Li Zhang

Because Mu Yan only told Liangjiashan and Balipo two locations, Sima Yi didn't dare to leave too far, and was worried that Mu Yanmao would rush into Zhang Lan's siege, so he could only walk around in a general direction.He anxiously took out the jade flute to call repeatedly, but there was no new news from Night Owl.

The scouts leading the way began to report the whereabouts of the officers and soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and the places for Sima Yi and the others to deal with gradually became less and less, and he couldn't help but feel discouraged.At this moment, the sharp sound of the jade flute sounded, and several night owls circled up and down high above their heads, and Sima Yi hurriedly played the flute to respond.

The strange scene summoned a large number of officers and soldiers. Sima Yi and Mu Yan approached desperately, and finally met Mu Yan in front of the officers and soldiers!

The moment he saw Mu Yan clearly, Sima Yi couldn't tell what mood he was in now, he was both happy and helpless.More than a month of hard work has changed many existing concepts.Many times, he has even blurred the glory and brilliance attached to the specific status of the prince. What he supports in front of Li Zhang and Wang Xiang is just an empty shell, an empty shell that allows him to maintain his dignity.Mu Yan has always existed like his father, no matter what his status is, seeing Mu Yan again at this moment, Sima Yi is like a child who has suffered many grievances, and he can't help but feel sour.

Sima Yi hugged Mu Yan as if no one was there, completely ignoring the cold and solemn atmosphere surrounded by swords and guns.

Mu Yan was filled with emotions when he was hugged by Sima Yi.Once upon a time, the child was already a head taller than himself, but his protective heart was still so strong that he still wanted to remove all obstacles for him.

The bodyguards brought by Mu Yan closely guarded Mu Yan and Sima Yi, although they were few in number, they were fearless, Sun Qi's officers and soldiers were bewildered by their aura, they formed a circle and did not move.

Zhang Lan rushed up from behind, seeing Sima Yi and Mu Yan embracing each other as if no one else was around, she couldn't help but put her hands behind her back and grinned, "His Royal Highness Ning Wang is really kind, under such circumstances, he can still reminisce about the past, Zhang really admires it to!"

Sima Yi indulged by Mu Yan's side for a while and calmed down. Hearing this, he turned around and scoffed, "Master Zhang has worked hard, chasing this king all the way through mountains and rivers."

"It's easy to say. Zhang is also acting according to orders. If the prince hadn't absconded privately, I wouldn't need to spend so much trouble. Your Highness, please!"

"Oh? I don't know where Master Zhang is taking me?"

"Of course, go back to Beijing."

"Oh, this king is going back to Beijing to defend himself. Now Commander Mu has come with the guards of the palace, so don't bother Mr. Zhang!"

"...The prince disappeared in Zhuti, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has severely warned me, and I dare not be negligent."

"Mr. Zhang, what do you mean by this? Yizhou did not pick up things under Mr. Zhang's rule, and my king's guards have always been loyal. I don't know how my king returned to Beijing with the guards, so how could Mr. Zhang be negligent?"

Zhang Lan was suffocated, and cast a gloomy glance at Mu Yan, who was watching with his hands behind his back, and said coldly, "Since the lord has absconded without reason, I can't trust you. Come, His Highness King Ning, please go on the road!"

The officers and soldiers surrounding him began to press on step by step, and the guards of the palace tensed up their nerves, ready to fight to the death.Sima Yi slowly pulled out the Scarlet Heaven Sword, met Long Yuan who was hanging on his waist together, and suddenly thought of Li Zhang, and suddenly realized that he was so eager to fight side by side with him again, but he was not by his side...

When it was about to explode, Mu Yan held up a scroll of silk brocade with both hands, and said loudly: "His Majesty the Emperor has secretly ordered this, Mr. Zhang, please accept the order!"

"...The emperor has been ill for a long time, where is the secret decree! Lord Mu is going to pass the imperial decree falsely!"

"Whether it's true or not, adults can tell at a glance!"

Under the eyes of everyone, Zhang Lan and Sun Qi could only go forward, Mu Yan unfolded the silk brocade embroidered with dragon patterns, and Emperor Jing's imperial seal was impressively on it!Zhang Lan and Sun Qi looked at each other in blank dismay for a while, thinking about each other's plans, but they both refused to make up their minds first.

Mu Yan slowly received the imperial decree, sang a fat promise to Zhang Lan and Sun Qi, stood up and clasped his fists and said, "My lords, please go back. Mu Yan will not disgrace the sacred order, and escort King Ning back to Beijing safely."

"slow!"

"What advice does your lord have?"

After hesitating, the scout came to report: "Report! General Zhang and General Liu sent messengers to see you!"

"What about General Zhang and General Liu? Make it clear!"

"General Zhang Wei, Captain of Qinzhou, and General Liu Mingqi, Captain of Yongzhou!"

"...What are they doing here?!"

"It is said that it is to support King Ning to enter the capital!"

Zhang Lan and Sun Qi glanced at each other, both secretly sighed, completely lost their energy.

"grown ups?"

When Mu Yan asked, Zhang Lan waved his hands weakly.After Mu Yan saluted, he signaled the guards to change into guard formation, protecting Sima Yi and preparing to leave.

Sima Yi raised his hand to stop the crowd: "Master Zhang, please return Li Zhang's bodyguard to me."

Zhang Lan made a gesture and looked around: "I don't know what Li Zhang's guards are there. Do you guys know?"

There was no sound.Zhang Lan spread her arms and said apologetically, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will find out when I get back. Please!"

Sima Yi stared at Zhang Lan for a long time, and said coldly: "In that case, I will trouble Mr. Zhang. He belongs to my king. If there is any damage, I will definitely get it back!" His voice was cold He was firm and ruthless, with undeniable dominance, sweeping away his unruly and embarrassed appearance, showing an innate majesty, which made Zhang Lan couldn't help but secretly shudder.

After Sima Yi left, Zhang Lan stayed for a long time before thinking about Li Zhang. Suddenly he was worried that he had been beaten to death.He sat down slumped, remembering the days and nights of intense chasing, sleep and eating, but the result of falling short, he suddenly felt so stunned that he couldn't breathe, and he didn't have the strength to move anymore.

Sun Qi ordered the soldiers to cut back bamboo and rattan and tie them into sliding poles, and carried Zhang Lan back to Luo County. Li Zhang, who was unconscious, was also tied to his horse and brought back to Luo County.

After Mu Yan appeared, Ling Yuncong avoided suspicion and hid behind him. Later, thinking of Li Zhang, he hurried back to stop the soldiers who still did not stop. Li Zhang had already slumped on the ground and did not move.After Sima Yi left, Ling Yuncong returned to the station with the Dingxi Army. Zhang Lan still reported him to Sima Yao afterwards, and pushed the main responsibility for releasing Sima Yi on him.After Ling Yuncong went back, he was locked up by Gao Yuan, waiting for the prince's further disposal.

After Sima Yi returned to the capital, he was immediately imprisoned by the crown prince on the charge of killing the imperial court official on the charge of Luo Zhi.Because Mu Yan and a group of generals stared at him to death, Cheng Tong couldn't openly attack Sima Yi in prison, so he worked hard on Luo Zhi's charges. Not only did he find many officials who knew Zhao Qinan well to complain about him, but he also found the original Zhao Qinan's men, who pretended to be Miao people, chased and killed Sima Yi, made them insist that Sima Yi arranged for them to do this drama of blaming the master.Mi Zun, the captain of Ningzhou, was also dismissed as an accomplice and taken back to the capital for trial. Li Zhang, who was directly involved in the case, became the most direct witness in the case. Cheng Tong has never been satisfied.

Cheng Tong couldn't figure out how the seemingly weak Li Zhang could carry it so well. After investigating Li Zhang's background in many ways, he asked Li's family to find Hui Huiwen and arranged a good show of mother and son meeting.

Gu Wen was very worried after Li Zhang left Beijing. Li Fengzhi's household department was originally Sima Yao's old subordinate. Seeing that Sima Yi had completely lost power at this time, he didn't look good towards Gu Wen.She was originally weak, and then she was abused by the Li family, and she couldn't get sick by the end of the year.At first, she still thought about Li Zhang being strong enough to support herself, and when she met her sister Gu Xiu, she cheered up and said that she would wait for Li Zhang to come back. After the year, the eldest grandma in the mansion got married, and the Li family thought that she was ill for a long time, and they were afraid of a collision. The pregnant woman drove her to Baoen Temple to pray for blessings.Although Baoen Temple is a place of Buddhism, there are also secular snobbish people, and it is not good to entertain abandoned women like Gu Wen. Not only is there a shortage of doctors and medicines, but also has to do a lot of chores in daily life.Gu Wen has been dragged to the point of death by now, and he won't last much longer.For fear that Li Zhang would be worried, she kept hiding it from him. Then she suddenly heard that Li Zhang was back, and the Li family asked her to meet her.Unexpectedly, after tossing and turning and waiting all night, what I saw was Li Zhang who was tortured to the brink of death!

Gu Wen lost his temper at that time.

Since Li Zhang was escorted to Beijing by Zhang Lan, he was forced to admit that he was sent by Sima Yi to frame Zhao Qinan. He didn't know why, and he no longer concealed it. He honestly told the original purpose of entering the Zhao Mansion, but the result was naturally not as good as others In a few words, the punishment began.Yao Taiqing's gold needle on his body has not been taken out, the acupoint where the needle was inserted has long been red and swollen, and the pain is unbearable in normal actions, and it will be several times more painful if he is tortured.He didn't know how he got through it day by day, he just held his breath and refused to be that mad dog that bit people.

He didn't know that his mother would come.When he was interrogated that day, he did not go to the gloomy torture hall, but was taken into a wing room. Without saying a word, several people came and stripped off his prison clothes that had been beaten to pieces and stuck to his wound, and then he was immersed in a bathtub whole.His right leg, which was severed by the pincers, was crushed so hard that it broke into the flesh, and immediately he was dizzy with pain, and then he was rubbed hard with cloth towels in his hands, rubbing into the wound as if he wanted to pull out a layer of flesh, and then again. Couldn't stand it anymore, passed out.When he woke up again, his hands were still tossing on his body, but he had already changed into clean prison clothes, and even his withered, yellow and messy hair was combed and tied into a bun.He didn't have the strength to think about the reason, and he didn't notice that the presiding judge, Dali Siqing Chengzhe, who had been sitting on the side, didn't turn his eyes a little blankly until he opened his mouth to speak.

Cheng Zhe was the same as Zhao Qinan back then, he had contempt for Li Zhang when he saw Li Zhang for the first time, although Li Zhang has long since lost his human appearance, he himself has trouble sleeping and eating under the pressure, he is no better than Li Zhang Where to go.At this moment, I sat on the sidelines and watched the bucket of water was dyed red after the yamen servants finished tossing, but Li Zhang became neat and refreshed. Only then did he realize that he was actually very good-looking, with slender black eyebrows, a delicate and delicate nose, and The out-of-focus eyes are dark, and the long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on the pale and delicate face. The whole person looks very quiet and soft, making it impossible for people to connect him with the bloody pain, but he is hard with himself. It's been so long!

A strong sense of frustration welled up in Cheng Zhe's heart. In order to divert the embarrassment, he said casually, "Li Shiwei has been suffering these days. His Royal Highness is benevolent. Knowing that Li Shiwei's mother is filial, he specially ordered me to invite you Here comes Mrs. Gu. King Ning took the plunder that day, causing Li Shiwei's mother and son to be separated. Now that King Ning has accumulated evil, it has been pushed down by everyone. Li Shiwei should think about the future for himself and his mother, why should he give up so much? Stubborn!"

The clean prison clothes that Li Zhang had just put on were soaked in cold sweat again, and the unbandaged wounds also ooze blood again, so that the prison clothes became mottled and dignified again.He has been enduring the excruciating pain awakened by the execution-like cleansing of the yamen servant, and he has not noticed that there are other people in the room. Hearing what Cheng Zhe said at this time, he barely raised his head in shock, his lips trembling He said, but he could not utter the word "no", struggling so anxiously that he was about to get off the ground.

Cheng Zhe signaled others to hold him down, got up and brushed his clothes, and said coolly, "You don't have to be so impatient, Guard Li, Mrs. Gu is already waiting outside, so I won't hinder your mother and son from seeing each other."

Li Zhang watched Cheng Zhe take people out, then saw his mother come in with a face full of anxiety, and then turned pale when he saw him clearly, and fainted on the ground. The tears that flowed welled up, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop it...
