Hu Xiaomiao waved his hands and wanted to move the horses, but Li Quan hugged him: "It's too late! Wan Qing, I will trouble you this time."

"Yes, my lord."

With a firm expression on Mu Wanqing's face, she took each of her hands and flew up into the air, flying away.

Thanks to Mu Wanqing's excellent lightness kungfu, she was able to walk like flying with two people at the same time, and her speed was even faster than riding a horse.

Bringing the two of them to perform lightness kung fu with all their strength was exhausting to Mu Wanqing, Li Quan couldn't bear to see his beloved wife's sweat rolling down his face, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Thundering all the way, I couldn't see what happened around me, and I didn't know how long it had been. In short, when I reached the gate of Quxi County, Mu Wanqing had reached her limit.The rest of the way can only be done by running.

The most important thing now is the time. Li Quan paid attention to the sky.

But at this time, the sun was shrouded by a layer of dark clouds, and the sky darkened instantly.

There is a flash of thunder in the cloud, and the muffled thunder rolls in.The dull and distant thunder still remained in the clouds, which was just the prelude to the thunderstorm.

This is a normal phenomenon, but it makes people feel extremely depressed when it appears at this moment, it seems to indicate something.

The knuckles of Hu Xiaomiao's grasping Li Quan's palm turned white, and she silently told herself: "It will be fine."

Chapter 176: Between Dazzling Eyes

At a crossroad in Quxi County, a spacious wooden platform was erected on the blue-gray road. There was nothing on it, but it gave people a dead and forest atmosphere. .

Behind the wooden platform is a simple thatched shed, under which there are simple tables and chairs, and a small wooden box on the table is filled with wooden signs, on which a bright red word "Zhan" is touching.

The intersection was full of onlookers, chatting with each other, and no one dared to make any noise.The yamen servants have firmly controlled the crowd away from the wooden platform. A military three-pronged wooden fence is placed in a circle, and a wooden pole several feet high supports a white sail. The white sail hangs quietly without any movement. .

The serious crime of beheading on the street has not happened for several years. I heard that the county magistrate wants to personally supervise and kill the head of Bixi Village, and all the brave people in Quxi County have come.

In the sound of people's conversation, Liu Song was escorted by the yamen servants to sit down in the thatched shed, his face was as serious as iron, and he was meticulous.

The onlookers also stopped talking and their expressions became serious.

The sound of "clang clatter clatter" shackles made the crowd chaotic again. Everyone stood on tiptoes and looked around. When they saw Hu Ao with disheveled hair appearing on the wooden platform, the crowd became calm again.

Hu Ao was dressed in dirty beige linen clothes, the friction between the shackles and the skin had already caused his feet to be ripped apart, and the soles of his feet were festering abscesses, and he suffered severe pain every time he took a step.But he seemed to be numb, and he knelt in the middle of the wooden platform under the pressure of the fat knife and axe, with his head down, without any expression.

Hu Ao was already aware of his ending, but he didn't think there was anything wrong, he was already full of wine and food before coming here, so he had nothing to regret.The only concern is how is his precious daughter now?Will he be deceived by the fake Li Quan?If it was the real Li Quan, saving himself should be effortless, otherwise how could the current situation happen?

Liu Song probed to look at the projection on the sundial at the corner of the street, and then noticed that the sun was covered by dark clouds all over the sky, but noon was the same as evening, and he didn't know what time it was.

Liu Song guessed that the time was almost the same, and nodded to the adjutant.

Suddenly, there was a strong wind, flying sand and rocks, and the white sail several feet high seemed to have life suddenly and fluttered wildly.

The wind blew people's hair away, rolled up the girls' trouser legs, and it became difficult to open their eyes. If you want to talk, you must eat a mouthful of sand and stones.

Against the strong wind, Liu Song's adjutant bent his body to the wooden platform with squinted eyes, and the paper in his hand was constantly shaking like waves.

"Hu Ao of Bixi Village... Bah Bah!" Just as he opened his mouth, there was sand and stones in his mouth. The adjutant frowned and spat, and then he continued, "Brutal, three days ago... Bah Bah! Killed Bi three days ago Xicun [-]... [-]... Bah! [-] bites, the evidence is convincing, and he should be sentenced to death."

The adjutant finished reading the short pleading paper, was full from eating sand and stones, and was about to turn around and step off the stage, when there was a thunderous explosion in the chaotic sky.

"boom!"

The thunder was rolling, shaking the heavens and the earth.

People like ants were scared by the sudden thunder and squatted on the ground with their heads covered.

"Crack!"

The wooden pole supporting the white sail broke with a sound, and the wooden pole several feet high fell down, hitting the adjutant on the stage in the future who had no time to leave!

It was only an inch away, if it fell on the adjutant's head, the stick would be a bloody situation if it didn't kill him.

The adjutant froze on the spot in fright.

The onlookers were also stunned, and after a while someone commented:

"Anomalies in heaven and earth, broken poles to warn. Isn't this an unjust case?"

No one had time to answer, and raindrops larger than soybeans had already fallen in the black cloud.

Looking up, thunder flashes in the black clouds in the sky, silver thunderbolts intertwine and entangle in the clouds, and the rain falls like transparent glass beads.

"Crash..."

God was bathing Quxi County, but the people walking on the street suffered a catastrophe, and the people who were watching the beheading also left one after another.

It's not that they don't want to see it, it's just that the rain is coming too hard.There was chaos at the intersection, but luckily no one was going over the fence.

Both the adjutant and the axeman were drenched, and the handwriting on the pleading paper had been stained with black ink.

While wiping his face, the adjutant shouted to Liu Song in the shed: "My lord, what should we do now?"

The sudden change made Liu Song very upset, he pulled out the board decisively and threw it on the ground:

"The hour has come, execution!"

……

……

Facing the violent wind and rain, looking at the chaotic scene around, listening to the "slap" sound of footsteps in the puddle.Hu Xiaomiao kept repeating two words:

"hurry up!"

Within half a minute of the rain starting, Li Quan's whole body was already soaked.The rain dripped down Li Quan's chin and onto his heart, and the cold feeling made him extremely sober now.

The little girl on her back was cold and her limbs were stiff, and she was definitely going to be seriously ill this time when she went back.

But Li Quan didn't care so much anymore, he ran all the way with Hu Xiaomiao on his back, and every time he reached a fork in the road, he would grab a pedestrian who was in a hurry to avoid the rain and ask:

"Where is the execution ground?"

Pedestrians who were anxious to avoid the rain were very impatient: "Why are you still going there? The onlookers are all astigmatized. Hey, I don't care about you, so I just ran ahead and crossed two streets. The next intersection is the execution ground."

Li Quan said thank you, and then continued to run forward.

"hurry up……"

"Don't worry, we'll be there soon, just ahead." While running, Li Quan comforted Hu Xiaomiao, feeling as if his intestines were about to burst.

Layers of rain curtains made the field of vision very limited, and Li Quan remembered the words of passers-by.
