Chapter 1017 Moon Night
In the prison of the palace, Wang Huili and Ergui were in a cold heart.
Just now, the jailer brought them a relatively sumptuous dinner and told them that it was their last dinner. Tomorrow morning, the two of them would be executed on the charge of spy.
In fact, when they were taken away from the naval prison, they had already felt that the danger was approaching. This was an obvious fact. The prince captured the Roman Navy's people, of course, in order to exchange them with the Roman Navy's people. Now that they are out of control of the Roman Navy, there will naturally be no exchange problem.
Moreover, in order to completely destroy the exchange between the Tang Dynasty and the Navy, the best way is to kill Wang Huili and others.
Wang Huili and Ergui are both smart people, and they can think of this.
At this moment, Wang Huili and Ergui sat together with their backs against each other, neither of them was sleepy at all.
Wang Huili said: "Brother, we brothers have sex with each other. When we were sworn brothers, we vowed to die in the same year, month and day. Now, we can be regarded as our oath."
Ergui knew that he was comforting himself. He now knew his ending and knew that no matter how powerful the prince was, he would be beyond their reach.
However, he didn't want to die. He also had his home in Chang'an, with his elderly parents, gentle wife and lovely son. He said expectantly: "Brother, everyone says that the prince is a god, so there is nothing he can't do. He has promised to rescue us. Do you think he can really rescue us?"
Although Wang Huili had no hope, he still comforted Ergui and said, "You have made sense. The prince is a god. He should be able to think that someone would destroy the transaction between the Tang army and the Roman Navy. Since he could think of it, he should be able to think of corresponding countermeasures. He will definitely find a way to rescue us."
Ergui was excited when he heard this, and he said, "Yes, I also believe in the prince's magical ability. He will definitely find a way to save us."
Wang Huili said, "Brother, you are right."
Ergui was very confused, so he asked uncertainly: "But, we are just small people. Will the prince care about our lives or death?
Also, even if the prince is really willing to save us, we will die tomorrow morning. Can the prince really come here in time?"
Wang Huili said: "Brother, don't dare to say that the prince is a kind and righteous person. He has never treated the people who follow him unfairly, nor has he sacrificed the life of even an ordinary soldier casually.
I have been following His Highness and know more about the prince. Just look at the prince’s men and you will know that they are all willing to die for the prince. Isn’t this because the prince has feelings and righteousness?”
In fact, he didn't have much contact with Li You, and most of his deeds were heard of. However, he said that the people around Li You who had contacted, including Wu Xu, all respected Li You. He could feel that the kind of respect was from the heart.
When Ergui heard him say this, he had a little more hope.
Wang Huili said with emotion: "I think the prince will definitely think about us. Since he thinks about us, he will consider it for us, and foresee the situation we may face, and there will definitely be corresponding countermeasures."
Ergui's spirit became more and more excited, and he said, "That's good, that's good. I also believe that the prince will rescue us."
He tried his best to cheer himself up.
In fact, Wang Huili no longer had any hope. He felt that even if Li You would do his best to rescue them, he was out of reach. No matter what, it would be impossible for him to rescue them in such a short time.
He said this, even if he was comforting the second cabinet and numbing himself. Instead of waiting for death, it would be better to hold a glimmer of hope, at least tonight would be better.
The moonlight shone quietly through the small window above the prison, and outlined a rectangular area on the ground not far away, where several small insects were flying constantly.
Ergui looked at the flying insects and his mood suddenly became bad again. He cried and sobbed, saying, "I don't think we can survive anymore. No matter how magical the prince is, he wouldn't know that we are here, nor would he know that we will die tomorrow morning. Even if we want to save us, it would be too late.
I, I no longer have hope. I just hope that the prince can treat our family well and not let them suffer grievances."
Wang Huili was also a little dark when he made him feel, and he said, "Brother, don't think so much. Anyone who has followed the prince, even if they die, their families will receive the best preferential treatment and will never be wronged."
Ergui said, "Brother, you are right. I, I don't want to."
The little insects under the moonlight were flying quietly, and the two stopped talking, and the prison was silent.
On the ironclad ship, the moonlight passed through the porthole and was quietly scattered in the cabin. Li You fell asleep peacefully, with occasional slight snoring.
Outside his dormitory, Bandi faced the porthole, her smooth and soft long hair drooped on her shoulders, and she sat on the bed with her hands in her knees, and the moonlight quietly sprinkled on her body. Her fair face, hands and a pair of barefoots reflected a hazy light, and her eyes were particularly bright.
"The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. I look up at the bright moon and think of my hometown." She recited silently in her heart.
Tomorrow is her birthday. At this moment, she really misses her hometown, and tears flow quietly along her face.
Slowly, her tears stopped, and then quietly disappeared on her face.
Listening to the occasional gentle snoring of the prince from the cabin next door, she felt better again.
She told Xi Magpie that she was about to celebrate her birthday and that she would be 16 years old tomorrow.
Xi Magpie told the prince about this matter, and the prince explained that she would hold a birthday dinner for her tomorrow and promised her that she could make a wish and he would help her realize it as much as possible.
The prince had already promised her that she could go home after the war was over, which was originally her greatest wish.
"What do I want?" But what Bandi wanted most seemed to be not this.
"I want, I want..."
Bandi suddenly felt a fever on her face, and she covered her face shyly.
Constantinople, the Imperial Palace.
The moonlight shone through the wide windows and filled the spacious bedroom. Constance II's thick snoring made Kent Tanka feel a little irritated.
