1. Farewell to life and death

Chongzhen was outside the prison on the first day of the tenth year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just as the entire capital was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the New Year, two men in the appearance of brocade guards held torches and walked towards the gate of the prison step by step. The two are black and white, and their appearance is quite strange.

Under the bright light of the fire, the two men had blood-red eyes, their faces twitched from time to time, saliva dripping intermittently from the corners of their mouths, and occasionally let out a beast-like roar.

It was nearly midnight, and the two guards were drowsy and half-asleep, half-asleep with halberds. When the two brocade guards walked in front of him, the guards were shocked, and immediately opened their eyes and shouted, "Who!?

"Truly, we are on the orders of Lord Lu Biao to come to interrogate the prisoners. The white-faced brocade guard's voice was hoarse and evil, and he let out a weird laugh from time to time.

"Prisoners, no, unless there is a decree or a holy decree from the Ministry of Punishment, they will not be released. Guard Iron Mask said selflessly.

The white-faced brocade guard said, "Hey, hey, hey...... Instructions...... Naturally, there is ...... It's just ......"

"Just what?" the guard froze.

"It's just...... I'm going to take it to you slowly...... Hey. The white-faced brocade guard said as he reached into his arms and touched it stiffly.

The guards saw that his movements were quite procrastinating, and several times he took out a piece of paper-like paper, but each time it was always an inch and a half off, and the paper slipped out of his hand. couldn't help but feel impatient in his heart, and shouted: "Okay, no, I don't have time to grind with you here." ”

As soon as the words fell, the black-faced brocade-clothed guard suddenly clawed out and pressed the throats of the two guards. The two brocade-clothed guards opened their eyes wide, and a big hole opened in their throats, making a bellows-like sound, and at the same time, blood bubbled out of their mouths, and they slowly fell to the ground.

At this moment, the white-faced brocade guard finally took out the white paper from his arms, shook it in front of him like a show off, and said, "Look, this is the edict of Shen Chenjun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, I didn't lie to you...... Alas, why are there no people...... Hey hey ......"

The black-faced brocade guard said, "Hehe...... I couldn't hold back and killed the two of them...... Hey. ”

The white-faced brocade said angrily: "You guy...... It's always so impatient...... Isn't the master of Hongyan already about to go to the Criminal Department...... What did you do with these two men...... Forget it, don't waste it...... Plant these two people with corpse worms...... Hey. ”

"Okay...... Hey...... Hey, hey, hey......" The black-faced brocade guard said excitedly, then crouched down, and a lot of mucus was secreted from his mouth, which landed in the throats of the two guards. And sit the guard against the wall and make a sleeping position.

The two then took out the key from the guard and clumsily opened the dungeon door.

"You two, do you want to suffer a little?" A figure dressed in tulle suddenly appeared behind the two, and said in a cold tone, "When did I ask you to increase the number of companions?"

"Master Hongyan...... Subordinate...... The subordinates really didn't dare to ...... It's ...... Unintentional mistakes...... Hey. The two brocade guards argued.

Hong Yan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but he still said: "Next time you commit it again, you will be ready to go into the ground for peace!"

The two brocade guards looked frightened and honestly followed behind Hong Yan.

Hong Yan took the lead all the way and walked to the upper floor of the prison. When he met the jailer, he showed the handwritten edict of the criminal department, and the jailer saw that she was the emperor's very fortunate saint to protect the country, so how dare she ask more, and hurriedly led the way.

Hong Yan came to the door of a cell at the top of the tower and said to the jailer, "Open the door." ”

Without hesitation, the jailer quickly unlocked the door with his hands and feet, and said, "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, this imperial court prisoner has not eaten for more than ten days, and he must have been so hungry that he was unable to resist just drinking water. The saint is very skilled, but she is still careful. With that, he turned around and left.

Like a little person like a jailer, who has been on an errand in the prison for a long time, he has long been familiar with what to see and what not to see. But firstly, Hongyan was deeply favored by Chongzhen, and secondly, he did have a handwritten decree from the Criminal Department, so he was extremely well-behaved, and he didn't listen or look at the moment, and stayed away quickly.

Hong Yan hesitated slightly, slowly pushed open the iron door, and soon saw the expected scene.

I saw that this cell was two feet square, and there was a commode in the corner. There are two small bowls next to the commode, one with rice and the other with water, showing no signs of eating. In the middle of the ground there was a pile of tattered cotton wool, a beard and a mess, filthy man was lying on his side on the cotton wool, his hands and feet were shackled, and his eyes were staring blankly in the direction of the wild goose, not knowing whether he was dreaming or waking up.

Hong Yan mustered up his courage, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said calmly: "Xiao Cheap, I came to see you." ”

The man smiled and said, "Hongyan, you're here." ”

Hong Yan said coldly: "I'll come to see if you're dead." I didn't expect your life to be so big, although you lived more ugly than a dog, but you didn't die. ”

"Thank you, Hongyan, how are you doing?" Xiao Bei was unmoved, and slowly sat up, his face haggard, but still smiling.

"I'm fine, Chongzhen trusts me very much, and lets me rule all the sects in the country. I was too lazy to do anything, so I let Ning Zhi do everything. Hongyan said.

"Oh...... Ning Zhi ...... Are you back?" said Xiao Yi weakly.

Hong Yan nodded and said, "Not only Ning Zhi, but I have also become the palace master of the Jade Immortal Palace again, and everything is back on track, so I want to ...... It's time to dispose of you. ”

Xiao Bei was silent, and after a while, he said, "I love you." ”

This sentence seemed to anger Hong Yan, she strode to Xiao Bei's side, picked it up, slammed it against the wall, and then shouted loudly: "Don't you understand? I don't love you anymore! Otherwise, I will look down on you even more!"

Xiao Bei showed a gentle look on his face, and still said, "I love you." ”

Hongyan put down Xiao Bei, took two steps back, covered his face with both hands, seemed to be sobbing, and said, "I...... controlled the government, provoked the ministers, framed the loyal and good, and arrested the chivalrous...... I have already broken the oath I made with you, so ...... You...... Do you still love me?"

Xiao Bei did not hesitate and said, "I love you." ”

Hong Yan shook violently, and after a while, he said: "I also planted corpse worms in the bodies of a large number of innocent people, and manipulated them with the manifestation of the parasitic spirit, making them become walking corpses, and they are not evil, and people and gods are angry, like this...... Do you still love me?"

Xiao Bei still said: "I love you." ”

Hongyan didn't seem to be able to support it anymore, her body shook, and she almost sat down, but then she gritted her teeth and said, "There is still ...... I gave my body to Chongzhen, and I was no longer pure...... Such...... Do you still love me?"

Xiao Bei's voice was firm and said, "I love you." ”

Hong Yan stopped talking, her face was hidden in the darkness, her body trembled violently, her breath was heavy, as if she was crying but not crying.

Xiao Jie said with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

Hong Yan's body shook, regained his composure again, turned around suddenly, and said in an ethereal voice: "Live well! ”

After that, she didn't make any movements, and her body disappeared into the cell.

Xiao looked at the place where the wild goose disappeared stupidly, with a happy and gentle smile on his face.

――――――――――――――――――――――

Winter goes to spring, time flies, and one day, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in Xiao Bei's cell.

Lu Guan Zhong said: "Master, I'm here to rescue you." ”

Xiao Bei shook his head and said, "Guan Zhong, it's good to be a teacher, don't worry about you, you are newly married Yan'er, let's accompany Haoyue more." ”

Lu Guan Zhong hurriedly said: "Master, I know everything, the Qing army is coming, and it was you and Shi Bo who intercepted it together, so that Da Ming could breathe." Now that you have been wronged in this way, how can you give me peace of mind?"

Xiao Bei said: "I'm here because I'm tired of the chaos of the world, and I don't want to see things and mess with my mind." Guan Zhong, go back and take care of your body, I feel ...... Your body is not very good either. ”

Lu Guanzhong persuaded a few more words, but Xiao Yi just shook his head. Lu Guanzhong had no choice but to hide his figure and leave the prison.

A few days later, another person came into Xiao Bei's cell, but this time the momentum was so loud that even the cell door was blasted open.

Zhang Zhinan sat in front of Xiao Bei, forming a wall of qi behind him, blocking the swarming soldiers, and said: "Brother Yi, you come with me! I know that you will never forget Hongyan, and I will not kill her, let her fend for herself." We have nothing to worry about, the four seas are our home, the world is so big, where can we not go? What should we not do?"

Xiao Bei smiled bitterly: "Brother Yi, I am a rural villager, I just want to stay in one place honestly, I don't want to go anywhere, and I don't have any ambitions, just let me go!"

Zhang Zhinan looked at Xiao Bei's face, and saw that his expression was calm, without sadness or joy, and suddenly a thought flashed in his heart: "He is not boring, but at a critical moment when he is about to enlighten." If I force him to be dragged away, I am afraid that something will happen to him. So he laughed for a long time and read: "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it! I don't know the tomb of the heroes of Wuling, and I have no flowers and no wine to hoe the fields." With that, his hands shook, and a large hole appeared in the wall of the cell, and he immediately stepped up and left the prison through the hole.

The soldiers looked at each other, and no one dared to go after them.
