I was silent for a long time......

Suddenly I remembered some of the past, those suspicions, suspicions, precautions, and deceitful life and death, the darkest years of my life, now I think of them as if centuries had passed. When I faced Liu Che's question, I suddenly found that I don't know when the valuable quality of "trust" can also be found in myself.

When did it start? I try to think that after coming to the Han Dynasty, the complex, simple, fighting, and understanding of many experiences after the new beginning, Wei Qing, Huo Quai, and even Liu Che, we gradually established a relationship of trust that cannot be fully explained by reason, but it was Yan Qixing who pushed this trust to a peak.

Love is a fertile ground for trust.

I cherish this kind of relationship, it makes people feel warm and innocent.

Of course, I have thought about what Liu Che said, and I have thought about it more than once, but every time the conclusion is that I believe in Yan Qixing.

"Your Majesty, do you know what faith is?" I smiled in the darkness and asked myself, "Even if it is illogical, contrary to common sense, and it is impossible that there should be no doubt that something should not be wrong, this is faith." ”

"Even if many signs and suspicions point to him, do you still believe him?" Liu Che said in a bad tone.

"Yes. "I'm pretty sure.

He suddenly changed the topic and asked coldly, "Do you remember that day in the Weiyang Palace, I stabbed you?"

"Of course I do. I said. That knife not only hurt his body but also hurt his heart, how could he forget? But he began to call himself "I" again, and some of them emphasized his supreme status.

"I decided to let you go, do you know why?" he asked again.

I rightly said, "Because you believe that I am not a murderer and are willing to give me the opportunity to clear my name." ”

Liu Che smiled and said, "No." At that time, all the fingers were pointed at you, and I couldn't believe it. ”

I was stunned and asked curiously, "Then why did you let me go?"

Liu Che smiled bitterly: "Because after that knife stabbed you, I felt pain from the bottom of my heart!"

I was the one who was stabbed, and I was the one who hurt the most. Although he thought so, he somehow felt a little weak, so he had to remain silent.

Liu Che's voice became deeper and deeper, and a slightly hot breath sprayed on the back of his neck: "At that moment, I had an epiphany, it turned out that no matter what, I had to believe you, because I couldn't bear the consequences of not believing you and doubting you, and compared with whether you were a murderer, what I couldn't bear was to lose you." ”

For about five seconds, my mind seemed to be choked with something, like my body stuck in a well, and it was hard to turn around.

Liu Che continued: "Since you can't lose it, you can only choose to believe it. Isn't that what you do to Yan Qixing?"

It's been a big turn, and that's the theme. I was just a little moved by his "true feelings".

"You have a point. "I'm a little depressed, but he still doesn't believe me. The emperor is suspicious, which seems to be a rule for the ages. "But it turns out you're right. Your child was not harmed by me, your wife was not killed by me, betrayal and escape were not my willing, although Yan Qixing resigned later, it is not very authentic for the two of us to say goodbye without saying goodbye, but I also did a good job of dealing with the aftermath, the resignation was submitted, and the recorder was also handed over, no one expected that there would be this fork, and it was not a person. Anyway, you're still right to believe me. In the same way, it can be proven, and I will not be wrong in believing in Yan Qixing. Your Majesty, you see, you believe me, I believe in Yan Qixing, and if you replace it in equal amounts, don't you believe in Yan Qixing? Believe me, it won't be wrong. ”

"What are you waiting for?" Liu Che was angry. "I like you so I want to believe you, I don't like Yan Qixing, why should I believe him?"

I shrunk my neck and didn't dare argue with him.

Seeing that I was fighting with silence, Liu Che's anger became bigger and bigger, and he added fiercely: "I tolerate you, I won't tolerate him! Don't think that if I like you, I can ask for me!"

"I didn't ask you for anything. "I grumbled. "It seems that the one who has been asking for it all this time is Your Majesty. ”

I also thought about this in my heart, now is not the time to raise the bar and play tricks on the qi.

Liu Dan didn't dare. "I seemed to be humble and perfunctory.

Liu Che snorted and stopped talking, probably still sulking.

There was another voice from above, and Liu Che and I both held our breath......

"Boom", it seems that something has been thrown into the well.

Then someone spoke: "How big can a small Sifang town be, and you can't find them even after digging three feet into the ground, can they really fly to the sky?"

Another god said mysteriously: "The Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, is not the Son of Heaven to be sheltered by heaven, and if this is the case, will we not anger God by acting like this......

"Shh ”

"But all the places have been searched, and if the people are still in the town, where else can they hide?"

The two spoke and left. After a while, someone came again, and it was the sound of "knock" again.

What did they throw into the well?

"What is it?" Liu Che asked in a low voice.

I grabbed his hand and held it tightly.

I thought of what it was, it was a corpse!

They were throwing bodies into the well. The 300 Han troops, and perhaps the people of Sifang Town who spontaneously organized to help us.

The heart contracted.

There was no time to grieve, another serious problem was already in front of us - this hole was not high above the water, if they continued to throw corpses down, Liu Che and I would die, even if we didn't drown in the water, we would have to suffocate -—— suffocate in a confined space where the air was gradually decreasing due to the stuffing of corpses.

Liu Che, who I thought of, naturally thought of it too, he gasped and asked me in a low voice, "Is there a way?"

I said, "There are two ways, one is to resign yourself to fate, and the other is to go up and die." ”

With a "bang", the third corpse ...... Of course, the water level is rising again.

The two hearts beat violently like drums, and in the cold well, I was sweating all over.

"People are dead, why bother?" another conversation came.

"It's almost dawn, and Wei Gongzi said that if these corpses are found, it will ruin the prince's big business. ”

That prince doesn't have to think that it must be the king of Huainan.

"I can't find almost every inch of land, isn't it the emperor...... They've escaped from Sifang Town?"

"God knows. However, Gongzi has already set up a stop, and there are hidden piles all over the radius of ten miles, even if he can get out of Sifang Town, he can't escape. The voice grew indistinct.

I listened intently to their conversation with my ears pricked up, trying to figure out a way to escape from the unexpected biased information. Listening to the voice, this group is two groups of four people, who are specially responsible for disposing of corpses......

Corpses, corpses, perhaps, those corpses can help us.

"If I don't want to die, I have an idea. "Even though the idea is really disgusting.

Sure enough, Liu Che immediately objected when he heard it: "No, I'm ...... I am the Son of Heaven, but you want me to be mixed in the pile of the dead? ”

That's right, that's my plan, to mix in the pile of dead people and put corpses.

"Okay, then let's wait for death together. I said slowly.

For a while no one spoke. After the fifth corpse was thrown down, Liu Che asked in a muffled voice, "Is there no other way?"

"Yes. "I'm sarcastic. "Your Majesty, your mind is many times smarter than Liu Dan, and you must be able to think of a better way. But you have to hurry, I guess the water level has risen now, and if you lose a few more, it will be flooded. ”

Naturally, he didn't know what it meant to be a mountain of water, and he didn't have the heart to ask me what I meant, so he pondered for a moment and said helplessly: "Okay, I will depend on you." ”

In the end, life is more precious than face.

I came up with the idea, and he naturally did the procedural things. Taking advantage of them to drag the corpse, Liu Che began to act. The width of the cave was narrow, but there was still a gap in the height, so he tried to turn over—only on top of me.

"Hey, what are you doing?" I was embarrassed.

"Dig up the adobe. He replied casually.

"Hey, you slow down. ”

"If it's too late, it will flood the gold mountain. ”

"Why are you so heavy? Crush me to death. ”

"It's going to get used to it. ”

I'm used to your size, and it's like there's a follow-up, and it's really unreasonable!

He kept moving on me, and he really ate all the tofu, which made me extremely embarrassed, but there was no way, who told me to come up with this bad idea? Who told me that the discord between the time and the place was the right way to make it like this?

"How about digging a crack first. ”

He stopped suddenly.

"The water level is still more than an inch from the entrance of the cave. He said.

Someone came again, and the body was thrown into the well, and the splashing sound was clearly audible. Liu Che lay motionless on me, carefully listening to the movement outside.

"There are still two left. Liu Che looked at the situation outside and said.

"Dig up the adobe, and take advantage of the darkness of the day. I reminded him softly.

"Good. Answering the next liu che made an action i didn t expect, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed me on the mouth, fiercely.

"Woo......" I couldn't move or struggle, and the already thin air disappeared all at once, and soon my brain was about to suffocate due to lack of oxygen.

Just when I was about to hang up, he finally let me go with great mercy. It's too late to curse and greedily take a few breaths of air. As soon as the smell of blood and water rushed into my throat, I couldn't help coughing. Almost at the same time, a body was thrown into the well.

"Do you hear strange noises?" said one man.

"What sound?"

"It's like a cough. ”

"There is only a well of dead bodies here besides you and me. Could it be ...... Corpse?!"

"You, don't scare me. ”

The two guys muttered and left, but I was covered in a cold sweat.

"Do you want to die?" forgot that he was the emperor, and just wanted to vent the fear and anger in his heart.

I couldn't see his expression in the dark, but said lightly: "If you and I die here today, we will have no regrets." ”

With that, he quickly dug up the rest of the adobe and quickly drilled out.

I was stunned, and a wave of guilt came over me, and even the shame of being forcibly kissed was diluted a lot. It's really terrible, I have paid a lot for the big man and Liu Che, but why do I feel like I owe him a lot? Just thinking about it, Liu Che had already dragged me out.

When I touched my hand, it was wet and sticky, and I couldn't help but "Geden" in my heart, which was naturally human blood. Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time, when I really face it, it is really not ordinary and unbearable.

Soon, the clothes on his body were wet, and he felt cold to the bones, and the cold air of the well water wrapped in the bloody smell, penetrating into the nostrils, pores, and even bone marrow in the boundless darkness, making it even more terrifying. I desperately suppressed my mental and physical reactions and smiled bitterly, it seemed that there was no way to ignore death and blood in this life, and at the same time, I was inevitably glad that at least I hadn't become so cold-blooded.

The corpses were thrown in one by one, I was nothing, Liu Che was so tired that he wanted to die, and he had to protect me from being smashed by the corpse, and he had to drag me to climb up on the dead, so it was naturally harder.

As dawn came, the darkness grew louder and louder, and I shivered incessantly with cold. Looking up, the morning star was shining brightly, hanging over the velvety night, beautifully. Now our situation is exactly in line with the idiom - sit in the well and watch the sky!

I rose with him in the pile of dead people, and by the faint light of the morning light outside, we were at least three meters away from the well, but no more bodies were left behind.

When I was nervous, the sound of footsteps sounded again, accompanied by the sound of "brushing", as if someone was sweeping the floor with a broom, and then, splitting my head and covering my face was poured down like a rain of something, pouring my head and face, as if I was smashing a stone on my forehead, no matter how painful it was, I didn't dare to scream, I raised my hand and touched it, lean, blood in one hand, and a bag in one head.

Waiting for the bastard's footsteps to be far away, Liu Che asked in a low voice, "How are you?"

"It's fine. "I held my breath. "What about you?"

Liu Che didn't answer, but reached out to hug me and chuckled.

"Coming back?" I tried to push him away, but I couldn't do it. "You can still laugh at this time?"

Liu Che said with emotion: "I'm thinking, you and I are living and dying together, and the friendship of adversity is precious, and I will always remember it." ”

"Memories can be tiring sometimes, especially when it's a bloody memory, and the sooner you forget it, the better. I whispered. Although the wall of flesh was much warmer than the wall of the well, I still preferred not to lean on him. Because I knew he wasn't going to eat my tofu, but wanted to warm me with his own body heat—I was already shivering with cold.

"Someone else is coming. Liu Che said in my ear.

This time it seemed to be three or four people, and their steps were unusually slow and heavy, as if they were carrying some heavy load.

Before I had time to think about it, there was a "boom" that shook my eardrums, and then all the morning stars disappeared into deeper darkness.

It took me a long time to react. Liu Che lowered his voice and said, "They blocked the wellhead. ”

#￥%*&￥#@！～

We are now at the height of the wellhead, and it is not easy to climb up, and we will add a heavy ...... It's probably a boulder, but this time it's really dead. Suddenly remembered the part where Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan were trapped in a dry well in the middle of Tianlong Babu, which was really similar to the scene in front of him, the only difference was that there were fewer lovers and more dying ghosts.

"What should I do?" I was always asked what to do, and I never thought that these three words would come out of my mouth one day.

Liu Che's answer was even more absolute: "There are two ways, one is to sit in the well and wait for death, and the other is to shout for help." ”

Just do it, tear open your throat and shout: "Save ......" Fortunately, I sensed it accurately and raised my hand to block his mouth.

"Are you crazy?" I was horrified.

Liu Che remained motionless until I thought it was safe before putting my hand down.

"Trapped here, there is only one death, falling into their hands, and maybe there is a glimmer of life. Liu Che said.

I snorted coldly and said, "He will definitely let us live, and he will let us live longer, because he will torture us by all means, and when the time comes, we will die a slow and miserable death." ”

I know very well how strong Liu Chengbi's hatred for us is, otherwise he wouldn't have done another "fall into the well" after he couldn't find it, and he wouldn't even leave us a chance "just in case".

Liu Che smiled and said, "No, I won't." ”

"How did he deal with me, as if I had just told His Majesty......" Liu Chengbi's words are still in my ears, he will rape me first and then kill him to avenge his father, how can I forget this?

Liu Che said firmly: "I am a man, I know a man's heart, and my mouth is hard and my heart is weak." He said it harshly, but it was just to hide the fear in his heart. ”

"Fear?" I don't understand.

"If you like your father-killing enemy, how can you not be afraid?" Liu Che sneered.

I've learned that as long as such a sensitive issue is mentioned, the smartest way is to pretend to be ignorant and ignorant, pretend to be an idiot, and not say a word.

Feeling his chest sinking together, it seemed to be brewing sourness, and finally he couldn't help but say: "Liu Dan, Liu Dan, how fortunate you are to be loved by several men at the same time, and how unfortunate you are to be loved by several men at the same time." ”

"Shhhh......h "There seems to be a voice. "Actually, there was no movement at all.

Liu Che really closed his mouth, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, of course he couldn't hear anything after listening for a long time, but he didn't say anything about those crooked things.

There was silence again, and after a while, a glimmer of light shone through the hole in the stone, and the sky brightened.

"What is this stone?" Liu Che looked up at me for a long time and asked me.

"Don't you know?" I said lazily. Liu An has no other skills, but invented something that has benefited Chinese a lot. ”

"What?" Liu Che asked curiously.

"Tofu. It seems to be called Rong Shu, and this big stone is used for grinding tofu. ”

"Oh, a few months ago, the king of Huainan presented this thing to me, saying that he was studying food at home and got it by chance. I've tasted it, and it's delicious. ”

I scoffed: "What kind of delving into food, that's the by-product of what he asked his subordinates to refine in order to be immortal." So from this point, it can be seen that this guy has long been disobedient. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Immortality has been the emperor's exclusive hobby since ancient times, and he is a little king who also wants to live forever, and it goes without saying what he wants to do. "For immortals, immortals, there is an unusual enthusiasm, probably because of the special love of their old Liu family.

"Makes sense...... But what does the Emperor's exclusive hobby mean?" he heard what I was saying.

I said solemnly: "That means that immortality is a huge luxury and politically sensitive project, ordinary people don't even think about it, even if they want to do it, they can't afford it, even if they can afford it, they don't dare to do it, they want to get it and dare to do it, except for the emperor's family, there is no semicolon in the world." Therefore, immortality is the exclusive hobby of the emperor. But your Majesty, don't have such a stupid hobby. ”

I am purely kind to remind him, anyway, history has changed, maybe in addition to the flaw of seeking immortality, the image of Emperor Wu of Han will be more positive, and in the future, Princess Wei Chang will not be forced to marry a god stick because of her father's stupidity and make her life unhappy.

"Extremely stupid?" Liu Che repeated these four words quietly, as if these four words were more important than the four words "immortality". "What do you mean by saying that there is no immortality in this world?"

I knew I was wrong with this repetition. Just like Wei Xiaobao lied and had to take a pen to record it in the end so as not to lie too much, I should have recorded it for myself a long time ago, because I told no less lies than him, and even I forgot about myself for a long time.

For example: Xanadu!

In a hurry, I quickly remedied it and said, "Well, of course, it's not all stupid, after all, there is a paradise." But it's not absolute immortality, it's just slower than the outside. In short, in this world, there is no way for man to make himself immortal. After a pause, I pretended to be sad and said: "Alas, what's more, Hetian Yu is gone, and we are trapped here again, not to mention immortality, thank God for being able to get out alive." ”

Liu Che wrapped his arms around me and said firmly: "I am the Son of Heaven, and with the protection of the gods, I will not die easily, let alone die in such a dirty place. ”

"I hope so. "I'm not as blindly optimistic as he is. "But Your Majesty, are you really not afraid? We may not be able to get out, maybe we will starve to death here, are you not afraid of death?"

Liu Che was too calm, how could an emperor who pursued immortality not be afraid of death?

"Do you think I'm greedy for life and afraid of death?" Liu Che was displeased.

"Of course not......," I quickly brushed off. "It's just that Your Majesty, you're too calm. ”

Liu Cheyi smiled and said: "Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remains unchanged, and this emperor's technique is also." Without this determination, how can we control the ministers, how can we govern the country, and how can we rule the world?"

"So, are you afraid or not?"

"Afraid! Is there anyone in the world who is not afraid of death? However, I am more afraid of doing nothing and wasting my life than death. I want to make the Han Dynasty unprecedentedly strong, rich all over the world, and the people live in peace; I want to subdue the Xiongnu and never suffer from the Han troubles; I want to pacify the four sides and make the Yi come to the court; I want to achieve the foundation of the Han Dynasty for thousands of years, like the rising sun in the east and never sinking in the west; I also want to join you in stepping on this great river and mountain, climbing the mountain near the sea to seal the heavens and sacrifice to the earth, and enjoy the honor and wealth and never separate. "It's coming and going, and it's going to be on me.

"There are too many facts I want to do, and I should obey the will of the people under the mandate of heaven, how can I be extinguished before the great cause is completed?"

I nodded secretly, under normal circumstances, he was right, but the problem is that now everything has become abnormal, who knows that this well is not the burial place of a generation of emperors?

I looked at the well and sighed.

"Why sigh?"

"I feel sorry for you. "I was so depressed. "If it weren't for me, I wouldn't have caused you to suffer this sin. The dignified son of heaven, with great ambitions, is now in the pile of dead people pretending to be dead, and he is still trapped at the bottom of the well. If I really can't get out today, it will be difficult for me to apologize to the Chinese people even if I die 10,000 times. ”

If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dies, it will be difficult for the Han Dynasty not to die, then I will really become a demon queen who has brought disaster to the country and the people, and a sinner for eternity.

Liu Che hugged me and said gently: "Fool, it is my decision to go out of the palace to find you, who dares to stop me if I have the heart to do it? How can a monarch of a country, a dignified man, allow a woman to bear the responsibility for her crimes? If I really die here, I will write a bloody letter to justify your name for posterity. ”

As soon as my heart softened, my eyes became hot.

Think about the emperors who have misled the country because of women throughout the ages, but in the end, which one did not blame the woman for the crime and pretended to be innocent? At this time, he was still worried about my reputation and did not want me to bear the infamy of "red face and trouble". I really don't know what good Liu Dan is for him, but she has done so many things for Han Ting, as for feelings, in addition to lying and deceiving, it is perfunctory, and even the reason for rejecting him cannot be frank and sincere, for him personally, it is really useless, how can he be worthy of his true feelings?

The light shining through the hole in the middle of the stone mill became brighter and brighter, and I turned my head slightly to see Liu Che's solemn face, the twenty-six-year-old young emperor's eyes were firm and sharp, his chin and lips were oozing green and miserable beard, and his eyebrows looked like the vicissitudes of thirty-six years old. Since he succeeded to the throne at the age of sixteen, everything that happened to him in the past ten years can be described as earth-shattering, those intrigues and deceits, far from a teenager or twenties should be responsible, but as an emperor, he must bear it, must face it, whether he himself wants to or not, even if he is born to be the emperor's material and enjoys it, there are always times when he is tired.

His maturity and decisiveness beyond his peers were accumulated by innumerable, admirable, but also pitiful......

Liu Che's eyes fell on me, frowned slightly, raised his hand to "hiss" from the coat on his body, tore off a strip of cloth, bandaged my injured head, and bandaged it very carefully.

How did he know that this little injury was nothing to me. I bowed my head and let him go, my heart was sour and warm: "Why are you so good to me? I am not a beautiful woman who has a bad temper and does not know how to lift, why are you so good to me?"

Thinking in his heart, he talked about the matter: "Your Majesty, do you guess what purpose they have for hiding the corpse?"

Liu Che tied the knot and said, "They want to stay and continue to look for us, so they have to dispose of the corpse, otherwise they will cause trouble if they are discovered." ”

He thinks exactly what I do.

"That's bad. I said. "If that's the case, sooner or later they'll think of the bottom of the well, and when the time comes, they'll search the whole town again, and you and I won't be able to fly. ”

"So before they think of it, let's think about it. With that, Liu Che stood up, stood on top of the corpse, carefully looked at the slippery well wall, measured the height of the wellhead, and then said, "Try it." The circular diameter of this well is about two to three meters, Liu Che has long hands and long feet, both hands buttresses against the wall and snorts and his legs jump up hard, the whole person is X-shaped, supported on the wall of the well, can hold less than three seconds, "squeak" slid down.

I smiled bitterly, if Yan Qixing was changed, this matter would not be a problem at all, although Liu Che had some kung fu, but it was too superficial to compare with Yan Qixing.

Alas, I don't know anything like "Tiyun Zong" and "Opening Monuments and Cracking Stones", otherwise there may be hope for on-site teaching.

"It's not going to work. I said. struggled to get up, but couldn't do it, so I had to sit back. "Even if you can go up, the stone is so heavy that it can't be pushed away. ”

Liu Che said: "But there is a glimmer of life, and you have to try." ”

I sighed helplessly: "If I am good and combine the strength of the two of us, maybe it is still possible." Liu Chengbi, a bastard, was all harmed by him. By the way, he cursed.

"There must be a way. Liu Che looked at the stone mill on the well and muttered.

I thought about it a hundred times, and the result was - no way!

Unless we're lucky enough for helpers from outside, and unless I'm suddenly miraculously restored, there's still a little hope. But neither is possible, so there is no way at all.

Liu Che didn't give up, he took out a short knife from his arms, and with the light penetrating through the stone hole, I said "Huh", the shape of the knife was exactly the same as my Swiss short knife.

Liu Che said: "It's according to your artifice." ”

With enough wrist strength, he inserted the short knife into the stone crack in the wall of the well. I took out my own one and handed it to him, maybe he might have figured it out.

The two knives inserted in the wall of the well became a ladder, Liu Che stood on the handle of the knife, his hands and feet could reach the stone mill, he held the stone mill with both hands and luck, and he went all out, but the stone mill did not move;

"How's it going, is there any injury?" I crawled over with concern.

"Nope. Liu Che sat up angrily, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, which was swollen with a large bag, probably hitting the wall of the well when he fell.

I subconsciously touched my head, the same headbag, sure enough, it was sympathy. Unfortunately, I didn't have the strength to tear off my own shirt and bandage him.

Liu Che was not convinced, pulled out some of the broken short knife, and wanted to try again. I dissuaded: "Forget it, you can't do it alone, it's better to save some effort and think of other ways." ”

Liu Che's stubborn temper came up, and he was very unpersuaded, he tried two and three times, but the short knife was not broken again, but unfortunately the stone grinding on the top could not be pushed at all. I had to jump down and sit next to me to catch my breath. Because of frustration, the two of them didn't speak for a long time.

Finally, I broke the silence and said, "Although I am very touched by your sleepless rush to see me, I still have to say that Your Majesty is really too impulsive this time. They have made the battle so big, if they can't find us, I'm afraid that they will openly rebel next. Even if we can get out, we will only be greeted by a more serious situation. ”

Liu Che exhaled a breath and said: "Early reversal is also anti, late reversal is also anti, since you have different aspirations, sooner or later it will be the same." ”

After thinking about it, he asked me, "Which is faster or shorter?"

I said, "That's not easy to say. Logically speaking, the conditions here are so backward, the equipment and tools are all problems, and it is almost impossible to make guns, but in fact they did succeed. If they really mastered the whole process, they would have made a gun faster than a crossbow, because the wood required for the bow had to go through the drying process, which extended the construction period. Luckily, we have a lot of dried wood in our arsenal, so it's pretty much the same. ”

Hearing my words, Liu Che turned his head sideways and glared at me fiercely, I shrunk my head and muttered, "That's what it was." ”

I said that the conditions here were backward, which hurt the self-esteem of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che digested my reply and said, "They got the method of making guns last winter, how many guns can be made in just a few months?"

"It depends on their strength. Alloy raw materials, cutting, making gunpowder, technology, it is easy to make a gun, but it is much more complicated to manufacture it in batches, and the specific situation is not clear, so it is really difficult to calculate. ”

"What are you talking about?" Liu Che raised his eyebrows in the face of a term he had never heard before.

"An alloy is a substance composed of one metal and one or more other metal or non-metal, such as a mixture of iron and steel, a mixture of gold and silver. Gunpowder is a mixture composed of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, which can burn quickly and explode. It sounds complicated, but it's actually the material necessary to make a firearm. He took out the swarthy iron guy from his bosom and handed it to him. "The casing of this gun is completely made of iron. The metallurgical industry in the Han Dynasty was very developed, which was undoubtedly a favorable condition. By the way, as far as Your Majesty can see, how many guns are there among them this time?"

Liu Che thought about it for a while and said, "There are about three or dozens of them. Compared to bows and arrows, it is indeed fast and accurate. ”

I pondered: "To deal with the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, I only brought more than thirty of them, and it seems that they don't have a lot of inventory. Ah, strange, when the preparation is not sufficient, why do you act in such a hurry? Wait for two or three years to start after the wings are full, isn't the chance of winning greater? Even if Liu An has no brains, Liu Chengbi and the mysterious Danxin Qi master are not simple characters, so they should be more cautious about such a big matter...... I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out. ”

Liu Che said: "The matter is big, and it's not too late for us to go up and discuss it." ”

For the rest of the day, we began to figure out how to imagine the plots of those martial arts novels, or some undiscovered secret passages in this well leading to the outside, but unfortunately there were no such dramatic miracles in reality. Even the corpses of the villagers who were innocently killed by us were used, but they still couldn't get out.

At first, there was some footsteps outside, but at night, it was silent.

Although it was summer, the cold of the well water was getting heavier and heavier, and at night, we had to hug each other to resist the cold. But because of this, the corpses at the bottom of the well will not decompose so quickly, but our situation will not be worse.

After a day and two nights of tossing, my physical strength was seriously overdrawn, but the most unbearable thing was the taste of hunger, followed by stomach pain, and then the feeling of powerlessness invaded every part of the body little by little.

On the third day of being trapped at the bottom of the well, there was no movement at all, and I wondered if they had spread and withdrawn their troops, and I also thought about shouting a few voices to find someone to help, but I was worried that there were still their people, and I was killing myself, so I gave up.

Hungry, we finally began to drink the well water soaked in corpses, without regard for human dignity, hygiene, or psychological reactions. But the strange thing is that the more you drink, the more hungry you become, and the body seems to become a bottomless pit, empty and painfully empty, but the stomach is uncomfortably swollen. The most embarrassing thing is the physiological problem, if you drink too much water, you have to solve the problem of body excrement, at this time people's shame has fallen to the bottom, only instinct remains, whether it is the emperor or a woman. Liu Che is a man, and he can also do this against the dark hole in the wall of the well, I am miserable, I can only solve it on the spot, and finally this well bottom is a well with three purposes, a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.

So the question arises again, after making a bathroom, can this well water still be drunk?

I don't want to drink, and Liu Che even refuses to drink, so will it be possible to be rescued if I die here? This is no longer a question, the question now is, how to survive another hour? How to survive another day?

"Your Majesty?"

On the morning of the fourth day, the sunlight was shining silently on us through the pores, and I called weakly, but there was no response. I gave it a nudge, but it didn't respond. It turned out that he was faint from hunger.

With the last of my strength, I slashed my wrist with a short knife, which was delivered to his mouth, and at the same time struck his skull with the hilt.

Liu Che moved, still dazed, instinctively sucking like a baby, after tasting the taste of blood, he suddenly came to his senses: "What are you doing?"

I pulled my dry lips and squeezed out a smile and said, "According to scientific research, women's vitality is stronger than men's, and women can live for seven days or more without eating or drinking, while men only have five days." ”

Liu Che stared blankly at the blood on my wrist, the blood was red and flowing slowly. I hurriedly said, "Hey, hurry up and drink, don't waste it." ”

Liu Che took the short knife in my hand, cut off the sleeve of his shirt, and pierced the bleeding wound.

"What is the fear of death?" he said, his face haggard, but his expression was extremely calm. "It is my great fortune to die with you. ”

"I don't want to die. I gasped. I haven't seen my husband for the last time, how can I be willing to die.

"Actually, there is a way to survive. ”

"I don't have to say more. Liu Che knew what I wanted to say and resolutely refused.

What other way can there be, it is nothing more than drinking well water and eating carrion. But not to mention the emperor of a country, even if it is me, I can't do it at all, let alone the corpses of innocent villagers who were killed by us, that has exceeded the bottom line of human nature as a human being.

"Just like that, I'm not reconciled. "I was dizzy, like a little match girl, and a roast goose appeared in front of me, fragrant and oily.

Licking my tongue, my dry throat was smoking, there was no saliva to swallow, I sighed and closed my eyes and muttered to myself: "It's better to die than to live, although it is mixed with urine, the water is not undrinkable, in the desert, people are so thirsty that they even drink camel urine and horse urine, why can't we drink it? ”

As he spoke, he bravely copied a handful of well water and held it to his mouth, the strange smell made me frown, and finally my body gave in to my brain, and I dejectedly drained the "water" that came to my mouth.

As if I was a mirror in my heart, there would always be a time when I couldn't hold it anymore, and sooner or later this "water" mixed with blood and urine would enter my stomach to save my life and save his life.

glanced at Liu Che and met his strange eyes.

"Don't look at me like that, it makes me feel inferior. ”

Liu Che said: "You are the noblest woman I have ever seen. ”

"Hmm. "I am not ashamed to agree.

"Sometimes pure and clear, sometimes cunning and wise, sometimes tender like water, sometimes cold as frost. Courageous and knowledgeable, affectionate and righteous, not afraid of power, not afraid of life and death, repaying with others with courage and faithfulness in seeking affairs with the country. It is as clear as a flower, but there is a man's heart...... "Liu Che leaned against the wall, holding me in his arms, counting the benefits of someone, with a strange smile on his face. It is like remembrance, and it is like longing.

The filial son cuts the meat and feeds the father, I bleed to save the king, where can I find such a good person in the world? But no matter how good it is, it will not be like Liu Che said, it is really an exaggeration, and if I am as cheeky as I am, it is inevitable that I will be a little unbearable.

"Losing a Liu Dan, although he is the supreme in the world, what does it mean?" Maybe he felt the last time, and the words in his heart that he couldn't usually say or couldn't export, Liu Che said it all without any scruples. "I like you, wealth, power, honor and majesty, and even the world, I am willing to give it all to you, why don't you accept it?"

I whispered: "Your Majesty's heart is filled with the world, which is too big for me, and my heart is very small, and I can't fit a man with the world in my heart." ”

Liu Che was stunned and asked, "If I wasn't the emperor, what would you do?"

Without hesitation, I said, "I'm going to love you!"

Added: "You are a talented person, outstanding character, cool and handsome, it's hard to dislike it." ”

This is not a lie, imagine that if he is not the emperor, and I know him first, it is natural for the relationship to continue to fall in love for a long time.

It is estimated that Liu Che was too lazy to ask the meaning of advanced buzzwords such as "cool and handsome", and he only asked what he was interested in: "What about Yan Qixing?"

I sighed faintly: "I knew you first, if I like you, how can there be Yan Qixing?"

Silence again......

Time passes little by little, and every second that passes, only increases the pain of hunger. We finally found that we could barely take it anymore without speaking to divert our attention. It's really going to lose your mind and do what only animals do.

So we started talking, although we had no strength, although we were so thirsty, we kept talking, the world, the north and the sea, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, astronomy and geography, literature and poetry. Coupled with the fun and order, another day was spent like this.

Day 5......

Liu Che began to pull his neck and shout: "Someone, I am the son of the Han Dynasty, is there anyone?"

In the closed well, the sound shook people's ears "Weng".

Naturally, there was no response from above. They should have left.

I don't know if it's because of the Gu Formation, I found that my resistance was far less than before, and even worse than before the crossing. When the devil was trained in the organization, there was a record of not taking water and rice for seven days. But now, in just five days, I've stepped into the door of death.

"Stop shouting. I shouted, thinking that my voice was loud, but it was nothing more than a weak moan, and after exerting my strength, my eyes suddenly fainted, and the darkness instantly overwhelmed me.

I fainted and woke up, feeling that my lips were salty, and Liu Che was following my example to cut my wrists to take blood.

"Give me water. I didn't even have the strength to push his hand away, so I could only beg him in a voice that couldn't be smaller.

Liu Che didn't seem to hear it, and said, "Drink quickly, don't waste it." ”

Blood flowed down my wrists, and instinct drove me to suck a few sips, then I closed my chapped lips and said nothing more.

This is enough, the friendship and affection of the kings and ministers are good for anything, and the affection for each other in danger alone is more precious than anything else.

Suddenly there is a trace of regret, if only he were Yan Qixing, it would be the most beautiful end to our love across time and space.

However, fortunately, he is not Yan Qixing, I hope he lives well, so that after I die, there will be at least one person in this world who will miss me, otherwise wouldn't it be too pitiful?

"Don't miss him. Liu Che held his wrist and said indistinctly.

"I'm going to die. I reminded him groggily.

"We're not going to die. Liu Che emphasized again.

He really has faith in his identity as a "son of heaven", and his spirit is much better than mine, strange!

But why did he hold his wrist and not let go?

I couldn't concentrate very much, and a question popped up and made my mind clear for a while.

"Your Majesty, I want to ask you something. "That's a question that has been haunting my mind. "That Hetian jade, the one that was broken in the Huns, is it real?"

Liu Che was obviously stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

"Your Majesty, I'm dying, can't you fulfill this last wish?" I coughed violently before I could breathe.

Liu Che hurriedly reached out and patted me on the back to help me.

It was easy to stop coughing, and most of my vitality was gone.

"Fake. Liu Che said.

I didn't get it.

"The piece given to the Hun boy is fake, and the real jade is in my hands. ”

I had doubts before, but in my heart I was inclined to another possibility. Liu Che's words were undoubtedly a thunderclap, and my heart collapsed with a "bang", and I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.

Liu Che's face was as usual and said without shame: "When Yan Qixing presented the jade to me, I didn't care at first, how did I know that you actually entered Chang'an to run a martial arts hall for this jade, and I knew that this jade must be of great importance to you, so I imitated the product for later use." After you entered the court as an official, I also intended to return the jade to you, but I learned the secret of the paradise from you. I am afraid that you will never return after you get the jade, so I lied to give the jade to a young man of the Huns. In fact, it was given to the young man as a gift, and the real Hetian jade was still in my hands. ”

I smiled bitterly and had nothing to say. A piece of Hetian jade rewrites my fate, this has long been my cognition.

Liu Che continued: "I originally planned to wait until the Xiongnu were pacified, and the heirs would succeed, so I would join hands with you in Taoyuan, but I didn't know that you were the first to envoy the Xiongnu, and then there was the Red Butterfly incident of your son-in-law, and then you didn't say goodbye, and Yan Qixing went away to the end of the world, which made me feel helpless." Fortunately, God lives up to me, and I will meet you again today......"

He suddenly stopped talking. Also, although he saw me, he also pushed the two of us into a desperate situation, and no one can say whether the sky is responsible for him or not.

God, do you really want me to die here? Then let me die, please don't let Liu Che die, please sort out the chaotic order, and let history return to its proper place. God, oh God!

Liu Che shook my hand, after all, there was some apology. I forced my spirit and said, "Forget it, it's like this anyway, it doesn't matter if it's true or not." But you promise me that if you get away with it this time, give me back that piece of jade. ”

Saying this is just to comfort him and erase that trace of guilt, and at this point, I really can't think of how to escape.

Liu Che took it seriously, and agreed: "Okay, but I have one condition." ”

"When are you still talking about conditions? "I complained, am I hungry abnormally?

Liu Che said: "If you can go from death to life this time, I will return Hetian Yu completely, and you will promise me to be my queen!"

"Whatever. "I didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and sleepiness came like a tidal wave.

"Liu Dan has always made a promise, and since he has made a contract, he cannot go back. Liu Che's voice became more and more blurred.

What is the agreement? I struggled with my thoughts, and my consciousness gradually tended to be free.

After that, the bottom of the well returned to silence.

I don't know how long I slept and was awakened by a strange noise. When he opened his eyes, Liu Che had already stood up and listened attentively.

The sound came from the ground above, the footsteps of people, not just one person, but many.

Who is Liu Chengbi?

While he was guessing, Liu Che suddenly shouted: "I am the son of the Han Dynasty, come and save me!"

I stared at him blankly, neither powerless nor willing to stop him, and it was better to be stabbed by a knife than to starve to death.

Footsteps were scrambled, and someone was moving the stone mill.

Suddenly, the sun was shining, and in the bright light, I faintly saw people leaning up and looking down, it was a group of people - the Han regular army!
