After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"When I came down yesterday, I met him first. I told him that I had important matters to discuss with the wise king."

"He told his subordinates that the wise king was in the main force at the rear."

"He even sent a soldier to lead his men to find the wise king."

"I saw that he was sincere, so I believed him. As a result, the soldier took me around in a big circle. I felt something was wrong, so I hurried back."

Xiao Minshen looked at the wise king in front of him with a smile.

"Sixth brother, are the people around you disloyal?"

The wise king paused. Xiao Minshen's meaning was very clear. He almost said that he instructed the people around him to deceive Mo Yi.

"It is my Sixth Brother who failed to govern strictly. I will punish him severely when I return. Now that the truth has been revealed, let's return to Beijing together."

"Come here, bring a horse to the King of Qi!"

Immediately, a soldier brought up a horse.

"You follow beside my horse."

Xiao Minshen whispered to Boss Li.

Boss Li nodded and moved closer to the horse.

When the leader on the left saw this, he quickened his pace and walked to the side of Boss Li.

Xiao Minshen's eyes flashed and he jumped onto the horse.

After walking for a whole day, they arrived at an inn.

"All of you should sleep on the big bunk bed," the wise king ordered.

"We want a big bunk bed." Boss Li made a request to Xiao Minshen.

Xiao Minshen nodded and said to the postman at the post station, "They are all in one room."

The leader who followed Boss Li grabbed Boss Li and said, "Boss, why do we only need one big bunk bed? So many people are squeezed together, and we can't even sleep well."

"What do you know? We all take turns to rest. If anything happens, we can escape together."

Boss Li pulled him and whispered.

"But we all live together. Aren't you worried that you'll be the one to blame?"

"Are you stupid? If we separate, there are so many soldiers, and if we each defeat one of them, we still won't be able to escape."

"That's right, the boss is still smart."

The others also nodded in agreement.

"Mo Yi, you stay outside their house tonight."

Xiao Minshen ordered Mo Yi.

"What about you, Your Majesty?" Mo Yi was even more worried about Xiao Minshen's safety.

The wise king is not as easy to get along with as he appears to be. He seems gentle, but in reality you can’t figure him out at all.

The first night passed peacefully for everyone.

When he woke up the next day, there were two large bruises under Boss Li's eyes.

He was the first one to agree to surrender. So many brothers trusted him and followed him through thick and thin.

Now, although he wanted to enjoy wealth and glory with his brothers, he was also worried that they would lose their lives before reaching the capital.

After marching for several days, everyone lived in peace.

Seeing that they would reach Beijing in just one day, everyone felt relieved.

Because they were in a hurry to travel that day, they missed the post station and had to sleep outdoors in the wilderness.

The soldiers around the wise king went to hunt some game, and everyone started a bonfire and started barbecuing.

Someone took out a wine bag.

Everyone passed it around one by one and took a sip.

The wine was the strongest kind, Shaodaozi, which made everyone drink to their heart's content.

Xiao Minshen used the excuse that he didn't like Shaodaozi and just took a sip.

Mo Yi went out to hunt wild game, saying it would be a snack for everyone.

Soon, the wine in the wineskin was drunk.

The bandits, who were not satisfied yet, took out the wine they brought with them and started drinking with each other.

The virtuous king walked up to Xiao Minshen with a wine bag in his hand.

"Fifth brother, it was because Sixth brother didn't discipline his subordinates well before, and he almost misunderstood Fifth brother."

"Now, Sixth Brother, I am using this wine to apologize to Fifth Brother."

After saying that, he picked up the wine bag and took a sip, then handed the wine bag to Xiao Minshen.

Xiao Minshen took it, played with it in his hands, but did not drink it.

"Why, Fifth Brother is still blaming Sixth Brother?"

"Otherwise, Sixth Brother will hand this man over to Fifth Brother. Fifth Brother can decide whether to kill him or chop him up."

Xiao Minshen's lips curled up, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"What are you talking about, Sixth Brother? We are brothers, how can Fifth Brother be so petty?"

"It's just that Fifth Brother really can't get used to this Shaodaozi. Fifth Brother's stomach has been spoiled, and he can't drink anything too stimulating."

The wise king smiled and said, "Fifth brother, this is not Shaodaozi, it is wine from the Western Regions."

Xiao Minshen glanced at him and smiled too.

"Sixth brother, you are so thoughtful. How about leaving this bag of wine for fifth brother?"

As he said this, he leaned over to the mouth of the wine bag and sniffed it hard.

Then, looking intoxicated, he raised the wine bag and took a sip.

"Good wine!" he smiled at the wise king.

"Since Fifth Brother likes it, Sixth Brother will give it to Fifth Brother."

The virtuous king was also very happy and sat next to Xiao Minshen.

"Fifth brother, do you know? A while ago, poisonous snakes entered the Qi Wang Mansion."

"I heard that your concubine was so frightened that she almost had a miscarriage, and your eldest nephew was also frightened to the point of losing his soul."

When Xiao Minshen heard this, he became very nervous and stood up suddenly, and most of the wine in the wine bag poured out at once.

"What happened next? Is your nephew okay?" He held the wise king's hand.

The wise king's eyes flashed, and he patted Xiao Minshen's hand.

"When the sixth brother came out, I didn't hear any news. He should be fine."

"Anyway, we will be in Beijing tomorrow, so you can go back and take a look first."

"Do you know why the snake got in?"

Xiao Minshen sat down again, his hand holding the wine bag trembling slightly.

When the wise king saw the wine being poured out, he felt a little distressed.

He reached out and took the wine bag. "I don't know. I just heard it from someone."

"Tomorrow, Sixth Brother will go to the palace to report to Father first, Fifth Brother, you can go back to the mansion first, it won't be too late to go to the palace later."

"Will the emperor be unhappy about this?"

"No, Sixth Brother will report this to Father. When Father finds out, he will definitely not blame you."

Xiao Minshen nodded, "Okay, I'm worried about your nephew. When the time comes, you must remember to report the crime to the emperor."

"Definitely!" the wise king promised firmly.

"My sister-in-law should be giving birth soon, right?" Xiao Minshen asked with concern.

"That should be the case. Anyway, we don't really understand women's affairs and can't help them."

The wise king waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Sixth brother, you should have a drink too. This wine is really good."

"Before, the concubine of the fifth brother made some fruit wine."

"If you ask Fifth Brother, this wine of yours isn't any better than this."

Xiao Minshen stared at the virtuous king with sharp eyes, and the virtuous king had no choice but to hold the wine bag and take a sip.

"You are so delicate. This wine is not intoxicating."

When the wise king heard this, he had no choice but to take a big sip.

Xiao Minshen waited until he finished drinking before taking the wine bag over to him.

"I'll have another sip, too."

He lifted up the wineskin, but it was empty.
