3. Chapter 3
I didn't expect Li Shao to involuntarily show such a smile in this situation, everyone in the hall was stunned, and the joy and gentleness overflowing from those eyes smashed into everyone's heart, so that the uninformed people were moved, and the informants were embarrassed.
The eldest grandson Boyi had imagined the scene of his reunion with Li Shao in the dead of night more than once, but among so many illusory scenes, none of them could coincide with what he saw in front of him. Eldest Sun Boyi never thought that he would be able to see this smile again, this ten years ago
Eldest Sun Boyi felt that when he saw this smile again, he should be moved, he should be moved, and his heart should be like a knife, but in fact, he didn't feel anything in his heart, even if he was caught off guard, he just raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Who is Li Shao? Li Shao is the third prince of Li State, the son is expensive by his mother, highly anticipated, Li Shao is the most appreciated protΓ©gΓ© of Taifu, quick thinking, unparalleled resourcefulness, Li Shao is the most proud student of Taiwei, outstanding martial arts, courage. How could such a Li Shao not be able to escape when faced with the dilemma of the rebel siege?
The eldest grandson Boyi believed that Li Shao had a hundred ways to get out safely, but he appeared in the palace, that must be what he took the initiative to stay, as for why Li Shao stayed, the eldest grandson Boyi couldn't guess.
"You want to see me?"
The eldest grandson Boyi spoke coldly, this cold tone surprised Li Shao, but in the blink of an eye, a smile surged in Li Shao's eyes.
"Well, I want to see you, in the ten years that you have not been around, I have wanted to see you all the time."
Hearing this, Yu Shi was dumbfounded, Xie Jun supported his forehead, Liu Ce blinked, and leaned over to Xie Jun's ear.
"Hey, who's this?"
ββ¦β¦ Old knowledge of the general. Xie Jun twitched the corners of his mouth, and could only come up with this vague answer.
"Can't I see that they're old acquaintances?" Liu Ce glared at Xie Jun and asked in a low voice, "What kind of old acquaintance is it?" β
ββ¦β¦ A deep-rooted old acquaintance. β
Liu Ce was speechless: "Xie Junshi, can you speak human language?" β
Xie Jun shook his head and said, "Please forgive your sins, the minister is stupid." β
How do you want him to explain this meeting, this conversation?
Hearing Li Shao's words, the eldest grandson Boyi was also stunned, looking at Li Shao who was smiling, the eldest grandson Boyi couldn't guess Li Shao's thoughts at the moment.
"Do you know where Li Zheng went?"
Li Shao nodded and said: "There are three secret passages under Chang'an City, leading to Puzhou, Juzhou and Liangzhou respectively, the secret passages stretch for dozens of miles, some are as long as 100 miles, each secret passage has nearly ten forks, more than 20 exits, two or three secret rooms, after you killed Li Yuanshan, Shizong ordered someone to dig it. Li Zheng fled after the army surrounded Chang'an City, probably through a secret passage. β
The Sejong in Li Shao's mouth is Li Shao's father and the enemy of the eldest grandson Boyi, who died of a violent illness three years ago, leaving only this bad debt with the eldest grandson.
Yu Shi said angrily: "Damn, they dug so many secret passages, are they voles?" β
Li Shao looked at the eldest grandson Boyi intently, and said with a chuckle: "Shizong knows that you will come back sooner or later, and Li Zheng is even more scared, and only by digging this secret passage for escape as complicated as possible, will they feel at ease." β
The eldest grandson Boyi also looked at Li Shao and asked coldly, "Since there is a secret passage, why don't you escape?" β
"Because I want to see you," Li Shao said without hesitation, "although others have advised me that my days are still long, I know that this is probably the last chance to meet you." And I only know that they dug the secret passage, but I don't know where the entrance to the secret passage is. β
"You don't know?" The eldest grandson Boyi stared at Li Shao closely, not letting go of any slight change in Li Shao's expression.
"Why do you think I'll know?" Li Shao asked with a smile.
"You fucking know that there are several forks in the secret passage, how can you not know where the entrance to the secret passage is?" Yu Shi stepped to the side of the eldest grandson Boyi with an arrow step, and said angrily, "General, I see that this person is flamboyant, maybe he deliberately stayed to delay time for that dog emperor!" General, do you want him to suffer a little? β
Hearing this, Li Shao couldn't help but chuckle, then lowered his eyes, no longer looked at the eldest grandson Boyi, but did not make any other movements.
Eldest Sun Boyi narrowed his eyes.
Let Li Shao suffer a little? What good can that be? According to his understanding of Li Shao, if he Li Shao doesn't want to say anything, even if he drains his blood, he can't force him to speak, if Li Shao really wants to delay time for Li Zheng, then it is in line with his mind to torture him, and if there is that time, it is better to send someone to search for the entrance of the secret passage immediately.
"Yu Shi, you immediately take someone to find the entrance to the secret passage, and look for it in this palace. Xie Jun, arrange people to strictly guard the Zilan Palace, and not even a fly is allowed to enter or leave! β
"Yes!"
Yu Shi and Xie Jun responded in unison, and then each led the team to complete their respective tasks.
And Li Shao, who heard this arrangement, raised his head and looked at the eldest grandson Boyi in surprise.
"Won't you kill me?"
"Kill you?" The eldest grandson Boyi leaned over to Li Shao and sneered, "How can there be such a cheap thing!" I'm the only one left in the eldest grandson clan, do you know how I've been here for the past ten years? My loved ones were killed right in front of my eyes, and in the past ten years, my eyes were full of scarlet in every dream, and their cries, their curses, and their instructions have been lingering in my ears. I was determined to defend my family and country, but in the past ten years, every time I swung a knife and cut off the heads of my clan, do you know the heart-wrenching feeling? How many times when I was awakened by a nightmare, I asked why God didn't let me die, and it was more painful to live than to die! β
Li Shao lowered his head, and only spoke after a while, and asked in a flat voice, "So you want me to experience all these pains as well?" β
The eldest grandson Boyi leaned forward again, and whispered in Li Shao's ear: "It's strange that Shizong died early, and my father's debt was repaid, and my revenge will naturally fall on you." Pray that I can capture Li Zheng alive, and in that case, someone will help you share it. β
When the words fell, the eldest grandson Boyi quickly withdrew and strode out of the Zilan Hall without a trace of hesitation.
Liu Ce hurriedly chased after him, Xie Jun looked at Li Shao, who was silent, and didn't know what to do for a while.
"You go and search the inside and outside of the Zilan Hall again. As for the guards of the Zilan Palace, there are four guards at the front and back doors, ten steps outside the wall, and two others are arranged to patrol the hall. β
"Yes!" The guards who remained in the Purple Orchid Hall responded in unison, and then all left, first to search, and then arrange their own guard positions.
When only Xie Jun, Li Shao, Yunzhu and Deng Yi were left in the main hall, Xie Jun walked in front of Li Shao and squatted.
"Your Highness, you ...... You okay? β
Even he didn't expect the eldest grandson to say such a stinging word to the Third Highness. The eldest grandson's life was saved by someone sent by the Third Highness, and he said to the Third Highness like this, how heartbroken should the Third Highness be? Even if the eldest grandson didn't know, he shouldn't have said this to the Third Highness.
