Let Me Shoulder This Blame!

Chapter 5: Great betrayer

Views:

Su Shi has been locked up for a day and a night.

As a crime-ridden imperial marshal, of course he will not be treated well in the hands of the rebel army.

She didn't eat or drink, she was exposed to the cold, and the wound was still bleeding faintly. Su Shi was very pleased with the health value that had dropped to the edge of sixty. He took some melted snow water to moisten his throat, and lay down on his back with his arms pillowed on his head.

For the assessment of [Take the blame until death], the system prohibits any suicidal behavior, but if he is accidentally eliminated by the outraged rebel army, it will undoubtedly have a very tragic ending.

Maybe the rating could be higher.

Thinking about it this way, Su Shi, who was somehow forgiven by the protagonist, felt better.

His original plan was to secretly help Vino create a brand new country, and then, with everyone's misunderstanding and infamy, be buried in the darkness before dawn.

Now it seems that the difficulty of realizing this plan seems a bit big. But he suddenly withdrew his hand. If Vino could seize the chaotic period of the government and give it a hard blow, it might not be hopeless to take advantage of the situation to win the game.

Anyway, as long as it is dark before dawn, it doesn't seem to make much difference at which step he falls.

The sky had already darkened again, and through the gaps in the dilapidated roof, sparse starlight could still be vaguely seen.

Su Shi rested his pillow on his arm, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help yawning sleepily.

There was no pain anywhere on his body, and the high fever caused him to shiver unconsciously, and his vision was a little blurred, and the night sky, which was illuminated with soft light, was unexpectedly beautiful.

After five years of hard work, except for the few days when he was seriously injured and comatose, he hadn't enjoyed such relaxing treatment for a long time.

Given his current physical condition, he may not be able to wake up again after falling asleep.

Maybe that's good too, since his inescapable reconnection with the main character has kept things more and more out of his control. If this continues, maybe even the experience points that have already been earned may not be able to be kept.

Consciousness was in a trance for a while, and my body was getting colder and colder. Su Shi curled up instinctively, coughed twice, and vaguely heard the sound of the door being pushed open behind him.

Several generals of the rebel army rushed in suddenly.

Before Su Shi could react, he was picked up by the leader's young man with red eyes, and he leaned against the wall: "You traitor, you will pay for His Royal Highness Vino!"

"What did you say?"

The consciousness that was about to slip into the abyss suddenly withdrew, Su Shi narrowed his eyes, and immediately woke up: "What's wrong with Vino, what happened to him?"

The intense heartbeat made him a little breathless, his cheeks were still flushed with high fever, but his lips had turned pale.

It has reached this point. If the mission fails here, he will definitely turn around and blow up the presidential palace directly to the sky.

"Al, wait a minute."

Then the young man who came in raised his hand to stop his comrade-in-arms, looked at him thoughtfully, and said in a heavy tone: "The news revealed from the presidential palace just now, His Highness Vino was seriously injured and died. In order to clear up the suspicion as soon as possible, The body has been smuggled out of the presidential palace."

It was only now that Su Shi regained his composure, and urgently checked the protagonist's health, which was still alive and kicking, before secretly heaving a sigh of relief, lowering his eyes and thinking about what was going on.

The young man named Al's eyes were red with sadness, and he pulled his arm harder: "What are you waiting for? Since the Terence government can do such a thing, we will also kill Dana and pay for His Royal Highness Vino's life." Already!"

"Nightingale, has the news already spread?"

This moment of effort was enough to clarify the situation. Su Shi's tone was low, ignoring the tyrannical force in his neck that almost suffocated him, and his eyes were fixed on the young man who spoke afterward.

He knew the situation of the rebel army well. The young man's real name was Carter, and he was born as a civilian. He was his and Vino's junior in the military academy, and he was also a think tank in the rebel army.

At this time, he is probably the only one who can control the situation.

The familiar title called the young man's eyes narrowed, and he stared at him for a long while before finally hesitating to say: "Yes, Dana—senior."

"Listen, there are people in the government who want to replace me. They will deliberately release this kind of news, telling you to kill me in anger, and then desperate to avenge Vino."

The short-term accumulated strength has been exhausted, and Dana struggled to raise his hand to hold Al's arm, but it was almost by the opponent's hold that he barely supported his body so that he would not slip to the ground.

"I can assure you that Vino is still alive. There must be an ambush in the presidential palace. Without Vino's leadership, if you go there, you are going to kill yourself. You should know what to do..."

Su Shi was not afraid that these people would get rid of him in this way, but he was afraid that they would not be able to hold back the excitement, and would run to the Presidential Palace to die with their enthusiasm and recklessness.

His mission is based on the success of the uprising. If the rebel army is severely injured this time, even if he is blamed to death, the mission will also fail.

The clear worry in his eyes finally had no more room to hide it. Su Shi panted lightly, his pale brows were tightly furrowed, and he looked persistently at Carter who was still hesitating.

Al couldn't understand what he said, and slammed him against the wall anxiously: "You said His Highness Vino is fine, why should we believe you?!"

"You can hang me up and put me to death. If it makes you feel better, do whatever you want."

Su Shi twitched the corners of his lips helplessly, barely straightened his body, and spoke word by word, trying to speak weak words as clearly as possible.

"Let me make a bet with you - if he doesn't come back within three days, you will kill me. Before that, you must not be impulsive, but be steady..."

Finally, his physical strength was exhausted, Su Shi's voice weakened, his arms fell weakly, and his eyes slowly closed.

Al instinctively caught his fallen body, but was shrunk by the scorching heat under the clothes, and instinctively looked back at the young man who made the decision: "Carter, what should I do?"

"Just do as he said, you look good on people, and I will appease everyone's emotions."

Carter's eyes struggled for a while, but he made a decision in a deep voice, turned around and walked quickly to the door.

When Su Shi woke up again, he was already suspended from the wooden beam.

The wound on the shoulder has long been numb, and the arms hanging backwards seem to have lost consciousness. Su Shi blinked his eyes, and was about to suspect that he was so brave that he ignored the pain, when a reminder to deduct experience points sounded right next to his ear.

"It is detected that the host's pain value is too high, and an injection of [special anesthetic] will be given. Fifty experience points will be deducted, and the effective time will be 24 hours. Thank you for your patronage, and look forward to continuing to serve you next time."

Although it is true that you can't buy it at this time, but if you buy and sell it while you are unconscious, the system is still a profiteer through and through.

Su Shi sighed very lightly, endured a burst of dizziness, and tried to pillow on his arm.

The sound of the iron chain shaking startled the young man guarding the door, and the half-grown child, who was not as tall as his shoulders, actually cast a cold and hostile look at him.

Dumbly twitching the corners of his lips, Su Shi wisely gave up the idea of ordering some water, and closed his eyes again in relief.

In any case, as long as I am tortured, I can temporarily divert and relieve the anger of these people, then I can delay it...

He was thinking hard about Vino's plan when suddenly there was a loud commotion outside the window.

It doesn't look like there is any danger or accident, but if you listen carefully, you can even hear extremely happy cheers.

The boy jumped up abruptly, wanting to take a look, but then remembered his duty, and hastily withdrew his arm that was about to open the door.

"Go and see."

Looking at the suppressed expectation in the young man's eyes, Su Shi suddenly spoke softly and smiled encouragingly at him.

His voice, which hadn't been spoken for a long time, was so hoarse that only breath was left, the young man suddenly sullenly looked at him vigilantly: "Traitor, I will not be fooled by you!"

Su Shi smiled helplessly, sighed and turned his head slightly.

The noise seemed to fade away.

Finally, the sound of hasty and clear footsteps came from outside the door. Su Shi blinked in confusion, then raised his head subconsciously, and the dilapidated wooden door just happened to be pushed open.

He met a pair of eyes burning with blazing fire.

Vino's chest was heaving violently, and he strode towards him non-stop for a moment, and untied the shackles that had locked Dana's wrists.

He was still late after all.

With the lieutenant's assistance, he successfully confuses Terence's men with suspended animation, and is secretly transported out of the presidential palace in a hurry. After waking up, he kept rushing back for a moment, but still saw that person suspended in front of him, so pale that he seemed to disappear in the next moment.

His broken body could no longer support even the shortest stand, and as soon as Su Shicai was put down, he fell on the opponent's body without a sound.

Vino's hands trembled violently. He hardly knew how to hold the person in his arms that seemed to be broken if touched. He just hugged him cautiously, knelt down and told him to lie in his arms.

Dana's body was so cold that he was terrified. If it wasn't for the bright light still shining in those eyes, he almost thought that the person in his arms had already lost any breath of life.

Very good, I finally brushed up a good task node.

The body that suddenly relaxed quickly lost the last of its strength, Su Shi was speechless, and blinked in relief, finally showing a happy smile between his brows and eyes.

Just like this, leaving the world in the arms of the protagonist is tragic and beautiful no matter how you look at it. Although the fly in the ointment lost the misunderstanding of the protagonist, it can be regarded as a quite satisfactory ending after all.

Seemingly understanding the relief in his eyes, Vino groped to hold his hand, held his breath and shook his head, his eyes were almost bloodshot.

Su Shi frowned apologetically, and finally couldn't hold on any longer, and leaned into Wei Nuo's arms weakly, resting his forehead on his neck quietly.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.

Consciousness passed quickly, and Su Shi vaguely felt that his body was being hugged tightly, so strong that it almost crushed him completely.

It's coming soon, as long as he lasts until the death reading is completely over, he will be able to achieve the achievement of taking the blame until death, and he will be able to leave this world with peace of mind.

The life value has dropped to 30%, and the deep voice faintly rang in the ear, it was cut into pieces, and there were bright bloodstains.

"Do you know what he did..."

The author has something to say:

Su Shi: Wait a moment, and then try to rescue him. :)
