The rebirth of the evil woman is not easy to mess with

Chapter 985 An ambush at Caishikou!
A few months ago, the president of Tianxiahui gave Zheng Xiu a secret mission, asking him to refine puppets in Linzhou City, and to use the puppet army to compete with the Zhou army when preparing for an uprising in the future.

A puppet who is tireless and painless, is the best candidate for the charge.

Although Zheng Xiu knew it would be against the law to do so, he resolutely agreed in order to avenge the court.

However, there is a very serious side effect in the process of refining puppets, that is, it will greatly increase the speed of aging.

It's okay for him to secretly refine a few to drive them. If he wants to refine an army of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of puppets, his lifespan alone may not be enough to lose it even if he dies a few times.

So he thought of a transfer method, recruited a few apprentices from the Tianxiahui, and taught them how to refine puppets, but he didn't teach them the most critical way to describe the soul-controlling formation and the formation on the silver needle.

In this way, these dozen or so apprentices became his helpers in refining the puppets, and he only needed to find a few other skilled craftsmen to help describe the formation.

But paper can't contain the fire, and it didn't take long for the dozen or so apprentices to change from strong young men in their early 20s to middle-aged and elderly people in their 50s and [-]s.

They were amazed by the changes in themselves, but they didn't know that their lifespan was almost exhausted because of the evil nature.

Zheng Xiu had already thought up an excuse for this, saying that as long as he helped Tianxiahui finish refining the puppets, he would give them the antidote and restore them to their original state, but a few apprentices were very smart and refused to continue to work for him.

In this regard, he had no choice but to tell the truth to the president of the Tianxiahui. If he wanted to refine enough puppets, someone had to make sacrifices, and then those traitors were also killed by the president.

At this time, Zheng Xiu was locked in an iron cage and detained in the vegetable market of Linzhou City, waiting for the trial of the people.

But he is not panicking at this time, he has enjoyed what he should enjoy, eating, drinking, having fun, women's money, he has enjoyed it all, from a poor scholar in a remote village to now one of the eight elders of the Tianxiahui, he has had enough in this life.

An old lady gritted her teeth and leaned on crutches and cursed: "You bastard, you killed my son, daughter-in-law, and my little grandson, you pay them back!"

Refining puppets is not [-]% successful, and one in five people will die from accidents caused by improper insertion of silver needles into acupoints. Therefore, the failure rate of the early apprentices is very high, and many people died.

Another young man was also very angry, wishing he could rush into the cage and kill Rusty. He just got married last year, and his wife was also pregnant in the spring of this year.

But this goddamn world will be in chaos, and he and his wife were refined into puppets. If it wasn't just for the emperor's private visit, he and his wife would have died long ago.

Although his wife was also rescued, but because after being refined into a puppet, he didn't take good care of his body, the child was stillborn. Therefore, he not only hated Zheng Xiu, an evil Taoist, but also hated the world for taking human life lightly.

Today, 3 to [-] people came to the vegetable market, and it was truly empty. Almost all the men, women, and children in Linzhou City rushed over to participate in this public sentencing meeting.

Li Qingmu called the servants of the local government office to maintain order. Seeing the excitement of the crowd, the people gathered around the iron cage and cursed at Zheng Xiu. Feeling that the time was almost up, he asked the servants to ring the gong.

He used his internal strength to announce loudly: "Recently, there is an evil person who harmed one side, refined the people of Linzhou into puppets, and conspired to rebel. It has been found out that this person is Zheng Xiu, a native of Linzhou..."

Li Qingmu's voice was loud and penetrating. He had already announced his identity, and explained clearly the activities of the Tianxiahui and Zheng Xiu. Even the way he controlled the puppets was well-founded.

More than 1 people in Linzhou had been refined into puppets, and only after being rescued by Li Qingmu did they return to normal.

Their enthusiasm was high, and before Li Qingmu finished speaking, they yelled loudly: "Kill him! Kill him!"

Well, it seems that everyone has the same hatred and wants that Zheng Xiu to die.

So Li Qingmu announced with a smile: "This matter is not the work of the king alone, I will ask the emperor to announce the final judgment!"

Qi Jingyu strode forward, the majesty of the emperor on his body could not be seen, looked at Zheng Xiu, and threw down the order in his hand: "Slay the decision!"

At this moment, two Yulongtai masters lifted Zheng Xiu out of the cage, sent him to the guillotine in front of all the people, and held up a sharp sword, ready to chop off his head.

Among the crowd, two men wearing bamboo hats looked at each other, and one of them asked, "Can you save Elder Zheng?"

"Of course we have to save him. His role is too great, and we can't afford to lose it."

The other person looked at Qi Jingyu with a gloomy expression, and then at Li Qingmu. The pair of uncles and nephews controlled the government, and they got together, and they happened to catch them all!
Just when the executioner's knife was about to fall, a screaming iron marble flew out of the crowd and shot at the executioner's right wrist, followed by hundreds of people in various costumes. Flock to the guillotine!

It's a pity that they misjudged the strength of the executioner. The person holding the knife was none other than Yan Luo. Although his right wrist was injured, he still completed the beheading action with his left hand alone!

"Shh!"

Zheng Xiu rolled his head to the ground with an excited expression, and then the excitement on his face turned into disbelief. He saw familiar faces pouring out of the crowd, and all the elders of the Tianxiahui were present.

I thought I could escape my life, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late!
Yan Luo backed away with a sneer. He had expected such an attack a long time ago, so even though his right wrist was injured by marbles, he still reluctantly completed the beheading action.

Qi Jingyu on the stage was a little flustered. He frequently cast his gaze at Li Qingmu, but he didn't say anything.

Because he is not the real Qi Jingyu, but a counterfeit arranged by Li Qingmu.

Seeing that someone in the audience was trying to rob the court, Li Qingmu sneered again and again, and immediately signaled: "Hurry up and evacuate the people, and at the same time ask people to prepare to surround them!"

"Yes!" Yan Luo took the order and left.

Today's court trial is actually a conspiracy. The world will know that the emperor and Li Qingmu have appeared at the same time, and they will definitely come to assassinate them, but Li Qingmu has long been prepared.

After the people evacuate, all the exits around the vegetable market will be blocked by horses, and all the roofs will be occupied by heavy crossbows erected by the imperial army.

At that time, all directions will be home to heavy crossbows, and none of the Tianxiahui members in the field will be able to escape!

When the common people saw the commotion at the scene, they immediately fled in all directions. Li Qingmu didn't forget to recruit gangsters for the Tianxiahui, and made people shout loudly to persuade them to leave, saying that the Tianxiahui was coming to rob the dharma ground.

Because there were too many people at the scene, it became a mess, and the people of the Tianxiahui were also overwhelmed by the rioting crowd. After most of the people dispersed, there were still more than 100 people left at the scene.

These are the elites of the Tianxiahui, but not all of them, because there are still tens of thousands of people who have ambushed around and surrounded the entire Linzhou city, and they will immediately raise troops to capture Linzhou city after the emperor is assassinated here.

Then, starting from Linzhou City, they began to capture other cities one after another.

The other sub-helms of the Tianxiahui have also received orders, and today is the day of the incident!
