Chapter 507: Retreat to the Mountains and Forests
In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Xiao Li didn't want others to know about his secret return to Beijing with Hui Shangyi, so he cleaned up and hid directly in the shadows.
The Wu clan was extremely reluctant to see the six princes, but because of his identity, he still had to go to the main hall to receive him.
"I don't know why His Highness came here today?"
At the mention of this, Wu unnaturally narrowed his eyes and maintained a good attitude as much as possible.
The sixth prince obviously didn't take the Wu clan in his eyes at all, he raised his hand to signal, and the little servant behind him stepped forward to place the things prepared in advance in the main hall.
Seeing boxes of things fall to the ground, the sixth prince said unhurriedly, "This palace heard that General Hui is now seriously ill and bedridden, so he specially brought some good medicinal materials to visit General Hui, I don't know if this is convenient or not?" ”
After a slight pause, the Sixth Prince chuckled, his eyes full of smiles.
"If General Wu is unwilling to let the palace see General Hui, of course the palace can understand the reason, so he will go back and tell his father the truth about the matter, so that he can rest assured."
The meaning of the six princes' words is simple and clear, as if the Wu family does not agree to the six princes visiting Hui Yuzhong, they will directly inform the emperor of Hui Yuzhong's pretending to be sick, and at that time, they will not only pretend to be sick, but also deceive the emperor, which is a crime of deceiving the emperor.
After careful consideration, the Wu family was still forced to take the six princes to the bedroom where Hui Yuzhong was resting.
At this moment, Hui Yuzhong was lying on the bed, his eyes were closed, and his face looked pale.
"Your Highness, the general is sick after all, you should keep some distance from him, so as not to pass the ...... that the illness gave you"
Before Wu finished speaking, he saw the sixth prince walking straight to the bed, he carelessly took out a delicate small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, opened the cork, and directly poured out the white powder inside, swaying it into the air.
Not to mention Hui Yuzhong, who was lying motionless on the bed, even the Wu clan who was standing in the distance coughed twice in a row, and some couldn't bear the pungent smell of the powder.
I can't bear it, and I don't need to endure it anymore.
Wu Shi frowned, glared at the Six Princes fiercely, and directly asked the Six Princes who were now sneering in a cold voice, "Your Highness, what are you doing!" ”
"Do what?" The sixth prince didn't take Wu's words to heart at all, just looked at Hui Yuzhong, who was still motionless, and said casually, "Of course, I want to see if this General Hui is really sick, or if he can't afford to pretend to be sick." ”
This kind of itchy powder is not something that ordinary people can bear.
If Hui Yuzhong pretended to be sick, he would definitely not be able to stop the itching all over his body, but when the sixth prince saw that even so, Hui Yuzhong was still lying on the bed without moving at all, this was a complete belief in the fact that Hui Yuzhong was paralyzed.
"General Wu, since General Hui is very sick now, you still have to be mentally prepared, don't wait for General Hui to be gone in the end, you haven't come out of the pain yet."
When he said this, the eyes of the six princes were full of ridicule, and they did not take the fact that Wu and Hui Yuzhong were once the generals of the Shengguo and once defended the country for the Shengguo, but they always treated them-for-tat.
Hui Yuzhong lying on the bed had actually woken up a long time ago, but he still forcibly endured this kind of pain that was not a taste, and the hand hidden in the futon had already been tightly clenched into a fist, if it weren't for the status of the six princes, I am afraid that Hui Yuzhong would have wanted to get up directly and beat him up now.
The six princes came and went in a hurry, and now they had left the room with a smug smile.
Xiao Li, who was hiding in the corner, saw that the figure of the sixth prince had completely disappeared, and he didn't care about thinking about anything at all, so he hurriedly came forward to see Hui Yuzhong, fortunately, Xiao Li, the antidote to this itchy powder, had always had it with him, and after taking the pill, Hui Yuzhong's condition was already much better.
Hui Yuzhong looked at Xiao Li, who was busy in front of him, and the emotions in his heart were a little complicated for a while, and he didn't know how to face Xiao Li.
In the past, Hui Yuzhong used to treat Xiao Li with a bad attitude, but even so, Xiao Li did not have the slightest intention of scheming with himself, but directly saw himself without thinking about it, and Hui Yuzhong was inevitably a little moved spontaneously.
Sensing that Hui Yuzhong's mood was a little abnormal, Xiao Li couldn't help but ask with concern.
"What is wrong with you right now? I just diagnosed you, and there shouldn't be anything abnormal, if it is......"
Hearing these words, Wu Shi also looked at Xiao Li's gaze, and asked Hui Yuzhong about his current situation a little softly, "Do you really feel a little uncomfortable?" ”
Hui Yuzhong had to admit that the pills Xiao Li gave him were indeed very good, but in fact, there was no itching and unbearable feeling now, but Hui Yuzhong was just alone in his heart.
He shook his head gently, and said to Xiao Li solemnly, "Li Li, it was indeed my fault before, it was my blind eyes that would have looked at the wrong person." ”
Xiao Li has always been a person who loves and hates clearly, and it is impossible for her to worry about what happened in the past, and besides, the current situation does not allow her to recall the messy things in the past.
Xiao Li just shook his head slightly, and replied directly without thinking, "Since the past has passed, let's not mention it now." ”
Simply ending the past in a few words, Xiao Li was a little angry, and he became more and more resentful in the face of the six princes, and kept scolding twice, "These six princes are so vicious that they have even used such insidious tricks." ”
Hearing this, the Wu family, who had always been more impulsive, gently stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Li's shoulder, calming down and comforting her, "Li Li, in fact, for us, maybe this temptation of the six princes is indeed a good thing." ”
Just when Xiao Li felt a little confused about this, Hui Shangyi stood up and unhurriedly informed her of his opinion, "Li Li, think about it, if the sixth prince knew that his father had no way to go to the battlefield now, he would definitely let down his guard against the Hui family in his heart, and he would also be able to let the Hui family escape this catastrophe for the time being, you say, isn't this something to be thankful for?" ”
In terms of the chaos in the capital immediately, the current situation is indeed able to let the six princes let go of the Hui family for the time being, but thinking about the behavior of the six princes carefully, Xiao Li still couldn't help frowning, and his expression gradually became solemn.
"Mother, I can naturally understand what you said, but according to me, I still hope that you and your father can withdraw from the court as soon as possible and return to the mountains and forests as soon as possible, at least you can stay away from these sinister courts."
Xiao Li's face was full of worry, but he hoped that the Wu clan and Hui Yuzhong could leave the panicked court as soon as possible, and even stay away from the complicated and strife capital.
If he really left the capital and stayed away from these complicated affairs, the Wu clan was naturally eager for such a day.
But in fact, the Wu clan still has no way to forget the ghost soldiers in the hands of the six princes.
The power of the ghost soldiers is huge, and it is extremely likely to hurt ordinary and innocent people, if the six princes secretly use the power of the ghost soldiers one day, I am afraid that it will endanger the safety of the entire imperial court and even the entire kingdom.
Hui Shangyi also agreed with Xiao Li's idea, so he persuaded together, "Mother, father, according to the current situation, you can find an excuse to go back to the countryside to recuperate, instead of staying in the capital and continuing to intrigue with the six princes or something." ”
After thinking about it for a long time, Wu still sighed softly, and said his thoughts clearly, "Li Li, Shang Yi, you should know the situation of the ghost soldiers better than me, if the six princes have any bad behavior, we can still be the first to know when we are in the capital, but if we are really afraid that the six princes will come to the door to find trouble, we will be timid and afraid." ”
Hui Yuzhong raised his hand to clasp Wu's hand, the same attitude as her, "Yes, Shang Yi, Li Li, you should understand that we hope to be able to help you, after all, no matter what, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and in the future, you may have any other places where you can use the Hui family's power, and it is also the best choice for us to stay in the capital." ”
Seeing that the Wu family and Hui Yuzhong were so persistent, Xiao Li was embarrassed to continue to refuse, she smiled a little helplessly, and finally could only nod and agree, "Since this is the case, no matter what happens, my mother and father must protect their own safety, and there must be no danger." ”
There is no need for Xiao Li to remind them, the Wu family and Hui Yuzhong also understand that the hearts of the people in the court are sinister.
After all, the two of them have been fighting for so many years, and they still have the most basic vigilance that other people should keep.
"Li Li, don't worry, we'll be fine."
Wu Shi easily showed a smile, and wanted to reassure Xiao Li from the bottom of his heart.
Perhaps suddenly thinking of something, Hui Yuzhong turned to look at Hui Shangyi who was standing not far away, he beckoned to Hui Shangyi and motioned for Hui Shangyi to come over.
Seeing this, Hui Shangyi didn't hesitate anything, and directly raised his steps and stepped forward, "Dad, what do you want to tell me?" ”
"Shang Yi, the reason why we continue to insist on staying in the capital is not only to avoid any small actions that the six princes will make next, but also to leave you a way back, so if there is anything in the future, you can just tell me and your mother."
Hui Yuzhong and the Wu family, of course, are the ones who are most concerned about Hui Shangyi and Xiao Li.
Hearing this, Hui Shangyi and Xiao Li glanced at each other, and nodded vigorously without thinking.
