Han Wangfu.

As the saying goes, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, not long ago, the Han Wangfu can be said to be one of the most lively mansions in the whole capital, the emperor cultivates, and the state affairs are handled by the Han King and the prince, but the prince suffers from a disability, and there are very few people involved in politics, and many things in the court, the Han King is personally inquired into, and many decisions in the province are also to inform the Han King in advance, so the Han Wangfu has never lacked guests, and the front of the house is often overcrowded and busy.

At that time, it was different from the past, the original courtyard was like a city, and now it has become a vermilion bird, when Chu Huan followed the King of Qi to the Han Palace, the front of the palace was deserted, but there were several guards sent from the palace to guard outside the palace gate, the gate was closed, and it was already showing a depression and dilapidation.

An Guogong rebelled, the Han King was involved, An Guogong Huang Ju was dead, and at that time few people heard the news about the Han Wang, although there were many people who secretly paid attention to the Han Wang, but this time the Han Wangfu has been closed for a while, and the idle people are even more inaccessible, and the guards are guarding the gates of the Han Wangfu, in the eyes of many people, this is the emperor thinking of the love of father and son, and is not ready to kill the Han Wang, but sent someone to imprison him.

Although a few people know about the madness of King Han, it is still a secret until now.

Sun Desheng stepped forward and knocked on the door, the guards saw that it was the king of Qi coming, naturally they didn't dare to stop it, the door of the house opened a small crack, saw the king of Qi, the people inside let the king of Qi a few people in, the house was already deserted, lifeless, as soon as the king of Qi entered the house, he felt a little chill all over his body, and couldn't help asking: "Where are the people in the house?" ”

The one who opened the door and led the way was an old servant in his fifties, with a lonely face, shaking his head and saying, "It's all gone." ”

"Gone?" King Qi frowned and said, "Third brother here, there were a lot of doormen at the beginning, are they all gone?" ”

The old servant smiled bitterly and said: "After His Royal Highness the King of Han had an accident, some people were arrested by the Criminal Department, and most of them have long since disappeared...... Even the people in the house, many of them secretly left...... There are only five or six old, weak, sick and disabled ...... left in the house! After a gust of wind, the old servant seemed to feel a little cold on his body, and couldn't help but tighten his clothes and asked, "Does Your Highness want to see His Royal Highness the King of Han?" ”

King Qi bowed slightly, looking at the dilapidated look of the Han Palace, but his mood was also very low, and asked, "Where is the third brother?" You have brought this king to him, and how is he doing? ”

The old servant looked gloomy, shook his head and said, "It's very bad......!" He sighed and said, "Your Highness comes with the old slave...... It's been a while and no one has come......! ”

He led the way in front, Chu Huan and Sun Desheng followed behind King Qi, turned left and right along the bluestone path, and walked for a while before turning into a courtyard, King Qi frowned and said, "Where is this?" ”

"Stables!" The old servant said, "King Han is in the stable." ”

"Stables?" King Qi frowned and said, "The third brother is not in good health, so he can't rest well, what are you going to do in the stable?" ”

"Your Highness will understand at a glance." The old servant said gloomily: "It's been several days, and King Han has been staying here ......!" He pointed to the front and said, "Your Highness, there is a stable in front, the king of Han has not eaten today, the old slave is going to prepare some food ......!" He shook his head, let out a long sigh, and turned away.

Not far ahead, sure enough, there is a stable, the door of the stable, there is an oil lamp hanging, at this time the sky is slightly dark, the oil lamp is dim, the breeze caresses, the oil lamp is also swaying in the wind.

Approaching the stable, he immediately smelled the strange smell emanating from inside, King Qi was about to step forward, Chu Huan had already taken two steps forward, walked in front of King Qi, and said softly: "Your Highness, let me take a look first." ”

King Qi was stunned, but he also understood now that Chu Huan was afraid that there was another mystery inside, which would be unfavorable to him, so he went over to explore the truth first, nodded, Chu Huan cautiously approached the past, walked to the stable, and gently pushed the door open, there was a smell inside, which made people feel disgusting, Chu Huan raised his hand to take down the oil lamp, and went inside, the stable was also very spacious, and there were a few horses inside, Chu Huan's voice coming in obviously alarmed a few horses, and they were all anxious, Chu Huan lifted the lamp, Knocking around, his gaze suddenly froze, and his face showed surprise.

I saw that in the corner of the stable, there was a pile of hay, at this time there was a person leaning on the edge of the haystack, ragged, sloppy, with a cloak, but his two hands were tightly holding a knife, between the unkempt, Chu Huan vaguely saw that his eyes were closed, as if he had fallen asleep, although his face was dirty, but the edges and corners were clear, it was the Han King Yingping.

Chu Huan really didn't expect that Yingping would become like this.

Not long ago, Yingping, the king of the Han Dynasty, was as rich as jade, peerless and beautiful, no matter who it was, he had to admit that Yingping was handsome and noble, but Yingping in front of him, where was there still half a point of wealth, like a man named Huazi, who looked much thinner, less than ten days after the Tongtian Temple incident, Yingping had gone from a beautiful man to a human form.

Chu Huan was shocked, felt the sound of footsteps around him, turned his head to look, but saw that Yingren had already come, King Qi's eyes were also looking at Yingping at this time, the look on his face was shocked, dumbfounded, for a while, Yingren's body suddenly trembled, and he approached step by step, about to walk to Yingping's side, Yingping's eyes suddenly opened, and he shouted sadly: "Don't come, don't come, don't kill me...... I don't dare...... Please, I don't dare ......! ”

Yingren was stunned, stopped in his footsteps, and shouted softly: "Third brother, yes...... It's me, I'm Yingren......! Although Yingren is stubborn, but he is not a ruthless person, although he and the King of Han did not get along well in the past, but after all, they are also brothers, at this time to see Yingping in such a tragic situation, the heart is very sad.

Yingping clutched the knife, his body shrank back, and his face was afraid, "I...... I don't dare...... Don't take me away...... You're all ghosts...... Ghost...... Ah, you ghosts, I am not afraid of you, I am not afraid of your ......! He slammed his broadsword forward, "If you come here, I'll ...... I'll kill you...... I'm not afraid of your ......! ”

Chu Huan frowned, approached King Qi's side, and looked at Yingping carefully.

After he learned from Xue Huai'an that Yingping was crazy, his first thought was that Yingping might be pretending to be crazy and stupid, and there was such a rebellious thing as rebellion, if he pretended to be crazy and stupid, the emperor thought of the relationship between father and son, and it was possible to open up, before today, Chu Huan always felt that the possibility of King Han pretending to be crazy and stupid was far greater than really crazy.

He looked carefully at this time, but faintly felt that Yingping didn't seem to be pretending to be crazy and stupid, a person's eyes often reveal a person's heart, he saw that Yingping's eyes were scattered, and there was no longer the essence of the past in his eyes, but it was full of fear that went deep into the bone marrow.

"No one killed you." Yingren's voice was a little choked, "Third brother, I'm Yingren, it's your younger brother, you...... How did you become like this? ”

Seeing that Yingren did not continue to pass, Yingping slowly put away the knife, held it in his arms, his eyes were glazed, he shrank in the grass, his body trembled, and muttered: "I'm not afraid of you...... I'm not afraid of ghosts...... You all want to kill me...... I know you're all going to kill me, and I'm not afraid of your ......! ”

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, Chu Huan turned around, and saw that the old servant had already brought a bowl of rice porridge over, walked over, and said softly: "King Han, it's time to eat......!" ”

Seeing the old servant approaching, the king of Han pointed forward again, the old slave did not dare to get closer, just put the bowl of rice porridge on the ground, took two steps back, Yingping stared at the bowl of rice porridge, and suddenly shouted, a knife has been cut down according to the bowl of rice porridge, everyone was surprised, but saw that the king of Han had already said fiercely: "I hacked you to death, hacked you to death, you want to harm me, you are all ghosts, I am not afraid of you, I will hack you to death, ......!" In a moment, the bowl of rice porridge had been chopped to shreds.

Seeing that King Han was so crazy, Yingren's heart was even more uncomfortable, he took two steps forward and said in a trembling voice: "Third brother, don't be like this...... You......! Before he finished speaking, King Han had already raised the knife in his hand, slashed at Yingren, and said sharply: "I'm not afraid of you, if you want to harm me, I'll kill you first......!" Although he was delirious and crazy, but the ability in his hand did not weaken in the slightest, this knife was extremely powerful, the blade roared, Yingren didn't expect Yingping to slash at himself with a knife, frightened, he was stunned, forgot to dodge, but Chu Huan was always on guard, when he saw Yingping's knife, he had already taken a step, grabbed Yingren's arm, and brought it over, Yingping's knife was cut empty.

Chu Huan pulled Yingren, but he was afraid that Yingping would be difficult, so he retreated Yingren easily, then picked up a wooden stick on the ground, turned around, and found that Yingping was already holding the knife in both hands and was retreating.

Sun Desheng had already passed by to support Yingren, and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, are you okay?" ”

Yingren looked blank and shook his head, and the old servant came over with a wry smile and said, "Your Highness, take care, King Han has been here for several days, and since he came here, he hasn't gone out a single step." Every day he said that there were ghosts on all sides, and that there were many ghosts who wanted to harm him, as if he were going to be killed by the ghosts if he left the stable. ”

"And what does he eat these days?"

"Every other hour, the old slave will send food in, this situation, the old slave has become accustomed to it, every time something is sent in, it will be cut to pieces by the King of Han." The old slave sighed: "Fortunately, it has been sent ten times, and if he is really hungry, he will also eat a little ......!" He turned his head to look at King Han and said gloomily: "Your Highness, the old slave said something that should not be said, His Royal Highness the King of Han is like this, it is better to live than to die......!" ”

Yingren looked at Yingping again, only to see that Yingping had sat on the muddy ground again, leaning against the edge of the haystack, holding a big knife, his expression was dull, his eyes were dull, and his mouth was muttering.
