Chapter 17
During this era, the princes were divided and the emperor only had the title of emperor, but had no jurisdiction over the vassal states. Each vassal state managed its own affairs, and there were constant frictions between them.
Liu Ze didn't know which master they were taking him to see. He was locked in the carriage during the journey and couldn't tell the directions. The chains on his hands were never taken off, and the man with facial paralysis sat outside the carriage driving it.
"I'm hungry!" Liu Ze shouted outside while kicking the door. He ignored the various snacks on the small table in the car until he stuffed in a cake that was as hard as a rock.
After a while, he shouted to the outside again: "I'm thirsty, I want water, not tea." After shouting several times, a water bag was stuffed in from outside.
Liu Ze drank the water in gulps and threw the water bag directly into the corner of the carriage.
The people following the car at the four corners looked at it in awe. When the car finally became quiet, they breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally quiet.
Just when they felt relieved, the sound of knocking on the door rang out again, and everyone's heart skipped a beat. It came again.
"I need to pee, let me down."
The four of them felt very sympathetic towards Yan Shisi, and then they all retreated together, feeling very unloved by their colleagues.
"Open the door, open it quickly, or I'll face the crack."
The carriage slowly stopped, and after a moment's pause Yan Shiliu made his first move, perhaps, possibly, taking a deep breath with the smallest amplitude.
Yan Shiliu opened the door and helped the person down.
Liu Ze stepped on the ground and stretched hard, feeling much more comfortable. Although the carriage was cushioned, he still felt uncomfortable and his back and waist ached.
The dead face man led people to a tree without saying a word.
Liu Ze was about to untie his belt when he felt something was wrong. He turned around and looked at the paralyzed man: "Why are you standing here?"
“……” His face was paralyzed and he didn’t move.
"I need to relax for a moment. It's not good for you to stand here like this."
“…….” Facial paralysis.
"No, brother. You can just turn your head. I'm really anxious. I can't figure it out if you look at me like that."
Liu Ze dared to guarantee that his expressionless eyes drifted downwards, with a look of contempt and disdain, and then he turned and looked in another direction.
Just that light-hearted look made Liu Ze explode again: "What do you mean by that look? Are you looking down on me?"
This was a matter of a man's self-esteem, and Liu Ze felt humiliated. Even though he was still a teenager and hadn't fully developed, there was no need for him to look at him in a mocking manner.
"I tell you, I'm just small now. When I grow up, I will definitely be bigger than yours." Liu Ze was no longer in a hurry and insisted on arguing with the man with facial paralysis.
"......" He made up his mind and remained silent. He really didn't want to argue with anyone on this matter. He didn't even know how his eyes looked down on others, so he could only respond casually: "Yes, you are older."
Liu Ze felt that he was being dealt with. He glanced at the dead man with a slanted eye angrily. After satisfying his physiological needs, he climbed back to the carriage angrily.
The carriage began to move forward with a clatter.
Liu Ze returned to the carriage. If he endured it for a while, he would get angrier and angrier. If he took a step back, he would feel more and more at a disadvantage, and he started to act up in the carriage again.
"I'm thirsty, give me water!" Knock, knock, knock.
The coachman with facial paralysis remained unmoved.
The other four people who followed the escort were very sympathetic to Yan Shiliu, so this gentleman believed that Yan Shiliu was making a fuss, perhaps because Yan Shiliu had offended someone.
The master told them to invite the person back, and the word "invite" was very firm. The treatment along the way must not be low, and they must be well fed and well served. Otherwise, according to their past behavior, they would have drugged the person and rested him when they got to the destination. He would definitely be unconscious on the way, so why would they let him go through such trouble?
There is also a ranking among the secret guards, and Yan Shiliu ranks third. Along the way, the four of them watched Yan Shiliu being tormented, and they felt secretly happy. They were all watching the show in secret and enjoying the fun, and no one suggested going up to attract fire.
But after such a long time, I felt a little sympathy for him. This young master was very vengeful. He thought that it was Yan Shiliu who captured him, and now they were locked up together. It was really a turmoil that made him have no peace at all.
It was not unfair. It was indeed Yan Shiliu who reported the information. Yan Shiliu had been guarding outside the mansion at the bottom of the valley and saw people flying out from inside with his own eyes.
When they found him on the cliff, he was fast asleep on a rock, even talking in his sleep. As soon as Yan Shiliu approached him, he turned around, hugged Yan Shiliu's calf, and cried, "Master." He looked very pitiful, aggrieved, and sobbing in his sleep.
Who knew that when it was asleep, it was as docile as a kitten, even rubbing against my trouser legs. But when it woke up, it turned into a little evil star, and when it saw it couldn't escape, it would think of making trouble for me.
Dong Dong Dong was still kicking the door: "Water, give me water!"
Finally, one of the other four couldn't stand it anymore and rode up to the carriage window and handed over the water bottle in his hand: "Sir, drink mine. You've already used up all of Yan Shiliu's water. He won't have any water until we reach our next stop."
Liu Ze looked at the water bag passed in from the window, thinking that the man with the paralyzed face would be thirsty all the way, and his mood immediately improved a lot: "Forget it, I'm not thirsty anymore."
The man put away the kettle, rode faster and looked at Yan Shiliu who was sitting in the front of the carriage and driving the carriage. He reached out and wanted to pat his shoulder sympathetically. No wonder he was ranked third, it was not easy.
Then, Yan Shiliu glared back at him coldly. The man cursed inwardly, "It's what you deserve, young master. Go on..."
The group returned to their original mode of rushing on the road. Liu Ze, who had calmed down, happily took two bites of snacks, drank the tea in the cup, poured it on the cushion, and waited for the young master to rest before continuing.
The carriage swayed and soon Liu Ze began to snore.
A man came up and looked inside the car, then whispered, "He must have drunk some tea and fallen asleep."
"It's a good thing he's asleep. Ercheng is just ahead. Once we pass Ercheng, we'll be on our territory. If he's asleep and doesn't make any noise, we can pass through smoothly."
"The master has instructed us to treat them with great courtesy. It's the first time we've kidnapped someone and brought him back like this. It's too difficult." This was also the first time they had seen such a noisy group of people. In the past, most of them were dead, and even those they wanted to bring back were half-dead.
"It's rare to have some quiet time. Let's walk faster without making any noise."
Yan Shiliu, who had been driving the carriage with his body tense, relaxed a little. Although he did not participate in their conversation, he sped up the carriage.
He also didn't understand how a person's appearance when asleep and when awake could be so different.
In order to travel as quickly as possible, we had dry biscuits and water at noon, and rode our horses straight towards Ercheng.
"Yan Shiliu, come over here and have a piece. Didn't the people in the car take your pancake away?"
"No, if he knew I had eaten, he would probably make a fuss again." Yan Shiliu was also afraid. He just wanted to have some peace and quiet and quickly send the man to the master to report.
"You're such a fool! How can you tell if you've eaten even though you're asleep?"
Yan Shiliu still refused.
