Master and Bandit Commander

54

Ye Changsheng had always listened to Chu Liuxiang's words. He opened his mouth obediently and just as soon as he took the medicine, his delicate and beautiful face was wrinkled into a ball, and the pill contained in his mouth was either spit out or swallowed.

Seeing his expression, Li Sanniang asked nervously, "What's wrong, is there something wrong with the medicine?"

"Bitter..." Ye Changsheng could only utter one word with difficulty, the indescribable stench in his mouth really tortured him to death, it was a hundred times more bitter than the Coptis chinensis he had eaten before.

"It's okay, just close your eyes and swallow it." Chu Liuxiang comforted him, and asked Hu Tiehua to bring the candied fruit on the table to pass the taste in his mouth.

Ye Changsheng tilted his neck and swallowed the food reluctantly, then turned his eyes and wanted to spit it out. Fortunately, Chu Liuxiang stuffed some sweet preserved fruit into his mouth in time, so he didn't let him spit out what he just ate.

"Good medicine tastes bitter, and you will feel better after taking it." Chu Liuxiang gently patted him on the back to comfort him. Although he had never taken this kind of medicine, he heard that people in Miaojiang always liked to use it. Some strange things, such as snakes, insects, rats and ants, are used as medicine, and I know that the taste will not be very good.

"Hmm..." Ye Changsheng tried hard to chew the candy to suppress the nausea. He really never wanted to take this kind of medicine again.

Chu Liuxiang raised his hand and tried the temperature of his forehead again. Although the tentacles were still warm, they were not as strong as before. It can be seen that the medicine given by Qu Yan was still somewhat effective.

He sat on the edge of the bed and pondered for a while, then said in a low voice: "Changsheng, let me go find medicine for you, okay?"

Ye Changsheng hugged the quilt to look at him, then slowly shook his head and said in a firm tone: "I heard from my father that there are dangerous mountains and bad waters in Miaojiang, the roads are far away, and the people's customs are tough and their behavior is weird. Ordinary Han people are not welcome there, so You don't go."

"But if I want to cure your illness, I have to go there." Chu Liuxiang coaxed him, "Although that Miss Qu looks fierce, she won't really want my life."

"No." Ye Changsheng resolutely refused, "Brother Chu is not allowed to go."

"Then what about your body? Have you forgotten what you said to me yesterday?" Chu Liuxiang said patiently.

Ye Changsheng remained silent, but still shook his head stubbornly, and refused to let him go.Later, seeing that he couldn't say anything about Chu Liuxiang, he simply lay face down with the quilt rolled up, and ignored him.

Seeing that he was so angry that he didn't talk to her, Chu Liuxiang was both angry and funny, she stretched out her hand and hugged him even with the quilt, bowed her head and kissed his face: "Why, are you angry with me?"

Ye Changsheng didn't want to talk to him at first, but he wasn't the kind of child who would make trouble. After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeve: "I've really improved a lot after taking the medicine. At worst, we'll think about other things in the future." Fazi, but you don’t want to go to southern Xinjiang, okay?”

Chu Liuxiang thought for a while, then touched his face with a smile, and promised him with a smile: "Okay, since you are so determined, Brother Chu will not go anywhere, and will stay here with you and sleep with you."

Ye Changsheng was satisfied with the guarantee, and fell asleep with his eyes closed after a while.

When the person was really asleep, Chu Liuxiang nodded slightly to the two people behind him, and then they closed the door lightly and walked out.

"I don't know what will happen when I go to Miaojiang, I will entrust Changsheng to you." Chu Liuxiang stood in the courtyard and said to his two friends, his tone was full of pleading.

Hu Tiehua was dissatisfied: "Old bug, what do you mean? Don't say that we are old friends who have been friends for so many years. Even ordinary passers-by, when did I, Hu Tiehua, shirk something that was entrusted to me by others?"

"Okay Hu Daxia, this time it's my fault." Chu Liuxiang apologized.

"You really want to go to Miaojiang with that demon girl? It's quite far there." Li Sanniang was still a little worried, she was worried that Chu Liuxiang would have any trouble going there.

Chu Liuxiang turned around and glanced at the closed door. His child, whom he had always cherished as a treasure, was sleeping soundly in pain, and even if he was reluctant to give up, he would resolutely leave here and go to that distant place to seek for him even There is no possibility of survival, even if you know that there may be an abyss ahead.

"I must go."

Li Sanniang and Hu Tiehua knew his temperament, they never said anything else and never tried to persuade him.Li Sanniang just sighed: "Since you've made up your mind, Xiangshuai, we can only support you as friends, but... it's just that if Changsheng wakes up and won't see you, he knows that you secretly left without telling him." , I'm afraid I'm going to cry for a long time."

Chu Liuxiang was silent for a while, he knew that if he left without saying goodbye and lied to him again, Changsheng would definitely be angry, but if he didn't do this, the child would definitely not let him leave to take risks.

"I'd better coax him when I come back. He has never been really angry with anyone." Chu Liuxiang said with a smile, her brows relaxed.

So, while Ye Changsheng was asleep, the three of Chu Liuxiang discussed the countermeasures.Then he went back to the room and simply packed his bags. When he passed by Ye Changsheng's door, he hesitated for a moment, but he pushed the door open and walked in. He gently kissed the sleeping boy's forehead, in his heart. After saying goodbye secretly, he backed out again.

He asked these two people to take good care of them again, then quickly got on his horse and left the mansion in the thick and cold night.

Ye Changsheng in the room didn't know about it, turned over in the warm bed and continued to sleep soundly, not knowing at all that his favorite brother Chu had embarked on a trek through the mountains and rivers in the night for him.

In the capital dungeon

Ye Qingliu, who was sleeping soundly leaning on the Tianjia, suddenly woke up.

Tianjia was meditating at first and didn't fall asleep. He opened his eyes after noticing the movement of the people around him, and asked in a low voice, "Why did Second Young Master wake up suddenly?"

Ye Qingliu frowned and whispered to himself: "I always feel like something is going to happen."

"Maybe Second Young Master had a nightmare." Tianjia thought for a while and said.

"Nightmare?" Ye Qingliu rubbed his head, "I actually forgot what kind of dream I had, but I vaguely remember that it seems to have something to do with the emperor."

When he said that, he suddenly recalled his slightly blackened hands when he met the emperor a long, long time ago.At that time, he just glanced at it inadvertently, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Now that he thinks about it, it seems that since then, the emperor suddenly changed his temperament and began to stop trusting them. Could it be that there is really some connection between them?

Recalling these things that had been neglected one by one, he crossed his legs and thought about these things with a serious face, Tianjia didn't dare to disturb him.

The door was opened with a "bang", and the jailers appeared at the door again, full of hostility.

Tianjia became vigilant. These people hadn't appeared for several days, and the second young master could take a breather. They suddenly appeared in the middle of the night like this, and it was definitely not a good thing.

The visitor glanced at them expressionlessly, waved his hands without saying a word, and asked his subordinates to drag Ye Qingliu.

Ye Qingliu has been interrogated for so many days, how can he still withstand such a rough dragging, the whole person fell to the ground.Tianjia was so anxious that his eyes were red, "Let him go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit hard on the head suddenly, and a trace of blood flowed down.

However, as if he couldn't feel the pain, he struggled desperately to break free from the shackles of the heavy iron chain and snatch him back, while roaring: "Are you all blind? This is Second Young Master Ye! Let him go!" !"

Even though he frantically swung the iron chain like an angry lion, even bleeding from the place where the chain pinned him, he still stubbornly wanted to take Ye Qingliu back and protect him in his arms again.

It's just that he was trapped too firmly, no matter how he struggled, he could only watch the Second Young Master being dragged away.

Ye Qingliu vaguely knew in his heart that his going might be dangerous, but when he heard the movement of the person behind him, he was miraculously not afraid at all.

Tianjia stared blankly at the door of the cell being closed again, and once again began to hate himself for being like a waste. If he hadn't been so uselessly locked up by these chains, then he could have easily kicked him away just now. These bastards who pretended to be powerful, led the second young master out of this gloomy dungeon.

He held his hands tightly, he had to find a way to get out of here, he couldn't sit still and wait for death!

At the same time, the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace in Beijing

An old eunuch in simple clothes was hunched over and carefully hobbling in the deserted garden, carefully observing the movements around him as he walked, as if to see if anyone was following him, and tried to pick some trails to walk.He is an old man in the palace and has been here for decades, so he knows this place better than anyone else, and he knows every little lane and even every secret passage here.

He walked along the secret passage leading to the outside of the palace closest to his memory. He had to leave the palace before dawn and not let anyone find out, otherwise he might lose his life.

It doesn't matter whether his life is saved or not, anyway, he is such an old age, and it's time to follow his master into the earth.But what he held in his bosom was the last hope of the master whom he had served wholeheartedly but could not end well in the end.So he had to go out from here to fulfill the last entrustment he gave to himself.

He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, ignored the grief in his heart, and moved towards the goal step by step. He wanted to hand over everything completely to the little master.

"Little master, you have to wait for your slaves carefully!"

The dark and hazy night covered his whereabouts, and also covered up all the crimes that happened in this palace.
