Chapter 112 The Execution Ground Rescue (1)
What happened in the palace could not be kept secret and soon the news spread.
The ministers who were still waiting outside the palace to be summoned looked at each other in bewilderment upon receiving the news.
They didn't expect Qi Ye to act so quickly.
They had only been at the palace gates for a short time when Qi Ye had already arrived at the inner palace.
"Is it really necessary to be so proactive about something like this?" they couldn't help but think to themselves.
Fortunately, the Emperor of Eastern Qin intervened; otherwise, the entire harem would have been in chaos.
Meanwhile, Qin Wu had already returned to his palace.
at this time.
Liu Feng is reporting to Qin Wu.
"Your Highness, it has been confirmed. Lingjian Manor plans to abduct Prince Qi during his execution."
"The Sword Master of the Spirit Sword is currently mobilizing manpower."
"The King of Han is also making moves, trying to win over the King of Qi's people to his side."
Liu Feng reported the situation of Lingjian Manor and the King of Han to Qin Wu.
"Kidnap the King of Qi? With his abilities?"
Qin Wu sneered.
With him around, no one can snatch someone away from him.
Even if the Sword Master of the Spirit Sword summoned the Old Sword Master to join him, it wouldn't work.
"They are making preparations now; people from Lingjian Manor around the capital are all heading towards it."
Liu Feng continued.
"Keep an eye on it. I will personally oversee the execution of King Qi."
"I also want to see if Lingjian Manor has the ability to abduct someone right under my nose."
"By the way, go tell Qi Ye to inform His Majesty that Prince Qi and Prince Liuyun will be executed together in three days."
Qin Wu sneered.
That's why he did it.
The intention was to let the people of the hidden Qi Prince's Mansion and Liuyun Prince's Mansion know.
We'll wipe them all out in one fell swoop.
"Yes."
Liu Yun accepted the order and withdrew.
Soon, news of the conspiracy between Prince Liuyun and Prince Qi to rebel spread throughout the capital.
At the same time, it was also announced that Prince Liuyun and Prince Qi would be executed in three days.
The remnants of Liuyun King's and Qi King's forces received the news immediately.
They have already secretly joined forces and are preparing to kidnap King Liuyun and King Qi in three days.
But they didn't know that this was a trap set by Qin Wu for them.
Once they show up, there's no escape.
Consort Xian in the palace also received the news. She immediately sent someone to contact her father and the Prince of Han, hoping they could find a way to rescue the Prince of Qi.
However, the King of Han only gave a superficial agreement.
As a prince, he knew very well that it was impossible to rescue the King of Qi.
He had a feeling that if he were to take action this time, he would likely not have a good outcome either.
When this feeling arose, the King of Han suspected that this might be a conspiracy by the Divine Warrior King.
He trusted his intuition completely, because it had saved him from being tricked many times.
Three days passed quickly.
For the past three days, the capital city appeared calm, but everyone knew that this was the calm before the storm.
Everyone was watching closely, wanting to see if the people of Liuyun King and Qi King were capable of rescuing them from the execution, or if Shenwu King would be more cunning and capture them all in one fell swoop.
That morning, Qin Wu personally led his men to the Imperial Guard prison.
The Qi King and all the male members of the Liuyun Prince's Mansion were put into execution carts and sent out of the Meridian Gate.
Along the way, due to Qin Wu's deliberate actions, the team's speed was unusually slow, covering a distance that should have taken an hour.
It took Qin Wu and his group two full hours to travel.
This attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
This was the first time in over a century that two royal princes had been executed simultaneously in Eastern Qin.
Moreover, they were all executed for treason.
When Qin Wu and the others arrived at the execution ground, the area outside the Meridian Gate was already completely surrounded.
Qin Wu knew that there were probably many people with ulterior motives hiding among them.
However, Qin Wu didn't care; this was exactly what he wanted.
The next step is to wait for these people to make their move, and then he can take the opportunity to wipe them all out.
In a teahouse not far away.
The Sword Master of the Spirit Sword sat in a private box on the top floor, coldly watching the execution ground.
Looking at Qin Wu sitting in the executioner's seat.
He didn't care about anyone else in the entire execution ground, but he had to be careful around this Divine Martial King.
He knew this person's strength; he was no match for him.
However, he had already made plans for today; his only responsibility was to lead King Qi and King Liuyun away.
The other men of Liuyun King and Qi King will step in to hold off Shenwu King.
Time passes little by little.
Soon it was noon.
"Your Highness, it's time."
An official from the Ministry of Justice reported this to Qin Wu.
"let's start!"
Qin Wu gave the order without expression.
"Yes."
"The time has come...execution."
After receiving Qin Wu's orders, the officials of the Ministry of Justice immediately issued the order.
The Imperial Guards immediately brought up twenty men.
And so the execution began.
Because Qin Wu disliked the noise, he had them all gagged.
Half an hour later.
All the male members of the Liuyun Prince's Mansion and the Qi Prince's Mansion had been executed, leaving only the Liuyun Prince and the Qi Prince.
"The King of Liuyun and the King of Qi were to be executed by being cut into a thousand pieces and placed on an iron plate. While the execution was being carried out, the King of Liuyun and the King of Qi were invited to eat their last meal."
Qin Wu spoke calmly.
The common people below did not understand what Qin Wu meant.
Isn't the last meal eaten before execution? Why are they being eaten now, right before the execution?
The people were very curious.
Not only ordinary people, but also people from various powerful forces were very curious.
No sooner had Qin Wu finished speaking than he saw the Imperial Guards carrying a roasting oven up to Xingtai.
It was placed in the middle of Xingtai, and then a cook came up next.
This left those below even more puzzled.
However, no one answered their questions.
Seeing this, the Sword Master of the Spirit Sword in the distance felt a bad premonition.
"Go and inform them that they must act immediately when King Qi and King Liuyun appear; we cannot delay any longer."
The master of the spirit sword gave instructions to those around him.
"Yes."
The man beside him responded and left.
Soon, King Qi and King Liuyun were brought up.
The two of them are no longer the spirited people they once were; they have been tormented beyond recognition.
Just then, someone shouted from the crowd below.
"Do it."
