Chapter 24 Sui Zhu

The spring rain is like silk, pattering, moistening things silently.The mountains and rivers are picturesque, the world is full of poetic and picturesque, and the first spring rain is coming in the shade of the mountains. Cen Li is awakened by a passing villager. When he wakes up, he sees the chaos of the world. When I got up, I saw a villager with white beard and hair. All kinds of trances yesterday were like a dream. When I woke up from the dream, I was alone and lonely.

Jiankang was bright and beautiful in spring, with a hundred flowers blooming and the fragrance soaring to the sky. This was Wang's fifth day of illness in Jiankang. In the dark and humid Tingwei Prison, the whip had just left his body.

When Liu Pi escorted him back to Gyeonggi, he sent him to the Tingwei. The second uncle didn't see him, and no one came to ask about the edict, so he threw him in Tingwei's prison and fed him torture every day.

On the night of the fifth day, Wang Bing was unconscious wearing a blood-stained prison uniform. Suddenly, water was poured from the sky on his head, and the wine entered the open flesh with a sharp pain. Wang Bing opened his eyes and saw a beautiful woman in white at the prison gate.

One is as high and pure as white clouds, and the other is as humble as mud.The uncle and nephew hadn't seen each other for several years, and they didn't recognize each other for a while.

Wang Hong asked the jailer to retreat, leaving him alone. Recently, too many people came to the palace as guests. Wang Hong was too busy to figure out the direction, his eyes were dark, and he took time out of his busy schedule to see his nephew. Checking his injury, he said in a trembling voice, "This... obviously not, it's not me..."

Wang Bing's hands were dirty and he didn't dare to pull Wang Hong's white clothes, so he had to reach into the air and make a fist, but Wang Hong grasped Wang Bing's hand, his eyes were venomous to see what Wang Bing was afraid of, and said, "Wait a little longer, Your Majesty." Let me tell you over there, I will never let our Wang family suffer such humiliation!"

Wang Bing was not afraid of being humiliated, and he had been in exile for a year without suffering. When he saw Wang Hong's eyes similar to his father's, he was filled with grief and indignation, and said the first sentence: "My father...he is not a traitor! "

The prison uniform was torn and stuck to the bleeding mouth. Wang Hong touched Wang Bing's messy hair, knelt in front of Wang Bing's stone collapse and cried: "Qing'er... good boy, you are suffering, I failed to protect you... your father It was my fault that I failed to receive you in Jiankang when I was alive."

Wang Bing still smelled bad, and he was even more embarrassed after being splashed all over with bad wine.Three months after the establishment of the new dynasty, he came to arrest him. During this time, Wang Hong must have been dealing with it. He was so moved that he barely propped himself up, and his dark face burst into a smile: "Second uncle, you... get up, Zhe Sha Little nephew."

Wang Hong was afraid that he would affect the wound, so he had to stand up, helped him to lie down, and said, "I'll let the imperial doctor come, you wait a little longer."

"No..." Wang Bing knew that the emperor couldn't tolerate him now, and he didn't want Wang Hong to fall out with the emperor and break the only pillar of the Wang family. , can you help me...help me find out his whereabouts, I'm afraid he..."

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll send someone to investigate right away, and the imperial doctor will come right away, just bear with it." Wang Hong patted Wang Bing's shoulder comfortingly, turned around and was about to go out. He shouted back and continued: "As long as he is safe and sound, I can rest in peace. Second uncle, I lied to them. There is no edict at all. Don't go. Even if the imperial doctor comes, he can't save the person who was cut in half."

Wang Hong was shocked: "There is no edict? It's the third brother..." It seemed that the third younger brother's foolish and loyal wood destroyed the edict, and then he smiled and said: "That's just right! Then your majesty can rest assured, I'll go talk to your majesty Intercede, he didn't intend to kill you at all." If he wanted to kill him, he wouldn't keep Wang Bing alive until now.

Wang Bing really didn't have the strength to talk for too long, so he gasped for a moment before he said, "Second Uncle, I don't care if I die, but that man, he saved me... I don't want him to die. Can you get me a piece of paper and a pen? You take With the portrait, help me...help me find him, can you?"

From the first bad meeting to the present, the two aliens had different opinions and different personalities, and lived and died together. Wang Bing was grateful to him from the bottom of his heart. If it wasn't for Cen Li, he would have died under Liu Pi's arrow long ago, but he himself As a result, Cen Li lost his friend. If Cen Li had been willing to listen to Tu Ya's words, he would have bid farewell to Xiaoliu's family, so what would happen later.

Therefore, only knowing that he is safe can this broken body rest in peace and the soul be liberated.

If he dies, he will not be reconciled even if he dies.

Wang Hong found him, and suddenly someone said at the prison door: "Prime Minister, Gu Siquan is at the gate of the palace and said he wants to visit you."

Ting Wei's prison was extremely guarded, and the man was dressed in coarse cloth and green clothes, and he could come and go freely, which shows how afraid Ting Wei's people are of offending Wang Hong.

Wang Bing: "Second Uncle, you go back first, and you can pick it up after I finish the painting. There is no rush." ​​Painting seems to take time, and besides, his left hand is not flexible now, and it is even more difficult to paint on the uneven rocks.

Wang Hong waved the man back, and continued: "I will come to see you tomorrow, just bear with it, and I will definitely rescue you."

Wang Bing reminded: "Second uncle, the head of the Gu family is the old minister of Wu, you have to be more careful."

Wang Hong knew this. When Emperor Wu destroyed Wu, the people of Wu were worried about the revenge of their country. Their northern clans were not welcome in other lands, and they needed to rely on the prestige of the Gu family in Jiangnan. This was actually tantamount to conspiring with tigers.

After Wang Hong comforted him a few more words, he left in a hurry. Wang Bing knew that he had many trivial matters, so he stopped talking and watched him leave.Spread out the paper and start rubbing the ink, carefully recalling the appearance of Cen Li in his mind: he has a pair of sword eyebrows, and the color of his pupils should be lighter. paint it?But he seldom smiles, and when he doesn't smile, he doesn't look good to anyone...

Sure enough, after Wang Hong came once, he didn't need to be whipped anymore. Wang Bing was thrown in the prison and no one cared about him, but the two meals a day were cut by more than half, and he only had two or three bites each time. I was full, and I went to bed hungry most of the time every day, and I really didn't have the extra physical strength to suffer.

Wang Hong sent someone to pick up the portrait the next day, and Wang Bing knew he couldn't get away now so he didn't ask any more questions.It was not until two months later that there was news that Wang Hong came to visit him in the prison in person. Wang Bing was still sleeping, but he woke up immediately when he heard the door open. He stared at Wang Hong for a while before he recovered, and got up quickly to salute. , Wang Hong went up to help him, the tentacles were hard bones, and said: "There is news, someone saw him in Runan a month ago, and the owner of the inn also said that he asked him about the way to Pingyang, and he probably wanted to go north. , Runan is the border between the two countries, my people can only chase him here.” Wang Hong frowned and looked at Wang Bing’s sunken cheeks, and touched his head distressedly: “Good nephew, second uncle It's useless, how can you bear this kind of pain?"

Wang Bing's chaotic eyes suddenly lit up. For the past two months, he has been afraid all the time. He is afraid that Liu Pi will go back on his word and kill Cen Li, and that Lin Yi will arrest him and return him to Shanyin. Now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Uncle." Wang Bing was in a good mood.

"Silly boy, why don't you think about yourself, look at you, what have you become?" Wang Hong couldn't help crying when he saw Wang Bing's emaciated appearance, "Be patient for a while, and wait for His Majesty to be in Jiangxi. Keep your feet firmly on the ground, and he won't think about it again, just... bear with it for a while longer."

When Wang Bing was not well, he brushed his kindness again and smiled feebly. Wang Hong has been very busy, and someone came to urge him. As usual, Wang Bing let him go at ease. As soon as Wang Hong left, Wang Bing fell down immediately. Back on the stone collapse, there is no strength to move a finger.

After not eating for a day, Wang Bing suffered from severe abdominal pain and coughed up blood. The wound on his right shoulder and neck had been bandaged by Liu Pi before, but the medicine had not been changed since then, and it had already suppurated. But my heart is nostalgic for the pleasure of this relief.

You saved me, but I hurt you. When I see Tu Ya, I will definitely apologize to him.

The slanting sun in the sky is bright red, and the residual clouds are like blood. In spring, there are fire clouds, such as a volcano below which erupts red smoke.

Even the afterglow couldn't shine into the cold Tingwei Prison, Wang Bing fought with his eyelids for a long time and finally couldn't stand it anymore, closed his eyes as if admitting defeat, and gradually fell asleep following the setting sun.

In the dream, the soles of his feet were floating lightly on the clouds, and he looked around privately and saw a figure in the distance. Wang Bing recognized his father and chased after him. He stepped on the air and fell into the abyss. catch him.Wang Bing opened his eyes in a daze, and saw a pair of light-colored pupils. It took him a while to react, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "You're here."

What are you doing here?Are you afraid that I will tell you that you are the prince of the Xiongnu and kill people, or come to me to avenge the bereaved friend?

Either way, you're welcome.

After Wang Bing said this sentence, he had no strength, and he seemed to fall asleep again when he lowered his eyes. Cen Li knocked down all the jailers when he came, and came to rob the prison in the middle of the night, but saw a man who was originally unparalleled tortured into such a state. No matter how much he hated, he could only suppress Next, carry Wang Bing on your back and leave Tingwei Temple unimpeded, jump on the roof, come to the Seventh Bridge, go north along Qingxi, cross Nanyin and Dongmen Second Bridges, and reach Beilimen.
