In the military camp in the early morning, there was the sound of soldiers practicing in unison.

Bai Zhi huddled in the tent and waited anxiously all night for Zhuo Xiao to return.

His whole body was cold and covered with dew, and his eyes were red as if he had cried.

Bai Zhi immediately stepped forward and said, "I'm so anxious, what do you think? How can I save your father?"

Zhuo Xiao raised his eyes, his eyes filled with dead silence.

The overwhelming feeling of despair left Bai Zhi speechless.

Zhuo Xiao spoke slowly, "I am incompetent and can't save daddy."

Bai Zhiran was surprised, "This... let's think of a way..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Zhao opened the curtain and walked in. He raised his voice and said, "How about it, Hua Xuan, have you thought about it?"

Bai Zhi quickly stepped back pretending to be respectful, lowering her head.

Zhuo Xiao didn't look back at Wei Zhao. From Bai Zhi's point of view, he was trying his best to hold back something, and the muscles on his face kept trembling.

After a long time, he finally said, "Uncle, Xiao can't do it!"

Wei Zhao was obviously impatient, "You kid, you've been timid since you were a child and don't dare to do anything! It's really useless! If the knife rises and falls, you can clear the suspicion, so what are you afraid of?!"

"Then uncle, why don't you do it yourself!" Zhuo Xiao suddenly shouted and roared at Wei Zhao.

Wei Zhao was stunned, Zhuo Xiao had always been submissive, how could he dare to yell at him like this! Anger rose in his heart, "Zhuo Xiao! What kind of attitude do you have? Now I suspect that you are colluding with Zhuo Yunye!"

"Collusion?! What on earth did my father commit that warrants death?! After all, you are the traitors!!" Zhuo Xiao roared hysterically.

Bai Zhi was shocked when she heard this, and suddenly recalled in her mind that when Zhuo Yunye was in Fengyue Sect, she and Zhuo Yunye were talking about his son.

Zhuo Yunye said that his son was pure and true, kind and filial, and a child with a simple mind.

If you were born into an ordinary family, you could live a good life through hard work. Unfortunately, if you were born into the Zhuo family, you would inevitably be hijacked by others.

He always follows his heart when dealing with things, never considering the consequences, and does not understand the stakes and the twists and turns of the calculations.

Zhuo Yunye hopes that he can meet good people and live a safe and smooth life for the rest of his life.

But what Zhuo Xiao said just now exposed the Zhuo family's wolf ambitions clearly. In this way, how could Wei Zhao tolerate him, let alone save people!

Sure enough, Wei Zhao's face changed drastically after hearing what he said. The ferocity in his eyes suddenly appeared, and his back molars rattled, "Zhuo Xiao, Zhuo Yunye abandoned his wife and son, don't forget, you Whose family did you grow up on? Who has protected you two for so many years?"

Wei Zhao's tone was sinister, and he raised his hand to straighten his wrist guard, which made him feel cold for no reason.

Zhuo Xiao still wanted to refute, but Bai Zhi felt that something bad would happen if things continued like this.

So Bai Zhi took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground pitifully, "General, please be happy and angry! Master, this is just human nature. How can we not repay the kindness of our parents in bringing up children? Master has a pure heart, but he just can't bear to kill his father with his own hands. In a moment of impatience, I spoke rudely and angered the general! The general is also a man with children. What a rebellious thing it would be for a child to do something like this! Please calm down, general!"

Bai Zhi persuaded her sincerely, but Wei Zhao only thought that Bai Zhi wanted to escape the fate of being sent to a prostitute camp, so he fawned over everyone he saw, without too much suspicion.

Wei Zhao looked at his nephew displeased and snorted heavily, "Zhuo Xiao, let me ask you again, do you want to take action? If you don't take action, uncle, I will have no choice but to hand you over to the Queen Mother, and you and your mother will also Don’t blame me!”

Zhuo Xiao's chest rose and fell. He glanced at Bai Zhi and suppressed his anger. He slowly leaned down, kowtowed three times, and gritted his teeth and said, "Zhuo Yunye is unjust, but a son cannot be unfilial. Then please ask General Wei to hand me over to the Queen Mother! But General Xiao please allow Xiao to collect the body as his father..."

Zhuo Xiao choked up.

Bai Zhi's heart ached. Previously at the Fengyue Sect General Forum, they had discussed their past. No matter where they went, if they were caught by the Zhuo Party, the fourteen of them would have no choice but to die.

But they still run with hope and will not give up until the last moment.

The teacher said that he could enjoy every step without knowing the end point.

Because he feels that every step can lead to a new world.

But Bai Zhi didn't expect that their end would come so quickly.

Wei Zhao was so angry that he shook off his sleeves and left. Only Bai Zhi and Zhuo Xiao were left in the tent, kneeling on the spot.

Heavy breathing overlapped in the tent, and the two of them knelt feebly.

"If possible, I still hope that I am a smart son." Zhuo Xiao's tears suddenly fell on the ground in big drops, on the back of his hands.

"I...I have read a lot of books, but I still don't understand their conspiracy. I wrote a lot of letters when I was a child, and I wanted to ask my father for the explanation, but there was no reply...I..."

"I blame my father for being ruthless...I hate him...I hate him so much...but I only found out last year...that they intercepted my letters..."

"If I were smarter... I wouldn't have hated him for so many years..."

Zhuo Xiao burst into tears.

Bai Zhi patted Zhuo Xiao's back gently, "It's not too late to start reconciling with your father now..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuo Xiao was stunned, and then he ran out of the tent, and Bai Zhi also ran out.

The execution ground was filled with soldiers, and Wei Zhao sat aside, closing his eyes and concentrating.

Zhuo Xiao stood outside the military formation holding a pot of camellias he had grown.

Bai Zhi started to feel some pain in her abdomen, but this was just a sign of the onset of poison, far from the peak. She reluctantly followed.

Looking at the fourteen people from a distance, they were tied neatly in the center of the execution ground.

The humid air, mixed with dust, is sticky and suffocating.

Suddenly the sound of singing came——

"Hey, the deer roars, eating the apples of the wild. I have a guest, playing the harp and sheng..."

Bai Zhi pinched her abdomen and looked up.

It is Zhuo Yunye who is singing.

Then Hu Geng's voice rang out, and gradually everyone started singing along.

"Hey, the deer roars, eating the wormwood in the wild. I have a guest, Deyin Kong Zhao..."

The voice is not loud, but it is not weak. The child's voice is still changing, which adds a bit of vitality to the singing.

It doesn't sound like a lament, but rather like drinking and having fun.

"The harp, harp, harp, and harp are harmonious and exquisite. I have wine to drink with the heart of a distinguished guest..."

After singing this sentence, Zhuo Yunye raised his head.

Zhuo Xiao saw Zhuo Yunye raise his head and hold up the camellia in his hand.

When Zhuo Yunye saw the camellia, his breath froze for a moment, and tears instantly burst out of his eyes.

The bright red camellias are tightly clustered in small flower pots, blooming openly and wantonly.

Every flower is a carefully cared for treasure, and its beauty is breathtaking.

He murmured, "Xiao'er...my son..."

Wei Zhao raised his hand and waved it down, "Execution!"

When Wei Zhao's voice came, Bai Zhi didn't know whether it was due to poison or heartache.

The knife rises and the knife falls.

Fourteen heads fell neatly to the ground, and blood splashed into the air, as if the sky was dyed red.

Bai Zhi seemed to have lost control of her body. She forgot how to breathe, and staggered forward two steps.

Zhuo Xiao in front of him, his whole body was trembling, he said: "Dad, has he seen it?"

"I saw it..." Bai Zhi tried her best to steady her mind, but after finishing her words, she fell to her knees in pain.

Zhuo Xiao sniffed, put down the bright red camellia in his hand, picked up the white peony on his back, and quickly left the noisy execution ground.

He kept saying something, and Bai Zhi listened for a long time before she heard it clearly.

He said: "Dad, I forgive you."

"Can you also forgive Xiao'er?"
