It was getting late, and Liu Ye wanted to keep him here for dinner, but Li Wenshuo dared to stay any longer, in Liu Jingchen's angry eyes, he found an excuse to leave, Xue Renhai and Li Fugui couldn't stay any longer, and they also said goodbye and left.

Looking at Li Wenshuo's distant back, Liu Jingchen was still a little annoyed, his heart was really a strange man, the emperor dared to refuse to leave him for dinner, and in the face of his peerless princess, he also looked like a beast, it seemed that what the world wanted to do, he had to come against it, what kind of person is this?

Looking at the side face of his sister, Liu Ye smiled and said, "What, good sister, have you taken a fancy to this carefree marquis?"

"Third brother, don't make trouble, your sister and I are not such frivolous people, with high eyes. ”

Hearing this, Liu Ye smiled slightly and said, "I know that your heart is higher than the sky, sister, but this Li Wenshuo is really a once-in-a-century figure, even if you marry him, you can't be wronged." ”

"Brother!" When there are no outsiders, Liu Jingchen is like a little girl who has been bullied by her brother.

"Okay, okay, brother, don't talk about it. ”

...

Li Wenshuo returned to the East Palace, and when he entered the door, he saw the crown princess Zhou Yan, who had not yet moved out of the palace, sitting alone, sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, her eyes were red, and she was no longer like she had been washing her face with tears all day long like some time ago, but it was not much better.

Li Wenshuo sighed, and said in his heart Liu Ye too, when an emperor has time to hoe the ground, but he doesn't have time to comfort his wife, but after all, this is someone else's family matter, and he can't manage it himself, Zhou Jin's death is indeed an almost inevitable thing, he still remembers the young man who was about the same age as himself, but he didn't feel any sadness, maybe because he was not familiar with him, or maybe there were too many people who died at that time.

Thinking of this, he was a little irritable, turned around and walked out of the East Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs around him, when they saw him, they saluted one after another, saying that they had seen the Hou Ye, and he was unconsciously used to this title, but he didn't feel anything, he just felt like calling a stranger he had never seen before.

Passing by Suzaku Avenue, looking at this wide avenue at this moment, the cars and pedestrians on the road are like flowing water, and the street vendors are also extraordinary, and there is indeed a little shock in my heart, but I don't want to stay longer for a moment, as if the washed clean bluestone slab is still covered with thick plasma.

At noon, I was a little hungry in my stomach, and walked to the top of West Street, thinking about eating a bowl of noodles to see if I could meet the girl, but for some reason, the noodle shop was not out of the stall today, and the mood was also depressed, but I didn't take two steps, but I heard a lot of applause.

Looking up, he saw a large crowd of people crowded in front of him, Li Wenshuo was a little curious, paced over, squeezed through the crowd with skill, and came to the front of the crowd, only then did he see what was happening.

The midday sun hangs like a sword overhead.

Li Wenshuo looked down at the shadow under his feet and heard bursts of uncontrollable voices around him.

The place of execution was arranged in the square next to the former Mingde Gate, which was thousands of steps long and wide, enough to accommodate 10,000 people, and has always been a good place for beheading.

According to Liu Ye's instructions, the rebellious party couldn't help but watch, this is the time to stand up.

The people of Liyang like to watch the excitement the most, such as beheading, even if they are afraid in their hearts, they don't want to miss it.

Li Wenshuo looked up at the kneeling people on the high platform, dressed in white prison uniforms, with their hands behind their backs, heavy shackles on their feet, and rough wooden signs stuck on their backs, just like in the book.

Every sinner has to drink a big bowl of liquor before the execution, and the wine is drugged, and if you drink it and are groggy, you will naturally not have any fear of gaffes, and you will die, of course, this kind of treatment is also in Chang'an, and other places are not qualified at all.

But there was one prisoner who shook his head and refused to drink, so he was also the most conspicuous.

He was born very beautiful, not like a man at all, but the identity indicated on the wooden sign behind him was so eye-catching, he behaved very calmly, shook his head and said to the cell boss with a wine bowl next to him: "No, I'm not very afraid." ”

This sentence alone caused countless applause among the people, but Li Wenshuo only said one sentence softly.

"So you're really a man. ”

Yu Linglong's eyes were a little dull, and after scanning the audience for a week, she finally saw Li Wenshuo, she was slightly stunned, and grinned, it may not be right to describe it with a grin, it can only be said that it is the feeling of looking back and smiling, but he is kneeling there, and it is extravagant to move.

Li Wenshuo looked at the eyes that were gradually recovering their clarity, and he also smiled slightly, as if bidding farewell to an old friend who was about to go away.

said that he was not afraid, but Li Wenshuo saw it clearly, and when he really saw the big knife shining with silver light in the executioner's hand, Yu Linglong still began to be afraid.

He shuddered slightly, the executioner's shoulders were large and round, extremely strong, and the iron knife in his hand was thick and sharp, and it was effortless to cut off a human head.

The cries of the crowd became higher and higher, as if some kind of huge ceremony was being held, Li Wenshuo frowned slightly, and he didn't understand why the bloody dead people made these people so excited.

The executioner poured a large bowl of spirits, which had no medicine in them, and poured them into his mouth, gulping them down, and at last he took a sip, and with a pop all he sprayed onto the knife.

Yu Linglong frowned, he had a slight habit of cleanliness, and he had an unusual aversion to the knife that was about to cut off his head.

Sure enough, as expected, the big knife cut off the head, it was really effortless, just a pop, as if chopping the bones of a cow, and a person's head rolled to the ground like a ball, and blood sprayed three feet high.

At first, people were still frightened and retreated, and in the end, the higher the blood splashed on the ground, the higher the cheers of the people, but Li Wenshuo also became more and more silent, and Yu Linglong no longer looked at him, after all, the two just met in Pingshui, and Li Wenshuo could not do such a stupid act of robbing the law field for him as a genuine sinner.

There are a lot of heads to be cut, but it is still the turn of Yu Linglong soon, at this moment the executioner is also out of breath, his eyes have become red, the blade has been curled, the little guy next to him hurriedly handed over another freshly sharpened big knife, taking advantage of the change of knife, the executioner poured a whole jar of wine on his body.

Yu Linglong lowered his head, he was really not afraid at this time, according to common sense, before the forbidden army entered the Jing'an Palace, he should have been hanged on the beam, but he always felt that there was something to do, and he always felt that he couldn't die so simply, because he was Yu Linglong, not an ordinary strategist.

But now he is really going to die, and his death is extremely humble and inconspicuous.

In front of everyone's eyes, Yu Linglong suddenly raised her head, silently facing the sky, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this scene, there was an uproar in the crowd.

"Too white in too little, candles like moonlight. Taibai wins and enters Taiwei in the north, it is the soldiers who will enter the court of the Son of Heaven, haha, Liu Ye, I will see how you lose the country!"

The sword flashed, and the head of Yu Linglong fell to the ground, but this sentence still echoed in the air, and a coldness echoed in people's hearts unconsciously, even the executioner was pale, and looked up at the chief officer on the stage suspiciously.

The scene of cutting off people's heads continued, and Yu Linglong's last words seemed to be just a line in the opera, which was quickly covered up by the soaring blood, and Li Wenshuo had no intention of looking, so he turned around and left.

In the same way, he didn't believe Yu Linglong's words, except that he didn't know much about the stars and anything, and he now knew that the clouds were nothing more than a cloud of water vapor, and there were no immortals living on them.
