On the way from Fengyun Pass to the capital, a horse galloped forward like a meteor. The people on the official road only felt that a gust of wind had passed, and the rider was already invisible, leaving only a dark afterimage.

Ruan Yanluo returned to his heart like an arrow, sent Wei Liu away, and calculated the time for Lan Yue Lanxing's execution, there were only ten days left.

The road they had taken twenty days to get there had only ten days to get back.

Along the way, she has changed five fast horses, and the horses are not stopped, and only when she is so tired that she can't hold on, she finds a place to take a nap.

At this time, her eyes were already blue and black, and her clothes were covered with wind and dust, but the glimpse of the horse still made people feel proud.

At this time, it was only a few dozen miles away from the capital, but it was the last day of Lan Yue Lanxing's execution, Ruan Yanluo looked at the sky, and there was already a slight light on the horizon.

She whipped the horse's stock.

Be quick, be quick, and be sure to rush to the capital execution ground before noon.

Lan Yue and Lan Xing's two girls, she will never allow them to lose.

Lan Yue Lan Xing knelt on the high platform of execution, her face was pale, and her whole person looked haggard because of nearly a month of prison life.

They had been brought here early this morning, and had been kneeling on the platform for half an hour, and when noon came, they would be beheaded in public.

Seeing that the time was approaching little by little, Lan Yue finally couldn't help but ask in a hoarse voice, "Sister, why do you say that the master is doing this to us?" He knew we weren't with the county lord that day. ”

Lan Yue's lips were also dry, and she said: "The master must have his reasons for doing this, it should be for the good of the county lord, he is the father of the county lord, and he will not harm the county lord." ”

"You mean to say that if we die, it's better for the county lord?"

Lan Yue couldn't say it herself, so she could only be silent.

Lan Xing suddenly smiled and said: "Since it is good for the county lord to die, then die, anyway, our lives are also saved by the county lord, without the county lord, we would have become the concubines of that bastard of the Du family, with a temperament like me, I am afraid that I will die before he touches me." Being able to live these days, and being so happy, is all earned, and it's worth it when you die. ”

Lan Yue looked at her sister with a little surprise, this sister has always been impatient, but she didn't expect her to understand so clearly in her heart, even she was a little moved when she said this.

Just as he was about to say something, a whip slammed between the two of them, and the guard shouted, "Don't speak!" When death is coming, how can there be so much to say, if you want to say, go to Huangquan Road to say it! ”

Lan Yue Lan Xing was provoked by the whip and turned to both sides at the same time, almost falling, and the guards glared at them, and stood with their arms crossed.

Little by little, the sun moved towards the mid-heavens, and the shadow pillars used to keep time became shorter and shorter, and it seemed that they were about to coincide to one point.

Lan Xing suddenly seemed to think of something, and exclaimed, "No, sister, we can't just die." ”

Lan Yue was taken aback by her, didn't she think about it very clearly just now? Why can't you die?

Lan Xing lowered his voice and said urgently: "Sister, do you remember that when Sister Lan Xiang died, the county lord had a big illness. ”

Lan Yue's face changed suddenly, how could she not remember that Ruan Yanluo had been sleeping for several days and nights, and she couldn't wake up no matter how she screamed, and the illness almost killed her.

"Sister, the county lord is the most affectionate person, Sister Lan Xiang died, she could have such a big illness, we have been with her these days, if we die, can the county lord feel better? Last time, King Ling had medicine to save the county lord's life, but I heard that King Ling only had one medicine, if she gets sick again this time, who can save her? ”

Lan Yue has always been cautious and delicate, but at this moment, she feels that she has not understood as Lan Xing thinks.

"Lan Xing, you're right, we can't die." Lan Yue Zhengse said that even for Ruan Yanluo, they had to take care of their lives.

"But the execution is about to begin, what are we going to do?" Lan Xing said those words, but at a critical moment, he had no idea.

At this moment, the little soldier watching the hour in the audience shouted in a long voice: "The time has come!" Execute! ”

The two big men came up and grabbed Lan Yue Lanxing and dragged them in the direction of the guillotine.

Lan Yue struggled violently, and shouted with all her strength: "Wronged! Slaves and maids are wronged! ”

Lan Xing didn't know what Lan Yue meant, but what her sister did was always right, so she screamed loudly.

There were a lot of people watching the execution, and they originally watched the two sisters standing quietly on the high platform, and thought that it would be over if they were beheaded, but they didn't expect that there would be such a fuss when the matter came to an end, and they were all interested for a while, and stretched their necks to watch.

"We have been wronged! The county lord was robbed, you have swords and swords, and the city defense troops guarding Kyoto can't do anything, what can we two weak women do? ”

"That is, what is the use of arresting us when men can't do it? If you want to kill us, you should behead all the people who are in charge of the defense of the capital! We are not convinced! ”

Lan Yue shouted, and Lan Xing reacted, Lan Yue usually doesn't scold, and her words are much sharper than Lan Yue.

The two of them shouted loudly while struggling desperately, preventing them from taking themselves to the guillotine.

Old Man Ruan watched from the crowd on the side, his face gloomy as water.

If Ruan Yanluo does not enter Beijing today, the poison in his body will be released, and he will definitely die at that time.

Only she can save these two girls, if Ruan Yanluo can't catch up, these two girls can be regarded as her funeral.

The crowd below listened to Lan Yue Lanxing's cry and talked about it one after another.

"It was so messy that night, what role could these two little girls play."

"No, if you lose the county lord, those big men can't afford to take responsibility for themselves, so they put the responsibility on them, it's a pity for these two little girls."

"Alas, the officials protect each other."

One by one, they all sympathized with Lan Yue and Lan Xing.

The chief officer on the beheading platform turned pale when he heard these discussions, but he just beheaded two little girls, how could he still arouse the dissatisfaction of these untouchables with the government?

He yelled at the few big men who were pulling Lan Yue and Lan Xing, "Didn't you all eat? Can't even pull the two little girls? ”

Those big men were reprimanded, although they also sympathized with Lan Yue Lanxing, but they didn't dare not use their strength, and immediately pulled them hard and pressed them in front of the guillotine.

The junior officer who was checking the prisoners next to them glanced at them and shouted, "Verify your identity!" ”

Lan Yue Lan Xing struggled desperately, but in the end, it was still impossible to escape death, Lan Xing burst into tears in the corners of his eyes, and said, "Sister, we only have goodbye in the next life." ”

Lan Yue's heart was also sad, and she said, "Be sisters again in the next life." ”

"We also serve the county lord together."

"Hmm."

A few tears slid across their faces, and they closed their eyes at the same time, waiting for the moment when the guillotine fell.
