The next night, several tall guards followed Li Mao to the prison. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info As soon as they opened the cell door, they saw that Lu Shaoyang was still sitting where he was yesterday, but his body did not move half a step. The clay bowl containing the porridge water in front of him was also still in place, and the porridge water in it was already a little rancid, obviously Lu Shaoyang had not entered the water this day.

The fat lieutenant raised the horizontal flesh on his face and looked at Lu Shaoyang with an expressionless face, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

"Are you going to say it or not?" Li Mao asked.

Lu Shaoyang shook his head, but he didn't say a word.

Seeing that he still refused to speak, Li Mao couldn't help scolding: "Damn, you kid has a kind, I knew that you were such a stuffy gourd, I should have chopped you up like those two girls in Lihuadu." ”

Lu Shaoyang heard him mention Lihuadu, and the whole person was ignited in an instant, and he shouted at Li Mao: "Murderer!" You're a murderer! ”

As soon as Li Mao heard this, he was about to draw his sword, but the guard on the side hurriedly stopped him and said: "Captain, the general has an order, you can't hurt this kid for the time being, I think we should be a little restless, go out first to dissipate your anger, this long night is a long time, and this kid is the master who has not entered the dripping water, and his subordinates think he can't last too long." We starved him until he couldn't hold it anymore, and then slowly asked, are you still afraid that he will keep his mouth hard? ”

Li Mao thought for a moment, slowly returned the sword to the scabbard, and said, "What you said has some truth, but I have a better idea." ”

He looked at the crowd with a wicked smile, and several nodded tacitly, and they all walked straight out of the cell, but no one left. Li Mao asked someone to find a mat and sit on the ground, got some wine and food from outside, and ate and drank by himself while looking at Lu Shaoyang.

He was trying to stimulate Lu Shaoyang and make him compromise as soon as possible. After all, Lu Shaoyang hadn't eaten or drunk for a whole day, and no one would be able to bear the aroma of this wine and food.

But Lu Shaoyang never spoke. More than an hour passed, and he was still staring at the blackened wall in front of him.

Li Mao feasted there, but he was very unhappy in his heart. The heart said, why does this kid still refuse to give in? Mo is not beaten by iron, and he doesn't need to eat and drink Lazar?

At the same time, a person suddenly came in from outside, holding a wine jug in his hand, walked up to Li Mao unhurriedly, and said, "Captain Li, how can you be in such a good mood to drink here alone?" ”

Li Mao raised his eyes and looked, but he was a little confused, isn't this Xue Yi? How did he get here?

"What are you doing here late at night, General Xue?" Li Mao asked.

Xue Yi smiled: "It's okay, I just want to come to Captain Li and I have some misunderstandings, in order to avoid gaps in the future, I came over to accompany Captain Li." ”

"Oh?" Li Mao's eyes rolled and said: "General Xue's words are a little embarrassing to his subordinates, I think you are a partial general, how can I, a little captain, afford you to apologize to me?" ”

"But you want it!" Xue Yi said.

"If that's the case, then the subordinates have to obey." Li Mao said this, but there was a burst of pride in his heart. Thinking that Xue Yi finally couldn't pretend to be able to do so. Thinking about it, his Lao Tzu had just died tragically in the prison, and this family was helpless, but the king had some regrets, which gave him such a partial general. Although my official position is lower than him now, my uncle Zhao Shen Zhao Situ is a popular person around the current king, and even the general has to do some benefits for me in my uncle's face, but this thief's son is against me, and he wants to kill me for a few Shu people, it's really not a thing! But it seems that yesterday's scolding by the general woke him up, so he wanted to make a friendship with me and get some benefits. Maybe there will be a place to use him in the future, so let's give him a step down!

Xue Yi knew what kind of calculation he had in his heart when he saw that Li Mao's face was happy, so he hit the railroad while it was hot: "Captain Li has to interrogate the suspect late at night, but it is very hard, how about I bring a pot of sycamore incense to taste with the captain?" ”

Xue Yi said and put the wine jug in front of Li Mao, and he also sat down.

Li Mao is a military ruffian, and his wine and wealth are contaminated, so he naturally knows the benefits of this sycamore incense. It is a sake made from the sycamore petals at the edge of the Hunan River, and because of the water and soil, only the flowers that bloom on the sycamore trees growing in Linxian County in the territory of Chu can make this wine, so this wine is extremely precious, most of it is used as a tribute to the king, and it is rarely tasted among the people.

When Li Mao heard the name of this sycamore incense, he swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and said, "General Xue used to have such good things, but he didn't know where to get them?" ”

Xue Yi saw Li Mao's greedy appearance, and knew that he had taken the bait, so he replied unhurriedly: "In the past, my father was the prince who washed horses, and was rewarded by the prince's love, and later my father's property was confiscated when he was imprisoned, but he left a few pots of this sycamore incense. ”

Li Mao's face twitched slightly, and said, "The crown prince has been abolished, and now he should be called Wu Anjun." If General Xue doesn't change his words, I'm afraid he will follow the old path of Xue Xima. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the pot of sycamore incense and said, "But this wine is a good thing, if your subordinates don't be afraid of losing the general's face." ”

Xue Yi said with a smile: "Thank you Captain Li for reminding me just now, this wine is naturally what Captain Li deserves." ”

"If that's the case, then the subordinates are welcome." Li Mao couldn't wait to pour a bowl, and when he smelled the aroma, it was really a good wine, thinking that the turbid wine sold in the market was as tasteless as fresh water, or this kind of wine could be called the best in the world.

This bowl of Li Mao drank it all, but it was very useful in his stomach. He couldn't help but pour another bowl, but Xue Yi on the side stopped him and said, "As the saying goes: It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, Captain Li is greedy for drinking here, but isn't it bitter Brother standing behind you?" ”

Li Mao looked back, and sure enough, several guards behind him were salivating and numb from being tortured, and Li Mao suddenly laughed and said: "Sure enough, it is a good wine, and this wine really has to be drunk with everyone." ”

As he spoke, he asked someone to take a few more wine bowls and distribute them to everyone, and then rewarded the sycamore incense one by one, and several guards thanked them one after another, and the wine in their hands also drank it all.

After a while, Li Mao and the others were a little upset, and a few people staggered back and forth, put all the dishes and chopsticks in the banquet aside, and lay down on them and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Xue Yi patted everyone with his hand a few times, but they slept like dead pigs one by one, and then he was relieved. He took the key from Li Mao's waist, opened Lu Shaoyang's prison door, and walked straight in.

Lu Shaoyang saw all the scenes just now, he was a little confused at the moment, what is this person going to do? Could it be that he is going to let himself go? But he is from Chu! Will these murderous demon kings easily let themselves go?

Lu Shaoyang was pondering, but Xue Yi in front of him spoke first: "Little brother, have you suffered these two days?" I see that you haven't dripped, but you have some backbone, but it is not good for you to resist like this, in my opinion, let go of some dignity and follow the general's will first, after all, leaving your life is the most important thing. ”

"You're here to be a lobbyist?" Lu Shaoyang asked, "What kind of general asked you to come?" ”

Xue Yi smiled and said, "Naturally not, if he asked me to come, I wouldn't have to drug that fat man." ”

"Why, they're dead?" Lu Shaoyang glanced at a few people outside the prison door, but saw that they were breathing steadily, but they were just asleep.

"Do you wish he was dead?" Xue Yi asked.

"Yes, it's a pity that I can't kill him now, and when I go out one day, I will definitely seek revenge on you Chu people!"

"Oh? You want to seek revenge on us? But for what? Is it because the fat man killed the two people you said last night? Xue Yi asked.

"Exactly!" Lu Shaoyang said: "Not only you brutes, but also the enemies who killed my father, these are the people I killed!" ”

"Your father was killed too?" Xue Yi asked.

Lu Shaoyang suddenly felt that he was being tricked, and hurriedly said, "What does this have to do with you?" ”

Xue Yi shook his head and said, "It really has nothing to do with me, it's just that my father was also killed by a traitor, and you and I have the same disease, but it makes me feel something in my heart." I think that when I saw you last night, I felt that there was some connection between you and me, and tonight I tossed and turned, but I couldn't sleep, so I simply came up with such an idea to come and ask you something. Now it seems that I guessed a little correctly. ”

Xue Yi paused, and then said: "It's better like this, my name is Xue Yi, let's make friends, I think you will be able to use me in the future." ”

Lu Shaoyang looked at Xue Yi but saw his sincere face, and his heart couldn't help but throb a little, but after thinking about it, the mother-in-law and Aunt Huan were both victimized by the Chu people, and the Chu people were treacherous and afraid that they wanted to deceive him into trust, so he couldn't drill into the trap, so he said: "I don't want to make friends with the executioner, I think you should be spared!" ”

Xue Yi was a little embarrassed at this time, and he said after a while: "Okay, it seems that you still have a problem with me, but this is also normal." Today I think even if we know each other, there are some things that we can save for later. ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the cell and locked the door, then hung the key back on Li Mao's waist, and then said: "I have two things to remind you: first, if you really want to take revenge, the most important thing is to eat something, after all, if a person dies, there is no revenge." Second, if you are really a fugitive from the Xia Kingdom, it is best to make up an identity to deal with General Fan, otherwise you will not regret it when you are tied back to the Xia Kingdom. Another point, the king of Shu has united the southern barbarian army to fight a decisive battle with the Chu army, we will set off in two days, before that the general will deal with all the miscellaneous things in advance, and then give the Ming monarch, so your identity had better be made up quickly. ”

After Xue Yi finished speaking, he left without looking back. After a while, Li Mao climbed up with a spirit. Hurriedly looked around, but saw that Lu Shaoyang was still sitting in prison, but Xue Yi was gone, so he was relieved. He was about to go out to pee, but he heard Lu Shaoyang in prison suddenly shouting: "Hurry up and let me out!" I want to see your general! ”
