break the barrier

—[Bongxi 11th Year]—

Wei Xiao sat at the table, picked up the chopsticks and put them down again, "Why do you only have a pair of chopsticks?"

The little eunuch pursed his lips, unable to speak.

"Hurry up and bring a pair of bowls and chopsticks." Wei Xiao turned to look at the little eunuch, "Jiyun will make trouble when he comes back later."

"...Yes." The little eunuch answered with a trembling voice, and went to get another pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Wei Xiao just stared at the pair of bowls and chopsticks in a daze, neither eating nor drinking, the food was cold, his legs were numb, and he was alone, "Tell me why Ji Yun hasn't come back yet, you have to help me later Teach him, how...how could you make me wait so long..."

"Your Majesty, don't cry out your eyes..." This little eunuch can be regarded as an old man in the palace, knowing that Wei Xiao and Zhou Prison have a deep relationship, so a big person, suddenly disappeared from this palace, any No one can bear it.

In the past year, Wei Xiao's condition has been up and down, and she must have dreamed again last night, talking nonsense.

There were footsteps outside the door, and the palace servants came in to announce that Sheng Chun had something important to report.

Hearing the word "important matter", Wei Xiao seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately covered his fragile expression, and waved the little eunuch to retreat.

He has not received any news for a year, and he has to pretend to be very angry at Zhou Prison's "crime of deceiving the emperor" in front of others.In the past, he doted on Zhou Prison, and Zhou Prison's occasional impulsive and mischievous behavior was seen by the world as the most affectionate and sexual. Now that Zhou Prison is exiled in Baijiu Cave, those who used to boast, after a few mouths, all become bastards. Inferiority.

He sealed off Zhou Prison's bedroom, but at night he wanted to sleep with Zhou Prison's clothes, no one knew about it, but Sheng Chun saw it.

Sheng Chun has watched Wei Xiao grow up since the time of the first king, and now he is watching Zhou Prison grow up. He really can't bear to see the two separate. He helped Wei Xiao buy up the bastards who transported goods on the main road, and asked them to find news about Zhou Prison. Jiu Grotto has a large population and no information, so it is difficult to find people.

Normally, Sheng Chun would tell Wei Xiao the news he had heard before going to bed when there was no one around, but today he specially reported it, and Wei Xiao's heart suddenly became active. Voice, "Sheng Chun, is there any news?"

Sheng Chun took out a piece of crumpled paper that was stained with mud from his sleeve, and Wei Xiao took it carefully. There were no words on it, only a butterfly painted with mud.

Most of Da Chong's troops are from Baijiu Grottoes, and some cities don't even need to send a single soldier, only let those who have no choice but to know that they will win without fighting if they have a choice.As for those that are difficult to break through, Wei Xiao will act from them.

In the king's tent, Zhou Yu and Zuo Quan were sitting together, eating the rabbit meat hunted in the forest by the stream, Zhou Yu was used to staying in the upper city, but he suffered a good crime when he first came to Baijiu Cave two years ago.Baijiu Grotto is poor, they live by eating wild game and drinking stream water, but Zhou Prison has been living with Wei Xiao for more than ten years, and has pampered a young lady's stomach, and she has been suffering from abdominal pain for the past month.

Fortunately, several years have passed, and now he has fully adapted to life in Baijiu Cave.

"In the battle against those two generals, we need you to fight. We know each other too well, so we can't make a result." Zhou Prison took a cloth towel and wiped the oil on his hands with great effort.

"Then... what if you, Xiaoxiao, will fight in person!" Zuo Quan laughed after finishing speaking. Zhou Prison got a war horse from Zhongcheng, and other soldiers who rode a wild donkey would call him Thunder Hurricane, but Zhou Prison wanted to call that horse Xiaoxiao. If anyone wants to greet the war horse, they have to call Xiaoxiao from Zhou Yu's family.

Zhou Yu threw out the bone at his side, and Zuo Quan slammed it, and his ears turned red.

If Wei Xiao conscripted himself, then he would not fight, and directly took Wei Xiao over and brought him back to Baijiu Cave, but how could Wei Xiao conscript himself, and let the crickets in the wild scare him, "No, he is just fine. Because of hidden weapons, it is not suitable for the battlefield."

"Who said it was the king of Dachong? I'm talking about whether you can beat those two generals by riding your Xiaoxiao!" Zuo Quan raised his eyebrows to see how he was blushing, like a little wife, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk , or you are amazing, just call the king of the dynasty by his name, and call him so kindly, huh~"

"You—" Zhou Prison knocked another bone over, "I'm too lazy to argue with you."

At the same time, on the other side of the city wall, Wei Xiao in the study sneezed.

He rubbed his nose, listening to the battle report of Da Chong's losing streak, he felt very comfortable. Even the brows that had been frowning in the past two years were smoothed away, and he outlined the flowers in the outer courtyard stroke by stroke on the paper.

Zheng Yao studied ink beside him, "In the face of a great enemy, the teacher is so calm, Zheng Yao really admires it."

He pretended not to understand the meaning behind Zheng Yao's words, turned his head and smiled, "Where, Mr. Zheng said, God bless me, the black wolf army is a bastard conspiracy, it violates the laws of heaven, and it will be punished by God's will."

"The teacher also believes in heaven and morals?"

"Everyone in the upper city believes it."

Zheng Yao stopped talking, and Wei Xiao would not tell him the truth. As a teacher, he didn't know how many times he was wrongly called "Ji Yun".

—[Bongxi 15th Year]—

The moment Wei Xiao saw the peace agreement document, he immediately recognized Zhou Yu's handwriting. He knew that Zhou Yu must have brought him something, so he found the small note easily, and put it in his palm calmly. Pressing his forehead pretending to sigh.

"Zheng Yao, God is going to kill me Da Chong."

Zheng Yao was still studying ink, without raising his eyelids, he just glanced at Wei Xiao's painting on the case, "Yes, God sent a painter to be the king, not to destroy the country."

"Hahahahahahaha." Wei Xiao leaned back on the chair and laughed, rubbing the piece of paper in his hands again and again, "Zheng Yao, Zheng Yao, who do you look like?"

At first he thought that Zheng Yao was just a puppet thrown by Zheng Mao, but slowly he found that it was not the case, Zheng Yao didn't listen to him or Zheng Mao, he just stood in his own position and benefited from both sides.

Zheng Yao didn't answer, but just took a look at Wei Xiao's painting that he had painted over and over again in the past five years.

He has been unable to understand what is so good about the flowers in the outer courtyard that Wei Xiao likes them so much, even more than the pursuit of the throne and power.

But today he seems to understand, today this painting is different from the previous ones, there is a "moth" flying on the lifelike flower, compared with the flower, the "moth" looks like a ten-year-old child's essay.

He had seen this "moth" before, in Wei Xiao's bedroom, on the note in Wei Xiao's palm.

"Teacher, you really resemble the late king."

Wei Xiao glanced over coldly, took the painting back from Zheng Yao's hand, and folded it carefully, regardless of whether the ink on the newly painted butterfly was wet or not, letting the ink of the butterfly be printed on the flower.
