    Chapter 10 Drunk

    Xiao Jiming stood under the lantern with his big cloak folded, and Zhao Hui stood behind him, saying, “It’s time to come back. The person who went to pick him up just now said that the young master rode away on his own. Why hasn’t he arrived yet?”

    Xiao Jiming breathed in the cold air, looked at the sky quietly for a while, and said: “In the past, when he was unhappy, he would gallop 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 most in his life?”

    Zhaohui shook his head honestly.

    Xiao Jiming said: “It was too late to send Ah Ye away. Three years ago, we were ambushed at the foot of the Hongyan Mountains. Before my father’s reinforcements arrived, Ah Ye took the twenty cavalrymen who were originally guarding him and crossed the Hongjiang River at night. They spent half the night in the mud and burned the food on the edge. When I saw him, he was smelly and dirty, and the wounds on his legs were soaked in the water. He was only fourteen that year, and I asked him if he was afraid.It was a great time.My father often said that the Lu family were the eagles of the desert, and the Xiao family were like dogs in Libei.But then we were like dogs in chains, and I no longer had the joy of fighting more than ten years ago.The Xiao family is not a dog, but A Ye is the only one who still has the wolf nature.He dreamed of the mountains in Libei, but now I feel sorry for him and my father.”

    Zhaohui was silent for a moment, looked at Xiao Jiming, and said, “Why should you belittle yourself, Your Majesty? Your Majesty’s nature is Meng Lang, and he is not a candidate to be a general. No matter he is born earlier or later, Libei cannot be controlled by He. A commander must have toughness that has been tempered over time, and perseverance that is as solid as a rock. This is something that the Young Master cannot do.”

    Xiao Jiming said nothing.

    The wind is strong tonight, causing the lantern to sway.The master and the servant waited for half an hour, and saw someone riding a horse from afar.

    “Your Majesty!” The man on the horse came down and said, “Something happened to Your Majesty!”

    Chaohui immediately raised his knife and said, “Where is the young master?”

    * * *

    Half an hour ago.

    Shen Zechuan was shackled and pushed down the steps by Xiao Qi.

    “Sing.” Xiaoqi encouraged from behind, “Quick, sing a few words!”

    Shen Zechuan remained silent and looked at the person squatting in the shadow of the wall.When he saw Hai Dongqing, his chest hurt. He couldn’t help but pursed his lips and stood there.

    Xiao Chiye said: “Let you stand over.”

    Shen Zechuan exhaled hot air, moved his feet slowly, and stood not far from Xiao Chiye.

    Xiao Chiye stood up and said, “Who is your mother?”

    Shen Zechuan said: “Duanzhou Dance.”

    “Let’s have a singing session.” Xiao Chiye’s eyes made people panic, “Old Shen Gou didn’t teach you, someone has to teach you something else.”

    Shen Zechuan lowered his head and dodged, as if he was afraid of he, and said: “…I can’t.”

    “Look up.” Xiao Chiye pushed the lantern away with his foot, “Are you afraid of me?”

    Shen Zechuan had no choice but to raise his head and smell the smell of alcohol.

    Xiao Chiye said: “It’s okay if you don’t sing. Find something for me.”

    Shen Zechuan spread his palms to indicate that he was still shackled.

    Xiao Chiye frowned and said, “That’s it.”

    Shen Zechuan knelt down and grabbed a few handfuls of snow.

    Xiao Chiye stared at the top of his hair coldly and said, “Stand up again.”

    Shen Zechuan supported his knees again and stood up.

    Xiao Chiye said: “You can squat and rise freely, and your legs and feet are not hindered. Is it because the Jin Yiwei who was punished with the imperial rod is too considerate, or is it because he is easy to support?”

    “Of course it’s easy to live with a low life.” Shen Zechuan said in a low voice, “It’s a fluke.”

    “It doesn’t make sense.” Xiao Chiye put his riding crop against Shen Zechuan’s chest, “That kick was the one that cut off my life. You are good at it.”

    Shen Zechuan was shuddered by the riding whip, and became more and more trembling in fear, saying: “Only hanging on to the last breath… just hanging on to the last breath. The second young master is loyal and righteous, why should he have trouble with a villain like me? What has happened is now, I deserve my punishment, please let me go.”

    Xiao Chiye said: “Are you serious?”

    Shen Zechuan was already forced to cry, and he nodded vigorously.

    Xiao Chiye took back his riding crop and said: “You can say what you say, who knows the truth or falsehood. In this way, learn how to bark a few times. Once you bark, I will let you go tonight.”

    Shen Zechuan said nothing.

    Xiao Qi was frightened by Xiao Chiye’s eyes and pushed Shen Zechuan a few more times.

    Shen Zechuan’s face turned pale and he said timidly: “…I’ll be alone with you anyway.”

    “Get lost.” Xiao Chiye said briefly.

    Xiao Qi immediately felt relieved and said happily to Shen Zechuan: “Get out! Let’s get back…”

    Xiao Chiye’s eyes were fixed on Xiao Qi’s face. Xiao Qi’s legs and feet became weak again. He pointed at himself and said, “I, should I get out? That’s… easy to say!”

    He gritted his teeth and hugged himself into a ball, rolled a few times in the snow, and stood not far away.

    Shen Zechuan was a little coy, so he moved closer and whispered, “…If you let me go, will I let you go?”

    The snowflakes suddenly rose. Xiao Chiye pressed Shen Zechuan’s arm and pressed it down hard. With a serious look on his face, he said: “The fox has exposed its tail. I don’t think you can pretend to be a grandson!”

    The two people suddenly fell onto the snowy ground, with their hands hanging in shackles. Shen Zechuan kicked Xiao Chiye in the lower abdomen and rolled to the ground to support himself: “The emperor ordered me to be grounded, and the Xiao family dared to disobey the order and not take my life. After tonight -”

    Xiao Chiye put the shackles on Shen Zechuan and dragged him directly towards him.

    Shen Zechuan fell to the ground, gritted his teeth and shouted: “——You are the Xiao family’s accomplices in disobeying the imperial edict! I will not regret my death, and all the forbidden troops will be buried with me tonight!”

    Xiao Chiye jammed Shen Zechuan’s throat from behind, forcing him to raise his head, laughed briefly, and said harshly: “You treat yourself like a Jin Ge Pagoda and be buried with you? You deserve it! I’ll kill you like a piece of grass!”

    Shen Zechuan had difficulty breathing, and the shackles suddenly wrapped around the back of Xiao Chiye’s neck, and he pulled it to the ground with all his strength.Xiao Chiye was not prepared for this move. When he raised his arm, he was kicked in the chest by Shen Zechuan. The two of them immediately rolled and fell upside down.

    “Kill me like a piece of grass?” Shen Zechuan lowered his head and stared into Xiao Chiye’s eyes. In the confusion, he finally met his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “The good opportunity has passed. I’m afraid it’s unclear who will be the hunting dog and who will be the rabbit in the future!”

    “Who dares to secretly help!” Xiao Chiye was already murderous, “I will investigate one and kill the other!”

    Xiaoqi was so frightened by this sudden turn of events that he rushed over to stop him and said, “Sir! You must not kill anyone!”

    “That’s right!” Shen Zechuan said sternly, “It’s the second young master who wants to kill me tonight!”

    “Shut up!” Xiao Chiye used his hands to block his mouth.

    Unexpectedly, Shen Zechuan opened his mouth and bit him to death. He pressed half of Xiao Chiye’s body and had already bitten the flesh of Xiao Chiye’s mouth.

    Xiao Chiye said in a cold voice: “Do you think you can cover up your past by acting like a fool? This kind of kung fu is absolutely extraordinary!”

    Xiaoqi couldn’t stop him and quickly shouted: “Hurry up and pull them away!”

    Blood seeped between Shen Zechuan’s teeth, but he refused to let go.Xiao Chiye had already woken up from the wine, and he grabbed him by the collar and pulled him out.The pain in the tiger’s mouth was heartbreaking, but Xiao Chiye remembered Shen Zechuan’s eyes clearly.

    “Young Master!” Zhaohui shouted as he galloped his horse.

    Xiao Chiye turned his head and saw that Brother He was also on the horse. He had already dismounted and was coming at a fast pace.In this moment, he just felt ashamed, as if someone had peeled off his skin and brought him back to his original form of being worthless.

    Xiao Jiming landed on one knee, and Shen Zechuan immediately let go.Xiao Chiye’s tiger’s mouth was bloody and bloody, with deep tooth marks.

    “Why did you move your hands?” Zhaohui followed closely and saw the injury.

    “Take the person back.” Xiao Jiming said in a deep voice.

    Zhaohui picked up Shen Zechuan and walked toward the door.

    “Young Master is drunk.” Xiao Jiming looked at Xiao Qi and said, “Don’t tell anyone what happened tonight. I will apologize to the Emperor.”

    Xiaoqi kowtowed to him several times and said repeatedly: “It all depends on the prince’s arrangement!”

    Xiao Jiming stood up.Zhaohui had already thrown the man back, and when he saw this, he said to Xiaoqi: “Thank you all, brothers in the imperial army, for your hard work tonight in bringing the young master back to the mansion safe and sound. It is not easy to guard in the winter night. I invite you brothers to drink hot wine, and I hope you will not refuse.”

    How dare Xiaoqi say no, he responded wisely.

    Xiao Jiming looked at Xiao Chiye but said nothing.

    Xiao Chiye didn’t even wipe the blood from his hands. He wanted to say something, but he saw that his elder brother had already turned around and got on the horse.

    “Brother.”

    Xiao Chiye murmured.

    Xiao Jiming heard this and rode away.
