In order to prevent anyone who was brave enough to rob the execution ground or any unpredictable situation to occur, everyone still brought their own weapons. If they really wanted to fight, they no longer had to rely on just two fists.
Shen Haolin took a single sword from the weapons shelf. The Kung Fu of the Shen family is the sword. There are all kinds of sword manuals and sword techniques in the library, which are very complete. He has been in the old country since he was a child. Under the supervision of the master, he has mastered all these very skillfully. He can use any sword, such as the sword, double sword, single sword, etc. very smoothly. He is not like others who are completely at a loss when changing types. look.
Shen Cha did not use her black gold long whip, but chose a riding crop made of cowhide. Although it was not as valuable as the black gold long whip, it was very lethal when whipped, and it would still hurt if it was hit. You have to live and die. The people of Shadow are very familiar with this whip. If they make a mistake that requires their boss to take action, they are usually greeted by this whip.
Compared with weapons such as knives and whips, Xue Ruitian doesn't like such violent weapons very much. If he is not on the battlefield, he will always carry his fan wherever he goes. He felt that fighting with a fan looked particularly cool and made him feel like a worldly expert. His fan looks ordinary and ordinary. At first glance, you would mistake it for an ordinary paper fan. In fact, it is made of pure gold. However, Xue Ruitian disliked gold as it was too tacky, so he specially found a skilled craftsman in the palace to carry it out. After some modification, it doesn't look as lustrous as pure gold and is less eye-catching.
Among these people, the one who uses the most special weapons is Jin Jing. Although as a military advisor, Jin Jing has very few opportunities to go to the battlefield, but Jin Jing is a military general after all, and the official position he was awarded was also a military general's official position. He has no special skills. Proud military exploits are absolutely impossible. His weapon is a refined iron claw that can be put on his hand. Being scratched by this claw will be serious, and it is considered lucky if the claws are not scratched.
When the group of people arrived at the execution ground, it was almost noon. The execution ground was crowded with people inside and outside, and everyone was peering towards the high platform where the prisoners would be executed.
According to past practice, the execution ground should be located outside the city. There is a cemetery specifically used to bury prisoners outside the city. The execution ground is not far from the cemetery, so that after the execution, the soldiers can bury the prisoners' bones on the spot. Saved a lot of trouble.
But this time, due to the meticulous assassination and poisoning, Jiaping Pass implemented the policy of closing the city. Except for the congratulatory missions from various countries, specific groups of people in the city, various border customs, and special envoys coming and going from Xijing, other people No one is allowed to enter or leave at will, otherwise they will be arrested as enemy spies. Therefore, once the execution ground is set up outside the city, the remnants hidden in the city will follow the people watching the excitement out of the city. In this way, the so-called city closure order becomes a decoration.
So, after setting the execution date, the Shen Jiajun soldiers in charge of logistics used a high platform four feet long, two feet wide and two feet high at the gate of the city as the execution ground. When the execution ground was being built, the people in the city often came to see it. It was lively, and they also gave hot tea and snacks to the soldiers. Some experienced craftsmen also gave them guidance, telling them how to build ladders that would not collapse easily, how to build stronger shelves, and what materials to use. Easier to move around and so on. With these experiences, the execution ground is surprisingly grand and easy to move. When not needed, it can be dismantled and put aside, and then rebuilt when needed. It is extremely simple and convenient.
"This platform is well built. I heard that the craftsmen in the city helped a lot." Shen Haolin looked at the high platform and expressed great satisfaction. "Cha'er, go back and ask who and which masters helped. As a favor, I’ll send someone to visit and send some things over.”
"The marshal, deputy marshal, and general are here! Everyone, make way!"
Someone in the crowd accidentally saw Shen Haolin and his group and shouted loudly. Everyone focused on these people and automatically made way for them.
"It's the marshal! I heard that the marshal was ill a few days ago, and looking like this now, he looks pretty good!"
"General Shen seemed fine. I was also in the gold shop when she was assassinated. Those bastards who assassinated her really had no humanity at all!"
"What do you mean? I heard that they used a child as a shield. The general was plotted by them just to save the child. Is that true?"
"Isn't that right? I saw it clearly. General Shen's kung fu is so good. Several people surrounded her and were hit by her. It is impossible to defeat her easily. Therefore, those bastards can only use These are some dirty tricks. Even after General Shen was stabbed, he didn’t fall down and even killed many people! Hey, I will never forget General Shen’s demeanor in this life!"
"Compared with Marshal and General Shen, I prefer Lord Xue and the military advisor. You look at them as if they were noble gentlemen who stepped out of a painting. They have the demeanor of ancient celebrities. I don't know how young gentlemen like them will be in the future. Which kind of wife you marry will be worthy of them. In fact, I would be very happy to see the Marquis marry Miss Hongye back. The two of them are a good match."
"Stop dreaming. Your Majesty or the Queen Mother in the palace will probably decide on the marriage of the Marquis. He should be married to a noble girl from a high family in Xijing. No matter how good Miss Hongye is, she will never marry the Marquis. Miss Hongye has a free and unrestrained nature. You probably won’t live an ordinary life like us.”
"Who says it's not the case? Maybe Liao and Jin will no longer invade the border and won't have to fight, and she might go travel around the world. But what happened to the three children? How can children be allowed to come to such an occasion? "
"What's wrong with the kid? The kids at our border are all determined to be generals and kill the Liao and Jin people. They should get used to such occasions early so that they won't shrink from battle when they go to the battlefield. "
As Shen Haolin and others walked along, they heard the common people talking. Originally they thought they were talking about the details of the executions, but they didn't expect that the discussions were all about their private matters. They couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, especially Xue Ruitian. When he heard someone say that he wanted to marry a noble girl from Xijing, his expression froze instantly, as if he had swallowed a bitter medicine soup brewed by Jin Miaomiao.
"These people are really chatty!" Xue Ruitian couldn't help but roll his eyes, "My wife will not be married to those coquettish ladies from Xijing who are spoiled by their elders. Besides, They have made it clear that they will never marry us. Who makes it so miserable for us here? Those delicate ladies who come here are totally suffering. They will cry and run back to Xijing to ask for divorce after not staying for a few days. "Xue Ruitian shook the fan in his hand, "I have already predicted the result, so there is no need to mess around. I am still very satisfied with the current situation."
"What Xiaotian said makes sense." Shen Haolin nodded, looked at Shen Cha beside him, and smiled, "If people like us want to get married, it's better to find someone with the same goals. Cha'er, what do you think? Woolen cloth? "
"Ah?" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin blankly, not knowing what he was talking about. Just now, Mei Lin secretly handed her a note. As she was looking at it, she suddenly heard Shen Haolin calling her, and she didn't react for a moment. "Brother, what were you talking about just now?"
"Nothing." Shen Haolin shook his head and came close to Shen Cha, "Whose news?"
"Master's." Shen Cha stuffed the note to Shen Haolin, "Master said that he still has two days' journey before he can reach us. Send us a message first so that we can be prepared. I was in a hurry when I got it." Shen Cha looked at Xue Ruitian and said, "Brother Xiaotian, my master will be here soon. How did you and Hongye complete the mission? Did you praise Uncle Yan so much that you couldn't find anything? Did you use any tricks? What can you say?"
"You're still talking nonsense. Uncle Yan is annoying us both to death. We pester him every day." Hongye swished over and said, "General, let me tell you, Uncle Yan is very good. Me and Mr. Hou pestered him for several days and said many nice words to him. He was a good old man. He acted as if he hadn't heard anything and had no reaction at all. Yesterday we went to see him as usual and he told us that he was too busy at the end of the year and didn't have any reaction at all. Time to play with us, if we bother him again, he will go to the marshal and you to file a lawsuit against us, and ask you to throw us into the training camp and not be allowed to come out until the Chinese New Year."
"It seems that the military advisor's plan will not work." Shen Haolin touched his chin, "Let's do this. If nothing happens this afternoon, you two, plus the military advisor and Jin Miaomiao, will take turns annoying him and asking him to come to us to complain. . As long as he comes, I will find a way to persuade him and let him tell what happened back then."
"How can someone as stubborn as him listen to you?" , and let us juniors worry about it!"
"Two careless old men!" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha said in unison. After speaking, the two looked at each other, "It's useless to complain. We have to help them solve the complaint. Who makes them our family?" Woolen cloth! "
A few people chatted and walked under the high platform. This time, in addition to some newcomers from the training camp, the people responsible for maintaining public security were sent from all major camps, led by Song Qiyun and Shen Jiu themselves.
"Marshal, Marquis, General, and Military Advisor!" Song Qiyun and Shen Jiu, dressed in full armor, came over to salute the group when they saw them. "Everything is ready. The supervisor this time is Lord Ying Wu." Song Qiyun raised his head and looked at the sky, "It's almost time."
"Let Shadow Five begin!"
Song Qiyun nodded and sent a personal guard to deliver the message. He stood with Shen Jiu, Shen Haolin and the others.
After receiving the order, Shadow Five took the carefully selected newcomers from the training camp to the high platform. The newcomers in charge of the execution this time were all wearing black attire, and each of them carried a shiny, extremely sharp sword.
When the newcomers who were in charge of the punishment stood still, the soldiers brought up Liao and Jin Xizuo, headed by Xiao Liu. They were tied up with five flowers and their mouths were gagged. After they came up, they were pushed to the ground by the soldiers.
Among these people, there are those like Xiao Liu who accept their fate, and there are also those who are lively and ready to make trouble at the last moment, just in case they can run away, it can be regarded as a small life. But when they saw the high platform, these people immediately stopped thinking. Who would have thought that Shen Jiajun's people were so wicked that they would set up a execution ground and set up such a high platform. It would be weird if they didn't fall to death if they jumped. They had better be more honest!
Ying Wu looked towards the audience and saw Shen Cha slightly nodding towards him and said, "The time is up for the execution!"
The dozen or so newcomers from the training camp, after hearing Fifth Master's order, looked at each other, secretly encouraged themselves and each other, and whispered words of encouragement. While talking, he also followed the method taught by his predecessors, picked up the big bowl next to him, and sprinkled the wine in the bowl on the big knife.
"Brothers, success or failure depends on this. The marshal, deputy marshal, and our general are all watching below. We cannot retreat. If we give in in front of so many people in the city, we will not only give Marshal and the others are in disgrace. We will also be punished when we return, and we may be directly taken away from the training camp." Dai Yi, who was standing in the middle of the row, looked at Shen Cha under the stage, saw the encouragement in her eyes, and was deeply moved. Taking a breath, "Brothers, are you ready?"
"Ready!"
"No problem, Brother Dai!"
"Listen to me counting two numbers. When the count reaches one, raise the knife and when the count reaches two, look down. Is that okay?"
"Just do as you say!"
"Okay!" Dai Yi took the lead and stood behind the prisoners in the first row, "One!"
Everyone raised their knives. When they heard Dai Yi say "two", everyone's hearts trembled, their eyes closed, and the knives in their hands slashed downwards. In an instant, they felt warm. The liquid splashed on their faces, and when they opened their eyes, they saw red liquid all over the ground.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you take this first step, there is nothing to worry about next. Although the newcomers are still a little nervous and their hands are still a little trembling, their courage has become stronger and they have become a lot stronger.
"Brothers, good job, let's continue!" Dai Yi nodded towards the brothers who said twice, and walked to the second row with firm steps.
Watching the rows and rows of fine craftsmanship in their hands, they felt an indescribable wonderful feeling in their hearts. Although they had not really gone to the battlefield yet, they had already known what it felt like to kill the enemy. After feeling it, after having an experience like today, they will not be timid when they actually go to the battlefield in the future.
There were many people executed, and the execution lasted for a whole stick of incense, and the entire tabletop of the high platform was dyed red.
After all the meticulous work was completed, Shen Cha and Song Qiyun accompanied Shen Haolin to the high platform amid the cheers of the people.
"Everyone!" Shen Haolin raised his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet, "Today's public execution is to remind some people with ulterior motives that anyone who harms the interests of Great Xia, harms the safety of the people of Great Xia, or spies on I will never take mercy on those who are responsible for the border defense in Daxia!" Shen Haolin pointed to the rows of corpses behind him, "This is a lesson for you!"
After saying that, Shen Haolin performed the Shen Family Army military salute to the people in the audience, and left the stage with Shen Cha and Song Qiyun.
