Seeing Zhang Shou pulling Zhu Ying and strolling out of the house, Little Peanut couldn't help but glance at the lost eldest prince, as if he wanted to remember this noble Tianhuang who had harmed so many people in his heart, and then
Then he hurriedly chased Zhang Shou. But Zhu Er had no interest in meeting or talking to the eldest prince, and he ran away just as fast.
As for Ah Liu, what the hell did he have to say to the eldest prince? However, he found that Old Xianyu was still staying in front of the door and did not leave. He thought about it. Although he felt that the safety of Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying was the first priority, Old Xianyu was the first priority.
It didn't matter what Xianyu wanted to do to the eldest prince, but in order to avoid causing trouble and because he believed that Zhu Ying's force was enough to deal with emergencies, he still stayed.
However, the young man who was already quite scheming quickly moved into the shadows.
Sure enough, Old Xianyu noticed that everyone seemed to have left. He who had been standing outside the threshold just now raised his feet and stepped over the threshold to enter. Then he stopped six or seven steps away from the eldest prince. He saw that everyone was drooping.
With his head sitting on the ground, like a lifeless clay wood sculpture, he said softly: "Emperor Taizu will definitely regret it if he sees his descendants become like this."
The eldest prince suddenly heard Emperor Taizu, a proper term that was not often mentioned in front of him, and immediately raised his head. When he saw the man in front of him who once carried him to the front to face a group of rioters
The old man couldn't help but said angrily: "How can a traitor like you get away with it? Are Zhu Tingfang and Zhang Shou so willing to bend the law for personal gain?"
"First, I am an innocent person who was chased by Xu Cheng, the magistrate of Changlu County, who your Highness has scolded, and those big dogs. I cannot bear the words of a rebellious official and traitor; second, before you say that someone is bending the law for personal gain, you must first
Think of what you, Your Highness, did with a nest of snakes and rats!"
Old Xianyu has never faced the dragon and phoenix grandson in such a close situation in these years. At this time, when the snake and rat den came out of his mouth, he felt extremely happy. Therefore, when he saw the eldest prince, he was so real.
When faced with the malicious look in his eyes, he remained calm and unfazed, instead he even sneered.
"The capital is a suitable place for people like you, Your Highness, who play tricks on power and are greedy. Cangzhou doesn't need people like you!"
Watching Old Xianyu leave quickly, Ah Liu emerged from the shadows and returned to the door. Seeing that the eldest prince's whole face was twitching together after being scolded, he didn't make a sound, just so quiet.
He looked at the other person quietly, until the eldest prince raised his head as if unconsciously, and his eyes met his unexpectedly, and then he raised the corner of his mouth.
However, his smile was not really a tool to soothe people. The eldest prince immediately acted like an overly frightened rabbit. He put his hands on the ground, pushed his feet on the ground, and stepped back desperately until his back finally hit a leg of the desk.
Then it stopped.
"You...what do you want to do?" He knew that this boy was the most powerful henchman around Zhang Shou!
"Nothing to do, just take a look." Ah Liu burst out these eight words, and then he shrugged slightly uninterestedly like an ordinary idle guy watching the fun, "It turned out to be nothing interesting."
Ah Liu's completely leisurely tone - if Zhang Shou was here, he would definitely say that he was so leisurely - immediately angered the eldest prince. However, the lessons learned from his previous challenge to Zhu Ying but being ravaged made him dare not challenge it again.
Ah Liu, who was obviously much higher in rank than Zhu Ying, could only sit there and gnash his teeth.
"You won't be proud forever!"
Ah Liu naturally had no interest in responding to such a rotten dog's wail. He glanced at the eldest prince lightly, then turned around and left. Even if the most unpleasant insults and curses came from behind, he had no urge to retaliate. It's just that
When he was approaching the entrance of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped, took off the short bow he carried with him, turned around and shot an arrow.
The eldest prince, who was scolding Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying for being an adulterer, suddenly heard a sharp sound from a bowstring. He had been threatened by such a thing before and was so frightened that he did not dare to move. Sure enough,
The next moment, a short arrow flew past his cheek, and the strong wind that broke through the air made his face hurt.
When he turned his head with difficulty and saw the short arrow nailed to the desk behind him, with the arrow feathers even trembling, the eldest prince finally became angry. He got up with difficulty, held the arrow feathers in one hand and thought
Pull out the arrow. He has always been afraid of pain and has even made up his mind. After pulling out the short arrow, he stuck it in his arm and immediately shouted for assassin.
He didn't believe that Du Heng, the commander of Ruiqiying Zuoying, would turn a deaf ear to his assassination!
But when he was doing this, he heard a cold voice coming from his ear: "This short bow and short arrows are from the emperor. Because I blocked the traitors and assassins in Rongshui Village, he appreciated my archery skills and gave him
My stuff."
You'd better use your brain when you're framing me...Besides, if I were to take action, you'd be dead a long time ago!
The eldest prince's face turned green and white, but in the end he still exerted force as if fiercely, but immediately afterwards, he was dumbfounded - not because the short arrow penetrated three points into the wood and he couldn't pull it out at all, but because... he was...
With such force, the short arrow was broken directly by him... Just like that, it was broken into two pieces! Isn't it a gift from the emperor? How could it be so weak?
Although he did not see the stunned scene of the eldest prince, Ah Liu could imagine what the eldest prince would do, so he kept a smile on his face on the way to the small kitchen, and even remembered what the emperor said to him.
"The wood and string used in this short bow are very rare. However, this short arrow is not so much specially made as it is deliberately weakened. Not only is it not tough, but it will break without applying much force. I don't know the skill of the craftsman who made it.
What are you thinking about, so this bow and arrow has never been used by anyone, so I gave it to you. I think the only advantage is that... the arrowhead will be embedded in the flesh when you pull it out? "
"Ah Liu, where have you been? I almost went to Du Heng's place to find you, and I was worried that you would be stopped by him!"
Hearing this turbulent voice, Ah Liu, who was wandering in the world, suddenly came back to his senses. Seeing that it was Zhu Ying, he was silent for a moment, then his ears suddenly twitched, and then he said: "General Du is tolerant and generous, and will not
of."
Separated by a wall, Du Heng, who was called tolerant and generous for the first time in his life, suddenly darkened his face. He was not sure whether Ah Liu heard him coming, so he said that, or whether the simple, direct and rough boy really thought so. Now that he came here, he was originally
The purpose was to ask Zhang Shou face to face what should be done with the eldest prince, and what should be done with Xian Yunhe and other people who had made trouble in the past.
He also wanted to know what Zhang Shou planned to do in Cangzhou and what he wanted him to do, but at this moment he suddenly felt that it was unnecessary.
He heard the report just when Zhang Shou and others were entering the palace, so he quietly went around the wall of the eldest prince's residence and heard the whole process of how these people went to see the eldest prince. People said that he had a bad temper and had a weird temper, but today he
Only then did I realize what it means to be really hot-tempered and have a weird temper... Even if the eldest prince is guilty of all kinds of crimes, he is still a prince after all!
Zhu Ying saw Ah Liu winking at her, and as smart as she was, she immediately realized that the walls had ears. Although she wanted to ridicule the commander of Zuoying of Ruiqiying who was listening in the corner, she finally laughed half-heartedly.
: "Yes, yes, it's because of Commander Du's tolerance and magnanimity that Ashou and I went to see the eldest prince directly. Otherwise, we should have gone to see him..."
Du Heng finally couldn't bear it any longer. He had better not see them anymore and have less to do with these people...so as not to be angry to death!
It wasn't until he heard the extremely slight sound of leaving footsteps that Ah Liu said to Zhu Ying, "He's gone."
"Hmph!" Zhu Ying snorted angrily, and then said fiercely, "With the eldest brother here, there is no need for Du Hengchu to be here. Later, let him lead the troops to escort the eldest prince back to the capital. Such a nuisance is all
Once everything is cleaned up, Ah Shou and Big Brother will be free to clean up the situation in Cangzhou!"
After saying this, seeing Ah Liu being silent again, she remembered the business of running here, coughed heavily and said: "Okay, don't think so much, Ah Shou took them to see Xian Yunhe.
!”
Ah Liu's eyes that seemed a little casual just now suddenly became sharp: "Is he the only one who went there with the second young master, Little Peanut?"
"And the old salted fish who just came to join us..." Zhu Ying had just said this when she saw Ah Liu rushing forward. She was stunned for a moment before she realized what he was worried about, and hurriedly rushed forward.
, "Xian Yunhe is the main criminal, he must be in shackles, there is nothing he can do to Ah Shou!"
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens... This thought flashed through Ah Liu's mind, but he didn't explain it. Instead, he walked faster. When he came to the seemingly remote yard, he heard Zhu Er
of shouting.
"Did Du Heng do this on purpose or unintentionally? Isn't this the woodshed where you used to imprison the eldest prince?"
Ah Liu was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Little Peanut's crying voice: "Uncle Yunhe, Uncle Yunhe, what's wrong with you? Open your eyes and look at me...you talk!" He realized that something was wrong with the situation.
Subtlety, he didn't care about anything else, and rushed over after just two or three ups and downs. When he saw Old Xianyu kicking open the woodshed door, his eyes became even sharper.
Zhu Er, on the other hand, felt that this scene seemed familiar, and immediately felt mixed emotions. Seeing Lao Xianyu and Xiao Huahua rushing in one after another, he saw that Ah Liu had already arrived beside Zhang Shou, so he hurried over and whispered:
"The eldest prince was also imprisoned here that day. He was only given one meal a day. He was so hungry that he lost all his strength. The old salted fish couldn't wait for the key and broke in."
How did Zhu Er deceive the eldest prince? Zhang Shou once heard him say it in detail like he was showing off. Now that he saw that old and wrinkled old salted fish so brave, he glanced at Ah Liu and already understood in his heart that the young man
Why are you worried about coming here so quickly?
Seeing Zhu Ying running in like a gust of wind, there were beads of sweat on her forehead probably because she was walking too fast, so he smiled and handed her a handkerchief, and then came to the door. He saw Xian Yunhe who was shackled.
He was already awake, but his speech was weak. He couldn't hear clearly at the door, so he simply went in.
With so many people crammed into this small woodshed, there was naturally not much open space. After Xiao Huahua carefully wiped Xian Yunhe's face with his sleeves, he saw that the white cloth wrapped around his wrist seemed to be the same as when Zhu Tingfang came.
The wrapping was covered with blood, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red: "They...how could they do this to you?"
"Then what do you think people should do to a repeat offender?" It was not Zhang Shou who interrupted Little Peanut, but Lao Xianyu. Seeing Little Peanut suddenly froze there, he smiled and said, "You were just doing this all day long?"
What's wrong with delivering a meal to the eldest prince and treating Yun He like this now? He's a repeat offender, and you still expect someone to come and change his medicine and packages every day and take good care of his daily life?"
Seeing that Little Peanut was speechless, Old Xianyu said calmly: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. You kid, you should understand this truth."
"Uncle...uncle, little peanut is still young..."
Xian Yunhe struggled to say a few words, and when he saw Old Xianyu glare at him, he could only smile apologetically at Little Peanut, and then raised his head to look at the people behind Old Xianyu.
He didn't recognize Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying, but at least he recognized Zhu Er. The person who could make Zhu Er, the second son of Zhao Guogong's family, follow him, he was expected to be more important than Zhu Er.
Two days ago, he was detained in the palace by Zhu Tingfang, and coincidentally, it was the woodshed where the eldest prince had been kept. And he soon learned that the Ruiqi Battalion had sent another group of soldiers and horses, and the people were
He was stationed at the Cangzhou Palace as a guard.
Although this group of soldiers and horses are not the 100 people that he stripped naked and took away their weapons before, it is inevitable that there is some friendship between the colleagues, and the previous incident cannot be covered by paper. They are both from the Ruiqi camp, so it is inevitable that they will have to fight against each other.
Helping others vent their anger, even if they are strictly prohibited from publicly abusing him as a felon, as long as they are careless about eating and dressing, he will inevitably become weak and physically weak.
Having said that, he also knew that his uncle was right. He could not expect others to treat him, a felon, as a guest. He stabilized his mind and then said with a wry smile: "Uncle, you are right, I am already a prisoner."
, I don’t dare to demand anything harshly. All my mistakes are my fault alone. I am the first culprit, and others just succumb to me.”
He paused and said word by word: "Moreover, what happened before was done by me on my own initiative without consulting you, uncle. That's why you did it with my uncle without knowing it."
The young master was being hunted down together. And little peanut is only fourteen years old this year, so he is still young. He was just taken by me, but actually he didn’t know anything..."
Zhang Shou suddenly interrupted Xian Yunhe's words: "These days, youth is not an excuse to escape guilt. Think about it, you should know that in the Tang Dynasty, two filial sons, both under the age of fourteen, set up a conspiracy just to avenge their father who was unjustly killed.
Trap, killing the enemy with his own hands, such blood-related revenge that was praised by countless people, and most public opinion was on his side, but in the end he was still executed by Tang Xuanzong."
At this point, he emphasized his tone and said, "Do you think you can exonerate Little Peanut by taking on all the charges by yourself? If we really need to investigate what he did, he will be no less guilty than you!"
Xian Yunhe's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he immediately looked towards Xiaohuahua, his face full of hatred. How dare you admit such a big thing in front of outsiders when a man disguised himself as a woman and kidnapped the eldest prince?
