Hundreds of people have already been imprisoned, just waiting for Bai Shanglu to be arrested, and the Nine Clans will not be able to run far.

There is no need to look for a dark way, it is obvious that even the most dangerous place is not necessarily safe, and Bai Tong is not here.

There is a flat land near the East Palace that is specially opened up for His Royal Highness the Prince's deliberations and practice, Su Changrong is wrapped in a military uniform, and his military boots are stepping on the asphalt stone, echoing on the hundred-step ladder.

The crown prince Li Ziling was discussing with Keqing in the Wangjiang Pavilion above, and when he saw a person walking quickly on the winding stairs below, he raised his hand to stop Keqing's proposal to Jingshi Commerce, and waved the person back.

As soon as the people came to the pavilion, they saw the three or two guests retreating, and they knew that most of their intentions were guessed by Li Ziling.

"See Your Highness. ”

"Excuse me, sit. ”

"Your Highness......"

"You want to intercede on behalf of Bai Tong?"

This categorical tone of statement is cold and cold. Su Changrong also ignored the inconvenience of his own dress, knelt down, and asked: "My subordinates are willing to personally recruit Bai Shanglu, and even kill the traitor if necessary." But Bai Tong is young and innocent, has good conduct, and is punished by the nine clans, so he hopes that His Highness will think twice. ”

Under the Wangjiang Pavilion, the grass grows gradually, moving with the river, and the reflection in the blue sky and white clouds in the river sweeps the birds and birds that come early, and soars into the sky.

Li Ziling took off the animal skin gloves, carefully felt how heavy the chill was, and said to himself: "Do you know that there are no rules and no circle, make an exception for one person, in the future, if there are more people who rebel, whoever comes to intercede can change the law and reduce the criminal law...... Can the Fa still be called the Fa?"

"Some things can set precedents, but some things are the bottom line. Changrong, you have been with me for four years, and I understand the way of kings and ministers, benevolence, righteousness and law taught by Taifu, even if you don't listen attentively, you should be familiar with it, not to mention that you never get distracted by these teachings. So, why do you think that I have to break a law for the sake of one person?"

Su Changrong shook his head and sighed: "The Fa is dead, but people are alive." The law is ruthless, but people are merciful!"

"But it's not enough to be affectionate. ”

"Then the subordinate will use his life as a guarantee and make an exchange. ”

"How can I believe your guarantee?"

Even though Su Changrong had already made a good draft in his delicate heart drilled out of life, he really wanted to say it without hesitation, but he still felt that these words were heavy and pressed his tongue, but the situation forced him to find a better way.

He said softly and slowly: "If His Highness spares his life, his subordinates will dedicate their lives to the founding of the country, and all generations will be used by His Highness and the royal family! In this way, keep the white pass!"

The sonorous kneeling sound before was belatedly echoed in the words and oaths at this moment, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked down at the person who was prostrate at his feet, and the young man was only sixteen or seventeen, and it was the time to grow up strongly.

Su Changrong has the firmness and tenacity that he can see, and he will never give up even if he is covered in injuries. This kind of determination is a knife, a double-edged sword, used properly, not to say that it is a divine weapon, but absolute loyalty is available, but if you accidentally control it, it is more like losing your wife and breaking your soldiers.

After a while, Li Ziling stretched out a hand and lifted Su Changrong, who was kowtowing to the long head, as if he didn't know why he knelt down, carefully dusted off the non-existent dust on his shoulder, and showed a benevolent smile.

Bai Tong was accidentally attacked by the dryad in Bisha Tan and died violently on the spot. The palace will report this matter to his father, and pass the news to Bai Shanglu, ordering him to surrender as soon as possible. ”

Su Changrong gave his hand again, this time it seemed that his soul was also extremely humble on the ground, and he said up and down: "...... Thank you, Your Highness......"

The bottom of the valley behind Zixu Mountain is warm all year round, clouds and smoke are around, and a thin white mist overflows from the ice and snow on the top of the mountain in the morning, and has been coiled in the valley, until the winter sun Buze, it gradually dissipates.

The back mountain is mostly a place for the cultivation of herbs, and there are not many things, except for the straw houses where dustpans, shelves, and baskets are placed. However, more of the houses are used to store herbs, and ordinary herbs are hoarded here, but because the terrain is flat and convenient for herbs to dry, it has been set up as a special herb area.

There are only a few people here, and it is typical that there are fewer people and more logistics chores, and there are many people who want to jump out, so it is not new for new people to take over occasionally.

The consul here is the young man Chang'an who was in Suixian County back then, who was in charge of the classification of medicinal materials, and the little followers who came and went were nothing unusual for him, so he suddenly joined in alone, and he didn't raise his eyelids much, fiddling with the herbs, and let the kid go to get the license and do things by himself.

When he walked out, he remembered that he should go to see the sowing and growth of the Qi Blood Grass today, so he had to climb down the ladder and shout to the people outside who had not gone far: "Hey, new here! Wait a minute...... Come back...... Yes, yes, come here, go to the north, there, just that room, take a small basket, and then accompany me up the mountain to see the qi and blood grass. ”

This kid has a crooked hat on his head, and he is dressed as a standard little guy, but he is very white, thin and weak, not because he can't keep up with food, but because he has such a physique, but he can't see that he is from a poor family. He stood there, his skin tender and coarse, surrounded by a rotten basket of gray dried herbs, and he had a melancholy in him, out of step with the environment, as if only a splendid robe could match him. The coarse cloth linen has raised a few grades on him, the whole person is very low, he can't laugh at a young age, he will move when he is ordered, and he will be stunned if no one tells him. It is like a toad outside of gold.

"What's your name?" On the way up the mountain, Ping An tried to communicate with the newcomer.

“...... Lu Tong, my lord. ”

Ping'an was aroused with goosebumps by the lovelessness of this life, dug a small pit on the muddy road to prevent him from falling, and snorted: "What a big adult, I am also the consul of Sesame Da here." Lu Tong, seeing that you are not very old, and you don't look like doing rough work, how can you get into this chore?"

The footprints behind him followed one by one, and Lu Tong's eyes were even more distracted, if he hadn't been able to keep up by himself, Ping An would have suspected that the newcomer was a puppet fool.

He's so difficult, why is it a strange new one.

Every time Ping An asked, Lu Tong answered, and he couldn't be more standard and stiff.

The blood grass has only been sown for a few days, but it has grown well, and it has more or less sprang out small buds, and the goose yellow is a thin layer in the ground, and after a while, it can be divided into seedlings and planted in an open place.

Since I came to the mountain, I naturally didn't plan to go back empty-handed. The two of them went higher and went straight to the snowy mountain. Ping An told the child all the way about precautions, but he found that no matter what he said, the young man was not interested, even if he had a good temper, he couldn't bear to be distracted by the person who beat him.

"Stand up for me!"

Lu Tong put down the work he was doing and stood with his head down.

There was a snow lotus beside him, but the picking technique was too clumsy, and half of the flowers and leaves were rubbed.

"What happened to your family that forced you to come here, right?"

Lu Tongtou lowered his head, but still refused to say much, and hummed unnaturally in reply.

Seeing this scene, Ping An wanted to give him a slap, and people should remember it for a long time. But this kid is too weak, and at first glance, he has been hit by a major accident, and he rashly reprimands him, I'm afraid it won't be of much use.
