Chapter 47: Prisoner Rescue at the Execution Ground

Chapter 47: Prisoner Rescue at the Execution Ground
"Why did everything change all of a sudden?"

Zhao Gao was wailing in his heart, wondering why the changes happened so quickly, even catching him off guard.

At this time, Zhao Gao remembered that when Ying Zheng sent him to inspect the surrounding counties, he also asked him to quickly summon Hu Hai to Pei County.

I'm afraid that at that time, the fate of Hu Hai and his Zhao Gao was already doomed.

Zhao Gao acted like a madman, shouting, cursing and yelling.

The county lieutenant of Liu County and the jailers ignored him and waited until he was exhausted before serving him his last meal.

"Eat, don't starve to death on the way."

Liu County Wei Dao.

Hearing this, Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, tears streaming down his eyes, and without caring about his dirty hands, he grabbed the food and started stuffing it into his mouth, eating numbly and swallowing it down.

Soon, the time was almost up, and someone immediately escorted Zhao Gao out.

This time, not only Zhao Gao was executed, but also seven or eight other death row prisoners. All of them had their hands tied behind their backs. Soon, they were escorted to the execution ground in Caishikou.

At this time, the execution ground was already surrounded by people, bustling and noisy.

Many death row prisoners, including Zhao Gao, were forced to kneel.

Then, behind each death row prisoner, a burly executioner holding a large knife would approach.

Then the death cards behind many death row prisoners were drawn out and thrown on the ground.

"cut!"

Following a shout from the magistrate of Liu County, the executioners suddenly raised the swords in their hands.

"Save someone under the knife!"

At this moment, another angry shout rang out among the noisy crowd.

"Swoosh! Lin! Swoosh!"

The moment this sound was heard, dozens of arrows flew out.

At this moment, Zhao Gao, who had originally closed his eyes waiting for death, suddenly opened his eyes, thinking that someone had saved him when the time came.

But I didn't expect that after the angry shout, there would be arrows flying towards me.

At this time, several executioners standing on the platform had already raised their hands when they shouted "behead", and then the swords fell.

But then they were startled by the shout, and some people stopped swinging their swords immediately, but some people did not stop in time, and their swords deviated.

Some executioners have already chopped off the heads of the prisoners with their swords.

Almost as dozens of arrows flew out, two or three prisoners' heads were chopped off and blood spurted into the sky.

At this time, Zhao Gao suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left elbow, which made him scream.

But at this time, through the messy hair, he could still see clearly who came to rescue the prisoners, and his eyes were full of doubt and confusion.

It turned out to be Tian Heng who was captured by him that day!
"what!"

“Someone is robbing the prisoner!!”

At this time, the dozens of arrows that flew in had obviously done their job. Some pierced the swordsman, some pierced the Qin soldiers, and some fell on the captain of the patrol.

Suddenly, screams and cries continued to sound, and the scene began to become extremely chaotic. Tian Heng led dozens of people out from the crowd, and with a burst of arrows and a sudden attack, the soldiers guarding the surroundings were beaten back and dispersed directly.

In the blink of an eye, Tian Heng rushed to the execution ground.

"Brother Qi!" Tian Heng shouted loudly.

As Tian Heng shouted, a death row prisoner staggered forward excitedly and rushed towards him.

When Zhao Gao heard Tian Heng's loud shout, he immediately came to his senses.

When Tian Heng and others escaped that day, the innkeeper was out and had not returned. When he came back and found something was wrong, he had already been caught by the captain of the police, You Jiao.

Not only him, but all the servants and cooks in the inn were thrown into jail.

This inn had a secret passage, and the rebels including Tian Heng knew about it, so the innkeeper must have been involved. Even under severe torture, nothing could be said about him, but Zhao Gao still threw him into the death cell as a rebel.

Unexpectedly, the person sentenced to death by Zhao Gao happened to be with him today, and now it seems that he is in the same group with Tian Heng.

Tian Heng rushed to his cousin Tian Qi, cut the ropes on him, and immediately carried him, who was weak from the torture, on his back and walked away quickly.

At this time, the scene was in great chaos. The sound of weapons clashing could be heard everywhere, and the death row prisoners who had not yet been chopped rushed out one after another.

"Run, run to survive!"

Zhao Gao roared in his heart. He found that the ropes tied around him had loosened. He had no time to pay attention to the severe pain in his left hand and began to rush towards the people outside frantically.

Rushing into the chaotic crowd, Zhao Gao saw a citizen leading a horse to avoid the impact of the crowd. He suddenly stepped forward and kicked him in the abdomen, causing the man leading the horse to fall to the ground in pain.

Then he grabbed the horse with his right hand, turned over and rode on it, galloping away without caring about anything, scaring the people around him and making them curse and dodge.

By the time they rushed out of Liu County, Zhao Gao's face had already turned pale.

He had just discovered that his left elbow had been cut off at the root.

Apparently the executioner was startled by Tian Heng's shouting, and the sword shifted its position and cut off his left hand. Because of this, the ropes that bound him were also cut, giving him the opportunity to seize the horse and escape.

The bleeding at his elbow wouldn't stop, so he had to tear off his clothes and bandage it with his hands and teeth.

He did not dare to stop and kept galloping on his horse. He did not know how long he had been running. Finally, in a deep forest, he was exhausted. He slipped off the back of the horse, which was already sweating and almost dying of exhaustion, and fainted.

During the prison break at the execution ground, several soldiers and executioners were killed, dozens of people were injured, and two of the six surviving death row prisoners finally escaped.

Although most of these prisoner-robbers were killed or injured, the officials in Liu County were still shocked and angry, and they searched everywhere for the rebels.

And just when Liu County was in chaos!
At this time, on the edge of a barren mountain more than a mile away from Yinxian Peak, a group of no less than a hundred dusty bandits, armed with long swords and short spears, were discussing something.

"I've heard that there's an immortal in the Hidden Immortal Peak in Pei County who once killed several bandits with thunder magic. Should we not provoke him?"

"It's really a weird rumor. How about we go around him?"

"Such a famous alchemist has a lot of money, and there are not many people guarding the Hidden Immortal Peak. It might be a good idea to do some work for him!"

"Yes, those wealthy gentry and nobles either live in the county town or have large courtyards with high walls and many guards and servants. If you want to break through, you will suffer many casualties."

"Ying Bu, you are the leader of us all, what do you think?"

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but look at the burly and strong man who was leading the group.

This man was none other than Ying Bu, as they had mentioned. He was dressed in a dark suit, and although his face was tattooed, he did not look heroic.

In the original historical time and space, Ying Bu was also one of the three famous generals in the early Han Dynasty. He first followed Xiang Yu and then followed Liu Bang, and was named a king of a different surname.

After Han Xin was killed, Ying Bu was afraid that he would follow in Han Xin's footsteps, so he gathered his troops and was on guard, hoping to be reported. He had no choice but to rebel against the Han Dynasty, but was defeated and killed.

But at this time, he had just been released from his confinement in Mount Li, and was fleeing everywhere with some other criminals, acting as a bandit.
