Chapter 315: A Monarch and a Minister

readx;? At night, in the dim and damp death row, the air was filled with a disgusting smell of mold and rot. Pen "Fun" There are many cells in the death row www.biquge.info in the pavilion, criss-crossing cells are connected to each other through extremely narrow passages, and the ground is covered with a layer of turbid water all the time, probably because there is no sunlight here all day long, it is too dark and damp, so snakes, insects, rats and ants are all over it, and the corpses of these poisonous insects are also kicked aside at will, so in the already narrow passage, the smell of the rotting corpses of poisonous insects is intertwined with the damp mildew, which really makes people want to cover their mouths and noses, and they don't want to stay for a moment.

In the damp death row, under the guidance of a golden guard in golden armor, three figures walked quickly through the passages, twisting and turning directly towards the deepest death row. And there are only two people on death row at the moment, one is the famous protector Han Xiao, and the other is the leader of the younger generation of the Han people, Han Cheng.

This cell is the deepest and most secret place in the entire death row, and the reason why Han Xiao and Han Cheng are locked up here is because among the current group of prisoners, these two people are the most likely and capable of escaping. In fact, Han Cheng was not originally imprisoned here, but he had tried to escape the prison twice before, and injured several golden guards for this, so he was temporarily imprisoned in this place. You must know that the golden guards guarding this cell are the best of the best, and they are only responsible for guarding this cell, so it is almost impossible to escape from prison here without alarming anyone.

At this moment, Han Xiao and Han Cheng were sitting on both sides of the cell against the wall, both of them hanging their heads silently, not knowing what they were thinking. Where are the two of them who still have a bit of the majestic and chic appearance of the past, they are all embarrassed to the extreme. Han Xiao is still better, especially Han Cheng, now he is disheveled, covered in blood, and the robe on his body is also ragged by whips, obviously because of his escape from prison during this time, he has been tortured by Jinwei a lot.

"Han Xiao, someone has come to see you!"

Suddenly, a cold voice suddenly sounded outside the cell, and then a burly golden guard quickly opened the cell door, and then stood sideways in a regular manner, nodding respectfully to the three people behind him.

One of these three people was the middle-aged man who had just been talking to the six sons outside. This person is strong and straight, the complexion is slightly dark, there is a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes on the square face, a big mouth with clear lips and teeth under the straight nose, and a circle of beard stubble with green beard on the side of the mouth, the body shape is as steady and solid as a green pine, although the muscles on the body are not exaggerated but give people a strong sense of strength, a pair of big hands are covered with calluses, the exposed wrists are as thick as a child's calves, and the green tendons on the back of the hands are bursting up. But this person's breath is even longer and deeper, and the breath is not only heavy but extremely light, and even some people can't figure out the law of his breath, which is the manifestation of soul power cultivation to a certain realm, and it is a method used by masters to hide their momentum, so as not to be easily seen through by others, and it is worth using this method to cover up their own people, and the worst realm of their soul power cultivation is also above the soul king.

In addition to this person, the other two were all wrapped in black robes and hats, and under the hats they were covered with a black veil, covering their whole bodies tightly, so that people could not see the faces of these two people at all, obviously these two people did not want to be seen by others to see their identities.

"Who are you......" Who is Han Xiao? As soon as the middle-aged man stepped into the cell, he felt an extremely strong and domineering aura, and then raised his head sharply and looked at the man with a solemn face, "Zhao Wuyang!"

Zhao Wuyang is the name of this middle-aged man. However, this name has another identity, and that is the Grand Commander of the Golden Guard. It is on par with Bai Qi, the commander of the Silver Guard.

"Lord Han, don't come to harm!" Zhao Wuyang stood in front of Han Xiao with a sinking face and said softly. Hearing Zhao Wuyang's voice, Han Cheng on the other side of the cell also raised his head suddenly, looking at Zhao Wuyang and the other two mysterious people wrapped in black with curiosity.

"What are you doing here?" Han Xiao asked coldly, "Could it be that you came to see me off for the last time?"

"It's not that I'm coming, but someone wants to see you!" Zhao Wuyang said lightly, and then stepped away from his body, revealing the two mysterious people standing behind him.

"You are ......" Han Xiao looked at the two people with a puzzled face, and a hint of suspicion could not help but appear between his eyebrows.

"Han Xiao, can't you recognize this emperor so soon?" Before Han Xiao's words fell, I saw that one of the black-clothed men took off the hat on his head, revealing that old but resolute face, this person was the Holy Domain Emperor, Yan Chong. And the other person who took off the hat was the King of Shengdong, Yan Yi.

"Han Xiao greets His Majesty the Emperor!" As soon as Han Xiao saw the Emperor, he hurriedly got up from the ground and respectfully bowed down to Yan Chong and Yan Yi, while Han Cheng on the other side also hurriedly knelt to the ground when he saw this.

"Excuse me!" The Emperor waved his hand at Han Xiao slightly, at this moment Zhao Wuyang had already moved in from outside and placed a chair behind the Emperor, while Zhao Wuyang was standing beside the Emperor Leader carefully, a pair of shining eyes stared closely at Han Xiao's every move, as long as Han Xiao made a slight move, he could stop it as soon as possible, and then protect the Emperor's safety.

Looking at the Emperor again, he sat on the chair calmly, looking at Han Xiao with a deep gaze, "This emperor is thinking about your love for many years, and I am here to see you off tonight!"

"Boom!" As soon as the Emperor Ling's words came out, a roar flashed in the minds of Han Xiao and Han Cheng at the same time, and the Emperor said such a thing, which meant that he had come this time not to pardon them, but to have already confirmed their capital crimes.

Han Xiao stared at the Emperor Ling with trembling eyes, he didn't know what to say at this moment, he had already said what he needed to say countless times, but the result had never changed.

"Han Xiao, this emperor punished you nine clans this time, do you hate me?" The emperor asked with his eyes lowered slightly, and his tone was unhappy and unslow.

"No!" Han Xiao shook his head with a wry smile, and a look of despair quietly appeared on his face, "Han wants to hate only that Lan Shixun is too insidious, and only hates that he has strayed into Lan Shixun's trap and doesn't know it!

"Han Xiao, are you still completely unrepentant after the matter has come to this?" the Emperor Ling frowned slightly, and shouted in a deep voice, "Lan Shixun is now the minister of the humerus that the emperor relies on the most, and you still dare to slander him in front of the emperor, isn't it that you have already broken the jar?"

"Your Majesty!" Han Xiao slammed down at the feet of the Emperor, and pleaded bitterly, "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!" Your Majesty, you want to execute Han Xiao, Han Xiao will never dare to complain, but I only ask Your Majesty to see the details, and never be deceived by the sinister villain, so as not to delay the plan of the Holy Domain!"

"Enough is enough!" The Emperor waved his hand at Han Xiao rather tiredly, and then sighed and said, "You are a sinister villain, Han Xiao, you are still obsessed with your death, it is really a disappointment to this emperor! This emperor thinks that you have learned from the pain and can realize it before you die, but I don't want you to be so stubborn!"

"The person who should be enlightened is Your Majesty, Han Xiao begged Your Majesty to ...... it"

"Okay, let's not talk about this!" Before Han Xiao could open his mouth to persuade again, the Emperor Ling ruthlessly interrupted him, and then said to himself, "Tomorrow is the beginning of spring, and this emperor has already punished you with the death penalty of the Nine Clans." The so-called Jun has no jokes, tomorrow morning, more than 400 people from your Han family will all be executed, what other wishes do you have before you die?"

"Your Majesty......" The iron-clad Han Xiao faced such an indifferent emperor at this moment, and his tiger eyes couldn't help but overflow with tears of resentment and unwillingness, he knelt down in front of the emperor, hung his head and whimpered in a low voice, and didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Yan Yi couldn't help frowning, and then opened his mouth and said: "Han Xiao, Your Majesty can come here to see you in person before you die, it is enough to prove that the emperor's grace is vast, Your Majesty still cares about a trace of love with you in the past, you don't know what to do, this king advises you to say it as soon as possible, so as not to miss the opportunity!"

Hearing Yan Xiao's words, Han Xiao gradually reined in his excitement and slowly raised his head, and when he looked at the Emperor, the Emperor's face was still very resolute, and he didn't seem to be moved in the slightest because of Han Xiao's grief.

"Han Xiao, this emperor has already sentenced your Han family to death, with your ability, you can break out, I think the guards in this prison are afraid that no one can stop you, right?" The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly, "Since you hate the emperor so much, why don't you find a chance to escape?"

"Your Majesty's kindness to my Han family is like a mountain, without Your Majesty's kindness, there would be no Han family's glory and wealth over the past few decades! Even if Your Majesty wants to execute me, I will never dare to have the slightest disobedience!" Han Xiao said word by word, "It's just ...... Han Xiao deserves to die, but the rest of my Han family is innocent, so I also ask Your Majesty to open the net, execute only Han Xiao alone, and let the rest of the Han family go!"

As soon as Han Xiao said this, a flash of surprise suddenly flashed in Han Cheng's eyes on the side.

"Your Han family is also a powerful clan, there are hundreds of people in the Han clan alone, and you have many henchmen in the Holy Domain, if you only kill you, it is difficult to guarantee that the rest of the Han family will not make trouble, do you think this emperor will do this kind of thing that will let the tiger return to the mountain and cause endless trouble?" The leading emperor's gaze shot straight at Han Xiao's body like a knife, and the stiffness of his tone made Han Xiao's originally ignited hope shattered again in an instant, and Han Xiao's face suddenly turned dead, and his despair was overflowing. And Han Cheng on the side leaned directly and slumped in the corner.

"It's just ......" The Emperor suddenly changed his words, but once again brought Han Xiao a hint of vitality, "This emperor is willing to leave a trace of your Han family's bloodline and not let your entire clan be wiped out, I don't know what you think?"

"Your Majesty's great grace, Han Xiao will never forget!" Han Xiao bowed respectfully to the Emperor, and the excitement in his tone had a sense of desperation.

"The emperor can only promise you that the Han family will leave one person, who do you want to keep?" asked the emperor lightly.

As soon as the emperor said this, a trace of nervousness flashed again in Han Cheng's already desperate eyes in the corner, and he saw that his eyes were staring at Han Xiao like a torch, and his palms were instantly overflowing with nervous sweat, and even his breathing became heavy unconsciously.

"I ......" Han Xiao hesitated for a moment, and then he set his eyes on Han Cheng in the corner, and when Han Cheng saw Han Xiao's gaze, a trace of excitement for the rest of his life inadvertently appeared on his face, but before Han Cheng, who was full of excitement, thanked him for not killing, Han Xiao suddenly withdrew his eyes, and then said to the emperor in a difficult tone, "I want to keep my only daughter...... Ling'er!"

"Boom!" As soon as Han Xiao said this, Han Cheng was instantly stunned in place, his mind suddenly went blank for a long time, and his eyes when he looked at Han Xiao showed a trace of resentment that could not be concealed.

"Han Ling'er?" Ling Huang frowned, and asked pretending to be puzzled, "Although she is your daughter, she is a daughter family after all, how can a daughter family continue the bloodline of your Han family?"

"Your Majesty, Han's wife died early, and I can be regarded as dead and untouched, but I can't let go of my precious daughter, so I implore Your Majesty to spare the little girl's life!"

"But ......"

"Your Majesty!" Before the emperor could open his mouth again, Yan Yi saw this, but his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "You have already convicted Han Xiao of the Nine Clans, the so-called Jun has no jokes, if you suddenly decide to leave a trace of blood for the Han family now, I am afraid that people in the world will question Your Majesty's imperial order in the future!"

As soon as Yan Yi said this, the faces of Han Xiao and the Emperor changed at the same time. Han Xiao's change lies in hating Yan Yi's ruthlessness and ruthlessness, while the change of leading the emperor seems to be dissatisfied with Yan Yi's questioning of his decision.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, and listen to me!" Seeing this, Yan Yi hurriedly smiled slightly, and then said confidently, "I have a way to get the best of both worlds here, which can not only keep Your Majesty's prestige from being damaged, but also fulfill Han Xiao's last wish!"

"Oh, what's the solution?" asked the Emperor with a raised brow.

"Your Majesty, the Han family has been beheaded by the whole family, this is something that cannot be changed!" Yan Yi chuckled, "But Your Majesty must not forget, as long as the people of the royal family receive the grace of Your Majesty, they can be exempted from all capital crimes!"

"People from the royal family?" Han Xiao was also confused at the moment, "But Ling'er is not from the royal family?"

"She may not be, but she can also be!" Yan Yi smiled mysteriously, "As long as Han Ling'er and Yan Ze become married, then she will no longer be just the daughter of the Han family, but also become the wife of the imperial grandson, isn't she a legitimate member of the royal family?"

It wasn't until this moment that Han Xiao finally understood Yan Ze's words, and it seemed that he was saying that he was here for his precious grandson Yan Ze. Yan Ze fell in love with Han Ling'er at first sight in Yuelou, this is now a well-known thing, so as soon as Yan Ze's words were said today, Han Xiao completely understood what he meant.

"No!" Han Xiaoyi refused with righteous words, "Ling'er has already promised to marry Lu Yifan, the son of the Lu family, how can he ......?"

"Han Xiao!" Yan Yi's face sank, his eyes looked directly at Han Xiao coldly, and he said word by word, "This is the only way to save Han Ling'er's life without compromising the prestige of the Emperor, I'm not begging you!"

"This ......" Yan Yi said this, Han Xiao couldn't help but be speechless for a while, and his embarrassed look looked quite entangled.

"Well, the daughter of a criminal minister can marry into the royal family, this emperor doesn't think it's an insult to your Han Xiao's reputation, right?" Without waiting for Han Xiao to agree, the leading emperor Yan Chong nodded quite approvingly, "And once Han Ling'er marries Yan Ze, the hatred for the emperor will naturally be diluted a lot, it is really a way to kill multiple birds with one stone! Although Yan Ze's child has some shortcomings, no matter how he says it, he is also the grandson of the emperor, and Ling'er's girl can marry into the royal family, which can be regarded as a blessing cultivated in the previous life!"

"But ......" Han Xiao was about to argue again, but he inadvertently saw the rather impatient eyes of Ling Huang Yan Chong, and immediately understood everything in his heart. It turned out that Emperor Yan Chong had known about this matter for a long time, maybe he was entrusted by Emperor Yan, so he deliberately gave Han Xiao such a favor, and as soon as he thought of this, Han Xiao suddenly felt disheartened, and immediately said no more, just kowtowed slightly, and said intermittently to Emperor Yan Chong, "Thank you...... Your Majesty's Great Grace ......"

"Okay! Since the most important things have been said and done, then you all go out first!" Seeing this, Emperor Yan Chong couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and then turned back to Yan Yi, Zhao Wuyang, and Han Cheng and ordered, "After all, Han Xiao has been with the emperor for decades, and now he is about to be executed, the emperor wants to catch up with him well, and it will not be in vain for so many years for our monarchs and ministers!"

"Your Majesty, this ......"

"Stand down!" Without waiting for Yan Yi to hesitate, Ling Huang Yan Chong's tone suddenly sank, and he whispered in an unquestionable voice, "Wait for me outside!"

"Yes!"

Seeing this, Yan Yi and Zhao Wuyang didn't dare to say more, so they could only retreat with Han Cheng, and after a few of them went out, only the two of them, Yan Chong and Han Xiao, were left in the dark cell.

"Han Xiao, now you and I can talk about the old alone!"

Linghuang Yanchong looked at Han Xiao with a smile, but when he said this, a pair of old eyes with a deep meaning inadvertently revealed an intriguing light. Seeing this, Han Xiao's face couldn't help but change slightly!

......
