Everyone's eyes followed Sheng Zitang's gaze and looked at it together. Those eyes are so uncomfortable, as if I am a light in the darkness, as if I am a straw in the river, as if I am a poor lamb in the mouth of a tiger.

Someone next to me grabbed my hand and grabbed my hand tightly into her own, her palm was as cold as ice cubes, and she shivered slightly. Someone next to me clenched his fists, fingers rattling, and he turned sideways, a tall figure in front of me.

This time I didn't hide behind him like a shrunken turtle, but walked out from behind him and stood quietly in the crowd, not shocked, not panicked, just calmly said, "Me? ”

Hearing Sheng Zitang say that the person he wanted to kill was me, I was not surprised at all, he was about to kill me just now, if it wasn't for Qin Yichang, I might have become a ghost under his knife a long time ago.

Sheng Zitang was stunned for a moment, maybe he didn't expect me to be so calm, but he quickly regained his fierce appearance, "Yes, it's you!" ”

After he finished speaking, the whole courtyard fell silent again. The gaze that pierced the back was still uncomfortable, and the sound of the wind like crying was sad.

I said, "Since you want to kill me, can you let me know before you die, why did you kill me?" ”

Sheng Zitang's eyes lowered, he immediately raised his head, gritted his teeth and said eight words, "Eliminate harm for the people!" Get rid of demons for the country! ”

His promise was much of a surprise to me, and I was stunned. Eliminate harm for the people? Eliminate demons for the country? What have I done to eliminate harm for the people and demons for the country? Then he thought that he must be excusing his evil deeds, and he couldn't believe his words.

I said, "Nonsense! What's wrong with me? Who have I harmed? ”

Sheng Zitang snorted coldly and ignored me, but looked at Princess Yuanhe, "Princess, whether your colt is dead or alive, it's all yours!" ”

Princess Yuanhe glanced at me, and then at Meng Shaoqing, who was held hostage by Sheng Zitang, her hands were tightly pulled together, and her fingers were white from her own grip, but she didn't speak for a long time.

yes, let her speak, let her choose? One is her husband and the other is me, and the daughter of her name, although she has no relationship with me, if there is no one else, she may not hesitate to agree, but I still have my mother by my side, and King Luo, she knows that even if she agrees, they will not agree.

I think her heart must be arguing fiercely at this moment, and the struggle and fear in her heart must be no less than Meng Shaoqing.

At this time, Meng Shaoqing's voice sounded, "Yuanhe, you can't promise him." Sheng Zitang, if you want to kill me, kill me, even if I die, I will never allow you to hurt Xiaoyue. ”

I listened to his words, I couldn't help but look at him, his face was gray and did not have the usual look, he looked a little embarrassed, the wrinkles on his forehead were imprinted with the marks of time, the white hair on his sideburns was flying with the wind, his expression was a little decadent, but his eyes were firm, he was also looking at me at the moment, his eyes were so soft, like the warm gaze of the morning sun in my countless dreams. The wall of my heart, which was already crumbling, suddenly collapsed at this moment.

Sheng Zitang sneered, "It's up to you." Princess, you choose, who lives and who dies is in your hands. ”

"......" Princess Yuanhe seemed to be also holding a knife to her neck at this moment, and on a cold winter day, her face was drenched with sweat, wetting the hair on her forehead.

At this time, Qin Yichang suddenly spoke: "Sheng Zitang, do you think this is useful?" I advise you to stop fighting the trapped beasts, and just take them! If you let him go, we promise to let you go! If you insist on this, don't blame the king for not giving you a chance to live. ”

Sheng Zitang moved his gaze from Princess Yuanhe to Qin Yichang, he looked at him fixedly, and a cold light shot out of his gaze. I seemed to feel a deep hatred hidden under his cold and fierce gaze, as if he were his enemy. I was taken aback by the idea of this.

"The dignified prince, he is really eye-catching, such a good girl doesn't like it, she has to like such a scourge." The corners of Sheng Zitang's mouth slowly tore to the sides, revealing a bright smile, but that smile looked a little gloomy, "Today I am going to kill her and make you uncomfortable for the rest of your life." Ha ha! ”

My heart is getting heavier and heavier, who is he trying to kill me for?

Qin Yichang's face sank, his cold eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "This king, let's see if you have this knowledge." He took a step forward as he spoke.

Sheng Zitang saw Qin Yichang take a step forward, he was a little panicked, and took Meng Shaoqing a step back, holding the hand of the hilt, seemed to tremble, and said viciously, "You stop, move again, and I will kill him." ”

Qin Yichang didn't seem to hear it, but instead took another step forward and said, "If you dare to kill him, I promise that you won't be able to survive the next moment." ”

I knew that he wanted to take advantage of Sheng Zitang's desire not to kill Meng Shaoqing, but to kill my heart, and wanted to forcibly save Meng Shaoqing from Sheng Zitang's hands. Although he may save Meng Shaoqing by doing this, it is still too risky, and if he forces Sheng Zitang, the consequences will be unimaginable. I looked at Sheng Zitang, and I was very nervous, afraid that he would be desperate to kill because he was stimulated by Qin Yichang.

Sheng Zitang laughed when he heard it, "Death? I wanted to die for a long time, and when she died, I wanted to die. You warn you, if you take another step, I will kill him immediately, don't think that I dare not kill him, but I don't want to live for a long time, someone to bury me, that would be better! As he spoke, he leaned the knife in his hand towards Meng Shaoqing's neck, and there was another knife mark on Meng Shaoqing's neck.

Princess Yuanhe immediately exclaimed: "You don't have to be excited! Don't get excited. Let's give us a moment to think about it, okay? King Luo, please leave this matter alone and retreat quickly! ”

"Auntie! I ......" Qin Yichang wanted to explain the reason to Princess Yuanhe, but at this time, he couldn't say it directly, so he had to make a look at Princess Yuanhe.

Princess Yuanhe didn't understand what he meant, and shouted, "Hurry up!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Yichang sighed helplessly, took two steps back, and retreated to my side.

Meng Shaoqing calmed down at this time, there was no trace of fear on his face, but there was an expression of looking at death as if he were at home, "Sheng Zitang, kill if you want, don't talk so much nonsense." ”

Sheng Zitang smiled gloomily, "Okay, then it will be for you!" I'll count to three, and if you don't agree, I'll kill him!" Sheng Zitang immediately counted the first number in his mouth, "One!" He didn't seem to have the patience to wait any longer.
