Chapter 111 Love House and Wu

"Who is that person, Lord Xinling can't recognize him?" Guan Zhi looked at Xian Zhi, and sized him up.

Xian Zhi suddenly seemed to be choked by someone's throat, and the sudden panic in his heart was exposed without any surprise.He trembled slightly: "You, you did it on purpose."

"This is called, soldiers, not tired of cheating?" Guan Zhi's words were a little more arrogant, "I just said that you can't beat that old fox."

"Liang Ce, I've made an appointment with you a long time ago?"

"Teacher, didn't I make an appointment with you?" Guan Zhi saw the puzzled face of Xian after he finished speaking, thinking that Xian Zhi was pretending to be stupid, so he couldn't help snorting contemptuously, "You don't know? Uncle Shi and Empress Liang met. thing, you don't know?"

"Why did they meet, and how did you know?"

"Why did we meet?" Guan Zhi smacked his lips, "I give Liang Hou a painting every year to celebrate his birthday. Isn't he looking for Liang Hou to get my signature from her?"

Anger was hidden in Guanzhi's gaze: "Everyone knows that Xuancheng is the person who controls Zhaoxing's power, and the person who lives in the side hall of the Changming Palace..." Guanzhi spat, and said, "It's in vain. I believed in him until you came to announce the decree, but I didn't expect him to push me into the fire pit long ago."

Guan Zhi's hand fumbled under the sleeve, but the sleeve pocket was empty.Before that, he put a silver dagger that Xie Ling gave him.At that time, Xie Ling said that Liang Ce had seen this silver dagger before, and it could save his life. In the end, the silver dagger was brought by Liang Ce, and it was such an arrangement.

Seeing the despondency of the view from outside the prison, Xianzhi still couldn't bear it, he put his hands behind his back and reminded in a low voice: "The matter of Xuancheng has nothing to do with you."

Guan Zhi heard the words, suddenly laughed, raised his eyebrows and said: "Why, Lord Xinling knows now? Since it has nothing to do with me, why do you say, why did he go to Liang Zhuo? He Xuancheng and the imperial concubine secretly Aren't you afraid that Di Zuo will punish him for the serious crime he received in private?"

"It was originally ordered by the widow, why did the widow punish the crime?" Zhao Zuo walked over lightly, just as he was hearing Guanzhi's questioning, so he responded coldly.

"Father."

Zhao Zuo nodded in agreement, pointed to the prison gate and ordered the old eunuch who came behind him: "Open it."

When the lock was unlocked, the eunuch was about to push the door, his envious gaze shifted to Zhao Zuo, but from the corner of his eye he happened to catch a glimpse of the brocade box carried by the hidden guard behind him, he was startled, and grabbed the door rail first, Confirmed: "Father?"

Zhao Zuo also turned around to look around, seemed to understand Xianzhi's move, waved it, and hit Xianzhi's shoulder with the back of his hand, Xianzhi lowered his eyes helplessly, sighed, and gave in.

Zhao Zuo, who stepped into the prison gate, found a stone platform that should have been used as a bed and sat down, raised his hand and patted the bright yellow robe, and said: "I heard that the widow's view treats his relatives and grandfathers loyally, and the widow has always been very loyal. I want to know what Liang Ce has promised you, and it will be more valuable than what Mr. Sang Luo promised you?"

"Sang Luo? Hey, what did he promise me? Does this prison and iron shackle count as what he promised me?" Guan Zhi raised his voice and asked sternly.

"Wrong." Xie Ling's voice sounded, and several people in the cell turned their heads to look out. The person standing outside the door was still wrapped in a black robe. The man saw clearly the paler complexion made by the black robe, he pursed his lips, and said earnestly: "He promised you, everything he has."

"Master..." Xianzhi stepped forward to give him a hand, Xie Ling patted the back of his hand, and replied, "Yes."

"Teacher," Guan Zhi looked back, saw Xie Ling, and acted obediently again, full of hypocrisy, "What a coincidence."

"You're here." Zhao Zuo handed him his hand, signaling him to come and take a seat.

"Yeah." Xie Ling stretched out his hand and slapped Zhao Zuo's palm, giving him a deliberate look, telling him not to mess around.Then he squatted down to Guan Zhi, who was sitting on the ground, and asked, "Is that machete that you don't know where it went?"

Guan Zhi's eyes also looked straight at Xie Ling, with doubt written on his brow.

"That's what he left for you." Xie Ling moved closer and said softly.

Guan Zhi chuckled indifferently: "It's just a scimitar."

"It's just a scimitar?" Xie Ling repeated the sentence through gritted teeth, and pressed the scimitar hidden under the black robe to his neck, "You can take this scimitar now from your Highness." Life."

As soon as Xie Ling finished speaking, Xianzhi reminded him: "Be careful!"

Just now when he saw Guanzhi frowning, he poked his hands down his sleeves. Not long after, Guanzhi's eyes showed a bit of sternness, but before Guanzhi got up and raised his hand, Zhao Zuo had already grabbed Xie Ling Come over, Xie Ling's scimitar cut across Guanzhi's shoulder in a hurry, the wound was not deep, but the blood was still dizzy on Guanzhi's shoulder of brocade clothes, and the dark guard who had been waiting said it was too late Hurry up, tie Guan Zhi behind his back, grab his shoulder with one hand, make him kneel in front of Zhao and Xie after making him suffer.

When Xie Ling was still in fear, Zhao Zuo took out the scimitar from Xie Ling's hand and threw it casually. When Xie Ling came back to his senses, his eyes fell on Zhao Zuo's hand that was slightly exerting force on his waist, and he raised it After clapping that hand, Zhao Zuo felt relieved.Xie Ling felt the strength on his waist loosen, so he looked at the kneeling man, and said coldly: "This scimitar was originally traded for his life, and His Royal Highness doesn't like it."

"What did you say?"

"I said, that scimitar saved my life. He died at my place a few days ago. It was originally to make me feel guilty, and then I left the scimitar to you. When you really have today , and then take it out, then whether it is me or Xian Zhi Gu Nian, it will probably save your life. If he is right and I am still alive, then I will do my best to do as you wish. "

Xie Ling's smile became bitter as he spoke, and he sighed in his heart, Sang Luo's sum was really buried for a long time.

"As I wish?" Guan Zhi frowned, endured the pain in his shoulder, and said arrogantly, "I would like to be well-clothed and well-fed, to sit back and relax, and to sit and watch the mountains and rivers, with the palm of my hand, can you agree to these things? Willing to inherit my biological father's behest, and wishing my mother to come back to life, can you agree to these?"

Hearing his ignorance, Xie Ling took out a booklet from his pocket, rubbed the cover with his fingers, and then threw it on the straw in front of him: "This booklet is also yours. You are the one who remembers it, probably from the day you were taken away from Duke Yong’s mansion, he sent someone to remember it.” Xie Ling paused and said, “After you finish reading this booklet, come and tell me, your Ask for all you want."

Xie Ling stood up and looked down at the man kneeling in front of him, but there was a bit of pity in his eyes: "He has always treated you like his own son, but maybe you don't know it. If you still persist in your obsession, you will let him down." One life."

After Xie Ling finished speaking, he led Zhao Zuo out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The chariot to pick up Xie Ling was parked in a remote part of the prison, so it was rare to see people.The front is the high wall of the official office of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the officials at Dianmao have already left at this time, and because the left and right are prisons, guarded by heavy soldiers from the capital, ordinary people naturally avoid them if they can, so this place was also given to Xie Ling. One convenience, for a moment he forgot to put on his hood, and Zhao Zuo helped him into the chariot.

Xian Zhi still took a look at his surroundings before getting into the chariot.After he put down the curtain of the car, he asked: "Why did Master have a serious problem?"

"Looking for something." Xie Ling elbowed Zhao Zuo, and said, "Brother Huixuan once came to Fufeng in the old days. Zhao Xing gave a note a few days ago, asking the help to find out what was left in Fufeng." Zhao Zuo took out the unthrown note from his sleeve and handed it to Xianzhi.

Xianzhi took the note and unfolded it, looking at the twelve words written on it - "Like a lamp in the dark, a treasure like the poor, and a king like the people", he silently wrote down the twelve words, and then Handed back the note, "So Master left something to find Master Huixuan. Did you find it?"

"Haven't untied this 'like dark lamp' yet, but I remember that last time when he came to Fufeng, he walked through a few places outside the palace and said to go and have a look. But when he arrived in Juheng, he heard people in the garden say that you caught it. That barbarian wants to see me. You..." Xie Ling deliberately paused, looked at Zhao Zuo, Zhao Zuo frowned, and said reluctantly, "Well done."

Xianzhi seldom heard Zhao Zuo praise him, and was a little at a loss for a while, he hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Attacking people and attacking hearts, Master said."

Zhao Zuo heard that he was satisfied with Xianzhi's proper flattery: "Well, your master has always been the best at this. It was like this when he begged me to give him a glass of poisonous wine in Changming Palace."

Xie Ling turned his head sideways: "Nonsense."

"Nonsense? That's right, it's not just about attacking the heart, it's just about tearing out the widow's heart."

Before Zhao Zuo could finish his words, Xie Ling's embarrassment came up, from the neck to the ears, which made the bloodless face a little more rosy.Xie Ling used to not listen to Zhao Zuo's words of love, just one sentence, he is as determined as he is, and it is worth it.

Xie Ling hurriedly changed the subject, and told Xianzhi seriously: "By the way, tomorrow, let Zhaoxing's people send that Hu man to Guzang to look for Ye Fuzhou, and Ye Fuzhou will send him back to the small Hu village where Sang Luo used to live. town."

"Okay." After Xianzhi responded, he asked curiously, "Just now that barbarian gave Master the scimitar and the letter?"

"Ah."

"The handbook..."

"It's just some trivial things." Xie Ling flipped through the first few pages and wrote that Guanzhi had gone to Luzuo. How he pretended to be a small favor and sent someone to bring some food to Guanzhi, but he was afraid that Guanzhi would be bullied. Often ask people to stand by Guanzhi's side.To Guanzhi's birthday, he specially asked someone to put a gift beside his pillow.He also joked in his letters that he was probably Ai Wu Ji Wu.

If you really follow his saying of "love the house and the crow"...

Xie Ling said: "Then his heart for Duke Yong is deep and deep. It's a pity. If Duke Yong and him can meet in Huangquan, then Duke Yong may have to kowtow nine times to pay back."

Zhao Zuo stretched out his hand to hold Xie Ling's soft and boneless hand, carefully lifted it up and pressed it to his forehead, jokingly said: "Then, do you want to kowtow three times and nine times?"

Xie Ling turned his wrist, freed his hand, nodded again between Zhao Zuo's eyebrows, and said, "Why are you joining in the fun?"

Zhao Zuo raised his hand and grabbed the finger pointing at his brow, pulled it down, and said, "Aren't you just like him, treating my son like a parent?"

Xie Ling met Zhao Zuo's eyes, and his eyes moved slightly.

"Sir." The chariot was still parked at the same place, someone outside knocked on the door of the carriage, Xianzhi turned around and opened the door, poked his head out and asked, "What's the matter?"

"There was a young gentleman who asked me to return the property to the original owner." The man handed out a ring, enviously looking at the thing that the man held in both hands, his expression changed instantly, and he turned pale.He froze in place, motionless, and of course he was more at a loss.

"Xianzhi?" Xie Ling noticed his abnormality, his shoulders trembled even more, Xie Ling called softly.

"Huh?" Xianzhi responded with his back turned to them, then raised his hand tremblingly, took the ring from the man's hand, and stroked the lettering on the ring with his fingers.He had seen the word "Xian" big when he was a child, but now Xianzhi himself can't understand it and can't recognize it.

Xianzhi put the jade ring in his hand and hid it under his sleeve, the jade ring was still warm, and he thought it was worn by that person before coming here.Now this bit of warmth can't reach Xianzhi's heart at all, and it even makes him shiver uncontrollably.

After thanking the man, he turned around, Xie Ling's eyes turned around him, and he didn't ask for a while, but Zhao Zuo spoke for him, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Xianzhi hesitated for a while. He knew Zhao Zuo's attitude towards the matter between Lu Qi and him, and it was for this reason that he hesitated.But now Lu Qi has become his own seven inches. As long as others pinch Lu Qi, they pinch him, so he can't help hesitating.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Well... Lu Qi was in prison just now."

"Lu Qi?" Zhao Zuo asked suspiciously.

"Didn't he be taken away by Prime Minister Liang's people?" Before Xie Ling left Chongque, he heard someone come to pass the news. He also told Zhaoxing's people not to stop him. Whether Liang Ce is good or bad, Lu Qi There is already a distinction.This is a distinction between black and white, Xie Ling still believes in Lu Qi.Unexpectedly, this happened more than once.Xie Ling beckoned to Xianzhi and asked him to sit over.

"I don't know, but he was in prison just now, and he left before you came." Xie Ling sat up, and Xie Ling stretched out his hand to find the hand hidden under his sleeve, and he touched the hand Huan Pei didn't continue anymore, only felt that Xianzhi held the ring tightly again, and said with some disappointment: "He, he left."

"I'll be back." Xie Ling comforted softly.

"No, he heard my confession that you killed his mother."

"You..." Zhao Zuo suddenly opened his mouth when he heard the words, but he didn't know what to say when he really wanted to say it.

"I'm sorry, Master." Xianzhi's free hand grabbed Xie Ling's hand, like catching some duckweed that could survive in a barren pond, and Xie Ling's grip hurt a little.

"I'm not sorry for anything. I was the one who sent the poisonous wine back then."

"But he..." Xianzhi lowered his head and handed out the ring, "He lost his own and returned mine, he..."
