Chapter 455 On the occasion of life and death, between father and son
"Of course it's to save people! You don't have to ask so many questions. Well, maybe it doesn't have to be cut off, but it must leave a scar, a more hideous scar."
Dai Wang opened his throat slightly and spoke: "If you want to cut it, feel free to cut it, I can bear the pain."
"You, you guys," the Taoist thought he was meeting two shady murderers, and the knife in his hand began to tremble unknowingly.
Li Siye cut off a branch from the mulberry tree in the yard with a short knife, put a long strip of dry linen into a wine jar and soaked it, then took out a circle and wrapped it around the branch, walked into the room, stuck it in and looked around.
In Liao Pao's mouth, he whispered: "Bite tight, this cloth is sweet, it is the wine from Daji Winery."
He sat sideways on the threshold, grabbing the wine jar and pouring wine into his mouth, and listened attentively to the sounds coming from behind. But Dai Wang seemed to be very tenacious, and never made a single groan from the beginning to the end. He had been hurt by swords and guns, and he knew what happened.
It's true, but right now Dai Wang or Xu Bin are suffering from both mental and physical pain, or one person has to experience the pain of two people.
To survive like this, is he willing or unwilling?
"alright."
The Taoist priest stood up straight in the room, waving his sleeves and wiping the sweat from his forehead, as if the treatment was also painful for him. Dai Wang's face was wrapped in linen cloth, and his ankles were also wrapped in gauze. Under the bed
A large pool of blood flowed out, and the wooden basin filled with hot water was also bright red.
"That's the end of today's treatment. It's time for Pindao to go back. Remember to give him more boiled water and less green salt. He should also drink some gruel when feeding him to prevent chewing from irritating the injured area."
"Okay, I'll see off the Taoist priest."
The two of them walked to the entrance of the courtyard. Li Siye took out two gold coins from his arms and handed them to the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest hurriedly raised his hand to push back and said, "This is really a lot."
"It's not much, just take it. You will be needed to change the medicine in the next few days." He pressed the gold into the palm of the other person's hand: "Do you know why I asked you to treat it?"
"This..." The Taoist priest hesitated.
"Because I know you very well. I have seen the woman and two children you raised in Shengdaofang. They are white, tender and healthy, which makes people enviable. Remember not to leak the things here. If anyone
If you come and ask, no one should ask."
A chill ran down the Taoist priest's back, and he hurriedly clasped his hands together and said, "Don't worry, even if someone comes to ask, I have never seen a strong man, let alone treated any burn patients."
"Don't be nervous, Taoist Priest. Come, I'll take you out." Li Siye walked out of the yard with a smile on his face.
He went back and bolted the door, then returned to the main room and squatted under the couch to wipe away the blood with linen cloth. He filled a basin of hot water again and wiped Dai Wang's body, which was sweating profusely. Dai Wang was lying on the bed unable to move.
Wang Mou breathed in cold air from time to time.
"It must be painful."
"My greatest pain is that my talents are buried, my ambitions are hard to apply, and I am unable to realize my ambitions."
Li Siye sighed: "It is better not to say such words with the label of Xu Bin in the future. What we should consider now is how to escape crime and live. Even if you become Dai Liulang, there will be punishment waiting for you. Participate in the cricket assassination drive
The emperor should have dismissed the crime and ignored the investigation, but the matter of killing the county magistrate Zhang in Changsong County, Wuwei was probably not so easy to eliminate. Fortunately, the new Hexi Jiedushi was Fumeng Lingcha, and he was
My boss is closer and easier to talk to."
"Even if I can live with you to Qixi, so what? Can I just eat and wait to die?"
"If you can't be prime minister, can't you do other things? There are more meaningful things in the world than being prime minister, and you need to use your eyes and heart to discover them."
Li Siye turned around and stepped out of the threshold, turned around and said, "I will go to the street to buy you some porridge, please wait patiently for now."
When his feet stepped on the streets of Chang'an City, the snowflakes fell even harder from the sky.
…
The emperor was wearing a black cloak and standing in front of the dilapidated Jinglong Temple. There were dilapidated stone statues on both sides of the gate. One of the stone statues had fallen. The Nei rate guard standing at the door was about to stop him when he suddenly saw the cloaked guest behind him.
Gao Lishi hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, while the other person hurriedly ran in to report.
The emperor calmly raised his hand and said: "Don't inform him, I will go in myself!"
On both sides of the winding road to the Taoist temple stood palace officials with frozen bodies. The emperor paced slowly, looking at them indifferently, as if they were lifeless trees beside the road, shivering coldly and shaking off fine snow from their leaves.
.
Li Longji stood under the viewing tower and looked up into the distance, then climbed up the stairs and walked around the statue to the second floor. There was a big clock hanging on the roof beam, and its surface was covered with bronze rust.
The prince sat quietly on the blanket in the cubicle, holding the chopsticks to pull the charcoal in the charcoal basin. There was a pile of papers in the box at hand. The emperor sat cross-legged opposite him, and the prince lowered his eyes without raising his head.
"Wang Jue traveled all the way from Wuwei to Lingwu and then to Chang'an. He reported everything to me. What else do you have to defend?"
Li Heng pursed his lips, picked up the tea bowl and put it on the charcoal basin.
"My son's original intention was to share my father's worries, but my father refused to believe me. Whatever I said was useless. My son was left to his father's will."
He reached out to grab the paper in the box and filled it into the charcoal basin. Li Longji, with quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed it and held it in his hand, shaking it and asking: "What are you burning these for? These are evidence of crime, who do you want to protect?"
Li Heng lowered his head and missed his father's gaze, but his pupils were full of unwillingness and stubbornness. Li Longji lowered his head to open the paper and recognized Li Linfu's handwriting. Before he could finish reading the content, Li Heng snatched it away and stuffed it into the fire.
"I saw it!" the emperor said with a glare. He stared into Li Heng's eyes. The prince suppressed his lips and forcefully took back his grievance.
"Why do you want to protect Li Linfu?"
"The son understands what the father means. His son is not talented and his ability is not as good as that of the right minister. He is willing to help his father achieve his wish."
The emperor looked at his son's face with squirming lips, and the light in his eyes finally softened. The monarch and his ministers, father and son, sat facing each other for a long time. Li Longji stood up, put his hands on his back and sighed with a bit of resentment: "
Your mentor He Jian loves you far more than a father and son. After the first month, he will leave Chang'an and return to Yuezhou. You will personally lead hundreds of officials to carry out discipleship ceremonies and see him off in a glorious way."
He walked down the stairs and walked to the center of the courtyard of the Taoist temple, kicking the snowflakes with his Liuhe boots. He suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky and said: "Actually, he did nothing wrong. The prince is the future emperor. But some people think long-term."
, taking into account the future, even if he does nothing, there will be people who take the initiative to come closer to him."
Gao Lishi, who was standing behind him, had a hint of joy in his mouth, and he was pleased that the saint finally figured it out.
However, the emperor's next sentence suddenly changed: "I'm afraid I can't bear to wait any longer."
Gao Lishi's scalp suddenly became numb. He shook the fly whisk in his hand and lowered his head, taking back the words he wanted to say. At this moment, the soldiers and palace officials standing in the Taoist garden turned into snow figurines.
