Gongsun Zidu's big hand held me tightly and walked all the way through the bustling bazaar to the West Market.

When we arrived, it suddenly became clear that the West Market at this time was really very lively, and the people were huddled together, not knowing what was being discussed enthusiastically.

I couldn't help but prick up my ears in curiosity.

But before I could react, the hand that was holding me firmly suddenly let go.

"Follow me." My grandson looked at me meaningfully with a pair of starry eyes, a soft smile on his thin lips, and raised his hand to clear the way for me.

"What are you doing here?" I looked at the back in front of me in confusion, squeezing through the bustling crowd.

It wasn't until his figure melted into the light that my eyes suddenly lit up...

When I woke up, my heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and even my breathing became short.

Because at this moment, a bloodstained guillotine with a disgusting smell appeared in my sight!

"You..."My stomach churned, and then I looked at my grandson with a calm face...

What exactly does he want to do?

A bad premonition rose in my heart, but my grandson looked at the guillotine, "Don't you see who it is?" ”

Who?

I looked away a little, and I followed a spotted dragon head that couldn't tell whether it was old blood or rust, and saw a dark iron cage placed next to it...

There was a slender and emaciated figure sitting inside, with a gray head scattered in front of me, although it covered the vicissitudes of life below, but I still recognized the familiar back at a glance!

It's the Father!

I only felt that my eyes were sour, and all the fatigue and anxiety in these days seemed to be replaced by the excitement of reunion after a long absence.

However... This feeling didn't even have time to be revealed, and it was immediately replaced by heartache and complexity... How could my father end up in such a situation? Even if the kingdom is broken and he becomes a prisoner of the marauders, they should not imprison him in an iron cage for public display, and it is even more uncomfortable to humiliate a once dignified king of a country in such a way than to kill him!

Could it really be that Ying Changle did it?

No, how could she... That's her real father!

"Father!" I didn't have time to think about it any more before I screamed and wanted to rush to the guillotine.

At this time, Gongsun Zidu suddenly raised his hand expressionlessly and blocked in front of me.

I was stunned for a moment, and only later did I suddenly remember the "Father" I shouted in front of him, so I shook his arm anxiously and said, "Gongsun, you let me go first!" I'll explain this to you later. ”

"It's okay to explain, but what do you want to do now?" The grandsons all spoke coldly, and their eyes never deviated from me in the slightest.

I was furious when I saw that he was reluctant to move his arm away.

Grabbing his hand and waving vigorously, he wanted to push him away, but he had no choice but to do so, and his figure did not move for half a minute.

Then he couldn't help but exasperate, "What do you want to do?" Don't forget that you are the person who brought me to Xishi, what do you mean by acting like this at this moment? I tell you, the person up there is not only the old lord of the country who you said he would be there, but also the person I want to save, and if you can't help me, don't stop me! Get out of the way! ”

To be honest, although I am very grateful to my grandson for helping me protect me along the way, my father is by my side at the moment, and I can save him as soon as I reach out.

And the grandson didn't pay attention to my imminent anger, but just glanced at me, and the corners of his beautiful lips hooked up a hint of a smile.

Then, with a chill in his tone, he said, "You think... With you, can you save the old lord so easily? ”

I unconsciously took a step back and looked at him warily, "What do you mean by that?" Are you in the same group as the people of Chu? ”

The grandson's body was shocked, and a circle of waves was drawn in his eyes like a quiet pool, and then his slender fingers curled slightly, and a shudder fell on my head, and he said in a low voice, "Say you're stupid, you're so stupid, stupid woman!" ”

I covered my aching head, looked up at that beautiful cheek, and lost my mind for a moment... Because the pride on his face when he called me a stupid woman was the same as the expression on his face in his memory.

After being stunned for a moment, the grandson suddenly approached again, and whispered in my ear, "Follow me, and I will take you to find the old lord!" ”

His voice was about to fall, and before my brain could even react, my waist was tightened into his arms, and I jumped up the tower with the force of his feet.

"What are you bringing me here for?" I vigorously pushed away the grandson, looked at the dark iron cage under the city tower, and my eyes were red with anxiety, "Isn't the old lord there?" Take me down, I'm going to save him!" ”

The grandson walked up to me with a smile, and at some point he played with a silver triangular dart in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the figure in the black iron cage, "Take a closer look, is it really your father who is sitting in the cage?" ”

"What did you say?"

"Humph!" Gongzi sneered, and then his eyes lit up, and the silver triangular dart in his hand disappeared.

By the time I looked down, the sharp blade of the dart had already cut through the neck of the man in the cage... Scarlet blood suddenly gushed out like a fountain, splashing through the dark iron cage onto the spotted dragon head next to it, and paved a blood path with the dragon head as the end point.

The figure in the iron cage didn't even have a chance to snort, and his body fell straight back!

"Ahh I screamed in fright.

Then I only felt a violent suffocation sensation in my chest, and then my eyes went black, and I almost fainted.

"Sultan!" My grandson hurriedly supported me.

After a moment's pause, I pushed him away and said bitterly, "You killed my father!" Why are you..."

As I spoke, my head suddenly sank, and I stumbled back two steps involuntarily.

When my grandson saw this, he immediately stretched out his hand to me and wanted to help me.

"Don't come here!" Holding my drowsy head, I hated him and took a step back.

Gongsun Zidu looked at him with complicated eyes, "Don't you take a closer look?" The people down there are not old lords at all! ”

"What?" I pressed my chest with a disorganized heartbeat.

When I looked into the cage, I couldn't help but froze.

The man who fell to death in a pool of blood was now a little disheveled by the wind, but the face that appeared underneath was clearly a stranger.

"What's going on? Who's that? I trembled and pointed to the dark iron cage underneath, looked at my grandson in disbelief, and walked towards him.

But he accidentally fell under his feet.

"Be careful!" Seeing that my body was about to fall down, my grandson grabbed my hand and walked in his direction...

I fell straight into his arms.

"Are you alright?" The grandsons all have a pair of slender eyebrows with long sideburns, and their handsome faces are full of complicated expressions.

I didn't answer him, I just grabbed his shirt and shook it, and said in a panic, "What's going on?" Didn't you say that you would be able to see my father when you got here? Where is he? ”

My grandson's eyes were full of pity and he reached out to hold my cheek, and replied, "Promise me, no matter what happens, don't be impulsive." ”

I was stunned for a moment, looking at his serious expression, and my heart moved slightly.

But they don't know what he means.

"You'll know right away why you say that." As if they could always read my mind, they lowered their heads and whispered to me.

Then, taking advantage of the gap in my confusion, he pursed his lips and smiled again, and his long hand went around the area behind me, took me into his arms, and continued in a deep voice, "The person I killed was just a bait, just like those people at the tea stall, which the barbarians used to lure you into the bait, if you believe it... Presumably, if you can't get to the side of the iron cage, you will be in a different place. ”

What does this mean?

The grandsons let go of me and looked at the dragon head downstairs.

I followed his gaze in confusion... Only then did a scimitar slip out of the sleeve of the angry man in the iron cage!

To put it this way... He stopped me just now at the bottom of the castle because he had already shown the clues?

"Hehe," the woman's low laugh came from nowhere.

I followed the direction from which the voice came, and finally saw a curling figure surrounded by more than a dozen Chu soldiers, passing through the corner of the city tower, slowly coming in our direction.

"This gentleman is a man who understands." The woman's red lips twitched slightly, and her tone was very proud, "But what if you understand?" If I want her to die, she has to die for me! ”

I tried to keep my eyes open, and the next second I almost suspected that something was wrong with my eyes.

"Win Changle?"

"It's me!" Ying Changle raised his chin slightly, walked out of the encirclement of more than a dozen Chu State soldiers, and looked at me with a proud expression as if he were looking at the defeated generals under him, "I'm curious, when you were in the palace, your father loved you so much, why did you only think of saving your father now?" Don't... Are you really not afraid that before you come to Zhongli, he will be killed by me? ”

"How can you say such a thing? He's your father, too! I looked at Ying Changle in disbelief, who was still unruly, his face was no longer weak and delicate, and now the heavy makeup covered up was all viciousness and resentment.

"Father?" After listening to my words, Ying Changle laughed as if he had heard some big joke, but there seemed to be some tears in his eyes.

Then he shook his sleeves fiercely and said, "What are you talking to me about now?" Did he care about me since I was a child? When I was bullied by other princes and princesses, did he stand up to protect me? And also... My mother has not been favored all her life, and he has ever felt the slightest pity when she is trapped in the lonely deep palace? He didn't have it all! ”

Ying Changle's eyes were red, and he approached me step by step, and said sharply, "In that old thing's heart, there are only you and your slut mother, Concubine Li, and he doesn't regard others as nothing at all, so he is not my father, let alone at this moment!" He's just a damned thief now, just a damned thief, an old thief who deserves a thousand cuts! ”

"Win Changle!" I only felt that my eyes were dry and painful, and then I got up angrily and raised my hand to meet the face with heavy makeup, "Are you crazy?" How dare you say such a rebellious thing! If there is a god three feet above your head, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder in the sky? ”

"Humph! Hehe..."Ying Changle covered his face and sneered, "There is a god three feet above your head? How can you not say this to yourself? ”

Ying Changle's eyes froze, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed my neck, staring at me with a pair of eyes wide, "You should say this to yourself, if it weren't for you, why would my mother die in vain?" ”
