"Your Majesty, I have reached fifty!"
In the square in front of the Ancestral Temple, the flogging carried out by Cao Du, the commander of the Spring Death Army, finally came to an end.
For those who are being tortured, it is a kind of torture, but for those who are watching the torture, it is not only frightening!
The two lords kneeling on the ground at this time had the same pale complexion. The exposed upper body was also covered with bruises and bruises, looking as ferocious as snake marks.
There are five levels of flogging, with 50 being the highest. In principle, this is the lightest penalty. But if the executioner did it deliberately, it would not be difficult to beat the person to death alive!
Cao Jiuping stretched out his right hand and waited for the eunuch standing by to take away the whip, then turned and stood back on the high platform.
Qi Tianzi said: "Get up."
Tian Xili and Liu Yingqi put on their shirts and stood up unsteadily.
The cultivation strength of the two was not equal. As the executor of this flogging, Cao Jie controlled his power very well. The whips struck on the two of them were also limited to the Shenlin and Outer Building levels respectively.
So the two of them were equally shaky at the moment.
The emperor said again: "If you can't stand still, you can go down and rest first."
"Thank you for your grace!" Tian Xili cupped his hands and said, "My lord... stand firm!"
Liu Yingqi also said: "I... I am..."
thump.
Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground.
But the ground seemed to be pierced with knives. As soon as he fell down, he immediately bounced up, and he didn't know where the strength came from.
"Stand firm, my lord!" he said through gritted teeth.
Qingyangzi went to get Liu Xiao, but he still hasn't returned.
This matter between the Tian family and the Liu family is not over yet.
At a moment like this, no one wants to leave. There is still a chance to fight for it if you stay here. If you leave now, you can only wait for your fate!
The emperor stopped talking.
The ministers were also silent.
In front of the Ancestral Temple, there was an oppressive silence, as everyone was waiting for the results.
Not long after, a eunuch walked to the high platform where ordinary people were and whispered something.
Probably because it was time to leave and go home, most ordinary people left on the spot. Others stayed at the scene.
The officials and dignitaries present at the meeting were not so lucky. They had to wait here for the results.
The sun is gradually moving away, and this process is too slow.
until……
The figure in green shirt holding a sword slowly walked into the square carrying a person.
People breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what the outcome was, there was finally a result.
The anxious people first noticed Qingyangzi, and then noticed the person he was holding in his hand - the person was face down, with long hair hanging down, his hands intertwined, and tied with a broken rope.
Jiang Wang was holding the belt on his lower back and walking like this.
Some people couldn't help but frown.
No matter what Liu Xiao is, he is still a strong man with divine presence, and the strong must have dignity.
How can you, Jiang Wang, capture Liu Xiao? Don't you have a clue in your mind? Do you really think that because you are the best in the world, you can despise God?
It is really dissatisfying to carry the dignified Shenlin monk Liu Xiao like a chicken.
Xuanhuai Bo Liu Yingqi felt a huge sense of humiliation.
Today he was naked and flogged, and he, the Liu family's powerful spirit, was carried like this. The Liu family's face was almost trampled into the mud!
But when he looked at Jiang Wang, he found that he was not angry.
It wasn't that this matter wasn't worthy of his anger, it wasn't that Jiang Wang, who was in the limelight today, made him dare not be angry, but that he suddenly found that he really couldn't get angry.
The Liu family is already like this...
This is already the case with the Liu family!
Being stepped on a few times is a normal thing.
He thought he should just accept his fate.
The eyes of Tian Xili, the Marquis of Gaochang, were completely different. But his eyes did not fall on Jiang Wang, but always on Liu Xiao, with such intense murderous intent that he wanted to drink his blood and devour his flesh.
Jiang Wang didn't care what others looked at him.
He walked calmly and walked forward in the huge square.
His sword, in its scabbard.
Before entering the city, the sword had been sheathed.
It's an attitude.
He could have entered the city with his sword to show that he had confronted Tian Anping.
If the emperor asked, it would not be difficult to give Tian Anping some eye drops.
But then, would the emperor be happy to see this?
Secondly, regardless of what happened in the Hidden Star World, he had no grudge against the Tian family.
The confrontation at the gate of the city was because he had the imperial decree and he had no reason to act as a rival to Tian Anping.
He really has no need and is not willing to enmity with a top family.
He walked to the center of the square, put Liu Xiao down, and helped him stand still. Liu Xiao stood still.
At this moment, everyone could see that something was wrong with Liu Xiao's state.
Jiang Qingyang didn't mean to humiliate him, but now Liu Xiao couldn't control himself at all and could only be carried away!
Liu Yingqi, whose breath was weak, suddenly took a step forward and then paused.
Finally, I didn’t dare to do anything offensive again.
Jiang Wang then said politely: "Your Majesty, Jiang Wang is lucky to have lived up to his command!"
"Qingyangzi." Jiang Rumo asked, "What's wrong with Liu Xiao?"
Of course he couldn't fail to see Liu Xiao's state, so he was asking how Liu Xiao became like this.
"I don't know either." Jiang Wang said: "When I rushed to Jicheng, Liu Xiao was like this, hanging on the gate of Jicheng. I untied him and took him directly back to Linzi. There was no one on the way. delay."
All the distinguished officials present were moved!
Liu Xiao was not restrained, but was subdued before Jiang Wang arrived! And it seems that his mind has been damaged!
"What about Tian Anping?" Jiang Rumo asked.
Jiang Wang said: "Intact."
Tian Xili's eyes burst out with extreme joy at this moment, and he didn't know whether it was true or deliberately pretending.
Liu Yingqi immediately turned his head and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Tian family broke the contract, and Tian Anping dared to violate the order and break through!"
His reaction could be said to be fast, but it was already slow.
From the very beginning, Liu Xiao made a mistake when he broke into the city!
Liu Yingqi's various struggles at the ceremony today are like a microcosm of his struggles in the past ten years. He exhausted his talents, which were not outstanding, and devoted himself to restoring the glory of the Liu family. However, the successive lives and deaths of Mrs. Liu and Liu Shentong had already cut off the roots of the Liu family.
No matter how hard I struggled, it was useless.
The Emperor asked: "Qingyangzi, from your perspective, how good is Tian Anping's cultivation?"
Jiang Wang said impartially: "He should be still in the inner palace, but it has exceeded my understanding of the inner palace. From what I can see, he seems to have refined the inner palace rooms into the city!"
In fact, Tian Anping took the initiative to show him the scene of the inner palace room being vacated. It seems to be for his explanation in front of the Ancestral Temple at this moment.
From this point of view, Tian Anping is really not completely crazy.
All the distinguished officials in the square were shocked beyond words.
Tian Anping, who had his golden body and chalcedony broken, destroyed the Holy Tower, and was suppressed for ten years, was actually able to develop new tricks in the inner realm!
There are so many talented people in the world. If you just want to be "new", it is not difficult.
The hard thing is that while being “new”, it’s still strong enough!
How could Tian Anping not be strong if he was able to train Liu Xiao, who was cultivated by Shenlin, into such a state?
The arrival of gods from the inner palace and the outer tower is the right path of cultivation that has been honed by the sages of the human race for countless years.
In Jiang Rumo's view.
Tian Anping did not develop a new path. It was more like limiting his cultivation to the inner palace, skipping the limitations of cultivation, and increasing his combat power in advance. In view of the fact that this person has achieved divine presence before and has a peerless appearance, it is indeed possible to achieve this.
As for the more specific situation, he has not seen it personally and cannot judge.
It's just that the methods used by the inner government to show off are indeed incredible...
Above His Majesty Dan, the Emperor said: "You are going on my behalf, and I will see you when you see me. Since Tian Anping has not broken through, he is not disobeying the order. As for Liu Xiao..."
Liu Yingqi looked over in confusion and pleading.
At this fateful moment, Liu Xiao himself stood there blankly, with his lips slightly open and his eyes wide open, as if he was still trapped in some kind of fear.
The dignified monk Shenlin didn't know who he should be afraid of at this moment.
What a tragedy!
"Brother Xuan Huai, take it back and raise it."
The emperor seemed to sigh imperceptibly, stood up, left his seat, and walked out.
Han Ling, who stood silently, quickly shouted out a declaration——
"Get started!"
Liu Yingqi knelt down again and knocked his head heavily on the ground: "Thank you for your grace!"
