Chapter 984: Back then
Walking out of the theater, Liu Xie stood alone at the door, and he glanced back at the plaque with the word 'theater'.
He looked lonely and looked extremely lonely.
"Let's go."
After a long time, Liu Xie sighed, only to feel that the sky and the earth were muddy, and there was no color.
Not long after the Son of Heaven left, the servant came again to report that the little lady from the General's Mansion had arrived.
The so-called little lady refers to the general's favorite concubine with a charming appearance, Diao Chan.
Originally, Diao Chan married into the Lu Mansion as a concubine, and she deserved the title of 'lady'. It's just that Lu Bu has only one wife and one concubine so far, and he was particularly favored before, so when outsiders call Diao Chan, they mostly refer to him as 'little lady' to show respect.
Hearing Diao Chan coming, Xi Ce's brows furrowed slightly.
It stands to reason that Diao Chan is the general's favorite concubine and has nothing to do with him.
Now that the general is fighting outside, Diao Chan comes to see the trick, which is unreasonable.
Before, Diao Chan secretly reported to Wang Yun, and he knew about this matter, so he also used this to sell Wang Yun a lot of fake information.
Come and don't go!
For this general's favorite concubine, Xi Ce has only met a few times. But every time they meet, Xi Ce can always notice that when Diao Chan looks at him, his eyes are always mixed with an inexplicable look.
At first, Xi Ce thought that Wang Yun wanted to use Diao Chan to play a beauty trick, to separate him and the general, and then take advantage of the situation to seize power.
As a result, after a long investigation, it was not a joke.
Now that Wang Yun is in prison, should his righteous daughter also be taken into prison?
Can......
She is, after all, a general's woman.
In this matter, Xi Ce pondered for a long time, and finally decided to wait and see for a while. If Diao Chan makes a move, he will not be soft on the strategy, even if he risks being separated from the general, he will not hesitate to do so.
Because, his time is short.
Now Diao Chan came to the door in person, and Xi Ce expected that she was here to intercede for Wang Yun, but she did not block her from the door as before.
Within a short while, a beautiful woman with her hair in a bun slowly walked into the courtroom.
I saw her wearing a cherry-red pinched plum sleeve gauze shirt, a skirt of amber floral embroidery that dragged the floor, and she was wearing piping and a bixialuo. Waterfall-like black hair, chic auspicious cloud bun on the head, lightly and slowly swaying the cloud sideburns with begonia wings and jade luan, wearing an emerald green jade bracelet on the hand with skin like clotted fat, a light red buckle Ruyi pile embroidered purse hanging on the peacock pattern waist, and plain white auspicious cloud embroidered shoes on the feet, gently moving the lotus step, the whole person is extremely beautiful.
Before coming to Xi Ce, Diao Chan saluted very politely: "The concubine has seen Mr." ”
The joke in the wheelchair returned the salute, and then asked, "Why did Madame come?" ”
Diao Chan didn't think much about it, and said directly to Xi Ce: "The concubine came here today to beg Mr. to open up and spare my father's life." ”
The father in her mouth naturally refers to Wang Yun.
"Madam, I think the general should have told you before that women are not allowed to interfere in political affairs." Xi Ce said lightly, even if Diao Chan came to intercede, he still had no idea of keeping his hand.
"But he's my father!"
Seeing that the joke was unwilling, Diao Chan's tone increased a little, and he became a little excited: "Even if I am not my own, my father-in-law has nurtured and cultivated me for many years!" The concubine is not very well read, unlike Mr. who is very knowledgeable and can rule the country and level the world with the whole family, but the truth of filial piety is the first, and the concubine also understands it. ”
"So, you came to the General's Mansion to be an undercover agent?"
Xi Ce didn't look at her, but just asked rhetorically, not lightly.
Diao Chan's heart trembled when she heard this, and she couldn't help but stumble back half a step under her feet, but fortunately, she stabilized her mind in time and barely stood firm.
"What did you say, sir? The concubine doesn't understand what you mean. ”
Diao Chan tugged at the corners of his mouth and showed a rather embarrassed smile, trying to hide the panic in his heart.
Diao Chan didn't want to admit it, and she didn't force her, so she said indifferently: "Little lady, go back to the house." If you really want to do your filial piety for Wang Yun, then burn more paper money when he is in the first seventh. ”
Diao Chan heard the meaning of the joke, that is, he refused to let go of Wang Yun.
"Sir, my father is very old, and he can not stand the sentence of prison. Now, he has nothing left and no longer poses any threat to his husband. Raise your noble hand and let him go. ”
"Even if you send him to the frontier, the concubine only asks you to spare his life."
Diao Chan pleaded bitterly.
Even so, Xi Ce still didn't nod, and there was no room for negotiation in this matter.
Wang Yun is an extremely cunning old ghost, and he even almost deceived the trick at the beginning. If he is released, even if he only survives for a day, he will be an invisible bomb that will explode at any moment.
Xi Ce knew that his time was short, and he would definitely not leave anything that was risky to the general in this world.
"My father-in-law has nurtured me, and if you don't agree today, I will die here!"
In an instant, Diao Chan pulled out the sharp dagger that had been prepared long ago from his sleeve robe, and put his backhand around his neck, wanting to threaten him with death.
She thought that no matter what the trick was, she should also take care of her own life.
After all, she is Lu Bu's woman!
clinker, Xice didn't even look at it, so he asked Hu Che'er to push him back to the room to rest.
At the end, only one sentence was dropped: please take care of yourself.
Xi Ce was so hard-hearted, Diao Chan couldn't kill herself after all, she sat on the ground weakly, and shouted at the back of the wheelchair, with an indescribable disappointment and discomfort between her words: "Xi Ce, how can you be so cold-blooded!" ”
Many years ago, next to a house trampled and destroyed by the Xianbei people, there was a little girl with unkempt hair, with a thin body, who picked up half a piece of dry hard dough from nowhere, hid aside and quietly nibbled on it.
However, the bread seemed to be too hard, and the little girl took several bites in succession, but she could not eat it.
Maybe I've been hungry for a long time, and my stomach is growling.
The little girl held the bread in her hand, but she couldn't eat it, so she had to squat on the ground and bury her head between her knees.
At that moment a mild-looking young man sat down beside the girl and handed her a hot pancake.
The little girl was probably hungry, and she couldn't care about anything else, so she grabbed the bread and stuffed it into her mouth.
The young man was afraid that she would choke, so he reached out and patted the little girl's back, smiling gently: "Little girl, what's your name?" ”
"Me?"
The little girl was stunned for a moment, and then said innocently: "My name is Xiu'er." ”
Time flies.
The little girl has gone through ups and downs and finally grows up.
It's just that the two of them can no longer sit side by side like they did back then.
Diao Chan was grateful in her heart, but over the years, she had never told Xi Ce that she was the little girl who received his kindness back then.
Just like the joke, I have long forgotten the past.
It's just that the little girl is a passerby.

(Thank you for the rewards, the first meeting of the joke and Diao Chan, can be seen in Chapter 39 of this book...... )
