At the beginning of the lantern, Liu Dan's personal guard roughly packed some food and put it on the table.
A plate of sliced braised beef, three plates of steamed buns, and a few portions of boiled cabbage.
There is no cook in the house, so the cooking method that the military man likes is naturally not on the table. The cabbage is overcooked, and there is a layer of white oil floating on it. Including Liu Dan, pick up the steamed buns and dip them in the vegetable soup to eat them.
They thought that there was a problem for these uninvited guests in the mansion, but the result was completely different from what they thought.
Although the second prince and the sixth prince frowned, they were not slow at all in stuffing them into their mouths.
Meng Qi was the one who really couldn't put down chopsticks, but the steamed buns were alright, so he and Mo Li sat beside him and slowly ate the same steamed bun—yes, it was Doctor Mo who broke it into two and handed it to him after tasting it. Meng Qi.
If you ignore the identity of the person sitting at this big table, it looks very happy from a distance.
Liu Dan ate slowly and slowly, he was almost unable to swallow.
No matter who has two princes squatting at home, a former national teacher, will be as worried as he is.
The trouble didn't stop there. There were also guards guarding him outside the gate of the mansion, as if he was going to be placed under house arrest at home.
"cough."
Liu Dan cleared his throat, and when he saw Meng Qi's eyes, the momentum that Liu Dan raised almost disappeared.
—Unlike the sixth prince, the national teacher would really break his neck.
Liu Dan is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to die at home in a vain way! He still has many soldiers and horses in Pingzhou, all the brothers and old subordinates he brought out from the battlefield in the northern Xinjiang. He can die or walk away, but what should those people do
"National teacher, I have made a decision. When the city gate is opened, I will immediately lead people to flee out of Beijing." Liu Tan simply picked up a glass of wine, put on an open-minded and fearless appearance, and said aloud, "The sky is big, where is it? No place to stay? I, Liu, don’t have to be powerful and rich, and it’s okay to be a hunter in the mountains.”
The ink carp made a move.
Speaking of mountains, he thought of Shimo Shanzhai.
The ink carp did not make a sound, but continued to eat the steamed buns.
- The Shimo cottage is very special. It gathers a group of people who were not enough to eat and were despised by others. They are very hostile to outsiders, and the ink carp will not casually tell the secrets of the cottage and the path into the mountain.
The second prince is an exception, because he may be Yan Cen's brother, and with the temperament of the second prince and his ability to distinguish the direction, it is impossible to run out of the Shimo cottage and lead people to encircle and suppress the cottage.
Liu Dan is different. Liu Dan is not alone. Even if he really doesn't want to be an official, he takes a dozen soldiers from the battlefield to Shimo Shanzhai. Is he defecting or seizing power? Even if he doesn't care, the two groups of people will have conflicts.
"The world will not be in chaos because of the lack of me, Liu Dan, the bandit general. Similarly, Qi Chao will not be able to reverse the chaos because of one more me." Liu Dan raised his glass and drank it, his expression bitter.
As a result, the two princes ate the steamed buns without lifting their heads.
Meng Guoshi stared at the other half of the steamed bun in Doctor Mo's hand.
Liu Dan: "..."
It's not that General Ben is pretending to be wrong, it's that these people are too cunning.
General Liu believed that even if he was replaced by an old official who is good at singing and writing, he would be so angry that he would smash his cup at this moment.
"Second Emperor, you must have been hungry for several days, right?" The Sixth Prince sneered when he didn't grab the dish with one chopstick.
Lu Min ignored him at all. Wouldn't it be better to eat a few more bites if you have time to talk
Most of the people who ate at the same table were from the military. When it came to grabbing food, Lu Min was already at a disadvantage.
The only thing that was not affected by the "scuffle" was Meng Qi's plate.
Seeing that the dishes were about to be empty, everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to the untouched dish. While hesitating, Lu Min made the first move, and then the scene went out of control.
Meng Qi looked blankly at the whole dish and the dishes were removed.
Mo Li watched secretly astonished, how did the second prince and the sixth prince manage to grab the vegetables while keeping their sleeves from the soup, and behave calmly
"...Lu Min, don't you hate eating cabbage?" Mo Li almost suspected that he remembered it wrong.
"It depends on who you eat at the same table with." The second prince put down the tableware and chopsticks with satisfaction, and said, rubbing his stomach.
Liu Dan, who had missed the last chopstick of cabbage, said in a puzzled manner, "Your Highnesses really have such good appetites. I didn't expect that the rough food eaten by our military men would be so rewarding."
This time, the second prince and the sixth prince were silent.
Although they had a bad life, they still wanted to save face, and they didn't want to say that when they were unlucky in the palace, eating was not much better than this. The ingredients are more expensive, there are meat and fish. When they are cold and tasteless, it may not be as good as this bowl of boiled cabbage with oily flowers.
As princes, they have eaten delicious delicacies, but when they are unlucky, they have not eaten less.
This kind of harsh treatment was not what Lu Zhang meant, it was just being neglected.
The sixth prince's mother died, and the second prince was always fined and locked up. If they were to pick and choose, it would not work either, for fear that they would not be able to live today.
"What exactly is going on with this treason in the capital?" The sixth prince glared at Lu Min.
Liu Dan heard the prestige and came over, and the soldiers also stopped their chopsticks.
The second prince was a little embarrassed. After all, he carefully planned to force the palace to rebel, but the result was a complete defeat, his subordinates died cleanly, and even the experts in the arena who were drawn to prepare to assassinate the emperor were gone. Now with a bald scalp, I follow Meng Guoshi to the general's mansion like a servant. Is there any face to say it
But no matter how faceless, it has to be said.
He said that he could still save face, but for Meng Guoshi, he was afraid that his face would be lost together.
Mo Li adhered to Mr. Qin's teaching to chew and swallow slowly, and when he finished eating the half of the steamed bun, the second prince also stumblingly finished talking about this unfortunate rebellion.
"It's all the fault of the sky!" Lu Min slapped the table angrily, and complained, "It's so good, a black dragon suddenly appeared in the sky, and another golden dragon appeared, and then the fight was violent, and the rain poured in the blink of an eye. Just like that, he followed his father closely. The emperor began to mobilize the imperial guards to block the gates of the city, causing this king to rush to revolt."
"What else?" Liu Dan was shocked.
The sixth prince was also skeptical and sarcastically said: "What kind of golden dragon and black dragon, it is probably a cloud in the sky! The emperor must have noticed something, so he took advantage of the situation as an excuse to force you to throw yourself into the trap."
Lu Min jumped up and said angrily: "The two dragons that are obvious, hundreds of thousands of people in Taijing see it really, if you don't believe it, go out and ask someone, and see whether you are ignorant, or this king is talking! "
The two obvious dragons: "..."
Afraid of what to do, Liu Dan tentatively asked, "Have the doctor ever seen a vision?"
General Liu chose to ask Mo Li because he knew that Mo Li was good at talking.
The corners of Meng Qi's lips have a shallow smile, his eyes are sharp, and he has an expression that anyone who dares to ask will be sent on the road. Liu Dan is not stupid.
"I didn't... see it that day for some reason."
Mo Li's face was calm, and he said lightly, "I heard that there is a vision of auspicious clouds in Shangyun Mountain. Maybe this time it will be the same. It's nothing unusual."
Lu Min's eyes were about to pop out. Isn't it unusual that the two lifelike dragons fought each other that day
"The doctor didn't see it, but the servants in General Liu's mansion always saw it."
The second prince couldn't bear the idiot's eyes from Lao Liu, so he insisted on proving the unusualness of the vision.
There are two kinds of servants in the mansion. One is specially responsible for taking care of the mansion. They are sent by the Changqiu Supervisor, who is in charge of the royal internal treasury. Here comes the servant.
In order to prevent the news from being leaked, Liu Dan ordered the former to be imprisoned early in the morning. At this time, the people who were called for questioning were all disabled and had nowhere to go. 's old subordinate.
When it comes to the dragon in the sky that day, their spirits are lifted, their eyebrows are beaming, and they are more exaggerated than the second prince.
"That black dragon is about to shred the golden dragon. The two dragons are intertwined with their heads and tails, their sharp claws touch each other, and the fight is in full swing... General, will this be a sign of chaos in the world and the battle between Qi and Chu?"
The ink carp pressed his chest with internal force without a trace.
— so embarrassing that he almost hiccupped.
I just ate half a steamed bun and didn't drink a drop of water.
Just thinking about it, Meng Qi handed over a cup.
Mo Li raised it subconsciously, frowning randomly.
What is in the cup is not tea, but wine, and the most famous burning knife in frontier and Pingzhou. The alcohol is extremely strong, and it feels choking just by smelling it.
"It was wrong."
Meng Qi delivered another cup of white water at the right time.
In addition to burning knives, Fenjiu could not even be found in the general's mansion.
"How can there be a dragon?" The sixth prince muttered to himself, clenching his hands.
If the fortune of the country is a dragon, is it possible that his father really has the protection of a dragon
The sixth prince dragged the second prince and asked anxiously, "What is the situation in the palace now?"
"Didn't you run out of the palace? You don't know that?" the second prince said angrily.
"I don't have time to run, what else can I find out?" The sixth prince is also wronged, if there is time, there is a chance. Will he go to the general's mansion instead of looking for the prince
Lu Min rolled his eyes, cut out what Meng Qi said these days, and showed it off.
The emperor was seriously ill and was in bed. Several Zaifu of Wenyuan Pavilion took control of the government and wanted to push the third prince to the throne. Therefore, the search in the city is not strict now, but the court will soon set off a big wave, and the civil and military officials will turn. Consider allegiance to the new king.
"Wait what are you saying? Your Majesty is seriously ill? Why is he so ill?"
The second monk Liu Tan couldn't feel his head. He clearly remembered that Lu Zhang was in good health, and it was impossible for him to be so angry with his son.
At this time, Meng Qi answered lightly: "Oh, I called it."
Everyone: "… "
Meng Qi pointed at the second prince and said, "The assassin he was looking for, I disliked his poor martial arts skills, so I killed him, and then went to find Lu Zhang. When the emperor found him, I found that without Lu Zhang, the Qi Dynasty would be better. I had no choice but to beat people up and left helplessly."
The sixth prince stood up abruptly, and before he could speak, Mo Li said slowly, "Besides, the prince has something hidden in the palace that he intends to give to the sixth prince."
"What is it?"
Everyone spoke in unison, and Lu Min's voice was especially loud.
Mo Li suspected that after telling Lu Min, the second prince was going to grab the sixth prince and fight again.
Just after eating, it was not suitable for such a fight, so Mo Li swallowed back what he was going to say, first said the prince's condition, and then said the hidden dangers of the second prince.
"Healing the second prince for a period of time, and after the improvement, I will leave Taijing with Brother Meng..."
"No, doctor! Is my eldest brother really ineffective?"
The sixth prince looked at Lu Min with a complicated expression, but he couldn't let go of the prince.
Mo Li pondered for a while, and then said: "Prince's illness can only be temporarily relieved by internal strength, it is not good to say that he can live for a few days. Now the chaos in Taijing is frequent, and if he does not die in one day, the courtiers can't justifiably push three times a day. The prince ascends the throne."
"The third one!"
Lu Min and the sixth prince gritted their teeth uncomfortably.
"No, I want to enter the palace!" The sixth prince stood up, "This king cannot let those people's conspiracy succeed!"
Liu Dan drank the third drink, and then reminded: "Your Highness forgot, Your Majesty is only injured, is it okay?"
"Then kill him!" The sixth prince blurted out.
Liu Dan and the guards: "..."
Finally deceived the prince's truth.
"It seems that the crown prince can only sit on the throne!" Liu Dan smiled bitterly. Before seeing these princes, he didn't know that the sick and crooked prince of the East Palace had such a great ability to subdue his younger brothers. .
"A dying person, how to be an emperor?"
"The doctor said that there is a way to relieve internal strength. If the prince can train his internal strength, how long can it last?"
Mo Li was stunned when he heard the words, and he couldn't help thinking for a moment before he hesitated: "Actually, I have been thinking about this for more than three days. The prince has never learned martial arts, and now that he is terminally ill, he will not be able to learn. If there is a blood connection People close to you are willing to give up all the internal strength you have cultivated so hard to protect the last breath of vitality in the heart and lungs. But if you do this, you may not be able to save the prince's life, it's just possible. Even if you succeed, the disease will still be It won't be relieved, it's just dragged, how long you can live depends on the will of God..."
"I can!"
The sixth prince said with bright eyes.
Mo Li looked at him and said after a while, "Your martial arts are too low."
Meng Qi entered the secret through voice transmission: "Could it be that you want to say Yan Cen..."
"No, Yan Cen himself has a different body. He relies on internal strength to sort out the meridians. How can this be accomplished?" Mo Li rejected without hesitation.
"So, the prince is really helpless?"
"This... Unless Lu Zhang still has a prince who lives abroad, he has also learned a good martial arts, and he is willing to give up his martial arts for the prince."
I also know that there is no such person in the world.
Meng Qi sighed and stopped talking.
