Daily life of captives

Wei Ning did have a wound on his shoulder. In order to cooperate with Habayashi Wei's investigation, Wei Ning also untied the gauze bandaging the wound, but when he saw the wound, Huan Zhi's eyes turned cold.

Huan Zhi could be sure that this wound was inflicted by him with a dagger last night, but Wei Ning was smart. After escaping last night, he picked up another flat stone and rubbed the wound again enduring the severe pain. Became left behind when injured by a blunt instrument.

Looking at Huanzhi's disappointed look, Wei Ning said: "This injury was caused by a sharp-edged stone after the officer accidentally fell last night. Everyone in the Habayashi Army should also be able to see that this wound was not caused by a sharp weapon. To."

Huanzhi raised his eyes, looked at Wei Ning and said with a smile: "You really can't tell what you look like. Mr. Wei was unexpectedly confused. Last time, I hurt that shoulder because of my carelessness, and I broke the other shoulder by myself. It is really not easy for Master Wei to live safely to this day."

Wei Ning said with a sneer, "I made the Marquis of Jinyang laugh."

"Break up Master Wei." After leaving such a sentence, Huanzhi turned around and left resentfully, stood next to Mrs. Jie, and whispered, "Let him run away."

Mrs. Xie's eyes flickered, and she turned her head to Xie Jun's ear, as if she was whispering something: "Qingyu said that he ran away."

Xie Jun understood, turned his head and smiled softly at Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie also laughed, then lowered her head, as if a little shy.

After clearing himself of the suspicion, Wei Ning weighed for a while and didn't know whether he should go to Li Shao for trouble. He was afraid that if he could not successfully divert everyone's attention to Li Shao, then he himself would be exposed first.

However, Zhang Wei, who always thought that Li Shao wanted to kill him, saw that Wei Ning was fine, so he took a step ahead of Wei Ning and asked Li Shao, "Young master seems to have just come back from outside, I don't know where you went?"

Li Shao turned around, wanting to look at Zhang Wei and speak, but the elder Sun Boyi hugged him too tightly, Li Shao's waist was twisted halfway and he couldn't twist it anymore, so he had to turn back again.

"I just took a walk near the palace with Mrs. Xie."

Why did he feel that Bo Yi was leaning on him and fell asleep?

Zhang Wei followed up and asked: "Is there anyone else going with me besides Madam?"

"No."

"Since there is no one else, how can you prove that the young master is just walking around the palace and not going anywhere else?"

Hearing Zhang Wei's words, Li Shao rolled his eyes.

Zhang Wei really spared no effort to blame him, but so what?Without evidence, what Zhang Wei said was useless.

Huan Zhi immediately opened his eyes and shouted at Zhang Wei: "What do you mean? You mean my sister can lie and deceive people?!"

"Marquis of Jinyang calm down, I didn't mean that," Zhang Wei hurriedly explained, "It's just that everyone knows that the young master and Mr. Xie have a good relationship, and Mrs. Xie naturally..."

"Bah!" Huanzhi turned around and was about to beat up Zhang Wei, but was stopped by Mrs. Xie, "I've seen someone who blamed others, but I've never seen such a shameless way of blaming you! Since you have decided that the young master is a bad person , I believe that people who have a good relationship with the young master will be partial to the young master, so why do you ask? Anyway, the young master will not take a walk and drink tea with someone who has a bad relationship with him. It is up to you to say whether it is good or bad Forget it? Next, are you going to say that you are following the command of the young master? I think you are the one who wants to kill two birds with one stone with ulterior motives! I have long thought that you have other plans to approach His Majesty!"

"Qingyu, don't talk nonsense!" Mrs. Xie reprimanded Huanzhi, "The decision of the case is handled by the adults of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. Just talk nonsense if you know anything?"

"But sister..."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Xie glared at Huanzhi, then blessed the officials, and said softly, "My brother's nonsense, please don't take it to heart. What General Zhang said is not unreasonable. Since General Zhang doubts the young master, it is reasonable not to believe my testimony. But I think the most urgent thing is to find His Majesty first."

"Mrs. Xie is right." The Minister of Rites bowed to Mrs. Xie, "It is irrefutable that General Zhang pushed His Majesty off the cliff by mistake, and there is no need to argue here. As for the son's right and wrong, you can wait until you return to Beijing." Afterwards, I will ask Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice to conduct investigations based on the testimony provided by General Zhang. The most urgent task is to speed up the search and rescue of His Majesty, and tomorrow we will meet with Chief Chidi..."

Having said that, the Minister of Rites gave Changsun Boyi a worried look.

Falling off such a high cliff, His Majesty will surely die. Even if His Majesty survives, General Changsun will be in charge of meeting with Chief Chidi tomorrow, but looking at General Changsun's appearance at this time... Chidi people are not easy to get along with.

The Minister of Rites looked at Li Shao again.

I don't know if the son can cheer up General Changsun as soon as possible.

After the Yulin Army checked everyone, Xie Jun sent everyone to disperse, and Zhang Wei was naturally going to be detained alone.

Li Shao and Xie Jun supported the distraught eldest Sun Boyi back to the residence. As soon as the door was closed, the eldest Sun Boyi was full of energy.

Heaving a sigh of relief, the eldest grandson Boyi asked Li Shao, "Where's Liu Ce?"

Li Shao curled his lips, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "As soon as you open your mouth, ask him, why don't you ask me?"

"You?" Changsun Boyi still looked blank, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Shao was speechless: "Liu Ce is fine, I will take you to see him in a while."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jun said in astonishment: "Liu Ce is not dead? You, how can you keep him alive?!"

Then why did they plan so much before?

"Don't worry," Li Shao said calmly, "After Boyi confirms Liu Ce's safety with his own eyes, I will have someone send him to Ding Lingguo. Liu Ce probably won't be able to come back by himself."

Xie Jun still frowned: "But there is no Liu Ce's body under the cliff, how can I explain this to others?"

"Isn't there a Sitianjian?" Li Shao smirked, "If you talk about ghosts and gods, who else can compare to Sitianjian?"

After thinking about it, Jie Jun still felt that it was inappropriate: "No, this is too risky!"

Eldest Sun Boyi also felt that the risk was too great, and looked at Li Shao worriedly.

Li Shao didn't take it seriously and said, "Wait a minute, come with us to meet Liu Ce."

Xie Jun looked at Li Shao suspiciously.

After waiting for about half an hour, Wei Ze appeared out of nowhere.

"My lord, everyone outside has been cleaned up."

"Okay," Li Shao got up, and looked at the grandson Boyi with a smile, "Let's go, go and see your little emperor. Wei Ze, take Master Xie with you."

"Yes."

The four sneaked out of the room and found an alley behind the palace. After opening the door of the carriage, Changsun Boyi and Xie Jun saw Liu Ce.

Liu Ce sat in the car with his knees hugged, curled up as much as possible, and when he heard the sound of the car door opening, he immediately looked up, his eyes were clear and filled with fear.

"You, who are you? Why are you arresting me? I... who am I?"

Changsun Boyi and Xie Jun were taken aback for a moment, and they all looked at Li Shao.

Li Shao said calmly: "I fed him medicine. From today on, he will forget everyone and everything. After sending him to Ding Lingguo, I will arrange someone to take care of him."

Unexpectedly, it would be such a result, Xie Jun was stunned for a while, and could only sigh: "If you want him to live, I'm afraid that's the only way to go."

Changsun Boyi held Li Shao's hand tightly, looked at Li Shao affectionately, but didn't know what to say, saying thank you was too natural, saying love was too inappropriate, Changsun Boyi couldn't find any words to express his heart at this moment love and gratitude.

Understanding Changsun Boyi's intentions from his eyes, Li Shao said as a matter of course: "The debt you bear is also my debt. If you can't pay it back, I will pay it back."

After arranging for someone to send Liu Ce away, Li Shao and the others went back to their own residences. When it was time for lunch, the food sent to Li Shao by the palace kitchen was sent back almost intact. The maid who returned to the meal sighed, saying that Changsun Boyi was very sad and refused to eat anything, even Li Shao didn't eat anything.

The word spread from the kitchen, and within two quarters of an hour, it spread throughout the palace, except for Wei Ning who secretly cursed and put on a show, everyone else sighed.

Everyone knows that eldest grandson Boyi, Liu Ce, and Zhang Wei have been friends for ten years. They have been through life and death together. This friendship is deeper than the friendship between ordinary people. After Liu Ce was promoted to the throne, the eldest grandson Boyi even took care of everything for Liu Ce, and never asked for anything in return. For some willful demands of Liu Ce, the eldest grandson Boyi also fulfilled as much as possible, which shows that the elder grandson Boyi treated Liu Ce very well.

But now Changsun Boyi watched Zhang Wei push Liu Ce off the cliff with his own eyes. Even if Zhang Wei was careless as he himself said, to Changsun Boyi, it probably made no difference. Wei killed Liu Ce, but the elder Sun Boyi who was also at the scene failed to rescue Liu Ce. Can the eldest grandson Boyi not blame Zhang Wei?Can you not blame yourself?

But the eldest grandson Boyi, who was sympathized and pitied by everyone, was eating the roast chicken that Wei Ze brought back from a nearby town in his room. When the food was delicious, the Habayashi guards who went to search and rescue Liu Ce came back.

"General Qi, the person who went to look for His Majesty has returned." Yu Shi knew that his elder Sun Boyi was hiding in the house eating roast chicken, so he didn't dare to open the door, so he stood outside to announce.

The eldest grandson Boyi was taken aback, and looked up at Li Shao, with half of the chicken wings still in his mouth.

Li Shao rolled his eyes at him, got up and went out.

"The general is asleep," he opened the door and squeezed out, Li Shao closed the door behind him again, and asked Yu Shidao seriously, "Have you found Your Majesty?"

Yu Shi shook his head.

"Didn't find it?" Realizing that his voice was a little louder, Li Shao immediately led Yu Shi out of the room, as if he was afraid that his eldest grandson Boyi would hear their conversation, "Have you searched hard?"

"My lord, go and ask yourself. The people who came back are all in front. At this moment, some adults have probably rushed over."

"Then go ask."

Sighing, Li Shao followed Yu Shi quickly to the front of the palace and entered the courtyard. Sure enough, there were already many people standing in the front hall. Seeing Li Shao, everyone greeted him one after another.

Li Shao hurriedly returned the salute and went straight to the general who led the team to search, and asked eagerly, "Why didn't you find it? Is there a river under the cliff?"

The general looked solemn, shook his head, and said: "There is only a lake under the cliff, and... and there is a distance from the bottom of the cliff, just in case, the last general also sent people to sneak into the bottom of the lake to search, but..."

"Then why didn't it happen?" Li Shao's voice suddenly became sharp, "Your Majesty fell down, how could it not? Did it hang on the cliff? Or are there wild beasts under the cliff? Are you serious? search?!"

The general still bowed his head, but in terms of his official position, he didn't have to kneel to Li Shao, not to mention there were so many other people in front of him, he couldn't kneel to Li Shao either.

"The last general... tried his best."

"Look again!" Xie Jun on the side suddenly said firmly, "It's good news that the body was not found. Maybe your Majesty is lucky and lucky. You are on the way to find it. You expand the scope and continue to look for it!"

"Yes!" The general replied, and immediately led the people away, but he didn't have much expectation in his heart.

Your Majesty doesn't know martial arts, let alone light skills, if you fall from such a high cliff, if there is no one to respond below, how can you still be alive?Maybe it is true as the young master said, His Majesty's body was dragged away by wild beasts, so where can they find it?

The Habayashi guards left in a hurry, but Li Shao stood there with a sad expression on his face.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites and his colleagues looked at each other in blank dismay, then stepped forward and asked Li Shao, "Young Master, how is the general?"

Li Shao came back to his senses, and when he turned his head to look at the Minister of Rites, he smiled subconsciously, but there was a little sadness in his smile today: "He has fallen asleep now, but his spirit has not been very good, and he refuses to eat something, alas..."

The Minister of Rites immediately frowned: "It's not good to go on like this."

"Yes, but what can I do?" Li Shao sighed, "Bo Yi has always regarded His Majesty as his younger brother, knowing that His Majesty does not understand government affairs, so Boyi took everything on himself, no matter how hard and tired he is. I have never complained, I only hope that His Majesty can live comfortably, but..."

Minister of the Ministry of Rites said: "Your Majesty naturally knows that the general and His Majesty are brothers, but... but meeting the leader of Chidi tomorrow, this matter can't be careless! Although Chidi is only a small tribe, they are brave and good at fighting, and they can Standing between Ding Lingguo and my Hou Chu, this Chidi leader is by no means an ordinary person. Tomorrow's meeting was originally intended to reach some mutually beneficial conditions, so as to prevent the Chidi people from harassing the northern border. If we are not careful If you lose the wind, you will definitely suffer!"

Li Shao sighed again, and said, "Even if your lord tells me like this, I can't help it."

"This..." After thinking for a while, the Minister of Rites suggested, "Why don't you go with the general tomorrow?"

"Me?" Li Shao shook his head, "It's not convenient for me to come forward on such an occasion."

The Book of Etiquette hurriedly explained: "Tomorrow's meeting is not so solemn. It's just that the two sides sit together and chat, and then have some competitions to add to the fun. In fact, it is just an ordinary banquet."

Li Shao frowned, still hesitating.

The Minister of Rites said again: "The lower officials also know that the young master doesn't want to worry about the government any more, and just wants to take good care of the general, but the young master doesn't want the Chidi people to take advantage of us, does he?"

"Forget it," Li Shao finally nodded in response, "I also don't want to add one more thing in Bo Yi's heart to make him feel guilty. I will go with him tomorrow."

"Then I will trouble you, my lord." He bowed to Li Shao, but the Minister of Rites felt that this matter was very strange no matter how he thought about it.

The young master was originally a prince, he should care about state affairs, even if he is married, he should not be completely separated from the court, but now they want the young master to intervene in the state affairs, but they still have to ask for it. There are so many people, but no one can compare with the young master. Even if someone can win the young master's intelligence, they can't win the young master's courage, and those who are more courageous than the young master lack intelligence. Why can't they have more young masters? What about such a person?

Li Shao nodded slightly, then left in a hurry and returned to Changsun Boyi.

Changsun Boyi had already eaten and drank enough, and even the evidence of the crime was destroyed by Changsun Boyi, leaving only the faint aroma of roast chicken in the room.

"How about it?"

Li Shao shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's only hell if they can find it. Tomorrow's meeting with Chief Chidi, I will go with you."

Hearing this, Changsun Boyi was puzzled: "Didn't you just say no?"

Li Shao proudly said: "They invited me to go, saying that they were afraid that the grief-stricken General Changsun would perform abnormally tomorrow and be suppressed by the Chidi people, and we would suffer a lot later."

Changsun Boyi said calmly, "that makes sense," and said, "Then it's up to you tomorrow."

Li Shao raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Changsun Boyi laughed and said, "Aren't I just heartbroken?"

Li Shao kicked the elder Sun Boyi.

The Habayashi Army who went out to search Liu Ce searched outside all afternoon, but finally found nothing. Seeing the night fall, Xie Jun didn't let them go out to look again.

When it was time for dinner, Changsun Boyi ate the roast meat made by the palace cook, but he only ate two pieces, and the other meals were sent back intact. Li Shao accompanied Changsun Boyi to hide in the Steal meat buns in the room.

A good night's sleep, and the next morning, eldest grandson Boyi appeared in front of everyone in black clothes with a blank expression on his face, full of pressure, while Li Shao, who was dressed in plain clothes, followed him, with a faint smile on his face as always, warm and moist Ruyu's appearance just harmonized with Changsun Boyi's aura.

Seeing that the elder Sun Boyi looked very healthy, and Li Shao was by his side, the officials breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to elevate the status of Hou Chu, the eldest grandson Boyi would not meet the Chidi people in person, so he took some officials to the venue specially built for this meeting, and in order to show respect for the Chidi people, Jie Jun personally took another part of the officials to meet the Chidi people in the north of Yunzhou.

But the plan is always not as fast as the change. Seeing the Chidi people coming on horseback from a distance, Xie Jun put on a smile, but the Chidi people did not slow down their horses, and ran past Xie Jun and his party at a gallop. , Yang Jiejun and the others were covered in sand.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites swallowed a mouthful of dirt, stunned for a while, and suddenly trembled with anger: "Master Xie, they...they are too much! Barbarians just don't know etiquette!"

Xie Jun patted the sand off his body, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay for them to be in front of the general. Let's go back to the palace and change our clothes. Barbarians can be rude, but we can't be rude."

When Xie Jun took the officials to change clothes leisurely, the Chidi people had already arrived at Changsun Boyi's place, but even when they reached the area guarded by the Habayashi Army, the Chidi people did not want to stop their horses Meaning, as soon as this group of people appeared, it caused a huge commotion. The Habayashi Army who responded quickly and stepped forward to intercept them failed to stop everyone. In front of Changsun Boyi and Li Shao, the one who took the lead was the leader Chidi.

Li Shao turned a deaf ear to and turned a blind eye to the chaos, poking his head on the plate of fruit in front of him boredly, while his eldest grandson Boyi drank wine, also looking indifferent.

The leader of Red Di, Lu Feng, wanted to accept it when he was happy, but he just wanted to give this elder Sun Boyi who was similar to his age but famous all over the world a disgrace. It can be seen that the elder Sun Boyi and Li Shao were sitting as firmly as Mount Tai, without even a look on their faces. With a slight change, the road wind became stronger, and the horse rushed up to the platform built of wooden boards, and went straight to the eyes of Changsun Boyi and Li Shao. He saw that the horse's front hooves were about to step on the small table in front of Changsun Boyi before reining in the horse. Stay, turn the horse's head at perfect timing.

The horse's front hooves barely brushed against the small table, but the horse's face was almost touching that of Changsun Boyi.

After the horse's hooves hit the ground, Changsun Boyi raised his eyes to look at the horse's face in front of him. Even though he couldn't see anything because the distance was too close, he said calmly, "Good horse."

After finishing speaking, Changsun Boyi raised his hand and patted the horse's head, and pushed the horse's head away forcefully.

Li Shao, who was holding back a smile, accidentally poked his chopsticks into a fruit, curled his lips, Li Shao raised his head, and said loudly: "Why are you so blind? Didn't you see that King Chidi couldn't find his place?" ? Why don’t you invite someone to lead Chidi King to his seat?”

"Yes!" Hearing Li Shao's words, Habayashi Wei immediately stepped forward, grabbed Lu Feng's rein and led the horse away, "King Chidi, this way please."

With a flash in Lu Feng's eyes, he jumped off the horse.

"Are you the chief strategist of Hou Chu?"

Changsun Boyi looked up at Lu Feng, and asked back, "Isn't it like that?"

Lu Feng snorted coldly, and said: "Just send a general to see me, are you looking down on me? It is said that the Central Plains people know the best etiquette, and this king sees nothing more than that!"

"It's really just that," Changsun Boyi said calmly, "At first, this general also thought it was a misnomer from his neighbors, and the general knows best what kind of people from the Central Plains are, but today's comparison makes this general feel that this statement is true. It seems that compared with other people around, the etiquette of the Central Plains people is indeed slightly better."

It was rare for Changsun Boyi to confuse his words a little bit, and after hearing this, Lu Feng smoothed it out secretly, only then did he understand what Changsun Boyi meant, but he was not angry.

"This king is the lord of Chidi, so I only drink at the same table with people of the same status as this king, and call your majesty here!"

The eldest grandson Boyi was not annoyed, and replied: "After your Majesty came to Yunzhou, the water and the soil were not acclimatized. If King Chidi insisted on forcing a weak person to drink with King Chidi, I have nothing to say. Satisfy King Chidi's request. And... King Chidi will not drink at the same table as this general, King Chidi's seat is on that side."

After finishing speaking, Changsun Boyi pointed to a group of tables on the left side of the stage. This group of tables was almost side by side with the two groups on Changsun Boyi and Li Shao's side, but the subtle angle of inclination made the two sides fit together. A horoscope, and King Chidi's table seat is also slightly lower than Changsun Boyi's, so you can't see it without careful observation.

Lu Feng was taken aback for a moment, Xindao lost the first round after the meeting.

"Forget it, since you are not feeling well, there is nothing you can do about it. You Central Plains people are weak and sick."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Feng sat down firmly in his seat.
