The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 1
Crossroads, at dawn.

It was the most peaceful time of the day, but on this day, the tranquility of the entire city was broken by a huge team extending from the northwest corner of the imperial city.

Dozens of prison cars were escorted by tens of thousands of royal guards and slowly rolled out from the East Palace.

The ten-mile long street was crowded with people, and the people along the road were crowded with onlookers.

The imperial guards guarded tightly, separating passers-by on both sides and not allowing them to approach the prison car.

In the chilling and heavy atmosphere, some people began to whisper.

"What's going on here? Such a big battle, where did so many death row prisoners come from?"

"What death row prisoner? Didn't you see who was sitting in the first prison car ahead? Let me tell you, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"How is this possible? I went to sell vegetables in Beishi yesterday afternoon, and I saw His Royal Highness and King Kang's car driving back to the mansion from a distance. I heard that Princess Xunyang won another battle at the border. Many rewards have been given!"

"Hey, you're really right. The matter still lies with King Kang."

"how?"

"I heard that King Kangjun was not born to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the son of that—what—the eldest princess! I can't remember the name, anyway, that's what happened! Don't even think about it. What kind of crime is it? Harvesting the remnants of the previous dynasty! This is treason! No matter who falls on it, it is a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the whole family! Have you seen the battle of the prison cars? There are 360 ​​people in the entire East Palace, even All those responsible for pouring slops by the back door are folded here. The notices on the front street have all come out, and all of them will be cut off, leaving no one behind!"

"His Royal Highness is the emperor's own son. People say that a tiger's poison does not eat its son—"

"Hush! You want to die, dare to talk about the emperor behind your back? How many heads do you have?"

"Oh! But no matter how you think about it, it feels mysterious. Could it be a mistake? His Royal Highness is the prince of our dynasty, and he will also be the emperor in the future. How could he help some princess from the previous dynasty to raise her?" Son? This—this is unreasonable!"

"Then who knows! Anyway, the news is true. Look at the leader at the front, did you see that? That—the one in the red official uniform. That's the emperor's grandson! The emperor's grandson personally went to the emperor to sue Secret. Who is the eldest grandson of the emperor? That is the son of His Highness the crown prince. This matter is probably true. It is also said that the emperor thought of his meritorious service in reporting, so the entire East Palace reluctantly left such a bloodline. Isn’t that true? , as a show of loyalty, today he and Master Yanling from the Ministry of Punishment will supervise and execute him."

"The son sues the father, and the father kills the son. This royal matter is really—"

"Hush! Stop talking, the spies from the palace are here."

The crowd was bustling, following from the intersection all the way to the execution platform at the end of the cross street, the crowd of onlookers surrounded the entire execution ground.

At the beginning of Maoshi, the eldest son of the emperor, Chu Qihui, who was one of the supervisors, read out the emperor's decree——

The prince was ordered to be executed for harboring the remnants of the previous dynasty with the intention of rebelling against him, and was asked to be executed at noon.

Everyone in the East Palace was convicted of not reporting what they knew.

But because there are too many people involved in the case, the execution will begin immediately.

The crown prince Chu Yi'an, whose hair was disheveled and in a mess, was dragged onto the execution platform and waited for noon.

The others were dragged from the prison van in batches, in groups of eight, and beheaded for public display.

The executioner's sword fell every half an hour, blood spattered, and wreckage covered the ground.

The atmosphere in the crowd also subconsciously quieted down from the original agitation, everyone held their breath, every time the executioner's blade fell, it would make countless people tremble with fear.

Group after group of death row prisoners were brought up, and then dragged down as decapitated corpses.

From dawn to noon, the whole street was filled with a strong smell of blood. In the peaceful and prosperous imperial capital, it was like a dead city, with a strange and gloomy atmosphere slowly spreading under the bright sun.

Seeing the heads of the people in the Eastern Palace roll off, Chu Qihui was sitting on pins and needles, with a worried expression.

It was cold and windy in late October and autumn, and he was sweating all over.

"Lord Yanling, it's almost noon now, can you let me go ahead?" Seeing the last batch of death row prisoners being brought to the execution platform, Chu Qihui finally said with a sour voice, "The rebellious party—it's my father after all, we -"

The reason why the emperor sent him to supervise the execution was to make him show his sincerity. He didn't dare not to come, but when he thought that he had betrayed his father and brother, he still felt guilty, especially——

And that half-sister, Chu Xunyang, had never been arrested. Thinking of this, the hairs on his body almost stood on end.

Sitting next to him behind another table, Lord Yanling was holding a teacup leisurely, his elegance didn't seem to be diluted by the smell of blood at all, at this moment he squinted his eyes and looked up at the scorching sun , the corners of his lips slightly raised into a beautiful arc, and he murmured, "It's almost time, Your Highness, please go ahead!"

"Okay! Okay!" Chu Qihui let out a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly bowed his hands to say goodbye to him, then left aside the only remaining prisoner on the execution platform, the prince Chu Yi'an, and walked down quickly to lead the horse.

"My lord, it's noon!" A secretary of the Ministry of Punishment stepped forward and reminded Lord Yanling in a low voice, "It's time to execute the criminal."

"Hmm!" Lord Yanling responded lightly, without any extra expression, still drinking tea with downcast eyes.

Nasi Zuo Deling, took the chip and cleared his voice, just about to raise his hand and throw it down——

At this moment, the situation suddenly changed, and there was a sudden clear and urgent sound of horseshoes behind the crowded crowd in front.

At that time, the whole street was like a hell on earth, and there was no sound of people at all, but this light riding horse's hoof hurriedly stepped on the apex of everyone's heart very clearly.

The crowd of onlookers unknowingly backed away to the two sides, and followed the prestige, but it was a vigorous black horse coming at a fast speed.

A young woman in a soft armored battle robe on horseback, her hair simply tied into a ponytail is blown by wind and dust all the way, her brows are cold and evil, but her face is pretty and enchanting, like the red of snow blooming on the cliffs of Xuefeng. Mei, returning to the wind and dancing in the snow to show her beauty, was so caught off guard that she jumped into her sight.

With a glimpse, it amazed the eyes of countless people.

And when the guards around the martial law execution ground reacted, she flew up one by one, and directly jumped over the outermost human wall and broke in.

"Xun-Xunyang?" Chu Qihui, who was halfway up the horse, was the first to react, slipped and fell down, with cold sweat on his face and a horrified expression.

Chu Xunyang rode into the execution ground, glanced sharply and at the same time accurately captured his location, and jumped up with his legs between the horse's belly.

She has a strong hand and a neat figure. The bright spear she had been holding in her right hand at the moment she soared into the air reflected a cold and sharp edge under the scorching sun. It has been safely delivered to Chu Qihui.
