When Gu Xiaotian returned to Mobei City, he saw many people gathered in the streets, gathering in a pile, and many people crowded in, as if there was something lively to see there.
Gu Xiaotian also joined the crowd and looked at where the people were looking. Qiu Feng was standing at the top with a solemn expression, and next to him was Xingfeng, who looked downcast.
Xingfeng was unkempt, his clothes were in rags, and his hands and feet were shackled. At this time, Xingfeng didn't look half like the noble family head he once was.
The people were talking a lot.
"Hey, why is Mr. Xing looking like this? Could it be that things are going to change again in the Northern Wilderness?" Another commoner hurriedly stopped him and made a booing gesture.
"It's not easy to talk nonsense, let's just take a look." The crowd was very noisy. A crazy laughter sounded, and the people shut up and looked at the person who made the laughter.
Yukikaze's laughter lasted for a long time. First it was madness, then calmness, then laughter, and finally the laughter became very sad.
The people all felt that Mr. Xing was probably crazy. Yesterday he was still the aloof and arrogant master, but now he was treated like a death row prisoner.
Qiu Feng, who had been silent for the whole time, suddenly cleared his throat and said: "This general is here to pronounce the verdict. Xingfeng attempted to rebel and violated the laws of the dynasty. He is now beheaded as a warning to the public!" As soon as this statement came out, many people in the audience The people were all astonished.
Although seeing Xingfeng look like this, you don't even need to guess to know that he must have been defeated. But the Xing family has been in the Northern Wasteland for so many years and has gone through many ups and downs, but in the end they ended up being sentenced to death?
Many people were a little sad. In the audience, some people actually still yearned for the day when Beihuang became a king with a different surname. They could not help but loudly reported the injustice to Xingfeng: "The Xing family has made outstanding contributions to our Mobei and to Beihuang. General Qiu should not treat him like this. he!"
"What you said is true. If it weren't for the Xing family, our people's lives might not be as comfortable as they are now!"
"On behalf of some people in Mobei, we implore General Qiu to raise his noble hand and let the young master survive!" If someone takes the lead, countless others will naturally follow.
Qiu Feng faintly glanced at the people who were avenging the injustice. They are said to be ordinary people, but most of them are people from some aristocratic families. Most of them have interests in the Xing family. They are not stupid. They know that if the Xing family is in trouble, they will be implicated to some extent.
As for the other people, most of them were real fools, but Qiu Feng didn't care much about these people.
A descendant of a famous family suddenly asked loudly: "General Qiu, aren't you afraid of arousing public anger by doing this?" Qiu Feng glanced at the disciple and said calmly: "This general is just acting in accordance with the laws of the day. That's all." The descendant of the family said reluctantly: "General Qiu, this is in the Northern Wilderness. It's not difficult for you to turn a blind eye."
"It's not difficult to be a good person. It's no wonder that Beihuang is like this." Gu Xiaotian suddenly said loudly in the crowd. The people turned around and looked at this public enemy of Beihuang, and then made way for Gu Xiaotian. Slowly walked up to the child of the family and asked: "Beihuang is also part of the world. Do you really think that Beihuang has become the second king with a different surname?" The child of the family was choked by this and felt a little embarrassed.
At this time, there are some things in your heart that you cannot say. The descendants of the family waved their hands,
"What nonsense! Everyone sees the Xing family's contribution to the Northern Wilderness. If the Xing family is thrown into hell just because of such a trivial matter, wouldn't it chill everyone's heart?" Gu Xiaotian sneered. : "A trivial matter? If rebellion is a trivial matter in your eyes, how can it be considered a big matter?" The disciples of the family were so rebuffed by Gu Xiaotian that their faces turned red.
They are all smart people. How could they not be clear about this kind of thing? It's just that in Beihuang, these families have made special exceptions in some matters before, so they formed this concept now.
What's more, this is also related to the future of his family, and this descendant of the famous family can only mess around here.
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Which aristocratic family do you come from?" The disciple of the aristocratic family took a step back and said with a gloomy face: "Why, could it be that I said some fair words here today, and you can't stand it, and you still want to Will it implicate our family?" This time, Gu Xiaotian smiled helplessly.
To be fair? Damn your motherfucker! Gu Xiaotian's hand had slowly touched the scabbard, and he suddenly said in a cold voice: "Remember, the person who killed you is named Gu Xiaotian!" Then Wu Feng took out the scabbard.
The sword light passed by, and before the noble family member could shout anything, he was already covering his neck. Blood seeped out from between his fingers. His eyes widened with an unbelievable look on his face, and he fell down with a plop. Falling to the ground, unable to get up again.
Gu Xiaotian was not looking at the body of the son of the noble family. He just gently wiped the blood on Wu Feng, turned to face the stunned people, and said loudly: "If anyone still insists on saving Xingfeng, please do it." Treat him as Xingfeng's accomplice!" Seeing that Gu Xiaotian dared to kill people in public, the disciples of the noble family who were still making noise and clamoring wisely shut their mouths.
This matter, no matter how much it is said, is all unreasonable for me. However, they are used to being domineering in the Northern Wilderness, and some things have long been taken for granted, so they dare to be so arrogant.
And Gu Xiaotian's killing in public this time was undoubtedly an act of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. Qiu Feng frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied.
According to the law, killing someone in Mobei City is actually a serious crime. However, although Qiufeng people are a little more relaxed, at this time, they also know what is most important and what is secondary.
What's more, judging from the current situation, the destruction of the Xing family is a certainty, and those families affiliated with the Xing family will always have to settle accounts later.
This is actually a bit of a double standard. But at this moment, he still focused on Xingfeng. Qiu Feng waved his hand and immediately called an executioner.
The executioner walked up to Xingfeng with the ghost head sword in hand, slowly raised the ghost head sword, and waited for Qiu Feng's order.
Xingfeng just lowered his head at this time. The expression on his face was calm. Suddenly, he looked towards the audience and said to Gu Xiaotian: "Gu Xiaotian, can I ask you something?" This was the first time Xingfeng said the word "please".
At this time, Gu Xiaotian naturally stopped putting on airs and just nodded.
"Tell me, if I can do it." Xingfeng smiled sadly,
"Can you leave a heir for the Xing family?" Gu Xiaotian raised his eyebrows and asked, "To facilitate a comeback in the future?"
"Whatever you think, it is inevitable that the Xing family will be wiped out. After I die, no one can stop it. But after all, the Xing family has gone through so many ups and downs in the Northern Wilderness, and there will always be something. Leave a legacy to prove that the Xing family has been here before." Gu Xiaotian took a deep breath and did not reply, but said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this."
"Xingfeng, have a good trip." Xingfeng smiled calmly. After that, Qiu Feng waved his hand, and the executioner immediately raised his knife and slashed Xingfeng's neck with the ghost head sword. Xingfeng's head fell to the ground with a sound.
There was silence under the stage. The executioner kicked the corpse away quickly, and there was no blood on it. Looking at Xingfeng's severed head, Gu Xiaotian finally let out a long breath.
This biggest opponent in the Northern Wilderness finally paid the price for his actions. But after thinking about it, Gu Xiaotian felt that he was also lucky. If someone didn't want him to die, I'm afraid his end would not be any better than Xingfeng's now.
.........The crowd dispersed. Qiu Feng slowly walked off the stage, came to Gu Xiaotian, and said in a deep voice: "Gu Xiaotian, this general will break his precept today. He will turn a blind eye or close an eye to your murder in public. In the future, Don't mention it to anyone." Gu Xiaotian made a sign and said: "General Qiu is really a great man." Qiu Feng said: "The matter has been resolved. If you dare to do such nonsense in the future, I will still handle it in accordance with the law. I'll kill you." Gu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "General Qiu is surprised that the matter has not been completely resolved." Qiu Feng asked: "What else are you trying to do?" Gu Xiaotian said calmly: "General Qiu, destroy it. Can you leave the matter of the Xing family to me?" Qiu Feng immediately refused.
Gu Xiaotian sighed and said: "General Qiu must have heard the conversation just now clearly. I have to leave a successor for the Xing family." Qiu Feng was a little suspicious.
Isn't the destruction of the Xing family what Gu Xiaotian wants to see the most? Why do you want to jump out and be a good old man now and help the Xing family keep a heir?
After a while, Qiu Feng figured out who the person Gu Xiaotian wanted to protect. Among the children of the Xing family, there are two left alive, an eldest daughter and a younger daughter.
Asuka has always been involved in this incident, but not much. On the contrary, he is like a person sitting on a high place to watch the scenery. He only occasionally comes down to protect a flower that is about to be stepped on.
Then only Yukika is left. Qiu Feng said: "I promise you, general, not to kill Xingxiang." If we really want to judge the crime, Xingxiang is indeed a little unjust. She did not participate in the rebellion. On the contrary, she helped Gu Xiaotian. This is no longer a secret. .
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said: "General Qiu, it's not just about not killing Xingxiang." Qiu Feng frowned and said angrily: "Gu Xiaotian, don't push yourself too far!" Gu Xiaotian shook his head and pointed behind him. Xu Ran and Xu Ji said: "General Qiu, once the Xing family falls, there will be more small aristocratic families trying to take over this position. But the small aristocratic families are small aristocratic families after all, and their strength is not much different. If they start fighting for each other by then, I'm afraid It's another round of bloodshed. At this time, someone strong enough needs to stand up and suppress these small aristocratic families." Xu Ran and Xu Ji looked at Gu Xiaotian gratefully.
The Xu family was massacred in Mobei City, and today Gu Xiaotian wants to seek justice for the Xu family.
He has not forgotten the promise he made. The Xu family will come back sooner or later. Qiu Feng remained silent.
Regarding this matter, Gu Xiaotian is actually right. Qiu Feng also understood that the advantages of this matter outweighed the disadvantages, and there was nothing wrong with letting Gu Xiaotian do it. However, this was also the time to establish prestige. If he could keep his word, he would be able to manage Mobei City better in the future. Some satisfaction.
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I know what General Qiu is worried about, but it's actually not difficult to solve." Qiu Feng glanced at Gu Xiaotian and said lightly: "Tell me about it."
"General Qiu, we can do this together to wipe out the entire Xing family, and then we can go separately to settle the accounts with the queens of those small aristocratic families. In this way, the prestige of the Xu family and you will be established."
"In Mobei City, both General Qiu and the Xu family are indispensable. You two can join forces, so that Mobei City will be better." Gu Xiaotian said loudly: "Those people are just It will make you feel more at ease." Hearing this, Qiu Feng nodded.
Xu Ran slowly walked up to Qiu Feng, stretched out his hand, and said: "General Qiu, Xu Ran, the head of the Xu family, requests General Qiu to become allies with the Xu family and jointly govern Mobei City!" Qiu Feng was stunned for a long time. Finally, he reached out his hand and shook Xu Ran's hand gently.
Gu Xiaotian was smiling happily. All is well.
