In the prison, Ji Wushuang was waiting for the final verdict that belonged to him, although the injuries on his body were healed, he still couldn't keep his spirits up, staring at the dark ceiling in a daze. There was a dull pain in his chest, and only he knew the pain of cutting off his meridians.

A choice, a brave choice will end up with two outcomes. Either it touched others, or it touched itself.

Ji Wushuang's cellmate was a young man, who also came in for the crime of stealing, and when he saw that someone brought him water and food every day, and came to help him change his medicine, he was really envious in his heart, but also curious. After all, I have never seen a prisoner receive such treatment, so it is possible that he is a person with a background.

Quietly moved towards Ji Wushuang, and struggled for a long time before daring to ask, "Hey, what did you do to come in?"

Ji Wushuang turned over and simply turned his back, this person had tried to talk to him a lot these days.

"I heard from others, you also stole things to come in?" Ji Wushuang moved in again.

"That's a good dare!" the young man twitched between his eyebrows and tugged at his sleeve, "We brothers will have a good idea on the way to exile." ”

"Exiled ......" Two words came out of the depths of his dry throat, this was the first sentence Ji Wushuang said in a few days, to be precise, the first word.

Seeing his reaction, the young man continued, "No, the law of the Eastern Kingdom seems to determine the distance of exile according to the amount of stolen goods, and in my opinion, I will be exiled at least a thousand. Although it was a little harder, when I came back, I would be a good man again. ”

"A Thousand ......"

The young man nodded stunned, "However, looking at you like this, it doesn't look like someone who can steal a lot, how much do they say you will be sentenced?"

Ji Wushuang smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth and shrunk his body, "She said, at least three thousand." ”

"Three thousand!?" the guy got up and looked at the back, he had to be sentenced to such a heavy punishment for stealing a family, what did this guy steal?

No wonder those people are treated with good food and drink, it turns out that this guy is going to be exiled three thousand miles away, but there are not even a few people in that place, and it is not equivalent to going to die.

His expression was a little more solemn, but he still asked with a smile on his face, "I said-brother, Sanqianli, you are also a habitual thief, why did you accidentally come in?"

The bitterness at the corner of his mouth deepened, and with a long sigh, Ji Wushuang simply sat up straight and looked at him, "It's not that I'm careless, it's my will." ”

The young man was full of surprise, looking at him and shaking his head again and again, although he was a thief who had been exiled for 3,000 miles, but now that the tiger has fallen to Pingyang, why should he pretend to be righteous and awe-inspiring. Voluntarily? Only fools will turn themselves in.

Indeed, it is strange that there is such a fool as him in this world.

"But—what did you steal from these three thousand?" the Emperor's stuff?" he quipped.

Ji Wushuang stared at him, seeing his squinting eyes and hands and feet shrinking together, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched and asked, "How many years have you been doing this?"

The young man rubbed his head, "At the beginning, I was arrested for stealing, who called it bad luck, I stole a rich and powerful person, and I was sentenced to a thousand miles." ”

Ji Wushuang slowly closed his eyes, "Then you can still be a good person." ”

Hearing the word "good man", the young man laughed.

"And what about you—" the young man asked him rhetorically, "how many years have you been in this business?"

Ji Wushuang counted, "There should be one, more than twenty years." ”

More than 20 ...... This kid looks like he's only in his twenties, and he can't imagine that he has grown from a thief.

There was some admiration in his eyes, "Ahem...... How many times have you been found?"

"This is the first time. ”

"The first time?" the young man couldn't help laughing, "don't brag, you haven't been caught once in more than twenty years of stealing." ”

Indeed, for more than 20 years, Ji Wushuang has hidden so well, but he has thrown himself into the net for Feng Qianxun, which is really not worth it.

"Have you ever heard of Childe Wushuang's name?" he asked, slowly opening his eyes.

As soon as the young man heard that it was Gongzi Wushuang, he immediately cheered up, and his eyes were more admired, "Who in the rivers and lakes doesn't know that the thief Gongzi Wushuang! He is a thief, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and how many powerful people are terrified--his reputation among the people is very high, and in my opinion, he is more popular with the people than this dog official." ”

With a rare smile, Ji Wushuang looked at this person's excited cheeks reddening, and simply said, "I am Gongzi Wushuang." ”

……

The atmosphere was embarrassed for a while, and the young man's surprised face showed doubt, and then turned into a chuckle, "Brother, eldest brother, I am also a person who has been in the rivers and lakes for a few years, besides, I am also in the business of stealing." Are you a child, I can see at a glance—— next time, don't make this kind of joke with others, you will be laughed at." ”

Should I thank him for his kindness? Ji Wushuang smiled lightly, yes or no, it doesn't matter now. Before today, his life was determined by himself, and after today, his life will be in the hands of Feng Qianxun.

She will dispose of him according to the law and exile him for three thousand, and now Ji Wushuang, whose meridians are almost broken, is like a wasted person. But the pain on his body is just to relieve a little bit of the serious injury in his heart.

"Childe Wushuang, Lord Fu Yin is invited!" the empty prison echoed with these words.

Under the young man's glowing gaze, he was dragged out of that cage, obviously, he had to face his choice, and the outcome after the choice was bound to accept.

"Yo, is this Gongzi Wushuang?" A mole between his eyebrows was still conspicuous, and the corners of Lord Fu Yin's mouth slanted, and he walked in front of him, "When the bandit was a day, I thought you were so beautiful and how righteous you were." I can't imagine that it's just a thief, so it's not a problem?"

Brother Zhu stood beside him and said in a deep voice, "My lord, if he captured the bandit that day, it can be regarded as a meritorious service, can the punishment be reduced?"

Fu Yin looked at Zhu Zhen and asked in a raised voice, "What kind of bullshit is a thief who kills a thief and makes meritorious contributions! In my opinion, it's just a ...... in the nest."

Although his eyes were a little blurry, he recognized that the person standing beside Fu Yin was Feng Qianxun.

"My lord, Gongzi Wushuang is an unforgivable crime, but I think he has saved many people, please reduce the punishment!"

As Feng Qianxun knelt, everyone also knelt down, "Please reduce the punishment!"

Fu Yin was stunned, he really didn't expect these people to be so united, and walked past him, "Do you know that you are pleading for a murderer! Dongfang Country is a country that governs the country according to law, how can you allow your words to reduce the sentence of a murderer?!"

"Your Excellency. Feng Qianxun buried his head, and even heard the crisp sound, "If there is a law, it must be reasonable, Gongzi Wushuang did not kill anyone, he was only guilty of stealing." ”

"There is no need to confuse the official!" Fu Yin's eyes were certain, "The case of the three members of the thatched house in the north of the city, as well as the case of Liang You of the Liang Mansion, are all committed by him. After killing so many people and committing such an unforgivable sin, how dare you intercede for him?"

knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, and a red mark on the top of his head was shocking, "My lord, I have clearly said yesterday that it was Liang You who killed people, and Gongzi Wushuang was just a ......"

"Enough——" shouted, Fu Yin had obviously decided, his eyebrows were firm, "Whoever intercedes for this person again, will be punished with the same crime!"

"My lord, but—"

Zhu Zhen saw that Lord Fu Yin had a fierce face, and immediately pulled Feng Qianxun back, "Lord Feng! Since Lord Fu Yin has already been convicted, don't say more." ”

She looked at the man on the ground, Ji Forget, how could she watch him suffer an injustice.

"I don't know—what are you going to do with me?" the man on the ground suddenly spoke, and his bloodshot eyes fell on Fu Yin.

Obviously, Fu Yin was a little flustered, and even the flower spikes in his hand couldn't help but shake off, and his tone pretended to be indifferent, "How can I deal with it, naturally it is the autumn queen who asks for it!"

Ask - Ji Wushuang's mind was blank for a while, it turned out that the ending he was waiting for was just such a sentence.

"Ji Forget—" he looked up at those calm and determined eyes, "you have to believe me. ”

The smile on the corner of his mouth grew cold, and Ji Wushuang's heart wrapped himself layer by layer like the cold ice of that winter.

The sword on his body was for Feng Qianxun, he cut off his meridians for Feng Qianxun, and he was willing to be captured for Feng Qianxun. At the moment, does he still want to die for Feng Qianxun? Sure enough, choosing is a very difficult thing in this world.

What's even harder is that once you choose, you can't go back.

But Ji Wushuang has never regretted it, because in this life, he can do anything for one person, that is bravery, and that is already different.
