"PS: At the suggestion of a book friend, the remnant of the Xiao family called themselves "Fu Weijun (overthrowing the Wei army)" and changed it to "Fu Weijun". Also, the confession method of scratching the blackboard with fingernails, I was afraid that the person in the article would be guilty before he was defeated.

I’m sorry for now, don’t mention such terrible things in the future. Finally, at the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket~』

"Crack-"

With a crisp sound, the chains on Bei Gongyu's hands were released.

Since he was tortured by Zhang Qigong for more than two days, he was extremely weak at this time. Therefore, when he came into contact with the chain on his hand, he almost sat on the ground. Fortunately, the black crows who released the chain for him were able to do it in time with one hand.

He supported him so that he would not be embarrassed.

"I'll do it myself." Nodding gratefully towards the black crow, Bei Gongyu immediately signaled the other person to take two steps back, and he held on to the torture frame to stabilize his balance.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Hongrun became more and more sure of his own judgment, and he also felt a bit of admiration for Bei Gongyu - after all, not just anyone can persist in his faith and never give in under the torture of cruel officials like Zhang Qigong.

.

After five or six breaths had passed, Bei Gongyu slowly walked towards the table in the execution room, and at Zhao Hongrun's signal, sat opposite the latter.

Zhao Hongrun looked at Bei Gongyu with admiration, and at the same time, he slowly pushed a glass of hot wine that he filled himself in front of the latter.

Bei Gongyu took a deep look at Zhao Hongrun, who was smiling, and thanked him: "Thank you... Your Highness."

It is also the title "Your Highness the Prince". When Bei Gongyu used it to address Zhao Hongrun just now, it was more or less mixed with some ridicule, but now, the ridicule has been replaced by admiration.

What do you admire?

Of course, he admired the magnanimity of the Crown Prince of Wei in front of him, whether it was the courage of the other party to recruit him, or the scheming of the other party to make him confused with just a few words.

"Gudu - Gudu -"

Under the eyes of Zhang Qigong, Yang Ji and others, Bei Gongyu drank the cup of hot wine, then opened a pair of bloodshot eyes and looked at Zhao Hongrun intently: "Your Highness, what you just said

……really?"

"I will practice what I say." Zhao Hongrun said seriously.

After saying that, he stood up and said with a chuckle: "Okay, it's already getting late. It's time for me to return to the palace. Beigong, you can recover from your injuries in the palace for a few days. As for what happens next, you and Qi Gong

Let’s discuss it.”

"...Yes." Bei Gongyu nodded with a complicated expression, a little entangled in whether he should get up to see off the Crown Prince, but the latter waved his hand and said casually: "No need to see him off, you sit down and rest."

Yes."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door of the torture chamber. From the side, Zhang Qigong quickly stood up and said to him: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

After sending Zhao Hongrun to the entrance and exit of the dungeon, Zhang Qigong couldn't help but said with emotion: "His Royal Highness's talent is astounding to me... I have learned a lesson."

Zhao Hongrun looked back at Zhang Qigong.

In fact, didn't Zhang Qigong think of using Gongjue to lure Bei Gongyu to surrender? Of course not, it's just that he didn't have the power.

After all, rehabilitating the Beigong family is contrary to the original edict of Emperor Wei Zhao Yuansi. Except for Zhao Hongrun, the "willful" prince of the East Palace, who would dare to make such a promise to induce Beigong Yu to surrender?

Therefore, it’s not that Zhang Qigong didn’t think of it, it’s just that his position and power could not support him in seducing Bei Gongyu to rebel. Looking at the entire Wei State, I am afraid that the only one who can do this is the one in front of him.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Zhao Hongrun was also aware of this, so he hinted to Zhang Qigong: "Qi Gong, the hundred "blank" pardon edicts that I have given you, do not let them become decorations... For me,

A pardon edict is just a matter of stamping two seals. If you can force Xiao Luan to a dead end in exchange for a few pieces of silk, why not do it?"

Zhang Qigong knew that the Crown Prince in front of him was reminding him, so he quickly raised his hands and said, "My lord, please be taught."

"It's snowing outside, just bring him here." After patting Zhang Qigong's arm, Zhao Hongrun walked out of the dungeon. Lu Mu, the head of the clan guard, was already nearby and put a cashmere cloak on Zhao Hongrun's body.

Together with Yang Yi, Zhang Qigong turned around and returned to the dungeon after watching Zhao Hongrun disappear from sight.

At this time, in the execution room in the dungeon, Bei Gongyu was holding a glass of wine and sipping it one bite at a time.

When his eyes came into contact with Zhang Qigong, it had to be said that both of them felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, an hour ago, they were divided into enemy and friend, one was the interrogator, and the other was the wanted criminal. It was hard to imagine that an hour later, the two of them would be sitting next to a table and drinking.

Not sure whether it was to relieve the awkward atmosphere or to sincerely admire the Crown Prince's magnanimity, Bei Gongyu said seriously after a long silence: "The Crown Prince... has the air of a king, but he is a little arrogant and unruly.

"

"Arrogant and unruly?" Zhang Qigong was stunned, and then couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth with an inexplicable smile.

In fact, he didn't feel anything similar.

Arrogant and unruly, the so-called arrogance refers to domineering, flamboyant, and fearless; and arrogant refers to pride, just like the glass of wine he gave Bei Gongyu to warm up at the beginning, His Highness's strong self-esteem

, which makes him disdain to use some dirty tricks, because he is confident that with his scheming and strategy, he can settle anything; as for being unruly... look at the 'war' between His Highness and His Majesty back then, and now with the Ministry of Rites

You can have a deep understanding of the "battle of wits" between Shangshu and Du You.

Well, sometimes His Royal Highness is really a headache.

"...However, among the nearly three generations of the royal family, only the prince has a convincing ability." Bei Gongyu added at the end.

"Hey, hey, when you say this, where do you put His Majesty in the Manna Hall?"

Glancing at Bei Gongyu, Zhang Qigong took out the stack of pardon edicts from his arms, took out one and handed it to Bei Gongyu, and said sternly: "That's why the power of our great Wei Dynasty is unstoppable! ... What do you do?

Make a wise choice, Gong Zheng, no, Bei Gongyu."

Bei Gongyu said nothing, and reached out to take the silk handed by Zhang Qigong. When he saw clearly that it was a pardon edict with no name filled in, he couldn't help but look at the identical thick silk in Zhang Qigong's hand with strange eyes.

A thick stack, I put it in my arms with mixed feelings.

"...Xiao Luan, you can't defeat such an opponent..."

Bei Gongyu sighed secretly in his heart.

On the same day, Zhang Qigong arranged for Bei Gongyu to rest in a wing in the Xiyuan of the Prince's Mansion. At the same time, he invited a doctor to bandage and apply medicine for Bei Gongyu.

When night fell, Bei Gongyu had a full meal in his room. He should have gone to bed as soon as possible to rest and recuperate, but because his mood was still unable to calm down, he never felt sleepy.

In his mind, the memory of the incident twenty years ago that he could not forget until now slowly emerged.

It was a dark night, and the raging flames almost swallowed up the entire Nanyan.

And in that fire, groups of well-trained Wei troops kicked open the door of his Nangong family, killing everyone on sight without caring about the crime.

He will never forget that time when the fierce Wei soldier swung a knife and slashed him in the chest.

Using trembling hands to unbutton his clothes, Bei Gongyu stroked the scars on his chest with trembling fingers.

Whether it is whip marks or fire burns, these are just new injuries left by Zhang Qigong during the two days of severe torture. However, under these new injuries, there is a scar from the left shoulder to the waist. This scar is far away.

It hurt him more than the new injuries on his body.

Because on the day this scar was left, their Beigong clan, a family with more than a hundred members, was wiped out overnight.

He still remembered that when he regained consciousness and crawled out of the mud despite the pain, what he saw was a mass grave that he would never forget.

It was in that mass grave that could be used to accuse the Wei army of brutality that Bei Gongyu met Xiao Luan.

"...I'm sorry, I'm late. As a descendant of the Xiao family, I, Xiao Luan, failed to protect you and my subjects of Nanyan. I am really...sorry."

On that day, Xiao Luan, the Crown Prince of Nan Yanhou, lowered his head in front of Bei Gongyu and the mass graves with a look of guilt on his face.

"What are your future plans, Master?"

"Revenge! Zhao Si betrayed Nan Yan, he must pay the price! ... Beigong, follow me! I need your help!"

"Yes! Young Master, as a descendant of the Beigong clan, I, Beigong Yu, will follow you."

…

"Beigong Yu, serve me!"

"Huh? Your Highness, did you hear correctly? You actually want to recruit me?"

"It's an instigation of rebellion! ... Either continue to serve Xiao Luan and let Xiao Luan take the lead in getting rid of your wife and children, and you will die worthless; or, you can serve me and kill Xiao Luan when he is captured, you

He is the master of the revival of the Beigong family, who can restore you, the Beigong family, to your noble status!"

"..."

"Pah——"

Bei Gongyu's hands slapped his own face heavily.

At this time, in his mind, the figures of Xiao Luan and Zhao Run appeared at the same time, lingering.

In Bei Gongyu's heart, Xiao Luan, who was born in the Xiao family of Nanyan, was a charismatic lord. He was cunning, ruthless, and decisive in killing, so much so that Bei Gongyu once firmly believed that Xiao Luan would be able to lead him.

They destroyed the Wei State and completed the revenge of these "dead souls" on the Ji Zhao royal family!

Bei Gongyu still firmly believed in this belief even when they "Fu Weijun (as the remnants of the Xiao family called themselves)" had to lurk again for some reason, or even fled abroad.

Until today, he met Zhao Run, the Prince of the Eastern Palace of Wei State.

That was a prince with a more charming personality, who was as cunning and scheming as Xiao Luan, but his mind was broader than Xiao Luan's.

In the past twenty years, Bei Gongyu followed Xiao Luan and gradually strengthened "Fu Weijun" in secret. However, during this period, traitors were still inevitable. In addition to those chess pieces who did not want to be controlled by "Fu Weijun", sometimes there would be traitors.

Some people like Sima Song (Wei Shan), the Marquis of Quliang, slacked off on revenge and even betrayed "Fu Weijun" because they had someone to place their hearts on.

And these people were all eradicated under Xiao Luan's order. His treatment of these traitors was even more cruel than his treatment of outsiders.

Bei Gongyu once saw with his own eyes that a soldier from the first generation of the Nanyan Army, like Sima Song (Weishan), the Marquis of Quliang, wanted to leave because he was in love with a woman, and even betrayed "Fu Weijun"
