When they entered the courtyard, the sight before them surprised them even more!
I saw a large group of people gathered in the courtyard wall, and three middle-aged men in rich clothes stood on the stage, lecturing loudly to the audience.
Lu Xiangnan and everyone squeezed into the crowd and looked inside.
There was a huge crowd of people at the scene, and the middle of the courtyard was completely surrounded. Everyone was staring eagerly at the stage.
The man who lectured loudly on the stage was tall and slim, wearing a purple robe and a bright red cloak. The cloak was flying like flowing clouds. He looked so majestic!
Just listen to the man say loudly: "In the past hundred years since its establishment, Flying Eagle Castle has experienced so many bloody storms! It is simply wishful thinking and overestimating one's ability for such a few unworthy traitors to want to disturb Flying Eagle Castle. Today, we are calling everyone together. I came here just to testify that Flying Eagle Castle will never let a traitor go.
Those who betray Flying Eagle Castle have only one fate, and that is death! Here, I also advise those with ulterior motives to give up the idea of surrendering to the enemy and rebelling as soon as possible! Otherwise, the fate of these people will be your examples! "
The crowd started to become noisy, and everyone started discussing the incident. Some denounced the shameful behavior of the traitors, some lamented their tragic fate, and some said that they deserved to die and had committed such a serious crime and did not deserve sympathy.
Some timid women and children were so frightened that they hid their faces with their hands and couldn't bear to look directly. The state of death with the head in a different place was too tragic. They were not from the martial arts world, and they had never seen such a horrific scene before.
Lu Xiangnan looked calm. These people were originally the capable men who followed the late old fort master Lu Tianxiao in Flying Eagle Castle. When the old fort master was still alive, they were loyal, hard-working and did not dare to have second thoughts.
But three years ago, the old fort master passed away due to illness. These people did not obey the current fort master Sima Hong, so they united and deliberately rebelled. But after all, they underestimated Sima Hong's abilities and methods.
In fact, Sima Hong has long been aware of their wolfish ambitions. Although she is highly valued by the old fort master, she is not from the Flying Eagle Castle. As for why the old fort master appreciates her so much? There are also different opinions in Feiying Castle. Some say that she is the adopted daughter recognized by the old castle owner, some say that she is the woman whom the old castle owner worships as his brother, and even worse, they say that she is the child raised by the old castle owner. concubine!
After all, paper can't contain the fire. As time goes by, these rumors will naturally reach Sima Hong's ears. She can't bear these gossips, so she summons her close friends to secretly investigate who is spreading the rumors. It turns out that the culprit is Lao Yong. The few capable men around the castle master.
They have followed the old fort master for decades and have always been loyal to him. Seeing that the old fort master has been suffering from diseases and his body and bones are getting worse in recent years, they think that after the old fort master gives up and goes west, Flying Eagle Castle will fall into their hands. within personal control. Faced with such a magnificent foundation, everyone will inevitably salivate.
Moreover, over the years, they have fought hard for Flying Eagle Castle and made indelible achievements. Logically speaking, taking control of Flying Eagle Castle seemed to be a foregone conclusion, but they never thought that the old castle master Lu Tianxiao had other plans. Before his death, he actually passed on the throne of the Chief Executive to an unknown outsider, and she was also a woman.
But they never expected that this old immortal would be so careless about his old friendship and cause such a scene! How could they swallow this bad breath, so they held a grudge against Lu Tianxiao and Sima Hong. After careful planning, several people plotted a rebellion, secretly winning people's hearts and cultivating power, eager to eliminate Sima Hong and his group. And then quickly.
But Sima Hong was not a creature in the pool. He noticed that they had different intentions, so he was well prepared. Before they could rise up, he secretly sent a killer to eradicate them first.
Therefore, after killing them, their heads were cut off and their bodies were exposed in the courtyard for three days as a tribute to others. The purpose of this move is to deter those remnants who want to rebel!
Just after Chen hour today, Sima Hong summoned all the people in Flying Eagle Castle to hold this public rebellion meeting as a warning to the monkeys!
The heads of the five traitors were hung on the castle for public display, and their bodies were dumped in the wilderness to feed wild dogs.
In addition to the people from the Flying Eagle Fort, there were also many Jianghu comrades at the scene. This also allowed them to see Sima Hong's methods. No one would dare to take a peek at the Flying Eagle Fort in the future! This is what Sima Hong wants to achieve.
The man lecturing on the stage was named Qiu Shiqiang. He was the personal guard who came to Feiying Castle with Sima Hong three years ago. On the surface, he was Sima Hong's bodyguard, but in fact he was Sima Hong's trusted confidant. But at this moment, except for those three people speaking on the stage, there was no sign of Sima Hong!
Lu Xiangnan couldn't help but wonder: Why didn't Sima Hong show up? There are many people coming today, maybe Lei Zhentian is among the crowd.
He thought for a while, moved to Xu Feng's side, leaned close to his ear and said, "Brother Xu, I see there are many people here today. Maybe the Lei Zhentian you are looking for is inside. Let's split up and look around?"
Xu Feng nodded slowly and said: "Brother Lu is right, let's take this opportunity to look carefully!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Liu Ruyan and Luo Xiangxue. He moved closer to them and said to them: "Let's pay more attention, maybe Lei Zhentian is among these people. Brother Lu and I will go to the south, and you two will go to the north. We will meet back here later!"
Liu Ruyan and Luo Xiangxue looked at each other and nodded in agreement to Xu Feng.
Lu Xiangnan and Xu Feng squeezed into the crowd of onlookers. The surroundings were crowded and dark, and they were surrounded by water. They looked around frequently and carefully observed the clothes and demeanor of these people. Among them were many people dressed in strange costumes. Everyone was staring at the field silently. Some were holding strange-shaped weapons, but they could not see where they came from.
Here, Liu Ruyan and Luo Xiangxue were also mixed in the crowd, carefully searching for Lei Zhentian's shadow. Liu Ruyan said to Luo Xiangxue: "Xiangxue, do you remember Uncle Lei's appearance? He is tall and has a full face. He had a gray beard and wore a short-sleeved vest. The most easily identifiable thing was the spear in his hand. This was the last time I saw him."
Luo Xiangxue said thoughtfully: "Well, I took note of it, Brother Liu! Let's search carefully again! Maybe he is really here." The two of them crowded in the crowd, looking around and here. Most of them are people from within Flying Eagle Castle, as well as vendors who come here from outside to do business, and some people who travel around the world! The two of them searched for a while, but they saw a few people dressed similarly to Lei Zhentian. They took a closer look, but they were not themselves.
The lecturer on the high platform had jumped down and ordered his subordinates to throw the five corpses into a mass grave in the wilderness. Five bloody heads were hung on the highest wall of the castle to deter those traitors with ulterior motives.
When everyone saw the five heads hanging high, there was an uproar in the crowd, everyone was talking about it, and they all looked very frightened. Some timid people even turned their backs and did not dare to look directly.
At this time, a tall and slim man with a horse face suddenly jumped up to the high platform, waved to everyone, and shouted loudly: "Today's public rebellion meeting has come to an end, everyone should disperse!" When everyone heard this, the crowd There was a burst of noise, and they dispersed in twos and threes.
Suddenly, an old man with a red face and full of energy jumped out from the crowd, holding a three-meter-long silver gun in his hand, and shot towards the high platform like an arrow.
I saw a silhouette of a person flashing, and the well-dressed old man was already standing firmly on the high platform, just a few feet away from a middle-aged man in a broad robe, with the shining silver tip pointed directly at the middle-aged man's heart. Seeing that the tip of the gun was only more than a foot away from the middle-aged man's chest. The middle-aged man in the broad robe turned pale with fright and hurriedly retreated.
At this unprepared moment, the middle-aged man in a broad robe tried his best to dodge out of self-preservation instinct to avoid this menacing and fatal blow. But the distance between the two was too close, and the incident happened so suddenly that the man in the broadcloak was unable to avoid it.
