The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 224 Ling Chi
The weather in June is already very hot, and the weather is basically sunny, but today is a rare cloudy day.

The air seemed to be stagnant, without a trace of wind, making it even hotter.

This kind of weather should make people more tired and lazy, but the people in the imperial capital are a little emotional.

Because today was the day when the two Beiqi secret agents were executed in public. In the past few years, Beiqi's momentum has become more and more arrogant.

So before the time came, the streets were already crowded with people who wanted to see Bei Qi Xizuo being tortured.

"Northern Qi thieves have bullied me for many years, and His Majesty has been on the throne for less than a year. It is really gratifying to eliminate a few small works!"

"These wolf-hearted things have oppressed our border people for many years, and how many border towns they have embezzled, they should be cut to death!"

The streets were full of voices cursing Beiqi people, but fortunately, there were guards from the imperial guards on the only way to the execution ground to keep them safe.

At this time, in a wing room on the top floor of Tingfeng Tea House, a tall and tall young man was standing quietly in front of the window with his hands behind his back, watching the crowds of people rushing downstairs.

The beauty in the room is next to a woman lying lazily, beating the sandalwood fan in her hand, and yawning from time to time, as if she was extremely tired, her beautiful eyes full of water mist slightly twitched from time to time. Looking resentfully at the young man by the window.

I don't know whether the young man did it intentionally or unintentionally, and he didn't look back once.

These two people are Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao.

This Tingfeng teahouse is the tallest building near the execution ground. The wing room they are in now has the best view. Looking from the window, you can have a panoramic view of most of the imperial capital.

After another yawn, Ning Yuezhao finally couldn't help being sleepy and closed her eyes.

"Too sleepy, call me later when something happens."

If it wasn't for his reckless tossing and tossing last night, how could she be so tired today!
When a certain person was in the palace just now, he kindly reminded: "Ling Chi's punishment is bloody and terrifying, so you don't need to watch it. Since you are so tired, why don't you rest in the palace."

Ning Yuezhao immediately said angrily: "It's a joke, my majestic son, how could he be afraid of such blood!"

Jiang Nian tactfully stopped talking, he couldn't admit that he deliberately tormented her last night, just to make her powerless to watch the execution.

At this moment, Jiang Nian finally turned around, walked to her side, picked up the sandalwood fan in her hand, and fanned it for her.

The breeze with a little sandalwood slightly relieved the heat, and Ning Yuezhao also felt less annoyed.

The handsome man with clear eyebrows and the beautiful woman with fair skin and snow skin, looking at this pleasing picture, make people forget the noise downstairs.

A gentle knock on the door broke the tranquility, Jiang Nian didn't stop fanning, and just said softly, "Come in."

Zuo Ming pushed the door open and entered, Ning Yuezhao still had his eyes closed, as if he was fast asleep.

He hesitated a little and lowered his voice, "Your Highness, the prisoner has already come to the execution ground."

In order to follow the theory of the relationship between heaven and man, the death penalty has always been carried out in autumn and winter. Only such crimes of treason and injustice will be decided without waiting.In order to serve as a warning, the dead criminals must parade in the streets of the imperial capital.

Jiang Nian's hand paused for a while, and suddenly thought of the Jiang family in his previous life. When he dreamed back to the past, he also saw his family members being beheaded.At that time, the people's scolding was as loud as it is today...

"Your Highness?"

After not hearing Jiang Nian's response for a long time, Zuo Ming couldn't help but speak out.

"Have all the hands been arranged?" Jiang Nian quickly adjusted his mood, and the hand that played the fan returned to its proper rhythm.

Zuo Ming felt that the madness of the imperial husband just now seemed to be just his hallucination, "Everything is arranged properly, just waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap."

With a sound of "shua", Jiang Nian closed the sandalwood fan, got up and walked to the window, Zuo Ming followed closely behind him.

There seemed to be more people downstairs than before. Jiang Nian picked up the binoculars on the tall table next to the bed and looked around the execution ground.

Their hands were already ambushing around the execution ground, but according to Jiang Nian's deduction that they might rob the execution ground, there was no movement at the moment.

Jiang Nian put down the binoculars and said slowly, "It's also possible that they have become abandoned children."

To be honest, he was not very hopeful that those people would be exposed because of a prime minister's daughter.

Zuo Ming said with some concern: "Today, General Xiao led 5 troops to set off before dawn. According to the report this morning, the Northwest Army's troops going northward are actually not more than [-], at least [-]."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted, "The prisoner is here!"

At the end of the street, two prison cars were approaching from a distance.

The crowd erupted immediately, and the common people took out rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves that had been prepared a long time ago, and threw them at the people in the prison car.

"Beiqi dog, you deserve to die!"

"Smash you Beiqi dog thieves to death, avenge our compatriots who died in vain!"

Jiang Nianfu picked up the binoculars again and looked over there.

With the help of the binoculars, one can clearly see that Yiyi and Minghan are in a state of disarray, their heads and faces covered with filth, which shows the extreme anger of the people.

Both of them had blue eyes, and the common people had no doubts about their identity as Beiqi people. They kept cursing and threw things at them. Even the guards escorting the prisoners were not immune to accidental attacks.

Soon, the prison van stopped in front of the execution platform.The guards pulled them out of the prison cart, took them to the execution platform, and tied them to wooden stakes.

Two wooden stakes side by side, two people are tied firmly.

Two bamboo baskets were placed on the execution platform, which were used to hold the chopped flesh.

The common people did not let them go because they were tied to the execution platform, because they were stopped by guards, they could no longer throw things, and could only yell more violently.

The person in charge of supervising the execution today is none other than Fang Weitang, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army.

The executioner was sharpening his knife, when the expressionless guard stepped forward to verify his identity, and after confirming that the person had not been dropped, he unceremoniously stripped off their clothes.

Ming Han's face was dirty, but his eyes were still clear, and there seemed to be a vague smile on his mouth.If it weren't for this mess, his appearance would make people think that he was going to a feast, not to die.

Yiyi was different, she had been holding back all the time before, when all the clothes covering her body were removed, and some malicious eyes in the crowd looked her up and down, she couldn't help it anymore, and burst into tears.

"Please, spare my life, I don't want to die!"

Her voice was shrill, and she cried heart-piercingly.

"It's not me who killed, I'm also innocent!"

Even Jiang Nian on the top floor of Tingfeng Tea House heard it.

Zuo Ming spat with contempt: "Now I know I'm begging for mercy. When they Beiqi people slaughtered my Daxing people, did they ever think about their innocence!"

Jiang Nian turned a deaf ear to Yiyi's cries and just watched the situation around him.

Seeing that the executioner was almost ready, Fang Weitang reached out to pick up a red-headed stick and threw it on the ground.

"The hour is up, execution!"

The sharp knife in the executioner's hand reflected the cold light, Ming Han's eyes dimmed, but he was still calm, with the appearance of going to death calmly.

On the other hand, Yiyi's eyes were full of horror, seeing that begging for mercy was fruitless, she swears instead——

"You incompetent Han people only know how to vent your anger on me, a weak woman who has no power to restrain a chicken. Even if you kill me, it will not change the weakness in your bones. In the future, on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang, you weak people Why don't you just let me eat Beiqi fish!"

"Bah, you're still stubborn when you're about to die!" The executioner spat on her face and sneered, "I really think I'm afraid of you bastards!"

Yiyi wanted to curse again, but the sharp knife pierced into the flesh, gouging out a piece of white flesh, and the great pain stopped her screaming.

The so-called punishment of Ling Chi is to cut into pieces by thousands of knives, so that people can watch their own flesh and blood being cut off piece by piece. They must cut enough knives and suffer all the pain before they can die.

So every quarter of an hour, someone would pour water on Ming Han and Yiyi's face to prevent them from passing out.

"You... these trash... Hahaha... I will die today... Tomorrow there will be... more Han people... I will be buried with you..."

After being splashed awake again, Yiyi laughed back in pain, and cursed again.

The bamboo basket in front of her was already half full of flesh and blood, she held her head high, not looking at her blood-drenched body, nor at the flesh and blood that had been gouged out from her body.

At this moment, the sky in the imperial capital is gray, not at all like the blue sky in my hometown.

She now believed that her father would not send someone to rescue her, and she blamed herself for leaving home willfully.Father has always put the overall situation first, so why would he expose the King's people in the Central Plains for her?
The pain in his body seemed endless, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

The last image in her mind was the gentle smile of that handsome man.

"Brother Chen..."

There was a murmur, like a whisper, barely audible amidst the endless scolding.

For that gentle smile, she left her hometown and went to the enemy's territory, just to avenge him.But now the enemy is still alive, but she herself is going to die in a foreign land without a whole body.

In the sharp pain, Yiyi raised his head even higher, but tears fell from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.

There are thousands of medicines in the world, but there is no regret medicine.

Jiang Nian quietly looked in the direction of the execution ground. Except for one head, the two men were still intact. Their bodies were already bloody and some internal organs were exposed.

He looked back at the person on the couch, Ning Yuezhao still had his eyes closed, as if he was in a deep sleep.

Jiang Qingnian sighed, "Order to go on, until it gets dark."

"Yes!"

Zuo Ming had seen many scenes of torture in the Forbidden Army, and the scene in front of him was not considered cruel at the top level.

But in the current situation, even if someone came to save them, the two of them would not be able to survive.Continuing to continue these cruel images has no meaning except to make the people more agitated and resentful.

After Zuo Ming left, Jiang Nian closed the window to cut off all the noise.

Just as he was about to turn around, a pair of gentle hands wrapped around his waist from behind, pressing his face against his vest.

"You also said that I am soft-hearted, don't you also can't stand it anymore?"
