Unprecedented

Chapter 17 Robbery execution ground

In mid-November, on the outskirts of Shangyang, there was a lot of fine snow.

In the deep night, in the whirling snowstorm, a carriage suddenly stopped in front of the "Julai Inn" on the outskirts of Shangyang.

Qiu Tinglan had been waiting at the door of the inn for a long time. Seeing the carriage arriving, she stepped forward, lifted the curtain of the carriage and said in a low voice, "Hurry up, the room is ready."

At the end of Haishi, there was silence all around.

Long Teng leaned over slightly, carried a person out of the car, looked down at the sleeping face, his eyes flashed with pain, and he quickly entered the inn.

After entering the wing room, Qiu Tinglan looked around and closed the door.He glanced at the sleeping Shuang Lan'er in Long Teng's arms, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with her?"

Long Teng sighed, "She's emotionally unstable. I was worried that she wouldn't be able to take such a big blow, so I fed her drugs all the way. I think, even if she is executed, she will definitely want to see her family for the last time."

Qiu Tinglan nodded, paused, and said worriedly: "Shaoyun, the prince has passed away. Now Shangyang City is under martial law, and Long Xiaoting sent people to guard the eight city gates, so tight that even a fly cannot fly in. You should understand, Long Xiaoting doesn't want you to go back to Shangyang City. Shaoyun, what should I do now?"

Long Teng lowered his head and thought for a while, "There is always a way. You go to get a basin of hot water first, and then get some food. She must be hungry when she wakes up. Also, she has a fever. Boil her a bowl of antipyretic medicine."

Qiu Tinglan nodded, "Okay."

Shuang Lan'er seemed to be trapped in an endless nightmare, occasionally waking up briefly, but unable to move.She knew why she fell into a coma. It was because Long Teng fed her the drug. The coma could indeed make her temporarily forget the pain, but it also made her more afraid of waking up. She was really scared, afraid that if she woke up, Daddy Already dead, the vast world, from now on she is the only one.Her chest hurt so badly, as if her heart had been gouged out.

The dream will eventually wake up, she opened her eyes in a daze, and saw a person next to the bed with her back facing her, wearing a white fox fur, with a straight back like a green pine.

Hearing the movement, Long Teng turned around immediately, handed a cup of hot tea in his hand, and said with concern: "Shuangshuang, you're awake. Would you like some water?"

Shuang Lan'er gently waved away the teacup that Long Teng handed over, looked around the strange room, and made a hoarse voice in her throat, "Where is this?"

Long Teng reached out and touched her forehead, it was a little hot, and said, "We've reached the outskirts of Shangyang City. Shuangshuang has been running around for days, let's rest here for a while, okay?"

Shuang Lan'er sat up suddenly, two tears rolled down, "No, I want to go home—"

Long Teng stared at Shuang Lan'er, she was crying like a lotus flower in the rain, and the poignant beauty pierced his heart.He stared at her intently, with a low tone: "The city defense is too strict, Ting Lan has already gone to think of a way, Shuangshuang——" His words stopped suddenly, it turned out that she in front of her suddenly twitched in pain.

Shuang Lan'er was lying on the side of the bed, the sharp pain was like iron rings sinking into her bones layer by layer, and the rings tightened.

Long Teng hugged Shuang Lan'er tightly, feeling her trembling, not knowing why, and anxiously asked: "What's wrong? Shuangshuang, what's wrong with you?"

Shuang Lan'er was trapped in the quilt as soft as a cloud, the pain was so painful that her eyes were gradually covered with white gauze.She struggled, pushed him away, struggled to get to the bed, and slammed open the window.

Outside the window, the night sky is like a sea of ​​ink, other than that, there is only one color.The vast land, the suburban scenery is desolate and desolate, and the sky is full of snow.The sound of the wind is getting heavier, like a ghost screaming, the cold air penetrates the bones, like a sword cutting each other.

Shuang Lan'er smiled wryly, with a sad expression on her face, and her voice became softer and almost inaudible, "So it's snowing again—" Her soft body slid down against the window sill, and she couldn't help herself in pain.It turned out that it was snowing again, and the poison of the ferret was on the attack, maybe this year will be more painful than last year...

Long Teng Dai frowned, closed the window, and carried Shuang Lan'er back to the bed, "Shuang Shuang, it doesn't matter if you want it, you know medicine, tell me what medicine you need."

Shuang Lan'er shook her head lightly, only sadness remained in her eyes, "There is no cure, just be patient."

"Shuangshuang..." Long Teng's thin lips moved slightly, his slender body trembled, his long eyelashes fluttered, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.After a while, he said: "I'm sorry, I can't help you with your father's matter."

Shuang Lan'er's body hurt even more, and she was unable to say anything for a while.

There was a knock on the door, and the person came in without waiting for someone to open the door.

Qiu Tinglan's brows were still covered with thin snow, she untied her black fur cloak, took out a few hot buns from her bosom and handed them to Long Teng, saying, "At midnight, this is all I have." Seeing Shuang Lan'er waking up, his handsome face froze , I don't know what to say.He somewhat knew what happened to Shuang Lan'er in Prince Rui's Mansion. A seven-foot man might not be able to withstand so many disasters, let alone a weak woman.

Long Teng brought the steamed stuffed bun to Shuang Lan'er's lips, and persuaded him, "Eat a little, and we'll go to the city at dawn."

Qiu Tinglan was puzzled and said: "Shuang Lan'er may be able to get away with a disguise, Shaoyun, how are you going to enter the city? Long Xiaoting's subordinates are not vegetarians, and they have a picture in hand, so it is you."

Long Teng smiled, "I have already thought of a way."

Qiu Tinglan said again: "The emperor ordered to punish the nine clans, and Shuang Lan'er was among them. Wouldn't it be death to go back rashly? Shuang Liancheng is scheduled to be beheaded tomorrow. The strange thing is that the imperial court did not go to arrest Shuang Lan'er. Did Xiao Ting block it on purpose?"

Long Teng shook his head, "Not at all. Back then Long Xiaoting forced Shuang Lan'er to be his concubine. At that time, Shuang Liancheng was guilty of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Just in case, Duan Guifei canceled Shuang Lan'er's account and forged a new one. identity."

"My aunt?" Qiu Tinglan was slightly startled.

"Yes. The Qiu family has always been good at planning ahead." Long Teng replied.

"What if aunt..." Qiu Tinglan showed worry.

Long Teng understood Qiu Tinglan's meaning, and said with a light smile, "Qiu Duanming dare not reveal Shuang Lan'er's identity, otherwise she was deceiving the emperor when she forged her identity back then." After a pause, his voice turned cold, "My father really died of illness Where's my mother? I'm afraid we'll go to hell together."

Qiu Tinglan sighed, "I won't hide it from you, when Liu Liangdi heard that the crown prince had passed away, she knew she was doomed, so she committed suicide in prison the next day."

Long Teng's voice was so calm that it was almost not his own, "I expected it a long time ago." Suddenly, he felt his arm tighten, and looked down, it turned out that Shuang Lan'er was holding his arm tightly, and her tears were dripping down the back of his hand It seems to be able to burn him through.He pressed her hand lightly, "The dead are gone, we should try our best to fight for those who are still alive. I want to meet Grandpa Huang, and I ask Grandpa Huang to give me a deadline no matter what. I will be able to find out the truth." Turning his eyes, he asked Qiu Tinglan, "My father died suddenly, why did Shuang Liancheng participate in the murder of the princess? It's really weird."

Qiu Tinglan said: "It's a coincidence. The crown prince passed away, and the East Palace was in chaos. A court lady accidentally knocked over the silk emerald emerald bottle that was a tribute from the Western Regions. Who knew that there was another mechanism in the bottle. A strange poison was found. ——Fire-cold poison. And the person who concocted this poison is Shuang Liancheng."

Fire cold poison!
Shuang Laner frowned.

Qiu Tinglan took over the words and said: "Indeed. The prince was mediocre back then, and the young Long Xiaoting was quite appreciated by the emperor. The prince was worried about losing his status, so he tried his best to catch Long Xiaoting's handle. It happened that his sister Qiu Peiyin and Long Xiaoting Regarding Xiaoting's matter, the prince secretly locked his sister and Long Xiaoting in another courtyard. He wanted them to write down their statements and then announce the palace scandal to the public so that Long Xiaoting would never be able to stand up again. No results in January. I don't know the specific situation. Later, we finally found them. That day I led the guards into the other courtyard, and I went to save Long Xiaoting first. My sister Qiu Keyin went to save my sister Qiu Peiyin, it's too late for my younger sister to arrive, the prince's people have already poured the fire and cold poison into my sister's throat, and my younger sister went to snatch it, but her hands were contaminated with a little fire and cold poison, and she fell ill from then on."

Shuang Lan'er took a deep breath and said: "It turns out that Qiu Keyin has been poisoned by fire and cold, no wonder he needs the most yin thing as a medicine.

As if recalling the painful past, Qiu Tinglan sighed, "The fire-cold poison is extremely strong, my sister twitched in pain, exhausted her last strength, bit her ten fingers and wrote a blood book on the ground, admitting that she was lonely and seducing Long Xiaoting, everything is in jeopardy." Long Xiaoting had nothing to do with it. When the emperor arrived, the elder sister died. At this point, the emperor had no choice but to let it go and not investigate further. The hateful thing is that there is no trace of the fire and cold poison in the pulse, which cannot prove that the prince was poisoned. Unexpectedly Many years later...the Huohan Poison can still be found...the bottle containing the Huohan Poison is very unique, and I found Shuang Liancheng by following the clues..."

At this point, Qiu Tinglan looked at Shuang Lan'er, "I didn't mean to blame you. Maybe your father was also persecuted."

"It's really my father who prepared this medicine?" Shuang Lan'er's face was a little pale, her heart suddenly despaired, and she said in a trembling voice: "Maybe it was really my father who prepared it, and it is very likely that my father used my blood as a poison at that time. His blood can be used as medicine..."

Seeing Shuang Lan'er's sad expression, Long Teng patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her softly: "Once I was an official, I got stuck in the mud and couldn't help myself. Your father was involved in the royal family strife more than 20 years ago. If the crime is relegated, you will be able to retreat from the whole body, but this drama has only ended now." After finishing speaking, he shook his head and sighed, "I am tired of all this."

Qiu Tinglan also sighed with emotion: "It's a pity that Long Xiaoting's feet are deep in the mud, and he can't see through it no matter what. If it wasn't for my father's hard work, I would not be the second-rank official of the frontier. Emperor, I will definitely resign from my official position. At that time—" He suddenly smiled, "Shaoyun, I will help you hold up your business in the Western Regions at that time, how about it?"

Long Teng's tone was extremely shallow, "Ting Lan, those are all things to say later. At the beginning, my father persecuted Qiu Peiyin and sent me away on purpose. If I were here, the following things would never happen. Ting Lan, after all these years, it's hard to do anything. You've always considered me a friend."

Qiu Tinglan was silent for a moment, "I know you are different from them. In fact, my father's methods are not vicious. He fights for power, fame and fortune all his life. In the end, he doesn't know why. After all, his temples are half white." He sighed, "Shaoyun, My father knew that marrying my sister to the prince would end like this one day, but he insisted on doing it. Why didn't he say that my father was the real murderer of my sister."

"Ting Lan, have you ever thought about it?" Long Teng's voice suddenly became heavy, "Qiu Peiyin wrote a blood book before she died. Is it Baolong Xiaoting or Baoqiu's family? Could it be that before she died, someone told her What?"

Qiu Tinglan stood up, propped up the wooden window, and looked at the snowflakes outside the house through the gap. What is the truth?Maybe he is afraid of knowing, so it is better to cherish the best memories of his family in his heart.

Long Teng's thin lips parted slightly, and he didn't say anything else.

Qiu Tinglan stared at Feixue in a daze, Dongfang gradually revealed paleness, and he said softly: "It's dawn, we're ready to go. Shaoyun, how can you enter the city?"

Long Teng waved to Qiu Tinglan and whispered a few words in his ear.

Qiu Tinglan raised her eyes, her eyes were filled with surprise, "Shaoyun, you really decided to do this?"

Long Teng pushed him, "Stop talking nonsense! Do as I say!"

The corner of Qiu Tinglan's mouth twitched, she went out for a while, and then returned soon.

Shuang Lan'er didn't expect that Long Teng's way of infiltrating Shangyang City was——his disguise as a woman!

At this moment, Long Teng was sitting in front of the dressing table, Shuang Lan'er tied his satin-like black hair into a hibiscus bun, and put a gold hairpin on the hairpin.Long Teng was born glamorous, but after decorating, his face was like a lotus and charming.

Qiu Tinglan got Long Teng a set of pink winter shirts from nowhere. The skirts are wide and the belts hang like butterfly wings.

After changing, Long Teng asked, "How? Does it look like it?"

Qiu Tinglan couldn't hold back anymore, and finally laughed out loud, "It's really beautiful in the world. Shaoyun, you are really a man in vain, and you must be reborn as a woman in the next life, and then I will marry you and go home."

Long Teng gave Qiu Tinglan a hard look, then turned to look at Shuang Lan'er who was stunned and stunned, and said angrily, "Why, I haven't seen a beautiful woman before! Really, it's so rare."

Shuang Lan'er was stunned for a long time, she would definitely make fun of him normally.Long Teng dressed up as a woman is really amazing, she is not as good as a woman, she is really ashamed compared to all flowers.It's a pity that her heart was heavy, and she urged: "The city gate is about to open, let's leave quickly."

Qiu Tinglan said: "The carriage is ready, you pretend to be sisters, Shuang Laner, you are lying in the carriage seriously ill, and you go to the city to join your relatives. If you ask in detail which relatives you go to, you can answer the grocery store of the farmer on East Fifth Street .”

Shuang Lan'er remembered all of them in her heart.

After everything was settled, Shuang Lan'er and Long Teng came to the south gate of Shangyang City, Shangdong Gate.

At that time, the wind was blowing and the snow was covering the wind, covering the sky and covering the earth, and the entire Shangyang City was shrouded in a white mist.

The weather was suddenly cold, and the people were wearing thick cotton-padded clothes, waiting at the gate of the city, rubbing their cold hands from time to time.With the sound of "嘎", the heavy city gate was slowly opened, revealing a bustling world.

Two teams of black-clothed guards ran out from the city and separated on both sides of the city gate.They were all dressed in black gold robes, buckskin cuffed boots, python belts around their waists, and shining spears in their hands.

In the carriage, Long Teng quietly leaned into Shuang Lan'er's ear, "These are the personal guards under Long Xiaoting's command, it seems that he does not hesitate to use all the personal guards to enforce martial law. Don't say anything later, stay in the carriage and listen to me arrange."

Shuang Laner nodded.

At this time, the head of the guard in black suddenly raised his voice: "Attention everyone, keep your eyes bright. Our goal is a man and a woman. Everyone has seen the portraits a long time ago, so cheer me up!"

"Yes!" The black-clothed guards replied, their voices were so loud that they seemed to be able to penetrate the hazy sky.

Shuang Lan'er's heart sank, it seemed that Long Xiaoting had expected that she would come back with Long Teng.Long Teng had disguised himself before, but she only painted his face pale, so she didn't know if he could get away with it.

Feeling troubled, it was their turn to enter the city.

Long Teng got out of the car and handed over the identity document that Qiu Tinglan had just obtained.

At this time, horseshoes slammed, and a large group of officers and soldiers came galloping.It looked like a royal guard, but the leader was Fengtian, the commander of Prince Rui's residence.Looking through the curtain of the carriage, Shuang Lan'er's heart skipped a beat, Long Teng stepped aside, snowflakes were flying all over the sky, Fengtian only glanced at Long Teng, and passed by.

Shuang Lan'er felt relieved, but fortunately Fengtian didn't recognize it.

In front of the city gate, calm was restored.

The headed guard in black returned the identity document to Long Teng. He was stunned when he saw Long Teng's beautiful face, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he asked, "Who is in the carriage? Why didn't you get out of the carriage?"

Long Teng pretended to be soft-spoken: "This is my sister-in-law. She was sick and didn't dare to let her get out of the carriage for fear of disturbing the official. We are here to join relatives, the grocery store of the East Fifth Street. If the official doesn't Don't worry, just go in and see for yourself."

The guards in black looked into the carriage, and saw a woman with a face as pale as paper, her long hair covering most of her face, her whole body was twitching, as if she was in great pain.The black-clothed guard looked disgusted, waved his hand and said, "That's all, you can go in."

Long Teng didn't show his face, he led the carriage forward slowly, he was about to pass the checkpoint, success was in sight, he showed a smug smile on his face.

"Stop!" At this moment, the guard in black yelled loudly, Long Teng stopped in his tracks, lightly placed his hand on the dagger at his waist, turned around slowly, and smiled brightly, "I don't know what else is going on, sir?"

That smile was like a red plum blossoming suddenly in the snow. The black-clothed guard was stunned for a while, and stared at Long Teng. Long Teng put on a shy look on his face, but his expression was a bit more vigilant.

The guard in black looked at Long Teng, suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand to scrape Long Teng's cheek, and said softly, "Girl, are you married yet? Where are your parents?"

Long Teng immediately understood the intention of the black-clothed guards.The feeling is - I have a crush on him!To tease him in public!He held back the surging anger and was about to speak.

I don't want to have a cold voice to take over the words, "Master, this is a concubine, I will take it one step later. I'm sorry, sorry, I caused trouble to the master." After speaking, someone put a silver ingot into the hands of the black-clothed guard .

Although the guard in black is not a beauty, but he got money, his face softened a little, "Hey, it's Boss Feng! I heard that Boss Feng has a big business, but he has never married. It turns out that there is a concubine in his family. He is really a blessed person." Said Well, he was still unwilling, his slightly obscene eyes swept across Long Teng's beautiful face, his eyes were burning as if he wanted to strip Long Teng naked.

The anger in Long Teng's eyes was even worse, Feng Yanxue quickly pulled Long Teng away, and led the carriage into the city.

This hurdle, without any danger, was finally passed.

Long Teng turned his head and glanced at the city gate, cursing: "Bastard, let me know who he is in the future, I'll definitely make him look good."

Feng Yanxue looked Long Teng up and down, with a suppressed smile in her voice, she said, "Shaoyun, who told you that you are beautiful. In my opinion, the top card of Zuihonglou is not even one-tenth of yours."

Long Teng was even more annoyed, and gave Feng Yanxue a vicious look, "And you! You Feng Yanxue, you are a concubine! Just wait! Let's see how I deal with you from now on."

Feng Yanxue apologized, and hurriedly changed the topic.He led the carriage to a place where no one was around, and leaned forward in the middle of the carriage, "Shuang Lan'er, your father is parading through the streets in the prison carriage, do you want to see him? I will take the carriage away, and you won't attract attention by walking."

Shuang Lan'er's eyes were full of gratitude, and she dragged Long Teng towards the bustling market.Just now in the carriage, the ferret's poison flared up again, and the black-clothed guard happened to see her poisonous hair, and her whole body convulsed.Thank God, although it was a biting pain, it helped her escape the search smoothly.

At this moment, Shangyang City is white everywhere.

White snow, white curtains, and white sacrificial flags.The crown prince passed away, and the entire Xianglong Kingdom mourned together, and people were only allowed to wear plain clothes.On the street, there are pale and frightened faces.The crown prince passed away, the foundation of the country was shaken, and the battle for the throne was about to set off another bloody storm.

In the market, a prison cart slowly rolled over the snow.Long Teng and Shuang Lan'er were still late, and they could only see the blurred back of the old man in the prison car through the sea of ​​people.

People along the way threw vegetable leaves and eggs at the prison cart one after another. The people in the prison cart did not move, but buried their heads lower.

Shuang Lan'er's hand was tightly held by Long Teng.Her nails dug into his palm hard, and he became more conscious in the pain.For some reason, his eyes were slightly moist, and he didn't dare to look at her sad and forbearing expression. .

The first snow in the early winter of this year fell so heavily and came so fiercely.

The snow seemed to have swept away all unnecessary things on the ground, and all the edges and corners became extremely round.

Shuang Lan'er stood frozen in the wind and snow, as if all the sounds around her were far away, and only her father's old back was in her eyes, gradually blurring.Since the day she married Li Zhixiao, she has never been reunited with her family.She thought about it day and night, and she worked hard to fight for it, but what she waited for was the bad news of her mother, and what she waited for was a farewell to her father.

It was like a block of ice fell down, crushing her heart to pieces.When her father's desolate back was about to disappear around the corner, her heart shook violently, as if the last door in her heart was suddenly closed.Staggering a step, she wanted to rush forward.But Long Teng grabbed her with one arm, and said softly, "Shuangshuang, no."

Shuang Lan'er bit her lip tightly, bleeding profusely.The ferret's poison kept breaking out, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't bear to live. Suddenly, her feet went limp and she fell into Long Teng's arms.

In the middle of Shangyang City, a dealer in East Fifth Street.

Qiu Tinglan came alone, looked around the empty room, saw Long Teng staring out the window in a daze, and asked suspiciously, "Where is Shuang Lan'er?"

Long Teng's eyes were dim, and he pointed out the window, "She is dancing outside."

Qiu Tinglan was very puzzled, and followed Long Teng's line of sight to look out.

I saw that the fine snow was flying, Shuang Lan'er's hair was flying, and her skirt was like unfurling flowers, dancing on the cold steps.

In the world wrapped in silver makeup, the ice edges condense into crystal pillars, and the dim light of the lantern fire reflects crystal light on the ice edges, all of which fall on Shuang Lan'er.She was originally a beautiful woman, but at this moment, she looked even more cold.The sleeves fluttered lightly, and the long hair swayed. Every time she danced, light snow rose one after another, landed on her sleeves and skirt, and then flew again.

After the dance was over, she stood quietly on the spot, her delicate posture made people feel sad.Suddenly, she danced again.

"Beautiful, really beautiful." Qiu Tinglan was stunned and praised sincerely.

"She saw Shuang Liancheng in the prison car, and she has been dancing like this since she came back." Long Teng's voice was choked with undetectable sobs, "She said, the name of this dance is 'Broken Moon', and she said that after practicing, the whole family During the reunion dinner, she wants to dance for her parents. I have never seen her dance, and I thought she was only good at medicine. Unexpectedly, her dance is as white as snow, pure and flawless..."

Qiu Tinglan's throat rolled, even a seven-foot man touched his heart.

Long Teng took a deep breath, "She knows that tomorrow Shuang will be executed, and she hasn't shed a single tear. If she cries, even if she cries to death, I won't be as worried as I am now. Ting Lan, even if the hope is slim, I'm going to try my best!"

Qiu Tinglan turned his eyes and looked surprised, "Are you going to face the saint?"

Long Teng shook his head lightly, "It's too late, let's rob the prison first! If I succeed tomorrow, I will go to the Third Division in person. There is a case in the case. My father, my mother, and Shuang Liancheng, what happened more than ten years ago, a few years ago There are countless doubts, and I will be able to string them together. As long as Shuang is not dead, the truth will be revealed in time. If Shuang is dead, all the clues will be broken."

"Prison robbery?" Qiu Tinglan closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, "Okay, I will do my best to help you!"

Turning around, Long Teng walked into the room, poured a cup of clear tea, lightly shook the yellow paper bag in his hand, all the white powder fell into the emerald green tea, and instantly disappeared.When he came outside the house, he lightly pressed Shuang Lan'er's dancing shoulder, and said in a warm voice, "Shuangshuang, you must be thirsty after dancing for a long time, would you like a glass of water?"

Shuang Lan'er stopped, looked at Long Teng's beautiful eyes like raindrops falling from the eaves, and nodded slightly.Her body, the poison of the ferret is still onset, but the pain in the body is far less than the pain in the heart, it has long been numb.She took the teacup and brought it to her lips. She already noticed something strange, it was drugged!

Astonishment flashed in her silent ashes-like eyes, and she just wanted to push away the teacup in her hand.

Unexpectedly, Long Teng clasped her jaw firmly with his palm, forcing her to look up.

As the warm tea slipped into her throat, Shuang Lan'er felt that the air in her chest was getting thinner and her consciousness was gradually blurring. She only looked at Long Teng with sad eyes, and said in a weak voice, "No, let me see Daddy for the last time... Please……"

In the end, her head slipped gently from his shoulder blades, and slowly fell into his arms, mooring silently, like a tired and sleeping chick.

Long Teng hugged Shuang Lan'er horizontally, and said in a low voice, "Leave the rest to me. You're tired, get a good night's sleep, be good——"

The next day, the wind was strong and the snow was tight, and the snow covered the feet.

A big hole seemed to be broken in the sky, and large flakes of snowflakes fell one after another.The sharp whistling sound continuously hovered above the head.

Shangyangcheng Market.

"Get out, get out!"

Two black-clothed guards cleared the way, drinking loudly.A pair of officers and soldiers walked around a prison wagon with long guns in their hands.

Long Teng, who was hidden in the crowd, suddenly showed a cold expression, and he looked at the prison car from a distance.Waiting to see the person holding the formation, the golden court clothes, the flying dragon rising, like a sun rising suddenly in a cloudy sky, the intimidating aura is approaching like a barrier.His heart sank, unexpectedly, today Long Xiaoting was in charge personally.

For a moment, Long Xiaoting sat on the presiding judge on the execution ground.

The wind and snow raged, blowing away his long hair at the temples, revealing an expression as if frozen by frost.

Someone shouted, "It's time!"

Long Xiaoting's eyes stopped on the stick in front of him. For a full moment, a wooden sign was stuck in the stick alone, and the word "cut" and "chug" pierced his eyes.

Below, Shuang Liancheng was kneeling on the execution ground in prison uniform.Although he is only in his 40s, half of his hair is gray.Black and white hair mixed together, trembling in the wind.In his eyes there is only the indifference of seeing through life and death, as if the following capital punishment is just a kind of detachment for him.

Time passed slowly.

The atmosphere is also gelling.

Long Xiaoting was stunned for a long time, although he held the wooden sign in his hand, he didn't drop it for a long time.

This kind of waiting is undoubtedly suffocating, and the deputy supervisor whispered in Long Xiaoting's ear, "My lord, the time has come."

Long Xiaoting was slightly stunned, his hand trembled, and he dropped it in an instant.

The deputy supervisor raised his voice: "It's time, behead!"

The executioner pulled out the wooden sign that had been stuck behind Shuang Liancheng's back, and pressed Shuang Liancheng down with force, forming a posture of bowing his head and kneeling in humiliation.The big knife in his hand was shining with a cold light, and it was about to fall through the wind and snow.

At this time, the silver light flashed, and the sharp blade hit the wrist of the executioner's hand. The executioner's hand grunted in pain, and the big knife in his hand fell to the ground, making a crisp "clang" sound.

Then there was another "bang", and there was a thunderous noise not far away.The thunder became louder and denser, and it took a while to clearly distinguish that it was not thunder, but an explosion.

The crowd suddenly became chaotic, looking around, not knowing what happened.I don't know who shouted, "It's not good, the crown prince passed away, and the Shangyang City coup d'etat! There's a fight, everyone run away!"

Another shouted, "Run away, officers and soldiers are killing people indiscriminately behind, blood, blood everywhere!"

People's hearts are inherently fragile, the situation is chaotic, and they can't tell the truth from the fake. They immediately watched the people fight and scramble, and fled in all directions, smashing the black-clothed guards guarding the execution ground into a mess.

Long Xiaoting narrowed his eyes coldly, he knew that things would never be so simple.Before he could give an order, a puff of white smoke suddenly burst out from the execution platform, immediately obscuring all the sights in front of his eyes.

Wait until the fog clears with the wind.On the empty execution platform, how could there be a figure of Shuang Liancheng?
The wind is blowing everywhere.

Long Xiaoting walked up to the execution platform slowly, with a cold expression on his face. He wore a velvet cloak on his shoulders, and a red gold collar button pinned to his neckline, which gave off a cool luster in the gloomy sky.

The snowflakes are flying, and the crystal clear five petals are like tears.Not long after, the platform was completely covered, and everything was as before, as if nothing had happened before.

For a long time.

The deputy supervisor tremblingly came to ask: "My lord, what should I do?"

Long Xiaoting said indifferently: "The emperor's order must not be violated. Find out what happened to the eight city gates and report immediately. They will never dare to stay in Shangyang City. They must find a way to leave now. I want to know exactly which direction they fled to Chase again!"

The deputy supervisor went to do it immediately, and came back an hour later to report: "My lord, the eight city gates are all normal, and they are all entered and exited by ordinary carriages, and there is no abnormality."
