"Knock knock!"

"Who are you looking for?"

"Xu Zhou."

"Hey, he's dead."

Ping'an County Ya, prison.

Xu Baizhi knocked on the door of the prison with Qingque, saying that the two of them had come to find the jailer Xu Zhou.

The one who came out to answer was a man of five big and three thick, with a sturdy body, covered in pimples and flesh, like a small mountain, a lot taller than the two of them, and his arms were thicker than the thighs of the two.

"Dead, dead?" Qingque stammered, her face suddenly turned pale, her body shook, and she almost couldn't stand on her feet.

She didn't like the little jailer, she just had a feeling for him...... Because she thinks that the little jailer lives a very real life, and he will also splash and roll, which is very interesting, and he is also very interesting to speak, and he is not like other officials, who bully others.

Qingque hadn't met such an interesting person for a long time, she wanted to talk to Xu Zhou, chat, nothing else.

Xu Baizhi noticed the strangeness of the little girl next to her, and immediately reached out to support her, and looked at the big man again: "How did you die?" When did it happen? ”

Dahan waved his hand, not caring and said, "Last night, I was slapped away by the Demon Sect and fell to the ground, and I fell to my death with a chirp." ”

", Pang Hu, what are you talking nonsense!"

As soon as the big man finished speaking, an angry shout came.

Out of the prison came a middle-aged man with a beard on his face, and the bearded man drove away a few jailers who were not too big of a problem and gathered around the door to watch the excitement, and told them to go back and put water and food for the prisoners.

This dog-day Pang Hu actually said that Xu Zhou was dead.

"Borrow a step to speak." Chen Wude spread his hands and invited the second daughter to the side to talk.

The three of them walked to a secluded part of the alley.

On the way, Chen Wude recognized Xu Baizhi and knew that she was the female shopkeeper of Xu Fuji in the business world, so he bowed his hand slightly: "I don't know what the shopkeeper Xu is looking for Xu Zhou?" ”

Xu Baizhi restrained her mind and guessed that the big man who said that Xu Zhou died was joking.

"Xu Zhou isn't dead, is he?" Xu Baizhi asked with a wink.

Chen Wude nodded.

Of course, he didn't die, but he was a little injured, and in the early morning, he was taken back by a big man who claimed to be the commander of the Imperial City Division to heal his injuries.

Hearing that Xu Zhou was not dead, the worried look on the little girl's face on the side slowly subsided, and then she blinked her big apricot eyes and listened to the big man and the young lady in front of her.

"What's the matter with Shopkeeper Xu Zhou? He's not here now, what can I do for him, I'm his uncle, and I'm also the head of the county jail. Chen Wude patted his chest and declared his identity, afraid that Xu Baizhi would not believe it.

Xu Baizhi stretched out her hand to hook the ends of her hair, shook her head, and looked dignified and generous: "It's not a big deal, but I just happened to come over and discuss business matters with Xu Zhou." ”

"Business?" Chen Wude was unknown, and his two horizontal eyebrows furrowed.

Xu Zhou usually abides by his duties, and he has never heard of him being entangled with Xu Fuji, is it because of Qian Dazhong?

Xu Baizhi didn't explain so much to Chen Wude, but just said that she would come back when Xu Zhou was there, and asked Chen Wude to help bring a sentence and let Xu Zhou recover from his injuries.

The two of them left, and they came and went as fast as they came.

Xu Zhou is not there, so there is nothing to say.

Back on the carriage on the side of the street, Xu Baizhi saw Qingque secretly wiping her tears, and sighed in her heart for a while: "How can you fall in love with him?" ”

As far as she knows, Xu Zhou has a family.

"I don't, I just feel like we're all friends." Qingque said timidly.

"Friends?"

"Hmmm......"

Xu Baizhi smiled and didn't say anything more...... It's hard to understand a girl's mind.

……

……

The sky is gray, last night the capital fire covered the sky and the sun, the night was too dark to see clearly, after dawn, the ashes fell from the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye, the fine ashes floated everywhere, the pedestrians on the road covered their mouths and noses, and coughed twice from time to time.

In the Imperial City Division, in a small courtyard, the true qi fluctuates frequently.

In the room, from time to time, there is the uncomfortable sound of Suzaku snorting, which makes people worry about it.

"How's it going?"

Xu Zhou, whose face was pale and had a dull pain in his chest, woke up at noon.

He saw Jiang Hongdou fighting with people last night and fell into decline, so he rushed up to help without saying anything, but his own strength was not good, and he was stunned by a palm, and he didn't know what happened after that.

When I woke up, I arrived here, the broken wrist was connected, but it took a long time to recuperate, and the internal injury was fine, and even if I felt it carefully, there was still a warm current in the dantian that was nourishing the meridians.

Jia Sheng stood on the steps, his old face showing fatigue.

Not long ago, he was kicked out of the house by Xu Shouren, the king of Zhenbei, saying that he was wandering around the house and sighing, which hindered Jiang Hongdou's healing.

"I don't know ......"

Jia Sheng just shook his head, slightly distracted.

His martial arts skills are not high, he is only worthy of the seventh grade, and he is valued by the emperor, so he can be appointed as the commander of the Imperial City Division, and he doesn't know anything about the injuries of such martial artists.

Yesterday, Jiang Hongdou faced the sudden attack of the Demon Sect Jizo, knowing that it was impossible to defeat it with his own strength, so he used the secret method without authorization to stimulate the potential in his body, and was counterattacked afterwards, and now he is on the verge of life and death.

With the power of a half-step grandmaster, Xu Shouren was trying his best to pull Jiang Hongdou back.

In the past, it was Wei Dao who did this work.

But Wei Dao left Beijing not long ago, and no one else knew where he had gone, and he couldn't find him.

Before Xu Zhou and Jia Sheng could say a word, the courtyard door was pushed open.

The person who came claimed to be from the palace said that His Majesty urgently summoned Jia Sheng back to the palace.

Although Jia Sheng was concerned about Jiang Hongdou's injury, the emperor's order could not be violated, so he still followed the visitor into the palace to meet His Majesty, and finally just glanced at the house reluctantly.

The treatment continued throughout the day, and no one came out.

Xu Zhou stood outside the door and spun around, but he didn't dare to go in to disturb, during which he leaned on the window and glanced in a few times along the crack in the window.

I found an old man in blue wearing a python robe, sitting on the edge of the bed and healing Jiang Hongdou, his expression was grim, and a layer of crystal sweat appeared on his forehead. And Jiang Hongdou, who was lying on the bed, was full of white gas, his brows were furrowed, and he looked very painful.

At dusk, the closed door finally opened.

The old man went out with heavy steps, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and let out a long breath, this trip was really not easy.

Xu Zhou, who had been guarding the courtyard, heard the sound and hurriedly stepped forward.

Before he could ask anything, Xu Shouren glanced Xu Zhou up and down, and took the lead in asking, "You are the new apprentice of Master Wei?" ”

Xu Zhou nodded.

Xu Shouren said again: "The princess's injury has been suppressed for the time being, and it is not a big deal, but it takes a long time to recuperate and recover." ”

"Princess?" Xu Zhou raised his eyebrows, as if he had heard some great secret.

Xu Shouren thought about it and sighed: "It's that this king is too talkative." ”

The ninth princess Jiang Hongdou is not like the other princesses of the dynasty, because of her mother, her identity is not recognized by some courtiers. Therefore, Jiang Hongdou is only often shown as a "disciple of Master Wei" and "the envoy of the Imperial City Si Zhuque" in the world.

"Okay, without further ado, this king will go first." Xu Shouren, the king of Zhenbei, didn't explain too much to Xu Zhou, and left the courtyard in a hurry, he had more important things to do.

Presumably, at this time, the ministers in the palace were already arguing.
