The Young Emperor and the Fearless

It was still that deep house compound somewhere, the half-grown child folded the wild orange flowers in the courtyard, carefully held them in his hands, thought for a while, and walked to the door of the room.

The house was locked, and the child took out the key from his body, opened the door, and closed the door from the inside.

There was a person lying on the bed, it was He Li who seemed to be falling asleep.

The child put the wild flowers on Heli's bedside, looked at Heli's sleeping face for a while, squeezed the quilt, rubbed it, and was about to go out again.

At this moment, He Li suddenly opened his eyes, sat up suddenly, and slipped off the bed.

Hearing the movement, the child turned around, and was so frightened by Heli who walked behind him that he fell to the ground. He said in shock, "You're awake..."

Then, as if realizing that he had made a mistake, he covered his mouth.

His voice was a little shrill, with the immaturity of a child, appearing indistinguishable.

However, Heli didn't look at him the same way, stepped over, pushed the door open, and walked straight out.

The child changed color in fright, chased after him and said, "My lord, you can't go out, come back quickly, you can't get out..."

He Li turned a deaf ear to his yelling and came to the gate of the courtyard in a blink of an eye.

There are several gates in this house, one for the house, one for the courtyard gate, and another for going out.

Unaware of the situation outside, Heli opened the house, thinking he could get out, but was trapped by the second door. He pushed it twice, but failed to push it open. He kicked it in frustration, and the door remained motionless.

The sound of kicking the door disturbed the dog outside the yard, which caused a burst of barking.

The child chased after He Li, and said weakly: "Young master, I really can't get out. Not only is the outside locked, but there are people guarding it with dogs. Even if you climb over the wall and go out, you can still be caught."

He Li glanced at him coldly, stroked his sleeves, and began to wander around the wall of the yard, as if he was researching to get out.

The child saw his intention, bit his lip, and said timidly: "Young Master, I didn't bluff you. I tried it. Not only was I caught, I was beaten, and my legs were almost limped. If you don't believe me, look, I still have some scars on my legs." The injury from the beating last time."

He said, rolling up his trouser legs.

Because of his young age and lack of enough to eat, his legs were so thin that only skin and bones remained, with countless horizontal and vertical marks of whipping. Although the swelling had subsided, they had not completely spread out.

He Li was slightly taken aback, and said in a hoarse voice: "You..."

Too surprised, He Li didn't know what to say.This child, who was obviously in the same group as that person last night, ruined his innocence and reputation, and what he said and did was all unsightly and nasty deeds.Heli didn't know the situation last night, and treated the child with a kind face, but what happened later made him hate the person in front of him.

A half-grown child lost his humanity following his master, no matter how wronged he was, He Li could no longer sympathize with him.

The child was keenly aware of his indifference, tears welled up, knelt down and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't intend to persecute you, but I really can't help it. If I don't listen to them, I will still be beaten."

Heli looked down at the top of the child's head and asked, "They didn't let you talk, why did you say so?"

The child wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "I...I want to apologize to you, I'm sorry for you."

He Li said, "This is the end of the matter, what's the use of your apology. The person who forced me last night was your master, and you are also his accomplice. If I go out, you will not be able to escape the crime of beheading."

The child trembled in fright, and cried again: "I don't want to die, I still want to go back to see my mother alive..."

Heli straightened his waist, ignored the child, and walked to a corner near the house. If he moved quickly, he could use the strength of the wall to climb up the fence.

He Li tried it once, but his feet were too slippery and fell off.

The child quickly followed and said, "My lord, don't do this, it's dangerous."

But now, He Li is so angry that he won't listen to him at all.

The child said again: "If you really want to leave here, I can help you."

He Li paused, frowning at him.

The child continued: "The man was injured by you last night, and he is still unconscious. He may not come again for a while, as long as he is not there, he will have a chance to escape. There are two guards outside the courtyard, and they sometimes steal small things. Lazy, dozing off, going to the latrine... But you disturbed their dogs just now, I'm afraid they are very vigilant now, as long as they climb over the wall and go out, they will be caught right away."

He said so much, but Heli only heard the first sentence. He was full of surprise and asked, "Who do you think hurt me? The person who tried to attack me last night?"

The child's eyes widened, and he didn't understand why Heli acted like he didn't know: "Yes, you almost strangled him to death, don't you remember?"

When He Li woke up this morning, he felt sore all over his body, and he couldn't even lift his arms. After a while, his memory gradually returned. He remembered what happened last night, and his face turned pale. .

He Li said: "Could it be that nothing happened last night?"

The child looked embarrassed, and said falteringly: "That person... is trying to treat you... When I followed others... when I barged in, your clothes were messy, but you were wearing all your clothes, so you didn't..."

He Li interrupted him: "Tell me what happened last night, what's going on?"

After sorting out his thoughts, the child slowly said: "My lord, don't blame me. The food they brought you last night was drugged. It's the kind of aphrodisiac that makes people feel uncontrollable. Fortunately, you didn't take it, otherwise that person last night I'm afraid I will succeed in my animal desire. After the man entered the house, I dared not leave. I stayed outside the door with the people he brought, and heard you making a lot of noise inside, but the man liked to make such a fuss, and his people didn't care. But then the sound became more and more wrong. Behind them were the screams of the man, covering up the screams, as if they were still moaning for help, they kicked the door and broke in, and then saw you biting the man's arm , and strangled his neck tightly, the man's face turned blue, and he was almost out of breath."

Later, the "that person" in the child's mouth was rescued by his subordinates, but he also suffered a little.He Li seemed to have lost his mind, and he rushed to bite people when he saw him. His subordinates were torn by He Li, wounded all over his body, rolled into a ball, and several of them joined forces, and finally knocked people unconscious, before they escaped.

The child said: "Master is very powerful, three people can't hold you down, but that person wanted to hold you down, but you grabbed him and slammed him into the wall. The sound was like thunder, and everyone was stunned. Yes, that person was directly knocked unconscious..."

No, He Li has no memory of this passage at all, he glanced at the child suspiciously: "Is what you said the truth?"

The child was puzzled and said, "Of course it's true, why am I bluffing you?"

He Li leaned against the wall in bewilderment, pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure out why this happened.The child doesn't seem to be lying, but if it's true, then he shouldn't have no impression at all, and it's impossible for him to fight three people alone, how can he fight well.

But the soreness on his body reminded him that there seemed to be a brawl last night.Since it was not caused by that person's coercion, it is very likely that he did fight with someone as the child said.

It seems like this has happened before.

That is, not long ago, in the post station in Moshan Village, he was pushed and hit by someone, and he became dizzy. When he woke up again, his whole body was sore. It seemed that a piece of his brain was missing, and it seemed that nothing had happened.

There seemed to be some connection with Li's intuition twice, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he had to temporarily abandon this question, and asked instead: "Who is the 'that person' you are talking about? Isn't it your master?"

The child shook his head, suddenly heard a dog barking, looked around nervously, and whispered, "My lord, let's go into the room and talk about it."
