Chapter 24
"My lord! What crime did Li Ce commit?! You want to kill him." Seeing that he was about to be executed, Er Niu shouted. Innately more stable than women.

"What did you commit? Hmph! Murder, extortion, and yelling at the court! Either one is enough to punish him with death!" Guo Quanyao said viciously.

As soon as County Magistrate Guo said this on stage, the people watching from the audience began to discuss it.

"So this little scholar really killed someone, I really can't see..."

"Don't just listen to Fatty Guo's nonsense, don't you know what kind of official status he is? I see, things are probably not that simple..."

Er Niu was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Who did he kill?"

"Bold, you dare to question the judge's trial, don't disturb the court! Otherwise, you will be guilty of the same crime!" Guo Quanyao knew that he was wronged, and he didn't want to continue to argue with this strong man, so he used his official authority to intimidate him.

"My lord, how can human life be so hasty, and we refuse to accept such an unclear judgment!" Er Niu shouted, he is not stupid, he knows Li Ce, how is it possible to kill someone?He is a scholar, he dare not kill a chicken!
Er Niu took the lead in yelling, and several hunters who were usually close to him also yelled, and some common people also started talking and pointing, and the crowd gradually boiled over.

Seeing this scene, Guo Quanyao was also at a loss. If the people rebelled, he would be unable to eat and walk away.

At this time, Ma Fucai, who was standing under the stage, walked quickly to the county magistrate Guo, and whispered: "My lord, don't stop, you will be subject to chaos. These people are just following suit. You hurry up and kill Li Ce, and the people have finished watching." The excitement will naturally end, don't delay our drinking, hehe..."

"Yes, you are right." Guo Quan Yaoyin said with a smile.He cleared his throat, slapped the gavel and said: "Silence! There must be no noise on the execution ground! This case has been judged by the judge, and now the time has come, execute immediately!"

After Guo Quanyao finished speaking, he winked, and the executioner who was standing on the side stepped forward with a big knife in his hand.

Li Ce heard the footsteps of the executioner getting closer and closer, his heart was anxious, and his heartbeat began to increase rapidly. The feeling of oppression made him feel a little out of breath, even a feeling of suffocation... Am I going to die? ?Only then did he know how terrifying the breath of death was!I never imagined that I would die so uselessly!

"No way!" Er Niu took the lead in shouting again, and the brave ones among the people also shouted.

Xian'er also woke up slowly at this time, and she saw that the executioner had walked behind Li Ce with a big knife in his hand, his pretty face was pale with fright, and his beautiful eyes were full of tears, watching this scene in horror.She looked at Li Ce in despair, her eyes were full of determination, if he died, she would never live alone!
The executioner didn't care about the shouts of the crowd. He stood behind Li Ce, turned his neck, moved his arms again, stood behind his heels, and then swung his big knife...

Li Ce took one last look at Yu Xian'er, closed his eyes, and finally a stream of tears flowed down...

The executioner's big knife was about to be swung down, when suddenly a thunderous voice came from far and near: "Keep people under the knife!"

The executioner was stunned, the knife stopped in mid-air, Li Ce also opened his eyes, he was panting heavily, he felt that his body was already sweating, the world was spinning in front of his eyes, and even his spirit was a little trance.

The people onlookers turned their heads to look, and saw several people galloping towards here on fine horses. The leader was wearing a black armor. He leaned over the horse, holding the rein in one hand and a copper rod in the other. Several people were also dressed in the same way, and the shout just now came from the leading general.

Guo Quanyao was also taken aback, why the border guards came, he subconsciously felt something was wrong, he quickly winked and hinted to the executioner to kill Li Ce immediately, the executioner knew it, and he was about to cut him off!
Er Niu also heard it from below. At first, he heard someone yelling "Keep people under the knife", and the executioner stopped the execution. He was relieved, but when he saw Fatty Guo hinting at the executioner, he was shocked and wanted to He jumped up on the stage to stop it, but it was a bit late when he realized that the knife was about to fall!
At this critical moment, there was only a sharp "swoosh" sound of piercing the air, followed by a loud "dang" sound of metal clashing, Li Ce felt a sharp weapon flying past his scalp , the strong wind made his scalp numb, and there was a muffled sound behind him, as if the executioner fell down!

He looked back subconsciously, and saw the executioner lying on the ground with his right hand covered, blood was flowing from the tiger's mouth in his right hand, and the big knife he was holding just now was broken in two and fell to the ground!What was even more frightening was that a stick of cooked copper with the thickness of an arm and a length of one zhang was inserted obliquely into the wooden board of Xingtai, and it had already gone a large part.

Was it just this stick that flew past his scalp?After a moment of fear, Li Ce felt cold sweat running down his back, and he suddenly woke up.

It turned out that when the executioner's sword was about to be cut off, the general galloping over, seeing that the situation was critical, used all his strength to throw the copper rod in his hand as a javelin!He intended to save people, so he aimed at the executioner's big knife and threw it over. He is really brave. As long as his calculation is slightly off, the knife will fall on Li Ce's neck, or if he throws it slightly off, then Li Ce Ce Ke was not beheaded by a knife, but was beaten to death by a flying copper rod.

The force of the future is boundless, the copper rod weighs at least twenty catties, he threw it with all his strength, coupled with the inertia of the flying, so suddenly hit the big knife in the executioner's hand, the big knife broke on the spot For two cuts, the right hand of the executioner holding the knife was also shaken so that the tiger's mouth burst, blood flowed, and the entire tendon of the right arm was injured, and even if the right hand was healed, it was equivalent to useless, and it could no longer be used. I tried hard.

In such a second, such a big change happened suddenly. Everyone was unexpected. The sudden change made the people stunned. The originally bustling execution ground became quiet.

At this time, several Song soldiers who came on horseback also came in front of them. The leading general got off his horse one by one. This man had a black face and a very burly body, like an iron tower.

Li Ce only felt that it was very familiar, as if he had seen it before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

The black-faced general strode onto the stage, first stretched out his hand to support Li Ce, and then untied him from the rope. At this moment, Li Ce couldn't recover, he was a little dazed, and the black-faced general laughed heartily: "Why, Don’t remember a certain family? The Liao people invaded that night, and a certain family fought side by side with you!”

"Oh, I remembered, you are the general of the night city tower!" Li Ce said in surprise, he knew that envoy Chen Jinglue should have sent someone to rescue him, and it seemed that he would not die.

"Haha, Mr. Li still remembers me. I came here to pick up Mr. Chen and go to the barracks for a briefing." The black-faced general was obviously very happy to see Li Ce recognized him.

"Oh, dare to ask the general's name?" Li Ce asked with a smile.

"What general is not a general? I'm just a school lieutenant. You can call me Lao Song." The black-faced general smiled.

This man's name is Song Jingang, he is a commander of the capital under Chen Yaozuo's command, he is extremely brave in battle, he is indeed a rare and fierce general.

"Thank you Captain Song for saving my life. Today is really thanks to Captain Song's divine soldiers descending from heaven, otherwise my little life would have been lost." Li Ce said and wanted to salute Song Jingang, but was grabbed by Song Jingang Pulled.

Seeing that Li Ce had not been beheaded, Yu Xian'er could not stop the tears from streaming down her eyes, seeing that a noble person should have rescued him. She read softly, "Li Lang..."

Li Ce's heart trembled, and he hurriedly walked towards Yu Xian'er. At this time, Xian'er ignored everyone's gaze, hugged Li Ce suddenly, and buried her head deeply in his chest, feeling wronged and embarrassed at the same time. Fear, but also joy, all kinds of feelings came to my heart, thousands of words but I didn't know how to say it, the joy of regaining what was lost was not expressed, but the tears fell down uncontrollably...
