red cliff top

Raising the felt curtain, he walked into the big tent with a pensive smile, everyone in the tent exchanged glances with each other, and quickly retreated out quietly with a sense of humor.

King Jin pretended to ignore Shen Si with a straight face, and only peeked out from the corner of his eyes to contemplate. That's right, he is still that neat and unrestrained heroic boy with every gesture.

After standing for a while, seeing that King Jin was putting on airs and refused to give up, Shen Si had no choice but to be soft and beg for forgiveness: "Okay, keep it, it's true that I didn't keep my word, and it was a few days late, Shen Si will pay you for it."

King Jin snorted lightly: "Yes." Finally, he had a reaction.

For King Jin's indifferent attitude, Shen Si didn't care at all, he waved at King Jin loudly: "Shou Zhi, come and see, I also brought you a good gift."

The felt curtain was lifted, and there was a man in a brocade robe outside on a horse, his head and feet were limp, his clothes were stained with blood, he didn't know if he was dead or alive.

"This is..." King Jin took a few steps away when he saw it. Wei Qian was his own nephew, how could he not recognize it.

Shen Si raised his hand and grabbed Wei Qian's belt, ripped him off, threw him on the ground, and ordered the attendants beside him: "Go, ask a medical officer to stop the bleeding, and then take care of him. Just save your life." That's it, the wound on the wrist doesn't need to be treated, let him be disabled."

Watching the soldiers rushing to carry him away, King Jin frowned slightly: "Nian Qing, that's what you're here for? Are you trying to tie him up and threaten Wei You to retreat?"

He shook his head with a pensive expression: "Wei Boling is determined to win Jinyuan, and he will never retreat easily. I can only force him to stand still for three months."

Jin Wangyou was worried: "Is Nianqing being too hasty? My nephew is deep in the city, and his emotions and anger are invisible, which can be seen from his methods against the Liu brothers. His ambition is so great that it is not family affection or morality. It can be easily left and right."

In fact, the king of Jin was worried about more than that. The so-called mourning army must be defeated. If the kidnapping of Wei Qian failed to restrain Wei You, it would anger him and prompt him to kill his relatives righteously. The consequences would be disastrous.Furthermore, if Wei Qian died in front of the two armies, Wei You could make a great contribution to the little emperor.

Contemplating his facial expression, he vaguely guessed King Jin's concerns. He smiled mischievously like a child, and then took out something from his pocket and held it up in front of King Jin: "Of course a Wei San can't hold back Wei Boling." , but I still have this!"

The King of Jin took a closer look and found that what Shen Si was holding was actually a military talisman used by the imperial court to mobilize soldiers and horses. He couldn't help being shocked: "How did you get this thing?"

With Wei You's careful and meticulous actions, such valuables must not easily fall into the hands of others. Jin Wang was deeply afraid that Shen Si would risk his own life regardless of safety.

Meditation is quite relaxed: "How did you get it? Of course it was stolen, and you can't think of where Boling hid it! Wei Boling actually hid it in the middle of his belt, but luckily I touched it by accident. It’s here, otherwise, even if you search inside and outside the barracks, you will be doomed to return in vain.” Speaking of the gains of his trip, he couldn’t help but feel complacent in his words, “Even if Bo Ling doesn’t care about our former classmates, but now I hold Holding the military talisman that is related to his bright future, and holding his own brother's little life in one hand, can't he force him to obey my wishes?"

Hearing this, King Jin raised his phoenix eyes slightly, and his eyeballs slantedly aimed at Shen Si: "You said that this soldier talisman...is hidden in the interlayer of Wei You's belt?"

Shen Si didn't understand the implication of King Jin's words, and was still complacent: "No, it's easy to find me. I guessed that he might carry the soldier amulet with him because of his temperament, but I didn't expect it to be hidden in the Such a hidden place."

"You said that the soldier talisman is hidden in the interlayer of Wei You's belt?" King Jin repeated the question again with a long voice, emphatically highlighting the word "belt".

Contemplating for a moment, he looked at King Jin foolishly, and finally realized after a long time: "Oh..." He has always been magnanimous in dealing with people, and there is no need to deliberately avoid suspicion, "So what if it is a 'belt'? The two of us that day But they spent the whole night talking about the old days, and slept together on the same bed after being drunk. If not, how would I have the opportunity to find out the whereabouts of the soldiers? You don't have to be jealous. Since we first met on the top of the red cliff when we were 12 years old, Wei Bo and I Ling is getting along like this, let him treat me like a brother, or add other selfish distractions, why don't I steal his soldier amulet and rob his younger brother? Guard, listen up, I If you start a course to get a scholar here, I am afraid that you, an old man, will already be the number one scholar in high school, so why bother to compete with these scholars and young students."

The King of Jin could understand that this was clearly Shen Xiaowu's confession. In Shen Si's mind, he was one out of tens of thousands, and the rest were just passers-by. Has this group of 'scholars' surnamed Wei ever made things difficult for you?"

"Fortunately, he still has some old friendship with me, so he didn't make things difficult..." He said with a self-deprecating "puchi" and laughed, "Shou Zhi, maybe I have been with you for a long time, but now I am with you too It's generally shameless..."

After dinner, Shen Si went alone to the side tent where Wei Qian was detained.The guards were all around the tent, with three steps, one sentry and five steps, one post, making the surrounding airtight.

Walking into the tent, a thin layer of dry straw was spread on the ground, and a thick wooden stake stood in the middle. Wei Qian was sitting on the ground leaning on the wooden stake. The previous domineering.According to Shen Si's order, the medical officer carefully bandaged Wei Qian's wound to stop the bleeding, but he did not apply any medicine to strengthen the bones and tendons. It's hard to even pick up a pen to write.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wei Qian lifted his eyelids weakly and looked up. When he realized that the bald face was contemplative, he lowered his head again and cursed in a hoarse voice.

A small bowl of water and two browned and blackened steamed buns were placed on the ground. The water was full and the steamed buns had not been touched.In order to prevent prisoners from deliberately escaping or committing suicide, the food containers are made of wood, which looks clumsy and dirty.Shen Si stretched out her toes and kicked the wooden bowl: "Why, do you want to go on a hunger strike?"

Wei Qian glared at Shen Si viciously, his white eyeballs were covered with bloodshot eyes: "Shen Nianqing, if you have the guts, kill me with one blow!"

Shen Si turned his hands away and stood up happily: "It's a joke, what right do the prisoners have to seek death? I took your elder brother's face into consideration, and dragged you outside with an iron chain to pretend to be a pig and a dog. It's the best of humanity."

"Shameless villain!" Wei Qian spat angrily in the direction of contemplation, "My brother is still defending you everywhere, don't allow me to hurt you in the slightest! What kind of hero is such a vicious and tricky man!"

Shen Si frowned slightly and stared at Wei Qian, then smiled: "Wei Shuyuan, the two armies are fighting with open swords and spears, you are already defeated by me, as for today's matter, you have to worry about it first." Evil thoughts want to murder me, I just repay him with his own way. You want to kill me, oh, why don't I want to tear you into pieces!" After a moment of silence, he couldn't stop his tone Feeling sad, "I've always kept my word when I thought about it. If Bo Ling is willing to stand still during the three months, I will definitely send you to see him alive. At that time, you will still be the third son of your Wei family, with golden branches, jade leaves, brocade clothes and jade food." Anyway, there are a lot of people waiting for you, so why not use your hands? But my Shen family is full of young and old, but Huang Quan has never looked back. The dog emperor is fatuous and ruthless, and the treacherous villain is helping the tyrant, everyone is afraid of my father, Shen Wei, who has made great achievements. , slandering my brother and below, good, good, just treat our father and brother as ignorant and tolerant, but what about my sister, brother-in-law and that unborn child? What are they guilty of?"

The more Shen Si spoke, the more excited he became, the hand holding the hilt of the sword gradually tightened, and the knuckles creaked. Finally, he couldn't restrain himself and drew out the sword. A cold light hit Wei Qian half an inch above Wei Qian's head. With a sound, the wooden stake was chopped off by Qi Shushua, and Gu Lulu rolled to the ground together with Wei Qian's half crown and a strand of hair.

Putting the sword back into its sheath, he strode out of the tent pensively, and instructed the two soldiers guarding the door as he walked, "Go, open his mouth, and pour all the steamed buns and water into it without leaving a drop! Make sure he's 'good' 'Alive!"

The curtains fell heavily, blocking the bright sunlight outside, and the inside of the tent was dimmed, and the disgusting smell of blood and mildew quietly spread from the corners.

Wei Qian must have been extremely tired, his head drooped slowly, his hair fell down to cover most of his face, and he sat there with his eyes closed, panting with difficulty.Through the messy, dirty, uneven length of hair, one could vaguely see the corners of his mouth moving slightly, as if he was sighing or smiling, his expression was extremely strange, and there was a trace of sadness in the strangeness...

Back in the sleeping tent, the servants had already prepared hot water for bathing and clean clothes.For the past few days, I have been mentally tense every day when I meditate. Now that I suddenly relax, I feel extremely exhausted physically and mentally. I feel drowsy in the water, and I don’t want to move.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, unhurried and unhurried, Shen Si didn't even need to open his eyes to know that it was King Jin.He lazily lay down on the edge of the tub, leaving only his shoulders and back to dry.The footsteps were getting closer and closer, he turned around the screen, and stopped in front of the bathtub. After a while, he pressed his hands on Shen Si's shoulders and kneaded them skillfully, with the fingertips just right.

Shen Si let out a comfortable "hum", then pursed her lips and smiled.King Jin turned his head to look at him, and teased in a low voice: "You wild monkey, what are you laughing at?" He couldn't help laughing as he spoke.

"I'm happy, so I naturally want to laugh." Shen Si turned around and wiped the water from his face, "Then what are you laughing about?"

King Jin imitated the contemplative tone: "I am happy, so I naturally want to laugh."

Shen Si exaggeratedly smacked his lips twice: "You are also happy to serve others?"

King Jin nodded and smiled more meaningfully: "If we can do this every day, sleep together day and night, drink wine, play games, gamble books and pour tea, even if you give me the gods in the sky, I won't change it."

Shen thought for a while, and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a childlike mischievous smile: "I don't care if you change anything else, but you need to change to a bed that is strong enough first."

King Jin laughed out loud: "Thirty is like a tiger and forty is like a leopard, but the person who broke the bed rail last time was not my king."

Shen Si is not ashamed: "Who said you? I should also be at the age of dragon and tiger."

"Xiao Wu..." King Jin couldn't help laughing, "You always have a way to make me laugh!"

While talking, a voice came from outside the tent: "Report to the lord, the front line is [-] miles away and report urgently."

King Jin continued to help Shen Si squeeze his shoulders, and said casually, "Come in and talk."

There was a soft rustle, and someone came and knelt down on one knee behind the screen and said, "My lord, the Tartars committed crimes in the south, Jiazhou fell, the enemy army is approaching Yulin Wei, and the front line in the northwest is urgent. Please send reinforcements quickly, my lord."

Before King Jin could speak, he stood up thoughtfully: "How is the guard of Jiazhou, Jin Fulu?"

The subordinate hesitated for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "Life or death is uncertain."

King Jin patted Shensi's shoulder lightly, signaling him to be calm, and then ordered outside: "Go down, and immediately call all the generals to the big tent for discussion."

"Yes!" The man took the order, and did not get up immediately, but knelt outside the screen and did not leave for a long time.

Seeing this situation, King Jin's brows gradually tightened, and he had a bad premonition in his heart: "What else?"

"Return to the prince, there is another urgent report from Jinyang..." The subordinate pondered for a moment, then stammered.
