Daily life of captives

After Ao Shan left, Li Shao didn't move for the whole afternoon, just sat quietly by the bed, staring blankly at the small porcelain vase on the opposite table, until Xi Hu came to deliver dinner, Li Shao turned around head.

"Young master, it's time to eat."

After glancing at Xi Hu blankly, Li Shao turned his head again, looking at the darkened sky outside the window.

"Is Boyi not coming back today?"

During the ten days when he didn't see Boyi, he had never been so wholeheartedly begging Boyi not to come back as he is now.

Xi Hu showed embarrassment, and said: "General, he has been very busy recently, and there is a New Year banquet in the palace tonight, so..."

Because it was the first year in power, the annual banquet in the palace was held in a grand manner this year, and the general and the others could only use this method to win the favor of the officials for the time being.

"That's right." Li Shao breathed a sigh of relief.

It's fine if Boyi doesn't come back.

"But the general said that he will come back to watch the new year with the young master, but it will be later."

Hearing this, Li Shao's heart clenched again.

"Today, this year is their first year in power, and Boyi is the backbone, so it's not good for people to feel that he is neglecting, and I can't survive that night. If you really can't come back, don't be brave."

Xi Hu said casually: "If all the officials know that the general is coming back to accompany the young master, they will not feel dissatisfied."

Hearing this, Li Shao's eyes faded.

Yes, today's military officers are all Bo Yi's brothers, and most of the civil servants today are his supporters. They all have a tolerant heart for Boyi, but they left earlier, so no one will blame him.

"If Boyi comes back, tell him that I'm already asleep. He's been very busy these days, if he returns early today, he should have a good rest."

"Yes," Xi Hu replied, "Then I will go out. If you have something to do, please tell the guards at the gate."

"it is good."

After Xi Hu left, Li Shao was still sitting by the bed, and glanced at the dinner, which was more sumptuous than usual, but Li Shao had no appetite at all. He comforted himself that Xi Hu would definitely stop his eldest grandson Boyi, while worrying about his eldest grandson Boyi. Yihui didn't listen to the advice, and sat anxiously for a while, but Li Shao decided to go to bed earlier.

But the more he wanted to sleep, the more he couldn't fall asleep. Li Shao was anxious and angry, and tossed and turned for a long time, but he still didn't feel sleepy.

Lying restlessly until midnight, Li Shao still heard Changsun Boyi's voice.

"Is the young master asleep?" Outside the East Wing, the eldest grandson Boyi who slipped out of the palace banquet was a little drunk.

He hadn't seen Li Shao for about ten days, because he didn't want Li Shao to know about the nightmare, and he didn't know how to hide it from Li Shao, so he kept avoiding Li Shao.But today is New Year's Eve, how could he have the heart to let Li Shao live alone?Fortunately, there was wine at the palace banquet, by virtue of his drunkenness, he might be able to hide the truth from Li Shao.

Xi Hu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "The young master is already asleep, and the young master also said that the general should go to rest earlier."

"Well," eldest grandson Boyi nodded, and pushed open the door of the east wing, "I'm sorry, but you are required to be on duty on New Year's Eve. You will stay until tomorrow, and I will add two taels of silver to the brothers who are keeping watch tonight."

"Thank you, General." Xi Hu cupped his fists.

Only then did Changsun Boyi enter the east wing, and he closed the door behind him.

Walking into the inner room softly, Changsun Boyi saw Li Shao sleeping soundly wrapped in a quilt at a glance, and then saw the untouched food on the table in a blink of an eye, Changsun Boyi frowned immediately.

Why didn't Li Shao eat anything?Could it be that he was sick again?

The eldest grandson Boyi hurried to the bedside and pushed Li Shao.

"Li Shao, Li Shao?"

Li Shao, who was pretending to sleep, secretly gritted his teeth in hatred.

Boyi never disturbed his sleep, why did he have to call him tonight?

After being pushed a few times, Li Shao couldn't pretend anymore, so he could only turn around, pretending to be unconscious and looking at his eldest son Boyi.

"Bo Yi? You're back."

The eldest grandson Boyi turned around and sat down beside the bed, and stretched out his hand to support Li Shao: "Why didn't you eat any dinner? What's wrong with you?"

Li Shao was taken aback for a moment, and then secretly scolded himself for being stupid.

Even if he didn't eat the food, Xi Hu should take it away, why did he just leave it there?

"It's nothing," Li Shao smiled. "It's just that I wasn't very hungry at the time. I wanted to eat later, but I fell asleep unexpectedly. Why did you come back so early? Isn't there a New Year's banquet in the palace today?" ?”

"Yes, yes," Changsun Boyi looked at Li Shao with a smile on his eyes, "but I want to spend tonight with you."

The moment he heard this sentence, Li Shao lowered his eyes subconsciously, and only raised the corners of his mouth, as if he was smiling.

Why did you hear this sentence at this time?

……

Although Ao Shan said that Li Zheng would know what he was doing, General Tiance's mansion is full of soldiers under Boyi's command, no matter whether they are loyal or prudent, there is no doubt about it, so... Ao Shan is probably just scaring him Bar?

He lowered his head and "smiled" for a long while before Li Shao raised his head and looked at his elder Sun Boyi with a smile. He opened his mouth and was about to say something when he saw a figure on the window from the corner of his eye. He jumped out of bed after opening the quilt, ran to the window and pushed it open.

A shadow rushed to the distance at an extremely fast speed, and Li Shao only had time to see the last figure of the other person's back before he disappeared.

Li Shao stared in astonishment at the direction in which the man disappeared, his hands tightly clutching the window frame.

Changsun Boyi was so frightened by Li Shao that he woke up, followed to the window and looked out, but saw nothing: "What's wrong?"

"I...I saw someone outside the window." Li Shao turned his head to look at the elder Sun Boyi with a panicked expression.

"Is there someone?" Changsun Boyi frowned, leaned on the window frame and looked out, but still saw nothing, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

After closing the window tightly, Changsun Boyi saw that Li Shao seemed to be frightened, so he took Li Shao's hand and walked to the door of the east wing, opened the door and told the guards outside: "Go around and see if there is any suspicious behavior. People, besides arranging people to patrol inside the mansion tonight, they also ask people to hang out on the streets outside the mansion."

"Yes."

A guard ran away quickly after answering, first went to find Xi Hu, and after passing on Changsun Boyi's instructions to Xi Hu, he went out to patrol according to Xi Hu's arrangement.

Changsun Boyi also closed the door, then turned around, looked down at Li Shao's bare feet, and picked him up.

"Don't worry, Xi Hu and Yu Shi are both in the mansion tonight, and I am too."

He responded indiscriminately, but Li Shao didn't take Changsun Boyi's words into his heart.

The one just now was Ao Shan?No, Ao Shan's speed is not that fast.Who would that be?Is there anyone around Li Zheng who has such outstanding lightness skills?Why doesn't he remember?

Putting Li Shao on the bed, the eldest grandson Boyi pulled the quilt over Li Shao's lap and covered him: "I'll get someone to make some food."

Seeing Li Shao nod his head, Changsun Boyi got up and went to the door again.

Li Shao's uneasy eyes suddenly passed over the small porcelain bottle on the table, stared at it for a while, and finally got out of bed, and put the porcelain bottle into his sleeve.

"Why did you get out of bed again?" Changsun Boyi looked at Li Shao suspiciously.

Li Shao shivered, and turned to look at Sun Boyi: "No, it's nothing, I want to drink water."

"Drink water?" Changsun Boyi strode up to Li Shao, reached out to touch the teapot, "The water is cold."

Saying that, Changsun Boyi went to the door with the teapot again, and when he returned to the inner room, he saw Li Shao still fidgeting, and Changsun Boyi frowned.

Li Shaoben is not a timid person, how could he be so frightened by a figure tonight?

Thinking about it carefully, Changsun Boyi felt something was wrong again.

When he first came, Li Shao's words, deeds and demeanor were slightly different from usual, it seemed that Li Shao was already a little panicked at that moment... Could something have happened?What will happen?Xi Hu didn't tell him anything.

"Li Shao," the eldest grandson Boyi stepped forward and held Li Shao's hand, "Li Shao, what's wrong with you?"

Li Shao looked at his eldest grandson Boyi, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

What should he say?If he told Boyi the truth, then he was betting on Mu Ran's life, but if he cheated Boyi, then... what should he do?

Li Shao's appearance was so abnormal that Changsun Boyi vaguely felt that something serious must have happened, but Li Shao didn't say anything, he couldn't guess what happened at all.

"Don't worry," Changsun Boyi led Li Shao to sit down beside the brazier, and then skillfully ignited the charcoal fire, "No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

There was a soft "pop", as if someone had thrown a stone on the window. Changsun Boyi's eyes froze, and he jumped to the window in an instant, jumped over the window and jumped into the yard.

Looking around, Changsun Boyi didn't even see a figure.

Was something blown up by the wind and knocked on the window?It does not seem……

Changsun Boyi turned around, turned back into the room through the window, and met Li Shao's worried gaze as soon as his feet landed.

Grandson Boyi smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the branches blown by the wind knocked on the window."

But how could Li Shao believe this?He has lived in the east wing for so long, why is it that only today a branch was blown by the wind, and hit the window by such a coincidence?

After this explanation was spoken, Changsun Boyi also felt that Li Shao would not believe it, so after seeing Li Shao's increasingly disturbed expression, Changsun Boyi had no choice but to comfort him: "Sorry, I lied to you, I didn't read anything. Yes. But maybe it’s just a child’s prank, the children are making a fuss at night.”

"Maybe." Li Shao tightened his grip on the porcelain bottle in his hand.

Half an hour later, after the window was hit three times, figures swayed outside the window twice, and the guards saw someone running on the roof once, Changsun Boyi knew that someone was deliberately trying to make things difficult for them tonight.

Looking at Li Shao, who was a bit of a soldier, Changsun Boyi asked softly: "Is it Li Zheng?"

Before Li Zheng took Li Shao away and released him back, he knew that there must be something hidden in it, but he couldn't ask anything from Li Shao, so he could only wait for it, but he didn't expect Li Zheng to choose such a good person. Life, it is rare that after ten years he can finally celebrate the New Year with Li Shao again...

Li Shao lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Changsun Boyi knew he had guessed right.

Taking a sip of the freshly brewed tea, Changsun Boyi asked again: "What does he want you to do?"

Li Shao bit his lips and remained silent.

"Let's talk," Changsun Boyi put down his teacup, "Don't embarrass yourself, isn't there still someone important in Li Zheng's hands?"

Li Shao understands him, and he also understands Li Shao. Li Shao is not as ruthless as he imagined. He still cares about those who treat him well.

Li Shao choked up and couldn't speak, but shook his head desperately.

Elder Sun Boyi had no choice but to look Li Shao from head to toe, then Eldest Sun Boyi moved to Li Shao's side, and reached out to grab the hand that Li Shao had been holding tightly.

"Give me something."

It can make Li Shao in a dilemma, and the person who is pinched by Li Zheng probably has a lot of weight to Li Shao.

Li Shao's hands clenched tighter: "No one is more important than you... No one is more important than you..."

The eldest grandson Boyi was taken aback for a moment, and then he smiled. This smile was like the wind of the moonlight, as if even the sky was a little brighter.

"I know," Changsun Boyi gently took Li Shao's hand, firmly separated Li Shao's five fingers one by one, and took out the porcelain bottle covered with sweat, "Because I know, I can't even look at you Dilemma. But can you tell me who my rival is this time?"

There must not be many people who can compete with Li Shao in his heart, right?If it is too much, then he will be so sad that he will cry.

"It's Muran." As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Shao couldn't hold back his tears.

"Mu Ran?" Eldest Sun Boyi thought about it carefully, "Ah, it's Sister Li's son. Li Zheng also used Mu Ran's life to threaten you to leave the Tiance Admiral's Mansion before?"

If that's the case, it makes sense, if it's Sister Li's son, then of course it can become Li Shao's weakness.

In the past ten years, too many people died in vain because of their immaturity and lack of power. Li Shao didn't say anything, but he must be suffering in his heart. For the families of these people who died in vain, Li Shao will definitely protect them with all his strength, let alone Mu Ran or Li. sister's son.

The eldest grandson Boyi held the porcelain vase in front of his eyes, and looked at it with interest: "Li Zheng wants me to die?"

Li Shao shook his head: "It's my fault...it's all my fault...I shouldn't come back...I shouldn't come back here..."

The eldest grandson Boyi touched Li Shao's head with pity, and said with some joy, "Because I am younger than you, you never cried in front of me before. Now I seem to have grown up."

Saying that, Changsun Boyi was about to open that little porcelain bottle.

"No!" Li Shao rushed forward and held down the hand of Changsun Boyi, "No...absolutely not! I will go to Li Zheng, and I will go to Li Zheng now!"

The eldest grandson Boyi took advantage of the situation and hugged Li Shao, which prevented Li Shao from rushing out the door.

"If you could find it, you would have found it long ago, wouldn't you? But Yongning didn't find it, I didn't find it, and you didn't find it either. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so don't be in a hurry." The eldest grandson Boyi patted Li Shao's back lightly. Back, "Sister Li also has kindness to me. Even if you want to, I can't risk her son's life. Fortunately, you told me."

Li Shao fell into the arms of eldest grandson Boyi, weeping uncontrollably.

Weighing the small porcelain bottle, Changsun Boyi was not stupid enough to drink it in one gulp, so he uncorked the bottle, and Changsun Boyi only dropped a drop into the teacup.

Li Zheng's people must be a master if they can make a fuss back and forth in his Tiance Admiral's mansion, but if they are acting, they may not be able to hide it. He has to drink a little, and he has to show the medicinal properties to be convincing. .

Pressing Li Shao's head on his chest to prevent Li Shao from raising his head, Changsun Boyi picked up the teacup and drank the tea inside.

Hearing a slight "gudong" sound from above his head, Li Shao's heart was hanging high.

"Bo Yi? Boyi, are you okay?"

The place where the tea flowed felt a little sore, and Changsun Boyi frowned slightly, and his hand on the back of Li Shao's head remained firm: "It's okay."

"Nothing?" How could it be nothing! "Bo Yi, let go, let me go."

"It's really okay," Changsun Boyi hugged Li Shao with the other hand, "Let me hold you."

The more Changsun Boyi was like this, the more flustered Li Shao was.

"Bo Yi, Boyi, let go...Xi Hu! Xi Hu!"

The pain intensified, and Changsun Boyi's forehead was already sweating: "Don't call other men's names in my arms."

"Xi Hu! Xi Hu, come in so fucking fast!"

Hearing Li Shao scolding his mother, Changsun Boyi couldn't help laughing.

Li Shao seldom swears at mothers, either because he was out of breath or out of his mind. Including this time, he only heard it four times.

The guard outside the door opened the door of the east wing suspiciously after hearing the movement: "General? Are you looking for Xi Hu?"

"Prince doctor! Go get the doctor!" Li Shao yelled in the arms of the elder Sun Boyi.

The guard was taken aback, and hurriedly instructed his companions outside to find Xi Hu and Lu Qiumao respectively, while he himself ran into the inner room quickly.

When he got close, the guard saw that Changsun Boyi's expression was wrong: "General, what's wrong with you, General?"

"It's okay." Changsun Boyi's voice became unsteady, and he couldn't exert enough strength to press Li Shao's hand.

Li Shao took the opportunity to break free, and looked at the eldest grandson Boyi in a panic: "Bo Yi, where does it hurt? What do you feel uncomfortable about?"

"My heart hurts," Changsun Boyi raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Li Shao's face, "It hurts me to make you cry."

Hearing this, Li Shao cried even harder.

Not long after, Xi Hu and Yu Shi, who were notified, rushed into the East Wing. Seeing that the eldest Sun Boyi was pale, and Li Shao was crying like he was about to die, the two of them were stunned immediately, and they could only move around in a hurry. The eldest grandson Boyi carried him to the bed.

Waiting for another quarter of an hour, Lu Qiumao also came. Seeing that it was the elder Sun Boyi who fell down this time, Lu Qiumao was also very surprised. Fortunately, the poison was not a fatal poison, and it was not difficult to cure, but it was painful. If you can't survive, you can't die, but Changsun Boyi didn't drink much, so there is no serious problem.

After detoxifying the elder Sun Boyi, Lu Qiumao left.

Li Shao sat by the bed, stopped crying, but kept his head down and said nothing, making his expression hard to see.

The eldest grandson Boyi was still awake, but a little tired. He stared at Li Shao, then raised his hand to touch Li Shao's cheek.

"What's the matter? Didn't the doctor Lu say it's all right?"

"En." Li Shao also raised his hand, holding the hand of Changsun Boyi.

"That..." Xi Hu wanted to ask what happened, but felt that the atmosphere made it difficult for people to ask.

Yu Shi kicked Xi Hu, then dragged Xi Hu out by his sleeve.

Why is this idiot Xihu so blind?Can you ask me later if you have something to say?

Without even looking at Xi Hu and Yu Shi, the eldest grandson Boyi said to Li Shao again: "It's just that it can keep Muran safe, isn't it very cost-effective?"

"Well," Li Shao finally raised his head to look at the elder Sun Boyi, and smiled softly, "Go to sleep, I will watch over you tonight."

Changsun Boyi patted the place beside him and said, "You accompany me and sleep here."

Li Shao was taken aback for a moment, then climbed onto the bed and lay beside his eldest son Boyi.

Li Shao was physically weak and was already tired easily, and he had been exhausting his mind and body today, and he was already exhausted, while Chang Sun Boyi hadn't had a good night's sleep for more than a month, and he was extremely tired after being tortured by this poison, so the two of them He fell asleep as soon as he lay down, and slept until noon the next day.

After having lunch with Li Shao, the eldest grandson Boyi went to the Tao Mansion to look for Tao Wujing.

In the Tao Mansion, Tao Wujing, who had not yet recovered from his serious injuries, was lying comfortably in the sun on a deck chair. When he saw Zhang Sun Boyi, he couldn't help laughing at Zhang Sun Boyi first.

"I heard you were poisoned? Tsk tsk tsk, it's so big, there are only two people in the room, how can you be poisoned? This is really weird."

Was it the prince who poisoned him?

Sitting next to Tao Wujing, eldest grandson Boyi said indifferently, "I drank the poison myself. I didn't come to you today to argue."

Tao Wujing rolled his eyes at eldest Sun Boyi, and said, "Look at me, I can't even walk, and my whole body is full of sharp tongues. Why are you here if you don't argue with me?"

"I don't need you, I just want your subordinates." Changsun Boyi unceremoniously expressed his dislike for Tao Wujing.

"You!" Tao Wujing glared at eldest Sun Boyi angrily, "What do you want my people to do?"

Changsun Boyi said solemnly: "Among the three armies, your subordinates are the best at tracking. I want to find Li Zheng."

"Looking for Li Zheng?" Tao Wujing sneered, "I still want to find Li Zheng! As soon as I entered Chang'an, I sent him out to look for him, but I haven't found him yet."

"Can't even find your people?" Zhang Sun Boyi looked surprised.

Tao Wujing sighed and said, "My subordinates have caught their tails before, but every time they told them to run away. Li Zheng is a mediocre person, but that guy didn't know when he used a trick, and there were people gathered around him. There are quite a few capable people, but unfortunately it is said that their minds are crooked. This is probably the so-called flocking of birds of a feather."

Changsun Boyi narrowed his eyes: "If even your subordinates can't catch him, then how can we catch him?"

"Lead him out," Tao Wujing said without hesitation, "Isn't there a ready-made bait in your house?"

"He's not a bait." Changsun Boyi stared at Tao Wujing coldly.

Tao Wujing shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "It's not that he is going to die, what are you afraid of? I originally thought that Li Zheng would not care about his brother's life or death, but since Li Zheng had contact with his brother once, he must have something to do with it." Please use his younger brother as bait at this time, it will probably work!"

"His name is Li Shao." Changsun Boyi stared at Tao Wujing dissatisfied.

"I don't care what he's called!" Tao Wujing deliberately quarreled with Zhangsun Boyi, "You can either use him as bait, or just sit and wait for Li Zheng to run out when he is happy, there is no other way!"

"I came to you because there was no other way, or would I keep you wasting food?"

Tao Wujing was choked by the elder Sun Boyi's words and stared: "Your mouth is getting sharper and sharper!"

Changsun Boyi snorted coldly: "Divide people."

Why did Tao Wujing keep choking on him in a strange way, and he was not allowed to talk back?
