After death I became the canary of the cruel prince

Late at night, the palace dungeon.

Several jailers sat around the table, sipping wine to refresh themselves.

At this time, the drowsiness is the strongest, even if you drink strong wine and burn it from your throat to your stomach, you can't hold back the overwhelming drowsiness.

Just waiting for the gong to sound, and the sound of footsteps outside the cell, a few jailers came in to change shifts, and the sleepy guards waved their hands and left the dungeon.

"You guys have opened your eyes wide. The people in this dungeon are serious criminals who conspired and rebelled. If there is a mistake, you won't even have enough heads to chop off."

"Yes, lead."

The jailer responded and stood guard at the door of the cell, while the other two patrolled inside.

The innermost dungeon was made of black iron, and a man in prison uniform was imprisoned inside.

"Who is he, why did the leader make him so alert." One of the new jailors asked.

"You don't even know?" another doubted.

Seeing him shaking his head, he looked around and lowered his voice. "The person imprisoned here is the well-known war king, Bei Gongzhi."

"What, it's him!"

"Don't spread this matter. The higher-ups require it to be kept secret. If it is spread, they will be beheaded. Even ordinary people outside who talk about this time will be arrested and silenced by patrolling officers and soldiers."

He made a movement of wiping his neck, which made the jailer shut up in a hurry.

When the guards arrived in the middle of the night, after the cock crowed, someone came to deliver the food. The guards threw the food into the dungeon, and they sat at the table.

"I didn't expect the name of King of War to be so lost." The jailer sighed.

"Which one of these royal dignitaries is not like this, either they are high above, or they died more miserable than anyone else. After you stay here for a few more years, you will find that this is nothing more than a common thing." The slightly older jailer said Pick up the wine.

Just as he was about to go down, the dungeon was opened from the outside.

The "Yangdang" wine glass fell to the ground, and the jailer was terrified. He hurriedly got up from the table, stepped aside and knelt down.

"Long live the emperor."

Several other jailers also knelt down.

The old emperor looked at Bei Gongzhi, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, with complicated eyes, and walked over heavily.

"I will give you a chance to redeem yourself."

His eyes were like torches, even if disaster was imminent, the emperor's prestige would not diminish at all.

Bei Gongzhi opened his eyes, and looked at the man who had never cared about him, and even felt that he was a superfluous 'father'.

"What's my fault?" he asked back.

"What is your crime, you know it yourself!" The emperor opened his eyes angrily, even if he couldn't hide his disgust.

Bei Gongzhi sneered, the prince thought that the emperor would reuse him, and was afraid that he would take away his position as prince, which is actually ridiculous.Only he himself knows what all this is for.

"Why do you have to be hypocritical, the emperor asked me to do something, the worst thing is to threaten."

"You!" The old emperor's face was livid.

Bei Gongzhi lowered his eyes, his jaw was tense, and the hands on his knees were tightly clenched.

Bei Gongzhi was not the emperor's own son, the emperor and his concubine mother knew about this, and it was precisely because of this that the concubine mother felt guilty and always obeyed the emperor's advice.

Since childhood, the emperor has never treated him as a prince.

Throw it into a wolf's den, a snake's den, to complete a task that a child can't complete at all.

Kill people, plunder land, whatever is filthy and filthy, let him do anything that is easy to kill.

However, Beigong insisted on his orders, and survived every time, and formed his own army by chance. The old emperor forced him to kill for him from the beginning, and later attacked the city.

Handing over the military power to him, and trusting Bei Gongzhi are all just illusions.

It's just because he used Bei Gongzhi's mother and concubine as a threat to make him do something he didn't want to do at all.

"The golden man invaded the country, you quickly lead your troops to fight back."

"The prince wants military power, but the emperor will give it to him and let him lead the army. Why bother to find me, a traitor."

"Bei Gongzhi, you have to go if you don't!"

The door of the dungeon opened, and several eunuchs came over and unchained his hands and feet, and handed him a hairpin.

Bei Gongzhi's pupils tightened, and he stood up abruptly.

"Hurry up!" The old emperor had a hint of complacency in his eyes.

Bei Gongzhi snatched the hairpin, quickly walked out of the dungeon, gritted his teeth and spit out two words.

"Prepare armor!"

Wen Junping was sitting on the roof of the attic with the highest city wall, looking at the back of the man riding out of the city against the sun.

"Success."

"Thanks to you." Mu Li appeared behind him at some point.

Compared with the disgust before, there is more appreciation in his eyes now.

If it hadn't been for Wen Junping's idea to let him lead a small army to attack the barracks and set fire to it, angering the Jin soldiers to attack wildly, causing the front line to be in a hurry, and losing a city overnight, the emperor would not have captured the army so quickly. The prince let it out.

Mu Li was shocked when he heard this plan at first. A little actor is actually trying to arrange a golden man, and accurately calculates that the golden man will definitely capture two cities. This is simply nonsense.

Even if he has been in the army for many years, he dare not make such an inference.

But the facts are no different from what Wen Junping said.

Only one night passed from Feige passing the letter to when the incident happened.

This precise calculation, and what could be considered a wicked strategy, really made Mu Li admire.

If it weren't for the unhappiness that happened with the prince, maybe he could become friends with him.

"Next, what are your plans." He looked at him with complicated eyes.

Wen Junping stood up, his robe fluttered in the wind, his black hair was disheveled by the wind, he grinned openly with his lips parted.

"I want to stay here until the prince returns from victory."

Mu Li was stunned for a moment and said suspiciously. "Aren't you afraid that the prince will kill you?"

Wen Junping shook his head and smiled even more.

"I wouldn't come back if I was afraid."

Having already died once, there is nothing in this world that he is afraid of. What he wants to know most now is the truth.

Why did he attack Mo Xuecheng, why did he humiliate himself, and why did he order him to be cut alive.

If it is really as he has shown, he feels guilty about himself, if he really has some affection for himself between brothers and sisters.

So, what made him do it.

He wanted to know.

Even if he dies in his hands again!

Mu Li stared at him blankly, he suddenly realized that he didn't know this young man well enough, was he really just a medicine man trained by the prince as he had investigated?

It's just a trick to seduce the prince and poison him?

There is a mystery about him, but he can't see through it, and he doesn't even know how to ask it.

Before I knew it, there was a knot in my heart.

This unresolved knot is Wen Junping.

It's like there is a locked box in front of you, you don't know what's inside, and even that box has nothing to do with you.

However, you just want to open it and see what's inside.

"I still have a vacant room, you can stay with me first." Mu Li frowned after speaking.

Shouldn't I kill him, after all, he is on the prince's side.

My heart became tangled.

"Thank you."

The rising sun fell on the young man's face, his tea-blue eyes were as bright as gemstones, and the transparent color was like a pool of spring water, which washed people's hearts and impetuousness subsided.

"You're welcome."

Mu Li led Wen Junping back to stay, half a month passed in a blink of an eye, Wen Junping was not idle during this half month, running around to find out more or less what happened on the front line.

Three days later, the city gate opened.

The King of War returns with a great victory.

Mu Li returned to the yard excitedly early in the morning.

"Master Wen, good news!"

In the past few days, the two of them are no longer at odds with each other as before, and Mu Li's attitude towards him has also subtly changed.

Wen Junping poked his head out from the kitchen. Wen Junping, who has been interested in food since childhood, is also the same for studying food. He has been busy in the kitchen these days. The reason for Mu Li's attitude change is also because his stomach has been conquered. .

"My lord is back!"

"Orbit!"

The lid of the pot in his hand fell to the ground, and Wen Junping ran out quickly, ignoring the bubbling soup in the pot.

Mu Li followed him and ran towards the gate of the city.

The city gate was crowded with people, and Wen Junping squeezed through the crowd looking for the shadow of the man.

The city gate opened, and there was a clatter of horseshoes. The first person to enter the city gate was Bei Gongzhi on horseback.

He was wearing a pitch-black armor, just like the one he wore when he attacked Mo Xuecheng that day, but Wen Junping was no longer afraid, but looked at him calmly, with some emotions in his eyes that he couldn't understand.

He is alive and back!

As expected of the Bei Gongzhi he knew, the greatest enemy in his life, the biggest hurdle!

If it was so easy to die, he would definitely look down on him.

The crowd covered him, the man did not see him, and rode towards the palace.

Wen Junping looked at his back, stretched out his hand to stop him, opened his mouth and retracted his hand.

Now is not the time to say those things.

Bei Gongzhi seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly reined in the rein and looked back.

The white hand in the crowd slowly fell, and then disappeared into the crowd.

There was a layer of bitterness in Bei Gongzhi's dark eyes, as if he was looking forward to something, but it suddenly fell to nothing, and the light that had just floated in his eyes went out.

He looked at the door opened by the emperor, his eyes were ashen.

"My lord, please dismount and hand over your sword." Bei Gongzhi jumped off his horse and handed over his sword. The next moment a sword was pressed against his neck.

The old eunuch made a gesture of invitation in a strange manner.

"My lord, please."

In the palace hall, the old emperor was sitting on the dragon chair. There was no one in the hall, but he was the only one waiting for him here.

"I knew you would not disappoint me."

Bei Gongzhi lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"so what."

"Take your rebellion as a misunderstanding, and I will find a scapegoat for you, as for your concubine mother."

"I will take good care of her."

Bei Gongzhi's fists tightened, and his downcast eyes were a little colder.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go first."

The emperor waved his hand. "Your palace, I have already had someone tidy it up."

He turned around, and just as he took a step, the old emperor's sinister voice sounded again.

"It's not easy to want to die. You have to live well to continue to serve the state of Chu, including your children and grandchildren. They will be slaves of the royal family forever.
