Tengbao felt that he would not be pitted this time. When he walked to the opposite side, he sat down cross-legged, touched his clothes, and found that it was still a prison shirt. He quickly took off, picked up the baggage on the ground, untied it, and saw his official uniform. , Hurriedly changed into his official uniform and patted his own clothes. For the first time, he found himself wearing his own official uniform, so he felt so safe.
"Master Yuan."
Because of the false alarm, Tengbao's heart finally calmed down, and his name was much better, and he said: "Why did you cheat me yesterday? Why did you regret it again today?"
Yuan Chonghuan pondered: "Yesterday it was their arrangement. I didn't know it. After I returned, I found that the replacement was you, so I cut off the way to the practice field today and asked you to come back in exchange for it."
"But it's not necessary." Tengbao swallowed, thinking that since you come and go freely, why don't you run away together? This is Ling Chi, not a joke!
Yuan Chonghuan seemed to understand what he meant, smiled, and asked, "Little friend Ren, what do you think about on the way to the practice field today?"
"I want to bite my tongue and kill myself." Tengbao said with a bitter face; "This is Ling Chi, I can't live better than death, ooh."
"Yeah, but I'm different." Yuan Chonghuan sighed, patted his thigh and said: "I once told you that when I was your age, I was assigned to the Ministry of War. At that time, I personally went to Liaodong. , Almost caught by Tarzi."
"Oh." Tengbao nodded, not knowing what he wanted to say.
"But you will stay in the Ministry of War until you are old." Yuan Chonghuan suddenly laughed, eyebrows curled, infinitely gentle.
A meditative expression appeared on Tengbao's face. After a long while, he nodded and said: "Yes."
"So, I'm different from you." Yuan Chonghuan showed some vicissitudes on his face. He looked up and stared out of the window. The moonlight was like water, streaming down the windowsill, with a flash of light. Asxs, the two of them fell silent at the same time, not far away. Yuan Chonghuan said faintly, "I came because Master Sun was right. This has changed. The disaster of the siege is indeed true. It was caused by Yuan. of."
"No, Lord Yuan."
Because Yuan Chonghuan came back, Tengbao's goodwill for Yuan Chonghuan returned, and he waved his hand to defend him: "Master Yuan, this is Huang Taiji too cunning, it has nothing to do with you."
Yuan Chonghuan grinned: “It’s okay? If it’s okay.” After a pause, he touched his palm: “The Great Victory of Liaodong is the peak of Yuan. Tartar is actually more powerful than we thought. I am not Huang Taiji’s opponent, but Self-righteous, so that the success failed and led to the disaster of the siege, and now, I really woke up."
After speaking, Yuan Chonghuan slowly closed his eyes and spit out; "Let's go."
Hearing this, Tengbao seemed to have something to say, and suddenly heard Yuan Chonghuan said again: "Ecstasy will not last long, you go."
Tengbao is a small person in the end. Hearing this, he was a little flustered. He got up, walked straight out, walked to the door, looked back at Yuan Chonghuan, and saw Yuan Chonghuan sitting cross-legged on the straw, with a peaceful expression, and walked out the door. The breath of Requiem incense was blown away by the clear night breeze. Teng Bao looked up at the moon in the sky, and then looked back at the prison door. He didn’t know what was wrong. He felt cold. He wrapped his clothes tightly. Step out...
Back home, his mother asked him anxiously what's wrong? He only shook his head and didn't speak. He got up in the middle of the night and took out all the property from the family's land lease, wrapped it up, and gave it to his mother and wife.
"Take this, and quickly go back to your hometown, Taiwan, to live." Tengbao said with a serious expression, "I'm afraid this city is about to break."
"What's broken?" Mother asked in shock: "Is Taroko coming again?"
Tengbao stayed silent for a long time, and smiled bitterly: "I am afraid that it will not last. If you want to avoid the chaos, it is better to go to sea."
"What about you?" The newlywed Yaner, his wife was very dissatisfied with the sudden separation.
"Oh, me?" Tengbao gritted his teeth and whispered: "I will chase you soon, and you will settle down. There is still some fertile land in my hometown, so I can live by it." After a while, he said, "You guys. Get down, I'm relieved too."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, and they nodded in agreement. Tengbao ordered the servants to pack up their things, hired a car and drove all night, and finally sent home back. When the mother and daughter-in-law were sent out of the city, it was bright, knowing Today is the day of Yuan Chonghuan's execution. The common people rushed to Caishikou to watch the punishment. There were more and more people along the way. When Tengbao walked to the execution ground, there were already crowds of people.
Tengbao couldn't squeeze in. He was a little anxious, so he could only look outside. When it was crowded, he suddenly heard the crowd over there sensation, and someone shouted: "Come on, here."
With such a shout, the execution ground suddenly beat gongs and drums, shouting: "Come on, come on, five taels of silver and one dollar, who will buy it, who will buy it?"
"I'll buy it." Many people began to squeeze forward. Those who had no money could only move back. That's it. Tengbao was squeezed to the front. Seeing that the execution ground had been laid out, the pergola in front of it was squeezed. Below are the prison officers. , The one in the middle was a face-to-face official, who didn't know how he came from. On the left was Pang Chengheng, and on the right was Eunuch Yang, sitting there with a triumphant expression, and whispered to the little eunuch next to him.
Yuan Chonghuan took off his coat and tied it to the execution pole. He looked at the excited people with a look of indifference. The two executioners next to him, one sharpening a knife, and one washing hands in the basin, were busy, and the third executioner was busy. Holding the gongs and drums, while beating them, he shouted: "One or two silver pieces, one or two silver pieces!" Probably because it was too expensive, it went from fifty taels of silver to one or two pieces of silver.
Because of the cheap price, the people who were squeezed away from behind came up again and said one after another: "I buy, I buy."
Teng Bao was originally mixed in the front, crowded by the power from behind, and then stepped forward a little bit, and quickly squeezed to the front of the crowd, watching the executioner holding a knife and making gestures on Yuan Chonghuan’s face, as if he was looking at where to shoot the knife. .
"Hey, sir, do you want to buy?" The third executioner saw Tengbao at the forefront, but didn't pay for the money. He pushed him very dissatisfied, and said, "If you don't buy, then go back."
With just such a push, Tengbao leaned back, he only felt that countless hands were pulling at him, but before his eyes, it was always Yuan Chonghuan's indifferent face.
"I'll buy it." He took out five taels of silver from his pocket and raised his head to the executioner. When the executioner saw the rich master, he grinned, patted him on the shoulder, and pulled him to the forefront: " Stand here, stand here, here you can see the most clearly with the knife."
Tengbao was dragged by him to the place closest to Yuan Chonghuan. When he raised his head, he saw that the executioner had already taken the knife. The first cut was on the chest. A piece of fleshy flesh was dug off with a skillful cut. Pain, trembling slightly, Shenyou's expression was a bit awake, and his eyes gradually had a focus, and finally he finally saw the person in front of him-it turned out to be Tengbao, wearing a homely casual coat, wearing a square flat towel, honest and honest There was a bit of horror on his face, and he was looking at himself blankly.
