Chapter 304 Beheading
Three days later, at noon.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the execution platform was already surrounded by people who came to watch the fun, with whispers rising and falling.

"Who is this? A stranger I've never seen before. What crime did he commit?"

"Don't you know who this is? This is Ji Zunxing! The former General Ji, who led his troops to many victories! But he committed the crime of deceiving the emperor a few days ago, and he will be beheaded today!"

"What? This is General Ji? I heard he was fat, how come he is so thin?"

"I heard that he has always been against the princess and insisted on marrying her to a useless man. In my opinion, he deserves to be in this state."

"Marrying a useless person? What's going on?"

"Don't you know? The princess was originally engaged to the emperor of Beiliang..."

Under the high platform, common people gathered, watching the beheading to relieve their anger.

On the high platform, the executioner sat upright and glanced coldly at the prisoner kneeling in the center of the execution platform.

This was a general who was once so glorious, but now his hair was disheveled, his prison uniform was stained with blood, his hands and feet were locked with heavy iron chains, and he looked in a miserable state.

"The criminal has violated the law, deceived the emperor, framed the princess, and endangered the diplomatic relations between the two countries. His crime is unforgivable!" The supervising officer unfolded the imperial edict and said in a loud voice, "In compliance with your majesty's order, at 3:00 p.m., the execution will be immediate! All relatives who have no merits in serving the country will be exiled to the border as punishment."

Hearing the word "Princess", Ji Zunxing raised his head abruptly and shouted hoarsely: "I have never framed Chen Xing. Your Majesty is wise. Chen Xing, Chen Xing, save me!"

"He is about to die, and he still dares to call the princess's name. Shut his mouth!" the executioner interrupted harshly.

The yamen runners at the side immediately stepped forward and stuffed a hemp seed into Ji Zunxing's mouth. Ji Zunxing could only make a "woohoo" sound of struggle, and his cloudy eyes were full of despair and unwillingness.

How did things come to this point today?

Where did Ji Chenxing go? Didn't she already recognize me as her father? Now that I was about to die, how could she turn a blind eye?
Is this the attitude a father of a daughter should have?
"The time has come—execution!"

The executioner obeyed the order and picked up the ghost-head sword. With a flash of cold light, the blade shone with a cold light under the scorching sun.

Ji Zunxing was trembling all over and staring at the knife.

He seemed to see his past self, holding a sword even sharper than this one, killing the enemy in battle, ready to fight at any moment.

He should be a general with great power, he should enjoy a life of wealth and glory, he should retire to his hometown when he is old, and watch his two daughters marry their ideal husbands and live a happy life.

How come it has become like this now?
When did it all start going wrong?

Ji Zunxing’s fantasy had not yet ended. “Puff——” the knife fell, blood splattered, and a head rolled to the ground. The eyes were still wide open, as if it refused to close its eyes until death.

On the other side, the suburbs of Beijing.

The girl jogged for a while, and finally stopped when she saw the gate leading out of the city.

"finally reached."

She stopped, her chest heaving due to the intense exercise, and a slight blush appeared on her dust-covered face.

She is Ji Xueyao.

The capital city was too big, and Ji Xueyao walked and stopped for three or two days before she finally reached the city gate.

Ever since she guessed that Ji Zunxing would not have a good ending that day, Ji Xueyao very wisely began to prepare for her escape.

She had a premonition that Ji Zunxing had made a big mistake this time, and no one related to him would probably benefit from it.

In order to avoid being implicated, Ji Xueyao prepared to escape.

Many people were leaving the city, and they lined up to wait for the soldiers guarding the city.

Ji Xueyao was standing in the queue, and every step forward brought her further away from her hometown.

Memories of more than ten years emerged in her mind bit by bit, and Ji Xueyao couldn't help but tear up.

Who could have imagined that so much would happen in just a few months.

Originally, they had a happy family, but now, all her blood relatives left alive were only Ji Chenxing and Ji Minghan.

Speaking of Ji Minghan, Ji Xueyao actually went to see Ji Minghan a few days ago before she was about to leave Beijing. That day, she guessed what would happen to Ji Zunxing and became very worried. As Ji Minghan's son, he would probably be implicated by Ji Zunxing.

So she planned to escape with Ji Minghan.

Ever since Ji Chenxing helped him, Ji Minghan has gradually become famous and is now a popular figure in the capital.

The storybooks he wrote were widely circulated in Beijing, and he earned a considerable income.

Ji Xueyao felt that she was Ji Minghan's last relative in this world, and Ji Minghan would definitely be willing to go with her.

Ji Xueyao thought that Ji Minghan's family was wealthy now, and if she fled with him, they wouldn't be too financially strapped along the way.

But she didn't expect that Ji Minghan was not only unwilling to go with her, but even unwilling to see her.

Daliang has always attached great importance to filial piety. Ji Minghan lived in this era and he also felt the same.

Even though he was later kicked out of the house by Ji Zunxing, he did not forget to secretly give Shen Ruyan some living expenses every month to supplement the household expenses.

Later, he earned more money, and after Ji Zunxing was demoted and stripped of his title, Ji Minghan gave more money to his family.

In his heart, he loved and felt guilty towards Shen Ruyan and Ji Zunxing, but Ji Zunxing was unwilling to acknowledge him as his son.

Ji Minghan has been looking for opportunities to support his parents and make up for his mistakes.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ruyan was killed by Ji Xueyao.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on, and the child wants to support but the kiss does not wait.

Whenever Ji Minghan saw Ji Xueyao, he would think of his mother.

Now, in Ji Minghan's heart, Ji Xueyao is no longer the biological second sister he used to be, but the enemy who murdered his mother.

His only closest sister is Ji Chenxing.

Ji Minghan didn't know what his fate would be, but he had no intention of leaving the capital.

To be honest, even if he left the capital, what would it matter? In the future, as long as he wanted to support his family, he would have to write storybooks. Once people could recognize his writing style, they would know that he was still alive.

If he doesn't write storybooks in the future, what's the meaning of his life?

Ji Minghan asked his servants to reject Ji Xueyao's request.

Due to various conflicting psychological reasons, Ji Minghan never met Ji Xueyao in the end. He just asked someone to give her a lot of banknotes so that she wouldn't have to live too hard alone.

Ji Xueyao had no other choice but to look at this. Ji Minghan was willing to wait for death here, and she couldn't stay here with him.

She cursed Ji Minghan in a low voice for being ignorant of the current situation, then left alone with the banknotes.

She sold all her valuable clothes and jewelry and exchanged them for silver bills so that she could carry them more easily.

Then she exchanged a set of gray and ragged clothes from a beggar, and smeared mud on her face to hide her identity.

The purpose is to distance himself from Ji Zunxing.

At the city gate, Ji Xueyao covered her messy hair with a hood, looking like a little beggar, and her clothes also gave off a nauseating smell.

Wherever Ji Xueyao passed, passers-by would cover their mouths and noses and stay away from her to avoid getting contaminated by anything dirty from her.

If it were in the past, Ji Xueyao, as a young lady from a general's mansion, would definitely not be able to stand such disdainful looks from others.

But now Ji Xueyao has become indifferent. She hopes that others will stay away from her so that no one will recognize her as Ji Zunxing's daughter.

There were two people queuing up to exit the city gate in front of her, and Ji Xueyao was waiting anxiously.

"Next person."

The voices of the soldiers at the city gate rang in Ji Xueyao's ears.

Just when she thought she would be free soon.

The accident happened anyway.
