After staying in Yecheng Pavilion for eight days, the ninth emperor Fu Li was taken to Sikong Mansion and met Sikong Yuan Shao.

At this moment, in the inner courtyard of the palace, which was less than a hundred steps away from Sikong Mansion, in a room in the west side hall, Li Zhi, who was wearing a black cloak, sat on the ground, drinking himself for a long time.

After a while, half of the jar of wine was drunk, and with a soft "creak" of the door, a white-faced bearded man flashed into the room, and poked his head out to look out of the door, and after making sure that no one had noticed, he quickly closed the door.

Immediately, he leaned against the door and gently patted his chest and sighed: "Whew! It's too dangerous, the commander had better leave early, otherwise sooner or later he will be discovered by the Praetorian guards! ”

"Leave?" Li Zhi groaned, and casually lifted the black veil at the front of the cloak, revealing a cold face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his face was full of disdain.

Raising his hand to signal the man to step forward and sit down, Li Zhi said indifferently: "Wait for a while, I don't need you to urge, I will also leave, and I don't want to stay here for a moment." But for now, it's not up to me to decide whether to leave or stay, it's up to you when you get things done, and then I'll take you out of here. It's as simple as that, and that's what I'm here for. ”

When the man heard this, his white cheeks, like a woman, showed a look of struggle and melancholy, and he cried and begged in a low voice: "Please don't force me, the old slave has served him for more than ten years, how can I harm him?" Besides, he treats me as a father, and I am still a child who has not yet reached the crown, how can the old slave kill his own child with his own hands? "Anyway. Li Zhi's expression was blank, his face was calm, and he seemed to be indifferent.

The white-faced man had a bitter face. His eyes were extremely lonely, and he continued to plead: "The old slave knows that the commander is also from a poor background, and he has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world since he was a child, and he has been bullied. He lost his mother when he was a child, and it was the old slave who raised him single-handedly, and now it has been more than a dozen cold summers. I finally look forward to him growing up, but ?????? The commander wanted the old slave to end his life with his own hands, and the old slave couldn't bear it. How can you do it? ”

Li Zhi raised his eyes and looked at the man with a bitter face, and said softly: "It seems that what the lord said is right, you really have a good conscience, and it is worth a visit by Li in person." ”

"Huh? What does the Ruler mean by that? The old slave doesn't understand? The man was stunned. asked in a low voice.

Li Zhi said without thinking: "Before coming, my lord said that you have a good temperament, a good conscience, and you are not a traitor, so he ordered me to come to Yecheng to take you back, otherwise your life will not be guaranteed, and there will be no place to bury you." But there is a premise for this qiē, and that is that you have to do it well. Otherwise. Li is not here to save you, but to send you on the road with him. While talking. Li Zhi poured a glass of wine, and before the words fell, he raised the glass and drank it all, not a drop of it was sprinkled, and there was no wine stain at the corner of his mouth.

"This ??????" Seeing this, the man's face turned pale, his whole body trembled, and the two trembled and trembled differently, if it weren't for his hands grasping the table, he almost collapsed to the ground.

It took him a long time before he came back to his senses, looked at the expressionless Li Zhi with anxiety, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm down. After a while, he said luckily: "The old slave is not afraid of death, if the commander wants to take the life of the old slave, just do it." I just ask the commander to let him go, he is still a child, and he is seriously ill in bed right now, please ask the commander to show mercy to his subordinates and spare his life, okay? The old slave knelt down for the commander, begging the commander to raise his noble hand and let him go! With a short figure, the man knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Zhi in front of him again and again to beg for mercy.

Li Zhi's face did not change, and he squinted his eyes and looked down at the man on the ground without a beat, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, but it flashed, and the expression on his face did not change at all, still cold as ice, and he remained silent.

"You should know that this matter is irreparable, and no matter how much you plead with me, it is useless, because I cannot be the master. However, I would like to remind you that the mission entrusted by the Lord must be completed, and no one can disobey it, and you and I are no exception. ”

After speaking, Li Zhi sighed secretly, and said indifferently: "Actually, the lord didn't force you to do this, you originally had a lot of choices, or leave the palace and return to Lintao's hometown to be a rich man, or go to the General's Mansion to serve the lord or the princess, but unfortunately you gave up."

Actually, you don't need to explain too much, you should also know your situation, be able to guess your mission, and know what you want to do in the future. Over the years, you have cleaned up the eunuchs, attendants, maidservants and concubines in the palace five times, but you are always safe and sound. Even when General Li Wei deducted the money in the palace, your money was still inexhaustible. As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, now is the time for you to serve the lord. If you insist on refusing, General Ben will not embarrass you because you are the second lady's clansman, and he can spare your life. It's just that??? From now on, you will no longer be a member of the lord's command, your people and relatives will no longer enjoy any care, and all the property, fertile land and household assets in your name will be confiscated. In addition, there will be no more your name in the Dong clan, you will be a lonely ghost from now on, and no one in this world will know that there was once such a person as you in a hundred years. ”

"No ??????" The white-faced man screamed in despair, slumped on the ground, old tears flowing, lonely and helpless like a mourner.

Seeing this, Li Zhi didn't say anything more, casually took out some things from his sleeve pocket and put them on the table, and then took out a tightly wrapped black bag that was only the size of a walnut from his arms, and put it together with the things in his sleeve pocket.

After doing this, Li Zhi stood up, lifted the man from the ground with one hand and sat down, and after the man sat down tremblingly, he raised his eyes and saw a stack of things on the table.

"Ahh In the midst of his screams, he grabbed the golden golden lock of longevity placed on the table, and said with wide eyes and disbelief: "This ?????? Where did you get this golden lock? ”

Li Zhi seemed to have known that he would have such a question, and replied casually without thinking: "Where this golden lock came from, you should know better than me. It's a royal thing. Why did it appear in your hometown of Lintao, and it still hung around the neck of a thirteen-year-old boy. Oh no, he's fifteen years old, to be exact. In two years, I will be an adult. In fact, these things were already in my hands when you left Hangu Pass two years ago, when I entrusted Jia Xu to hand you a burden, I guess you won't forget it, right?

In the more than two months that you have followed Dong Cheng and others to drill into the forest, you should have realized the importance of this package of things; Neither a poisonous snake nor a beast will hurt you. Because the burden on your back has been soaked in a special liquid for half a year, and there is a special smell on it. You can't smell it yourself, but all animals can smell it and won't come near you. It's even less likely to hurt you. So neither you nor he were disturbed by poisonous snakes and beasts, but the other soldiers and officers were not so lucky, and more than fifty percent of your party were buried in the jungle. ”

Listening to Li Zhi's narration, the white-faced bearded man couldn't help but think of the night before he left Hangu Pass. Jia Xu found him. With a smile, he gave him a burden, and said with a smile: "The weather has been changeable recently, and the Zhongchang waiter is thin, and there are two changes of clothes in the baggage, and I hope that the Zhongchang waiter will take it with him in case of emergency." A little light salute is not a respect, please smile at the waiter. He didn't think much of it at the time, so he gladly accepted it. When he fled Loudiyuan the next day, he left his baggage in the camp. Unexpectedly, the accompanying soldiers brought it for him, and he has been carrying it on his back ever since.

It wasn't until he was in the jungle that he had time to open his baggage and check what was inside, and as Jia Xu had said, there were only two pieces of clothing and a thumb-sized piece of resinous incense. Two clothes, one is a brocade robe, the workmanship is very exquisite, it looks familiar, it seems familiar, but unfortunately the white-faced bearded man did not remember who sewed this dress at that time. The other is not a garment, but a piece of gold silk soft armor, which is extremely rare and a treasure that cannot be found. A small piece of incense is also extremely valuable, the fragrant fragrance is very rare, it seems to be extremely rare ambergris, it can expel mosquitoes, it can also smoke clothes, or apply it directly to the body.

In the end, only one of these three things fell on the white-faced beardless man, which he deliberately hidden, and that was the golden silk soft armor. He has always been wearing it closely, so he was not discovered by Liu Xie, and the brocade robe and incense were taken by Liu Xie as his own.

In the more than two months in the jungle, as Li Zhi said, he stumbled and walked in the jungle all day long with his burden, others were bitten by mosquitoes, many soldiers died after being bitten by poisonous snakes, and some people were even killed by fierce beasts in the middle of the night, but he had nothing to do.

There were no mosquito bites or poisonous snakes. There was even one time when he walked under the branch of a tree, and two poisonous snakes wrapped around the treetops suddenly fell from the tree and smashed on him, but they did not bite him, and then ran away in a puff of smoke. Besides, wherever he rested, there wasn't even an ant within five steps, let alone a mosquito.

Therefore, he was probably the most comfortable of the group's escapes, and apart from the hard work of the journey and the occasional starvation, he had little to worry about being bitten by poisonous snakes or attacked by wild beasts. Even with him, Liu Xie, who was with him, was also stained, and there were no mosquitoes or poisons to disturb him; Otherwise, with Liu Xie's weak body, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out of the jungle alive.

?????????????????????????

"It turns out that this qiē is carefully designed by you, it's incredible, you guys are terrible!"

Until this moment, the white-faced man suddenly realized, he thought that the escape from Chang'an was caused by luck, but now it seems that everything is in the hands of the general Li Li, which is 、、、 incredible!

Sighing and amazed, the man suddenly remembered whose craftsmanship was that extremely familiar brocade robe, which was sewn by his mother with stitches and threads, no wonder it looked so familiar. There was no time to marvel, and then he remembered another extremely important thing——— incense, Liu Xie's illness this time was caused by that precious ambergris.

Last winter, Liu Xie cut off a small piece of incense that he had not been willing to use and put it in the incense burner, but that night he was fierce and fierce, lingering with Fu Shou and Dong Guiren all night, and the night was romantic until dawn. Since then, Liu Xie has been fond of that piece of incense, and every time he is happy, he always has to cut a small piece and put it in the incense burner, and the fragrant fragrance fills the entire dormitory, which makes him extremely excited. From the fifth day, Liu Xie was listless, lost his appetite, and became drowsy, and then became more and more strict, so that now he lies on the couch all day long and does not wake up, and can only be filled with ginseng soup to continue his life, just like a living dead.

"What the hell is incense? Why can people sometimes fall unconscious and sometimes awake, so that they finally fall unconscious? The white-faced bearded man looked at Li Zhi with a shocked expression and asked in a deep voice.

Li Zhi said expressionlessly: "You and he have seen it with your own eyes, and you are also frightened by this kind of thing, and he is so scared that he pees his pants because of it." ”

"I've seen it all, scared to pee?" The man groaned casually, then suddenly widened his eyes, and said in horror: "You mean?????? Poisonous Dragon! The Hantan Jiaolong that the general hunted when he traveled to Jingzhou? ”

Li Zhi's expression was indifferent, and he said in a low voice: "To be precise, it should be the oil outside the poison sac under the belly of the poisonous dragon, the real ambergris, fragrant, but also deadly." This poison is unique in the world, and there is no cure for it. So far, only the divine doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji can be treated, and in addition, the poisoned person will definitely die! ”

There is a small piece of black brocade on the table, you take it back and put it in the incense burner, Liu Xie will wake up immediately, let him take one last look at the Han world, and then go through his life in a carnival of indulgence. Even if you don't want to, he'll die, and in his sleep. You light another piece of incense on him, and he will wake up and die in a merry life. ”

The white-faced bearded man said quite angrily: "He is already like this, why don't you let him go and insist on putting him to death?" ”

Li Zhi frowned, and said in an extremely cold tone: "Because he is the Son of Heaven and the only orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty, he must die!" Even if I don't kill him today, others will get rid of him tomorrow. Rather than let him die in vain, it is better to let him really be a man and die in the gentle township.

is the so-called: peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic. He is alive, incapable of reviving the Han Dynasty, enjoying the joy of the world before he dies, and finally he can end up with the name of a merry emperor. How to choose, you choose, everything is on the table, close the door when you leave. Remember, you only have two days, and you will bear the consequences when they expire! ”

After speaking, Li Zhi grabbed the wine jar casually, opened the curtain, and strode into the inner room.

"How so?????? Poisonous dragon, poison the true dragon emperor? God is not blessed, the heavens are dead, my big man! "The white-faced bearded man, oh no, it should be the Zhongchang servant Dong Hong who picked up the things on the table and stuffed them into his arms, and sighed unwillingly as he walked out. Pushing open the door and walking out in despair, Dong Hong retreated after more than ten steps, carefully closed the door, and then walked away with a rickety body.
