Prison.
The old man returned to the cell door, holding a wine bottle in his left hand and a roast rabbit wrapped in yellow lotus leaves in his right hand.
A jailer opened the cell door.
Qin Chuan and the others set the table, and the old man put the wine and meat on the table.
Several jailers walked in with a smile, entered the cell and placed the things they brought on the table. There was a small plate of peanuts, a few pieces of dried meat, and a few pieces of white flour scones.
Filling up the square table.
"Thank you brothers for protecting us three brothers and allowing us three brothers to survive four years in this dark prison. We offer you a bowl of happiness."
Qin Chuan raised his bowl and everyone followed him.
Everyone stood around the square table without seats.
Drink all the white rice wine in the bowl.
Sweet, bitter, astringent, spicy, all kinds of flavors flow in the mouth.
The old man's eyes were blurry. When he put down the wine bowl, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve without leaving any trace.
"This wine is powerful. If you drink it, the prison cannot be left unguarded."
The old man left, and the jailers followed him. The cell door was not closed, and the door could not be closed. There were many people waiting for the three of them to rush out of the cell.
Let them have open-door wine and free wine.
Qin Chuan clasped his fists, and the two people on his left and right bowed to him.
"Three brothers, thank you."
The three brothers had the best food and the most freedom in the past four years.
Soon all the food on the table was eaten.
The rice wine had staying power, and the three brothers leaned together and fell asleep.
A group of palace guards led the old man to the cell door.
The head guard frowned.
"Why is the cell door open?"
The old man hurriedly explained: "Shangguan, please calm down, I am negligent."
The guard said no more, thinking of going back to accuse him of neglecting his duty.
The three of them were set up by the guards.
Just after leaving the prison, Qin Chuan woke up with a start.
"Outside, this is outside."
Qin Chuan shouted excitedly.
"Outside, really outside."
Wang Er shouted in a confused and trembling voice.
The general who was waiting outside turned around with a look of dismay on his face. He really couldn't bear to see the hero being wronged.
The guard was furious.
"Pa, shut up, you are crying like a ghost or a wolf howling."
Wang Er was stunned and silenced by the beating, and looked at the guard blankly.
The general turned around, his eyes red.
He rushed to the guard in a few steps, slapped the guard hard on the face with a big mouth.
"Who the hell do you think you can beat him? Bang bang bang."
The general yelled angrily, waved his hand and slapped more than a dozen big mouths, raised his leg and kicked him again, and pulled out the sword from his waist to chop him to death.
The old man who followed out quickly hugged the general, thus saving the life of the guard.
The guards were beaten to a loss, and the general roared loudly: "When they climbed the tower first, you were still hiding in the city, worried that the shouting of killing was too loud."
As the general shed tears, the matter between Qin Chuan and the others was never their business.
"I didn't log in first. I don't know anything. If you don't believe me, you ask Qin, you idiot."
Wang Er was confused and agitated. The words "first board" were his lifelong nightmare.
"We never boarded first."
Qin Chuan said urgently, eager to prove their innocence and definitely not get there first.
"Yes, it's nothing. Don't frame us. Our brothers are miserable enough. Just let us go."
Sun Santubi spoke immediately.
The general's movements were frozen, and tears couldn't help but burst into tears.
The guards bowed their heads deeply, and the old man sighed sadly.
"Enter the palace."
The military commander said, as if he had lost all his strength, he led everyone towards the palace without a care in the world.
"etc."
The old man found three pairs of old shoes from nowhere.
"Put on your shoes and go."
The old man knelt down and wanted to put on shoes for the three of them.
"You dress them."
The general looked at the beaten guard with cold eyes.
The guard didn't dare to disobey, he knelt down to help put on his shoes, and seemed to accidentally bump into the old man.
The old man was knocked upside down, and he stood up and left with his hands on the ground.
Qin Chuan's eyes were piercingly cold.
"Let's go."
After putting on his shoes, the general spoke.
The three of them were sent to the gate of the palace.
The general clasped his fists and left.
After entering the palace, no big shot was seen, and they were sent to the Jiaofang Department.
In the middle of the Jiaofangsi is a large pool, which is usually used for washing people, but today it is used for washing people.
The three of them are so miserable that they cannot see His Majesty and need to cleanse themselves.
Several eunuchs carried buckets of hot water and poured it into the pool.
Pour a few buckets of hot water into the huge pool, which is better than nothing.
The three of them entered the pool.
Qin Chuan tensed up, gritted his teeth and sat into the water.
Cold and heart-piercing.
"We all listen to you."
The three of them looked at each other in the water. They must leave alive this time.
Qin Chuan nodded.
The eunuch brought yellow salt.
This is for three people to use for decontamination. Salt is omnipotent and can be used for washing and eating.
Qin Chuan picked up the yellow salt and took a lick. Wang Er bit a piece of it in confusion and ate it. Sun Santu also wanted to take a bite, but he couldn't bite it off and could only take a few licks.
After washing, the eunuch brought coarse linen clothes to the three of them. The three of them touched the clothes and felt that they would be warm when they put them on.
Li Zheng Palace.
The three of them were sent over by the eunuch.
The three of them did not dare to raise their heads after entering the Li Zheng Hall.
"See Your Majesty."
The three of them knelt on one knee and lowered their heads.
Qin Chuan sniffed hard, it smelled good.
Li Shimin couldn't bear to see the three people were so skinny and stared at Wei Zheng who was standing aside.
Wei Zheng turned his head away from Li Shimin.
Among the three, Li Jiancheng is the culprit today, and Wei Zheng is the mastermind.
He devised this vicious plan for Li Jiancheng, hoping to shake the morale of the Qin Prince's army and cut off Li Shimin's foundation.
He persuaded Li Jiancheng several times to kill Li Shimin.
Li Jiancheng had no courage and finally died at Xuanwu Gate.
Wei Zheng lives up to his name, he is upright and upright, but don't forget that he was born as a Taoist priest and followed the army in Wagang. He saw corpses everywhere, and his intelligence was comparable to that of Fang Mou and Du Duan.
"I only wish to die."
Wei Zheng's expression did not change. He did not think there was anything wrong and everyone was their own master. At this time, he still refused to obey Li Shimin and had no intention of being loyal to Li Shimin.
"Wei Zheng, you have done a lot of harm to people. Are the three of them really evil people? They have outstanding military achievements. Because of you, they have been in prison for nearly four years. Have you never felt guilty?"
Li Shimin stood up and roared in anger.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Fang Xuanling spoke hurriedly. He was afraid that Li Shimin and Wei Zheng would quarrel with each other. Li Shimin had a lot of dark history, but Wei Zheng dared to say anything.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and looked at Qin Chuan and the others.
"You are all the first to take credit. I have made you suffer."
Li Shimin's tone was sincere. He was not pretending. During the war, Li Shimin ate and lived with the soldiers.
The bodies of the three people trembled visibly.
Wang Er fell to the ground in confusion, slapping his thighs and crying: "It's unjust. The soldier has never climbed the tower. It's true."
Sun Santu Bi nodded heavily, his eyes were red, and he couldn't admit it even if he was beaten to death this time.
Qin Chuan echoed: "We saw with our own eyes that all those who climbed the tower died in battle. We have never been up there. We entered through the city gate."
If you still want to trick them, let's just dream. After suffering losses for the past four years, don't think about it this time.
"Your Majesty, let us go home. We swear to God that all those who get there first will die in battle."
Qin Chuan said again.
"Yeah."
Wang and Sun both nodded in agreement.
Li Shimin raised his head and looked at the roof of the shed. Fang Xuanling hesitated, not knowing what to say.
How can you be bullied so much that you can avoid the word "Xianden"?
The main hall fell into a brief silence, and Qin Chuan felt uneasy in his heart. The time to decide his fate was coming soon. Whether to go home for the New Year or go back to prison to wait for death, Li Shimin's thoughts were all in his mind.
"You will come first and many soldiers will see it in person. Your Majesty will definitely reward you based on your merits."
Fang Xuanling said.
Qin Chuan secretly thought that indeed, he said the same thing last time and ended up in prison for four years. This time, he could not be fooled no matter what he said.
Qin Da Fool said: "No one has climbed up first."
Wang Er said confusedly: "No one climbed up first."
Sun Santu must say: "No one has climbed there first."
The three of Qin Chuan spoke one after another with firm voices. They had already prepared to die. If they didn't succeed, they would die. They would not survive the fourth year.
