———————————————
After staying in Yecheng Guanshi for eight days, the ninth emperor Fu Li was taken to Sikong Mansion to meet Sikong Yuan Shao.
At this moment, in the inner courtyard of the palace, less than a hundred steps away from Sikong Mansion, Li Zhi, wearing a black cloak, sat on the ground, drinking and drinking at his own leisure.
Soon, half of a jar of wine was drunk, and with a slight creaking sound of the door, a white-faced man flashed into the room, and poked his head out to look out the door. After confirming that no one noticed it, he quickly closed the door.
Then he leaned behind the door and patted his chest gently and let out a long sigh: "Huh! It's too dangerous, the commander should leave earlier, otherwise he will be discovered by the guards sooner or later!"
"Leave?" Li Zhi pondered, lifted up the black veil at the front of the cloak, revealing a cold face that looked like a smile and was full of disdain.
He raised his hand to signal the man to come forward and sit down. Li Zhi said indifferently: "When everything is done, I will leave without you urging me, and I will not want to stay here for a moment. But whether to leave or stay is not up to me now, but depends on when you get things done, and then I will take you away from here. It's that simple, and this is also the purpose of my trip."
The man's expression changed when he heard the sound. His cheeks, as fair as a woman, showed a melancholy look on his face. He cried and begged in a low voice: "Please don't force me. I have been serving him for more than ten years. How can I harm him? What's more, he regards me as a father and is still a child who is not yet worthy of his title. How can I kill my child with my own hands?" After speaking, Li Zhi looked blank and calm, as if he was indifferent.
The man with white face was bitter. His eyes were extremely lonely and he continued to beg: "The old slave knew that the commander was also a poor person. He had experienced the warmth and warmth of the world since childhood and was bullied. Therefore, the commander should know that no one could be ruthless. He lost his mother since childhood, and it was the old slave who raised him as a human being. Now it was more than a dozen colds and heats. He finally hoped that he would grow up, but the commander wanted the old slave to end his life with his own hands. How could he bear it? How could he do it?"
Li Zhi looked up at the man with a bitter look on his face and said softly: "It seems that the lord is right. You are indeed still in a state of conscience. It is worth Li's personal visit."
"Uh? What does the commander mean? I don't understand?" The man looked stunned and asked in a low voice.
Li Zhi said without hesitation: "Before coming, my lord said that you are kind-hearted and have a conscience, and are not a traitor and evil person. So he ordered me to come to Yecheng to pick you up, otherwise your life will be unsuccessful and you will die without a place to bury him. But all this has a prerequisite, that is, you must do this. Otherwise, Li is not here to save you, but to send you on the way with him." While speaking, Li Zhi poured a cup of wine. Before he finished speaking, he ate it and drank it all, without any drops, and there was no trace of wine at the corner of his mouth.
"This" The man looked pale when he saw this, his whole body was trembling, and his two trembling trembled. If he hadn't held the desk tightly with both hands, he would have almost collapsed and fell to the ground.
After a while, he came to his senses and looked at Li Zhi with a blank expression with anxiety, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm his mind. After a while, he said with a chance: "The old slave is not afraid of death. If the commander wants to take the life of the slave, he will do whatever he wants. He only wants the commander to let him go. He is still a child, and he is seriously ill in bed. Please show mercy and spare his life? The old slave knelt down for the commander and begged the commander to give up his hands and let him go!" As soon as he was short, the man knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Zhi in front of him repeatedly.
Li Zhi's face was still unchanged, and his heart was still beating and narrowed his eyes and looked down at the man on the ground. A trace of unbearableness flashed in his eyes, but it flashed without a flash. The expression on his face had not changed at all, and he was still as cold as ice, silent.
"You should know that this is irreversible. No matter how you beg me, it is useless, because I can't make a decision. However, I want to remind you that the mission delivered by the Lord must be completed, and no one can violate it, and you and me are no exception."
After saying that, Li Zhi sighed secretly and said indifferently: "Actually, the lord did not force you to do this. You originally had many opportunities to choose, either leave the palace and return to your hometown in Lintao to be a rich man, or go to the general's mansion to serve the lord or the lord's wife, but unfortunately you gave up.
In fact, without me explaining too much, you should also know your own situation, guess the mission you shoulder, and know what you will do in the future. Over the years, you have cleaned up the eunuchs, servants, maids and concubines in the palace five times, but you are always safe and sound. Even when General Li Jue deducted the cost of the palace, your salary was still a lot, including wealth and wealth, and you are inexhaustible. As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days, you are now the one who serves the lord.
When you are strong, if you insist on refusing, this general will consider you as a member of the second wife, and will not make things difficult for you, and you can spare your life. But from now on, you will no longer be a member of the lord's command, your clan members and relatives will no longer enjoy any care, and all the property, fertile land and family resources under your name will be confiscated. In addition, the Dong clan will no longer have your name, and from now on, you will be a lonely ghost. In a hundred years, no one in this world will know that there was someone like you."
"No" The man with white faceless face screamed in dismay, collapsed on the ground, tears flowing, as lonely and helpless as if he had lost his parents.
Seeing this, Li Zhi stopped talking and took out some things from the sleeve bag and placed them on the table. Then he took out a small black tip that was only the size of a walnut from his arms, and placed them together with the things in the sleeve bag.
After doing this, Li Zhi stood up and lifted the man from the ground with one hand. After sitting firmly with fear, he raised his eyes and saw a stack of things on the table.
"Ah!" In a scream of abrupt voice, he grabbed the golden long-lived golden lock placed on the table, opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "Where did you get this golden lock?"
Li Zhi seemed to have known that he would have this question for a long time, and replied casually without thinking: "Where is this golden lock from? You should know better than me. This is a royal royal object. Why did it appear in your hometown in Lintao, and it was hanging around the neck of a thirteen-year-old boy. Oh no, to be precise, he is fifteen years old this year. He will grow up in two years. In fact, these things were already in my hands two years ago when you left Hangu Pass. At that time, I entrusted Military Advisor Jia Xu to give you a bag. I believe you won't forget it?
During the more than two months you followed Dong Cheng and others to burrow the forest, you should have experienced the importance of this pack; neither poisonous snakes nor beasts will hurt you. Because the bag on your back is soaked in a special liquid for half a year, there is a special smell on it. You can't smell it yourself, but all animals can smell it and will not get close to you. It is even more impossible to hurt you. So neither you nor him were disturbed by poisonous snakes and beasts, but other soldiers and officials were not so lucky. More than 50% of your group were buried in the jungle."
Listening to Li Zhi's narration in his ears, the man with white faces could not help but think of the night before leaving Hangu Pass. Jia Xu found him. He smiled and gave him a bag, saying, "The weather has changed recently. Zhongchangshi is thin, and there are two pieces of clothes to change clothes in the bag. I hope Zhongchangshi will be with him in case of emergency needs. Some small gifts are not respected, so please accept it." He did not think much at the time, so he happily accepted it. When he fled from Loudiyuan the next day, he left in a hurry and left the bag in the tent. Unexpectedly, the soldiers accompanying him brought it to him, and he kept carrying it on his back since then.
When he was in the jungle, he had time to open the bag and check what was inside. As Jia Xu said, there were only two clothes and a piece of resin-shaped incense as big as a thumb. The two clothes, one was a brocade robe, which was very exquisitely made and looked familiar. Unfortunately, the white face was not needed. The man did not remember who sewed the clothes at that time. The other one was not a clothes, but a soft golden silk armor, which was extremely rare and could be encountered. A small piece of incense was also extremely precious and fragrant, and seemed to be extremely rare. It seemed to be extremely rare to get ambergris. It can drive away mosquitoes, smoke clothes, or apply them directly on your body.
In the end, only one of these three things fell on the white-faced man without a beard. He deliberately concealed it. This was the soft armor of gold wire. He had been wearing it close to his body, so he was not discovered by Liu Xie, and Liu Xie took the brocade robe and incense for himself.
For more than two months in the jungle, everything was as Li Zhi said. He stumbled in the jungle with his bags all day long. Others were bitten by mosquitoes and miserable. Many soldiers were bitten by poisonous snakes and died. Some even died of death by sneak attacks by beasts in the middle of the night, but he had nothing to do.
There were neither mosquito bites nor poisonous snakes. Once he walked past the tree branch, two poisonous snakes wrapped around the treetops suddenly fell from the tree and hit him, but they did not bite him, and then ran away in a flash. In addition, wherever he rested, there was not even an ant within five steps, let alone mosquitoes.
Therefore, he may be the most comfortable one of the group's escapes. Apart from the harder travel and occasionally starving, he has almost no worries and no worries to be bitten by poisonous snakes or attacked by beasts. In addition, Liu Xie, who was with him, also benefited from it, without mosquitoes or poisons; otherwise, with Liu Xie's weak body, it would be difficult to walk out of the jungle alive.
"So it turns out that all this was carefully designed by you. It's incredible, you're so scary!"
It was not until this moment that the man with white faceless face suddenly realized that he thought that escaping Chang'an was due to luck. Now it seems that everything is under the control of General Li Li. This,,, is too incredible!
While sighing and marveling, the man suddenly remembered who was the extremely familiar brocade robe. It was sewn by his mother stitched stitches. No wonder it seemed familiar and looked so familiar. Before he could be amazed, he thought of another extremely important thing - Xiangxiang. Liu Xie's illness this time was caused by the precious ambergris.
Last winter, Liu Xie cut the incense piece that he had never been willing to use and put it in the incense burner. That night, he was fierce and fierce, and with Fu Shou and Concubine Dong, all night, and the night was full of wind until dawn. Since then, Liu Xie has a special liking for the incense. Every time he is happy, he always cut a small piece and put it in the incense burner. The fragrance fills the entire bedroom, making him extremely excited. However, he is extremely happy and sad. The incense is used up in only four nights. From the fifth day, Liu Xie is listless, has lost appetite, and is drowsy, and then becomes more and more serious, so that he is now lying on the couch all day and can only force-fed ginseng soup to prolong his life, just like a living dead person.
"What is that incense? Why can it make people fall into a coma and wake up sometimes, and finally become unconscious?" The white-faced man looked at Li Zhi with horror and asked in a deep voice.
Li Zhi said expressionlessly: "You and him have seen each other with their own eyes, and they are frightened by this kind of thing. He is even scared to pee his pants because of this."
"I've seen it all, so scared?" The man pondered casually, then suddenly opened his eyes wide, and said in horror: "You mean the poison dragon! The cold pond dragon hunted by the general when he traveled to Jingzhou?"
Li Zhi looked indifferent and whispered: "To be precise, it should be the oil outside the poisonous capsule under the poison dragon's belly. The real ambergris is fragrant, but also a fatal poison. This poison is unique in the world and has no cure to cure. So far, only the miraculous doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji can treat it. In addition, the poisoned person will surely die!"
There is a small piece in the black brocade bag on the table. If you take it back and put it in the incense burner, Liu Xie will wake up immediately, let him take a last look at the world of the Han Dynasty, and then walk his life safely in the carnival of lust. Even if you don’t want to do this, he will die, and he will die in his sleep. If you light an incense for him, he will wake up and die in his romantic life."
The man with white faceless face said in a resentful manner: "He has already done this, why don't you let him go and insist on putting him to death?"
Li Zhi frowned and said in a very cold tone: "Because he is the emperor, the only orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty, he must die! Even if I don't kill him today, others will get rid of him in the future. Instead of letting him die in an unknown way, it is better to let him be a man and die in a gentle country.
As the saying goes: If you die under a peony flower, you will be romantic even if you are a ghost. He is cowardly and cannot revive the Han Dynasty. He will enjoy the joy of the world before he dies, and will eventually become the title of a romantic emperor. How to make a decision, you choose yourself, everything is on the table, and close the door before leaving. Remember, you only have two days to wait for it, and you will bear all the consequences yourself!"
After saying that, Li Zhi grabbed the wine jar, opened the curtain, and strode into the inner room.
"How could a poisonous dragon like this? Is it a poisonous dragon emperor? God will not protect you, and I am a great man!" The white-faced man was not needed. Oh no, it should be the Zhongchang servant Dong Hong picked up the things on the table and stuffed them into his arms. While walking out, he sighed unconsciously. He pushed open the door open and walked out in a daze. After walking more than ten steps, Dong Hong retreated, carefully closed the door, and then walked away with a hunched body.
