Chapter Twenty-Five: The Tiger Falls in Pingyang is not as good as a dog

Why?

It's not because it's the nephew of Li Zheng, the general of Zhengbei.

Li Zheng's distant cousin is the princess of the eldest prince, because of this layer of not far and not close relationship, Li Zheng has always been considered to be a member of the eldest prince's line. It's just that Li Zheng is arrogant, and he relies on his in-laws to climb the dragon and the phoenix, but he is afraid that he will not be glorious in his eyes, so he is never willing to take the initiative to talk about it, even if he hears people mention it, he just plays haha and passes, more like deliberately to avoid suspicion, the rare few times he returned to Kyoto, and he did not enter the Great Prince's Mansion.

As for the other princes, Li Zheng rarely interacted with them, as if he wanted to be his lonely minister and direct minister. Li Zheng sat in the northwest border, and the second prince knew the military of the eastern front, and the two rarely intersected. If it weren't for the news that Li Chengyang had fallen into Nanshao Prison this time, and the second prince happened to be in southern Xinjiang, I am afraid that the two would have nothing in common.

It's just that the second prince sent the news of his rescue to the northwest through a secret letter, and when it reached the hands of the meritorious general of the expedition to the north, it sank like a stone into the sea, and not even a single wave was turned. Everyone under the command of the second prince privately only said that the second prince was afraid that this time it was a horse's fart that slapped the horse's leg, but the second prince was not discouraged and still did not change his original intention, which was really surprising.

This Li Chengyang committed such an act of indignation between gods and men, which is known to the whole world. Don't say that this kind of guy who is inferior to beasts should die, I'm afraid that it's easy to save people, and if you can't turn around, you will be ashamed, and the reputation of the second prince will be damaged. Just to get a good relationship with Li Zheng, is it worth it?

It's just that the competition for the heirs of the temple is the most unapproachable and unreasonable. The second prince tried his best to disagree with the public and insisted on going his own way, and everyone was helpless. Mr. Yi sighed, stretched out a finger, dipped the tea and sketched on the table, and drew a rough plan of the prison with a few strokes. He pointed to the big circle on the periphery and said, "That large range is probably my limit, I can't be sure of the time, try to buy you a pillar of incense." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and without words, they could see the admiration in their hearts, who here could draw such a big circle? Looking at the entire Datang younger generation of formation masters, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a second person. However, Mr. Yi's face was calm as usual, and he didn't see the slightest hint of pride, so he just continued, "Grandpa Fu, you still have to allocate a few good hands to be responsible for dragging the other people." A few of you, go down to the dungeon to save people. ”

Mr. Yi pointed to the deliberately left gap on the periphery, drew a line diagonally, turned his head to Wang Zhidao, "Wang Taishou, you bring your own car and entourage, stay here, just wait for us to get it, you will find an opportunity to pretend to come out and block the road." That City Lord Li knows that this matter is strange, but he can't encroach on Shangguan after all, what about you. All it takes is a little stop, and it's done. ”

Gonggong Fu looked sideways at the table, thought for a moment before nodding and said, "Mr. Yi's plan is very comprehensive, I think it can, but there is no need to rush in the next day or two, first, to explore the truth and truth, and second, the details need to be carefully deduced to be perfect." ”

Everyone said yes. Mr. Yi was about to dust off the tea on the table, but his movements were sluggish, and the raised hand was raised in the air without falling, and he looked thoughtfully through the corner of the window lattice into the dark night in the distance, and a strange look appeared on his face, "Our people didn't do anything tonight." ”

This sentence seems to be a question, but in fact it is more of a clear emotion. There is no action, how can Mr. Yi not know. So Grandpa Fu didn't think about answering one or two seriously, but walked down from the chair as soon as possible, stood by the window and looked into the distance.

The darkness of the night had not yet slipped into the most silent time of the day, and the noisy and lively lights of the countryside and neighborhood, and the flickering and wandering lights of the distant mountains, were each embedded in the deep and lonely night. People who return home, those who leave home, are attracted by those sparks in the world, and they will unconsciously compare the scene in front of them with a certain picture in the depths of their memory, so as to give birth to some warm, sentimental or sad feelings.

The few sparse lights in Nanshao Prison naturally do not make people feel envious, but through the light leaking from the windows of the adjacent streets and alleys, they can vaguely see a few shadows deeper than the night, and bend forward in the alley facing the street, their route is obviously carefully designed, relying on each short leap, to maximize their figure hidden in the shadows. If it weren't for the wide field of vision from the third floor, and Mr. Yi sensed the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power and warned him, it would have been really difficult to notice.

This is not the number of rivers and lakes, or the style of the army, it has to be the instinct of people who have been walking in the dark for a long time. Father-in-law Fu and Mr. Yi glanced at each other with a look of surprise.

Mr. Yi returned to his seat, looking at the tea watermark stain on the table that had not yet dried, and gently and decisively crossed the watermark on the long street that represented the long street leading to the prison from the candied fruit shop, behind those dark shadows.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

Farther away, the flames flared up.

……

Cao Ru walked on the long street in the east-west direction, his steps were as brisk as flying, and he glanced back from time to time, signaling those behind to hurry up.

Today's choice is the dish of Fuyang Building in the east of the city, although the distance is a little farther, but this family's jade belt shrimp and flower langui fish are quite famous, but unfortunately when Dong Ru went, several dishes were almost sold out. Dong Ru originally wanted to change the restaurant, but he never expected to meet a clever shopkeeper, seeing that it was the wife of the city lord, he had to wait for them to allocate ingredients, and his words were serious, even if he didn't need money, he had to do this business.

Dong Rushi was embarrassed to refuse, so he stayed in the store for a little longer, and the time to set off for the government prison was much later than before. Thinking of coming back from prison again, he was afraid that he couldn't wait for the quiet at home, so he took Lu Zhi in a carriage and brought some food back to the house first. He walked with Yu Haoxin.

Yu Haoxin was dressed in white, carrying a huge food box in one hand, and a wine jug hanging from his waist, swaying behind him, like a big white goose that had just been released. He naturally didn't dare to complain to Cao Ruming, but just muttered and chirped all the way.

Cao Ru's ears were sharp, he heard clearly, raised his eyebrows, turned his head and glared at his eyes, and said, "Your favorite braised pork is also available, and the wine has also been beaten for you, what else do you want to do if you are so grinding." ”

"Walking, walking, walking. It's a moment and a half, and you won't die of hunger. Yu Haoxin made a bitter face, looked up at the candied fruit shop that closed early, pointed his finger, and complained loudly very weakly, "How is this business, it closed so early." ”

"Oh, let's go, you didn't have such a sweet tooth when you were a kid."

A few people upstairs held their breath and looked at each other. But seeing that the two of them didn't stop, they reprimanded all the way and defended all the way and gradually walked away.

After a long time, Yu Haoxin stopped again, Cao Ru stomped his foot viciously, and said angrily, "What's the matter, Xiaoyu!" ”

"There's a dog in the alley on the left! I'm most afraid of dogs! Yu Haoxin snorted, almost lost the food box, pointed to the left alley and shouted, "Throw a stone to drive the dog away!" ”

"I know, a big man, mother-in-law and mother have a lot of things." Cao Ru squatted down, picked up two stones, weighed them roughly, and tried to throw them into the depths of the alley.

Yu Haoxin listened to the sound and hurriedly shouted, "Sister Ru, it's not right for you to listen to this voice, you have to fight something, it's very stuffy." It is said that the dog that bites people does not bark, it seems that this dog is very fierce, and he is estimated to wait for us to turn back, so that he can rush up and bite our buttocks. You throw two more pieces, and you have to wait for the dog to bark, and it doesn't bite, and then we'll go." ”

Cao Ru nodded yes again and again, picked up two more stones on the ground, and threw them in the direction just now, and the force was a little heavier than just now. But I listened to the two bangs in the deep alley, and it really didn't seem to be the sound of smashing on the wall or falling to the ground.

"I really don't scream, do you want to throw two more?" Cao Ru was surprised. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a low, short dog barking from the depths of the alley. After a while, another dog barked nearby, sounding more obviously vicious.

Cao Ru clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Look, they are all barking dogs, they don't bite, this time you can rest assured." ”

Yu Haoxin also wanted to poke his head into the alley to take a few looks, but he was already taken away by Cao Rulian. I don't know if it was Cao Ru's two rounds of stones that had an effect, but the next part of the road was very quiet, and nothing strange happened.

However, after the two of them walked a long way, at the entrance of the alley where the two had stopped just now, deeper in, two black images were like monsters coming out of the wall, and separated from the wall that was clinging to them. One of them covered his bleeding forehead, and said angrily while inhaling cool air, "This little lady's hands are also dark, and her voice sounds delicate, who knows that her hands are really not small." ”

The other person covered his mouth, looked at the two teeth in the palm of his other hand, and his deliberately lowered tone was rough and majestic, but his speech was obviously a little penetrating, "It's not, it's too much back today, damn, the tiger falls in Pingyang, and you have to learn to bark as a dog." It's Lao Li, today's bones are hard, he didn't say a word, he was so born. ”

"Whereever, aren't you? They are all heroes, but they didn't discredit the building. ”

Not to mention that these two people were cleaning their wounds in the dark, complaining about bad luck while praising each other to boost morale. Cao Ru and Yu Haoxin had already walked slowly to the door of the prison, and Li Xinglin personally went to open the door to welcome them in. Cao Ru put all the food on the table in the prison cell, and then he couldn't hold back his little face, stepped on the stool and pointed to the distance only to laugh so that his shoulders shrugged, and he gasped while laughing, "Those few noodle melons, learn to bark dogs, hahaha, laugh at me." ”

Yu Haoxin hurriedly poured the wine, but his mouth was not idle, and he told all the stories of this trip. Several people laughed, but Jiang Li was not very satisfied, and said, "Xiaoyu, you should jump up and bite twice, the dog bites the dog's hair, and they don't dare to move." ”

Yu Haoxin jumped on the stool and bared his teeth, gestured towards Jiang Li, and said viciously, "Beware of me biting you." ”

Cao Ru smiled and separated the two, and said, "There is no shape all day, and the first wave of guests is about to arrive, although the noodles are a little melon, don't overturn the boat, don't hurry up and eat two bites." ”

Yu Haoxin was drinking happily, but when he saw Cao Ru's eyes, he was frightened, and hurriedly put the cup in his arms, and said with a depressed face, "I didn't have anything to do with it, just in time, drink two sips to strengthen my courage and not delay me to watch the play." ”

Cao Ru snorted and didn't care about him.

But when he saw a government official running in a hurry, he shouted from afar, "City lord, the wing on the north side of the government has run out of water." ”
