Snowflakes are scattered, and the sky and earth are wrapped. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The flat pavement of the square, covered with a four-finger-thick blanket of snow just over the instep of her feet, walked unhurriedly to a high platform in the center of the square, where an executioner with a large knife waited for a long time to cut off her head.

On each side of the platform, there is a row of archers ready to kill, if she makes any resistance!

Outside the main hall facing the high platform, Li Sheng sat on the dragon chair and defied everything with the attitude of a victor, and a group of courtiers beside him stood on the jade steps and looked into the distance, and some of the ministers who were apologetic but could not protect themselves could only bow their heads, unable to bear to see the torture that the woman was about to suffer.

Qin Ran went to Chang'an last year, from the autopsy case, to the theft case, as far as the ten years of unsolved cases, and as close as the murder case of seeking money, Qin Ran's appearance made people who wanted to commit crimes have to weigh in advance, which made the security of Chang'an City last year the best year in ten years.

She has done good deeds, but today she will be beheaded.

Approaching the high platform, Qin Ran saw that there were nine steps.

As soon as she took a step, the soldier behind her pushed her and scolded rudely. "Be honest!"

With a stumble, Qin Ran almost fell, and when she got up and glanced back at the soldier with cold eyes, she held on to a wire that he had stuffed into her hand without a trace.

Bringing her to the high platform, the soldier kicked her in the back calf socket, and Qin Ran knelt down facing the main hall.

Before she knelt down, the soldier whispered a reminder.

"Don't use internal force."

The Xuantie Iron Chain is made of the Xuanbing Iron in the Far North, and when used on the prisoner, it will cause the cold to invade the internal organs, but it is not indestructible, if it is forcibly shattered by internal force, the body will be greatly damaged, which is the so-called killing a thousand enemies and self-damage and eight hundred.

The iron chain restrained her hands behind her, the executioner stood beside her, she faced Li Sheng and the others, her back was empty, Qin Ran knelt on the ground, pinched the shape of the iron wire and inserted it into the chain core, and pounded it carefully.

As for the soldier, he got off the platform, walked straight to the archer at the end of one side, and said something in the man's ear, and the archer, who had been in a good position, quickly handed the bow and arrow to the soldier and retreated behind him.

The soldier looked at the woman on the high platform, her high strands of hair were a little messy, and although she was on her knees with the cold wind, she still had that calm expression.

Feeling the familiar gaze, Qin Ran raised his eyes and glanced at him, only to see him shaking his head slightly, signaling her not to move for the time being.

"Execution—" The eunuch raised his voice and announced the beginning of the blood sacrifice.

The executioner shifted his footsteps, and he raised his broadsword and aimed it at the back of the woman's neck.

The important ministers outside the hall closed their eyes tightly, only Li Sheng stared at Qin Ran intently, he wanted to witness the scene of her head falling to the ground.

"Whoa—"

A sharp arrow pierced the air and attacked Li Sheng in the center of the front of the hall with an irreversible force.

Li Sheng has five senses of martial arts and is sensitive, and he quickly pulled the eunuch next to him in front of him.

The archery man was full of skill, and the arrow went in and out of the eunuch's left eye and the back of his head, only an inch away from the tip of Li Sheng's nose!

In an instant, Li Sheng's heartbeat stopped a few beats, and he was so shocked that he sweated like rain.

At the same time, another arrow flew immediately after, Li Sheng was caught off guard, and could only watch the sharp arrow penetrate his thigh, the inertia of the arrow backwards did not decrease at all, and Li Sheng had to lean back.

"I'll leave a cripple for you to be the emperor!"

On the side of the high platform, Qin Ran suddenly got up and kicked sideways, kicking the executioner three feet away!

When she turned around, Qin Ran had already seen the second arrow shot by the soldiers into Li Sheng's thigh, and the outside of the hall immediately became chaotic, the ministers fled in all directions, the eunuch muttered to the imperial doctor, and the leader of the soldiers commanded the two to be surrounded and suppressed.

Qin Ran stepped forward, and the archers pointed their arrows at her.

Draw the bow, release the arrows-

Qin Ran stood still, she used the wire to easily open the chain, throw away the black iron chain, she suddenly rushed forward a few steps, jumped up, and drew a perfect arc in the air.

Qin Ran twisted in the air, and made a 'grasping', 'holding' and 'pushing' movements in his hand.

For a while, no one noticed that the row of archers in front of the position of the soldier who shot Li Sheng earlier was all cut by a dagger that could 'fly' in an instant.

All the archers on the east side of the high platform are destroyed!

Here, none of the long arrows shot at her hit her, because her movements were so fast, and she was still on the high platform before, and in the blink of an eye, she was in the middle of the square.

The archers immediately followed in the direction of the arrow, and this time they were able to shoot her.

However, something even weirder happened.

The archers saw that Qin Ran opened her hands towards them, raised them diagonally, her hands tightened ten fingers, pressed down, the picture in front of the archers seemed to be still, they saw the arrows in the quiver fly out, and immediately, the sharp arrows went straight into their chests.

As the archers fell, they seemed to be able to see her smile indifferently.

All the archers on the west side of the high platform are destroyed!

In just a few breaths, Qin Ran had eliminated the biggest threat at the moment, and she turned around to find the soldier who had just stuffed her with wire and shot Li Sheng-Jin Zuo, and Jin Zuo took her hand with his backhand.

"Hurry up, there are heavy troops."

The armored soldiers were waiting outside the side hall, as soon as there was movement here, they immediately sent someone over there, and because the heavy soldiers were slow, Qin Ran and Jin Zuo quickly left the square. The two cooperated tacitly and killed a lot of enemies, but the tactics of the sea of people really couldn't be provoked, tens of thousands of people in the palace and tens of thousands of people outside the palace, it was not easy for them to escape from the palace. Coupled with the rebellion of the Golden Feather Guard, the guards of the Golden Feather Guard, who were familiar with all corners of the palace, could easily find traces of the two staying.

"How are you?" Seeing that Jin Zuo seemed a little uncomfortable, Qin Ran quickly glanced around. "No, we'll have to find a place to hide first."

She was injured in the back last night, and she made another fuss in the Taiji Hall this morning, and just now she used her internal force to kill two rows of archers, Qin Ran felt a little tired, but she always felt that Jin Zuo's state was not as good as her.

"Come on." Running, Jin Zuo suddenly hugged her and turned around, hiding in a wall between two walls that was almost impossible to find.

The two of them did not move, and the footsteps of the pursuers were already ringing in their ears.

The wall layer was narrow, only enough for the two of them to be close together, and the light inside was dim, Qin Ran couldn't even raise his eyes to see him clearly, and the footsteps outside kept stopping, so Qin Ran leaned his face on his chest.

She closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing.

The moment it was pressed against his chest, she seemed to sense his heartbeat to increase?

Before she could open her eyes, a smell of blood rushed into her nose, Qin Ran thought that the wound on her back had cracked open at some point, and Jin Zuo had no external injuries, but he should have suffered internal injuries beforehand.

When the pursuers ran away, Jin Zuo's hand that did not hold the knife moved lightly, pulled her hand, he staggered to the back wall and walked in, Qin Ran followed him inside.

"When I was seven years old, I discovered this passage."

Qin Ran asked in a low voice. "Where does it lead?"

"The Imperial Dining Room."

When he didn't become strong, Jin Zuo was often beaten and starved, and when he was beaten, he had to fight back and learn to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, and when he was starving, he had to break the rules and sneak out to find food, anyway, he would be punished if he was known, so he simply stole food to the imperial dining room.

With Qin Ran familiar with the way back to the place where the future has been going on for a long time, the two of them sat under the stove and stuffed some food into their stomachs.

Including the imperial dining room, the palace maids and eunuchs were all arrested and locked up by Li Sheng yesterday, there was some ready-made food in the house, Qin Ran ate some cold food, and saw that Jin Zuo just looked at her and didn't eat it. "You're not hungry?"

"The courtyard next to it is the Shang Medical Department, I'm going to find some hemostatic medicine." Jin Zuo was a little reluctant to take his eyes off her face, and after he finished speaking, he got up and went to the next door.

She didn't know that she was his painkiller, and it was really difficult to survive without her.

went to another room, closed the door, Jin Zuo couldn't support it and slid down the door panel to the ground, took out the few pills left in his arms, and swallowed them all. After relieving himself a little, and afraid that staying for a long time would arouse Qin Ran's suspicions, he pressed the side of his abdomen, stood up with a muffled snort, and walked to the cabinet and took two pots of spirits.

The south side of the cottage is the residence of the maid on duty in the imperial dining room, Jin Zuo flashed into the house, opened the cabinet and found needlework, scissors and other things.

Taking off the outer layer of clothes, Jin Zuo raised his head and drank half a pot of wine before untying the inner layer of clothes, and wiped the wound on the abdomen with the cotton cloth dipped in wine, the mouth was too big, Jin Zuo bit a rag, and trembled and sewed the mouth on the right side of the abdomen with an embroidery needle.

"This way!"

The pursuers lost the two men, and the above ordered a carpet search, and after a while the soldiers turned back and found the imperial dining room.

Jin Zuo bit the tip of his tongue to sober himself up, hurriedly cut off the thread, and closed his shirt.

The pursuers seemed to have been ambushed and quietly guarded at the door, and as soon as Jin Zuo went out and was surrounded, he fought with the people in half of the courtyard.

Qin Ran heard the sound and rushed over, it was another fierce battle.

Both of them consumed a lot of physical strength to the endless soldiers, and they were inevitably injured, Qin Ran once again spent three successful efforts to eliminate the soldiers near the imperial dining room, but more soldiers rushed here, and Qin Ran and the two had to continue to hide.

"I'll lead the people behind, you hide in the secret room where Kublai Khan is trapped, and we will meet in the secret passage."

"No, I'm going to lure them away." Qin Ran flatly refused, the sweat on Jin Zuo's forehead couldn't be stopped, and his slow movements were telling her that he had suffered extremely serious internal injuries.

"Are you stupid? The person they want to arrest is you, not me, and it will be easier for me to escape than you. ”

"No......"

Before he finished speaking, the scene in front of him made it impossible for the two of them to argue anymore.

The betrayal of the holy Jin Yuwei appeared, Jin Yuwei totaled a thousand people, with a team of 100 people, last night's shift change, two senior guards who were bribed by Li Sheng led their guards to poison the three hundred guards on duty in the previous round, and the three hundred guards on duty in the latter round were handed over to Li Sheng for disposal, and the rest of the people were still outside the palace.

And the brothers of Jin Zuo's team have all been poisoned, and Jin Yuwei was controlled, and Li Sheng easily implemented his palace change plan. In fact, when Sheng Shang had an accident in Concubine Rou's dormitory a few days ago, Jin Zuo had already guessed that there was something wrong with Jin Yuwei, but he didn't expect Li Sheng's movements to be so fast.

Right now, nearly 100 well-trained Jin Yuwei are by no means comparable to ordinary soldiers, how should Jin Zuo and Qin Ran deal with it?

Jin Zuo glanced at Qin Ran and motioned for her to find an opportunity to rush out, as for him, he wanted to delay time in exchange for a chance to breathe.

"Zhang Geng, Feng Yang, why do you want to betray the Holy Lord?"

"Betrayal?" The person who spoke to Jin Zuo was Zhang Geng. "I have never been faithful to him, so how can I betray him? I am an orphan, but I never wanted to live this kind of life and death life when I was a child, either life or death, living for a person I hate all my life, too tired, but when he died, I was free. ”

Jin Zuo didn't want to argue with him, if there was no saint, they wouldn't have died early, this is a world of the jungle.

He was expressionless and sarcastic. "Then why don't you hurry up and fly freely, why stop me?"

"Naturally, I will exchange the two of you for a lifetime of food and clothing."

After that, Zhang Geng's face was hideous, Zhang Geng and Feng Yang took the lead in rushing towards Jin Zuo and the two, fighting each other, the scene was tragic, less than a quarter of an hour, Jin Yuwei was killed and injured, Qin Ran was wounded by knives all over his body, and Jin Zuo was even more serious.

At this time, when the two of them thought they were going to die, more than twenty black-clothed people came in, and their goal was to surround Qin Ran and Jin Zuo's Jin Yuwei.

"Girl, we're late." A man in black approached Qin Ran and said. "The palace is heavily guarded, and your subordinates have not been able to enter, and it took most of them to find you."

Qin Ran didn't pin her hopes on others, but seeing that there was support at this time, her heart was a little relieved, and the man in black should be Song Tianxian's person.

"Where is Song Tianxian?" 21

"The master went out of the city yesterday." The man in black only knew that Song Tian had left Chang'an City in an instant, and he didn't know the detailed information for the time being. "Girl, let's take care of the aftermath, you go first."

Qin Ran knew what the aftermath of the black-clothed mouth meant, leaving these more than 20 people was tantamount to sending them to death, exchanging their lives for one of her lives.

Qin Ran was shaking her head, Jin Zuo leaned over to her, and said weakly. "Go through the secret passage."

At this time, Qin Ran found that Jin Zuo's face was terrifyingly pale!

Jin Zuo...... You. ”

"Let's go, I can't do it." Sitting down along one side of the palace wall, Jin Zuo's knife had already been thrown aside.

I don't know where Song Tianxuan went, but fortunately, there was someone to support at this time, as long as Jin Yuwei here was dragged for a while, Qin Ran would have the opportunity to enter the nearby secret passage, and through the secret passage, she would be able to leave the palace smoothly.

Jin Zuojuezhi was glad and had a hint of bitterness, she could finally do without his protection.

"Don't fool around." As if seeing that his life was gradually disappearing, Qin Ran couldn't help but feel panicked.

What he just said, Qin Ran didn't hear it for the first time today.

Hearing this, the corners of Jin Zuo's mouth went up, but he could only raise a small arc, from her three words, he heard her nervousness and she cared, he wanted to smile brighter, but unfortunately he couldn't, he didn't even have the strength to laugh.

Qin Ran saw him leaning against the palace wall, holding his abdomen with one hand, she hurriedly unbuttoned his shirt, and when she saw it, she was stunned.

On the right side of his abdomen, there was a slap-sized wound, the skin on the surface had gone, only a blur of flesh and blood was seen, Qin Ran could even clearly see his internal organs, and a cyan embroidery thread on the edge of the wound.

For a moment, Qin Ran remembered that he was going to the Shang Medical Department to get hemostatic medicine before, but he was surrounded in front of a small room in the imperial dining room, wasn't it, he just gritted his teeth in that room and used the palace maid's embroidery needle to sew up his wounds?

As soon as that picture appeared in her mind, Qin Ran was heartbroken, guilty, and blamed herself, why didn't she find out that he was injured earlier?!

"I ...... We admit defeat and don't run, Jin Zuo, don't talk or move, I'll find a doctor, don't worry, you'll be fine. Qin Ran knelt beside him and spoke a little incoherently. I have a way to prevent Li Sheng from killing us, there must be a way, you ......"

"How stupid are you? Hurry up, anyone will die here if they drag it on. ”

"No, no, no, no, I won't, you...... Not even so. ”

At this time, the man in black interrupted Qin Ran.

"Girl, let's go, the pursuers are coming." The man in black also saw Jin Zuo's injury and knew that he was no longer good.

"Take her away."

Jin Zuo said to the man in black, but Qin Ran grabbed his hand tightly and resolutely didn't get up.

"Jin Zuo, it's not worth it."

"For you, it's worth it." Jin Zuo was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes, but he still wanted to open his eyes and look at her.

Seeing the tears on her face, Jin Zuo suddenly remembered an important matter, and his bloodstained hand reached into his arms and took a copper lock out. "Take it, give it to my godson."

As the words fell, Jin Zuo slowly closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.

Suddenly, a Jin Yuwei who was fighting with the man in black fell backwards and crashed into Jin Zuo, Qin Ran drew a knife and slashed, blood splashed her face, the guard fell next to Jin Zuo, the man in black urged Qin Ran to go, they couldn't bear it, please Qin Ran don't let down the people who died for her.

Looking back, Qin Ran went to see Jin Zuo, wanting to break his intestines, he died for her, but she couldn't even collect his body for him.

"I will avenge you!" Holding the copper lock in his hand, Qin Ran left without looking back, for Jin Zuo, and for the man in black who sacrificed for her behind him.

Qin Ran didn't know that as soon as she left, Jin Zuo's hand slowly let go.

"Silly girl...... I, only wish, you...... A good life. ”

Qin Ran couldn't hear his last sentence, because it disappeared into the wind and fell into the dust with the snow.
