Daily life of captives

Li Shao and Huan Zhi had a good time together, so when the northern tour team stopped to rest at noon, Li Shao didn't go to look for Zhang Sun Boyi, but ran away with Huan Zhi, causing Zhang Sun Boyi to find him He couldn't find it for a long time, and later found that Huanzhi, Wei Ze, and Wei Feng were all missing, so Changsun Boyi simply stopped looking, and stayed beside Liu Ce with Xie Jun in a sullen manner, chatting about meaningless topics.

Sitting on a tree not far from the brigade, Huan Zhi propped his hands between the branches and said to Li Shao in a low voice: "My lord, except for Wei Ze and Wei Feng, everyone around us was arranged by General Changsun. Protect yours?"

Li Shao leaned against the tree trunk and sat among the branches, and said with a smile: "How is it possible. Boyi only has soldiers in his hands, and so far there are no hidden guards, so the people who have arranged to protect me during this trip are all on the bright side."

Huan Zhi understood it, sighed exaggeratedly, and said, "No matter where you go, you can attract demons and monsters...Young master is not the kind of fairy fruit that has become a spirit mentioned in the Sutra of Gods, right? As long as you eat it, you will be Can you live forever and become a fairy? Otherwise, why do people always want to harm the young master?"

"I don't know, Qingyu, do you want to try?" Li Shao stretched his arms towards Huanzhi.

Huanzhi shook his head vigorously, and said, "I don't dare, I'm not sure if I can become immortal, but if I dare to take a bite, then General Changsun will send me to the Palace of the King of Hell."

Li Shao laughed lowly.

Secretly observing the accompanying officials on this northern tour, Huan Zhi asked Li Shao, "How many people has that Wei Ning recruited now?"

Li Shao said indifferently: "Not many, the young Majesty, General Huaihua who has no real power, the rogue-eyed minister of the Ministry of officials, and some diehards who unconditionally defend His Majesty just by using the word 'loyalty'."

Wei Ning also didn't have the ability to win over truly capable, powerful and upright people in such a short period of time. His only hope was probably those pedantic people who were "loyal to the emperor".

Huan Zhi frowned: "Those stubborn people are not easy to deal with, right?"

"What's not to deal with?" Li Shao sneered, "Since ancient times, if they are kings and losers, if they have the ability, they will try their best to save Liu Ce's life. If they win, they will leave their names in history. Back then, the Taiwei and Taifu resigned like that and went away, out of sight and out of mind, but while shouting loyalty to the emperor and angrily accusing others of infidelity, they still relied on the court to assist the disloyal people they said, and issued Their salaries still have to be scolded by them, why? Later Chu has never been short of people, and they were chosen at first just to use their rich experience to stabilize the court as soon as possible. Now all the government offices are on the right track. It’s okay without one or two people.”

"As expected of you son, except for General Changsun, you are so cruel to everyone. I really appreciate that you can kick people away without any guilt after using them." As he said, Huan Zhi turned to Li Shao Thumbs up.

Li Shao glanced sideways, and said, "Qingyu doesn't have to tease me, you and I are the same kind of people."

They are also tragic people, who feel ashamed after experiencing the warmth and coldness of the world, but they are also the lucky ones, and they have to treat each other sincerely so that they will not become walking dead.

After hearing Li Shao's words, Huan Zhi shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "That's not all I learned from the young master."

Li Shao laughed and said, "That's because you are not strong-minded."

After giving Li Shao a blank look, Huan Zhi snorted coldly.

Sitting on the tree, he explained the current situation in detail to Huan Zhi who was wandering on the edge of the court hall, and Li Shao and Huan Zhi sneaked down the tree together.

After returning to Mrs. Xie's side and chatting for a few words, Li Shao and Huan Zhi began to dangle in the eyes of everyone again. From the beginning to the end, Li Shao and Huan Zhi were together, and under Wei Ning's surveillance, Changsun Boyi and Xie Jun also stayed with Wei Ning all the time, but the deputy general of the Habayashi Army who was bought by Wei Ning died unfortunately. Judging from the wound, his throat was sealed with a knife, and all the belongings of the deputy general were lost. See It seemed that he had encountered a vicious bandit.

But before choosing this resting place, the Habayashi Army searched the place inch by inch, and after confirming that there was no danger, they arranged for Liu Ce to rest here, and the accompanying [-] Habayashi Army surrounded him. How can a vicious bandit sneak in here if the fence is guarded a little farther away?Unless this so-called bandit was in the Habayashi Army from the very beginning...

Looking at the calm grandson Boyi and Li Shao who seemed to have nothing to do with himself, Wei Ning's eyes were slightly cold.

No one was sent to hunt down the so-called bandit, Changsun Boyi packed up and left this place hastily on the grounds of protecting Liu Ce.

Wei Ning thought this was just the beginning, before they reached the destination Yunzhou, the people he ambushed in the Habayashi Army would die one after another, but unexpectedly, the next half month was calm, let alone dead, Not even a single one was injured, so they arrived in Yunzhou without incident.

Although Li Zheng is a tyrant, he never misses the four patrols a year. After all, there are not many opportunities to play around with great fanfare.Therefore, the palaces built by Li Zheng in various places are also extremely gorgeous, and although the one built on the outskirts of Yunzhou is not as exquisite as the small bridges, flowing water, flowers and leaves, it takes advantage of Yunzhou's vast land and sparse population, and is the largest among the palaces. The first one, with blue bricks and red tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, is majestic and majestic everywhere.

In front of the gate of the palace, all the officials of the Yunzhou state capital and the generals of the Yunzhou garrison were greeted. There were many people who came, and there might not be many people who spoke, especially when Tao Wujing took the lead to greet him. , others have no chance to speak.

When he saw Zhangsun Boyi and Zhang Wei, Tao Wujing's eyes turned red. Before he could say anything, he first hugged Zhang Wei, and then let go of Zhang Wei to hug Zhangsun Boyi. Don't let go.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon!" Tao Wujing slapped Changsun Boyi on the back twice, then let him go, and looked at Changsun Boyi with a smile, "Sure enough, the place in Chang'an Raising people, look at you are fat."

Hearing this, the smile on Changsun Boyi's face disappeared in an instant, but he still politely said to Tao Wujing: "You made Uncle Wu suffer."

He patted Changsun Boyi on the shoulder again, and Tao Wujing didn't give the local officials a chance to flatter him, so he took Changsun Boyi's shoulders and walked into the palace: "Why did it take half a month to arrive? You just ran along the way Where did you travel around?"

Tao Wujing saw his relatives informally, but the rest of the officials looked at Liu Ce who was left in place with a dark face, and all of them were so frightened that their hands and feet began to tremble.

Your Majesty is still here, why did King Cangyun grab someone else and leave?

Yunzhou State Shepherd swallowed his saliva, and said to Liu Ce tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty must be extremely tired from the journey. The bedroom in the palace has been tidied up. Your Majesty can rest in peace."

"Huh!" With a heavy snort, Liu Ce strode into the palace, saw the elder Sun Boyi and Tao Wujing who had already sat down and chatted, and walked over angrily, "Tao Wujing, you have been in Yunzhou for a long time , don’t you even remember who is the master of Hou Chu?”

Suddenly being scolded, Tao Wujing was also dumbfounded. He turned his head to look at Liu Ce, and then looked at Zhang Wei beside Liu Ce with doubts.

What's wrong with Liu Ce?

However, Zhang Wei obviously maintained the same position as Liu Ce, and said to Changsun Boyi earnestly, "General Changsun's joy at seeing his old friend will be understandable at the end, but in front of Your Majesty, has General Changsun gone too far?"

The people who followed Liu Ce and walked into the palace were once again caught in a dilemma. They could only freeze in embarrassment, hanging their heads and pretending that they did not exist.

Tao Wujing was taken aback for a moment, then turned back to look at the eldest grandson Boyi with a calm face, after pondering for a while, Tao Wujing suddenly stood up, walked up to Liu Ce and knelt down and bowed: "Cangyun King Tao Wu respects His Majesty. , I was rude and offended His Majesty earlier, please Your Majesty forgive me."

It has been almost a year since he left Chang'an, why hasn't the conflict between Zhang Wei and the eldest grandson been resolved?And why even Liu Ce got involved?

Liu Ce tilted his head and exchanged glances with Zhang Wei, and then said softly, "King Cangyun, please stand up. It's not the fault of King Cangyun, you don't understand the rules, and you have stayed in this desolate place of Yunzhou for so long, you will It's understandable to be negligent, but General Changsun... Changsun, did I treat you too leniently?"

Hearing this, Tao Wujing frowned.

Who doesn't know the rules?He made it sound like a vulgar and reckless man, but he knows a lot more than Zhang Wei!And what does it mean to be too tolerant to the eldest grandson?If there is no eldest grandson, Liu Ce can become the emperor?Some squandered, he squandered honestly, what is he trying to do?

Changsun Boyi sneered in his heart, didn't say anything, just turned his eyes slightly, and looked at Liu Ce coldly.

Liu Ce's heart skipped a beat, his original composure and arrogance disappeared in an instant, and his eyes drifted around anxiously.

With a cold snort, Changsun Boyi said coldly: "Your Majesty is exhausted from traveling and traveling, it's time to go to rest, what does General Zhang think?"

Before Zhang Wei could open his mouth, Liu Ce gave in. "Hey, what the eldest grandson said makes sense. I'm going to die of exhaustion. Where's the guide? Why is there no one to guide the way? Where is my bedroom?"

Yunzhou State Shepherd immediately ran up and led Liu Ce with a flattering smile.

Glancing at Changsun Boyi, Liu Ce fled in despair.

Zhang Wei looked like he hated iron for being weak, but now he had to rely on Liu Ce to speak. If Liu Ce had already stated his position, then he could not refute it.

Seeing that Zhang Wei hadn't left yet, Changsun Boyi said in a cold voice: "General Zhang still hasn't left? General Zhang has nothing else to do on this trip. The only task is to protect His Majesty's safety. Don't become an eternity because of a momentary carelessness." sinner."

Zhang Wei gritted his teeth and bowed to Changsun Boyi: "General Changsun has taught you well, and he will never forget it."

When the words fell, Zhang Wei also left.

Only then did Changsun Boyi look at the accompanying officials who were frozen and dare not move: "My lords have worked hard, go to rest, and if necessary, send someone to inform me."

Everyone immediately nodded and bowed to express their gratitude to Zhangsun Boyi, and then left in a hurry.

Li Shao and Mrs. Xie and Huan Zhi walked at the end of the crowd. Originally, they didn't intend to disturb Changsun Boyi and the others. Li Shao didn't have anything special to say to Changsun Boyi, but Xie Jun who was standing next to Changsun Boyi was very considerate. Renyi, upon seeing Li Shao, smiled and called Mrs. Xie to her side.

"Ruiyan, come here."

Mrs. Xie was taken aback for a moment, and after a glance with Xie Jun, she knew that Xie Jun was doing "good deeds" again, so she deliberately led Huan Zhi and Li Shao to the eldest sun Boyi and the others.

Standing still, he relieved his wife's blessings: "My wife has seen General Changsun and King Cangyun."

Huan Zhi and Li Shao made a bow in troubled waters, but they didn't make a sound.

"Madam sister-in-law is free." Putting away his fierce appearance, when facing Mrs. Xie, eldest grandson Boyi was always a little cautious.

Xie Jun smiled and introduced to Tao Wujing: "My son, the eldest grandson's fiancé, this fifth uncle should still remember, so I won't say more, but this should be the first time that my wife and brother-in-law Huanzhi and fifth uncle have met. When my younger brother was young, he inherited his father's noble title and was granted the title of Marquis of Jinyang. His fief is very close to Fifth Uncle's place, so he will need Fifth Uncle to take care of him in the future."

"Jinyang? It's quite close to here, don't worry, come to Yunzhou to find me if you need anything." Tao Wujing said this to Xie Jun, but his eyes kept staring at the people who had gathered together. Eldest Sun Boyi and Li Shao, who were biting their ears, "Young master is also coming to the north?"

Li Shao, who was picked up, looked up at Tao Wujing, and smiled calmly: "Bo Yi is busy on weekdays, so he doesn't have the opportunity to go out with me. Fortunately, he can bring his family with him during the northern tour, so I will follow."

"Family?" Tao Wujing was stunned, "Family..."

Without further explanation, Li Shao turned to say: "We won't bother you to reminisce about the old days, I will send someone to the back kitchen and ask them to bring some food and drinks over."

After saying this, Li Shao was about to pull away, but the elder Sun Boyi suddenly grabbed Li Shao's wrist and pulled it. Unprepared, Li Shao's footsteps were messy, and he tripped over the elder Sun Boyi's foot and sat down On the lap of eldest grandson Boyi.

"Be careful!" Changsun Boyi hurriedly put his arms around Li Shao's waist and pulled him into his arms, for fear that Li Shao would slip to the ground again.

The four people next to him were all stunned, staring at Changsun Boyi and Li Shao in a daze.

Li Shao also stared blankly at Changsun Boyi, his face flushed suddenly, he slapped Changsun Boyi's hand away and stood up, taking two steps away from Changsun Boyi.

"What's wrong? What do you want to say?" Li Shao lowered his eyes and looked at the ground.

"Cough," looking at the teasing gazes of the four people, Eldest Sun Boyi also felt a little unnatural, "It's nothing, let Wei Ze and the others do something if you have anything to do, you should take a good rest."

He originally wanted to secretly tell Saburo to look around first, especially to be careful of the people Wei Ning arranged around their residence, but with such a fuss, it seemed that he had missed the opportunity to tell Saburo.

"Understood." Li Shao had already walked out of the room before he finished speaking.

Mrs. Xie blessed her body, and followed Li Shao together with Huan Zhi holding back a smile.

Xie Jun bumped into eldest grandson Boyi, and teased, "Eldest grandson, don't you just go to pull the young master just to give him a hug?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Changsun Boyi gave Xie Jun a look.

"Why am I talking nonsense?" Jie Jun smiled even brighter, "You have been protecting His Majesty for half a month, but you don't have much time with your son. I wish I could dig out my eyeballs and stick them on Young Master, now I finally arrived at the place, and there are no outsiders around, how can I be worthy of myself if I don’t hug him to relieve my greed?"

The eldest grandson Boyi gave Xie Jun a big roll of his eyes, and was too lazy to speak.

Tao Wujing opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he swallowed back what he was going to say, and asked his eldest grandson Boyi with a smile, "When do you plan to marry the young master? Don't tell me what's happening now. That's fine."

The young master can say the word "family" so calmly, and the young master also intervened when the eldest grandson confronted Liu Ce just now, which shows that the young master really intends to only be the man behind the eldest grandson. I would never tell others so frankly that I am another man's family member. I always feel that the word "family member" refers to myself as a woman, and the son is talented, but he is willing to stay with his eldest grandson and do nothing. At this level, what else can he say?

Reunited today, seeing his eldest grandson and young master again, he is a little envious of his eldest grandson, how lucky is his eldest grandson to be favored by God, to have such a person who is willing to return to the ordinary for him.

As soon as the marriage was mentioned, Changsun Boyi had a smile on his face again: "If there is no accident, it is planned to be arranged in the fall of next year. When I don't need to spend so much time on government affairs, I want to organize the wedding myself. "

Tao Wujing looked at the affectionate and gentle elder Sun Boyi in admiration: "I have known you for so many years, I never thought I would see such a gentle look on your face."

The eldest grandson has also changed a lot.

The eldest grandson Boyi lowered his eyes, and Li Shao's low brow and slight smile appeared in front of his eyes again: "I didn't think about it either."

"That's good, so that you can look like a person," Tao Wujing stood up, "Didn't the young master say that you want the kitchen to deliver food and drinks? Let's change places and have a good chat."

"Okay." Changsun Boyi and Xie Jun also stood up and walked together to a place in the palace where no one would disturb them.

And Li Shao, who left first, naturally couldn't escape the fate of being teased, Huan Zhi didn't speak, just smiled jokingly, and followed Li Shao to stare at Li Shao's red face fiercely.

Li Shao deliberately pretended to be calm, but the heat on his face could not be subsided, no matter how serious his expression was, it was useless.

Mrs. Xie finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she pulled Huan Zhi back to her side: "Don't be rude to the young master."

Huanzhi said innocently: "I just find it amazing that the young master is still blushing? He is the young master, that young master! I must engrave this once-in-a-lifetime scene in my mind."

This is a very indifferent son who doesn't blush no matter whether he wants to plot people or kill people, but he blush just after being hugged by his own man?He thought the young master would take advantage of the situation to tease General Zhangsun, but the young master blushed?This is incredible!

"Spoken nonsense!" Mrs. Xie poked Huanzhi on the head, "When you have someone you love, you will do the same."

Huan Zhi smiled foolishly.

After sending Mrs. Xie and Huan Zhi to the courtyard where they lived, Li Shao's complexion finally returned to normal. If Huan Zhi hadn't been talking all the time, Li Shao's complexion might have recovered faster.

Turning around and walking towards his and Changsun Boyi's residence under the guidance of the palace maid, Li Shao was secretly observing the layout of the palace all the way, but everything he passed was no different from ordinary pavilions and palaces. Shao was somewhat puzzled.

Li Zheng is a cautious person, the palace is no safer than the Chang'an Palace, he should consider from the perspective of military defense, and build some abnormal but safe places in this palace, but after walking for a long time, Li Shao did not find anything unreasonable place.

Could it be that Li Zheng dug a secret passage again?

Full of doubts, Li Shao arrived at the residence, ate dinner alone, and when it got dark, he changed into black clothes and went out, turned into a small road and saw no one around, so he jumped up to the roof.

Wei Ze and Wei Feng jumped up to the roof, and when they stood up high, what the master and servant saw was completely different from what they saw on the ground.

Li Shao looked around, then pointed to the tallest building in the palace, Wei Ze and Wei Feng agreed, and jumped onto the roof of that place together with Li Shao.

Although the sky was already dark, the lights ignited throughout the palace outlined the layout of the palace, and standing on the highest roof, the outline became even clearer.

"This is... a narrow passage? No wonder the courtyard walls in this palace are built higher than the Miyagi of the imperial palace. It turns out that there are passages between adjacent courtyards." Looking at the maze-like palace, Wei Ze was amazed endlessly.

Wei Feng frowned, his eyes zigzag along the aisle, his eyes were dazzled but he couldn't find the entrance and exit of the aisle.

In this palace, as long as there is a wall, there are lanes, but not every lane has an entrance and exit. Some are simply short dead ends blocked at both ends, and in some places, several lanes are connected end to end to form a clear direction. The passage, and there are also forks formed by several passages intersecting with each other, which are extremely complicated.

Rubbing his eyes, Wei Feng asked Li Shao, "My lord, do you want to check?"

Just as Wei Feng finished speaking, another person jumped over and landed on the roof.

"My lord," Huan Zhi said solemnly, "Li Zheng really built a place suitable for killing people."

As long as you figure out the direction of these lanes, it's easy to kill someone in a certain yard quietly.

"This lane should be used by Li Zheng to hide his soldiers," Li Shao kept looking around, "Unless every entrance and exit is blocked to prevent anyone from entering, otherwise it will be useless to figure out the direction of these lanes. After tonight, everyone who should know about the existence of the Lane will know, but there is no telling when they will let people in."

Although it is hard to guard against, it is true that you can use this lane to kill people.

"Then just leave it like this?" Huan Zhi's face became even more ugly, "Do you want to let people sleep at night? How about asking the Habayashi Army to guard the entrance?"

"Habayashi Army..." Li Shao narrowed his eyes, "Weize, how many people did we bring?"

Everyone knows the number of Habayashi soldiers accompanying him. Once there are fewer people, it is easy to be noticed. In order to avoid unnecessary panic, he should use his own people.

"If you go back to Young Master, there will only be ten people accompanying you, but there are still some people lurking in Yunzhou. Do you want to call them all?"

"No hurry, call again tomorrow, and find the entrance and exit first tonight." Looking down at the huge palace, Li Shao felt a headache.
