Chapter 450: Beheading for public display
"Your Majesty is praising us, but it's just a gesture, so why bother." Su Zhiyu smiled modestly and said that he didn't need to take this matter to heart, but looked up and observed the mind of the man in front of him.
If the Xiongnu kings had taken this matter into account, then the deal they proposed would have been successful, and if it was just an arrogant and domineering way to show off what they had done, it would only make the landlord feel disgusted.
Sure enough, the next sentence of the king of the Huns was, "You two don't be modest, say, whatever reward you want, as long as it is appropriate, Lao Tzu can give it to you." ”
After hearing this, Du Ruonan fixed his face and spoke, "We want to ask the king for a trading condition, and we hope that the matter of making peace with our Princess Qingqiu can be canceled here...... We'll ......"
"Presumptuous, you two think you are something, and you dare to talk to me about these conditions!" Before Du Ruonan finished speaking, he was interrupted by the king in front of him.
"Don't think that you two can act so recklessly just because of this flood, and someone will take them down, these two must be trying to sow discord between our Xiongnu and Qingqiu, take them into custody, and then send them down!"
Feng Ming was still like the etiquette and greetings of Mu Feng before, and the next second was the anger sent into Da Lao.
"Zhiyu, what should I do? Now that they are heavily guarded, what are we going to do? Du Ruonan was always afraid of affecting the man in front of him, and he pressed against the man's chest and heard the powerful heartbeat to calm down.
"What are you afraid of, fool? You man, I am still afraid of this, don't be afraid, the bridge to the bow of the boat is naturally straight. ”
"You're really a fool, people are obviously going straight to the bridge!" The two are like two glowing fireflies who have found their companions, even in the face of such a situation, they can still make each other feel warm and no longer afraid.
Sure enough, three days later, the king of the Huns announced that the two of them would be beheaded for public display to set an example for the people of the world.
"Ruonan, if no one saves us at that time, believe me, I will definitely take it out." Su Zhiyu actually didn't have a bottom in his heart, but he always felt that the two of them would not end there, so he could comfort the woman in front of him with such words.
The two of them were pressed on the platform, wearing shackles on their hands, and the whole person was gray-faced, without a little of the old look, but in the crowd, it still looked like two people with extraordinary appearances.
Those people saw that the great benefactor who helped them a few days ago had now become a prisoner, and they all brought their relatives and friends to watch.
"My lord, you can't kill the two of them, the two of them have done so many things for us Huns, not only to treat floods, but they also taught us how to grow rice, and that piece of our village is what they taught us......"
The cheers of the people came and went, and everyone was desperately demanding that the two people be left behind, and in an instant some people even came up to stop the scene, and it became very chaotic for a while, and the officers and soldiers wanted to prevent the people from coming up to rob people, and on the other hand, they had to guard the two people from escaping.
"My lord, the scene is chaotic now, let's go to the court to ask the king to resign!"
The lord rode his horse and told the king about it.
"The king said, since the people recognize the two of you as gods, so let you go this time, and I hope that the two of you will be grateful for the kindness that the king has given you, and don't say some rebellious words."
The two were eventually taken to the palace again, only this time it was noticeably different from the last time, this time it was obviously rude to treat them as criminals.
"Du Ruonan, Lao Tzu forgives you that Lao Tzu has a big chest, but what about it, thinking that you can help our people by doing things as a woman, so you are a female official, okay?"
"Your Majesty, I'm just a little woman, I can't do anything, if there is anything I need my help with, I can stay here, but I can't be here."
When the king heard this, he was not furious, but sneered twice. There seemed to be something in his eyes, and he was still noticed by the two of them.
"Well, since you don't know how to lift Lao Tzu and there is no way, you can live tonight first, and then talk about it tomorrow. After saying that, he left, but his eyes became more and more treacherous and vicious.
"Su Zhiyu, we can't stay here any longer, we have to leave quickly, there must be something wrong with that king!" Du Ruonan is familiar with that kind of calculating eyes, and at this moment, he just wants to leave here safely with the two of them.
"I know, I was just wondering how we could get away with the route we came from."
The two finally took advantage of the darkness to knock out the two men who were guarding them.
"Zhiyu, the Huns are really fierce, I just beat me twice before I was knocked out, I was afraid that he would make a sound."
"It doesn't matter, as long as we can get out of here tonight, we will definitely be able to return to Qingqiu safely." 18
After a night of escaping, the two finally left the vicinity of the palace, Du Ruonan accidentally tripped when crossing the bamboo forest, and Su Zhiyu ran forward with him in his arms.
Du Ruonan inexplicably felt a sense of security, this man has never abandoned himself no matter when and where, whether it is safety or danger, glory or poverty, the two of them will be together forever, this is the affection she has always wanted.
"Su Zhiyu, I think I'm really lucky to be able to meet you, maybe it's my ancestral grave that is smoking." Du Ruonan giggled in the man's arms.
"It's not, it's really not easy to meet me, so ah, you have to cherish me quickly." Su Zhiyu also smiled, the woman in his arms made him feel a sense of fulfillment, he had never felt that a person could walk into his heart so easily in modern times, as if he didn't need to say too much, just a look and poured his heart.
On the night they both left, a man in black infiltrated the palace and secretly took the princess away. The princess's roar was dissipated in the night wind, and no one knew where the princess had gone, and three disappeared overnight, who had never belonged here.
The two finally escaped from the Huns completely, but saw a carriage on the way. The fleet was very strange, everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to look up, and they didn't even make much noise when they walked, as if they were pulling some kind of sky-high treasure.
"Zhiyu, have you noticed that the fleet is very strange, it always feels familiar, will there be any conspiracy?"
The princess in the carriage heard the familiar voices of the two men, but her whole body was restrained, and she could not make a sound, and then she took the handkerchief that had fallen to the seat next to her mouth in her mouth, and threw it out with the curtain open on the top of her head.
The two of them soon noticed the handkerchief, the begonia flower embroidered on the handkerchief, which was the love flower between the princess and her sweetheart.
"Su Zhiyu, let's keep up with them! The princess is set inside! Du Ruonan shouted.
Su Zhiyu quickly followed and stopped in front of the car.
"Mingren doesn't say secret words, as long as you leave the woman in the carriage, the two of us will let you go, otherwise you will be killed!" Su Zhiyu was particularly charming when he laughed, but as long as he squinted his eyes slightly, it made people feel very scary.
"Who are you? We are sitting in our young lady, so don't be nosy, otherwise you will only burn yourself and harm yourself when the time comes! ”
The two sides were tense and-for-tat, and soon a fight broke out. Su Zhiyu and Du Ruonan have always been first-class masters, and it is naturally not a problem to deal with a few subordinates who embroider their legs.
When the men saw that they were invincible, they quickly threw down the carriage and hurried away. Du Ruonan hurriedly opened the curtain of the carriage, and sure enough, she saw the princess tied up with tears in her eyes.
Su Zhiyu used a dagger to cut those fixed and firm ropes, "Don't worry, princess, the two of us will take you home." ”
"Ahh I'm so scared, I don't know where they're taking me, I'm so scared! The princess kept crying, and when they were locked up in the house late at night, and could not see the light, it was as if she had just lost her freedom, and she was terrified.
"Princess, the two of us came to the Huns this time to take you home, since they have done such a thing, we don't need to listen to their explanations, we have a reason to take you home."
Su Zhiyu strongly settled down the princess's heart, and the three of them went to the city to take a carriage, and then set foot on the way back to the palace.
After returning to Qingqiu, the lord of Qingqiu had a sad face, as if he saw something that should not have appeared. "You two are so rash to bring the princess here, how do we get along with the relationship between our two countries!"
Su Zhiyu handed over the topographic map of the previous Xiongnu Palace to the Qingqiu lord in front of him. "This is all the road maps that the two of us got when we went to the Xiongnu before, as for whether there is a secret road in their palace, I don't know, but this is already a very complete topographic map."
After the lord of Qingqiu saw the topographic map, his heart was instantly secured, as long as he could get the shortcomings of the other party, he naturally did not need to be afraid anymore.
"In that case, you two should spend more time with the princess." The lord of Qingqiu didn't know what was wrong with him, he obviously missed that daughter very much, but now that he was close at hand, he didn't dare to see him, he knew that he was guilty.
As soon as the princess returned, she went to find her sweetheart non-stop. The next day, Du Ruonan and Su Zhiyu were invited to a banquet by the princess's sweetheart.
"You two are adults I am willing to follow in my life, please accept my worship, this time the princess can come back because of the two rescues." The sweetheart solemnly saluted the two, and the starlight in his eyes was dotted, it should have been not long after crying.
Du Ruonan hurriedly helped up the man in front of him. "The princess is also my friend, we help him, this is what we want to do, you, don't feel guilty."
The sweetheart filled the wine glass with wine, and then drank it all, "Now that the princess has returned, I have to plan for the future, but if the princess follows me, I am afraid that the princess will suffer." ”
Some affection is like this, one party is willing to suffer with one party, but the other party is unwilling, and that party always feels that the person deserves better.
