I write a eulogy every day for the person beside my pillow

Li Li almost thought he had heard wrong.

Xutu actually wanted him to stay?do what?

Li Li thought this was another trick of Xutu, but if it was a trick, Xutu wouldn't just let a guard come back and say such inexplicable words.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Huang Zhengqian yelled at the guard without hesitation. After he finished speaking, his expression shrank obviously, as if he had just realized that this was someone else's territory. Said, "He is just a fellow, he can't march or fight, what does your king want him to do?"

The guard shook his head expressionlessly, "I'm just conveying the meaning of the king, and I don't know the rest."

At this time, Li Yu said: "Please go back and tell your king, this guy grew up with me, and he has a deep relationship, so I'm sorry."

Seeing Li Yu's refusal, the guard said, "If you change your mind, you can find me at the nearby official post at any time."

Li Yu made a gesture of seeing off the guest with a calm expression, and the guard left reluctantly.

Li immediately walked up to Brother Huang and gave him a puzzled look.

I saw his imperial brother standing in front of the window, staring deeply at the back of the guard who sent the message.

"Drink some wine to warm up your body, it's very cold outside."

It was late at night, and everyone was sound asleep.

Holding a soup pot in his left hand and two bowls in his right hand, Li Yu came to the backyard where firewood was piled up in the hotel.

A pair of sharp and bright eyes flashed in the darkness, accompanied by rustling noises, someone jumped down from the wall, a small oil lamp was lit, and the wick twisted with the fine wind and sand, like a waist Willows, graceful people dancing gracefully.

Li Yu stared blankly at the dancing flames, with sadness in his eyes, but he was still holding a heavy soup pot in one hand, and he didn't feel tired when half of his shoulders were crushed, so he looked a little naive.

Li Li was surprised by the arrival of the emperor's brother, but he quickly took materials from around him, made a simple futon with hay, and placed it under the emperor's body.

After taking the soup pot and wine bowl, Li Li placed them on the rickety low table, making a small "crack" sound.

Li Yu trembled as if frightened, then crossed his legs onto the futon, and poured wine for Li Li.

Li Li covered the empty bowl with his palm, and refused: "Brother, it's a mistake to drink, and I have to watch the night for everyone."

Although they escaped the interrogation of Xiaobing and Xu Tu today, they still can't take it lightly. As long as they don't leave the city for a day, Li Li will have to guard for a day.

The backyard of this hotel has been deserted for a long time, but the road seen from squatting on the top of the wall extends all the way to the end, which is the city gate.

Seeing that Li Li refused to drink, Li Yu didn't insist, put down the soup pot and asked, "Brother, how are you observing here?"

"Brother, I really have gained something."

Li Li lowered his voice, his eyes glowed with excitement, "I've seen it, the city gate guards here take turns every three days, and every time the guards on duty have to go to the main building in the middle of the city gate for handover, the guards on the west side of the city wall The sentry post is the farthest from the main building, and it takes at least half an hour for the soldiers there to go back and forth, and this half hour happens to be unattended."

"You mean..." Li Yu thought for a while, frowning, "You want us to climb over the city wall within half an hour?"

"Brother, don't panic. The city wall looks high, but it actually has a lot of strength. The 16 of us turned over at night, and half an hour is enough." Li Li glanced at Brother Huang and teased, "Brother, don't you won't you be able to climb?"

"Joke," Li Yu argued, "Is my young Dahao Erlang still unable to deal with a wall?"

"It's just..." Li Yu seemed a little embarrassed, "I'm not worried about the skills of the warriors under my command, and I'm not worried about your skills either. Mr. Yue should be able to crawl by practicing Wu Qinxi every day. It's Mrs. Huang... Master Huang is too lazy to do it. I'm afraid he'll climb halfway and fall down again."

"It's a big deal, I'll tie him with me with a rope, and I'll go with him on my back?" After Li Li finished speaking, his eyes rolled and he looked at Brother Huang with a smile, "Brother, you are Master Huang's favorite student. , to say that he is lazy, huh?"

Li Yu looked like a broken can, and added fuel and vinegar: "Not only that, but Master Huang is also very stubborn and prudish. He dozed off while teaching and teaching, but he didn't allow me to read some folk tales. You were punished for me last time, he wanted to hit your palm, and his left hand was so swollen that it wasn’t enough, and he asked you to stretch out your right hand to continue beating, it must be so painful.”

Li Li remembered this incident, but the imperial brother who was punished was not there, he thought that the imperial brother didn't know.

Li Li's expression revealed what he was thinking, Li Yu smiled and said, "You think I don't know, but in fact I know everything, otherwise how could you get such a good wound medicine with only one person from Toad Palace?"

Li Li thought of that jar of ointment with a faint fragrance of magnolia. The ointment was as white and soft as lard, and even the small jar used to hold the ointment was carefully fired, moist like jade. Lake cyan.

The emotion of gratitude arises spontaneously, but it is not pure, and there is also a trace of resentment.

It turns out that Brother Huang already knew that he was not doing well, so why didn't he come to help him earlier?Brother Huang has everything, obviously, as long as he casually spills out a little bit, it is enough for him and Toad Palace to deal with the burnt-out days.

Suddenly, Li Li felt how despicable his thoughts were, and he should remember and repay the goodness of others bit by bit, instead of greedily wanting more.

At this moment, the shame in Li Li's heart overwhelmed all emotions, he lowered his head, not daring to look directly into the sincere eyes of his brother.

"Brother, you have always treated me the best." Li Li moved his feet uncomfortably, "I can't repay you."

"Don't say that." Li Yu's voice sounded above Li Li's head, "Brother still has something to ask."

A gust of wind hit, and the fragile wick flame was almost wiped out.

Li Li hurriedly moved closer and blocked the flames with his hands. When he raised his head, he saw Brother Huang's face very close at hand.

That face was smiling at him, gentle and pure, able to blow away all the haze.

Li Li: "Brother, what can I do for you?"

Li Yu patted on the shoulder lightly, "Go back and be my right-hand man, no one will dare to bully you from now on."

Those eyes were full of trust in Li Li.

Li Li's nose was slightly sour, and after thinking for a long time, he dared to say "good" calmly.

The two sat down again, and Li Yu talked to him about his ambitions. His voice was very low, but he clenched his fists tightly and his back was straight.

Li Li could see that his elder brother was going to be a good emperor who worked hard to govern.

However, many of the serious illnesses mentioned by Brother Huang are related to the big clans. With them, Brother Huang can't show his strength.

Since Li Li has decided to be the right-hand man of the emperor's brother, he doesn't mind making a murder knife in the dark to cut off the way ahead for him.

Li Yu saw that he had said so much, but Li Li remained silent, so he asked, "Brother, what are your ambitions?"

Li Li propped one elbow on the ground, leaned up halfway, raised his eyes to see the bright stars in the sky, and said with a smile: "When my elder brother's wish is fulfilled, my younger brother will go to build a pasture and raise two hundred yaks and two hundred lambs. Wield the whip every day, and drive them to graze here today, and drive them there tomorrow where the water and grass are abundant, and whoever is disobedient will follow behind it."

Marching outside, I once saw a herdsman, hula la, followed by a group of lambs, the herdsman hummed and wanted to drink, but there were always a few lambs, standing on the cliff without seeing it, gnawing the grass idly, mouth He chewed and chewed, and looked at Li Li below with his old eyes.

Li Li thought it was funny at the time, and remembered this scene. Later, when he thought about it, he always put himself into the perspective of a shepherd, thinking about how to manage the disobedient lamb.

Probably, he yearned for such a life.

Li Yu looked at Li Li speechlessly. After a while, he silently lifted the soup pot and filled both wine bowls.

"Brother?" Didn't you say that you should not drink?

Li Yu glanced at him, couldn't help laughing, and pointed to the wine bowl, "The store must give me goat's milk wine, and I don't like to drink this kind of thing. Since you want to be a sheep herder, you can't even drink goat's milk wine, right?"

"No, bro, are you serious?"

"Drink both bowls, not a single drop is left." Li Yu stretched out two fingers and waved them deliberately in front of Li Li.

"Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Li Li thought that he was not bad at drinking, so it was okay to drink, so he drank the two bowls of wine helplessly.

However, in the faint flames, Li Li saw the emperor's brother crying.

He didn't understand and wanted to ask.

Brother Huang got up first and entered the room. Li Li looked at his smaller and smaller back, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.

Li Li didn't know when he woke up.

The drink was drugged, and ordinary people might not be aware of it, but Li Li was a very light sleeper. Even if he fell asleep, he would wake up immediately when he heard something, so the effect of the sleeping drug on Li Li was only Cashed in half.

Unfortunately, although he woke up, his body was still unable to move, and he could only lie down like a living dead.

He has been carried from the outside into the room and put on a bed.

There were scattered footsteps and the sound of packing bags in front of the bed.

Li Li gradually judged that these people were Brother Huang, Huang Zhengqian and Yue Qingbai.

Huang Zhengqian packed up the things and piled them on the table one by one.

Li Yu just sat, quietly watching Huang Zhengqian go about his business.

"Your Highness, the old ministers have all packed up, please check if there are any omissions."

"Nothing."

"Teacher Huang, are we really like this?" Yue Qingbai's voice was full of anxiety.

"This is a last resort!" Huang Zhengqian said angrily, "Sacrificing one person in exchange for the eternal state of the Lan Dynasty, if we can exchange the old minister with the fourteenth prince, why not?"

Yue Qingbai: "It's not impossible, the odds of winning over the city wall are great."

"Is the Lord's safety a joke? No accidents are allowed to happen." Huang Zhengqian said anxiously, "Hurry up and send someone to find the guard during the day, and tell him that he has already left him, and just ask for a warrant to leave the city. good."

Yue Qingbai turned to Li Yu and said, "Your Highness, I ask you to think twice."

Li Yu said quietly: "Master Yue, I miss Mu Ting, I am afraid that I will never see her again. You are her father, you must not want to make her sad."

Yue Qingbai made no more noise, and after a while, he pushed open the door.

No one was in the mood to pay attention to Li Li who was unconscious on the bed.

But if anyone got close, they would see Li Li's tightly closed eyes, the wet black eyelashes trembling, and tears rolling down from the corners of his eyes, soaking the pillow towel.
