Kyoto, Hyakanai Lane.

It is said to be an alley, but it is one of the busiest areas in Kyoto.

There are many shops on both sides of the road, and the cold and dazzling sunlight shines on the red bricks and green tiles or the brightly colored pavilion cornices, adding a special brilliance to the prosperous Baihuajing Lane in front of you.

The passers-by walking in the alley, or sophisticated, or longing, or elegant, or indifferent, the carriages and horses are sparkling, the flow of people is like weaving, mixed with the shouts of some shops, and occasionally there is a long neighing of horses, full of Cheng Bai has been extremely familiar, but still yearning for the incomparable fireworks.

In the past, Chengbai's favorite place to go was the Listening Rain Pavilion in Baihuajing Lane.

But because of this, when he returned to Kyoto this time, Cheng Bai didn't dare to step into Tingyu Pavilion for half a step, because the boss was too familiar with him.

I heard that the boss of Yuge was good, so Cheng Bai didn't want to test the other party's humanity.

But fortunately, in the eyes of the imperial court, there doesn't seem to be a little person like him at all, or rather, there is no one of them in the eyes of the imperial court, except for Zuo Qianhu.

Whether it is Montenosan Prefecture or Kyoto, there is only one wanted warrant for Zuo Qianhe.

Therefore, Chengbai only needs to avoid acquaintances as much as possible, and it is safe in Kyoto.

Not far from the Tingyu Pavilion, in Donglai Ju, Cheng Bai and the three of them were sitting near the window, drinking wine and tea while observing the situation outside.

There are many people and eyes during the day, which is very unfavorable to the action, so the three of them set the time for action at the time of the child.

It stands to reason that before any action, the safest thing to do is to explore the way and find out the enemy's situation, but Chengbai did not do this.

Years of living in Kyoto have made him fully aware of the situation outside the prison, and the time he has been away from here adds up to less than half a month, what can he do?

And as far as Cheng Bai knows, after Ning Caichen escaped from the heavenly prison, he went from the cell head to the imperial court, and he didn't react to this at all.

For them, this situation is just a very rare and accidental phenomenon, maybe after Ning Caichen escaped at that time, the head of the prison was afraid of taking responsibility, so he did not report the matter at all.

Downstairs in Donglaiju, another guest who ate the overlord's meal was beaten half to death and thrown on the road.

Although Baihuajing Lane is prosperous, the people at the bottom are still the most difficult existence.

Fu Yuechi looked at the man on the street outside the window with sympathy, only to see that his clothes were torn and his head was bleeding, and he looked very pitiful.

Seeing this, Cheng Bai immediately smiled and said: "You don't have to pity him at all, he is a well-known scoundrel on this street, and there are not a hundred shops that he has eaten for nothing, but I am afraid there are dozens." ”

Sure enough, not long after Cheng Bai finished speaking, the person who was lying on the ground sighing and sighing, saw that no one took care of him, so he stood up directly, patted the dirt on his body, scolded a few words, and then left.

Fu Yuechi looked at such an obvious change in the other party's front and back, and suddenly felt that the three views had been refreshed.

How can people be so shameless?

However, when he thought of the gang of cannibalistic bandits they encountered on the way to Kyoto, Fu Yuechi was also relieved.

Seeing his still familiar face, Cheng Bai suddenly became interested.

"Yuechi, do you see the man squatting in the corner? guess what he does?"

Cheng Bai pointed to the direction under the window and said mysteriously.

Fu Yuechi looked and found that the other party was hiding in a corner with dull eyes and dirty bodies, muttering non-stop, as if he was muttering something.

"What are you doing......?"

Fu Yuechi tapped his chin with his fingers, thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "Beggar!"

"Well, it's not. ”

"What's that?"

The corners of Cheng Bai's mouth curled slightly: "Scholar." ”

"Scholar?"

Fu Yuechi was even more puzzled now, according to her impression of the scholar, the scholar should be the most important to her image, but that person was not only dirty, but also didn't care about the stench of the garbage next to him, how could he be a scholar?

"Yes, he is indeed a scholar. It's just that although he is dedicated to studying, he has not been a child for ten years, and after failing the government examination two years ago, he went crazy. ”

Cheng Bai sighed and continued: "At first, their family was still in charge, but as soon as he went crazy, it was really powerful, so after a long time, his wife and children all returned to his parents' house, and as soon as his parents died, no one cared about him at all." ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Bai changed his head and said: "But it's strange to say, although he is crazy, he has been living well in the past two years, which is also a miracle." ”

"Even if he can't pass the Tongsheng exam, he still does something to support himself, why is he crazy?"

Fu Yuechi was born in a family of eunuchs, although he was full of books, but he didn't know much about this kind of thing.

As for Cheng Bai, as long as Fu Yuechi asks questions, I'm afraid he won't fail to answer.

"He is useless to be a scholar, but as long as he reads, who does not have arrogance? He is so devoted to his career that he looks down on those ninth-rate professions in his eyes, so even if he starves to death, he has never thought of joining them. Besides, even if he is willing to do it, it is estimated that no one will use him, he has studied all his life, and he has no power to tie the chicken, so what is the use?"

"It's pathetic. ”

Fu Yuechi didn't expect that there would be such a story by a random person on the road, and he suddenly became interested.

"What about that person?"

"He's a shaver, he's known here for his good craft, and I've asked him to shave my head before. ”

"What about this man?"

"He's just a thief, and he's idle on weekdays......"

The two of them asked and answered, not only did they not feel bored at all, but they became more and more interested.

Cheng Bai told these characters and things he was familiar with one by one, but his mood gradually became a little heavy, and he may never see such a scene again for a long time in the future.

"That and that. ”

"Don't look at him dressed well, in fact, he's a ruffian. ”

"I have seen a lot of this kind of person, whether it is a prosperous and troubled world, the most important thing is a ruffian scoundrel. ”

Zhiqiu Yiye saw that the two were chatting enthusiastically, so he couldn't help but interject.

After speaking, he drank all the wine in the wine cup, and his face was full of emotion.

"Yo, when did you become so sentimental?"

Cheng Bai keenly seized the opportunity to taunt the other party this time, so that the wine that Zhiqiu Yiye had just swallowed almost coughed up again.

"Young man, let me tell you, I have experienced more things than you have ever seen, how sentimental am I? ”

As he spoke, Zhiqiu Yiye filled the wine cup again, and was about to drink it, but was stopped by Cheng Bai.

"I said you, drink less and die, delayed today's events, believe it or not, I poked you out of what happened that night. ”

Seongbaek seems to have been chatting lightly, but he's actually very nervous about tonight's actions.

However, it's not just Chengbai, the reason why Fu Yuechi keeps looking for a topic to chat with is to divert his emotions, and Zhiqiu Yiye keeps pouring wine into his stomach all the time because of this.

The big event is approaching, and the three of them are actually more nervous than the other at the moment.

However, at this moment, an earth-shattering gong suddenly sounded, which made Cheng Bai's heart suddenly shocked.

"The national teacher travels, and everyone avoids it!"
