But they could be done in batches.
There were 20 executioners standing on the stage. They were dressed in red torture clothes with their chests exposed. They held torture knives in their hands. The knives were thick and had been ground.
Xiao ran and Shen Yiming didn’t go in. They stood at the side and watched the scene calmly.
Their mission was to bring the person over and then protect the execution ground. If someone rescued them, they would take down all the intruders.
The person in charge of supervising the execution was the left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He was a middle-aged man that he didn’t recognize.
There was still 15 minutes to noon.
“Someone will come to rescue them?” Shen Yiming asked.
“He’s dead!” Xiao ran did not answer.
Shen Yiming understood this. It wasn’t easy to get the third Prince to this point. If someone were to kidnap the execution ground, even if they didn’t do anything, the eldest Prince would think of ways to kill the person.
As time passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
The supervising official looked up at the sky, grabbed a handful of “killing token arrows”, and threw them on the ground. He shouted coldly,”kill!”
The executioner took a sip of wine and spat the remaining half on the knife.
He raised the saber high and faced the sunlight. Under the sunlight, it glowed with a cold light. He held the saber with both hands and slashed down quickly, ruthlessly, and accurately.
Chi!
Twenty heads fell to the ground, including the third Prince ‘s. All of them were killed.
The soldiers brought another batch of criminals forward, made them kneel on the ground, and cut them again.
After a while.
All the criminals were executed.
The supervising official ordered their bodies to be destroyed and piled together. He poured oil on them and set them on fire.
As a result …
It completely cut off their ability to use powerful secret techniques or heaven-defying divine items to revive.
He was extremely careful.
After their bodies were burned to ashes, Xiao ran ordered the divine sword guards to go back first. Bai Zhanyu came up to them.
“Brother Xiao, you’ve been promoted?”
“Tonight, Xiao ran is treating. We won’t go home until we’re drunk in the drunken immortal court.” Shen Yiming said with a smile.
“Why are you still waiting for tonight? I’m free now. Why don’t we go over?”
Shen Yiming looked at Xiao ran.”Is there anything else?”
“No!” Xiao ran said.
“Alright!” Shen Yiming replied.
“Should I call little Zhou and the others?”
“Forget about little Zhou, he’s still cultivating hard in purgatory. Shi Ming can’t do it either. Call the Taoist priest and Gu qiuhe over.” Xiao ran said after a moment of silence.
The three of them walked together towards the drunken immortal court.
Xuanwu workshop, No. 18.
In the study room.
The second Prince went completely mad. Like a madman, he held the wind Dragon Star sword and vented his anger. He slashed randomly.
The tables and chairs were all broken, and the expensive paintings and vases were all smashed by him.
As far as the eye could see, the ground was in a mess.
“Ah!”
With a ferocious look on his face, he bellowed and slashed the only remaining chair in half before stopping.
He turned around.
His anger was burning, and his eyes were red. With a strong unwillingness, he said,”I refuse to accept this! Why should father let big brother supervise the country? Compared to him, how am I lacking? Just because he was born a little earlier, you want him to supervise the country?”
“Is the fire extinguished?” Uncle fire asked.
“No, I didn ‘t!”
“We haven’t lost yet!”
“I know!” The second Prince was vicious.
“Imperial Father’s plan is very good. Let him supervise the country and roast him. If he can resist our counterattack, the position of Crown Prince will really fall into his hands. If that’s the case, why did father send eunuch Zhu and eunuch Liang over?”
“This is only the power on the surface.” Uncle fire said.
“Eunuch Zhu controls the shadow Department and monitors the world. They are powerful and mysterious. Other than them, no one knows how many people there are in the shadow Department and how many experts are hidden. As for the help he gives him on the surface, I’m afraid that those fence-sitters in the court will take the initiative to stick to him. ”
“As long as he can seize this opportunity, his power will grow to an unprecedented level. With our strength, we don’t stand a chance against him. ” The second Prince said.
“Thump thump!”
There was a knock on the door, and a clear and sweet voice came from outside.”I would like to see you!”
“I’ll leave for a moment. ” Uncle fire said.
“No need,” The second Prince waved his hand.
“With the Gu family’s intelligence network, it’s impossible that she doesn’t know of your existence. Moreover, she’s now my woman. We’re all in the same boat. This is not the time to be on guard, but to cooperate with her sincerely. We’ll abandon all prejudices and gather the resources in our hands to deal with the more complicated situation in the future.”
“You’re a promising child. ” Uncle fire nodded in satisfaction.
“Come in.” The second Prince said.
Gu Ying walked in from outside and his eyes swept around the room, taking in the entire view of the study. When he saw that uncle fire was there as well, the smile on his face grew even wider. He did not close the door but instead gave an order to the people outside,”clean up the study!”
The maidservant came in and cleaned up the trash on the floor and the broken tables and chairs. She replaced them with a new set of tables and chairs and finally closed the door.
“Your Highness!” Gu Ying gave a slight bow.
“Yes.” The second Prince nodded.
“Greetings, uncle fire!”
“Not bad.” Uncle fire smiled warmly.
“I’ve long heard of uncle Huo’s great name. Seeing you today, you’re indeed extraordinary. With uncle Huo’s help, His Highness will be like a tiger that has grown wings. ” Gu Ying complimented.
He took the teapot and made a pot of snow ginseng tea. He poured them a cup and the three of them sat on the chair.
After taking a sip of tea, Gu Ying asked,”is Your Highness troubled by the matter of the first Prince governing the country?”
But they could be done in batches.
There were 20 executioners standing on the stage. They were dressed in red torture clothes with their chests exposed. They held torture knives in their hands. The knives were thick and had been ground.
