Xia Zhaoyi brought out a long bench and sat down leisurely. She raised her slender right leg and swayed slowly beside her left calf. Her clear and clean eyes looked up and down at Lu Mingfeng, and the smile in her eyes grew stronger.
After a while, she smiled and said: "The Commander-in-Chief of the Continent is in an important position. He has been in the wind and waves all year round. He has been involved in countless assassinations and has experienced hundreds of battles. I think the Commander-in-Chief of the Continent has long been
You regard death as home and are not afraid of injury or death, right?"
The rain outside the window and the silence inside the prison made her voice very ethereal, as clear and crisp as the voice of an oriole in a mountain stream.
Lu Mingfeng didn't blink, his eyes were still cold and disgusted.
The girl's smile deepened: "Unfortunately, in this world, even death is different. When you are the commander of the continent, your death is an honor. The emperor will let everyone mourn for you and wear mourning for you. When you
When you were a land thief who committed many evil deeds, your death would be a celebration."
"What a pity," Xia Zhaoyi looked at him and said with a smile, "The loyal and responsible commander of the mainland was ruined in the end and had nothing."
Lu Mingfeng closed his eyes, because of the difficult position of being bound by iron chains, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Xia Zhaoyi's voice suddenly became colder, and he said slowly: "Look, you are so poor, and you haven't even been tortured at all. And among the thousands of people who died in your hands, none of them were struggling and suffering.
Dying."
Suddenly a strong wind blew outside, hitting the wooden window sash and making a buzzing sound.
Xia Zhaoyi continued: "You are not afraid of notoriety, as long as you are famous. People like you like nothing more than to control other people's lives and deaths and play with other people's pain."
"The fear you feel now is the happiest moment in your heart when you stepped on someone else."
"The more the person you step on begs for mercy and becomes more scared, the happier and more relaxed you will be."
"But I never thought that one day it would be your turn."
"It's so pitiful. The person who killed you was not your enemy, but the master you had been begging for all your life."
Lu Mingfeng suddenly opened his eyes and directed his hateful and disgusting gaze at the girl on the bench.
Xia Zhaoyi looked into his eyes and continued to speak slowly in a voice that made his scalp numb: "It's a pity that you have worked so hard all your life and it's all in vain."
"And you will die miserably. Li Ju hates you so much now, and you will never have a good life again."
"Just as you once made others' lives worse than death, Li Ju will now make your life worse than death."
"But in fact," Xia Zhaoyi suddenly smiled, sweet and charming, "You didn't do anything to regret him. I did all of this. This can be regarded as the most extraordinary injustice in the history."
This sentence finally drove Lu Mingfeng crazy.
The iron chain he was hanging on made a squealing sound, but no matter how hard he tried to break free, there was no way he could break the iron chain, let alone his current posture where it was difficult to even exert force.
Xia Zhaoyi got up from the bench, walked over slowly, and said with a smile: "You are angry, angry, but you can't do anything. You think you have a high position and power, but in fact you are nothing. What's even worse is that you are framed.
of."
"But don't worry," Xia Zhaoyi stopped, "I will avenge you. Your death is just the beginning. Soon, Li Zhi, who is also down and out and miserable, will come to accompany you."
"Uh huh!!" Lu Mingfeng tried his best to make a sound, but his mouth was blocked by a large ball of cloth. It was really hard for him.
Xia Zhaoyi's eyes turned cold and he said word by word: "Just like, I am avenging my Xia family, and I am avenging Mr. Zhu Xianzhu, the Young Master of Jingzhao Mansion. It was you who killed him with your own hands back then."
"I don't like torture, I don't like abuse and humiliation, but Lu Mingfeng, I like to see you being tortured, being cut into pieces with thousands of knives, being accused by thousands of people, and being reviled by the world."
"You," Xia Zhaoyi looked at him pitifully, "you are so miserable."
Lu Mingfeng struggled with all his strength, but couldn't.
Seeing the girl turn around and leave, returning the bench to its original place on the way, Lu Mingfeng was shaking all over and his eyes were red.
When the door of the cell was closed again, he let out a harsh and exhausted roar from deep in his throat. After struggling twice in vain, he raised his head and shed tears.
The rainstorm is rushing and the wind is howling.
Xia Zhaoyi left the Punishment Department, wearing the bamboo hat he brought from Jinxing Restaurant.
It was almost dawn, but she was still ill, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.
She lowered her head and walked step by step along the corridor in the secluded area towards Yugui Street.
As she walked, she seemed to feel something and raised her head.
In the dim skylight, a tall and thin man stood under the eaves in front, like a straight pine and bamboo tree.
He was holding an umbrella in one hand and a baggage in the other, looking at her silently.
Xia Zhaoyi frowned slightly, not expecting him to appear.
"Shen Lie." After getting closer, Xia Zhaoyi called out in a low voice.
"I learned that Li Ju had been here, so I guessed that you would come too, so I came here and waited." Shen Lie said.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at him deeply in the darkness, an indescribable emotion pouring hotly in her heart.
Shen Lie handed her the bundle in his hand: "Put it on."
The inside is a thin autumn awning, and the outside material is smooth and soft gold feather silk brocade, which makes it difficult for raindrops and raindrops to penetrate in a short period of time.
"Thank you very much," Xia Zhaoyi said after putting on her clothes, "You are thoughtful."
Shen Lie raised his hand and put it against her forehead, which was still hot.
Xia Zhaoyi's voice became softer: "You've been waiting for a long time."
"soon."
"Your fingers are cold."
Shen Lie’s umbrella tilted towards him: “Are you going back?”
"Yeah." Xia Zhaoyi responded, raising his hand to untie the bamboo hat.
Shen Lie stopped her: "Just wear it."
"It'll make your clothes wet."
"I'm fine."
Xia Zhaoyi pulled down his hand: "Listen to me."
She took off the bamboo hat, threw it out into the water, and then tied it around Shen Lie's left arm.
"I'll use it as a shield for you," Xia Zhaoyi looked up at him, "You must give me most of the umbrella. This bamboo hat will be used to protect you. It's better than nothing."
As he said that, Xia Zhaoyi came closer to him: "...Then, if we get closer, we can... get wet less."
It was raining heavily, and the air was full of moist earthy smell. It was impossible to smell the girl's scent, but Shen Lie felt that he was hallucinating.
He lowered his eyes quietly, silently looking into her eyes, which were as black as sharp and as clear as water. No matter what happened, she would always look at you candidly and sincerely.
After a while, Shen Lie said "hmm" very softly.
This place is not far from Yugui Street. Since there is a funeral all over the city, carriages are not allowed to disturb them in the middle of the night. I don't want to cause trouble to Dengqian Tea House and Jinxing Restaurant, so Shen Lie comes here alone with an umbrella.
It rained heavily and there were puddles from time to time, so they couldn't walk fast.
Xia Zhaoyi, who rarely wondered what others were doing, asked where Shen Lie had gone.
Shen Lie took out a small jade pendant and handed it over: "Take a look."
