Chapter 22 The Battle of Aobai's Scheme
The next morning, Gui Zhong and his party did not move, stayed in the inn to recuperate, and left until noon.
In today's era, the execution of prisoners is generally at noon, at this time the yang energy between heaven and earth is abundant, and the executioner is not afraid of ghosts and ghosts after killing, although it is only a rumor in the world, but it has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has some truth.
Along the way, the crowd was bustling, there was a lot of discussion, all talking about today's beheading, this time the matter is not small, one hundred and ten people were executed together at once, the whole capital was sensational, the people who went to watch were densely packed, and the people who went to the place of execution along the way could not be counted, most of these people were the people of Beijing, some were numb, some were resentful, some were silent, and more were purely to see a lively, Chinese have always liked to be lively, even if it is a knife to ask for beheading, execution and murder are no exception.
For this situation, the Qing court will not stop it, there are still some Qing soldiers maintaining order from time to time along the way, Gui Zhong knows, this is also a deterrent means for the ruling class, the bloody reality is in front of you, how much can deter lawlessness, especially for the Qing court, the Manchurian Jurchen and a small number of famous Chinese Han people rule the huge Han people, but also need such thunderous means to suppress people's hearts.
Soon after following the flow of people, the three of them came to the place of today's execution, this is a huge square, paved with bluestone all over the ground, the brilliance is slippery, it is obvious that it is caused by many years of trampling, that is, it is not a problem for this square to accommodate thousands of people, and now in a short period of time, the bustling flow of people will occupy this area, Gui Zhong and Mao 18 have kung fu, even with a thin Wei Xiaobao, they quickly squeezed through the heavy flow of people, and came to a place at the front of the crowd, where you can clearly see a high platform dozens of steps away, about less than a zhang high, at this time there is already a group of prisoners wearing white prison clothes and wearing a cape on the high platform, each of them carried a wooden sign behind it, on which a blood-red slash word revealed a strong murderous aura, and a circle of Qing soldiers surrounded the high platform layer upon layer, constantly scolding the surrounding crowd and maintaining the order of this execution.
"Well, is that really the case? It's a good worship, and it's really ruthless, this is trying to lure the snake out of the hole. Gui Zhong sighed in his heart, and with his eyesight, he could naturally see which prisoners on the high platform, although they were disheveled and looked embarrassed, but in fact, they were breathing vigorously and their bodies were like this, not at all like a group of condemned prisoners who were tortured in the prison.
Soon after the flow of people gathered, after the high platform, a sound of gongs sounded, a team of elite Qing soldiers came in a hurry, there were hundreds of people, in the middle of the Qing soldiers is a luxurious eight-lift sedan chair, in the team, a flag is lit up, "Manchuria's first Baturu", "Qing Dynasty Auxiliary Minister", "Prince Taifu" and a series of titles and official positions, really majestic, full of aura.
The person who comes is naturally worshipping.
The sedan chair stopped, a stout, bearded man wearing a python robe, stepping on cloud boots, striding forward, sonorous and powerful, walking between the tiger bursts, there is a fierce killing momentum, people can't help but look sideways.
"What a battlefield warrior, worthy of Aobai!" Gui Zhong's eyes lit up, and he praised him, this kind of majesty, except for Aobai, the entire Qing court probably has no one anymore.
"Engong, this is Aobai, how do you see his kung fu?" Mao Shiba's eyes were shining, his face was red, and his beard trembled slightly, obviously in an excited mood, while watching Aobai walk away, he turned his head and asked, he had the intention of fighting with this Aobai in Beijing this time, but now at this time, he wanted to explore his kung fu foundation.
"Hmm, what do you mean about Aobai's kung fu?" Gui Zhong didn't know what Mao Shibai thought in his heart, and smiled secretly in his heart, but he still explained to him, "This Aobai is practicing battlefield kung fu, and his subordinates have countless lives, and he is born with amazing divine power, although he doesn't understand the mysteries of the inner family, but his combat power is really extraordinary, according to the poor Dao, Brother Mao, you are probably not his opponent." ”
Gui Zhong's eyesight is clever, just a glance at the bottom of the Ao Bai is almost there, this Manchurian first warrior is not a vain name, a majestic and domineering, murderous spirit, internal strength is not necessarily smart, but to talk about combat effectiveness, it can be regarded as a good hand among the second-rate masters, with Mao Eighteen is now in the third-rate realm where will be his opponent, once on the right, it will not take ten moves, it will be defeated, whether it can survive is still a question.
"What? This Ao Bai is a Manchurian barbarian, will have such a powerful kung fu?" Mao Shibai didn't believe it, although he had already heard that Ao Bai was a first-class master in the Qing court, but he didn't take it too seriously, how could a Manchurian know the mystery of Chinese martial arts, even if he was just from a small family on the rivers and lakes like the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife, he was naturally not an opponent to the masters on the rivers and lakes, but it should not be a problem to defeat Ao Bai, and now when he heard this, he naturally didn't believe it.
"Hehe, Brother Mao, don't be unconvinced, this Aobai's kung fu is honed from the battlefield, although the moves have not had many subtleties, but his divine power is amazing, his body is strong, every move is a killing technique, your internal kung fu is not successful, when you meet a battlefield general like him, he is naturally not an opponent. ”
Gui Zhong explained lightly, and then said no more, concentrating on checking the next movement.
As soon as they finished speaking, Mao Eighteen still wanted to argue a few more words, on the high platform over there, Ao Bai had already beheaded him, and a mouthful of ghost head knives was also raised high by the executioner, and the next moment was the head of the person landed, seeing this scene, the huge square fell silent all of a sudden.
"Aobai, Hugh is rampant!"
"Heaven and earth will come to take your life today!"
A shout suddenly sounded, and then one after another figures in the crowd rushed out and killed them towards the high platform.
"Ah, it's the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society who have arrived, but they want to see how this Ao Bai died today!"
Seeing this, Mao Shibai shouted excitedly, his eyes were excited, and the steel knife in his hand trembled, and he was about to go forward with the people of the Heaven and Earth Society.
"Slow!" Gui Zhong stretched out his hand and pressed it on Mao Shiba's shoulder, and the stout man immediately felt as if he had pressed a mountain on his body, and it was impossible to move, let alone rush up to fight with the Qing soldiers.
"Engong, at this time, it is a good opportunity to kill the Tartars, maybe even Ao Bai can be killed in one fell swoop, what can you stop me from!" Mao Eighteen's blood surged, and his tone was not very polite, now it was the fierce moment when the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society came to rob the Dharma field and kill the Tartars, and he Mao Eighteen had always admired the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society, and now he was able to kill the enemy side by side, so he naturally didn't want to let go, but he didn't expect that Gui Zhong would stop him at this critical moment, and he was indignant in his heart.
"Don't worry, you look at it, today's things are not so simple, Ao Bai has other preparations, maybe these people from the Heaven and Earth Society will return, you will take care of Xiaobao here, and if you have the opportunity, you will take care of these people, I will go and take a look, remember, don't act rashly!"
Gui Zhong snorted coldly in a serious tone, and pointed at it, Mao Shiba's eyes were shocked, he saw that the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society just now had just rushed to the law field, wanting to rescue those death row prisoners, and in an instant, these death row prisoners took action one after another, and by surprise, several men from the Heaven and Earth Society were killed by them in one fell swoop, blood splashed, this scene made Mao Shiba's heart cold.
"Damn, it turns out that those prisoners are all fake, and they actually want to lure the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society to come and kill them!" Although Mao Shibai said that he was rude, he was not a fool, all this in front of him was obviously beyond his expectations, and the mystery in it naturally understood in the blink of an eye, and he was angry at the moment, and scolded Ao Bai.
"Okay, you guys are here, I'll pick it up, otherwise the world will really lose a lot today. As soon as Gui Zhong's words fell, the person had already turned into a cloud of green smoke and rushed into the high platform, the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and as soon as the sword light was spit out, it cut the throat of a Qing soldier.
At this time, on the execution platform, it had already become a mess, one by one black-clothed and masked Tiandi Huizhong and a group of Qing soldiers fought together fiercely, long knives waved, sword light flashed, and Emei thorns, Luohan sticks, judges' pens all kinds of blades continued to wave, and those Qing soldiers and fake death row prisoners were also brave, spears were stabbed out in rows, the queue was neat, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the anger was rushing, these people turned out to be first-class battlefield soldiers, with tacit understanding, with the gun array in the army to deal with these Jianghu masters, it soon had an effect, a masked man with a long sword, just killed a Qing soldier, and then suddenly there was a burst of shouts around him, and four or five guns were stabbed over, the sharp spear head, the trembling red tassels, the cold light flashed, the man screamed, there were four or five more holes between his chest and abdomen, and he spurted blood, and he couldn't live anymore.
The air flow hissed, and as soon as Gui Zhong's eyes flashed, four or five Qing soldiers came over with spears, and the four spears swallowed like poisonous snakes, blocking the space that flashed left and right of him, and a rich killing aura rushed to his face.
"What a spear skill in the army, the Eight Banners are really elite!" sighed in his heart, but Gui Zhong was in a flash, like a vague phantom, he broke away from the blockade of these Qing soldiers, and suddenly appeared behind these people, the long sword stabbed, the green light swooped, and sneered, this group of Qing soldiers howled miserably, and the jade pillow points behind his head had all been pierced by him, and he was directly killed here.
Gui Zhong had just killed this group of people, and was about to continue to make a move, when a fierce shout suddenly came from the high platform! "Chen Jinnan, the old man has been waiting for a long time, your heaven and earth will be stubborn, disobey the rule of my Qing Dynasty, and conspire to rebel, today is the death period of you!"
"Aobai, you are really vicious, you actually laid such a trap, but I wait for the brothers of heaven and earth, who oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and have long put life and death out of the way, even if the last drop of blood is shed, we will overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and restore my Ming Dynasty!"
Gui Zhong's eyes swept away, and he saw that on a pavilion outside the square, a gray figure shot out like a bird, and the person was still in the void, and a sword light like cold lightning cut through the air, making a piercing sound.
At the same time, Ao Bai's body moved, and he jumped down from the lobby not far away, with his bare hands, his hands into claws, and the claw wind howled, extremely powerful, and directly killed the figure that jumped in the air.
Jingling, a series of golden and iron sounds sounded, Ao Bai and Chen Jinnan had already killed together, one of the two of them was in a fluttering figure, sharp swordsmanship, and a burly figure, one move was fierce and fierce, it was the chess opponent, the strong wind around the two was howling, and the others in Zhang Xu Fangyuan did not dare to get close at all, only to see the two groups of bodies in the film in an instant to fight more than a dozen moves, the move is dangerous, and the style is killed!
