The news quickly spread throughout the South Hall.

"Now I can finally feel at ease. Once the little lunatic dies, no one will attack us again."

"Really? The general wants to execute the little lunatic?"

"This is the order personally issued by the King of Chu. Tomorrow at noon, the little lunatic will be beheaded in the big courtyard of the Dizang Pavilion..."

After hearing what the guards outside said, Li Bier left the door, walked slowly to the table in the room, and sat down.

The corners of her lips under the veil gradually curved, and the King of Chu personally ordered that Cui Hengyue was dead this time.

After Luo Sanniang, who was working in the big yard, learned the news, she quietly sneaked to the vicinity of the South Cave under the guise of changing clothes, and imitated the pigeons in calling a few times: "Cuckoo, coo, coo, coo...

..”

"What's the sound? Go and have a look." Jin Hu said to his companion.

The companion followed the sound, but Luo Sanniang had already left.

After Xie Yu in the Nandi Cave heard the cry of "pigeon", he opened his mouth and smiled: "Cui Hengyue is going to die, that's great."

Those who were reflecting behind closed doors in the North Courtyard also heard the discussion of the guards outside the door. When they learned that Cui Hengyue was about to be beheaded, Su Biwen couldn't help but smile with relief on his face.

When Song Zhuoxing found out, he looked very solemn.

Runzhu stared at Song Zhuoxing's face for a few seconds and said, "Sanlang, are you trying to steal someone from the King of Chu again?"

"I won't let her die."

Just one sentence showed Song Zhuoxing's determination.

Runzhu sighed helplessly and asked, "When are you going to take action?"

Song Zhuoxing thought for a while before replying: "Tonight."

"What about our mission?"

"Don't worry, I will only save her and send her safely out of Yunxuan Temple. I will come back again."

Runzhu heard something was wrong: "You mean you are going to save Miss Cui alone, without me?"

"Yes." Song Zhuoxing was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he explained: "We were punished to reflect behind closed doors for three days, and today is only the second day. I will take action tonight, and I will be back tomorrow night at the latest.

"Don't worry, they won't give us food or drink for these three days, and they won't come in to check. As long as I come back in time, they won't find out."

Runzhu still had worries: "What if we are discovered?"

"Then just say that I disappeared while you were sleeping and you didn't know anything. We'll talk about other things when I come back."

Seeing that Song Zhuoxing had arranged everything, Runzhu took off the purse from his waist and handed it over: "This is the biluo I secretly took yesterday morning. You should eat it first to fill your stomach, otherwise you won't be able to save people tonight."

.”

Song Zhuoxing pushed his purse back: "You keep it to eat. I'll get some food first when I go out tonight."

Hearing this, Runzhu took back his wallet with confidence.

--------

Although everyone in Ksitigarbha Pavilion knew that Cui Hengyue was about to die soon, not everyone in Wenshu Pavilion knew the news. For example, Lin Jiang was locked in a room and knew nothing about it.

After Ku Xuan met the two guards who were newly transferred to guard the courtyard, he hurried to the corridor and whispered to Zhen Jiu: "Jiulang, the King of Chu has ordered that Cui Hengyue be executed at noon tomorrow in the courtyard of the Dizang Pavilion."

Zhen Jiu's expression remained unchanged, and her voice was neither sad nor happy: "Very good."

Kuxuan: "..."

After being silent for a while, Ku Xuan couldn't help but persuade: "Jiulang, you clearly know that Cui Hengyue did not kill those two guards, Li Bi'er and Su Biwen are the most likely murderers.

"You killed an innocent person with just one word. What's the difference between you and Cui Quan?

"Jiulang, the imperial doctor never wants to see you become such a person."

Zhen Jiu had a long face and said angrily: "As long as I can avenge my family, I am willing to become a traitor despised by everyone."

"Jiulang, you..." Kuxuan was very angry, but he couldn't bear to blame Zhen Jiu.

Zhen Jiu: "If you can't bear to see Cui Hengyue executed, you can go and tell General Mu, but I won't change my mind."

Kuxuan: "..."

If the master doesn't change his words, what's the point of speaking? General Mu must believe what the master says.

Finally, Ku Xuan, who was filled with sadness and helplessness, had no choice but to say: "You are the master, and I will do whatever you tell me.

"It's just that, Kuro, I hope you won't regret today's impulsive move in the future."

Zhen Jiu was shocked and said forcefully: "Don't worry, I will never regret it."

...

Guanyin Pavilion.

"Gugu——"

Hearing the sound, Cui Hengyue looked at Qionghua's belly: "Are you hungry?"

Qionghua lowered her head in embarrassment and said softly, "Yeah."

She hadn't eaten anything since she was taken to Guanyin Pavilion last night. Her stomach was empty and she felt very uncomfortable.

"Here comes someone -" Cui Hengyue shouted towards the door.

Qionghua was startled: "Yueyue, what do you want to do?"

Just as Cui Hengyue was about to reply, the door opened with a creak.

The guard appeared at the door and looked at Cui Hengyue expressionlessly: "What's the matter?"

"We want to eat." Cui Hengyue requested.

The guard said coldly: "You are almost dead, so what else can you eat? It's a waste of food."

Hearing this, Qionghua cursed loudly: "What did you say? Who is going to die? My little lady will not die. Just wait and see, the King of Chu will definitely let my little lady go."

"Huh!" The guard snorted coldly, not bothering to pay her any attention.

Cui Hengyue's sharp eyes were directed towards him: "King Chu is kind and General Mu is kind. They will never let me go hungry. Just report my request and see if General Mu will agree."

The guard choked for a moment, and then said coldly: "Wait."

Not long after, the guard came back with a food box in his hand.

He took out the food from the food box one by one and placed it on the table. When he turned around and saw that Cui Hengyue and Qionghua's hands and feet were tied, he was immediately troubled.

Cui Hengyue stretched out her hand: "Untie."

The guard didn't move.

"If you don't untie us, how will we eat? Do you want to feed us?" Cui Hengyue said angrily.

Qionghua said anxiously: "How can that be done? Men and women are not intimate with each other. If you want to feed Yueyue, I am the one who feeds her. No one else can."

Cui Hengyue felt very contemptuous when she heard Qionghua said that "men and women are not intimate", but thinking that this could untie the rope, she followed up and said:

"Why, are you still afraid that we will run away?

"The guards of Guanyin Pavilion are all General Mu's personal guards, which is extraordinary. Besides, there are so many of you. I don't dare to be presumptuous.

"Don't worry, I won't run away, and I won't do anything to you. I just want to have a few meals in peace and see my grandma tomorrow."

Qionghua felt sad when she heard this, and shouted with red eyes: "Yueyue..."

"Untie them."

Hearing Mu Yun's voice, the guard quickly turned around and saluted: "General."

Mu Yun walked in, followed by Chi Ye.

"Untie them." Mu Yun said again.

Seeing Akeno step forward, the guard quickly said: "I'll come, I'll come."

After untying the rope, Cui Hengyue moved her hands and feet, stretched her muscles and bones, and then stretched out her hand towards Mu Yun: "The King of Chu asked you to return the dagger to me."

Mu Yun smiled: "I'm just here to give you a short knife."

With that said, Mu Yun took out his short knife and handed it over.
