The palace of the king of Shu is gorgeous and magnificent, among which there are countless pavilions and pavilions. There are two small buildings on both sides of the Luan Xiang Palace www.biquge.info the name of the temple: Longyin Xuan, Fengming Pavilion. These two small buildings were originally the resting place of the king of Shu, and tonight Fan Zhong took a few cronies to hold a feast on this Fengming Pavilion to Lu Shaoyang to catch the wind and suppress the shock.

I think that Fan Zhong was a little suspicious of Lu Shaoyang, but on the surface, he still regarded him as Sima Wuji's grandson, and he could not be neglected in this matter, so although there was no dancing girl at this banquet, he also found a ceremonial music group to play and sing to show his attention to Lu Shaoyang.

Lu Shaoyang naturally knew that Fan Zhong was suspicious of himself now, although he was still young, he was very intelligent. The many changes that have happened in the past few days have also made Lu Shaoyang understand the importance of forbearance.

The man named Xue Yi was right, if he died now, then there would be no revenge, and everything could only be saved to save his life, so he had to pretend that he was Sima Tu, and then find a chance to leave the Chu camp was the best policy. But where is the opportunity? Lu Shaoyang pondered hard.

While the musician was here, he stopped playing at the signal of the bystanders. The general Fan Zhong raised his glass and said: "Sima Gongzi, the old man's subordinates don't know your details, and they have offended a lot in the past few days. ”

After Fan Zhong finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the wine glass, and the generals below also drank the wine in the glass. Seeing this, Lu Shaoyang couldn't shirk it, so he had to pretend and say: "Since the general said so, the juniors are destined to do it, but the word Haihan is useless." ”

He took a sip of the wine in the glass, and said: "Since the general loves the junior so much, he doesn't hide it, but at this moment, he has something to ask for, and I hope that the general will be fulfilled." ”

Fan Zhong asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Shaoyang said: "I wanted to come to my hometown to recognize my ancestors, but I got sick and delayed my trip. Now that the general said that this time it was a misunderstanding, it is inconvenient for the juniors to pursue anything, but I just hope that your army can be released as soon as possible, so that the juniors can see their grandfather as soon as possible. ”

Fan Zhong didn't reply immediately when he heard this, he slowly picked up a piece of wild boar meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and after a while of chewing and swallowing slowly, he said: "Sima Gongzi is homesick and the old man naturally knows, but now the army is in chaos, and this Shu is a place of four wars. It's not as good as this, in a few days, the Shen army of Chu will fight to the death with the king of Shu, and when the time comes, the old man will personally send his capable men to escort the son back to the Xia Kingdom to reunite with the old Sikou, wouldn't it be better? ”

How could Lu Shaoyang not know whether Fan Zhong cared about his life or not, and was afraid that he would take the opportunity to escape, it seemed that this old fox was still guarding himself.

What Lu Shaoyang thought in his heart couldn't be shown on his face, he saw that Fan Zhong had no intention of letting him go, so he could only endure it for the time being, and pretended: "The general cares about the juniors, and the juniors are really unable to repay them. ”

Fan Zhong raised his glass and smiled: "It's really tormenting the old man!" Sima Gongzi, let's drink all we can tonight, and save the rest for later, how about it? ”

Lu Shaoyang had no choice but to obey Fan Zhong, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Lu Shaoyang really couldn't find a way to escape from the camp of Chu State, his heart was depressed, and the banquet also lost its taste. He simply ate another glass of wine and lied that he was too drunk to quit, but Fan Zhong didn't embarrass Lu Shaoyang, and smiled and let the two guards serve him and leave Fengming Pavilion.

It was the end of summer and the weather was slightly cool. Lu Shaoyang walked out of Fengming Pavilion but did not go back to rest, he walked along the corridor to the back of Luanxiang Palace, there is the royal garden of the King of Shu, the King of Shu would come here every night to drink and have fun with the concubines, now things are not people, the big trees are falling, everyone has done birds and beasts scattered, and this place has become an empty place. Lu Shaoyang was bored in his heart, and when he saw that it was quiet, he found a stone bench and sat down.

The two guards were about to step forward, but Lu Shaoyang sent them down. The two of them said yes, but they didn't go far, just secretly watched Lu Shaoyang's every move outside the garden.

Lu Shaoyang understands that these two people are here to spy on him, but now that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, what can I complain about? Fortunately, the environment here is quiet, and the moon and stars are sparse tonight, so my mood is slightly better.

When Lu Shaoyang was hesitating, he suddenly heard a distant singing: "Thousands of miles of rivers and rivers say goodbye to the sun and the moon, and fight for the king." The road is poor and homesick, and the hometown sings sad songs. Sad song, sad song! Although no one sighs when they die, what can they do? ”

Lu Shaoyang seems to have heard this song somewhere, but he can't remember it for a while. Although he doesn't remember the source, the sad lyrics still touched him deeply. This song reminded him of the veteran he met at the border of the Chu State, the old man who sang "Cai Wei".

His parents died, and it was difficult to return to his homeland, this is Lu Shaoyang's situation now. He slowly closed his eyes, tears quietly sliding down his cheeks. At this point, the singing stopped, and only a sigh was heard.

Lu Shaoyang heard this sigh even more sad than that Chu Ge, and couldn't help asking, "Who is lamenting here?" ”

After the silence, there was a shudder, and a person slowly walked out of the mottled shadows of the trees. Lu Shaoyang fixed his eyes and saw that it was Xue Yi.

"Why are you here?" Lu Shaoyang asked.

"I also want to ask Sima Gongzi this question, tonight the general specially put on a feast for you, but why did you run out alone?"

"I'm bored in my heart, even if I can't eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas." Lu Shaoyang Road.

Xue Yi nodded and said, "Sympathy!" I'm also very bored tonight, so I'm out for a walk. ”

"Are you bothered?" Lu Shaoyang asked: "Your Chu army has attacked and plundered all the way, and the momentum is like a bamboo, I think you will definitely be promoted and make a fortune after your victory, will this promotion and fortune make you trouble?" ”

Xue Yi smiled: "In your eyes, are there only some people left in the Chu Army who only want to be promoted and make a fortune?" ”

"No, there's a bunch of murderers!" Lu Shaoyang replied.

Xue Yi sighed: "I see, people in the world look at us like this, and time is running out to come to this Chu country." ”

"Oh? You, as a Chu general, actually said such a thing. Aren't you afraid of killing your head? ”

"Kill the head?" Xue Yi shook his head and said, "The last thing our Xue family is afraid of is to kill your head. If you die well, this head can be donated at any time! ”

Lu Shaoyang looked at Xue Yi, and saw that his face was full of determination when he said this, as if he could spare his life now. Such a look made Lu Shaoyang suddenly feel that the soldiers of the Chu State were not as despicable as he thought, but after all, this group of people had just slaughtered the whole city, and they had also killed Granny Zhang and Aunt Huan of Lihuadu, couldn't such a group of people be hated? Even if there are a few people like Xue Yi, it's just a rarity, right? What's more, he doesn't know this man named Xue Yi, maybe his perseverance is disguised.

Lu Shaoyang shuddered a little when he thought of the word "camouflage". Aren't you a pretender now? The forced disguise is also understandable, maybe this Xue Yi is also disguised for some reason, wrapping himself up and turning into a masked man.

"Why did you say those things to me that night in the prison? Why don't you give up and live? Lu Shaoyang asked.

"Because I thought about myself." Xue Yi replied, "I feel that there is an indescribable connection between you and me. This connection was very distressing to me, but in the end I followed my heart and decided to help you out of this difficult situation, so that you feel that there is still hope for you to live, and I think that maybe only you are alive can make me understand what is bound between you and me. ”

"According to our Yin and Yang family, this should be interdependent!" Lu Shaoyang Road.

Xue Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "What? Are you a member of the Yin and Yang family? That fugitive from the Xia Kingdom is from the Yin and Yang family, could it be that you are really ......"

"Yes and what? Are you going to tell your general? Lu Shaoyang asked rhetorically.

Xue Yi smiled: "How can I tell him? That Fan Zhong is very inward-looking, a villain who only knows how to work and scheming, not a soldier, let alone my Xue Yi's general. I am only loyal to Da Chu and my people, but I will not be loyal to people like Fan Zhong. ”

Lu Shaoyang said: "It seems that you are very prejudiced against him!" ”

Xue Yi shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm at odds with him, but I can't get used to the way of the world today. Now the king is indeed attacking and plundering the land, and the momentum is like a bamboo, but behind this situation that no one can resist is a crisis in the country. However, everyone only saw the whitewashed prosperity and peace, and heard the song of triumph mixed with grievances, but they never found that the state of Chu had long been terminally ill. My father once reminded the king, but he was carried away by interests and couldn't listen to persuasion at all. Later, due to the prince's uprising, my father was simply imprisoned on the charge of rebellion. Originally, I would have been sat together, but fortunately, several old ministers tried their best to persuade me to save my life, and finally I was thrown into this barracks and made a small general. Therefore, it is not Fan Zhong who I resent, but those who have led the Chu State astray. ”

"So you want to change the situation in the Chu State?" Lu Shaoyang asked.

Xue Yi looked up at the sky and said, "It's not easy to talk about!" I am a soft-spoken man, and I am the son of a sinner, who will listen to me? ”

"Maybe there will be a turnaround in the future, as you told me, as long as you live, there will be hope!" Lu Shaoyang said.

Xue Yi said: "Yes, you are right! But the most important thing for you now is how to escape from this Chu State camp. ”
