In the early morning, on the street paved with blue bricks, there are horse-drawn carriages with the signs of various gates from time to time, and they drive into the white stone archway of Guozijian under the escort of the entourage.

As the highest institution of learning in Northern Liang, the students studying in Yanjing Guozi Prison cover all parts of Northern Liang, and even students from the Xihai Zhubu and the Southern Dynasties, and the scale is naturally not small.

Thousands of people eat, drink and have fun in business, so there are many businesses gathered in the surrounding area, and in the early morning, you can see a small street nearby, all of which are young men dressed as scholars.

On one of the wonton stalls, students can be seen gathering in twos and threes, chatting about some recent anecdotes in Beijing:

“…… Play quite flowery, it is said that the Hou Ye of Zhonglou Street is the east, and the eight major Oiran of Suijin Street are lit up, and after three rounds of drinking, they will start to play wine and raise orders, and they will draw who is fortunate to be whom, and they are divided into three roads......

"Huh~! It's going to cost a lot of money......"

"Don't listen to him. What I heard is that several people drank together, and the son of the old lady Hua found that the guest of Jingyang Hou had a different color, so he killed it with a palm, and Jingyang Hou was angry at first, and after a check, he found that the doorman was actually a barbarian of the Southern Dynasty who committed adultery and plunder, and he was immediately shock......ed."

"Didn't you say that the green dragon would kill?"

"Alas, why does the Hua family need these to increase their reputation, it must be that the son of Mrs. Hua doesn't want to be famous, and deliberately pushed this matter to the head of the Blue Dragon Society. Actually, the dignitaries and dignitaries are all clear in their hearts......"

……

At the table next door, there was another secret story:

"In the past two days in the capital, it seems that a big dragon has come......"

"Why did Brother Li say this?"

According to the grapevine, now both black and white are tracking down a group of people. Does Zhang Laosi in West Market know? It is the one known as the 'jack of all trades', it is said that from yesterday to today, four waves of people have come to the door to inquire about the news, politely pay money to coerce and lure, and unceremoniously call first and then ask, and if you can't ask, you will die......"

"Tut-tut...... Isn't the night devil of the Southern Dynasty coming to Yanjing? ”

"No, it is said to be the 'Five Immortals of the East China Sea', who just came from overseas, and the Dao Law has been able to reach the heavens, and the National Teacher's Mansion, the Twelve Institutes, the Criminal Department, the Blue Dragon Society, the Cao Gang, etc., were all alarmed. Didn't you notice that there were more errand patrols this morning, and there were a lot of gang thugs hanging out? ”

"Really...... Huh! Miss Hua is here, hurry up and ......"

……

On the avenue outside the small street, an inconspicuous carriage, with the word "Wan" sign, slowly drove towards the big archway of Guozijian.

There were four guards on the left and right of the carriage, and Night Terror Hall walked in front of the right, chatting with Hua Ning about some trivial matters along the way:

"Why are there so many bad people on the street today?"

Huaning came all the way from Wanbaolou and found that there were more dogs patrolling the street than usual, but he didn't associate it with the whereabouts of the Night Terror Hall.

After all, the news of the night Yama King coming to Yanjing leaked, and the imperial court was not as simple as sending a few miscellaneous fish to patrol the streets, not to mention the scene of transferring the forbidden army, sealing the nine gates, and summoning all the heroes to enter the king of Qin.

Hua Ning pondered slightly:

"It should be that there was an accident in the building in the spring yesterday, and it was the Houfu Men who died, the movement was too big to suppress, and the twelve symbolic search for the thieves in the rivers and lakes will give the people a look."

Even if the Night Terror Hall is a nine-trick exquisite heart, it is impossible to figure it out, and now Zhengyanjing is in the bizarre stage of 'black and white coordination, and the joint law enforcement of the north and south dynasties to catch the five monsters of the snake peak', and when he heard the words, he also felt that it might be the incident of the building in the spring yesterday, so he didn't pay much attention to it at the moment, and looked at the car window in a blink of an eye.

In the carriage, Hua Qingzhi changed into Guozijian's 'school uniform', probably a warm white skirt, covered with a green gauze gown, and her hair was coiled up, without wearing jewelry and jade accessories, only tied up with wooden hairpins.

Because Hua Qingzhi herself is not very old, she is not much different from Yunli, she is much more immature when she dresses up like this, and she is like a high school student, but her face is still attractive, with a strong bookish atmosphere in her youth, and her demeanor is soft and comfortable.

At this time, Hua Qingzhi was sitting by the car window, also looking at the school that had been separated for a few months; And because Bird Bird wanted to accompany Qinghe and Yunli to the city to inquire about the news of the 'Five Monsters of Snake Peak', he was not in the carriage at this time.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the gate of the Guozijian, the Night Terror Hall asked:

"When will Miss return home?"

Hua Qingzhi knew that Night Terror Hall still had her own affairs to do, so she wanted to send her to Guozijian to do private affairs and pick her up in the afternoon. She responded:

"If Mr. doesn't have an arrangement in the afternoon, he can go back to the house, if there is an arrangement, he will be busy until the evening. When you get to the place, you go to the city and buy some good fabrics and come back, and you can take them home, so you don't have to wait outside. ”

Night Terror Hall understands that this is to give him free time, and accepts his life with a smile.

And just as the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion on a small street next to them.

Night Terror turned its head to look, but saw a large group of young people in student uniforms, running directly to the carriage:

"Senior Sister Hua is back......"

"Senior Sister Hua brought a lot of luggage, right? I'll help you move in......"

……

In order to keep a low profile, Hua Qingzhi did not disclose the matter of her granddaughter in Washington, but she was famous and powerful in Yanjing, and her appearance was beautiful, although her legs and feet were a little problematic, but this did not prevent many students in Yanjing from pursuing her.

Hua Qingzhi is not a cold and arrogant character, her tutor has been very humble since she was a child, although it is difficult to be gracious, but she still greets them with a smile:

"Senior Brother Wang gained some weight after the New Year...... Senior Brother Zhao, why are your eyes red, did you sneak out to play again last night......

……

The Night Terror Hall used to often escort the big stupid car, and basically no one was allowed to enter the place where he passed, not to mention running over to say hello, and there was not even a passerby who dared to look up.

Now escorting Hua Qingzhi to the car, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of young cubs, and some of them even squeezed him to the side, which was really a little uncomfortable, and they all wanted to draw knives to intimidate the idlers and others not to get close to the protection target.

But at the gate of Guozijian, it was obviously inappropriate to draw a knife to scare people, and in desperation, Night Terror Hall could only use his body as an isolation belt like Huaning, escorting the carriage to the gate of Guozijian.

After the carriage stopped, Night Terror Hall moved the wheelchair off the car, and Lu Zhu helped Hua Qingzhi get out of the car, and a group of followers still did not disperse, following behind and chattering, some people even talked about these poems for Hua Qingzhi to comment.

Night Terror pushed the wheelchair behind his back so as not to get too close to the idlers, and followed along, to be honest, he began to be confident, after all, 'a turtle with a wide palm, four feet under the head to the sky' and other limericks, he can also do it.

And Hua Qingzhi's patience is really good, she didn't laugh at these messes when she heard them, and she also carefully evaluated and pointed out, and made suggestions for modification or something.

And just when everyone was busy, the night terror hall suddenly found a boy brother coming from a distance, holding a painting scroll in his hand, because he was wearing a student uniform and did not bring an entourage, he couldn't see the level of identity, and just walked in and greeted:

"Senior Sister Hua, you're here too."

The idle people who followed behind raised their heads when they heard this, and immediately greeted politely:

"Oh, Prince Wang! Did you come here to read in person? ”

"Yes...... Well?! You're not talking nonsense......"

……

When Night Terror Hall heard this, he was really a little nervous, and asked the green bead next to him in a low voice:

"Who is this?"

Lu Zhu obviously recognized the eldest grandson of the Wang family, and whispered:

"Wang Guifei's nephew, Wang Jiwen, has a very high status, and he is looking for fun all day long on weekdays, and rarely comes to the Guozijian ......"

Hua Qingzhi obviously recognized Wang Jiwen, because the two families had a good relationship on the surface, and their attitudes had not changed, so she bowed:

"Prince Wang."

Wang Jiwen's painting shaft tapped his palm, and he walked with a bit of grace, and when he came to the front and back, he first glanced at the guard in front of the wheelchair, and locked the night terror hall standing behind the wheelchair without asking, and his eyes were slightly bright:

"Yo he~ Miss Hua, the chief of the guard is really Zhou Zheng."

Where did Hua Qingzhi dare to push the Night Terror Hall to the front of the stage, and said modestly:

"Wang Gongzi has won the award, and the family has recruited people, where can he compare to Wang Gongzi."

Wang Jiwen came to school today to see what the person Situ Yanfeng was looking for.

At this time, although the skin is not very good, the wind and sun are yellow, but the bones and figure are perfect, and the overall look is one size bigger than him.

Since the person he was looking for met expectations, Wang Jiwen naturally didn't look too much at it, and began to ask Hua Qingzhi for warmth.

Hua Qingzhi chatted for a few sentences, and the target fell on the painting scroll in Wang Jiwen's hand, and asked:

"This painting is ......"

When Wang Jiwen heard this, he opened the scroll as if he were offering a treasure:

"Just spring, the Xixia Temple outside the city is very beautiful, and there are many people who go there to step on the spring incense. The concubine stays in the palace all the year round, and if I want to go but it's inconvenient, I want to paint a picture and send it. Miss Hua is a master of calligraphy and painting, you come to help me palm my eyes and see if the concubine will be happy when she sees it. ”

As he spoke, the scroll was fully unfolded, and the scenery above caught the eyes of many students, and the scene fell silent.

“……？”

Standing behind the wheelchair, Night Terror Hall looked at the 'overgrown picture' on the picture scroll, and to be honest, he was stunned!

After all, he has been crisscrossing the north and south for so many months, and it is the first time he has seen an ink painting that is even sloppy than the 'Hawker Buying Chickens', what is this?

The birds are all neater than this......

The corners of Hua Qingzhi's eyes also twitched, thinking that if this painting was sent, it would make Wang Guifei angry.

She wanted to remind her euphemistically, but Wang Jiwen has a special status, and he will definitely offend people if he loses face, so he hesitated for a long time and didn't know how to speak.

Wang Jiwen glanced at the many classmates who were silent, and seemed to realize his own catties, put the painting away, and said embarrassedly:

"Ordinary Ha...... I've said hello to the concubine, and I'll send the painting over tomorrow, but it's troublesome, huh...... Miss Hua's calligraphy and painting are a must, why don't you help me get one? ”

Hua Qingzhi saw that Wang Jiwen was pressing, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, naturally it was difficult to refuse:

"It's just a trivial matter, I'll take time to go outside the city at noon to have a look, and after the painting is finished, I will send someone to Wang Gongzi to send it over."

"Oh, thank you!"

Wang Jiwen hurriedly thanked him, and after a few polite words, he said goodbye and left.

I don't know why, I always feel that this Wang Da Smart is a little oily, not so unreliable on the surface, after walking for a while, he said in a low voice:

"I'm going to go out of the city too, so I'll send Miss with me at noon."

Hua Qingzhi saw that the Night Terror Hall was going to accompany her to the spring, so she was naturally a hundred willing, and after smiling, she entered Guozijian's schoolhouse......

——

At the same time, the town of Shiliping on the outskirts of the city.

People who walk the rivers and lakes, as long as they are not isolated from the world and never come into contact with anyone, otherwise it is impossible not to leave any traces, even if it is a night terror.

And when the Twelve Institutes, the Prince's Mansion, the Great Family, the Southern Dynasty spy agency, and so on come together to find someone, the lower-level forces that can be driven basically cover everyone from the prince to the anonymous disciples of the Beggar Gang.

Under the pressure of the superiors who 'can't find a head to see', there is nothing to hide from even a chicken, let alone five big living people.

After the Prince's Mansion secretly gave instructions, before dawn, there was actually news in the city.

Because Yanjing is the basic plate of the Northern Liang Imperial Court, the speed is naturally faster than the night terror hall of the away battle, and the first to receive the news was the third prince, but the news was blocked and the net was not closed immediately.

It was morning, the sun had just jumped out of the mountain, the suburbs were red and willow green, and sometimes you could see the big families who went out by car.

In a relatively secluded inn in Shiliping Town, there are some Jianghu people who come and go from south to north sitting in the lobby, and the old shopkeeper is making calculations behind the counter.

In one of the rooms upstairs, there was a freshly bought meal, in which five men sat and ate, and under the table hung a few black snakes, swaying back and forth and spitting snake letters.

The person at the head of the table was an old man over the age of Jiazi, with bald hair and a sallow and pale complexion, who had been in the company of poison all year round, so that the whole person looked slightly gloomy, and he could smell a faint smell of medicine when he got closer.

The old man's name is Huang Ru, and he is nicknamed 'Yellow-tailed Scorpion', he is the boss of the five monsters of Snake Peak, he is good at using poisonous needles, and he has a bit of a fierce reputation in the area of Tianqi Road, and he is whispering at this time:

"The team transporting the stone passes by the official road at noon every day and sends it to the blue water forest twenty miles away. The entourage seems to be all Lifu, but there must be a master hidden inside, snow lake flowers and other things, which should be hidden in the carriage......"

The second child is actually not young, sitting in front of him with a bowl, and said suspiciously:

"Build a garden for the old lady, what do you do with the medicinal materials hidden in the stone?"

Huang Ru was actually at a loss about this.

The 'Five Monsters of Snake Peak' is doing poison trading on weekdays, because the Beiliang River and Lake are as small as a cloud, and the business is quite prosperous.

But since he killed the disciples of Jun Tianfu in order to grab scarce medicinal materials, this line of work obviously can't be done, no matter how good their skills are, no trader on the rivers and lakes dares to sell raw materials to him, and it is still difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Huang Ru needed a lot of money, and he couldn't go into the mountains to dig by himself, so he could only go to Hudong Road to try his luck.

The capital is the core of the four seas trade road, and any medicinal materials can be found, Huang Ru's original intention was to grab a few big pharmacists, and he never thought of the idea of fighting the imperial court.

But when they were squatting on the official road outside the capital, they didn't notice that the medicine merchant was passing by with scarce medicinal materials, but they saw that the stone transported by the imperial court was not quite right.

Huang Ru has played with poison all his life, and has raised a few snakes in his hands to find medicinal materials in the corners where ordinary people can't enter, and every time the team carrying stones passes by, the snakes will react.

Huang Ru didn't understand why the imperial court wanted to bring the medicinal herbs to Bishui Forest, but he knew that the hidden inside was definitely not an ordinary product, and it was likely that there were snow lake flowers that had recently been brought back from Western Xinjiang.

Huang Ru pondered for a while, couldn't figure out the reason, and then said:

"No matter what you do, let's grab it and leave, as long as the body is disposed of, the court won't be able to find me ......for a while."

The four accomplices present obviously disagreed with this, and the second said:

"In the past, we were far away, and our reputation was not very good, so the court didn't bother to care. Now if we commit a crime at the feet of the Son of Heaven and stab a big basket for the National Teacher's Mansion and the Twelve Institutes, the court will not give up, and we will not be able to live unless we flee to the Southern Dynasty. ”

Huang Ru is over sixty years old, and he actually knows what things he can't touch when walking in the rivers and lakes, so he hesitated when he heard this.

The five of them were discussing when Huang Ru's ears suddenly moved slightly, and he turned his head to look next door.

The rest of the people stopped talking at the same time, and listened carefully, but they saw a man and woman talking from the next room not far away:

"I'm lying to you, in order to treat her own young lady, Mrs. Hua got a lot of flowers from the snow lake and came back......"

"The flowers of the Snow Lake Flower can also cure Daddy's Qi and vein injuries?"

"I don't know, but poison is medicine if it is used well, and poison is poison if it is not used well. The medicinal properties of the flower plant are definitely larger than the petals, but they are of the same origin and should be able to heal injuries...... I've inquired about it, Miss Hua's family, I'll go to Xixia Temple today to offer incense, and in order to take medicine on time, I will carry everything with me......"

"Shhhh You tiger, you bewares that the wall has ears......"

……

When Huang Ru heard this, his eyes naturally moved and looked at the four people on the table.

The second child pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "The flower plant of the Snow Lake Flower is the first of all poisons, and it is said that the 'cage miasma' is refined by this thing, and the Ming Dragon Diagram can't be prevented." If we can get a few plants and make them into strange poisons, we can sell them for 10,000 taels of silver......"

The other three also nodded: "The Hua family should be the Hua family of Chengtian Mansion, the old lady Hua has resigned, and now there is no power." Robbing the Chinese family is definitely much less risky than robbing the imperial court......"

"Or we'll ......"

……

Huang Ru also felt that robbing the rich lady was indeed much less risky than robbing the emperor's things, so he hesitated slightly and nodded lightly......

——

It was noon.

Outside the red and willow-green school building, several guards who were waiting to take the young master home stood quietly in a secluded place.

In the school hall where the bamboo curtain is rolled up, more than 30 male and female students sit upright with their backs straight, listening intently; The old master with an elegant temperament, holding a ring ruler in his hand, stood at the front with a smile.

Hua Qingzhi, who had just returned to study in the Southern Dynasties, slid in a wheelchair in the middle of the school building and told her classmates about the experience of going to the south:

"At that time, the queen of the Southern Dynasty came in, and I said: 'When will you leave people?' A few cool blows blow the dream'. I didn't think about the queen, and without thinking about it, I replied, "You Long is here at this moment, and the three coins of Bai Zhi dispell the cold" ......"

"Oh......"

"Good Talent ......"

……

As scholars, the students in the school were obviously very interested in Wen Dou, as if they heard Wu Kui fighting, and sometimes let out a few exclamations.

Night Terror Hall leaned against the pillar with a knife, looking at the scene from afar, and for some reason, there was a strange feeling in the bottom of his heart.

This feels like a gangster who fights and reads countless girls all day long, waiting outside the classroom for his little girlfriend who is excellent in character and learning......

Night Terror noticed that his thoughts were a little off, so he quickly swept away the distractions and began to recall the events of the previous night again.

Last night was good, but the process wasn't too smooth.

After all, Qinghe was playing flower work for the first time, and he was very nervous, and it was okay to start swinging around, but then when he was performing a word horse in Qinghe, he wanted to put the knife into the sheath, and the problem came out.

Qinghe was still obedient, but as soon as he came down, his arm was weak, and then he fell down directly, and sat full.

may be too stimulating, Qinghe instinctively pulled the red ribbon, but as a result, his martial arts were strong, and he directly collapsed the beam of the house with a 'creak~', almost shaking the tiles down; also woke up Hua Qingzhi, who was not far away, and asked Qinghe what was wrong.

Qinghe was embarrassed and unspeakable, and put the pot on the head of the bird who was guarding outside, which dispelled Hua Qingzhi's doubts.

Then the bird was not happy and knocked on the window for half the night......

Da Da Da ......

I still have a lingering voice in my head......

The night terror hall leaned against the pillar, thinking about the mess, and I don't know how long it had been, but there was a noise in the school building, and the students said goodbye to their husband one after another, and prepared to go home.

Seeing this, Night Terror Hall quickly put away his distracting thoughts, and waited until Hua Qingzhi came out of the school house before he stepped forward with Lu Zhu and helped push the wheelchair down the steps, while the other students went back to the dormitory near Guozijian.

Hua Qingzhi talked in the school building for a long time, her mouth was a little dry, she took the water cup handed over by Luzhu and took a sip, before she said softly:

"I just said hello to my master, it's okay in the afternoon, the sunset at Xixia Temple is very beautiful, go back and say hello to my father."

Lu Zhu thought for a while and muttered: "Miss's painting, a pair can be sold for dozens of taels of silver outside, Wang Gongzi won't trick Miss's painting into selling it, right?" ”

Hua Qingzhi frowned and said, "With such a big industry as the Wang family, would you care about dozens of taels of silver?" Don't talk nonsense about these offensive words. ”

"Oh......"

Night Terror Hall pushed the wheelchair behind his back, and there were also close seniors nearby, he didn't interject, and after being sent to the big archway of Guozijian, he carried the wheelchair into the carriage and followed the car back to Wanbaolou.

Because she had to get to the place before dark, it was inconvenient for Hua Qingzhi to get on and off the bus, and she didn't enter the house, but just let Luzhu go in and make a report.

After waiting for a while, they saw Hua Junchen dressed as a scribe and walked out of the house with green beads.

Hua Qingzhi saw this scene at the car window and was slightly puzzled:

"Dad, I'm just going to go out of the city, and I'll be back in the afternoon, what are you going to give?"

Hua Junchen didn't come out to see him off, shook his head and sighed:

"There have been a lot of twists and turns in recent times, it seems that I have committed Tai Sui, and I am familiar with my father and Master Huineng of Xixia Temple, and I went to the temple to burn two incense sticks, and found a master to dispel bad luck......"

“……”

Hua Qingzhi knew that her father had committed Tai Sui, so she stood in front of the carriage, unless the night boy left, it would not be good to invite the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth to do it.

However, Hua Qingzhi was not easy to say these things, so she said:

"Why don't you live in the temple for ten days and a half months? The pure place of Buddhism is good for self-cultivation. ”

"Dad is not a monk, where can he stay in the temple. Let's go, let's go. ”

Hua Junchen turned over and got on his horse, and after letting the carriage go, he walked in front of the Night Terror Hall and asked in a low voice:

"Hua'an, Qingzhi didn't train you last night, right?"

Night Terror Hall shook his head and smiled: "The master is too worried, just telling me to be more sensible in the future." ”

Hua Junchen nodded, and said:

"In the future, you will say to the outside world that it is the son of my friend, you don't need to call me master, just call me uncle. Li Guangxian ran to the door this morning, saying that he was visiting me, but in his heart he actually wanted to carry Lu Xingjun on his back, probe your talent, and see if he could accept an apprentice.

"I slapped him yesterday, and he dared to hide, so I didn't give this apprentice. From now on, if you want to learn martial arts, you can come and ask for advice at any time, as long as you are diligent and studious, and become a grandmaster before the age of thirty, there should not be much of a problem......"

“……”

Although Night Terror didn't know how to complain in his heart, in the face of Uncle Hua's kindness, he still thanked him:

"Uncle Xie appreciates it, and I will definitely study hard in the future."

Hua Junchen raised his hand and patted Night Terror Hall on the shoulder:

"It should. Have you ever read a book? How's the style? ”

"I haven't gone to private school, but when I walked the rivers and lakes, I have been learning."

"After that, I have to study hard, walking in the capital, I can't do it without ink in my stomach. I'll test you with a pair, huh...... Flowers and willows compete for spring. ”

Faced with such a simple exam question, Night Terror Hall didn't pretend to be stupid, thought about it and smiled:

"Will I take the lead?"

"Heh~ It's crazy, I like ......"

……

In the carriage, Hua Qingzhi sat at the window, in fact, she had been eavesdropping on her father's chatting with Night Terror, and when she saw her father laughing, she also pursed her lips and laughed.

But soon, the smile on his face turned into a faint complexity.

After all, the 'Hua'an' in front of him is not a real guard or nephew after all, but the prince of the Southern Dynasty, the first fierce general under the empress, and the prince of the Northwest Royal Court.

Such an identity is destined to stand on the opposite side of Beiliang, and on the day his identity is exposed, the better the relationship between them, the deeper the wound in his heart.

If Daddy really appreciates it and treats Night Terror Hall as a nephew and nephew, I'm afraid he will be lost for several years at that time.

And how could she not be......

Thank you for the reward of the big guy! Thank you for your monthly ticket support or2!
