On the bluestone road of Anxi Street, there are lonely people walking back with poles.

The two wooden buckets filled with water swayed up and down on the poles, but no water spilled.

He thought about the information provided by the Golden Pig, and felt that there was a layer of gloom hanging over Luo City, making him breathless.

If the Liu family really rebels, I'm afraid the first thing they will do is to sacrifice the flag of the "eunuch" of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and he, the little spy under the Supervisor of Ceremonies, will definitely bear the brunt. This time, many people will die. people.

As soon as he returned to the hospital, he saw Princess Baili, who had changed into white clothes and was riding on the wall. She smiled and waved to him: "Chen Ji Chenji, help me pass the ladder." Chen Ji bent down and put down the pole and moved the ladder over.

Bai Li walked down the ladder and asked curiously: "Did you help clean the tiles on this wall? There is no dust at all." Chen Ji held on to the ladder and hummed: "I saw you climbing over the wall. My white clothes kept getting dusty, so I wiped them."

Bai Li lowered his head and glanced at his clean pants, raised his head and said with a smile: "Thank you!"

When the prince's head popped up from the wall, Chen Ji asked curiously: "I haven't seen the young monk for a long time. Where are the others?"

The prince said proudly: "My father said that if he stayed in Luo City, he would learn bad things from me, so he was sent to Qintian Prison in the capital to practice with the deputy prisoner Zheng Xushu." Chen Ji said helplessly: "What on earth are the prince so proud of? Ah...why did the prince and the princess come so early?"

.......

The prince slid down the ladder and said, "I came to learn sword skills from you, Chen Ji. Can you teach me sword skills?"

After saying this, Prince Jing opened the door curtain with a weak look: "He is just a little apprentice, what's the use of learning from him."

Chen Ji was puzzled. Prince Jing was fine when he was listening to the play yesterday, but early this morning he felt a strong resentment and hatred towards himself. It was strange, where did this resentment come from?

At this time, Bai Li's eyes widened: "Dad, why did you say that about Chen Ji?" Prince Jing also widened his eyes: "That's what I wanted to say, can't I?"

Bai Li wondered: "Father, why do you suddenly dislike Chen Ji? You were praising him before."

Prince Jing said angrily: "One moment, another moment. Today, my son and daughter came to visit me instead of visiting me first. Instead, they chatted with him first. I'm afraid you have forgotten all about it. Your father is still ill!"

Bai Li hurriedly moved the bamboo chair out of the house and helped Prince Jing sit down in a sultry voice: "Dad, didn't we rush over here early in the morning to visit you?" Prince Jing said slowly: "You know who you are coming to see. .”

Bai Li quickly covered Prince Jing's mouth with his white palm, lowered his voice and said, "Dad, please stop talking, of course I'm here to see you."

She secretly glanced at Chen Ji, but Chen Ji didn't seem to hear their conversation just now. He looked at Prince Jing and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, Xu Shu is the Deputy Superintendent of Qin Tian Prison, who is the Superintendent?"

Bai Li explained: "I know that the young prisoner of Qintian Prison is called Hu Junyan, the junior uncle of Laojunshan Taoist Court."

"This name is somewhat familiar," Chen Ji tried hard to remember: "Wait a minute... Someone told me before that in the winter of the eighth year of Jianing, Hu Ge's grandson was robbed by a beggar gang on the Lantern Festival. The Hu family found him again, is it him?"

Bai Li stood next to the bamboo chair and squeezed Prince Jing's shoulders: "It's him. I heard from my mother that there was a big stir back then. After he was found by the Hu family, Cen Yunzi, the headmaster of Laojunshan Taoist Court, went to the capital in person. He accepted a disciple on behalf of his master and brought Hu Junyan into the Taoist sect. Therefore, this Hu Junyan can be regarded as Cen Yunzi’s junior brother and Taoist Master Zhang Li’s senior uncle.”

Chen Ji was suddenly a little confused as to why Cen Yunzi suddenly came to accept a disciple, turning Hu Junyan into the Taoting's junior master uncle.

Could it be that something unknown happened when the Beggar Gang abducted him? Or, like Xu Shu, this man came from the forty-ninth heaven? Chen Ji asked curiously: "How old is he?"

Bai Li counted on his fingers: "Twenty-seven years old?"

Chen Ji sighed with emotion: "At the age of twenty-seven, you are already a fourth-grade Qin Tianjian." Bai Li smiled and said, "You can definitely do it too."

Prince Jing changed his posture and whispered, "He? He's dreaming!" Chen Ji listened silently and didn't say anything back.

As he was talking, the respectful voice of the guard in front of the medical center came: "Mrs. Jingfei, Feng Daban has told me that except for the medical doctor and apprentices, outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave the medical center at will." There was a crisp slap in the face.

Aunt Chunrong said ferociously: "You say my wife is an outsider? Who taught you to do this? Go away."

Concubine Jing comforted her gently from the side: "Chunrong, they are also acting under orders, don't blame them. But I still ask the generals to get out of the way. I am the prince's concubine, how can you stop me?" "

In the yard, Prince Jing heard Concubine Jing's voice and hurriedly got up and returned to the main room. Before entering the house, he told Chen Ji, "You can stop her later. I don't want to see anyone today." Chen Ji hesitated and said, "Jing." The concubine is coming fiercely, I'm afraid I can't stop her."

Prince Jing said ruthlessly: "You must block it even if you can't."

After entering the house, he pressed against the window and listened quietly to the movement outside the door.

While listening, he asked Old Man Yao in a low voice: "Tell me, will your apprentice also get a slap?"

Old Yao asked slowly, "Does the prince want him to receive this slap, or does he not want him to receive this slap?" Prince Jing thought for a while and said with a smile, "I quite hope."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ji was heard saying outside the house: "Madam, my master is giving the prince acupuncture. It will be healed soon. Just wait a moment." Prince Jing suddenly turned dark.

He slowly looked at Old Man Yao, only to see that Old Man Yao had silently taken out a set of silver needles and motioned for him to lie down on the bed.

Prince Jing reluctantly lay down and allowed Old Man Yao to administer the acupuncture while lowering his voice and complaining: "Why is this boy so vindictive?" Old Man Yao laughed happily and said, "Isn't it the same for the prince?"

After a while, Old Man Yao opened the door curtain and said to the outside: "Concubine Jing, please come in."

Chen Ji leaned close to the window and silently eavesdropped on the conversations in the room. However, the voice was too low, and they could only hear Concubine Jing intermittently saying: "Mr. Liu Ge and Taoist Cen Yunzi are old acquaintances. They were together... As long as the prince is willing Help the Liu family, and the Liu family will definitely help the prince get the Shengyu Pill..."

In less than a stick of incense, Concubine Jing left in a hurry with red eyes.

There was a long silence in the room, like a chess player sitting with his chess pieces in his hands, facing the intricate chess game and falling into a long test. Suddenly, Prince Jing whispered: "It's time."

The next moment, he calmly said in the room: "Chen Ji, come in."

Chen Ji glanced at the prince and Bai Li in the courtyard, then opened the door curtain and went in. He saw Prince Jing sitting up from the bed, pulling out the silver needles one by one with a dark face: "I want to go out, you come with me I'm leaving."

Chen Ji was startled: "Your Majesty is going out during the day? What if Concubine Yun and Feng Daban come to visit you?" "Don't worry, they are busy with things now and can't take care of me anymore."

Luocheng, Dongshi, Anle Street.

This is the liveliest place in Luocheng at noon. There are many teahouses on the long street.

The idle men in the city like to sit in the teahouse, order a pot of beans, refresh and retry the beans, and listen to storytelling from day to night. In front of the Fulou Teahouse, Prince Jing clasped his hands behind his back and raised his head to confirm the signboard. Then he stepped across the threshold and led Chen Ji to find a corner to sit down.

The young man in the teahouse had a white towel on his shoulders and was cleaning melon seed peels on the floor. When he saw the two people coming to the door, he immediately greeted them with a smile: "What kind of tea do you two guests want to drink?"

Prince Jing said casually: "A pot of maojian, a plate of melon seeds, a plate of fennel beans, a plate of candied fruits, and a plate of sour angles. By the way, what is the storytelling about today?"

The young boy smiled happily: "Sir, just now Mr. Zhou told a story about the Master's sanctification. It is a new retelling of an old story, and it is very exciting. Next, he is going to talk about something trendy, which seems to be a new story about the debate on the scriptures at Lu Hun Villa. This is about our Prince Jing."

Prince Jing's eyes lit up: "This is interesting, you have to listen to it!"

After the waiter left, Chen Ji sat at the Eight Immortals table and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, the serious things you are talking about are not listening to storytelling in the teahouse, right?" Prince Jing asked in return: "Who said that only important matters of family and country are serious? Matter? Listening to storytelling is not a serious matter?"

Chen Ji asked curiously: "Then what is serious business?"

Prince Jing tapped the table with his finger: "Happiness is the business!"

No wonder Chen Ji was confused, the powerful vassal king first took him to listen to a play yesterday, and today he took him to a teahouse to listen to storytelling. He saw that chaos was about to break out in Yuzhou, and the war was sweeping across, but the other party was not worried at all.

Chen Ji thought about it again and again, and finally said in a low voice: "My lord, are you really going to let go of the Liu family's rebellion?"

But he saw King Jing looking at the storytelling stage and said slowly: "Young man, when I was crowned king at the age of twenty-one, I was wearing a black robe with a four-clawed golden dragon embroidered on it. I stood below one person and above tens of thousands of people. "

"That year, I was ordered to share His Majesty's worries, kill traitorous ministers, protect the throne, unite vertical and horizontal alliances, and divide the civil servants of the north and south. I got up at three o'clock every day to deal with government affairs, worried about floods and droughts, and the disasters of bandits and soldiers. I didn't dare to make any mistakes. I don’t dare to waste time, I only think about unifying the mountains and rivers and letting my name be resounding in this world one day.”

"Now that I am forty-five years old, Your Majesty no longer needs me. I just remembered that I always hear people tell interesting stories about teahouses, but I never have the time to sit down and listen."

"Tell me, what is the right thing to do in this life?"

Chen Ji remained silent. Prince Jing seemed to have too many things to say today, but he didn't know why the other party chose to tell him.

At this time, Prince Jing looked at him calmly across the table: "The house on Tongji Street yesterday did not belong to Lin Yuanwai, he rented it from me, and the title deed is with me." "This Fulou Teahouse is also mine. Yes, half of the entire Anle Street property belongs to me."

"Thirty-one shops in the middle of the capital and 1,200 acres of fertile farmland in the suburbs of the capital... none of these are in the palace's account, and no one knows that this is the palace's property. I will leave them all to Bai Li."

Prince Jing stared at the traces: "Young man, if it hadn't been for the Dragon King's garrison to suppress your risking your life to save Bai Li, this pie-in-the-sky good thing would definitely not have happened to you. There have never been many vassal kings in this dynasty who can I want to ask you, if I die in peace one day, if I am imprisoned one day, will you be willing to risk beheading to save Bai Li?"

Chen Ji suddenly raised his head, and he finally understood what Prince Jing was going to do... Tuo Gu. The two of them were silent, putting the teahouse's loudspeaker away from them.

After Chen Ji thought about it for a long time, he finally agreed.
