Chapter 852 Poisoned Wine
The capital city god temple is a temple dedicated to the god of war, originally called the city god temple, after Nurhachi established the capital in Shengjing, the city god temple was renamed "the capital city god temple", the scale has also expanded a lot, there are a lot of incense on weekdays, but the night is inaccessible, although the Jurchens changed their name to the Manchus, they still don't like the nightlife, except in bed.
Hong Chengchou was imprisoned in the temple of the capital city god, and was closely guarded by soldiers with yellow flags.
The sky darkened imperceptibly, the temperature dropped sharply, and there were no lights in the room, only a wood brazier emitting faint sparks......
Hong Chengchou sat alone on the wooden bench, his eyes were hollow, there was no trace of blood on his face, his belly was already hungry, and he didn't eat or drink for three days and three nights......
The defeat of "Songshan" has passed many days, he no longer wants to think about it, but it often lingers in his mind, he knows that his own time is running out, in the Shengjing of the Tartars, he really has nothing to be nostalgic for, if he still leads the army in the next life, he would rather join the Mandate of Heaven Army......
Perhaps only the Mandate of Heaven army can deal with the Tartars outside the gate......
Hong Chengchou sighed softly, but his body was motionless, he didn't know, what method the Tartars used to execute themselves, maybe it was a knife, like they usually do on the battlefield, cut off their heads with a knife, a bloody arrow, and then they didn't feel anything.
Although he wanted to leave the whole corpse, it was okay to cut off his head, the war in Liaodi was rotten on his hands, he had no face to see the ancestors and ancestors, his head was gone, and when he arrived at the Nai He Bridge, he couldn't see anything anyway!
The Tartars are different from the Mandate of Heaven Army, the Mandate of Heaven Army succeeded, but it was just a change of dynasty, and once the Tartars entered the fortress, or even entered the Central Plains like the Mongols, it was a disaster for the Han people......
However, it is useless to think about this, he is already a prisoner of war of the Tartars, and he will soon be reunited with his brothers who are sleeping in Matsuyama......
Hong Chengchou slowly closed his eyes, he didn't want to think about anything, death is the best relief!
The door opened with a "squeak", Hong Chengchou thought that the wind blew the door open, so he opened his eyes and wanted to get up and close the door, but he didn't expect his eyes to be dizzy, and the lights in the room suddenly flickered.
Hong Chengchou hurriedly closed his eyes, sat upright again, and said unconsciously: "You're here to persuade you again, right?" I don't know who is here this time, this Huang Taiji is really a thief......"
He heard in a trance that the visitor first closed the temple door to block the cold wind leaking outside, and then stumbled, as if he was lighting a lamp and candle.
Don't waste your heart in vain, it's delusional to let Bendok cooperate with you Tartars, Bendo, who has read the books of the sages! Hong Chengchou was motionless, but judging from the voice, it seemed that there was only one person who came in, and he still ignored it, leaving that person busy with something alone.
Suddenly, I smelled a strange fragrance in my nose, thought it was an illusion, and sniffed hard in secret, yes, it was really a strange fragrance, if there was none, at the beginning it was like a cloud of mist, rolling forward, but it seemed to be weak after the succession, and there was a fault, just when you thought it was over, but it was a thick fog rolling, endless......
Hong Chengchou was puzzled, thinking that the Tartar was using some kind of drug such as "Ecstasy", and he was surprised, so he slowly opened his eyes.
He was suddenly taken aback, less than two steps in front of him, there was a pretty maid, her hair was wet and shiny, her face was #flushed, and she seemed to have just taken a bath.
Wearing a long pale pink wide-sleeved long skirt made her look white and plain, and with a peach green cotton and linen belt, she looked frivolous and cheerful.
Hong Chengchou secretly thought, after all, she is a Tartar woman, if the belt is replaced with slippery silk, it will be put on the painting boat of the Qinhuai River, and it can be sold for a good price!
"General Hong is awake?" The pretty maid was full of smiles, her phoenix eyes were full of spring, and she blinked her eyelids mischievously, "The maid thought that General Hong was asleep, so she didn't dare to disturb for a while...... Maybe General Hong is thinking about some major military affairs, and the servant can only wait......"
Before she finished speaking, she turned around, moved a small square table in the corner, put it in front of Hong Chengchou, wiped it with a cloth towel, and seemed to be still not at ease, so she gritted her teeth and wiped it with her sleeve before giving up.
Hong Chengchou sighed in his heart, still closing his eyes, "Another beauty trick?" Can you change some new tricks? ”
"Poof!" The pretty maid laughed unconsciously, "With such an ugly posture as a maid, you dare to use the beauty trick on General Hong?" Aren't you afraid of polluting General Hong's ears and eyes? After a pause, seeing that Hong Chengchou still hadn't opened his eyes, he suddenly turned into a resentful expression, his eyebrows and eyes were gloomy, and he said lightly: "The emperor respects you for being a person with integrity, so he is ready to fulfill General Hong's ......."
"Huh?" Hong Chengchou opened his eyes again, "What are you going to do?" ”
"General Hong is the minister of the Ming Emperor, both civil and military, strategic, rare talent......" The pretty maid said while opening the dining niche, taking out a glass of mare's milk wine, and placing it on the square table that had just been wiped with his sleeve, "The emperor knows that General Hong is loyal to the Ming Dynasty," she seemed to be unbearable, and her face showed infinite grievances, "Therefore, the emperor plans to fulfill General Hong and let the maid send a cup of poisonous wine......"
Poison? Hong Chengchou's heart moved, he always had to come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly! However, poisoned wine is not bad, it's better than having your head cut off!
He didn't hesitate, he took the poisonous wine, and was about to pour it, not wanting to shout suddenly: "Wait! ”
Hong Chengchou's right hand stopped in the air and said coldly: "Does Huang Taiji have anything for you to tell me?" ”
"No," the pretty maid shook her head slightly, there was infinite pity in her big beautiful eyes, and even her tone changed, "General Hong, this is a cup of poisonous wine, once you drink it...... The general's talent was just in vain......"
Hong Chengchou said: "Go back and tell Huang Taiji that I am a defeated general on the battlefield...... I thank him so much for his fulfillment! Without hesitation, he dried the mare's milk wine in one gulp, and as soon as his fingers loosened, the wine cup fell to the ground and broke into countless pieces.
The pretty maid was thoughtful, lowered her head and looked at the fragments, some surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she changed her smile to a smile, and said with a grin: "General Hong is really a man, and the maid is also admired in his heart, but General Hong is about to ......" suddenly changed her resentful eyes, as if it was she who drank the poisonous wine, "This is a meal made by the maid himself, General Hong is full, and on the Huangquan Road, it is better to be reincarnated as soon as possible......"
This!
Hong Chengchou knew that he was going to die, but he didn't expect that the one who accompanied him through the last part of his life turned out to be a Tartar maidservant!
Although she has a low status, she has delicate eyebrows and eyes, delicate and lovely, and even her complexion is so white......
Hong Chengchou took the rice bowl, took two bites of three bites, ate the food cleanly, and put the bowl down, and the belly was not filled, but the pretty maid took out a big bowl of soup from the food niche, walked over slowly, and handed it directly to Hong Chengchou's hand, and said with a wry smile on his face: "This is a little clear soup made by the servant himself, General Hong will see if it is suitable for the appetite of the Han people!" ”
Hong Chengchou took it, tasted it, nodded slightly at the pretty maid, and then drank the soup, feeling an astringent taste, "What kind of soup is this?" ”
"Ginseng soup, the old ginseng in Changbai Mountain, boiled for more than two hours, very replenished ......" The pretty maid put away the bowls, threw them in the dining niche, and turned around and sat down beside Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou was already waiting for death, but he didn't expect that before he died, there would be such a beautiful maid to give him a funeral, and the last meal was made by herself......
He turned his face sideways to look at this beautiful and lovely servant, let out a long sigh, and said, "What's your name?" ”
"The maid's name is Da Yu'er," Da Yu'er also turned her face sideways, looked at Hong Chengchou quietly, looked at each other, and didn't speak for a while, after a long time, she tilted her head and leaned on Hong Chengchou's shoulder, "Does General Hong want to thank the servant?" No thanks, the servant also admires General Hong very much, and it is an honor for the servant to do something small for General Hong! ”
"Da Yu'er?" Hong Chengchou didn't feel like a Tartar, but like a Han name, at this time, there was a burst of heat in the lower abdomen, he knew that the poisonous wine was about to attack, so he sat up straight, he didn't know what kind of poison the Tartar used, and how long he had to toss himself.
Da Yu'er leaned on Hong Chengchou's shoulder, naturally she couldn't feel the changes in Hong Chengchou's abdomen, and said busily: "This is the Chinese name that the maid gave herself, the maid has always admired the culture of the Han people, not only learned the Chinese dialect, but also gave herself a Chinese name!" ”
"Ao," Hong Chengchou responded, she is a maidservant, what does it matter if she knows her real name or not? I'm going to die...... However, the heat from the lower abdomen was tight and loose, but there was no sign of aggravation, he just felt the heat, but there was no pain, and he didn't feel suspicious, "Da Yu'er, what kind of poison did you give me to drink?" Why haven't I had any seizures until now? ”
Da Yu'er's body trembled, and she hurriedly got up and knelt down at Hong Chengchou's feet, "Ask the general to atone for his sins!" ”
"Atonement? What are your sins? Hong Chengchou was even more suspicious, "You are acting on orders, besides, a glass of poisonous wine is the best destination for this governor, this governor does not blame you, but thanks to you for making this governor a full ghost." ”
"General Hong," Da Yu'er knelt in front of Hong Chengchou, still refusing to get up, "The general has a lot, if the servant is exempted from the crime, the servant will dare to tell the truth of the matter......
"I'm all going to die, what else can't I forgive?" Hong Chengchou concentrated his energy, tried to suppress the restlessness in his body, smiled faintly on his face, and said, "Say, what are your crimes?" Could it be that you secretly brought me this cup of poisonous wine from your emperor? ”
Hong Chengchou was still sitting on the long wooden bench, he was worried that once he got up, his body would not be able to control it, and he would fall, so he just reached out and pulled Da Yu'er up.
After Da Yu'er got up, she didn't wait to speak, but returned to the place where she sat just now, still leaning on Hong Chengchou's body.
Hong Chengchou only felt a burst of strange fragrance in his nose, it turned out that Da Yuer's head was less than a handful away from his nose, the fragrance was so attractive, it was still very rare, could it be that this woman could exude a body fragrance that was different from ordinary people?
Da Yu'er twisted her body, originally leaning on Hong Chengchou's body, but this would be her hands around Hong Chengchou's waist and burying her head in his chest, the fragrance became stronger, "Servant...... The servant respects General Hong, and the servant doesn't want General Hong to die so inexplicably, so the servant has the courage to change the poisoned wine given by the emperor, and there is no poison in the glass of wine just now......"
