Chapter 023 Dilemma

Opening the window, the cold wind mixed with the falling rain blew into the house. The cool air on his face refreshed Zhao Bing.?
b?i?q?u g?e.
?c?n?After more than ten days of sailing, their fleet finally encountered the sentinel ship of the Song Dynasty, and then brought them into Jiazi Port. It was already the 15th day of the first lunar month of the second year of Jingyan, and they were wandering.
Spent the New Year.
"Wang De, is there anyone from the palace?" Zhao Bing has been back for three days, but he was placed in a mansion outside the town. The palace sent him a number of things, but the emperor and the queen mother did not summon them.
.The accompanying Ni Liang and others were temporarily accommodated by Liu Fu, but they have not shown up yet, which made him a little puzzled.
"Your Highness, I have been waiting outside the door, but no one came to report. I think the official and the empress are involved in something, so it is not convenient to summon him!" Wang De bowed and saluted.
"Are you from the Empress's palace?" Zhao Bing raised his hand to excuse him and looked up and down at Wang De, the newly appointed chamberlain who was waiting for him. He was in his thirties, of medium build, with a fair face without beard, and a delicate face.
Eunuch Xiang'er.
"Your Highness has a good memory. He used to serve the Queen Mother all the time. When the empress learned that His Highness was back, she sent him to the palace to serve her.
"Oh, why are all the old people in the palace gone? Have they been transferred elsewhere?" When Zhao Bing first moved in, he found the servants serving him inside and outside. There was no familiar face in the palace maids and guards. At first, he thought that the palace thought he was there.
After not returning home for many days, the people were in distress and were transferred elsewhere. But now that they have been back for two days, none of them have returned, which is a bit strange.
"Your Highness did not know something. Your Highness disappeared after disembarking from the ship that day. The empress and the officials were furious and executed all the servants who did not work hard." Wang De replied hesitantly.
"Alas... I have caused them trouble." Zhao Bing was stunned after hearing this, and sighed in silence for a while. Thinking about how he hurriedly got off the ship and mistakenly boarded the isolation ship in order to save Ni Liang, he didn't expect to save one person and hundreds of people.
But he lost his life for this, which is really unbearable.
"Your Highness, there is no need to be sentimental. You are a noble man, but those servants were so careless that they almost took your Highness's life. This is the crime. Bi? "Qu???ge" w?w?w?.b "i"q?u?g?e
?.?cn" Wang De looked at the sad expression on His Highness's face, and felt uneasy in his heart. He saw with his own eyes the chamberlains, maids, guards, and sailors on His Highness's ship all tied into rice dumplings and thrown into the sea to feed the fish. But this was
The empress with a bodhisattva heart issued the decree. Seeing that His Highness had no intention of angering me, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly comforted her.
"Where are the people who returned from the same boat with me?" Zhao Bing suddenly thought that those who had been in trouble with him would not be treated as disease victims, right? He asked quickly.
"Your Highness, those people have disembarked and have temporarily set up another camp." Wang De replied.
"Where's Mr. Liu?"
"Your Highness, this... this little one really doesn't know." Wang De replied with a smile.
"Well, Ni Liang, Ni Liang..." Liu Fu has not been heard from since he got off the boat, and he seems to be under house arrest, surrounded by strangers. This makes Zhao Bing very uneasy and wonders what happened in the court.
matter.
"Your Highness, there is no one named Ni Liang in the mansion, why don't we send someone to look for him?" Seeing His Highness calling people to go out, Wang De became anxious and blocked the door.
"I want to go out for a walk." Zhao Bing said. The old people who served him were all executed. Ni Liang, the 'chief culprit', must have hid after hearing about it, but it was good this way, so as not to add another ray of injustice. The top priority is
I still need to contact my people, but there is no one I can trust, so I have to go alone.
"Your Highness, it's raining outside, and there are many fish and dragons. Your Highness has been told not to go out." Wang De looked at His Highness and replied carefully.
"..."
"Your Highness, the empress has ordered the imperial guards to stay in front of the palace. No one is allowed to enter the palace at will. The original entourage of the palace has also been replaced." Wang De tensed up when he saw His Highness.
His face seemed very unhappy, and he hurriedly explained.
"What?! Why do you want to replace my king's people? Find them all for me immediately. If one of them is missing, I won't eat. I want to see my mother..." When Zhao Bing heard this, he secretly screamed, "My people are not good."
They are all shady. If he is recognized by others and separated from his protection, his life will be at stake. The fragile alliance he has just formed will disappear in an instant, but all he can do is to act like a child to force others to do so.
yield.
"Your Highness, a young man cannot be the master!"
"Your Highness, have mercy on the poor little one!"
"Your Highness, it would be nice for me to ride as a horse for you..."
"Your Highness, let's go to the garden, shall we..."
Wang De was sweating at the moment and his voice was hoarse. No matter how he tried to persuade him, His Highness was still making a fuss. He wanted to see his playmate and the Empress. And the Empress had already issued strict orders before he came, and His Highness had
He was asking, how could he dare to agree easily? But if he didn't agree, he was afraid that His Highness would complain in front of the empress one day, and he would have to shed his skin even if he didn't die. This was neither left nor right, it was really worrying...
In the end, he couldn't resist the crying Highness, and Wang De had to allow him to walk around outside the door. Under the service of Xiao Huangmen, Zhao Bing had just put on his raincoat and bamboo hat, and he couldn't wait to rush out of the door. Wang De
I greeted a few of the little yellow gatekeepers, and chased after him to hold an umbrella for His Highness.
Zhao Bing observed as he walked, but all the way from the inner courtyard to the front hall, he could only see a partial view, and could only make a rough guess based on his limited knowledge of ancient buildings in his previous life. This house is not small, although he only passed by
There are three courtyards, but Wang De once proposed to take him to play in the garden, so the whole house should be a four-entry mansion. There are also courtyards on the east and west sides, and there should be at least three courtyards. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the scale of the palace, but it is also scattered.
The elegant high-rise compound should be regarded as a mansion in such a small place.
"Jiang Zongjie, the official of the imperial court, brought his weapons and joined the army to meet His Royal Highness King Wei!" As soon as they arrived at the front hall, a man came forward and saluted him by name.
"Oh...no courtesy!" Zhao Bing was stunned and looked at this person up and down. He was about 20 years old and had a handsome face. If he weren't wearing a battle robe and carrying a sword, he really wouldn't look like a soldier. He has a brain.
After checking the database, I have no impression. I think he is an ordinary junior officer.
"Jiang joined the army for his hard work. Your Highness wants to go out for a walk, so please make it easier." Wang De behind him smiled and saluted with a very respectful smile. This made Zhao Bing very strange. Chamberlains were a natural existence in all dynasties, and they were often in positions of authority.
He was humble and powerful, and he was once someone close to the Queen Mother. Ordinarily, even in this time of war and chaos, he would not be so polite to a gatekeeper who joined the army.
"I don't dare, Mr. Wang is too polite." Jiang Zongjie ducked and quickly returned the salute, obviously not daring to accept his salute.
"How nice of you, Mr. Jiang. I've been so busy these days that I haven't been able to say hello to him!" Wang De said with a smile, but his attitude remained the same.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your concern. My father is fine." Jiang Zongjie also greeted politely.
"Ahem..." Zhao Bing understood now. The only person in the court who can be called Mr. Jiang is Jiang Wanzai, the commander of the front army. This Xiao Jiang is his son. No wonder Wang De is so polite. But you guys
The two greeted me endlessly, treating me like nothing, so he coughed twice to remind them of his existence, and he missed Ni Liang even more in his heart. If he had blocked them aside a long time ago and passed through, he just didn't know
Are you okay now?
"Your Highness has made atonement for his sins. Your Majesty can arrange for someone to accompany you." Seeing His Highness's sullen face, Jiang Zongjie immediately realized what the problem was and hurriedly saluted.
But at this moment, there was a noise outside the gate, as if someone was trying to break into the house. Jiang Zongjie hurriedly asked people to check, and mobilized people to come. Wang De nervously protected His Highness from letting him come forward. For a moment, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
, Zhao Bing also realized that this might be directed at him, but he didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend.
"Join the army, that madman came again. Seven or eight of us brothers couldn't stop him, so we were all beaten by him." At this time, a soldier with a bruised nose and face ran over to report.
"Does he want to rebel? Follow me and take him down!" Jiang Zongjie tugged on the long knife on his crotch and said, "Your Highness, this madman has been waiting outside the house for several days without eating or drinking, and he has been driven away several times.
He refuses to leave, I don’t know what the purpose is, and he has gone crazy again today, so I will go and drive him away first.”
"Your Highness..." Zhao Bing heard someone shouting loudly outside the door, but it was like Ni Liang, "Don't hurt him, that person is my personal attendant." When he heard it again, he was not his stupid brother, saying
He ran towards the gate, but a group of people couldn't figure out the situation and chased after him to protect him.
Before 'Boom' could reach the door, the door had been knocked open, and a man staggered in, "Your Highness, are you okay?"
"Okay, have you been waiting outside the door?" Zhao Bing immediately grabbed the person's hand and said with red eyes. After not seeing each other for three days, Ni Liang seemed to be a different person. His clothes were wet and full of mud.
He looked like a beggar, with sunken cheeks and a wet head stuck to his forehead, but the silly smile on his face was still bright, and he looked like a fool.
"Your Highness, after you got off the boat, I followed you, but those soldiers were not allowed to enter the house. I was afraid that Your Highness might have something to do, so I stayed outside the door..." Ni Liang straightened his clothes with some embarrassment and took out his dirty clothes.
He rubbed his hands on his body and said.
"What a stupid brother!" He didn't need to say anything more, Zhao Bing understood. In order to wait for him, this idiot stayed outside the door without eating or drinking for three days and three nights. It was cold and raining now.
Don't know how he survived.
"Your Highness, don't cry, I'm fine!" On the way to escape, even on the crisis-ridden quarantine ship, Ni Liang didn't see His Highness crying. Now seeing his tears falling, he hurriedly knelt down and used his sleeves to give
His Highness went to wipe it, but unexpectedly his tears started to flow even more. Ni Liang was a little panicked and comforted her softly with a blushing face.
