Two hundred and forty-one, let the tiger return to the mountain

Updated: 2012-08-19

"Bang--"

A thick iron door was pushed open a gap. The prisoner who was originally lying lazily on the ground got up, covering his eyes with his hands, but couldn't help but look at the door.

It has been more than a year. Except for the early days of each month, a deaf and mute old man delivering food to him, he has never seen anyone again, and he is almost bored and crazy.

The prisoner calculated that today was not the first day of the New Year or the end of the month. At this time, someone suddenly came to such a place. There was no doubt that his own affairs had a turnaround. Maybe he could seize the opportunity and go out.

After the prison door opened, the servant looked at the dirty cell and the mice on the ground, frowned, slapped his nose with his hands, and walked in impatiently.

The guard behind him was dressed in military uniform and had a smile on his face.

"Are you doing well?" the servant approached the prisoner and asked lightly, sitting comfortably on the chair that the guards came, still looking around.

"Woo-Woo-Woo--" Perhaps because of not speaking for a long time, the prisoner spoke as if his mouth was filled with things, but he made a whimpering sound. However, from his anxious face, he could see that he had had enough of this ghost place. Even if he could not go out, he hoped that his servants would do well and slaughter him with one knife.

"Don't worry, if you want to go out, I can let you go immediately!" The servant shook his head, as if very disappointed.

The prisoner was stunned and quickly pushed away the long hair scattered in front of him. At this time, the servant could truly see his face clearly, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, Qin Ming was as handsome as before, but he was less heroic and more decadent. Although he was still only eighteen years old, his mentality was like an old man in his twilight years.

"Really---?" Qin Ming said these two words with difficulty, both surprise and doubt.

"Of course! Besides, Jiang Bin has been defeated, what's the use of keeping you? If my elders had not been patrolling the states recently and had no time to take care of you, you would have already gained freedom." The servant said, and sighed again: "It's a pity that you have been wasted for many days--"

Qin Ming was shocked when he heard the words, but he forced himself to hold back his emotions. However, the years in prison were so cruel that he had already wiped out his mind and nature. At this moment, the sadness and despair all surged on his face, allowing the servants to see clearly.

The servant helped up the handle of the chair, stood up as if relieved, and said, "Okay, let's do it! The door here is open for you at any time. When will you want to go out, decide for yourself!"

Halfway through the way, the servant thought of another thing and turned around and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that although Qin Lang betrayed you and surrendered to Prince Rui, he also committed suicide since Prince Rui was exiled, and in the end it was a beginning and an end."

The little strength that Qin Ming had accumulated was drawn by a sudden sentence from his servant.

There is no kindness to support, no grudges to avenge him. Qin Ming is alone, and the world is so great, where can he tolerate him? What is his use?

Qin Ming suddenly lost all his fun and goal. Going out was originally something he was looking forward to, but at this time it was like a useless rib and it was tasteless to eat, which was a pity.

"Master--" Hearing the footsteps of the servants, Qin Ming suddenly woke up and hurriedly called him.

Qin Ming was imprisoned for too long. Although he knew nothing about external affairs, he was not stupid. Soon he realized: it was impossible for the servants to kindly come and let him go out in person, just make a sound.

There is only one reason for pretending like this: Qin Ming is of value to use. He doesn't believe that the words of the servants are somewhat authentic. He is afraid that Qin Ming will never be able to turn over once the servants walk out of the door today.

The servant smiled slightly, but when he turned his head, he changed his expression of confusion. Even the guards standing beside him just felt a swaying in front of him, thinking it was an illusion.

"Is there anything else?" asked the servant.

"Yes - Yes - Something -" Qin Ming said word by word. More than a year of silence had made his vocal cords stiff and he couldn't even speak clearly. I was afraid that recovery would not take place for a day or two.

The servant seemed to have expected it and winked. The guard next to him hurriedly took out a stack of rice paper, put out pens and ink from the basket, and handed it to Qin Ming.

Since he had already spoken, Qin Ming had already expected this ending. So he took the pen happily and wrote down everything he knew like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

The servant watched from the side and nodded from time to time.

It took Qin Ming a full two hours to finish everything and hand it over to his servants.

The servant put a thick stack of rice paper in his hand, but took out a fire broker and burned it torch it.

"Master--" Qin Ming was stunned again. Which is the servant singing?

The servant smiled and said, "You are indeed right. Good ministers choose their masters and work. You are a person who knows the current affairs. But I judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain." He bowed to Qin Ming again.

"This-" Qin Ming was puzzled, wondering if Li Yan was too confident or had other intentions?

The servant stood up and waved his hand and said, "Brother Qin, please sit down!" The servant also sat on the ground, and his face gradually became solemn.

"To be honest, the sixteenth prince Liu Shi was suddenly murdered yesterday, which shocked the government and the people. Although Jiang Bin was defeated and demoted in the last verdict, and was placed under house arrest in Yongzhou, the tiger's power was still there. The emperor could not sleep at night and was unwilling to eat. King Ning had already made military deployments. Once Jiang Bin had any abnormal actions, he was ready to take action first.

"The people suffer. Once the war begins, they will suffer from the disaster. This is not what my adults want to see. I believe it is also what Brother Qin doesn't want to see. Please try your best to do it-"

After saying that, the servant stood up again and bowed deeply to Qin Ming.

This is the second time that the servant has bowed. Qin Ming sneered in his heart: I was tempted by coldly just now, but now I am bribed with hot words, but I am planning well. However, I, Qin Ming, agreed first. When I go out and see the governor, why not take a plan?

Qin Ming showed compassion on his face, nodded, and said, "So———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

When the servant heard the words, he smiled happily: "In this way, I have thanked Brother Qin for the people of the world!"

Qin Ming quickly stood up and also did superficial skills.

The servant picked out some important things that had happened outside for more than a year, and then briefly mentioned the current situation. Qin Ming occasionally asked questions, and the servant explained patiently. From noon to dusk, the two were still reluctant to leave.

Although the servants sincerely invited Qin Ming to rest in He Mansion for one night before leaving, Qin Ming still refused reasonably. He just accepted the gift from the servants and took advantage of the city gate that might not have left the capital.

……………………………………

Looking at Qin Ming's back as he was leaving, the servant stood behind Li Yan and asked in confusion: "Sir, isn't this letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "You will naturally know if you let the tiger return to the mountain when the time comes. But you remember everything that Qin Ming wrote?"

The servant pointed to his mind proudly and smiled: "Don't worry, sir, everyone is here, there is a word!"

It turned out that when the servant stood beside Qin Ming, he had already memorized all the contents thoroughly.
