Qinse is in the imperial court, forgetting both favor and disgrace

The stars hang down and the plains are wide, and the moon springs from the river.

Autumn has come, when it is dry grass and windy shore, a lonely night boat with dangerous masts, the boat moored alone by the river is a medium-sized sand boat that is commonly seen on the Yangtze River, with a square head and a square tail, and it can also stop and start at any time in the shoals full of sandbars. Extremely flexible and convenient.

The ship has been quietly guarding here since the sun was sinking, and when it was three o'clock, it finally ushered in the hurried crossing passengers.

There were about five or six people in that group, dressed as northern merchants, with cloaks on their shoulders, and came on horseback from the direction of Jinling, the royal city. Get down the bag, and let go of the rein.

Ten zhang away from this group of people, there is another rider, a young man, dressed exactly like the boys in Jiangnan in the city, with green clothes and blue clothes, white socks and cloth shoes, they have followed these people silently since they left the city gate before sunset, but They didn't come close, and they wandered around outside the city with them, pretending to enjoy the moonlight and autumn scenery in the mountains, and whiled away a few hours, in the middle of the night, it seemed that they were ordered to set off, urging their horses and galloping all the way to the riverside.

Seeing that the team in front had dismounted and walked on foot, the man reined in the horse's head slightly, slowed down, and closed the distance. When he was about to catch up, he also jumped off the horse and trotted forward, leading the horse.

The group of people was still walking at the same speed, only the tall man who was walking among several people turned his head and smiled at the knight who followed them silently: "Little prince, you followed me all the way, now follow me!" After arriving here, are you really planning to go back to the north with me?"

This person's tone was frivolous, and although he was fluent in Chinese, he sounded hard to conceal. He was the envoy from Beiliang, and the "little prince" he was talking about was of course Li Ming.

Hearing this, Li Ming took two quick steps, walked straight into the crowd, and walked side by side with the envoy from Beiliang. The attendants who came to envoy did not obstruct them, and quickly gathered the two of them in the center.

With a sneer, Li Ming said, "I don't know, it turns out that the people of Beiliang are also glib and untrustworthy. If you really have the heart, why did you leave tonight without saying goodbye?"

There was a lot of reproach in his tone, Bei Liang didn't think he was disobedient, he raised his voice and laughed in the quiet night, and finally smiled Li Ming said: "You are an interesting person, when I suggested it, who's face was covered with horse dung The look on your face, you just missed me, and now you blame me for not saying hello to you...Little prince, your thoughts are moving faster than our girls from Beiliang!"

When the voice fell, muffled laughter erupted everywhere. Li Ming didn't seem to notice it, but still sneered and said, "Why bother to argue? In the end, it's because you didn't mean it?"

Bei Liang came to make a smile but didn't say a word, everyone walked without rest, and soon arrived at the boat mooring on the shore.

"You guys get on the boat first, and I'll say goodbye to the little prince." Bei Liang came to envoy, he waved his hand lightly, sweeping away the hesitation of the followers, and when he got to the shore, he was left alone with Li Ming. His eyes flickered, and he smiled again at Li Ming, "Little Prince, have you thought it through?"

Li Ming took a step forward, raised his head and stared straight at Beiliang Shishi, but also vaguely said: "Thought it out...it depends on human effort..."

He got closer, the wind was strong by the river, and the cloak that came from Beiliang fluttered and fluttered, like a small screen, separating the two from the others.

The envoy from Beiliang heard the answer, and stretched out his hand to Li Ming with a smile. There was a smile on Li Ming's face. He said it was too late and then quickly, his footsteps were slippery. The dagger, from bottom to top, shot like lightning, coming and going without any mistakes, piercing the throat.

The Beiliang Laishi still stretched out his arms, his upper body fell back violently, narrowly avoiding a blow.

Li Ming's blood was boiling, he felt the real feeling of the sharp knife cutting through the flesh and blood, and he was even more encouraged. With a light drink, he jumped up in victory, intending to stab the dagger into the vital point of the North Liang from above.

The murder weapon whistled with the wind, and the envoy had just suffered a loss, but he was not afraid of danger. At the same time, his figure exploded, and he pulled back with his hand, Li Ming felt that his eyes suddenly went dark. It turned out that the envoy's cloak was like a black cloud Like cover to him.

His vision was obstructed, so he had to slow down his movements, but how could it be a fuel-efficient lamp?

Seeing that the blow was missed, although Li Ming was unwilling, he also knew that the opponent had a large number of people. As soon as his feet hit the ground, his body already used his strength to retreat. His mount was a well-trained horse, as long as he got on the horse, No matter how capable the Beiliang people are, they can't stand him. He can escape safely and make another plan.

Single-handedly assassinating the envoy from Beiliang was Li Ming's own initiative, and he never told anyone that these Beiliang people would soon cross the river and return to the country. His actions should be kept secret.

This is not his whim, to avenge the rudeness of these Beiliang people, he is not a vicious young man who bows silently, bows his bow, and holds his sword sharply. In the final analysis, it is because of a bottom line in his heart and Zhao Rang, who is in love .

That day, he pretended to do something and complained his heartfelt pain. Li Ming also told Zhao Rang about the envoy from Beiliang. He didn't wait for Zhao Rang to respond. If the enemy is introduced to the side of the couch, even if he really wins the position of supreme, how will he end up then, and how will he explain to the world?

At that time, he didn't know whether Zhao Rang knew the plan of "Master", and his words were intended to be probing, but he didn't need Zhao Rang to speak, just seeing the man's expression suddenly changed, Li Ming was relieved in his heart.

In the end it was Zhao Rang, Jing Du insisted on it, and never let him down.

Sure enough, Zhao Rang said with a faint smile: "It's a great move, join hands with Beiliang, and cooperate with the inside and outside, so that General Cao has no time to look after King Qin. Going south again is a rebellion. I don't know how much profit Beiliang can make, so I am willing to cooperate with it."

Li Ming didn't know the specifics of the plot, so he could only hold Zhao Rang's hand and said, "I just want you to know that I am a man from Dongchu, no matter whether I am of Li's blood or not, such collusion with the enemy will never be done with them." Complicit."

These words should have been sonorous and forceful, but he said them weakly and lazily.

He was really disheartened.

Since he was sensible, most of the things Li Ming believed in with all his heart have now been hacked to pieces by his dear mother and "master", and all he has left at this moment is a blank, empty sense of helplessness , and the passion for Zhao Rang Shangyu.

If the envoy of Beiliang could be removed, Li Ming wishfully thought that if he rescued Zhao Rang's sister, maybe he would be willing to hide with him hand in hand. Difficult.

If things fail and he dies, he can be regarded as seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence. He can't help himself, but he can't be a traitor who betrays his ancestors and forgets his ancestors.

With this in mind, Fang Youyou took advantage of Beiliang's envoy to return to the country tonight and put all his eggs in one basket.

It's just that Li Ming never expected that this Beiliang envoy was not only used to equestrian combat, but also won't lose in hand-to-hand combat. At the very moment when he was about to jump on the horse's back, the envoy came flying towards the sheep with a fierce tiger on his back. The arm ape stretched out, and locked Li Ming's waist and legs tightly with one movement.

He stabilized his lower body, shouted and lifted Li Ming into the air, exerted force on his feet, bent his back like a bow, and immediately threw Li Ming "upside down" on the ground. Before the boy could get up, he turned around and grabbed him again. Li Ming's waist fell like a golden bell, and Li Ming was firmly pressed down.

The envoy from Beiliang smiled and said, "How is it? Are you still coming?"

Li Ming was thrown dizzily by this man, and the dagger had already disappeared. When he regained consciousness, the Beiliang guards who had already boarded the ship had already heard the sound and rushed over. Refers to Li Ming.

The envoy grabbed Li Ming with his hands behind his back, and signaled his attendants to tie him up. He looked at the bound boy with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to wipe the wound on his neck and throat, and wiped the blood stained between his fingers on Li Ming's cheek.

Li Ming had completely calmed down at this time, and since he had the will to die, the panic just now was swept away, without fear, he stared at Shi Shi coldly, without saying a word.

"Is it your own idea?" Lai Shi asked with a smile.

"Of course." Li Ming answered with his head held high, "You are going to offend me, Dongchu, and you are not allowed to kill you? It's nothing serious."

"I won't kill you." Bei Liang smiled lightly, "Since it was your own idea, then no one in Dongchu knows your whereabouts, right?"

His narrow expression surprised Li Ming inexplicably, and before he could figure it out, the envoy already said, "The little prince of Eastern Chu came here to throw himself into the trap. Of course, this king will accept it with a smile."

This is the first time that a unique self-proclaimed name was used. Li Ming suddenly felt that something was wrong. He had heard about the kings of the Northern Liang Kingdom. Judging from his age and personality, it was very likely that he was Shi, the mother and brother of the current Northern Liang King. Qi.

But before he could speak again, the envoy already said nothing, carried Li Ming on his shoulders, and strode towards the sandboat.

Li Ming knew it was fruitless, but he still couldn't help but angrily said: "Let me go!"

When the envoy put him in the cabin, the boy realized in horror that the other party really wanted to take him to a different place in Beiliang, but no one knew about his trip into the land of tigers and wolves!

And I don't know that in this life, there is still a day when I can return to my homeland.

No matter how stubborn and determined he was, at this point, he was completely at a loss, with tears rolling in his eyes, only relying on a sense of arrogance, he clenched his teeth and held back.

But after a while, the sandboat set sail, Li Ming listened intently to the sound of Jiang Tao, and felt even more desolate, only hated himself for being reckless, his hands and feet were bound, and he could barely move, he moved to the corner of the cabin with his heart full of heat, holding his breath Gathering up his strength, he slammed into it head-on.

There was a muffled sound from the ship planks, Li Ming's eyes turned dark, his ears were buzzing, and his mouth was about to vomit. He had tried his best, but this cabin was originally designed for the occupant, and the walls were decorated with sheep. Felt, after buffering, although it made his head bleed, he could not wish to die.

This opportunity was still fleeting, before Li Ming could make any further efforts, the cabin door opened, and the envoy from Beiliang entered the room, lifted Li Ming onto the low couch, and said with a smile: "If you want to die, I will call someone I raped your body, tied it to a bamboo raft, and drifted along the river, what do you think?"

At this time, his expression and words all changed, and the cold air radiated out. Although he was still smiling and groaning, Li Ming knew that if he fell into this person's hands, life would be worse than death.

He was exhausted physically and mentally, no matter how hard he was to support himself, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and lost consciousness.
