After coming out of the tavern, the three of them turned into a secluded alley.

Zhongli Chuchu followed closely behind Xu Buling, and his expression was a little solemn:

"That little two, it seems that there is a real problem, and I feel murderous. I thought you were lying to me with a random explanation. ”

"How could I lie to you."

Xu Buling looked back: "That little second martial arts is very high, I provoked a few words, and then I moved to kill, I am afraid that it has a close relationship with the second prince Chen Ju." ”

Zhongli Jiujiu had just come back from inquiring about the news, and the other party's affairs were naturally unknown, so he asked:

"What's wrong with Fang Cai?"

Zhongli Chuchu was about to talk about Fang Cai, when he suddenly remembered something, and ran to Zhongli Jiujiu's side, his eyes slightly annoyed and aggrieved:

"Master, Xu Buling just took advantage of the opportunity to touch me, you don't care about this?"

“……”

Xu Buling stumbled, opened his mouth, and wanted to say, "What's the use of you suing my stupid daughter-in-law?" But think about it or shut up and don't say a word.

Zhongli Jiujiu had also been touched when he was staring at him before, and he was naturally convinced of Chu Chu's words. It's too late for her to be happy about this, but she still has to make a show on the surface.

Zhongli Jiujiu made an angry look and asked:

"Chu Chu, where did he touch you?"

Zhongli Chuchu stared, anyway, he said everything, and he didn't twist it too much, he raised his hand and pinched it on Jiujiu's buttocks:

"Here."

"Oh......"

Zhongli Jiujiu turned around, raised his hand and slapped Xu Buling on the shoulder:

"What's the matter with you? What is it like to bully Chu Chu? ”

"I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention to ......"

After Xu Buling cheekily explained, he changed the topic and asked:

"Have you heard Aunt Gui's whereabouts?"

Seeing this, Zhong Li Jiujiu naturally didn't ask much, and said seriously: "I just went to inquire, a few days ago, there was indeed a group of prisoners from Liuzhou who were taken over from Liuzhou and locked up in the prison in the southern suburbs. If Aunt Gui and the others were arrested, they would probably be inside. ”

Xu Buling nodded: "I just saw the second prince Chen Ju, who is heavily guarded, and it is very troublesome to rush in to scare the snake, so I can only find an opportunity to sneak in." Let's go to the prison first, if Aunt Gui is there, let's get people out first. ”

The safety of the elders in the village was uncertain, and Zhong Li Jiujiu naturally had this idea, so he immediately took Xu Buling to the prison in the east of the city.

However, after taking a few steps, Xu Buling felt that something was wrong again, and paused:

"Aunt Gui, they are just bait to lure me to South Vietnam, since the other party knows that I am coming, they will definitely guess that I will continue to look for Aunt Gui's whereabouts. There must have been an ambush in the prison. ”

Zhongli Jiujiu paused, and thought for a while: "That's true. So what to do? ”

"Let's go see the situation first, and ...... adapt"

……

-------

It is also on Guifei Street, located at the other end of the street.

The early dynasty dispersed, An Guogong Zhou Qin took off his court clothes, retreated left and right, and returned to the study alone.

In the study, the three crows returned to their cages, and when the door was closed, a figure with a cane came out of the dark place behind the screen.

When he arrived here, Sikong Zhi, one of the 'Seven Stars of South Vietnam', had already removed the black cloak on his body, revealing the gray black robe on his body.

The robe is not large, but it is very loose on Sikong Zhi's body, as if a robe is hanging on a bone shelf, and even the bulge of the bone joints can be seen. The hair on the head is thin, only a few strands are left hanging down from the back of the head, the skin is sallow and densely wrinkled, and the whole person looks like a candle in the wind, as if a gentle push, it is possible to fall apart on the spot, and Zhou Qin, who has a childish face, are completely two extremes.

Sikong Zhi and Xu Buling set off from Feishuiling to the capital at the same time, Xu Buling ran too fast and arrived in the morning, while Sikong Zhi had just arrived.

Sikong Zhizhi leaned on a rattan cane, sat down at the desk, and said:

"Xu Buling, the Ye Jiuniang beside her, is a bit of a Taoist, and the lock dragon Gu that appeared in the Tang family in Youzhou is probably from her hand. If it weren't for the Lock Dragon Gu, it would be impossible for the sound flyer to miss. Now Xu Buling has been alerted, and if he wants to start again, it is difficult to climb to the sky. ”

An Guogong Zhou Qin stood at the window, feeding the three black crows, and said calmly:

"Have you leaked the news that we are waiting?"

Sikong Zhi thought about it: "Zhan Bao has already been hit by the rotten bone needle, it is impossible to say anything to Xu Buling, at that time, it was just in the name of the second prince, Xu Yi, a high-ranking official, let him disturb the eighteen villages, and he didn't know much." My identity has definitely been revealed, though. ”

"Xu Buling should not be underestimated, and he may find out about the capital. After receiving your news, I have already asked people to spread the news, and as long as I go to the capital, I will learn that people are locked up in prison, and I will definitely go to see them. If you go to arrange it again, you must control Xu Buling. ”

Sikong Zhi nodded slowly, put on his cloak again, and quietly disappeared into the study......

-------

The sun is setting in the west, and people are coming and going on the Guifei Street.

The shopkeeper sat outside the old tavern, staring intently at the door of the mansion opposite, day after day, year after year, and now, it has been twenty years.

The shops on the street were closed and opened, and the children who used to put paper kites on the street became young men in their prime; And the daughters who used to smile and smile, some married into the princely mansion, some disappeared silently in the market, and even worse, they have been buried in the earth and turned into a handful of loess.

In the past 20 years, the people on Guifei Street have changed a few rounds, and the only thing that has not changed is this old tavern and the shopkeeper who is sitting at the door in a daze.

Over time, the people on the street have become accustomed to it, and they only regard Xiao Er as a little minion at the bottom of the market, and no one will pay attention to it, even if it is someone who has been looked at by Xiao Er for 20 years.

Everyone is accustomed to the existence of the shopkeeper, and even the old shopkeeper of the tavern doesn't remember when this little boy was recruited, only that he is honest, and he has never been late for a day in the past 20 years, and he seems to have taken root in the tavern, so that the old shopkeeper has moved his mind to pass on the ancestral property to the little er.

After all, if this little two leaves the tavern, the old shopkeeper doesn't know how he should live.

The sun sets, and in the blink of an eye, it's time for the sun to set.

As in the past, in the mansion opposite, the prince Chen Ju, who was dressed in an ordinary scholar's robe, walked out of it with his entourage and went straight to the door of the old tavern.

The shopkeeper was only distracted at this time, stood up, and bowed and raised his hand very politely:

"Yo~ Childe is here, please come in, is it still the old rule?"

"The old rules."

Chen Ju's face was a little sad, but in the face of this shopkeeper who he had known since he was a child, he did not pose as an emperor's house, but was very easy-going, just like an old friend.

The guards behind him were not at all surprised by this. Soon after Chen Ju was born, Zhou Guifei died of illness, and the monarch Chen Jin was in a slump since then, and he missed it too much in his heart, and almost every day he would take the little prince to sit in this tavern, and he would sit all day.

At that time, the prince was still young, so it was naturally impossible to accompany Chen Jin to borrow wine to kill his sorrows, so he ran around in the tavern by himself, and Xiao Er played with him until the prince grew up and moved out of the palace to live in the opposite mansion.

The mansion opposite was originally the house that Zhou Guifei had purchased when she first entered the palace. In the past, An Guogong lived there, and Zhou Guifei would often go back to her parents' house to see.

After the prince Chen Ju lived here, he may have developed a habit since he was a child, and every day in his spare time, he would come to the tavern to sit down, and it can be said that he spent more time communicating with Xiao Er than Chen Jin on the sickbed.

Chen Ju sat down at the wine table, and the shopkeeper came over with the freshly warmed wine and poured the wine with a smile. Seeing that Chen Ju's face was a little sad, the shopkeeper said:

"Childe seems to have something to worry about? But too busy with politics? ”

Chen Ju has reached the crown, although he did not inherit the throne of the monarch, but the monarch Chen Jin is crazy and unable to deal with the government, Chen Ju is assisted by his grandfather Zhou Qin, and there is not much difference between him and the emperor.

Hearing Xiao Er's words, Chen Ju shook his head and said:

"You don't understand, let's drink bar."

"Hehe......"

The shopkeeper nodded, sat down next to the wine table, thought about it, and talked about what he saw and heard in the tavern today:

"At noon today, there was a barbarian from other places in the shop, who was quite handsome, but he was full of gibberish, which was very annoying."

Chen Ju basically comes over every day, and naturally he doesn't think about those troubles in the tavern, and listening to the shopkeeper talk about trivial things to accompany the wine, it can be regarded as relaxing. At this time, there was also a joke:

"What? Handsomer than me? ”

"Then naturally it won't be able to catch up with the child."

The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand: "That guy is more handsome than the rabbit in the Xiang Mansion, it is estimated that he came out of it, and he is virtuous, and he has two good-tempered girls by his side...... Anyway, the son is also in his early twenties, but did he ever have a favorite girl? This is a big deal......"

Chen Ju put down his wine glass, a little helpless: "Zongren Mansion urges this every day, why did you start talking about this?" By the way, I don't seem to have seen you find a daughter-in-law since I can remember, and I'm not in a hurry after being single for decades? If you can't find it, how about I find a maid from the house and send it to you? ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand: "Childe said that he was used to living alone, and there were many people around him, but it was uncomfortable." ”

"That's it, so do I."

Chen Ju picked up the wine glass and touched it with the shopkeeper.

The two had not finished drinking a pot of wine, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the street.

Chen Ju looked out the window, and a guard ran over from the street, bowed and said:

"Your Highness, there is an accident in the prison, and two groups of people are fighting there, and there seems to be a gangster on the rivers and lakes among them......

When Chen Ju heard this, his face sank slightly, and after glancing at the Anguo Mansion in the distance, he got up and walked out:

"Who else is the wave?"

"The Praetorian Guard has blocked the perimeter, it's not clear, and it doesn't seem to be a good ...... to see the battle."

The shopkeeper stood up to see off the customer, and when he heard this short speech, his brows furrowed slightly......
