Chapter 16: Lead the snake out of the hole
The entrance of the camp in the northern suburbs of CD was originally the place where the Shu army was stationed during the Three Kingdoms period, but at this time it was already transformed into a street square, although it was close to the suburbs, it was not prosperous.

At this time, there were thousands of empty alleys in the square at the entrance of the camp, and people stopped and stopped, all of them gathered around and looked ahead, as if they were attracted by something strange. Of course, everyone likes to look at strangeness, but today's strangeness is a little bloody, and that is two words - murder.
In the middle of the wide and boundless square was a man kneeling, dressed in prison clothes, unkempt, with his hands tied, kneeling alone on the ground, with a wooden board stuck in his back, on which were clearly written the words "death penalty". He was just a thin teenager, and his appearance was so pitiful. Next to the prisoner stood a shirtless man with a ghostly sword, and behind him were several officials. It seems that the prison beheader is the CD prefect Wu Zhi, and sitting next to Wu Zhi is the "big villain" who wants to kill the prisoner - Wan Tong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Shang Ming, the commander of Dongchang, and Yin Tong, the red-blooded red devil, and next to Wu Zhi is a teenage Lehe boy.
Countless officers and soldiers formed a large circle around the prisoner, separating the people inside from the crowd of onlookers. There are more and more people, and people are all covering their mouths and sighing, because they all know that this prisoner was still beautiful and proud a few days ago, but now he has become a prisoner and is about to be beheaded.
But there seemed to be no fear on the prisoner's face, and his face was as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened. And his eyes looked straight at the crowd in front of him, stopping at a girl in white, he looked at her calmly, and there was a shy and happy smile on his face.
The girl didn't know why he was still laughing at this time, she was incredulous in her doubts, maybe it was just because she didn't understand his mind!
This prisoner is Yunxiao, who was sentenced to death for aiding the assassination of Emperor Qin. The news of the beheading spread a few days ago, attracting so many people to watch. But it's strange to say that he is just a nameless teenager who committed a crime, and there are high-ranking officials in Beijing who came to behead him.
"This person is amazing! At a young age, he was so casual at the moment of death, I am afraid that you and I would not be able to do it!" Someone spoke, with surprise and admiration between his words, this person was wearing a flying fish suit, and it was the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
"yes, that's amazing. If you want to change to ordinary people, you have already lost your soul and wept on the ground!" one person sighed and agreed, but it was Shang Ming, the commander of the East Factory.
"Hmph, no matter how good his heart is, what is the use of not being a corpse after a while!" Yin Tong, the woman in red on the side, said indignantly, and there seemed to be no pity in her eyes.
Wantong shook his head slightly and said: "It's just a pity, it's a good material to make, if someone guides it, it will become a great tool in the future......!" , hey, alas, alas!"
Shang Ming also sighed softly, with a slight helplessness on his face. It's rare that these wicked people also have a time to sigh with compassion!
Yin Tong glanced at the two of them, and said with a sneer: "What's the matter? Could it be that the two adults are also moved by compassion and pity?"
Shang Ming looked at her contemptuously and didn't speak, but Wan Tong said, "Miss Yin saw that such a young child was about to die in front of her eyes, didn't she have any pity?"
Yin Tong chuckled a few times and said, "What does it matter to me if he dies?" What's more, he's just a criminal, and he just deserves it!"
Wantong didn't say much, but sighed in his heart that this girl was ruthless.
The whole square was in an uproar, people were talking, but there was restlessness in one corner of the square. But he saw a sergeant scolding and driving away a woman, who was carrying a basket and pleading with the sergeant in a kind and misleading manner, as if she wanted to create a way into the square.
"What's going on there?" Wu Zhi, the prison officer, asked in a loud voice.
A sergeant trotted over and said, "My lord, there is a woman who wants to come in and give the decapitation to the criminals!"
Wu Zhi was slightly stunned, and hurriedly looked at Wantong Monk Ming, as if asking for the meaning of the two. Wantong nodded immediately, and Wu Zhi said, "Then let her in!"
The sergeant was ordered to go, and hurriedly ordered his men to get out of the way, and the eyes of the people were instantly turned to this place, and they saw that the person who came was a fat and strong woman in her fifties.
The woman went straight to the place where Yunxiao was kneeling, and when Yunxiao saw this person, he couldn't help but be surprised:
"Aunt Han, why are you here?"
The person who came was Aunt Han, the owner of the bun shop who had wronged Yunxiao for stealing buns.
"Child, you have suffered!" Aunt Han looked sad, walked quickly to Yunxiao's side and squatted, she slowly put the basket in her hand on the ground, Yunxiao looked in, and saw duck legs, chicken wings, xiaolongbao and two or three side dishes inside.
"You're here to bring me food?" asked Yunxiao in surprise, with joy and excitement on his face.
Aunt Han nodded heavily, and tears seemed to be flashing secretly in her eyes.
"Thank you, Auntie, I didn't expect that I could eat your buns before I died, I'm so lucky!" Yunxiao said with a smile, inexplicably moved in his heart.
Aunt Han softened and said sadly: "Little brother, don't say that, I wronged you that day, the more I think about it, the more I feel sorry for you, and this meal can be regarded as my reparation to you." ”
Yunxiao shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I have never blamed the eldest lady!"
When Aunt Han heard him say this, she felt more and more uncomfortable, thinking that he was about to behead, she said from the bottom of her heart: "Child, you are a good boy, you must be tough over there, you can't be bullied casually anymore, you know?"
Yunxiao's heart instantly rushed to his heart, feeling indescribable warmth, and at the moment of death, someone praised and cared, which had never been seen before. He bowed his head deeply and said the word "um" heavily.
Aunt Han took out the food in the basket and fed it to Yunxiao little by little, Yunxiao ate it carefully, chewing slowly, only to feel that this was the best meal in the world, even if it was the last meal.
"Auntie, I was beheaded because I was related to the imperial court, and everyone respects me, so if you come to bring me food, aren't you afraid that I will affect you?" Yunxiao suddenly asked halfway through eating.
Aunt Han smiled and said, "What is there to be afraid of, my loess is almost up to my neck, and I am not afraid of them!"
Yunxiao felt the warmth of the world for the first time, and the person who gave him warmth was the enemy of the day. In embarrassment, he suddenly had a sour nose, looked at her, and said sincerely: "Auntie, thank you!"
Aunt Han saw that this thin young man was getting more and more excited, and the sadness in her heart increased unabated, and before she knew it, two lines of tears had slid down her cheeks, she was also a mother, how could she not mourn when she saw such a young child dying.
Yunxiao saw her crying, and couldn't bear to make her sad again, so he quickly stabilized his mind and quickly finished eating the food in the basket. This was the best and happiest meal he had ever eaten in his life, and there was not a single grain left, like a whirlwind of clouds.
"Auntie, hurry up! After a long time, seeing that Aunt Han seemed to be unable to leave, Yunxiao looked at Aunt Han's wrinkled face, and was reluctant to persuade.
Aunt Han got up slowly, wiped her mouth and face for Yunxiao with pity, straightened her clothes again, and said painfully: "Child, you go all the way, Auntie will bury you well!"
The sadness was beyond measure, and he left crying after speaking.
Tomorrow is in the middle of the sky, the sun is shining on the earth, standing in the middle of the square on the mast, the reflection is straight, has reached the body. Three o'clock in the afternoon is coming, and Yunxiao's life is coming to an end.
"Senior Sister, is he really dead like this?" the psychic asked softly as he looked at the green-clothed woman on the side without a moment's notice.
"The hour has come, the criminal Yunxiao will be executed immediately, beheaded!" As the terrifying voice sounded, a chopping token fell to the ground.
Jiang Hanmei nodded extremely helplessly, because Wu Zhi, the supervisor of the beheading officer, had already given the order.
"Hoo ......"
The huge autumn wind hung up, stirred people's clothes, and blew people's sorrow. Everyone fell silent, their eyes fixed on the poor boy.
The boy glanced forward one last time, his gaze fixed only on the veiled face, unshifting as the minutes and seconds passed. Perhaps this is the last glimpse into the earthly world, which is fleeting, but it seems to be eternal. Then, a smile broke out of his face, and this smile, faint but gratifying, was perhaps the most thrilling smile the world had ever seen. Then, he calmly closed his eyes.
The ghost-headed broadsword was raised high, and the executioner's face was full of hideousness.
"Whew!"
With the sound of breaking the sky, this knife will be ruthlessly cut down.
It's just that everything didn't go so smoothly, only a loud "dang" sound was heard, and a figure shot like an arrow.
"Who dares to hurt him!"
By the time these words reached the ears, the executioner's sword had been cut in two, and he was prostrate on the ground.
