Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Blade
When Yu Ruoxu appeared at the execution ground covered in blood, the people around him began to discuss. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Isn't this Miss Yu?"
"Oh, that's pathetic...... Isn't it August that we are going to get married? ”
"Where's the prince?"
"Do you know, the chief judge of the Yu family's rebellion this time is Hou Ye, what do you say the prince can do?"
Yu Ruoxu frowned, her hands were tied behind her back, and there was a sharp pain in her wrist, and she couldn't even speak.
"Miss......" Xiu'er knelt beside her, her eyes were red, and she didn't know how many times she had cried, "Miss...... Are you feeling unwell? ”
Yu Ruoxu barely squeezed out a smile, "It's okay." ”
"Slave maid...... I'm so afraid...... Xiu'er's tears fell with a "snap", "slave maid ......"
"It's okay, it's gone in the blink of an eye, and I'm with you." Yu Ruoxu comforted.
"The slave doesn't want to ......," Xiu'er said with tears in her eyes, "The slave doesn't want the young lady to accompany you...... The slave would rather exchange her life for the lady's ......"
Yu Ruoxu sighed, "Xiu'er......"
She couldn't help but look up at the sky, the sun was in full bloom, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
Anger, unwillingness, despair...... The emotions surging in his chest seemed to have risen to the extreme, but he was so powerless, like a grain of dust, which disappeared in an instant under the sunlight.
She remembered Yu Zhongjun's last words written on his sleeve-
There was nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust.
Daddy was not a believer in Buddhism, but before he died, he wrote down the words of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng.
Thinking of this, Yu Ruoxu frowned, as if she had thought of something, but her thoughts were too complicated, so she could only shake her head slightly and chuckle, "They are all people who are going to die, what do you want to do so much?" ”
"The warden has arrived—"
The surroundings fell silent instantly, and Yu Ruoxu looked up when he heard the sound, only to see Xu Xingyong, Dingyuan Hou and Wei Yuanli pacing up to the prison beheading platform and sitting at the desk.
"Master Hou is really righteous enough to kill relatives......"
"That is, even the in-laws can do it?"
"Have you forgotten, what did Master Hou do to his father-in-law Lin family before?"
"Oh, as soon as Lord Zou and Lord Yu fall, will they be abolished?"
The voices of the people entered Yu Ruoxu's ears, she smiled coldly, and glanced sideways at Dingyuanhou.
Marquis Dingyuan sat on the throne, and his expression was still the same majesty. In front of him was a red lacquer tube with the prison order, blood-red, which looked shocking in the harsh sunlight.
Noticing Yu Ruoxu's gaze, Dingyuan Hou also looked at her.
A talented woman full of fame...... Dingyuan Hou picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip leisurely, and thought, it's a pity that it's Yu Zhongjun's daughter.
"The hour is up—execution—"
With the order of the prisoner, the executioner raised his knife, his eyes were fierce, and he swung down-
The warm blood splashed Yu Ruoxu's head and face.
The only twenty-three remaining members of the Yu family are falling one by one's side.
Blood splattered from his neck like a gushing spring, and the blood-stained head rolled to the side, and the terrified people fled as if they had seen the most terrible of evil things.
Before Xiu'er died, she cried out, "Miss-slave will come to serve Miss again in the next life-"
The crying stopped abruptly, and Xiu'er's headless body fell limply in a pool of blood.
Yu Ruoxu's face was as pale as a ghost, no different from the prison clothes on his body. The sky was spinning in front of her, and she only felt the sound of the wind whistling in her ears, as if the blade had reached her neck.
"Bell-"
The sound of metal clashing pierced her ears, and there was an uproar around her, and in the chaos, someone dragged her up and shouted, "Ruoxu! “
Yu Ruoxu almost couldn't believe her eyes, "Liang Jin?!" “
How could he be here?!
In the distance, there was a roar of Dingyuan Hou's anger, "Rebel! But Liang Jin didn't seem to hear it, picked her up and got on the horse quickly. Yu Ruoxu's head was buried in his arms, and he only heard the sound of ping-pong weapons colliding in his ears, as well as a noisy roar and screaming around him.
Everything in front of me changed so fast that it was like a dream.
"How could you ......," Yu Ruoxu asked.
Liang Jin stretched out his long sword and blocked the attack of the guards at the execution ground with a "bang", and the sound seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth. "I said I would bring you back even if I went to hell!"
After that, the guard behind him shouted, "Lord Shizi, you take Miss Yu to go first, and we will break off!" ”
Liang Jin nodded, swung his sword to kill a bloody path, and galloped away with Yu Ruoxu.
Yu Ruoxu was in severe pain, and before he could speak, Liang Jin gasped, "It's a disaster, the people patrolling the fifth battalion have caught up!" “
"What?"
Liang Jin reined in the horse and hugged her down, "Do you know how to swim in the water?" ”
Yu Ruoxu looked at the Jing'an River a few steps away, "Yes." “
"That's good." Liang Jin nodded, hugged her, and a warm kiss fell on her forehead, "The Jing'an River is flowing downstream, and Yuanzhao will meet you outside the city." “
"Liang Jin ......"
Before he finished speaking, Liang Jin let go of his hand, and Yu Ruoxu fell into the Jing'an River with a "bang", and drifted away along the water to the outside of the city.
The choking river water poured into her ears and nose, but she still heard Liang Jin's last words-
Hurry up and don't come back. (To be continued.) )
