Drunk King and Minister

The long hair of the man in the hall was disheveled, and the snow-white jacket was stained with blood and dust, and the original color could no longer be seen clearly.Layers of scarlet flesh on the hands and feet that were handcuffed by iron chains were exposed, some were scabbed with blood, and some were bloody.

Chen Baxian was startled. He only ordered Han Zigao to be imprisoned for three days, and he didn't torture him. How could he look so embarrassed.

But Han Zigao dared not answer his questions!

What audacity!These injuries deserve it!

Chen Baxian sneered, his face already worried.

"His head, hold it up!"

Hearing the order, the guard stepped forward, raised his hand and raised Han Zigao's face covered by broken hair, facing Chen Baxian's direction.

Chen Ba was first in a trance for a while, and then felt a chill in his heart.

He had long heard that his nephew had a young general under his command, who was very talented and had an outstanding face, but he didn't expect to be so beautiful, and even in such a distressed situation, he was even better than all the concubines in his mansion.

But the look in the eyes of this person...

Ever since he assumed the real power in the Liang Dynasty, almost no one dared to look at him like that! !

His nephew was one, such a young boy dared to stare at him without avoiding it!No no, instead of staring, it's better to say... ignore? !

Yes, just ignore it! !

Chen Ba's stomach started to rage, and his words became even more stern.

"It's not good to escort the princess! You can be convicted!"

Chen Baxian thought that the young man would retort a few words, but he didn't expect that he said something casually without blinking his eyes.

"I will be convicted at the end."

"You..." Chen Ba choked for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Want to be convicted?But his purpose is not to punish him!

Han Zigao knelt down in the hall, gradually gaining confidence in his heart.

It turned out that Chen Baxian wanted to win him over.

Wanting to understand this, Han Zigao didn't know whether to cry or laugh.He didn't know yet that he was worthy of Chen Ba's wooing first.

Han Zigao looked at Chen Baxian quietly, his eyes were calm.It seemed that the person whose life was hanging by a thread was not himself.

Chen Baxian felt a trace of contempt in that calm gaze.

He suddenly became angry from embarrassment, wishing to immediately tear away the calmness on the young man's face in front of him.

"Come on, drag him down..."

"Report!" The guard outside the door shouted, "General Zhenbei, Kaifu Yi and the third division Hou An are all begging to see you!"

"Xuan!" Chen Baxian had a thought in his mind, and Hou Andu asked to see him at this time, but he didn't know what his purpose was.

Hou Andu came in from the door and saw Han Zigao at first sight.

His eyes were dim, and he only glanced at him before ignoring him, and bowed first to the superior Chen Ba: "This subordinate has something to report to your lord again."

Chen Ba waved his hand first, signaling to take Han Zigao down first.

Han Zigao looked at Hou Andu's back silently, and a wave flashed in his eyes.He didn't know that after Xiao Bo was put down, Hou Andu was promoted to a noble again.Zhenbei General, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, such official positions are not as bright as the county king on the surface, but at the moment when the domestic situation is uneasy, in terms of generals, they are more sought after than the famous but powerless county king went.

It seems that not only Zihua is acting, Chen Baxian also began to vigorously suppress Zihua's influence.

Han Zigao couldn't help feeling a little anxious.Zihua, does he know?

Han Zigao was dragged a hundred meters away from the hall and thrown on a stone slab that was scalded by the midday sun.The heat of the stone slab warmed his trembling cold joints slightly, but it did what he wanted.The coldness in the body was slightly removed, and the pain in the limbs and the tingling of the wound on the body gradually became clearer.

Han Zigao sighed slightly.

It was cold in the prison, and after his old injury relapsed, the tingling and itching that penetrated into the bone marrow made him unable to bear it and rubbed his limbs against the cold wall vigorously to reduce the tingling sensation.I don't want to, I tossed myself into this appearance.

I don't know if I can go back alive after this disaster.

What Han Zigao never expected was that when he was taken away again, he went straight to Hou'an's mansion.

The curtains on the bed are inconspicuous gray coarse cloth curtains, and the utensils in the room are very ordinary and casual, which is the style of Hou Andu.

Han Zigao lay casually on the bed, the wounds on his body had been treated by the doctor, and he took a comfortable hot bath under the service of several servants, and drank a bowl of hot porridge. The soft bed really feels as comfortable as being reborn.

He wasn't surprised that Hou An would save him, he just wondered why Chen Baxian let him go so easily.What kind of agreement was reached between him and Hou Andu? In this agreement, what kind of identity did Han Zigao play.

It has been nearly two hours since he was brought to the Hou Mansion.Hou An has yet to show up.

Han Zigao sat up from the bed, looked at the door in thought.

If his guess is correct, Chen Baxian should have entrusted Hou Andu with the task of wooing him.

If this is the case, does it mean that Hou An is already on the opposite side of Chen Qian?

On the way Zihua walked, there was another formidable enemy...

Han Zigao narrowed his eyes slightly, his thoughts were unclear.

There was a soft knock at the door, and a tall figure turned in.

Han Zigao's eyes turned, and he was calm again.

"Thank you, General, for saving your life." Han Zigao said, and then he got down from the cave to salute.

Hou Andu didn't stop him this time.

He looked at Han Zigao calmly, a little too plainly, unlike his usual appearance.

Han Zigao was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he said with a smile: "The general has such a face, could it be that Zigao owes the general silver taels?"

"You don't have to put on a smile to put me off." Hou Andu stepped forward with oppression, "You should guess the reason why I saved you."

Hou An has changed a lot, but Han Zigao can't tell where the change is.

For this sake, Han Zigao no longer practiced Tai Chi.

With a calm face, he looked directly at Hou Andu: "If the purpose of Master Shangshu is the same, Zigao has nothing to say."

Hou Andu took another two steps forward, almost touching Han Zigao.

"Are you not willing to spare your life for him?!"

"Zigao is not for him, but for his own heart." Han Zigao looked directly at Hou Andu, without giving in.

The two stared at each other in silence for several minutes.

"Good! Good! Good!" Hou An said a few good words, strode back to the door, and without looking at Han Zigao, he slammed the door and left without looking back.

Han Zigao sighed.

It seems that it won't be long before I have to go back to that dungeon again.

He didn't care about that.I'm afraid Zihua hasn't received half of his news yet.Jiankang is far from Wu Xing, even if he rides a horse overnight, it will take about half a month. In just a few days...

That's good too, to save his violent temper from causing trouble.

However, judging from his observations when he entered the Hou's mansion, it seemed that Hou'an was about to go on an expedition again.Xiao Bo's rebellion is over, what is Hou An going to do again?And judging from the atmosphere in the mansion, this expedition may still be a tough battle.

He was worried that Zihua would miss some important event...

Han Zigao paced around the room, feeling faintly anxious.

However, after Hou Andu left in a rage, the food was still delivered on time, and everything was as if nothing had happened.However, once Han Zigao wanted to go out, someone would stop him.

Days passed like this for two days.

Goodbye to Hou Andu, already two days later.

"Hou Andu, what on earth are you going to do?!" Han Zigao lost his composure.

"What? You won't be called a general this time?" Hou An raised his eyebrows and smiled, and threw a package to Han Zigao.

When Han Zigao caught the package, he felt heavy and powerful, and there was a dull iron sound when he collided with his arm.

"Open it and have a look." Hou Andu raised his chin, motioning for Han Zigao to open the package.

Han Zigao slowly opened the package.

Inside the package was a brand new set of armor.The ink print is inlaid with fine pieces of armor, and the neckline is embroidered with a few red borders and a white piping. The lower part of the armor is black and red on the outside, and the embroidery is exquisite. Silver buckle, and two rings of wolf tooth fine iron cuffs.

Han Zigao paused, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Hou An had a panoramic view of the surprise.He really liked it.

"What do you mean?" Han Zi suppressed his excitement and looked up at Hou Andu.This armor, like the Blade Moon Sword, made him unable to extricate himself from the first sight.

"Follow me."

Han Zigao's eyes flickered slightly: "Did you commit crimes and meritorious deeds?"

If it was for Chen Baxian...

"It's not about people." Hou An moved his fingertips behind his back, "It's rare for you to be confused, why don't you let Master Shangshu think that your use value is not that high?"

Let Master Shangshu think that his use value is not that high...

A gleam of clarity flashed in Han Zigao's eyes.

"Thank you."

"It's too early to say thank you." Hou An clapped his hands.

A person carrying a tray came in from outside the door.

Something lay still on the tray, gleaming coldly in the sun.

Han Zigao stared at the object, his pupils slightly dilated.

Blade Moon...

It was the Blade Moon Sword that he handed over with his official uniform when he was captured in Jiankang...

He turned his head and looked deeply at Hou Andu.

Sure enough, it was too early to say thank you.

Kindness without saying thanks.

June of the second year of Taiping.

Wang Lin ruled the ships and attacked Chen Baxian.

Chen Ba first ordered Pingxi General Zhou Wenyu, Zhenbei General Hou Andu and other 2 navy troops to join forces in Wuchang to conquer Wang Lin.

In July, the general of Zhenbei was in charge of Andu, and the army marched westward to attack Wang Lin.

From Jiankang to Wuchang, the army marched for three months.

Han Zigao, who was with the army, didn't know that just as he was getting farther and farther away from Wu Xing, the Prince's Mansion of Wu Xing County thousands of miles away was already in chaos.
