Taihao didn't know why Wanhua wanted to see him in prison, but he knew very well in his heart that of course Wanhua would not want to see him for no reason, he must have something to explain to himself, so he decided to go to the prison to meet Wanhua.

At that moment, Taihao and Ju Yu followed Qu Quan to the city prison. The prison was extremely cold, and the air was filled with the smell of erosion and corrosion, and Wanhua was imprisoned in the innermost cell. Taihao walked to Wanhua's cell, only to see Wanhua wearing prison uniforms, handcuffs and shackles, completely different from before he was imprisoned. Seeing that Taihao was coming, Wanhua hurriedly walked to the cell door, and the chains made a clanging sound. Wanhua said: "Lord Taihao, Lord Taihao, you must save my children!" ”

With that, he knelt down, clutched the iron bars of the cell door with both hands, and began to cry with his head low. At this time, he had lost his former calm, and his face was full of despair and sadness. Seeing this scene, Tai Hao's heart moved, and he immediately asked with doubts: "What does General Wanhua mean by this, what's wrong with your children?" How can I save your children? ”

Wan Hua cried bitterly and said, "Lord Taihao, the 'four little ghosts' told me that only you can save my child......"

After speaking, tears welled up again. Looking at the pitiful man in front of him, Taihao suddenly felt a heartache in his heart. He looked at Qu Quancheng Lord, then at General Wanhua, and asked thoughtfully: "You said that the 'four little ghosts' told you that I could save your child, but how could the 'four little ghosts' know me, and when did they tell you that I can save your child?" ”

Wanhua was grief-stricken and said: "Just now...... one of the 'ghosts' in the 'Four Little Ghosts' came here and told me that only the man in the white official uniform in the cat temple today can save my child, and the man in the white official uniform is only you, you must save my child, Lord Taihao......"

Taihao listened, and looked at the city lord Qu in confusion, and the color of the official uniform worn by the city lord Qu was black. He continued to ask Wan Hua, "You said that Ghost Ye came to the prison to look for you, so how did he get in?" This prison is so heavily guarded that it's hard for a fly to fly in! ”

Qu Quan was shocked when he heard Wanhua's words, and asked the soldiers in the prison to hurriedly check everywhere to see if the ghost leaf had run away and whether it was still hiding in a corner. But the search was fruitless, and the ghost leaf should have escaped a long time ago.

Wanhua said: "I don't know how he came in, a ghost came in a flash, after saying those words, another ghost disappeared, I Wanhua deserved it, but my child wants to live, Lord Taihao, save my child......"

Taihao felt very inexplicable in his heart, and thought: "I don't know the 'four little ghosts', why do you want to tell General Wanhua that I can save his child?" Do you want me to hand over the old man to them, and they will hand over General Wanhua's child? ”

Tai Hao asked: "I don't know how many children the 'four little ghosts' have captured General Wanhua?" ”

Wanhua replied: "My two children, a son and a daughter. ”

Taihao nodded slightly and said, "If I can see them, I will definitely save them." After speaking, Taihao was ready to leave with Xuanyu.

Wanhua suddenly knelt down, tears rained down, and said, "Lord Taihao must save them......"

Taihao didn't look back, and walked directly towards the door of the cell.

Wanhua shouted loudly: "One of them is called Wancai, and the other is called Maoru, you must save them, save them......"

Taihao walked out of the prison door, his eyes were a little moist, but his heart was still full of doubts, he didn't know how to save Wanhua's child. If he had to hand over the old man, he would never be able to do it.

Outside the prison, the city lord Qu Quancheng loudly told all the soldiers in the prison: "Take care of the prison door, guard the inside, don't come in again." ”

Qu Quan and Tai Hao were talking while walking, and Qu Quan asked, "When will Lord Tai Hao leave for Pinghe City?" ”

Tai Hao said: "We will leave tomorrow." ”

Qu Quandao: "It just so happens that our Fengling City now has no general to defend the city, or Lord Hao won't go to Pinghe City, why don't you stay in Fengling City and be the general of the city?" If I can, I will immediately write a letter to explain the truth to the emperor, what do you think? ”

"Lord Xie Ququan appreciates it, but I don't think the emperor will agree to it, because I have a task for this trip to Pinghe City." Tai Hao said with a smile: "Lord Qu Quan, let's go back to the inn first, if there is anything, you can let the official go to the Lingxi Inn to find me, and I will be on call!" ”

Tai Hao and Qi Yu were about to go back to the inn, and passed by the wine shop, Tai Hao said to Ji Yu: "I don't know if the two of them have gone back, let's go in and have a look......

With that, he walked inside. When I entered the sake shop, I found that Onishi and Furusheng were still drinking there. So, Taihao and Jiayu sat down on the wine table again, and the four of them continued to drink. Drink until the sun sinks, they are already full of wine and food, and then left the wine shop, Tai Hao saw that there was an old man next to the wine shop who was selling zongzi, Tai Hao thought of telling Nian Yu to bring him delicious food when he went out, so he bought a few zongzi, let Daxi take it, and then went back to the inn. When he returned to the inn and went to his room, he found that the old man was lying on the bed and had not woken up, only the dumb man was asleep on his stomach next to the bed, and Nian Yu did not know where he went.

Taihao saw that Nian Yu was not in the room, he put the zongzi on the table, and was just about to go out to find Nian Yu, but he heard a "cough cough...... cough-cough", he saw the old man wake up. Taihao hurriedly walked to the bed and said, "Senior, you finally woke up......

The old man looked very weak, and because of the silver needle on his forehead, his head couldn't move, and he whispered, "Ahem...... I'm ...... Ahem...... Where is it? ”

Taihao said: "Don't worry, senior, this is an inn, you have been in a coma for a long time......"

The old man caught a glimpse of the dumb man lying on the side of the bed, and he immediately shook the dumb man awake. After the dumb man woke up, he saw that the master had woken up, and hurriedly pulled out the silver needle from his master's forehead, and as soon as the silver needle was pulled, the old man immediately sat up and meditated there. After about half an hour, the old man finished meditating. He sighed deeply and said to Dumb Shan: "Dumb Shan, where is Nian Yu?" Go and call her. Dumb Shan nodded, and immediately went out to find Nian Yu.

Taihao thought to himself: "Why don't you take advantage of the fact that you want to worship him as a teacher now, but what should I say?" Taihao thought about it, picked up a zongzi, and asked the old man, "Senior, do you want to eat a zongzi first?" ”

"Thank you, I can't eat yet." After the old man pulled out the silver needle from his forehead, he stopped coughing when he spoke, and then said: "Today in the Cat Temple, I want to thank you, when we were fighting with the 'Four Little Ghosts', I saw that you asked those guards, retinues, and warrior monks to help us. ”

Tai Hao moved a stool, sat on the edge of the bed, and said, "You're welcome, senior, your martial arts are so high, can I ...... Worship you as a teacher and follow you to learn martial arts? ”

When the old man heard Tai Hao say this, he was puzzled and said, "Why do you want to learn martial arts from me?" By the way, what is your official position in Fengling City? ”

Tai Hao said: "It's not a secret, I'm not from Fengling City, I'm just passing through Fengling City, I'm going to Pinghe City to take up the post of deputy general of the city." ”

The old man nodded slightly, and asked with some confusion: "Since you are just passing by, then you ...... Why is there a case here? ”

Tai Hao smiled: "I'm just a little curious, this city says that the cat god statue can speak, I just want to know the result, I didn't expect to meet the old-timer......"

The old man looked at Tai Hao carefully and said, "Looking at your appearance, it looks very similar to an old acquaintance of mine." ”

Tai Hao smiled: "Really, who do I look like?" ”

The old man said in his low, hoarse voice, "She is a woman, and she is ...... in Shizhu City, which is far away from here."

Tai Hao hurriedly interrupted him and said, "I'm from Shizhu City, what's the name of your old acquaintance?" See if I recognize it. ”

The old man sighed softly and said, "That was many years ago, and now I don't know if she is still alive, her name is Ah Yue." ”

Tai Hao said, "Can you tell me your story?" ”

The old man smiled at him and said, "You want to hear it?" Tai Hao nodded repeatedly, and the old man continued, "Then I'll tell you our story...... I can't remember how many years ago, when I was very young, my third junior brother and I fought with the bandit Lu Erchi in the Western Regions, until we reached the vast desert, after killing Lu Erchi, we didn't know how to get out of the desert, and then I don't know how long we walked, we came to the place in Shizhu City, because we didn't eat or drink for several days, we fainted on the street of Shizhu City. Later, it was Ah Yue who rescued us, and we recuperated in Shizhu City for a long time. Later, Ah Yue and I became a couple, we made a private contract for life, and even the name of the future child was chosen, if there is a son, it will be called Yuanying, and if there is a daughter, it will be called Yueying. However, later the master asked the second junior brother to find us and let me go back with the third junior brother, and since then, I have never seen Ah Yue again......"

Tai Hao listened attentively, and when he saw that the old man had finished speaking, Tai Hao said: "You said that you named your future son Yuan Ying, and the future daughter named Yue Ying, and my aunt's name is also Yue Ying." ”

The old man's eyes widened in surprise and asked, "Your grandmother's name is Yueying, so is your grandmother's name Yue?" ”

Tai Hao said: "I don't know if my grandmother's name is Ah Yue, I haven't seen my grandmother since I was born, my grandmother told me that my grandmother is a woman with dreams, she has participated in the Eastern Empire selection exam, just to complete her dream, but my grandmother has never told me her dream." ”
