Chapter 172 Beheading in the Street
Zhenli's words made everyone's faces change drastically. They all stepped back, trying to distance themselves from the man.
"How dare you say such things? You really are asking for your life!"
"Hurry up, stay away from him, otherwise the people from the Military Office will mistakenly think we know him. If that happens, we will be skinned alive!"
Seeing this, Zhenli felt even colder.
Are the people of Beisha City so afraid of Yang You? How many abominable things has he done?
"Uncle, do you recognize this old man?"
Shu He asked the middle-aged man who had stopped him earlier, wanting to know the full story. Unexpectedly, the uncle immediately retreated upon hearing his words, quickly waving his hands in denial.
"No, I don't know him, I don't know him..."
Shu He's eyes flickered slightly. He had just called him "Old Yangtou", which meant that he knew the old man, but why didn't he admit it?
"Who is causing trouble here?!" A fierce and angry shout came from outside the crowd.
Hearing this voice, the people who had been gathered in a circle changed color and quickly made way for the newcomers.
Two men dressed as guards, with long swords slung around their waists, walked in arrogantly.
Seeing Shu He supporting the old man, the two men immediately raised their eyes with disbelief in their eyes, "Who are you? What are you doing? Don't you know that this is someone who will be dealt with by the army?"
Shu He looked at Zhen Li behind him and said, "Send this old man to the car. I will go back and treat him later."
The car that was sent was naturally not Baili Moqing's, but the carriage that Bei Ji was riding in.
The carriage to the north was driven by one of Zhang Zhiyi's men. After finishing the business with the princess, Zhang Zhiyi returned to the military camp.
After hearing this, Zhenli picked up the old man on the ground.
Seeing this, the guard quickly drew his sword and cursed, "Asshole! Can't you hear me? This is a man we soldiers ordered to be executed! Who dares to save him? Don't you want to live anymore?"
Zhen Li turned around, staring at the two men with unfriendly eyes, and asked, "How dare a soldier order the execution of civilians? Who gave him the right?"
"I want you to meddle in other people's business? In Beisha City, joining the army is our right. We can do anything!"
Zhenli snorted coldly, "Very good!"
He went straight to the carriage to accommodate the old man.
Seeing this, the guard's face was filled with anger, and he swung his knife and slashed, "If you want to die, I will grant your wish!"
Seeing this scene, Shu He's face turned stern and he kicked out suddenly.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"Ouch!!"
Two muffled sounds were heard, followed by the painful howls of the two guards.
Shu He patted her skirt and felt a little relieved.
It’s bad enough that she can’t beat the guards of the Princess’s Mansion, but how could she not beat these small characters?
As he moved, the wound on his shoulder split open again, and blood oozed out of the gauze again.
Seeing this, Baili Moqing in the car looked gloomy and almost rushed out.
"You dare to hit someone from the Military Officer's Mansion! Just wait! The Military Officer will make sure you're in trouble!" The two guards were furious and shouted, "Come, come quickly! Someone is trying to assassinate the Military Officer! Come and catch the assassin!"
Shu He laughed angrily.
How come she was called an "assassin" twice in one day?
Seeing this, the onlookers retreated one after another, their faces pale and full of regret.
"It's over now! I'm afraid this woman won't be able to escape!"
"Soldiers love beautiful women. If they are caught, I'm afraid this woman will be raped!" Someone expressed his concern.
When the people nearby heard this, they quickly covered the man's mouth and scolded him angrily, "Keep your voice down! How dare you say that! Do you want to be like that old Yang too?"
The man immediately fell silent, covered his mouth tightly, and dared not make any more sound.
As he was speaking, more than a dozen guards armed with knives rushed out of the military mansion and came forward aggressively.
"Where are the assassins?"
The fallen guard saw his captain coming and quickly got up from the ground, "Captain, it's that woman. She wants to assassinate the general!"
The captain of the guard was puzzled when he saw that it was a woman with a gentle temperament, a thin body and a look of malnutrition.
"Is this woman an assassin?" The team leader looked at his men, clearly disbelieving.
"Really, Captain! Don't be fooled by her weak appearance. She's quite strong! She kicked us away with one kick!"
"Yes, Captain, this woman is skilled in martial arts!" another person echoed.
"Not only that, she even rescued Old Yang! That was the order from the military commander that no one was allowed to rescue him! This woman was clearly disrespectful to the commander! She even assaulted his guards. I suspect she wanted to assassinate him!"
"Captain, let's catch her!"
The man with a sour face kept adding fuel to the fire in the leader's ear, and Shu He couldn't help but sneer.
Why are there so many people in this world who like to distort the facts?
Zhu Zifeng is like this, and so is this guard!
What a disappointing world!
After hearing this, the team leader looked at Shu He from head to toe, from left to right, especially his face, where he stayed for the longest time.
Apart from being too thin, the face is actually quite good-looking. I wonder if adults like it?
The guard next to him seemed to understand what he meant and quickly came over and whispered, "Captain, the ones in the lord's backyard have almost had enough fun, it's time to bring in new people!"
"Although this woman looks skinny, she's still quite pretty. Even if you don't like her, can't you still give her to us?"
It wasn't the first or second time that the general had given them women he'd grown tired of playing with. Even though they'd been played with before, it was still good for the brothers to let off some steam. Since he'd said so, I was sure the captain would be tempted!
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the captain's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at the subordinate who gave him advice with admiration.
The two men had lewd smiles on their faces and looked at Shu He with unfriendly eyes. Their eyes were like admiring their prey, and the more they looked, the more satisfied they became.
"Ergou, you're right, this woman is really pretty!" The captain said in a low voice, a meaningful smile on his face, and then shouted, "Come here, arrest this woman who is trying to assassinate the soldier! Hand her over to the soldier for punishment!"
Shu He had a gloomy face and listened to all their conversations.
Even when they were planning, they did not avoid the people around them and acted recklessly, as if this had already become the norm.
Shu He truly regretted it. When Baili Moqing asked Lu Yuquan to capture Yang You, she had tried to stop him, hoping to use him to confuse Beidi's forces. But she hadn't expected...
She should have let Baili Moqing's men kill him at that time!
The guards rushed forward with knives in hand, but before they could make a move, Zhen Li appeared and kicked them all away with his extremely fast feet.
Suddenly, screams were heard.
When the onlookers saw this scene, excitement welled up on their faces.
After all these years, someone is finally able to deal with these bullies in official uniforms!
However, General Yang is an official appointed by the imperial court. If this young couple offends the general, they will probably not have a good ending, right?
"You, who are you? How dare you beat an imperial official! Do you know that this is a capital crime?!" The leading captain covered his chest with his hands. Although he was afraid, he still mustered up the courage to scold.
"An official appointed by the imperial court?" Zhen Li's face, hidden beneath his mask, was filled with coldness, and his exposed eyes were also filled with a cold glint. "Tell me, what official are you? What is your rank? Do you have a document of appointment from the imperial court?"
Zhenli's three consecutive questions made the captain stunned and he became visibly panicked.
"I, I am..."
"Let me remind you that impersonating an imperial official is a capital crime! In serious cases, all nine generations of your family will be punished!" Zhen Kai spoke up, interrupting his thoughtless words.
Sure enough, the captain was so frightened by Zhenli's aura and the words "impersonating an official of the imperial court", "death penalty" and "punishing all nine generations of the clan" that he lost his mind and stood there in a daze.
The man next to him, known as "Er Gou," saw this and, not realizing the seriousness of the situation, cursed, "You bastards! We are guards of imperial officials, and we are officials too. If we collide with you, we will die!"
Shu He picked up a long knife on the ground and put it directly on the neck of the "Er Gou". "You guys have done a lot of things like robbing women, right?"
"What do you mean by robbing a woman? This is normal for us..."
"Pfft!"
A cold light flashed, and the voice of "Ergou" stopped abruptly.
Blood splattered on the bustling street. The bright red liquid emitted wisps of hot steam and solidified into ice the moment it hit the ground.
This scene made countless people's hands and feet go cold and their whole bodies were icy.
