After being busy for days, Si Yiluo rarely took half a day off. He washed up early in the evening and leaned on the bedside, holding a military book in front of the lamp and reading.
"Master Si, help!"
A scream pierced the sky, and something was heading straight towards her yard!
Si Yiluo put on her shoes and walked to the door. A shadow suddenly hid behind her, and the wind from her palm hit the door. She didn't think much and instinctively waved her palm to face the person.
The huge impact caused her to take half a step back. Si Yiluo used his energy to force the man to do a backflip and land in the center of the yard.
Wei Heyan's robes were flying, his face was full of anger, and his murderous aura spread out, making her couldn't help but shudder.
Si Yiluo was shocked. He looked back at Si Hai who was hiding behind him and asked in confusion: "What happened?"
Wei Heyan had never been so angry before. Si Hai was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder split apart. It took him a while to recover, bypassed Si Yiluo who was blocking the front, walked to the yard and knelt down with a plop.
"Master Governor, this slave is wrong. You want to beat or kill me, but I will never resist!"
He just reacted completely subconsciously. His feet reacted faster than his brain. His intuition told him that only Si Yiluo could save him!
Wei Heyan was startled by Si Yiluo's deep inner strength. His anger was transferred and he calmed down his momentum. He looked at Si Hai with eyes that were no different from looking at a dead person.
"This servant doesn't know how to behave and is disturbing Sir Si..."
He turned around and walked out. Si Hai stood up hesitantly and followed him. The way he shrank his neck reminded Si Yiluo of his past life. Every time she made a mistake when she was a child, Si Hai accompanied her and was punished. The two of them had feelings for Wei Heyan.
It should be the same.
Si Hai must have violated the taboo when it was good for him.
"Supervisor!" Si Yiluo called to Wei Heyan, "Eunuch Sihai is loyal to you. No matter what mistakes he has made, for the sake of sincerity, you are so generous."
Si Hai smiled gratefully at her and immediately retracted when he felt Wei Heyan's gaze.
"What position does Mr. Si stand on teaching this governor? Or does it mean that Mr. Si also has to take care of my own people? How about I give him to you now?"
"This slave only follows the Overlord!" Si Hai knelt down, hugged his legs tightly, and burst into tears. "This slave is born as the Overlord's servant, and dies as the Overlord's ghost. This slave realizes his mistake.
Lord Governor, please spare this slave this time..."
Si Yiluo frowned, but didn't speak again. With Wei Heyan's temper, if others didn't persuade him, he might be given a lighter punishment. Once he refuted his face, the consequences would be disastrous.
The girl's hair was spread loosely behind her head, and her nightgown was so wide that it made her face look as small as a palm, and her body was so thin that it could be blown away by a gust of wind.
"Farewell!"
Wei Heyan's throat rolled, he threw up his sleeves and left.
A long bench was placed in front of the hall, and Si Hai leaned on it resignedly.
"Lord Governor, it doesn't matter if my slave endures hardship or fatigue. Don't bother yourself. You want to eat fish. The kitchen has already prepared a fish feast. You should finish your dinner first!"
Wei Heyan sat on the Taishi chair, looking through him at the ground.
"Twenty big boards, after finishing the fight, go to solitary confinement!"
The sound of the board hitting people was muffled. Si Hai could endure it at first, but later he couldn't help but scream.
Wei Heyan closed his eyes, got up and left in the middle of the fight.
Si Hai was the popular person in front of him. Without his supervision, the guard who was holding the board used clever tricks to make him suffer less. Even so, he was still dizzy from the pain and his vision was dark.
Wei Heyan's methods were harsh and no one dared to visit him even when he was locked up.
Si Hai lay on the ground and was in a daze until late at night. His throat was dry and sore, and the wounds on his body were burning. He touched his forehead and judged that he must have a fever.
There were footsteps stopping in front of him.
"The Governor..."
Si Yiluo handed the water to his mouth, and he instinctively reached out to hold the water glass. After finishing the drink, Si Yiluo took the kettle and gave him another glass.
"Master Si?"
Si Hai quenched his thirst and raised his upper body with both hands. Si Yiluo brought him a few more steamed buns.
He had been punished so many times in the past, but he had to bear it all by himself every time. This was the first time someone dared to disobey the governor's order and give him food and drink.
It would be a lie to say that I am not impressed.
But he remained vigilant.
"Why are you approaching me? Let me tell you, don't think that if you give me a small favor, I will betray the Governor and work for you! I will never betray the Governor to my death!"
Si Yiluo stuffed the buns into him.
"I didn't ask you to betray the governor. Let's eat the steamed buns stuffed with pickles and oil residue."
Si Hai likes to eat oily buns the most, but Wei Heyan doesn't like greasy food, so when he is with Wei Heyan, he rarely gets to eat what he likes.
"How do you know I like to eat fried dumplings?"
Following Wei Heyan, Sihai had irregular meals. Sihai didn't eat lunch or dinner. She was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back. She was dizzy or hungry.
He couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the bun and took a big bite.
The buns were very fragrant, but Si Hai started to cry.
"When I was young, I could only eat the oily buns made by my mother once during the Chinese New Year... At that time, I thought the oily buns were the most delicious thing in the world..."
"Later, my mother was gone, my father was gone, and I was sold by my uncles. I couldn't have anything to eat until I followed the governor. I was very content..."
Si Yiluo was afraid that he would choke, so he poured water for him.
"Why do I feel that this scene is so familiar... Si Yiluo, although we are in different camps, I really don't resent your appearance. I even feel that this is how it should be. Why do you think this is?"
Sihai was so impressed by the deliciousness of the fried dumplings that she cried, "How do you know I like eating fried dumplings?"
The second time he asked this question, Si Yiluo sighed: "Because I also like to eat, and I am a little better than you. When I was a child, my father could bring back food from the military camp every year, and my mother would exchange food for food every month."
Order the meat, refine the oil for cooking, and wrap the remaining oil residue into steamed buns."
"My mother's craftsmanship is very good."
Si Yiluo took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and placed it on the ground.
"There is golden sore medicine in this. You can put some on it yourself when you are full. I'm leaving."
Si Yiluo quietly came out of the firewood shed, climbed onto the roof and left the house quietly. Wei Heyan walked out from the shadow of the tree, stared at the direction she disappeared for a long time, put the golden sore medicine on the stone table, turned and left.
The earth was still sleeping. Outside the posthouse sixty miles outside the city, several black figures leaned against the wall of the posthouse. They took out an oil paper bag from their arms and sprinkled Mongolian sweat medicine on it.
A man climbed up the wall and threw the chicken legs that had been sprayed with sweat medicine into the dog cage.
After the watchdog fell asleep, the man made a gesture, and the shadows rushed into the post house. Taking advantage of the darkness, they reached the room of the Bei Liao envoy and scratched the sleeping man's carotid artery with a dagger.
Shen Moran suddenly woke up from her sleep, holding her neck and gasping for air. The feeling of a knife cutting into her flesh in her sleep was so real and clear that she could no longer sleep.
"Miss, did you have a nightmare?" Bi Tao rubbed her eyes and lit the lamp, "Would you like some water?"
Shen Moran asked: "What time is it now?"
It was dark outside the window, and Bi Tao walked to the bed with a water glass.
"It's just past the ugly time."
Shen Moran recalled the scene she saw in her dream, and recalled that Si Yiluo had mentioned to her during the day that the envoy from Bei Liao was about to arrive in Shengjing City. She had such a dream at night.
She thinks about it day by day and dreams about it at night. Maybe she is too nervous.
He took out a list from under his pillow. There were many officials implicated in the fire at the fireworks workshop. There would be many vacancies when the time came. Jiang Si's position might be promoted.
