"Where is that man now?"

Zhao Gou hurriedly asked, Youzhou Thorn Shi shook his head, he really didn't know where that person went, but Zhao Gou still felt that the person was still in Youzhou, so he sent someone out to look for it.

"Lord Wang, could it be that person is also from the White Lotus Society?"

Zhao Gou replied: "That person shouldn't be, but I feel he should know more about it." Now we don't know much about this Cizhao real person, and if we had his guidance, we would probably not be so passive. ”

Cizhao Zhenren was still smug, thinking that Zhao Gou didn't know his details, but he didn't know that Zhao Gou already knew.

If someone hadn't reported the news, how would they know his details? Zhao Gou's guess was right, and the man really knew them well.

When Zhao Gou rushed out, the man hadn't left yet, and even Thorn Shi was stunned.

"Aren't you leaving?"

"The villain knows that the prince has something to ask, so he is waiting for the prince to come." The man looked Zhao Gou up and down, and praised: "It is worthy of being the dragon and phoenix among people, it is rare for my young lady to be so devoted to you." ”

"Your young lady?" Zhao Gouhu said suspiciously.

"The prince and noble man forget things, of course I don't remember!" The man said sarcastically, his tone was not as good as before, and he looked at Zhao Gou coldly, "Didn't the prince want me to stand here?" ”

Zhao Gou remembered to invite him into the mansion and let people serve tea, the man took a sip, and then asked Zhao Gou to retreat left and right, only the two of them were there, and the others retreated.

"Does the prince know who I am?"

"You're a Manichaean?" After thinking about it, there are only a handful of women who have a relationship with him, and now there are two people in the mansion, and one person is the Manichaean saint Fang Jinzhi.

In addition, Zhao Gou also observed that this person's martial arts had the shadow of Manichaeism. As he guessed, the person in front of him was full of hatred for himself, but he had to help himself, and he was a little entangled.

Zhao Gou concluded that this person's status in Manichaeism was not low.

"The prince has good eyesight!" The man exclaimed, "I am the left protector of Manichaeism, and I can also say that I am the new one." The previous Dharma protector and the envoy were all killed by the prince, and I just survived. ”

Zhao Gou ignored him and asked directly, "Where is she?" ”

"Now that I think about it, what did you eat before!" Zuo Protector asked angrily, "If it weren't for you, how could my young lady have fallen to this, and how could Manichaeism be divided into two, if you want to see her, go find it yourself, don't come to ask me." ”

Zuo Protector was full of resentment, he really didn't want to deal with Zhao Gou. If it weren't for Miss's order, he would have wanted to kill Zhao Gou, if it weren't for Zhao Gou, how could Manichaeism have collapsed, and how could it have ended up like this, a world away from its former heyday.

Zhao Gou asked again: "Please let me know!" ”

The left protector refused again, but Zhao Gou still didn't give up, and finally the left protector said coldly: "If you want to see her, if you have the ability, come with me!" ”

Zhao Gou didn't say a word, and left directly with Zuo Protector, seeing that everyone was stunned, they didn't understand what was happening, but they heard Zhao Gou tell them not to follow, and in the end they could only give up.

"Uncle Zuo, are you back? How's it going? ”

Zuo Protector replied: "Miss, ask him face to face!" ”

"Ask him in person?" Fang Jinzhi said suspiciously.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Zhao Gou heard the familiar and unfamiliar voice outside the door, he had already pushed the door in, just in time to see Fang Jinzhi's white and flawless face, but at this time there were some vicissitudes and helplessness.

"You...... Uncle Zuo, why did you bring him here? Fang Jinzhi panicked and questioned Zuo Protector again.

The left protector didn't say anything, and turned to leave. Originally, he didn't plan to bring Zhao Gou here, but when he remembered that his young lady obviously missed Zhao Gou very much, and even the foothold was in Youzhou City, how could he not see this thought.

As a result, the Zuo Protector took the initiative to bring Zhao Gou with him.

Zhao Gou followed behind him, walking faster than him, just to see the person he hadn't seen for a long time. It wasn't until he came here that he found that the distance between him and Fang Jinzhi was not far, it could be said that it was nearby, but he just hadn't seen it.

At that time, Zhao Gou recalled that when he married Li Shishi, the flashing figure was a little familiar, but he felt that it was impossible, so he didn't pay attention to it in the end. Now that I think about it, that figure is Fang Jinzhi, she has always been in Youzhou, right by her side, but it's ridiculous that she doesn't know it.

"Are you okay?" Zhao Gou didn't know how to say it, and he didn't know what kind of feelings he had for the other party.

Lovers, no; Couple, no! Even if there is a husband and wife, there is no name of husband and wife. Zhao Gou looked at Fang Jinzhi intently, he had a lot to say but couldn't say anything.

"Hmm!" Fang Jinzhi replied in a low voice, she didn't know how to speak, but she didn't dare to look at Zhao Gou.

Even if she misses Zhao Gou, she will miss him, but at this moment, she doesn't know what language to use and what way to express her feelings.

The two fell silent for a long time!

Fang Jinzhi got up, Zhao Gou thought she was leaving, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab her hand, and that feeling hit again, as if returning to the old scene. Fang Jinzhi's face turned red violently, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"You...... You let go! Fang Jinzhi blushed and whispered, her hand was tightly grasped by Zhao Gou, trying to break free but unable to do anything.

Zhao Gou said: "If you let go again, you will have to leave!" ”

The implication is that Zhao Gou is unwilling to let go, and he can't let go. Fang Jinzhi couldn't hear it, she hurriedly said, "Who told you that I'm leaving?" ”

"Aren't you leaving?"

Fang Jinzhi glanced at Zhao Gou and said, "I'm uncomfortable sitting, get up and walk!" Besides, are you looking for me today for this matter? ”

Zhao Gou smiled and said, "He will be happy to see you, and he almost forgot something important." How do you know that he was the leader of the White Lotus Society? Didn't you see him? ”

Fang Jinzhi said: "Do you know the origin of our Manichaeism? ”

"Know a little bit about it!"

"Manichaeism was originally created by the Persian Mani, and Tang Wu was introduced to Middle-earth in the future. However, Tang Wuzong did not advocate Buddhism, so Manichaeism was suppressed. The White Lotus Sect was also introduced to the Central Plains from the east, and it was able to survive by relying on Buddha and Taoism. ”

"It can be said that the fate of our religion and the White Lotus Society is similar, the White Lotus Sect originates from the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism, according to legend, the ancestor of the Pure Land Sect of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Shi Huiyuan in the Lushan Donglin Temple and Liu Zhimin and other knots of the White Lotus Society to chant Buddha together, later generations of believers thought that it was a model, and the ancestors of Manichaeism had a great relationship with the White Lotus Society, and the origin was quite deep."

"Because the White Lotus Society is very popular among the people, the White Lotus Society has a large number of followers, and it is much stronger than Manichaeism. Therefore, the entry of Manichaeism into the Central Plains in the later period was mostly due to the development and continuation of the popular base of the White Lotus Society, and it was constantly expanded. ”

"In this case, Manichaeism and the White Lotus Sect are inextricably linked?" After listening to what Fang Jinzhi said, Zhao Gou summed it up.

"So to speak!" Fang Jinzhi did not deny it, and continued: "It wasn't until my father took over the Manichaeism that he decided to break away from the White Lotus Sect and have nothing to do with it. However, how could the White Lotus Sect agree. Because of this incident, my father had a conflict with the leader of the White Lotus Sect, that is, Cizhao Zhenren. ”

Cizhao Zhenren made an appointment to fight his father, and the two fought for three days on the top of the light, and in the end, his father won, but it was only a tragic victory. Since then, Cizhao Zhenren has disappeared for ten years, and last year someone found out about Cizhao Zhenren, so I immediately started to investigate, and sure enough, I found that he was in the capital, and he also colluded with the prince. ”

It was only at this time that Zhao Gou understood the reason why Zhao Huan's power was developing so fast, all of this was the White Lotus Sect's help behind the scenes, so it made sense. However, what he didn't understand was why the White Lotus Sect wanted to participate in the court dispute, and there was no need to do so.

"If he is the head of a religion, why should he be involved in political struggle? Aren't you afraid of getting burned by doing so? ”

Fang Jinzhi shook his head and said: "The specific situation is not clear, but I heard my father say that Cizhao Zhenren, the reason why my father broke off the relationship with the White Lotus Sect is actually because Cizhao Zhenren's ambition is too great, and he actually subverted the imperial court, wanted to ascend the throne himself, and even wanted to kill the king and seize the throne." ”

"Actually, I can't figure it out. Since my father rejected Cizhaozhen's proposal at that time, why did he ...... himself?"

Fang Jinzhi didn't understand, but Zhao Gou did. Because Fang La has a close relationship with Zhao Gou and Zhao Ru, coupled with Fang Jinzhi's biological mother, Fang La chose brotherhood, so he did not join Cizhao Zhenren and rebelled together.

However, Zhao Gou couldn't tell Fang Jinzhi about this matter. After all, the things involved in this matter are too long, and Fang La was indeed captured by his own hands, and he was even beheaded by the emperor's order. At the beginning, he promised Fang La to take care of Fang Jinzhi, but unfortunately he didn't do it at all.

"Before, the Left Protector said that Manichaeism was divided into two, what the hell is going on?"

Fang Jinzhi was stunned for a moment and said, "It's nothing, this matter is none of your business, I will handle it properly!" ”

"What the hell is going on, you tell me the truth!" Zhao Gou pressed Fang Jinzhi again, wanting to find out what was going on.

Fang Jinzhi refused again, just unwilling to tell the truth. Under Zhao Gou's questioning three times and twice, Fang Jinzhi simply got up and left, but he didn't want to say it. Until one of them ran and the other chased, but they were stopped by the voice of the left protector.

"Miss, the young master is awake, go and take a look!"

Fang Jinzhi didn't say a word, and ran away.

Zhao Gou muttered: "She has a child?" ”

Even so, Zhao Gou still followed, but the left protector stopped Zhao Gou from advancing. However, how could Zuo Protector's martial arts be Zhao Gou's opponent, and in the end, Zhao Gou dodged and chased after him directly. When Zhao Gou saw Fang Jinzhi again, she was holding a one-year-old child in her arms, wearing tiger head shoes and a tiger head hat, and she couldn't see her face clearly.

The kid was held in Fang Jinzhi's arms, and when Zhao Gou took a closer look, there were still tear stains on the corners of his eyes, and his fingers were sucking in his mouth, as if it was delicious. Zhao Gou looked at it again, and the child's face was full of meat, bulging, and cute.

Fang Jinzhi was also startled when he saw Zhao Gou appear beside him, and woke up the child, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhao Gou curiously, and his big smart eyes looked at Zhao Gou with a slick look. Zhao Gou was looked at by the child, and he also looked back, and the two of them stared at each other with big eyes, just like that.

"Is this your child?" Zhao Gou asked bitterly, at this time he really couldn't say what kind of pain he felt in his heart, even he didn't know what it was, but he felt that there was a stone blocking his heart, which made him uncomfortable.

"Hmm!" Fang Jinzhi replied in a panic, and she hurriedly held the child in her arms, as if she didn't want Zhao Gou to see it.

Zhao Gou glanced at Fang Jinzhi curiously, her speed was very fast, and Zhao Gou still saw that the jade pendant hanging around the child's neck was his jade pendant, that is, the jade pendant that was snatched by Fang Jinzhi. When he thought of everything, the whole person froze, looked at the child stupidly, and said excitedly: "This is my son? ”

"No...... No! Fang Jinzhi replied tremblingly, but her voice had betrayed herself.

Zhao Gou ignored Fang Jinzhi, his gaze stayed on the child, the eyes were very similar to his mother, but the outline was very similar to himself, and there was the jade pendant as evidence, Zhao Gou was determined in his heart, this child was actually his own, which made him very happy, and the sunshine appeared on his face that was still a little gloomy before, and he smiled stupidly.

The child looked at Zhao Gou curiously, and when he saw him smiling, he also laughed stupidly, his eyes narrowed again, waving his little hands, which made Zhao Gou's heart melt, he wanted to pick up the child, but he stopped, he didn't dare to step forward, and looked at Fang Jinzhi with begging eyes, the meaning was self-evident.

Fang Jinzhi saw the child's smiling appearance, her heart also melted, and when she saw Zhao Gou's pitiful gaze, she softly hugged the child to Zhao Gou and asked him to hug it. Fang Jinzhi's behavior has confirmed Zhao Gou's guess that this child is indeed his own.

Whether it is Xing Bingyi or Li Shishi, neither of them is pregnant, and Zhao Gou doesn't want to have a child at this time, so he did a good job. Because the current situation seems to be stable, it is actually still a little unstable, which makes Zhao Gou a little uneasy, so he decided not to have children for the time being.

Just looking at the little guy in front of him, his heart softened, and those words that he didn't want children were all forgotten, this was really the biggest surprise, how not to make Zhao Gou ecstatic.
