Xiao Jiming stood under the lantern with his cloak, Zhaohui behind him, and said, "It's time to come back. The person who just went to pick him up said that the young master went on his own horse, why hasn't he arrived yet."
Xiao Jiming exhaled cold air, looked at the sky quietly for a moment, and said, "In the past, when he was not happy, he had to ride his horse galloping under the Hongyan Mountains. This habit cannot be changed."
Zhaohui said, "The forbidden army is a place to go."
Xiao Jiming turned his eyes and said, "Do you know what Dad regrets the most in his life?"
Zhaohui shook his head honestly.
Xiao Jiming said: "It's just that Aye was taken too late. Three years ago, we were ambushed at the foot of the Hongyan Mountains. Before Dad's reinforcements arrived, Aye took the twenty cavalry who had been guarding him and rode across the Hongjiang River at night. , touched the quagmire for a long time, and burned Biansha's grain. When I saw him, he was stinky and dirty, soaked in the water and rotted the wound on his leg. He was only fourteen years old at that time, and I When I asked him if he was afraid, he said he had a good time. Dad often said that the Lu family is the eagle of the desert, and the Xiao family is the dog of Libei. I didn't like this sentence, but then we sent troops like dogs in chains. , no longer as happy as ten years ago. I have fought to this day, and my blood has long since disappeared. The Xiao family is not a dog, but now only A Ye still has a wolf-like nature. In his dream, he was thinking of the mountain in the north, but at this moment he Let him forget about the freedom to ride horses. I can't be sorry for him either."
Zhaohui was silent for a moment, looked at Xiao Jiming, and said, "Why do you have to belittle yourself, the prince. The prince is naturally stubborn, and he is not the one to be a defender. Whether he was born earlier or later, Libei cannot be controlled by him. The commander must With tenacity that has been tried and tested, and perseverance like a rock, the young master can't do it."
Xiao Jiming stopped talking.
The wind was so strong tonight that the lanterns shook. The master and slave waited for another half an hour, and saw someone coming from a distance.
"Sir!" Immediately, someone rolled down and said, "Sir, something has happened!"
Zhaohui immediately held the knife and said, "Where is the son?"
* * *
Half an hour ago.
Shen Zechuan was in shackles and was pushed down the stairs by Xiaoqi.
"Sing." Xiaoqi urged behind him, "Quick, sing a few words!"
Shen Zechuan said nothing and looked at the squatting person in the shadow of the wall. When he saw Haidongqing, his chest hurt, he couldn't help pursing his lips and stood in place.
Xiao Chiye said, "Let you stand over."
Shen Zechuan breathed out the heat, moved his feet slowly, and stood not far from Xiao Chiye.
Xiao Chiye got up and said, "Who is your mother?"
Shen Zechuan said, "Duanzhou Maiko."
"Let's sing." Xiao Chiye's eyes made people panic, "Shen Laogou didn't teach you, someone has to teach you something else."
Shen Zechuan ducked his head and ducked, as if he was afraid of him, and said, "...I won't."
"Look up." Xiao Chiye pushed aside the lantern with his foot, "Afraid of me?"
Shen Zechuan had to look up and smell the wine.
Xiao Chiye said, "It's okay if you don't sing, find me something."
Shen Zechuan spread his palms, indicating that he was still in shackles.
Xiao Chiye frowned and said, "Just look for it."
Shen Zechuan squatted down and grabbed a few handfuls of snow.
Xiao Chiye stared at him coldly and said, "Stand up again."
Shen Zechuan supported his knees again and stood up.
Xiao Chiye said: "Squatting up freely, legs and feet are not in the way. Is the Jinyiwei who was punished by the court stick too considerate, or is it a cheap life and easy to support?"
"Naturally, it's easy to support a cheap life." Shen Zechuan said in a muffled voice, "It's a fluke."
"It doesn't make sense." Xiao Chiye's whip touched Shen Zechuan's chest, "The one who broke the life is the one who broke your life. Your skills are good."
Shen Zechuan was shivered by the horsewhip, and became more and more terrified. He said, "Longing for a long time... just hanging on for a long time. Second Young Master Zhongyi, why can't you live with a villain like me? This is the end of the matter, you deserve it, let me go."
Xiao Chiye said, "Are you serious?"
Shen Zechuan was already forced to sob, he nodded vigorously.
Xiao Chiye took back his horse whip and said, "You can tell what you say, who knows if it's true or not. In this case, learn a few dog barks for me. Good bark, I'll let you go tonight."
Shen Zechuan was silent.
Xiao Qi was frightened by Xiao Chiye's eyes, and pushed Shen Zechuan a few more times.
Shen Zechuan turned pale, and said timidly, "... Anyway, facing you alone."
"Go away." Xiao Chiye said briefly.
Xiaoqi immediately felt relieved, and said to Shen Zechuan happily, "Go away! Let's go back... "
Xiao Chiye's eyes were fixed on the small flag, and the small flag became weak again, pointed at himself, and said, "I, I'm going to get out of here? Well... let's talk!"
He clenched his teeth into a ball, rolled a few times in the snow, and stood not far away.
Shen Zechuan was a little coy, moved closer, and whispered, "...If you let me go, will I let you go?"
The snow shavings suddenly flew up, Xiao Chiye held Shen Zechuan's arm, pressed it down strongly, with a stern face, and said, "The fox shows its tail, I think you can pretend to be a grandson!"
The two suddenly overturned on the snow, with their hands hanging in shackles, Shen Zechuan kicked Xiao Chiye's abdomen, and rolled and crawled to support himself: "The emperor ordered me to ground my feet, and the Xiao family dared to disobey the order and not take my life, After tonight-"
Xiao Chiye put on Shen Zechuan's shackles and dragged the person directly to him.
Shen Zechuan knocked on the ground, gritted his teeth and shouted: "—You are the accomplices of the Xiao family who disobeyed the imperial edict! It is not a pity for me to die, and all the banned troops will be buried with you tonight!"
Xiao Chiye stuck Shen Zechuan's throat from the back, forcing him to raise his head, laughed briefly, and said fiercely: "You treat yourself as a Jin Ge Pagoda, buried with you? You are also worthy! I will kill you like a mustard. !"
Shen Zechuan had difficulty breathing, and the shackles suddenly wrapped around the back of Xiao Chiye's neck. He tried his best to pull to the ground. Xiao Chiye didn't guard against this move, and when he raised his arm, he was kicked in the chest by Shen Zechuan, and the two suddenly rolled upside down.
"Kill me like a mustard?" Shen Zechuan bowed his head and stared into Xiao Chiye's eyes, finally meeting his eyes in the confusion, and said in a hoarse voice, "The opportunity has gone wrong, who will be the hunting dog and who will be the rabbit in the future? I don't know!"
"Who dares to help secretly!" Xiao Chiye's murderous intentions started, "I'll check one, kill one!"
Xiaoqi was so frightened by this sudden change that he rushed over to stop him and said, "My lord! Your lord must never kill anyone!"
"That's right!" Shen Zechuan said sharply, "Tonight is the second son who is going to kill me!"
"Shut up!" Xiao Chiye tried to block his mouth.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zechuan was bitten to death when he opened his mouth. He pressed Xiao Chiye's half body and bit the flesh of Xiao Chiye's tiger's mouth.
Xiao Chiye said coldly, "Do you think you can cover up the past by playing tricks? This kung fu is absolutely extraordinary!"
Xiaoqi couldn't stop him, so he hurriedly called out, "Drag away!"
Shen Zechuan seeped blood between his teeth, but refused to let go. Xiao Chiyejiu had already woken up, and after he picked him up, he led the man out. The pain at the tiger's mouth was piercing, but Shen Zechuan's eyes told Xiao Chiye to remember it clearly.
"Young Master!" Zhaohui shouted as he rode his horse.
Xiao Chiye turned his head to the side and saw that his elder brother was also on the horse. At this moment, he only felt ashamed, as if someone had stripped the skin and beat him back to his original shape.
Xiao Jiming landed on one knee, and Shen Zechuan immediately let go. Xiao Chiye's mouth was bloody and his teeth were deeply imprinted.
"Why did you move your hand?" Zhaohui chased after him and saw the injury.
"Lock people back." Xiao Jiming said in a deep voice.
Zhaohui picked up Shen Zechuan and went inside the door.
"Young master is drunk." Xiao Jiming looked at Xiaoqi and said, "Don't spread the word about tonight's incident. I will ask for the guilt from the emperor."
Xiaoqi kowtowed to him several times, and said repeatedly, "It's all up to the prince's arrangement!"
Xiao Jiming stood up. Zhaohui had already threw the man back, and upon seeing this, he said to Xiaoqi: "Tonight, all the brothers in the Imperial Army have worked hard to send the son back to the mansion safe and sound. It is not easy to guard the winter night. I invite you brothers to drink hot wine, and I hope you will not refuse. ."
Xiaoqi dared to say no, and answered with interest.
Xiao Jiming just looked at Xiao Chiye, but said nothing.
Xiao Chiye didn't wipe the blood on his hands. He wanted to say something, but saw that his eldest brother had already turned on his horse.
"Big brother."
Xiao Chiye murmured.
Xiao Jiming heard it, but he hit the horse and left.
