On the twenty-sixth day of the first month of the seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, at the end of the unitary period, Chang'an City, West City.

Hu Yiyi, Xu Ke and Shu Haotian visited Balin Plain together, and when Hu Yiyi was worried, Xu Ke said that the two "Hu girls" he had just rescued were the maids of the Kang family. Hu Yiyi hurriedly ran to the front to look around, but where was there still half of Ah Zhu and Ah Ju? Hu Yiyi was annoyed in her heart, and secretly blamed herself for not intercepting the two girls before. However, at that time, she didn't know it, why did she stop those two girls for no reason?

Seeing that Hu Yiyi was anxious, Xu Ke comforted her: "Sister, don't worry, since you can't find those two girls, don't look for them." Even though God didn't arrange for them to detoxify me, it must be useless to find them......

The two of them walked for a while, and when they saw that it was getting late, Xu Ke was getting tired, so he turned around, found the carriage of Xu's house, and got on the car to go home.

After entering the Kaiyuan Gate, the carriage went all the way to the east, and it didn't take long to reach the vicinity of Liquanfang. Xu Ke saw a market in front of him through the car window, although it was dusk, but the market was still very lively.

Xu Ke suddenly remembered that this was not the famous "West Market" in Chang'an? It was originally near the left side of Liquanfang, and he had always wanted to take Hu Yiyi to go shopping, but because the blue wave fairy had always been happy and quiet, he did not want to go to the noisy place, so he had not been able to make the trip. Now it's better to hurry up early, since it's in Xishikou, why not go and see a lively one together?

After Xu Ke and Hu Yiyi made it clear, Hu Yiyi naturally agreed with a smile. At that moment, Hu Yiyi carried the cage and accompanied Xu Ke again, and the two of them entered the West Market again and wandered around at will......

The West City and the East City are both famous places for business travel in Chang'an City. Compared with the East Market, the West Market is slightly smaller, but the variety of goods is more strange. Most of the traders here come from the Western Regions, as well as the Xiao Kingdom, the Chu State, and even the more distant Sang Kingdom. Xu Ke and Hu Yiyi walked happily, only to feel that they were full of strange things, and those dazzling treasures would attract them to stop and linger from time to time......

"Little brother...... Stay!" A middle-aged man's voice came from behind him, Xu Ke couldn't help but stop, but saw a personable young man walking beside him.

I saw him, seven feet long, majestic appearance, handsome, extraordinary elegance, chic appearance, radiant and heroic, face like a crown of jade, nose like hanging gall, lips like grease, teeth like beads, a pair of black pupils as quiet as autumn water, two sword eyebrows obliquely inserted into the sky, the figure falls, bright like a jade tree in front of the wind, the air is lofty, towering like a green pine on the top of the mountain.

Xu Ke was not surprised when he saw this beautiful man who looked like Pan An and looked like Song Yu standing in front of him, so he asked, "?......What is this brother?"

"Oh...... My name is Li Yi. What do you call ...... little brother?" Li Yidao. His eyes were as quiet as autumn water, and there seemed to be a slight smile at this time, but under a closer look, there was a faint majesty.

"Under the surname Xu, the name Ke, the cursive character is not sick, this year is twenty-one, dare to ask Brother Li Guigeng this year?" Xu Ke bowed slightly to Li Yi, and then asked.

Xu Ke saw that Li Yi's appearance was very young, and guessed that he was no more than thirty years old, but listening to his voice, he was thick and calm, as if he was already a middle-aged man in his forties. Xu Ke looked at his sideburns like a knife again, but saw that there were several frosty white hairs in his sideburns. It's hard to guess his age with such a appearance, so Xu Ke asked him casually.

"Hey, it's a name and a word...... I'll call you little brother. As for my age...... Hey...... It's just that it's just a little older than you......" Li Yi touched his chin, and his expression turned a little embarrassed. This scene was seen by Hu Yiyi next to her, and even she couldn't help but hide her face and sneer.

I have never heard that women in the world are secretive about their age, but it is rare for him Li Yi, a man, to hide his age like this......

Xu Ke saw that Li Yi refused to reveal his age, so he was naturally not reluctant, so he asked again: "Brother Li, is there something wrong with calling each other in the right way?"

Li Yi hurriedly said: "I almost forgot about this...... Little brother, where did you come from, this rat cage?"

This time it was Xu Ke's turn to be ashamed, he touched his forehead, and said, "Eh...... Speaking of this wire cage, it is not the little brother's thing. It's just that the owner of the cage doesn't know where he is...... Younger brother...... My little brother is looking for her......"

Li Yidao: "The white rat in your cage looks quite cute." Well, the little brother will make a bid and sell me this cage, okay?"

Xu Ke hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This is not good! You can take the cage, the big mouse in it, the little brother can never give it away......

Li Yi smiled: "Is this true?"

Xu Ke said: "Of course it's true! It's just that to tell Brother Li the truth, don't look at this ordinary wire cage, if you want to open it, it's really difficult! Little brother has been thinking about it for so long, and he wants to open this cage in his dreams and release the white rats inside......

Li Yi waved his hand and said, "What's so difficult about this......!

Hu Yiyi handed over the wire cage holding Shu Hatian to Li Yi's hands. I saw Li Yi dragging the iron cage with his right palm, and after a moment of scrutiny, his left hand stretched out his finger and slowly crossed the side of the iron cage, and said in his mouth: "The beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the mother of all things, all things in heaven and earth, nothing is existence, and existence is nothing...... Open!" the iron cage under his finger opened in response.

Shu Hatian in this cage suddenly opened his eyes,

He hurriedly jumped back and jumped out of the cage with a "whoosh". Xu Ke hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it and held the big mouse in his arms. The two glanced at each other, and they all laughed heartily, but Shu Haotian was only a little bit of a rat at this time, and in this busy city, especially a high-ranking person on the side, he didn't dare to make a human voice at will.

Li Yi closed the cage door again, clamped both sides with both hands up and down, and squeezed hard, and the cage became half smaller. He clamped the left and right sides and squeezed them together, and the cage became smaller again...... If this is the case, everyone saw that a wire cage that was originally four feet square had become the size of a grape in Li Yi's palm at this moment. Li Yi casually put the small cage into his pocket, pointed to the cage and said with a smile:

"I've been looking for you for a long time, but I didn't expect to bump into you in this West Market, see where you are still fleeing!"

"Brother Li, it turns out that you are the owner of this cage!" Xu Ke stepped forward and said.

"Not really, it's just that the owner of this cage is one of my ...... Pal. I saw that she lost the cage, and I was depressed, I wanted to buy a fun thing for her in the West Market, but I didn't expect that this cage would take the initiative to come to the door...... Hahaha!" Li Yi also laughed heartily.

"Thank you, Brother Li, for my book...... My rats are open!" Xu Ke stepped forward and saluted Li Yishi. He wanted to say "for my book fairy brother", but he quickly changed his words. He saw that Li Yi was reciting mantras and moving his fingers, thinking that he must also be a master of Taoism, and it is better to have more things than less, and the old brother of the book fairy has just come out of the cage, so don't be caught by him again.

"It's nothing, it's just a spell, it's just a gesture! little brother...... Let's talk first, I'll open the cage and release the rats, and you return my cage. Now, since we don't owe each other, let's say goodbye!" Li Yi just finished speaking, turned his head and left......

"Brother Li go slowly, Brother Li ......" Xu Ke was still about to talk to Li Yi, but saw that Li Yi's tall body had strode away...... He looked at Li Yi's back, he couldn't help but be stunned, from the first moment he saw Li Yi, he always felt familiar with this person, and it was only at this time that he suddenly remembered: "It turned out to be ...... Him!"

Xu Ke slapped his forehead, turned to Hu Yiyi and said: "Sister Hu, I remember, I have seen this person, it was the first time I entered Tsing Yi Wei, when Ding Chunqiu led me inside, and I bumped into him head-on......"

Li Yi, whom Xu Ke saw in Tsing Yi Wei at that time, was dressed in brocade clothes, completely looking like a prince and grandson. The Li Yi I saw today was just wearing a square scarf, a crane, a cloud on his feet, and a silk silk around his waist, all dressed as a literati from top to bottom. If you don't pay attention to it, you just think of it as a poor and sour talent, and you are just a poor and sour person. It was because Xu Ke saw it at first glance, and he didn't think about it at all.

"Tsing Yi Wei, he is also from Tsing Yi Wei?" Hu Yiyi asked.

"He wasn't from Tsing Yiwei, I listened to the people next to me talk about what he was...... King Zhao?" Xu Ke replied.

"King Zhao, God King Pavilion Master, is it him?" Hu Yiyi couldn't help but wonder.

"It doesn't seem right...... Looking at his age, at most twenty-seven or eighteen, if he is the king of Zhao, he should be ranked before the king of Wei. Now, the King of Wei is in his forties, how can he be so young? Could it be that he is the heir of the King of Zhao?" Xu Ke replied. But then he felt that Prince Zhao's heir didn't seem to make sense.

"Oh! Don't care about him Zhao Wang Li Wang! Let's go back quickly, my Yuan Shen has been suffocated in the skin of this white mouse for a month, and it almost suffocates me......" At this time, Shu Haotian, who was still lying in Xu Ke's arms, said anxiously.

Only then did the two of them come back to their senses, and they didn't think much about it anymore, so they hurriedly returned to the carriage and turned around and went home......

The two of them returned to the center of the hazel, Xu Ke held the mouse in his arms, touched the rat's head, and stroked the snow-white hair of the rat, and said with a smile: "I said Brother Shuxian, you are still unchanging at this time? Are you addicted to lying in the arms of no disease?"

In Xu Ke's arms, the big mouse turned over lazily, and said lazily: "Disease-free little brother, the old brother never knew that lying in your arms was such a pleasure...... No wonder those girls are so confused by you, even I, an old man, are reluctant to leave your gentle country...... Someday let my old sister enjoy it too...... No, my old sister was in Yunzhou Mansion that day, but she had already enjoyed it, no wonder ......"

"I want you to talk more!" Hu Yiyi next to him suddenly became angry, and reached out to twist Shu Hattian's ears, so frightened that Shu Hattian hurriedly jumped...... When he landed, the Yuan Shen agitated, and his heart realized that he was a fat and big white mouse just now, and suddenly he turned into a white-bearded old man with short body and short hands, thin eyes and long hair.

"Brother Shuxian, you're back!" Xu Ke hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Shu Haotian tightly. At this time, he was inexplicably happy in his heart, all the pain and fatigue and weakness in his body before seemed to be less severe, and even he had forgotten that he was still a poisoned person.

The copper kettle is dripping, the sound is not stopped, time is like a rushing river, once it goes, it can not be returned, it is already the time of the day, and Chang'an City has fallen into the darkness of the night.

Counting up, there is only one day left before Xu Ke dies of poisoning.

......

Almost at the same time, on the Moyun Pavilion in the Tsuen Lake of the Chu King's Mansion, there were three people sitting at this time, the king of Chu was sitting facing east, and the other two were Qin Jianxun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Xiao Yihong, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"Your Highness, no longer hesitate!

Now that Sun Xun has been arrested, no one can stand the torture in the Tsing Yi Guard! Although Sun Xun did not open his mouth at this time, sooner or later he will confess to His Royal Highness, and by then, it will be too late!" It was Xiao Yihong who said this, he got up from the stool, and said with an urgent expression as he walked around the attic.

Sun Xun ...... But a tough guy!" Li Zhi sighed and said.

"Your Highness, no matter how tough a person is, when he encounters those torture instruments in the Tsing Yi Guard, no one can resist to the end...... Unless ......" Qin Jianxun also stood up and said with a worried expression.

"Unless what?" asked Li Zhi.

"Unless, as His Highness said, the best way to let a person keep a secret is to make him never open his mouth!" Qin Jianxun replied in a deep voice.

Right now, Sun Xun is locked up in Tsing Yiwei's edict. What kind of place is that edict prison?! It is heavily defended, and the masters are like clouds, and it is difficult for you to fly into it even if you insert your wings, and you want to go to the edict prison to kill someone...... Impossible!" Xiao Yihong said.

"Is there any other way, like...... Buy the people inside?" asked Li Zhi.

Qin Jianxun said: "It's almost impossible, Your Highness......! can buy Shen Huan and let him listen to us, but His Royal Highness should know very well that in this world, there is probably only one person who can make Shen Huan obedient, and that is the emperor!"

"Is there really no other way?" Li Zhi asked again, still hesitant in his heart......

"There really is no other way to think of it, Your Highness! If there really is any other way, we will not sit here and think about it at this time...... Time waits for no one, Your Highness! If you delay for a moment, you will be at risk for a moment! Right now, Sun Xun is in the edict prison, and dozens of methods in the Tsing Yi guard are passing on him in the same way...... If he can't stand it, he may confess at any time!" Xiao Yihong said with an even more urgent expression.

Qin Jianxun also said: "What Lord Xiao said is reasonable, according to the report of my subordinates, now around the Chu Palace, Tsing Yiwei's spies have been discovered, and they must be the eyeliner arranged by his Shen Huan." This shows that the emperor is already suspicious of His Highness! If we can't strike first, I'm afraid we will all suffer sooner or later!"

Xiao Yihong said again: "Your Highness, think about the fate of the abolished prince Li Ren!" He, Li Renke, has always been a cautious person, just because he had a drink with Li Junxian and said a few more words at the banquet...... Your Royal Highness, forgive me Xiao Yihong for daring to say a word of killing, His Royal Highness regards the emperor as his father, but the emperor ...... He may no longer regard His Highness as a son...... Li Ren can at least go to Luzhou Mansion to be a Li member, but Your Highness, once Sun Xun confesses, it will be a felony of 'assassinating Qincha and murdering his siblings'!

Li Zhi sighed again, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Ahem, let's go, I'll listen to you...... But what are our chances of winning?"

Qin Jianxun said: "There are 120,000 horses stationed in the Jingyang camp, 40,000 horses in the martial arts cavalry battalion, plus 20,000 Shenwu troops in the south of the city, and we have 180,000 troops. The eight guards of the forbidden army in Chang'an City, although they fought bravely, but after all, there were only 80,000 people, and with the Tsing Yi guards, the total was less than 100,000. With 180,000 against 100,000, our side has at least an eighty percent chance of winning!"

Li Zhi said: "Shenwu General Qu Huaifeng, you are sure ?......"

Qin Jianxun hesitated: "This person used to serve in the army, and he has always been nameless, but I promoted him all the way to get to where he is today." This time, even if he refuses to obey me, at most the two will not help each other, then we will be 160,000 against 100,000!"

Xiao Yihong swore again: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much, now, the emperor is seriously ill, and the entire Chang'an City is panicked...... If we suddenly attack, we will definitely be able to kill him Cheng Wanli by surprise! What's more, the men and horses in our hands will far surpass him. When our people control the entire capital, when the time comes, His Royal Highness will let the emperor issue a Zen edict, and His Royal Highness can respect the emperor as the emperor. At that time, His Highness has already ascended to the Great Treasure, and if anyone opposes it, His Highness only needs a holy decree to justifiably kill him!"

Li Zhi asked again: "Speaking of this forbidden army chief...... Cheng Wanli, is it really impossible to solicit?"

Qin Jianxun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "By all means, Your Highness, Cheng Wanli is loyal to the emperor, this person is by no means a person who can be recruited at will!

Xiao Yihong said even more anxiously: "Your Highness! If you keep interrupting, you will suffer from the chaos! At this time, if we delay a little more, it will be a little more dangerous, while the two military camps outside Chang'an City are still in our hands, Your Highness, hurry up and make up your mind!"

At this point, Li Zhi had no choice but to wave his hand and said weakly: "Okay! Life and death depend on life and wealth, and my Li Zhi's life will be handed over to the two of you today......

When Xiao Yihong and Qin Jianxun heard Li Zhi's words, they were immediately overjoyed, and the two bowed their heads and eagerly walked towards His Excellency Mo Yun......

Xiao Yihong and Qin Jianxun walked down the attic and walked to the pontoon bridge, the two of them strode forward, only to feel that there were countless glory and wealth beckoning to them in front of them, and suddenly, they heard Moyun Pavilion again, Li Zhi shouted loudly to them: "You guys...... Come back, come back to me!"
