Chapter 46: Broken Jade
"That's too pessimistic, isn't it?"
Fahai seemed puzzled.
"My ancestors had no vision and told me to pursue knowledge. The old man looked helpless: "When I grow up and prepare to write a book, who knows that when I write a travelogue, I am said to be leaking state secrets, writing history, and saying that I use the past to satirize the present." to annotate the art of war, and say that I incite rebellion......"
Even though he knew that he shouldn't laugh at this time, Fahai couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth.
This old man...... To be honest, it's miserable.
However, this just proves how corrupt the people in power in this era are, and it has to be said that it is a sadness of the times to let a person with such talent be imprisoned.
"Alas. ”
The old man sighed: "It's really not good, I thought it would be okay to write myths, right......? In the end, I figured it out, it's better to write a biography for someone safe. As a result, the man was arrested, saying that he was a rebel, and I was sentenced to life imprisonment with him......"
He smiled bitterly and said to Fahai: "You say, is this considered destined to be in prison?"
Fahai shook his head: "There will always be a day to go out." ”
"I don't expect to go out. The old man smiled: "I'm outside, I'll be arrested for writing, it's better to write a book here, and let people take it out and print it after writing, so as to save trouble." ”
"That's right. ”
Fahai nodded, and said: "But I heard that scholars pay attention to meritorious service and virtue, and the three immortals of the speech, you are writing a book here, and the speech is completed, don't you have any ideas about meritorious service?"
"Lide" means establishing lofty morality; "meritorious service" means making meritorious contributions to the country and the people; and "standing up" means putting forward insightful remarks.
These three are basically the highest pursuit of a scholar's life.
Hearing Fahai's words, the old man first lifted his spirits, and then became happy again.
In today's world, people's hearts are corrupted, and demons are in charge.
For the current imperial court, the old man has completely given up.
"I'll take you out, I can ensure that you can write books outside without being disturbed, if you have the heart to do something for the people of the world, I can also protect you as a high-ranking official, how about it?"
Fahai spoke briefly.
The old man's expression was solemn, "Really?"
"Really. ”
"I don't know if you're ......"
It was only then that he remembered to inquire about Fahai's identity.
Fahai took out his waist card: "The promise made by the national teacher of the dynasty is always credible, right?"
The old man was obviously a little moved, but Fahai's face suddenly changed.
Smack.
A thought came from his arms.
Fahai twisted his eyebrows, put his hand into his arms, spread his palms, and a piece of turquoise jade pendant was constantly shattering cracks, and with another pop, the jade pendant turned into powder in front of his eyes!
"National teacher, what is this?"
The old man's heart was not good, no matter where Fahai heard about his name and learned that he was in a cage, he was ready to take him out.
But looking at the young national teacher's face now, it is obvious that something has happened that he does not understand.
Could it be that I am really destined to spend the rest of my life in prison?
Bitter and bitter......
Who wants to be locked up all day if they can be free?
He didn't want to go out at first, just because even in the outside world, it was just a big prison for him, and although there was no restriction on his movements, he couldn't mentally pursue what he wanted.
So what is he doing out there?
Now, with Fahai's guarantee, he can leave the prison openly and do what he wants to do in the outside world, without worrying about food and clothing!
How could the old man not be impressed?
"Your business, it may be a little later. Fahai's face turned cold.
He looked at the old man and said apologetically: "I still have some things to deal with, and I don't have time to let you out for the time being." But I'll tell the prefectural order to give you some food improvements. I'll come back to you when this is settled. ”
The old man smiled helplessly.
Alas.
Sure enough, he was destined to stay in prison.
"The jade pendant was actually broken, what happened in Hangzhou City?"
Fahai couldn't care about the old man's thoughts at this time, and walked out after speaking.
owes favors and has to pay it back, otherwise if he doesn't mention cause and effect, he won't be able to pass that hurdle in his heart.
"Master Guoshi, are you done talking, is there anything wrong with the prisoner, if so, ......?"
The county magistrate motioned for the jailer to close the prison door, and then immediately followed Fahai and curryed favor.
"It's nothing, the old man is a great talent, but don't let it out for the time being, the food environment is a little more relaxed, and I'll talk about the rest next time I come over." ”
Fahai ordered casually, then quickened his pace, and as soon as he got out of the prison, he jumped into a streamer and left, leaving the dumbfounded county commander to stand still.
"The national teacher is really powerful. ”
After a long time, he sighed, and then he also took Fahai's advice to heart, and went in to chat with the old man with a pleasant face.
After all, maybe one day he will soar and go above himself.
On the other side, Fahai rushed into the clouds, and the scenery in front of him was magnificent, with mountains and peaks stacked on top of each other, and the four fields were extremely open, but he didn't have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and his speed became faster and faster, bringing a gust of wind and whistling away.
Under the full gallop, in just half a day, Fahai rushed to Hangzhou City.
The city was as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened.
opened the magic eye, and soon found the breath of Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, after all, after Ji Du left, there were only two of them in the entire Hangzhou City, and they could see it at a glance.
Inside Xu Xian's pharmacy.
Bai Suzhen's face turned pale and hugged a small green snake more than one meter long, and she was sad and indignant, "Xiaoqing, don't worry, when my sister's injury is a little better, I will go to find the Immortal Zhi Spirit Grass for you, and soon your cultivation will be able to recover." ”
As she spoke, she gently stroked the little snake.
The little green snake hissed and spat letters, but it was extremely docile and not the slightest bit aggressive.
Squeak.
The door of the pharmacy was pushed open, Bai Suzhen's face tightened, and she quickly pulled out a long sword, and after seeing that it was Fahai, she breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly fell to her knees on the ground, tears flowing: "Ask the mage for mercy, save Xiaoqing......"
