Lord of Rebirth

Chapter 141 Responsibilities

When Sun Moyao said about King Hongnong, the officers and soldiers were already a little excited, and when it came to being stationed temporarily and not returning to the fief, everyone naturally became angry.

Who can bear the fact that their lord is invited to celebrate the New Year, but it turned out to be a grand banquet, and they really used knives and bows, causing their Master Shen to come back injured, who can bear it?Who can swallow it like nothing happened? !

Since the prince said he would not go back, of course the officers and soldiers would not go back. They stared covetously at Shangluo City in the southwest of the barracks, wishing they could rush in now and drag out King Hongnong to make amends to their prince.

But not yet.

At daylight, Wei Liu came back with his army.At the back of the army were three wooden carts, on which lay the dead brother, who died in Shangluo City, and was short of the brother who could escape with the prince at the last step.

Many tears were shed, but no one howled.Some people stared hard, as if they didn't want to be seen crying.

The lieutenant, who had a good relationship with the twenty brothers who died, blushed when he saw them, and finally told the prince that he would bury them with his own hands, and the prince nodded.

Sun Moyao knew in his heart that once there was a war, life and death were out of his hands.Everyone in the army knew it, but this time they came here, obviously they didn't come to fight.

Regardless of whether he was dealing with the dead or the survivors, Sun Moyao felt guilty in his heart.

But Shen Xi said to him, "This is my fault."

When Shen Xi was carried into the barracks by Sun Moyao before, he didn't wake up all night.

After dawn, Shen Xi slowly opened his eyes.The arrowhead on his body has been pulled out, and because he lost a lot of blood, his complexion must not be very good-looking. There are layers of gauze wrapped around his waist, and some kind of yellowish liquid can be vaguely seen on it. It has not leaked out, but there is a strange smell smell.

Knowing that sitting up would definitely hurt, Shen Xi still sat up stubbornly. His eyes fell on the prince, and he said seriously, "It's my fault."

Sun Moyao was a little angry. He didn't want to blame Shen Xi, and it didn't make sense.

His complexion was a little ugly, not because Shen Xi insisted on taking the blame.He had just accepted the punishment of being beaten with a three-army stick for riding a horse in the barracks.The two lieutenants beat it with their own hands, and Wei stayed at the side to watch it personally, but Sun Moyao still felt that they were showing mercy.

Even so, he still felt a burning pain in his butt, and Shen Xi's words seemed to add a handful of firewood to his heart, burning his heart along with the pain.

If there is a real responsibility, Sun Moyao's responsibility is no less than that of Shen Xi.

Shen Xi had always said that this was a Hongmen banquet before, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.He also knew that this was the case, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.But most of the officers and soldiers knew that the prince in Shangluo City was the brother of their Fufeng King. Who would have thought that brother-in-law would really draw their swords at each other, and they didn't even think about whether more innocent people would be involved. people.

Compared to this, everyone thought it was King Hongnong's fault.

But Shen Xi didn't think so.He felt that since he already knew the purpose of King Hongnong, but he still didn't pay much attention to it, and walked into Shangluo City in such a grand manner, the biggest responsibility was on him.

Sun Moyao disagreed, so he quarreled with Shen Xi.

Of course, it was Wei Liu who finally mediated the quarrel.Wei Liu felt very stressed in his heart, why should he be in charge of mediating between the emperor and the prime minister in the capital, and mediate between the prince and Shen Xi here?What crime did he commit in his previous life?

For Wei Liu, both Sun Moyao and Shen Xi respected him.Especially this time when Wei Liu led troops to rescue them, even Sun Moyao thought that he would definitely give his life here this time, who would have thought that he was still standing here alive.

Sun Moyao knew that he was delaying time in front of Hua Yefei before, not because he knew that Wei Liu would lead troops to rescue him, but because he wanted to hug Shen Xi for a while longer.

As for Wei Liu thinking of coming to the south gate to rescue them, he brought his troops here because he did not receive a safety message from the prince at night. In fact, there were officers and soldiers in the north and east of the city at that time, so he came directly. to the south of the city.

Everything is a coincidence.

But at least he did a good deed and saved their lives. Even if it was a coincidence, Wei Liu was also their savior.

As soon as Wei Liu spoke, the two of them stopped talking.

"Ahem..." Wei Liu looked at the two of them, "Your Majesty knows that you don't want to blame Mr. Shen. Of course, Mr. Shen, you didn't think about this matter. It is certain, so don't think too much about it."

Shen Xi frowned slightly.

Wei Liu said again, "I know Brother Shen, you're having a hard time, but no matter what happened, whether it's a natural disaster or a life-threatening situation, you can only be more open-minded about this kind of thing, and don't pursue anything on the edge of your horn."

Shen Xi thought to himself, did he dig into a dead end?

"Master Wei, you are right." Shen Xi nodded, "But... this matter is indeed my fault, I admit it."

Sun Moyao remained silent. He stood aside and looked at Shen Xi, but he still wanted to look away.He didn't want Shen Xi to bear too much pressure and responsibility. He asked Shen Xi to be an official for him, not to take the blame for him.

Wei Liu nodded, "Okay, let's leave this matter as it is, my lord, what should we do next?"

Finally bringing the topic to the prince, Sun Moyao stood up straight and walked out, "Catch King Hongnong out."

This goal is very simple, but it is also the most difficult.The road ahead of them can be said to be long and difficult. Why arrest King Hongnong?How to catch?Why catch?What to do after being caught?How to explain to the emperor?How to explain to the people?

These are all a bunch of headaches to think about, let alone they want to capture King Hongnong alive.

Shen Xi and Wei Liu had already thought of a reason, "King Hongnong intends to conspire against the throne, and plans to kill Fufeng King to silence the truth."

If this crime is carried out, it will be convenient for them, but unfortunately nothing can go smoothly.

Soon King Hongnong also issued an announcement, saying that King Fufeng had arranged an assassin to assassinate King Hongnong during the family banquet, and he was blamed on him for unwarranted charges when the matter was revealed.

In this way, everyone can't figure out who is right and who is wrong.

What happened on the last night of last year? Many people in Shangluo City seem to be talking about it, not only the gorgeous fireworks, but also the people who live near the south gate. They said that it was the two princes. The army fought hand-to-hand, and fought with great enjoyment, but there was no winner, so it was not a fight.

But if they went deeper into the investigation, no one could tell what happened. After all, there was a curfew in Shangluo City at night, and they couldn't go out to see what happened.

Everything is like a firework, under the black sky, colorful, but nothing is left.

But the truth is something that the two princes are clear in their hearts.

Sun Moyao had already written a letter back to Fufeng County, and the next day Wu Kang and Liang Mang brought troops back to join Wei Zhenyun.That night, Wei Zhenyun took Wu Kang and [-] soldiers and horses on the road overnight, and came to the side of Shangluo City to join Sun Moyao. It only took half a day and one night.

It was only at this time that the people of Shangluo City realized what had happened. Everyone was nervous and muttering all day long, especially those who left the city - as soon as they went out to the east gate, they could see Fufeng Wangye's army The army stationed on the plain, with the military flag fluttering, makes people look like there is unwarranted pressure.

It's always not a problem.

Soon King Hongnong sent someone to send a letter, saying that he invited King Fufeng for an interview. After all, it seemed like a joke to outsiders.

How could Sun Moyao, who had been a prisoner once, agree, it would be considered polite not to kill the envoy, but he just said in a vicious voice that if King Hongnong was willing to come to their barracks to talk, he would agree to the "interview".

The tone and attitude were very bad, and the other party was so frightened that he ran away immediately.

Shen Xi was lying at the back of the main camp tent, only separated by a screen, and they could hear all their voices.

He was seriously injured, but after lying in the military doctor's place for two days, he moved to the prince's main tent, saying that he wanted to help the prince with advice, which would be more convenient, and everyone wouldn't think too much about it.

And the prince just wanted to watch Shen Xi take care of his body, so that he would not blame himself for making it through that hurdle and wanted to torture himself, even though he knew that Shen Xi was not such a person.But thinking carefully about this, Wei Liu is the only sensible person in the entire military camp. Wei Liu, who knows this little secret, always feels suffocated.

Everyone else left, Sun Moyao heard the movement behind the screen, and quickly turned around and got in.

I saw Shen Xi struggling to get up, even though there was a thick gauze around his waist, the loose robe hanging on him suddenly highlighted his thin shoulders and shoulder blades.

Sun Moyao hurried over to help him up, but he was not allowed to get out of bed, and he sat on the edge of the couch, letting him lean on his body.

"Shen Xi." Sun Moyao said softly, "Do you want something?"

"No..." Shen Xi replied, "My lord, what you said just now was quite cruel, did the other party cry in fright?"

Sun Moyao sneered, "It would be best if I could be scared to death."

Shen Xi turned his head to look at him. Since these things happened, Sun Moyao has been simmering with anger.Shen Xi couldn't figure out exactly what the ingredients of this fire were, but he knew that the fire must have something to do with him.

"My lord, the longer we talk about this matter, the less good it will be for us."

"I know."

Sun Moyao hugged the person in his arms a little tighter. Now that they are sitting here happily, who can he get angry at?Thank God it's too late.
