu would not have enough money and food to send troops to rescue Chongyuan, and at the same time prepare for the upcoming war with Beirong.

At that time, not only will the uncle Haoxing Mingrui and the Water Sect Master who are in Chongyuan, as well as many Yin people be sacrificed because of this, but even the Dayu soldiers, including Master Xiao Tianjue, will also face the danger of dying on the battlefield.

Since there is no other choice, it can only accept it calmly.

Han Bing pursed the corners of his lips slightly, and stood up from the rock neatly.

Silently, he reached into his arms and pulled out the silver mask that he had not used for a long time.

For the past few days, Han Bing has been wearing this mask on his body.

He originally planned to bury his head in front of Ling Qiyu's grave with this mask after killing Duxiaoqiong, as a memorial.

But who knew that Creation made people, and in the end, he really let him use this mask, but it was to bury himself.

Laughing a little self-deprecatingly, Han Bing put the mask on his face.

Then, without hesitation, he flew in the direction of the rudder of the Loyal Alliance under the mountain.
