As soon as Chimaru saw Ah Feng, he beckoned and said cordially, "Were you also brought here to be executed?" A smile appeared on his round face. ︾

"Chimaru Childe."

"Ah Feng, I did this for my father and brother."

"Are both the lord and the young master safe?"

"Shikuro told me that because of Ieyasu's support, they would soon return to Nagashino Castle."

"That's great."

"Ah Feng, I've bothered you, please forgive me."

"The slave understands." Thinking that he might be released, Feng began to think about a new way to die. If he was released by Takeda Katsuyori, he would be martyred for Chimaru. Yes, just do it!

In order to make Feng happy, Chimaru suddenly said something unexpected. "Not only did you and I successfully escape the clutches of the enemy for your father and brother, but we were also praised by Ieyasu, who promised to add 3,000 new collars to my family, and also promised Miss Akame's marriage to my brother."

"Miss Turtle?"

"Ieyasu's daughter, be my brother's wife......" Chimaru smiled happily in a brisk tone.

……

That night, Ah Feng didn't feel a trace of sleep. Lying in the Vajra Hall, Zhenchang's face appeared in front of her eyes from time to time, as well as the face of Kamehime, who she had never met, clear for a while, blurry for a while.

From time to time, the living insect whines sadly, as if lamenting the few journeys it has left. Ah Feng raised his head, and in the dim light, Chimaru and Toranosuke were already asleep. They are fearless. Ah Feng felt that she was too timid, she tried to close her eyes, and finally fell asleep.

After dawn, she simply folded the futon. Place it in the corner of the house. Look out the window.

The courtyard is shrouded in a gentle morning mist. At the end of the old hallway, a black and white wild cat huddled up, its eyes gently closed.

"It's good to be reincarnated as a beast." Ah Feng muttered.

There are too many things to think about in a troubled life. But that was just a waste of effort, and good wishes were never fulfilled and could not be fulfilled at all. Ah Feng suddenly hated Turtle Hime. Not only Kamehime, but she also hated Tokugawa Ieyasu, who gave her daughter to someone else. But incredibly, she doesn't hate the Zhenchang who once defiled her. Then. Suddenly, from the end of the corridor came the sound of sparrows. The wild cat, pretending to be asleep, grabbed a nearby sparrow and stood up.

"Insidious cat." But the wild cat was much less guilty than man, and a sparrow had satisfied it. In contrast, humans with the ability to think are more greedy.

"Feng, what are you thinking?" Chimaru's voice came from behind, and Ah Feng quickly turned around. "You're early."

"Yes. Didn't you sleep all night? ”

"Yes. No. ”

"The woman is ......" Chimaru gently blew out the dying lights and said to Toranosuke, who went to the porch to get the washing water, "What about Toranosuke?" ”

"Toranosuke is a man."

"Ah Feng, you have to die calmly and calmly, and don't let them laugh at the cowardice of our family. Do you understand? ”

Feng nodded. She feared she would be released yesterday, but now the anxiety has dissipated. I'd love to meet Kamehime. If you really see it. I will be jealous. Thinking like this, Ah Feng's mood gradually changed.

"Ah Feng, you have to understand that if we are laughed at, the Oping family will be disgraced for it. It's better to be upright and go to death calmly. ”

Ah Feng suddenly burst into tears. At this time, the Ashigaru samurai, who was in charge of delivering the meal, accompanied Takeda Katsuyori over.

Takeda Katsuyori was wearing a battle uniform, majestic and majestic, holding a whip across the bamboo forest. "Is that the youngest son of Zhenneng?" He asked his entourage.

"I'm Chimaru." Chimaru Tengteng came to the porch and replied dryly.

"Well, you will be put to death today. Do you know why? "Takeda Katsuyori, who is covered in mountain mist, has a figure as vivid as a picture.

"I am the son of Oping Zhenneng, and if I die, I will die, so why do I need to say more!"

"Well, in short, your father's rebellion is a heinous crime, and the punishment for you will be very severe."

"Burn, cut down, listen to the respect!"

"Spine, little bastard!" After Takeda finished speaking, he walked straight to the hillside on his left.

Ah Feng stood behind Chimaru, dumbfounded. Katsuyori Takeda only asked Chimaru, but did not mention Toranosuke and her. Since he clearly said that he wanted to let her go, maybe he would really release her. Chimaru's face blurred in front of her eyes.

Soon, breakfast was served, and as usual, it was miso soup and main food, and Chimaru and Toranosuke ate it slowly.

"This is probably the last breakfast." Chimaru said, "Ah Feng, are you ready?" ”

Toranosuke, who was the same age as Kaede, turned his head with a pale smile on his face. They believe that Ah Feng will also be executed together. Ah Feng didn't answer, just quietly lowered his head.

When seventeen or eighteen samurai arrived, the sun had risen and the morning mist had lifted.

Ah Feng was taken aback, and those samurai made people carry three cross woods, and shouted loudly outside: "Okuhei Chimaru, come out!" ”

Chimaru smiled at Kaede and Toranosuke with a pale face, "I'll go." Then he walked straight out into the bright sunshine. Although he was laughing, he was more sad and sad than crying.

The samurai came over and tied Chimaru's hands, feet, neck, and body with thick ropes, tying him to a cross log. In the meantime, Chimaru has been opening his eyes slightly to shape the blue sky.

"Okupa Toranosuke!"

"I don't have to do it." Toranosuke stared at the other tightly, puffed up his chest, and took the initiative to walk to the side of the cross wood, and lay down on it obediently.

"Mrs. Ohei Zhenchang, Ah Feng!"

Ah Feng couldn't help but weaken his knees and fell to his knees in the corridor. "I'm not Jeongchang's wife! Who said I was his wife? The young master's wife is Tokugawa Kamehime...... "Kaede, who lamented the misfortune of not being able to be a beast in this life, cried.

The samurai jumped up to her. Ah Feng's eyes were demented, and he closed his lips tightly, at the mercy of the other party. Obviously, she was very unhappy and couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her chest was tightly strangled, and she couldn't help but breathe heavily.

"What the woman wants to say. Gagged her! A twenty-seven-eighteen-year-old samurai who looked like a leader said.

Ah Feng hurriedly shook his head, "I won't say anything." What else do I have to say! It's useless to say it, I've got it all. ”

"What should I do?" The ashigaru samurai, who was tying Kaede's head to the cross wood, stopped and asked.

"Leave her alone!" The leader-looking man shouted. "A bunch of betrayers. Hateful! ”

Ah Feng's whole body went limp. The aroma of cypress comes from the back of your head. Hateful! Katsuyori Takeda is the enemy. And men will hate him. But why did he become an enemy, and why did he have to be so cruel? She couldn't figure it out, but she couldn't do anything about it. She closed her eyes slightly, and soon opened them again. Humans, who are inferior to even animals, seem to struggle at the last moment, and hope that the sun will still be so blazing. Ah Feng's gaze suddenly stayed on the towering cedar tree. The cedar trees look so slim in the red and green deciduous forest. It beckoned a shrike bird, which chirped above.

Chimaru and Toranosuke's cross wood had been pushed into the valley ahead, into the valley. A large number of people are watching. Clearly, they are calmly watching the torture that is about to take place. They probably wanted their subordinates to witness this cruel scene, increase their hatred of the enemy, and boost morale. Ah Feng's head could not be rotated, so he could only observe everything around him with the movement of the cross, trying to engrave them in his heart.

Soon the cross stopped shaking. I couldn't see it, but I felt like there were more people around me. Probably the people in the surrounding areas who are farther away, Takeda Katsuyori just wants to make them fearful, so that they dare not rebel.

"Kill them! Treachery! "There was applause from the crowd. There are also those who recite Amitabha.

The final moment had finally arrived, but Feng had not closed his eyes. She wanted to see with her own eyes how the nails were driven into her chest.

"Wait a minute." Then. Suddenly, from behind the crowd came a man's thick voice.

"Stop, stop! Do not come close. ”

"I'm Chimaru Childe's retinue - Kuroya Shikuro Shigekichi."

"What do you want to do?"

"Katsuyori Gong allowed me to come over, I have a word to say to Chimaru Gongi."

Ah Feng burst into tears. Kuroya Shikuro is Chimaru's retinue. He watched Chimaru grow up, and he was undoubtedly full of different emotions for Chimaru. Why did he come to such a place now? Ah Feng was furious. The appearance of Shikuro will not only remind Kaede of his parents, but also evoke the feelings of longing for Chimaru and Toranosuke.

"Senpai," Chimaru's voice came into Kaede's ears, "Chimaru has been taken care of by you for a long time. I will follow your teachings and die with a smile without worry. ”

"Chimaru Childe!" Shikuro's voice trembled at Chimaru's feet, "I can't let you die alone, I'm going to go with you." ”

"Senior, please don't."

"Why did Childe say that?"

"There's no point in doing that. Do you understand? You want to live and continue to serve the Okuping family, there is no point in dying. ”

"Chimaru Childe!" Shikuro's voice trembled even more, "You are neither sick nor sinful. ”

"That's why I'm letting you live."

"The innocent will be killed! I was wrong, and I shouldn't have advised you to die. Be angry, be angry, and then you will become a terrible demon when you die. Childe, I'm going too, and I'm going to be with Childe's soul. I will accuse the gods of this sinful world! ”

"Shut up!" I don't know who scolded in a panic. It seemed that two or three people were pressing towards Shikuro.

"Get out of here!" It was Shikuro's voice.

"Did the young master order you to come and make trouble?"

"Shut up! Katsuyori Takeda allowed me to die for my master in accordance with the ancient law. ”

"Shut up, that's after we want his life."

Ah Feng, who was tied to the cross, suddenly burst out laughing, and she finally felt that she had died a well-deserved death. "Become a ghost, become a terrible ghost...... In the eyes of others, Ah Feng is probably crazy. She couldn't stop laughing.

"Chimaru Childe, I'm one step ahead." Shikuro jerked out his sword. There was a commotion in the crowd.

"Kill!" Only listen to the order of the prison officer.

"Wait!" At the last moment, someone shouted loudly.

"Leave it alone, kill!" The warden was really angry this time.

"In Shimono, the messenger of the Imagawa family ......," the visitor shouted again.

"Wow!" As soon as the comer spoke, the execution ground was suddenly in an uproar.

At this time, it is estimated that because he was too nervous, Ah Feng was already a little confused, and even began to fall into a coma. When she opened her eyes, she shouted in her heart: Become a ghost! Become a demon! Immediately, her vision blurred. The faces of Shikuro, Chimaru, and Toranosuke have disappeared. The bright autumn sun turned into a halo of color, and the gray shadow gradually spread like ripples......

The crowd was even more noisy, but Ah Feng couldn't hear it anymore.
