When I woke up early the next morning and sat up, I saw the curtains on the big bed were drooped. Through the curtain, I could vaguely see Fang Yi and the little princess sleeping together. Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan quietly opened the door. As soon as the door hinge chirped, Fang Yi woke up and said with a smile: "Brother Gui... Good morning to you, brothers." Wei Xiaobao said: "Please call me good brother." Fang Yi blushed for a while and whispered: "Good brothers, you are younger than me. I call you good brothers. Is that okay?"
The little princess also woke up and asked: "What are you two talking about so early in the morning?" Wei Xiaobao said: "We didn't sleep all night, and the two of us talked quietly all night." He yawned, clapped his lips and said: " So sleepy, so sleepy. I'm going to sleep." He stretched again. Fang Yi said: "What can I say to you? How can we talk all night?"
Xiang Yan said with a smile: "Miss Fang, write a letter and we will give it to your Senior Brother Liu. Only then will he believe us and go out of the palace with us. Otherwise, he insists that he is Wu Sangui's man and refuses to go out. That will be troublesome." That's it." After saying that, he found Hai Dafu's pen, ink, paper and inkstone, polished the ink, put a piece of white paper on the small table, and pushed it to the bed. Fang Yi sat up, took the pen, wrote a few lines on the paper, folded the paper into a square, handed it to Xiang Yan, and said, "Please...please give it to him."
After Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan went out, they went to the guard room. The leader on duty in the guard room had now been replaced by Zhang Kangnian. Seeing the two men arriving, Zhang Kangnian hurriedly greeted the general, winked, and walked with the two men to the side of the rockery. He asked in a low voice: "Two father-in-laws, how do you want to administer the medicine?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Brother Zhang, please send someone. Go to the imperial dining room with a message and ask the dining room to send two banquets to the table, saying that it is me who invited you all. I will add medicine to the wine and food." Zhang Kangnian said happily: "My father-in-law also enjoys the wine. As long as it's me. If you can eat and drink with your father-in-law, you won't have to worry about shortcomings in your life."
Xiang Yanqi asked: "Brother Zhao, didn't you tell me?" This is a guillotine, what's so happy about it? Zhang Kangnian said: "I told you. After the assassin escapes, we guards are afraid that our lives will be lost. I also want to thank the two father-in-laws for reminding me, otherwise I, the guy who eats, will probably move without knowing it." Xiang Yan asked "Have you thought of a way to escape?" Zhang Kangnian said: "I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."
The three of them returned to the guard room and came to the hall where Liu Yizhou and the other three were tied up. After not seeing each other for one night, the three of them were mentally exhausted. Although they were not tortured anymore, they had not seen food or drink for two nights, and even the toughest men could not withstand it. The seven or eight guards guarding the hall all greeted Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan with very respectful expressions.
Zhang Kangnian said loudly: "Eunuch Gui is enjoying the wine, please quickly set up the tables and chairs." The guards were overjoyed and were busy arranging the arrangements. Wei Xiaobao said: "Put the banquet in the prisoners' hall. Let's enjoy ourselves and make these three damn assassins jealous and greedy." After the banquet was set, Zhang Kangnian suddenly held his stomach and shouted: " Oops, that’s not good. Eunuch Gui, I’m so unhappy, I’m afraid I won’t be able to enjoy your banquet.” Wei Xiaobao said, “Brother Zhang, what’s the matter with you?”
Zhang Kangnian said: "I have some diarrhea. I went to the toilet eight times last night. I just went to work today. This is the third time I have to go to the toilet." Xiang Yan smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, you are not feeling well." , then you go back and have a good rest, your health is important. Next time Xiaobao invites guests, you can drink a few more drinks." Zhang Kangnian nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said: "Yes, yes. Next time when Eunuch Gui enjoys the wine , the villain will definitely not return until he is drunk." He then said to the guards: "I am not feeling well today, so I will go back first. You guys should keep a good watch and don't slack off." All the guards said: "Yes, yes. Boss, are you well? If it's important, just go back first. We'll be fine here."
Wei Xiaobao said loudly: "Your Majesty has decreed that these three rebels are committing treason. Immediately behead them in public display. Go and get some food and wine so that they can eat well, lest they die of starvation." All the guards agreed in unison. . Wu Lishen said loudly: "We died loyally to King Pingxi, and our fame will last forever, which is ten thousand times better than you beasts who serve as slaves for the Tatars." A guard picked up his whip, whipped it away, and cursed: "Wu Sangui, this Anyone who rebels will be killed in a blink of an eye." Liu Yizhou looked excited, his eyes were raised to the sky, his lips were trembling slightly, and he didn't know what he was saying.
The guards came in with three large bowls of rice and three large bowls of wine. Wei Xiaobao said: "These three rebels were so frightened that they wanted to behead their heads. They were afraid that they would not be able to drink wine or eat food. The three brothers had to work harder. Feed them two sips of wine each, but not more. Drink. Just feed them this big bowl of rice. If you are drunk, you will not know the pain in your neck when you kill your head, but it will be too easy for them. When they went to the underworld, they saw three drunkards in the king of Yama, and they were very angry. Each drunkard will be beaten with three hundred military sticks first, which will hurt them again." All the guards laughed and fed the three of them wine and food.
Wu Lishen drank heavily and ate heavily, looking at ease. Ao Biao took a mouthful of rice and cursed: "You dog slave." Liu Yizhou's face turned pale and he couldn't swallow the food. He couldn't eat less than half of the bowl, so he shook his head and stopped eating. Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay, everyone, go out first. The emperor asked me to ask them a few questions, and then behead them." The guards bowed and said, "Yes." They went out and closed the door.
