Xu Anmo, the commander of the Qingli Army who caused the rebellion, was hunted down on the third day. When the news came, Mei Changsu and Prince Jing were sitting face to face, discussing the follow-up matters after returning to Beijing. After hearing the news, both of them were

Very happy.

"Xu Anmo must be detained alone. He must not be beaten or scolded. He must be returned to the capital alive and well." Prince Jing immediately ordered.

"Yes!" Lie Zhanying, one of his arms hanging, unable to clasp his fists, bowed and said, "The people who take turns guarding him are all from our Prince Jing's Palace, Your Highness, don't worry."

"Did he say anything?" Mei Changsu asked.

"He screamed all the way, claiming that he was deceived by King Yu."

"It seems that he is not planning to sacrifice himself to save Prince Yu," Mei Changsu couldn't help but smile, "Prince Yu and Xia Jiang have gone to a dead end on their own, and it's really no one else's fault. However, the queen still has to trouble the imperial concubine to plead for her.

After all, it is not appropriate for the mother of the country to be executed, and she is the sister of Marquis Yan."

"My mother has expressed this intention, I think she will try her best." Prince Jing seemed to be aroused by him, and his eyes flashed with some meaning, "When I went in to pay my respects today, my father cursed Xia Jiang at me again.

After a while, he even showed me Xia Jiang’s confession.”

"This is very good. Showing it to His Highness means that His Majesty does not believe it."

"That's right. My father doesn't believe a word of Xia Jiang's confession, but you and I know in our hearts that most of what he said is probably the truth and not a random accusation." Prince Jing stared deeply into the counselor's eyes, "But I can't figure it out.

What's more, since he is trying his best to tell the truth, why does he insist on saying that you are an old friend of King Qi? This statement is unfounded and will make people think that he is jumping over the wall. Xia Jiang shouldn't be such a stupid person, right?

"

"He's not stupid," Mei Changsu chuckled, "I told him that."

"oh?"

"King Qi is a thorn in Xia Jiang's heart. His fear of you, Your Highness, is all caused by King Qi. It is easier for me to call myself King Qi's old friend to make him emotionally unstable, which will help to promote my subsequent plans."

"So that's it..." Prince Jing leaned back with a pale face. He didn't know whether he believed it or not, but he didn't continue to ask.

Mei Changsu arranged the documents spread out on the table and was about to find another topic to talk about when suddenly there was a commotion outside the house.

"Go and see what's going on." Prince Jing frowned and raised his chin to Lie Zhanying, who immediately ran out and soon came in with Qi Meng.

"Your Highness! We caught it!" Qi Meng's face was full of excitement, he knelt down in the middle and said loudly.

"I know you have caught it. Zhan Ying has just reported it back and forth."

Lie Zhanying hurriedly said: "No, no, Qi Meng is not talking about Xu Anmo."

"What if it's not Xu Anmo? It deserves your excitement..."

"Monster, Your Highness, what a coincidence. It actually ran near Jiu'an Mountain. We went to search for the rebels and unexpectedly surrounded it. Hehehe, hehehehe." Qi Meng kept saying it for a while.

Silly fun.

Prince Jing was not as obsessed with any monster as he was. He thought for a while before he finally realized: "Oh, it's the Jingzhao Yamen who came to ask for help. It's the monster you haven't caught for more than a year."

"His Highness has been caught. We have caught him. He is outside in an iron cage. Do you want to take a look, Your Highness?"

Prince Jing waved his hands uninterested, and Mei Changsu took the opportunity to stand up and said, "I would like to see if Your Highness will allow me to resign?"

"Sir, please do as you please."

Mei Changsu bowed slightly, bowed, and retreated with Qi Meng. Prince Jing picked up a document placed on the top of the desk, opened it, and before he could see half a page, a scream suddenly sounded outside.

"Mr. Su!"

"It's dangerous... hurry, hurry..."

"Mr. Su, no..."

Jamel Xiao stood up and rushed out with Lie Zhanying. When he took the first glance, his heart almost skipped a beat.

In the corner of the spacious courtyard, there was an iron cage half as tall as a man. Sitting in the cage was a furry dark brown thing, which was struggling violently. Mei Changsu's body was surrounded by several frightened Prince Jing's relatives.

Bing was blocking it and couldn't see it, but the pair of pale arms had obviously been pulled into the cage, and both palms were trapped in the monster's brown hair.

"What happened?" Prince Jing's face instantly turned blue, and he shouted as he rushed forward, "Don't be stunned, hurry up and save people!"

But when he rushed closer to see more clearly, he was as stunned as his subordinates. It turned out that the monster was not holding Mei Changsu's arm forcibly. On the contrary, it was hiding. It was just that the cage was too small and it didn't care.

No matter how hard he tried to hide, Mei Changsu wouldn't let go of his wrist.

"Don't be afraid...don't be afraid...it doesn't matter, it will be fine, it's fine..." Completely ignoring the chaos around him, Mei Changsu concentrated on comforting the monster in the cage, "I won't hurt you,

I will help you, don’t move, let me touch..."

The monster was quiet for a moment, and let Mei Changsu fumble with his left wrist. But not long after, it started to stir again and kept breathing hot air.

"It's red, it's red, its eyes are red," Qi Meng yelled, "Mr. Su, get out of the way, it's going to suck blood when its eyes are red, and it almost sucked someone's blood on the way!"

Prince Jing was startled, grabbed Mei Changsu's arm and pulled it out.

"Let go!" Mei Changsu pounced on him as soon as he was pulled away, "Didn't you see that he was holding back? It's true that he wanted to suck blood, especially human blood. Only by sucking it would relieve his pain, but

He has been enduring it, and he is trying hard to control himself not to hurt others, don't you see?"

As if to match his words, the monster suddenly roared and struggled painfully in the cage. Mei Changsu held the railing of the iron cage and stared at it deeply, and suddenly shouted: "Qi Meng!"

"Eh? In..."

"Give me your knife."

"What?"

"Bring the knife!" Mei Changsu shouted sharply, and Qi Meng jumped as if on reflex, blankly pulled out the knife and handed it over. However, Mei Changsu did not reach out to catch the knife handle, but put his wrist on the handle.

Pulling up the blade, a two-minute-long gash was created, and blood suddenly poured out. Qi Meng was so frightened that he dropped the knife to the ground.

"It doesn't matter, come on, take a few puffs first." Mei Changsu stretched his bloody wrist between the iron bars, handed it to the monster's mouth, and said softly, "There is medicine in my blood, you will feel better.

, Come on, don’t be afraid, if you don’t suck it, nothing will happen to me... If you don’t suck it, the blood will be in vain..."

The monster gasped and resisted for a while, but in the end it couldn't resist the bright red blood beads and grabbed Mei Changsu's wrist in one bite. There were screams of surprise all around, and Prince Jing couldn't help but take two steps forward.

However, everything was as Mei Changsu said. This monster was unwilling to hurt people. It only took less than ten puffs, and after a little relief from the pain, it took the initiative to let go of its mouth, and it could be persuaded no matter what.

Refuse to smoke anymore.

"Bring the key." Mei Changsu simply tied the wound on his wrist with a handkerchief, stood up and stretched out his hand towards Qi Meng, "The key to the iron cage."

Qi Meng, who had been stunned by the scene just now, handed over the key like a puppet. Mei Changsu quickly opened the iron cage and helped the monster out.

"Your Highness, I will take care of this man. Can he share a room with me?"

"this person?"

"Yes, maybe it doesn't look like him, but he is a human being." Mei Changsu's eyes, which were usually calm and cold, now looked very hot, "If it is inconvenient here, I will take him to camp outside. I just want to ask His Highness to send someone."

help me."

Jamel Xiao looked at him blankly, a little dizzy, as if he had not recovered from the shock just now. Mei Changsu did not rush him, but supported the "person" beside him and waited quietly.

After a long time, Prince Jing finally came to his senses. He looked at the door of the west room, then at Mei Changsu's determined expression, coughed and said, "Sir, since you are so sure, it's okay to live here, but please be careful."

some."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Mei Changsu showed a faint smile on his face, bowed, and dragged the "person" in his hand into his west room. Prince Jing frowned and motioned for Lie Zhanying to follow him.

After a while, Lie Zhanying came out and ordered to prepare hot water and a bathtub. Then he entered the main room and said to Prince Jing: "Mr. Su didn't say anything to that...that person. He just kept comforting him and found some medicine for him.

He eats. Now the man is very quiet, and Mr. Su wants to give him a bath again."

Prince Jing frowned, gently rubbed the wrist of his right hand with his left hand, and said to himself: "But just because it's a human being, you generally wouldn't go so far as to suck your own blood from him, right?"

Lie Zhanying blinked, not knowing what to say, so he could only stand speechless. After a while, Qi Meng also came in, cupped his fists, and said in a confused voice: "Your Highness, it turns out he is a white man.

.”

"What's white?"

"That monster... uh, that person, I found out after washing it that the hair on his body was white. It was just that he was rolled too dirty, so I always thought it was brown hair."

"Qi Meng!" Lie Zhanying scolded, "Why are you telling His Highness these unimportant things?"

"Your Highness doesn't want to know..."

"That's not what Your Highness wants to know. Come down quickly." Seeing that Prince Jing was dull and silent, Lie Zhanying hurriedly drove Qi Meng out.

Outside the hospital, two soldiers carried out the dirty water, and someone brought clean towels. Qi Meng was not used to the fact that the monster that he had worked hard to catch for a year suddenly became a "human".

, so he stood outside the west room door for a moment, then went in to take a look again.

The white-haired man was now lying on Mei Changsu's bed, curled up in a ball, with the long hair on his face covering his facial features. He did not resist when Mei Changsu inspected any part of his body, but as soon as he touched his left wrist,

Then he would instinctively twitch and hide his wrist in his arms.

Qi Meng stood back and stared blankly for a long time. Mei Changsu didn't pay attention to him, which made him feel very bored. He went out by himself. But as soon as he left, Mei Changsu immediately closed the doors and windows.

He returned to the bed and tried to pull the white-haired man's wrist out, but this time he was still rejected.

"You don't need to hide it, I know what it is," Mei Changsu said quietly, "That is the bracelet of the Red Flame Army. It is engraved with everyone's name. Once killed in battle, even if the body is damaged, you can still pass through

The bracelet identifies the skeleton, right?”

The whole body of the white-haired man trembled violently, his throat made a "whirring" sound due to excitement, and his teeth also chattered.

"I just want to see your name and see if there is anything else I can help you with," Mei Changsu gently stroked his back and whispered in his ear, "Here, let me take a look.

So what if we take a look? Could it be worse?"

The white-haired man seemed to be persuaded by him, and his stiff body slowly relaxed. Mei Changsu gently and carefully pulled his wrist and slowly pushed away the long hair. As the arm swelled and became thicker, a finger-width

The silver ring has been deeply embedded in the flesh, and the surface of the ring is also a little black and blurry, but the double cloud flame pattern unique to the Red Flame Army and the name surrounded by the flame pattern can still be identified.

Mei Changsu looked at the name with a face as pale as snow, his vision gradually blurred, he blinked and tears rolled down his eyes, but his vision only became clear for a moment before it became blurry again.

The white-haired man sat up with a heavy breath, his eyes peered behind his long hair at the man who was crying without scruples in front of him. He opened his mouth, but only made a harsh "ho ho" sound.

After an unknown amount of time, Mei Changsu finally raised his hand, wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeve, took a deep breath, and smiled.

"Brother Nie Feng, it's great that you're still alive..." After saying this, Lin Shu finally couldn't help but feel excited and opened his arms to hug his former comrade tightly.
