In the evening, a figure sneaked into the side hall.

This person is the chamberlain that Su Dingfang saw in the afternoon, named Xiao Liu.

He closed the door lightly, took out the drawings and looked at them, remembering what the bag looked like, and then began to look for it.

He searched very carefully, even the corners under the tables and chairs.

Suddenly, the base of the screen caught his attention.

He hurriedly walked over, lay on the ground, and pulled out a silk thread from under the base.

Blue and white silk threads, isn't this exactly what Su Weishu described?

Xiao Liu was overjoyed, and hurriedly put his hand into the base and groped for it.

But after groping for a long time, he didn't touch anything, so Xiaoliu got up and moved the screen.

The screen is very large and heavy, which is a bit difficult for Xiao Liu, a half-grown boy who has no martial arts.

Therefore, Xiao Liu took a deep breath and used all his strength to move the screen away.

However, the screen was removed, and the ground was empty.

Xiao Liu couldn't help but raise the silk thread in his hand, his eyes were full of doubts: This silk thread should have been torn off the bag, it fell here, the bag should have fallen here, how could it not be found?

After thinking about it, Xiao Liu carefully searched around the screen again, and then moved the screen back to its original position.

Then he searched the house carefully again.

"Let's all go quickly."

Suddenly, there was movement outside, which made Xiao Liuyi tremble, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the lid slammed heavily on the box.

"Alright, let's do it here today."

This is the voice of King Qi.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Wenbao's voice sounded: "Master, there seems to be movement in the house, I'll go in and take a look." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Liu quickly got up, took out the drawings and threw them into the incense burner, and then took out a rag to wipe the cabinet.

With a "squeak", the door opened, and Yu Wenbao walked in.

Seeing someone inside, Yu Wenbao asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Xiao Liuqiang pretended to be calm and walked over, and replied respectfully: "The slave is cleaning." ”

"Since it's cleaning, what are you doing with the door closed?" Yu Wenbao stared at him tightly, his eyes sharp.

Xiaoliu knelt down and said tremblingly, "Slave...... The slave hadn't cleaned it before, so he sneaked in and continued to clean.

"The slave was afraid that the steward would find out and be punished, so he closed the door."

As he spoke, Xiao Liu began to kowtow: "The slave will not dare to be lazy next time, please don't tell King Qi, don't tell the steward, please." ”

He kowtowed very hard, but after two strokes, his kowtow was already red.

Yu Wenbao looked upset and shouted, "Okay, get up." ”

Xiao Liu paused, then slowly stood up.

"Are you done cleaning?" Yu Wenbao asked as he looked around the room.

Xiao Liu quickly glanced at the incense burner, and the fire inside had been extinguished, so he replied, "I'm done cleaning." ”

Hearing this, Yu Wenbao walked to the chair and stretched out his finger to touch the chair.

Seeing that there was no dust on his fingers, Yu Wenbao nodded with satisfaction: "This time the cleaning is good, come out with me." ”

"Yes." Xiaoliu followed Yu Wenbao and walked out.

Yu Wenbao said to Li Yuanji: "Master, he is cleaning inside." ”

Li Yuanji looked at Xiao Liu, and saw that he was thin, hanging his head, and looking like he would be blown away by the wind at any time, Li Yuanji's eyes lit up.

"Today, let's have something new."

Li Yuanji looked at the attendants below and said loudly: "You are divided into two teams, one is the Tang army and the other is the Turkic soldiers.

"In this war, the Turkic soldiers kidnapped the people on the border and used this as a threat to make the Tang army hand over the city, and the task of the Tang army is to hold the city."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji raised his hand and pointed: "You, come over and be a prisoner." ”

Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment, and then walked over obediently, but if he looked closely, his body was trembling.

"Alright, let's get started."

After Li Yuanji announced the start, he sat down on a chair.

The palace maid immediately poured a glass of wine and served it with both hands.

Li Yuanji stretched out his hand and took the wine glass and drank it all.

Another palace maid fed the peeled grapes into Li Yuanji's mouth.

The palace maids served Li Yuanji carefully, and the attendants in the courtyard had been divided into two teams, each holding sharp weapons, trying to pretend to be a soldier's momentum, and waiting for the battle.

And Xiao Liu was tied up, escorted by a tall chamberlain, and had a sharp knife around his neck.

Feeling the cold front on his neck, Xiao Liu's whole body stiffened, and he didn't dare to move, lest he accidentally hit the big knife, and then died.

"Knock...... Knock knock ......"

Yu Wenbao sounded the "war drums", and the "two armies" immediately lined up and confronted each other fiercely.

"Wait for the barbarians, quickly release the people of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise I will wash the Turks in blood."

"Hmph, don't be ashamed, if you hand over the city, I will let him go, otherwise, my Turkic iron cavalry will level your city."

"Speak wildly! I'll ask you again, to let it go or not to let it go? ”

"Don't let go."

"Well, if that's the case, then don't blame us for being ruthless."

The "chief general of the Tang Army" was about to give an order, but the "deputy general" persuaded: "General, no, our duty is to guard the frontier and protect the people, and now that the people are abandoned, Your Majesty will punish us if he knows it." ”

The "general" was unmoved: "How can a life be compared to a city?" Needless to say, release the arrows. ”

When he saw the attendant on the opposite side take out his bow and arrows, Xiao Liu shouted in fright: "Help me, help me, I don't want to die......"

"Wait." Li Yuanji suddenly spoke.

Everyone moved.

Xiao Liu was overjoyed in his heart, he thought that King Qi was going to stop this "war game".

Who knows, Li Yuanji taught him a lesson: "As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, you should commit suicide before you fall into the hands of the enemy."

"Not only did you kill yourself, but you were also used by the enemy to blackmail the city general, which is already a great shame, so at this time, you can't shout for help.

"Instead, I should say: I am a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, I should defend the territory, and you should wait for the barbarians, and don't want to use me as bait to destroy my city.

Then he shouted at the general who defended the city: General, it is my honor to sacrifice my life for the country, and you must not hesitate to destroy this group of thieves.

"In the end, I will yell again with righteousness and awe-inspiring words, 'Kill the thief, release the arrow'."

After teaching Xiaoliu a lesson, Li Yuanji said loudly: "Okay, according to what I just said, do it again." ”

Xiao Liu's face turned pale, and he said with a crying voice: "King, can you just be like this and don't let go of the arrows?" ”

"How's that going to work?" Li Yuanji's voice was cold: "If you don't play with real knives and guns, what's the fun?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Liu's legs became weak, and his lips began to tremble: "King, please spare the slave, the slave doesn't want to die." ”

He was only thirteen years old, and he still had a lot of time in his life, and he really didn't want to die.

Seeing Xiao Liu's cowardly and frightened appearance, Li Yuanji was very excited, he hooked the corners of his lips, with a hint of evil smile: "Since you don't want to die, then when the arrow comes, run faster." ”

After speaking, Li Yuanji instructed the guards: "Untie him." ”
