From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 997 The Death of Cheng Sichu
After calculating the time, it's time to come and save her, Cheng Sichu thought up a plan to delay and said to Mei Xin: "You let me...let me down, and ask the doctor to stop the bleeding."

Mei Xin didn't have time and was afraid that she would play tricks, so she just gave Xiaodouzi a look and she pulled Cheng Sichu over the mouth of the well, and lit up a lantern to show her on purpose, only to see water snakes scurrying inside: "The wells in Daying, Gyeonggi are different from those in other places. The deep well is different, it’s a kind of punishment, there are not only snakes but also many rats in it, they have been starved for several days, the one I like the most is a girl with delicate skin and tender flesh like you, now I throw you down, no need After pulling it up in half an hour, there are only bones left."

It's not a joke, and it's not to scare her, but someone in Jingji Wei has been punished like this. A strong man with a height of eight feet is put down, and there is only a skeleton left after pulling it up for an hour.

She is relatively thinner and smaller, and it takes about half an hour, and the mice inside are also very powerful, and she is not afraid of snakes after being together for a long time.

Looking at the snakes in the well, Cheng Sichu was about to die of fright, she was terrified, and she was terrified at just one glance. She was afraid of snakes all her life, and she would have nightmares whenever she saw Mei Xin. The person holding the rope slowly let her go, and she let her down. She yelled in horror: "Stop, stop, stop, I said, I will say now, my father and king did not come, did not enter the capital."

Mei Xin didn't believe it, and was very dissatisfied with her answer, so she didn't let Xiaodouzi stop at all, and let him continue to loosen the rope and let him down.

Death row inmates know that death is not scary, it is scary before death, just like now, if she is thrown down with a plop, she will not be so scared, but watching her falling down like this is the scariest .

Seeing her two legs falling into the well, Cheng Sichu couldn't take it anymore, cried and struggled and said, "In North Street, they are all hiding in North Street, stop quickly, pull me up quickly, pull me up quickly."

She broke down with the whining sound of tears streaming down her cheeks, and she was crying in a mess.

Seeing that she finally broke down, Mei Xin waved her hand and motioned for Xiaodouzi to pull her up and said, "It would be good if I said no earlier, so as not to suffer such a crime. North Street is a civilian area. I have ordered people to search the whole city before. Any suspicious people found, where are they hiding on North Street?"

Just as she was speaking, the sound of an arrow suddenly rushed into Mei Xin's ears, her face changed drastically, and she rose from the ground, and she turned around and came in front of Cheng Sichu.

Swinging the knife to cut off the incoming arrow, she grabbed Cheng Sichu's shoulder and fell to the ground, hiding her behind the pillar, she lifted the knife and went up to the roof without saying a word.

The black shadow floating feather arrows whizzed towards with a strong wind, Mei Xin floated up and did not retreat but advanced, urging Qinggong to be as light as a swallow, and she disappeared within a few ups and downs.

Zongzheng Mingzhen was shocked, fearing that something might happen to her, he quickly chased after her, and Xiaodouzi and others did the same, they chased her out the door without saying a word.

When the emperor was assassinated, the Gyeonggi Guards almost came out in full force, because there were only a hundred people staying in the Gyeonggi camp who hadn't caught the assassin, and they chased after Mei Xin left, and the courtyard was empty after a while.

Cheng Sichu knew that his chance to escape was coming, so he struggled to sit up, passed the hands tied behind his back under his legs, moved to the front and used his teeth to untie the rope, and then dragged his two injured legs to move slowly.

I don't know if it was her father's people who came to save her, she slowly endured the pain and moved to the corner, then squeezed her throat to imitate cicadas.

Soon, with a response, Cheng Sichu was overjoyed, but before she was happy, a knife was quietly put on her neck.

She was startled and didn't know what was going on. She turned her head and glanced at Jingjiwei who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She said with a frightened face, "You, you, who are you, and what do you want to do?"

She stepped back with her palms on the ground, but found that the eyes of the person who came were somewhat familiar. It seemed that she was the person who went to the dungeon of the Eastern Palace to save her. She immediately said happily, "It's you, why did you come to save me?"

After running for so long, she was almost scared to death, and her legs were injured, and she was almost dying of pain.

Without saying a word, the visitor passed the knife in his hand forward, pressed it against her neck and said, "Close your eyes."

Shocked and pale in his heart, Cheng Sichu seemed to understand suddenly and said in horror, "You, what do you want to do, you are not here to save me, you are here to kill me."

She thought of something affirmatively in her tone, but before the words fell, she flinched again.

The visitor was very vigilant. He turned his head and looked around to see no one. Then he squatted down and said to her, "Don't be afraid, my knife is very fast, and I won't let you suffer. Just close your eyes."

Maybe it was Yu who couldn't bear it or maybe it was some other reason, he insisted on asking her to close her eyes before killing her.

Cheng Sichu was stunned, but it was only in a flash, and in a flash, she grabbed the man's arm and said, "I remember you, your name is A Le, you like me, and you want to marry me, right? "

Between life and death, she seemed to be crazy, the fear in her eyes receded, and she changed into a surprised look, as if she saw the lover she had been thinking about day and night.

His brows and eyes moved slightly, but the person didn't say anything, but the knife in his hand was taken out by two points.

In desperation, Cheng Sichu knew that she had guessed right, she was right, she grabbed his hand and said: "I know you are a good person, you have a mother and a younger sister in your family, you are filial and love your younger sister, I am willing to marry you for Wife, it's just whether you don't like it or not, my appearance is ruined..."

The man blurted out the words before he finished speaking, and only heard him say firmly: "I don't dislike it."

Weeping with embarrassment and joy, Cheng Sichu rubbed his thumb back and forth on the back of his hand a few times, moved with sincerity, and hesitated to say: "Well, well, then let's go."

She pounced on him without waiting for his answer. Originally, she wanted to take the opportunity to kill him, but she didn't expect that he would see through her, and a hole appeared in her heart in just a moment.

It never occurred to him that he wouldn't be fooled, Cheng Sichu stared wide-eyed, the man hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear: "I like you, I liked you a long time ago, until today I still like it very much, but as you said, I have younger sisters to love and mothers to be filial to, and I can’t abandon them for you, but don’t worry, I will never marry a wife in my life, and I will never marry anyone but you .”

Tears poured down her face in astonishment, Cheng Sichu never thought that he would say this to herself, but she forgot that he was a killer, and the killer was ruthless, as her mother had told her long ago.

"Yes, who is it? Who wants you to kill me?" She thought about it but she wasn't sure, because her world had changed since she left Prince Liang's mansion. Running around and hiding, she hasn't even had a good night's sleep in the past three years.
