Chapter 23: Death Row
Dead and alive, born and dead layers of moss. Cangyi cracked and ruthless in the early morning. Inside the high walls, is the death row of Chengguo. Crossing the outer wall, the small urn city, the inner wall, and the big river ditch, it is the place where the head is killed. The flat land is surrounded by towers and a second-story prison. A cell with a view of the killing site is still a good cell.
White clothes are in a single room on the first floor in the corner of death row. Nothing can be seen. But she knew she was back in the nightmare. The damp and dark earthen floor exudes coolness even in such a summer. She buried the food and water that the jailers had buried. The years since I left death row have been like a dream.
Xiao Hou Cong was not taken away. The escort only hurriedly stuffed her into an unsightly place, as long as she didn't have a weapon on her, and didn't think about it so much. She now held it in her arms, trying to figure out where she was. Suddenly, he seemed to move in his arms.
Bai Yi felt that it was an illusion that he was hungry and faint. In the dim light, she couldn't help but look at this little man, who looked like her eldest son. The eldest prince said that the puppet will be infiltrated by the master's soul. This little man does not mean that Hou Cong is accompanying him, it is a lonely white-clothed self.
The cell door opened again, and the man who came was holding a torch, and the white clothes looked at it in the uncomfortable light, and the jailer who had come very much. In particular, the jailer's clothes on his body did not seem to belong to him. This kind of belonging and non-belonging comes from an intuitive judgment. Bai Yi listened to his footsteps approaching, and remained motionless, searching his mind for the man's face.
No result, a stranger.
At the same time, this proves his dangerousness.
For the white robe had been imprisoned since that day, and had memorized the faces of all the jailers he had seen. Suddenly a stranger came, and even if he was a real jailer, he should not have been in charge of this cell.
His footsteps stopped, and Bai Yi heard that there was someone else outside the door.
However, they may have known the reputation of the female soldiers in white for a long time, and they did not dare to move lightly. Instead, a bowl of meat and a bowl of vegetables are placed on the ground, followed by a bowl of rice, water, and chopsticks.
The "jailer" spoke, "White girl, you still have to take care of your precious body, you can't do it without eating." ”
The fact that the white clothes buried food and water obviously could not escape their eyes.
Bai Yi raised his head, and the murderous aura in his eyes made the person opposite take a step back.
"Is it poisonous in the dish?" Bai Yi asked.
"White girl, life is too short, why do you know so much."
"In my current situation, what can you do if you tell the truth?" The white man asked stupidly.
The "jailer" seems to agree very much, after all, to carry out this mission, he thinks that he has climbed the high branch of the princess of the sun from now on, people often think less when they are proud, the "jailer" replied decisively, and at the same time was ready to enjoy a cruel drama, "Baiyi, you should have died in the courtyard outside a long time ago." The axe bearers are ready for you, because your family is not honest, and it will cost us one more time. If you want to hear the truth, listen to it. Her Royal Highness the princess thinks that it is not good for you to be killed by medicine, how can you recognize your more than 100 family members who have broken their heads on Huangquan Road? ”
"Oh," Bai Yi understood, Mo Yanyang finally wanted to let himself kneel on the guillotine outside. In Bai Yi's boring imagination, he even depicted the princess as the big house and her as a side room, accompanied by Hou Cong's absurd picture, Bai Yi felt enviable, but the princess herself couldn't tolerate Bai Yi's existence at all. The Mo Rong brothers and sisters were really ruthless and decisive.
"Well, there's no poison in this dish."
The "jailer" laughed, he felt that the play had begun, "how could it not be?" You are so good at kung fu that you don't eat a little casually, how can you ensure that there will be no accidents during the execution? ”
Bai Yi actually laughed along, and it was very sweet, which startled the visitor. Bai Yi easily stopped laughing wildly, and wiped the corners of his mouth that were dripping with saliva, "I know, it's rare that Her Royal Highness the Princess can afford me." I eat. Are you going to watch me eat? ”
"That's right."
Bai Yi nodded, as if in understanding. From a squatting posture, he sat down cross-legged and hummed a little song that Dugu Zhengjiao himself taught, "A hundred flowers bloom in spring, the slave's heart has not opened, Lang rides a white horse, and the slave is in Langhuai." My tears shake your heart and eyes, and call out my lang, little girl. ”
She ate the food in one bite, hugged the little Hou Cong in her arms, kissed her face, tidied up her clothes, and shook her body. To outsiders, it seems that she is just crazy.
I saw that the three bowls were eaten cleanly. When Bai Yi came to collect the bowl, he staggered and stood up, obviously because the medicine had taken effect.
"Big brother, I have only one request. This doll was given to me by my husband, and I want to take it on my way. ”
Where did the "jailer" and his subordinates care about this, two people came up, dragged the white clothes and left.
Walking through the corridors, through the large and small doors, the white clothes came to the courtyard when the morning glow rose, and how many times did they stand in the place where the nightmare stood, forced to see the place where their loved ones were killed. It's just that now there is no one else in the yard, only myself who has been pushed over.
When the morning glow was about to rise, Dugu was checking the sentry post, and accidentally walked to the place where Qin Xian had stood, paused slightly, and remembered Murong Xing and many people. He yawned, thought about many things Hou Cong explained, and returned to the room to seize the time to rest. As soon as he lay down, a henchman knocked on the door and came in, and there was a big man with a meaty face, peeping outside the official post and being arrested by the soldiers. He didn't bother to go over and deal with it personally, and instructed his subordinates, "The people of Chengguo will definitely send someone to keep an eye on us." I didn't expect it to be so blatant. But now we are on other people's turf, so it's better to cause less trouble, and leave it to them to patrol the streets and catch fast. ”
The subordinates agreed and went to do it, but the big man shouted loudly, "Where is the white girl's brother?" Where are the White Girl's friends? Someone! The White Maiden is dying! ”
Dugu Zheng flew out of the window on the second floor and grabbed the collar of the big man, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
The big man's eyes were full of anxiety, "The little one is a jailer on death row." The little father received the money from Master Qin more than 10 years ago, and the white girl who was rescued went back again. The small family is not a hero and saint, taking money to do things, and sending Buddha to the west. The White Maiden is dying! ”
Dugu was shouting to his subordinates, pulling two horses, but he didn't have time to inform anyone, and rushed to death row with Dahan.
Dahan explained to Dugu Zheng that Qin Xian "framed" Baiyi to be imprisoned, and he was originally going around. Changkong also went to death row again the next day, although he didn't see Cheng in white, but he made money again. He also heard about the identity of Bai Yi. Unexpectedly, the princess's hands are longer. Bai Yi was about to be executed, and he had no other way but to come here, thinking that the "elder brother", Yuwen Changkong, lived here.
The red of the morning glow spreads half of the blue sky. When Dugu Zheng and Ma Er were out of breath and arrived, they heard the singing of the white clothes.
"When spring comes, flowers bloom, slave hearts are not opened, Lang comes on a white horse, and the slave is in Langhuai. My tears shake your heart and eyes, and call out my lang, little girl. ”
The last sentence finally has a little meaning, with a bitter liking and desperate lovesickness.
The big man with a meaty face found his partner, Dugu Zheng picked all the jade pendants and golden hairpins on his body, and promised to take more money, but the people guarding the door not only did not let him in, but also came out a few people to help intercept him, "Now the execution is carried out inside, Princess Yanyang's order, we don't dare to be careless." You give us a flat capital city, and I don't dare to let you in. ”
The singing had disappeared, and the big man with a meaty face sat on the ground with his legs limp.
Dugu Zheng pulled out his sword and said viciously, "Then I will fight hard and pull you together to bury my friend." ”
