On Kaifeng Street at midnight, Zhan Zhao met a ghost-faced man halfway across from him. Please visit the latest free chapters of this book.
The ghost-faced man walked out of the alley and walked all the way to the middle of the road. He stopped and looked at Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao turned around, put his hands on Juque, and stood and looked at him.
"Zhan Zhao."
The ghost-faced man suddenly spoke, his voice a little dull.
Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, always easy-going, "What do you call me?"
"I'm just here to remind you." The ghost-faced man's voice was still dull, but his tone seemed to be a little threatening, "Don't meddle in other people's business."
After hearing this, Zhan Zhao touched his chin and said helplessly, "That's probably a bit difficult. Don't you know that I work part-time and meddling in other people's business?"
The ghost-faced man stared at Zhan Zhao for a while, and suddenly sneered, "You can't afford to control some things."
"It depends on what's going on. Why not go to Kaifeng Mansion to have a seat and discuss it in detail?" Zhan Zhao said, raising his hand and gently approaching Juque. Just as he was about to take a step forward, he heard the ghost-faced man laughing "haha".
Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned, and saw a layer of water vapor suddenly appearing in front of the ghost-faced man. Then... he became transparent with the water vapor and disappeared in the blink of an eye. In the wind, a sound that was moving away distantly drifted with the wind, "Remember! Stop meddling in other people's business!"
Zhan Zhao frowned, "Hey! Just leave like that? Let's talk for a while?"
But the ghost-faced man seemed to have no interest in staying to talk to Guard Zhan and had disappeared.
After walking a few steps, Zhan Zhao came to the place where the ghost-faced man was standing just now, looked down and saw a watermark on the ground.
Zhan Zhao frowned and stared at the watermark for a while. When the ghost-faced man escaped, he used escape techniques, which were tricks that many killers could use, but... he had never seen this escape technique before.
Zhan Zhao was sure that this ghost-faced man’s kung fu was really good, but he had to take certain risks when he appeared in front of him! He came out like this just to tell him to let him meddle in other people’s business?
Zhan Zhao felt that taking risks like this was unnecessary. It was impossible for him to kill and set fire in Kaifeng Prefecture. So what was his real purpose in front of him?
Zhan Zhao turned around and walked back, thinking as he walked, recalling the scene just now. When the ghost-faced man walked out of the alley, he felt... he seemed a little limp.
Thinking about it carefully, Zhan Zhao felt that he was a little unnatural, was he not serious, or was he intentionally pretending?
After thinking about it, Zhan Zhao felt that everything was vaguely inseparable from Qu Zhongyuan who disappeared more than 20 years ago. It seemed that it was necessary to investigate what happened that year.
Just as I was thinking, I passed by the door of Bai Mansion.
It was a coincidence that as soon as the door of Bai Mansion opened, Bai Yutang hurried out with a knife, a bag and a food box, and ran out in a hurry, and ran into Zhan Zhao.
The two sides met and were stunned.
Zhan Zhao blinked and spoke, "Shaomai!"
Bai Yutang was speechless. It turned out that he was a foodie and he just smelled it and ate.
Seeing that Bai Yutang had taken so many big bags, Zhan Zhao helped him carry a food box and walked shoulder to shoulder with him towards Kaifeng Mansion.
"Why are you here?" Bai Yutang asked curiously.
Zhan Zhao said everything that happened just now.
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "I actually appeared in front of you? Or was it just to warn you?"
"Well, I thought about it for a long time. Apart from warning me, the only clue left was that he was a little lame." Zhan Zhao spread his hands.
"Is it intentionally implying the case of Qu Zhongyuan back then?" Bai Yutang frowned, "You can't catch him with your light skills?"
"He seems to know escape skills or other tricks, and he disappeared all of a sudden, and he was not even able to grasp his breath." Zhan Zhao also said, rubbing his arm against Bai Yutang, "By the way, the Eight Kings just explained that they would like to change the rules of the Imperial Academy with the Emperor."
Bai Yutang smiled and nodded.
"Where is the Heavenly Lord?" Zhan Zhao then remembered that the Heavenly Lord came. Bai Yutang clearly went back with the Heavenly Lord, so why didn't he come with him?
"After digging out the jar of wine, he ran away, I don't know where I went." Bai Yutang was helpless.
"I also want to ask him why he came alone, and grandpa didn't come with him." Zhan Zhao wondered.
"I asked for you, and I said I would have arrived a few days after I had something to do." Bai Yutang replied.
Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly - a mysterious mystery.
The two hurried back to Kaifeng, but the Feng Mansion was in chaos.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao asked Zhao Pu, who was standing in the yard yawning.
The Grand Marshal was standing in the yard, holding the little Sizi who was already asleep and dreaming in his arms. He was walking and shooting as a human cradle. This scene probably made the soldiers of the border go crazy when they saw it?
"Liu Shoukai is dead." Zhao Pu said.
"What?!" Zhan Zhao was shocked, "How could this happen?"
"If you die after your own tendons and veins, it is hard for the gods to save you."
While talking, Gongsun walked out, behind him was Xiao Liang yawning.
"Xiao Liangzi was the first to find something wrong with him, but it was too late for us to stop him." Lin Yehuo also followed, as if he was sleepy. "This man is so curious about his kung fu. He has never seen it before. It is like a dish that disperses his internal strength."
"Didn't he say anything before he died?" Zhan Zhao felt a little sorry. Even if he didn't study in the Imperial Academy, he wouldn't be able to start over again. As for seeking death after harming others? This man is full of knowledge, how could he not withstand the blow? If his father really deserves his sins, he should fight for his offspring. If he is wronged, he will help seek justice. Is such an extreme method of killing his life in vain?
"He said something was a bit of a ruthless thing."
At this time, Bao Yan and the others also came out.
Pang Yu cursed his lips and said, "Boy is cruel enough. Before he died, he cursed everyone in Taixue and refused to stay. He also said that the foolish lord would pay the price..."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were speechless - this poisonous curse is used to kill the entire Imperial Academy? What a great revenge? Moreover, it has something to do with Zhao Zhen? Which one is the tyrant? If you trace it back up, there will be more tyrants.
"How is Liu Shoukai like on weekdays?" Zhan Zhao couldn't help asking, "Is it so extreme?"
"No." Chunhua shook his head, "I'm usually quite easy-going."
Wang Qi also nodded, "I really don't think it's so cruel."
"What about his father's case?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Is it because of injustice?"
"The evidence of Liu Shoukai's father's case is conclusive and there is no wrongdoing at all." Lord Bao walked out.
The Taishi nodded, "That's right, there are so many people who were expelled from the Imperial Academy because of their father's crime. I have never seen such extreme people. Besides, there are many injustice and debts. What's the matter with the students of the Imperial Academy?"
Everyone nodded. Could it be that Liu Shoukai did this because of his extreme personality? He always felt that it was strange.
"It's getting late." Bao Da Ren said, "Let's rest first. I'll go to the palace to meet the saint tomorrow morning, and I'll talk about it when I come back..."
Everyone had to disperse first.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang returned to the yard and saw the stone table. Tianzun was drinking. There were a few side dishes in front of him. Yueya was pouring him wine. Chen Xing'er asked him what he wanted to eat tomorrow. The two girls were still as filial as ever.
Bai Yutang walked over, put down the Shaomai, sat with Zhan Zhao and drank a few cups with Tianzun, and had some midnight snacks, and then they all went back to sleep.
Lying on the bed, Zhan Zhao looked up at the carvings on the top of the bed, thinking about what happened today, and when he recalled, the case was very fragmented. However, whether it was the raging fire, the gloomy ghost face, and the blood words on the snow-white jasper, they all revealed a strong sense of resentment.
Why is it that he has such deep resentment? Even though Liu Shoukai's experience was originally worthy of sympathy, his revenge was simply unacceptable. Instead, he felt that a person like him would have been expelled from the Taixue early. Otherwise, if he became an official in the future, his personality might harm more people!
The more Zhan Zhao thought about it, the more awkward he felt. When he turned around, he saw Bai Yutang's sleeping face. He found that no matter how he looked, the depression in his chest also dissipated a lot.
So Zhan Zhao looked carefully and washed his eyes with Bai Yutang's beautiful face.
As soon as Bai Yutang fell asleep, he felt Zhan Zhao approaching beside him, and then he reached out to hug him.
Bai Yutang opened his eyes in confusion and turned his face to look at Zhan Zhao who was holding him as a pillow.
"Maoer, what kind of sleep are you?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao helplessly.
Zhan Zhao adjusted his posture and lie down twice, "It's more comfortable."
Bai Yutang turned around and looked at Zhan Zhao's sleeping face with his eyes closed. The cat looked very satisfied, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised when he slept.
Bai Yutang looked at the hands on his chest and the legs on his legs, and thought that he would have a strange dream at night... But he didn't move, so he let Zhan Zhao sleep in a hug.
Maybe it was really too tiring to go on a rush, or it was more comfortable to sleep together, and the two of them had a good night's dream and slept quite well.
Another person who slept well, and the injured Ge Qing, all night, his mouth was full of beautiful silver hair floating around his eyes... so arrogant!
The next morning, Ge Qing woke up from a chill, and felt a little cold in his chest, which was not very comfortable. The pain that had a faint pain last night was no longer painful.
Ge Qing slowly opened his eyes and saw a small figure busy in front of him. He closed his eyes and adjusted it for a while before he could see clearly - it turned out that Xiao Sizi was sitting next to him, holding a small bowl in one hand and a bamboo stick in the other, and was taking out a yellow ointment from the bowl and applying it to the wound on his chest.
"Little Prince."
Ge Qing opened his mouth.
When Xiao Sizi saw that he woke up, she smiled and said hello to him, "Xiao Qingqing."
Ge Qing looked around and found that he had never seen the bed roof or the furnishings of the room before, so he asked, "Where am I?"
"You are in the guest room in Kaifeng Mansion."
At this time, he ran in outside the door and sent them a few people.
Ge Qing moved, as if he remembered, "Where is that ghost-faced man?"
"Hello!" Xiao Sizi held him down, then stretched out two fingers, "Dad said you want to lie down for two days."
"Two days?" Ge Qing was shocked, "I still have to go back to the palace..."
"Oh, I told Nangong that he asked you to rest for two more days." Pang Yu smiled and patted his shoulder, "I originally wanted to send you home, but your father said he was hiding it from your mother. He was afraid that she would worry, so he asked you to take it back after you were well raised, so he lied to her that you would go out for business first."
Ge Qing nodded, then looked around again, as if he was looking for something, but then he showed some disappointment on his face - is the Heavenly Lord really coming? Did he dream by himself?
