Chapter 27 The mud boat crosses the sea and recites Rokko 19
.
Seeing this, the high priest wanted to stop it, but it was too late, and his heart immediately trembled, looked at the post in his hand, looked at Li Bai again, and said secretly, "This is over, Qiuzi has finally found a reason to attack." After all, this poisonous wine is not ordinary, there is a Gu hidden in it, if you drink it, it cannot be taken out of the body, and within three days, it will ulcerate all over your body, turn into blood and water and die.
Li Ke and Yuewa's hearts also trembled, and they also secretly said, "It's over, Bai'er has rebelled against the king's will, and the whole family will suffer." Only Hou Gui stood beside him with a confused expression, not knowing the situation at this time, and he couldn't even say anything, for fear of adding chaos. But out of worry, he wanted to step up to Li Bai to comfort and comfort, but at this time, Li Bai's poisonous wine happened to be drunk, and he glared at everyone and asked, "Are you happy now?" Hum! ”
As soon as he said that, he raised his hand, exerted his strength, and threw the jade cup in his hand to the ground. With the crisp and deafening sound of 'dangchang', it shattered all over the ground, frightening everyone. Especially Li Ke and Yuewa, they said in their hearts that this crime is even more serious, and the Li Mansion has to be completely finished.
In an instant, the atmosphere became so solemn, no one spoke, and they didn't know how to speak. Whether it was the high priest who was dressed as the king, Li Ke, Yuewa, and Hou Gui, or the civil and military generals who were seated at the banquet, they all looked at it with surprise on their faces.
And Li Bai didn't speak after breaking the jade cup, nor did he bother with Yuewa and Li Ke, and made a loud whistle at the night sky, 'smacking' the ground, like a big eagle screaming. Not long after, I saw a white-haired brocade squirrel flying from the edge of the sky and landing in front of everyone. So, I heard Li Bai say: "Dad, mother, the child has gone home!" When the sound fell, Li Bai jumped on the back of the rat and walked away.
Seeing this, Li Ke and Yuewa also stayed for a short time, and on the grounds of worry, they hastily bid farewell to the monarch and the military generals present, and chased Li Bai away. Hou Gui didn't leave, and he couldn't leave, he still had to wait to get the king's post, and he could get out of the emperor's palace the next day.
On the other hand, Li Bai did return home after riding a white-haired brocade mouse, and he didn't lie. But as soon as he arrived, he locked himself in the study, not only locking the bolts, but also moving some tables, chairs and benches to block them. When Li Ke and Yuewa arrived, no matter how hard they persuaded or apologized, Li Bai didn't listen, and his ears were blocked.
Li Ke and Yuewa had no choice but to withdraw, and after making sure that Li Bai was fine, they didn't bother anymore, wanting to wait for him to calm down before talking. But I never expected that Li Bai would hide for three whole days, and it was difficult for anyone to persuade him, and the same was true for Hou Gui.
Three days later, Li Bai ran out of the study by himself, the reason was simple, he was hungry. Although Li Ke and Yuewa give Li Bai food and drink every day, and they are his favorite food, this amount is insufficient, just to cushion the stomach, not full, and not hungry. Then set up a stove outside the study and boiled all kinds of delicacies and fragrant soup as temptations, but in the end, Li Bai couldn't bear it anymore and slipped out.
"Bai'er!" Li Ke quietly jumped behind him and asked, "Are you still angry with your father and mother?" ”
"Humph! Not at all! Li Bai said this on his lips, but not in his heart, while sitting on the ground drinking soup, he said: "The child just can't understand, why do my father and mother force me to do what I don't want to do?" I thought about it for three days and didn't figure it out. ”
"The time is also, the environment is also. Let's ask how many people can do whatever they want in life? In addition to self-blame, Li Ke also sighed a little sadly: "Bai'er, if you don't drink that day, it will be tantamount to disrespecting the monarch, he has the right in his hands, and he may put our Li family to death at any time." ”
Li Bai didn't speak, and continued to drink the soup with relish, but he couldn't help but have a trace of turmoil in his heart, as if he understood something. And at this moment, Yuewa suddenly looked hurried, and hurriedly rushed to Li Bai's approach, crying with all kinds of worries, and said, "Bai'er, Bai'er, are you okay?" Do you feel uncomfortable in any way? Tell my mother, hurry! ”
"Madame!" Li Ke was stunned, feeling that Yuewa's expression was wrong, and asked, "What happened?" ”
Yuewa didn't reply to him, as if she didn't hear it, and continued to look at Li Bai. Immediately, Hou Gui also hurriedly flew over and said, "Master, take a step to speak." ”
"Hou Gui!" Li Ke was anxious: "What happened to the big deal?" ”
"Sir!" Hou Gui seemed to be afraid of being heard by Li Bai, so he leaned into Li Ke's ear and said, "The wine that the little young master drank three days ago is poisonous!" ”
"Ho!" Li Ke was immediately taken aback and asked urgently: "What the hell is going on?" Isn't that wine the king's respect? How can it be poisonous? ”
"Master, it's not the real monarch who toasts." Hou Gui, paused, said, "It's the high priest!" She's alive! ”
"Ho!" Li Ke was taken aback again, and became even more anxious: "Hou Gui, don't sell Guanzi, hurry up and tell me the whole story." ”
"Sir!" Hou Gui said, "Do you remember the old slave who handed the salute to the monarch? In order to ridicule the Turkic monarch, the king of Qiuzi specially asked the old slave to use the book written by the Tang seal. It stands to reason that the monarch should not be able to understand it, after all, the Turks have rules that the monarch cannot learn Tang culture, especially writing. But that night, the monarch saw the worship post word for word, and it was clear. ”
"Shhh Li Ke pondered.
"And the master!" Hou Gui said again: "The old slave received news that the high priest has returned to the palace. ”
"How is this possible?" Li Ke didn't believe it, and said: "Even if the high priest is not dead, how can she dare to return to the palace?" She flooded the Turks and killed so many people, how could the people let her go? ”
"Master, she has changed her appearance! This did not seem to be a difficult task for the high priest. Hou Gui paused suddenly, took out a note from his arms, handed it to Li Ke, and said, "Look, master! ”
Li Ke opened it and saw two lines of words written on it in Turkic characters, saying: "The high priest has changed his face and returned to the palace, and the wine is poisonous. ’
"This is ......" Li Ke was stunned for a while, and paused for a moment before saying: "Hou Gui, who is this who is sending the news?" Can it be conclusive? ”
"Monarch!" Hou Gui said, "It was sent by the true monarch." ”
"This ......"
Li Ke didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly turned around and rushed outside the study to see if Li Bai was in trouble. Unexpectedly, he had just arrived, and before he could ask, he saw Li Bai's eyes suddenly rise, and then his whole body trembled, and the whole person immediately fell to the ground, curled up and foamed at the mouth, shaking non-stop, and the three of them were frightened.
Fortunately, Li Ke reacted quickly enough, picked up Li Bai violently, and rushed out of the house without saying a word. Then he rushed to the nearest medical hall like a fly, and handed over to an old man of about seventy years here to look, smell, ask, and cut. After a while, this old man helped Li Bai take his pulse, his brows furrowed, and he said, "Strange! It's weird! I have been practicing medicine for decades, and I have never seen such a strange thing! The noble prince actually starved the Gu worms in his body to death! Weird! It's weird! ”
