Zhuque Academy.
Back mountain.
"Second Senior Brother, you?" Tang Jiabao woke up and was startled when he saw Second Senior Brother standing in front of the bed.
"I heard that you lost to that boy and you want to build him a Thousand Chance Umbrella?" Mr. Er asked.
Tang Jiabao came back to his senses and nodded, with a look of shame on his face, "Yes, I did lose to Chu Xiu."
Mr. Er asked: "Has the Thousand Planes Umbrella ever been ready?"
"It's already done. I want to wait until he passes the inner court assessment before giving it to him." Tang Jiabao said truthfully.
Mr. Er said: "Go and give it to him now."
"Now?" Tang Jiabao was stunned.
The second senior brother said: "Let Zhao Si accompany you."
"good."
Tang Jiabao nodded, thinking that if the second senior brother came here late at night, something must have happened outside.
Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall.
On the long table, there is an ancient bronze lamp, and the candle is always burning.
Emperor Qian stood in front of the desk and looked at the portraits on the desk.
Portraits of successive presidents of Zhuque Academy.
Similarities can be found in every portrait.
"If they are all you, why do they keep changing their identities?"
"Could it be that you also need to pay a price for your immortality?"
"If you are rejuvenated, will your strength also be rejuvenated?"
Emperor Qian whispered in a faint tone.
The Daqian Dynasty has a long history, nearly two thousand years.
He inherited too many secrets, most of which were related to the past presidents of Suzaku Academy.
"The taste of immortality must be wonderful."
Emperor Qian's eyes fell on a brand new portrait.
Holding a short stick, dressed in white, his handsome face was full of an unruly smile.
Chen Changsheng!
The night is getting darker.
Heavenly prison.
Zuo Chong held a long spear and rushed to the gate of Tianlao.
Behind him, the corpses of executed prisoners were scattered, and the ground was stained red with blood.
In front of him, there were also corpses of executed prisoners, full of the smell of blood.
Further ahead, eight hundred Longyuan guards were waiting, either indifferently or intolerantly.
"Force the prison and release the condemned prisoners. It's a capital crime!" the old eunuch's shrill scream rang out.
Zuo Chong sneered and said, "Old castrated dog, do you dare to fight?"
The old eunuch who was in the middle of the Long Yuan Guards suddenly turned cold and said, "You are looking for death."
"Don't you dare?" Zuo Chong said sarcastically, "Then shut up."
"Kill him for our family!" the old eunuch shouted through gritted teeth.
No one moved among the eight hundred Longyuan Guards.
Vice Commander Guo, who was standing at the front, looked at Zuo Chong and said solemnly: "Zuo Qianhu, put down the gun, you still have a chance to live!"
"It would be great if the Bird Guards were here." Zuo Chong was a little regretful. If the Bird Guards were here, he could kill them.
These Long Yuan guards in front of him were all his colleagues, so it was really difficult to attack them.
"Don't force me." Vice Commander Guo held the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Zuo Chong smiled and said: "You and I still have some friendship. Either give me a good time or let me kill those geldings."
Vice Commander Guo frowned, "Why bother?"
"You should know that I have no way out. Instead of being humiliated, I would rather die happily." Zuo Chong's smile remained the same, free and bold.
He had completely put his life and death at risk.
Vice Commander Guo was silent and slowly drew his sword.
"Actually, I admire you very much." Vice Commander Guo said.
"Then give me a happy one." Zuo Chong held the gun at his side and slowly closed his eyes.
"good."
Vice Commander Guo nodded and stepped forward, holding a sword in both hands, the tip of the sword piercing Zuo Chong's heart.
"boom!"
A gunshot erupted.
Vice Commander Guo's expression changed, and he immediately turned around to defend himself. He slashed down with his long sword and chopped off a small black iron ball the size of a bean.
Zuo Chong opened his eyes and his expression suddenly changed when he saw the white Confucian robe.
Chu Xiu!
"Sure enough, in this era, the power of fire guns is not enough."
Chu Xiu blew on the muzzle of the smoking gun in his hand and whispered to himself.
"Chu Xiu?" Vice Commander Guo frowned, recognizing Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu nodded, "It's me."
"Mr. Chu, you shouldn't have come." Zuo Chong said solemnly, feeling a little anxious in his heart.
Chu Xiu stood on the outside of the Long Yuan Guards, looking at Zuo Chong who stood with his gun raised, "It would be a bit uninteresting if you didn't call me for such an exciting thing."
"Exciting..." Zuo Chong's face twitched slightly and he said in a low voice, "This is my own business and has nothing to do with you."
Chu Xiu nodded, "It really has nothing to do with me. It was your sister-in-law who asked me to come."
"Sister-in-law?" Zuo Chong was stunned for a moment and then realized what he was doing.
Pei Yiren.
"You go back." Zuo Chong said, "No one is forcing me. This is my own wish."
Chu Xiu smiled and said: "Of course I want to go back. However, I just saw that you are planning to die here. If you die, how will you settle the accounts you owe me?"
"What account?" Zuo Chong frowned.
"Vice Commander Guo, are you just going to let them chat here?" the old eunuch shouted angrily, very dissatisfied.
Vice Commander Guo said calmly: "Chu Xiu is an academy candidate this year. He did not participate in the prison robbery. If we attack him, it will be equivalent to declaring war on Suzaku Academy.
Eunuch Wei, are you sure you want to order this general to arrest Chu Xiu? "
The old eunuch's expression suddenly changed.
Declare war with Suzaku Academy?
Who can bear this crime?
He stopped talking and glared at Zuo Chong viciously.
"Can you admit that I have saved your life these days?" Chu Xiu looked at Zuo Chong from a distance and asked with raised eyebrows.
Zuo Chong was silent for a moment and sighed.
"When we first met, I helped you cure the yin-cold palm energy of Mian Yin Palm. Can you admit it?"
Zuo Chong groaned again.
"These days, it should be reasonable for you to live in the inn room I rented and split the rent equally with me, right?"
Zuo Chong's face twitched slightly and he remained silent. He was a little distracted for a moment, thinking about you sleeping on the bed and me making the floor, splitting the rent equally... Then I would be at a bit of a loss.
Among the Long Yuan guards around, many of them had strange looks in their eyes.
"In addition, I also gave you a poem." Chu Xiu smiled, "You may not know that I once sold a poem in Hongxiu Tower, which was worth nearly 8,000 taels.
I think many people will be willing to spend ten thousand taels to buy the poem I gave you. "
Zuo Chong said in a low voice, "I owe you ten thousand taels."
"How much of my wine have you drunk in these days?" Chu Xiu grinned, "You should know that my wine is not ordinary wine. How about giving it a hundred thousand taels to you?"
Zuo Chong's eyelids twitched fiercely and he remained silent.
He can't afford it.
"In addition to the grace of saving my life, plus the money you owe me, I will give you a cheaper price, which is two hundred thousand taels."
Chu Xiu sneered and said, "If you want to die, give me your money first!"
Zuo Chong was silent and said slowly: "Zuo can only repay Mr. Chu's kindness in the next life."
"Afterlife?" Chu Xiu smiled, "A truly strong person will never believe in the afterlife."
Zuo Chong was speechless.
He didn't quite believe it either.
"If you must die, I can give you an idea." Chu Xiu said suddenly.
Zuo Chong raised his head and looked at Chu Xiu.
All the Long Yuan guards and the six eunuchs also looked at Chu Xiu.
Behind Chu Xiu, Pei Yi arrived on horseback.
"You wait a few days before you die." Chu Xiu suggested, "You and your fiancée are married, and then you die after it is confirmed that your fiancée is pregnant with your child.
The father's debt is paid by the son.
Since we are friends, I can wait until your child grows up before asking him for your debt.
Of course, there is interest every year, and there is interest on the interest.
If your children can't afford it, then let your grandchildren continue to pay it...
As time goes by, there will always be a day when you can pay it off. "
Zuo Chong: "..."
Pei Yiren: "..."
Eight Hundred Longyuan Guards: "..."
Six eunuchs: "..."
Everyone was speechless.
"Repaying debts is a matter of course." Chu Xiu stared at Zuo Chong, "If you dare to be a bad guy, don't blame me for getting angry!"
Zuo Chong's scalp felt numb.
The moment he saw Chu Xiu, he knew that Chu Xiu would definitely persuade him.
But he didn't expect that Chu Xiu would persuade him in this way.
For a moment, he didn't know how to open his mouth.
"Mr. Chu, you'd better go back." After a long time, Zuo Chong said in a muffled voice.
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes, "Are you trying to default on your debt?"
"I..." Zuo Chong was speechless for a moment.
Chu Xiu said calmly: "You have nothing to say? Then come with me and get married first. After your little fairy is pregnant, if you still want to die, I will never stop you."
Zuo Chong remained silent.
He didn't even dare to think about getting married.
He is afraid that his heart will be shaken.
"Zuo Chong, let's go." Pei Yiren also advised.
"I'm afraid Zuo Qianhu won't be able to leave." A soft sigh sounded.
A group of chariots came from the direction of the imperial city.
"It's the eldest prince Li Yuanxiong." Pei Yiren frowned.
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice: "I am now a disciple of the outer courtyard of Suzaku Academy. If I kidnap him, will it be a big problem?"
Pei Yiren's eyelids twitched slightly, and he hesitated: "It depends on whether Zhuque Academy is willing to protect you."
