The country is not as pretty as the beauty

Chapter 50 Between Life and Death

The superintendent sat upright, with a barrier behind him, so the sun couldn't get out of it, but it was still hot, and his green shirt was drenched with sweat.

On her body, she couldn't tell the difference between sweat and tears, and her heart was ashamed.Even being scorched by the scorching sun, she wasn't afraid at all.It is clear that she is a princess admired by thousands of people in Nanzhao. She was born with a golden key in her mouth. In fact, she doesn't want these things at all. Since she was born, the position of crown prince has been set, and the marriage contract has also been set.

The boring rules, the inhuman rules, made her feel too uncomfortable, so she always did things that exceeded the rules.

She also thought that one day she would be in charge of Nanzhao on behalf of her father.She won't obey the marriage contract, she won't listen to the law of the king, everything, just do whatever you want.

"Girl, don't blame me after you die. I'm also a slave, and I can't help myself." The executioner beside him was sweating profusely, and the sharp knife in his hand was scorched hot by the scorching sun.

Although the sundial didn't seem to move, it did move, and the needle of the reflection turned to three, which just happened to coincide.

"It's [-]:[-] p.m., execution." The green wooden plaque that was thrown at will bounced back and forth several times on the stone slab until it finally landed silently. The sound was disgusting.

The executioner sighed, weakly picked up the wine jar, took a sip of the wine, and sprayed it on the hot knife.He took down the death penalty card behind Nan Xie, and when the knife was raised, the light reflected by the sun dazzled the people on the fast horse.

"May you be reborn into a good family in your next life."

The big knife swung up and down, all the officials on the stage closed their eyes, and the outcome was decided.

He is still far away, just arrived.But it was too late, because the knife was about to fall, and there was still a little distance away, so he was very anxious.

Fortunately, this is the captain's horse, and it has a bow and arrow right away.The arrow hit the string without any hesitation.Like a flying arrow, hitting the knife that was about to fall, the executioner was shocked by the impact and took two steps back, his hands were shaking non-stop, one can imagine the strength of this use.

He breathed a sigh of relief, finally heaved a sigh of relief, clamped the horse's belly, and rushed forward.

A robber?The prison officer's first thought was, "Who is so bold to sabotage the execution."

"What if it's me?" His sharp eyes looked down on everyone.

The supervising army and some prison guards were stunned, and they were very surprised. A person was killed halfway through the dust-settled matter?This person is not someone else, but today, the supreme ruler of the Celestial Empire, who came to save people under the scorching sun for the sake of the person he ordered to be killed?

Why is he, and why?

Unintentionally knowing the expressions of the crowd, he reined in the reins, and the horse walked to the center of the execution ground, in front of Nan Wan.

He glanced sideways, bowed down to the trembling executioner, and took off the black veil from Nan Wan's head.

A clear, drenched and familiar face appeared in front of Tian Wuhen.She breathed very weakly, and opened her eyes with difficulty to look at Tian Wuhen on the horse, condescending, wearing a Chinese dress with black dragons embroidered on it, so majestic, she was completely different from the dying person in the Nanzhao camp before. people.

She wondered, just wondered.With all my strength, I said a word, "You?" and fell down.

Tian Wuhen frowned the first time he saw her face, regretting endlessly.

Seeing her fall so weakly, he jumped off the horse worriedly, picked her up and carried her on the horse, and drove to his residence.

Only a few people who were at a loss were left on the execution ground, and they competed to watch, regardless of the hot weather.

"Call Zhang Wenzhong here quickly, hurry up!" He hugged this dispirited man, the man before the gate of hell, the dying man.

Putting Nanwan on his bed, looking at her covered in bruises, Tian Wuhen was full of self-blame, this person was kind to him and saved his life, but he almost lost his life.How could he not blame himself.

Why, why didn't I realize it was you?I should have found out where I was, and why I didn't pay attention when they reported it. I should have known that it should be you who sneaked into Jiazhou from the Nanzhao woman, why didn't I think of it.

"The emperor?" Zhang Wenzhong hurried over, thinking that something had happened to the emperor.But come here, the emperor is doing well.

"Quick, quickly treat her." He anxiously pointed to the weakly breathing woman on the bed.

Zhang Wenzhong was also surprised, where did another woman appear?

Tian Wuhen came out of the room, and Zhang Wenzhong rescued him inside.

Li Ji went up and asked what he shouldn't have asked. "Your Majesty, is she?"

"Princess of Nanzhao."

Li Ji asked, how did this young man recognize the princess of Nanzhao?And why are you so obsessed with her.Furthermore, why is this Nanzhao princess in Jiazhou?

"Princess Nanzhao, why are you here?"

"She said that she likes the prosperity of the Central Plains, the beautiful scenery, and Jiazhou, which is full of begonias, but I didn't expect her to come here." There was deep guilt in her words.

"The emperor and her?" Li Ji could see that the boy's anxiety was worried about her safety, and even blamed himself.

"Of course, why do you think I can escape from the tiger's mouth safely?"

Li Ji understood what

"Then she doesn't know the identity of the Holy Majesty, maybe she knew it just now."

He nodded, Li Ji suddenly felt relieved, and thought of a plan.

"So what if you know, so what if you don't know, she let me go after all." In fact, he didn't know what to do, and he hoped that Nan Wan didn't know his identity, because she knew her identity as a woman, so he wanted to hide another identity , however, backfired.

"I'm just asking, since the princess of Nanzhao is in our hands, we must win this match."

...

"How is she?"

Zhang Wenzhong stopped when he saw Tian Wuhen coming in.

"Going back to the emperor, after being tortured and tortured, coupled with the sun, without eating, it is already a miracle that she survived. Although she looks weak, she can fight."

This, Zhang Wenzhong doesn't need to say, he naturally doesn't know, this girl not only knows martial arts, but also has both civil and military skills.

"The minister prescribes a few medicines for recuperation. These few days need to be quiet and not disturbed, and the food can only be light."

"Use the best medicine, and order from the dining room."

Zhang Wenzhong was stunned, and looked up at the young man who was only focused on the woman on the couch.

Then nodded: "Wei."

Some people in the palace were worried about him, but he was worried about others.

It's just that Zhang Wenzhong didn't know where this woman came from, and why the emperor cared so much.

The woman was still in a coma and never woke up.He turned and left, furious.

"Come here, tell me about the two magistrates in Jiazhou prefecture and county, as well as the school lieutenant of the government office."

After a while, several officials ran and fell into the hall. This is the Jiazhou Palace. Because no one has lived there for many years, he moved his residence here.

"Emperor... Your Majesty..." The woman was openly stopped by the emperor, and the news spread throughout Jiazhou, Zhang Shou would not be unaware.As early as when the emperor rushed out, he thought of today.

"You bastard, the injuries on her body are what you want to add?" He opened his eyes angrily, as if he was going to eat people.

"I don't know that the emperor knows her. It's not like the Central Plains people thought she was a spy from Nanzhao, so...then... tortured her, and then...she said she was the princess of Nanzhao. How could I believe her? Why did the princess go to the enemy country when the war started, and she was afraid of deceiving the king, so she didn't report it to the emperor..."

"No report? You tell me that a spy has come for such an important matter?"

"Chen, I thought the emperor would pay attention to it and came to interrogate him personally, so...but the order I received was to behead...so I can't resist the order, the emperor forgives the crime."

After asking for a long time, Tian Wuhen couldn't hold back her face. In the final analysis, it was her own fault. The officials acted according to the order without knowing it. She didn't care about it. She just said it casually.

Tian Wuhen was stunned for a moment, it was not easy to step down, after all, he was the one who was at fault, so he was furious.

"Bastards, you people who are full of selfish pockets, you just want to make up a weak woman who only cares about her own career, and try to make me appreciate you like this?"

"Your Majesty..." After being told what was in their hearts, several officials were also terrified, and cold sweat broke out on their heads.

"Soldiers are coming to the city, but they only think about how to get promoted and get rich. If Jiazhou falls, you will be the first to run away, right? As the parents and officials of Jiazhou, you don't do things for the people, bend the law for personal gain, take bribes, do you think I can't see it?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me, the ministers are just confused for a while."

"Forgive? If I forgive you, how can you be worthy of the people of Jiazhou and the world of Dasu." This is Tian Wuhen's negligence, of course she would not say that herself, and she used a more familiar word from the past - turn disaster .

These people have hurt countless people and harmed countless people. He can't tolerate any filth or sand in his eyes.

He waved his hand without saying a word, but the trusted soldier understood and took the trembling three people down.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is merciful, you can't just blame us for a woman from an enemy country." Zhang Shou was crying, and today he actually died on a woman's body?

"Your Majesty, think twice, if you kill a courtier for the sake of an enemy princess, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers." Li Ji came over to stop him.

"Mao Gong knows, I didn't kill those three people because of her."

"I naturally understand why the emperor is, but people in the world don't think so."

He thought deeply, clenched his fists, closed his eyes and sighed.

"Capital crimes are inevitable, and living crimes are inevitable."

The lives of those three people were saved, but only for a while.

Today's actions spread throughout Jiazhou, and even spread to the court hall of the Eastern Capital.

Bang Dang, the teacup in her hand dropped, and she had only been comfortable for a few days, and she was about to feel uneasy again.

Sometimes the road you walk is not terrible, and you can go on even if it is difficult.What is terrible is the intervention of a third party.
