Chapter Forty-Six: How Long Will I Be Imprisoned?
Zhang Guangsheng didn't care about everyone's eyes, he walked outside the bars of the cell and looked at Li An who was sitting cross-legged, his expression was a little complicated.
Ang Lee sniffed his nose and smelled the wine and food in the basket, and spent a day in the cell, smelling the stinking air and eating poor food, which made Ang Lee particularly sensitive to food.
"Good wine and good food are here, what is this for, it won't be the last meal!" Li An's head was shocked, could it be that he guessed wrong, Wang Zhongji moved to kill.
"Li Shaolang, the food in the cell is too poor, there are delicious wine and dishes here, you can taste it."
Zhang Guangsheng lifted the basket and handed the food inside into the fence in the same way.
"Smack......."
Li Kunxiong easily smashed a jar of fine wine and reprimanded: "Take it, we are not rare." ”
"Kunxiong, Guangsheng is also a piece of kindness, since the good wine and food have been delivered, what are we polite."
Li Fei Shouyu's expression was calm, he picked up a plate of cooked mutton, smelled it, with a very cool expression, and said softly: "It's so fragrant, thank you." Then he feasted.
"Zhang Guangsheng, in vain my eldest brother saved your life, you are so unjust, the eldest brother was arrested and put in prison, you don't even dare to let go of a fart."
Li Kunxiong's anger did not diminish in the slightest, and he seemed to be furious.
Zhang Guangsheng smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, and said helplessly: "If I go in, who will bring you wine and food." ”
Li An was slightly stunned and looked at Zhang Guangsheng: "What, didn't Wang Jieshuai ask you to come?" ”
From this sentence, Li An felt that Zhang Guangsheng came to deliver the wine and food by himself, and it was very likely that Wang Zhongji did not know about this matter.
Zhang Guangsheng smiled bitterly again, paused, and looked at Li An: "Li Shaolang, I have already inquired clearly, Wang Jieshuai wants to lock you up for a period of time first, polish your arrogance, don't expect to go out for a while, the food in the cell is poor, I will send food every day." After saying that, he strode away at the urging of the jailer.
"Shut it down for a while to hone your arrogance."
Li An muttered a few words to himself, and suddenly shouted: "Zhang Guangsheng, you come back for me, come back." ”
Despite Ang Lee's hoarseness, Zhang Guangsheng has already walked away.
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
Seeing Li An's sweat on his forehead, Li Kunxiong asked nervously.
Li An said urgently: "You forgot, Li Hanlu said that he would wait for me in Zhuolu Valley in three days with the young buds, if I have been trapped here, don't miss the time." ”
When everyone heard this, they suddenly remembered that there was such a thing, and they couldn't help frowning.
"Big brother, what should I do? We were trapped in prison, and if we didn't get out in time, we really wouldn't see the sprouts. ”
"It's okay, I can't help it."
Li An was really anxious at the moment, he was pacing back and forth in the cell, Wang Zhongji didn't ask anything, and directly wanted to lock him up for a while, which he didn't expect in advance, and in this way, he would inevitably miss the agreement with Li Hanlu.
"Come on, let me out, I want to see Wang Jieshuai."
Ang Lee kicked the fence of the prison with his foot and yelled loudly.
"Are they all dead? I want to see Wang Jieshuai. ”
Although Li An yelled hoarsely, the prison guards did not seem to hear him, and did not react at all, neither scolding nor questioning, leaving Li An at a loss.
In fact, these were all explained by Wang Zhongsi in advance, in order to sharpen Li An's temperament and kill his arrogance.
"Bastards, these bastards are deaf."
The cell where Li An was held was an iron fence, and he was kicked for most of the day without any damage, which made it impossible for Li An to break out.
"It's okay, there's still a day and a half to go, and when Zhang Guangsheng delivers food tomorrow, he can let him go to Zhuolu Valley."
Li Fei Shouyu suddenly thought of Zhang Guangsheng and thought that only Zhang Guangsheng could complete this task.
When Li An heard this, he nodded hurriedly, like a drowning man who suddenly saw a life-saving straw. There was a glimmer of hope in my heart.
###
Zhang Qiqiu's mansion, Wang Zhongsi picked up a cup of tea, took a sip gently, and then put it on the few cases in front of him, raised his eyes to look at the jailer standing with his head on his head, and asked about the situation of Li An and the others.
The jailer didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and reported truthfully: "Jieshuai, they stopped yesterday, but today they suddenly became a little irritable, shouting in the prison, shouting to see Jieshuai. ”
"Hmph, it's only been a day to be in a hurry like this, how can such an impetuous and impetuous thing become a big thing, it seems that it must be closed for a few more days." Wang Zhongsi reprimanded softly and continued to ask, "Have anyone seen them today?" ”
The jailer said truthfully: "Hui Jieshuai, at noon today, Zhang Junenvoy and a young man came with wine and food, but the military envoy did not enter the prison, only asked Shaolang to give wine and food to a few people in the prison, and then left. ”
Wang Zhongsi grinned: "This Zhang Qiqiu is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, Li An saved his life, and he deserves it." With that, he waved his hand and asked the jailer to leave.
After the jailer walked away, Ge Shuhan stepped forward and said, "Jie Shuai, the Turkic situation is becoming more and more tense, and we are afraid that we will delay the big thing if we stay here for a long time." ”
Wang Zhongsi disagreed, and said softly: "No matter how tense the Turkic situation is, I don't care about the past few days, the Tibetan army that has entered Kouulzhou has just been driven away by us, and the people's hearts have not yet settled down, and the people are afraid that the Tibetan army will come again, if we leave rashly, it will make the people of Ulzhou lose their sense of security." ”
Hearing this, Ge Shuhan nodded slightly, he knew that Wang Zhongsi was a general who loved the people very much, and in order to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, he had fought in the south and north for many years, and defeated the Tibetan army that invaded the people of the Tang Dynasty again and again.
And the reason why Wang Zhongsi wanted to stay in Ulzhou for a few more days was that in addition to the need to calm the people's hearts, he was still worried about Li An's affairs.
If Li An did not let go of the remnants of the Tibetan army in Zhuolu Valley, but captured and killed them alive, it would definitely be a great achievement, and Wang Zhonghei could summon Li An into his command very smoothly and promote him to a young general.
But Li An sent the remnants of the Tibetan army away, and also prevented his soldiers and horses from pursuing, so bold and reckless, contempt for military regulations, how could he not be angry, if he reused and promoted Li An in this way, what would the generals think, what would they think of themselves.
Li An showed such an impressive talent at a young age, which Wang Zhongsi admired very much, but Li An's unique arrogance of a young man and his unbelievable personality gave him a headache, and he had to think carefully about how to polish a piece of jade.
"Jieshuai, send a message from the direction of the capital."
A confidant handed over a letter to Wang Zhonghe.
Wang Zhongsi gently opened the letter, and after reading it, he frowned deeply.
####
In the cell of Anbian City, Li An and the five people were waiting for Zhang Guangsheng, and Zhang Guangsheng did not appear until after noon, which made Li An very anxious, and Kunxiong and Erniu began to scold, scolding Zhang Guangsheng for not believing his words.
"Big brother, Zhang Guangsheng, this kid is a muddy ball, and he hasn't come here for so long."
"This Tian Shelang is ruthless and unrighteous, we shouldn't believe him."
Li Fei Shouyu was not in a hurry or impatient, calmly picked up a piece of hard as a stone, opened his mouth and bit it, the food in the cell has always been relatively poor, but there is no problem with the stomach.
Li An had something on his mind, so he naturally had no appetite and didn't eat a bite, but he believed that Zhang Guangsheng would definitely come.
After dark, Zhang Guangsheng arrived late and prepared more wine and food than yesterday.
"Zhang Guangsheng, why are you only here now?"
Zhang Erniu accused loudly.
Zhang Guangsheng smiled slightly bitterly, he didn't know how to answer, he was just a small person, not that he could deliver food whenever he wanted, without Zhang Qiqiu coming forward, he was not qualified to be close to the prison at all, and he didn't like to explain very much, so he had to bear it silently.
Li An didn't care about eating and drinking at the moment, he grabbed Zhang Guangsheng's hands through the fence, told Zhang Guangsheng about his agreement with Li Hanlu, and asked Zhang Guangsheng to go to Zhuolu Valley immediately to pick up his relatives.
Zhang Guangsheng was shocked when he heard this, no wonder Li An would let go of the remnants of the Fan Army, it turned out to be the righteous sister in the hands of the Fan Army.
"Li Shaolang, don't worry, tomorrow morning, I will rush to Zhuolu Valley."
Li An shook his head and said, "Zhuolu Valley is so far away, it will take at least half a day, you better go now." ”
In Li An's opinion, if you set off at night, you can arrive at Zhuolu Valley early the next morning, and you can take the young buds to Anbian City before dark.
"Li Shaolang, it's curfew now, and the city gate won't open without the token of the festival commander."
"Then you have to find a way, you can go to General Zhang and General Guo for help."
Zhang Guangsheng nodded: "Don't worry, Li Shaolang, I will do my best." After saying that, he left the prison with an empty basket.
"Big brother, can Zhang Guangsheng really pick up the young sprouts?"
Li An sighed and said helplessly: "Otherwise, now, the only one who can help us is Zhang Guangsheng." ”
At this moment, Li An's mood can be described as very helpless, he has a sense of being tied hand and foot, and the reason why this is so is because he is not strong enough, he is just a small person, and he can be punished wantonly if he makes a mistake.
"Wang Zhongsi, are you really so ruthless? How long are you going to lock me up? ”
A trace of dissatisfaction welled up in Ang Lee's heart.
When Zhang Guangsheng walked out of the prison, he immediately told Zhang Qiqiu the reason why Li An had let go of the remnants of the Tibetan army, and asked to leave the city immediately and go to Zhuolu Valley.
When Zhang Qiqiu heard this, he immediately sighed, but he refused Zhang Guangsheng to go out of the city overnight on the pretext that Zhuolu Valley was only half a day's journey and he had time to set off early the next morning.
After all, it was getting late at this time, and Wang Zhongsi had already rested, so it was not good to disturb the boss for such a trivial matter, at least, in Zhang Qiqiu's opinion, the matter of the young sprouts was a trivial matter at all.
Zhang Guangsheng had no choice but to prepare the horses in advance and prepare to set off early the next morning to Zhuolu Valley.
