Binh Duong Order

The prison in Dali Temple was terribly cold. When it snowed outside, a layer of icicles formed on the walls inside. The cold mixed with moisture was inhaled into the lungs, causing chest pains from the cold. The cell where Shen Shuxing was held was used It is even colder if it is wrapped in iron sheets, leaving only a window at the top that is less than two punches for ventilation, and the cold wind blows some snowflakes in from time to time.

Shen Shuxing's hands, feet and neck were chained by iron chains, his hair was a little messy, and he was sitting on a pile of hay. Even though he was imprisoned, he still had his own aura. If he ignored the chains on his body, he really didn't look like a prisoner.

The handyman who came to collect the bowls and chopsticks looked at the clean porridge and pickles, and didn't dare to say anything. He took them and walked outside, bumping into a guard, who took a look at the food box in his hand. With the bowls and chopsticks in the hands of the handyman, he muttered to himself, "Every meal is so clean."

The handyman didn't answer, and continued to walk forward with his head down, pretending that he didn't see the man behind the guard who was wrapped in a cloak and wearing a black hat. The long black gauze on the hat covered his beard and tail inside , I can’t see anything, working in this place, I just can’t have the slightest curiosity, it’s better to learn how to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so the handyman only thinks that he is blind, and walks away quickly with his head down and his things lifted.

The guard led the people behind him to a cell, opened the door and said, "It's only half an hour. When the time is up, I will knock on the door. Then you come out obediently. If there is something wrong, I will give you a signal, and you just say hello." Just come to collect the bowls and chopsticks." After speaking, the guard handed over the food box in his hand, the man took the food box, the guard opened the iron gate, the man said thank you and walked in.

Shen Shuxing raised his head when he heard the movement, saw the true face of Lushan Mountain under the bamboo hat, and smiled: "I won, so you come to see me making jokes?" You're welcome.

Yuan Man threw the bamboo hat in his hand, looked at Shen Shuxing and asked, "What kind of person am I?"

"No." Shen Shuxing replied, "But he is good at mixing things up."

"Think you're praising me."

"Just to praise you."

Shen Shuxing smiled on the surface, not as if he was praising, but as if he was swearing. Yuan Man sat down casually cross-legged, as if he was not in a prison cell, and seemed to be wandering in the mountains and forests: "When are you leaving?"

"Hurry up." Shen Shuxing turned his head to look at the snow falling in from the window: "It's the Chinese New Year, I guess it will only be two days, such a big crime, I don't know if the emperor will miss some old love , let me die easily."

"The best thing is poisoned wine, followed by beheading for public display, and the worst thing is to be Ling Chi, and quartering the body by five horses is not enough." Then it seems that the emperor is nostalgic and unrighteous.

"It's pretty much what I thought."

"Which one do you want?"

"Let's show the public by beheading. The poisoned wine is too mild, and the delay is too long. It's not enjoyable enough to watch. It's better to show the public by beheading. The head is in a different place. Looking at the blood, it's the most relieved. Killing a hundred can also give the people an explanation. Nothing is better than this." it's over,"

"As I thought."

The two sentences the two of them said didn't sound like they were talking about life and death matters, they were just talking about everyday things, like asking each other what to eat at home tonight.

Shen Shuxing glanced at the lunch box at Yuan Man's feet: "Bring me the meal with a severed head?"

Yuan Man took the food box and opened it, and held it up to Shen Shuxing to see. There were only a few unwashed bowls. Shen Shuxing laughed, and the iron chains on his body rattled: "I'm really digging. I can't even part with a pot of wine."

Yuan Man put away the food box: "There are so many people staring at you, how dare I give you food? I finally got out, there is no need to get in for you."

The dismissal of the Governor of Yuying Division is a major event. Shen Shuxing has listened to the jailer talking about it countless times in this prison: "If you really want to drag you into the water, what else do you need?"

"Oh—" Shen Shuxing sighed thoughtfully: "You're still smart. I thought why you got involved in the drudgery of finding the princess. Regardless of success or failure, it's not good. His Majesty will pinch him in the wrong place."

"Later, I realized that you just want to send out your mistakes. It's not big or small. It seems that half your life was spent, but it can protect you from getting out of your body. You can see far enough."

Yuan Man did not deny it.

Shen Shuxing laughed, laughing at himself for making a bad move, but now he thought of this, after laughing, he stared at Yuan Man and said: "I always think, you are a woman, why don't you find a good husband, husband and child, Gentle and happy, why bother to jump headlong into this group of men and compete with us? Fighting for life and death?"

Regarding this question, Yuan Man really turned his head and thought about it seriously. After thinking clearly, he replied: "Perhaps——I should thank the ghost building, thank it for teaching me to kill people, but not for teaching me to marry. Earn your own life, don't put life and death on others, this is the first thing I learned in the ghost building, I will let you down, I don't know how to be a husband and a child, I am a good hand at killing and setting fire."

Shen Shuxing looked at her. Indeed, although the ghost building is extremely evil, it has also made her a success. Only such an unimaginable place can raise such an unimaginable woman.

"It's true, it's just that you managed to get away with it." Shen Shuxing didn't bother with her anymore, and said jokingly: "From the moment you step here, I can think of thousands of ways to kill you, don't you It's time to come here." Shen Shuxing really didn't understand, why did she take the risk to come this time, just to see her miserable end?How can it be?If she was such a person, she would have been defeated by him long ago. It is the honor and disgrace that make her invincible.

"I can't help it." Yuan Man shrugged: "Your student asked me to give you a sentence about being entrusted by others, and about being loyal to others, he said."

"Cultivate one's morality, regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. The teacher's teachings are remembered by the students."

After Yuan Man's words came out, the girl in front of Shen Shuxing's eyes fell in love with the boy he had raised since he was a child. Shen Shuxing was stunned for a moment, with some disbelief in his eyes, but it was more clear after thinking clearly, how could he I didn't expect that Yuan Man came here for this.

Shen Shuxing straightened his body slightly, and asked her: "Do you know what you are doing?" Now that the situation in the court is changing, and the situation is unpredictable, she is coming to see him now, and someone who cares will add fuel and jealousy, and I don't know what it will be like. , She actually came to see him just for this?She is really crazy.

Yuan Man did not answer his question, but asked back: "Don't you want to hear it?"

Think, why not?Shen Shuxing leaned back slightly, without the upright demeanor just now, his shoulders hunched. Although Shen Shuxing pleaded guilty this time with the belief that he would die, he also wanted to hear what others thought of him Yes, those who don't know him are fine, but what about his students?What about the students he tried to bring up?What kind of person would his students think his teacher was?Will they keep their teachings in mind?Or, throw it away like a shoe?

This is also Shen Shuxing's last wish before his death, and the words brought by Yuan Man just fulfilled his wish, well, he will die without regrets, even if he can teach one, it will be enough, enough up!

When the words came, Yuan Man didn't have to stay to watch Shen Shuxing's excited and gratified emotions. He got up and took the bamboo hat. Seeing that she wanted to leave, Shen Shuxing quickly stopped her: "Wait." His tone was still puzzled: "Why are you Want to help Xiu Jin speak?"

Yuan Man patted the grass clippings on the bamboo hat, looked at Shen Shuxing and said, "Because I promised him."

"Promised him?" Is it that simple?Shen Shuxing looked up at his enemy for half of his life, and really couldn't believe that all his life in the palace and schemes, just because of a single promise, put him in danger?No matter how Shen Shuxing thought about it, he felt it was absurd.

Yuan Man turned sideways and put the bamboo hat on her head, a little helpless, she understood Shen Shuxing's surprise: "I never promise easily, but if I promise, I will do what I say." Yuan Man turned his head and looked into Shen Shuxing's eyes: " It's like everyone in the world knows your son is dead." The corner of the mouth curled up: "Isn't it?"

Yuan Man's words were like a bronze bell being bumped into Shen Shuxing's ear, half of his body was numb from the shock, Shen Shuxing stood up abruptly, the chains on his body rattled and rattled, Shen Shuxing's eyes were filled with fear, Looking at Yuan Man hesitantly.

That's right, Shen Shuxing remembered that when the old monk brought Ma'er to him, although he didn't recognize Ma'er, the emperor discovered Ma'er's existence, and it was too late for Shen Shuxing to notice, but at that time The emperor guarded him strictly, and he couldn't do anything at all. There were only two choices he faced face-to-face, and there was always one thing to hold in the hands of the emperor, or let himself not have this weakness.

But people are so strange, even though Shen Shuxing abandoned his own son first, he didn't want his son to die, nor did he want to be restrained in doing things in the future because of his son, but at that time the emperor's people guarded him strictly. No chance to start.

Just when Shen Shuxing was in a hurry, Yuan Man appeared. Yuan Man said that she could help Shen Shuxing keep his son, but Shen Shuxing wanted to help her speak to the emperor and set up the Royal Film Division. He agreed, and then Yao'er died in the mudslide without any flaws. Yu Yingsi also built up with Shen Shuxing's help, until he was able to fight against him.

This happened like this, how long has it been?

It had been so long that when he and Yuan Man had the worst, most ugly and most tense fight, Yuan Man never mentioned a single thing, let alone used it as a threat.

long to -

It was because of Yuan Man's silence that Shen Shuxing almost forgot that Yuan Man knew that his son was still alive.

"Why?" If Yuan Man had started with his own son, there was no need for him to be so devious, and in the end even himself was involved.

Yuan Man put on the bamboo hat and said: "What about you? Why did you plead guilty?" Yuan Man didn't look at Shen Shuxing, and put down the gauze from the bamboo hat on his own. It’s a good thing to survive, and it’s a good thing, and it should be carried forward.”

Yuan Man picked up the food box on the ground and turned around. Through a layer of black gauze, Shen Shuxing couldn't see Yuan Man's expression, but he could feel that Yuan Man was looking at him: "Shen Shuxing, you have you I have my original intentions.”

In the iron prison, Yuan Man's figure was huddled in the black veil, standing quietly in front of Shen Shuxing, neither humble nor overbearing, with a clear conscience, the sky light came from the small window on the other side, and the warm light in winter came through Dust, like smog, scattered on her face and shoulders impartially. Shen Shuxing stood at the other end, no light shone on him, only the snowflakes on his head fell on his hair, on his shoulders, just touched When it arrived, it melted without leaving any traces. Suddenly, Shen Shuxing saw something similar to himself but different from his old enemy.

Until today, Shen Shuxing realized that he underestimated this opponent. At this moment, he clearly understood that she had always known what he wanted, and had never been confused. Unlike himself, she almost got lost. I look down on some of her practices, is it enough for me to be upright?

It is he who is biased and blinded by a leaf.

Who doesn't have the strength of character?

Looking at it now, it seems that I am dirty and stingy.

After Yuan Man finished speaking, she turned her head and knocked on the iron door. She heard Shen Shuxing laughing behind her, a little self-mockery and a little indifferent. She heard Shen Shuxing say: "Yi Jia, I lost." The iron door opened, Yuan Man stepped out, Shen Shuxing sighed, and his tone was full of admiration: "You are indeed better than me."

The iron door closed slowly, and Shen Shuxing saw Yuan Man wave his hand casually, and strode out without looking back: "I know."

With a sound of "bang--", the iron door closed in front of Shen Shuxing's eyes, and then there was a sound of locking it. With a smile on his face, Shen Shuxing sat back on the hay, straightened his hair, and straightened his clothes , sat more uprightly than before, and his posture was more calm.

Without regrets, how can we not die generously?

Covered in black gauze, Yuan Man followed the guard and walked out the door. When he passed a fork, he heard a noise coming from inside. He didn't pay much attention to it. In front of the three cells, a government servant was holding a scabbard in his hand, trying to stab the restless head in: "What are you doing? Be honest! Don't move!"

Mu Fanchen, who was imprisoned in the prison and restless, asked with a playful smile: "Brother! Brother Yamen! Let me ask, who is that? Do you know him? Why are you in our prison?" Fortunately, Mu Fanchen's It's just an ordinary prison cell, so Mu Fanchen saw the black figure. Mu Fanchen stretched his head and tried his best to see the black figure clearly, but then he was slapped back randomly by the yamen guards, so he had to stretch his fingers Looking at Yuan Man's back, he asked such a sentence.

The yamen servant turned his head when he heard the words, and happened to see Yuan Man walking by, the black figure disappeared in front of his eyes, frowning, who the hell could tell what the hell it was?He could only turn his head and say fiercely to Mu Fanchen: "What does that person have to do with you? Get out! Don't make trouble!"

He couldn't get an answer, so Mu Fanchen had no choice but to look over there. He had already gone far away, so he could only go back to the cell dejectedly. ?”

Mu Fanchen sat cross-legged on the ground, thinking in his mind when the results would come out from Dali Temple. He had been locked up here for a long time. Generally, male prisoners and female prisoners are separated, so he doesn't know about Luo Xiaoxiao's side now. What kind of situation is it? She came in to help herself. If something happened to her, she would be blamed for death.

"Master Sun, you are here." Dali Temple Secretary Sun Wang.

Mu Fanchen looked up and saw a young man in official uniform standing outside the prison cell, he politely said to the yamen servant: "Master Chen asked me to ask questions, please help me, brother yamen servant."

The yamen servant hurriedly took the key, opened the cell door, and welcomed Sun Wang in. After Sun Wang entered, he smiled and said to the yamen servant: "Brother Yamen servant, I don't want others to hear what I want to ask. I wonder if you can—" Sun Wang His expression said it all.

"Okay, okay." The yamen servant said, and then he went out consciously and locked the door: "I understand." This is not the first time, the yamen servant understands, besides, if you know some things yourself, maybe you are not far from death .As he spoke, he consciously stepped back and left the place to them.

Seeing that the yamen servants had retreated, Sun Wang laid out the pens and papers he had brought along with a natural expression, and said in a low voice, "Little General, there will be results at Dali Temple tomorrow."
