Chapter 125
Chen Zheng's eyes lit up: "Really, General?"
"Of course." He Li nodded, and asked back: "Why? Are you not happy?"
Chen Zheng shook his head quickly: "No, no, of course I am willing."
He Li picked up another military newspaper, read it and asked, "Do you have any relatives in your family?"
Chen Zheng suppressed his excitement, and said respectfully: "My mother is still in Yongzhou, and I entrusted her to Cao Yan when I came."
He Li nodded: "Give me a place, I will ask Zhuxuan to pick her up and place her in Yanzhou, do you think it will work?"
Chen Zheng nodded his head, his face was full of gratitude, and he almost knelt down and kowtowed three times to He Li. Ma, quickly sent people away.
After spending half a day on official business, He Li readjusted the defense of Lancheng and increased the strength of the cities along the Lancheng.
Although Donghu is sending people to negotiate peace on the surface, they don't know what their intentions are. Wei and Donghu have had many generations of grievances, and Donghu's attack this time has been planned for a long time, and it is impossible to let it go.
The battle with Donghu has been fought for almost five years. He is on the battlefield, and he can personally experience how hard it is for Wei to fight. The treasury has to support the army. The war had to be fought, and he had to seek a job in his position, and the military power was in his hands. He had to know better than everyone what to do to eradicate the curse for the Great Wei, so the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.
Everything was arranged, and He Li finally felt more at ease when he left, but there was one more thing that had to be done before he left.
He pressed his forehead wearily, then stretched out his hand to gently pat the king of Xiliang who was sleeping next to him.
The child opened his eyes in a daze and rubbed his face.
He Li pinched his white and tender cheeks with two fingers: "Don't sleep, go somewhere with me."
"where to?"
He Li stood up and picked up the little guy with one hand: "Just follow me."
The King of Xiliang nodded in a daze, and obediently followed He Li.He Li looked at the brat, and stretched out a hand to hold him.
Before the battle, Lancheng was considered prosperous. After the fight between Wei and Donghu, the people in Lancheng died and fled. Lancheng was almost deserted except for the troops stationed here. The city has almost become a deserted city.
There is one exception, and that is the dungeon in the Lancheng yamen.
He Li took the little Xiliang King who was not even half tall and the young soldiers Han Jue had found for him, all the way to the long-abandoned yamen.
"General!"
He Li waved his hand, and led the boy to the dungeon.Walking down the steps step by step, the lights became more and more dim, the little guy seemed a little scared, and tightened his grip on He Li.
He Li gently squeezed the child's soft hand to comfort him.After walking for a while, the three stopped in front of a cell.
The people in the cell seemed to have heard the sound, and looked sideways, revealing half of their face, it was Sang Dan who was detained a few days ago.
Against the light, Sang Dan took a long time to see the person standing outside the door clearly, and crawled over here.
"Why are you here?" Sandan's voice was hoarse, with some viciousness, like surprise, and like cursing, "Come and see my joke?"
He spoke Xiliang dialect, which He Li couldn't understand, and the young soldiers around him repeated Sang Dan's words to He Li in a low voice.
The little guy seemed to be frightened, desperately hiding behind He Li, screaming while hiding, extremely miserable.
He Li really couldn't see Sang Dan's behavior of bullying children, so he kicked Sang Dan against the wall.
Regardless of the pain, Sang Dan crawled over again clutching his chest, and stretched out his handcuffed hands desperately, as if trying to catch the little guy hiding behind He Li, scaring him into tears.
"What are you doing?" He Li pulled the little guy behind him, and cursed impatiently, "Stretch your claws back."
Sang Dan was stunned, one hand was still stretching forward, cursing non-stop: "Why are you protecting him? He's just a bastard! The little bastard is still alive! Damn it!" I should have killed you at that time, chopped you into meat and fed it to the dogs!"
"What is he howling?" The words in it were beyond the Xiliang dialect that He Li knew, and he could no longer understand, so he turned his head to look at the young soldier beside him.
The young soldier scratched his head in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "If you curse, the general should stop listening."
He Li turned his head and looked at the child who kept hiding behind him from the corner of his eye, and calmly pulled him to his side and covered his ears.
"Even scolding children, where can you go?"
Sang Dan's eyes were bloodshot, and he was staring at the little boy of the King of Xiliang. He Li thought about it and covered his eyes.
"Stop staring at him, if you really have the ability, then stare at me."
Sang Dan's eyes moved up, and fixed on He Li.
He Li: "..." You are really obedient.
"He Li, you despicable villain!"
He Li shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "Is this despicable? You really can't do it in Xiliang, you haven't seen the world."
Sang Dan choked with anger at this sentence, pointed at He Li and started swearing in Xiliang dialect, but fortunately He Li couldn't understand it, so there was no such thing as getting angry, so he took the time to say: "Don't scold It's like a ghost howling, it's already ugly and cheap, and you are so arrogant after Xiliang is destroyed."
Sandan: "..."
He Li: "I'll ask you a few questions, you'd better answer them honestly."
Sang Dan stared at him: "Go away."
He Li seemed to have never heard of it, and said to himself: "The old thing Xiliang King was killed by King Gu Ye, right?"
Sandan looked at him without saying a word.
"I guess it must be, the old Xiliang king is so powerful, the brat in front of me doesn't have this ability, and you don't even have this ability."
Sang Dan was furious: "You fart! King Gu Ye is a reckless man, what else would he do besides being able to fight? If I hadn't helped him kill that old thing, how would he have a chance to deal with this little bastard!"
He Li narrowed his eyes slightly: "I remember that the envoy Sangdan was quite personable, why did he become like this now? Tsk tsk."
Sang Dan laughed suddenly, the laughter was like a ghost, and it was especially piercing in the empty dungeon.
"They are all wild species! They are all wild species! Hahahaha! They are all wild species! They should all be skinned and cramped!"
He Li felt a little sick looking at his mad state, kicked him against the wall again, tilted his head and said, "Did you torture him? It's like he's crazy."
The young soldier shook his head blankly: "No, General, is it possible that he was crazy? Or heard that Xiliang was destroyed, he was too sad to go crazy?"
He Li looked at the half-dead man in the cell, and thought he couldn't ask anything, so he turned around and left with him.
The little soldier hurriedly followed: "General, don't you want to ask?"
"Don't ask, I guess he won't be able to ask anything from his crazy appearance."
"Should we not use torture? I think the torture equipment in this cell is quite complete."
He Li has already asked what he wanted to ask, and shook his head: "It is the Ministry of Criminal Justice's business to interrogate and remand Yu Du."
The little soldier nodded half-understanding, and followed He Li to another cell.
The prisoner was locked in a woman, and the prisoner brought back from Xiliang, according to Da Wei's seniority, should be the aunt of the boy next to him. The woman glanced coldly at the three people outside the cell, and muttered to herself: " Why didn't you kill this wild species at that time?"
Logically speaking, since they are relatives, the little Xiliang king should be very close to her, but He Li saw fear in the little guy's eyes.
"Afraid of her?"
The little guy nodded, with tears in his eyes, and in unproficient Central Plains words: "She, she beat me, poisoned me, died, my maidservant."
He Li frowned, looking thoughtfully at the woman in the cell, and after standing there for a while, He Li took the little guy to walk through all the cells where the Xiliang nobles were imprisoned, without exception, the little Xiliang Wang Du looked very frightened, and even cried in front of several men's cells.
He Li had a rough guess in his heart, the more he looked at this little guy, the more miserable he felt, no wonder he had to follow He Li at that time.
Although his nanny didn't like him, she still had a conscience and dumped him to He Li, which barely saved the little thing's life.If he falls into the hands of his relatives, it is not clear whether he will be able to return to Yu alive.
But this little guy must have been protected by someone who can live on the throne for a few years, otherwise, no matter how big his life is, he would not be able to survive the calculations of so many people.As for who it was, He Li didn't bother to find out, Xiliang was destroyed, no matter who it was, the body would probably be cold by now, and just such a brat wouldn't be able to make any big waves.
It's just that this little brat was really scared a bit, and he was still shaking when he left the Yamen.
It took another two or three days to hand over the matter at hand to Han Jue, and then set off back to Yudu with the prisoners from Xiliang.
After all, the King of Xiliang was young, and his relatives didn't want to see him. In order to prevent him from being killed, He Li kept him by his side as usual, and prepared a prison car for him alone, and specially laid out cushions.
However, that brat had to drag He Li to rest assured that the prison cart was useless after only two days of use——He Li carried him to his horse.
Now the whole army spread the word that the Little King of Xiliang was He Li's illegitimate son. What's more, they made up a story that He Li traveled around the Western Regions in his early years and met a beautiful woman, and the two fell in love with each other. But in the end they were separated due to their status. After the separation, the woman found out that she was pregnant, so she married the king of Xiliang and gave birth to this little boy.
It was well made up, as if it was real, even the name of the beautiful woman was made up, as if what they had seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears, when it reached He Li's ears, he was shocked, if it wasn't for He himself was the protagonist of the story and he almost believed it.
He Li was very troubled by this, but thinking about it, as long as it didn't reach Ji Qing's ears, it wouldn't be a big deal, if it did reach Ji Qing's ears. .He Li suddenly felt a little pain in his waist.
However, rumors are very troublesome to deal with. Blocking one person's mouth cannot block everyone's mouth. Even if everyone doesn't say it publicly, they will still discuss it in private. Let them discuss for a period of time and it will gradually fade away.
He Li's attitude of sitting and ignoring the soldiers became more and more excited, firmly believing that the little king of Xiliang was He Li's son, and they were quietly observing General He and his son excitedly all the way back to Yudu, which made this long journey The road is more interesting.
