In front of the stables behind the inn, Wang Xiuwei did not expect that the visitors were Wu Ling and Yu Xiaoshu.
At this time, there were neat sounds of horse hooves coming from far away. After crossing the street outside the inn, they immediately ran towards the upper reaches of Qingxi River.
Watching Liu Yueshan distribute the snacks in his hands to the two boys, Wang Xiu frowned slightly and said: "The people in the City Lord's Mansion have already started moving. You two just stay in the inn and don't move around."
Yu Xiaoshu stuffed his mouth with snacks and shook his head after hearing this. After swallowing hard, he said in a drake voice: "No! It was Sister Tan'er who asked me to come to Miss Wang and you."
Wu Ling, who brought Yu Xiaoshu here, helped and said: "Xiaoshu said that he is familiar with the place in the west of the city, so I took him here."
Wang Xiu pondered for a moment, then a light flashed in his eyes, "Do you know those places where it is easiest to hide people?"
Yu Xiaoshu nodded repeatedly, "In the past, when I accompanied Sister Chunhua and the others, I would wander around by myself. There are several remote and uninhabited yards along the Qingxi River."
"Okay, tell me the location. You and Wu Ling should stay in this inn and don't run around." Wang Xiuwei thought to herself, if she could take advantage of the chaos to pick up the four oirans, they would be discovered. She wouldn't be able to Kill these small trees to death.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaoshu and Wu Ling suddenly shook their heads in explanation, pulled on their clothes that looked like a coachman's boy, and said: "Miss Wang, you are all very eye-catching. I will find some remote roads later. Only I can be the coachman." .”
I don’t know if Yu Xiaoshu’s words were made by Yu Xiaotan before, but they are indeed to the point.
The sound of horse hooves on the street outside indicated that there was not much time left for Wang Xiuwei and the others to discuss. She gritted her teeth and agreed, saying softly: "You two will stop in a remote place. If I save someone, I will come." Looking for you."
Wang Xiu slightly turned his head to look at Liu Yueshan, and was about to speak. Seeing the calm look on Liu Yueshan's face, he knew he couldn't persuade him, and said softly: "Then let's go, maybe we really won't need our help."
…
…
It's almost time, and the sun is almost in the middle of the sky.
On the other side of the river from the old courtyard of Qingxi, facing the nine ferry pavilions, there were densely packed crowds of people watching.
Right in front of the open space surrounded by the crowd, the general from the city lord's palace, with a sword hanging on his waist, loudly stated the crimes of the four oirans.
Conspired to collude with foreign enemies and assassinate the city lord's relatives.
The circulation of news is restricted by class. Most of the people watching are men. They have heard of some of Bai Liqun's evil deeds before, but when the news reached their ears, it was something that happened a long time ago.
What's more, after they hear it, their imagination will be squeezed out by the cumbersome daily life.
So what happened today was new enough for them.
The generals were still describing the crimes of the courtesans that had been fabricated long ago. The people were actually not at all curious about the specific crimes of the four courtesans. They took it easy once they heard it, but they maintained a tacit understanding of being fooled.
They just stretched their necks hard and looked past the speaking general and the row of soldiers behind him.
Those are the oirans... They are really beautiful women.
The four courtesan's clothes were flimsy and messy. Their hands were cut behind their backs and they fell limply to the ground. The men who were watching had never seen so many beauties appearing together, and they all looked at them unscrupulously.
They even maliciously speculated on what happened to these beautiful women in prison. While they were daydreaming about it, they also had some different feelings because they were not those powerful people.
When men face women, especially beautiful women, they will always have some unrealistic desire to conquer and protect.
So although they don’t know whether Bai Liqun did anything bad, it doesn’t stop them from secretly complaining that it would be better if Bai Liqun died...
When someone complained that he was blocking the view, Hou Yiyong sneered inwardly and finally stopped his performance.
Today was just a show, and he risked being shot and talking for so long, which was probably enough in the eyes of the city lord.
only……
He glanced at the lowly men who stretched their necks because he led the team to get out of the way. After searching for a while, he didn't find any suspicious targets. He couldn't help but said to himself with a slight worry: "It seems that I guessed it right. A top killer like Zhu Yeqing, even a woman, cannot appear just because of a few cheap lives."
There was still half an hour before the execution at noon. Hou Yiyong walked towards the pavilion at the edge with doubts in his heart.
"What did you find?" asked a calm voice.
Hou Yiyong lowered his head after entering the pavilion. When he heard the question, he immediately replied: "I didn't expect so many people to come at once. It is difficult for me to find the suspicious person."
"I can't blame you."
The fragrance of tea lingered on the stone platform of the pavilion. Bai Hao waved to Hou Yiyong to sit down opposite him and said with a chuckle: "This is originally an opportunity given to Zhu Yeqing. It depends on whether she dares to take it."
Hou Yiyong stopped predicting, but under Bai Hao's calm but majestic gaze, he still said: "I don't think that these women alone can catch each other out. City Lord, should we add more fire?"
Without much surprise, Bai Hao picked up the teacup and took a sip and asked, "Can you protect that kid Liqun?"
Hou Yiyong did not pat his chest to assure himself, but looked at the guard standing behind Bai Hao.
The guard had a thin face and gray hair and ran out of the helmet. Feeling Hou Yiyong's cautious and inquiring gaze, he raised his eyes, put his hand on the sword at his waist and said: "The sword has no eyes. "
Ji Xiu looked at the back of Bai Hao's sitting figure with the golden sword, and felt a little uncomfortable, so he explained a little more: "When life and death are at stake, any accident may happen. The city lord should understand this truth."
Bai Hao squinted his eyes and looked at the dark crowd standing outside the court in the sunlight. They were all the people under his rule. Unfortunately, they were also a group of the most useless and stupid people.
People should play their due value.
"Since Li Qun has been aiming to execute him personally, let him do it. It's not good to feel depressed and suppressed."
Hou Yiyong took the order and left the pavilion with the four-character plaque "Tingmei Xiaozhu" and all the elite guards guarding the pavilion. It seemed that in his mind, he had never considered protecting Bai Hao. The safety of the Lord of Suzaku City.
Ji Xiu's eyes drifted across the river below the pavilion, which was faster than other places due to its narrow channel, and he said softly: "What if Zhuyeqing still doesn't take action?"
"What should I do? Then find a better opportunity."
The sunshine near noon in midsummer already had a bit of a deadly smell. The four oirans fell limply to the ground and could not move, and were blasted for nearly an hour. I am afraid that they would have died before the execution at noon. The people who were watching were also confused for a moment. There are a few more slight "let them go" sounds.
It's a pity that these four oirans only have so little value in Bai Hao's eyes, so he doesn't even bother to look at them, but looks at the silent buildings on the other side of the river.
Ji Xiu felt the firm determination in Bai Hao's heart and was really a little puzzled, "I didn't expect that you would be in such a big position once you took action."
Bai Hao said coldly: "A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, not to mention the assassin who is still on the Heavenly Ranking. Even if she has not broken through to the spiritual realm, it is reasonable to treat her with this standard."
"You seem pretty sure she will take action?" Ji Xiu asked.
"If she doesn't take action, someone will." Bai Hao was noncommittal, squinting his eyes and sighing softly: "My previous thoughts were still too mild. Now that the current situation has brought about this, instead of taking action against me when others are ready, it is better to do it after I When you feel you still have some advantages, take the initiative."
Ji Xiu narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "I almost forgot, then you still haven't said what level you are in."
"Did you find out soon after the fight started?" Bai Hao stood up and looked towards the field ahead.
At this time, Bai Liqun led a large group of elite soldiers and rushed towards the four oirans. His face was pale and his eyes were extremely gloomy.
Having lost the most important thing in a man, he was really depressed to the extreme in the first day or two after waking up. After endless pain, he also gave birth to endless anger.
Especially when he was surrounded by many masters and walked towards the bitches lying on the ground, he felt for the first time that for men, rights were more important than beauty.
Snapped--
A black whip shadow streaked through the air, looking extremely eye-catching under the scorching sun.
Before Baili's group could get closer, they pulled out the long whips in their hands and dropped them on the courtesans.
This long whip is made of thousands of dried wattle vines, and there are still countless tiny barbs on it. Every time the whip falls, it will inevitably take away the broken skirts of the oiran and the broken pieces. Meat.
The people watching fell into silence almost instantly, but the next moment they started talking louder than before.
But Bai Liqun didn't see those untouchables in his eyes. He smelled the permeating smell of blood, and his still weak body instinctively retched. Hou Yiyong on the side couldn't stand it anymore and tried to support him, but he whipped him. wave away.
Giving the ignorant Hou Yiyong a vicious look, Bai Liqun looked at the oiran who was crouching at his feet, sobbing, finally letting out a little of his pain and depression after having a physical defect.
But this is not enough.
"Bring me something up."
Upon hearing this, a soldier immediately brought a wooden barrel, which was filled with water. Bai Liqun neatly soaked the whip in the barrel for a while, and then whipped the oirans on the ground.
Well--
"Quechun, you are a bitch and a bitch. You are just a prison officer, but you dare to pretend to be noble in front of me."
Among the four oirans on the ground, Bai Liqun targeted the woman in green shirt who was closest to him and beat him violently. It was Que Chun who had sent the maid to report the news to Liu Yueshan.
Bai Liqun looked at a face that was wrinkled, but he could still see the beautiful face of Chu Chun. He looked at her biting her lip without saying a word and screaming. His attacks became harder and harder, and one of the whips hit Chu Chun directly. On her face, there were blood marks from willow leaves on her eyebrows.
"You bitch, you have always refused to serve me before. I will definitely kill you today." Bai Liqun stepped on Chu Chun's face with his foot. The anger accumulated in his heart finally found an outlet, and he stepped hard on Chu Chun's face with his soles. Looking sideways, he smiled with a sharp voice: "Are these wounds on your body starting to itch? Do they feel very painful?"
"To tell you the truth, the most powerful aphrodisiac was put into the salt water on my whip. Once the potion takes effect, I will throw you among the untouchables who take pity on you. When I think about it, you will be so horny. If you burn yourself, they will definitely rush to save you."
"You...are just a beast."
Quechun knew that he was going to die today, but he didn't expect that he would have to suffer such inhuman torture before he died. After struggling hard for a moment, he turned around and spit out a mouthful of blood on Bai Liqun's trousers.
