Chapter 109: Repatriation to Jiankang

Zuo Zhen was on duty there, and suddenly he was sent by Liu Yan to deliver food, and he was naturally a little unhappy, and he happened to bump into Ruoyu and Pei Shudong who were still looking for food on the way, so he told him what happened. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Ruoyu was worried about half of it, so he hurried back to the palace after saying goodbye, but Pei Shudong was very kind to help Zuo Zhen send grain door to door, and when the grain was sent directly to Hai, it was only half delivered.

Pei Shudong had to desperately appease the people who had not yet arrived, but at this time, news came from the palace, and Pei Shudong immediately rushed back to the palace with troops to be on duty.

Pei Shudong didn't know what to do, and he really couldn't get out, so he went back half an hour late, and it was this half an hour late that allowed the hundred or so thieves to escape from prison.

Liu Yan was very disappointed with Pei Shudong's recent negligence twice, if it was in the past, it would have been enough to scold him lightly, but he is now King Lu Gong, the ruler of a large country. If he still ignores his mistakes as before, then the ministers will be criticized, and his identity as King Lu Gong will also be criticized.

Without waiting for Chu Shenxia's words, he tossed up in the middle of the night, and summoned several confidants and ministers into the palace overnight to discuss how to convict Pei Shudong.

The ministers argued, from Pei Shudong's incident to the punishments of the past dynasties, and then they went farther and farther, talking directly about the current system of Lu and the pain of the people's taxes.

When Liu Yan walked out of the Zhonghe Hall of the proceedings, he saw Pei Shudong kneeling in front of the hall with red eyes.

The father-in-law outside the hall saw Liu Yan stunned in place, and hurriedly leaned over and said softly: "Your Highness, General Pei has been kneeling here since last night, and we don't dare to disturb the interest of His Highness and the ministers, and we refuse to persuade General Pei to leave, so we ......"

"Okay, I got it." Liu Yan waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to say anything, walked two steps in front of Pei Shudong, and said in a deep voice: "What are you still kneeling here for?" Let's go back. ”

"Go back? Has His Highness forgiven the last general? The last general is grateful, ......" Pei Shudong looked happy, and hurriedly kowtowed in thanks.

A hand reached out in front of him and stopped him from kowtowing, Pei Shudong looked up at him in confusion, a little uneasy in his heart, and sure enough, he said coldly: "You go back to Jiankang." ”

A boulder hanging from Pei Shudong's heart suddenly fell heavily, and he was almost breathless when he smashed it, and he spoke incoherently, "Palace...... Your Highness, I did something wrong, but ...... But, but, I ......"

"It's useless to talk too much, go back and reflect on what went wrong." Liu Yan was also a little unbearable when he saw him like this, but this time was the time to establish the prestige of the monarch, how could he be soft-hearted and leave with a flick of his sleeves.

"I know it's wrong, Your Highness, really, I know it's wrong, I shouldn't leave my post without permission, let alone have a fluke mentality, Your Highness, don't drive me away, if I leave, what will Your Highness do?" I'm not at ease! Pei Shudong saw that he turned around and wanted to leave, so he hurriedly took a step.

After all, he is a comrade-in-arms who shares life and death, how can he be ruthless like this, but he was spared so easily, this night's conversation is not equal to empty talk, and the previous efforts will be in vain, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the crime of being crowned by the ministers will only be greater.

Liu Yan was very embarrassed, his two eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together, and just when he was about to soften his heart and turn around to help Pei Shudong up, Chu Shenxia's voice of comfort came from behind.

"General, let's get up, don't make it difficult for His Highness."

When he turned around, Pei Shudong had already gotten up, and when he met his gaze, Pei Shudong hurriedly said again: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I really know that I am wrong, and please don't drive me back to Jiankang." ”

Liu Yan glanced at him and left, Pei Shudong's heart was cold, and he wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Chu Shenxia.

"General Pei, this matter is a foregone conclusion, since you have Your Highness in your heart, then what's the difference where you are, if Your Highness doesn't punish you this time, it will be really difficult to block the mouths of the people. In my opinion, you should go back first according to His Highness's orders, don't worry, Your Highness will naturally be the last move. ”

Chu Shenxia patted him on the shoulder, and seeing his frustrated look, he couldn't help but whisper: "General Pei, let me remind you of a word, now, you can no longer treat His Highness as His Highness." ”

Pei Shudong's lowered eyes suddenly rose, and he looked at Chu Shenxia in surprise, not understanding what he meant, Chu Shenxia raised his eyes and motioned him to look at the sky, and then said: "When you understand this meaning and know what you are wrong with, Your Highness may let you come back." ”

Pei Shudong frowned and pondered, as if he was still thinking about what Chu Shenxia's words meant, and in a flash, Chu Shenxia's people didn't know where to go for a long time, but unfortunately he still didn't realize it, so he sighed at the moment, and had to hang his head and walk outside the palace gate.

"Your Highness hasn't slept all night, aren't you going to take a rest?" When Chu Shenxia entered the Xuanxiao Palace, he saw Liu Yan bowing his head in front of the table to review the official documents.

"Oh, you're here, is Shudong gone?" The pen in Liu Yan's hand shook rapidly, but the words under the pen were very neat and beautiful.

Chu Shenxia nodded, but found that he kept his head down all the time and couldn't see his movements, so he replied: "General Pei is leaving, but I see that he is quite lost." ”

"I have known Shudong for many years, and I know his temperament best, if you don't tell him the difference between eggs and sweet potatoes in person, he can't understand it himself." Liu Yan seemed to think of something, the pen in his hand suddenly paused, looked up at Chu Shenxia, and said suspiciously: "Shen Xia, there is something I haven't been able to figure out." ”

"Your Highness speaks, I'll listen."

"Yesterday on the mountain road, why did you watch the half-rong girl being threatened, but you didn't save her? Don't you like her? Liu Yan stared at his eyes tightly, trying to find a trace of abnormality in them.

Chu Shenxia said very calmly: "Because I know that the man in black will not kill Banrong easily, and I also want to tell His Highness that the group of people in black are from the rivers and lakes, and this time they are acting on the orders of King Qing." ”

"Don't get away from the topic, I don't think it's that simple, the emotions you showed at the time were not half worried, but suppressed a bit of anger, am I right?" Liu Yan put down the pen in his hand and looked at him proudly with his hands around his chest.

Chu Shenxia was amused by his inexplicable eyes, and then puffed up and said, "When did Your Highness care so much about my expression?" Isn't it right to care about half-capacity? ”

Liu Yan pretended to smash the official document in front of the table on him, and threatened: "Okay, you actually learned to make fun of me, I don't have time to talk to you, Banrong has not been in a good mood since he came back, you go to see her, if you don't go now, you may not see her for a long time." ”

"What's wrong? Where is she going? Chu Shenxia asked.

"Look at what you're nervous about, it's not where she's going, it's my father who called me back to Jiankang to report on my work, and by the way, congratulations on my mother's birthday." Liu Yan laughed and continued to bow his head to read.

"I think it's Concubine Xian's overthinking."

Liu Yan felt that his statement was very fresh, and the words in his mind couldn't help blurting out: "What mother in the world doesn't miss her son, won't your mother miss you?" ”

Not realizing that something was wrong with the person in front of him, Liu Yan continued: "This time when you go back, you should also go to see your mother, I haven't seen her for so long, and she is alone now, I'm afraid it's twice as much as my mother's longing for her son." ”

"Your Highness, I'll go down first."

Hearing Chu Shenxia's extremely cold voice, Liu Yancai suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, and wanted to explain something, but he couldn't say it, and squeezed out a word for a long time.

"Okay."

Chu Shenxia thought of seeing Jing Ming yesterday, and guessed that since he had come to Huangling, he must have seen Yongming, so he rushed to the Jiaonu Palace.

It's not that the enemies don't get together, the lady bumped into Banrong who came to treat Yongming in front of the palace, and Banrong snorted coldly when he saw him, and was about to cross him and go to the palace.

Chu Shenxia felt funny, and smiled at her back: "Are you really angry? It can't be pretended, right? ”

Banrong was poked in the heart by his words, turned his head suddenly, and said in a cruel tone: "What did you say?!" You think everyone is like you, and the city is deep enough to reach the sky. One second you can ignore my life and death, but the next second you look at each other coldly, and even say something to tell the killer to hurry up, isn't this hypocrisy?! ”

"Did you misunderstand?" Chu Shenxia smiled bitterly and looked at her expressionlessly.

"I didn't! It's you who dare to do it yourself and don't dare to admit it, what's the matter, will you forget about it again? Then I'll remind you. Banrong said and took two steps closer to him, with an unconcealed anger on his face, naked to his cold gaze, and said word by word: "The divine doctor is so easy to die?" Those of them must be eager to snatch a doctor back, doctors in troubled times are all pivotal, how can they easily hurt her? If you really want to kill her, you don't have to wait for us to hand over the food, and the person is already dead. ”

Chu Shenxia frowned slightly and said, "You heard this, so you were hiding next to you at that time?" So why not make a sound? ”

"I've been blindfolded, how can I make a sound? Aren't you usually smart? Why are you confused at this point? Hearing his tone, there seemed to be a sharp sword hidden between his words, and every word came towards him, and the fire in his heart burned even more.

Chu Shenxia was also angered by her words, and said, "I'm confused? Do you really think everyone else is stupid? When we go to the valley, you shout there, not only to drag us down in search of food, but also to inform the thieves to transfer it, don't you? ”

Banrong saw that he slandered himself, and was about to refute, but he didn't even have a chance to speak, Chu Shenxia spoke quickly, and didn't give her a chance to think at all.

"Later, you were threatened by thieves, and I saved you with a knife, but you pushed away the thieves and saved him in front of me! Don't tell me, you're sympathetic to the thieves, how many fights have you been through with us? How many broken bones have you seen? Do you sympathize with a thief who wants to kill you at this time? ”

Banrong finally explained: "You still have the face to say? I was in front of him, and I was so close, but you flew a knife, do you want me to die or he die? As for why I pushed him away? Jokes, that's my instinctive reaction, I'm a doctor, naturally different from people like you, the first reaction is always to save people. ”

"When people encounter danger, isn't their first reaction to self-preservation? How close is that thief to you, so that you can save him at the risk of your own safety? If you say you don't know each other, I think that's a joke. Chu Shenxia paused, walked forward, took two steps and stopped, turned around and said loudly: "Big joke!" Hahaha! ”

Banrong was so angry with his sarcastic laughter that he trembled, and threw the medical box in his hand at Chu Shenxia at once, the medical box hit Chu Shenxia's back and fell to the ground, and the medical box fell into a heap.

"Chu Shenxia, don't expect me to treat you in your life!" (To be continued.) )
