Li Zhang

After Li Zhang sent Ling Yuncong's family away, he went back to make porridge for his mother and simmered it on the charcoal stove before returning to his office.As soon as he entered the room, he saw the dark guard Baishan appearing from the shadows, silently bowing and saluting.Li Zhang was stunned, and then explained to Bai Shan: "I will tell the prince myself about Ling Yuncong."

"Bai Shan didn't come here for this matter. What Bai Shan wants to say is that the news about the prince he found out last night is no longer in Baoen Temple today."

"The prince is also in Baoen Temple?" Li Zhang stopped in shock.

"Yes. The news that Shiba found out in the middle of the night could not be spread because the other hidden guards were transferred away. Due to his status, Shiba could only see the prince from a distance and could not continue to approach him. There is no trace. Eighteen is worried that the prince has left, so he came here to report."

"When did he confirm that the prince was in Baoen Temple?"

"Before and after Yinshi."

"Where's the location?"

"The abbot's courtyard."

Li Zhang really felt the seriousness of the problem now.The abbot's courtyard is at the right rear of the temple, not far from the corner gate where Ling Yuncong and the others left, and the cold breath he felt along the way also started from there and continued to the side of the carriage...

His heart was shaken, and he asked Bai Shan to quickly report to Jin Bai, and at the same time urgently reported to the commander of the forbidden army to go out of the city to pursue him.He chased after the city tower full of remorse, under the pale winter sun, the endless desolate fields, but there was no trace of the carriage!

Soon, the Dingdong Army in the city gathered and marched towards Gujiazhuang together with the Dingnan Army stationed outside the city.Li Zhang stood on the tower and watched until the army completely disappeared, and then walked down the tower in a daze.

There were four serious-looking imperial guards standing under the city. Li Zhang stopped unexpectedly, and let them tie up with his arms behind his back.The imperial guard tied it up silently, and said in a low voice: "The prince is very angry, Governor Li, please take care of yourself."

Li Zhang lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes: "I know."

The imperial guards took Li Zhang back to the palace under the order of Sima Yi.Li Zhang looked at the empty and lonely palace, with mixed feelings in his heart.

After Sima Yi was convicted of the crime at the beginning, the royal palace in Beijing was also sealed up, and all the servants, concubines, concubines in the palace were made official slaves, and they were sold for a lot of money.The concubine and the little prince were temporarily preserved because they were tightly protected by Concubine Mi.After Sima Yi got out of trouble, the city was filled with a lot of things, and every time Dingxi and Dingnan armies besieged the city, Sima Yi stayed in the barracks all the time, and had no time to take care of the palace.On the way back to Beijing, Feng Yu, who was stranded due to illness and survived the disaster, found himself in the barracks. He was seriously injured while defending the city, and then he moved back to the palace according to Jin Bai's intention. , It is not the same as the prosperity and beauty of that day.

Sima Yi was seriously injured this time. The arrow wound on his chest was located in a dangerous position. Even Jin Bai's master was a little bit tied up, and he reluctantly buried the bait to stop the bleeding and promote muscle growth. After repeated for a long time, it was only now that the scabs healed and healed. .After Jin Bai learned of the consequences of Li Zhang's private release of Ling Yuncong, he wanted to hide it from Sima Yi, but the news that the secret guard continued to send back was the meeting of Sima Yao and Dingxi Army.He had no choice but to let out a long sigh and tell Sima Yi everything.Sima Yi was really angry when he heard the report, causing the arrow wound to relapse, Feng Yu cried and swollen his eyes, and Jin Bai broke out in a cold sweat, and didn't dare to defend Li Zhang for a while.

Li Zhang was brought into the side hall of Zhenlong Garden. As soon as the imperial guards left, Feng Yu rushed in like crazy, raised his hand and slapped Li Zhang staggeringly back several steps.

"Your Majesty!"

Feng Yu glared, her lips trembled slightly, and she pointed at Li Zhang's face with her fingers, her chest rose and fell continuously, showing that she was very angry.

Li Zhang bit his lower lip hard, lowered his eyes, and knelt down on his knees.

Feng Yu slapped Li Zhang hard again, messing up Li Zhang's bun and bleeding from the corners of his lips.

"You did it on purpose! You and Ling Yuncong are in the same group! You hate the prince for treating you like that and let the prince go on purpose! Tell me! Are you right?!"

Feng Yu gritted her teeth and nodded at Li Zhang, poking Li Zhang's forehead with her fingertips.Li Zhang still lowered his eyes, but shook his head resolutely: "No!"

"It's not why you did this! Ling Yuncong designed to frame the prince, which is an unforgivable crime! How dare you let him go?! You have never had a prince in your eyes! You have always hated him! You and Ling Yuncong are simply a couple My white-eyed wolf!"

Li Zhang blamed himself very much at first, but at this time, Feng Yu distorted and accused him sentence by sentence, but it aroused his rebellious heart.He raised his eyes and looked directly at Feng Yu, regardless of the pain in his mouth, he asked Feng Yu: "Should I hate the prince? Even if Ling Yuncong is wrong, if the prince knows how to be cautious, he will not be like this..."

"So, it's all the king's fault?"

Sima Yi didn't know when he stood outside the door, his hand holding the door frame showed bruises, he didn't know whether it was from pain or anger, his bloodless and pale face was full of hatred and sadness, it was more shocking than the usual coldness.

Li Zhang shut his mouth immediately.

"Say it! Listen to me, my lord! Tell me how you hate me, and why Ling Yuncong is justifiable! This lord really forgot that you are brothers, so naturally you will be more understanding!"

Li Zhang pressed his lips tightly.

Feng Yu and the accompanying servant helped Sima Yi onto the soft couch, Sima Yi was drenched in cold sweat, and the ruptured wound was bleeding again.With a trembling voice, Feng Yu ordered someone to fetch the medicine belt, carefully changed it for Sima Yi, and then put on dry clothes.

Sima Yi was exhausted after all the hard work, he leaned against the soft couch and closed his eyes, his expression was extremely tired and lonely.Feng Yu gouged out Li Zhang's eyes, not daring to disturb Sima Yi, and told the servant to wait with all his heart, while he was busy going out to stare at people and cook medicine and prepare meals.

Li Zhang bowed his head and knelt silently, returning to the past in a trance.It's just that I am no longer who I was back then, and even the prince is no longer completely the prince of the past.He thought about the conversation in the imperial prison, every word was a reciprocal heart-breaking speech, which made him unable to say what he just said just now.

The prince, he must be extremely distressed, right?

Even I already hated my cousin's ruthlessness.

However, there is still a secret, right?

Even my uncle came in.

aunt……

He suddenly realized that his aunt on the carriage talked a lot, talking nonsense all the way, but his uncle and cousin never said a word.

He thought of Ling Yuncong taking the lead without realizing it, and he was even more stunned.

It was because I was too stupid that things changed to this point!

After thinking it over, Li Zhang couldn't support his shoulders anymore, and his shoulders slumped.

"What? Can't tell?"

After an unknown amount of time, Sima Yi, who regained some energy, spoke coldly again, the sadness on his face had faded, replaced by his usual coldness and harshness.

Li Zhang raised his head, no longer avoided Sima Yi's gaze, and sincerely admitted his mistake: "This subordinate is negligent in his duty! This subordinate is careless and ignorant and does not pay attention to the details, which made things like this. This subordinate's crime is unforgivable, so I am willing to admit it!"

Sima Yi narrowed his eyes: "You still speak for him?"

"This subordinate has figured it out just now. Cousin, he is still being coerced by others. It is the subordinate who was blinded by family affection and failed to find out the difference."

"Blinded by family affection... Is it your mother?"

"No!"

"If your mother didn't intervene, they wouldn't be able to catch up with you!"

"My mother and aunt have been close since childhood."

"I have been close since I was a child! I have been close to my son since I was a child?!"

"The subordinate himself promised it!"

"Women's kindness!"

"My lord please punish my subordinates for their crimes!"

Sima Yi panted heavily angrily, stared at Li Zhang and said nothing.

When he first heard about it, he was really furious, but after resting for a while, he somewhat understood what Li Zhang was thinking, and he was even more heartbroken towards Ling Yuncong.He believed in Li Zhang's reasoning, but it made him even more intolerable.When the situation has completely turned against him, Ling Yuncong still refuses to believe in his ability, and repeatedly betrays him to protect his family, which is really unbearable!He thought of Sima Yao coldly, and urgently needed to catch him back so that Ling Yuncong could see clearly his mistakes!

But under the pressure of the army, Sima Yao still fled to Yizhou under the cover of the Dingxi Army.Under the leadership of Ling Feng, the Dingxi Army, which had fallen behind to stop the enemy, insisted on resisting for ten days.Ten days later, Ling Feng, who was bleeding through his armor and was almost a bare general, refused to surrender. He rushed into the enemy line alone and was stabbed to death by random guns.

Emperor Jing was shocked when he found out, and regretted Ling Feng's fall. He thought about the extermination of the Mu family that he had never been able to let go of, and was even more distressed by the result of his brother's fighting against the wall. He was full of depression and had nowhere to vent his anger. , so that Sima Yi must be dealt with severely, and his attitude was so severe that he meant to blame Li Zhang for all his faults.

Sima Yiben also regretted Ling Feng's death very much. When he thought of Ling Yuncong, he didn't know whether to hate or pity him, but he hated Sima Yao even more, and he hated Li Zhang too much.But he couldn't accept the result of allowing Li Zhang to re-enter Dali Temple for trial. As long as he thought of it, Li Zhang was dying in front of him. How could he accept the meaning of Zhang Yu's death!

So he put Li Zhang in the dungeon of the palace, but he didn't allow anyone to execute him privately. He even sent someone to buy a brazier and quilt to make Li Zhang reflect on his mistakes.Emperor Jing intervened several times, but he refused to hand over Li Zhang to Dali Temple on the grounds that Li Zhang belonged to him and it was an unintentional mistake, which provoked the relapse of Emperor Jing's unfinished poison.

On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Sima Yi, who entered the palace to accompany Concubine Jingdi to worship his deceased mother, had a complete stalemate with Emperor Jing.Emperor Jing immediately summoned the guards to restrain Sima Yi's actions, and went to the palace to detain Li Zhang.Sima Yi angrily resisted the emperor's order, broke out of the palace, intercepted the guards outside the gate of the palace, and performed another martial arts show.Emperor Jing was so angry that he vomited blood immediately, and fainted; Concubine Mi, who had never spoken harshly to Sima Yi, trembled with anger, and cried so hard at her sister's tablet.Sima Yi, who was in a madness, finally woke up, looking at the drowsy and weak father and the haggard and old concubine Mi's chests were full of thorns, no matter how they let go, their hearts were bloody, and the pain was unbearable.

He buried his head in the wine jar until he was so drunk that he didn't know anyone, and refused to see anyone.After Emperor Jing woke up, he issued an imperial decree, ordering Sima Yi to personally escort Li Zhang to Dali Temple for trial, otherwise he would be treated as a crime of private indulgence!The compassionate concubine Mu Yan came to persuade him, Jin Bai who came with him was silent for a long time, and also advised Sima Yi to look at the present first.

Sima Yi was indifferent and speechless, he staggered out of the palace and returned to the mansion, he threw away Feng Yu who rushed forward with his eyes straight, and rushed into the dungeon.

Li Zhangyong was sitting on the floor, and when he saw Sima Yi's appearance, he stood up immediately in shock.

Sima Yi was dressed in sloppy clothes, with a mustache all over his face, staring straight at Li Zhang with a pair of eyes, reeking of alcohol.

Li Zhang immediately had a bad premonition, and carefully called "Prince", trying to call back Sima Yi's reason.

Sima Yi's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then they brightened up again. His eyes, which were so hot as if they could burn people, gave Li Zhang the idea of ​​running away.

Li Zhang really moved.

As soon as Li Zhang moved, Sima Yi followed suit.

The small dungeon completely turned into a cage, and Li Zhang found sadly that he was trapped in it with no way out.

When Sima Yi restrained Li Zhang, Li Zhang called out "Prince" vigorously, shaking his head desperately with eyes full of shock and anger.Sima Yi suddenly felt a pain in his heart, but he still ruthlessly let him down.

What a strength!Like a kitten with teeth and claws.

Aren't you asleep?Why are there so many clothes!

full of scars...

so thin!

Why are you still so skinny!

It hurts my bones.

heat!

so hot!

Melt yourself in general.

Heart warmed.

don't stare at me like that...

My heart hurts!

give it to me!

Well!

He even bit me!

How cruel!

Forget that he is no longer a kitten but a leopard!

leopard……

my leopard...

mine!

Always mine!

It finally calmed down.The uproar in the heart and mind was quieted down.The body below was as hot as charcoal fire, and suddenly everything became clear.

Li Zhang...

hurt him again.

I don't know if he is willing to forgive...

but--

Peace of mind...

Peace of mind.

The author has something to say:

So they became enemies again...

It should be reasonable, for Sima Yi?

PS: Wen Xiu, Li Zhang is abusive here, but the written words really can’t make the text feel coherent, so I had to abandon it.Just make up your own mind~ I'm starting to worry that Li Zhang is really going to become a strong man. I really don't have time for him to recuperate during this journey.Sigh~~
