In Li Pengcheng's house, all the subordinates, wives and daughters, and relatives were driven to the outer hall, and a group of old and weak women and children hugged each other, weeping bitterly.

In the backyard, the cool breeze of late autumn has already blown the two old sycamores into bare poles, and the dead leaves have not had time to clean the ground, making the whole yard look particularly dilapidated, desolate and cramped.

At this moment, Li Pengcheng knelt on the ground, tears flowed down his eyes, and he kept kowtowing, and a few feet in front of him, an old figure sat firmly on a Taishi chair surrounded by countless guards, this person was none other than Prince Bao.

"Uncle, I was wrong, please give me another chance, I don't dare, I really don't dare!"

Li Pengcheng is the youngest son of Wuchang Hou Li Ge, the distant nephew of Emperor Hongwei, and naturally the distant nephew of Prince Bao, his forehead has been bruised and swollen, but Prince Bao is still indifferent.

As the white glove of the crown prince and the henchman of his henchmen, the high-ranking prince has too many unsavory things for Li Pengcheng to do, and he naturally has many secrets that others cannot grasp.

Xu Rui did not give Xue Qing a chance, but chose to make a breakthrough from Li Pengcheng, largely because of this.

But who would have thought that after Xu Rui had eaten Li Pengcheng clean, he would not commit any offence against him and send him back completely.

However, if he was able to escape from Xu Rui, how could the princelings let him go?

It is said that the crown prince suffered a great humiliation from Xu Rui, and after he came back, he almost opened half of the East Palace, threatening to break the body of the leaker into thousands of pieces and scatter the bones and ashes.

When Li Pengcheng heard about this, he was so frightened that he shrank at home and did not dare to go out, fantasizing about the last luck, maybe the prince would let him live on the hard work of the past.

But in the end, he didn't wait for the crown prince, but waited for Prince Bao to come to the door.

Prince Bao looked at this junior who was already frightened, and sighed long: "Xiao Mian'er, why do you say this......

When Li Pengcheng was born, he was pleasantly surprised because his father Li Ge had a son, and mistakenly took a quilt for a prepared baby wrap, so he got this nickname, but as he gradually became an adult, this nickname has not been mentioned for many years.

At present, Prince Bao suddenly called Li Pengcheng's nickname, which showed that he still had a trace of family affection, which suddenly gave Li Pengcheng a glimmer of hope.

Li Pengcheng took a few steps on his knees, hugged Prince Bao's calf, and wailed: "Uncle save me, I know it's wrong, I really don't dare, uncle save me......"

Prince Bao sighed again and shook his head: "When you wanted to attack the Origin Base, this king warned you, don't be consumed by profit, Xu Rui is a genius, you can only win over, not offend."

But you and the prince ......

Putting aside the matter of the prince for the time being, he can come to this day because of you people below, pointing fingers behind him for your own selfish desires! ”

"I know it's wrong, uncle, I really know it's wrong......"

Li Pengcheng cried loudly, and now Prince Bao is still willing to scold him, that is, he still has a glimmer of hope, which makes Li Pengcheng grasp the last straw.

And Prince Bao was also unusual, and continued: "You always think that the crown prince is the prince, the future emperor, and the world should naturally prostrate at his feet?

Confused!

At present, the King of Liao is aggressive, and the other princes are eyeing him, and the prince is like being roasted on the fire, which is the target of everyone, and he should be more cautious, walking on thin ice, enveloping the world's talents, and solving problems for the saint!

But what about you?

I know that the last time you ran to Xu Rui to make a big fuss, Xu Rui sent someone to find this king, why is this king willing to sell him a face and make you deflated?

That's because Xu Rui can see through and knows that the point is up, and the old man is willing to leave a good impression on him, so that the prince can envelop him in the future, and at the same time remind you again, don't rely on the prince to do nonsense outside all day long.

But now it seems that you didn't learn a lesson from the last incident and self-reflect, but felt wronged, held a grudge against Xu Rui, and did stupid things again and again.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if you really hate Xu Rui to the bone, then you should lie dormant in secret, wait for the opportunity, and then destroy him in one fell swoop by thunderous means, not leaving him the slightest chance to breathe, otherwise how can you withstand his counterattack?

Like a thief, for the sake of immediate interests, he is scheming and making small troubles, not only is the grudge getting deeper and deeper, but he has not reaped any benefits, and even the old man's arrangement has been completely destroyed by you!

What are you not stupid? ”

Speaking of excitement, Prince Bao was furious and kicked Li Pengcheng out.

However, Li Pengcheng had already identified such a life-saving straw, and like a wild dog, he crawled back again.

Prince Bao looked at this son and nephew who grew up since childhood, his heart softened, and he sighed: "As the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, the real smart person is not waiting to live in someone else's house, but building a house by himself, but you dug a pit and almost buried the prince and the king together."

Let me tell you, if Xu Rui hadn't been swaying left and right between the King of Liao and the crown prince this time, and didn't want to fall into the quagmire of seizing the heir, I can't say that the prince would have been miserable by you this time. ”

At this moment, Li Pengcheng was speechless and could only cry loudly.

Prince Bao smiled bitterly, and his tone gradually softened: "I made an exception to tell you so much today, just to let you know everything, so that you don't want to be a ghost on the Huangquan Road." ”

Hearing this, Li Pengcheng was immediately shocked, and his luck was instantly shattered.

He shouted in astonishment: "Uncle, no, no, uncle, please, help me go and talk to the prince, let me go!" ”

Prince Bao shook his head: "Why don't you understand it now?" It's not the prince who doesn't let you go, it's Xu Rui.

Xu Rui put you back, looking like he had sold the king and the prince a big face, but in fact he wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, because he knew that we couldn't let you go no matter what!

You betrayed the prince, once you are let go, the hearts of the people who follow the prince will be scattered, and they will take you as the standard in the future, who will fight for the prince?

So, from the moment you fell into Xu Rui's trap...... No, since you didn't listen to the advice of this king and insisted on doing something to Xu Rui, your life has been gone! ”

Hearing this, Li Pengcheng's face was like ashes, but his instinct to survive still made him hug Prince Bao's retreat tightly and beg for mercy loudly.

Prince Bao sighed, and said lightly to the commander of the guards beside him: "You go and send him to throw him into the well, seal it with a boulder, and from now on make this backyard a forbidden place, and no one is allowed to enter!" ”

"Yes!"

The commander of the guards hugged his fists and gave orders, and all the guards immediately used them and dragged Li Pengcheng out.

Prince Bao listened to his miserable howl and silently closed his eyes.

At the same time, in the prison of the military department, Wang Yi was staring blankly at the ceiling above his head.

Since he was imprisoned by Xiao Jinwu on the battlefield between the north and the south, he has been locked in a prison car, and with the army returning to Beijing, he finally arrived at this place after several journeys.

At this time, Wang Yi had lost his previous sharpness, his eyes were hollow, his face was gloomy and gray, and he had lost his brilliance.

Suddenly, the cell door was slowly opened, and Wang Yimu turned around, only to see Wang Shun standing at the door with a dead face, like a ghost.

Wang Yi seemed to suddenly realize something, and hurriedly got up, kneeling in front of Wang Shun and not daring to raise his head.

Wang Shun walked up to him and said lightly: "Xu Rui is the champion of the Hou, and he has been promoted to the commander of the Zhengsanpin Tianqiwei and the squire of the military department. ”

Wang Yi was shocked when he heard this, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in Mu Ran's eyes.

Wang Shun glanced at him, turned around and walked out of the cell, but the open door never closed again.

I don't know how long later, Wang Yi raised his head and looked at the door blankly, and suddenly, he laughed, the more he laughed, the more he laughed, the more crazy he laughed.

Gradually, however, his laughter became miserable, sad, and finally burst into tears, crying and laughing.

He understood that from this moment on, Wang Yi would no longer be himself, but just a puppet who lived for others.
