the next day.

Liu Yuzhi, wearing prison clothes and disheveled hair, was taken to the execution ground.

Gao Yi rode a tall horse and led a group of county soldiers. As he walked, he said loudly: "This man is an official of the imperial court, but he has no laws! Now, the county governor has ordered that he be beheaded in public!"

At this time, countless people from Liucheng were surrounded on both sides of the street. As an official, Liu Yuzhi dedicated himself to serving the people. He even ignored his own life and opened a granary privately to save the people. It can be imagined that when people heard the news that he was going to be beheaded, they were furious.

Gather in the streets.

"Master Liu is a good official! Let Master Liu go -"

"Let Mr. Liu go..."

There were sounds of pleading everywhere, and many people could not help but kneel down and intercept the escorting team. Some people among them began to cry:

"Since Mr. Liu has governed Liucheng, he has been fair and honest, always thinking about us and the people. Why do you want to behead him today..."

When Gao Yi saw this, he became angry and said: "You unscrupulous people! Are you going to rebel? Here comes someone! Break them up with sticks!"

Following his order, more than a dozen county troops immediately stepped forward and began to use force to drive away the people blocking the road.

The common people had no power to restrain the chickens. Facing the soldiers, a path was quickly cleared. Later, Liu Yuzhi was also led to the guillotine.

His hands were tied behind his back. Beside him was the axeman holding a broadsword, and Gaoyi was in the supervising position directly above him, with several cases in front of him.

After looking up at the sunshine, he also pretended to shout and asked: "Liu Yuzhi! You are about to die, do you know your guilt!?"

"Hahahaha——" Liu Yuzhi looked up and laughed after hearing this. After the laughter, he first looked around at the countless people gathered below, and then said seriously:

"Famine has spread all over the land. The people in the city have run out of food. The people are pulling grass for food. How many people have starved to death on the road these days! There are cries everywhere. As the parents of a place, the only thing this county can do is to privately

I open an official position so that the people of Liucheng will not lose my reputation! Even though I, Liu Yuzhi, die, I am worthy of heaven and earth!"

"Master Liu——" As soon as these words were spoken, the people in the audience burst into tears, and countless people knelt down at that moment.

In a hidden place, Peng Shuang couldn't help but said: "Oh my God, such a good official ended up like this, what kind of world is this!"

"Save people!" Xiao Yuan said coldly, then took out a black scarf from his arms and covered his face.

Seeing this situation in Gao Yi's eyes, he was afraid that something would change, so he didn't care about waiting for noon, so he immediately shouted: "The time has come, kill!"

Following his order, the axeman first took a sip of strong liquor and sprayed it on the sword, then swung the sword as if to chop it down.

Liu Yuzhi closed his eyes calmly.

At this critical moment, a sharp arrow shot out coldly, hitting the swordsman in the chest. The powerful force made him stagger back a few steps. The sword he raised high also

It fell to the ground with a clang.

Such a change made Gaoyi above him suddenly widen his eyes, and then began to look left and right, shouting in a panic: "There are thieves robbing the execution ground, hurry up! Kill Liu Yuzhi quickly -"

As soon as he finished speaking, some shops on the left and right sides of the execution ground opened their doors and windows. In just a moment, hundreds of men in black rushed out from nowhere, all with black scarves covering their faces and holding sharp knives.

Under the sun, the blade of the knife shone with an icy cold light.

The scene suddenly became chaotic!

"Kill -" After a cold shout, Xiao Yuan was the first to rush towards the county army.

Those county soldiers usually drink and gamble, allowing them to bully and bully ordinary people. They can stand up to two, but when faced with veterans who have actually been on the battlefield and are elite infantry, the victory will be determined at the first contact.

There was no suspense at all. After just one round of killing, the county army was killed and injured. The remaining people, seeing how fierce the opponent was, how dared to resist, howled, threw away the weapons in their hands, and ran away.

At this time, Gaoyi above was still shouting in panic: "Protect me! Come quickly! Protect me——"

He was scared to death and looked miserable. The official hat on his head had long ago fallen to someone unknown. But at this time, the county army had long been dispersed, and no one would pay attention to him.

In a panic, he bent over and was about to dive under the cases, but at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came: "Where is the dog officer running away!"

Following the shout, Peng Shuangshuang grabbed Gao Yi with a knife in his hand.

Seeing the other party's face covered with a black scarf and a fierce look in his eyes, Gao Yi screamed in fright, then trembled and begged for mercy: "Hero, spare my life! Hero, spare my life -"

"Ah——" Before he could finish his words, Peng Shuang had already swung his knife and killed him neatly.

Blood sprayed out, and the scene became even more chaotic. At this time, Xiao Yuan also jumped in front of Liu Yuzhi, picked up the sword in his hand, and opened the rope, and then without saying a word, he picked him up and left.

At this time, Liu Yuzhi was still in a daze. He was just about to ask a question when Xiao Yuan, who was pulling him away quickly, looked around, waved his knife and shouted: "Get out!"

His order was decisive and straightforward. Upon hearing this, the men in black immediately sheathed their swords and retreated. They were well-trained and did not stop.

This familiar voice shocked Liu Yuzhi's heart, and he lowered his voice and said, "General Xiao, is it you?"

"Who else could it be?" Xiao Yuan replied to him.

"But this!" Liu Yuzhi was a little anxious, obviously worried that he would implicate Xiao Yuan.

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

Xiao Yuan interrupted him. A group of men in black came and retreated even faster. Although the scene was chaotic, the people watching spontaneously gave way. In just a moment, Xiao Yuan and the others had left here.

They evacuated hurriedly all the way, and soon they arrived at a dense forest.

After pulling off the black scarf, Xiao Yuan also asked one of the men in black: "Is there a tail?"

The man in black was Ye Cheng. After hearing this, he immediately returned: "No, those county soldiers were all frightened and no one dared to follow."

"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded: "Put on your armor, return to camp quickly, and burn all these things."

After everything was settled, Liu Yuzhi also began to say: "General Xiao, you shouldn't take this risk. What should you do if you get involved?"

"Huh? It doesn't matter, Yu Anmin won't know." Xiao Yuan waved his hand.

"But he will definitely suspect the general." Liu Yuzhi said anxiously.

"I understand." Xiao Yuan said, then patted Liu Yuzhi on the shoulder, smiled slightly and said: "It's just that during this period, the matter has not been handled well, and I have to feel sorry for Mr. Liu and cannot show up."

"Hey!" Liu Yuzhi sighed, showing some worry at the same time.
