In the prison, the firelight reflected the two figures on the wall, which seemed dim and silent.

"Who are you?" Bai Yao'er was the first to break the silence and asked.

Her sword was always hanging at her side, and if the old man moved, it would stab with her.

She didn't dare to be careless, because it had been a long time since her martial arts had reached a bottleneck, and nothing had been able to approach her so silently.

But the old man didn't seem to have the slightest intention of making a move, he just smiled and said with his hands behind his back.

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that Li Si has left the prison, ten years ago. Little girl, even if you don't ask about the world, before you come to save people, you should inquire about the rivers and lakes first, right?"

Although there is indeed very little news about Li Si on the rivers and lakes now.

Bai Yao'er didn't speak, just looked at the old man quietly, she wasn't sure if what he said was true.

Probably seeing Bai Yao'er's doubts, the old man continued to smile and shook his head.

"These things, Yan Zhutou, who was knocked out by you just now, also knows, you can wait for him to wake up and ask him yourself. That's all the old man said, and after that, the girl, please. ”

As he spoke, the old man walked past Bai Yao'er and disappeared into the aisle of the prison.

Bai Yao'er looked at the deeper heavenly prison and was silent for a while, and then what decision should be made, silently put away his sword, and turned to leave.

The old man who had left walked straight towards the depths of the palace.

In fact, he didn't want to do anything with Bai Yao'er, in addition to being unnecessary, there was another reason, that is, he had a feeling that he might not be able to take Bai Yao'er. Even if the two of them started to do it, it was likely to get out of control and completely disrupt the prison, so he gave up his plan to send Bai Yao'er away.

He hadn't felt this way for a long time, and it was hard to imagine that such a young girl could make him jealous.

Where did she come from such a deep internal force, the old man frowned slightly and thought, didn't she meet the world's chances?

What the old man didn't expect was that when he thought about it casually, it was really the way Bai Yao'er walked to where he is now.

In the past ten years, Bai Yao'er has been walking with her father in the deep mountains and valleys of various places, going to a total of 11 secret realms of martial arts, reading 27 lost secret books, eating 55 kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, and encountering 98 kinds of opportunities in the world.

It can be said that Bai Yao'er's father gave Bai Yao'er everything that could be given to Bai Yao'er.

But all this is not so good, she has experienced the pain of cultivating her heart in the cold pool, and she has also experienced the burning pain of quenching her body in the fire pool. Every time the heaven and earth treasure is eaten, in addition to being able to make her reborn, it is often accompanied by unbearable torture for ordinary people.

Because of this, Bai Yao'er's heart is much calmer than before, which is why she listened to the old man's opinion and left the prison first.

She is no longer the girl who didn't know the world back then, she is a little less coquettish and pretentious, a little more capable, knows how to judge the situation, and knows how to be restrained.

She understands that it is not good if she has done many things, since the old man is kind to persuade her, then she has the right to believe him once first, and wait until tomorrow to ask Yan Tingzhi.

When the old man returned to the inner hall of the palace, Li Shizong was sitting at the desk dealing with official business, and he should have noticed that the old man walked in, Li Shizong smiled and asked.

"How's the matter going in the prison?"

"Back to Your Majesty. The old man bowed slightly and said, "I have already let the girl leave, but Your Majesty, don't you really need to punish you a little, in this way, I am afraid that the people of the rivers and lakes will think that our palace is a place where you can come and go at will." ”

"No need. Li Shizong waved his hand, still with a smile on his face, looked at the old man and said.

"Governing the world requires generosity. ”

And he has this bearing.

When the bundle is tight, when the width is loose, there are only a handful of people in the world who can come and go in the palace with martial arts, and there are not many people who have this idle mind, as long as there is no big mess, he will not see it.

The balance between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court has never been so easy to grasp.

"You should suppress the news of this matter first. Li Shizong looked at the old man and ordered.

"Especially don't let Chang'an know, Li Si, this thief has a lot of romantic accounts······"

Saying this, Li Shizong's eyes narrowed, and there was a rare bit of anger in his tone.

He really didn't know what was good about this thief, but he called Chang'an to take a fancy to him, and he made trouble for himself all day long.

He can suppress this matter first and not let Chang'an know, but if he knows what Li Si has done to be sorry for Chang'an.

Hmph, then don't blame him for turning his face and not recognizing people.

······

When it was dawn the morning of the second day, Yan Tingzhi woke up in his room, his neck was still hurting, and his head was still faint.

Sitting up from the bed with his hand on his body, Yan Tingzhi shook his head.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from his side.

"Yan Zhutou, you're awake. ”

This voice was very familiar to him, after all, he had just heard it yesterday, it was Bai Yao'er's voice.

Thinking that he was knocked unconscious by the other party yesterday, Yan Tingzhi hurriedly held the knife placed beside him.

"Don't be nervous. At this time, Bai Yao'er was sitting at the table in the room, looking at Yan Tingzhi and saying.

"You are now in your own house, and I brought you back. ”

In the past, Bai Yao'er also lived in Yan Tingzhi's mansion for a few days, so she still roughly remembered a seat, and she brought Yan Tingzhi back in a twist and turn.

"You didn't rob the prison?" Yan Tingzhi held his forehead and looked at Bai Yao'er and asked.

"Li Si is not there, what am I robbing?" Bai Yao'er looked at him calmly and asked rhetorically.

Yan Tingzhi should not have fully woken up yet, listening to Bai Yao'er's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded heavily, and said to himself.

"Also, Li Si is not there. ”

Looking at Yan Tingzhi's reaction, Bai Yao'er believed the old man's words yesterday, and it seemed that Li Si had really left the prison.

Then why hasn't he come to him, hmph, the guy who doesn't talk much.

Bai Yao'er snorted lightly in her heart, silently made a note for Li Si, and then continued to ask Yan Tingzhi.

"And where is he now?"

raised his head and glanced at Bai Yao'er, and then, Yan Tingzhi let out a long sigh, put down the knife in his hand, and lay down on the bed and said.

"It's been a long story. ”

Indeed, ten years is already a long, long story.
