Chapter 4
Chapter 4
The imperial capital, the palace of the capital.
The moonlight passed through the air hole and projected onto Quan Xi's face, a pair of absent-minded eyes stared blankly at the door.A row of black dots moved slowly, extending from the bottom of the door to the upper gray wall, like a line drawn with an ink brush, twisting and twisting unyieldingly, and finally disappearing in a certain gap.
A nest of moving ants, I saw them often when I was a child, moving from low-lying to high-lying in rainy days.
It seems that tomorrow is another rainy day!
Quan Xi laughed silently, in the same prison cell, the ants are freer than others; no matter how dignified they are in front of them, if they are domineering and domineering, once they are thrown into this place, their fate will be worse than those ants!
The iron door, all of a sudden, opened!
A pair of boots appeared, even in the dim light, you can still see the polished leather and exquisite binding.
Looking further up, it is the man's slender legs, reserved waist, well-proportioned chest, sexy neck, perfect chin, exquisite facial features, and bundled brown curly hair, shining like satin...
A good-looking man, but let the eyes of those admiring him freeze on the corners of his eyes and brows. The cold and stern look there can freeze an elephant in an instant!
"I know you don't have amnesia, so tell me, what exactly do you want?" The man in the shadow was very calm, he came here for negotiations late at night, calm, elegant and firm, as if there was no price in the world that he couldn't afford.
Quan Xi glanced at him, then looked again, slowly withdrew his gaze, looked at the crack in the corner of the wall, and murmured: "Who are you? I don't know you..."
"Stop acting!" The man said coldly, and threw a jade pendant, which was similar to the jade pendant on the other party's neck, and said coldly, "Before you speak again, please think about its owner!"
The jade fell to the ground and broke into two pieces. Quan Xi looked at it in astonishment, and finally raised his head again, looking at him in disbelief. Is this still the person he loved so humblely and desperately?
Soon, Quan Xi's astonished gaze moved behind the man, his expression becoming more and more stunned!
The man noticed something strange, turned around abruptly, and raised his eyebrows in surprise; Kaiser was standing by the door, leaning on a famous and expensive cane, who had been here for some time!
The four eyes met, and they were speechless.
Boat girl, boat girl, bends the crescent moon, shines on my hometown, I borrow your handkerchief to wipe it, friends from afar want to come back; boat girl, boat girl, bends the big river, circles my hometown, borrow your boat to cross, friends from afar I want to come back; boat girl, boat girl, bend the harp, play it all over my hometown, let me lend you a hand, and my friends from afar want to come back...
The hazy boat ballad floated across the palace of the capital, passed into the small cell, and echoed in the ears of the three men. The indistinct phonology aroused their different moods!
In the end, Fei Yi walked out, only Kai Ze and Quan Xi were left
"It's him, right?"
Kaiser looked ahead, not at the man beside the bed, and his indifferent voice seemed to be questioning the prisoner, but even more like asking himself, is the person he saw just now really a close friend for many years? !
How many years?Only at this moment, I hate to see that familiar face!
Quan Xi didn't speak, only picked up the broken jade pendant after Kaiser left, and held it tightly in his palm until blood gushed from his fingers.
The cell was too dark, even the guards outside the door couldn't see his injured hand, but what hurt more than the hand was the heart, for the mother, for that person, for the unspeakable past...
Outside the walls of the capital, the night wind was blowing, a stern back, reflecting the bright moon in the sky, was so lonely and lonely.
Without any entourage, Fei Yi stood with her hands behind her back, until the sound of footsteps came from behind, and said calmly: "The Bucha faction is almost over, and so are Xi Mo and Meli, the queen and the three elders, and they are ready to change their troops! Now not only the Busha faction Shayi faction, even Yucheng Baiwei and the others are looking for an opportunity to crush me, do you understand the seriousness of the situation?"
"..."
"I can't give them any chance. I don't need your approval, but I need your support. If you still treat me as your friend, don't ask about this matter!"
"..."
"Why don't you talk?"
"what do you want me to say?"
"Are you going to give up your friend for a death row prisoner?"
"Friend? Do you still consider me a friend?"
"..."
"Yi, the position of deputy commander-in-chief is so important that you kill someone?"
"I didn't want to kill anyone, I just wanted to put him to sleep, so that things would be simple, no one can make a fuss about him!"
"Really? In my opinion, it's easiest to report the truth. Why do you hide it and even drug that person..."
"Hahaha, you are so naive! When something happened to the general's mansion, those people wanted to slander me, but they were suppressed by the former king. Now that the former king is gone and the dynasty has a new owner, who do you expect to protect you? Who can listen to your dissection? Tell the truth?"
"Facts are facts. The former king was able to discern loyalty from traitors, and I think the queen can also make a clear judgment. What's more, there are several auxiliary ministers. Those people who want to discredit you may not be so easy!"
"So what if the queen is wise? I was betrayed by the lieutenant general and even lost my evidence. Just because of the inappropriate employment, I can't be promoted to the lieutenant commander!"
"..."
"Besides, he is already a death row prisoner in Dijiao, so he doesn't care about being charged with an extra charge. Could it be that you still want to reverse the case for him?!"
"After all, you are afraid that he will hinder your promotion!"
"Have you ever been on a battlefield? Have you ever seen a dead person? Behind this prosperous age of peace, who is not defended by force? You talk about nobleness in front of me, but have you ever thought about who will protect you? You have offended many people, but No one dares to touch you, do you think they are all subdued by your nobility?"
"you……"
"If I were only a general, how many soldiers and horses could I lead and how many lives could I save? How far can you and I go on this road full of thorns? If I am promoted to deputy commander-in-chief, how many subordinates can I command and how many lives can I save?"
"..."
"Can't you answer it? Then let me tell you that in the position of deputy commander, it is only a key step to save a few more people and lead more troops...Kaiser, you should understand that only by becoming the commander-in-chief Only by holding the imperial military power in your hands can we protect you and me, and go further on this bloody road!"
"If the direction is wrong, no matter how far you go! I know that without your protection, I may not be able to see the sun tomorrow, but I don't want to see you use disgraceful means, just like Li Peisijia back then, on this road Go farther and farther, and finally run in the opposite direction..."
"So in your eyes, what I did was actually the same as his..."
The angry person suddenly laughed, laughing so dark clouds covered the bright moon, and the sky was cold and drizzle; in the past two years, in order to protect his friend, Fei Yi, as a general, concentrated all his hatred, offended many people, and captured him. How much resentment and resentment was in himself, and in the end he got these words from his friend, which made him breathless, and his chest hurt like a tear!
Seeing the opponent lose his composure, Kaiser was stunned for a moment, and wanted to reach out to touch him, but Fei Yi turned around and let him go.Kaiser rushed to nothing, stopped his hands on the spot, stared blankly at the other party, but felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
The raindrops were getting heavier and heavier, and his clothes were soaked, Fei Ji stood there in a daze, and listened to the other party's earnest persuasion: "Yi, you still treat me as a friend, so let go!"
let go?It was time for him to let go and unload the long-standing burden; under the gaze of the other party, Fei Yi was in a daze for a while, then slowly turned around and left step by step.
Behind him, someone seemed to be calling his name, but the familiar voice was too unfamiliar to be recognized!
How many acquaintances and acquaintances paid for a night of cold rain; how many lofty ambitions, in exchange for him to be dripping; all the way to each other, but looking back, he became a stranger; the footprints on the road are still there, but the figure of the person in the rain is getting farther and farther...
Wing, hurry up, I want its fur as a gift for my aunt!
Ze, Ze, stop chasing, it's getting dark...
No, it's a swamp!Wing, I'm stuck, come and help me!
Ze, don't move around, grab my hand!
got it... got it...
God, it's so heavy, I can't pull you! ! !
Woohoo, I shouldn't be chasing the white deer. Is this the punishment given to me by the forest god?
Don't cry, I won't leave you, we are good friends!
Wing... I'm breathing... so hard... so cold so cold...
Ze, don't sleep, work hard with me! ! !
Wing...I seem to see...the god of the forest...he came to take me away...
Ze, I will never let go...I won't let him take away...my best friend!
The night rain was pattering, blurring the footprints on the road. Kaiser, leaning on a cane, still stood in the rain, watching the direction where the man disappeared, his eyes full of conflicting emotions.
The childhood memories erased the fear, leaving only a sentence that echoed in my ears for a long time that I can't forget──My best friend!
What is sharing weal and woe?If a friend who has fallen into the quagmire is powerless to pull him out, should he be ignored, or should he sink with him?
The rain stopped suddenly, and Kaiser turned his head subconsciously. He saw the attendant holding an umbrella and opened his mouth to say something to him. He could only vaguely hear vague words, which could not form a coherent meaning...
When he came back to his senses, he realized that he was walking back to the cell, and the prisoner was lying on the bed with his back to the door, defenseless.
If this page is torn off, will the world be peaceful?Fei Yi took the position of deputy commander, and the friendship that was almost broken can be maintained for a long time, even closer than before? !
By chance, Kaiser retreated from the attendant, put his crutch by the wall, and walked silently, grabbing the man's neck.
This is his territory. After strangling the other party to death, he lied about his sudden death from illness.In order to prevent the spread of the disease, the corpse was cremated overnight. Even if someone suspected it, what would he do without evidence?
If you want to do it, you have to be clean and tidy, but Fei Yi is not ruthless enough, that's why he's in today's trouble!
The cell was silent, but Quan Xi's hands, which were poured with strength, gradually and gradually loosened without any struggle!
Kaiser sat down on the edge of the bed with a dull expression. After a long silence, he said, "I know you're awake, why don't you struggle?"
The person on the bed did not speak, and the long eyelashes drooped, not wanting others to see the despair in those eyes.
There was confusion in front of him, as if he was walking in the fog, Kaiser's brain was fuzzy, his wet clothes were cold against his body, and those hands that were dangerous to kill were even more lifeless at the moment, as if the blood had been sucked out of his body!
Why can't I do it?Why not struggle?What went wrong?
Just in the midst of chaos, the faint tone came, as if I had heard it a long time ago, but because of the deep impression, I have never forgotten it!
"Hey, hey, why did you bring me here? Shouldn't you go to the police station?"
"Congratulations, the police station dare not take you in for the case you committed!"
"Oh, I see, this is a VIP cell, no wonder it looks more serious!"
"Guest? You think this is Maru Senlo, do you want me to serve you order?!"
"Thank you. I'm not in the mood. The VIP cell is still a cell. As long as the word cell is used, it doesn't match my temperament!"
"..."
"Hey, do I have a relationship with the prison? Why did I go around and go around, and finally entered here?"
"Have you said enough?"
"Brother jailer, I want to ask one more question, when will the higher authorities interrogate me?"
"Looking at you like that, it seems impatient?"
"Yeah, I have a grievance, and I am waiting to appeal!"
"People who come here, who is not crying for injustice?"
"Ah? Everyone is crying out for injustice, so don't you have to queue up? I don't have that much time, why don't you let me go back first, and send someone to the mansion to arrest me when your chief is not busy?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? When you want to leave this place, you can leave if you want?"
"Hey, save you a prison meal, I can go back to the Ya mansion to rest!"
"Still thinking about the Ya mansion? But the one who stole the carriage, I heard that the mansion is stunning, Mr. Ya who has only recently become popular!"
"Is he beautiful? It's just that he has long legs and a slender waist, which is nothing special; I heard that the adults in the capital are not bad in appearance, and they are called the lame handsome man in the imperial capital!"
"You are so bold, slandering the adults, the crime is aggravated!"
"Hey, it's just chatting, so how about not talking about the adults, but just talking about the Ya mansion?! In my opinion, this card should be the master of the shark. The tufted chest hair is infinitely charming, and even the body odor under the armpit is so irritating!"
"Are you joking?" The jailer was obviously puzzled. The newly arrested suspect not only had a strange appearance, but also a strange taste!
"Hey, I'm sincere. Please tell the jailer brother that I will go to him when I get out of prison, and tell him to wait for me when I come back!"
"You're looking for death, I..." the jailer said halfway, but suddenly his expression tightened, and he bowed his face behind the suspect, "My lord..."
Although the light on the wall was dim, the suspect's face could be seen clearly. A face with delicate flower tattoos was not good-looking, but his eyes were unusually bright. He boldly stared at Kaiser with a warm smile in his eyes. .
It wasn't that guy, Kaiser was exhausted, glanced indifferently, and walked over with a stick.
The jailer bowed his head respectfully to see him off, and was terrified of being frivolous just now.In the eyes of grown-ups, a place like Ya Mansion is really a place of filth.
The suspect smiled brightly, blinked his eyelashes mischievously, and said happily: "He is your lord? Great, I have a place to pay for my grievances!"
Kaiser stopped and stared at the man.That stern face is like an iceberg fossil; a pair of stern eyes make people feel chilly!
Usually at this time, not to mention the prisoners, even the jailers dare not say anything, but when they meet someone who is not afraid of death, he still teases with a flirtatious tone: "Hey, hey, why is the expression on your lord's face at this moment uglier than a widow's face?"
The cell was silent, and this time not only Kaiser, but also the jailer and his attendants were staring at the man.How dare to use the face of a widow to describe the CEO, this guy doesn't want to live anymore!
"What?" The man didn't realize it, blinking his innocent eyes, and said indifferently: "Did you use the wrong word? Isn't it widow face to describe those ugly people?"
The corner of Kaiser's mouth twitched, he squeezed the jeweled cane tightly, took a deep breath, eased his facial expression, and said coldly: "Who?"
This question is not about the suspect, but about the attendants behind him. Most of the cases that can be directly imprisoned in the capital and supervised by him are major cases!
The attendant showed a strange expression. He had just reported this matter, and he thought that the lord came to the prison cell, firstly, for the death row, and secondly, to interrogate this person, but judging by the expression of the lord at the moment, he seemed to be completely ignorant, and said suspiciously: "My lord , the suspect in the murder case... You ordered the patrol room to bring the suspect to you, and you have to supervise the case yourself!"
In the interrogation hall, the lights were bright. Kaiser was sitting behind the table, holding on to the quill, and looked coldly at the suspect. The latter had been freed from the shackles and was flexing his wrist. After a long while, he asked, "Who are you?"
The man raised his eyebrows, smiled brightly, and said leisurely: "Your Excellency thinks who I am, but it's good to be at ease, don't say it, because that name is still on the wanted list!"
The other party was so frank that Kaiser was stunned. He stood up instinctively, with a sharp look in his eyes, and warned: "You, don't mess around. This is Gyeonggi, you are not allowed to be presumptuous!"
The man grinned, opened the jade fan leisurely, and joked: "Your Excellency is so nervous, if outsiders hear it, they will think that I am plotting against you!"
With such frivolous words, before Kaiser could get angry, he heard a strange noise outside the door, as if someone was running away in a hurry.
The man smiled, waving his fan smoothly, his dark eyes rolled restlessly, and jokingly said: "Tsk tsk, hearing the footsteps, you can tell that it's a low-level bastard..."
"..."
"Kaiser?" The man raised his eyebrows, cast a strange look, and said in astonishment, "Are you... all right?"
Kaiser was stunned for a few seconds, and then realized that he was shivering, his teeth were chattering; he was soaked in rain for a long time, his boots were full of water, his feet were soaked in cold water, and he didn't change his clothes when he turned around. The air is chilly, and I can't escape a serious illness!
In the next second, Kaiser forced himself to calm down, suppressed his physical discomfort, and said solemnly: "Thank you, I'm fine! I don't care who you are, please give me a reasonable explanation for tonight's behavior, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, I can't leave, can I?" The man closed the jade fan, with a smile that was not a smile, and said kindly: "Kaiser, I'm not a murderer, you should know that!"
Kaiser raised his eyelids, looked directly at the man with a serious expression, and said clearly: "So I just ask you to explain the purpose of your trip!"
