When Wu Shiyan heard this, he lowered his head: "Yin Zezhen has told me many times before, I should have stayed to see Bu Gongzi's ......" "The matter has come to this, and Lord Wu doesn't have to blame himself." When he was alive, he paid special attention to a blind girl, and we wanted to take care of it on our behalf. "A blind girl? But that young girl, she looks very good? "Oh? U-sama also knows. "Hmm...... I'm afraid it will surprise the two of you, so please come with me. ”

Passing by the place where the mutilated people gathered, Li Zesi examined each one from head to toe with a good eyeball, and found no abnormalities - there was neither the slightest murderous intent, nor the smell of magic, nor did there be a beggar similar to the picture. The mystic warlock was anxious: Shenluo, what the hell are you doing, why can't you come out and make it clear in person? Is it so difficult to see King Wu? You're still a spirit, and you're incapable of doing it this far! When they finally arrived at the corner where the blind people gathered, Zhou Hui and Li Zesi couldn't find the girl, and even the old man and masked man around her were nowhere to be found. Following Wu Shiyan's guidance, several people came to the gap between the junctions of several high walls, and found a tattered black cloth, it seemed, this should be a hole in the wall, barely blocked by the cloth, and the right to cover it.

Wu Shiyan patted the wall, and suddenly a terrible scream came from the cave. The black cloth was lifted, and it was the old man who crawled out first, and then the masked man who crawled out. But there was no girl. Both of them were stinking. Li Zesi pinched his nose and tried to call: "Shine? Hearing his voice, the two men trembled all over. Suddenly, there was a sound of rapid crawling from the hole, and a face was revealed. After Zhou Hui and Li Zesi saw it clearly, they were almost frightened.

This person was completely different from the beauty they had seen before. Three points like a person, seven points like a ghost, I can only barely tell that she is a woman, unkempt, with distorted facial features on her face, stained with blood and dirt, in the past, Zhou Nen's face actually appeared a lot of scars, most of them appeared around the eyes, and many of them looked very new. And the most striking thing is that her eyes are covered with a thick black cloth, which is tightly covered. Completely out of shape, following Li Zesi's voice, he suddenly pounced like a beast, grabbed the sleeve of the secret warlock's robe, and let out an angry roar that did not resemble a human voice, grabbing and beating. This was too unexpected for the two, Li Zesi was in a hurry, and was almost pushed to the ground by the sudden outburst of Yiyi, and hurriedly used the golden cicada to get out of his shell with the help of Wu Shiyan, and abandoned his coat before he hid. The girl lost her purpose and began to cry loudly, so miserable that she could not bear to listen. The masked man fumbled to hold Shining in his arms, desperately trying to reassure him.

Zhou Hui blurted out: "This ...... What the hell is going on? The old man, who had been listening for a long time, finally spoke: "You guys...... Is it a friend of Step Boy? His voice was also hoarse and rough, as if he had gone through countless tribulations. Precisely. It wasn't ...... last time" "Let's go." You made her like this......" Li Zesi was shocked: "I let her see the light with my own hands!" How could it hurt her? After Wu Shiyan asked the old man to call the masked man to bring Yi Yi back, he said to Zhou Hui and the others: "Two sons, you are deaf and clear-sighted, and you must not know the suffering of the blind. Let the old man tell you. ”

The old man heard that Wu Shiyan was beside him, so he said: "My eyes have been gouged out because I was convicted when I was young, and I have been blind for decades. Although it is also said that I have enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the world, but to this day, I can't remember the shape of the sun, moon and landscape. As the years go by, everything in the world is in the hearts of the blind, but the sound and taste of the empty taste, as for the shape, have long been blurred. "However, unlike us, she was born blind, and she has never seen a day of light in her life. I never knew Hei Zhou, I never knew Fang Yuan, I didn't know the distance, I didn't know my face, I moved, sat and lay down, it was all by feeling and hearing. Childe's kindness allowed her to regain her sight one day, but she couldn't bear it at all. ”

"From that day on, she was in a state of confusion, dizzy all day long, just crying and screaming, the light was dazzling, her mood was very bad, especially her balance was completely lost, and she could not walk at last, she could only crawl, and then she could barely take care of herself only by blindfolding her eyes, but she was on the verge of collapse." Speaking of this, the old man's hollow eye sockets kept twitching, and he couldn't speak for a while. Wu Shiyan continued for him: "Later, Yiyi was already unconscious, and he just shouted headaches every day, and no one else recognized him except for a few people around him. Mr. Chu...... You're the first person she's recognized by her voice in so many days...... She probably hates you......" said something that made King Wu and Li Zesi stunned. The two of them stood there awkwardly, unable to think of half a sentence.

"You better not come again." The old man sighed, "I'm dying, I can't bear to listen to this painful voice." On the way back, even King Wu had no intention of speaking. It was originally a good intention, but it inadvertently completely ruined the other party's life. Not only did he not find a clue, but even the last bit of memory that he had to catch step by step also deteriorated. It wasn't until Zhou Hui entered the mansion that he slammed his fist on the door in annoyance and sat down to drink tea. Li Zesi wanted to say something, but he just felt disappointed, and the two of them were silent for so long, thinking about things absentmindedly. King Wu casually unfolded the painting again and began to guess the meaning again.

After a while, Li Zesi said: "Actually, I've always been curious about a question. "Huh?" "Isn't that mirror left by Shenluo to Lord Min? In fact, if he has something to say, why doesn't he communicate directly with us through the mirror? It's also perfectly okay to let Wenwen speak. King Wu was still immersed in studying the meaning of the painting: "It's not for nothing, it's not for it-the second brother is not a yamen that is easy to enter and exit." Li Zesi stood up suddenly: "Such a blind guess can only disrupt our pace, I decided to visit the Wing King's Mansion once, find Shen Luo, and ask him what is going on." Zhou Hui raised his head in surprise: "Last time you asked you to go to the Qiwang Mansion, you also said that it was dangerous and dangerous...... "I'm already annoyed." Li Zesi's eyes revealed anger, "For so long, it's just that they're playing, and we have to take the initiative to participate at least once." ”

King Wu looked at the secret warlock who had always been troubled in confusion, and he didn't know the person in front of him who was radiating anger all around him. Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, suddenly there was a great chaos outside, and there was a noise. Before he could ask, a servant came panting and reported: "There is a fire under the west porch!" "Huh? The faces of the two people in the room changed, and Zhou Hui immediately shouted: "Has anyone been burned?" The servant was out of breath, but quickly added, "No, no!" It's just that the grass cut from the lawn a while ago has not been cleaned up, and it is piled up in the corner, and I don't know how to give it, and the person is fine. "Is it really just grass?" "Uh......," said the servant, after a moment's thought, "if I want to say anything else, it's that the cat in the kitchen seems to have been burned by the fire at the time." ”

"That's good." Zhou Hui breathed a sigh of relief, in order to drive away the rats, Wu Wangfu also raised a lot of cats, these little guys usually like to run around, and it is inevitable to be burned, as long as the person is fine. "Is it extinguished?" "Extinguished! It's just a lot of smoke, and people must clean it up carefully, and this kind of thing will never happen again. "Hmm. Got it. Waiting for the next person to withdraw, Zhou Hui turned around and asked Li Zesi, "Do you insist on going?" "It seems that the Wing Wangfu has laid a net of heaven and earth, even if it is like Shenluo, it is difficult to get out, this painting is probably he tried all the methods to pass to the Wen Mansion, His Highness and study it carefully, I will go directly to get a Ming Zhou - see which of the two of us is faster."

When Zhou Hui heard this, he suddenly smiled: "Brother Chu, you are not what you used to be. The mystic sneered: "People are forced out, aren't you the same?" "I think you're having some fun." "Whether I like it or not, someone will always ask me to do it, so it's better to save the effort of the other party's instigation from now on." "Ahh So sharp! I'm so sad to hear. "Save it." Li Zesi lifted the curtain and went straight back to his room, patiently waiting for the night to fall. In the half day that he closed his eyes and recuperated, the victims of Tian Yuan City reappeared.

This time, it was three people who didn't have any steps at all. Among them was a junior official. They caught fire at different locations in Tian Yuan at the same time, and this time no one tried to rescue them, and the crowd just dispersed, allowing them to run and cry out in pain in the streets. When the junior official caught fire, he was accompanied by his wife, who was six months pregnant. When she saw her husband on fire, she screamed and dodged, but fell into the Qingfeng River that crossed Tianyuan with one foot in the air and drowned on the spot. Other traffickers and pawns who tried to dodge these burning men caused a large-scale trampling, and seven children between the ages of three and twelve were trampled to death by the crowd, and countless other elderly and weak women and children were killed and injured. Li Zesi only learned about this when he heard the curfew at night. When he went out, Dugu Sheng was in Zhou Hui's study, talking nervously.

The feeling of the Wing King Mansion is completely different from the Qi King Mansion. If the latter is a plain swan, then the former is an exaggerated peacock. The same high-walled gate, for some reason, here in the Wing King's Mansion, is full of dazzling, colorful and terrifying decorations. Even the purple gate is ostentatiously decorated with continuous brocade tassels, which are not only peculiar in pattern and paradigm, but also extremely complex in shape, almost covering the masonry structure densely. On the other hand, there were not half soldiers around the Wing King Mansion, and it was extremely quiet.

Li Zesi easily walked to the wall, he tried to touch the ornaments with his hand, and he felt a pinprick pain half a foot away, and his fingers were jerked away by the force of the void. The mystic sorcerer gritted his teeth in pain: the Winged King's Mansion really didn't need soldiers. These annoying-looking decorations are all props for the secret ritual array! If all these secret ritual arrays are activated, not to mention human cats and dogs, even insects and ants, they will not want to enter or exit one.

Li Zesi carefully searched inside, and sure enough, he found a special method for dealing with spirits. To this extent, it is inevitable that the precautions are too much. Could it be that it is necessary not only to prevent people from intruding, but also to prevent people from escaping? It's no wonder that Shenluo can't get out, and now he is probably going around in circles in anger - in order to avoid people's eyes, he will limit himself. As soon as he thought that he would have to change his way to save this guy, Li Zesi felt sick to his stomach. Zhou Ju will not have such a person as an ugly cow under him, he has such a means under his subordinates, and he must disdain to raise martial artists again. That's a good thing. Li Zesi slowly paced into the middle of the shadows cast by the wall, ready to enter. While he was brewing, he suddenly heard the sound of a carriage rolling in the street.

Isn't there already a curfew? Why is there someone at this time? Li Zesi dodged and hid, and saw several carriages galloping in front of him, hanging bright purple flags, and the Yiwang Mansion opened a corner door, and someone welcomed them in. That's a freight sign that is exclusive to Zhouju. Under the rule of Emperor Wen, important materials such as salt were monopolized by the government, and the agency in charge of this matter was controlled by Zhou Ju. Tian Yuan runs up and down, and it depends to a considerable extent on this. Usually, there are Xiangbu items sent in day and night, as long as the logo of the Wing King is hung, it can pass unimpeded, and the curfew can be waived - this is the situation in the past, and now because the Qi King is in charge of the city defense, there are not a few Wing King trucks that have been detained, but in general, the banner of the Wing King still has certain privileges.

Vans? Apparently not. Li Zesi could see clearly that the cars going in front of and behind were just ordinary manned carriages. Judging by the speed and running posture of the horses, the weight is very light, and there are no more than two people on each vehicle. From the second carriage, Li Zesi put his eyes directly behind the heavy curtain of the carriage - a means that used to require concentration to complete, can now be done casually. The mystic sorcerer thought to himself: This should be attributed to King Wu, as long as he follows him, he will always fight with his life.

He seemed to have seen all of them. Li Zesi tried his best to search for their impressions in the depths of his mind, and finally came to the conclusion that these people should have been on the martial arts arena at that time. Moreover, it was in the middle of the crowd of onlookers who were able to get close to the last steps. Dignitary? Prince? Emperor Wen's attendant? Li Zesi couldn't make out it. He didn't recognize it until the last one. Wu Shiyan.

It's him? Li Zesi was puzzled for a moment, but quickly thought: Ji Zetang, where Wu Shiyan is located, is supported by Zhou Ju. He must be close to the Winged King.

Then, calculated in this way, those people in front of them will at least not be just ordinary friends with the Wing King. If it's just close colleagues, why don't they meet openly on Sundays, but choose to come in secret in the middle of the night? Thinking of this, the mystic was shocked: Could it be ...... Zhou Ju's private friends? He remembered that when Wen Cheng wrote to Emperor Wen, he reported that his students had made friends, which almost brought death to those young people—although Emperor Wen had always taken a policy of recuperation, it did not mean that he tolerated the behavior of his friends.
