But said that the national teacher returned to the residence, although it was the emperor's respected national teacher, the residence was very elegant, only three or two boys sprinkled and cleaned, serving flowers and plants. When I left the room, I saw the most beloved orchid in front of the window, inexplicably withered, my heart moved, I opened my eyes and pinched my fingers, and silently said, "I am fierce." ”

After staring at the orchid for a while, his eyes were half-narrowed, and he walked to the bookcase and sat down cross-legged, silently calculating the fortune of the Nine Emperors.

The boy came to serve tea, saw that he was serious, it was inconvenient to disturb, only to see that the candle flame was not very bright, so he gently turned on the candle flame, the lamp shadow was elongated, one old and one young, quiet and easy, floating in a dream.

Lao Dao calculated the result, shook his head slightly, or wrote it on paper and sealed it in an envelope. "This is to be handed over to Your Majesty. ”

Although the boy wondered why he handed it over to himself, he still didn't ask too much, and took it with both hands.

Lao Dao instructed him one by one, as if he was going to leave home for his grandmother.

When the boy went out full of questions, Lao Dao thought to himself, how to be free and easy, and the word human nature is inevitable, and in the future, these children, alas, look at their own creation.

Let's calculate the fate of Da Chu again, although I am not good at learning, I still calculate the clouds and mountains and fog, but I can see that I will not break the lifeline, and I will finally live up to His Majesty's trust.

Early the next morning, the boy came to the door early with water, knocked on the door, but no one answered, or followed the question in his heart, pushed the door in, and saw Lao Dao still sitting cross-legged in front of the desk, his face was pale, and his expression was still as peaceful as usual. When I walked in, I almost couldn't hold the water, but I still spilled it on the ground. Lao Dao had a silver needle stuck in his eyebrows, and he almost didn't get it all in, and he was no longer breathing.

The candle has burned out, and only the tears remain.

Lao Dao put a piece of paper in front of him, on which only the word 'cause and effect' was written, the pen was powerful, and the artistic conception was complete, which was the meaning of seeing through.

The boy put down the basin of water, bowed to him, and then withdrew from the house and called for someone to come.

The old Tao was born with a wise root, and he cultivated for most of his life, and the flaws in his whole body were only in the center of his eyebrows, but unfortunately, if he was missing, it was not perfect.

The news reached the palace and flew into all parts of the capital, and everyone knew that His Majesty respected the national teacher, and the national teacher was killed, and the matter was no less serious than the assassination of the prince. The national teacher is deeply trusted by His Majesty, but he is indifferent to fame and fortune, has no quarrel with others, and has no benefit from others, and rarely intersects with the big names.

Everyone is concerned about the situation, but no one wants to intervene.

The emperor received the letter handed over by the boy, and read it quickly, "The words of the Mandate of Heaven?" I am the Son of Heaven, can my judgment be wrong?

I'm afraid that Lao Dao didn't expect that a person who insists on going his own way would care about the destiny of heaven, and his death gave him the perfect excuse. But he has attained perfection, from birth to death, from nothing to nothing, from existence to nothing, and it is not perfection.

Xie Ling and the others didn't expect that he was killed just after finding out that there was something wrong with the national teacher's elixir, so what a coincidence?

In cases such as the assassination of the national teacher, the emperor handed it over to Jingzhao Mansion to handle, but it was already common sense that Yin Hanfei of Jingzhao Mansion heard His Majesty's trust, and everyone was waiting to watch the play, so naturally no one stopped him.

Under the bustling capital, the undercurrent is surging, and King Xie Ling feels that this matter is unusual, so he naturally wants to follow the investigation, and the other group of people also began to move.

In addition to investigating the case, choosing the successor of the national teacher is also a major matter, the former national teacher has two apprentices, it is said that they are both talented, and they have their true inheritance, but the national teacher only needs one, and it needs to be considered.

The wind in Beijing is surging, and Nishihara is also not very stable.

In an iron ore mine, which was only more than 50 miles away from the original city, a group of people in ragged clothes and hungry faces were held in a mine, and many of them looked desperate.

"I heard that Lao Deng Tou was seriously ill with a cold, so they not only didn't treat him, but also threw him directly into the abandoned mine, which was simply inhumane. ”

A slightly older man put his hand on the young man's shoulder and comforted, "They have long been inhumane, so let's pay attention to their bodies, here, only if you can work can you be valuable and live." ”

Everyone was silent when he said this, and when the young man heard this, he was even more painful, holding his head and shouting, "It's all my fault for being greedy, being deceived into this hellish place, no one works every night, even the life is someone else's, Ah Lian and Xiaohua are still waiting for me at home, why am I so useless." ”

Who here doesn't have pain in their hearts? In addition to physical exertion, this silent pressure, the dark life, is even more breathless.

The guard at the entrance of the cave swung his whip a few times, "What the ghost is called, shut up Lao Tzu." ”

Seeing that everyone was too frightened to speak because of his majesty, he went back and sat down triumphantly.

The other man filled him with a bowl of wine, and the two began to talk again.

"Have you heard, in the past few days, those two world-famous young heroes thanked each other, and the twilight sunk to our Xiyuan, and they settled in the original city not far from here. ”

"You are an officer and soldier, and you are not a chivalrous man, what do you care about this. ”

The man looked well-informed." You don't know this, these two people are excellent in martial arts, one doesn't know how many of us are beaten, and the identity of the two of them is not simple, I heard in the city today, that Xie Yan is the daughter of the Xie family, the granddaughter of the old lady Xie, a few days ago because of the Binzhou flood went to the capital, the world knows her true identity, that twilight Tianshen is the second young man of the famous Fengyun Villa on the rivers and lakes, and it is also famous for fighting unevenly, as soon as these two people arrived in the original city, they let them find the famous swordsman Gu Qifei a few years ago, and there was a big battle, which is said to be very exciting。 ”

"Look at you like this, you should also be a chivalrous guest, but officials are not afraid of the people, they are powerful, we are officials, and when we meet, we don't have to be polite. ”

"This is true, but the Xie family is powerful, even after ten years, no one dares to forget it, not to mention that Xie Ming, the general of the Xie family's young right guard, is stationed in Xiyang Pass, three hundred miles away. ”

"These people, far away from us, what are you afraid of, drinking and drinking. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention, although the officials and businessmen of Xiyuan colluded and did not care about their life or death, but with the style of the Xie family, if they knew about the atrocities of these people, they would definitely save them, and some people naturally thought about it.

After the two guards fell asleep, several miners who had not yet slept slowly gathered together, talked in a low voice, and decided to let the youngest and strongest Ah Niu and Da Zhuang find an opportunity to escape and run to the original city thirty miles away for help. The others helped to cover up, buy time, and fight so that they could have a chance to go home and see their relatives.

After the discussion, several people rested as usual.

At dawn on the second day, everyone was called up to work, still gruel steamed buns, in order to make them have the strength to work, there were still steamed buns.

Last night, a few people slowly approached, a few days ago when I was working, I found a waste mine road, where can I escape, I was afraid to run out and couldn't find the way to find no food is also looking for death, yesterday I heard the guard say that this is the downstream of the original river, and it is not far up the river to the original city, so you don't have to worry about finding the road.

Erniu and Da Zhuang were working while moving towards the abandoned mine. A middle-aged man pushed a cart past the guard, accidentally tripped and fell, and the car almost hit one of the guards' feet, and the guard was furious. Lifted the whip and whipped it down, "Don't you have long eyes?

The other guards were also extremely bored, and when they saw that there was a good show to watch, they all watched it, and the two of them took the opportunity to drill into the waste mine road, and carefully walked into dozens of feet and then pulled their legs and ran wildly.

The middle-aged man knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, the guards refused to forgive, and he was beaten fiercely, and he was sent to this kind of place, he was already angry, and these people who were not long-sighted, they had to be taught a good lesson.

One of the guards last night saw him ruthless, and persuaded him, "Third brother, don't fight too hard, anyway, it's a cheap guy who is a cow and a horse, just let him do more work, if we lose manpower here, the goods can't compare to the other one, we will also be punished." ”

The other guard dramas have also seen enough, and they are afraid that it will affect themselves, so they asked him to stop fighting, so the guard stopped and kicked the middle-aged man away, "Hurry up and get out of the work, don't be lazy, I won't have your food at noon." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you. The middle-aged man hurriedly ran away, seeing his frightened appearance, the guards were full of majesty, and couldn't help laughing.
