Back in the service room, Zhao Yu kept frowning.

He really couldn't understand, what qualifications did a fifth-grade servant have to make the head of Xichang so cautious?

Soon, the sun was rising three poles high.

Zhao Yu, who had been thinking hard in the service room, got up and packed his clothes and sword at the reminder of the captain, and left the west factory with the captain and the captain of the headquarters.

Xichang is adjacent to Jinyiwei and Liubu Yamen, both outside Chengtian Gate and under the roots of the Imperial City.

At this moment outside Chengtian Gate...

The execution platform was empty.

The entire execution ground was already heavily guarded.

Although everyone knows that this is an unfortunate incident involving bloodshed, the people in the imperial city can't stand it.

All of his subordinates were placed on alert and patrolling the surrounding areas.

However, Zhao Yu was a member of a hundred households and an official after all, so he only had to stand in front of the supervisory platform to show his appearance.

At a quarter past noon, there was a commotion from the crowd waiting to watch the excitement outside.

The crowd that was originally so crowded was now forced to open a wide passage by a group of soldiers.

Six big-bodied sedan bearers carried a very luxurious brocade sedan to the execution ground.

On one side of the sedan, accompanying it was a large stall covered with half armor.

"See the Governor!!!"

All the officers and captains of the West Factory present knelt down on one knee.

And the hundreds and thousands of households like Zhao Yu also bowed and clasped their fists.

The curtain of the sedan chair was opened, and the gentle-looking Governor of the West Factory slowly got up and got off the sedan chair. Immediately, a young eunuch who accompanied him came forward and knelt down under the sedan chair.

Stepping on the little eunuch's back, he got off the sedan and walked slowly towards the execution platform.

After sitting down, the Governor nodded slightly.

Xing Qianhu, who was beside him, immediately shouted loudly: "Bring someone to commit the crime!!"

More than a dozen policemen escorted an unkempt middle-aged man to the execution platform.

When the prisoner was escorted to the center of the execution platform, all the guards present dropped their torture sticks to the ground and shouted loudly.

"Kneel down!!"

Guo An, the servant of the Ministry of Finance, was just a weak scholar. Two servants around him had a stick on the crook of his leg, and he knelt heavily on the execution platform.

The stall owner turned around and looked at the Governor, only to see that the Governor had his eyes slightly closed and remained calm.

Time passed by, and the executioner stood beside Guo An holding a ghost-headed knife, waiting for orders.

The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat solemn.

But at this moment, Zhao Yu frowned again.

This scene...

Why does it feel a bit like Jiangzhou law field?

Could it be said that there are still people who dare to rob the law field at the feet of the emperor?

The prisoner Guo An is just a fifth-grade servant. Who would take such a big risk to save him?

"The Governor?"

At three quarters of noon, the stall owner stepped forward and spoke softly to the governor.

"Um……"

Only then did the Governor open his eyes and waved his hand.

The head of the stall took the order, turned around and gave an order to the executioner Qianhu. The executioner Qianhu turned around and made a beheading gesture towards the executive officer in the distance.

"has a problem!"

At the moment when the executioner raised the ghost-head knife, Zhao Yu subconsciously put his hand on the handle of the Xiuchun knife at his waist.

Whistle…

The moment before the ghost-headed knife fell, a cold light rushed over and shot into the executioner's throat.

Killed with one blow.

"There is an assassin!!"

The executioner fell down, and the guards around him took out their sabers from their waists, staring intently at the crowd that had begun to riot.

There were many soldiers with good martial arts skills who had already scurried away along the place where the cold light suddenly appeared.

On the high platform, the governor and the stall owner looked at each other, but there was no fear in their eyes, but more of a kind of understanding.

As soon as the officer drew his sword, more than a dozen figures emerged from the crowd watching the excitement, and some of them headed towards the execution platform.

However, there were three other people who came straight towards the execution platform.

These three guys, whose martial arts were obviously superior to others, came straight to the Governor.

"kill!!"

Except for Zhao Yu, the idiot of the twenty or so hundred households under the supervision platform, the rest of them had quite strong handles.

Before the three of them arrived at the execution platform, they were already stopped by more than 20 households.

Two of them were entangled, but the middle one broke out of the encirclement and went straight to the high platform.

"Nima!!!"

Zhao Yu had already drawn his sword, but when he saw the assassin coming straight towards him, his legs began to wobble.

There were sounds of killing in the audience, but on the stage, the governor and the stall owner seemed to turn a blind eye to all this.

Not to mention the Governor, even the big stall on one side didn't even draw his sword.

"Protect the Governor!!"

Zhao Yu roared at the assassin, then turned around and ran towards the stage.

He has no martial arts skills, but his brain is quite bright.

At this time, it seems that the assassin is coming for the Governor, but in fact, his side is the safest place!

"Come on! Protect the Governor!"

Zhao Yu came to the stage, roared and slipped towards the back.

The masters on the execution stage all went to attack the assassin. Only Zhao Yu stood in front of Shangguan with a knife in hand and a guarded look on his face.

That posture seemed to tell everyone that if they want to hurt the Governor, they have to step over me first!

It can be said that he is so loyal!

But in fact, only he knows what Zhao Yu is thinking.

If he hadn't thought that he couldn't beat him, Zhao Yu might have helped the assassin and activated his golden finger first.

"The castrated dog is here to die!!"

The guy who rushed up was quite fierce. In the blink of an eye, his long sword flew up and down, stabbing seven or eight West Factory masters around him to the ground.

What surprised Zhao Yu even more was that the front end of the sword in the assassin's hand had a white glow that was half a foot long!

Master!!!

This is a serious master!

The long sword drove straight in, and after swinging away the two swords on the big stall, he stabbed the governor behind him.

As for Zhao Yu, who stood in the middle, he automatically became the Du Gong's shield.

Seeing the approaching sword light, Zhao Yu wanted to hide, but according to his current level, he could only watch the long sword piercing his chest.

The only thing Zhao Yu could do was to sink his body a few inches, barely avoiding the vital point.

Poof!

The long sword penetrated the shoulder. Although it hurt terribly, luckily it avoided the vital point.

The reason why Zhao Yu was able to avoid it was because the assassin's target was the governor of Xichang behind Zhao Yu, not a small household like him.

Otherwise, if a high-level master wants to assassinate a weak person like Zhao Yu, our Zhao Baihu will never be able to escape even if he grows two more legs!

Before Zhao Yu fell to the ground and pretended to be dead, he felt a cold feeling behind him.

After turning around with great effort, he saw the Governor with a sinister smile on his face, lightly holding the tip of the sword that passed over his shoulder with his two fingers.

The two fingers intertwined, and the tip of the sword instantly shattered.

Before the assassin and Zhao Yu could react, the eunuch Lan Hua raised her finger and threw the broken sword in her hand with her backhand.

Poof!

The tip of the sword penetrated Zhao Yu's shoulder blade on the other side.

"Damn it, who did you offend?"

This was the only thought in Zhao Yu's mind before he passed out.

The martial arts of the Governor of Xichang was obviously much higher than that of the assassin. The broken sword penetrated Zhao Yu's shoulder blade and shot out, directly nailing the leading assassin between the eyebrows.

The assassin's eyes widened, he couldn't even imagine that he would die under his own sword in the end.

And in the sea of ​​consciousness of Zhao Yu, who had fainted, a familiar mechanical voice sounded.
Chapter completed!
