Xinlu wants to die.
I thought I had met an adult and could come to Xianyang City to show off. Who would have thought that that gentleman would actually bow to a merchant named Huai Guzi.
During the day, I had just had a quarrel with my cousin and threatened to expel him from the ancestral hall. Who knew there would be no place to stay at night. The people in Shangjun Courtyard had no intention of taking him in, so Xinlu had to follow Wang Laoshi back to the wine shop in despair.
Xinlu was lying on the bed, tossing and turning. Just as he was about to fall asleep, another group of soldiers came and arrested all the people in the wine shop.
My new shoes are a bit boring, this day has been too stressful.
Wang Li looked at the new shoes kneeling on the ground and said lightly: "Your cousin is smelly and hard. I guess you are about the same?"
New shoes make no sound.
Wang Li exclaimed: "Okay, you're quite brave."
But when he looked down, he found that Xinlu was shaking all over, his face was pale, and he was too frightened to speak.
Wang Li was a little helpless and said to Sanhu, "Go and ask him."
Sanhu agreed and took Xinlu to the yard. After a moment, Sanhu said excitedly: "It's already been done."
Wang Li rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "This night is destined to be a sleepless night."
…………
At the same time, Li Shui got up sleepily, looked at Li Xin in front of him, and said helplessly: "Will we let anyone sleep this night?"
He looked out the window. It was already dark.
Li Xin poured himself a glass of wine: "Brother Huai, do you still want to sleep?"
Li Shui said calmly: "Why am I not in the mood to sleep?"
Li Xin sighed and said to Li Shui, "What happened to your relative from Chu today?"
Li Shui felt a little headache.
Li Xin added: "Chu Kingdom Game? Brother Huai, do you think I, Li Xin, am an idiot? I can tell at a glance that you want to kill him."
Li Shui said helplessly: "I really didn't kill anyone. If you don't believe it, just search here."
Li Xin smiled slightly: "Of course I believe you didn't kill anyone. However, you had the intention to kill him, right? Can you tell me why?"
Li Shui was a little hesitant.
He and Li Xin are close friends and can trust each other with their lives. Logically speaking, you should tell him this kind of thing and listen to his opinion.
But... if Huaiguzi rescued Li Xin in the first place, it was a play arranged by Xiang Liang. So can this relationship survive?
Seeing that he was silent, Li Xin couldn't bear to push him too much, so he took the initiative and said, "I failed in the attack on Chu and was once hunted down. That man's name is Xiang Lian."
Li Shui was startled, and then smiled bitterly: "It turns out that Brother Li knows him."
Li Xin added: "This man is a rebel and has always wanted to assassinate Qin. Brother Huai, are you friends with him?"
Li Shui categorically denied: "How is it possible? If I were friends with him, I wouldn't kill him."
Li Xin asked again: "Do you have the intention to assassinate the emperor?"
Li Shui continued to deny categorically: "Assassinating the emperor, what good will it do to me? To value justice over life, to win the reputation of a warrior? Brother Li, do you think I am a person who cares about reputation?"
Li Xin laughed loudly and said: "Brother Huai is not an assassin, so it's okay. Even if I risk my life, I will save you. But... why did he come to your door?"
Li Shui said casually: "Perhaps he wanted to win me over because he saw how prosperous I was in Xianyang City. But I didn't agree. I wanted to kill him because I was afraid of trouble. Of course, I didn't kill him either. , let him escape. Brother Li, don’t believe any rumors in Xianyang City in the future."
Li Xin said: "This is natural."
Seeing Li Xin believing in him deeply, Li Shui couldn't bear it.
He hesitated and said vaguely: "Brother Li. I can't remember some things about Chu Di. Maybe I had some contact with the necklace before. But now, absolutely not. Or in other words, I have It’s not the Huaiguzi it used to be.”
Li Xin looked at Li Shui deeply for a while and said faintly: "Whether you are the former Huaiguzi or not, you once saved my life. The grace of saving my life will never be forgotten by Li."
The two of them picked up their wine glasses at the same time and drank a drink.
Li Xin may be a little reckless to achieve the position of a general, but he is definitely not stupid. Li Shui estimated that Li Xin had already guessed that it was no accident that the two met each other back then.
But Li Xin's words also showed his attitude. No matter what, Huaiguzi is his savior. In fact, this is indeed the case. Regardless of whether it was arranged by Xiang Liang or not, if Huaiguzi did not show up at that time, Li Xin would undoubtedly die.
With Li Xin's words, the two people understood each other's thoughts. A good friend, still a best friend.
The two of them drank until daybreak. Suddenly, Cano came in with a woman with tears on her face.
She's the proprietress of a wine shop.
The proprietress made a plop, knelt down in front of Li Shui, and said with choked sobs: "At three o'clock last night, General Wang Li led his men to arrest my husband. I happened to go to the toilet and escaped. I waited at the city gate until dawn, There is nothing we can do. Sir, please save my husband. Among the princes and nobles of Da Qin, you are the only one I know."
Li Shui was startled and asked, "Why did Wang Li arrest Wang Laoshi?"
The landlady said: "It seems that I want to ask about a case."
Li Shui stamped his feet: "I understand, this happened because of me."
He shouted loudly: "Master Cang, prepare your horses, I'm going to Wang Li's house to ask for someone."
Li Xin said: "Wang Li is a martial artist, so he may not be reasonable. Brother Huai, I will go with you."
Li Shui nodded: "It's the best."
The two people rode fast horses and arrived at Wang Li's mansion.
Li Shui stepped forward and banged the door loudly.
The old slave guarding the door opened the door a crack and said impatiently: "Master is not here, please come back another day."
Li Shui didn't waste any time and kicked him out. The door was kicked open with a bang. The slave was lying on the ground, screaming in pain.
Li Shui jumped into the yard and shouted: "Where is Wang Laoshi?"
Wang Laoshi did not show up, but a few servants came out carrying sticks.
Li Shui took out the gold medal for immunity from death in his arms and shouted loudly: "I have the gold medal for immunity from death. Anyone who stands in my way will die."
At the same time, Li Xin drew out his sword, looking like a murderer.
The servants were startled and stepped back one after another.
Li Shui drank again: "Where is Wang Laoshi?"
A servant said cautiously: "After dawn, Wang Laoshi and his men were all taken to the palace by General Wang."
Li Shui and Li Xin looked at each other, with one thought in their minds: "Too bad."
At this time, Wu Jiao burst in panting: "Sir, you are really here. Something bad has happened. Just now I went to deliver steamed buns to the palace. I heard that Wang Li has reported the crime of treason to you. I went there in a hurry. When Shang Jun reported the news, Cang Fu said, you are here."
Li Shui cursed secretly: "I have always been the only one who conspired to rebel, and now someone actually dares to frame me?"
Li Xin whispered beside Li Shui: "Brother Huai, don't worry, the necklace has disappeared, and there is no proof. You just have to insist that it has nothing to do with the other party. Wang Li can't do anything to you."
Li Shui nodded.
As long as Xiang Lian is not around, all Wang Li's accusations are just speculation. Of course I'm not afraid.
Now Li Shui was thinking about how to kill Wang Li.
If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid that thieves will miss you. If you don’t get rid of this person, it will be a disaster.
