When the weather was clear, Li Siye put Dai Wang under the verandah in front of the hall, so that he could bask in the sun a little. Dai Liulang was sometimes unconscious, sometimes awake, and sometimes almost on the verge of dying, Li Siye could only keep pouring hot water on him.

Extensive facial burns are not considered a major injury in modern times, and the greater damage comes from psychological and dignity. But at the moment, there are no anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics, and Dai Wang is like stepping into a ghost gate, relying entirely on his body to resist.

Li Siye, who had been busy all afternoon, squatted under the porch, and said angrily: "Forget about death, the province is half dead and uncomfortable." ”

Fortunately, Dai Wang's fever finally subsided in the middle of the night, and Li Siye felt that his vitality was slowly recovering, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of the improvement of the situation, he decided to go to the backyard of Anxiliu in Pingkangfang, since he disappeared on the fourteenth night of the first lunar month, he has not been there until now, which will inevitably arouse suspicion.

Li Siye led the horse to the door of the backyard, observed the look of the gatekeeper, there was nothing abnormal, and after entering the door, he saw Cheng Qianli squatting in the yard, and beckoned mysteriously when he saw him.

Li Siye thought that something had happened again, and hurriedly walked towards him, Cheng Duhu led him to the corner, and said in a low voice: "Have you heard of it?" ”

"What?"

"Something big has happened in Chang'an!" Cheng Qianli's expression looked very grim: "The night before yesterday, the saint was assassinated by a murderer who entered the Calyx Tower, but fortunately, there was no danger, the saint was fine, and the traitors were all ambushed." It is said that the burning and collapse of the big lamp tower was also committed by the murderers, and these people are really bold and reckless. ”

"Really?" Li Siye showed a look of surprise, and also felt Cheng Qianli's strong gossip heart.

"I heard that the imperial court had learned in advance that the murderers were going to come to Chang'an to assassinate, but they still narrowly succeeded, and the prince personally supervised the case, and he was also implicated and almost deposed."

He nodded heavily as Cheng Qianli's tone intensified, the rumors were already very close to the truth.

"Why don't you look surprised?"

"Who said not to be surprised!" Li Siye's eyes widened and said, "I heard that something happened in Chang'an City, but I didn't expect it to be such a big thing.

Cheng Qianli patted him on the shoulder and said: "This is the accurate news I got from officialdom, you must not tell others, you will be punished for spreading rumors." ”

"Of course I know."

The two of them arrived in the main hall of the backyard one after the other, and the news was no secret from the swaying light in his eyes.

Fu Meng said to the two: "Chang'an has been restless recently, I have decided to leave Beijing on the second day of the second month of February, and you should prepare in advance." ”

"Tomorrow I will enter the palace to meet the saint, and ask the saint to grant him a marriage for the Khan of Silu, and ask him to marry the daughter of Dumozhi and the daughter of the Charizard Khan."

Li Siye pondered, and at once he got two wives for Silu, and this kid didn't know if he could afford it. On the second day of February, he was going to leave for the west of the city, and Dai Wang's body did not know how much he could recover.

After getting the exact date, Li Siye also hurried back to Xinchangfang, but when he was halfway there, he was stopped by a noble lady riding a purple-maned horse.

Yang Yuyao was wearing a hood and a green round-necked robe in front of him, she reached out and lifted the corner of the tulle of the hat, revealing her jade face and red lips, and angrily pointed at Li Siye and asked: "On the fourteenth night, the old lady helped you enter the palace, and you ran away without saying a word!" What's going on, do you think that my Yang Yuyao's face is a rag, and you can throw it away if you want to? ”

This woman is useful.

Li Siye had no choice but to apologize and find some excuses for himself, but he didn't say that he was going to save the emperor, and the other party could guess some clues.

"Did you see the thief robbing the saint from the Calyx Tower, and hurriedly ran to rescue the driver, is it your credit for saving the driver?"

"No, no, I just saw it, but by the time I got there, they were gone. Let you worry about white. ”

Yang Yuyao's expression softened, and she suddenly said: "Tomorrow, the fat man is going to leave Beijing and return to Fanyang, you and I will go with me to see him off by the Baqiao outside the city." ”

"Shall I send him?" Li Siye's face subconsciously showed disgust.

"What? Does Ann Fat make you annoying? Yang Yuyao opened his mouth to complain for An Lushan: "He has never offended you, and he has praised you in front of me several times, but don't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”

"Have you ever seen a gentleman with three hundred pounds?"

Yang Yuyao sneered out on the horse, took off her hat and asked him, "Whether you are going tomorrow or not, don't worry, I will also send you when you leave." ”

"Okay, I'll go." Li Siye led the horse and turned to leave.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Oh." He turned around and said, "I have some things today that I can't accompany you for the time being. ”

The third sister of the Yang family put on her hat angrily, thinking that those officials in the imperial court, who saw her Yang Yuyao couldn't wait to put it up, and there were even those who lined up outside her Yang family. If someone doesn't cherish this gift in front of him, don't blame her for not giving him a chance in the future.

Li Siye paid great attention to inquiring about Zhang Xiaojing's news, he might be promoted to general because of his meritorious service in saving the driver, maybe he should let him know about Dai Wang. Those who want to touch can't be touched, and those who don't want to see can always dangle in front of you.

He returned to Xinchangfang, just as the Taoist priest came to change the dressing, opened the courtyard door and put it in, the Taoist priest changed the dressing process very quickly, and left with the box in a few minutes.

Dai Wang's condition improved, he was always awake and able to sit up.

Li Siye sat on the threshold, turned back to him and said: "On the second day of the second month of February, we are leaving Chang'an for Moxi, if you have anyone you want to see, I can arrange it in advance, such as Zhang Xiaojing, he may not know that you are alive now." ”

"Don't go to him." Dai Wang shook his head bitterly: "Don't tell him that I'm still alive, so as not to trouble him, he has his own future." ”

"Regarding this, I am very unfortunate to tell you that Zhang Xiaojing will not have any major promotions in his life, and he will stop at the level below the sixth grade, and it is difficult to advance half a step."

Dai Wang coughed violently: "He saved the saint, he saved the saint from under my hands!" Isn't that a big enough credit? ”

Li Siye calmly analyzed: "He did save the saint, but he also witnessed the most embarrassing day of the saint, and the people who saw this scene were basically dead, leaving only Zhang Xiaojing alone." Do you still expect the emperor to elevate him to a high position, and you can meet the emperor often? As soon as the emperor saw him, he could remember when he was most humiliated, could he still accept it? ”

Dai Wang's face showed a look of disappointment, and the corners of his mouth smiled mockingly: "So before you rescued the driver, you wore a masked scarf on your face so that the saint could not recognize you, so that you could maintain your official position and be promoted smoothly." It's really a shrewd villain. ”

Li Siye didn't care about his villain's name, and continued to say to himself: "This is just one thing, and the other is the other, everything that happened on the 14th of the first month, everyone in Chang'an City is consuming each other for power struggles, and the only person who can save the people with a pure heart is Zhang Xiaojing." Everyone saw this, but they couldn't understand it, and they couldn't do it, but before they fell asleep at night, they could only think back to what had happened. ”

"In fact, everyone has such a sublime shadow in their hearts, and they will take it out and imagine it in the dead of night, but no one will take it as a code of conduct. But there is such a person, who has done it like this, and his behavior is to slap the face of all the officials in Chang'an City who are selfish and dusty. His moral standards are so above the crowd, how can they tolerate him? ”

Dai Wang's mood gradually dimmed, and the little vitality in his eyes leaning against the wall disappeared.

"You are proficient in big cases, and you are well versed in people's hearts, how can you not know that Zhang Xiaojing can only stop here? It's just that you don't want to admit it in your heart. ”

"What about you? General Lee. Dai Wang asked him mockingly: "Do you also aspire to be him, but you can only do things with a utilitarian heart?" ”

"You're wrong, I'm actively lowering my moral standards for some noble goal."

Dai Wang was silent for a long time, and Li Siye, who was sitting on the threshold, did not speak, and only after a long time did he speak: "Before leaving, I want to see their mother and son one last time, even in the distance." ”

Li Siye understood that he was talking about Xu Bin's wife and children.
