[Chapter 1408 And repay your kindness with a cup of tea]

Shen Tuluo did not accept the title of Marquis, Long Tai smiled lightly, but Qi Ning also smiled: “It is not easy to be a Marquis in my great Chu, Emperor Long En is mighty, does General Shen think that Marquis is not worthy of you? ”

Shen Tuluo was about to speak, but Duan Shao had already said, “Since it is a gift from the emperor, General Shen will accept it.”

Shen Tuluo’s lips moved, but he didn’t speak.

“I heard that Linghu Xu is stationed in Puyang.” The emperor stared at Duan Shao and said, “I wonder how the Marquis of Changle is going to deal with this matter?”

A smile appeared on Duan Shao’s lips, and he said, “The emperor wants me to persuade Linghu Xu?”

“I won’t force you.” Long Tai said: “It’s just that Linghu Xu and his soldiers are trapped in the lonely city. If they don’t solve it, their end will not be very good.” He didn’t say much, said: : “King Yiheng, you send them out of the palace!”

Qi Ning got up, Duan Shao hesitated, but didn’t say much.

Qi Ning sent the two out of the palace gate, but there were people from Shenhou Mansion waiting outside the palace.

After Duan Shao and Shen Tuluo were discovered in the Huainan Palace, they were brought back by the people from the Shenhou Mansion, but they were not put in prison. They were allowed to live in the single courtyard of the Shenhou Mansion, which was quite caring. Today, the emperor announced the call, It was Han Tianxiao who brought people to the gate of the palace in person.

When Han Tianxiao saw Qi Ning accompanying the two of them out, he immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands. Qi Ning had already said with a smile, “Third Senior Brother!”

“How’s your lord’s injury?” Han Tianxiao asked.

Qi Ning smiled and said, “It’s no longer a problem.”

Han Tianxiao then said to Duan Shao: “The emperor has a plan to arrange new residences for the two of them, so I will send the two of them over!” After calling for the carriage, Duan Shao got into the carriage without saying a word, while Shen Tuluo rode on horseback. Han Tianxiao said goodbye to Qi Ning, and then led someone to send Duan Shao away.

Qi Ning entered the palace today, and the emperor didn’t talk about state affairs. He knew that the emperor was looking at his injuries, so he didn’t want to make himself too tired.

The emperor’s true feelings revealed today, but Qi Ning was quite emotional, but Qi Ning always felt that the emperor seemed to have something to say, and the emperor said several times that even if there were any changes in the future, he should not be wrong to each other. It seemed casual, but Qi Ning always felt that there was something in his words.

However, after all, the emperor’s mind could not be completely guessed, and he did not go back directly to the mansion, but went to the Beggar Gang by car.

Han Tianxiao sent Duan Shao to a secluded street and stopped in front of a house that wasn’t too big. There were soldiers from the Tiger God Camp around the house. Duan Shao got off the carriage and glanced around. Without speaking, Han Tianxiao said: “From today onwards, the two of you will temporarily live here. The guards here will protect the safety of the two of you. There are servants in the mansion. If you need anything, the two of you can tell me.” Take people away.

Duan Shao entered the courtyard, and the house was kept very clean. Four male servants and four maids were waiting in the courtyard. When they saw Duan Shao and Shen Tuluo coming in, they all knelt down to salute. Inside, Shen Tuluo followed closely, Duan Shao walked to the table and sat down, his face was ugly, he slammed a fist on the table, Shen Tuluo understood Duan Shao’s mood, and did not say much, and the countryman in front of the door ordered : “Bring a pot of tea here!” Then he walked to the table, sat down opposite Duan Shao, pondered for a while, and finally said: “His Royal Highness, the matter is so far, I am powerless, and the wish of Daqi to restore the country is difficult to achieve. already.”

Duan Shao sneered and said: “Ben Gong naturally knows. Longtai is too deceiving, so…!” Gritting his teeth, he immediately said: “There are guards all around, and we can’t even get out if we want to go out, let alone recover. Country?” Feeling irritable, he couldn’t help but say: “Ben Gong thought Mo Ying had some clever tricks, so it turns out…!” He didn’t continue, but his face was filled with annoyance.

Shentu Luo pondered for a while before saying: “This is all the fault of the minister. The minister thought that Mo Ying really had a way to turn things around, so he captured it without hesitation, the minister… should have died on the boat!”

Duan Shao said: “Mo Duo Xin, the governor, this palace is not blaming you.”

“His Royal Highness is lenient, but this minister is indeed unforgivable.

Shen Tuluo sighed: “My Daqi navy is under the command of the minister. Not only did I fail to block the Huai River, but also because of my negligence, the Daqi navy was almost wiped out. There is no such serious crime. Forgiveness.

”

At this time, a maid brought tea over, Shen Tuluo took it in the past, Duan Shao looked at Shen Tuluo’s thick back, and was also sad, knowing that in this big Chu capital now, apart from the queen in the palace, the only support is Shen Tuluo .

The queen lives in the palace, and she may not have the chance to see it, and she can only rely on Shentuluo for life.

Shen Tuluo took the teapot and seemed to be thinking about something, and finally turned around, put the teacup on the table, poured tea for both teacups, and then said, “Linghu Xiangshen is in Puyang, what is the situation over there? , Linghu Xiang is most clear, where to go, Linghu Xiang will definitely weigh carefully, if His Highness sends a letter, Linghu Xiang obeys His Highness’s orders, it may disrupt Linghu Xiang’s steps, and even give Puyang’s number Ten thousand soldiers bring disaster.”

Duan Shao frowned, and said a little unhappily: “Ben Gong did not promise to send a letter to Linghu Xiang.”

“Previously, Qi Ning asked the minister to write a letter to Linghu Xiang, and the minister did write a letter in person. Although it seemed to be lobbying, the letter contained a mystery. Others couldn’t understand it, but Linghu Xiang understood it.” Shen Tuluo said slowly: “The minister told him that he would judge the situation and choose his own path.”

Duan Shao sighed: “If we can go to Puyang to meet them, there may not be a way out.”

“His Royal Highness, Puyang is the land of the Han people, and the people there will never surrender to us.” Shen Tuluo sighed: “And the Han people will not let us become popular in Puyang.”

Duan Shao had a gloomy expression on his face, and said helplessly: “Captain, are we waiting here to die?”

“Today Longtai bestowing the title of His Highness is an insult.” Shentuluo said: “I am only worried, this is just the beginning, His Highness has now become his plate fish, and life and death are completely under his control. , His Highness is the Prince of Da Qi, and he should not have been humiliated by this.”

Duan Shao frowned and said: “There was a rebellion here just now, and Longtai’s killing intent has not disappeared. If he really angered him today, he is afraid that he really wants to…!”

Shen Tuluo laughed, picked up the teacup, drank it all at once, put down the teacup, wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and said, “Since he has been named a marquis, he will send someone to bring it here soon. Accept the title of his marquis, otherwise it would be disrespectful to His Royal Highness.”

“What can we do now?” Duan Shao said, “Do you want to disobey his will?”

Shen Tuluo smiled and said, “This minister has survived to this day, and he just wants to restore Daqi with His Highness, but the matter has come to this point, and I am powerless.

Your Highness said it was of no use.

”

“The Governor must not say that.” Duan Shao thought for a while before saying: “There is still a chance, did the Governor forget… the National Teacher?”

Shen Tuluo shook his head and said: “His Royal Highness, although the East Sea Island Master has been canonized as a national teacher, he has never been involved in state affairs. No matter whether he has the heart to restore the country or not, it is impossible for him to stand up and help His Highness restore the country. Chu State and Bei Gong Liancheng, once he makes a move, Beigong Liancheng will not sit idly by, so there is no need to count on that national teacher.”

Duan Shao knew that what Shen Tuluo had said was not bad, the only hope left in his heart was shattered, and he was even more irritable. , This action is of course very rude. Although he is a prisoner under the stage, Shen Tuluo has always been respectful to himself. At this moment, Duan Shao was a little surprised, but Shen Tuluo shook his head slightly and said: ” Do you want to drink this cup of tea, Your Highness, think twice…!” Before he could finish his words, Duan Shao discovered that blood was spilling from the corner of Shen Tuluo’s mouth.

Duan Shao was taken aback and lost his voice: “Captain, you…!” He suddenly realized something and stared at the teapot: “There is poison in the tea? They…they want to poison us?”

Shen Tuluo shook his head and said, “The minister poisoned the teapot just now, but they didn’t put it.”

Duan Shao was startled: “Why do you do this?”

“This minister is a military general, who should have died in battle, but he has lived to this day, and he is already extremely ashamed. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com” Shen Tuluo withdrew his hand: “This minister will never let the people of Chu play in the palm of his hand. By the grace of the emperor, if you die today, you will be able to repay Daqi…!” With a “wow”, he spat out a mouthful of blood, but his body fell backwards.

In front of Duan Shaofei, he saw that Shen Tuluo’s face had turned blue, and he was about to pick up Shen Tuluo, but Shen Tuluo said sharply: “Your Highness, don’t touch, be careful…!” Duan Shao withdrew his hand in fright. .

“If Your Highness…if you only want peace, in the future…it will inevitably be wronged in the future, my minister…can no longer be loyal, Your Highness…don’t blame…!” Shen Tu Luo’s breath was short, and between his breaths, blood came out of his mouth: “But if it’s unbearable… unbearable, you can… drink this cup of tea…!”

Duan Shao clenched his fists, trembled all over, and said in tears, “You…why is this…!”

“Your Highness… take care…!” Shen Tuluo sighed, tilted his head, and died.

Duan Shao stared blankly at Shen Tuluo’s corpse and said nothing for a long time.

He knew that Shen Tuluo had an upright temperament, and it would be unbearable to enter the palace today to be humiliated. The most important thing is that the palace will soon send someone to send the official will to bestow the seal. If Shentuluo accepts it, he will be on an equal footing with Duan Shaoping. Of course, Shen Tuluo would never accept it, but if he did not comply with the decree, it would probably bring great trouble. Shen Tuluo’s death was actually to prevent Duan Shao from getting into trouble.

Duan Shao stood up, picked up his tea cup, was silent for a while, and leaned to his mouth, but looked at Shen Tuluo’s blue corpse, between life and death, Duan Shao really didn’t have the courage to drink this cup of tea, ” Ah!” The ground shouted, and slammed the teacup on the ground violently, the teacup shattered, and the tea splashed all over the floor.
