Two stout jailers were holding down a man who looked like a scholar. The prison warden personally took the board and slapped the man on the buttocks with a "snap" sound. The man was in pain and sweat was dripping from his forehead, but he gritted his teeth and did not scream.
come out.
After finishing the beating, the cell leader asked bitterly: "Tell me, who instructed you to dare to pretend to be an imperial envoy? I think you have taken the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage!"
"I am the imperial envoy!" the scholar said word by word.
"Look at how weak you are and how you don't have enough to eat. You sneaked into the granary just to steal the imperial food! How dare you pretend to be an imperial envoy! I think you are a cunning man who doesn't know how to live or die!" As he said that, the prison boss hit him again with a wooden board.
.
The scholar was so painful that he almost lost his breath, but he still gritted his teeth and shouted: "I see that you are accustomed to using torture and prison. It seems that Yuanzhou Prefecture is indispensable for those who are unjustly imprisoned after being beaten!"
"Well you... you are a surrendered soldier! Today I will let you see what it means to be beaten into a move!" The prison chief said angrily, "Tell me, who ordered it? What is the purpose?"
The scholar struggled in pain, but the two government officials pressed harder. He simply gave up struggling and said firmly: "I am ordered by the emperor to..."
"Bold! Even when death is imminent, you still keep talking!" The prison boss raised the board high again.
This time, before he could land, he heard a loud shout: "Stop!"
Lu Yu almost ran in. He ran in front of the scholar in three steps and two steps at a time. He squatted down and took a look. He was shocked and yelled: "Quick, help Mr. Wen up!" He also hurriedly warned, "
Slow down, be careful!" His voice was trembling a little.
The scholar who was called Mr. Wen was carefully helped up. His bun was messy, his face was covered in cold sweat, and a few strands of hair were stuck to his pale face. He looked very embarrassed.
Lu Yu was angry and anxious, but he had a gentle nature. He was trembling slightly in anger, but he was speechless.
A close confidant who had been with him for many years slapped the prison leader in the face, who was stunned with fear, and cursed: "How dare you! This is Mr. Wen Jinnuowen, the young minister of Dali Temple! How dare you torture him?"
!” Then he called to the Yamen: “Take these people down!”
"Really...really an imperial envoy!" The cell leader finally came to his senses and realized that he had caused a big disaster. He knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy. The two jailers who helped pin the person were also so frightened that they even forgot to beg for mercy.
The officer held down.
Wen Jinnuo raised his eyes and saw that the person coming was Lu Yu. He seemed relieved and called him in a hoarse voice: "Yuan Li."
Lu Yu's eyes were full of worry, and he took two steps quickly, wanting to help him with his own hands, but he stopped him in the middle, and instead gave him a bow, bowing and saying: "Master Wen, my...servant is late."
"Why do you have to..." Seeing him like this, Wen Jinnuo held back what he wanted to say. In the end, he just said: "Let's go, come with me to Bingshan Cang."
"Your body!" Lu Yu pulled him worriedly, then quickly retracted his hand, "You go back and rest, I'll go to the Bingshan warehouse."
"You can't die, let's go!" Wen Jin promised and limped out of the prison.
Still so stubborn.
Lu Yu shook his head and hurried to follow. Several times when he saw Wen Jinnuo having difficulty walking, he wanted to reach out to help him, but he pulled back in time before meeting him. In the end, he simply clenched his fists and put his hands behind his back, always
Follow him half a step away.
Why did Wen Jinnuo come to Yuanzhou? He was the eldest son of the Wen family in Yunzhou, and he was a young and practical person deeply trusted by the emperor. Lu Yu couldn't think of any reason for him to come to Yuanzhou.
Wen Jinnuo got hit a few times. Although he didn't have any injuries, his buttocks were really painful and tight, so he couldn't ride a horse. When he got on the carriage, he could only lie down.
The carriage swayed toward Bingshan Cang.
One of them was lying on his stomach, and the other was sitting quietly by the window, neither of them speaking.
The confidant hurried back to the house to get the ointment and handed it into the carriage. Lu Yu held the light blue porcelain ointment jar and squeezed his sleeves, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
Wen Jinnuo let out a breath, "It's okay, I'll do it myself." After a pause, he added, "I look so ugly like this."
Lu Yu tightened his fingers and said, "It's not ugly. It's me... it's not okay for me, a slave, to touch you."
Wen Jinnuo frowned, turned his head, looked at Lu Yu seriously, and said: "Lu Yu."
This was the first time that Wen Jinnuo didn't call him Yuan Li. Lu Yu coughed lightly, saluted respectfully and said, "Yes."
Wen Jinnuo was frustrated, shook his head and said, "Don't be like this. We are classmates and close friends. We were once and will be forever."
Lu Yu lowered his head, not daring to look at him. After a moment of silence, he whispered: "Master Wen... don't say such words again. This slave... I don't dare, and I don't deserve it."
Wen Jinnuo choked on his words and suddenly felt that not only his butt hurt, but also his head began to hurt. He rested his head on his arms and said dullly: "What do you dare not do? You dare not be friends with me anymore.
?”
What are you not worthy of? Not worthy of being with scholars anymore?
Wen Jinnuo still didn't say the last sentence.
Lu Yu lowered his head with a respectful expression and said nothing.
Wen Jinnuo was defeated by his humble attitude and said patiently: "You must be curious as to why I came." He laughed at himself, "I invited myself here. You are now trapped in Yuanzhou's situation. You have no choice but to come."
There is no one you can trust but no one can rely on. If anyone can help you, it must be me!"
"Master Wen!" Lu Yu interrupted him. He decided to escape as usual and said, "Master Wen, wait a moment, I will call someone to apply medicine for you."
"Lu Yu!" Wen Jinnuo yelled angrily, "You know, you were..." He paused, unwilling to continue talking about this topic. He also took a breath of air in pain and calmed down.
He said: "At that time, I really wanted to see your injury, give you medicine, and comfort you. But I didn't dare. My father and teacher didn't let me."
Lu Yu closed his eyes. Was it when he had just been castrated? It was better that he had not come to see him. If he had come, I'm afraid he would be more willing to die.
Wen Jinnuo said seriously: "You are the person I regard Shuangxue as my best friend in this life."
He knew very well that Lu Yu, a sensitive and gentle scholar, did not want others to see him in such a miserable state.
The teacher once said that if he was smart and cared about him back then, it would only be hurt to Lu Yu, and his self-esteem would be thrown to the ground and trampled on repeatedly. So he did not go. He even saw him from a distance in the palace several times later, and Wen Wen
Jinnuo didn't even say hello.
But his admiration for Lu Yu's talent and character has never changed, and he will never give up on this friend.
However, their "reunion" may need an opportunity.
This time, knowing that Lu Yu was trapped in Yuanzhou and unable to return to Beijing for a while, Wen Jinnuo felt that it was time for him to take action, so he came.
He arrived in Yuanzhou faster than the imperial envoy's large team. He did not take any servants to escort him, put on ordinary coarse clothes, and mixed with the team of porters into the Bingshan warehouse.
To get reliable clues, you need to be unexpected and get the first clue.
He did discover something suspicious about Bingshan Cang, but he was also arrested as a rioter and imprisoned. He knew very well that only by spreading the news could his guards have information to save him.
But what he didn't expect was that Lu Yu was the one who came to save him first. So now he had to face his friend lying down with cold sweat on his face and embarrassment.
He was already in such a mess anyway, and seeing his friend's awkward look, he simply said what he was hiding in his heart.
It's just that he is not sure about Lu Yu's attitude. Comparing his feelings, he knows very well the psychological gap and low self-esteem of Lu Yu who has plummeted from a noble scholar to a eunuch.
He stopped talking and was shaking slightly because of the pain.
Lu Yu was silent for a long time, then suddenly heaved a long sigh, slowly took off the lid of the ointment, and whispered: "Mr. Wen, why have you ever suffered like this? Don't move around. If it hurts too much, just shout, I won't laugh.
you."
Wen Jinnuo was stunned for a moment, buried his head in his arms, and laughed muffledly.
Maybe he couldn't let go in a day, but he believed that with this good start, after properly handling the Yuanzhou matter, and having plenty of time to get along slowly, they might one day be able to go back to reading by candlelight, talking about the past and the present, without any worries.
A time without talking.
I feel sorry for Argentina (heartache!), and I also praise Saudi Arabia for its surprisingly good performance and cheating goalkeeper.
In fact, the code was finished before the game started, but there was no time to catch the bugs, so I had to wait until after the game to catch the bugs and release them.
