The night is overwhelming.
Ping'an Square, Changlai Inn.
The banquet is over.
Except for Chu Xiu, everyone including Zuo Chong had left.
Inn lobby.
After clearing away the messy dining table, the landlady brought a pot of sobering tea to Chu Xiu.
On the dinner table.
Chu Xiu looked at Zhu Yourong and the proprietress sitting across from him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you going to show off your cards with me?"
In the afternoon, Xia Qingshan, Jiang Rou, and Xia Chuxue's family also came to Changlai Inn, planning to take Chu Xiu to Xia's Pharmacy.
At that time, Chu Xiu noticed that Zhu Yourong and the landlady were hesitant to speak. After thinking about it, he rejected Jiang Rou's invitation on the grounds that he would drink until dawn tonight.
The landlady said in a muffled voice: "We will join Zhuque Academy entirely because of you."
"You're welcome." Chu Xiu grinned.
The landlady looked dark and glared at Chu Xiu fiercely.
"You should be curious as to why the two of us live in seclusion in this inn." Zhu Yourong said softly.
Chu Xiu shook his head, "I'm even more curious now about your true appearance, Boss Zhu."
Zhu Yourong frowned, turned his head, and rubbed his face with his hands.
For a moment, she looked at Chu Xiu.
The face is like a jade carving, unparalleled in beauty.
Chu Xiu looked at it for a while and suggested, "How about you change into suitable clothes?"
He felt that a woman who could be called "Yourong" should not have an ordinary figure.
Zhu Yourong had no expression on his face, stood up and walked to the backyard.
Chu Xiu smiled and looked at the landlady.
"She is a woman, so you and her cannot be husband and wife." Chu Xiu said with a smile.
"So what?" The landlady looked sideways.
Chu Xiu took a sip of hangover tea and said, "It's not that bad."
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking." The landlady hummed.
Chu Xiu looked innocent and asked, "What am I thinking about?"
The landlady sneered, looking up and down at Chu Xiu.
She didn't say anything, but Chu Xiu already understood what she wanted to say from her eyes...
"You think too much."
Chu Xiu complained, feeling a little speechless.
Although one of his dreams is to get drunk and lie on the lap of a beautiful woman, but before the cold poison is cleared, female sex and other things are definitely just a cloud.
At most, it’s just a few more glances.
"Oh, I've thought too much. I can't forget you." The landlady said softly. After saying that, her pretty face turned red and she glared at Chu Xiu fiercely.
Chu Xiu was a little stunned.
You say I can't do it, but you're staring at me before I even say anything?
baffling.
Chu Xiu shook his head.
Zhu Yourong walked over, wearing a light red dress.
Chu Xiu's eyes lit up.
As he thought, the woman named 'Yourong' had indeed an extraordinary figure.
"Are you satisfied?" Zhu Yourong sat next to the landlady.
Chu Xiu grinned, "Tell me about your origins."
Zhu Yourong and the landlady were silent for a moment.
"My surname is Mo." The landlady said slowly.
"I know, Mo Shaoyun." Chu Xiu said. When they left Chang Lai Inn in the morning, Zhu Yourong and the landlady introduced themselves.
The proprietress frowned, shook her head secretly, and said directly without saying more about her last name: "There is a sword in the palace, which was originally an heirloom of my family.
Yourong and I are hiding here just for that sword. "
"Sword?" Chu Xiu was curious.
Zhu Yourong's red lips parted slightly, and she softly uttered three words: "Apocalypse Sword."
Chu Xiu blinked, "Is he famous?"
Zhu Yourong and the landlady were both silent.
After a while.
The landlady said in a low voice: "You are very likely to become a disciple of the academy. We want you to help us retrieve the Tianqi Sword."
"If you put it this way, I understand." Chu Xiu chuckled.
Zhu Yourong and the landlady looked at Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu muttered: "Are you... in a hurry?"
"I'm not too anxious." Zhu Yourong said softly, "We have been living here in seclusion for five years, and we have been looking for opportunities."
"If you are not in a hurry, just wait for a while." Chu Xiu said with a smile, "The boss lady just said that she is optimistic about me becoming a disciple of the back mountain. How about we talk about this matter after I become a disciple of the back mountain?"
"Okay." Zhu Yourong and the proprietress both nodded.
"Then...if I help you retrieve the Apocalypse Sword, what can I get?" Chu Xiu asked.
Zhu Yourong and the landlady were startled.
"We are friends, and for friends, I won't blink even if I go up to the mountain of swords or to the sea of fire." Chu Xiu looked at the two women and smiled, "But I have to think about you. You ask me for help. If I don't do anything, If you don’t accept it, you will definitely feel bad about it.”
Zhu Yourong and the landlady were both speechless.
"I know some mechanism skills. If you want to learn them, I can teach them to you in the future." The landlady said in a muffled voice.
Chu Xiu looked at Zhu Yourong.
Zhu Yourong hesitated and said, "What I'm best at is the art of disguise, but I can't teach you this."
After saying that, he added: "I can teach you ventriloquism, allowing you to imitate other people's speech."
"Deal." Chu Xiu raised his tea cup and thought to himself that if he could become a disciple at the back of the academy, Dean Feng would definitely give the new disciple some gifts.
Then just ask for the Apocalypse Sword.
Zhu Yourong and the landlady raised their glasses together and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After these days of getting along, they quite recognized Chu Xiu's character.
…
Under night.
Zuo Chong returned to his mansion.
“It feels like I haven’t been back for a long time.”
Zuo Chong looked at the familiar courtyard with some emotion.
Every time he went out on a mission, he would feel this way, and this time he was particularly touched.
Come to the hall.
Zuo Chong's expression turned pale.
There is someone in the bedroom.
"Zuo Qianhu, it's an old slave." A familiar voice sounded from the bedroom.
Zuo Chong was startled, looked at the figure walking out of the bedroom, frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
The visitor is Li Xianyuan's steward, Uncle Liu.
Uncle Liu sighed: "The commander has been imprisoned in the sky prison."
Zuo Chong's expression suddenly changed.
"What's going on?" Zuo Chong grabbed Uncle Liu's shoulders and asked in a deep voice.
Uncle Liu quickly said: "It is said that when the commander was serving His Majesty, he accidentally broke a glazed lamp..."
"Liu Li Zhan?" Zuo Chong frowned.
"The old slave has inquired about it and said that His Majesty lost to the second gentleman of the Academy in chess, and His Highness King Ji was beaten again. He was very angry." Liu Bo explained.
Zuo Chong calmed down, stared at Liu Bo and asked, "Who asked you to come to me?"
"This...no one is here, it's the old slave who made his own decision." Uncle Liu lowered his head.
Zuo Chong sneered: "Are you from the palace?"
"Ah? No, no." Liu Bo waved his hand quickly.
Zuo Chong suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Uncle Liu's crotch, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Uncle Liu's face suddenly froze.
"If you don't tell me, I know who sent you here." Zuo Chong let go of Uncle Liu and walked away.
The commander of Long Yuan Guard has a high and powerful position. In the entire Chang'an City, no one dares to arrest Li Xianyuan without the order of Emperor Qian!
"It's for me."
Zuo Chong was very calm and went straight to the commander's office.
He wanted to confirm whether Li Xianyuan was really caught.
In the thick darkness of the night, a lone figure galloped and arrived at the commander's residence in a short while.
"He was indeed caught."
Pei Yiren looked at Zuo Chong and said in a deep voice, "Calm down, this is a conspiracy against you. Xianyuan is the commander of Longyuan Guard. No matter how stupid Emperor Qian is, he will not treat him just because of a mere glazed lamp." how."
"I understand." Zuo Chong nodded.
Pei Yiren frowned and looked at Zuo Chong quietly.
Zuo Chong said: "If I don't go, the commander will definitely be humiliated."
"If you go, the identity token of Suzaku Academy may not be able to protect you." Pei Yiren's face was cold.
Zuo Chong smiled.
"You just said it wrong."
"This is not a conspiracy."
"It's a conspiracy."
Zuo Chong let out a soft breath.
"Now that you know, don't act rashly." Pei Yiren said, "Xian Yuan no longer cares about honor or disgrace."
"He may not care, but I can't care." Zuo Chong had already grasped the dark gun barrel, his eyes firm and resolute.
Pei Yiren said in a low voice: "Think about Xiao Xian'er."
Zuo Chong was silent for a while, then said with a bitter look on his face: "Actually, I'm not worthy of the little fairy."
"You are worthy." Pei Yiren looked at Zuo Chong, "You are the only one in the world who is worthy of it. All the people in the city can prove this."
"I also thought that regardless of the commander, I would only focus on the little fairy." Zuo Chong said slowly, "I really entered the academy and found that I was not as happy as I imagined."
"When you and Xiao Xian'er get married, you will naturally be happy." Pei Yiren said.
"I really hope that day comes." The image of a little fairy appeared in Zuo Chong's mind.
Pei Yiren frowned and said in a low voice: "Xian Yuan is your elder. He doesn't need your attention at all. Don't be sentimental."
Zuo Chong smiled and said, "I have a poem that I want to give to the little fairy. Please hand it over to me."
"Delusion." Pei Yiren sneered, "If you have anything to say, just go and tell Xiao Xian'er yourself."
Zuo Chong shrugged, shouldered the dark spear, turned and left, while softly reciting a poem that Chu Xiu gave him:
"The clouds think of clothes, the flowers think of face, the spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew is thick.
If we hadn't seen him at the top of Qunyu Mountain, he would have met at Yaotai under the moon. "
Pei Yiren's expression changed completely.
"Why don't you listen to this idiot?"
Pei Yiren had no choice but to walk quickly to the stable in the backyard.
…
Night, quiet and silent.
On Suzaku Street.
Zuo Chong, who was carrying a gun and walking alone, met the interceptor.
The second teacher of Zhuque Academy.
Kingship.
"I was wondering if I should stop you?" Mr. Er looked at Zuo Chong.
Zuo Chong smiled bitterly and said, "If you try to stop me, I won't be able to pass."
The second gentleman nodded, "Indeed."
"But I will give it a try." Zuo Chong held the spear in his hand, his eyes firm and resolute.
The second gentleman asked: "Do you hate me?"
"Why... why do you say this?" Zuo Chong hesitated for a moment.
Mr. Er said: "Back then, if I had not stopped Emperor Qian and made him dissatisfied with his desires, Li Xianyuan would not have left the palace, let alone marry Pei Yiren.
If he had no fate with Pei Yiren, you would not know Pei Yuxian, and naturally you would not be in the current situation. "
Zuo Chong was silent for a while, then asked: "Does Mr. Second see things so far-sighted?"
Mr. Er said: "I am the cause and you are the effect."
Zuo Chong said: "I know Li Xianyuan dislikes you very much."
Mr. Er said: "I know it too, and I also dislike him very much."
"I mean, he didn't like you, but he never blamed you, and he was even always grateful to you." Zuo Chong said.
The second gentleman was silent for a while and said, "He is grateful to the wrong person."
"No matter what, I have no hatred for you, Mr. Second." Zuo Chong said seriously.
Mr. Er said: "Then go back. You are already a disciple of the academy. Emperor Qian does not dare to do anything to you."
Zuo Chong shook his head.
"Why bother?" said the second gentleman.
Zuo Chong said: "Dignity."
The second gentleman asked: "Whose dignity?"
"Mine!" Zuo Chong grinned.
Mr. Er stared at Zuo Chong, "Once you leave, you may not be able to come back. If you take the initiative to provoke the imperial court, there is no reason for the academy to protect you."
Zuo Chong said sarcastically: "If you can't come back, then you won't come back!"
The second gentleman said: "Is it worth it?"
"What would you do if someone insulted Dean Feng?" Zuo Chong asked.
The second gentleman's eyes turned cold: "Kill."
Zuo Chong smiled and said, "In that case, why stop me?"
Mr. Er said: "I have the ability to kill, but you don't."
"I have a life!" Zuo Chong shouted, striding forward directly.
Mr. Er closed his eyes and reached out to hold Zuo Chong's shoulder.
"Go away!" Zuo Chong shouted, furious.
"must go?"
"Although there are thousands of people, I am going!"
