Chapter 95 Brothers Reunited
Wan Yanlie was captured and imprisoned, but the shadow killer accompanying him desperately escaped from Zhou's house. The shadow that could escape returned to Suiyuan and discussed countermeasures with Guo Sheng, but was blocked by the Imperial Forest Army led by Yao Minghao and Zuo Jizhong. Shadow and the forbidden army left behind in Suiyuan desperately resisted, and after a fierce battle, nearly a thousand forbidden troops were killed, wounded or captured, and only more than 200 people escaped.
Only this song has more than 200 people and a few wounded, not to mention rushing to the heavily guarded cell to save people, even self-preservation has now become a problem.
Guo Sheng, who didn't think about the consequences, still insisted on his opinion: "Shadow, you have been to the prison in the palace, you should know about the deployment inside, and the matter of investigation will be handed over to you." ”
The Shadow commanded, "Yes"
Guo Sheng thought about it and instructed: "When I see the prince, ask him to instruct, and we should make an appointment with the prince." ”
"Father-in-law, don't worry, the slave will definitely bring the words, and the father-in-law is here to wait for good news" got up and asked the others to hide and protect Guo Shengcai to leave with confidence.
Zhu Zhen never expected this situation, and he thought about how to explain to Wanyan Meizhu, and walked out of Huaixian Water Pavilion with a heavy heart. As soon as I walked to the garden, I met Liu Fuling, who had delivered medicine.
Liu Fuling stopped, saluted and said, "The villain Liu Fuling has seen the prince." ”
When he came over just now, Zhu Zhen, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, had already smelled what kind of medicine this was, pointed to the medicine cup in his hand and said, "The injury suffered by the prince is a traumatic injury, why do you want to make a medicinal soup." ”
Liu Fuling hesitated and said: "These villains don't know whether to say them or not, if they are not right, please forgive the prince." ”
Zhu Zhen waved his hand and said, "Speak." ”
Liu Fuling frowned and said, "When my young master was rescued, the injured prince also saw it. Let's not talk about the penetrating wounds on the abdomen and palms, even ten fingers were broken. If the villain doesn't say these words, the young master will definitely rot it in his stomach. Since it has been said about this, the villain will not hide it from the prince, and in this life, my young master is inseparable from this medicinal soup that invigorates the muscles and bones. Not only were his ten fingers not as flexible as before, but he had to endure pinprick pain when it was cloudy and rainy, and when it was cold and cold. The young master was already suffering from heart palpitations, and this torture made his body even more unbearable, I'm afraid 、、、、、、,that if the prince still misses a little uncle and nephew, let him be comfortable for a few days! ”
Hearing this, Zhu Zhen's brows became tighter and tighter, and said: "It will be so serious, you must know that the imperial doctors in the palace are the best, why is it difficult to save his life!" ”
"Avoid your own sharpness and cover your edge, this truth The young master understands, why he knows that he will cause trouble, but he still does not avoid it. Wang Ye Wise should have understood that he was pushed into this position and was in a dilemma, no matter how many pairs of eyes he was looking at it. He single-handedly quelled an uninterrupted civil strife, but so what? To do this, the young master has done his best, don't let him get hurt and die well, okay? Liu Fuling, begging the prince. So saying, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him a few times.
Knowing how wrong he had done, Zhu Zhen's heart could not be calm, and he stood there silently and deeply blamed himself.
At this time, Xiangyue came running from a distance, and hurriedly saluted in front of the two, and hurriedly bent over and said to Liu Fuling: "Mr. Liu, go and take a look!" The wound on my uncle's abdomen was bleeding profusely. ”
Liu Fuling hurriedly stood up and said, "It was fine just now, why did you 、、、、、、 it after such a while?"
Xiangyue glanced at Zhu Zhen and said, "Sir, don't ask about these things first, let's go to my aunt first!" ”
At this time, Liu Lingling understood what was going on, glanced at Zhu Zhen and said "um", and left with Xiangyue.
Zhu Zhen, who had sent off Liu and Lingling, stood by the lake with a thin layer of ice full of concern, looking at the white blank in his heart, and he was powerless than he had ever been.
Just when he was full of ambition, there was a creaking sound behind him, and before he could turn around, the person behind him spoke first: "The prince did the right thing, it was the fifth brother who took the blame for himself, why do you bother the prince." ”
With a gentle sigh and passing away with the wind, Zhu Zhen turned around, looked at Yan Meizhu and said helplessly: "This time is different from the past, I am no longer the general king who made great achievements in the war back then, I can't do anything about the eldest brother, I'm sorry." ”
Wanyan Meizhu raised her hand to dust off the snow that fell on his shoulders at some point, lowered her head and didn't look at his gloomy eyes, and said softly: "You didn't feel sorry for me, the war between countries was doomed to all the consequences as soon as it began, and the two opposing camps were different and there would eventually be today's situation, why should the third brother blame himself." ”
Zhu Zhen held her hand tightly and tried his best to prove and explain: "Meizhu I ...... it"
Before he could finish speaking, Wan Yan Meizhu interrupted: "Don't say anything, in order to save you from the crown prince and to stabilize the border of Daqi, he did not hesitate to take himself as Erbium, and when he was always worried about his life when he was severely punished, the fifth brother didn't think about letting him live." The prince did not immediately execute the fifth brother at this time, which is already benevolent and righteous, so why should we force it. If the third brother is trapped in fire and water again because he cares about my feelings, what face will Meizhu have to survive in the world! ”
Listening to her words, Zhu Zhen's heart was sad, yes! She has no country and no home for betraying the country for herself, and if she does this again at this time, she really won't leave her a way to live, and she can't help but secretly scold herself for being confused.
Zhu Zhen put her hand on his chest and said, "Meizhu, why don't we go and see him off for the last time?" ”
Wan Yan Meizhu grabbed his arm and walked with him: "The second brother has prepared wine and food and is waiting for us in the carriage." ”
Zhu Zhen held his arm and sighed: "I've been emotionally active for more than 20 years, and my second brother is more reasonable than me!" I should say sorry to my second brother. ”
"When did you have a displeasure with your second brother?"
Zhu Zhen pursed her lips and said nothing, patting her hand and just smiling lightly.
Near noon, the two carriages went out from the Zhou Mansion one after another, hundreds of meters apart, and went in the same direction.
Feng Shui turns to be the dominant tomorrow, yesterday was still beautiful, but today he has become a prisoner on the street, and he doesn't feel that life is like a dream.
Persisting for more than 20 years, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it will be empty in the end, and once the dream is broken, it will be incomplete, and all the energy will be completely crushed. The country cannot be returned; You can't go back to home; the separation of loved ones; and bear the dying will of his lover, Wan Yanlie at this time is really a complete loss! After only a few hours of imprisonment, he was no longer as majestic as he used to be, and his face was tired and haggard. He stood in front of the small window with his back to his back, closed his eyes and felt the freedom that no longer belonged to him, and he also fell into the memories of his youth, but now he can only leave that sigh.
The sound of chains pulled him back to reality, and under the urging of the Royal Foresters, a little two-looking person entered the cell.
I can't help but feel ironic, this cell was used to imprison Lu Jue at the beginning, but at this time, he was imprisoned. However, Lu Jue is still a gentleman, he has never taken advantage of the danger of others, he has not been tortured or embarrassed, except for his personal freedom being imprisoned, his life and rest are still the same.
After Xiao Er set up the meals and refreshments, he said, "It's ready, what are the instructions?" ”
Hearing this, Yan Lie was slightly stunned, turned his head and saw the shadow dressed as a little two, and he understood why, he was already in a catastrophe, and it was considered a virtue to let go of a person, and he walked to the table and was about to persuade him to leave, but before he could speak, he saw someone coming, and commanded in a low voice: "Don't act rashly, go quickly!" ”
The shadow looked at the approaching person and whispered, "Before anyone arrives at this time, the prince will change into the clothes of a servant and leave!" Just about to untie his belt, the Imperial Forest Army outside the door began to urge again, and seeing that there was no chance, the shadow said helplessly: "Lord, the outside is ready, the slave will come to rob the prison in the middle of the night, and the prince is ready." With that, he picked up the food box and left with the Imperial Guards.
Looking at the departing shadow, Yan Lie's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and someone couldn't help but see the difference, and he calmed down quietly. But the next few people who came in surprised him! The expressions of those people were clear at a glance, and they were here to see them off. Looking at a few people, he first smiled sarcastically, then lifted the teapot on the table, poured a few cups of tea each, and first opened his mouth to break the deadlock and said: "There is only bitter tea in the prison, if a few people don't dislike it, how about tasting it together." "Be the first to grab a glass and sit down to taste.
Zhu Zhen turned his head and asked the guard: "Didn't the prince order to serve well, why did he ......?"
"Don't blame them, this tea is what I want." Lift the teapot and pour another cup.
Zhu Zhen waved his hand to let people retreat, walked to sit down opposite him, holding the teacup in his hand and not how to speak. Zhou Wenfeng sat on the other side, picked up the bitter tea and drank it all, bitter in his mouth! This cup of Kuding tea is also like a few people's minds are hard to speak!
After finishing Yan Meizhu's steps, she poured a glass with a few people, broke the deadlock and said: "Fifth brother, look, the second brother has prepared wine and food, let's talk while drinking!" ”
Who knew that just when she was about to sit down, she was stopped by Wan Yanlie, "Okay, the wine and food are ready, you can leave first!" ”
Wan Yan Meizhu said anxiously in her heart: "Why do you want me to leave, is it that the fifth brother already hates me so much that he doesn't want to share the table with me!" ”
Wan Yanlie stared at Zhu Erren, got up and grabbed her shoulder, and said with a light smile: "It's already come to this point, what do you still talk about?" Meizhu, you are my sister, blood is thicker than water. ”
Wan Yan Meizhu held his hand tightly and pleaded: "Then don't drive me away, maybe this is the last time we will meet." ”
Wan Yanlie hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "What kind of stupid words, Ziyu is not a ruthless person, he won't kill me so soon, and there will be time in the future." The three of my brothers reunited, there are many heartfelt words to talk about, it is difficult to speak freely with you, it is better for you to leave first, and I will see you later. ”
After several efforts, she didn't stay as she wished, but she had no choice but to leave as ordered.
Not long after Yan Meizhu left, a person got down from the carriage parked on the side, this person was wearing a black cloak, which was particularly conspicuous in this white snowfield, and the person's face was even paler under the black cloak, and this person was none other than Lu Jue.
Coming out of the cell without the follower of the Royal Forest Army, the shadow secretly reconnoitred several terrains in his heart, and was about to leave after finishing who walked to the door of the prison and met Lu Jue who happened to come in, the two had a few faces, and the shadow was afraid that Lu Jue would recognize him, so he stopped aside and lowered his head, and he didn't even dare to come out. Afraid of something, Lu Jue actually stopped in front of him.
Helplessly, he hurriedly saluted: "The little one has seen the adult"
At this time, Lu Jue was full of worries and didn't pay attention to who this person was, looked at the food box and asked, "What kind of food did you bring for dinner?" ”
The shadow replied: "Back to my lord, all according to the adult's orders, two meat and two vegetables, a bowl of rice, a cup of soup to warm the stomach and keep out the cold, and a plate of pastries." ”
Lu Jue nodded to show that he understood, and then said: "The prince is a northerner, who likes meat, especially rabbit meat, and every meal is not happy, I sent someone to buy a few and sent them to Deyue Tower, you go and get them." ”
The Shadow responded, "Yes"
"Go," he ordered, and walked towards his cell
The shadow secretly looked at the departing Lu Jue and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then sped up his pace and left.
The accompanying night breeze looked at this person's back thoughtfully, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, and just when he was about to reach the door, his eyes lit up and remembered who this person was. He hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up with Lu Jue and said in a low voice: "Master, do you look familiar with that person!" He pointed to the shadow that had reached the door.
Lu Jue looked at the door, where the shadow was being inspected when he left, and when he saw that this person knew it in his heart, he immediately ordered: "Follow him and don't startle the snake." ”
"Yes," Nightwind commanded to leave.
After the night breeze left, Lu Jue and Lei Gang walked into the cell, after stepping in, he felt a burst of cold air coming, and the steps of the tight cloak gradually slowed down, the prison was so quiet that he could clearly hear his heartbeat, he lowered his hands and pursed his lips to control his fear. When he walked to the execution rack where he was bound, Lu Jue instinctively stopped, staring at it with fear in his eyes, and even his breathing began to appear short.
Lei Gang saw that Lu Jue didn't stop, and saw fear on his face, so he hurriedly walked to his side and whispered comfortingly: "My lord, don't look at it, don't think about it anymore after the matter has passed." ”
Lu Jue glanced at him, took a deep breath, suppressed his fear, withdrew his gaze, nodded, and said, "Let's go!" ”
The three people in the cell drank half a pot of wine, but none of them spoke first. In the end, it was Wan Yan Lie who broke the deadlock first, and after he took a few drinks from the wine glasses first, he sneered and disdainful: "The two of you have seen enough, I have nothing to say in the end, you don't have to come here pretendically, the winner is the king and the loser, there is nothing that you can't afford." ”
Zhou Wenfeng's expression couldn't help but become solemn, and his tone was heavier: "Since you think of my brother's intentions like this, yes, yes, I have complaints with my third brother about all kinds of things." But it was not a matter of indiscretion to worship you and me back then, you lived and died on the battlefield, and the brotherhood that had been born and died several times, how could you take it as a fake! ”
Wan Yan Lie sneered, snorted lightly and sarcastically: "It's not superfluous to talk about this at this time." ”
Zhu Zhen said urgently: "The eldest brother also said that it's all at this time, if it weren't for the deep brotherhood, it would be too late for us to get rid of suspicion at this moment, so why bother to do this here!" ”
Zhou Wenfeng said: "Big brother has little time, don't you really want to talk to us about brotherhood." ”
After saying this, Yan Lie was silent, holding the wine glass tightly, thinking of the past in his mind, and he didn't know how to say for a while. After a while, he raised his head and laughed, the smile was full of helplessness and reluctance, and he smiled: "Brother reunion, I have been looking forward to it for many years, and I can see this death!" Dry. He raised his glass to them
Zhou Zhu and the others also raised their glasses and said, "Dry." The three of them drank it and laughed out loud.
