Zhang Fu's son is not considered a repeat offender of the imperial court, so when he is executed, there will not be too many officers and soldiers accompanying him. It is not too difficult for the Flying Eagle Society to snatch him out on the execution ground. matter.
According to the current strength of the Flying Eagle Society, it is very possible to capture Heishan County even with a strong attack, but the casualties will be huge. Ye Ying is not willing to lose the strength he finally gathered together under any circumstances.
The biggest trouble now is that the execution place is in Heishan County. After robbing people, it is very troublesome to withdraw, because the officers and soldiers only need to close the city gate and guard the city wall with heavy troops. There's a big price to pay to get out.
Ye Ying's principle has always been to get things done at the minimum cost. This time, after imagining what might happen with the village leaders, he finally formulated a plan that he thought was relatively perfect.
Wearing a dark red dress, she wore a long hairpin on her head, and her hair was tied up high. Although she was pretending to be a married woman, she couldn't hide Fan Lingyan's pure and somewhat elf-like temperament.
If you observe carefully, you can see the smile that cannot be concealed on Fan Lingyan's face. Originally, Fan Lingyan didn't have much interest in Heishan County and his party, and he didn't even understand why Ye Ying would mobilize all his troops to save a businessman's son.
But when she heard that she and Ye Ying were going to pretend to be husband and wife this time, she immediately became interested and even dragged along the four maids who were always with her, Chunxiang, Xia He, Qiuyue and Dongqin.
After all preparations were completed, Ye Ying disguised himself as a merchant passing through, took his "family" and twenty or thirty "servants", and deliberately stopped and walked all the way to Heishan County where Zhang Fu's son was imprisoned.
Of course, this group of people was not alone in the Eagle Coming Down the Mountain this time. In order not to arouse the alert of the government, more than two hundred bandits disguised themselves as beggars, farmers, and walking monks, and had already sneaked into Heishan County without anyone noticing.
"Ms. sir, there is a tea shop ahead. I'm a little thirsty. Can we have a rest at the tea shop over there and drink some tea before we go on our way." In the carriage, Fan Lingyan held Ye Ying's arm and said softly. , which made everyone on the side almost laugh out loud, this pungent little pepper could actually talk like this.
"Since Madam is thirsty, let's go to the front and rest for a while." Hearing Fan Lingyan's words, Ye Ying couldn't help but frown secretly. This guy had the most things to do along the way. Sometimes he was tired, sometimes he was thirsty, and sometimes he was hungry. In short, he left After a short journey, he would take a rest.
Anyway, there was no need to rush, so Ye Ying tried his best to comply with Fan Lingyan's wishes. If he angered this guy, it would be troublesome for him to give up the job at this time.
Hearing Ye Ying's words, Fan Lingyan couldn't help but feel proud of herself. Seeing the guy's deflated look, she managed to hold back her laughter.
However, letting Fan Lingyan play Ye Ying's wife this time was the right thing to do. This girl got into the role very quickly and quickly devoted herself to her role. She sometimes acted coquettishly and sometimes wiped the sweat from her "husband's" forehead. She really had the flavor of a real husband and wife.
No, the two of them sat down in the tea shop. Fan Lingyan, who had been thirsty just now, was no longer in a hurry. She slowly picked up a bowl of tea, felt the temperature in the bowl, and just took a sip. , he sat there leisurely, smiling from time to time, not knowing what he was happy about?
"Third Master, please come in!" At this moment, three more people walked into the tea shop. The leader was a middle-aged man in rich clothes, about thirty-eight or nineteen years old, while the two people behind him were wearing rough clothes. The clothes seemed to belong to the servants of this middle-aged man in fine clothes, and the one who made the sound was one of the servants.
The two servants following the middle-aged man stared at Ye Ying several times for some unknown reason. Ye Ying also noticed the gazes of these two servants, but he had no impression of these two people. So I chose to remain silent.
It seems that this middle-aged man has an extraordinary status, but Ye Ying is not interested in these people. His mission is to enter Heishan County and rescue Zhang Fu's son, and he does not want to cause trouble.
"Madam, you've almost rested, let's go!" Ye Ying felt something was wrong, so he said to Fan Lingyan who was sitting beside him.
Fan Lingyan was almost rested, so he stood up and followed Ye Ying out of the tea shop.
What neither of them noticed was that after they walked out of the tea shop, one of the two servants immediately put his mouth in the middle-aged man's ear and quietly said something to the middle-aged man.
Although he had some doubts, Ye Ying still moved forward with his people. After all, such a large operation could not be terminated because of this without even a clue.
"Master, the situation has changed." Ye Ying and his party successfully entered the county town. As soon as they settled in an inn, Gui Sanniang, who was responsible for inquiring about the news in the early stage, provided him with a piece of news.
This time, Zhang Fu's son was also asked to behead more than 20 bandits who were captured in Zeng Chi's bandit suppression operation some time ago.
Hearing the news, Ye Ying couldn't help but frowned. With so many bandits being killed at the same time, the government would definitely send additional manpower, which would undoubtedly make the rescue operation of the Flying Eagle Club more difficult. If it is serious, not only will no one be able to be saved, but the rest of the group may not be able to escape.
It seemed that the risk factor of this operation would increase a lot. Several people who were traveling with him suggested to Ye Ying to simply cancel the operation. There was no need to let the brothers take such a big risk for an outsider.
Even Qi Jiao and Shan Fu, who supported Ye Ying the most, quietly suggested to Ye Ying that he must proceed with caution. Faced with this situation, Ye Ying had no choice but to agree to everyone to act according to the plan for the time being. If the risk was too great, he would quietly withdraw to Fuhu Mountain.
The day of execution arrived. Seeing his son tied up on a wooden stake with a burly executioner beside him, Zhang Fu was anxious. He looked around anxiously, but he didn't find the person he expected to see. .
At this time, Zhang Fu was extremely anxious, and at the same time, he felt deep regret. He was also anxious and confused. How could he believe those bandits and place his hope for his son on them.
There have been many beheadings in Heishan County over the years, but it has never been on such a large scale as it is today. About thirty prisoners to be beheaded were lined up in a row, with a huge wooden sign stuck behind them, and behind them was the executioner with a serious look on his face. .
A group of serious-looking officers and soldiers, fully armed, stood in the middle of the field, separating the onlookers from the execution area.
Zhang Fu, like other relatives of the prisoners to be slaughtered, gave his son a bowl of guillotine wine, but his mind was not on this matter. He kept looking around, hoping to see the flying eagle meeting the gangsters. traces.
Seeing that the time was getting closer and closer to noon, the execution time was coming soon. Seeing that there was no movement around, Zhang Fu was completely desperate. He was tightly squeezed by the crowd who came to watch the execution, and stared blankly at the executioner. The son tied there.
"Noon has arrived, and the execution has begun." As the prison officer shouted, Zhang Fu, who was completely desperate, fainted and fell to the ground.
The executioners showed their swords, each sprayed a sip of wine on the knife, and then raised the sword high. The bright light of the knife made people's eyes hurt.
Seeing that the execution was about to begin, the scene immediately became chaotic. The relatives of those who were to be executed began to cry and shout, while the group of melon eaters who were watching the excitement began to make a fuss with expectant eyes.
Suddenly there was a scream on the mountain road, followed by a second, third... Some timid people couldn't bear to watch the heads fall to the ground, and lowered their heads involuntarily.
But strangely, those watching quickly discovered that the screams were not the prisoners who were about to be beheaded, but the executioners who were preparing for execution and the officers and soldiers nearby.
At this moment, at least seven or eight executioners had been hit by arrows. Some fell to the ground because they were too heavy. Others hurriedly hid or fled in all directions. The scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Someone is robbing the execution ground!" Everyone present finally reacted and watched as the people immediately ran around, fearing that they would be accidentally injured by the upcoming battle.
The officers and soldiers responsible for protecting the scene did not react for a while, because in the history of Heishan County, there had never been any experience of the execution site being robbed, and they did not believe that this incident was true.
The hesitation of the officers and soldiers gave the Feiying Gang an opportunity. Under the leadership of several masters, Ye Ying, Qi Jiao, Shan Fu and Fan Lingyan, they quickly broke through the officers and soldiers' defense line and approached the prisoners to be executed.
And the executioners who were next to the prisoners didn't dare to stop these wolf-like bandits. They fled in all directions, for fear that if they ran too slowly, they would become the victims of the bandits.
Only then did the officers and soldiers react, but at this time, they had lost control of the prisoners. The officials on the scene quickly divided them into two parts. One part protected the officials who were supervising the execution, and the other part went up to fight with the bandits. The two sides quickly stood together. .
Ye Ying quickly came to a prisoner named Zhang Quan, who was Zhang Fu's son. He waved the big knife in his hand, and cut off the rope on Zhang Quan's body with two knives, and handed the big knife to him.
At this time, the bandits who were close to those who were beheading the prisoners also started to cut off the ropes of all the prisoners and distributed weapons to them.
"If you want to survive, fight out with me!" Even in this noisy atmosphere, Qi Jiao's voice was still very loud, so that everyone present could hear it.
These prisoners were ready to be beheaded, but now that the situation has reversed, who wants to leave their lives here?
Stimulated by the desire to survive, these prisoners became extremely brave. They picked up the weapons in their hands and rushed towards the officers and soldiers, quickly breaking the deadlock on the field and killing the officers and soldiers who were retreating steadily.
"Let's retreat to the east gate together!" The bandits shouted loudly in the crowd according to their pre-planned plan.
What he saw in front of him stunned Zhang Fu, who had just woken up. He stood there motionless, with tears of excitement in his eyes, not believing that this thing was true.
"Hurry up and leave!" A young man stabbed an officer and soldier with a gun and grabbed Zhang Fu's arm, which brought him back to his senses.
It was Ye Ying who held Zhang Fu back. After thinking about it, he decided to carry out the action of robbing the law field according to the original plan.
Previously, he led the bandits to hide among the people and secretly observed the situation at the scene. He decided not only to rescue Zhang Fu's son, but also to rescue the more than 20 bandits who were waiting to be executed.
