Chapter 567 [Silence](1/2)
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were sitting in the restaurant, waiting for Ximen Yao to bring news.
During this period, the news about Long Qiaoguang and General Youlian became more and more powerful... Speaking of which, General Youlian's legendary nature and his special identity aroused the collective curiosity of the people of Kaifeng. As a famous general, once there is no current dispute over interests, then the famous general is just a famous general. As a few Confucian generals in the world, and with the master of the famous right general, people have infinite longing for this sharpshooter who is called Youlian Divine Bow and the Meteor General.
Zhan Zhao's face, which had been tense for the past few days, finally had a smile on his face. His eyes were distracted with teacup. Bai Yutang could probably guess that Zhan Zhao was thinking about the little things he had lived with Wu Yifa during his growth... Maybe he also thought of other old people in the Demon Palace, those legendary figures who were once as bright as stars, left their best side in Zhan Zhao's memory.
...
Kaifeng Mansion.
Hong Jiuniang and Wu Yifu went out for breakfast. When they came back, Jiuniang was in a good mood and humming a little song.
In the yard, Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi, who were about to go to the Imperial Academy with Bao Yan and others, asked her curiously, "What are you happy with Aunt Jiu?"
Jiu Niang reached out and pinched the cheeks of the two children, and continued to work hard on herself with a smile.
Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi looked at each other, and at the same time raised their faces to look at Wu Yifu who came in with Jiu Niang.
The sick scholar seemed helpless, so he walked around the yard and asked Zhao Pu who was rubbing his knife, "Where is the chatter?"
"It's at the shooting range." Zhao Pu said, put down his knife and said, "Ouyang said you should go and see Qiao Guang shoot archery."
Wu Yichao was slightly stunned and asked Zhao Pu, "He has only practiced for a night, has he practiced?"
Zhao Put 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 talked to Wu Yifu to describe how Long Qiaoguang shot the willow tree into a sieve.
However, Wu Yifu's focus was not on the willow tree, but asked, "His he shot the target into four and a half?"
Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi nodded.
Xiao Liangzi was curious, "It's the same as a knife! How to cut horizontally and vertically, with bows and arrows? Shouldn't the arrow shot over be a hole?"
Wu Yifu touched his chin gently, turned around and went out.
As soon as I walked to the door, I felt that someone was holding her clothes. When I looked down, Grandma Hei Shui raised her face and looked at him.
Wu Yifu was helpless, "I am so sir, are you still afraid that I will lose it if I go out?"
Grandma Hei Shui stretched out her hand, that's what she meant - she wanted to hold hands!
The sick scholar had no choice but to reach out to her. Heishui's grandmother grabbed Wu Yifu's hand and went out together one by one. To outsiders, it was just a scholar holding a cute white-haired girl.
...
Kaifeng Mansion.
The Heavenly Lord asked Yin Hou, "What are you doing when you have a sick bag?"
Yin Hou smiled, "It's the same as you."
The Heavenly Lord blinked and tilted his head in confusion, "Same?"
"I have been looking for a hundred years and finally found someone who can inherit his legacy." Yin Hou smiled, "It's a joyful congratulation."
On the side, Zhao Pu's mouth moved slightly and continued to wipe the knife in a good mood.
...
Wu Yifu took Heishui's grandmother out of Kaifeng Mansion together, but did not go to the military camp, but came to the Imperial Academy.
In the Imperial Academy, Master Lin and Lin Xiao have arrived, and many students living in the school have also gotten up and are preparing to attend class.
When Lin Xiao saw Wu Yifu coming, he quickly came out, "Young Master."
Wu Yichao asked, "Zishan, what I have placed in Qingshan Temple..."
"I'm taking it away!" Mr. Lin quickly answered. In the letter to him, in addition to asking him to surrender to the Tai Academy, Wu Yihua also asked him to go to Qingshan Temple to get something and help save it.
Lin Xiao ran into the Taixue study room, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, took out a huge ebony box, carried it out, and gave Wu Yifu.
Wu Yifu reached out to take it and smiled slightly, "Thank you."
Lin Xiao sent Wu Yifu out and asked curiously, "Young Master, do you take this, can you say..."
Wu Yihuao nodded.
Lin Xiao was happy and congratulated Wu Yifu, "Congratulations to the young master."
Wu Yifu smiled, reached out and patted his shoulder gently, and said, "You don't need to be sad."
Lin Xiao was slightly stunned.
Wu Yifu said lightly, "Don't be sad if you call Xiao Yuanzi and Lian'er."
After saying that, he reached out and gently touched Lin Xiao's head, then turned around and pulled Heishui Grandma.
Lin Xiao stood there blankly. When he was a child, the young master often touched his head gently 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 is nothing to be sad."
Master Lin sighed deeply.
At this time, Lin Xiao ran out and said, "Master, what are you chanting for the class?"
Master Lin came to his senses and said unjustly, "During the Fourth Academy competition, do you go and paint?"
Lin Xiao was slightly stunned.
Master Lin gently patted his shoulder and said, "Draw lotus flowers."
Lin Xiao scratched his head, "What kind of lotus?"
Master Lin pointed at Wu Yifu who had walked away and said lightly, "That's the case."
After saying that, Lin Xiao turned around and entered the room, leaving Lin Xiao standing stupidly at the door, looking at Wu Yifu's back in the distance. Perhaps it was because the light was too strong, Wu Yifu was white again. From a distance, he felt almost transparent.
Lin Xiao suddenly thought—How many generations have you ever been alone with such a back?
Whether it is Wu Yifu, the Hei Shui Grandma beside him, or the Heavenly Lord and Yin Hou, their backs give Lin Xiao a strong feeling - no matter how eagerly you look forward to it, this back will never look back. When time has become too long, looking back will lose its meaning, because you can no longer see the starting point. Perhaps, everyone's worries for Wu Yifu are redundant. People who have walked so far know how to move forward more than anyone else; they have endured all the hearts of the past, just like his martial arts, the highest realm, and indestructible!
...
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang waited for a while, and then they heard footsteps on the stairs, and a familiar voice came, "Hurry up, go and prepare a brazier."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - the sound is so similar to Ximen Yao? Are you back so soon? Why are you preparing for a brazier?
As I was thinking, I saw Ximen Yao walking upstairs, as frivolous as ever, and dressed coquettishly. He held a scholar's fan in his hand, and asked the guy to take a brazier and pomelo leaves when he went upstairs. Because it was close to Tianlao, there were preparations in the inn, and many prisoners who were released from prison had to cross the brazier first when they came to eat here.
The guy took a brazier and put it on the steps, and then took pomelo leaves and dipped them in water.
When everything was ready, he saw a burly and strong man walking up and stepping over the brazier. The guy took the grapefruit leaves and splashed water on him, and he still stopped doing it. "Oh...why are you trying to mess with this?"
"What you want, do you want to get rid of bad luck?" After saying that, Ximen Yao turned around and waved to the stunned Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Yo!"
The big man looked up and saw Bai Yutang at the sight of him, and was also surprised, "Bai Laowu!"
Bai Yutang couldn't react a little and just nodded to him.
Ximen Yao pulled the big man to the table and sat down.
Zhan Zhao blinked.
Bai Yutang came to his senses and asked Ximen Yao, "Didn't you rob a prison by the way?"
Ximen Yao coughed so hard that she was choked by tea, waved her hand, and said, "It's a coincidence! Huai San was out of prison today!"
Bai Yutang was surprised, but she still introduced to Zhan Zhao. The big man in front of him was called Huaibian, and his acquaintances were called Huaisan, who was the friend Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao had mentioned before, who was in the Heavenly Prison.
Huai San scratched his head and wondered, "How do you know that I will come to pick me up today after I was released from prison?" As he said that, he looked at Bai Yutang suspiciously, "There is no reason for you to pick me up too..."
Bai Yutang pointed to Zhan Zhao opposite and introduced to Huai San, "This is Zhan Zhao."
Huai San was surprised, "Oh? Nan Xiake."
Zhan Zhao could see that he was from the martial arts world, so he bowed to him, "Brother Huai."
Huai San waved his hand, "Just call Huai San like them." As he said that, he asked his friend for a drink.
"Is this coming out early?" Bai Yutang was still a little confused. Such a coincidence?
"Is that just a coincidence!" Ximen Yao said, "I just handed over a famous post to visit the prison. The prison guard told me, "What else should I do if I go to the prison? He released it today, so I took him."
So, everyone looked at Huaisan, what's going on?
Huaisan drank wine and said, "The day before yesterday, I discovered the prison and saved several people. As a result, Liu Zheng said that I had made contributions and reduced my sentence. Is it released every day?"
"It's good to come out!" Ximen Yao picked up food for him, "I'll make an appointment with Dong Xiao and the others to celebrate."
Huai San smiled, "You are the only ones who are still thinking about me."
While eating, Huai looked at Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao and said, "Mr. Zhan has made a move. Is there a case to investigate? Is it related to me?"
Zhan Zhao smiled. Huai San looked like a cheerful person. Look at his style of doing things should be rough and meticulous. Although he is upright, he is not a mess. At least he will run away to the head to pay his life if he accidentally kills the maid.
Zhan Zhao said his future intentions very readily.
Huai San shook his head, "Liu Zheng? This person is not simple."
Zhan Zhao nodded and waited for him to continue speaking.
Huai San put down his bowls and chopsticks, touched his chin, began to think, and then said, "After you said that, maybe the fire was not simple... I just said that it caught fire in the middle of the night for no reason!"
"In the Heavenly Prison, Liu Zheng has the final say. The Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, the Imperial City Army, and Kaifeng Prefecture are all right." Zhan Zhao said, "The fire is not small, and someone will investigate it, right? How could it catch a fire for no reason?"
Huaisan nodded, "Think about it now, Liu Zheng let me out in advance may be afraid that I will find something..." As he said that, the big man slapped his chest, "It's so dangerous, if Liu Zheng didn't let me out but silence me, I'm probably still in the dark!"
To be continued...
