Under the eyes of Ma Yanshou and other officials, Wang Pu and other pavilion guards, Dai Zong drove a carriage, carried Liu He, and left the Gongguan with more than 20 Changyi young men and walked towards the road he came.

By this time, the sun had set in the west, and the temperature was hotter than before.

Dai Zong's excited appearance was a little different from when he came, and he just lowered his head and drove by himself.

And the young men behind the carriage who had just regained their freedom were also silent all the way, just calmly following behind the carriage, walking forward with some reluctance.

From time to time, the swallows that fly by make a chirping sound to make them look up and show a subtle smile.

I don't know if they are happy for the birds returning to the north, or if they are relieved for their own freedom.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent, not at all like a team of dozens of people.

Liu He took out the kettle tied with red twine, unscrewed it, and poured it down.

The slightly sweet and bitter plum wine with a little coolness flowed into his throat, making Liu He can't help but let out a pleasant sigh.

This sigh dispelled the depression left by the tragic situation of the engineer in Liu He's heart.

"Come on, Dai Qing also take a sip!"

Dai Zong took out a free hand, took it and sniffed it, shook his head and said, "Under the door, the subordinates are driving, and it is not appropriate to drink." ”

"Bit, this plum wine is not strong, just take a sip and go to the frustration just now!"

Dai Zong smashed his mouth, and his throat moved obviously, but in the end, he shook his head and said: "A gentleman has something to do, and he should not drink alcohol while driving." ”

"You and Na Yu are really people all the way, it's really boring!"

However, Liu He did not embarrass Dai Zong anymore, and he threw the leather pot filled with honey water into his arms with his backhand.

"Then drink this honey water, but drink the honey water out of the pride of wine!"

Liu He said that, stood up on the driving seat, and staggered to the roof of the car.

"Door, be careful!"

Dai Zong wanted to stop Liu He, but Liu He deftly dodged him.

"Don't stop, keep going!"

Dai Zong had no choice but to slow down the speed of driving.

Liu He stood up leisurely, and only after he was firmly on his feet did he shout twice to the group of silent young men behind him.

"Do it with a sad face, raise your head!"

The young men woke up like a dream and looked at Liu He in unison, but there was still some fear and awe in their eyes.

"Out of this engineer, you are no longer slaves, I hope you can show some of the sharpness of a young man!"

"Come, open the wine, take the first sip of wine as an ordinary person, and start from the beginning!"

"Come, drink!"

Liu He raised his head and took the first sip, because he drank too quickly and violently, he choked on the wine, and the whole person bent down and coughed violently.

Liu He looked extremely embarrassed, but for some reason, it made those young men a little moved.

When he finally finished coughing, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

Then he threw the lid into the hand of the young man closest to the carriage, pointed at him, and said, "Come, drink!" ”

The young man hesitated, but he still raised the leather pot, took a sip, then wiped his mouth, and handed the leather pot to the next person beside him.

One by one, the young men took turns drinking the wine from the leather pot.

In the past, they were all prodigals who drank alcohol, but at this moment they drank very reservedly, but in this subtlety there was a decision.

"Good, good, very good!" Liu He clapped his hands and shouted.

"After you go back, you will be punished to clean the official roads in the city for a month, and you should forgive your sins to the people of Changyi City, have you heard?"

After a moment of silence, the boys made a sound like thunder.

"Yui!"

The despondency and horror on their faces were swept away, and they were no more.

Liu He returned to the seat satisfied.

"Are you blaming me for not saving that teenager?"

"The subordinates don't dare." Dai Zong's hand holding the reins trembled.

"That boy is pitiful, but others are also pitiful, even if I saved that boy, how can I save everyone now?"

Liu He deliberately said the word "now" very seriously, and Dai Zong naturally understood, and his expression eased a little.

"But, someday, I'll try to save everyone."

After Liu He finished speaking, he patted Dai Zong's shoulder, sat back in the carriage, and at the moment when he lowered the curtain, he finally said: "Have a good talk with Ma Yanshou tomorrow, buy as many people back as possible, and bring him back if the young man is still alive." ”

"No." Dai Zong said with a little choked up.

The next day, most of the people in the palace were as busy as usual.

Yu Wuwu is still fighting with those accounts that have been handed over by Hetian without hesitation; Dai Zong once again rode the carriage to find Ma Yanshou to bargain; The young men who brought back left the palace of Changyi early in the morning and scattered to the official roads in the city to clean up the filth; The other Langzhong confessors were also busy with their own affairs.

On the contrary, it was Liu He who finally had some free time.

Early in the morning, Liu He first silently read dozens of pages of books in the Fuyao Palace, and then drew five or six new patterns.

At noon, in front of the chef and the slave maid in the kitchen, he copied a dish of leek bacon with a new-style iron pot sent by the iron official, and in the envious eyes of everyone, he cut down three bowls of bean rice.

When Liu He walked out of the dining room with a full hiccup, ready to have another "day sleep" that Kong Qiu was ashamed of, Yu Wuwu stopped Liu He's way.

Liu He hadn't seen Yu Wuwu for a day and a half, but he was surprised to find that the other party was a lot haggard.

The originally thin face is even clearer, the dark circles under the eyes are much thicker, and even the perennial meticulous "crown" is a little crooked.

It seems that the pile of accounts sent by Tian Buxi is really a very difficult bone to gnaw.

"Yu Langzhong is a lot haggard, but he still has to ensure his body, so has there been some progress in the accounts?"

"It's going to take some time." Yu Wuwu thought for a while and said, "Three days, it will take three days, and the subordinates can sort out all the accounts." ”

Liu He was secretly happy, it seems that he can be idle for a few more days.

"This speed is not fast, why is there joy under His Highness?"

"Ahem, the widow is very satisfied, don't speculate!" Liu He, who was afraid of being seen through, quickly changed the topic and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Yu Langzhong looking for a widow?" ”

"Lang Zhongling is here."

"It's already there?"

"Well, I am waiting for His Highness in the Changyi Hall at this moment."

"Got it, the widow will go now."

After speaking, Liu He strode towards the direction of Changyi Palace.

"Your Highness, if a gentleman is not serious, he will not be ......," Yu said without worrying dissatisfaction.

"The widow knows, the widow knows, Yu Langzhong should check the accounts quickly."

Liu He said and quickened his pace, and threw Yu Wuwu, who wanted to stop talking, in place.
