Chapter 127 Swords flashed, heads fell
Cui Heng's messenger?
The huge county governor's office was suddenly filled with a strange atmosphere.
The gods, angels, governors, and family heads looked at each other, and saw the doubts in each other's eyes.
Now that the war is imminent, the world is watching, and it is impossible to stop the war.
What's the point of sending an envoy at this time? Is he begging for a complete body?
"What do you think we should do with this messenger?" Xie Tianxing spoke first, looking at everyone.
He is the upper world angel of the Xie family in Pingshan.
Since the Xie family's influence in the upper world is the strongest among those present, his right to speak is naturally the most important.
It can be said that he is the nominal boss.
Of course, he only has this right to speak when handling affairs.
When it comes to distributing the benefits, they still have to argue with each other.
"Just kill him!"
Yanzhou Mu Tao Zheng said succinctly.
He was a retainer secretly cultivated by the Wang family of Langya. He stayed behind according to Wang Donglin's words and let him stir up trouble.
"I think he should be killed too!"
This time, the speaker was the upper realm angel of the Jiangnan Ye family, named Ye Hui, a master of the divine realm who opened eight divine treasures and the strongest in the alliance against Cui.
The previous action to squeeze Wang Donglin out was organized by him.
"Although it is said that the two armies do not kill the messengers in battle, that is to give them room for maneuver." Ye Hui said in a deep voice, "There is no possibility of easing the tension between us and Cui Heng, so let's just kill him directly."
"I don't agree."
Shen Yu spoke up, he stood up and was about to say something.
But seeing that the eyes of many gods, governors, and family heads were focused on him, Shen Yu immediately shrank his neck again, "What I mean is, even if you want to kill him, you have to listen to what he wants to say first, and after listening, it won't be too late to kill him."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
"Yes, that's true."
"Listen to what he has to say first, and then it won't be too late to kill him."
"What if there is some important news?"
...
...
After a more radical opinion, a slightly more compromising opinion is often more likely to be recognized by most people.
This is a very common thing.
Xie Tianxing and Ye Hui looked at each other, and after a little thought, they seemed to reach a consensus with their eyes, and both nodded.
"Then let the envoy come in first."
"You can listen to what the envoy has to say first."
...
Liu Litao was still outside the city of Changxing County at this time.
A full thirty soldiers in armor and weapons surrounded him, with a shining long knife on his neck.
It seemed that if he dared to act rashly, he would be killed on the spot.
"Do you know what you are doing?" Liu Litao's face was ashen, and he stared at the soldiers with cold eyes, and shouted, "I am the special envoy of the governor of Fengzhou, how dare you be so rude!"
The soldiers were a little confused when they heard his roar.
It was the first time they saw such a fearless envoy from the disadvantaged side.
He had an army of two million and many immortal figures with incredible power. It would be easy to sweep across the entire Fengzhou. Then Cui Heng, the governor of Fengzhou, would definitely die.
This is of course the disadvantaged side, and he is the absolute advantaged side.
But in such a situation, how dare this envoy of the governor of Fengzhou be so arrogant.
Is he really not afraid of death?
Is Liu Litao afraid of death?
Of course he is afraid of death!
That's why he wanted to give up the position of Lu County Governor at first.
However, he was not afraid when facing the situation that he could not die.
Cui Heng promised him that he would protect his life.
Then there would be no danger.
He could let himself go.
Moreover, his mission here was to read out the death list.
In Liu Litao's view, the group of rebels in Changxing County City were all doomed to die.
There was no need to be polite to a group of dead people.
"Who is Cui Fengzhou's messenger?" At this time, the voice of the messenger came from the city gate, "Two angels allow Messenger Liu to enter the city."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers put down their swords and made way.
"That's right." Liu Litao straightened his clothes and was about to move forward, but suddenly stopped, frowned at the messenger and said, "Why is there only one messenger?
" "I am the envoy of the governor of the state, and there is no ceremony to welcome me? Is this an alliance of prominent families, or an alliance of a group of uncivilized savages?
"If you don't follow the etiquette to welcome me, I won't enter the city!"
Since ancient times, the attitude of the envoy has been the face of the chief officer.
The stronger the envoy, the more confident the chief officer behind him.
If the envoy is submissive, it means that the chief officer behind him is not confident.
Liu Litao's purpose is very clear.
As an envoy, he must show the majesty of the chief officer.
The messenger was stunned.
The soldiers around were also dumbfounded.
Is this envoy really not looking for death?
But they didn't have the courage to really kill Liu Litao, so the messenger had to go back and report.
In the county governor's office,
everyone felt uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly after hearing what Liu Litao said.
However, some people were also suspicious.
Could it be that Cui Heng had gained some support? But what kind of support could make him not afraid of two million troops and a dozen gods?
"This guy is too arrogant. He should be killed alive, Ling Chi!" Tao Zheng jumped out again.
"No." Shen Yu hurriedly advised him not to do so. He didn't want to make a fuss to the point of death.
"It's really inappropriate." Xie Tianxing thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Since he wants etiquette, just do as he says, get ready and welcome him."
"I have no objection." Ye Hui also nodded.
Although they also hated Liu Litao to the extreme, they had just issued an order to receive the envoy. If they regretted it now, how could they obey the public?
It might even affect the final distribution of benefits.
Isn't it just a little etiquette?
It won't hurt.
...
Just like that, amid the stunned expressions of the soldiers guarding the city and the messengers.
Liu Litao swaggered into the city of Changxing County.
He was walking on a bright red carpet, with beautiful young women standing on both sides bowing to him.
There was also the sound of music coming from behind.
A high platform had been built in front of the county governor's office.
The twenty-seven leaders of the anti-Cui alliance were all on it, looking at Liu Litao who was walking slowly, with different expressions.
Xie Tianxing and Ye Hui were both angels from the upper realm, and they didn't know much about the etiquette of the human world, so they didn't feel anything about it.
But the governors of the states all looked ugly.
How the hell did this look like receiving an envoy from an enemy?
It was completely like welcoming an envoy from the Celestial Empire!
It was too outrageous!
How ridiculous!
"Are you the envoy of Cui Fengzhou?" Xie Tianxing stood on the platform, looking down.
"Yes, I am." Liu Litao nodded, but did not stop, and continued to walk forward, intending to climb the platform.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
The guards under the platform immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"What do you mean?" Liu Litao's face was full of doubt, and he frowned and said, "I am the envoy of Fengzhou. I am here as if I were the envoy in person. Why are you standing on the high platform, but I am at the bottom? This is the rude behavior of uncivilized barbarians." Uncivilized
barbarians...
Xie Tianxing was so angry that he almost wanted to kill him on the spot, but now he was in a dilemma and could only wave his hand and said, "Let him come up!"
"Oh, that's right." Liu Litao nodded, and then he swaggered up to the platform, stood in front of the rebel leaders, slowly took out a piece of paper, and said with a smile, "Everyone, listen carefully, this is what the envoy wants to tell you."
His attitude was still very arrogant, as if he didn't take the 27 people on the platform seriously at all.
At this time, the group of people were full of anger, staring at Liu Litao with cold eyes, intending to kill him alive after he finished speaking.
Otherwise, it would not be enough to vent their anger.
"Xie Tianxing, the angel of the upper realm of the Xie family in Pingshan, Ye Hui, the angel of the upper realm of the Ye family in Jiangnan... Bai Songnian, the angel of the upper realm of the Bai family in Quzhou, Qin Kang, the governor of Yuzhou... Tao Zheng, the governor of Yanzhou, Shen Yu, the governor of Youzhou!"
Liu Litao read out the names of the 27 leaders of the alliance against Cui like a dish. Just when these people were confused, he heard him read out,
"The above 27 people mobilized the army, gathered cliques, and wanted to harm the people of Fengzhou. Their crimes are heinous. From today on, I will select three people every day and take off all your heads in nine days!"
After saying that, he put the paper back into his sleeve and laughed loudly: "This is the message from the envoy to you. Farewell!"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Litao had already walked down from the high platform.
His footsteps were very fast.
No one stopped him at all, because everyone was stunned, almost thinking that they had just hallucinated.
How much courage does it take to face an army of two million, and seventeen gods to provoke like this? !
Liu Litao hurriedly wanted to go outside, and felt his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't help but look back at the stunned people, and his heart was extremely excited.
This feeling was too fucking exciting.
"Catch him! Don't let this guy run away!"
But at this moment, Xie Tianxing finally reacted to what was going on, and roared and ordered, "Catch him for me, hang him on the city gate tower, cut him into pieces, and execute him slowly!"
He felt that he was being fooled.
I am an angel from the upper realm, one of the nominal leaders of the alliance against Cui, but I was fooled by a guy who was not even a congenital in public!
How hateful!
The densely packed soldiers quickly surrounded Liu Litao, and the shining swords and guns were once again placed on his neck.
But he was still fearless and sneered: "Do you not believe my words, or do you not believe the words of the envoy? Accept the reality, from today on, three of you will have your heads taken away every day!"
"Nonsense!" Xie Tianxing was furious and shouted, "Drag them away!"
Clang!
At this moment, a sword sound suddenly came from the sky, like a lightning that broke through the sky and came to the sky above the Changxing County City.
Three bamboo sticks fell from the sky.
They landed on the high platform.
"Hahaha, the Envoy's Sword has arrived!" Liu Litao laughed up to the sky, "Why don't you take a quick look, which three are so lucky?"
"Shut his mouth!" Xie Tianxing ordered the soldiers, but he was suddenly frightened and picked up the bamboo slips on the ground. He looked at the words on them and whispered, "Xie Tianxing, Ye Hui, Bai Songnian... and me?!"
This made his heart jump.
Then, the angel from the upper world suddenly felt a coolness on his neck.
A dizzy feeling came.
The next moment, he saw that his body had no head, and blood gushed out of his neck like a fountain.
He also saw that a sword light, like a clever long snake, circled around the necks of Ye Hui and Bai Songnian in the blink of an eye.
The heads of both men fell to the ground!
"What that guy said just now, is actually true?!"
This was Xie Tianxing's last thought, and then there was endless darkness.
At the same time, the expressions on the faces of everyone present froze. They
only felt their hands and feet were cold, and there was a piercing cold air rising from the soles of their feet and reaching the top of their heads.
Unprecedented fear filled their hearts.
At this moment, whether it was the gods in the human world, the angels in the upper world, the heads of prominent families, or the governors of various states, their faces were pale.
Really!
It's actually true!!
