Chapter 159 Execution (9)
Chapter 159 Execution (9)
No matter how fast the Lund family's carriage ran, it could not be faster than the war horses of Zephir and his men.
At the edge of the raging river, Zephir rode his steed to a halt in front of the wooden bridge. He coldly warned the people in the carriage not far away, "Saminos! I urge you to come out and confess your guilt!"
Saminos opened the door directly, kicked the coachman away, picked up the reins, and shouted, "Dream on, Zephyr!!!" He picked up the whip and hit the horse's butt hard.
As long as he crosses this bridge, he can survive.
The width of this bridge is just enough for one carriage to pass through. In addition, the river is rushing fast now. If so many Zephir people ride horses across, this wooden bridge will definitely not be able to withstand it.
The horse neighed and began to drag the carriage towards Zephir.
"Do it!" Zephir held up his sword, tightened the reins, and the horse under him raised its front hooves high.
The knights on both sides took out their axes and began to chop the wooden stakes and thick ropes used to secure the wooden bridge.
Inside the carriage, Helena held onto Gemino's arm tightly. She looked at him in horror, "Husband, what should we do?!"
Gemino's bloated figure couldn't withstand the violent jolting of the carriage. He gasped and spoke with difficulty, "The Rund family must not die here!" He hoped that Saminos could lead them out. It was their fault that they hadn't anticipated Freya's audacity to attack the Rund family.
Even the previous king had to give some face to the Lund family.
If they died, other descendants of the Lund family would still survive. They would continue to thrive, like weeds. Freya, don't even think about eradicating the Lund family!
Zephyr rode his horse and rushed towards the chariot driven by Saminos.
He raised his sword high, "Atone for your sins, Saminos!"
Saminos roared desperately, "Zephir!"
Saminos' eyes widened in disbelief as the horse leaped over his head.
The wooden bridge lost its fixing stakes and gradually broke apart in the turbulent river water.
Seeing that the carriage was about to rush into the turbulent river, the instinct for survival drove Saminos to jump off the carriage. He rolled on the wet ground and turned several times before being stopped by Zephir's kick.
The carriage crashed into the river and was gradually swept backwards along the current.
"Knight Commander, the Geminos are still in the carriage." A knight walked up to Zephir and said respectfully.
"Send a few people to guard downstream. Even if they die, they must bring back the bodies." Zefei gave the order with a cold face.
Saminos, who fell to the ground, wanted to get up, but his body had reached its limit.
"Zephir, I will never lose to a poor country boy like you!!!!" Saminos growled viciously.
"Let's talk about this in prison. Come, tie him up and take him back." Zephir sneered.
Afterwards, Freya issued an order that anyone in the royal city who had any connection with the Lund family would be arrested by the Royal Knights and taken to jail.
Some families wanted to give money to Freya in the hope of being exempted from punishment.
Then Freya sent him to jail to calm down for a few days.
The prison was packed with people during this period, and people took turns sleeping for a few hours before the next person took over.
Five days later, in the central square.
Saminos and others were brought to trial. They were shackled and escorted by guards to the guillotine, some of the prisoners had wet their crotches.
Saminos was the first person to be executed. He knelt on the guillotine and listened to the executioner read out several charges against him.
A lot of people had gathered near the guillotine, cursing the Lund family's greed.
Saminos' eyes were half open. He had not eaten or drunk water for a long time, and his lips were already cracked and white.
He saw Zephir and Gu Chang in the crowd, and his body began to tremble violently with anger. His mind unconsciously recalled the past.
It was on that day that Helain returned to the royal city.
Although Helain had been cursed and turned into a rabbit, he still turned back into a human and returned to the royal city.
He couldn't stand Heinlein's behavior and thought he was just a hypocritical gentleman.
Lotus also dislikes Helain because Helain's existence threatens his position.
The two hit it off and decided to start targeting Heline.
Saminos did not regret working for Lotus because Lotus had promised him that he would marry both Claire and Freya to him.
Saminos likes to conquer proud women. He thinks women should stay at home and not be arrogant.
Why should Freya be queen? She should have married Saminos!
The sharp blade hanging above Saminos' head suddenly fell, and in an instant, the head was separated.
Saminos' eyes widened, and his head rolled several times, finally facing the sun.
The crowd began to cheer.
Zephir escorted Gu Chang away from here. He lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, let me take you back to the palace first. My father is still waiting for me in the tavern."
They just happened to be passing by here, because there were too many people, and they couldn't get through. Now that the execution was over, the crowd began to disperse, and they were able to get through the crowd.
Gu Chang nodded slightly, "Okay." As long as Zefeier doesn't drive the carriage, everything will be fine.
He left the palace today just to get the earrings he had made.
The palace had been undergoing major renovations these days, and the princesses were helping Freya renovate her bedroom. As the youngest brother, he couldn't just sit there and watch. So, Anna ordered him to accompany Claire and make sure Gu Chang followed Claire's instructions.
So the next few days went like this: he chose furniture with Claire during the day, and Gu Chang had a romantic date with Cedric at night.
When the system saw it, they all praised Gu Chang for his energy.
This time when Zephir's father came to the royal city, he had no opinion about the newly appointed Queen Freya, as long as it did not affect the income of his family's farm.
This time, Ed stayed in Rod's tavern. He was busy finding out about Neve.
Michael had asked Gu Chang to ask about something before, and Gu Chang had already found a time to tell Michael the location of his sister Neve.
Ed was now gathering his men to go to Croft Castle. He had already sent a letter to the Southern Vampire Hunters Guild. However, it would take another three or four days for the carrier pigeon to deliver the letter.
The two men walked through the crowd and came to the carriage parked in front of the Sunflower Bookstore, where Andrew happened to come over.
Because the shop where he picked up the earrings was not far from the Sunflower Bookstore, Gu Changcai chose to walk there.
However, the way there happened to pass through the central square, and today was the day of the execution. So there were more people gathered there. When they went there, there weren't many people. When they came back after getting the things, there were more people.
Gu Chang took the time to take a look at the 60% plot level, thinking that this time it was indeed taking a long time.
Regarding the main mission, Gu Chang believed that it was the two mixed-race babies created by Kuilon.
Now Cedric has informed the other vampires about Quillon's betrayal and stripped the Quillon elders of their power.
He also issued a death order that once Quillon was found, he would be strangled on the spot, along with the two monsters he created.
"Your Highness, Heinlein, Knight Commander Zephir, you are back." Slaley was no longer as decadent as before. He was wearing new clothes, smoking a cigarette, and his beard was clean-shaven.
When he first met Slaley, Gu Chang didn't recognize him.
"Congratulations, Mr. Slaley, on your new book's success," Zephir said first. He hadn't expected Slaley to choose such a title. He had also read the book briefly; it was quite realistic and fascinating. There was even a single page with a sketch of Heinlein.
It is said that it was kindly provided by Princess Lilia.
"Oh, it's not worth mentioning. This is all thanks to the full support of His Highness Heinlein," Slaley laughed a few times, holding a cigarette between his fingers and said with a smile.
"The person who wrote the book is Mr. Slaley. I just gave you some advice." Gu Chang looked calm and smiled leisurely.
After the three of them exchanged a few more compliments, Slaley looked at Zephir. "Mr. Zephir, have you ever considered letting me write a book about you? I've even thought of a title: 'The Poor Boy Who Eventually Became a Glorious Knight.' What do you think?"
"Not very good, Mr. Slaley, I'm sorry, I don't want people to pay too much attention to me. Besides, before I came to the royal city, my family had a farm and we were not poor." Zephir quickly waved his hand to refuse.
"How about 'The Farm Boy Finally Becomes a Glorious Knight'?" Slaley asked persistently.
Gu Chang patted Slaley on the shoulder and said, "Instead of writing other people's stories, why don't you write your own story, Mr. Slaley?"
Zephir gave Gu Chang a grateful look.
Slaley was stunned, then smiled sheepishly, "I wrote it, but not many people read it."
"Then you can release the second part. With your current fame, people will watch it." Gu Chang's voice was steady and his tone was flat.
Slaley began to think that if he wanted to write a second part, he had to start as soon as possible.
Slaley hurriedly said goodbye to Gu Chang and Zephir. He was now full of inspiration and he had to take a pen to write it down.
"Your Highness, I..." Zefei was about to sit in the coachman's seat when he was stopped by Gu Chang.
"Andrew is sending me back this time. Aren't you going to find your father? Go quickly." Gu Chang said with a smile. He would never ride in Zephiel's carriage for the second time, never.
Zephir laughed awkwardly twice. It seemed that he had scared Gu Chang last time.
That night.
Gu Changhui was in his bedroom. He had just finished taking a shower and still had a faint fragrance on his body.
He was wearing a loose nightgown and could see at a glance that there was a big bulge in the quilt on the bed.
Gu Chang smiled slightly, lowered his footsteps, and walked to the bed. Then he suddenly lifted the thin blanket and saw Cedric lying on the bed on his side. His hair was messy and his collar was open, revealing his strong chest and the faint presence of his eight-pack abs.
"Oh, you're trying to seduce me." Gu Chang looked at the ring on Cedric's left hand. It was inlaid with a blood-red ruby as big as a pigeon egg. He had carefully selected it. It was not only large but also dazzling.
Cedric patted the empty space in his arms and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come on."
Anna had known for a long time that they lived in the same room. She specifically asked the maids not to go near Gu Chang's room at night because she didn't want anyone to disturb them.
Gu Chang quickly got into Cedric's cold arms. He raised his hand to touch Cedric's hard chest muscles, then looked up at Cedric's chin and said, "Relax."
As soon as he said that, Cedric stopped trying.
Gu Chang pinched the elastic pectoral muscles and smiled with satisfaction.
Cedric's hands began to become restless. He moved up along the line of the thigh and then to Gu Chang's smooth back.
"Stop messing around." Gu Chang said softly with his cheeks slightly red.
"No, we haven't been intimate for a long time." Cedric turned over and pressed the person in his arms, his gentle eyes filled with Gu Chang's blushing face.
The system wisely blocked Gu Chang. It knew what was going to happen as soon as it saw the two of them being so affectionate.
Their lips pressed together in a passionate French kiss.
"I can't describe anything below the neck, please imagine 0v0."
