Qihuang

Xu Shaoqing said: "The road is difficult, let the envoy take his time."

Master Li was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Xu Shaoqing put down the ink pen: "Emperor Xian'an sent envoys to Mobei. It's freezing cold, and the envoys are passing through Jizhou. How can you not ask the county magistrates to entertain you well?"

Master Xu, did you really listen to me just now? !

Master Li wanted to grab Xu Shaoqing's shoulders with both hands and shake him awake:

"My lord! As I said just now, the disaster in Jizhou is serious, and three county magistrates outside Xiagu have asked to see the sheriff. They are too busy to take care of themselves, so why do they have the heart to receive the envoy?"

"Oh? I thought they were best at flattering their superiors and bullying their inferiors." Xu Shaoqing pushed away the official document that had been approved, and said lightly, "The disaster is serious. If you don't find a way to fight the disaster in your respective counties, why come to the county guard?"

"Ask the sheriff to release the warehouse?"

"Will Zhu Yong release his position? He won't. Are the adults here really begging Zhu Yong to release his position?"

Xu Shaoqing's eyes were clear: "It's just that I found a reason to come to Xiagu to please the sheriff, and hide for a few days by myself. It's best to wait for the disaster to pass before going back. Talk about your merits and show that you have put in all your strength, and this matter can be turned over."

Master Li: "..."

The young eldest son of Captain Xu's family sees things more clearly than expected.

Xu Shaoqing said: "Don't worry, with them here, the envoy's footsteps will not be fast. Even if the envoy insists on going, let's wait until he comes to the valley. I have passed the news to Prince Yan just now."

At this time, in the dark and cold Mobei dungeon, there were candles and lamps, green tables and broken chairs.Wang Xinbai sat on the broken chair, looking at Yan Yu with some sympathy.

Yan Yu was hung and tied to the wooden pillar of the torture tool, his limbs were stretched apart to form a large font, and the soles of his feet still couldn't touch the ground, so being tied up like this must not be very comfortable.

The environment in this dungeon is terrible. It is not that Yan Yu has never interrogated prisoners here before, but now he has been switched, and he has become the one who is hung up for interrogation, so that although he has not received severe punishment physically, he has been broken mentally. Damaged drop of blood.

Looking at the depressed look of the general who never bowed his head in the past, Wang Xinbai shook his head regretfully and said, "Why do you think you are doing this?"

Yan Yu bowed her head and said nothing, no matter what Wang Xinbai asked him, he just kept silent.

Wang Xinbai didn't ask anything, his eyes rolled on Yan Yu's fairly clean prison uniform, he tapped on the folding fan that came from Yan Liao, and said helplessly:

"Why are you so stubborn? Let me tell you, that is, the national mourning, the snowstorm, and the border unrest, so no one is in a hurry to deal with you for the time being. Otherwise, the important matters will be dealt with almost, even if the son is soft-hearted and doesn't want to treat you. With heavy punishment, those ministers will not spare you, a rebellious minister who tried to rebel."

Yan Yu snorted lightly in her nose.

Wang Xinbai took out a letter from his body: "Here, don't you count on this secret letter, right? This secret letter has already been handed over to the crown prince by He Xun.

Let me tell you, the king has passed away, even if you want to find a well-known excuse for your treason, no one will listen to it. "

As soon as these words fell, Yan Yu's rigid face twisted: "Your Majesty... has passed away?"

Wang Xinbai: "Didn't the prince tell you? Although it is sad, it is true."

Yan Yu suddenly struggled.It's a pity that all he can move is his palms and soles, even struggling is useless, he can only shout excitedly: "Where is Yan Liao! Yan Liao is going to rebel! Now he is even more lawless, let me out!"

"..." Wang Xinbai looked at him with complicated eyes: "Brother Yan, why do you think you were arrested in the dungeon? You are also plotting a rebellion!"

Yan Yu said bitterly: "Can this be the same? I am for Mobei, why is Yan Liao? If he rebels once, and all Mobei follow him as a rebel, he will be happy?"

Wang Xinbai smiled: "Are you really doing it all for Mobei? Do you dare to say that you have no selfish intentions? Mr. Chen copied your mansion, but he often found those family letters that Mr. Xiao passed on to you. Tsk tsk, Mr. Xiao's speeches , if the king and the prince can see it..."

Seeing that Yan Yu's body tensed up, Wang Xinbai pressed hard: "Master Xiao is at the border of the Great Wall, at least he is alive. If you really did something to the son that day, do you think you two can live? Or, you Do you want to silence all the disobedient officials, really confirm your Yan surname, and call yourself king?"

Yan Yu remained silent, and looked at Wang Xinbai viciously.

Wang Xinbai sighed:

"Ten years ago, the son came back from the border, and was almost not rescued by the imperial doctor. The king was furious. After the son recovered, he pulled out several companies in the court to eradicate him, and said that he would strengthen the Great Wall to prevent foreign enemies. You just sent Lord Xiao to the foot of the Great Wall—you really didn’t have any doubts about this? Why did your son not send anyone, but why did you send Lord Xiao?”

There was silence in the dungeon, save for Wang Xinbai's icy white breath as he spoke.

Wang Xinbai felt that he had no ability to make Yan Yu speak, and he didn't want to continue to accompany him, so he got up and said the last sentence: "It's up to you, when you really make the prince angry, you will cry!"

Yan Yu looked at Wang Xinbai's back, and suddenly shouted: "He better not let me out alive! As long as he lets me out alive, I will definitely kill him!"

Wang Xinbai suddenly came back to his senses, and walked quickly to Yan Yu's side: "Could it be that you have left behind? You still want to go out? It's his kindness that the prince didn't kill you immediately!"

Yan Yu just sneered, "Just guess."

Wang Xinbai's heart was pounding.It's not that he looks down on Yan Yu, but he really doesn't think Yan Yu can have so many twists and turns in her stomach.

Wang Xinbai said: "The son has already been handed over to the Ministry of Punishment to strip and investigate all the ministers in the court. It is only a matter of time to find out the people with evil intentions. You should think about it these few days, don't completely chill the heart of the son."

After finishing speaking, Wang Xinbai stepped on the steps to the ground, from the dark dungeon to the sun, Wang Xinbai exhaled foul breath, and said: "You are really a donkey, rigid, do you have to go one way to death?"

He ran into the third son of Mr. Chen's family in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Wang Xinbai saw that the son who grew up with him also put on his official uniform, and smiled and joked: "Isn't this Chen San, he has become a high-ranking official?"

"There's nothing there, it's all relying on my father's shadow." Chen Paohui waved his hands and asked, "When will the son come back?"

"What are you asking the prince for?" Wang Xinbai saw Chen Paohui's pale face, swollen eye bags, and an overindulgent appearance, and said to him: "I didn't say, Chen San, you are on duty, it's better for your body Come on, you look too vain!"

A look of pain appeared on Chen Paihui's face: "I've long since... Oh! Don't ask, I'll be fine in a few days!"

Wang Xinbai: "?"

Chen Paohui said: "What about Xu Shaozhuo, does he know when the son will come back?"

Wang Xinbai: "What do you ask the prince to do?"

Chen Paohui looked in the direction of the dungeon and said anxiously, "I'm in a hurry!"

"Why are you in a hurry? Are you in a hurry to send Yan Yu down?" Wang Xinbai was surprised: "I haven't seen how good your relationship with Yan Yu is on weekdays. When you wanted to do something to Mr. Wu Hai in his camp, didn't you get scolded by him?" Don, do you want to roll off and mess around somewhere else?"

Chen Paihui hugged his head: "Stop talking! Stop talking!"

Wang Xinbai: "..."

I'm afraid another official has gone crazy.

-

Yan Liao has been staying at Yaolang's house at the foot of Yanshan Mountain for two days.On the second day, Yan Liao sent the imperial guards out to check the mountain road as usual.

However, in two days, Xiao Song's attitude towards Yan Shizi has changed from fear to admiration, and he is even so bold that he wants to touch Yan Shizi's knife.

Yan Liao pushed Xiaosong back, turned around and went to the woodshed.After a while, Yan Liao sharpened a small wooden knife, brought it into the room and handed it to Xiaosong.

"Well, my son from Mobei should be like this." Yan Shizi raised his eyebrows, looked at a closed door, and said loudly: "It's not like some people, who almost cried when they touched the knife for the first time. gone."

Xiaosong held the small wooden knife that Yan Shizi cut for him, loved it and was overwhelmed by flattery, but when he heard what Yan Liao said, his red face was full of excitement: "When Xiaosong grows up, he wants to kill all the foreigners like Shizi! "

"Ambition!" Yan Liao laughed, and then began to teach the children: "However, we can't kill all the foreigners. Even if they are foreigners, there are innocent old and weak. If we can make all tribes live in peace and not invade each other , friendly exchanges, the world will be peaceful."

These principles are too complicated for a five or six-year-old child, Xiao Song couldn't understand, and stared at Yan Liao in a daze.

Just then, there were two knocks on the door outside the house.

Yan Liao: "Are you back? I don't know if the mountain road is open or not." As he spoke, he stepped forward and pushed open the door.

As soon as the wooden door was pushed open, there was a burst of stench, and the thick brown animal arm suddenly swung towards Yan Liao.

Yan Liao's pupils shrank, and he suddenly bent over and turned to avoid it, and he had already pulled out the Huoyan knife when he landed.

"Run back!"

Shouting at Xiaosong who was stiff and stupid on the spot, Yan Liao swung his knife and slashed at the bear's arm that continued to dig around in the room. Unexpectedly, the hungry brown bear who just woke up from hibernation was not slow, and the bear's arm shrank suddenly. , retracted the wooden door.

The brown bear outside the door changed from standing up to all fours.

Judging from standing upright just now, this wild bear is at least six feet tall, and the huge bear head is almost catching up with the scapegoat that Yaolang's family cooks.

At this time, it had its four palms on the ground, its sturdy animal body was towering, its shoulders bulged in an attacking posture, and its big mouth was drooling, blown by the wind, and the stench rushed straight into the room.

Yan Liao frowned.

In this kind of snowy weather, the traps outside the house to prevent wild animals must have been destroyed, so a giant bear approached silently.

The strength of such a huge brown bear is amazing. If it wants to, it can even demolish these houses.

Faced with Ling Lie's murderous aura, the giant bear moved its nose, but was still controlled by hunger, and instinctively wanted to find food to fill its stomach.

Lifting the bear's paw, the giant bear "slapped" against the wooden door, and within a few times, the window and coffin on the door were all shattered into sawdust, and fell straight to the ground.

This bear is really planning to tear down the house that is in its way, so that it can go in and eat people.

Yan Liao held the knife, he had to force the bear out to deal with it, otherwise, the house would be gone.

Wu Hai in the room was disturbed by the silence, and when he came out, he saw a scene of a man and a bear facing each other.

Wu Hai: "..."

Yan Liao heard the voice behind him, and immediately ordered: "Take the child away, don't get in the way here."
