feud

"Your Highness? Your Highness?"

Liu Huiye pushed Cen Li, who was sleeping on the side of the couch, and it was dawn.

Cen Li didn't sleep well, and woke up soon. Seeing Liu Huiye, he pulled his hand back from the quilt in a daze.

"Your Highness, I'll take his pulse. Would you like to sleep in my room?" Liu Huiye pretended not to see him, opened the medicine box, sat on the position where Cen Li was lying on his stomach, and took Wang Bing's pulse.

Cen Li went out to prepare breakfast, and seeing the two lying in the main room, Gao Yue held Sun Li tightly in his arms, Cen Li walked over softly, Sun Li moved, but did not open his eyes.

Presumably they occupied the magpie's nest and took up all the couches in this house, but the owner of the house slept on the floor. It was really a crime, so Cen Li had to make some food to repay them.

Cen Li went to the East Kitchen, saw some raw rabbit meat, smiled slightly, and cooked some porridge, cut the meat and put it in the pan to fry for a while, and fried a side dish, this busy day was completely bright Now, Cen Li brought the tray into the main room, put it on the case, and called Gao Yue and Sun Li.

"Sun Li...be quiet, I'm sleepy."

"I didn't move...don't hug me, it's too tight...I...can't breathe..."

Gao Yue slapped Cen Li's hand away like a fly, hummed a few words from his nose, and continued to sleep.Cen Li had no choice but to put the food on the table, and brought the rest into Wang Bing's room. Before he got to the room, a voice came from the other side of the door.

"Uncle Liu, that's the way it is. I'm sorry. I failed to convince Gongsun Cao. I failed your expectations. I'm sorry."

"Good boy, it's all right. If it wasn't for your advice, we rashly went to war last night, and we don't know what the result will be. You are right, Chongming is really lucky, and he has earned a lot of favors by taking advantage of it. I would have worked hard for him. Even Emperor Gaozu wants to put him under house arrest, it seems that Gongsun Cao is really not an ordinary person, we have to make a new plan, don't mind."

"Um...well, Uncle Liu, is my body..." The voice was trembling.

"What are you talking about?" Cen Li walked in, the timing was perfect, and Wang Biao hadn't finished asking.

Wang Bing closed his mouth, his face was ashen-white, and when he saw Cen Li coming in with food, he smiled at him. Even though he looked sickly like Xizi holding his heart, Cen Li still felt that he was actually so strong that he was almost invulnerable.

Wang Bing: "I'm hungry, I'm asking why you haven't come yet. Uncle Liu is also hungry, right?"

Liu Huiye was at a loss and had to go down the ladder: "Ahahaha, that's right, I'm so hungry, Your Highness came too soon!" But he was thinking crazily in his heart: Wang Xin would ask such a question, did His Highness not tell him what he said? Tell Wang Xin?Such an important matter is hidden from him?And it was Wang Xin's own body, so he should have the right to know.

Cen Li didn't expose him, and served him a bowl of porridge, Wang Bing blushed slightly, and stretched out his hand to take it.Just kidding, there are other people here, how can Cen Li's fifth uncle see their crown prince feed him!

Liu Huiye held a bowl of rice by himself and looked at them with strange eyes. At this moment, someone else broke in, it was Sun Li and Gao Yue.

Gao Yue: "Your Highness! Have you prepared breakfast for us?"

Sun Li: "Your Highness! We are going to make breakfast for you!"

Liu Huiye: "..."

Cen Li was still holding the bowl, turned to them and said, "Go and eat."

Sun Li seemed to have something to say, but Cen Li then said, "Let's talk after dinner."

"Go, go, go, go! What are you yelling about? Get out!" Liu Huiye pushed them with a bowl in one hand, like driving cattle and sheep, "Get out! Your food is outside! Don't disturb Your Highness!"

Gao Yue is tall, being pushed by Liu Huiye, he kept turning his head and said: "Your Highness, Sun Li and I left rabbit meat for you, you can come over and eat together later! And what's that called, come together too... Strange His Highness Kang Wang Why did you push me? We didn't do anything bad."

Before Liu Huiye walked out of the room, he turned his head and squinted at Wang Bing.

Cen Li went over to close the door, and returned to the couch, Wang Bing sat up with difficulty.Cen Li took a spoonful and brought it to Wang Bing's mouth, as expected, Wang Bing didn't eat it, and asked, "Have you found Zhinian?"

This pre-dinner chat was obviously not that interesting, and Cen Li's hesitant attitude was already answering Wang Bing.He Zhinian has been missing for half a day and one night, Wang Bing regretted that he let He Zhinian come out with them, and he is powerless to change the matter of Gongsun Cao, everything seems to be developing in an unpredictable direction, like a wild horse that can't be restrained live.

Wang Bing shook his head and said tiredly: "You eat first, I'm not hungry."

"Sun Li and the others are trying their best to find it, and they will find it. Don't worry, eat first, and I will take you to find it after eating."

"You are lying to me, Cen Li. You will never take me out again. With my body, I can't go anywhere. You know better than me, don't you?"

Cen Li acquiesced again, the hand holding the spoon trembled almost inaudibly.

"I'm eating, you don't have to lie to me that you want to take me to find Zhinian, I don't want to hurt you after filling my stomach, I will stay here honestly, and wait for His Royal Highness to order, I will not do anything you want I will never be dissatisfied with resisting, even tying me to the couch to ask for it, you see, at least I am still somewhat useful, right?"

Cen Li opened his eyes wide, looking at Wang Bing as if he didn't know him, and didn't even notice the spilled porridge.

Wang Bing laughed at himself, the scar on his face wriggled like a living centipede, "Although I have become a useless person, my mind is still good. You can ask me everything, even Gongsun Cao praises me, and I can't help but fight when I am in formation." Yes, I have memorized the map of Pingyang City. Are you going to rebel in the city? Or attack from outside? I can help..."

"I don't need you to do anything." Cen Li withdrew his hand holding the spoon, and Wang Bing saw that his eyes were red.

"As long as you are by my side." Cen Li added.

After a long time, Wang Bing lowered his head, rolled up his left sleeve, revealing a visible wound, took Cen Li's spoon, and said, "But, Cen Li...you see."

The wound was like a river bed that was about to dry up, with black blood still oozing, slowly gathering into small puddles, dripping on the rough linen quilt.Cen Li was affected by Wang Bing's actions, and his thoughts suddenly returned to Wang Bing who was dying on the bed of blood that night. The unbearable past was forcibly awakened by Wang Bing's self-abuse behavior.

"Cen Li, my hand hurts so much. It hurts like someone is ironing it with a red-hot iron. My leg..." Wang Bing broke the spoon on the side of the couch, and stabbed his thigh with the sharp handle. Go, pricked and cried: "I can't stand up, Cen Li! I, I can't stand up! No pain, no feeling, no pain at all, I, me, what should I do... I can't even stand up in this room. I can't get out...what should I do..."

Wang Bing collapsed completely, hissing and crying, letting the tears wash his face, blurring and distorting the person in front of him.He already knew from Cen Li's previous reactions that he would not live long. The worst thing to do would be to close his eyes and fall asleep. In the scene of having to be supported by others, he can't even walk. How can he help Cen Li to make contributions?This made him wish he could die now.

I'm not afraid of death anymore, but what's more terrifying than death is bringing down the people I love the most around me.

Cen Li snatched the blood-stained handle of the spoon and looked sadly at Wang Bing who was trembling violently.Liu Huiye didn't say that he couldn't stand up anymore, but Wang Bing did, and it was much more lethal than saying it from anyone. Wang Bing cried and saw his eyes slashing and pulling on him like knives.Cen Li didn't think it was a big deal that he couldn't stand up, but seeing him sobbing hoarsely, it made Cen Li wish he could take out his heart and give it to him.

Cen Li pulled him into his arms, touched his back, and comforted him softly: "Hey, come here, don't cry, it's okay, I'll carry you if I can't leave, I can't wait to tie you on my back, wherever I go I’m taking you with me, and maybe it’s only temporary, if you recover and can leave in the future, I won’t let you go to the ground, be good, don’t cry, you are not allowed to say these things in the future.”

In the past, as long as Cen Li hugged him and said sweet words, Wang Bing would become very obedient, but this time it seemed that it was not so easy, Wang Bing cried even more excitedly: "As long as you get out of this room, I can't catch up with you!" You, where are you going...I can't find it, I...I will drag you down, I can't stand myself like this, you know? Cen Li, I can't do anything..."

"Then I won't go, I won't go." Cen Li hugged him without leaving any gaps, his eyes were red, and he shed tears on top of Wang Bing's head.

"You lied to me..." Wang sobbed uncontrollably, muttering to himself with his face buried in Cen Li's shoulder.

Cen Li's words were playful and rogue like a child's, but he also burst into tears: "I'm not willing to lie to you."

Wang Bing just cried, and he knew it was embarrassing, but he couldn't control it. Cen Li kept comforting him, saying that even if he couldn't walk, he wouldn't let him go, until Wang Bing's voice became hoarse from crying, and his eyes were blurred. He was swollen from crying, and Cen Li felt that he had probably cried enough.

This is the third time Cen Li saw Wang Bing cry. The first time he cried because of Bai Qingxuan's death, and the second time was the night he brought him home from the Zhu Mansion. It is human nature to be afraid of begging for mercy and crying. , and this time, his tears... finally shed for himself?

This answer is not important anymore, Cen Li just wanted to make him feel better, and said: "Changsha Huan Wang Sun Bofu led hundreds of people to repel the bandit Zulang at the age of 19, and unified the Jiangdong area at the age of 26. He is a brave young man with high spirits. However , he was attacked while hunting, and his face was disfigured by a missed arrow. It was obviously not a fatal injury, but he said——" Cen Li cleared his throat: "'My face is like this! How can I make contributions! ?' After finishing speaking, the wound ruptured and he died at the age of 26. If he did not die, it is still unknown whether the Liang State could easily take over the Wu State. "

Wang Bing didn't cry anymore, but was still sobbing. He was attracted by Cen Li's story and gradually calmed down.

"I actually don't understand. Sun Bofu is a military general, but he pays special attention to his appearance. He died because of a small flesh injury and lost his appearance. What does it have to do with making achievements? Is it the same as fighting the world? If you have a handsome face like a crown jade Men? How unfair you say, right?"

"He... because..." Wang Bing really couldn't answer what he said. It was rare for Cen Li to tell a story, but he couldn't pick up this topic. Convincing wording, so I have been thinking about it.

"You are not Sun Bofu, so you must not be able to figure out why." Cen Li's voice suddenly interrupted his train of thought, Wang Bing raised his head, his red and swollen pitiful eyes glistened like water.

Cen Li: "Wang Bing, can you understand what I mean? Don't think too much, don't learn from Sun Bofu! Whether you are disfigured or unable to walk, I will not want you, because these are not important at all!"

Wang Bing was completely stunned, but tears welled up in his eyes.After a long time, he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, he just leaned over and hugged Cen Li with all his strength.

The silence speaks.

Cen Li stuffed Wang Bing, who had calmed down, into the quilt, and took the cold porridge to warm it up.

As soon as he opened the door and walked to the main room, only Liu Huiye was left inside. He seemed to be waiting for Cen Li specially. When he saw Cen Li walking in, he went up to him and said, "Your Highness, he..."

Obviously, Wang Bing cried so hard that even Liu Huiye heard it.

Cen Li tried his best to make his voice sound normal, but Liu Huiye could tell at a glance. "Uncle Wu, he has lost feeling in his legs, and he can't walk."

Liu Huiye thought for a while before saying: "I didn't expect that I was helpless at all. He is the first patient who gave me such a headache."

After a long time, Cen Li sighed and said, "Uncle Wu, you did your best. Where did Sun Li go? Did he leave a message for me?"

"They said that the task you ordered was not completed, so they left after eating. Sun Li also said that he would go to the enemy building today to look for it, and if he has any news, he would come back and report. What task did you assign them?"

Cen Li: "Find someone."

"Well. You have always done things properly. I have to tell you that the troops from Bingji and Jizhou have been setting off for three days. The leader of the army is Chongming. He took away most of the soldiers from the two prefectures. I just found out the news yesterday. It is a good thing that Chongming left Bingzhou, so that we can concentrate on dealing with Gongsun Cao."

Cen Li let out a "hmm", and only heard the sentence "Chongming left Bingzhou".

"Hua Xin, it's not that Uncle Wu is talking too much. You really shouldn't waste your time on him anymore. You are the prince of Zhao, so you can't mess with a Liang man. Now he can't even walk. You can't Take care of you all the time, you always have to think about Sun Li, Gao Yue and the others."

Cen Li thought: Then who will think for me?But he didn't say it, just nodded.It is useless to fall out with Liu Huiye at this juncture, now that Wang Bing is depressed and refuses to eat, if he wants to think about the multiple responsibilities of a prince here, it is better to think about how to feed Wang Bing one more bite.

Liu Huiye always felt that he was too perfunctory, and said again: "Hua Xin, you are the hope of the whole clan, do you understand?"

Cen Li nodded again, thinking that dinner should be ready.

"Uncle Wu, I'll go eat first." After Cen Li finished speaking, he bowed and stepped back, went to the east kitchen to fetch porridge, and returned to Wang Bing's room.

Wang Bing was lying on the couch with a haggard face and empty eyes. Only the slight rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive.

Cen Li opened and closed the door, but Wang Bing didn't even look at him.Cen Li brought the food to his mouth, but he just opened his mouth numbly, and shook his head after a few mouthfuls to show that he was full.

Cen Li knew that he was not feeling well, so he didn't feed him anymore, leaned over and kissed him, Wang Bing's eyelashes trembled, and he didn't respond.

"You sleep again, I will accompany you." Cen Li stood up, patted his head, ate a few mouthfuls of porridge for breakfast, and put the bowl on the table.When he came back, he lay on the side of the couch, guarding his master like a loyal dog.

It took a long time for Wang Bing to react. He turned his head, lowered his eyes, and said calmly, "You can't be here, they need you."

He is just a useless person, how could he implicate Cen Li?Cen Li is the prince.

"What they need is Liu Huaxin, but what you need most now is Cen Li, close your eyes."

Wang Bing: "You can't always guard me."

"I can."

"you can not."

"can."

"Don't be so stubborn, okay?"

"I can, I can."

"..."

Wang Bing sighed, he knew it himself, he was madly begging Cen Li not to leave, but it was of no use... How could he alone possess this person who was destined to exist for others?No one allowed him to do this except himself.

He had no choice but to close his eyes. He was too tired from crying just now. Every part of his body was screaming like someone had hammered him with an awl. Only his chest felt comfortable and cold, like a flower blooming in a sea of ​​blood. Lotus, it was the jade ring that Cen Li gave him, and he always wore it close to his body.

Cen Li watched Wang Bing close his eyes, and soon there was the sound of even breathing, so he was relieved and helped him bandage the wound on his leg, and saw a shocking bloodstain under his leg.

If you hurt yourself like this without screaming, you must have lost your senses.Wang Bing just told him this fact in the most ruthless and convincing way.

Cen Li helped him bandage up, stroked his frowning eyebrows for him, and said to himself: "If you can't walk, I will carry you, if you can't move your hands, I will feed you, even if you are deaf and can't speak, I will give you a hand." Just write for you, I will never want you, don't be sad..."

Wang Bing probably didn't hear this sentence, and Cen Li wouldn't say it again in front of him, but Cen Li had his own way. If he wanted to make Wang Bing happy, he had to find He Zhinian. It's something to worry about.

maybe.

Liu Huiye said that Sun Li left the enemy building, Cen Li cleaned up the room, Wang Bing slept soundly, probably really exhausted, Cen Li helped him wipe his face and hands, kissed him on the forehead, walked out of the room, turned around Just happened to run into Liu Huiye.

Cen Li: "Uncle Wu, take care of him for me, I'll be back soon after I go out to do some errands."

"Hua Xin, you can't..." Liu Huiye let out a heavy "ah" and said, "Go kid, I'll take care of him."

When Cen Li left, only Liu Huiye and Wang Bing were left in the room. Liu Huiye opened the door and entered the room. He saw the sleeping man on the couch. His legs were bad and he walked very slowly, but he still walked to the side of the couch. He took out a small white porcelain bottle from his arms, pulled out the red plug on it, poured a brown pill into his palm, and looked at the man carefully.

He suddenly felt that Wang Xin was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, he could always feel ominous signs in Wang Xin, and he would feel irritable for no reason when he saw his face, and his surname was also Wang, which always reminded him of death. Wang Fu, the enemy of his country, couldn't explain why.But the most important thing is that Hua Xin regards him as more important than his own people. How could Liu Huiye not know?This was beyond the limit of what he could bear with Wang Xin, so he gritted his teeth and stuffed the pill into his mouth.

"I'm sorry, I can't let you harm the king of our Zhao country again. He belongs to all Zhao people who are suffering endlessly. You can't occupy him."
