The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 12 If Ye Shi deceived me
jail.

The big gray-brown rat that loved to visit the door was tied to the cell railing in a large shape, making a panicked "squeaking" sound. Its long tail, as thick as a little finger, was curled and twisted, and its long beard trembled in the air.

Zhu Xiu squatted in front of the big mouse, took a small wooden stick and poked it in the belly curiously.

The best way to overcome fear is to face it.

After swatting several cockroaches to death with his shoes, Zhu Xiu decided to get up close and personal with rats, a creature that is even more disgusting than cockroaches.

The person who caught the mouse and completed the feat of tying it up was the prison warden Ma San, a guy who looked like a Garfield cat and had a big face that looked like he had been hit by a pan.

Ma San was very kind to Zhu Xiu, and would come to talk to him from time to time to relieve his boredom.

Ma San was better than the left guard soldiers guarding the door of the cell, and Fu's personal guards, and the daily takeaway food and drinks were delivered on time.

If the two soldiers hadn't bothered to pay attention to him, Zhu Xiu felt that Ma San would not pay attention to him.

When Ma San performed a rope show with a mouse, he specifically asked Zhu Xiu not to play the mouse to death, as it was the main ingredient in his soup.

Pan Mei came with a jug of wine and ordered Fu's personal guards and the left guard soldiers to stand elsewhere, away from the cell.

Pan Mei is a bastard, and the Left Guard soldiers don't want to provoke her. They can say anything as long as Zhu Xiu is not released from prison.

When there were only Zhu Xiu and Pan Mei inside and outside the cell, Pan Mei fell to the ground, uncorked the wine bottle, took a deep drink, wiped her mouth, and handed the wine bottle through the wooden railing.

Zhu Xiu glanced at the drooling spout, shook his head in disgust, and said sternly: "You are young, drinking affects your development."

Pan Mei didn't force it, her face was dejected, and she tried to get drunk alone.

Zhu Xiu continued to tease the big mouse with a small wooden stick.

The wine pot was bottomed out, Pan Mei's eyes were blurred, and she began to slowly tell what happened before and after Tianxiong's army entered the city today.

After listening, Zhu Xiu finally understood why Pan Mei looked so depressed.

"So, you know now that Chai Rong is more handsome than you, taller than you, more resourceful than you, better at martial arts than you, richer than you, with a stronger backing than you, with a higher official position and more soldiers than you. More than you, more promising than you, more popular with older girls than you."

Pan Mei was stunned, looking at Zhu Xiu's face full of ridicule, she seemed to have sobered up a little bit from the drunkenness, and said depressedly: "Listening to what you said, I seem to be useless."

Zhu Xiu laughed dryly: "That's not the case. It's just that you shouldn't compare with Chai Rong."

Pan Mei clenched her old fist tightly and said angrily: "What do you mean by this? In terms of martial arts, Chai may be better than X! But when it comes to fighting, huh~ X may not lose to him! If he is not Marshal Guo's nephew and adopted son, How can you lead the Tianxiong Army?"

Zhu Xiu said quickly: "You are right! At least Chai Rong is not as good as you in one thing!"

Pan Mei's eyes widened with joy: "Which point?"

Zhu Xiu frowned and thought carefully: "My voice is not as loud as yours~~" and she added in her heart: "Maybe my life will not be as long as yours."

The flesh on Pan Mei's face trembled, her eyes were as wide as bells, and she was on the verge of rage.

"Hey! You're just kidding, there's no need to be angry." Zhu Xiu quickly bowed and apologized.

"Ugh"

Pan Mei drank the last few sips of wine, leaned against the railing and sighed, slightly bitterly: "Chai Rong is only five years older than me, and he can command the Tianxiong Army on his own. In another five years, I will not be able to sit with him. position. I am not jealous, but I feel really unhappy when I think that all the achievements I have accumulated over many years of fighting in Dingzhou have been wiped out in vain."

Zhu Xiu patted his thick shoulder through the railing and consoled him: "A lot of things can happen in five years, and it is impossible to change the day. Old Pan, as long as you follow Fu or Marshal Guo closely from now on, It will not be difficult to become a general of an army in five years!

Oh, by the way, there is another prerequisite. You must have a good relationship with Chai Rong and don't offend him, otherwise we will have to meet again in the next life! "

Zhu Xiuya mumbled the last sentence in a low voice, but I don't know if Pan Mei heard it clearly.

After drinking wine and complaining, Pan Mei felt much relieved. She patted her butt and stood up, saying: "Now that the Khitan army is approaching, there may be a fierce battle to be fought. The military affairs will be busy in the next period, I'm afraid. I have no time to take care of you, so be careful."

Zhu Xiuba stood on the railing and said: "Chai Rong is also the defense envoy of Cangzhou. He has great authority. Can you ask the lady to ask Chai Rong for a favor and let me out of prison? If Chai Rong orders my release, Liu Chengyou won't be able to stop him even if he wants to!"

Pan Mei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said angrily: "I'm afraid you're not talking in your sleep! Madam and Chai Rong are completely unfamiliar with each other when they meet for the first time. How can I intercede for you? How can Chai Rong let you out at the risk of offending Liu Chengyou?"
Chai Rong is the nephew of Marshal Guo. Marshal Guo has now been promoted to deputy privy envoy, and his status in the new court is higher than that of Marshal Fu!Do you really think that the word "Fu" can be used wherever you go? "

Zhu Xiu was stunned and murmured in disbelief: "How could Chai Rong and Mrs. Fu not be familiar with each other? Aren't they old lovers?"

Pan Mei was so frightened that she wanted to cover Zhu Xiu's mouth: "What are you talking nonsense about? Are you looking for death? The eldest lady is already married, and Chai Rong is also a married man. How could it be... that!"

With a muffled "thud", Pan Mei gave Zhu Xiu a gentle shudder on the forehead, scolded her in a low voice, and left the prison along the dark corridor.

Zhu Xiu covered her head and slowly slid to the ground, leaning against the railing. She couldn't care less about the pain, and her head was filled with mush.

It turns out that Chai Rong and Fu Jinzhan did not meet each other when they were young and had a mutual love for each other as unofficial history said. Later, due to various reasons, they separated and married each other, until Uncle Guo angrily seized Liu Han's kingdom. , Chai Rong could not let go of his old lover, so he begged Uncle Guo to allow him to marry Fu Jinzhan.

"Damn it, unofficial history is unofficial history, it's really unreliable!"

Zhu Xiu cursed angrily and patted his bald head hard.

After sitting in jail for more than a month, his mind was so confused that he could hardly tell which of the huge miscellaneous books he read in his previous life were official history and which were romance novels.

"It seems that the plan to release me from prison by relying on Fu Jinzhan to intercede with Chai Rong will be difficult to realize. But now in Cangzhou City, the only one who can suppress Liu Chengyou and save my life is Chai Rong!

But how can I attract Chai Rong's attention and use his power to save my life? "

Zhu Xiu touched his bald head and paced in the cell, thinking hard.
