The three of Meng Jinhua were escorted to the execution ground. At this time, Lin Fengniang was already kneeling on the execution platform with shackles.The prison car opened, and the three of them were escorted out of the car by the guards.When Xiao Zhai saw Fengniang, he yelled and rushed to the execution platform, but was firmly restrained by the guards behind him.

"Feng Niang!"

Feng Niang heard his shout, raised her head and looked at him, the eyes of the two intertwined, both were indescribably sad.

"Don't move!" The guard escorted Xiao Zhai to the execution platform, "I've never seen anyone rushing to the execution platform, you are the first."

Xiao Zhai was escorted to the stage and knelt beside Feng Niang.Jinhua and Gao Shiqian were also brought up.The four of them knelt side by side on the execution platform with shackles.

Xiao Zhai looked at Feng Niang beside him, his eyes were red, and the corners of his mouth trembled: "Why, how could this happen?"

Feng Niang was much calmer than him, she seemed to have accepted the fate of impermanence: "This is our fate, accept our fate..."

"I can't figure it out," Xiao Zhai said sadly and angrily, "Obviously you have done a good job in saving someone, but how could you be beheaded in the end? Is there any justice in this world?!"

"You and I are so lucky that we can't afford such a heavy gift from heaven." After Feng Niang said, she looked at the person in front of her with tender eyes, "However, it is a blessing to be able to live and die with you. "

"How could this be, how could this be..." Xiao Zhai didn't seem to hear her words, he kept shaking his head and murmured in confusion.

Feng Niang's eyes turned cold, and a look of deep disappointment appeared on her face.

At this moment, the supervisor came to the execution ground accompanied by a group of people, and the guards shouted loudly: "The supervisor is here, ready to execute!"

Jinhua looked up at the sun hanging high above his head, looked at Gao Shiqian beside him and said, "It seems that this time we are really doomed."

Gao Shiqian smiled at her: "Remember what I just told you."

"Well," Jin Hua nodded fiercely, "If there is a chance to go back, I will definitely live a good life and be myself firmly."

The two looked at each other, and the executioner was already standing behind them, holding his execution knife high.

Jinhua felt the murderous aura behind him, and closed his eyes tightly in fright.After waiting for a while, the knife did not fall, but a man sobbing was heard beside him.She opened her eyes again and saw that it was Xiao Zhai.I saw him curled up there, trembling and crying.

I really didn't expect that a majestic man would be so timid, and he could not compare to a weak woman like her.Jinhua rolled his eyes hard in his heart, but felt that his fear had eased a little.Looking up at Fengniang, she turned her face away, as if she didn't want to see Xiao Zhai's embarrassment.That's right, Jinhua slandered in her heart. In order to protect the love between her and him, Fengniang would rather resist the order and give up her life. Who knew that the man she entrusted with all her heart turned out to be a ghost who was afraid of death. disappointing!In comparison, Gao Shiqian is still a real man.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a voice next to him say: "A man, you are crying, what do you look like!" Looking up, it turned out that it was the executioner behind Xiao Zhai, who walked in front of him at some point, with a look of contempt on his face. look at him.

Xiao Zhai was still sobbing, but the executioner suddenly yelled: "Raise your head!" Seeing that he dared not raise his head, he squatted down, clamped his chin with one hand to make him raise his head, and swung the extremely sharp execution knife with the other. , Said: "Boy, are you afraid of death?"

"Afraid..." Xiao Zhai squeezed out a word from his throat.

"I have killed quite a few people in my life. There are high-ranking officials and nobles, as well as ordinary people. It doesn't matter who you are, as long as you come to this execution ground, you can look like shit. I've seen you like this a lot. It's not unusual." He said and pointed to Feng Niang next to him, "However, this woman is very unusual. It is really rare that she can be so calm under the butcher's knife... Is she your good friend?"

Xiao Zhai nodded, with a look of shame on his face.

"I heard that she doesn't even want to be a concubine in the palace, just to marry you, boy, you are really blessed!" the executioner taunted.

"I..." Xiao Zhai looked at Feng Niang who was kneeling beside her, and she turned her face away fiercely.

"However, I'm really sorry for this girl, why did I fall in love with such a wimp like you!"

"Who do you call a wimp?" Hearing what he said, Xiao Zhai suddenly felt angry, stopped trembling, and looked up at the executioner.

"I said you, you can't even protect your own woman, you are still trembling and crying, you really don't look like a man!" The executioner spat on the ground.

"I, I can't protect her. No one can disobey the emperor's will!" Xiao Zhai blushed.

The executioner nodded, leaned close to him and said, "If I tell you now, the Holy Majesty still has a secret decree that one of you can live, and either you die and let her go home, or she dies and you go back and continue planting you." How about it, do you choose to let her die, or do you replace her?"

As soon as his words came out, not only Xiao Zhai, Feng Niang, the people on the execution ground, but also the people watching in the audience were all startled, and all looked at Xiao Zhai in unison.

"You, are you serious?" Xiao Zhai stared at the executioner.

"Really," the executioner nodded resolutely. "That's what the execution official told me. Otherwise, what would I have been talking nonsense to you for so long? Do you think life and death are child's play?"

Xiao Zhai turned to look at Feng Niang, and saw that she turned her face away again, not looking at him.

The executioner wiped the butcher knife in his hand, and said impatiently: "If you want to die or live, tell me, this decree will be withdrawn after noon, and you two will have to die by then!"

After he finished speaking, there was a dead silence.Xiao Zhai lowered his head and bit his lips. After a while, Feng Niang beside him suddenly said quietly: "Don't embarrass him, this matter started because of me, and it should end with me. Kill me and let him go back." let's go home."

"Feng Niang!" Xiao Zhai looked at her, tears streaming from his eyes.

"Both of my parents died, and I'm already an orphan. Life and death don't matter. You still have your parents to take care of. After you go back, honor them for me, so I can rest assured..."

"No! I'm a man, how can I let you die for me, so that I have no face to live in this world!" Xiao Zhai said to her, looked at the executioner, and said courageously, "Come on, give it to me!" Have a good time, and after 20 years, he will be a hero again!" He lowered his head after speaking, waiting for the executioner to raise the knife.

The sundial next to the execution ground pointed to the end of noon, and the executioner stood up: "My boy, you look like a man!" He came behind Xiao Zhai and raised his execution knife high.
