Chapter 256: The End of the Road
Since many days ago, Zhang Chun and Yang Ci have not come to see him again, and they seem to have completely forgotten him. But it's okay, every time Sima Bao sees the two of them, he can't control his emotions, often people have already left, he is so angry that he trembles violently, and he can't sleep for half a night, he hates Zhang Chunyang from the heart, and he would rather be trapped in the house alone, and he doesn't want to see that hateful face for a moment.
"What time is it, why haven't you brought food yet?"
Now Sima Bao's fat body has lost a lot, and he has lost some weight and darkened. Although he was haggard, he seemed to be very energetic, and his eyes were yellowed on his face, but there was a little more light that he had not had before. Normally, at this time, food would be delivered, but now his stomach was rumbling, and there was no movement outside.
"The Lone King is hungry! Do you hear that? Are you all deaf! ”
Sima Bao couldn't hold back his anger, rushed to the closed door, and shouted loudly outside, but still no one paid attention to him. He roared in anger, but saw the door suddenly and rudely pushed open.
"Why is it only being delivered now...... Well? It's you! ”
Several soldiers came in, but the leaders were Zhang Chun and Yang Ci. Sima Bao was stunned, and then he was furious, and every time he saw these two people, he felt that he had been stabbed in the heart, and he was bleeding again.
"Get out! The Lone King doesn't want to see you! Don't even think about the seal of the lonely king! The rage seemed to burn Sima Bao's beard, and he jumped as if he had been eaten by a wild beast.
This time, Zhang Chun had no adverse reactions. Yang Ci beside him had a gloomy face, but every time he looked at Sima Bao, he quickly moved away. The four or five soldiers in the back, all of whom were Zhang Chun and Yang Ci's henchmen, were also silent at the moment, and the air seemed to be a little frozen.
Zhang Chun grinned harshly and smiled wryly: "The king is angry." I'm not here to ask for the seal. ”
Sima Bao pointed with a halberd: "Do you still have the face to call me king?" Get lost! No matter what you're here for, you don't want to listen or don't want to listen, get out! ”
Sima Bao's roar seemed to lift the low roof. Zhang Chun turned a deaf ear, took two steps closer, stared at Sima Bao quite rudely, and said with the look of an old cat teasing the mouse: "Don't lose your temper like this, the king had better listen to me." Gao Yue sent a letter asking me to release you and send it over, but I wasn't stupid enough to agree. But when I refused to do so, I couldn't resist his army. So, what do you think I'm going to do? ”
After Sima Bao's initial excitement, he also felt that something was wrong. Zhang Chun's complexion was already unscrupulous and ruthless, and he no longer knew how to be more restrained as before. And Yang Ci's eyes were dodgy, and his expression was very unnatural, which must have been a great loss. In addition, the soldiers who followed closely behind were obviously cold-blooded veterans who had killed countless people, and they did not hide from looking at them, but those eyes always felt as if they were looking at some prey with nowhere to escape.
"You...... How are you going to be? ”
Sima Bao's anger seemed to dissipate suddenly, and unconsciously, a deep uneasiness swelled in his heart.
Zhang Chun took a breath and spit out heavily. He rubbed his chin full of scum, and said gloomily: "If the king happens to die of illness at this time, can't I refuse Gao Yue in a righteous and bright way?" ”
At this time, Sima Bao still didn't understand Zhang Chun's intention! He groaned, only to feel that his legs were weak, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, and staggered to sit on the edge of the thin and simple bed.
Zhang Chun...... Do you want to do rebellion? ”
Sima Bao was full of anger, and was immediately soaked by the cold air in his heart. He finally calmed down a little and asked in a trembling voice, but Zhang Chun didn't answer, just squinted at him coldly.
Sima Bao's throat and eyes were dry, he swallowed a large mouthful of saliva, and said in a mournful voice: "In the past, when you were fifteen years old, you served as my bodyguard in the palace. That night, I dozed off, which caused a fire in the storeroom. My father wanted to kill you, but it was I who persuaded you so hard that I saved your life. On weekdays, I treat you like a brother, and I share any benefits with you...... Later, your father passed away, and as the son of the king, I personally went to help you with the funeral and take care of the funeral. Over the years, I've been so kind to you, Zhang Si! Have you forgotten everything? ”
Zhang Chun still didn't say a word, and the cold and hard lines on his face did not soften in the slightest because of this. Sima Bao saw that he couldn't move him, and raised his eyes to look at Yang Ci again: "Yang Ci, how did the Lone King treat you in the past?" Why do this to me! ”
Yang Ci couldn't stand Sima Bao's grievance voice, cleared his throat, sighed, and said: "King, we are also forced by current affairs, so we have to make this decision. The king will forgive me. ”
If you want to kill someone's life in person, and you want the other party to be generous and forgiving, where is there such a truth in the world! Sima Bao was angry first and then frightened, and his heart was like a vat of cold water poured wildly, and he couldn't help but feel cold and creepy.
"The king's status is precious, it is extraordinary, and he can't be slashed, so use this!"
Zhang Chun beckoned, and a soldier came up and threw a thick black hemp rope at Sima Bao's feet, and everyone came forward to watch tightly.
Sima Bao shouted, and hurriedly moved to the side to dodge, as if the hemp rope was a poisonous snake that could jump up and bite at any time.
"It's come to this, and it's useless to say more. The king, please go on your own way! ”
Zhang Chun's eyes shot a terrifying fierce light. He has made a decision not to do anything. In the face of absolute strong force and practical self-interest, the young companions who used to get along day and night, the friendly subordinates who obeyed their words, the noble and majestic kings, etc., can be ruthlessly abandoned, and the people in front of him are just weak lambs who are slaughtered by him.
Sima Bao raised his frightened eyes and looked pleadingly, but no one paid attention to it, and Zhang Chun had already begun to urge loudly. Forced to ask for his life by a group of heavily armed killers, Sima Bao sat on the edge of the bed, isolated and helpless. He gasped, was silent for a moment, and then whispered, "Lonely...... I was so hungry in my lonely belly that I wanted to eat something. ”
Death was close at hand, like an invisible bloody jaw hidden in the void, which would suddenly pounce and devour him completely. Sima Bao had already realized that today might not be spared, but the instinctive consciousness of survival still made him do his best to delay time, even if his life could only be extended for a moment.
Zhang Chun said impatiently: "If you have to die, why use food!" ”
Sima Bao shook his head, and in addition to the strong fear in his heart, he actually swelled up with a little anger. He looked at Zhang Chun with wide eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "In any case, you and you were also masters and servants, and today you insist on dying alone, but you don't even want to serve a bowl of food on the road, do you have to be a starving ghost?" Zhang Chun! Why didn't you see that you were such a cold-blooded and vicious dog thing! ”
Where is Zhang Chun willing to listen to him, even if he said sharply: "Talking nonsense is just trying to delay time, Sima Bao!" If you're so uninteresting, do you want me to do it! ”
Hearing that he had already spoken out by his name, Sima Bao was desperate, but also extremely hateful, like a trapped beast, he stood up suddenly, stared at his bloodshot eyes, shouted hysterically, and spittled sideways: "Lonely will never cut himself!" Kill the Lord with your hands! ”
Zhang Chunsen was as cold as a ghost, beckoned his hand, and the two sturdy soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward, holding Sima Bao's arm tightly on the left and right. Knowing that this last moment had finally come, Sima Bao's eyes widened and he struggled desperately, but after all, he couldn't help but be like a wolf and a tiger and a strong soldier. After a dull fight, Sima Bao was bleeding from the corners of his mouth, twisted his body and was held down, gasping heavily, and half-kneeling on the ground.
Two more people came up and silently put the hemp rope around Sima Bao's neck. Sima Bao whimpered and screamed: "Sad! Hate also! I won't be blind! ”
But the two ends of the rope immediately tightened, Sima Bao was dying and convulsed violently, and his feet were frantically stepping on the ground, but it was to no avail that he was firmly suppressed. After a while, his eyes burst out, and his purple tongue drooped out, and his whole body was soft and finally his breath was gone.
Several of the soldiers were sweating profusely, panting and letting go of their hands. Everyone stopped talking, and gathered around to look at Sima Bao who had fallen to the ground speechlessly, and there was a dead silence in the dark room.
