277 Exposure (5)
Seeing her husband like this, Jimmy touched his face distressedly and asked, "Are you hurt, why don't you look good?" ”
"I'm not hurt, I'm just tired." Alem indifferently pushed Jimmy away and wanted to go to sleep.
"You're in a bad mood?" Jimmy followed him, "because of ...... Defeated? ”
Alem didn't speak, and spread the quilt on his own.
"Alem!" Jimmy grabbed Alem's arm, "Don't be sad, it's not your fault that you lost the battle. ”
Alem was pestered by Jimmy, impatient, turned around and said, "I'm not sad because I lost. It's just because I saw someone wrong and my heart hurts. ”
Jimmy naturally heard who Alem was talking about. She sighed, "You mean Qin Luo." ”
Alem snorted coldly, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
"When I first found out that Qin Luo was a member of Southern Chu, I was also surprised and angry. But then I thought about it, he was from Chu, and in order to keep his country, he actually did nothing wrong. ”
"What a woman's opinion." Alam said angrily, "You women are so soft-hearted, and it is indeed the kindness of women. ”
"What do you want to do now?" Jimmy was also a little angry, "Do you want to take a sword and go to the prison to kill Qin Luo?" ”
Although Alem was angry, he still couldn't do it if he really let him slash Qin Luo. He circled around the tent depressedly, and said angrily: "I thought he was our friend, but I didn't expect it to be from Nanchu." For Xiang Qiang's sake, I won't plead, I won't go to see him in prison, and I won't watch the punishment. I just thought that I never knew Qin Luo. ”
Jimmy also wanted her husband to persuade Tuoba to show mercy to his subordinates, but now it seems that there is no drama. She shook her head and said helplessly: "You men, you are really ruthless, you are really ruthless." ”
The Northern Wei army suddenly withdrew its troops from Wuping Pass, leaving the defender of Wuping Pass, Zhang's second monk, confused. They were ready to defend to the death, but they didn't expect the Northern Wei Dynasty to suddenly give up.
However, at that time, Tuoba Yan blocked all the news, and the people in the Central Plains didn't know what great things Qin Luo had done.
By the time they knew, it was too late......
In the Golden Palace, several Tuoba clan elders have been discussing how to execute Qin Luo. Tuoba leaned back in the dragon chair with his eyes closed, listening to the buzzing noise below.
"Ling Chi is executed, Ling Chi must be executed." Someone suggested.
"Or use the bag to torture, trample to death. This is the harshest punishment of our ancestors, and it is dedicated to killing those who have rebelled. ”
Sac punishment, an ancient punishment of Xiang Qiang, put people into sacks, seal the openings, and let the horses trample the sacks back and forth until all the bones of the people are trampled and crushed into meat sauce.
"Those are all antiques from hundreds of years ago, and we are now Great Wei, and there are clear laws and regulations, so let's be executed according to Ling Chi." Some people think that the punishment is too cruel, they are now the Great Wei Kingdom, not a backward and barbaric tribe.
"How can we have an executioner who can cut more than 3,000 prisoners and not die?" The man asked rhetorically.
Indeed, Xiang Qiang's previous punishment was relatively simple and harsh, unlike the Central Plains, which had extremely torturous torture and did not allow people to die immediately.
"Do you want to peel the skin?" Someone said, "I remember that when Mozang Dashi was executed, he used to skin them. ”
"Yes, yes." Several people nodded in agreement.
"What's the matter of peeling, it's better to be Lingchi." Others disagreed and insisted on Ling Chi's execution.
Tuoba Yan was on the dragon seat, his face became darker and darker, he was finally fed up with the disturbing quarrels of the people below, and slapped the table with a "snap", "Enough, the quarrel is like this, what kind of system." ”
All the Tuoba clan elders shut up, and now they dare not consider themselves elders in the face of Tuoba Yan, the founding emperor.
"Burn at the stake." Tuoba Yan said, "This matter is settled, you all step down." ”
Burning at the stake, although it is not like Ling Chi or skinning, makes the prisoner feel both painful and humiliated. However, Tuoba Yan had already spoken, and those elders didn't dare to say a word more.
The result of Qin Luo's sentence to be burned at the stake spread all over the grassland at once. Jimmy and Yeletian couldn't believe it, could it be that Tuoba's cruel side broke out again? After Alem heard Jimmy say the word "burned", the mare's milk tea in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and "Bar Haw" was shattered.
"Alem?" Jimmy looked at him strangely.
"My hand slipped." Alemu squatted down and looked numbly at the debris on the ground, "My wrist hurts." ”
When the intermediates heard about Tuoba's verdict, they were about to go crazy. Liu Changfeng almost went to the prison to rob the prisoner single-handedly, but was stopped by others. They hurriedly persuaded: "If you go like this, you will be sent to death, and it will not help you." ”
"I can't watch Qin Luo being burned to death, I'll go crazy."
"Long wind, long wind, you have to be calm. We are weak, and now we have no choice but to turn to the Central Plains Rebel Army and let them bring the army to the rescue. ”
"Will they go deep into the grassland for one person?"
"Qin Luo is a hero, it was Qin Luo who kept Wuping Pass, do they want to see death and not save it?
"It's too late, it's really too late." Liu Changfeng hugged his head and cried, "Even if the rebel army in the Central Plains is willing to save Qin Luo, it will take several days for them to rush over." Besides, how much time does it take for us to run horses and send messages, coming and going? ”
"Let me give it a try." The woman said firmly, "I will go to the Central Plains to deliver the message, hurry up, sleep without sleep, and I will be able to reach Wuping Pass in three days." I must have rushed to the execution and brought the army to rescue him. ”
General Kutulu was not too surprised when he learned of the verdict. Before the verdict came down, he had gone to the Golden Palace to ask Tuoba Yan how to deal with Qin Luo.
At that time, Tuoba Yan looked very decadent, and said in frustration: "I...... I don't know. ”
"Don't know?" General Kutulu was puzzled.
"Have you ever been betrayed by someone you trust the most?" Tuoba Yan asked, "I treat him as a friend, a master, and a confidant, and what does he treat me for?" ”
Only then did Hu Tulu realize that Qin Luo's significance to Tuoba Yan was so significant, and his betrayal was such a heavy blow to Tuoba Yan.
Now, Tuoba Yan wants to execute Qin Luo, and General Kutulu fully understands. But why he chose to burn at the stake is something to ponder.
One dark night, the guards of Danyang City Prison suddenly noticed that a person wearing a black cloak covering most of his face appeared here on horseback.
"Hey, what are you doing, the emperor has decreed that no one is allowed to approach here. If you get any closer, I'll let the soldiers arrest you." ”
However, the man in black did not seem to hear the threat of the guards at all, and still walked towards the prison unhurriedly. The caretaker cursed and was ready to call someone.
However, when he took a few steps closer and saw the eyes of the man in black, he didn't dare to shout or move for a moment. The man in black said indifferently, "Take me to see Qin Luo." ”
