"Ahem......" Wen Xi felt that she was a little feverish, her head was very dizzy, and her mouth was very dry, and when she was dragged back by those people, she grabbed two handfuls of snow and pinched them in the palm of her hand, and then swallowed them, she didn't taste the sweet snow.

If there is no more water to drink, she will really die of thirst, Wen Xi felt very sad, the emperor has not asked what he wants to know, and for the time being, he will not really let her die of thirst, but he will keep her on like this.

Surrounded by nailed windows and smooth, cold walls, the room was not very large, and Wincy had groped around and had guessed that there were sixteen skeletons, all women, and it was not known whether they had died of thirst or starvation or were scared to death here.

Wincy didn't feel a little frightened, she rolled over, and under her was the clothes she had pulled from the skeleton that were not rotten and still warm, and she had to think about how she could get out, get out alive.

She is no longer so self-defeating, she wants to live well, for the sake of her mother who died here in vain, in order to watch the enemy die before her!

The pill that the emperor gave her should be what kind of pill to boost vitality, which can allow her to recover some physical strength to answer the emperor's question, the effect of that pill is very good, although she is weak now, and some of them are feverish because of the wind cold, but she still has some strength, and her clothes can keep her warm, at least until tomorrow.

She lay down for a while, then sat up, closed her eyes and breathed, and silently recited the mantra of internal strength, and as she concentrated, her ears became unusually sharp, and the faint creaking of rats in the darkness came from all directions.

She quickly pinched a pearl from the clothes that had been ripped off the corpse, and flicked towards the sound of one of the mice, and with a "squeak" scream, a skinny mouse fell from the beam.

She touched her body again, the flint and the dagger and some of her usual things were gone, the mouse didn't know if it was sick, Wen Xi frowned, she was more likely to starve to death than to be poisoned by the rat's flesh.

Wen Xi sighed, she was so dizzy now that she could barely concentrate again, she was disgusted and had to eat this rat, and after eating, she had the strength to have more chances of being alive.

She touched her hair again, okay, there was not even a hairpin, the emperor was very careful, Wen Xi rolled his eyes, reached out to the right side of the body not far away, there was a skeleton, there was a hairpin in her hair, she took off the hairpin, quickly poked off the head of the mouse, and cleaned the skin and internal organs of the mouse, leaving a little poor meat, there was no fire yet......

In the darkness, Wency still closed his eyes and stuffed the fishy mass of rat meat into his mouth, and swallowed it hard.

She was hungrier than she had imagined, and her body vomited out of the stench in defiance, but slid smoothly into her belly.

Wen Xi pinched another pearl, and her ears stood up at the same time, that bit of meat couldn't satisfy her at all, and she needed a few more. She felt that the situation was very happy now, she was guarding a pile of gold and silver treasures, and the hairpin rings on the female skeletons were so precious that they could not be exchanged for a meatloaf that could fill her stomach, and she could almost think of the jokes about Scrooge starving to death with gold and silver treasures.

By the time she swallowed the third raw rat meat, there was no maddening emptiness in her belly, and her brain seemed to be freed from the incessant incantation of hunger.

The stench of blood came back, and Wincy retched a few times, then forced herself to swallow it again, and she struggled to her feet, fumbling and staggering in the direction of the door.

The person guarding the door should be very strong, and even if she broke through the door, she had no chance of winning, and there was no other way out in the room.

The roof was very high, and Wen Xi wanted to go up to take a look, but he was afraid that it would alarm the people outside the door, so he gave up for the time being.

Like a blind person, she used her hands and feet to explore the darkness of the room.

In the right prime minister Du Fuzhong, there doesn't seem to be much festivity, when Du Yu entered the door, it was Du Zhai, the second master of the Du family, who went out.

Du Zhai was very worried, took a few people out, got on the horse parked outside the door, and said to Du Yu: "Sixth brother, I have come back to the house many times recently, and when I worship my ancestors, I am afraid that the eldest brother will preside over the division of the family." ”

Separation...... The tree is divided into large branches, the family has a large population, and it is common sense to divide the family, and the brothers of the Du family who have started a family live in Beppu, and there is no difference from the family, but at this time it is said that the family is divided...... Du Shaojue's face changed first.

Du Yu didn't answer, just lowered his head slightly, watched Du Zhai leave, and entered the mansion.

Du Yi "held sick", but all day in the study to convene protégés and staff to discuss, Du Yu did not wait for the servant to report, then pushed open the door of the study by himself, everyone in the room was trembling by the cold wind, and stood up one after another.

Du Yi looked at Du Yu and Du Shaojue, who were standing at the door with the wind and snow, waved his hand with everyone, and said, "Go ahead." ”

All the guests retreated, and Du Yi said to Du Yu: "What's the matter?"

When Du Yu entered the door, Du Shaojue closed the door and asked directly, "Big brother, what are the secrets of Taoling County?"

Du Yi might as well appear in a hurry, and even asked about this matter, without even making a turn, the expression on his face had changed several times, he looked at Du Shaojue again, and did not let him go out, but just asked Du Yu: "Where did you know about Taoling County?"

Du Yu frowned, he said: "Big brother, the Du family is not the capital that you can plan for the future, if you want to use Jingnan's people to make a living, you should think carefully about the crisis that this matter will bring, you can't afford to lose, even if the Du family splits up, in the end, they are all surnamed Du, and no one can run." ”

Du Yu's words were aggressive, and Du Yi's face was blue and white for a while, his lips trembled for a long time, and Du Yu's old scheming was useless, and he said directly: "Since ancient times, wealth and fame have been sought in danger, and the Du family has been able to make Xuan Xuan famous for three hundred years, relying on never shrinking his head to avoid trouble!"

Du Shaojue raised his voice when he saw that his father and uncle did not agree with each other, and he turned sideways slightly, listening to the movement of no idlers outside the door.

Du Yu sneered, "Rich and famous......"

Du Yi said: "The Du family has no room to retreat now, Ming Yi, you should have known it ten years ago." ”

Du Yu didn't want to argue with him about these useless words, but said: "Shao Jue went to Taoling County, and inquired about a hidden manor there, and there were a large number of samurai, no less than a thousand people, no one in Beijing had the ability to hide this matter from no one knew, and those samurai would also go in and out of Kyoto from time to time, and they would go back and forth to the Western Regions for several years, and the Taoling County Order had never been reported to the report, I have made people check, for more than 20 years, the upper and lower officials of Taoling County have been served by the Zheng family or his protégés, big brother, you must know the inside story!"
