Chapter 17: Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy
Xiaoxiao was quite comfortable in prison.
If you are someone else, you will be lonely, fearful, and even depressed in a dark room all day long, without freedom, and surrounded by silence.
She doesn't care, with or without light, it's the same for her eyes.
Her hearing is also extraordinary, and she can hear the whispers of distant places clearly.
There are stories telling in her ears all the time.
Gradually, she sorted out the context of the characters in the cell.
In a cell where many people live together, the relationship between the prisoners is very similar to that of a wolf and a wolf.
The cell head is equivalent to a wolf's head, and the first thing that will be a rule for the new entrant will be beaten, and that person will be beaten up for some reason, either he will obey and lie down by the toilet honestly, or he will be good enough to kill the old cell head and become the new cell leader.
No matter how powerful the cell head is, it's just an ant under the jailer's feet.
The jailers used the prisoners to make as much money as they could.
In their eyes, those sinners do not distinguish between the severity of their crimes, nor do they care whether they are wronged, but only whether they are "filial".
They would even force people to confess, and the horrible wails of the prisoners as they were tortured made her feel terrified.
Most of these prisoners show a kind of collapse of fragility or the stubbornness of dead pigs who are not afraid of boiling water.
Xiaoxiao felt that she had a kind of indifference from the situation, enjoying a completely independent and free space, standing in the perspective of a bystander, experiencing an alternative life in prison.
What made her happy was that her "bed" was very comfortable, and even an inn could not provide such conditions.
She was soaking comfortably in the water of the big wooden barrel, burying her whole head in the water, enjoying the moisture of the water, when the prince came.
He was also curious like Fan Lu to probe her water with his hand, and was splashed with water by her.
Then she waited to be scolded by him.
Outcome......
"The girl's body fragrance is very different,"
He dipped one of them in his finger and sniffed it under his nose with an intoxicated look.
Perverted! He scolded with a smile in his heart.
"If the girl thinks this is the best way to take care of her skin, then how much water she wants, just ask the jailers." The prince looked at her with bad intentions.
When the jailer told her that she had this special hobby, he liked it.
I have long been obsessed with her skin, and of course I hope that she will continue to take good care of it.
Xiaoxiao is too lazy to take care of him, such a simple truth, can he be used to be verbose?
You can hear who and who has given you how much money they have given themselves.
These three characters, in addition to the crown prince, also have an old uncle and a self-proclaimed trustee.
If one of them is Banyue's people, then who is the other side?
It's so weird, does anyone know themselves?
But I don't know anyone except Banyue and the prince.
"Did the girl consider the suggestion made by this palace yesterday?" The prince asked eagerly.
He was surrounded by flattering women, and he had a strong curiosity for this proud girl, and he wanted to get her into his own hands.
"Of course, the little girl is willing to follow His Highness."
After thinking about it with a smile, she coaxed him first, lest he forcibly deprive him of this comfortable day.
A false promise, in exchange for a good prison life, is very cost-effective-
Isn't this what humans are used to?
"Clever." The prince smiled.
He's not that easy to deceive, though.
What you say can't be counted without real evidence!
He wanted to write down the pleadings with a smile, accusing Ban Yue of robbing the people's daughter and forcing her.
"If I write down the paper now, won't Your Highness need the little girl? Can the little girl get out of this cell? He couldn't laugh at his words.
Isn't the black and white words a solid crime?
"This is your fault, can't even this palace believe it?" Hole under the prince plate.
"Then doesn't Your Highness also believe in the little girl? General Banyue has collapsed, His Royal Highness pointed out a clear path for the little girl, I don't follow His Highness to enjoy happiness, do I still follow him to the frontier to serve hard labor? He asked with a smile.
Her eyes are ghostly and crystalline, and she can really hook the soul, and the prince unconsciously gave in: "What a clever mouth." As she spoke, she couldn't help but want to touch her face.
She spilled a large handful of water.
The prince's clothes were wet and embarrassed, but she laughed loudly, and her voice was very moving.
"Naughty!" The prince couldn't get angry because of this, "Next, it depends on your performance, and when you enter the East Palace, the palace will clean you up." ”
I don't believe that she dares to disobey herself. With her status and charm for women, it is impossible for her not to want to enter the East Palace.
"Your Highness's clothes are wet, it is not advisable to stay for a long time, hurry up and leave, so as not to catch a cold." drove him away with a smile, afraid that he would lose if he said too much.
The prince was still reluctant to leave, tiptoed to look into the bucket, saw that her figure was really attractive, swallowed a little saliva, and said: "You like water so much, when the time comes, the palace will make you a spring water, so that you can have enough." ”
"Okay, looking forward to it." Smile and smile charmingly.
This fascinated the prince, and he was confident that he had completely done her.
---------------------
After Banyue was grounded, the guard post at the gate of the General's Mansion was taken over by the forbidden army, and there were also forbidden troops patrolling day and night.
Uncle Qian often went to the house to do chores, even if the forbidden army recognized him, but because his boss had explained that anyone entering and leaving must be strictly checked, he did not relax his vigilance at all.
In the middle of the day, the sun was very hot.
He and three family members came out with hats and bamboo baskets, saying that the general had been reading a lot recently, and asked them to exchange the old books for some new ones.
The forbidden army guarding the gate carefully checked and found that the bamboo basket was indeed filled with bamboo slips, so they let them go.
At dusk, the three of them returned with Uncle Qian, and the forbidden guards checked as usual, and there were still bamboo slips inside, so they let them in.
The three of them came to the study with Uncle Qian, unloaded the heavy bamboo basket with difficulty, took off the hat, and bowed to Banyue: "General, it's too late." ”
Banyue looked up, a rare smile on his face.
Jin Ning took a closer look and found that these three family members turned out to be the three bookkeepers of the Haiphong Battalion.
It turned out that they had changed into the clothes of the family and mixed in.
The three were shocked and knelt down one after another: "Thank you for saving your life, General." ”
Pan Yue helped them up: "Extraordinary times have made you suffer so much, General Ben thank you for your support." ”
"General, ethics is the most important, do not make false accounts, and protecting the account book is the duty that our account office should do."
"I've been working hard all the way, so please go and rest first."
Uncle Qian led the three bookkeepers away.
Jin Ning was very happy, he was really worried about it before.
It turns out that the general did not sit still, but strategized!
After dark, two figures avoided the patrol of the forbidden army, quietly climbed over the wall into the general's mansion, and touched the outside of the study.
"Someone is coming, hurry up and greet you." Banyue suddenly put down the book in his hand and instructed Jin Ning.
Soon, Jin Ning led two people in fishermen's costumes in.
Ban Yue greeted him and held the tall man's hand: "Brother Chen Qiao, you really live up to your expectations." ”
"General, it's so dangerous, fortunately, there are brothers in the north to help." Chen Qiao said to introduce the people behind him.
I saw that the man was black, not tall, and his body was stout.
He did not speak, but bowed his head.
"General, don't blame him, he can't speak since he was a child." Chen Qiao explained.
"What's weird? Thank you, Brother Nianbei. Banyue shook hands with Nian Bei.
Nian Bei was very shy, and his eyes flashed with excitement.
"Let Uncle Qian bring wine and meat." Banyue instructed Jin Ning.
"Okay." Jin Ning happily ran away.
He recognized Chen Qiao.
Chen Qiao is a fisherman, known as floating on the water, and his kung fu of driving boats and swimming in the water is very good, and he has made outstanding contributions in the war with Yu Kou.
After quelling the Yukou Rebellion, Banyue wanted to recruit him into the Haiphong camp, but he said that he was used to being loose and could not be controlled, so he returned to his old business and continued to make a living by fishing.
Jin Ning didn't know when the general contacted him, and how he helped the three bookkeepers enter Beijing.
Jin Ning and Uncle Qian quickly brought the wine and meat, placed it on the table, and invited the two strong men to sit down.
"General, you are too powerful, how do you know that someone will attack Mr. Bookkeeper?" Chen Qiao asked curiously.
"It's just a matter of knowing yourself and your opponent." Banyue replied calmly, poured wine for the two of them personally, poured it for himself, and then saluted each other: "Thank you, two brothers." ”
"General, you are really polite, you saved the lives of our whole village, what is it for us to do this little thing."
"!" Banyue raised his head and drank the wine, then showed them the empty glass.
They were full of gratitude, and they were all gone.
