Chapter Eighty-Seven: Slaves
"You've been sick for a long time, and you've fallen a lot before, and now it's almost the same, it's time to cultivate your health well." When Mi Bei heard this, he knew that he couldn't escape, so he nodded.
"Then the teacher will leave, so you can rest well." After speaking, Si Tong also touched Mibei's head and left.
"Lao Bei, then we're all gone, you remember to eat."
In the blink of an eye, I saw that everyone else was leaving, and Qiu Fang reminded him when he left.
"Got it." Mi Bei picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and ate it.
"Young Master Ruan Lan, are you still there?"
Mi Bei was halfway through eating, and felt that someone around him was staring at him eating, who knew that it was Ruan Lan who was looking at him, so he asked.
"It's nothing, just watch you eat, you eat slowly, you don't have to care about me, I just have something to ask you."
"If there is anything, just ask directly, don't be particularly restrained, after all, you are the one who has saved me many times, so we don't have to worry about him."
Mi Bei said as he ate.
"Okay, I just want to ask, did you know what your brother, General Nangong, was doing recently?" Ruan Lan saw that Mi Bei didn't look too restrained, so she asked directly.
"No, I haven't seen my brother lately, he doesn't know what he's been busy with lately, what's wrong?"
Mi Bei stopped the osmanthus cake in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Recently, there have been rumors in the nearby city that General Nangong was ambushed, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead."
"What?" Ruan Lan calmly told Mi Bei about it, and Mi Bei was so excited that she almost stood up on the bed and shouted.
"What the hell is going on?"
Mi Bei anxiously asked Ruan Lan on the side, a little blaming him for why he didn't say it earlier, and looked at Ruan Lan suspiciously, if there was really a problem, Xiao Liu should know, is the fire so bad now?
"I wasn't sure before, but now it's confirmed, just a few days after watching you, Nangong Jiang was sent to disaster relief, on the way to the disaster area, he was ambushed by thieves, and now his whereabouts are unknown."
After Ruan Lan finished speaking, she took out a very small piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Mi Bei, and there were only a few words written on it.
"My brother is in ambush, don't hang up."
It took Mi Bei a long time to react, these ghost traditional characters, I didn't know what they meant after reading it for a long time.
"Why are you telling me now, don't you know it's important?"
Mi Bei said a little anxiously.
"I haven't seen you much in the past few days, I saw you, you went out again, and now you are even more injured, and I didn't remember this matter until the others left, but since General Nangong said that it was not a big deal, it should be okay, but I can't find the general yet."
Ruan Lan heard Mi Bei say so blamed, and explained, what she said was quite aggrieved.
"Okay, but now my brother can't find him, and he didn't send someone to look for her?"
Mi Bei wanted to ask about the specific situation, and he didn't know why someone would tell him now, could it be that even Xiao Liu didn't know about it?
Who ambushed Nangong Jiang, and were there still many enemies of the Nangong family during this period? In recent years, it's not all relatively speaking, and no one has a special hatred for Nangong Jiang.
Recently, because the new emperor ascended the throne, there have been many changes in the court, and Nangong Jiang was out of the power that Chi Ji needed at the beginning, just like throwing away a used chess piece, and he didn't feel distressed at all.
Recently, Nangong Jiang sent someone to say that he was going to clean up a group of rebel forces, and Mi Bei was thinking that Chi Ji could really use it, and that other people couldn't help him, so he went to Nangong Jiang.
And this Nangong Jiang doesn't know what tendons are pumping in his head, and he doesn't know what troubled water he has walked in, and he really doesn't know what Nangong Jiang thinks.
"Actually, I don't know, but someone secretly sent me this message and asked me to convey it to you."
Ruan Lan heard Mi Bei's question, so she said this.
"Okay, I'll talk to Xiaoliu when the time comes, let's talk about it specifically, my brother shouldn't be so good, besides, now I can't protect myself, it's good to let my brother suffer a loss, otherwise he will always feel that there is no water in it, and it won't be a mistake for life if he becomes a fish in the water."
Mi Bei sat on the bed and thought about it, so he said that, and that was actually it.
"Okay, you just have a good rest, the reason why I didn't tell you as soon as I got it, I also have this idea, General Nangong is also a relatively good person who can save his life, so Mi Bei, you don't have to worry too much."
Ruan Lan heard that Mi Bei also thought of a certain degree and comforted.
"Okay, I'll rest, thank you, you've been worrying a lot about my affairs lately."
Mi Bei said a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, you also helped me before, but you forgot, what's more, these are all my own volitions."
Ruan Lan saw that Mi Bei was also ready to rest, so she didn't say a lot, but she stopped at the point, and she was also very tired when she saw Mi Bei, and her voice was very small, and she didn't know if Mi Bei heard it.
Ruan Lan didn't reply to him when she saw Mi Bei, so she left quietly.
Inside the main hall of the wooden country
"Empress, General Nangong Jiang has been out before, knowing that he has not come back now, there is no sound at all, Weichen is wondering if he is in danger, Weichen suggested sending someone to find it."
"Alright, I know, let's send."
Since Chi Ji sat in the highest position in the main hall, he has been busy with his henchmen, and he wants to cultivate his henchmen, but most of them are some mediocre people who have stammered with him, and they don't know where they went, but those who have a little bit of use value are not on their side.
Chi Ji was also very tired in her heart, and she didn't know why she could do so many things before, although she was able to get what she wanted, but she didn't know why she was so empty.
"Okay, let's retreat if we don't have anything to do today."
Chi Ji has been relaxing in his palace since he got off the morning court, and he has been busy on weekdays, and he has no good rest, and he just said that he received the information a long time ago.
Chi Ji knew in her heart that the subordinates who had just raised it were all Nangong Jiang's former subordinates, and now she was in a hurry, so she deliberately raised this question, this is to wake up to herself, after all, Nangong Jiang is also working for herself.
"Autumn rain, autumn rain."
Chi Ji was irritable for a while, and I didn't know why there was always a little bit of unhappiness in my heart, people said that the more people were above, the less people understood, and no one understood the bitterness in my heart.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the autumn rain is here."
"Quick, as usual."
I saw that a little palace maid seemed to hear her name and was called out, so she trotted in, responding as she ran, and then after hearing her master's command, she answered.
"Yes."
The palace maid slowly retreated, and after a while, she walked into two rows of men, the men were not as well-dressed as everyday, most of them were a little enchanting, wearing light gauze, faintly leaking out of the skin like a woman, which made people think about it.
Each man was holding something different in his hand, with strange shapes, and the only thing he could see and understand was something to eat and something useful.
"Playing music."
The palace maid still watched the two rows of men enter one after another, followed by a row of palace people carrying musical instruments, and the surrounding palace maids closed the door, and continued to close a curtain in front of the door.
Suddenly, the palace seemed to be a little dim by that layer of curtains, and when there was a sound, the palace people in the back row took the instruments and prepared their positions, and the melodious music sounded.
Sometimes it sounded like a voice from the devil's hell, sometimes it was like a silent and feeble voice of grumbling, and no one could hear what kind of melody it was, but they didn't know whether such a world was hell or heaven.
"Queen, come to the slave's side, quickly."
"King of slaves, I want it too."
"King, let the slaves serve you."
For a while, the men in the two rows, as if they heard the voice, changed their previous serious appearance, and in the blink of an eye, they looked like men in the green building, trying to please the high-ranking people all the time.
Chi Ji was surrounded by one man after another, some were feeding her, some were smoothing her hair, some were hanging her back, and some men took off Chi Ji's shoes and looked at Chi Ji's white slender feet a little greedily, as if they were tasting the most delicious food in the world.
Ji Ji seemed to be accustomed to it, without any expression on her face, like a puppet, without any emotion, no matter how they showed themselves or dressed themselves, there was no pleasure.
"Is that all you have to do?"
Chi Ji said coldly, so that the male pets around him didn't know how to please this high-ranking person, and his body trembled a little, for fear that he would be ordered by the queen not to see the sun tomorrow in the next second.
"Your Highness, this batch is already the last batch."
Qiu Yu heard Chi Ji say this, shook his courage, stepped forward and said.
"Then keep looking for me, I worked so hard to get to this position, isn't it for these rouge fans, isn't the lesson I gave them before enough?"
Ji Ji continued to say coldly.
"Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, spare your life."
The male pets around seemed to feel that something was wrong, so they hurriedly gathered together, knelt down, and kept begging for mercy.
From the time they were first arrested in the palace, they had heard that some of the previous batches of men had been sold as military slaves, some had been ordered to be beheaded because they were not satisfied at all, and the best ones were left as men.
"Then you take out all your skills, that's all, you get tired of seeing it every day, and there is nothing new?" Ji Ji said again and again, and she didn't plan what to do with them.
"The slaves know about it, and they will... Will do its best. ”
