feud

Standing on the city wall, Sun Li saw Cen Li's figure from a distance, and called Gao Yue and Zhong Yi to go down to greet him.Liu Huiye also followed.

"Your Highness." The three shouted, reluctantly not to look at the sleeping person on the quadricycle.

"Yes." Cen Li agreed.

Cen Li: "Block the city gate, have our news been released? Shangdang County, I remember that the person in charge is called He Lianyu."

Liu Huiye: "The news was released half an hour ago."

This time Pingyang has been won, and the Chu army is still very strong. They must secretly connect all the dismantled forces, so that it is possible to bring down Chongyan.

Cen Li took the medicine from Wang Bing's arms, handed it to Sun Li, and said, "Well, just wait. Also, send someone to Runan and ask Mo Wankong to do his best to cooperate with Han Kuang and hold him back. Chongyan."

Liu Huiye: "Yes."

Cen Li: "The people in the city regard the Chu army as evil spirits, and it is expected that no one will rebel against us. You and I will go to the West Market later. Even though the city gate is closed, the business cannot stop. Helian Yuruo has arrived , send someone to tell me immediately."

After finishing speaking, Cen Li went to take care of the king's illness, and the two went up to the tower.Cen Li came down and walked with the four of them, and also took away Liu Huiye who had trouble walking.

A few people wanted to walk on the deserted street. Gao Yue walked and saw a drum on the side of the road. He looked around and found no one, so he picked it up with peace of mind.He opened his voice: "Fathers, folks, don't be afraid, come out, we are good people, we will not hurt you. Hey, hey, come out! Everyone, listen to me."

Sun Li: "..." Why are you shouting so skillfully.

Cen Li mercilessly snatched the gong from Gao Yue's hand, and said to Sun Li, "Who is the most prestigious in the city?"

After thinking for a while, Sun Li said: "It's Zhuang Mingchen! He is a well-known rich man in the county. He is willing to do good, and often donates his money to help the poor. Your Highness, I know where his house is! Although he is from Jie, he has helped a lot. Hu people and Liang people. Originally, rich people naturally deal with rich people, but he is different, there are even eminent monks and beggars from the Western Regions in the mansion."

Cen Li: "Well, let's go."

"Do you want to lead soldiers?" Gao Yue said suddenly.

"We are not going to rob, nor are we going to force the palace. Sergeant and virtuous corporal, put virtue first, and threats and lures with swords, guns, swords and halberds later." Cen Li glanced at Liu Huiye, and said: "There was such a big commotion last night, who is holding the knife?" Presumably they already understood that it would be a kind of intimidation to show their identities. On the contrary, it would be another matter to bring a sword.”

Zhong Yi repeatedly nodded in praise, although he couldn't understand.

-

The mansion is not big, and it can be seen that the owner is very low-key.The door was closed tightly, Cen Li went to knock on it, and soon someone opened it, asking who they were looking for.

Cen Li: "Liu Huaxin, Prince Zhao, has heard of Mr. Zhuang's name for a long time, and wants to admire his demeanor. It would be offending to come here uninvited. Please let me know."

The servant was not surprised at all, he just said "hmm" and said: "Guests, please come in, my master has been waiting for a long time."

The courtyard is not big, and the layout is ingenious. After walking across the small bridge of flowing water and a short detour, several people arrived at the main hall.Cen Li looked inside, and a middle-aged man in a blue silk pleated hakama also saw him, and when the two of them met their eyes, they knew who the other was.

Zhuang Mingchen hurriedly stepped forward, made a salute, and said: "I have admired the crown prince's name for a long time, please accept my respect."

"It doesn't have to be like this." Cen Li helped him up without asking him why he knew his identity. "I heard that there are many guests in Mr. Zhuang's house. The news must be well-informed. It really is so."

Zhuang Mingchen hurriedly said that he didn't dare to act, he politely invited several people into the main hall, and naturally Cen Li took the main seat.

Businessmen are like this, following the trend, the change of dynasty is just another object to obey for them. This is nothing more than two results. One is to win the happiness of the new king and continue to develop the family business; enemy.Obviously Zhuang Mingchen was the former.

"Forget about the wine, it's a waste of time." Cen Li said politely to Zhuang Mingchen, Zhuang Mingchen understood, and immediately winked at the servant serving the wine, and they slowly withdrew.

Cen Li: "Thinking about what happened last night, my husband already knows about it. I won't go around the bush anymore. I don't know if you will... help me?"

The other three stared at Zhuang Mingchen.

"Your Highness is the face of heaven and man, no one dares not to surrender."

"I don't need to say these words. I have fallen to this point, and I can have a place to live. I have to thank Uncle Zhuang."

"Uncle Zhuang?" Cen Li called him.

Zhuang Mingchen trembled all over: "I dare not be a minister."

Cen Li said lightly: "Don't be nervous, Zhuang Bo..."

Zhuang Mingchen: "Your Highness absolutely cannot do it!"

"Okay, Zhuang Mingchen." Cen Li said: "I like a saying very much, it goes like this, 'He who understands the current affairs is a hero'. Now that Chongyan is going south to attack the Liang Dynasty, he was appointed as a teacher in the name of unifying the world. In just half a year, on the surface, millions of teachers threw their whips to stop the flow. But how many people actually followed him? Although the Liang Dynasty retreated to the left of the river, the centipedes died but not stiff. World War."

Zhuang Mingchen noticed the "noble man" he said sensitively, and thought to himself.

A businessman cares about profit, talking about nonsense friendship is the most useless, and Cen Li and him have no friendship to talk about, so analyzing the advantages of the situation and wooing him is the best strategy.

"What Your Highness said is true." Zhuang Mingchen said respectfully. "Your Highness is willing to condescend to come to the minister's house. It is a great honor for the minister. The minister will think clearly about what His Royal Highness means. It's just that there are dozens of pairs of eyes on the minister, and this decision cannot be made by the minister alone."

Cen Li licked his lips, and said: "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. Zhuang Mingchen, this fisherman can do it, and the benefits are immeasurable." From the corner of his eyes, Liu Huiye seemed hesitant to speak, and Cen Li said: " What does Uncle Wu have to say?"

Liu Huiye first shook his head helplessly, got up and said: "I heard that Duke Zhuang's love is in her boudoir, and I don't know the position of queen, can Duke Zhuang be satisfied?"

Cen Li: "..."

The expression on Zhuang Mingchen's face was like ice shattering and the spring breeze blowing back to life, he pondered for a long time, and prostrated himself on the ground, "I wish to help Your Majesty enter the Central Plains!"

Cen Li: "..."

Liu Huiye killed two birds with one stone, he not only broke Cen Li's absurd idea of ​​having a male queen in the future, but also hit Zhuang Mingchen's heart.

If Zhuang Mingchen didn't promise some benefits first, I'm afraid he wouldn't express his opinion.

Cen Li showed a rare smile, obviously fake, and said: "Then I want 10 taels of silver, [-] stones of iron, and [-] armored soldiers, how about it?"

Zhuang Mingchen's smile froze, he didn't expect Cen Li to suddenly open his mouth like a lion, and both silver and iron were easy to talk about.Where can I find ten thousand soldiers?You know, the emperor hates the people forming a party the most. Is he doing this to openly rebel against Chongyan?

However, if Cen Li really overthrew Chongyan, the position of empress and head of state would be so alluring...how can it be measured by money...

-

After returning, Cen Li saw He Zhinian who was stopped outside by the soldiers as expected, Liu Huiye suddenly said that there was something urgent, and was forcibly pulled back by Cen Li.

Cen Li walked up to He Zhinian and saw that he was tied up like a caterpillar and thrown in a corner. His eyes were red and he looked haggard, and his shoes were worn backwards.

He Zhinian knew it was him when he heard the footsteps, and said viciously, "Where is he?"

Cen Li answered irrelevantly and asked, "If you take him away, do you think he will be happy?"

The two communicated in Liang language, and only they could understand each other at the scene.

Zhong Yi: "His Royal Highness, where are you going?"

Liu Huiye's footsteps stopped, and even Gao Yue could see that his back was a little stiff.

Even if He Zhinian could only look up and look up, he would not be outdone, "It's better than suffering with you."

Cen Li squatted down, untied his rope under everyone's surprised eyes, and said, "He's in the tower, you go to him, and...if he wants, then go far away with him."

He Zhinian moved his arms and legs, looked up at Cen Li, and left without hesitation.

-

He Zhinian traveled unimpeded all the way, and when he came to the city tower, the first thing he saw was Gongsun Cao, and then he walked up to Wang Bing as if he hadn't seen it.

Wang Bing had already woken up and was reading a book. When he saw He Zhinian, he smiled.

"My lord." With tears in He Zhinian's eyes, he threw himself on Wang Bing's lap, choked up and said, "You don't tell me if you want to leave, and you leave me alone in the Hu thief's house, do you know how scared I am? ?”

Wang Bing stroked his head tenderly.

He Zhinian raised his head and said suddenly: "Let's go, don't stay here anymore, leave here and go back to our home."

Wang was sick, and he didn't know where to put his hands, hanging above He Zhinian's head.

"Let's go—" He Zhinian elongated his voice, "This place is full of corpses and soldiers with knives. How could I beat so many people by myself? So, do you know why I can come to see you?"

Wang Bing smiled bitterly in his heart.

The tears that had just been wiped away poured out again, and He Zhinian cried: "That prince, he asked me to take you away. He doesn't want you anymore. He said he asked me to take you far away, son! Let's go!" --OK?"

He doesn't want me anymore... If he doesn't want me anymore, is there still a place for me in the world?Where else can I go...

"...No." A rough and hoarse voice came from Wang Bing's throat, as if one word burned his entire life, like the last words of a dying person, decisive and hurtful.

Wang Bing saw despair in He Zhinian's eyes, but even so, he would not change his mind.

no way.

He Zhinian could never understand Wang Bing's thoughts, he knew it from the first time he saw Wang Bing, he knew it was not because he was young and not well-informed, but because he didn't understand love.

He Zhinian put his hand behind Wang Bing's ear, this action was too intimate, Wang Bing subconsciously wanted to hide, but He Zhinian was relentlessly chasing him.Gongsun Cao couldn't stand it anymore, he came over and grabbed He Zhinian's hand, and said, "You want to knock him out before taking him away? Are you crazy!"

He Zhinian yelled angrily, "I'm not crazy! You dog that wags its tail at the thieves! Go away!"

Gongsun Cao was said so more than once by him, and Wang Bing heard it, but he couldn't bear it, and retorted: "You... Xi, he doesn't want to be with you anymore. You took him away by force because you want him to hate you." Do you? Be sober! Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

Wang Bing's eyes were full of accusations, he only now knew how dangerous it was just now, he thought that He Zhinian was going to hug him, it's not like he had never been hugged by him before, if he didn't hide, he would be on his way!

When He Zhinian saw Wang Bing's eyes, he immediately stopped scolding Gongsun Cao.Big tears fell down, wet the quilt, he spoke incoherently, and stammered: "Master, I... I'm doing it for your own good, you see that you are like this, he made you like this... I won't hurt you , although I am still young, but I will protect you, I will treat you well, better than he treats you!"

It wasn't his fault... Wang Bing wanted to talk, but he could only think, his throat hurt like a fire.Drowsiness came back again, this is a problem he often suffers from after treating his legs, and he found that this is beyond his control, just like knowing that he must never close his eyes now, but his eyes become blurred uncontrollably , He Zhinian could still clearly hear He Zhinian calling him anxiously, and felt his body become very light.

"I... won't go." The consciousness was completely out of control and sank into the black pool.

This seemingly abnormal drowsiness made He Zhinian startled, thinking that he was out of breath like he was lying on the cold floor before, and he tried to test his breath with trembling hands, it was weak and irregular, but at least he still had breath exist.Wouldn't it be just what he wanted, He Zhinian lifted the quilt, trying to hug him up.

"What are you doing?" Gongsun Cao took care of him all afternoon, got used to him falling asleep so suddenly, and hurried over to stop He Zhinian.Just kidding, if Wang Bing loses a noble feather, Liu Huaxin doesn't know what he will do to Chongxuan and his son.

He Zhinian supported Wang Bing with both hands, and could only cast his eyes at Gongsun Cao, cursing, "Go away! Running dog!" He turned around and let him lean on his back, and stood up.

"You will regret it, Xi. Take him away, and when he wakes up, I'll see how you face him!" Gongsun Cao stopped in front of He Zhinian, "He said he didn't want to leave, you should respect him, Xi, You will only make him hate you."

Cen Li had arranged the accommodation for the cavalry, and just as he walked to the door, he happened to hear Gongsun Cao's words.There was a burst of warmth in my heart, followed by unbearable heartache.He walked in and saw this scene - Gongsun Cao stopped in front of He Zhinian, who was carrying Wang Bing, and tried to persuade him. He Zhinian was facing the door and saw Cen Li.

Gongsun Cao also turned his head, knowing that there was no use for him, so he stepped aside.

He Zhinian sneered and said, "Gongsun Cao, you are really a loyal dog of the barbarians!"

"Maybe I'm really a barbarian reincarnated." Gongsun Cao said with self-mockery.I thought to myself that you already know who I am anyway, so what’s the use of talking more.

Cen Li saw that Wang was sick and unconscious, and asked Gongsun Cao, "Why hasn't he woke up yet?"

Gongsun Cao: "Woke up a few times, and just fell asleep again."

"He Zhinian, let him go." Cen Li said coldly.

"You backtracked!" He Zhinian knew it in his heart, and couldn't help crying, "There is only one person who treats me well in this world, you are the prince, you have thousands of people who are heartbroken for you, I don't, I Only him, can't you give him to me?"
