243 Meet
On top of the wall, Xiao Hua stood on the wall and looked coldly at the bottom of the city wall. //. Welcome to 78 Reading //()
Under Nishinomiya Castle, thousands of people dressed as civilians had their arms tied behind their backs and were surrounded by tens of thousands of officers and soldiers holding steel swords.
The cold light of the blade suppressed the warm light of the torch, making people feel chilly.
The tied people looked at Xiao Hua on the wall. Some of them were begging, some were whimpering in fear, some had expressions of indignation, and some were disapproving, like spectators.
Among the besieged 'common people', someone shouted, "Young Xiao Hua, you even changed your surname. What qualifications do you have to sit in this country? We don't want this traitor who betrayed our ancestors."
Someone in the crowd immediately responded, shouting and cursing.
Someone else shouted: "Don't be afraid, everyone." The tone was solemn and righteous, "We are the people of Dayan. Xiao Hua's little 243 concubine has conspired to take over the world. This is already a treasonous act. How can we, the people, be treated like this?" ?”
Gradually, more people joined in, and the curses became louder.
Xiao Hua looked at him coldly and said nothing.
Ling Feng became more and more angry as he listened. He stepped forward and asked Xiao Hua, "Your Majesty..."
Xiao Hua's eyes, illuminated by the firelight, were as quiet as still waves. He raised his hand to stop Ling Feng from continuing and said calmly: "Let them scold him."
Those people cursed, and suddenly someone cried: "We won't rebel anymore, let us go back." As soon as this was said, more people cried: "Let us go back."
For a time, the cry spread far away.
Xiao Hua looked at the sky. It was almost time. He opened his thin lips lightly and said a cold word, "Kill."
The adjutant stepped forward, holding the flag and waving it down.
The officers and soldiers holding steel knives below stepped forward together, waving the cold knives in their hands.
In an instant, screams and cries rose into the sky mixed with blood.
The voices of those who clamored that Xiao Hua did not dare to do anything to them were all silenced.
Xiao Hua's dark eyes were reflected red by the blood, and Xiuru's face was still pale, showing no emotion or anger.
The officers and soldiers carried the dejected Duke of Chu up to the wall and said, "Your Majesty, take the Duke of Chu with you."
Since Qing Yi left, Duke Chu no longer went on hunger strike, and someone also brought ginseng soup in the evening. Duke Chu couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Bai Xiaohua's gourd in 243, and then Butler Zhang took the lead in the rebellion. He did not instruct Butler Zhang.
He only thought that this servant couldn't bear the situation he had fallen to, so he risked his life to stand up for him.
Although he no longer wanted to compete, he was still moved by his 'loyalty' to Butler Zhang.
A servant was so unafraid of death. What else could he be afraid of? He waited quietly for the final day of death. He wanted to walk steadily on the road to death, so he drank all the ginseng soup to replenish his physical strength.
As a result, at night, he was taken to jail.
He thought it was time to die, but unexpectedly he was taken directly to the palace wall.
He had not seen the light of day in the prison for a long time. Now he stood on the high wall and felt dizzy. If the officers and soldiers behind him had not supported him in time, he might have fallen off the palace wall.
Xiao Hua nodded lightly and motioned for everyone around him to step back.
The Duke of Chu's eyes were bright and dark for a while, clear for a while, and blurry for a while. He could barely see the handsome face in front of him clearly.
Before, he wanted to see Xiao Hua, but now that he actually saw him, he didn't know what else to say and turned to look at the wall.
He could no longer see the figures under the palace wall clearly, but as a military general, he was very familiar with the light of the swords drawn in the palace and the horrors of those dying. ()
A chill rose up from the soles of his feet and spread all over his body in an instant. His heart was like a mirror. Xiao Hua finally couldn't bear it anymore and went on a killing spree, refusing to be the so-called benevolent king.
Taking a deep breath, the breath with the strong smell of blood rushed into the lungs, making people sick. "Is it my turn?"
Xiao Hua nodded, "Yes."
The Duke of Chu smiled and suddenly felt more relaxed than ever before. Finally, he no longer had to hold on.
Suddenly his wrist tightened, he was suddenly startled, he raised his head, and his blurry eyes met Xiao Hua's clear eyes.
Xiao Hua's slightly cold fingers let go of Duke Chu's pulse and said: "Qingyi will not watch you die, and will definitely go to jail. You... let her go."
The Duke of Chu was stunned and couldn't believe his ears. Could it be that his eyes were not working and his ears were also wrong?
He shook his head, but there were still continuous sounds of slaughter and screams in his ears, "What do you have in mind?"
Xiao Hua said calmly, "Even if I don't kill you, you only have three years to live. Let her spend her old age in peace. I will pick her up in three years."
A sarcastic sneer appeared on the corner of Chu Guogong's lips, "Aren't you afraid that after I leave, I will gather people to rebel against you?"
"Does the Duke think I will be afraid?" Xiao Hua chuckled. "If you do this, I will never ask for anything. Qing Yi just gave up on this idea and followed me with all his heart."
The Duke of Chu was slumped, and he seemed to have aged ten years.
Xiao Hua made a gesture, and the soldiers came forward and escorted the Duke of Chu to the left and right.
The sound of killings and screams from far away penetrated Qing Yi's heart. Qing Yi's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. He hurried up to the palace wall and only had time to glance at Xiao Hua, who was standing quietly on the wall, and then threw himself towards the wall. Next to her, the blood and sword light under the wall dazzled her eyes.
In the vast crowd, Qing Yi couldn't tell whether his father was among the massacred people.
He suddenly turned around and grabbed Xiao Hua. Before he could ask, he looked over his shoulder and saw his father being escorted away. His heart suddenly tightened. He took a deep look at him and let go of his hand on his clothes. Turn around and leave.
Xiao Hua slowly lowered his eyes and looked at the corners of his white robe that were blown up by the wind.
He knew clearly that this time it was Snake Marquis who had set him up, but the Duke of Chu did not refute it and took it down without saying a word. What else could he do?
Qing Yi, taking advantage of the night, hung far behind his father who was being escorted to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. He carefully looked at the gestures of the patrol officers and soldiers in front of him as they intertwined, and finally his eyes were locked on the access sign hanging from their waists.
Along the way, we saw the prison in front of us. The door of the prison was heavily guarded. If we didn't take action, it would be difficult to get another chance once we entered the prison.
At this moment, an officer and soldier who was escorting my father said, "I'm going to pee."
Another person laughed and scolded: "When you are an errand, you have many things to do."
The man smiled, walked to a dark place, and unbuttoned his trousers.
In fact, this man had been working as an errand for a long time and had never had a chance to do anything. He felt uncomfortable early in the morning. Seeing that there was no one around him, he took a rope and tied up the Duke of Chu. He left it aside for the time being and went to the tree to solve his three urgent needs.
At this time, the Duke of Chu has lost his former might, and he looks like a dying old man. Moreover, Duke of Chu's accomplices have been imprisoned and killed. They are not worried about anything else going wrong at this juncture. son.
Qing Yi saw the right opportunity, suddenly floated forward, and slashed the back of one of them's neck with his palm.
Before the man could say anything, his body fell limply.
The other person noticed something was wrong, pulled up his pants and looked over, and was shocked when he saw Qing Yi suddenly appearing.
Qing Yi didn't wait for him to scream, and put the Chishui Sword in his hand against his throat, saying in a deep voice: "Don't make any sound."
The man nodded hurriedly and remained motionless as expected.
Qing Yi said coldly: "Take off your clothes."
The officers and soldiers were startled for a moment. Seeing Qing Yi's face sinking, they didn't dare to delay. They undressed and took off his belt in cooperation. When he took off his clothes until he was only wearing a small shirt, Qing Yi cut it off with a wave of his hand. The man tilted his body and slipped down.
Qing Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to help her father, who was leaning to the side.
Duke Chu opened his eyes, and after a long moment of recognition, he saw the pretty face in front of him clearly, and felt a knot in his heart.
She really came, Xiao Hua didn't lie to him...
Tsing Yi was afraid that the patrolling officers and soldiers would find out, so she didn't dare to delay. She quickly untied the rope from her father's body, turned around and tied the two unconscious officers and soldiers into a pile, tore off two pieces of clothing, balled them up, and tied their bodies After stuffing his mouth firmly, he picked up the clothes on the ground, turned behind the tree, quickly put them on, pulled off the waist tag of the other person, tied it around his own waist, and dragged the two people into the grass.
After doing all this, he helped his father stand up and turned around. Just after taking a few steps, he heard the footsteps of the brigade of officers and soldiers coming this way, and the firelight illuminated the silent night.
Qing Yi breathed slightly and looked to the left and right. Although the grass around him could hide, the fire was flickering right in front of him, and from the footsteps, he could hear that there were many masters among the people coming. If he breathed heavier, he would be discovered.
She was used to lurking, so it wasn't a problem, but her father was extremely weak at the moment. In his physical condition, it was impossible for him to remain motionless for a long time, or even to breathe at the lightest level, or even not to breathe at all.
She winked at her father, helped him take a few steps forward, dodged in the grass, and then used the cover of the grass to avoid the sight of the guards outside the prison, and hid under the wall on one side of the prison.
Although this place is very close to the officers and soldiers, the noise in the prison can cover up their breathing. Moreover, the more dangerous the place is, the more likely it is that the other party will not think of it and it will be safer.
Wait for the visitor to leave, and then try to take your father away.
As soon as he covered himself up, the troops from the brigade approached.
Qing Yi looked around and saw a familiar white figure. That handsome face was reflected very clearly by the firelight. His bottomless eyes were indifferent, not at all moved by the current predicament, nor were they moved at all. I felt a little bit timid because I had just witnessed the massacre.
Qing Yi watched intently, her eyes slowly getting wet, knowing that he had to do this and knowing that he had tried his best, but she chose to abandon him after all.
He said that it was not easy to find her for the rest of his life, but she still could not ignore the family love in this life.
Not easy, indeed not easy.
Since I have given up on you in this life, I will look for you in the next life.
Xiao Hua inadvertently glanced at her hiding place, and Qing Yi quickly shrank back, not daring to look again.
In the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, the rebellious ministers and their families have been isolated. Butler Zhang of the Duke of Chu's Mansion was locked alone in a cell separated from the Duke of Chu.
Butler Zhang is from the Duke of Chu's palace. This time the Duke of Chu is in trouble, he will no longer be able to escape safely and make a good deal with others.
As long as he pushes the Duke of Chu further and prevents any chance of resolving the relationship between him and Xiao Hua, his family will be well settled.
He did it, and as he expected, the Duke of Chu believed that he did this out of loyalty to the Duke of Chu. The Duke of Chu remained silent as he wished, without giving any explanation.
His plan was successful, but today the Duke of Chu was suddenly mentioned, which made him feel uneasy.
Afraid that they would interrogate Duke Chu alone, they designed to make Duke Chu deny this plan.
Butler Zhang stared at the cell door anxiously.
Finally hearing the sound of unlocking, Butler Zhang held his breath so nervously that he stared at the cell door without even turning his eyes.
At the same time, Qing Yi also poked his head in and looked into the window above his head.
The heavily armed officers and soldiers, holding shields and oak sticks, lined up neatly in front of the prison door. The blood on the oak sticks was still wet. They stared eagerly at the prisoners squatting on the ground in the cell and their families.
The cell door opened, and Xiao Hua, dressed in white, appeared at the door.
Other officers and soldiers swarmed in, called out those who had not participated in the rebellion, and escorted them out.
Xiao Hua's cold gaze swept across the people in the prison indifferently. The gaze seemed harmless, but the gaze was too far away and the invisible pressure made everyone dare not look directly. They couldn't help but tighten their bodies and lowered their heads again. Low.
His eyes finally rested on Butler Zhang.
Butler Zhang met his eyes and immediately shuddered.
With just a cold look, Xiao Hua turned around.
An unprecedented fear arose in Butler Zhang's heart. He rushed forward, grabbed the wooden railing tightly, and shouted, "What are you going to do?"
He didn't get any response from Xiao Hua. He only saw his indifferent back disappearing from the door, and the heavy door closed again behind him.
The officers and soldiers guarding each cell suddenly put away their wooden sticks and took out their sabers from their waists.
The prisoners suddenly realized something and hid in panic, but in a small cell, where could they hide?
The cell door opened, and officers and soldiers clutching steel knives filed in, their faces as cold as ghosts.
Blood splattered all over and dyed the walls red, and the entire cell instantly turned into a hell on earth.
Qing Yi held her breath, turned her head and stopped looking. She sat down with her back against the cold stone wall and looked at her father.
The Duke of Chu rested his head against the stone wall behind him and sighed silently.
Qing Yi reached over and gently hugged her father.
Not long ago, my father was still tall and strong. In just a few days, he had become skinny and skinny, and he felt sad.
Patting his father's arm to express comfort, the Duke of Chu raised his hand to hold his daughter's hand and slowly lowered his eyelids.
It wasn't until the screams in the prison stopped completely that the cell door was reopened, and the officers and soldiers, whose appearance was so bloody that it was difficult to distinguish, left neatly in groups.
The military governor who was standing far away rode forward on his horse, got off his horse, entered the prison, and conducted an inspection.
Qing Yi saw the opportunity, slowly lurked forward, quickly got on his horse, and by the time the officers and soldiers at the door reacted, Qing Yi had already rushed to where his father was hiding and reached out.
Although the Duke of Chu was weak and weak, he was still a general who had experienced hundreds of battles. When he saw Qing Yi rushing towards him on horseback, he used all his strength to grab his daughter's hand. He kicked his daughter's hand hard on the ground and used Qing Yi to pull her. Strength, turn over and mount the horse.
Qing Yi quickly turned his horse's head and rushed out of the crowd.
Thank you to the girls for their pink tickets, and thank you to Demon World Bingyue for the little devil, sunfloer8 for the sachet, and Amakusa Piao for the peace charm. (To be continued!!!
