Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 140 Decent
Zhang Yi, who was sent by Liu Zhang to the Qiongdu City County Temple to escort Gao Ding to Qiongchi for execution, looked surprised when Gao Ding asked him his name.

The performance of the prisoner's couture was really beyond his expectation. On the one hand, the couture did not have the panic and trembling behavior of the usual death row prisoners, and on the other hand, there was no bone-deep fear in the face of death.

Gao Ding's face was calm and his manners were appropriate. He didn't look like a death row prisoner who was about to go to the execution ground, but rather like a person who was preparing to drive a carriage on a trip.

This is not a performance that can be done by pretentiousness or pretense in haute couture. Zhang Yi is a smart man, and he can see that haute couture is done out of his heart. Whenever haute couture has a little bit of fear, flaws will be exposed in front of him, but There was no inappropriate behavior in Gao Ding, which greatly surprised Zhang Yi.

Not afraid of death, such a character is rare in the world!
What's more, Gao Ding is a barbarian, which is even more rare. It seems that there are high scholars among the barbarians.

After a while, with some respect for Gao Ding, Zhang Yi answered Gao Ding's question: "I am from Chengdu in Xia Shu County. My surname is Zhang Yi and my given name is Junsi. I am currently serving in the Prefecture Mufu."

"It turns out that he is Zhang Jun from Chengdu. He has served in the Prefecture Mufu at a young age. No wonder he has an extraordinary appearance." Gao Ding complimented. He was thinking that if he was recruited by Liu Zhang, he would have to deal with Zhang Jun from Chengdu. It is a good thing to make friends in advance and pay a little tribute.

"Mr. Gao is so complimentary." Zhang Yi said modestly, then pointed to the carriage and said to the two strong men on the left and right of Gao Ding: "Help Mr. Gao get on the carriage. It's not easy to teach him to wait."

After saying this, the strong men on Gao Ding's left and right helped Gao Ding onto the carriage. Zhang Yi also rode on the horse brought by his attendants, and the group headed for Qiongchi outside the city.

Gao Ding, who was sitting in the carriage, straightened up his appearance slightly. This was to leave a good impression on Liu Zhang when he met with Yizhou Shepherd Liu Zhang later in Qiongchi. At the same time, he polished his words to deal with Liu Zhang in his heart, carefully Considered carefully.

Zhang Yi, who was riding beside the carriage, couldn't help but admire Gaoding even more when he saw Gaoding adjusting his clothes. He thought of Zilu, a student of Confucius in the past. Before Zilu died, his tassel was broken by the enemy.Zilu said at that time: "A gentleman will inevitably be crowned after death." 'Killed in the process of re-tying the tassel.

This high-definition scholar can be regarded as a scholar, a scholar with character, and a decent scholar.Zhang Yi made a final conclusion about Gao Ding in his mind. Although Gao Ding was a rebellious barbarian and was about to be punished, this did not prevent Zhang Yi from appreciating Gao Ding.

Qiongchi is on the side of Qiongdu City, and the distance between the two is not very far. Zhang Yi and his party arrived at Qiongchi quickly.

Gao Ding, who was sitting on the carriage, saw such a scene in Qiongchi. Banners were spread out in the autumn wind, swords and swords were like forests, and soldiers with helmets and armor were standing in formation beside Qiongchi. In the military formation, he saw the Yi people of the Gao clan. Each Yi people was tied with ropes and lined up, just like the fish schools he had seen in Qiongchi, neat and orderly.

'Liu Zhang is planning to use force to intimidate me. When Gao Ding saw this scene, he made a judgment in his mind. He was very optimistic. The more Liu Zhang behaved like this, the more it meant that he could save a small life.

I am safe and sound, and Gao Ding actually showed a slight smile on his face at this time.

Liu Zhang, who was floating on the Qiong Pond, returned to the center of the military formation surrounded by a crowd of people.

Liu Zhang looked at Qiongchi from a distance. Under the sunlight, the water surface of Qiongchi sparkled like an endless piece of emerald, shining with soft golden light.The weeping willows on the shore of Qiong Pond twist their waists in the breeze, curling gracefully and charmingly.

The sky was high and the clouds were clear, the autumn wind was strong, and with such beautiful scenery before his eyes, Liu Zhang felt a little emotional. The current situation was suitable for reciting poems, composing poems, and drinking water. Unfortunately, he could not do these elegant things today. Instead, he wanted to kill. Killing, killing a lot of people, to be more precise, killing a lot of barbarians.

Liu Zhang withdrew his eyes from looking at Qiongchi. He noticed that Zhang Yi was back, and Zhang Yi was escorting Gao Ding back.

Earlier Yongkai was killed by Yi Wang Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan was killed by Yong Mian, and Yong Mian was killed by Lou Fa. Now among the rebels, the only one with high status was Gao Ding. Therefore, Liu Zhang sent people to heal Gao Ding's injuries. He was injured by an arrow, and Gao Ding was carefully adjusted in terms of diet, so that Gao Ding could live well, so that he could have a chance to understand the canonical punishment of Gao Ding and fill the sense of ritual of pacifying Nanzhong.

Gao Ding on the carriage saw Liu Zhang surrounded by crowds. Not knowing Liu Zhang's appearance, he judged Liu Zhang's identity based on Liu Zhang's demeanor and the behavior of the people around him.

Regardless of the arrow wound on his knee, he jumped off the carriage with one leg, prostrated in the direction of Liu Zhang, and shouted: "Qiongdu Gaoding, I have seen Liu Shijun." Gaoding knelt for a long time, but Liu Zhang didn't ask him to get up. , when he was considering whether to raise his head and glance at Liu Zhang's expression, he heard a familiar voice. It was Zhang Yi who had escorted him to Qiongchi.

At Liu Zhang's signal, Zhang Yi declared loudly: "The Soyi Gao family has rebelled against Nanzhong and has behaved particularly badly. We should destroy their nests and destroy their species..."

This is a threat first, a slap in the face and then a sweet date. Gao Ding has a clear mind and continues to kneel down and listen calmly.

"However, killing all the women and children of the Gao family is not something done by the king's master. Therefore, we must kill all the strong ones and spare the lives of the women and children. Now there is Gaoding, the son of King Gaoyuan of Yi, who should be killed first to expose his crime and show his power and virtue."

"Ah!" Gao Ding was surprised and raised his head without any scruples. The words that came out of Zhang Yi's mouth were like the cold wind of nine winters, freezing his heart.

This was different from what he had imagined. If Liu Zhang didn't want to surrender him, why would he send a doctor to treat his arrow wound? Why would his food be so good? Why would he use a carriage to transport him to Qiongchi?

Gao Ding lost his mind and knelt down without any form. His figure collapsed and fell to the ground like a pile of mud.

Zhang Yi looked at Gao Ding in front of him and looked surprised at first, then tears filled Gao Ding's eyes, and a ball of snot flowed out of Gao Ding's nostrils. Gao Ding's whole body shook into chaff, and then Gao Ding's two steps In the meantime, an irregular water mark appeared.

Gao Ding's frightened and incontinent look made Zhang Yi sigh inwardly. Gao Ding's indifferent expression in front of him finally showed his timidity when faced with the threat of death.

'It's a bit unseemly! Liu Zhang naturally saw Gao Ding's reaction. Just now he saw Gao Ding get off the carriage and calmly greeted him. He was also a little surprised that Gao Ding behaved so decently in the face of death.

But he didn't expect that Gao Ding would break down so quickly and even wet his pants. It can be seen that he only knew that he would die when the situation happened, and his words were true.

Gao Ding wanted to say something to beg for mercy, but his tongue was spinning, but no words came out. In a state of despair, he was pulled to the guillotine and had no intention of exploring the use of this strange instrument in front of him. Gao Ding finally He straightened his tongue and begged, "Shijun Liu, please spare my life."

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

It's a pity that Gaoding's words of begging for mercy were noisy in the ears of everyone. Gaoding's appearance also made everyone feel shameless. They felt that Gaoding should maintain the calm and decent attitude of saluting Liu Zhang. Some were tortured.

In Gaoding's constant begging for mercy, his head was jammed by the soldier with the round hole under the guillotine. When everything was ready, the soldier who was holding the rope used to lift the guillotine blade released his hand. Under the pull of gravity, it fell diagonally. The giant blade fell downwards, and when it touched Gao Ding's neck, it cut off Gao Ding's head like a knife cutting tofu, ending his endless chatter and begging for mercy.

'Louis XVI was a genius. The guillotine was much easier to use than killing with an axe. It saved trouble and effort. Liu Zhang praised and expressed his admiration for the talent of Louis XVI in Paris.

Gao Ding died, and then his body was thrown aside. The execution soldiers led the Yi soldiers of the Gao tribe to the guillotine in an orderly manner.

Liu Zhang watched for a while, and after seeing that the guillotine was working well, he left the execution site. Although he had been in battle for a long time and was used to seeing scenes of murder and bloodshed, although he didn't feel it physically anymore, he felt somewhat mentally. Still not used to it.

He is still kind-hearted and does not want to kill anyone.
