Zhen Ming bitterly pried open the sealed wine jar, and the aroma of wine overflowed.

Li Jing, who smelled the aroma of wine, tried his best to raise his head and glanced at the person sitting in front of him, his originally gray and gloomy eyes suddenly burst into a burst of light, and he tried to take a deep breath, "Cuifeng Building's twenty-year-old daughter is red!" Wine! ”

Finally sat up, supported his bruised body, crawled to the opposite side of Zhen Mingku, and sat down, the heavy iron chain dragged on the ground, making a clattering sound.

It seems that in order to prevent him from escaping, the jailer in the prison almost tied two hundred catties of chains to his body, Rao is strong and strong, and it is difficult to break free in the face of such a heavy chain.

Only then did Zhen Mingku see the wounds on his body clearly, there were black bruises knocked out by blunt objects, long wounds cut by knives, wounds burned by red-hot iron, and the most deadly thing was that two iron hooks passed through his shoulder blades and locked him up.

If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would have fainted to death in pain by this time, and it is rare that he can still crawl on his own.

Li Jing trembled his hands, picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, his bloodstained face showed a satisfied and comfortable look, and Zhen Ming poured a full glass of wine into the cup in front of him.

He picked it up casually and poured it on the arm of his arm that had begun to rot and chew worms, seeing that Zhen Mingku, a person who had been tortured these times, couldn't help but stand on end, but he looked like nothing happened, watching the insects at the wound drown in the wine, as if he had regained some strength, and laughed: "I told you a long time ago, uncle, my meat is not so delicious!" …… Brother Zhen, why are you here? ”

Zhen Ming bitterly kidnapped Zhang's family, and he told Li Jing about chasing him to Chang'an.

"Chang'an is Brother Li's land, I wanted to ask you for help to inquire about the whereabouts of those who caught the goose, how do you know...... Brother Li, what's going on? ”

Li Jing ate a full meal first, and then talked about what happened since Nanyang returned to Chang'an.

It turned out that after returning to Chang'an from Nanyang, Li Xiaogong immediately impeached Li Yuan for Li Jing and Zhen Mingku's cooperation in Nanyang, so that Nanyang became a neutral force, Li Yuan had an old hatred for Li Jing, when he was in Mayi, Li Jing noticed that Li Yuan had the intention of rebellion, so he did not hesitate to go out of Mayi, avoiding the people sent by the Li family to chase and kill, and went to Beijing to Chang'an to complain, but finally arrived in Chang'an, but Yang Guang was killed, the world was in chaos, and Li Jing could not get the appointment of the Chang'an royal family, but was appointed as a small water envoy, Depressed.

When Li Yuan attacked Chang'an, Li Jing also led the army to intercept Li Yuan by water, after the city was broken, Li Yuan caught him, when it was time to employ people, Li Jing was a rare pickle, in order to show the enlightened generosity of the past, stabilize the old Sui soldiers in the city, Li Yuan pretended to let him go, and sent him to attack Nanyang with Li Xiaogong, and then it happened with Zhen Mingku to join forces to break Zhu Cang.

Now that Chang'an has decided, there is no need for others to rebel, coupled with Li Xiaogong's impeachment of Li Jing not long ago, Li Yuan's new hatred and old hatred surged into his heart, and he immediately ordered someone to take down Li Jing and torture him, but how could he ask for any evidence of rebellion and defection to the enemy, and in a fit of anger, he casually set up a charge of killing his head and ordered him to be executed, and he was to be executed in two days.

Li Jing said and smiled bitterly: "It's only to blame that I treat the Li family's father and son too much as gentlemen, and I don't care about the consequences when I talk and do things, which arouses suspicion, and now I am worthless to die, and I am really unwilling." ”

"You're not going to die." Zhen Mingbitter put down the wine glass and said lightly.

Li Jing was shocked when he heard this, and a glimmer of hope surged in his eyes: "What does Brother Zhen mean?" ”

"If the chaos has become a mess today, in the next ten or even twenty years, it will be difficult for the world to be peaceful, with Brother Li, your martial arts and talents, you will definitely be able to make a difference in this troubled era, if you die on the guillotine inexplicably like this, wouldn't it be a pity."

Li Jing stared at him without saying a word, waiting for him to say what to say.

Zhen Ming said with a wry smile: "I think that the father and son of the Li family may not easily kill a general who has made military achievements, otherwise they will be criticized for personal vendetta and cruelty to the virtuous, and the hearts of the soldiers will be cold, and they will lose more than they gain, if they are smart people, as long as Brother Li wakes them up a little, they will not dare to really kill you, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if they are bent on killing Brother Li, as long as Brother Li has the heart to live, I also have something to save your life." ”

Li Jing was stunned when he heard this, he didn't care if Zhen Mingku would think that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, in fact, he really didn't want to die yet, especially after the conversation with Zhen Mingku, a glimmer of hope surged in his heart, and he hurriedly asked: "Brother is there any way to save Li's life, please let me know." ”

Zhen Mingku took out a small cylinder from his arms and stuffed it into his hand, "This is the secret weapon of my secret guard, in the future, the Li family will definitely rely on Brother Li for this, if Brother Li wants to assemble the army, only a sniper team of 3,000 people can make you invincible." ”

Li Jing took the small cylinder in his hand, looked at it, and soon found its peculiarity, and when he got closer, he could see a small crack in the wall ten meters away, and he couldn't help but show horror on his face: "This is ......."

"This thing is called a telescope, marching and fighting, the use is so great, it's unimaginable, but the production method, except for me and Shuo Fang's Liang Shidu, no third person knows, Brother Li only needs to dedicate the production method of this telescope to Li Yuan, if Li Yuan is not a fool, he should know the use of this thing, and he will definitely not kill you."

Li Jing couldn't put it down more and more, and praised it in his mouth: "There is such a magical thing in the world, only one person needs to stand on a high place, the enemy's every move is under control, and half of this battle is won without fighting, no wonder the Dark Guard can make the Turkic cavalry flee!" …… When I was in Nanyang, the little brother named Pei Xingyan in your army used this kind of goggles to monitor every move in our army, right? ”

Zhen Ming smiled bitterly and nodded.

At this time, a jailer came to urge Zhen Mingku to leave quickly.

Zhen Mingku stood up and said slowly: "The whereabouts of the goose goose are unknown now, I am afraid that she will have something to do, and she can't stay in Chang'an longer, I have to find her before Xue Rengao takes her into Lanzhou City, otherwise it will be difficult, as long as Brother Li you do what I say, I will be able to keep you safe and sound, and when I rescue the goose, I will come to Chang'an to meet with Brother Li and drink bitterly." ”

"Brother Zhen, don't say anything superfluous, it's all in the wine!"

The two raised their glasses, "! ”

……

Coming out of Chang'an Prison, Zhen Ming suffered for a while, went to the gate of Chang'an Palace, showed Yang Dong's secret decree, and after the guards passed it on, he invited him into the palace.

He was met by a young emperor who was about the same age as Yang Tong and had a somewhat similar appearance, Zhen Ming guessed that this was the puppet supported by the Li family, Emperor Gong Yang Yu, and next to him stood a middle-aged man in his forties, handsome and extraordinary.

When Zhen Mingku saw this middle-aged man, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, isn't this the old man Li who used to drink and talk to the Zhang family when he was in Luoyang before, and who could he be the old man who spent a lot of money for the Zhang family?
