Unto his latest breath。

Seeing his victim had passed beyond the realm of punishment; Cao Cao had Quin Quington led in。

〃Do you know this man; Uncle?〃

〃Yes;〃 cried Dong Cheng。 〃So the runaway servant is here。 He ought to be put to death!〃

〃He just told me of your treachery。 He is my witness;〃 said Cao Cao。 〃Who would dare kill him?〃

〃How can you; the First Minister of State; heed the unsupported tale of an absconding servant?〃

〃But I have Wang Zifu and the others in prison;〃 said Cao Cao。 〃And how can you rebut their evidence?〃

A secret decree in a girdle sewn;

In red blood written; the Emperors own;

To the staunch and faithful Dong Cheng addressed;

Who had saved him once when enemies pressed。

And who; sore grieved at his Sovereigns fate;
