It's hard to be the king of rebirth

The autumn rain was lingering, and the two looked at each other, their swords were on the verge of breaking out, and they were chilling.

After a long time, the emperor said in a deep voice: "Hengzhi, what you said is clearly torturing me."

Zhou Xu turned a deaf ear and continued, "Let Li Sang go, or I won't get up."

The emperor raised his hand and rubbed his temples, frowned and said, "I've allowed you to make trouble for two days, you should have had enough trouble, these things are beyond your control." As he spoke, he leaned down and grabbed Zhou Xu's shoulders, trying to squeeze Zhou Xu's shoulders. He pulled it up, but Zhou Xu remained motionless, looking straight at the emperor calmly and firmly.

The emperor's eyes became more bloodshot. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, stood up straight, put his hands behind his back in front of Zhou Xu, and said word by word: "Come here, drag the virtuous king into the house!"

Zhou Xu knelt on his knees for two days, but he couldn't stand still. He was carried into the house by the palace guards.The emperor saw the blood oozing from his knees, two pools of eye-catching red, and the nails of his clenched fists went straight into the flesh.

The stagnant blood vessels gradually became unobstructed, and the nerves that had been collapsing for a long time relaxed instantly. Zhou Xu suddenly felt a lot of dots of light appearing in front of his eyes, which couldn't be seen clearly. It was dark.

The palace servants removed his soaked clothes, and the imperial physician checked the wound on his knee, the skin was so worn that the bones were barely visible.

After a lot of tossing, medicine, soup, and bandages were done, everyone retreated, and the emperor tucked the quilt up for Zhou Xu, feeling extremely tired, tired inside and out.He leaned against Zhou Xu's bed and squinted for a while.

When Zhou Xu woke up again, it was broad daylight, the air was dry and slightly cool, the heat had subsided, and he did not know how long he had been asleep.As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw that the emperor was leaning over the desk to review the memorial with his back to him.

When Xu Shi heard the movement behind him, the emperor turned around, saw Zhou Xu opened his eyes, and came to his bed.With a calm face, the anger and helplessness of that night have all disappeared, and he said calmly: "You slept for two days and two nights."

Two days and two nights, that is to say, four days have passed since Li Sang was arrested in the execution ground.

Zhou Xu propped his body up on his elbows, and asked eagerly, "Li Sang—"

"Very well." The emperor interrupted him, raised his eyebrows and said, "In the dungeon, there is still an imperial doctor treating his wounds. I am afraid that he is the only one from ancient times to the present."

Zhou Xu was stunned, and he relaxed a little bit. Although he couldn't confirm it with his own eyes, he expected that the emperor and the king of a country would not lie to him, and Li Sang's current situation should not be too bad.

Seeing his appearance, the emperor raised the corners of his mouth helplessly: "From ancient times to the present, you are the only one who can push me to this point."

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Huang." Zhou Xu raised his eyes and looked at the emperor intently, taking a gamble.

The emperor met his eyes, his dark eyes were like unfathomable cold pools, glowing coldly, and said word by word: "When did I promise you not to kill him?"

Zhou Xu paused, and replied firmly: "Now"

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said: "Hengzhi, you know, the crime he committed, even if it is me, it is extremely difficult to save him."

"My younger brother knows—" Zhou Xu replied without hesitation, "So, my younger brother will come up with a solution to save Li Sang."

This answer was unexpected by the emperor, and he was stunned to prove it, full of interest: "You mean, let me cooperate with you to put on a show, and rescue the rebellious person who robbed the law field from the dungeon?" Laughed a few times, really ridiculous.

"Yes..." Zhou Xu looked at the emperor without any hesitation.

The emperor smiled wryly: "Heng Zhi, do you know that the sky is high and the earth is thick?"

"My younger brother only knows what a promise is, and I have already promised to protect that person for the rest of his life."

The emperor's gaze was cold, so cold that just one glance would make one's hair stand on end, but Zhou Xu didn't back down in the slightest, and stared blankly into the emperor's eyes.

"It's very good, protect him for the rest of his life, if you do this, it's tantamount to making me... sad for the rest of my life." He said this in an almost understatement tone.Forget it, the person in front of him is no longer the person he used to be, and it is precisely because he is not the person he used to be that he...

The helplessness turned into a barely audible sigh: "Go and see him."

A bronze token carved with the body of a dragon's sword fell in front of Zhou Xu's eyes.

Waiting for Zhou Xu at the entrance of the dungeon was still Master Wei, the head guard. After a round of greetings and bows, Zhou Xu was familiarly led into the dungeon.

Everyone knew that the prince had knelt at the gate of the imperial study for two days and two nights before he got the token to enter and leave the dungeon. They knew there must be a story in it, and they were afraid to say anything along the way, for fear of touching the prince and causing him to be killed. disaster.

Everyone was silent, and there were only a few dim lights in the dungeon, which was indescribably gloomy and oppressive.

In a prison room at the end of the dungeon, the candlelight seemed to be brighter than other places. A person was sitting in a corner to recuperate his breath. His hands and feet were tied with heavy iron chains. His face was slightly pale, and his lips had faded to light red. Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, he was reluctant to raise his eyelids.The prison cell is fully equipped with quilts and curtains, so I don't worry about him getting cold.

Seeing Li Sang like this, Zhou Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, for this traitor... the imperial physician who was treating you just left, and the medicine is boiling on the fire." Master Wei rolled his eyes, and he had already smelled that the prince and this traitor were close friends, so the words he said were naturally pleasant. .

Zhou Xu nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wei."

Lord Wei smiled apologetically: "Don't dare, it's a blessing to be a subordinate official to be able to work for the prince."

A jailer opened the lock of the cell, and the man was willing to open his eyes slightly, and wrote lightly: "The dungeon is dirty, it's not the place for the prince to come."

Zhou Xu winked at Mr. Wei, Mr. Wei smiled knowingly, said to go and see how the medicine was cooking, and then quickly backed out.

Seeing that everyone retreated, Zhou Xu strode up to Li Sang and knelt down, grabbed his hand, his palm was slightly cold, and the iron chain rattled, and said in a trembling voice, "It's been a while."

Li Sangyun looked at Zhou Xu calmly, and said calmly, "It's okay, thanks to the lord, this dungeon is better than an inn to live in, and someone will take good care of you when you eat and heal." After a pause, he said: "I heard that the lord Kneeling in front of the imperial study room for two days, the body of the prince's daughter should be cherished, don't make such a fuss for me, a rebellious person."

Zhou Xu heard that Li Sang's tone was very strange, and thought to himself, could it be that he went to watch the execution on the day I was born?So he stood up and leaned into Li Sang's ear and said, "Kneeling on the flat ground of the imperial study for two days is nothing, if you let me kneel on the washboard for two days, I will kneel for you."

Li Sang glared at Zhou Xu, his cheeks were flushed from the base of his ears to his neck, he finally looked a little bloody, and he had to lower his voice in shame and anger, "The wall has ears, no one is serious!"

By the way, this is what Li Sang should look like, Zhou Xu lowered his voice and laughed and said, "Anyway, you are all mine, so why not be ashamed."

Li Sang raised his hand to hit him, but the iron chain tied to his hand clanked immediately, Zhou Xu pretended to be afraid and said: "If you hit me, those guards will rush up."

Li Sang glanced at it, and sure enough, when the guards heard the movement, they all looked at them together, with their hands on the saber, looking like they were about to move, then they lowered their hands angrily, stared at Zhou Xu and said, "I'll clean up your mouth some other day .”

Zhou Xu smiled and said, "Okay, I'm waiting for you to clean up. Who else can clean me up except you?" As he spoke, he helped him pull up his hair hanging on his shoulders, not caring about those who swept towards them. look of astonishment.

Zhou Xu's gaze sank, Li Sang's neck to collarbone, everywhere he looked were covered with scars of all sizes, shocking.Li Sang noticed his gaze, closed his clothes tightly again, and said indifferently: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I have suffered dozens of times more injuries than this, so it's not a problem."

Zhou Xu hooked the corners of his mouth reluctantly, and said, "Yes, yes, you don't care, anyway, it's me who loves you." After a pause, he said, "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you have made up your mind to separate Yin and Yang from now on... Just let me hug you."

Li Sang pondered for a while, then lowered his eyes and said: "Your Highness will take His Highness's Yangguan Road, and I will cross my single-plank bridge. We are not the same people—"

"If it's not a person from the same road, why do I always meet you? You are everywhere I go." Zhou Xu interrupted Li Sang and said that it was not a person from the same road. He knew it was nonsense. Having said that.

"..." Li Sang was speechless, after all, he was the one who followed...

"You can call me a rascal or a jerk, anyway, I'll stick to you from now on, and it's useless if I'm not a friend." Zhou Xu said sternly.

After hearing this, Li Sang was stunned for a while, then shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Dog skin plaster."

"Isn't that right, I'm sticking to you." Zhou Xu knew very well that if he didn't put on a face for someone like Li Sang, he might have doubts in his heart.

Li Sang also laughed, and after a long time, he said: "Then you have to beg your brother, let him leave me a whole body, the death looks better, and you choose a better coffin for me, and you hold my body The two of them hid in the coffin every day, not to be afraid or to be disgusted by the smell or nausea, until it rotted thoroughly—" After a pause, he continued: "It's okay not to leave the whole body, after the execution is over, when I die It's clear, you burn me again, and leave the ashes next to your pillow." The tone was light, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, but he was explaining the things behind him, and every word was cruel.

Zhou Xu put away his hippie smile, his complexion finally sank, and he held Li Sang's hand and said, "I promise you, I will protect you for the rest of my life, and I will never break my promise."

Li Sang pondered for a while, and said: "Zhou Xu, if you want to keep me alive, the emperor may not be able to do it, but you dare to say it."

"Not only dare to say, but also dare to do it, just wait and see." Zhou Xu squinted his eyes halfway, showing a playful smile again.

Li Sang wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth a few times, hesitant to speak, and finally turned into a sigh: "I have never been afraid of death, why can't you find out."

Zhou Xu pulled his face down on purpose, pretending to be angry: "Yes, I, Zhou Xu, am just chaotic and can't see through it. I'm not as free and easy as you Li Sang hero. I was hugged once and said to leave me. Wouldn't say it even to the death."

Li Sang was angry and funny, originally thinking that after that night, the fate will be broken, he will be his rich prince, he will go to his underworld, if he is really reluctant, he can still wait for him at Naihe Bridge.Unexpectedly, this person who was always half-hearted before became serious and stubborn this time. Is it a good thing or a bad thing?Who can tell.

Seeing that Li Sang frowned slightly, his face was a little paler than before, and he looked lost in thought, so he thought he was injured and tired, so he said, "Are you sleepy? Why don't you rest for a while." As he said that, he laid out the quilt on the floor for him. The quilt was brand new, clean and exuded the fragrance of sunlight, and Zhou Xu was very satisfied.

Although Li Sang had deep internal energy, his vitality was also damaged by the torture of thousands of knives, this thought and exhaustion, he was indeed a little tired, so he lay down as he said.

Zhou Xu tucked in the quilt for him, and the quilt couldn't be tightly covered even if the quilt was lifted by the iron chain. Zhou Xu thought to himself, one day when the emperor is in a good mood, he begged him to remove the iron chain.

Looking at each other, Zhou Xu said: "I come to see you every day, you heal your injury quickly, and I will bring wine."

Li Sang nodded, and after a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Zhou Xu, you can save me if you want, but don't hurt your own life."

Zhou Xu's face darkened, and he forced a smile and said, "Okay, I promise you."
