Chapter Forty-Six: This Is Where I Was Held
Ji Xiaoguang frowned, and faintly felt that something was wrong, but that emotion was only fleeting, and he gradually relieved - after all, His Majesty decided to reuse Guan Kuo, even if he put this guy down because of the pressure of the ministers, but after all, the feelings are there, and it is appropriate to do something special.
So he nodded, and said nothing more, just to relieve himself of the uncomfortable feeling of walking for so long, and began to chant poetry softly again:
"Chang'an Avenue is narrow and sloping, and the green cow and white horse are seven incense cars. The jade chariot crossed the main place, and the golden whip flocked to the Hou family......"
After a long time, there is a place where the scope is still the same, but it suddenly gives people a sense of abstract enlightenment.
The warden arrived, silent, silent.
The knowing palace general's eyes lit up and nodded.
And Ji Xiaoguang, who was reciting poetry in high spirits, his voice stopped abruptly, his smile instantly froze, he stood in place, and said with difficulty: "This ...... This is where this thief is held? ”
……
……
Many years later, Guan Kuo still feels a little warmth when he recalls the scenes he has seen today.
Recalling Ji Xiaoguang's wonderful expression, I still feel funny.
It was a cell, and the essence was exactly the same as all the other cells around it, except for the size and style of the outside.
But inside it's different.
It was completely different from the surrounding area, even the cell next door, with a bed, a desk, and even a carved wooden table with a few ancient books.
There weren't many things, but compared to the other cells, they were clean and well organized.
This is where Guan Kuo is going to stay next?
Isn't such "detention" a child's house?
Is he a criminal or the second master in prison?
Ji Xiaoguang didn't get an answer, because now everyone knows that this question has no meaning at all, they have all come here, not to "detain" Guan Kuo, who else will be imprisoned?
With a face full of disbelief, Ji Xiaoguang looked at the warden elder eagle.
The eagle gave him a slight gesture with a strange expression.
"Chained." The palace general seemed to have anticipated the unacceptability of Ji Xiaoguang and the others, so without any further delay, he said directly to the palace guards behind him.
A palace guard walked up to Guan Kuo and lowered his shackles.
Guan Kuo felt the relaxation of his body, and stretched his arms, so that he felt that the action of holding the basket was not very awkward.
He looked down at his clothes, although they were very ordinary cold-resistant clothes in the palace, but they were too "luxurious" to put in this prison, and he couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to change your prison clothes?" ”
The palace general glanced at him and said, "That's it." ”
"But......" he paused, then commanded, "search." ”
Guan Kuan opened his arms and let them search his body, he did not have the idea of escaping from prison against His Majesty's will, and at present, it seems that staying here for a few more days to avoid the wind and rain outside is really a good decision.
In his body, there was naturally nothing else except the holy decree and those bandages.
The palace general raised the Qin Kill in his hand and said, "This knife will be handed over to Your Majesty for the time being." ”
Guan Kuo nodded, in this great Northern Tang Dynasty, if Qin was killed in the hands of others, he would be extremely uncomfortable, and maybe only that supreme man would feel open in his heart.
"You are seriously injured, you will be wronged tonight, starting tomorrow, there will be two palace maids in the house outside the prison to boil medicine for you, and send it every day, if you want to eat, you can also tell them at any time." The palace general said again.
Ji Xiaoguang's eyes straightened, and he felt that his mouth was extremely bitter.
"This ...... It's not good...... "Probably I feel that I am too embarrassed to be treated like this as a prisoner, Guan Kuo scratched his head and said.
"That's Your Majesty's will, and you want to disobey?" The palace general's voice cooled.
He is to Guan Kuo, and naturally he is also to Ji Xiaoguang, who now has mixed feelings in his heart and almost scolds his mother.
"So be it, good." Guan Kuo was a little speechless.
However, what he saw and heard today was too appalling, even if the palace general made a vague threat, Ji Xiaoguang couldn't help but speak:
"Your Majesty...... It's not appropriate! His face was very ugly, and his voice became a little stern, "If you commit a big crime, a sinner must look like a sinner, Guan Kuo, this little thief has brought so much turmoil to Chang'an, it is simply an unforgivable crime, and it is not an exaggeration to cut it with a thousand knives, Your Majesty, he is really ...... It's just too ......."
His emotions were very excited, and his body involuntarily moved violently, but fortunately he forcibly held back the three words he was about to say-
Messing around......
But Your Majesty is really fooling around like this!
Even Guan Kuo himself thinks it's a little incredible, where is this "detention"? It's just like my own home, and there will be palace maids to serve me from tomorrow, is it possible that the former glory of the prince of the palace has to be realized from this prison?
It's too mocking.
Ji Xiaoguang waved his sleeves indignantly, and then turned around with a "brush".
The palace general asked in a cold voice, "Master Ji, what do you want to do?" ”
"Humph!" Ji Xiaoguang's mood was completely ruined, and at this moment, he no longer showed hypocritical respect to the palace general, but snorted coldly, and said with a cold face: "I'm going to ask to see Your Majesty, and I also want to tell those adults whose children are being destroyed by this thief that it's not right to do this!" ”
The palace general narrowed his eyes, a treacherous sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Master Ji, let's slow down first, today's matter, I can't help you, deal with Guan Kuo's matter first, your matter, postpone it." ”
"My business? What's the matter with me? The bad feeling in Ji Xiaoguang's heart became deeper and deeper, his face was very depressed, and he couldn't help but ask coldly.
The palace general didn't pay attention to him, but looked at Guan Kuo and said, "How about it, Captain Guan, do you go in by yourself, or will we let you in?" ”
Guan Kuo shook his head with a smile, took a few steps, and entered the prison.
He really didn't know what to say now, he, a prisoner, was treated like this, it was simply funny, and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot for some reason. Although the general's tone sounded like a warning that he was a criminal and that he better be obedient, he was happy to try to feel comfortable on the delicately carved bed right now.
