Chapter 81: Beheading
When the hot sun slowly rises, the scorching air flow in the air inevitably makes people feel a little uncomfortable with the heat, now it is autumn, this day the sun is unusually hot, is it a sign of something?
People walked on the streets, occasionally waving their sleeves in order to cool down, but the sweat beads on their foreheads were still dripping down in large pieces, and their clothes were also soaked with sweat, and the so-called sweat was nothing more than that.
At the end of the street, there is one thing to talk about today, undoubtedly the profound Hou Xiahou Yuan and the Xiahou family, it is said that the emperor has issued an order, this afternoon will behead the Xiahou family outside the noon gate, etc., even the child is inevitable, just thinking about it makes me feel terrible, what can a small child do, even if the adult does something wrong, it can't implicate the child.
But who dares to say this, how can they talk about the royal affairs, how can they be discussed by ordinary people, if you can't create public opinion according to you, you don't know how to die when the time comes!
When noon approached, I saw that the people on the street were moving in one direction, and the crowd was surging, which was unprecedented, and such a major event also alarmed some foreign people.
Xiahou Yuan, the general who has always been invincible, is going to be beheaded? Hearing the news, those foreign envoys were a little excited, or should have gloated. For a while, the shocked people in the post station also ran downstairs and headed towards the noon gate.
Outside the noon gate, the execution ground that had been prepared for continuation had been opened in front of everyone. After a while, everyone in the Xiahou family who was escorted by the guards had a stoic and unyielding look on their faces! has been in the Xiahou family for more than ten years, no matter how you say it, you also know that as a person from the Xiahou family, you can't easily show your cowardice in the eyes of outsiders.
The people watching from the periphery couldn't help but sigh.
The officials in charge of the beheading sat on the upper seats, surrounded by officers and soldiers, to prevent the robbery of the prison.
Looking up at the sun, a quarter of an hour was still there, and then he looked at the people who were already kneeling on the ground, and sighed.
This person is Yuxia's father, this time the people of the Xiahou family are really helpless, think about it if he is not the prime minister, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape this catastrophe, but the emperor in order to see his loyalty, actually let him be beheaded, after all, it is a friendship for many years, let him supervise Xiahou Yuan, I really can't bear it.
Now that Xiahoujie is on the run, I don't know what Yuxia is like, thinking of his simple, only thinking about Xiahoujie's daughter, he is very helpless when he is old, who likes him more than his daughter!
Gradually, time passed minute by minute, and Xiahou Yuan was also escorted to the field, but because Xiahou Jie was unconscious, maybe he didn't want to wake up, so he was carried up.
In the middle of the ring, noon had arrived, and a man dressed in a golden guard uniform rode towards the execution ground, holding an edict in his hand.
The man held the reins, stopped at the right time, turned over and dismounted, and immediately came to the prison platform, and said loudly: "Holy Decree!" β
The crowd knelt down.
"Fengtian carried the emperor to summon and said, this Xiahou Yuan's attempted rebellion was punished, and he was beheaded all over the house, and he was unconscious, and he was given a cup of poisonous wine, and everyone in the Xiahou family was like this, and he gave it."
"Well, long live the emperor, long live, long live."
After receiving the holy decree, he glanced at it, got up, closed his eyes, and the old man instantly seemed to be much older, and stretched out his hand and waved: "Come on, give poisoned wine." β
I saw rows of guards coming up with more than a dozen glasses of wine, and walked to the execution ground expressionlessly.
"Drink for them!" At the sound of an order, the guards picked up the wine glasses in their hands, clamped their jaws with one hand, and the poisonous wine flowed down their throats for a while, gradually flowing all over their bodies, and at this moment, an extremely bone-crushing pain spread throughout their bodies.
For a while, the howls of pain resounded throughout the execution ground, and the people frowned when they heard it, and their hearts could not bear it, and the scene was extremely bleak.
In between, everyone fell down one after another with pale faces, spitting blood, their expressions were hideous and twisted, their limbs were tightened, and just looking at it, they knew that death was extremely painful.
After a while, I saw that on the execution ground, there were all dead bodies lying horizontally and hideously, only Xiahou Yuan had not been fed poisoned wine, probably because the guards couldn't bear it, I saw that the guard's hands were trembling, his face was entangled, and he thought to himself, thinking that he had also received the favor of Hou Ye back then, but now he asked him to feed Hou Ye and drink this cup of poisonous wine, he couldn't bear it, wouldn't this be a grudge to repay virtue!
Seeing this, the prison officer couldn't help frowning: "Why don't you still be punished?" β
Hearing this, the guard couldn't help himself, stepped forward, and suddenly saw Xiahou Yuan's eyes open, the guard was so frightened that he suddenly screamed, his eyes widened, and just as the guard was about to speak, Xiahou Yuan's hoarse voice was accompanied by a low voice: "Don't call." β
The guard was so frightened that he quickly closed his mouth and whispered, "Master Hou...... You ......"
Xiahou Yuan's indifferent expression, as if he had seen through the situation, closed his eyes, and said slowly in a magnetic voice: "Feed this glass of wine, and you can make a difference!" β
"Hou ...... Master Hou ......" The guard didn't know how to speak, and suddenly concluded.
Xiahou Yuan knows, the end of all this may be a good thing for everyone, in fact, he has woken up a long time ago, but he doesn't want to see what is destined to happen, the arrangement of fate is not something he can control, Xiahou Jie rebelled, even if it was purely for the dance, but it is indeed an indisputable fact, Xiahou's family is full of beheading, maybe the end of all this can be destined to all the beginning, besides, the reason why he is still in this world is completely for that woman, the decision of that day is still in front of him, he doesn't want to see those so-called worldliness again, Instead of opening his eyes and looking at the troubled and false times, it is better to close his eyes and listen to the wonderful news of that life, and he can see it very thoroughly.
"Do you want to die too?" Xiahou Yuan asked rhetorically, the guard was conflicted, he had a wife, children, and an old mother, he thought about it again and again, and his heart was horizontal: "Master Hou, I'm sorry ......" stretched out his hand to raise his glass, only to see Xiahou Yuan slowly open his mouth, a glass of wine in his stomach, Xiahou Yuan's face turned blue, for a moment, the inexplicable feeling of suffocation was like a powerful big hand tightly pinching his neck, he endured, his brows were furrowed, when life was slowly passing, he seemed to see the carefree life before, the woman like a lotus, the woman he had devoted his lifeβ¦β¦
In the Wufeng Hall at noon, the dance was restless, panicked, and his face was very ugly.
When he came to the dance, he couldn't stop crying, and he couldn't cry and said: "Niangniang......"
Seeing this, Mei Wu's heart tightened, and she stepped forward and grabbed Ruo'er's shoulder: "How is the inquiry?" Even though her heart was already low, when Ruo'er said it, she was still like a slap in the face and was hit hard.
I only heard Ruo'er say slowly: "Xiahou's family, the whole door has been beheaded, Master Hou...... Dead too! β
For a while, Mei Wu's brain seemed to explode, especially dizzy, her body was soft, and the darkness slowly enveloped her, how could this be? It's too fast...... I didn't even see each other......
The dizziness completely drowned out the last bit of her consciousness, only to feel that she slowly fell into a warm embrace, at that moment, the warm touch gradually wrapped her frozen heart, she fell into his arms with peace of mind, an invisible sense of security surrounded her, if it kept like this, she would rather be unconscious.
In the farmhouse outside the city, Xia Houjie was lying on the bed with an ugly face, damn it, he couldn't help but abuse Xiao Yunwei in his heart, and the man on the side stepped forward, frowned, and glanced at Xia Houjie solemnly: "Master, please don't struggle, Hou Ye has passed away!" β
When Xia Houjie heard the news, his eyes widened suddenly, but his body couldn't move. He said coldly: "Hurry up, unravel the acupoint." β
The man was embarrassed: "Please forgive the master, but the subordinates can't." β
"Do you want to disobey my orders?" Xiahou Jie feigned anger and said, originally wanted to rob the Dharma field, who wanted, but was inadvertently caught by the acupoint, although the relationship with Xiahou Yuan is not so deep, but after all, it is his father, who wants him to watch him die, but he can't do it, "I'll say it one last time, unlock the acupoint." β
Every word was full of command, and the man's complicated eyes looked at Xiahou Jie, "Master, it's not that your subordinates don't want to unlock the acupoints, it's just that your subordinates don't want to see your master in danger, not to mention that Hou Ye is dead, you go now, aren't you throwing yourself into the net?" If it's another trap, isn't it in vain? The man persuaded, "If you have a case, then who will rescue the young lady?" β
Xia Houjie listened, and the excited heart gradually calmed down, his father had passed away, and the injuries on his body had not yet healed, what he said was not unreasonable, but it was ......
His complicated eyes closed suddenly, frowning, at this moment, his hesitant, tangled......
Inside the Dancing Phoenix Palace
When Mai Wu woke up again, it was already dusk evening, and the residual glow was undoubtedly a touch of blood, and the moment she opened her eyes, that extremely familiar face appeared in front of her eyes.
She said coldly, "What are you here for?" I don't want to see you! β
Si Tou Feng listened to her cold tone, and she was full of hatred, knowing that she couldn't get rid of the knot in her heart, and he didn't care about her, he just stood up gently, looked down at her, his eyes were gentle, and he said in a kind tone: "I just came to see you, the imperial doctor has been here, and I am relieved to see that you are okay!" β
The tone was very helpless, Si Teng Feng had to treat her like this, if she insisted on hating him, he was helpless.
Seeing this, Si Teng Feng stretched out his hand to help her, but was thrown by Mei Wu, only to hear her say coldly: "Don't trouble you"
After some struggle, he got up with the support of his strength, sat on the edge of the bed, and said: "Please ask the emperor to go out first, and the concubines want to change their clothes!" β
Hearing this, Sito Feng stopped talking, turned around and walked towards the outer room.
Mei Wu slowly came to the wardrobe, opened the door of the wardrobe, picked up a red gauze skirt and wore it on the body, the skirt of Jinxiu is sewn with good silk, the exquisite skirt is inlaid with many different colors of beads, the more perfect the wide sleeves are cut, the more it highlights the temperament of the Mei Dance itself, the focus of this dress is in its sleeves, layers of folds paved into a sense of layering, so that the clothes themselves look noble and gorgeous.
I saw her reach out and take out a sharp dagger from the cabinet, and the bright white light flashed instantly. Mai Wu looked at the dagger as if she had made up her mind, and finally carried it in her arms.
For a moment, when Mai Wu appeared in front of Si Teng Feng, her beauty completely attracted his attention, and he saw Si Tou Feng looking at her in surprise.
Mei Wu stepped forward with a smile, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Isn't the concubine dressed up beautifully? β
The voice is exceptionally delicate, and Si Teng Feng has never seen this side of the dance, and he wonders in his heart: "Wu'er, you are ......" pointed to her in red.
Mei Wu smiled unnaturally: "I just want to wear it, it's a pity not to wear such beautiful clothes!" β
As he spoke, Mei Wu's feet softened and she screamed, and when Si Tou Feng saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
Mei Wu fell into his arms, feeling her soft body leaning against him, and Sito Feng suddenly felt his heart beat faster.
Mei Wu leaned into his arms and did not get up immediately, but instead wrapped her arms around his waist and her cheek against his chest.
Sito Feng hadn't seen such a dance for a long time, and he couldn't help but reach out and hug her, his delicate body in his arms, looking a little like an injured deer.
Si Teng Feng was in a good mood in an instant, and comforted: "Wu'er, I will treat you well in the future!" He reached out and stroked her back.
Suddenly, Mei Wu took out the dagger from his arms and said softly: "Later? I'm afraid that everything is impossible......" Hearing Si Teng Feng's words, she was a little entangled in her heart, there was no longer any possibility between them, she just wanted him to die now! Let him die......
When Si Teng Feng heard this, his face was displeased: "How is it possible?" I ......"
Before he finished speaking, Mei Wu raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed at Si Teng Feng's back. Si Tou felt a cool wind flashing behind him, his back stiffened, and the feeling of pain attacked his senses.
He pushed away the dance in disbelief and looked at her with wide eyes: "You ......" complicated disbelief eyes, as if there was a dagger stuck behind his back, and blood was dripping.
Mei Wu looked at him indifferently: "It turns out that you will also be in pain!" I said I would hate you. β
In a firm tone, Si Tou Feng suddenly felt weak, "Why...... Could it be that you want to kill me so ruthlessly......" He didn't believe that she would want to kill him, because he knew that she loved him, but at this moment, the dagger stuck in his back was undoubtedly his biggest blow, and she made a move......
