Fresh clothes and horses

The sky was gloomy and cloudy.

Zhuge Xi never thought that one day he would be taken to the execution ground.

Of course, among the hundreds of people outside the Meridian Gate, none of them thought that Zhuge's family would be over so quickly.

Zhuge Hongyi didn't look at Zhuge Dan any more, and knelt down expressionlessly.

Zhuge Xi stared at Zhuge Hongyi closely, he didn't believe that the old man was willing to be tortured like this.

However, he quickly averted his gaze.

"Zhuge's criminal woman refused to be arrested, and ordered to behead her." Jin Yiwei's deputy commander, Ning Ming, reported to the emperor.

"Zhuge Dan resisted arrest and was killed on the spot. His head is here."

Zhuge Xi watched helplessly as his mother's head was placed beside him like this.

From the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, it will take two days no matter how fast...

Pushing back is exactly the day when Gu Yan came back with the secret letter to him.

And how could it be such a coincidence that Zhuge Dan hid in Baifang Tower as he expected, but only surrendered two days later?

Zhuge Xi broke out in a cold sweat.

Could it be that Gu Yan peeked and leaked the contents of the letter?

The emperor now knew that Lei Zeding would only be on Zhuge Dan's body, and it was easy to catch him. He thought that there was no threat from now on, so he no longer placed him under house arrest for interrogation, but sent someone to arrest his mother immediately, in time for the execution day.

Do not……

It started to rain, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears on his face.

"Father! Do you really want to send more than a hundred members of Zhuge's family to die like this?" Zhuge Xi choked up and said, "Old fox, if you don't play tricks, we will die."

"Is it you who are reluctant to die, or am I reluctant to die?" Zhuge Hongyi laughed softly.

Zhuge Xi raised his head, and he could see Gu Yan standing on the edge of the execution ground at a glance.

"Maybe the child doesn't want to die for nothing."

"But what if I say I want to?"

Zhuge Xi silently withdrew his gaze, and said indifferently, "There is no conflict between life and death."

"The guilty minister has something to say!" Zhuge Xi suddenly shouted.

The emperor subconsciously touched the bird-shaped jade pendant pinned to his side. It was so small that it seemed that he could easily lose it if he was not careful, just like his easy-to-get victory.

The emperor sneered, "What kind of trouble does he want to stir up?"

"The real jade pendant is not on Zhuge Dan's body!"

Surprised all four.

The emperor stepped forward and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhuge Xi put all his eggs in one basket, with no idea in his heart, but his face was calm: "Long Live Lord, why don't you ask Marquis Ding?"

Zhuge Hongyi on the side laughed softly when he heard the words.

"That's right, Your Majesty, Lei Ze is really here with the guilty minister."

"But you've lost the chance to get it."

he said vaguely.

After finishing speaking, Zhuge Hongyi spit out something from his mouth, threw it to the ground with his mouth, and it cracked.
