Chapter 65: Zhao Gao Asks To Behead, Gai Nie Tests The Sword
"Why are you laughing? How dare you laugh at Mr. Hu Hai? Aren't you afraid of being punished by him?"
Zhao Gao felt something bad in his heart, but he still looked fierce and angry, and shouted angrily at the jailer in front of him.
After hearing Zhao Gao's words, the laughter of the jailers finally subsided, but it could still be seen that they did not show any fear.
"Zhao Gao, don't have any more wishful thinking. Hu Hai has a violent temper and bad conduct. He has been demoted to a commoner by Your Majesty and exiled to Lingnan."
Seeing that Zhao Gao was still confused, the county lieutenant who stayed in the county immediately shouted to Zhao Gao.
"W-what???"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao turned pale in horror and staggered back, his face full of shock and disbelief.
"This is impossible! How is this possible???"
Zhao Gao shook his head repeatedly and lost his voice in shock. He couldn't believe the news.
"Your Majesty loves Mr. Hu Hai the most, what nonsense are you talking about!!!"
Zhao found it difficult to accept the news.
This means that his only chance of survival was completely ruined with this news.
But why did His Majesty suddenly punish Master Hu Hai so harshly?
After all, he was the son he loved before, so he could understand why he was deprived of rewards and banned from home for several years.
But why was he suddenly demoted to a commoner? And he was even exiled to Lingnan.
Lingnan is mostly a mist, with poor mountains and rivers, and long distances. Hu Hai was demoted there, which could almost be a death sentence for him in this life.
Hu Hai has completely lost the chance to return to the Central Plains!!!
"Why did everything change suddenly?"
Zhao Gao was wailing in his heart, why the change happened so fast, even catching him off guard.
At this time, Zhao Gao remembered that when Ying Zheng sent him to inspect the surrounding counties, he also asked him to quickly recruit Hu Hai to come to Pei County.
I'm afraid that by that time, the fate of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao will already be doomed.
Zhao Gao looked crazy and kept shouting, cursing and cursing.
The county lieutenant of Liuxian County and the jailers ignored him. They waited until he was tired and then brought him his decapitation meal.
"Eat, don't starve to death on the way."
Stay on the county road.
Hearing this, Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, with tears streaming down his eyes. He didn't care about the sloppiness of his hands. He grabbed the food and started stuffing it into his mouth. He ate numbly and swallowed it down.
Not long after, time was almost up, and someone immediately escorted Zhao Gao out.
This time it was not only Zhao Gao who was being questioned, but also seven or eight death row prisoners, all of whom had their hands tied behind their backs. Not long after, they were escorted to the execution ground at Caishikou.
At this time, the area around the execution ground was already crowded with people, bustling and noisy.
Many death row prisoners, including Zhao Gao, were forced to kneel down.
Then behind each death row prisoner, a strong executioner holding a large knife approached.
Then the death cards behind many condemned prisoners were pulled out and thrown to the ground.
"cut!"
Following the shouts of the Liuxian County Magistrate, the executioners suddenly raised their swords.
"Save someone under the knife!"
At this time, another roar sounded among the noisy people.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The moment this sound sounded, dozens of arrow feathers flew out.
At this time, Zhao Gao, who had closed his eyes and waited for death, suddenly opened his eyes, thinking that something was coming and someone had saved him.
But he didn't expect that after that angry shout, there would be arrow feathers flying towards him.
At this time, several executioners standing on the high platform had already raised their hands when shouting for execution, and then fell with their swords.
But then they were startled by this shout, and some people immediately stopped swinging their swords, but some people didn't have time to stop, but the swords deflected.
There are also executioners who have chopped off the prisoners’ heads with their swords.
Almost as dozens of arrows flew out, the heads of two or three prisoners were cut off, and blood rose into the sky.
At this time, Zhao Gao only felt severe pain suddenly coming from his left elbow, which made him scream in agony.
But at this time, through the messy hair, he could still clearly see who was coming to kidnap the prisoner, and his eyes were full of doubts and confusion.
It turned out to be Tian Heng who was rounded up by him that day!
"ah!"
"Someone is kidnapping a prisoner!!"
At this time, the dozens of flying arrows had obviously performed meritorious service. Some of them were pierced on the executioner, some on the Qin soldiers, and some on the head of the policeman.
Suddenly, screams and exclamations continued, and the scene began to become extremely chaotic.
Na Tian Heng led dozens of people to rush out from among the people. A burst of arrows and a sudden surprise attack immediately beat the soldiers guarding the surrounding areas back again and again, and they immediately collapsed.
In the blink of an eye, Tian Heng had already rushed to the execution ground.
"Qidi!"
Tian Heng shouted loudly.
Along with Tian Heng's shouts, a death row prisoner excitedly staggered forward and faced the Chinese medicine doctor.
Hearing Tian Heng's loud shouting, Zhao Gao suddenly came to his senses.
When Hita Heng and others escaped, the innkeeper went out and did not return. When he came back and found something was wrong, he had been caught by Yu Gao.
Not only him, but all the servants and chefs in the inn were also imprisoned.
There is a secret passage in this inn, and the rebels like Tian Heng and others knew that the innkeeper must be involved. Under severe torture, nothing could be found out after being forced to question him, but Zhao Gao was still directly thrown into death row as a rebel.
Unexpectedly, the person who was sentenced to death by Zhao Gao happened to be with him today, and now he saw that he was indeed with Tian Heng.
Tian Heng rushed in front of his cousin Tian Qi, cut the ropes on his body, and immediately carried him, who was weak from torture, and left quickly.
At this time, the scene was already in great panic, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard all around, and the prisoners on death row who had not yet been chopped rushed out one after another.
"Run, run to survive!"
Zhao Gao roared in his heart. At this time, he found that the ropes tied to his body had become loose. He didn't have time to pay attention to the severe pain in his left hand, and began to rush towards the people outside crazily.
Rushing into the chaotic crowd, Zhao Gao saw a man holding a horse to avoid the impact of the crowd. He stepped forward and kicked him in the abdomen, causing the man holding the horse to fall to the ground in pain.
Then he grabbed the horse with his right hand, turned over and rode on it. He galloped wildly without hesitation, shocking the people around him to curse and dodge.
By the time he rushed out of Liu County, Zhao Gao's face was already pale.
He had just discovered that his left elbow had been cut off completely.
Apparently the executioner was startled by Tian Heng's cry just now, so the sword shifted its position and struck his left hand. Because of this, the ropes tied to his body were also cut off, giving him the opportunity to seize the horse and escape. .
The bleeding from his elbow continued, so he could only tear off his clothes and bandage his hands and teeth.
Not daring to stop, the horse kept running wildly for who knows how long. Finally, in a deep mountain forest, he was exhausted. He slipped off the back of the horse, which was soaked in sweat and almost died, and fainted.
.........Please give me flowers 00
Prisoners were robbed at the execution ground, several soldiers and executioners died, dozens of people were injured, and two of the six living death row prisoners finally escaped.
Although most of these prisoner-robbing rebels were killed or injured, they still aroused the alarm and anger of the officials in Liuxian County, who searched for the rebels everywhere.
And just when Liu County was in chaos!
At this time, on the edge of the barren mountain within a mile of Yinxian Peak, there was a group of no less than a hundred people, armed with long knives and short spears, the dusty bandits were discussing matters.
"I've heard that there is an immortal in Yinxian Peak in Peixian County, who used thunder to kill several gangsters. Let's not mess with him, right?"
"It's true that the rumor is quite evil. Why don't you go around him?"
"For such a famous alchemist, he has a lot of money, and there are not many people guarding Yinxian Peak, so it's not a bad idea to be a supporter!"
"Yes, those fat and oily rural gentry families either live in the county or have high-walled compounds with many guards and servants. If they want to break through, many people will be killed or injured.
"Yingbu, you are the leader of us all, what do you think?"
0...
At this time, everyone couldn't help but look at the burly and muscular man who was taking the lead.
This person is exactly what they call Yingbu. He is wearing black clothes and although his face is tattooed, he does not lose his boldness.
In the original historical time and space, Yingbu was also one of the three famous generals in the early Han Dynasty. He first followed Xiang Yu and then Liu Bang, and was named the king with different surnames.
After Han Xin was killed, Yingbu was also afraid that he would follow Han Xin's footsteps, so he gathered troops to be on guard and was reported, so he had no choice but to rebel against the Han, but he was defeated and killed.
But at this time, he was just a slave from Lishan, leading some criminals who had also committed crimes to flee everywhere, in front of bandits.
"These legends about alchemists are just lies. If they really became immortals, why would they still stay in the mountains of Peixian County?"
Yingbu wiped the long knife in his hand with a cloth.
"If I can seize the treasure, it will be much easier for me to return to Jiujiang County."
Yingbu, who had already sent someone to inquire about the situation at Yinxian Peak, made a decision immediately.
In his opinion, all gods and thunder methods are just tricks to fool people.
In fact, unless they see it with their own eyes, people with a firm mind are unlikely to believe these things that go against their common sense.
Deciding to attack the fat sheep of Yinxian Peak, in the evening, more than a hundred bandits began to move towards Yinxian Peak, and soon they arrived at the foot of Yinxian Peak.
"Senior brother, the person who came here is not a good person!"
Seeing more than a hundred young men, armed with long knives and short spears, approaching in a menacing manner, Han Xin immediately frowned.
Such a big movement also alerted the four swordsmen who lived not far away from the mountain and were taking a rest. They all came to Gai Nie's side with swords in hand.
"What do you want?"
When Gai Nie saw so many people, he walked out calmly and said in a nonchalant manner.
"If you are wise, please get out of the way, otherwise don't blame us for being blind!"
One of the thieves shouted.
"It's going to be a long night and a lot of dreams. Take them down, rush up, and finish and leave as soon as possible.
Yingbu ordered.
This place is not too far from Peixian County. If someone reports the news and soldiers from the county town are sent to encircle and suppress them, they will be caught in a trap.
"Gai has been practicing for more than a month, and his Internal Energy is getting stronger, so it's time to test Sword Three with you!"
Hearing this, Gai Nie was not surprised but overjoyed, his eyes were blazing, and with a clang, he instantly pulled out the cold long sword Ling from the scabbard. .
