Tang's dining table

When Xu Jingzong saw Li Yifu, he was wearing a lot of clothes, almost wrapping himself into a ball with fur clothes.

Not only was he like this, but Zhou Xing and other jailers were also like this, and they wore all the clothes they could wrap themselves in.

Zhou Xing also arranged for people to pour water outside the prison. During the nine cold days, the water turned into ice. Soon, it was so cold that it was almost impossible to live in the prison.

Li Yifu leaned against the wall every day and smiled. Even though it was very uncomfortable to lean against the cold wall, he still leaned against the wall every day. It seemed that what was transmitted from the wall was not coldness, but warmth.

Seeing Xu Jingzong wrapped in a ball, Li Yifu opened his tongueless mouth and screamed at him.

Zhou Xing brought a stool, and Xu Jingzong sat down across the railing. He took out a heater from his arms and held it in his hands. He looked at Li Yifu and said, "I noticed it a little late."

Li Yifu had a smile on his face and looked very satisfied.

Xu Jingzong asked again: "Is this the escape path you have left for yourself?"

Li Yifu shook his head.

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "I can't figure it out. The fall of the Changsun clan was caused by you and me. You and I have a blood feud with the Changsun clan. What made you and the Changsun clan get together again?

Oh, maybe it was when Li Yifu took office as the deposed ambassador of Youzhou. At that time, you had the emperor's order to go to Hebei to resolve the civil unrest. At that time, you solved the problem very well. You quelled the rebellion in Hebei in half a year and was favored by His Majesty. The appreciation is beyond my expectation. After all, such a thing is completely beyond your ability.

I think, although the Changsun family was defeated, it did not die. There are still countless disciples of old officials in Hebei. Those people are eager to find a new backer. As for you, you also want to use these people to do things for you, so , you hit it off right away in Hebei, right? "

Li Yifu was still smiling. Although his dirt-covered old face was full of wrinkles, the smile on his face was genuine.

Xu Jingzong glanced at Li Yifu, closed his old eyes, and sighed: "You were trapped in Luoyang by a killer. When you called the sky and the earth failed, those people betrayed you again, didn't they?"

Li Yifu, who was originally smiling, heard the word "killer" emphatically spoken by Xu Jingzong. His eyes suddenly opened wide and he looked straight at Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong nodded and said: "You guessed it right. Although I don't know who arranged the killer gang named Qingyilou, but the killer gang that made you unable to advance or retreat later knew that the gang was Bai Qisi. The other group of people are Hwarang disciples. The former belongs to His Majesty and the latter belongs to the Queen. Therefore, it is not unfair for you to end up in such a situation.

After hearing this, Li Yifu was filled with indignation. He kept banging his head against the cold wall and roaring, as if he was trying hard to convey the news to Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong looked at Li Yifu's mouth movements seriously, looked at it for a moment and said, "It's not the prince, it should be Yun Chu's handiwork."

Li Yifu seemed to be very dissatisfied with Xu Jingzong's remarks and became even more angry.

Xu Jingzong shook his head and said, "It was Yun Chu who did it, and it has nothing to do with the prince."

Li Yifu's eyes were about to burst.

Xu Jingzong could only wave his hands and said: "Okay, okay, okay, Yun Chu is the prince's master, and it is reasonable for the disciple to take the blame for the master. If you say it is the prince, then it is the prince. There is no difference. For the sake of me, For the sake of coming here to see you, could you tell me if Changsun Chong is still alive?"

After Li Yifu heard this, he immediately regained his composure.

Xu Jingzong sighed and said: "That means he is still alive. It seems that Changsun Chong and his group were killed by bandits in Shu. It was also your handiwork, right? Li Yifu, you are so brave, you are not afraid of Changsun Chong jumping out to look for you." hatred?"

Li Yifu sneered.

Xu Jingzong sighed and said: "You are only half a hundred years old, why do you do the opposite? Look at me, even though I am over eighty years old, I am still sitting on the Diaoyutai, watching the clouds rise and fall in the sky. What are you doing? Are you in a hurry?

Oh, I almost forgot, before your Li Yifu moved to Yanting, your ancestral home was Raoyang, Yingzhou, and it was under Boling County, Hebei Province. You have the obligation to help the Changsun family in public and private matters.

Now that I think about it, it’s true. When you were planning the Changsun family, you were quite active at first, but then you were afraid to move forward. It seems that you have been shrinking from that time on.

In other words, you have never regarded yourself as an official of the Tang Dynasty, but are close to Hebei from the bottom of your heart. At this point, I can't understand. The Tang Dynasty is not kind to you, and your majesty and the queen are even more affectionate to you. Why are you here? "

Li Yifu laughed silently, crawled on the ground, opened his mouth and bit off a piece of ice from the wall, bit it in his mouth and continued to smile at Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong sighed and said: "In order to retaliate against Your Majesty, how could the people on both sides of the Yellow River deserve it?"

Li Yifu chewed the ice into pieces in a few mouthfuls, crunching, chewing, and swallowed it. His face, which was blue and blue from the cold, smiled brightly, but it was as hideous as a ghost.

Xu Jingzong kept watching Li Yifu silently. After waiting for a long time, seeing that Li Yifu's posture did not change at all, Zhou Xing stepped forward to test his breathing, only to find that this man was dead. "

Xu Jingzong took off a fur coat from his body, put it on Li Yifu tremblingly, and then said to Zhou Xing: "Li Yifu has confessed that he was the one who committed the killing in name, but in fact betrayed and released Changsun Chong. At the same time, he also communicated with Zhao The remnants of the governor's Sun family colluded and prepared to explode the ice of the Yellow River and create a freezing flood in order to murder Your Majesty."

week How many people are still colluding with him and intending to do unbearable things to His Majesty?"

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "Zhou Sima is as meticulous as a hair, and he sees things deeply. I admire him. You see, I am already in a coma. I only feel that Li Yifu is pitiful, but I have forgotten that he still has some remaining crimes to clear up."

After speaking, the boy who came with Xu Jingzong took off the fur clothes that Xu Jingzong had originally put on Li Yifu's body, and then helped Xu Jingzong out of the prison.

A round of daylight hangs in the sky outside the prison. Although it is not warm, it is bright. As for the winter floods that Li Yifu mistakenly believed did not happen, the ground is dry and peeling. This is not a good sign. The rain and snow in winter are too heavy. If there is less, I am afraid there will not be good moisture for farming next spring.

Xu Jingzong looked at the blue sky and murmured to himself: "It seems that any official born in Hebei will be in bad luck. Recently, old man Li Ji has been disrespectful to me, and I don't know what he is like." Will someone who was born in Lihu, Caozhou, Shandong, be influenced by his fellow Shandong clan members and change his mind?"

After Li Hong got the news from Xu Jingzong, he looked a little stupid. No one knew more about Chang Sun Chong's life and death than him, because when Master Yun Chu sent Yin Erhu to do things, he was there He had taken the initiative to come up with some bad ideas before. He couldn't figure out why such a smart person like Xu Jingzong could make such big mistakes. After all, he had sheltered eldest Sun Chong in the East Palace for five years.

No matter how you calculate it, Li Yifu cannot be blamed for Changsun Chong's escape.

After Yun Chu read the news about Xu Jingzong, he said to Li Hong, "Isn't that thoughtful?"

Li Hong nodded and said, "It's indeed thoughtful."

Yun Chu said: "Taizong felt that he was being served too considerately, so he never used him."

Li Hong smiled and said: "He can't be considerate for more than a few years."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "I bought two Silla maids from Luoyang this year. Although I can't sing and sing every night, I heard that if I don't have a beautiful woman to accompany me for three to five days, I won't want to sleep. I'm a truly gifted person."

This is the true secret of longevity. "

Li Hong said leisurely and fascinated: "I hope this disciple can still be so strong when he reaches his age."

Yun Chu chuckled and said, "I thought so too...hahaha."

After the laughter was over, Li Hong said to Yun Chu: "Master, will Changsun Chong appear here?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Probably not. When Changsun Chong fled, his hair was already full of white. The old god said that it was a symptom of mental fatigue and a loss of longevity. Now that so many years have passed, Changsun Chong may even pass away. .

It's possible that Chang Sun Chong's sons did this. You won't be soft-hearted to them this time, right? "

Li Hong shook his head and said: "Just because they want to murder my father, it is impossible to spare him."

Yun Chu said: "I thought you would say that just because he is planning to cause a flood to kill countless people on both sides of the Yellow River, we cannot let them go."

Li Hong shook his head and said: "It is better for me to talk more about the love between father and son at this time than to say that the world is for all."

Yun Chu said: "Sometimes, don't take the pros and cons too seriously. Your father is your father. No one can deny this. The relationship between father and son is innate. Don't use it as a weapon. It's best to let nature take its course."

Li Hong looked at the model of the Yellow River that had been frozen, and then at the white ice on both sides of the model. He stepped on the ice with his feet and said, "If we don't check, there should be countless innocent souls under the ice." .

This time, Gu has laid a dragnet on both sides of the Yellow River. No matter who comes to harm people, I want them to never come back. "

Yin Erhu sent away Xue Changfeng, who had been delaying and unwilling to leave. The Lord had given strict orders. If Xue Changfeng could not go to Youzhou as soon as possible, he would send others to wait in Youzhou to replace Xue Changfeng.

In this case, Xue Changfeng had to ride all the way eastward alone.

Like a passionate mother-in-law, Yin Erhu carried a small baby girl and sent Xue Changfeng a full ten miles away.

"I won't run back again." Xue Changfeng waved to Yin Erhu and said loudly.

Yin Erhu covered the face of the little baby girl and said loudly: "You'd better not come back again. If you are careful, I will break your legs. Say hello to Helan Minzhi for me when you see him."

"I won't see He Lan Minzhi."

"You will definitely meet Helan Minzhi, this is your fate——"

Xue Changfeng cursed under his breath, put down his hood, and headed eastward surrounded by the north wind.
