The sky is sunny in spring, and the sky is cloudless.

The river tide crashed on the embankment, and hundreds of people poured out of Xihai City and gathered near Chishatai.

The Lingtai that has stood on the bank of the river for more than ten years, and the Lingtai that looks at the north of the river with a guardian posture has long been destroyed in the war more than a month ago, and has been replaced by a pavilion for people to have fun.

Chimes and musical instruments are arranged on the high platform, and the totems of the prosperous era painted red and gold on the railings seem to mock the resistance wars that the city has waged, and the families and royal families who are in power in this country.

Pei Daozhu was covered with light veil, and Xie Lin hid in the crowd.

She looked up and saw that the seats had been set up in front of the pavilion, and the generals from the north were proudly seated, and the most striking was the most prominent one, who was handsome and handsome, wearing a vermilion brocade robe, a gold and jade leather belt around his waist, and beads made of coral and malachite in his braids.

Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom, Yuan Cheng......

Although he has done many evils, it is undeniable that he is also a hero.

Xie Lin looked around and lowered his voice: "Didn't Xiao Xuance say in the letter that he would arrive in Xihai City today?" This celebration is about to begin, but he is still nowhere to be seen, and he doesn't know when he will come......"

The surrounding field of vision is broad, if there is an army, you should be able to see some clues, but the plain is endless, and Xiao Heng's army does not know where it is.

Entrusting his life to Xiao Heng, Xie Lin didn't know whether Pei Daozhu's decision was right or wrong.

He said solemnly: "Sister Pei, if he doesn't come, I will do my best to take you away today......

He clutched the short dagger hidden in his sleeve.

He naturally knew that if Xiao Heng's reinforcements could not arrive in time as he said in his letter, then he and Pei Daozhu would die for life.

Even if he tried his best, he might not be able to protect Pei Daozhu in the midst of thousands of troops.

It's just that......

It's just that today's incident is what Sister Pei wants to do.

She wants to do it, and he accompanies it.

Since I can't spend the rest of my life with her in this life, it is also excellent to accompany her through hardships and life and death.

The boy thought so.

With the beautiful palace ladies of the northern kingdom, holding wine and delicacies on the high platform, the celebration banquet belonging to Yuan Cheng officially opened.

At the end of the two songs and dances, Yuan Chenghan clapped his hands with a smile.

Immediately, there were guards escorting dozens of people to the platform.

These people are all captives, including the Taishou of Xihai City, the deputy general in the army, the civil officials in the city, the respected old man, and so on.

Xiao Rong is also impressively listed.

It's just that among so many people, he is the only one who is dressed in the clothes of the northerners, and before the escort guards can give an order, he has already knelt on the high platform respectfully, chanting the words "Prince Chitose".

After all, he is the Xiao family.

All of a sudden, the people were pointing and discussing.

Xie Lin was embarrassed: "No matter how unbearable Xiao Xuance is, he still has to be arrogant, which is worthy of respect." What kind of thing is this, he is really a descendant of the Xiao family?! It's just ridiculous and generous! ”

Bae Daozhu was also embarrassed.

She was even glad that Gu Yanwan took away her marriage in the first place.

If Xiao Rong is her husband......

She might as well be hit headfirst!

Yuan Cheng was very satisfied with Xiao Rong's performance, and curled his thin lips: "When the world is chaotic today, there are kings and hegemons everywhere. It's just that among the heroes, it is the strongest in my northern country. The expectation of unifying the world and returning the whole world to one is also on my northern country. You are all learned people, you should know what it means to be 'a good bird to choose a tree to perch on', as long as you surrender to loneliness today, you will be rewarded by the marquis of the earth tomorrow. If you don't ......"

Beside him, a guard mercilessly drew a long knife and split a clay urn in half in public.

Yuan Cheng reasoned slowly: "Your royal family only cares about pleasure, and in order to fill the treasury, they do not hesitate to increase taxes, which has caused people to be dissatisfied for many years. As long as you surrender, you promise to treat the people of Xihai City as your own people. Lone has read your books, among which there is a word called 'Datong', the world is for the public, the selection of the virtuous and the capable, the belief and harmony, the old have the end, the strong have the usefulness of the young, it is called Datong. It is this kind of world that is chasing in this life. What's so bad about surrendering to loneliness? ”

The captives bowed their heads and did not speak.

The people near Chishatai whispered, and some of them even seriously pondered, thinking about the possibility of surrendering.

Xie Lin raised his eyebrows: "What does Sister Pei think?" ”

"Crown-sounding." Pei Daozhu whispered, "It's just a scam." The huge territory of the northern kingdom can't achieve national peace and security, how can he expect him to treat the people of other countries as people? ”

Xie Lin chuckled: "I think so too." ”

The two were talking, and on the high platform, Xiao Rong stood up and began to talk endlessly about how good Yuan Cheng was, and he couldn't wait to drag and let those captives join the camp of the Northern Kingdom.

Xu knew that there was no way out, and Xu didn't want to become a spy who betrayed his family and country, so he used all his strength to talk eloquently: "...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and kind-hearted, and under his rule, our country will definitely be peaceful, the officials will be clean, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment——"

"Phew!"

Xihai City Taishou, a white-haired old man, spat directly on his face.

The old lady sneered: "Xiao Rong, your grandfather's bones are by the river, how can you have the face to say this?!" More than 20 years ago, in the battle of Xihai City, your grandfather's head was cut off by this group of aliens and hung high above the city tower, such a shame, have you forgotten?! Spineless bedbug, I feel sick when I see you! ”

Xiao Rong's face turned pale.

He raised his sleeves to wipe the water stains on his face, and glared at the old lady viciously: "This country is already over, I'm just going with the times!" If you are as old and stubborn as you are, you should die early! ”

He turned around neatly and bowed his hand to Yuan Cheng respectfully: "Your Highness, please execute him immediately!" ”

Yuan Cheng pursed a meaningful smile on the corner of his lips: "Yes." ”

The old lady was escorted by the guards and pushed all the way to the bottom of the high platform.

Below the high platform, the executioners were ready.

Xie Lin frowned: "I can't save ......"

Pei Daozhu muttered: "Yes, I can't save ......"

She closed her eyes.

As the bright blade fell, warm blood splashed out of the cranial cavity, and the people of India were in an uproar.

Yuan Cheng still smiled, took a sip of warm tea, and glanced at the remaining captives: "What about you, do you want to descend or not?" ”

After more than a month of torture, the captives were already yellow-skinned.

After witnessing the scene of the old lady being killed, her face was even more pale.

Time passed slowly, and some people swallowed their saliva, and finally took the initiative to choose to stand on Yuan Cheng's side.

However, many more were silent on the high platform, like an indestructible stone statue.
