Chapter Ninety-Eight: Ascension
Inside the dungeon in the Captain's Mansion. The torch is lit, and the smell of alcohol and moisture is mixed and permeated.
Yanbei was firmly tied to a cold stone pillar. He stared coldly at the white-robed, white-eyebrowed, white-bearded old man opposite.
The white-eyed old man lay idly and comfortably on a wicker chair, his legs stacked on the edge of the wooden table near the front.
There are chicken, duck, fish, etc., on the wooden table, about seven or eight dishes. The old man was pregnant with a wine jar, and he looked at Yanbei coldly with an expressionless expression.
Next to the white-eyed old man, there stood a rough man with his arms crossed and arrogant.
The big man is in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and bulging eyes, a fat mouth, and a short coat that is wide open, revealing curly heart hair.
There was a faint sound of very light footsteps above, and then, Xiahou Ye, who was dressed in a purple robe, came down the stairs leisurely with his hands behind his back.
Several jailers saluted him respectfully, and after nodding his head with extraordinary grace, he hugged his fists at the old man and said, "Master! Is the wine still agreeable? ”
Later, he hugged his fists to the big man and called out, "Senior brother!" ’
Dahan Batu arched his hand towards Xiahou Ye with a big grin, and wrapped his arms around him.
The old man rubbed his eyes and praised: "This kid has good eyes, the old man, I can't keep an eye on him!" ”
Xiahou Ye smiled, turned to look at Yanbei, and looked carefully.
The person in front of him was as white as snow, a standard beautiful man, and it was rare that there was a wisp of nobility between his eyebrows.
Nanhai Yisu Jiang Yiweng said: "In vain! Are you sure this kid is the crown prince? ”
I haven't seen Ji Tianlou for more than ten years, and Xiahou Ye can't be sure, he was silent for a while, and said: "The facial features are vaguely similar to the young prince, it is rumored that the prince is in King Rong's mansion, and according to the news, he is on an equal footing with King Rong all the way." Come to think of it, it should be the crown prince. ”
"That's a good point! The King of Glory is still protecting him! Jiang Yiweng touched his chin and smoothed his goatee, and then said strangely: "I don't understand it for the teacher." Since you pointed out that the woman smiled for Pear Blossom, why did you tell King Rong and the others that it was Pear Blossom Smile for the teacher? ”
Xiahou smiled predictively: "That case has become an iron case, what if another pear blossom smiles?" What's more, the emperor's mind has long wanted to get rid of my Xiahou clan and Jiang clan. Let the master say that it is pear blossom and smile, but it is just to solve the doubts in the hearts of people in the world. ”
Jiang Yiweng paced back and forth a few times behind Xiahou Night. "You are a testimony in a qiē case. It should be to solve the suspicions of the people of the world about you! ”
"Master is wise! The apprentice can't hide it from the master! Xiahou Ye bowed his head to Jiang Yiweng and hugged his fists to show respect.
The corners of Jiang Yiweng's mouth twitched, and he kicked Xiahou Ye's ass, "You kid, it's just like this." Lao Tzu has set the black pot for you. ”
Xiahou Ye dodged for a moment, and then offered a laugh, "Master is invincible in the world, who will compete!" What if it's really pear blossom smiling? ”
The sycophants are extremely well photographed, and they are very thoughtful. Jiang Yiweng smiled and touched his eyebrows.
When Xiahou looked at Yanbei again, Jiang Yiweng said: "Although I didn't kill King Rong. But the prince is already here. Go away for the teacher! ”
Xiahou Ye turned around and said with a smile: "Now the city is full of soldiers, and the situation is complicated. Master should not go out. The apprentice had already prepared five beauties for the master to lie on the couch in Lihuayuan. ”
After he finished speaking, he shouted out and pierced the sky.
Thorn Tian came in, listened to his instructions, bowed down and took Jiang Yiweng and Batu and walked out.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and Xiahou Ye circled around Yanbei, and stopped when he walked in front of Yanbei, "I haven't seen you for many years!" Are you alright? ”
Yanbei turned his head slightly. Try to raise your chin as high as possible to express the dignity of your status.
In order to test whether Yanbei is the crown prince Ji Tianlou, Xiahou Ye began to weave lies and temptations based on his childhood memories and facts, "I remember that thirteen years ago, when I was twelve years old, the emperor took you, me, Chu Mo and a group of guards to hunt together. The weather was excellent that day, and a white-fronted tiger suddenly came into view. The tiger was cunning and ferocious, and when we got near, it pounced on me. Everyone is on guard. In the end, you and Chu Mo, who were still standing close to me, stepped forward and raised their daggers with me to meet it. Chu Mo took a step slower, and the dagger didn't stab. But you stabbed it in the neck at the same time as my dagger. ”
There is the fact of rescue. But at that time, Tianlou was not yet six years old, and he was only close to the body of a tiger.
The fact should be that Jiang Chumo, who was a little younger Xiahou Ye, moved one step faster, and stabbed the tiger in the neck with Xiahou Ye with a dagger. It was also at that time that Ji Ming had extremely high expectations for the young Jiang Chumo.
This incident was later rumored to be the crown prince Shenwei by the person who slipped the whisker and patted the horse, and he solved the tiger with a dagger and saved Xiahou Ye. No one corrected. And so it has been passed on.
This matter, if Yanbei does not correct it, it proves that Yanbei is not Ji Tianlou.
Yanbei snorted and didn't say anything. If he was tempted, he knew that not taking a stand was the best answer.
Xiahou Ye sighed and slowly untied the rope for Yanbei, "Your Highness! I have no ill will towards you. This is only done to protect Your Highness! ”
The rope was untied, and Xiahou Ye carefully helped Yanbei and walked towards the chair, "King Rong is respectful to His Highness on the surface, but in fact, he has already usurped the throne. It is too dangerous for His Highness to stay with King Rong. Asking my master to kill King Rong is just to eradicate a great trouble for His Highness. ”
Yanbei sat down in the chair, and Xiahou Ye politely poured him tea and handed it respectfully.
Looking at the chicken, duck and fish on the table and swallowing the saliva in his throat, Yanbei did not reach out to take the tea, and turned his head again, ignoring Xiahou Ye.
Xiahou Ye awkwardly maintained the waiting action of the previous second, and after a while, the patience in his heart was exhausted.
The teacup was thrown hard at the stone wall, and he strode to the stone staircase.
"Watch him!"
Then the words came, and several jailers rushed up and tied Yanbei to the stone pillar.
The next day, the Taiwei Mansion, which had been noisy for a long night, had just returned to calm. At noon, Gonggong Qin walked into the mansion with a team of palace people.
Gonggong Qin held the holy decree in his hand. The palace people held all kinds of expensive and rare rewards in their hands.
In the main hall, the radiant Xiahou knelt down to listen to the oracle.
The holy decree was respectfully handed to Xiahou Ye by Gonggong Qin, and Gonggong Qin said with a smile: "Congratulations on your promotion to the rank of captain!" ”
Xiahou Ye took the holy decree, bowed to Gonggong Qin, and then took out a bulging pouch from his sleeve and handed it to Gonggong Qin, and said in his mouth: "In the future, I hope that Gonggong will have a lot of good words in front of the emperor!" ”
Gonggong Qin pushed it away and said with a smile: "Lord Taiwei is young and promising, that's natural!" ”
However, Xiahou insisted on it at night, and there were many mouths, so Gonggong Qin no longer shirked and put the lotus bag in his sleeve.
In front of the door, under the command of the piercing sky, the subordinates were already receiving those bounty gifts. Gonggong Qin greeted Xiahou at night. The god of Tianlou, who was accompanied by a guard, unknowingly touched the depths of the house.
Seeing off Gonggong Qin and his party, Xiahou Ye took Tingtian, A Jackal, A Wolf, A Ying, A Wang, and a few little maids holding rewards in their hands to Youlanju. (To be continued.) )
