Chapter 25: The Roar of the Cavalrymen!

  "I heard that Tong Yufeng is actually in favor of punishing you." Zhou Xing said with some worry.

  Su Dong didn't mind Zhou Xing's words, but instead stared at his face again. Sure enough, there was a thick and ominous black aura between his eyebrows, looking very menacing.

  "I'm talking to you, why are you staring at me?" Zhou Xing asked in confusion.

  Su Dong said seriously: "Zhou Jiao Tou, I'll go to the martial arts hall myself, you'd better hurry back home if nothing's wrong."

  Zhou Xing was taken aback and asked: "What do you mean?"

  "Never mind what I mean, just go home if you're told to go home!"

  Su Dong's voice was a bit loud, which made Zhou Xing's face look strange.

  Humans are actually a very fragile creature, Zhou Xing was originally in a good mood, but after being said by Su Dong in such an inexplicable way, he felt that something was wrong with his whole body and his heart felt empty.

  "Alright, but don't scare people like that again, it feels weird." Zhou Xing muttered.

  Two people went out the door, Su Dong to the martial arts hall and Zhou Xing back home. As they passed by the Xuanwu Avenue, they saw a sea of people gathered in an empty square, where a scaffold had been set up. A thin man was pinned to the ground, his left arm wrapped thickly with bandages.

  "What's going on?" Su Dong asked, puzzled, as he hadn't gone out for a while and was unclear about the situation.

  "This is the cavalryman who spread the false signal. Castle owner Tong Yufeng has decided to behead him as a warning to others."

  Su Dong nodded slightly, due to the false report, a great chaos occurred in Hansheng City, from civilians to the city defense department and even the Tiangxing Martial Arts Hall, hundreds of people were killed or injured. The person who spread the false signal took responsibility, which was also normal.

  At this time, only the executioner wearing armor and the bare-armed beheader walked up together.

  The execution officer, with a big belly, cleared his throat and shouted to the surrounding crowd: "This man is Sun Dajun, a cavalryman of the City Defense Command! Five nights ago, it was he who misdelivered the order, causing chaos throughout Hanshing City! The entire city suffered countless deaths and injuries!"

  "The lord of the castle has already reported this matter to the imperial capital, and the whole country is outraged! Military orders are like mountains, and those who err will be punished! Therefore, at noon today, Sun Dàyǒng will be executed on the spot! To mourn for those innocent people who died!"

  As he walked up to the dull-eyed cavalryman Sun Dajun, the executioner asked: "Sun Dajun! You are about to die, do you have anything to say?"

  "I did not misreport..."

  "What?! Speak louder!" Sun Dajun lowered his head and spoke in a low voice, but the execution officer didn't hear clearly, so he asked again.

  "I didn't lie! The blue-eyed devil has arrived riding a double-headed wolf! The entire continent will be plunged into endless darkness!" Sun Dajun suddenly raised his head, his eyes almost bursting out of their sockets, and with the last bit of strength in his life, he frantically shouted.

  "Execute him! Execute him! He's about to die and still doesn't know repentance! Cut off his head!" The execution officer said with a sigh.

  On the other side, the executioner raised his steel knife, while Sun Dajun burst out laughing in a hoarse and eerie voice: "Brothers! I, Sun Dajun, have come to find you!"

  "With an unrelenting hatred in his eyes, Sun Dajun coldly swept his gaze over the crowd of civilians and burst out laughing: 'Fools! All of you are fools! Our mounted archers love to kill people, drink wine, visit prostitutes, do all sorts of evil things! But we will never make false reports! This is our dignity!'"

  Pfft!

  Before Sun Dayout finished speaking, the executioner chopped down with one knife, directly chopping off Sun Dayout's head and sending it flying, blood splattering everywhere!

  No cheers.

  No celebration.

  Sun Dajun's crazy words before his death made the onlookers' emotions fluctuate, and although no trace of Xue Mo was found, Sun Dajun refused to admit his mistake until his death! Why is this? Who should be believed?

  Unintentionally witnessing this scene, both Su Dong and Zhou Xing felt very uncomfortable, their mood extremely depressed.

  ……

  Zhou Xing walked home with his head down, first Su Dong said a lot of inexplicable things, and then he watched an execution ceremony that made people very uncomfortable, which depressed Zhou Xing's mood.

  The most spacious mansion in the depths of the alley is the Zhou family, Zhou Xing has always been low-key, and few people know that the Zhou family is actually one of the top two wealthy families in Hansheng City.

  As soon as he entered the door, a maid helped Zhou Xing change his clothes and wash his face with hot water. Zhou Xing accepted it calmly, and his demeanor was completely different from when he was in the martial arts hall.

  "The old master is playing with young master in the backyard." The maid helped Zhou Xing change his clothes and said softly.

  "Oh."

  Zhou Xing walked into the backyard with his head down, as the young master of Zhou Shanghang in Hansheng City, he didn't learn business but instead liked to practice martial arts, which caused him to quarrel with the old man at home and was once a hot topic on the streets and alleys of the whole city.

  However, as Zhou Xing really became a Lingzhan strongman and even married and had children, Old Man Zhou finally swallowed his pride and brought Zhou Xing's family back home to live.

  Such a large family business must have someone to inherit, Zhou Xing is a block of wood, Old Master Zhou had given up on him long ago, now he has pinned all his hopes on his own grandson, planning to let Zhou Xing's son inherit the family property in the future.

  Zhou Xing was walking with his head down when he felt a gust of wind on top of his head and something fell down.

  A martial artist's eyes and hands are quick, Zhou Xing stretched out his hand and caught the black thing on his head. He lowered his head to take a look and it turned out to be his own son! The little guy had a mouth, but was now scared stupid!

  "Old Master!"

  Wow!

  The maids in the backyard knelt on the ground, one by one, their faces pale with fright!

  Old man Zhou spoiled his grandson, when spring arrived, there were birds in the trees, and the little grandson wanted to dig out a bird's nest. Old man Zhou was so excited that he taught his own grandson to climb trees. Who would have thought that this kid inherited Zhou Xing's good physique? He climbed up to the top of the tree in one go, but slipped and fell directly down.

  A group of people were all frightened out of their wits, just then Zhou Xing happened to return home in time and caught his son.

  Wow!

  The child was young after all, and after coming back to his senses, he let out a loud wail. Old Man Zhou hurried over, crying even harder than his own grandson.

  "Su Dong told me to hurry back home..." Zhou Xing stood still in his original position, muttering to himself repeatedly.

  "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let Little Yu climb the tree!" Old Master Zhou wailed, his nose and eyes streaming with tears, while the maids secretly wiped away their own tears.

  Zhou Xing hurriedly comforted his son and father, and then severely scolded the maidservants at home, but his mind was filled with Su Dong's strange expression and the repeated advice to go back home.

  Looking back, it seems that Su Dong had guessed that something would happen at Zhou Xing's home, which is also unbelievable!

  Zhou Xing's wife coaxed the child back to rest in the house, while Zhou Xing and Old Man Zhou went to the study. Zhou Xing sat on a chair, lost in thought, while Old Man Zhou repeatedly scolded himself for being so careless.

  "I should thank him." Zhou Xing muttered to himself.

  "Who should I thank?" Old Man Zhou asked, not understanding what was going on.

  Zhou Xing then told his father about what happened at the Su's house today, and Old Master Zhou was so excited that his whole body trembled.

  "I said, why did you come home at noon today? It turns out that someone gave you a hint!" Old man Zhou couldn't sit still and stood up loudly saying: "Someone! Prepare the sedan chair! Prepare generous gifts! I want to personally go to the Su's house, kowtow and thank them!"

  Mr. Zhou doted on his grandson, and Su Dong saved his grandson's life, which was equivalent to saving the entire Zhou family, making the old man very grateful.

  Zhou Xing waved his hand and stopped his excited father, saying: "Su Dong is not that simple."

  Then Zhou Xing started from Su Dong's fourteen years of coma on the bed, saying that there was spiritual power in Su's family. Su Dong entered the Wu Guan for a month and rose two ranks. He also talked about Su Dong's usual different style, telling the whole story once.

  Old Zhou also felt that Su Dong was incredibly mysterious after hearing this, and said: "Then what should we do? This is a life-saving favor, can't just let it go like this?"

  Xu Xingdao said: "Thanks is a must, and it's gotta be sincere, but Su Dongping is a low-key person, if we go there with such fanfare, I'm afraid he might not be pleased."

  "Now Su Dong is in trouble, the city master Tóng Yùfēng listened to his younger brother-in-law's temptation, wanting to make things difficult for Su Dong. I'll go take a look at the situation and see if there's anything our Zhou family can do to help."

  Old Mr. Zhou nodded repeatedly and said: "Go quickly, go quickly, take as much money as you need from the cabinet, no matter how much it costs."

  ……

  Su Dong has a calm temperament. When killing, Su Dong is an unadulterated devil, but in daily life, he is a refined and elegant young man.

  At this moment, Su Dong seemed like nothing had happened and entered the Tianxing Martial Arts Hall.

  It's probably because the news of Su Dong being punished has spread, and everyone is avoiding him like a plague. Even those who have known him for a long time are not very enthusiastic, and just nod casually at him as if they've greeted each other.

  Su Dong disagreed, and followed a martial arts instructor into the backyard living room, where he saw that there were still many people, including the owner of the Yang Taosi Martial Arts Academy, as well as Hanxing City Lord Tong Yufeng, and his younger brother-in-law Gu Chengdong.

  The atmosphere was oppressive, making Su Dong think of a word: trial...
