Except for the prison officer Dingxing, the kings of several other countries came to the execution ground.
There were several seats on both sides of the prison officer's seat.
These kings were sitting here eating melon and fruit snacks and drinking wine.
While chatting.
Ji Lan, the commander of the Shanshan Army, smiled at Dingxing and said, "King Mumi, you took away the queen of Anguo.
How did she serve you last night?"
The other kings all laughed and looked at Dingxing with interest to see how he would answer.
Dingxing smiled and said: "It feels good, it feels very good.
I have never felt so good in my life.
But you, General Lan, chose the most beautiful princess in Anguo.
How do you feel about it?"
Ji Lan thought for a while and shook his head: "I can't tell.
I asked her to come over and pour wine for you all so that you can experience it up close.
Go and call Ulan to pour wine for all the monarchs."
After a while, the most beautiful princess who was chosen by Ji Lan last night came over.
She walked up and bowed to the kings of various countries, and then poured wine for these kings one by one at Ji Lan's request.
Her posture and Her beauty made several male monarchs drool at her sight.
Ji Lan was very proud, but he knew that he could not let this woman stay here for too long, lest these monarchs show any ugly behavior, so he let her go down immediately.
At this time, the execution time had arrived.
As Liu Cheng's representative, Zhang Xiu, a man with a golden sword, sat beside him, looked at the sun and said to Dingxing: "King Mumi, the time has come, we can start."
Dingxing immediately said: "Okay, let's get started.
Come and verify your identity."
After some inspection, it was confirmed that these people were themselves and not pretended by others.
Dingxing ordered: "Behead" Pieces of sword light flashed, and more than a dozen heads rolled to the ground.
Blood sprayed everywhere.
The people in Khotan screamed, and many people looked ashen.
Yesterday, Khotan was one of the most powerful countries in the Western Region, but unexpectedly everything changed overnight.
King Yuchi Anguo fled abroad, leaving his ministers and people behind.
Why did so many people of Khotan happen?
This question popped up in our minds.
Dingxing was very excited.
The hatred between Khotan and Mumi was too deep.
His Mumi country originally had tens of thousands of subjects, but due to defeat, the Khotan army killed only more than a thousand people.
Even hatred as deep as the sea is not enough to describe the hatred in his heart.
I saw him stand up from his shady position as a prison officer and walk to the execution ground.
He came to the corpses of the royal family members, ministers and military generals of Khotan.
He couldn't help but laugh, hahaha.
He smiled so miserably, but in the end he said viciously: "You deserve to die today."
The kings of various countries suddenly discovered that something was wrong with the situation in Dingxing.
They saw that he seemed to be in pain, his face was flushed, and smoke began to appear on the top of his head, and then his body seemed to be smoking as well.
In the blink of an eye, Dingxing screamed miserably.
People saw that his face was ferocious and smoke was coming out from all over his body.
Suddenly, with a "boom", Dingxing's whole body turned into a ball of faint blue flames.
"ah" Dingxing turned into blue flames and ran around on the execution platform, swaying as if he was drunk.
He kept screaming.

Everyone on the stage and off the stage were stunned by this situation, and the executioners were frightened.
They stepped aside one after another, and the people in the audience also changed their colors due to this situation.
Zhang Xiu's face also changed greatly.
He had never seen such a fantasy thing before.
He immediately pointed at the two soldiers and shouted: "Bring water to put out the fire quickly, quickly, quickly!"
A soldier immediately picked up a bucket of water next to him and poured it on Dingxing, who was on fire.
However, there was no reaction when the bucket of water was poured on Dingxing.
The blue flames were still burning and were not affected at all.
At this time, Dingxing, whose whole body was covered with flames, screamed and fell on the execution platform with a final scream.
His body was still surrounded by blue flames.
Gradually, his whole body was quickly burned into a pile of white ash, including bones and dregs.
Nothing is left.
Seeing this horrific situation, everyone seemed to be frightened, and the scene was completely silent.
Zhang Xiu was the first to react and shouted: "Protect the scene.
No one is allowed to leave.
Anyone who leaves without permission will be killed if found."
The army began to move, and the soldiers standing guard outside gathered around and surrounded the nearly ten thousand people at the scene.
Liu Cheng, who was checking the inventory in the Khotan treasury, rushed to the scene immediately after hearing the report.
The Guards opened a path in front and separated the crowded crowd into a passage.
He held the handle of the knife and walked through the passage to the execution platform.
The kings came over from the shade one after another and saluted Liu Cheng: "I have seen the general."
Liu Cheng nodded and looked at Zhang Xiu: "What's going on?"
Zhang Xiu immediately told what happened in detail from the beginning.
After Liu Cheng listened, he walked to the pile of white ashes left after Dingxing was burned to death and squatted down.
The pile of white ash was in the shape of a human.
Liu Cheng observed it, took out a knife from his waist, poked a little bit of white ash on the ground, put it under his nostrils and smelled it.
He smelled a strange smell.
Liu Cheng thought for a while and said to Zhang Xiu: "Zhang Xiu, send someone to find some animal bones.
We want dry and long-lasting bones."
"Nuo" Zhang Xiu agreed with his fists clasped, and immediately sent people to look for him.
After a while, a soldier came over with several mutton leg bones that were almost rotting.
Liu Cheng ordered: "Use a hammer to smash these bones into powder."
The soldier obeyed the order and came with a hammer to smash several bones, then grind them into powder and put them into a pile.
Liu Cheng looked up at the sun and stretched out his hand: "Huo Zhezi" A soldier immediately took out the fire seal and handed it to Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng took it, opened the fire seal, blew on it, and then put the fire seal close to the pile of powdered bones.
As soon as they made contact, there was a sudden "boom", and the entire pile of skeletal powder burned instantly.
The faint blue flame was almost exactly the same as the flame that burned Dingxing's body before.
What is going on?
Everyone has deep doubts on their faces.
This small pile of bones and bone powder quickly burned out, the flames went out, and the bone powder turned black.
Liu Cheng once again used a knife to pick up some of the burned bone powder and put it under his nose and smelled it.
The smell after burning was the same as the smell of Dingxing's ashes before.
Liu Cheng put the knife back into its sheath, stood up and faced the tens of thousands of Khotanese people in the audience.
He scanned people's faces and slowly said: "Everyone in Khotan, I am a big man.
The troops are not here to be disadvantageous to you, not to harm you.

We are here to maintain the stability of the countries in the Western Regions and the safety of several trade routes from Chang'an to the Western Regions.
You should understand very well that relying solely on the Western Regions The land output will not allow you to live a better life.
Only by making the trade roads smooth and stable can the trade exchanges be more prosperous, and the countries and people on these trade roads can reap the benefits of prosperous trade.
Your life will get better and better if you reap huge benefits.
But there are people who have been destroying the security on the Silk Road for their own selfish interests and have been attacking neighboring countries, and Khotan is one of them."
"The national policy of Khotan was made by the king.
The mistakes made by Yuchi Anguo can only be borne by him and his family.
They have nothing to do with the ordinary people of Khotan.
This general and the Han Dynasty will not treat such mistakes The fault has been placed on you, so from yesterday to now, I, the general, have been restraining the soldiers from committing any crime against the people of Khotan."
"These people were killed because they deserved their crimes.
If it were not for their rights and interests, they would not have caused harm to other surrounding countries, so they must be punished.
If you think they did the right thing and should not be treated like this, then Aren’t the people of other countries who were killed by your Khotanian army innocent?
Should they die?
There must be someone in this world to uphold justice.
The Han Dynasty is the suzerain of the countries in the Western Regions and has a responsibility in this kind of matter. and the obligation to make a just decision.”
"Just now, Dingxing, the beheading official, was the king of the Khotan Kingdom.
I believe you are all familiar with him.
He had just ordered to behead the royal family members, ministers, officials and military generals of the Khotan Kingdom, and then his whole body was inexplicably on fire.
There is a pile of ashes left.
This general will never consider this a punishment from God.
If there is to be punishment, Yuchi Anguo should be punished first."
"After the test just now, I have reason to believe that the death of King Mumi Dingxing was due to murder.
I will find out who murdered him, but I want to tell you here, don't try to fight against Master Wang. , Master Wang is doing righteous things.
If you fight against Master Wang, you are protecting and sheltering Yuchi Anguo.
You are protecting evil, and you are going against the entire Western Region and the Han Dynasty.
In this way, the Khotan Kingdom is not far from destruction. " After Liu Cheng finished speaking, he shouted: "Zhang Xiu, order the troops to withdraw and let the people go back."
"Yes."
Zhang Xiu agreed with clasped fists, turned around and waved to the soldiers outside the execution ground.
The soldiers quickly lifted the siege and retreated to the side.
The Khotan people turned around and left in groups.
After the people all left, Liu Cheng turned around and looked at the kings and asked: "My lords, King Mumi died inexplicably.
Don't you have anything to say?"
King Qule asked: "General, you can't be one of us who did it?
We have no enmity with King Mumi, why do we want to harm him?
If someone really wants to harm him, I think it must be a Khotanese."
Liu Cheng's sharp gaze swept across the faces of these monarchs, "It's best that this matter has nothing to do with you.
Murder is committed under the nose of this general.
I will never sit idly by and ignore it.
If I let this general discover this, This thing was done by one of you, and I, the general, will make him pay a heavy price."
Everyone hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare" "Okay, everyone, please follow me to the palace and let's discuss how to investigate this case."
The kings looked at each other and followed Liu Cheng to the palace
