Seeing that the young man had eaten, the old man also scooped a bowl for himself, and then knocked on the wooden barrel and said softly, "Come on." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Then there was a queue of people who stepped forward, also took a bowl from the table, put both hands in front of the old man, and said respectfully: "Thank you, husband." ”

The old man nodded reservedly, scooped a bowl from the bucket, served it to the man, and waited for the man to say, "Thank you, husband." Then he looked to the next one.

Each of them had a bowl of it, and then they scattered around and crouched or stood in the house, eating it in small bites...... Although I am hungry, I have too little to eat, and I will be even hungrier if I don't do it.

As for the opportunity to add porridge, it is usually hard to come by. When it comes to the last in line, they often don't even get a bowl.

The barrel was empty, and it was not the turn of the first bowl to hold an empty bowl. So the old man took the broken bowl and scraped the porridge in the wall of the bucket, asked a boy to scoop a scoop of water from the water urn and pour it in, stirred it with his hands, put it into the bowl and whispered, "Oh, go eat." ”

The prisoner sighed, took the gruel like a pot of water, and retreated.

Soothing his sore arm, the old man slowly sat down and began to enjoy his equally thin bowl. A lifetime of intrigue made him understand very well that although he was originally in a high position and had a lot of judgments with a house full of hills, in this foreign cell, everything that was originally said was useful and useful, and it was useless to say that it was useless. If you want to stabilize your position, in addition to borrowing the identity of the young man, you must also use this means to strengthen your authority.

Otherwise, with this old and crippled body, I don't know how to be bullied.

The night was dark and dreary, without a trace of wind or stars, which made people breathless.

Only two streets away from the cells where the prisoners lived, there was a large courtyard four deep, there were no people in the courtyard, only the innermost courtyard was lit with a few dead wind lanterns, barely illuminating the flowers and plants by the cloister, and a path paved with bluestone slabs.

The sound of footsteps came from behind the rockery, and a young man in Tsing Yi carried a yellow lantern with the word 'Liu' written on it, leading the way for a man in a silk shirt behind him. The light was dim, and the person's face could not be seen clearly, but looking at the figure, it seemed to be Wu Zhao who was taken away by Liu Shoubei in the afternoon.

The little guy led him down the path into the corridor, and walked along the corridor until he walked outside the lighted wing, then stopped and knocked on the door: "Master, Mr. Wu has brought it." "It seems that that person is indeed Wu Zhao.

"Hurry up, please." A rough voice came from inside, and then the door opened, revealing Liu Shoubei's big purple face: "Mr. Wu, come in." ”

Through the bright lights in the room, Wu Zhao saw that Liu Shoubei had taken off the mud-stained general costume and changed into a large placket robe popular in Qi State, with a sleeveless short coat. The material is silk, and there is a longevity pattern on it, which looks expensive.

Looking at the top of Liu Shoubei's head, there is still a blue satin square scarf worn by a scholar, and with his old face with ravines and ravines, it really looks nondescript. His snort twitched slightly, and Wu Zhao also smelled a strange smell, as if he hadn't taken a bath for many years, but he had incense on his body, which made him feel the words 'Mu Monkey and Crown' in his heart, and his disdain was great.

He looked at Liu Shoubei, Liu Shoubei was also looking at him, and saw that Wu Zhao had already taken a bath and changed into a clean cloth robe, and he was suddenly like the depressed appearance in the afternoon. I saw that although there were still some faint bruises on his face and neck, his neck was even fairer, and his face was like warm jade.

Look at the pair of flirtatious Danfeng eyes, two seductive willow eyebrows, and three chic amorous beards, it is really red lips and white teeth, and the characters are merry, it is really wonderful!

Liu Shoubei couldn't help but move his index finger, and his heart shook and said: "Although he is a little older, he still has fine skin and tender meat, smooth and lovely, and he is definitely the best in the world." Suddenly, the feeling of hating each other swelled up, and he invited Wu Zhao for the third time: "Mr. Wu invited ......" It can be seen how impatient he is.

Nodding at Liu Shoubei, it was considered a salute, Wu Zhao gently lifted his front placket and stepped into the house, but looking at this cloud and wind Shu's demeanor, it was not comparable to Liu Shoubei's old coarseness, but it also made him love it even more.

There were eight butter headlamps in the room, which reflected the huge room as bright as day, and also allowed Wu Zhao to see every furnishing in the house clearly. But I saw that there were some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the four walls that were of unknown origin and were basically at the same level as Qin Xiaowu. But it was framed like a treasure by Liu Shoubei and hung all over the wall.

Below the calligraphy and painting is a long case along the wall, which is full of high and low porcelain bottles, copper pots, silver kettles, and gold cups, which are incredibly uneven. In Wu Zhao's opinion, the most valuable thing is the third copper kettle from the left, which was probably used by the Tang Dynasty court...... Chamber pot.

Seeing that Liu Shoubei also put the commode on the table, Wu Zhao couldn't help but lose his appetite, and quickly turned his eyes to the ground, but saw that there was a colorful carpet on the ground, which was simply unbearable. When I raised my eyes again, I saw that there was still a pink woman's dress on the bed, which seemed to have been thrown here by the lady of the family.

'What kind of state is this?' Wu Zhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Just by the decorations, people can have the urge to commit suicide, and I don't know how this guy cultivates?" ’

Seeing him looking around, Liu Shoubei only said that he was dizzying at the furnishings in the house, and couldn't help but say proudly: "How does Mr. Wu look at my taste?" ”

Hearing only the sound of 'oh', that Wu Zhao actually retched depressedly...... Fortunately, from noon to now, the grain of rice has not been eaten, and I can't spit out anything.

Seeing Wu Zhao's snot and tears welling up together, Liu Shoubei was not angry but happy, took Wu Zhao's hand, dragged him to the table and sat down, and laughed loudly: "Don't be excited, if you like it, this room will be yours to live in the future." But he sighed secretly in his heart: 'It's so soft...... couldn't help but itch, and scratched his palm.

Wu Zhao wanted to withdraw his hand, but the man's hand was like a plice, and he couldn't get rid of it at all, and he was afraid that he would annoy this reckless man with force, as long as he endured the nausea and let him hold it.

Fortunately, Liu Shoubei shook it for a while, then returned to the main seat and sat down, looked at him with a smile through the light, and said with a smile: "Serve the food, Lao Tzu wants to wash the dust for Mr. Wu." ”

The servants, who had been waiting in the chamber for a long time, brought up the food and wine. I only saw what steaming, frying, frying, boiling, stewing, pig's trotters and lamb legs, roast chicken and roast duck, all of them were greasy and fishy, and the fat was unbearable.

After a while, seven large plates and eight large bowls were set on the table, Liu Shoubei lifted a jar of wine, patted off the mud seal, and a rich aroma of wine gushed out. sniffed greedily and said: "The authentic Yellow River Daqu, the old number of the Xu family in Jinan City is exclusively for the inner court, and you have to buy such a small altar for five taels of silver," so he showed off: "You have to have a way to buy it, and if you change it to someone else, even if you have silver, it will be useless." ”

Wu Zhao is extremely bad at drinking, and when he smelled the wine, he frowned, and said with a dry laugh: "Since this is the case, you can drink it yourself." ”

Liu Shoubei suddenly shook his head and said, "That's what you said, don't you look down on people?" How can we Qilu men use good things for themselves? As he spoke, he filled himself with a bowl first, and then poured wine into the porcelain bowl in front of Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao thought that the porcelain bowl in front of him was used to hold rice, but who knew that it was a wine utensil, so he couldn't help but sweat profusely and stammered: "Just... Even if you want to drink it...... You should use a cup, too. ”

Liu Shoubei liked to see him squirming and pinching, and suddenly smiled: "What we Qilu heroes are talking about is drinking wine and eating meat in large pieces, and we are happy!" Saying that, he held down Wu Zhao's hand and continued to pour wine: "Didn't you scholars talk about 'entering the village and following customs'? ”

"It's a ...... to follow the customs," Wu Zhao couldn't help but correct.

"Pedantic, huh?" Liu Shoubei smiled and said: "This is Wushan Village, of course, we are like the village." ”

Without a trace, he withdrew his hand and wiped the foam on his face, Wu Zhao decided not to meet this vulgar person anymore, and sighed in his heart: "That's it, just follow him, who makes the situation stronger than people." 'The ability to bend and stretch has always been his trait.

Seeing that Wu Zhao no longer spoke, Liu Shoubei thought that he was convinced, and happily raised the bowl and said: "There is a way that 'there is a fate to meet thousands of miles away', and today we can drink at the same table, which is the great fate of you and me." Fate is as big as the sky, if you don't get drunk and don't go home, I'm sorry for such a bright light! ”

Turning a deaf ear to his messy rhetoric, Wu Zhao just nodded faintly, as if he was quite in agreement.

After waiting for a long time holding the bowl, and Wu Zhao didn't move, Liu Shoubei said roughly: "Don't just nod and don't lift the bowl!" ”

These words fell in Wu Zhao's ears, which meant 'don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink', so he had to raise the bowl, touch it with Liu Shoubei, and put it down after touching his lips slightly.

Liu Shoubei raised his neck and drank all the liquor in the bowl, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, sighed 'comfortable', and turned the big bowl down to show that there was not a drop left.

But seeing that the bowl in front of Wu Zhao was still full, it seemed that there was not a drop less, and the old face was pulled down, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wu looks down on me, how can I be this Qiu Ba?" ”

Seeing his temperament, Wu Zhao couldn't help but get angry, and his long narrow eyes narrowed slightly, "I'm not good at drinking, why do you force each other?" Although the cold glint in his eyes was fleeting, it made Liu Shoubei suddenly have the idea of kneeling on the ground.

With a 'whew', a gust of cold wind blew open a window and woke Liu Shoubei from his sluggish state. Looking at Wu Zhao, who still had a contemptuous face, as if he saw the disdainful appearance of the guerrilla general in the Daimyo's mansion, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and scolded: "Give a shameless thing!" Don't forget who you are! ”

The muscles on Liu Shoubei's face twitched one by one, and his thick fingers twitched the tip of Wu Zhao's nose, and he gritted his teeth word by word: "You... Be... Piece... Prisoner... Violate! ”

The five words were like a magic sound in his mind, shattering the nobility that Wu Zhao had been trying so hard to maintain. I saw that his eyes were tightly closed, his hands were shaking uncontrollably holding the tablecloth, and his pale face was full of remorse, frustration, shame and despair......

Countless negative emotions hit his heart, as if a thousand catties of boulders pressed on Wu Zhao's chest, making him difficult to breathe, his thoughts seemed to be stirred into a mess, and the past that he had never wanted to recall could no longer be stopped from pouring into his mind......

He saw himself dressed in linen shoes, bathing in incense, and respectfully praying to the ancestors of the Qin family, praying for a triumphant return; He saw that he was strong and stubborn, standing in front of hundreds of thousands of troops, and after making a generous speech, he announced the great army to the east; He saw that he led a large army, defeated the Qi army on Luoshui Plain, beheaded 100,000, and scolded Fang Xuan for a while, and underestimated the heroes of the world......

How high-spirited I was at that time; What arrogance!

But since he left the customs, he entered the ground of Qi and the Great Qin Divine Spirit that had been protecting him, and finally it was no longer effective. He first didn't listen to Xiao Wu's advice, blindly rushed forward, and was finally ambushed by Zhao Wuji on the Muye Plain, and then took the lead in retreating in a panic, resulting in the defeat of hundreds of thousands of elites, and they were chased and killed by the Qi army for dozens of miles like a lost dog......

He seemed to see that he was driven down by Qin Lei, riding a cart and wrapped in a quilt in the bleak wind and cold rain and driving towards the endless darkness.

This is gone, and the name of the first life is lost; This is gone, and the glory of life is in vain; This time, he became a prisoner of the stairs......

On the same day, Xin Jiazang and the Qi army appeared on the river, and Chen Liefeng also took 50,000 elites to the river and ran into the Qin army in a hurry.

One side is frightened and tired, and the morale of the army is high, even with the toes, you can know the result of this battle...... According to historical records, 8,000 Imperial Forest Army, 10,000 miscellaneous troops, and 20,000 civilians were killed in this battle, and the remaining more than 60,000 people were all captured...... Among them are His Majesty Emperor Shizulie, His Royal Highness Qin Zhan, King of Yingjun, Marshal of the Forbidden Army Ma Guangzu, and the eunuch Zhuo Yan, the chief eunuch of Ouchi.

Yes, since the founding of the profession of emperor by Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor who was well in the country but himself was defeated and captured appeared.

But the Qi State did not find out that this was a casual net, and actually caught a super big fish, which has three reasons: one is that Emperor Zhaowu lost the honor guard under the Luan Yu in Muye Plain, and took off the dragon robe before crossing the river and changed into ordinary clothes, which was not conspicuous, and even among the captives of the Qin State, few knew that His Majesty was with them. And the people of Qi didn't expect that they would capture the monarch of the enemy country so easily, so they didn't check too much.

The second and most important one, in order to cover the whereabouts of Emperor Zhaowu, Ma Guangzu took the initiative to stand up and show his identity as the marshal of the forbidden army and the general of the Imperial Forest, providing a reasonable explanation for the appearance of the Imperial Forest Army. This marshal of the forbidden army, who had mediocre qualifications and was ridiculed, proved his loyalty at a critical moment, and also dispelled the last trace of doubts among the people of Qi.

At this time, just in time for the imminent autumn harvest of Qi State, there was a serious shortage of manpower in the military camps in various places. And that Chen Liefeng was already a rough man, and he was satisfied that he could capture the marshal of the forbidden army of Qi State, and he no longer carefully examined the rest of the captives, so he lent his brains to the state capitals in the defense area to help harvest military rations.

That's why we saw Brother Wu Zhao in Wushan Village, Xiajin County, the Daimyo Prefecture......

These thoughts are mixed, but only Emperor Zhaowu is used...... It's still called Wu Zhao...... With a flash of thought in his heart, Liu Shoubei was still holding the bowl. Seeing that Wu Zhao's face was ashen and his expression was depressed, as if all the strength of his body had been drained, Liu Shoubei only said that he was frightened, and his arrogance became even more arrogant: "Drink!" ”

This call brought Wu Zhao back from his soul, looked at Liu Shoubei with blank eyes, and smiled miserably: "Drink it!" Then he took the bowl and poured it into his stomach. The spicy liquor irritated his throat like a knife, but Wu Zhao no longer resisted the feeling. He needed this tingling, this dizziness, this intoxication to paralyze the shattering pain in his heart!

The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south. Three turns around the tree, what branches can be followed?

The worries are unforgettable, and the past days are hard. How to solve the problem? Only Du Kang......

Singing loudly, Wu Zhao was drunk, and he didn't see the old face opposite, which was full of smiles that had succeeded in his plan.
