General's Good Friday

, and sent himself to bed.

"You know what to say about me..." He lay on the bed, eyes opened and closed, and said in a daze, "Then why didn't you take care of yourself last night..."

The general raised his eyebrows: "Hey! Dare to teach me... I'll take care of you when you get up!"

Xiaobai frowned and said nothing.

The general stood on the bed and watched him for a while, then leaned over and spread the quilt to cover him, Xiaobai shrunk his nose and whispered: "I'm so scared..."

The general sat down next to the edge of the bed, touched his hand lightly, and said proudly: "What are you afraid of? This time it was an accident to faint. In the past, this general was on the battlefield, even with an arrow in his chest, he fought for the whole time. Night, that will not bring down!"

The corner of Xiaobai's mouth twitched: "What big talk are you talking about..."

There is also an arrow stuck in his chest... the pain is so painful!

The general was not happy when he heard this: "Why are you talking big? Go to the barracks tomorrow and ask, ah, everyone knows! Do you think that this general's reputation is for nothing?"

Xiaobai rolled his eyes, as if he believed it a little bit, and immediately felt distressed: "Then...then did you often do this before?"

"That's it!" The general puffed up his chest, showing a very proud expression, "We defend our home and country, and fight on the battlefield. Bleeding and wounding are common occurrences! Such minor injuries are nothing!"

After he finished speaking, he went to look at Xiaobai's face, and saw that he was frowning slightly, with a look of disapproval, so he added with some embarrassment: "This time... what a surprise! It must be because I was too worried about you before, so I just said this." ...This general's body is very strong!"

Xiaobai squinted at him, wanting to smile or not, and blushed slightly: "I...I know...I was just thinking that the general can achieve what he is today, but he really suffered a lot in the past..."

"Ah..." The general's face became hot, and he was a little speechless immediately, "What are you talking about..."

Xiaobai held the general's hand instead, slowly closed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "From now on... I will be with you."

The general blinked, then quickly turned his head away, holding back the waves of warmth in his heart.

A man doesn't flick his tears easily, this feeling... really annoying!

The general recuperated at home all day, and was called out to deal with the follow-up incident. When he came back, he looked uncomfortable. He looked at Xiaobai at the dinner table, and his face turned red and white.

Xiaobai's neck was injured, so he didn't dare to chew too hard, so he took a bowl of japonica rice porridge and drank it slowly.

"What's the matter with you?" Seeing that the general was a little weird, he asked, "Seeing King Zuo Xian, did he make you angry?"

"Tch!" The general said disdainfully, "He is a defeated general, how can the general be angry for him?"

Hearing this, Xiaobai smiled, and showed an expression of admiration to the general: "Your appearance is the same as when you confronted King Zuo Xian at that time, you are so masculine!"

The old general blushed, and poked the white rice in the bowl with his chopsticks: "Hmph...that's up to you..."

Xiaobai continued to show his yearning appearance: "The general must be extraordinarily majestic and handsome on the battlefield, with extraordinary momentum..."

Moreover, he is resourceful, wise and brave, and he is completely different from his usual image.

The general's cheeks were hot, not to mention the benefits in his heart, but he still didn't care much on his face, and waved his hands: "Stop flattering, it's important to have dinner earlier... I will take you out later."

"Take me out?" Xiaobai put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and wondered, "Why are you going?"

He touched his gauze-wrapped neck again, and said hesitantly: "Well... I look like this, it's better not to go out, what can others say when they see it..."

The general said disapprovingly: "Let's just say I fell...you won't be seen if you follow the carriage!"

Xiaobai muttered softly: "How can I break my neck..."

The general heard it with the tip of his ear, squinting and said: "What are you muttering about? Hey, it's just...the person in charge of the search in the city found that Xu... Xu what?"

"Xiu Ping?" Xiao Bai was taken aback, "What happened to him?"

"'What's wrong with him'? Hehe, what do you care about him?" The general snorted unhappily, "As a domestic servant, he communicates with enemies inside and outside, and cooperates in kidnapping and abducting the master's family. This kind of bastard who eats inside and outside, can be exonerated from death. , living crime is inevitable!"

"He..." Knowing that he was also coerced by Zuo Xianwang, Xiaobai wanted to explain a few words to him, but when the words came to his lips, thinking of the encounter between himself and the general, he felt a little resentment in his heart. I can't say any excuses.

The general glanced at him: "What's wrong with him?"

Xiaobai thought for a while, and then explained for him: "He...is not considered to be an internal and external enemy, but he was forced to do this because his wife and children are in the hands of King Zuo Xian."

The general snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! My wife and children were kidnapped, so you came to abduct this general's wife? It's really unreasonable!"

Hearing that he was put on a par with "wife and children" by the general, Xiaobai felt weird in his heart. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was really the case. His face blushed slightly, and his thoughts drifted elsewhere go.

The general thought that he didn't agree with his point of view, and he was still wasting his sympathy for that Xu Xiuping foolishly. He couldn't help being very angry, but he still tried his best to suppress his temper, turned his head and said: "I knew you would be like this! So, wait Come out with me in a while and go to the cell to have a look at him!"

130 three

Earlier, King Zuo Xian gave an order to let his big men tie up Xu Xiuping and throw him into the firewood room, and then leave him alone. When he left, he didn't know whether he forgot or did it on purpose, but he didn't take him with him, and left him in the woodshed. In the room, both startled and terrified, he stayed until it was almost dawn, when the dark guards searched the house and found him who had been in a coma for a long time.

The hidden guards first saw that he was tied up and that he was from Daqing, so they thought that he was probably kidnapped and locked up here by King Zuo Xian, but they didn't dare to be careless, so they first invited a doctor for him, and sent two more The individual watched, intending to question him carefully after he regained consciousness.

Unexpectedly, when the general came the next day and found out that the hidden guards had found such a person in the courtyard, he was furious immediately. If the king of Youzhou next to him hadn't stopped him in time with a wink, he would have died immediately.

With the general personally testifying, Xu Xiuping's identity and charges were immediately clear, so when Xiaobai was brought over by the general, Xu Xiuping had already come to his senses, pleaded guilty, and was put in prison awaiting trial.

Seeing the general bringing Xiaobai over, Xu Xiuping immediately stood up from the stone couch covered with hay, looked at Xiaobai, then quickly lowered his head, looking very embarrassed and guilty.

"General... Husband... Madame..." His chest heaved a few times, and before the two of them could speak, he knelt down first, "Little man... I am ashamed of my wife, I am ashamed of my general... It's just that my wife and children are ashamed." In the hands of that thief, I really... have no choice but to do it! The villain is willing to bear all the punishments. I only ask the general to forgive me. The villain's wife and children... are all innocent..."

"It's ridiculous!" The general's face was livid, and he snapped, "Even if you have all kinds of helplessness, who is that person? He is the left wise king of the Huns! This time he just came here for personal grievances against this general. , if he coerces you to harm our Daqing country and overthrow our Central Plains community, then what will you do to bear the consequences!"

"General..." Seeing that the general's eyes were red, Xiaobai quickly tugged on the general's sleeve, secretly dissuading him.

The general glared at him very dissatisfied, took a deep breath, and then angrily fell silent.

On the other side, Xu Xiuping was originally imprisoned in this dark place in a weak and weak state, and he didn't know the whereabouts of his wife and children. In fear, he was reprimanded by the general, and immediately maintained his kneeling posture and lost his voice. burst into tears.

Xiaobai has been with him for a long time these days, and he already has some friendship. Seeing him showing such a helpless look, although he feels somewhat alienated and resentful in his heart, he can't help but have some thoughts of hurting others.

"Don't be like this," he glanced at the general, and said sadly, "General...the general said it a bit more seriously, didn't this all happen..."

The general stood behind him, and when he heard this, he snorted disdainfully.

Xiaobai lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "I also know that you are forced to do so. After all, compared with people who have never met before, naturally your wife and children are more important, so it is me. If you encounter such a It's probably the same thing..."

"Ma'am..." Xu Xiuping wept sadly, "The villain is guilty, and the person I am most sorry for is you. I only hope that you...you can forgive me, a sinner..."

"Don't be like this, I..." Xiaobai couldn't bear it, his brows tightened again and again, and finally he turned his face away, "I can understand your difficulties..."

He looked at the general who walked a few steps away, looking like he had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to deal with it at all, and flashed back to the general's face that he had never seen before, and never wanted to see again paleness and forbearance.

Xu Xiuping and his wife and children are very pitiful, but... why must he and the general bear this kind of pain?He can put himself in his shoes to understand his helplessness, and even make the same choice as him, but in the final analysis, he did not do these things.

Moreover, since you have done something that hurt others, isn't it reasonable to bear all the consequences of your own choices?

"I can understand you," Xiaobai said, "but I will never forgive you."

"Ma'am..." Xu Xiuping raised his head with tears streaming down his face.

"So many people who do bad things have reasons and are very pitiful,
