"Hey, this kid has his day. Wasn't he still arrogant yesterday? I heard that he became a captain. He originally wanted to exploit us to please the general, but he didn't expect retribution to come so quickly. The general wouldn't eat him at all. This set."
"Who can say otherwise? Three generations of the Yang family have been in the army. They are destined to be soldiers. They can't get on the stage. They are still thinking about climbing up and don't know what he is."
"Hey, this kid wasn't like this before. Although he's a little arrogant, he has a good heart. Is there any misunderstanding? How can he behead someone just after arresting him?"
"Is there any misunderstanding? Didn't he bring those soldiers yesterday?"
"By the way, when will he return our food?"
"It should be soon, right?"
"Hey, I heard that this kid colluded with the rebels and allowed the rebels to invade our Shangyang County."
"This is a good thing. That Zhou Ji is nothing."
The cold wind blew through the market entrance, and the voices of people talking reached Lu Sinan's ears.
Lu Sinan looked across the crowd and looked at Yang Ao who was being escorted to the execution ground, but he was thinking about other things. Yang Ao had no chance of survival here and was not worth caring about, but Lu Xuan's matter was a bit tricky.
This person seems to be different from ordinary rebels. He is quite bold in what he does. In addition to attacking the city, what he did in Shangyang County this time may have greater damage to the imperial court than the Guiyi Sect's destruction of ten cities.
The most important thing is that he also knows how to manage his reputation, which makes the court quite passive. The matter of releasing grains puts the officers and soldiers on the fire. Even though he killed Yang Ao to calm some public anger, it failed to The impact of this incident was completely eliminated.
Lu Xuan?
Lu Sinan recalled the information about Lu Xuan. He was just an ordinary farmer who had been a hawker for several years. How could such an ordinary person be able to explode with such great power after becoming a rebel?
Unimaginable.
If there were more people like this in Guiyi Sect, it would be really dangerous.
"Lu Sinan, where is the general?" On the execution ground, the two innate masters failed to hold Yang Ao down. Yang Ao looked at Lu Sinan on the main seat with his neck stiffened, but did not see Sun Fang, so he shouted.
"The general is busy with military affairs. There is no need to come in person for such a trivial matter." Lu Sinan said with a smile: "Yang Yingzheng, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules. Now you have made the people of Shangyang County boiling with resentment. Even if the general cherishes his talent, it will be difficult for him to do so. Please, prepare for execution!"
"Damn it, I was following orders, and I never sent troops to rob food. It was clearly Wang Ben who robbed food. You..." Yang Ao wanted to say what Lu Sinan said before, but Wang Ben on the side had already taken the lead and used a piece of The cloth was stuffed into Yang Ao's mouth.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense when you are about to die?" Wang Ben shouted.
"Ao'er!" an old voice sounded in the execution ground, but in the crowd, an old woman, supported by her maid, came to the execution platform tremblingly, looking at Yang Ao who was being held down by two strong men, After all, the old muddy tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of my eyes.
"Ang~" Yang Ao's mouth was gagged, looking at his waning mother, but now he had to watch himself being beheaded. The white-haired man sent the black-haired man. Without him, how should his mother live for the rest of her life? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad.
"Sir!" Mother Yang wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and looked at Lu Sinan on the execution platform. Her old voice echoed in the execution ground: "My family has been in the army for three generations. Although we are not a general family, we never dare to forget our loyalty and loyalty. Words, Your Majesty said that my son colluded with the rebels, but I don’t know what evidence is there?”
Lu Sinan smiled and said: "Does the confession of the army lieutenants count? On that day Lu Xuan came into contact with Yang Ao, and all his soldiers saw it. Yang Ao was able to capture and kill Lu Xuan as much as he searched the bag to retrieve the items, but Yang Ao let Lu Xuan go."
"I remember, Ao'er explained this to the general. This was Lu Xuan's trick!" Mother Yang looked at Lu Sinan and said.
"All the officials and wealthy households in the city were looted by the rebels, but the Yang family was the only one who refused to let the rebels in, and even protected them. So what can I say?" Lu Sinan looked at the sky, not wanting Mother Yang to continue talking. He winked at Wang Ben.
"The entire Shangyang County knows that my Yang family is poor. My Yang family is not the only one who has not been touched by the rebels. The poor families in the city have not been touched by the rebels. If you follow your logic, doesn't it mean that the whole city is full of rebels?" Mother Yang He said with a stern voice: "Also, my son recently recovered military supplies from the people. He only had 400 men under his command. The rest of the troops did not obey my son's orders. However, the general behind my son seemed to be the one who took the most action against the people. , why is it that my son is being tied to the execution ground now, and not only is this general okay? Can I think that it is my son who has taken on this bad reputation for you?"
"Old madam, slandering an official of the imperial court is a serious crime! It would not be an exaggeration to punish all nine of your clans!" Lu Sinan narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke with a threat.
"Sir, of the nine clans of the Yang family, only my mother and son are left. You want to kill me. I am here now. I am willing to die with my son. But I don't know when you plan to return the property that you took away from the people yesterday." Yang The mother obviously no longer cares about her life or death, and the old voice echoed in everyone's ears: "It's easy for you to kill my mother and son, but you don't know how to stop this crowd of people from talking?"
Lu Sinan frowned slightly, and if the old woman continued talking, the public resentment that had just been suppressed might rise again.
He looked at Wang Ben, why didn't he take action?
When he looked over, he saw Wang Ben kneeling on the ground with a pale face. But just when he was about to take action, he was kicked again by Yang Ao. Yang Ao was worried about his mother's safety. He knew that Wang Ben might anger his mother and wanted to give him to her before he died. Mother saves this scourge.
Unfortunately, he was bound by the Dragon Lock and could not use 10% of his strength. Although he was able to repel Wang Ben, he was unable to kill him.
waste!
Lu Sinan cursed secretly and couldn't let the old woman talk any more. He looked at the sky, took out a command arrow and threw it on the ground: "The time has come for execution!"
Two innate masters pushed Yang Ao down on the execution platform with all their strength, and an executioner stepped forward with a ghost-headed knife to kill Yang Ao.
"Don't be afraid, Ao'er, mother is with you!" Mother Yang closed her eyes in pain when she saw that the other party had no plans to kill her son. As an old woman, what else could she do at this moment?
"You haven't answered the old man's question yet, what's wrong? Are you feeling guilty?" A sneer sounded from the air, and the next moment, a cold light flashed, and the executioner's head was gone first!
"Who!?" The two innate masters were shocked when they saw this. They didn't even notice the other party taking action.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure rushed up to the execution platform like a ferocious beast. Two large and somewhat exaggerated swords were swung out in his hand, and the two innate masters were instantly dismembered.
Immediately afterwards, a graceful female Taoist priest descended from the sky, looked at the dragon-binding lock on Yang Ao, and said disdainfully: "The Qingxuan Taoist Sect not only became a lackey of the court, but also created such a thing. The more you live, the more you can go back." ”
As he spoke, he made a Tao seal and landed on the dragon-binding lock. Yang Ao tried his best to break the dragon-binding lock, but it was easily unlocked by the female Taoist priest.
"Mom!" Yang Ao got free, threw away the rag in his mouth, and jumped to his mother's side. After making sure that his mother was fine, he turned around and glanced at everyone's faces with murderous eyes.
Then his eyes fell on the female Taoist priest and the iron tower man: "Thank you both for your help!"
At the same time, he was a little surprised. Not to mention the female Taoist priest, he didn't know much about Taoist methods, but the strength of this iron tower-like man was somewhat astonishing. Judging from the momentum of his attacks, he was probably not as powerful as himself.
"With a little effort, when it comes to it, you and I are considered one of our own!" the female Taoist priest waved her hand and said nonchalantly.
One of our own?
Yang Ao was a little confused. He was sure he didn't know these two people.
"Junior sister, you're too reckless!" the man from the Iron Tower said helplessly.
"I just can't stand the faces of these dog officials!" The female Taoist priest said disdainfully: "You can't fight, but you can deal with your own people in a different way."
"But you can't put yourself in danger!" said the Iron Tower man displeased.
"Are these stinky sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs trying to stop us?" the female Taoist priest said disdainfully.
"Are you from the Guiyi Sect?" Yang Ao's heart moved.
"Of course!" the female Taoist priest nodded.
Yang Ao thought of the bet he had made with Lu Xuan, and then thought about the experiences of the past two days, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was really confused by the official word. He thought he was a hero, but now that he thinks about it, he feels like What a clown!
"Did Tong Lu ask you to come?" Yang Ao thought of the bet that day, and felt a little admiration for Lu Xuan in his heart. Could it be that he had already calculated it until today?
"Lu Xuan? We are looking for him too." The female Taoist priest shook her head and said, "Let's go, this is not the place to talk. Let's fight out."
Yang Ao looked at the murderous female Taoist priest with a strange expression. Is this woman really a Taoist priest?
"Mom, my child... I am ashamed of my ancestors, but..." Yang Ao looked at his mother, feeling a little ashamed. Being an official was the long-cherished wish of three generations of the Yang family, and it was also the expectation of his mother. But now, he is afraid that he will not be able to become an official. I don’t want to be a kid anymore.
The wish of the three generations of the Yang family is to be a general, not a rebel, but today, they really have no other choice but to rebel.
"If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later. Mother-in-law and mother-in-law are still not men anymore?" The female Taoist priest frowned and looked at Yang Ao.
"The Taoist priest is right. Now that things have happened, my son has no other choice." Mother Yang sighed, looked at her son and said with a smile: "Actually, being an official was only your father and grandfather's expectation, but they didn't Thinking that the imperial court is like this now, from now on, as long as my son never goes against his will, no matter what he does, it will be fine."
Although the Yang family has always advocated loyalty, they ended up like this. The moment Lu Sinan ordered the beheading, Yang's mother had actually given up. She didn't expect such a twisting scene. If she refused people's kindness at this time, she would have no choice but to stay. If you come down and die, then you are foolish and loyal.
Yang Ao felt relieved when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he saluted the two of them and said, "Wait a moment!"
After saying that, he turned back to look at Wang Ben, only to see that Wang Ben had retreated to Lu Sinan, looking here warily.
"Yang Ao, don't be ridiculous!" Lu Sinan's expression also changed. Colluding with the rebels was originally a false accusation, but he didn't expect that Yang Ao really colluded with the rebels, and the other party even sent two masters to protect him!
Yang Ao jumped onto the execution platform, raised his toes, and the executioner's ghost-headed knife fell into his hand, and he strode towards the execution platform.
"Yang is leaving. Whether you believe it or not, you elders, Yang has never done anything against your will. If you say something wrong, it is probably because I didn't stop those people from hurting you elders last night. Everyone blames me. Yang admits it. Today, As you elders can see, Yang is going to rebel, but before leaving, do something for the Shangyang elders!"
As he walked, he said loudly that what happened yesterday, he admitted that he had violated his heart for the sake of his official position. This may be the shame of his life. Shame can only be washed away with blood.
"Stop him!" Lu Sinan could no longer maintain his calm and calm look. Although the Book Sea Realm and the Transformation Realm are the same realm, before Confucianists step into the Confucian Scholar Realm, their brains are better than ordinary people's, and their combat effectiveness cannot be achieved without the city-protecting youth. Under the premise of the blessing of Qi and official seal, there is almost none.
"Yang Ao, don't act recklessly!" Several battalions quickly gathered around.
"boom!"
The Ghost Head Sword was swung out, and the ground at the edge of the execution platform suddenly collapsed, creating a deep ravine.
"Pao Ze, don't force me to go on a killing spree!" Yang Ao turned around and glanced at the innate masters who wanted to rush forward with his cold eyes. These people were all military commanders. They were on the same level as him before and could not be on the same level of friendship. , but after all, they once fought together on the battlefield. Although they rebelled today, he still remembered their love for each other.
With just a look, a group of battalions froze in place, daring not to move.
The ravine that could be crossed in one step was now lying in front of everyone like a natural chasm.
People in the army naturally know Yang Ao's ability. He is a ruthless man who can kill thousands of troops without getting hurt. Their combined talents are not enough for Yang Ao to beat him with one hand.
Seeing this, Yang Ao ignored these people and turned back to look at Lu Sinan and Wang Ben. A murderous intent instantly enveloped the execution platform.
"Yang Ao, everything he asked me to do has nothing to do with me!" Looking at Yang Ao walking towards him step by step, Wang Ben seemed to be in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The first one couldn't stand the pressure and wanted to leave. , but his legs were as if they were filled with lead. He knew clearly that Yang Ao wanted to kill him, and he couldn't leave at all. He pointed at Lu Sinan directly, as if he was afraid that Yang Ao wouldn't believe it, and amplified his voice: "There is no way that the general will give him You have been granted the title of school captain, but your contribution to the city's destruction this time is too great, and it would be impossible not to grant it, so I set up this plan to get rid of you! I was just following orders and never wanted to kill you!"
As Yang Ao listened, his eyes became more murderous, and he cast his gaze on Lu Sinan: "Mr. Sinan, don't you want to say anything?"
"Now that things have happened, no matter what I say, it seems that I can't escape death!" Lu Sinan closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate. Except that Yang Ao's plan was his own, he was also executing it from beginning to end. In just a moment, He thought about many possibilities, but no matter which one, unless Yang Ao suddenly turned into a fool, he would not be able to escape death.
"That's fair!" Yang Ao nodded, without drawing out the sword, and struck his throat bone with his left hand like lightning. Lu Sinan's eyes suddenly popped out, and he fell to the ground in pain with his hands on his neck. His throat bone was shattered, and for a moment, He couldn't die. He convulsed on the ground for a long time and finally died.
Yang Ao looked at Wang Ben.
Wang Ben knelt on the ground with a bang, kowtowed to Yang Ao and said, "Colonel Yang, I am just following orders. I don't mean to embarrass you! You sir have a lot, please let me live!"
Yang Ao threw away the ghost-headed sword, reached out and took off the bow on his back, and pulled out an arrow. Wang Ben trembled and cooperated obediently, not daring to resist at all.
Yang Ao tipped the strong bow in his hand and looked down at Wang Ben: "I heard that you are good at archery. I will give you ten breaths to escape. After ten breaths, I will shoot. If you can avoid it, we will clear up our grudges!"
"Is...is this true?" Wang Ben raised his head and looked at Yang Ao in surprise.
"Yang never lies!" Yang said proudly.
"Okay!" After the word "good" fell, Wang Ben's figure was already shot out. Although Yang Ao was strong, what was stronger was his cultivation and his spear skills. As for archery, no one had seen him use it. Yes, it must be average when I think about it.
As an innate master who specializes in archery, Wang Ben is confident enough in archery. People who are good at shooting are naturally good at dodging arrows. Although ten breaths are not long, for an innate master , enough for him to run far away.
Is this idiot actually competing with me?
Wang Ben, who had already run for five breaths, couldn't help but look back. When he saw Yang Ao with his eyes closed, bow and arrow ready, he couldn't help but shake his head with some disdain: Idiot!
Shooting an arrow with your eyes closed?
He ignored Yang Ao and ran towards the General's Mansion with all his strength. Sun Fang was also a peak transformation master. As long as he got there, it would be useless even if Yang Ao chased him.
The ten-breath time came quickly. On the execution platform, Yang Ao released the bow string at the moment when he reached ten breaths. He turned to look at the female Taoist priest and the iron tower man and said, "Please wait a moment."
"Let him go like this?" The female Taoist priest was puzzled.
"Ah~"
There was a scream in the distance. Wang Ben, who had just arrived at the door of Sun Fang's mansion, was about to push the door open. A warning sign suddenly rose in his heart. He subconsciously wanted to hide, but an arrow from the air penetrated his chest. Nailed on the door of the General's Mansion.
"Good archery skills!" The man from the Iron Tower looked at Yang Ao in amazement. This archery skill is the only one he has ever seen in his life!
Yang Ao waited for a moment, but did not see Sun Fang come forward. He sneered, turned to look at his mother and said, "Mom, let's go together."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to walk fast with me as a burden. My mother has been a burden on my son for a long time. This time..."
"It doesn't matter, old lady!" The female Taoist priest threw the wine gourd on her waist to the ground. The wine gourd swelled in the wind and became bigger than the last time, reaching five feet. The female Taoist priest looked at the old lady and said, "It won't affect too much. ,let's go."
"Mother!" Yang Ao looked at his mother and said seriously: "The child will serve the mother until the end of his life. If the mother does not leave, the child is willing to die with the mother!"
"Thank you, Taoist priest." Mother Yang sighed, and with the help of Yang Ao, she got on the wine gourd. Although there were many soldiers around, no one dared to approach. They just watched helplessly as a group of four people got on the wine gourd and sat on the wine gourd. Riding on the wind in full view of everyone...
