Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sat in the restaurant, waiting for Ximen Yao to bring news.
During this time, the news related to Long Qiaoguang and General Youlian became more and more powerful, and when it came to it, the legend of General Youlian and his special identity aroused the collective curiosity of the people of Kaifeng.
As a famous general, once there is no current conflict of interests, then a famous general is just a simple famous general.
As one of the few Confucian generals in the world, coupled with the master of the famous right general, people have infinite longing for this marksman, who is known as the Lotus Divine Bow and the Meteor General.
Zhan Zhao's face, which has been tense for the past few days, finally appeared with a smile, and his eyes were unusually gentle with his distracted eyes holding the teacup, Bai Yutang could probably guess that Zhan Zhao was probably thinking about the bits and pieces of coexistence with Wu Yiyi in the process of growing up, and maybe he also thought of the other old people in the Demon Palace, those legendary people who were once as bright as stars, and left the best side in Zhan Zhao's memory.
Kaifeng Fuli.
Hong Jiuniang and Wu Yiyi went out for breakfast, and when they came back, Jiuniang was in a good mood and hummed a little song.
In the courtyard, Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi, who were about to go to Taixue with Bao Yan, asked her curiously, "Aunt Jiu, what's the happy thing?"
Jiuniang reached out and pinched the cheeks of the two children, smiled and continued to work on herself.
Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi glanced at each other, and at the same time raised their faces to look at Wu Yiwu who came in with Jiu Niang.
The sick scholar also seemed to be quite helpless, so he walked around the courtyard and asked Zhao Pu, who was wiping a knife, "What about that?"
"At the range."
Zhao Pu said, put down the knife, and said, "Ouyang said that you should go and see Qiao Guang shoot arrows." ” Wu Yiwu was slightly stunned and asked Zhao Pu, "He just practiced all night, and he practiced."
Zhao Pu held his chin and said, "I didn't see it, but the red hair saw it." ” "We've seen it too," Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi jumped up and gossiped to Wu Yijiu, describing how Long Qiaoguang shot the willow tree into a sieve.
However, Wu Yiwu's focus was not on the willow tree, but on asking, "He shot the arrow target in half" Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi nodded.
Xiao Liangzi was also curious, "The horizontal and vertical incisions like knives, how do you do it with a bow and arrow, shouldn't the arrow you shoot through it be a hole?"
Wu Yiwu touched his chin lightly, turned around and went out.
As soon as he walked to the door, he felt that the hem of his clothes was being pulled, and when he looked down, Granny Blackwater raised her face and looked at him.
Wu Yiwu was helpless, "I'm so adult, you're still afraid that I won't be able to go out and lose it" Granny Blackwater stretched out her hand, which meant to hold hands The sick scholar had no choice but to stretch out his hand to her, and the mother-in-law of Heishui grabbed Wu Yiwu's hand and went out together.
In the eyes of outsiders, it's just a scholar holding a cute white-haired girl.
Kaifeng Fuli.
Tianzun asked Yin Hou, "What are you doing with the sick bag?"
Yin Hou smiled, "It's the same as you." ” Tianzun blinked, tilting his head in confusion, "the same" "After a hundred years of searching, I finally found someone who can inherit the mantle."
Yin Hou smiled, "Congratulations." ” On the side, the corners of Zhao Pu's mouth moved slightly, and he continued to wipe the knife in a good mood.
Wu Yiwu dragged the mother-in-law of Heishui out of Kaifeng Mansion together, but did not go to the barracks, but came to Taixue.
In Taixue, Lin Fuzi and Lin Xiao have already arrived, and many students living in the school have also gotten up and are preparing for class.
Lin Xiao saw that Wu Yicalamity was coming, and hurriedly greeted him, "Young Master." ” Wu Yiwu asked, "Zishan, what I put in Qingshan Temple" "I'll keep it," Lin Fuzi quickly replied.
Back then, in the letter that Wu Yicao gave him, in addition to asking him to join the head of the Tai Academy, he also asked him to go to Qingshan Temple to get something and help save it.
Lin Xiao ran into Taixue's study, rummaged through the cabinets, took out a huge ebony box, and ran out with it, giving Wu a disaster.
Wu Yiwu stretched out his hand to take it and smiled slightly, "Thank you." ” Lin Xiao sent Wu Yiwu out of the door, and asked with some curiosity, "Young Master, do you take this?"
Wu Yiwu nodded.
Lin Xiao was overjoyed and said hello to Wu Yiyi, "Congratulations to the young master." ” Wu Yiwu smiled, reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "You don't need to be sad. ” Lin Xiao was slightly stunned.
Wu Yiwu said lightly, "Don't be sad to call Xiao Yuanzi and Lian'er." ” After speaking, he reached out and gently touched Lin Xiao's head, then turned around and pulled Granny Heishui away.
Lin Xiao stood in place dumbfounded, when he was a child, the young master often touched his head like this when he was sad, and said, "Don't be sad, everyone is destined to lose everything, it's just the difference between early and late, there's nothing to be sad about." ” Lin Fuzi let out a long sigh.
At this time, Lin Xiao ran out, "Master, what are you reading for class?"
Lin Fuzi came back to his senses and replied, "When the four courtyards compete, you go to the painting competition."
Lin Xiao was slightly stunned.
Lin Fuzi patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Let's draw a lotus." ” Lin Xiao scratched his head, "What kind of lotus?"
Lin Fuzi pointed at Wu Yiwu, who was walking away, and said lightly, "That's it." ” After speaking, Lin Xiao turned around and entered the house, leaving Lin Xiao standing at the door dumbfounded, looking at the back of Wu Yiwu in the distance.
Maybe the light is too strong, Wu Yiwu is white, and from a distance, there is a feeling of almost transparency.
Lin Xiao suddenly thought about how many generations he had walked alone with such a back Whether it was Wu Yicao, the Black Water Mother-in-law beside him, or Tianzun and Yin Hou, their backs all gave Lin Xiao a strong feeling No matter how eagerly you look forward to it, this back will never look back.
When the years have passed for too long, looking back has no meaning, because it has long been lost.
Perhaps, everyone's worries about Wu Yiyi are superfluous, people who have come so far know how to move forward better than anyone else; The heart that has endured all the past, like his martial arts, is supreme and indestructible Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang waited for a while, and then they heard footsteps on the stairs, and a familiar voice came from them, "Hurry up, go and prepare a brazier." ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, this voice was so similar to Ximen Yao, why did he come back so soon, preparing the brazier I was thinking about it, and sure enough, I saw Ximen Yao sneaking up, as always, frivolous, dressed coquettishly enough, holding a scholar fan in his hand, and asked the guy to take the brazier and grapefruit leaves when he went upstairs.
Because this place is quite close to the prison, there are preparations in the inn, and many prisoners who have been released from prison have to cross the brazier before coming to eat here.
The man took a brazier and put it on the steps, and took a grapefruit leaf to dip in water.

When everything was ready, I saw a big man with a burly figure walking up, stepping over the brazier, and the guy took a grapefruit leaf and poured water on him, and he didn't do it, "Oh, why are you tossing this?"
"What you want, what you want, get rid of bad luck."
After speaking, Ximen Yao turned around and beckoned to the stunned Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Yo" The big man raised his head, saw Bai Yutang at a glance, and was also surprised, "Bai Lao Wu" Bai Yutang couldn't react a little, and just nodded at him.
Simon dragged the big man to the table and sat down.
Zhan Zhao blinked.
Bai Yutang came back to his senses and asked Ximen Yao, "Didn't you rob a prison by the way?"
Ximen Yao was choked by the tea and coughed, waved his hand, and said, "It's a coincidence, it's just Huai San out of prison today."
Bai Yutang was surprised, but he still introduced it to Zhan Zhao, the big man in front of him was called Huai Ben, and his acquaintances called him Huai San, the one Bai Yutang told Zhan Zhao before, a friend in the prison.
Huai San scratched his head, puzzled, "How do you know that I came to pick me up when I was released from prison today" said, looking at Bai Yutang suspiciously, "There's no reason for you to pick me up too" Bai Yutang pointed to Zhanzhao on the opposite side and introduced Huai San, "This is Zhanzhao." ” Huai San was surprised, "Oh Nan Knight." ” Zhan Zhao could see that he was from the rivers and lakes, so he arched his hand to him, "Brother Huai." ” Huai San waved his hand, "Just call Huai San like them."
As he spoke, he asked his buddy for a drink.
"This is coming out early" Bai Yutang was still a little confused, such a coincidence "It's just a coincidence," Ximen Yao said, "I just entered the prison and handed over the name post, saying that I wanted to visit the prison, and the jailer told me that he would be released today, so I picked him up." ” So, everyone looked at Huai San, what was going on Huai San drank wine and said, "The day before yesterday, there was a fire in the prison, and I found out and saved a few people, but Liu Zheng said that I had merit and reduced my sentence, so I was released every other day."
"It's good to come out," Ximen Yao served him vegetables, "I'll make an appointment with Dong Xiao and them for dinner in a while, and I'll celebrate for you." ” Huai San smiled, "It's just a few of you who are still worried about me." ” While eating, Huai San looked at Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, and said, "Lord Zhan is out of the horse, and there is a case to investigate that has something to do with me."
Zhan Zhao smiled, this Huai San looks like a cheerful person, look at his style of doing things, it should be rough and detailed, although he is upright but he is not mixed, at least he will run to turn himself in if he kills the maid by mistake.
Zhanzhao was very happy to say what he wanted to do.
Huai San shook his head, "Liu Zheng is not simple. ” Zhanzhao nodded, waiting for him to continue.
Huai San put down the dishes and chopsticks, touched his chin, and began to ponder, and then said, "As soon as you say that, maybe the fire is not simple, I said that there was a fire in the middle of the night for no reason."
"In the prison, in fact, not everything Liu Zheng has the final say, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Imperial City Army, including Kaifeng Mansion, can all speak."
Zhan Zhao said, "The fire is not small, someone will investigate, how could it catch fire for no reason?"
Huai San nodded, "Now that I think about it, Liu Zheng may be afraid that I will find something out in advance" said, the big man slapped his chest, "It's so dangerous, if Liu Zheng didn't let me out but killed me, I guess I would still be in the dark" Zhan Zhao frowned, "The prisoners in the prison have records, and it's hard to explain if they die suddenly, what did you find?"
Huai San said, "Didn't you ask if there are any people with particularly good literary skills in the prison?"
Zhan Zhao nodded.
"There really are three of them," Huai San said, "This fire also started from their cell, the day of the fire happened to be my sister's sacrifice day, I didn't eat or drink that day, and I couldn't sleep at night, suddenly the cell of the three people caught fire, but the other prisoners slept very dead, even the jailers slept to death, I called for a long time and they didn't wake up, and then maybe I was too noisy, attracting the guards outside, and then I put out the fire." ” Bai Yutang frowned, "There is no shortage of masters in the prison, how can you sleep so dead?"
"Those people were later woken up with water."
Huai San said, "It's similar to being hit by sweat medicine." ” "You didn't eat or drink all day that day, and you ended up fine."
Ximen Yao is also a Langzhong, so he said, "Someone mixed sweat medicine with food."
"The Heavenly Prison Ignition Crime Department will definitely investigate."
Zhan Zhao said, "This is probably the reason why you were released early."
Huai San nodded, "Actually, I was also suspicious at the time, but in a place like the Heavenly Prison, if you say less, you will be less wrong, and it is best to pretend to be confused, and more is better than less, so I didn't pursue it." ” "Are there anything special about those three prisoners?"
asked Zhan Zhao.
"Most of the people in the prison are extremely vicious warriors, and there are some relatives of the emperor who are not locked up with us, but elsewhere."
Huai San said, "But these three people look like scholars, and they don't talk much about the mysterious gods on weekdays, and they stay in a separate cell, and the most suspicious thing is that Liu Zheng often interrogates them alone."
However, after the three men were taken away, they did not receive any torture, but were often full of alcohol.
In addition, they don't have to do heavy work, and the prison squatting is quite comfortable, so we all privately think that it may be Liu Zheng's friend. ” "When did they get in," Zhanzhao asked.
"Just over a month ago."
Huai San replied.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other and listened, these three didn't look like they went to prison, but they went in to take refuge.
"But it's not easy to set fire to a prison, and it's even harder to poison the food of the jailers and prisoners."
Zhan Zhao Road.
"So it was done by insiders" Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao, "Do you suspect that Liu Zheng wants to kill people?"
"A few of them must have done bad things back then," Zhan Zhao nodded, "We have to get those three people out quickly, otherwise, Liu Zheng should start as soon as possible and eradicate them." ” "Speaking of which."
Huai San said, "Today, all the prisoners in the prison will go to the quarry to dig stones, and there will be heavy guards, but what?"
"Is that quarry behind the prison?"
asked Zhan Zhao.
"Hmm" Huai San nodded, "That quarry is a stone mountain on one side, and there are often rocks rolling down, and on the other side is a cliff, if Liu Zheng wants to start again, it is the best there, in addition" Zhan Zhao nodded, "If everyone is watching and causing an accident, it is not easy to arouse suspicion." ” "The people in the Criminal Department may indeed be a little suspicious of Liu Zheng, or they have already targeted him."
Huai San said, "Recently, people from the Criminal Department have come to the prison. ” Zhan Zhao touched his chin and looked at Bai Yutang, "The Criminal Department is actually eyeing Liu Zheng" Bai Yutang also thought about it, and understood, "Probably Zhao Zhen instructed it." ” Zhan Zhao squinted at the cunning fox "Sneeze" In the palace, Zhao Zhen sneezed.

The officials of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple beside him hurriedly said, "The emperor takes care of the dragon's body." ” Zhao Zhen rubbed his nose and instructed the criminal department Shangshu who had just finished reporting the situation of the prison with him, "I know the general situation, it is estimated that Zhanzhao and they will go to the prison today to investigate, you will try your best to cooperate with whatever they want, and you don't have to be polite to Liu Zheng, you don't need to look at my face." ” Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Dali Siqing hurriedly nodded, "Yes." ” Zhao Zhen held his chin and sighed, "I can't spread a few more reliable royal relatives, alas":
