It's hard to seal a fool

Before the spies Song Qingming sent to inquire about Liang's news came back, Ning Rong's carrier pigeon had already arrived. He opened the bamboo tube to read the note, and was stunned for a moment, turning his head to look at Song Qingming.

"What's the matter, talk, how is Zhao Xina?" Song Qingming walked back and forth with his hands on his waist, exhaling white air from his mouth, once the safety of Liang land was ensured, all he had to do was to chase after the retreating rebels.He rubbed his hands and was in a good mood.

However, Ning Rong did not respond for a long time.Song Qingming stopped in his tracks, and his smile gradually faded. "What's up with him?"

"Report—" The orderly hurriedly came to report.

"I'll talk about it later!" Song Qingming waved his hands and retreated.

"But, it's the guards next to Prince Xian..."

Song Qingming rushed out, outside the tent, Haiyan was covered in blood, with a broken arm, standing there looking at him.He suddenly staggered back a step.

"Song San Gongzi, Yancheng has fallen. The prince asked me to escape to report the news at the end."

"Zhao Xi has been captured." Behind him, Ning Rong put his shoulders. "The news came from our people in the Jin army that he wanted to commit suicide but gave up in the end. He was seriously injured. I don't know if he can survive."

hum-

Song Qingming's head felt like being hit by a heavy hammer, and he could no longer hear clearly what Ning Rong was saying.

"All the food in Yancheng was burned by Zhao Xi, and the rebels had no energy left to attack the next city, so they were forced to retreat."

"Even if he survives, King Jin will not let him go."

"When did it happen?" Song Qingming turned around, his face suddenly turned pale, everyone looked at each other silently, he suddenly said, "I asked you when did it happen!"

"last night."

The tinnitus kept ringing in his ears, Song Qingming froze and looked at Yancheng in the distance, his eyes were blank.

It turned out that Zhao Xi had already been captured last night.

It was only one night away, but after all, he couldn't catch up.

"how so……"

He vowed that he would not abandon Liangdi, and said that he would take the third way, but until Zhao Xi was forced to commit suicide in despair, he was still celebrating the retreat of the rebels with his soldiers.

Song Qingming suddenly smiled, and with a smile, everything around him became hazy.He suddenly turned around with his face covered, staggered and then bent down, only his shoulders were trembling slightly.

From the very beginning, he was thinking that if there was a choice between Jiaguo Dayi and Zhao Xi, he would definitely choose Zhao Xi.

So when Old General Ning died, God gave him the opportunity to choose.But he abandoned Zhao Xi and chose to guard the granary on the shitty grain cutting road.

He laughed at himself again, because when he returned to that time, he would still make such a choice!

But he was not reconciled, he cried out in pain.

"Song Qingming! Where are you going, Song Qingming!"

Suddenly, Zhao Xi suddenly opened his eyes.

The dungeon was dark and damp, and in the corners, dripping drops of water dripped down.As soon as Zhao Xi moved, he felt his whole body being dragged and hurt. He turned his head and saw Qin Shou was stitching up the wound in the dark.

"Don't move, I was captured too. Song Qingming is fine. He is fine. I heard that the troops in Cangzhou City have withdrawn." Qin Shou didn't give him a chance to speak, and his hands moved quickly. "King Jin only asked me to save you from surviving, he didn't tell you to wake up, just let me pretend to be asleep later."

Zhao Xi lowered his eyes and saw a pile of unfamiliar tools beside him, as well as needles inserted into the tubes.

He spoke with a hoarse voice. "You have a lot of secrets."

"That's right, for my brother's happiness, but took out all the housekeeping money." Qin Shou sighed, "Use less of these things."

Suddenly there was the sound of iron chains clinking outside, Qin Shou hurriedly patted Zhao Xi and put away his things.Before the people arrive, the sound has arrived first.

"Zhao Xi!" Jin Wang walked down from the dungeon, rolled up his sleeves and came murderously.

Qin Shou couldn't stop him in time, Zhao Xi was suddenly and roughly dragged out, shackled and bound with ropes, and hung on a rack in the dark. His long gown was stained with blood, showing numerous scars on his wrists, and a glaring bloodstain on his neck. .

"Prince Jin, the virtuous prince can't bear to toss about." Qin Shou shouted from the prison door.

Zhao Bisi rushed forward, grabbed a whip and dropped it suddenly. "Tell you to burn food and grass! Tell me! Have you already sent a secret message to Song Qingming, and the two of you have responded well!"

Zhao Pisi rolled up his whip and forced Zhao Xi to raise his head, but Zhao Xi let out a "poof" and smiled contemptuously at King Jin.

He burned all the food and grass in the city. The army and the 40 logistics troops had been hungry for many days. Even if Yancheng was captured, it would be an empty city and could only be forced to retreat. How could Zhao Bisi not hate it.

"Zhao Xi, Zhao Xi!" Qin Shou heard a voice outside shouting hastily, but it was through the cell door.An and Huanpei walked over in a tinkling manner, and glanced lightly at Qin Shou in the prison.

help him.Qin Shou grasped the body of the column and anxiously made mouth shapes.

"More than ten days ago, the news has not come in." Zhao Xi laughed ironically, "It seems that my family burned your food during the Qingming Festival. No wonder you are in a hurry to ask for food, but I just happened to burn it. I am really sorry .”

"Zhao Xi——" Zhao Pisi's eyes were red with anger, and the iron whip swung down with vigor, and the dull sound of hitting the flesh made Qin Shou in the prison tremble. "This king let you rape! The one who is captured now is you!"

Zhao Xi clenched his fingertips tightly, he lowered his head and hummed, but bit the blood on his lips.

Zhao Bisi laughed back in anger, and scratched Zhao Xi's chin, his fingertips across the sword scar on his neck. "Aren't you capable? Don't you want to be a great hero? What, you still want to live if you can't fall with the last sword?"

On the top of the wall, Zhao Xi clearly wanted to kill himself, but in the end he just stopped.Naturally, Zhao Xi's life is the most suitable for Zhao Peisi, so it would be cheaper for him to die like this!

Zhao Bisi punched him, he had been holding back the anger for more than a month, he had to vent it, if it wasn't for Zhao Xi, he would have already put on a yellow robe and sat on the world at this moment, why did he retreat out of Liangdi!

Zhao Xi spit out a mouthful of blood foam and smiled softly.

King Jin grabbed his collar, "Why are you laughing!"

"Zhao Pisi, you must come here to humiliate this king now that you have run out of ammunition and food."

"Run out of ammunition and food?" Zhao Bisi also laughed. He let go of Zhao Xi, walked around a few steps, and suddenly rushed forward, grabbed his collar and said in a low voice, "This king tells you, this king There is no way you will lose."

Zhao Xi stopped talking again, he was not interested in provoking the angry King Jin now.

However, Zhao Pisi was even more angry. He also had the same surname as Zhao, but Zhao Xi was more willing to be loyal to the man on the throne; he was even more arrogant than him even though he was a prisoner now.

He has planned for many years to unite the five kings, who knows that those vassal kings are useless things, why everything in this world cannot go according to his ambitions, why even a prisoner can show him face now!

"Do you really think that the army has retreated in full?" Zhao Pisi threw away his whip, with a sick smile on his face, "Li Gou's men have already ambushed outside the city, and Song Qingming will definitely come to find you, and he can kill one of them." The coach can kill the second one."

Zhao Xi raised his face and fixedly looked at him.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm afraid." Zhao Bisi suddenly laughed again, "Even if I lose, I will hurt Zhao Jin's vitality—unless this king takes that position, Dawu will not It will be the Zhao family's world, let Yu Wenzhi, let Shan Yu, who is a barbarian, come and sit on these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!"

Zhao Xi sneered again, laughing at him for daydreaming and wishful thinking.

"Come here," Zhao Pisi had calmed down, he sat down on the chair, and sighed, "Zhao Xi, Zhao Xi, have you ever heard of punishment?"

Cruelly gouging out a person's knee and never being able to stand up again.

Zhao Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he remained silent.

Zhao Pisi snorted lightly, "Not yet on the dagger!"

The subordinates immediately stepped forward, the hand holding the dagger was still trembling, the dagger shone coldly, as it got closer and closer, Zhao Xi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him sharply.

The man dropped the dagger to the ground suddenly, and hurriedly picked it up again.Zhao Xi's eyes showed sarcasm again.

"Cut the one on the left first, be quick." King Jin urged.

Zhao Xi bound his hands and clenched his fists tightly, and the man shook his hands again and aimed the dagger at his knees, stabbing it down little by little.Bright red blood popped out instantly and flowed out along the white shirt. When the blade was bent, Zhao Xi raised his head in pain and let out a muffled sound.

An He watched indifferently, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

Qin Shou shook the prison door chain vigorously.

"Brother," she said suddenly, "If you dig your knee, you'll dig it, it's too cheap for him."

"Oh? What's your idea?"

The man who was executing the sentence stopped his hand immediately, and dared not move with his back to Zhao Bisi.

"It's better to break his leg, ask the doctor over there to connect it, and then break it again and again. It's a lot of fun. It's much more interesting than digging his knees." An He turned his waist and stopped to play. A look of indifference. "Wait for my brother to ascend to that position, and lock him up in a dungeon to torture him for decades, so there's no need to be in a hurry."

Zhao Bisi laughed loudly. "As expected of my sister, okay, just break his leg!"

The dagger was pulled out, spattering blood.The wooden stick was raised and hit Zhao Xi's leg hard.Qin Shou curled up inside the cell door, looking at An He through the gap.

An He turned her head as if sensing something, blinked at her, and slowly mouthed: Don't look at me like that, breaking a leg is much better than digging a knee.

"Madman." Qin Shou shrank his head back, and clenched his fists when he heard Zhao Xi's muffled moan.

Outside the prison door, there was finally a suppressed scream of pain.

Zhao Xi was finally dragged back, his face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, Qin Shou hurried over to cut the fabric on his leg, and administered a dose of anesthesia.

"It's okay, it's okay, it won't hurt soon." She comforted Zhao Xi in a low voice, and her hands kept moving. "Don't fall asleep."

Zhao Xi opened his eyes with difficulty, moved his lips, and finally said thank you.

"Why didn't you kill yourself in Yancheng?" Qin Shou was dealing with the wound, recalling their previous exchange, trying to say something to attract Zhao Xi's attention. "You should have expected the humiliation you would suffer after being captured."

"because……"

Zhao Xi was unconscious. He saw himself drawing his sword on the top of the wall to kill himself, but in the end the sword stopped there and could not fall.In a trance again, he seemed to see someone galloping on horseback from the distant horizon, alone, he went up to the city and cried bitterly.

Zhao Xi suddenly remembered that in the carriage the night before the expedition, he and Song Qingming kissed and lingered in the dark.The lanterns on the street were flickering, the carriage was rumbling on the cold road, the voice was low and hoarse in the darkness, the man whispered: I want you to live.

"Because...he wants me to live..."
