Beigong was in a state of chaos, and in a trance heard someone sobbing beside the bed, he slowly opened his eyes, only to see Meggie's face full of tears, and her eyes were red and swollen, and she said distressedly: "Ji'er, don't cry, I'm fine." Meggie sobbed and said, "For example, brother, it's all my fault, I shouldn't run to tell Brother Wang." Beigong Ru wanted to stand up, but the pain from his buttocks to his shins was unbearable, and he couldn't support it, so he had to lie down, and said with a weak smile: "Ji'er, if my brother is pretending to lie to them, don't take it seriously." Then, he called Zhao Jingzhi and Yu Mo to come in, and said to Yu Mo: "Send the princess back to the palace, and then go to Mei'er's house to send some settlement money, and bury her well." ”

Yu Mo was very worried when he saw that Beigong Ru had been punished so heavily, but seeing that he had a clear mind at this time, he seemed to have eased up, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The prince can rest assured." Princess, please. Seeing that Beigong Ru was going to send him away, Mei Ji was so anxious that she cried, and whimpered and took Beigong Ru's hand and said, "Brother Ru, are you angry with me?" Beigong Ru shook his head and said with pity in his eyes: "Of course not, if my brother wants to leave for a while, he can't take care of you." Wait for my brother to finish his errands and come to see you. Meggie bit her lip with a look of grievance, but she still nodded obediently and followed Yu Mo out.

Beigong Ru waited for them to leave, and then said to Zhao Jingzhi, who was sullen on the side: "Brother, I hurt a lot, can you help me see if I have hurt my muscles and bones?" Zhao Jingzhi hurriedly stepped forward and retreated from Beigong Ru's middle coat, only to see a large bruised cane mark on the hip and shin, and the skin was open and fleshy, which was shocking, but fortunately it was only a flesh wound. Zhao Jingzhi said hatefully: "Although it is a bitter plan, this Chu Ziyi can't put such a heavy hand." Beigong Ru sighed: "If you are not injured, it is difficult to win the trust of others." Besides, I let his sister see that scene, if he were someone else, he would even have the heart to kill. I was afraid that he wouldn't really get angry and ruthless, so I made this decision. Don't blame him. Zhao Jingzhi nodded, took out the medicine to stop bleeding, and said with concern: "I'll help you rub some medicine, it'll be faster, you can bear with it." Beigong Ru smiled and said: "As long as I can return to China, I will admit it after another hundred strokes." ”

It all started that morning. Zhao Jingzhi followed Beigong Ru's instructions, and suddenly came to Beigong Ru this morning with Meggie, who knew nothing, and saw that the door was just hidden, so the two pushed the door in. Meggie was immediately frightened by the scene in front of her, and saw Beigong pressing on Mei'er's body half-naked, Meggie was ashamed and afraid, covering her face and running out. Zhao Jingzhi caught up with her and asked her if she wanted to go to her brother Wang, and Mei Ji nodded with tears in her eyes. Chu Ziyi knew the ins and outs of the matter, and was furious, shouting, 'Catch the slut and adulterer and enter the palace immediately'. Everyone in the palace knew that Chu Ziyi loved this sister the most, and they bit their tongues one by one, knowing that the concubine was more auspicious this time, and couldn't help but feel sorry for this handsome son.

Beigong Ru and Mei'er were brought to Chu Ziyi, and someone had already told him Mei'er's origin and identity. Chu Ziyi's face turned blue with anger, everyone had never seen this young winged king so angry. Chu Ziyi shouted: "Lone is very kind to you, and I married my only sister to you, I don't want you to dare to hide the guilt in private, do something unscrupulous, and disgrace the princess." With that, he walked down and killed Mei'er who was kneeling beside her and trembling with a sword. Beigong Ru broke free from the guards who held him down, ran over and hugged Mei'er's corpse and shouted, "Mei'er, Mei'er!" He glared at Chu Ziyi angrily, his eyes bloodshot.

Chu Ziyi picked up his sword again and walked towards Beigong Ru, and everyone was busy trying to stop him. At this time, Mei Ji suddenly ran in from outside the hall, was frightened by Chu Ziyi's situation and cried, hugged his robe, knelt down close to his knees and begged: "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, Ji'er and Brother Ru are having fun, it's not true." You don't kill like a brother, don't... Chu Ziyi looked down at her sister, who was already choking with tears, slowly softened, threw down the sword in her hand, and shouted, "Take the princess down!" Pass the staff! ”

Jill was forcibly hugged by Zhao Jingzhi. The guards didn't dare to slack off, pressed Beigong Ru on the torture bench, raised the court staff and beat it more than a dozen times. Chu Ziyi was afraid that the beating was too light, kicked away the person who was being punished, snatched the court staff, and hit him fifty or sixty times, and the board was urgent and fast. Beigong Ru only felt a sharp pain from the burning fire, which made him breathless. While he was tortured, he hated and scolded: "I worked for you, born and died, and you did this to me? When Chu Ziyi heard this, she added fuel to the fire, and her actions became more and more ruthless. Seeing that Beigong Ru's scolding gradually weakened, the palace people knew that they had beaten it, so they hurriedly stepped forward to hug the board. Chu Ziyi was already sweating like rain, sat straight on the chair, and said breathlessly: "If I really kill you, it will only make Ji'er sad, and there will be a next time, I will not be spared." After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left. Everyone carried Beigong Ru, who had fainted, back to the house.

Zhao Jingzhi helped Beigong Ru apply the medicine, and asked in a choked voice: "This punishment is also accepted, what are you going to do next?" Beigong Ru said: "Jing Zhi, you go and help me get some wine." Zhao Jingzhi knew that he was in great pain, so he said 'um' and brought him wine. Beigong Ru drank a bowl before saying: "I estimate that today's good show will spread throughout the court in less than three days." You go and prepare a gift for me, and be sure to send it to Uncle Yunyun in Qincheng in person. Tell him that I will come to visit when I can go down to the earth in a few days. Zhao Jingzhi carefully wrote down Beigong Ru's instructions, got up and went out.

Beigong Ru drank wine alone for a while, and gradually became confused. In the dream, he saw his mother holding his hand and asking: Ru'er, are you okay? He really wanted to say: Mother, Ru'er really hurts. But he still smiled and nodded. When he woke up in the middle of the night, there was no one around, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

However, it was said that Zhao Jingzhi took Beigong Ru to confess the gifts he had prepared, and hurried to Qincheng to see Shugongyun within five days. Shugongyun received him with his two sons, Gongsun Long and Gongsun Jing, and his attitude has always been lukewarm. Zhao Jingzhi saw that Uncle Gongyun was tall and clear, and his temperament was serene; The two sons were born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and their eyes were bright. Zhao Jingzhi presented a gift from Beigong Ru, and Shugongyun opened it to take a look, but it was a shallow basin with a layer of sand and soil in it, and a willow branch in the middle.

Gongsun Long asked puzzledly, "What is this?" Zhao Jingzhi said according to Beigong Ru's instructions: "The prince has lost his beloved this time, and he has suffered this great humiliation, and he has hated the small crime of the Wing King and has been punished, and his great merit is not rewarded." Hearing that Uncle Wang treats things sincerely, he is humble and willing to serve under Uncle Wang, in order to make meritorious contributions and shame, and there is no doubt about it. Uncle Yun asked suspiciously: "How do you know the sincerity of the son?" Zhao Jingzhi said calmly: "Uncle Wang doesn't know, King Yi originally promised that if the prince helped him find out the crime of Shu Gongning's rebellion, he would send us back to China. But he refused to let us go because he was reluctant to let the princess leave the Wing Country. If the prince can help Uncle Wang, I hope that Uncle Wang can send me back to Liuguo in the future to relieve our homesickness. Shugongyun nodded and said, "The old man understands what the prince means." Waiting for the prince. Zhao Jingzhi was overjoyed, said goodbye and left.

Beigong Ru has been able to move around in the past two days, because he is young and strong, and he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Yu Mo was sitting by the pond with him feeding the fish, and couldn't help asking: "Shizi, why don't we take advantage of the Yancheng that has just taken over Shugongning, and subdue Duomu again, and destroy Shugongyun in one go?" But to use bitter tricks to win his trust first, isn't this a sacrifice for the near and far? Beigong Ru smiled and said: "Some people have to kill him quickly to catch him off guard." And if some people want to kill him, you have to be slow, otherwise he knows that he is cornered, and he will fight desperately. Uncle Yunyun is a treacherous man, and the two sons can fight well, if they fight back with all their might, they may lose both of them if they are really equal to us. Moreover, now that Shugongyun didn't really tear his face with the Wing King after all, there is no reason for the teacher to come out. ”

Yu Mo nodded in admiration, and asked again: "Then don't you worry about the long time, when Uncle Gongyun is ready, it will be more difficult to deal with?" Beigong Ru threw another handful of fish food into the pool and said, "You're right, we have to cast the bait as soon as possible, lure the snake out of the hole, and lure Shugongyun to raise troops in a hurry." Once his rebellion is a fact, we have to stall and slow down. Because we are a righteous army, as long as we strictly defend it, after a long time, the soldiers who follow Shugongyun will definitely shake the hearts of the army, and when the time comes, we will send troops to attack, and it will be foolproof. Yu Mo couldn't help but praise: "The son of the world is really resourceful and convincing. ”

But he said that on Yancheng's side, after Shugongyun sent Zhao Jingzhi away, he asked his two sons: "Long'er, Jing'er, do you know the meaning of Beigong Ru's gift?" The eldest son, Gongsun Long, the word Bozhuang, frowned, still thinking hard. The second son, Gongsun Jing, whose word is Shao'an, immediately replied: "This is a layer of 'soil' below, and a willow branch is placed horizontally on it, which is clearly the word 'king'." He wanted to tell his father that he, a native of Liuguo, was willing to help you ascend to the throne. Uncle Gongyun looked at his little son appreciatively, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Jing'er still understands the father's mind best." Gongsun Long listened to it, and he felt very uncomfortable, but his face couldn't show it, so he could only smile and say: "Shao'an has been smart since he was a child, and I, as a brother, am really ashamed of myself." ”

Uncle Gongyun patted Gongsun Long's shoulder and said, "As long as our father and son are of the same heart, and you brothers are of the same mind, you will definitely be able to take the country from Chu Ziyi's yellow-mouthed child." Gongsun Jing said again: "The child thinks that this Beigong is scheming, and seeing that he can quickly cut through the mess and get rid of Shugong Ning, he knows that he is a powerful character." Isn't my father worried that they are a bitter ploy, deceiving us? Shugongyun nodded and said, "I also have this doubt. But I think his real purpose is just to go back to Liuguo. After all, for a foreigner, it doesn't make much difference who is the winged king. As long as we keep our promise to send him home, he should do his best. Besides, Chu Ziyi killed Beigong Ru's woman for his sister this time, and beat him in public, this kind of humiliation is unbearable for ordinary people. Gongsun Long echoed: "That is, after all, Beigong Ru is a man in his youth, guarding a doll lady, and occasionally having a romantic time, it is also human nature." Chu Ziyi is really unkind. Gongsun Jing still said worriedly: "It's better for us to be careful." ”
