king array

Ever since there was a disturbance by the formation mages in the imperial city that night, the capital seems to have the appearance of all the grass and trees.The people of Guizhou who have lived under the imperial city for generations have the most sensitive sense of smell. During this period of time, they were silent like cicadas, wishing to engrave "honesty and duty" into a clear rule and recite it in their hearts eight hundred times in the morning, afternoon and evening.

Vendors don't come out, stores don't open, and even the mosquitoes who are ready to eat their fill in autumn are deterred by the stagnant atmosphere in the city, so they don't dare to come out to bite people.When people are bored, they can only hide in their own houses and pick their feet carelessly, for fear that one day a relative who can't beat them will be labeled as a magician, causing disasters.

On this day, the execution ground outside the Xuanwu Gate was particularly lively. The troublemakers who were about to grow out of their hair at home heard that a group of prisoners were going to be executed there. When the formation master was arrested, he happily went there with friends and companions.

From ancient times to the present, there is no shortage of people who love to watch the excitement, especially those who watch beheadings.Sent out from the prison, paraded through the streets in a prison van, and finally pushed to the execution ground with blood spattered three feet, the whole process can be called a drama of ups and downs.Those who were less courageous took the child to the side of the street to look at the prison car. If the person in the prison car could say "he will be a good boy again after 18 years", it would be a worthwhile trip.Those who are courageous and have a high psychological endurance will directly guard the execution ground to occupy a good position, and maybe they can catch a glimpse of the roll of heads falling to the ground.

"Who are these people!" Someone in the crowd finally remembered and asked casually.

"Looks like bandits. It's said that murder and arson are all kinds of crimes." The person next to him just said casually.

The person who asked the question clicked his tongue twice, and his face raised a bit of peace of mind, "This kind of person should be killed!"

"That's right, judging by his vicious appearance, he may have done many bad things, so he should be killed!"

The vicious Zhong Lishan was the first to be taken to the execution ground. His leopard head and ring eyes, which were not considered vicious at all, after nearly two months in prison, were no different from Ling Xun's appearance when he was released from prison. Human, with his swollen beard and hair tied on a face that hasn't been washed for several months, and paired with a pair of bloodshot eyes with sunken eyes, don't say "heinous", it means that he has eaten human flesh and drank it. I am afraid that some people will believe in the blood of others.

Zhong Lishan's body was tied up all over, even if he had the ability to reach heaven and earth, he could only be a living zongzi at this time.The two officials seemed to know that he was not a good person, and guarded him one by one cautiously. When they got to the execution position, one of them kicked him hard in the hollow of his knee, causing him to fall to his knees.

"Home!"

The prisoner closest to Zhonglishan yelled when he saw this, and almost broke free from the restraints of the two officials and rushed up. The two officials slashed at the back of his neck with their knives, but the prisoner was like a mad tiger, with divine power. It seemed that the two officials were about to be overthrown.

"Stop!!" Zhong Lishan shouted angrily.

The prisoner with a long scar on his face froze suddenly, he was the scar-faced man who fought against Ling Xun in prison before, his surname was Wang Mingda.

Zhong Lishan said: "Hei Scar, what's the matter now, what else do you want to do? Do you want to die badly and be quartered by five horses!"

Wang Da stood on the spot in a daze, Tong Ling's big eyes turned red, tears streaming down his face.

Zhong Lishan sighed slowly, and said softly: "Okay, let's go on the road with peace of mind, we will be brothers in the next life."

"The head of the house..."

Zhong Lishan took one last look in the direction of the city gate.

Nine gates are closed and the whole city is on alert.

It is also fate.

Knowing that the planned rescue would definitely not come, Zhong Lishan turned his expression back from the despair of falling into death, to indifferent and calm, glanced sideways at the scimitar laid by the executioner, and closed his eyes with a sneer , Not even a sigh of untimely life.

"The time has come for execution!" The executioner shouted and dropped the token.

Seeing the scimitar for execution being raised high, Wang Da uttered a beast-like whimper, knelt down on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, and knocked his rough head on the ground one by one, as if this could relieve the pain. Pain in the heart.

Standing behind Wang Da, Ruan Ji lowered his eyebrows, lowered his eyes, and held his hands in his sleeves. His sparse little goatee was rarely trembling. At this moment when he was about to die, what he was thinking about was the animals in the stockade.I don't know who to turn to to heal those animals who split their legs after he died.

All the bandits in Qingping Mountain bowed their heads in resignation at this moment, only Fan Cheng, who was the youngest, looked around with a pale face, as if holding the last thought in his heart, wanting to get rid of this indifferent emperor. Looking around, a team of heavenly soldiers and generals appeared.

However, Fan Cheng didn't look forward to seeing the legendary heavenly soldiers and generals, but caught a glimpse of a pair of very familiar eyes in a daze.

These eyes are so attractive, once you see them, you will never forget them, and you can't help but feel charming, but before Fan Cheng could look for them carefully, these eyes disappeared in the crowd again.

At the same time, there was a clanging sound, and the chopping knife that was about to be swung was bounced off by something, and it was deflected a little bit, avoiding Zhonglishan's half-foot-square neck, and only had time to cut off a few strands of it. hair.

After a moment of silence, the executioner screamed like a ghost: "Someone robbed the court!"

It was like dripping water into a frying pan, and the crowd exploded, and six figures flew out from different parts of the street, cutting all the ropes tied to the bandits with their knives up and down.

"Go on!" Ling Xun casually chopped down a guard, took his knife and threw it at Zhongli Shan.

Zhong Lishan's eyes were filled with ashes, and he stared blankly at the man who threw the knife at him. He saw peach blossoms in his eyes and a smile like a spring breeze. He was clearly here to rob the execution ground, but he didn't even wear a handkerchief to cover his face. With a monstrous face that could bring disaster to the country and the people, he came over with a frenzied sword wielding a ribbon in brocade clothes and ribbons.

"It's you! Why are you here!"

His body reacted before his consciousness. He caught the knife, lowered his body, snatched a sharp blade that was slashed at him, and then used the knife with his backhand to throw the soldier who was trying to attack him out of the way. A few feet away.

"Why, haven't you heard of a beauty saving a hero?" This exaggeration can only be uttered by a person with a thick skin like a city wall.

"Why don't you even wear night clothes!" Zhong Lishan finally calmed down from his astonishment, and gave Ling Xun a reproachful look.

Ling Xun said indifferently: "This head is already worth a thousand gold, and I'm not afraid to add a little more to it."

Zhong Lishan had just come out of prison, so naturally he didn't know how much Ling Xun had done in the capital in the past two months. Now it was not the time to talk, so he stopped asking more questions, and just brought his own people with all his strength. Together with Ling Xun and other six people, they rushed out of the encirclement.

At this time, those who came to see the excitement had already been scattered, and they might not know why they were unlucky, and they could tell something by watching a beheading.However, since it is in chaos, how can it be so easy to get out?Ling Xun gave Zhong Lishan a wink, and the two of them tacitly suffocated, and went to places with heavy traffic like ducks, and quickly fled in the direction of Mu's mansion under the cover of the crowd.

Fang Jue was at the end of the formation, with a ghostly figure and a long sword that made him silent. After shuttling through the chaotic crowd several times, he easily scattered the pursuers. He thought everything was going well, but unexpectedly he rushed out of nowhere A group of patrolling officers and soldiers stopped everyone from retreating.

As the saying goes, the enemy's road is narrow, and the small official who took the lead was the same leader who had searched Situ's mansion before and was beaten up by Ling Xun in the end.The head of the official police station saw Ling Xun's face at first glance, he was stunned for a while, and then subconsciously stretched out his hand to rub his neck, and he still can't forget how he got the sap surnamed Feng in the first place.

"It's him! Feng Wuge!" he shouted to his soldiers.

Those little soldiers seemed to see the bright yellow gold, and there was a green light in their eyes. Even Zhong Lishan, who had been slaughtered for a long time, was also frightened by the eyes of these people, and couldn't help giving Ling Xun a worried look.

"Be careful, this Feng Wuge is a formation mage!" The leader said again, staring at Ling Xun intently, "If he takes out some white handkerchief, don't look at it!"

Angrily, Ling Xun stuffed back the white brocade handkerchief that he had just pulled out of his sleeve, and stared at the head of the official station with resentment.The group attack skills can't be used anymore, if you want to knock down these people one by one, I'm afraid it will take some effort.

After such a delay, the officers and soldiers from behind chased them up again. At this time, they were in a narrow alley. It would not be interesting to meet enemies at both ends. Once Qin Chao sent out the formation masters, they might not be able to escape.

Ling Xun became more and more anxious, and was about to say something, but Wang Da shouted ahead of him: "Good dogs don't get in the way, if you don't want to die, get out of the way for grandpa!"

At this time, Wang Da's eyes were already red-eyed, as if he was stimulated by the scene of Zhongli Shan's execution just now, he turned into an evil god, and he could stare out two holes in anyone with his fierce eyes.

The leaders of the officers and soldiers naturally knew their concerns and deliberately delayed, but no one expected that when the two sides were in a stalemate, the ground shook violently, and there was a muffled thunder coming from the south.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, attracted by the voice to look south.

Then there was another boom.

A small soldier suddenly asked with a trembling voice: "Then, what is that sound?"

In the face of unknown threats and fears, the temporary enemies and friends also forgot their positions. Fang Jue stared at the direction of the southern city gate where the red smoke was gradually billowing, and continued, "It's not the sound of thunder."

What is the sound if it is not thunder?

Many people have such doubts belatedly.

However, Ling Xun, who knew the inside story in advance, knew it well.

That's not thunder, that's the sound of a siege—

Liangzhou soldiers finally besieged the city.

Thousands of miles of wolf smoke ignited one after another, smoking the drowsy sky of the imperial city of the Great Xia Dynasty, and also seemed to ignite a precarious and chaotic world that is about to take the stage. Whether they want it or not, all creatures on the land of Kyushu will be swept away into it.
