Chapter Ninety-Six: Thou shalt die
"Wu Hou's injury is not well, how can he leave to hang out in the Palm Seal Division?" Wei Xian saw Wu Hou visiting, and naturally understood why he came, but he didn't mention it at all, as if it had nothing to do with Qiu Yanbin's imprisonment.
Liu Jizong couldn't afford to wear him down and said straight to the point: "Yanbin is young and vigorous, and occasionally acts too impulsively, if he unintentionally offends his father-in-law, he still wants to do a lot of Haihan." ”
After listening to Liu Jizong's words, Wei Xian seemed to have been slandered and said angrily: "The Sprinkle family still thinks that Wuhou has come to drink a cup of tea with his face, what are you talking about?
"This morning, the father-in-law of the dynasty also knew that Qiu Yanbin was angry with His Majesty because of the burning of the city, and he was arrested and imprisoned by the forbidden feather guard last night, and he was beheaded to tell the world seven days later. Seeing the appearance of the eunuch who did not enter the oil and salt, Wuhou gritted his teeth and continued: "I was also reprimanded by His Majesty just now, and now I should go back to the house to think about it, only you can save Yanbin." ”
"Why bother Wuhou, since the holy will is like this, how can it be controlled by you and me. ”
"Commander Huang led the reinforcements for this expedition, and he is the person who knows best. Since it is difficult for my father-in-law to do it, I can only go to him. Liu Jizong paused, and said to himself with a look of regret: "I thought it was Yanbin who was reckless, and I specially wanted to give the "Kyushu Four Seas Map" to my father-in-law to apologize on his behalf......"
"Marquis Wu, please stay!" Wei Xian suddenly drank Liu Jizong, who got up to leave, and said with a smile on his face: "Although Lord Huang knows the truth, but the affairs in the officialdom are told by one person's mouth? ”
Liu Jizong had already guessed that there would be such a result, but his face was still silent and grateful: "That's a lot of trouble for Grandpa Wei." ”
"Well said, well said. Wei Qiansui smiled at this time: "Don't worry, the Sprinkle family estimates that it is also a person under the bottom who misunderstands what General Qiu has done without knowing the reason! Wuhou can rest assured, General Qiu is loyal and brave, and no one in the court knows it, and the Sprinkle family will definitely order someone to investigate this matter, and then they will return General Qiu's innocence." ”
After the two saluted each other for a few drinks and chatted about many other things, Liu Jizong said goodbye and returned home with a burden of guilt, Wei Xian naturally said very earnestly that he wanted to go out to see him off, but his heels did not leave the same place by half an inch.
After Wuhou excused himself and left alone, Wei Xian sat down again with the cup in his hand, his eyes shining from time to time, of course he knew what Liu Jizong meant by pulling out Huang Huaien for no reason - it was to remind Wei Xian that he understood that Qiu Yanbin's imprisonment was not behind Huang Huaien's back, or the so-called first person in the DPRK and China was secretly pushing it.
To be honest, Wei Xian framed Qiu Yanbin just to divert Kang Jia's anger and keep his unconscious godson, and by the way, he took the opportunity to suppress Liu Jizong, who had just won a victory, so that he wouldn't get too carried away, as for offending people completely, it was not the required situation.
Fortunately, Liu Jizong also knew that with his current weight in the emperor's heart, he could not change the verdict against Qiu Yanbin, so he did not tear his face and gave a step, and the two of them finally reached a tacit promise after several rounds of open guns and secret arrows.
Thinking of "Kyushu Four Seas Map" Eunuch Wei was excited, it was the pinnacle of the "ancient masterpiece" Wang Mengxi, pouring 30 feet of canvas to paint all over the world's mountains, hills, rivers and lakes, pavilions, thatched cottages, water mill long bridges......
Legend has it that this painting depicts finely, the mood is vivid, the scenery is numerous, the weather is thousands, the composition is dense and there are many changes, with the combination of linen and axe splitting, the color is uniform and clear, and the ochre color is in the middle of the green and green, which can be called the only treasure that can take over the emperor's country!
Gonggong Wei in the Palm Seal Division laughed: He won again! Not only did he achieve his original goal, but he also got an additional miracle, what did Qiu Yanbin get!
At night, there is no warm and lively house in Wuhou Mansion at all, even if it is for people to enjoy the lotus garden that covers an area of several kilometers.
Liu Jizong quickly sent someone to send the painting to Wei Xian's mansion, he sat down tiredly, the tea on the table was already cold but he had never tasted it, and he was just in a daze at a crumpled letter in his hand.
Suddenly, there was a slight noise outside the house, Wu Hou immediately raised his head and stared at the door, his hand had reached under the table and pulled out the dagger hidden in the mezzanine - Xiao Yixin had already gone back to the room to sleep, and the epilepsy was arranged to live in the guest room, except for the guards who were keeping vigil, people were also resting, who would be close to the study at this hour?
"Wuhou doesn't have to guard against it, it's me. The wooden door was gently pushed open, and the midnight visitor cautiously stepped over the threshold, as if afraid of alarming the sleeping evening breeze, and the visitor was dressed in a dark gray coat.
"I know you came back, I didn't find you so early. Liu Jizong withdrew his hand from under the table and smiled bitterly.
"It's late. Bai Luofeng continued, "It's late to General Qiu and he is in prison. ”
"I know you're Yang Qinglian's person. You are also kind to me, but there are some things I cannot help you with. ”
"I'm not his person, I'm his friend. Bai Luofeng looked directly at Liu Jizong in his seat and persuaded: "Wuhou, you have been silent in the mansion for too long. ”
"If I don't do this, that person will not let go of Liu Jiajun, and who will guard the border pass at that time?"
"Once this person is removed, do you still need to worry about the safety of the Liu family's army? ”
"I'll take care of Yanbin's affairs. Li Jizong didn't dare to look directly at Bai Luofeng, "He won't die." ”
The house was quiet again.
After a while, Bai Luofeng opened his mouth and asked, "Have you gone to ask Wei Xian?"
Wu Hou sipped the herbal teacup and was silent.
"Have you thought about it, because he let Qiu Yanbin go, you spared him, and then there will be people like the Quanyang defenders who will die in the future!" Bai Luofeng couldn't help but raise his voice, and the helpless choice made in Quanyang City that day appeared in front of him, "I am from the rivers and lakes, no matter how high my martial arts are, I can only save one person." But you are an official, even if you are unarmed, you can save tens of thousands of people!"
"The partition wall has ears. Liu Jizong put down the teacup, slowly closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair to stop making a sound.
Bai Luofeng understood that he was chasing away guests, and he didn't linger cheekily, the sword scabbard on his back couldn't cover the cold light of Mo Ming, and the cold sword qi disappeared into the air with cold words: "I'll come to you again in a few days, I hope you will change your mind." ”
And at this moment, in the prison under the feet of the world, the damp and dark environment and the restless mosquitoes are eroding every prisoner all the time.
In one of the cells, Qiu Yanbin, who was huddled in the corner, struggled to open his eyes, and he heard a pair of clear footsteps getting closer and closer, and the figure finally stopped in front of his cell.
"Creation makes people, and Huai Gong will only be one night away from being imprisoned. The man slowly crouched down and looked at the people inside, and sighed quietly.
The prisoner watched as he watched the figure, took out a paper bag from his sleeve robe, and put it through a stake and placed it on the ground. At the moment when the face was close, Qiu Yanbin recognized who the other party was, but he didn't know his intention, and he couldn't call his name.
"If you don't die, Liu Jizong will not make up his mind to be an enemy of Wei Xian. The visitor moved the paper bag inward, and his tone was very calm, so peaceful that he didn't look like a person who was going to take someone's life, "It's up to you whether you take this medicine or not." But you don't forget, if it weren't for the shoddy Quanyang City Gate, why would ten thousand people be buried in the sea of fire......"
As soon as the words fell, the person had disappeared around the corner, and the medicine bag lay quietly in place, and the few words would not be finished, constantly echoing in the mind of the sin general.
On the stinking grass, Qiu Yanbin sat up and leaned against the edge of the wall, he stared at the small paper bag for a long time and finally smiled miserably, picked it up without any hesitation, and raised his head......
