A crow in the desert

Geng. "

Naturally, the crow would not be loyal to Li Su, but Li Su listened to his ears and satisfied his vanity, so he pretended to be deep and said: "It's best to attack the heart."

The crowd talked for a while before they dispersed.

When Li Su returned to the house, he saw the crow was still lying on his side, so he pushed him and said with a smile, "Little slob, don't get up yet."

The crow turned his face slowly, his face was as white as a bird.Li Su handed him the clothes, and said with a smile: "You are bored at home, do you want to go out to fight?"

The crow didn't look at him: "Who are you fighting with?"

"Li Yue." Li Su said with a smile: "Both of you are enemies of ten thousand people, you can win or lose on the battlefield."

The crow was silent for a long time before saying, "I don't know how to fight, and I don't like it."

"That's it." Li Su was a little disappointed, and then said: "It's okay, I'll just pick someone else, but I just look at Loulan, who can compare to you?" After sighing for a while, he hurried out again: "I still have something to do, eat breakfast alone."

The crow stared blankly at him, then suddenly stopped him: "Li Su."

Li Su stepped on the door, turned his face, his eyebrows were picturesque, and his smile was like a flower: "What's wrong?"

The crow stared at him for a while before saying, "It's okay, thank you."

Li Su scratched his head and went out with a smile.

Crow slowly sat on the stool, thinking of his phrase "Attack the heart first", his body seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, but his face felt hot.He just sat there blankly, when the maid outside came in to deliver the food, she called him a few times but didn't respond, so he had to leave.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh, got up and opened the closet, and changed into the worn clothes when he came here.He saw water stains on the back of his hands, but he didn't know if it was tea or tears.

The crow left the palace without encountering too many obstacles along the way.He walked outside the city, and saw that the surroundings were deserted, and Li Yue's military flag was in the distance.After walking for a while, the crow looked back at the tower, feeling more and more sad.I thought: Should I go back and slap him, or ask him to tell me clearly: Do I really like me, or is it to fight against Li Yue.

He walked for tens of miles, and turned back again. He saw that Loulan City was brightly lit in the night, and the soldiers were busy. It seemed that something important had happened in the city.He stood there blankly for a long time, thinking to himself: After all, he treated me well, and it's not good for me to walk away like this.Simply capturing Li Yue and giving it to him can be regarded as repaying his kindness.

Thinking of this, the crow took advantage of the night to walk to Li Yue's camp.The soldiers were exhausted from the battle for several days, so he easily sneaked into the tent of the Chinese army, where the lights were brightly lit, the weapons were gleaming coldly, and dozens of officers were sitting on the ground, arguing with each other red-faced.Li Yue sat in the middle, with a thin face and a tired expression, and two attendants stood behind him.

The crow listened for a while, and it turned out that these officers were divided into two factions, one for the battle and one for surrender.The main battlers all said that they would break into Loulan City, kill Li Su, respect Li Yue as king, and from then on, he would be promoted to a noble and his wife and son.The Lord's surrender was practical, saying that there was not enough food and grass, the morale of the army was unstable, and the soldiers missed their wives and children in the city. If things go on like this, they will inevitably mutiny.The two sides quarreled endlessly, and finally moved their swords.

Li Yue sat cross-legged, silent.

Crow was very surprised, thinking how Li Yue could endure such noise from his subordinates with his fierce and decisive temperament.

There was chaos in the camp, and suddenly there was a scream. It turned out that a certain general had accidentally killed a certain counselor. The ground was covered in blood, and everyone stood there dumbfounded. Li Yue raised his eyelids and said, "There is no result in today's discussion, let's leave for now." .”

Everyone didn't know how to end it, and when they heard this, they were happy to escape cleanly.There was no one to pick up the dead bodies on the ground.Li Yue's attendants also went to sleep elsewhere, and in a blink of an eye Li Yue was left alone in the camp.

The crow observed for another half an hour, and saw that Li Yue was just sitting there blankly.He boldly walked into the camp, hiding a sharp knife in his sleeve, lest Li Yue would suddenly attack him.

Before the crow could speak, Li Yue saw him, stunned, and mouthed, "Help me."

Life and death

The crow pulled Li Yue up from the ground, and Li Yue's footsteps were flimsy, like a three-year-old child.Seeing the crow coming with a sword, he thought he was following Li Su's order to kill him, so he closed his eyes and said disheartenedly: "If you want to kill me, do it now, so as not to be insulted by others."

Surprised, the crow reached out and pushed Li Yue's shoulder, and Li Yue squatted lightly on the ground.The crow wanted to test again, when he suddenly heard footsteps outside, he had nowhere to hide for a while, turned over and got under the desk, pinching Li Yue's ankle with one hand to prevent him from shouting.

Li Yue sat slantedly on the mat, when an adjutant outside broke in without notification, asking him to mobilize the army's soldiers.

Li Yue didn't give it to them, but said: "The chances of winning this battle are not great. According to me, it's better to stop fighting."

The crow thought to himself: How can he be so polite when talking to his subordinates.

The adjutant straightened his neck and said: "The outcome is still undecided, Your Highness, don't build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige."

Li Yue said nothing, lowered his eyelids, as if he had fallen asleep.

The adjutant strode forward, went straight to the desk, and said loudly: "Your Highness, please hand over the soldier talisman."

The crow nervously grasped the handle of the knife, fearing that his figure would be noticed by the adjutant.Li Yue was silent for a moment, then slowly untied the sachet at his waist, and took out a walnut-sized white soldier talisman with nine dragons engraved on it, which was obviously extremely valuable.Li Yue put the soldier talisman on the table and was snatched away by the adjutant.

Li Yue looked tired, and said, "It will be the death day of my father in a few days, and I want to go back to the city to worship."

The adjutant smiled coldly: "Your Highness wants to surrender."

Li Yue didn't answer.The adjutant immediately said loudly: "All the officers and men took the lead and sacrificed their lives to fight for His Highness. Why is Your Highness so depressed? Please, Your Highness will live and die with all the soldiers."

Li Yue sighed and said, "You didn't let me go because you were worried that you wouldn't be able to control the army. If I didn't have this prestige, I'm afraid you would have replaced me long ago."

The adjutant didn't answer the words, and walked away holding the soldier talisman.

Crow came out from under the table, stared blankly at Li Yue for a moment, and said, "So you have already been taken over by him. How can such a powerful person like you be willing to be held hostage by him?"

Li Yue didn't answer, but said flatly: "You want to please Li Su with my head, please do it."

The crow originally planned to capture Li Yue to turn the tide of the battle, but now Li Yue is just a puppet, and it is useless to capture him.Crow put the dagger into his sleeve, cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me." He turned to leave.

Li Yue became anxious immediately. He was seriously injured and held hostage by his subordinates. He lived like a year. If it wasn't for his unrepented revenge, according to his temperament, he would have been bumped to death a long time ago.Now that the crow is his only savior, he naturally cannot let him go.Li Yue said in a hurry, "Your friend Lan Beibei is still in my hands."

The crow stopped to look at him.

Li Yue immediately said: "If you want to see him, you must take me away first."

The crow sighed and said, "You really jumped the wall. Lan Beibei and his friends have already left the desert, and now they are probably returning to the Central Plains."

Li Yue was stunned: "How do you know?" Fu nodded again and said, "It was arranged by Li Su. Although he has a vicious heart, he will not harm your friend in order to please you. You two are making progress very quickly. I I reminded you that he will abduct you to bed sooner or later, don't you believe? Of course, maybe you have long wanted to throw yourself into his arms."

The crow's face darkened, and he walked over slowly, grabbed a piece of rag, stuffed it into Li Yue's mouth, then kicked him over, kicking him on the stomach and back.

Li Yue rolled all over the ground. Although the place where he was beaten was not fatal, it hurt to death.The crow beat him hard, and Li Yue curled up on the ground with his head in his arms, coughed, and spat out a bloody rag.His voice was weird, like he was crying again, but also like laughing, he said: "They added mercury to my food, I can't live long."

The crow had long noticed that his face was black and yellow, and his cheeks were swollen, which was the reason.The crow hit him just now because he was in a bad mood, but now seeing him lying on his deathbed, he felt a little guilty, but he didn't know what to say.

Li Yue struggled a few times, and found that he had no strength to get up, so he simply lay down on the ground, opened his mouth, showing two rows of bloody teeth, and said, "Can I trouble you to do one last thing for me?"

The crow couldn't bear to take a closer look, and turned his face elsewhere: "You say."

Li Yue said: "There is a bottle of medicinal powder under my pillow, you bring it to me."

A look of suspicion appeared on the crow's face.

Li Yue said in relief: "It's the kind of medicine powder that doesn't feel pain after taking it, but it's not very good for the brain. I rarely take it at ordinary times, and it hurts so much today that I can't care about it."

Crow walked to the side of the marching bed as he said, and opened the pillow, and sure enough, he saw a small flat porcelain bottle.He handed the bottle to Li Yue, who was so trembling that he couldn't even lift his fingers.

The crow had no choice but to pour the powder into the palm of his hand. It was a puddle of small milky white particles exuding a vague fragrance. The crow held the powder in one hand and Li Yue's shoulder in the other.Li Yue put his head in his palm, raised his eyelids to look at the crow, suddenly smiled secretly, and blew the powder away with a whimper.

The crow was caught off guard and backed up a few steps. He was afraid that the powder might be poisonous, so he closed his eyes and held his breath, and wiped his cheeks with his sleeve. After a while, he didn't see any abnormalities, except that his nose was itchy, as if bugs had crawled into it. .

Crow opened his eyes and saw that Li Yue was still sitting where he was, with powder residue hanging on his face and hair.The crow said angrily, "What the hell are you doing?"

Li Yue swept away the decadence and dilapidation just now on his face, and said with a smile: "It's nothing."

The crow came up and pinched Li Yue's wrist, seeing him
