Chapter 232: You are welcome, Qu Feng
Although it is said to be "hidden punishment", there are still few people who have read poetry and books who do not know this truth.
So when Xun Yu saw the food box, he knew what Cao Cao meant.
However, at the last moment, he did not open the food box in front of the man, but chose to save the man's life.
If that person had seen Xun Yu open the food box and heard what Xun Yu said, then his life would have been wiped out by Cao Cao.
However, after becoming kind-hearted, Xun Yu had to face reality.
Cao Cao has given him an ultimatum, Shouchun, which is when he dies and ushered in the second turning point in his life.
Although he said that Cao Cao could not decide whether he could be paid by the Han Dynasty, in fact, he could only accept this fact.
Cao Cao is now not only the spokesperson of the Han Dynasty, but also the manipulator of the Han Dynasty.
Now he has no other choice but to accept his fate.
But how should he accept this fate? A strong man cuts off his wrist, adds a sword to his body, and kills himself?
This was undoubtedly an "insult" to him, as if he had committed some huge crime and had to admit guilt and punish himself.
As the saying goes, even if a scholar-official dies, he should have a perfect body and a great righteousness.
Drawing a sword and killing oneself in a solitary room obviously violates these two most basic pursuits.
Of course Xun Yu couldn't choose this option.
Is it to poison the wine, drink it all in one gulp, and issue a final protest to Cao Cao?
Since ancient times, many people with lofty ideals have committed suicide in order to show their disobedience. Although such a choice has saved their bodies, they still have the courage to fight to the death.
But for Xun Yu, it is not so suitable.
After all, he was not one of those who was forced to take office, but a "confidant" who had been willing to serve Cao Cao for decades. If he died like this, no one in the world would understand his heart.
Some people may even think that he died of poisoning and it was just an accident.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head, and then looked out the door again.
I wonder if God sensed Xun Yu's doubts. A gust of cool wind blew up, slightly blowing up the lanterns in the corridor, and the thin ribbons hanging under the lanterns were blown high.
That thin belt happened to enter Xun Yu's eyes, and he suddenly found a way to end his life.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that Bai Ling granted death, and hanging himself often shocks countless people.
However, Xun Yu did not choose to end his life with a piece of white silk, but with a ribbon embroidered with the unique totem of the Han Dynasty.
That is the symbol of Hanchen and the glory of Hanchen.
He ended his life with a ribbon, as if to show his determination to die for the great man.
He believes that people in the future will understand his painstaking efforts, and people in the current generation will understand what kind of person he is.
Although the method has been chosen, he has not yet implemented it.
He is waiting for the light to reappear. Even if he dies, he must die in an honorable manner and must not die in the darkness of the night.
…
The next day, he got up early in the morning and ordered people to prepare hot water and court clothes.
He was wearing the official uniform of the Han Dynasty's Shangshu Ling, not the official uniform of the Prime Minister who had just been appointed by Cao Cao to join the army.
Bath in fragrant soup, burn incense and pray.
When he was about to leave, Xun Yu still held this "ceremony" "grandly".
When he came to this world, it was said that divine light appeared several times, which made people marvel.
Now that he is about to leave this world, he must be worthy of God's gift to him and must not go away dejectedly.
Of course, you can't be a starving ghost.
So, after he bathed and changed clothes, he had a good meal with a strong appetite.
Then, he dismissed everyone and came to the study alone.
This is a place that only belongs to him in Shouchun.
The strong and foot-long ribbon had already been hung on the beams by him. Now he was standing on a stool with a calm expression, carefully tying the knot of the ribbon.
His hands didn't even tremble at all, as if this was just a very normal thing.
Soon, he slowly connected his chin with the bottom end of the ribbon, then closed his eyes slightly and kicked the stool away from his feet.
In an instant, all the weight of his body was concentrated on his jaw, and his hands suddenly clenched.
He involuntarily wanted to reach out and grab the ribbon on his head, but his consciousness kept preventing his hands from moving.
The pain of suffocation slowly spread throughout his body. He had never thought that death would feel like this.
He suddenly felt a feeling of fear rising from the bottom of his heart, and he understood that it was a sign that the Yama Palace was opening to him.
His hands gradually lost strength, no longer tightly holding the clothes on his legs, and his consciousness began to gradually blur.
A place that seemed like heaven began to faintly wave to him.
He was about to run away, but found that he had lost consciousness and could not control his body.
He was close to death.
"Bang..."
Suddenly, the study door opened wide, and two people rushed in from the door.
"Quick! Save people!"
As a shout came out, a dagger flew out of the air, passed through the ribbon, and split the strong ribbon into two.
Xun Yu, who was hanging on the ribbon, also fell down very stiffly.
At the same time, a man had already ran over to catch Xun Yu and let him land safely.
"Zifeng, he still has energy, but his breath is very weak. I think there is hope for help!"
The person who caught Xun Yu was none other than Zhao Tong.
He discovered Xun Yu's abnormality early on. Cao Cao was obviously gone and there was no emperor here. Xun Yu suddenly dressed up in such a grand manner. Something must have happened.
But he didn't expect that Xun Yu would commit suicide. After he found out that Xun Yu had arrived in the study, he followed him.
It was at this time that he saw Xun Yu hanging on the ribbon through the small hole in the window.
Then they broke in.
In order to save people, Zhao Tong didn't care about any "etiquette" and just used his mouth to relieve Xun Yu's anger.
He was highly skilled in martial arts and had a long breath. After taking a deep breath, he crossed over to Xun Yu, and within two strokes, he opened up Xun Yu's somewhat blocked breath.
"Cough...cough..."
Xun Yu coughed violently a few times and then woke up.
"Xun Lingjun, you finally woke up..."
Looking at the familiar environment and the concerned Zhao Tong and Qu Feng, he suddenly froze!
"You...why are you here?"
He didn't wait for Zhao Tong and Qu Feng to answer, and said again: "Who asked you to meddle in other people's business and come to save me?"
"Um?"
Zhao Tong looked at Xun Yu with a puzzled face, really not understanding why he would say such a thing.
But Qu Feng suddenly said with a rude look: "Xun Yu! It's a waste that I admire you a little, I didn't expect you to be a coward and a coward! General Zhao, it doesn't matter if you don't save this kind of person, let's go!"
"this……"
