[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, April 17, Mao Shi, Tsing Yi Wei Zhao Prison, Jiazi No. 12 Cell]

After Qiu Mingli said goodbye to Nangong silently, he walked into the prison and went to visit Xu Ke in person.

Ding Chunqiu, the captain on duty, recognized Qiu Mingli and hurriedly introduced this Shangshu master into cell No. 12 of Jiazi in person.

When Qiu Mingli walked into the cell, it happened that Xu Ke and Mingyue were sitting together and having breakfast together. Qiu Mingli saw that Xu Ke was still accompanied by the former Cuiyunlou head card by his side, and he couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, but he didn't say much.

Mingyue stopped her chopsticks, bowed to Qiu Mingli, and walked out of the cell with a sense of humor, and went straight to her own cell No. 11 to rest.

Ding Chunqiu also bowed out of the cell, closed the door, and guarded from a distance.

Leaving Qiu Mingli and Xu Ke, the master and apprentice sat together. Qiu Mingli raised his eyes and glanced around the cell, and saw that the entire cell had been cleaned and cleaned, and the interior was fully furnished, almost the same as the previous cell No. 11, and he was finally relieved.

Facing a table of delicacies, Qiu Mingli couldn't help but have an appetite, he went out early today, and he didn't have time to eat a bite of breakfast, at this time, he simply went to this edict and used breakfast with Xu Ke.

The two chatted while drinking rice porridge and eating big meat buns.

Qiu Mingli said: "No disease, do you know why the emperor has issued an order to release you from prison, and within only one hour, he suddenly changed his mind and took you from his post and sent you to prison?"

Xu Ke said: "Didn't the emperor say that there is a big demon hidden in my house, and said that I 'colluded with demons privately'?"

Qiu Mingli snorted coldly and asked again:

"Then do you know, who told the emperor that you 'colluded with demons privately'?"

"Who is it?" Xu Keqi said. He thought in his heart, if it is true that there is a big demon hidden in my house, but if it is said that I colluded with the demons in an attempt to abuse the capital, this is really wronged me! Could it be that someone actually told the emperor about this incident?

"What you can't guess, the one who secretly accused the emperor of your crime of 'fornicating with monsters' is the current Eighth Prince, King Jin!"

"King Jin, why does he have trouble with me?"

"No disease, think about it again, have you ever offended King Jin before?"

"I haven't met him except at the time of the court meeting, where does the word 'offense' come from?"

"It seems that the King of Jin has surrendered to the emperor this time, and it is really to deal with His Royal Highness the King of Wei!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei?"

"......" Tyumen nodded.

"Sir, are you saying that the King of Jin took such a great deal of trouble to personally go to the Son of Heaven to falsely accuse me of the crime of 'fornicating with demons', and his intention was just to deal with the King of Wei?"

"That's probably it!" Qiu Mingli drank the last mouthful of rice porridge, nodded again, and said: "I'm afraid, in the heart of this King of Jin, you have become a confidant of His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and he can't move the King of Wei himself for the time being, so he can only take you first!"

"How can this be reasonable!" Xu Ke slapped the table, and the dishes and chopsticks on the table jumped up, and said angrily: "This person caused me to be robbed of office by the Son of Heaven and imprisoned, and I was trapped in this dark prison all day long, and my mansion was confiscated, Sister Hu and Brother Shuxian almost lost their lives at the hands of the officials and soldiers, and their whereabouts are still unknown until now, all of this is just for the party dispute between him and the King of Wei?

"No disease, don't do this!" Qiu Mingli hurriedly persuaded:

"Fairy and scholar brother, the old man has sent his subordinates, and he is looking around for you in the past two days, and as soon as there is news about them, the old man will come to inform you in person. You don't have to worry too much, the Ji people have their own heavenly blessing! Although the old man doesn't know whether the two of them are human or demon, the old man knows that they are all good people! Since they were able to break out of the encirclement of the official army and retreat with their whole body this time, I believe they must have found a safe place to go!"

"In this way, there is Mr. Lao!" Xu Ke thanked Qiu Mingli.

"You stay in the edict prison these days, don't think about anything, you have time to read books, I believe it won't be long before you can come out!"

"The student got it!"

"There is one more thing, do you know that Nangong Qianhu and General Cheng Wanli both ran to the palace yesterday to ask for their guilt, but the emperor did not punish the two of them!"

"Oh......"

"In this way, in the emperor's heart, he doesn't believe you, what kind of demon 'spy' will be!"

"That'...... Why did the emperor let Nangong take people to my mansion to catch demons?"

"This ...... Perhaps, the emperor has the emperor's consideration!"

Qiu Mingli said in his heart, the emperor's intention of this move is about the same as ours, he hopes that you can draw a clear line with those demons from now on, and never associate with each other! However, Qiu Mingli also knows Xu Ke's temper, and knows that if he says this, he will inevitably have a dispute with Xu Ke again, so he simply doesn't say anything.

In fact, as to whether humans should be friends with the demon race, Qiu Mingli himself could not answer the question. His right leg was already disabled for life, but thanks to Hu Yiyi's careful treatment, he was able to return a pair of legs that were as strong as flying. He was already full of gratitude to Hu Yiyi, and this time he heard that Hu Yiyi was actually a thousand-year-old demon, and he was surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized. Regardless of whether Hu Yiyi is a human or a demon, judging by her daily words and deeds, which one is not following etiquette and abiding by the law, and which one is not doing good deeds to help others? Even though she is a big demon, no one can deny that she is still a very good person!

......

The two of them have spoken to this point, and it is almost time to separate. In the official office of the household department of Tyumenli, there were still a large number of official documents waiting for him to go and read. At that moment, Qiu Mingli got up and hurriedly said goodbye to Xu Ke.

However, when Qiu Mingli walked to the door of the cell, he suddenly remembered something, so he asked Xu Kedao:

"No disease, the old man still has to ask you about someone!"

"Who is it?"

"Pei Caibao!"

"Sir, what did Pei Caibao do?"

"The old man wants to ask, why did Pei Caibao risk his life in front of the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials in front of the emperor and civil and military officials?

"This ......" Xu Ke couldn't help but be speechless. He said in his heart, in fact, I can't say clearly, how could Pei Caibao suddenly become a "good person".

"How...... You don't know?"

"Don't hide it, sir, I haven't been able to figure it out to this day! I only remember that on the night of March 30, Pei Caibao suddenly came to my mansion......

So, Xu Ke made a general presentation of the experience of Pei Caibao's late night visit that night, not only offering Xu Ke a plan to save people, but also promising to testify in person in front of the palace.

After hearing this, Qiu Mingli was even more surprised: "This is strange! According to what you said, Pei Caibao came to see you late at night, and it turned out to be to save a female prostitute in Cuiyun Tower? However, what is this Pei Caibao, you and I know very well in our hearts, it is nothing more than a greedy and lustful villain! The old man will never believe it, he does not hesitate to offend the Son of Heaven, and uncover the ugliness of King Han in public, it is really just to save a group of women who have nothing to do with him!"

At this time, Xu Ke really didn't know how to explain. He wanted to say: "This Pei Caibao is probably moved by the truth for Miss Mingyue, he does not hesitate to risk his life, but he also wants to go to Hanyuan Hall to tell the truth, it is estimated that it is out of his true feelings for Mingyue!" However, he also knew that if he said this reason, Mr. Qiu would not believe it. He had to scratch his forehead, frown, and said:

"Who knows, maybe it's this human being who is out of order, right?"

"Hehehe! The old man knows, no wonder, no wonder......" Qiu Mingli spoke, but waved his hand, shook his head again, and ignored Xu Ke anymore, and walked out of the prison door and went to the outside of the prison.

Leaving Xu Ke alone, he was puzzled by Qiu Mingli's expression, he scratched his forehead again, and wondered in his heart, "What's 'strange, strange'...... No wonder this Pei Caibao is out of character?"

Where could he guess what Qiu Mingli was thinking at the moment.

The reason why Qiu Mingli suddenly asked Xu Ke about Pei Caibao was actually to verify a guess in his heart.

It's just because last night, Li Jin's instructions to him were not to let Nangong arrest Pei Caibao silently, let alone to protect Pei Caibao, but to directly solve Pei Caibao secretly, and it was best to dispose of this person's body as well.

Today, when the words came to his lips, Qiu Mingli still couldn't bear it, so he changed his words, just let Nangong be silent and arrest Pei Caibao as soon as possible.

In Qiu Mingli's heart, he secretly doubted that this Pei Caibao had been instructed by the King of Wei, or that he had mastered a certain secret of the King of Wei, so that the King of Wei was finally going to kill him today!

As for what secrets Pei Caibao had mastered of King Wei, Qiu Mingli guessed in his heart that perhaps King Wei was angry that King Han had attacked him, so that even if King Han was dead, King Wei would borrow Pei Caibao's mouth to make King Han leave a behind-the-scenes infamy!

At this moment, after Qiu Mingli and Xu Ke answered, he was even more firm in his guess.

It seems that this master is really a person who is not very broad-minded!

After thinking about this, Qiu Mingli couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, so much so that he secretly shook his head and sighed as he walked out of the edict.

......

......

After Qiu Mingli left, Xu Ke leaned on the small wooden bed in a daze, and began to think about it in his heart.

Naturally, what he was thinking about was the scene when he was in the Divine King Pavilion and crossed into another Jiazi Twelve-Line Life Wheel.

In that wheel of life, between him and Li Ci, the king of Jin, this grievance and hatred is not deep!

In that demonized world, he once saved Li Xi's life in the east market of Chang'an City. If he hadn't shot with his sword, Li Xi would definitely have died under the claws of the "Golden-winged Demon King".

In order to help Li Ci complete the great cause of sweeping away demons and keeping Chang'an, he did not hesitate to risk his life and personally led people to attack the Bashan Demon Nest, and with the help of the power of heaven and earth, he finally swept away the demons and gave the world a clear and clear sky. However, Li Ci took revenge and slandered him as a spy of the demon clan, and even sent him to the edict and sentenced him to Ling Chi!

Later, he heard from Song Jinhua that the reason why Li Ci did this was mostly for Yan'er's sake. Because of this, his Yan'er did not hesitate to marry into Li Xi's palace, just to return safely in exchange for him!

Thinking of this, Xu Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart:

In that wheel of life, he had the grace to save Li Ci's life, but Li Ci wanted to punish him with death, and he had always coveted his woman! Between heaven and earth, is there anyone as unlucky as him?

He was glad that he had finally escaped the unfortunate wheel of life. He thought that he would finally not have to meet such an insidious and treacherous villain again. However, today, he has returned to the eight-line life wheel that belongs to him, and he never thought that he still crashed into Li Xi's hands!

Xu Ke couldn't help but lament in his heart: "Could it be that this Li Ci is born to be my Xu Ke's nemesis? Even if I have never said a word to him in this wheel of life, he will actually put me to death!"

Xu Ke was so cranky that Mingyue walked in at some point, helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and cleaned the room, but he didn't even realize it.

At this time, Mingyue saw that a sad smile kept flashing on Xu Ke's face, and she was curious, so she blurted out and asked:

"Master Xu, what are you thinking?"

Xu Ke saw Mingyue at this time, and he had been cleaning in the cell for a long time, and at that moment, he responded with a smile:

"Don't hide it from Miss Mingyue, at this time, I'm thinking about the 'wheel of life'?"

"What is the wheel of life?"

"The meaning of the 'wheel of life' is that this world has different evolutionary directions, and at every moment, there may be different you, different me, in different time and space, living different lives!"

Mingyue was scrubbing the table, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but put down the rag, opened a pair of beautiful eyes towards Xu Ke, and said with a puzzled face:

"Lord Xu, what are you talking about...... What the hell is this?"

"Haha......" Xu Ke couldn't help laughing when he saw Mingyue's puzzled and innocent expression:

"Miss Mingyue, maybe at this moment, in some other wheel of life, you are lying on the bed, and the person who is scrubbing the table is me Xu Ke!"
