In the third year of Qianyuan in the Great Zhou Dynasty, winter.
General Bai repelled the enemy in Xingping Plain, and the emperor held a celebration banquet in Changle Palace to welcome the general.
later…
Later, the general got drunk at the banquet and strayed into the Linfang Pavilion of the saint. Seeing the beauty of the saint, he had evil thoughts.
Winter of the same year.
The general was given a cup of poisoned wine by the emperor and died.

The surroundings were dim, the air was filled with the smell of rotting straw, the mottled and damp walls were covered with moss, and the cell boss could be vaguely heard whispering not far away.
Bai Xiyu sat in a corner of the cell and closed his eyes.
He thought of those things about him, about Master, those things that no one would care about a long time ago.
After another period of time, those prison bosses seemed to have left, and the surroundings were quiet, without any sound. Bai Xiyu opened his eyes, carefully pushed aside the straw on the ground, and stretched out his fingers to swipe continuously on a piece of blackened soil that came out.
What is he writing about? Or are you drawing something
Nobody knows.
The sound of bells ringing in the monastery on Yurong Mountain came from afar. The sound was so distant and so despairing. Bai Xiyu did the math, it turned out that it was Yin time, and in another hour, the sun would be rising.

Had he been here all night
Picking up a handful of wet and cold straw, he covered up the place he had just scratched. But not long after, he lifted the ball of straw again, and wiped away the things he had scratched.
This hour passed very slowly.
When the eunuch who announced the decree came with poisoned wine, Bai Xiyu stood upright in the corner.
The eunuch who announced the decree unfolded the decree in his hand, and drew out his voice: "The criminal Bai Xiyu received the decree—"
He knelt down respectfully, bowed his head, and listened carefully to the imperial decree without saying a word.
The criminal Bai Xiyu, with all his lust, broke into the Linfang Pavilion with the intention of raping the saint. He committed a heinous crime and should be sentenced to death. Think of his meritorious deeds, and give him a glass of poisoned wine. This—
After reading the emperor's decree, the eunuch walked up to Bai Xiyu with a look of contempt: "General, accept the decree."
"Thank you Lord Long En." He kowtowed and took the edict from the eunuch's hand, without any expression on his face from the beginning to the end.
The eunuch waved his hand, and someone behind him walked up to Bai Xiyu with a carved porcelain tray. In that tray was a glass of poisonous wine.
"General, please."
Bai Xiyu stood up and picked up the poisoned wine from the tray.
It was Mao time now, and on the sparkling sea level, a round of red sun was slowly rising, and the golden light filled the entire Zhou Dynasty. But this prison is so dark, the surrounding area is always pitch black, without any light.
The smell of jujube honey could be faintly smelled in the poisoned wine, and a smile finally appeared on Bai Xiyu's face. He raised his head and drank the poisonous wine in the glass.
He knew he was going to die soon, but he didn't feel sorry. He just wanted to see him again, but he didn't want to come.
In a daze, he seemed to have seen the fire in Qingping Town. A boy in black with a black iron mask walked up to him and said to him, "Come with me."
follow me…
——
According to folk rumors, the general Bai Xiyu looked like a ghost, so he had to hide his face with an iron object.
Curious, the eunuch bent down, reached out and took off the mask on his face.
…
The silver mask slipped from the eunuch's hand and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound that echoed in the dark and empty cell for a long time.
