Daily life of captives

Taking Liu Ce's bedroom as the center, Li Shao divided the whole palace into four parts. Huan Zhi, Wei Ze, and Wei Feng each took paper and carbon strips from the kitchen, and then jumped from the roof to the wall. Walk quickly along the direction of the lane, and draw the shape of the lane on the paper every time you walk a section, emphatically marking the entrance and exit of the lane.

After another complicated passage, Li Shao sat cross-legged on the top of the wall, using the moonlight to draw the last passage in this area with difficulty, and jumped off the wall after painting.

"Who?!" A yell made Li Shao startled, and when he turned his head, he saw Changsun Boyi, Xie Jun and Tao Wujing coming out from the other side of the wall.

Li Shao looked at where the three came from, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where did you go to drink?"

How did it come out of this road?

The eldest grandson Boyi looked up at the wall on one side, and replied to Li Shao, "I went to a remote courtyard."

Taking two steps closer, Changsun Boyi suddenly noticed that Li Shao's face was dirty, with black charcoal dust everywhere, especially his chin and forehead, which were almost wiped away from their original color.

"What did you do?" Changsun Boyi asked while wiping Li Shao's face with his sleeve, only to find that the more he rubbed, the more stained it became.

"What? What's the matter?" Li Shao didn't know what his face had become, so he just let his eldest grandson Boyi wipe it.

Xie Jun and Tao Wujing had also walked up to the elder Sun Boyi. They wanted to say something polite to Li Shao, but when they saw Li Shao's face clearly, the two of them were speechless. Will laugh out loud.

Noticing the subtle expressions of the three people in front of him, Li Shao raised his hand and touched his face: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my face?"

As a result, when Li Shao touched it, the charcoal dust in his hand rubbed onto his face again.

Grandson Boyi grabbed Li Shao's hand dumbfoundingly: "What the hell did you do? How come your hands are black?"

Only then did Li Shao take a closer look at his hands, and he knew where the problem was.

The carbon sticks used earlier were taken directly from the kitchen. He and Huanzhi didn't even think to wrap the carbon sticks, so they just grabbed them with their hands, and ended up rubbing their hands with charcoal dust. Unconsciously, it was rubbed on the face.

Li Shao looked at his dark hands, and then imagined his painted face, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Forget it, anyway, it's dark and I can't see clearly, just go back to the residence and wash up later."

Tao Wujing coughed and suppressed his smile, and said: "I think it's better for you not to walk around like this, there is a pond not far from here, and the water in the pond is changed only to welcome you." Yes, son, let's make do with it."

"Please ask Uncle Wu to lead the way." Before Li Shao could answer, the eldest grandson Boyi took Li Shao's hand and followed behind Tao Wujing.

Seeing Li Shao's disfigured face, Xie Jun teased, "How did the young master make himself look like this? We just borrowed the eldest grandson for a while, why should the young master bother himself so much?"

Li Shao thought about it carefully, and said: "I'll talk about this later, I have to trouble Uncle Wu and Mr. Xie to go to our residence again."

Hearing this, Tao Wujing and Xie Jun looked at each other.Tao Wujing didn't quite understand Li Shao's implication, but Xie Jun knew it very well, so he gave Tao Wujing a wink, implying that Li Shao probably had something important to say.

After finding the pond that Tao Wujing mentioned, Changsun Boyi took Li Shao and sat down by the pond. None of the four big men had the habit of wearing handkerchiefs, so Changsun Boyi could only wear a handkerchief on his sleeves. , wiped Li Shao's face with water.

"I'll do it myself." Seeing Xie Jun and Tao Wujing who were sitting on the side watching with gusto, Li Shao raised his hand, wanting to take Changsun Boyi's hand away, but suddenly remembered that he also had charcoal dust on his hands.

"Don't move your hands, it will be fine in a while." Changsun Boyi raised Li Shao's face, looked at it according to the moonlight, and then continued to wipe.

Li Shao curled his lips, turned his eyes to Tao Wujing, and asked, "Has Fifth Uncle been to the palace before?"

Tao Wujing shook his head: "No, this place is also a place for the royal family, how can we enter casually? The person in charge of cleaning up the palace and preparing for the drive is also the prefect of Yunzhou. I have only seen the blueprint of the palace, and it is the first time I have come here today. .”

"The blueprint?" Li Shao subconsciously turned his head to look at Tao Wujing, but he was pulled back by Elder Sun Boyi, "What kind of blueprint is it?"

Tao Wujing was a little puzzled by Li Shao's question: "It's just a common blueprint. What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this palace?"

"Well..." Li Shao thought about it seriously, "I can't say it's wrong, but it's very interesting."

When Changsun Boyi finally wiped Li Shao's face clean and asked Li Shao to wash his hands, the four of them went to the residence of Changsun Boyi and Li Shao. When they arrived, there were only Wei Ze and Wei Feng in the yard. people.

"Young Master, General, Lord Xie, King Cangyun." Seeing the two extra people following, Wei Ze and Wei Feng were taken aback for a moment, and then saluted respectfully, "Your Excellency, Marquis of Jinyang Worried about Mrs. Xie's safety, I went back first, this is the blueprint drawn by the Marquis of Jinyang."

With that said, Wei Ze handed over the road map drawn by Huan Zhi to Li Shao.

"He should have gone back earlier." Li Shao took the piece of paper, held it in front of his eyes, and immediately twitched the corners of his mouth, "Is this drawn by... Qingyu?"

Wei Feng looked up at the sky, while Wei Ze suppressed a smile and said, "Young Master Hui, it is indeed from the hands of the Marquis of Jinyang."

"Tsk tsk tsk," Li Shao turned around and handed Huanzhi's drawing to Xie Jun, "Give Qingyu a painting teacher, look at the paper full of earthworms he drew."

Fortunately, Qingyu was only asked to draw a sidewalk. If he was asked to draw something else, would he still be able to see it?

Jie Jun took the drawing and looked at it upside down for a while, then asked doubtfully, "What is this drawing? Secret way?"

Li Shao raised his eyebrows: "As expected of a family, you have seen it out. It's not convenient to go into details here, so go and sit inside."

"it is good."

After a group of people entered the room, Li Shao put the four pictures together, stared at them for a while, and Li Shao pushed all four pictures to Wei Ze.

"Weize, copy it on a piece of paper." Qing Yu's picture of an earthworm is not pleasing to the eye.

"Yes," Wei Ze smiled and took the four pictures away. With Wei Feng's assistance, he re-drawn the roads of the palace and the small gardens between the roads before returning to Li Shao Beside him, "My lord, here it is."

Seeing Wei Ze's delicate and exquisite painting style, Li Shao finally felt at ease.

"This is the complete drawing of the palace. There are passages between all the courtyard walls."

The eldest grandson Boyi and the three of them leaned forward to take a look, and their first reaction was to feel dazzled, but when they took a closer look, they saw the mystery hidden in the palace.

"Wonderful!" Xie Jun clapped his palms and exclaimed, "This narrow road has both life and death, false and real. It can be used to hide soldiers and kill people, and it can also be used as a secret way to escape. It's really wonderful!"

Tao Wujing scolded his mother and complained: "Li Zheng's grandson dug a maze-like tunnel underground in Chang'an City, and when he came to Yunzhou, he designed such a tunnel on the ground. He shouldn't be able to go anywhere. You have to make such troublesome things to be at ease, right?"

"That's for sure," Li Shao smiled, "He has done so many things that harm the interests of the people, and there are many people who would risk their lives to kill him, and the reason why he lived for so long is that Because there is a sturdy personal guard army, and secondly, there is a master who designs secret passages by his side."

Rolling his eyes, Xie Jun frowned and asked, "The young master is afraid that Wei Ning will take advantage of this narrow lane?"

Li Shao nodded: "I'm not sure if Wei Ning knows about the existence of the lane, but the people he arranged to spy on me will definitely find out that Wei Ning and Zhang Wei will know about the existence of the lane at the latest."

"Maybe we don't have to wait until tomorrow morning..." Jie Jun's face suddenly darkened, "Forgive me, I'm going back first."

Without waiting for elder Sun Boyi and Li Shao to answer, Xie Jun got up and ran away.

Ruiyan and Qingyu didn't know that there was danger in this palace, so he had to go back and make arrangements.

Seeing this, Changsun Boyi shouted at Xie Jun's back: "If you are short of manpower, call the Yulin Army!"

Xie Jun didn't turn his head back, he just waved his hand to show that he heard, and then rushed away.

Tao Wujing looked at the newly drawn drawings and pondered for a while, then sighed and said, "Then I will also send more people to protect His Majesty."

Changsun Boyi and Li Shao were stunned at the same time, and they glanced at Tao Wujing together, and then Changsun Boyi said in a deep voice, "That's fine, Uncle Wu, who worked hard."

Tao Wujing suddenly came back to his senses, and secretly scolded himself for being so stupid.

Seeing Tao Wujing's embarrassment on his face, Eldest Sun Boyi said again: "It's getting late, Uncle Wu should go back and have a rest. I know what's going on between the streets, so Uncle Wu shouldn't make too much noise."

"I see," Tao Wujing stood up helplessly, and bowed to his grandson Boyi and Li Shao, "Then I'll go. I also lived in the palace during your stay in Yunzhou. Send someone to find me."

"Well," eldest grandson Boyi nodded, "I won't be polite to Uncle Fifth."

Only then did Tao Wujing leave quickly.

After everyone left, Changsun Boyi stretched out his hand and hugged Li Shao into his arms: "Thank you for your hard work."

Li Shao lay directly on the eldest grandson Boyi's lap, and said softly: "This is also for the safety of my own people, not to mention that it's just the wind blowing on the wall in the middle of the night. Looking down from above, it's easy to see the direction of the road. Fee God."

Holding Li Shao's hand, Changsun Boyi stared at the drawing without saying a word.

Li Shao turned his head and glanced at Eldest Sun Boyi, and said again: "Don't worry, if there is no movement tonight, I will arrange people to ambush tomorrow while you are going to sacrifice, and I will definitely not let them attack in the palace. Just follow your plan."

The eldest grandson Boyi's eyes flashed, and he looked down at Li Shao with a smile in his eyes: "How do you know that our plan is not to do it in the palace?"

Li Shao turned over, lay on his back on Changsun Boyi's lap, and looked at Changsun Boyi with a smile: "If you want to do something in the palace, this road should be a spring breeze for you, but look at you, you are so sad." No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like meeting Dongfeng."

The eldest grandson Boyi only looked at Li Shao and smiled, his brows and eyes were full of tenderness.

The only person in this world who can accurately guess what he thinks without having to talk to him is Saburo.

Li Shao stretched out his hand and hooked Sun Boyi's neck, pulled himself up forcefully, and sat down instead: "Now you feel at ease?"

Li Shao stretched out a finger, and tapped on Changsun Boyi's lips.

"With you here, I've always felt at ease." The elder grandson Boyi didn't take Li Shao's hand away, and his lips rubbed against Li Shao's fingers as soon as he spoke.

"Then..." Li Shao's fingers slid from Zhang Sun Boyi's lips to his chin, across his throat, slipped into his collar, and then slid back and forth around Zhang Sun Boyi's collar, "I'm so understanding, smart and capable. Would you like a reward?"

Hearing this, Wei Ze and Wei Feng tactfully exited the room, and closed the doors and windows by the way.

The eldest grandson Boyi grabbed Li Shao's restless hand and said in distress: "Tomorrow we have to get up early to climb the mountain to sacrifice."

"So?" Li Shao blew "monstrous air" on the face of the elder Sun Boyi.

The eldest grandson Boyi suddenly turned over and pressed Li Shao under him: "So today we can only make a quick decision."

Li Shao took off Changsun Boyi's clothes and said with a smirk, "Whether the battle can be won quickly depends on how fast General Changsun is."

Pulling off Li Shao's clothes, Changsun Boyi raised his eyebrows and replied dissatisfiedly: "It depends on how fast you can make me."

Li Shao licked his lips, turned around with an evil smile and pressed Changsun Boyi onto him, straddling Changsun Boyi's waist: "Then try it."

Li Shao pulled out the hairpin and threw it away, shaking his head and shaking his long hair: "If you are faster than me today, I will punish you...you will be fined to cook for me after returning to Chang'an."

"I'll make it, how dare you eat it?" Changsun Boyi looked at Li Shao who was untying his belt playfully.

He has never cooked before.

Throwing Changsun Boyi's belt and a bunch of accessories aside, Li Shao said confidently, "Is there any need to say? As long as you bring it to me, I will eat whatever it is."

"What if you come out first?" Changsun Boyi straightened his back and pushed Li Shao.

Feeling that the place where Changsun Boyi was swollen, Li Shao slowly moved his waist and said, "What do you want to do? Listen to you."

Staring intently at Li Shao's extremely alluring appearance, Changsun Boyi said dryly, "Let me deal with it after you return to Beijing?"

Li Shao tilted his head and thought for a while, then smiled lightly and said, "Is this any different from usual?"

"You will know when the time comes." Changsun Boyi suddenly turned over and overwhelmed Li Shao, "Who did you learn from?"

"Who else can teach me but you?" Li Shao stretched his arms around Changsun Boyi's neck, "The look you show when you want me is the most provocative to me."

"I'll let you see enough today!"

Inside the room is Yunyu Gaotang, but Wei Ze and Wei Feng outside the room are in a dilemma.

After leaving the house earlier, the two of them went to inspect the gate of the yard. After about a quarter of an hour, someone came to report that Jie Jun had encountered an assassin. At this embarrassing moment, the two brothers didn't know what was going on. Should we report it? In the end, Wei Ze handed over the task of reporting to Wei Feng, and he himself rushed to Jie Jun with his people.

Wei Feng could only walk into the yard, sit on the stone steps outside the house and wait, listening to the joyous sounds coming from the house from time to time, his face flushed.

After finally surviving until there was no movement in the room, Wei Feng tentatively called out: "Young Master, General, I have something to report."

In the room, Li Shao, who lost the competition of who was faster, was very annoyed, while the elder Sun Boyi was in a happy mood and rubbed on Li Shao's body, and the part that hadn't been drawn out was also rubbed in Li Shao's body , thinking about whether to do it again in this hall, or go back to the bedroom first and then do it again.

Hearing Wei Feng's voice suddenly, the two were taken aback, and turned their heads to look at the closed door at the same time.

"What's the matter?" Changsun Boyi stared dissatisfiedly at Wei Feng's silhouette reflected on the door.

"General Qi, Mr. Xie was assassinated two quarters of an hour ago. After receiving the news, Wei Ze took people to support him, but he hasn't received any news yet."

Hearing this, Changsun Boyi immediately withdrew from Li Shao's body, grabbed the clothes beside him and put them on his body: "How many people did Wei Ze bring?"

Wei Feng replied: "I didn't take the guards in our yard with me. I probably stopped the patrol on the road and took them."

"Understood." With his hands and feet neatly dressed, Changsun Boyi strode towards the door in stride, and suddenly stopped halfway, turned around and looked at Li Shao, "You..."

"Don't worry," Li Shao, who had already sat up, smiled at Sun Boyi, "If I don't wait for you to come back, I'll go there. Tell Qingyu not to be impulsive."

"Okay." Nodding, Changsun Boyi hurriedly left.

Li Shao originally thought that since Huan Zhi and Xie Jun were already prepared, even if they met an assassin tonight, they would probably be fine, but knowing that, Li Shao was still very worried and couldn't sit still, so he decided to leave He tidied himself up neatly, took Wei Feng with him and went to Jie Jun's residence.

When Li Shao arrived, the courtyard where Xie Jun's family lived was divided into two sides, and swords were on the verge of breaking out.

Liu Ce was yawning while sitting on the chair moved out of the house, Zhang Wei was standing beside Liu Ce, Wei Ning was not here, Xie Jun stood in front of his family on the other side, Mrs. Xie sat on the ground and wept into tears. Huan Zhi, who was slightly injured, lay in Mrs. Xie's arms moaning without illness, looking like he was about to die.The elder Sun Boyi and Tao Wujing knelt in front of Liu Ce between the two groups of people.

Looking sleepily at grandson Boyi and Tao Wujing, Liu Ce said indistinctly: "You two really let me down, this palace is where I live, and your duty is to protect me, but You dare to let assassins enter the palace to assassinate. Fortunately, the Marquis of Jinyang suffered this bloody disaster for me. If you hurt me, can you afford it? Fortunately, you are still a famous general, and it is even my safety. Can't you guarantee it?"

Most of the people present were the Habayashi Army, so after Liu Ce said this, many people's expressions were always mixed with a trace of dissatisfaction.

General Changsun and King Cangyun are the generals of a country, and they want to protect the safety of Hou Chu. How did Liu Ce become the emperor's bodyguards?And what is "fortunately" that Marquis Jinyang was injured?His courtier was assassinated and injured, but he was only glad that it wasn't himself who was injured?

But Li Shao heard other meanings from these words, and immediately ordered Wei Feng to take a few people to the narrow alley to find the assassin, and at the same time gave Yan Xin, who was in the middle of Xie's family, a wink.

If you guessed right, Wei Ning wanted to take this opportunity to let Zhang Wei replace Tao Wujing and Boyi to take over the Habayashi Army in the palace.

"It's not good for ministers to wait for escorts." Although they felt wronged, Changsun Boyi and Tao Wujing couldn't say anything but such nonsense, so they could always hold Liu Ce down and beat Liu Ce in front of so many people, right?

Yan Xin suddenly took two steps forward, saluted Liu Ce and Zhang Wei in a courteous manner, and then knelt on the ground and said softly, "Your Majesty, shouldn't the most urgent task be to hunt down the assassin? General Changsun and King Cangyun will not be able to escort you." Can the culpability be discussed after the assassin is caught? After all, the two of you can’t run away, so can this matter be postponed? Otherwise, the assassin should run away after a long delay, and he hurt our little duke. Who should we turn to for revenge?

As the saying goes, there is a grievance, there is a debt, and our little lord has never offended anyone in the past. How can we not seek justice after suffering this disaster for nothing?Otherwise, next time, could the young master be so lucky that he was only slightly injured?Your Majesty also said that it was our little Marquis who blocked this bloody disaster for His Majesty, so can Your Majesty take this into consideration and send someone to hunt for the assassin? "

Hearing Yan Xin's words, Huan Zhi immediately looked at Liu Ce cooperatively, and said angrily, "Your Majesty, I have never complained to anyone...Your Majesty, save me..."

Liu Ce was speechless and could only turn his head to look at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei looked at Yan Xin and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

Yan Xin hurriedly bowed to Zhang Wei respectfully, and said: "I'm just a guest of Jiefu, a mere name is not enough for me."

Changsun Boyi immediately took up the conversation, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please lead the troops to arrest the assassin, and also give an explanation to Marquis Jinyang."

Liu Ce pursed his lips and said, "Everyone has run away, where are we going to chase after him? Besides, Xie's family said that the assassin came and went without a trace, how do you chase him?"

"I have my own way." Since it came and went without a trace, it must be in the narrow alley.

"Okay," Liu Ce nodded, "Then I will allow you to take two people to hunt down the assassins."

"What's your Majesty's intention?!" Jie Jun was annoyed, "This palace is so big, and it has been delayed for such a long time. How could General Changsun bring only two people to catch him?"

Liu Ce shrugged and said innocently, "Didn't the eldest grandson say that he has his own way?"

"Is Your Majesty deliberately trying to let the assassin escape? You..."

"Jie Jun!" Changsun Boyi let out a low voice, and Jie Jun immediately closed his mouth, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Changsun Boyi stood up, looked around and saw Li Shao, and Changsun Boyi suddenly became more confident. He selected two people from the Habayashi guards next to him, and Changsun Boyi walked in Li Shao's direction.

Li Shao smiled, and took out the previous blueprint from his pocket: "I guess you will use it. Wei Ze and Wei Feng have already looked for it."

Changsun Boyi nodded, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he led people to jump up to the wall, looking for the direction according to the blueprint.

The moment Zhang Sun Boyi jumped onto the wall, both Zhang Wei and Liu Ce showed expressions of astonishment. Zhang Wei's reaction was extremely fast, and the astonishment was put away in an instant, but Liu Ce didn't understand this. He kept looking in astonishment at Changsun Boyi who was gradually disappearing into the night.

Li Shao sneered, walked slowly towards Huanzhi, squatted down to inspect Huanzhi's wound, and just stood between Liu Ce and Huanzhi.

Huan Zhi immediately gestured to Li Shao, seeing Li Shao return a knowing smile, Huan Zhi hummed again, as if his life was not long.

Li Shao turned around, half squatted on the ground and said softly: "My Majesty, although the Marquis of Jinyang did not hurt his vitals, but the wound is quite deep. Could you please allow the imperial physician to come and bandage the Marquis of Jinyang?"

"allow."
