Chapter 121 The Salted Fish Princess Will Not Be Cannon Fodder (32)
After speaking, Jiang Lai looked straight at Murongdun with a smile on his lips.
"I don't know who that person is, and Your Majesty won't explain clearly. I just hope that person can be more honest in the future and not let me find out! Oh, by the way... you asked me how Han Zhao and Luo Yang are doing, right?"< br>
"Hmm...hmm."
"Han Zhao will probably be sent to the border as a garrison and will not be allowed to return to the capital for ten years. His father will be demoted to the third rank. As for Luo Yang, it should be more serious than the worst. After all, she should have been executed at that time. I heard that there were many guards in the court. She asked her ministers to help her escape. Now His Majesty is investigating the matter thoroughly, and the whole court is in panic. ”
Execution...
Murong Dun suppressed his nervousness and worry, gave Jiang Lai a chopstick to eat, and ate with his head down to cover up his inner sadness.
In the end, is it still the same end?
Soon the emperor's order came down. Luo Yang, the daughter of a traitor, was to be beheaded at noon on the third day. Major General Jiang Ling was responsible for supervising the beheading.
Jiang came to look at the place where he was beheaded, which was at the vegetable market not far from him.
Murong Dun got up early that morning and sat outside the door in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Jiang Lai took the initiative to ask after getting up.
"There are beheadings at the market today. Do you want to take a look?"
Murong Dun shook his head subconsciously, then nodded again as if he was sleepwalking.
"Okay... let's go and have a look."
He still has a lot of hope in his heart. After all, Luo Yang was able to escape from this disaster last time, so it must be the same this time. No matter what, he has to go and see with his own eyes. Maybe the man on the beheading stage is not alive at all. It’s not Luo Yang.
After arriving at the market, the people there were already so crowded that Murong Dun couldn't see clearly from his wheelchair. Jiang Lai simply looked for the guard next to Jiang Ling, changed his perspective directly to the guest seat, and sat behind Jiang Ling. A close up look at a beheading.
This time, Luo Yang was not the only one who was beheaded, but also the entire family of an official who had helped her escape and hide.
Nowadays, the law is strict. If one person commits a crime, the whole family will be implicated. Looking at the old and young of the family on the execution ground, Jiang Lai asked Jiang Ling.
"All of these have to be cut off?"
"They all have to be killed."
For one Luo Yang to sacrifice the lives of a whole family, the heroine's growth path is truly a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The official was still angrily cursing the emperor for being unfair, scolding Heaven for being unreasonable, and cursing Jiang Xiong for not having a good death. In the end, he shouted to the sky when he was beheaded.
"God, the eldest princess and her family are so unjust!!"
Jiang Lai chewed melon seeds and complained.
Well, as far as her family's grievance is concerned, a family of young and old who went to hell together deserve to be a stepping stone for the protagonist's growth.
Just when he was about to hit Luo Yang, Little Pudding suddenly shouted.
"Jiang Lai, someone is going to shoot your brother!!"
"Ah, no, Jiang Lai, someone wants to shoot the male protagonist, and the second male protagonist next to you! And you, the female cannon fodder! You don't have the luck to protect your body, hide now!"
At this time, an arrow shot past his ear like a sarcasm. When Jiang Lai was about to hide, he suddenly grasped the speeding arrow firmly with one hand, and then broke it with one hand with a strong force.
"Sister, are you okay..."
"Husband!!"
Jiang Lai, who was watching with great interest, was so startled by the scream that he dropped the melon seeds in his hand. Before he could curse, her movements were faster than her brain. She immediately pushed Murongdun's wheelchair and turned it hard and kicked her feet. He kicked Murong Dun and his chair directly off the execution ground.
Before he had time to see if Murong Dun had been thrown to death, Jiang Lai immediately turned around and ran back. In Jiang Ling's disappointed and gloomy eyes that he had not had time to hide, he rushed in front of him and stretched out his hand to hug him. Jiang Ling used the inertia to push him back.
Just when the arrow grazed his shoulder, Jiang Lai's eyes almost popped out of pain, but he couldn't bear to let the child trap the wolf. To deal with Jiang Ling, a turtle grandson, he had to be better at disguise than him, so Jiang Lai was only scratched. His whole face was drained of blood and his expression was painful, and he fell limply into Jiang Ling's arms.
"Jiang Lai?!"
Jiang Ling held her shoulders, his hands were covered in blood, and the redness was so glaring that his usually calm mind suddenly collapsed.
"Jiang Lai, hold on, I'll take you to see a doctor."
Jiang Lai opened his eyes weakly, stretched out his trembling hand and touched Jiang Ling's face, his eyes full of reluctance and love.
"A Ling, what happened when I was a child was my sister's fault. If I die, you promise me... to take good care of my parents, okay?"
"Don't think too much, nothing will happen."
With that said, Jiang Ling picked up Jiang Lai and shouted at the people behind him.
"Anyone caught hijacking the execution ground will be executed no matter who he is!"
Jiang Lai also knew that she was not that seriously injured, but there was nothing she could do about it. The arrow was aimed at Jiang Ling. Since she had suffered it for him, she had to do the best she could.
For example, now, while Jiang Ling was in chaos, he poured some poison powder on the arrows that fell on the ground, and then rubbed some on his wounds.
The doctor shook his head when he saw Jiang Lai's wound.
"Although the wound is not deep, the arrow is poisonous, and it is still poisonous that can kill people invisible. This poison is rare and there is currently no antidote. Major General, you should find another expert!"
Jiang Ling held the arrow in his hand, his expression gloomy and scary.
He didn't expect that in a scene he directed and acted, there would be someone actually trying to kill him.
If Jiang Lai hadn't blocked it for him today, he would be the one lying injured and dying on the bed.
Everything had been arranged before. He would pretend to be seriously injured and let those people kidnap Luo Yang from the execution ground, and then use Luo Yang's hand to deal with Jiang Xiong.
To take revenge on Jiang Xiong, he didn't want to show up in person, so Luo Yang was the best excuse.
But now someone in the opponent's camp obviously has other thoughts.
What a greedy Luo Yang, who gave her a way to survive and now still wants his life!
"Jiang Lai!"
At this time, Murong Dun's panicked voice came from outside the door. He walked in with difficulty on crutches. When he saw Jiang Lai lying on the bed, his life and death unknown, his eyes turned red instantly.
"You...what do you want?! Why did she become like this?! Why can't you protect her?!"
Murong Dun looked at Jiang Ling, his old and new grudges made him want to kill him directly.
Jiang Ling stared at Murongdun coldly.
"What about you? A cowardly and useless thing!"
"I am her husband and your brother-in-law!"
"Murong Dun, does a man like you really have the nerve to continue dragging others down? You are blind and blind. The maid beside Jiang Lai back then was probably Luo Yang. You married Jiang Lai in order to help her avenge Jiang Xiong. You were the one who used Jiang to steal secrets from the Jiang family, right? In the end, he was demoted to a commoner by Your Majesty.
That stupid woman Jiang Lai has never left you, but you still have Luo Yang in your mind.
Ha...
You guys are really a cheap couple. "(End of Chapter)
