cpa300_4(); As Su Su said, it is indeed about to change.

The next day, the whole day was overcast, the heavy dark clouds were like a black hand covering the earth, there was not a trace of wind, and the feeling of depression that almost made people unable to breathe was oppressive to the human body at any time.

Pei Yuanxiu went out early in the morning and didn't come back until late at night.

When he came back, I had been lying in bed for a long time.

It's just that lying down is one thing, whether you can fall asleep is another, these days I have been open every night to watch the sky outside the window is getting brighter, so when he pushed the door in, I immediately felt a cool breeze blowing in from outside the door, blowing the tent next to the bed.

However, I lay motionless on my side and did not look back.

After Pei Yuanxiu walked in, Xiaoni and Xi Xi also hurriedly came to serve, he washed his hands, changed his clothes, and asked me how much I ate today, when I went to sleep, etc., Xiaoni and they all answered one by one, and then he waved his hand: "You all go down." ”

"Yes."

After the second maid withdrew, the door was also closed, and the tent that had been blown away was quiet at the moment, but his shadow was reflected on the wall, and he slowly walked to the bed, propped himself on the bed with one hand, and slowly leaned down. I felt his breath getting closer and closer, closer and closer, almost close to my ear, and the hot feeling made my hand hidden in the thin quilt clench subconsciously.

Then, a kiss landed gently on my neck.

At this time, no matter how much I didn't move, I slowly turned my head and looked at him with half-squinted eyes: "Yuan Xiu? You're back? ”

He looked at me with a smile: "Did I wake you up?" ”

I rubbed my eyes and didn't speak, just asked, "When?" ”

"It's going to be the third watch."

"It's so late! Then you go to sleep. ”

He propped his hands on the bed, leaned over to look at me, I don't know if it was because of the candle flame flickering next to the bed, his eyes were also flickering, and I had rubbed my eyes tiredly, turned around again, and said softly: "Go to bed early, get up early tomorrow." ”

“……”

After being silent for a long time, he let out a soft "um".

Then I felt him undress and get on the bed, and his body approached me with a slight cool breath, but soon the slight cool breath became warm between the bed.

He said softly, "Qing Baby." ”

“…… Well? ”

"You still speak very nasally, is it a cold?"

“…… Well. ”

"Did you spend a long time out last night?"

I didn't say anything more, but rolled over again, closed my eyes and fell asleep.

The man who was close to me was quiet and looked at me for a long time, and I could hear his long breath and warm breath blowing on my neck, and after a long time, he sighed softly, and then reached out and hugged me, and fell asleep.

On the morning of the third day, it was past hour, and the sky was still as gray as it was in the evening.

I combed Miao Yan's hair in the chair, and two pink ribbons hung down from her bun and gently brushed her pink cheeks, which looked particularly delicate and lovely.

Although she can't run around every day like she used to, I still match her with the clothes she wears every day and comb her chic hairstyle, so that she looks beautiful every day, as if she will jump out of the chair at any moment and jump into my arms.

I'm waiting for that day.

After I finished combing, I carefully cut her hairband, and then said to Su Su: "Today, my son and I are going to Yangzhou, and they may come back very late, you take good care of Miaoyan." ”

Su Su nodded hurriedly: "Yes, eldest miss." ”

I also knew that she was doing things properly, so I didn't say anything else, just leaned over, kissed Miaoyan lightly on the forehead, and then said: "Miaoyan, my mother and your father crossed the river together today to see off your third uncle, you are obediently at home." ”

If it was in the past, when she mentioned going out and her third uncle, this girl would definitely jump up and shout to go together, but now she is still just sitting there quietly, her black and white eyes are full of chaotic light, I can't help but feel sour, my eyes are almost red, and at this time, Pei Yuanxiu's voice sounded at the door, and said, "Qingying, the time is coming." ”

"Okay."

I agreed, glanced back at Miaoyan, gently stroked her long soft hair, and turned away.

As soon as I got out of the inner courtyard, I saw Pei Yuanxiu standing at the head of the bridge, followed by a few attendants, and when he saw me coming out, he greeted me with a smile and said, "Are you ready?" ”

"Hmm."

"Alright, let's go."

didn't say anything, he took my hand and walked outside the courtyard, I didn't twist anything, just was led by him so calmly, until I walked to the gate, I saw a team of carriages outside, and I clearly saw that on one of the carriages, the slightly opened curtain revealed the faces of Han Ruoshi and Han Zitong.

I was stunned: "You-"

As soon as Han Ruoshi saw me, her face was also full of smiles: "Sister Qingying, get in the car quickly." ”

I turned my head to look at Pei Yuanxiu, and he said: "Yesterday, Zitong knew about this matter, and said that when she was on the island, Lord Liu also took care of her, and now she is going to give Lord Liu a ride, which can be regarded as a friendship of sharing hardship." ”

“…… Yes. ”

"Miss Ruoshi said that since Lord Liu had taken care of Zitong, then she, as an older sister, also wanted to go over and give him a ride."

“……”

I raised my head, glanced at the two almost identical faces that appeared behind the curtain, but they were completely different expressions and feelings, and I was silent for a while, and I didn't say anything more, when the carriage came to us, Pei Yuanxiu helped me, and the two of us got into the carriage together.

When I arrived at the wharf and crossed the river on the boat, the sky was still gloomy, and even the whole river became chaotic. The newcomers of that night, now one soul has returned to Jiuquan, and the other is going to be beheaded today.

What irony, how impermanence, and how impermanence.

I sat on the boat, looking at the gray river, there seem to be more boats coming and going today, especially from Jinling to Yangzhou, are some small boats, there are three or five people on it, all of them are young and strong young men.

I immediately felt that something was wrong, and when I turned around, I saw Pei Yuanxiu and the others all sitting there quietly, looking at the scenery on the river, naturally, they also saw these.

Suddenly, I understand.

After all, they are going to Yangzhou, which can be regarded as an enemy camp, although Pei Yuanhao may not have the energy to fight them again, but he still has to send a lot of guards to be prepared.

We didn't take a big boat, and it took a long time to finally dock, but we were surprised to find that the fish market near the wharf was also very deserted today, not only no one came to the market to buy things, but there were not even many people setting up stalls, which seemed to be particularly deserted.

I glanced at them, and then followed Pei Yuanxiu and they got into the carriage, the carriage just began to drive on the road was still very slow, and was bumped by the uneven bluestone road and kept shaking, after going to the avenue, the speed became faster, and after a while, I felt the West Market.

This is also the place where Yangzhou Prefecture was executed.

Before getting out of the car, I heard the extraordinarily noisy sound outside, compared to the usual people coming and going, the lively Yangzhou market, today the crowd here has reached the point of surprise, I subconsciously lifted the corner of the curtain to look out, suddenly shocked.

Outside is not only people coming and going, it is simply a sea of people, one after another, as if all the people of Yangzhou City have come here, you can only see a dark head of people in the crowd, sweating like rain, and even if there are no small shops on both sides of the avenue on weekdays, it is simply not able to accommodate so many people, and many places even the tents of the poles on the street corners are crowded and fall down.

What an amazing scene.

I looked at the crowded street in front of me in a daze, and at this moment, a few more people ran past our carriage, and I saw that they were several elderly aunts and uncles, and they were talking about something as they walked forward.

"Is it true? Are you really going to kill Lord Liu today? ”

"What's wrong? The emperor's list has been sent out. ”

"Lord Liu is a good person, a good official, but he can't be killed."

"Kill him, this Yangzhou, this Jiangnan, who cares!"

"Yes, let's go and ask for help, go!"

……

Seeing that they were walking away, and looking at this scene, I couldn't say a word, Han Zitong and the others saw my stunned appearance, and hurriedly moved over to look outside, looking at the crowded scene of the people, they all frowned.

At this moment, the driver who was driving the car in front of him said, "Childe, madam, two young ladies." ”

"What's going on?"

"The carriage can't pass."

"Huh?"

"There are so many people that the roads are all blocked."

As soon as he heard this, before Pei Yuanxiu could speak, Han Zitong's willow-like brows furrowed, and said, "The road is blocked, won't you open the road?" ”

After saying this, the coachman outside was also stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to say anything, he could only wave the whip again, and he heard the whip shoot loudly and even piercing whips in the air, crackling, and he waved the whip while shouting: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" ”

Suddenly, the people outside shouted.

"What are you doing?"

"Get out of the way!"

"It's almost too crowded here, how can I make way for you?"

"That is, you have the ability to get down and walk over by yourself!"

"You-!"

Seeing that the ordinary people outside were excited, at this time, they were beaten down by the coachman several rounds of whipping, and one by one they poured their anger on him, and the carriage was even more difficult to walk.

I thought for a moment and said, "That's it, it's hard to see that the carriage is going to pass like this, so let's get out of the carriage and walk over, it's only a little way." ”

Hearing me say this, Pei Yuanxiu also nodded: "That's it." ”

Although Han Ruoshi was still a little displeased, when she saw me speak, and Pei Yuanxiu agreed, she couldn't say anything, so she could only get out of the carriage aggrievedly, her sister immediately came up to help her, and our group walked forward.

Although it was crowded and crowded, the people sent by Pei Yuanxiu still played a great role, these people mixed in with the people, silently opened the way for us, and after a while, we walked to the center of the West Market, the huge square.

Here, a wooden platform for execution has been erected, and behind the wooden platform is the place where the prison officer gave the order, and it is a tall stone platform, which is hung high with red silk on both sides, and it looks like a blood red when viewed. On the stone platform, there were five or six tables horizontally, and there were officials who were overseered and beheaded, as well as several other officials.

Two rows of samurai, holding swords in one hand and hips in the other, stood mightily on either side.

This is the place where the execution will be carried out.

As soon as I saw this place, my breath tightened, especially when it was so crowded, although Pei Yuanxiu sent people around us to block those people, but the heat wave still made me feel dizzy.

I looked up and looked around to see what else was going on.

And Xiao Yusheng them, where are they?

However, looking at it, the crowd is full of unfamiliar faces, full of regret, anger, and anxious looks, but there is no trace of Xiao Yusheng at all, I can't help but sweat coldly, but I also know that he and his brother have always come and gone without a trace, if I really see them in the crowd, I will feel strange, and even worry that things will change.

Now they should be hiding somewhere, waiting for the time to come.

Thinking of this, I comforted myself and breathed a long sigh of relief.

And just then, I saw a somewhat familiar restaurant on the other side of the street.

The restaurant is three stories high, the first and second floors are closed windows, only the wide windows on the third floor are not closed, but from the window hangs down a fine and dense bamboo curtain, blocking the inside of the qiē, can only faintly see someone sitting on the seat next to the bed, as if still holding a cup in the hand drinking.

It was February Red.

I didn't recognize it at first sight, because I usually go to Februaryhong and enter directly from the main entrance, but now I see the north of the restaurant, of course, I feel a little unfamiliar, and the seat that the bamboo curtain hangs down, if I am not mistaken, should be the place where I went to the restaurant in the past, drinking and watching the scenery.

And last time, when I went to February Red-

Just thinking about it, I suddenly felt a tingling pain in my chest.

Pei Yuanxiu lowered his head and looked at me: "What's wrong?" ”

I hurriedly shook my head: "It's okay. ”

After speaking, he looked up at the official on the high platform in front of him, who was Wu Yanqiu.

Liu Qinghan was originally the chief official of Yangzhou Mansion, but now he is the one who is beheaded, and the supervisor is probably only appointed by the emperor, and naturally there is only this Lord Wu.

I looked at him again, and just then, there was a commotion nearby.
