After a while, when they returned, someone had already lit an oil lamp in their cell.

Lu Xiaoxian squatted in front of the hated water, carefully helped him sit up, and let him lean against the wall.

With the faint light of the fire, Lu Xiaoxian looked at the dignity of the hated water and couldn't help but shake his head. His face was haggard, his hair was unkempt, and several wounds on his body were still oozing blood, staining his clothes red.

Obviously, hating the water is subject to severe caning.

Lu Xiaoxian raised his eyebrows and said softly: "It seems that you have suffered a lot of crimes!" ”

As he spoke, he reached out and uncovered the clothes of the hated waters.

The hatred water was powerless to stop it, and said with a frown: "What are you going to do?" ”

"To medicate you, of course!" Lu Xiaoxian's hand stopped in mid-air, "This is the best gold medicine I specially asked for from Captain Chen, if you don't treat this wound in time, it will be very troublesome later!" ”

Hatred Shui glanced at Lu Xiaoxian: "Thank you!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian carefully uncovered the clothes that were stuck to the wound by the blood of the hatred water, he inhaled in pain, his face turned from yellow to red to purple and then to white, his palms were dripping with sweat, his whole body kept shaking, and he didn't even have the strength to moan.

Lu Xiaoxian was very careful to help Hate Shui with the medicine, his eyebrows were twisted, his eyes were almost protruding from their sockets, beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his head, and the green tendons on his arms burst out.

"That's it!" Finally, Lu Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing this, the hateful water closed his eyes, like mud, and his body suddenly became shorter.

Lu Xiaoxian clapped his hands and stood up, shook his head and said with a little regret: "Originally, I brought wine and food, with your current situation, I'm afraid you will not be blessed!" ”

Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Hatred Water suddenly opened his eyes: "Who said that I was blessed?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian had a smile on his face, but he didn't speak.

Hatred Shui Qiang stiffened up, twisted his face and said, "Since you brought it, can you take it back?" Hurry up and put it on the table! ”

Lu Xiaoxian nodded, and put the wine and food he brought in front of the hateful water one by one.

Hatred Shui was not polite, picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth and chewed it, and asked vaguely while eating: "Master Lu, you tell me the truth, is this my last meal?" ”

"Yes!" Lu Xiaoxian nodded honestly, and then shook his head again, "It's not!" ”

"Yes or no!" Hatred Shui glanced at Lu Xiaoxian dissatisfiedly, "Master Lu, it's not me talking about you, just say it if you have something to say, treat me like a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, this is not your style!" ”

"Zamp has decided to put you to death, I'm going to beg Zampu to let you go! Zampu also promised me, let me persuade you, if you can change your mind, you don't have to die! Lu Xiaoxian said very seriously, "I came with wine and food, and I wanted to persuade you while drinking with you." However, after I saw you just now, I could already see from your eyes that you had the heart of death, and persuasion was in vain. Therefore, this meal should be my send-off for you, and it will not be in vain for us to get acquainted! ”

Hate Shui glanced at Lu Xiaoxian, didn't speak, picked up the wine bowl in front of him, and poured all the barley wine in the bowl into his mouth.

Lu Xiaoxian also drank a bowl silently, which can be regarded as drinking with him.

Wiping the wine juice flowing from the corner of his mouth, he said lightly: "I know this Tubo Zampu too well, he hates Da Yan to the extreme, and he will never let go of anyone who is close to Da Yan, how can he agree to let you persuade me?" ”

"It seems that you know Zamp well, and he really doesn't intend to let you go. But I vouched for you, so he had to agree! ”

Hatred Shui looked at Lu Xiaoxian suspiciously: "Zampu has always been reluctant to adopt other people's opinions, even if you are an envoy of the Great Zhou, why would he listen to you?" ”

"It's easy! Because I made a deal with him! ”

"What agreement?"

Lu Xiaoxian's eyes were blazing and said, "In your judgment, what other agreement can be reached between me and Zampu?" ”

Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Hatred Shui's face turned pale in an instant, and he had already thought of the worst outcome.

"Why? Why would you do this? What's in it for you? Hatred Water seems to have forgotten that he still has injuries on his body, and can't help but ask questions again and again.

Lu Xiaoxian asked rhetorically: "If you were me, what would you do?" ”

Hate Water sighed and stopped talking.

"To be honest, I don't like you very much, let's not talk about you secretly calculating me for the time being, even if I don't care, but making friends with you is a very boring thing." Lu Xiaoxian spoke very politely, "Despite this, I finally decided to save your life!" ”

Hatred glanced at Lu Xiaoxian, but still didn't speak.

"Don't be unconvinced, you think it's a good thing for Da Zhou to let you live and continue to work for Tubo!" Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxian laughed at himself, "I'm a person! Sometimes the heart is hard, but sometimes the heart is soft! If I really want to find a reason why I helped you, I'm afraid it's because I asked you to come to some cities, and I have to bring you and your sons here! ”

At the beginning, Qili Xu had to let Hate Water go to Luo Some City with him, and Hate Water had already keenly felt that there must be something wrong here, but he couldn't say that there was anything wrong. Now he finally understands that all this was planned by Lu Xiaoxian in advance!

Lu Xiaoxian paused and asked apologetically, "You must hate me now, right?" ”

"I don't hate you!" Hatred Water sighed, "You and I are our own masters, and it makes sense to do anything!" It's like I used to calculate on you at the beginning, and I know very well that you don't hate me either. In fact, even if there is no you, Zampu will not let me go, it's just a matter of whether it's a day later or a day earlier! ”

Lu Xiaoxian nodded slightly, it seems that Hate Water has already made a conclusion about his future.

"In order to get rid of his own big arguments, he did not hesitate to reach an agreement with the enemy country. With his unscrupulous ruthlessness to achieve his goals, Da Yan will not be his opponent! Hateful Water shook his head desperately, "The big argument will definitely fail, this is God's will, it's a pity that I can't help him!" ”

"Do you remember your grandfather Li Junxian?" Lu Xiaoxian asked suddenly.

Hatred Shui's face sank: "What do you mean by asking?" ”

"Regardless of the grievances between Emperor Taizong and your grandfather, in all fairness, Taizong is also a Ming monarch!"

Taizong has a grudge against the hatred of the water, and because of this, he will spare no effort to help Qinling deal with the Tang Dynasty. But what Lu Xiaoxian said is right, if you don't talk about personal grievances, Hate Shui has to admit that when it comes to being an emperor, there are really few people who have surpassed Taizong since ancient times.

"The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. Even if a Ming monarch like Taizong wants to kill his courtiers in vain, it is an easy matter, let alone Tubo Zampu? Zampu hated Qinling to the core, and if he wanted to pull out this nail, Qinling would not even have room to resist. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Hateful Shui smiled sarcastically, "Are you trying to persuade me to be aware of current affairs?" ”

"Are you really planning to bury the Qin Tomb?" Lu Xiaoxian didn't answer, but asked directly, "Even if you don't think about yourself, don't you think about the whole family of more than 20 people?" ”

Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, the hatred water couldn't help but tremble again, Lu Xiaoxian's words hit his vital point.

Back then, Li Junxian was convicted, and several of his sons were implicated and punished. Because of his young age, his father who hated water was assigned to Maozhou and escaped a catastrophe, and his vein can be regarded as a continuation of Li Junxian's fireworks.

Later, his father and the hated water went to Tibet, and they went through hardships to get to where they are today.

Qiu Tao is the eldest son of Hate Shui, he became a family in Tubo and gave birth to two grandsons for Hate Shui. In addition to Qiu Tao, Hate Water also has three sons and a daughter, all of whom live in the city of Luo.

Now, this big family is implicated in the hatred of the water, and all of them are in prison. If the incense of the Li family ends because of hatred of water, how can he have the face to meet his ancestors and ancestors in the underworld.

However, let the hated water betray Qinling, he can't do such a thing no matter what.

The hateful water was in a dilemma, and the pain in his heart was far greater than the pain in his body at this moment.

After a long time, Hatred Water finally made a choice, and his tone became calmer: "Maybe what you said makes sense, but I really can't betray Da Yi." You won't understand this emotion! ”

Lu Xiaoxian didn't speak, waiting for his next step.

"My father was sent to Maozhou, where he eventually became a family, and then my father gave birth to my son. I'm afraid you won't know how difficult it is to survive there in Maozhou, as a wild land. I still remember the most difficult year, my mother starved to death because of the famine, and my father was poor and sick and dying. ”

When he said this, Hatred Shui's face was very calm, but Lu Xiaoxian could feel the waves in his heart.

Lu Xiaoxian has a personal experience of the life of the exiles, and of course he knows what the experience told by the hated water means to a young child.

"In the most desperate time, it was Da Lun who sent someone to cure my father's illness, and took our father and son to Tibet, and gave us great courtesy. It is precisely because of the life-saving grace of the great treatise that my father and I will do our best to help him. If there was no big talk, my father and I would have died in Maozhou a long time ago, so how can we talk about today's choice? The lives of these 20 or so mouthfuls are still the life-saving grace of the year! ”

Hate Shui said very decisively, and at this moment, Lu Xiaoxian really discovered that Hate Shui is a person who values love and righteousness.

Somehow, Lu Xiaoxian's heart suddenly gave birth to a sense of relief: it seems that he didn't see the wrong person.

If Hate Shui betrayed Qinling because he cared about his family's lives, Lu Xiaoxian would probably be in a different mood.

Hate Water's difficult decision strengthened Lu Xiaoxian's confidence, and he had to save Hate Water and his family's lives.
