After returning to Wanshouguan, Yin Zhiping directly knocked on Li Zhichang's door with Zhao Zhijing.

People who practice martial arts are very vigilant when they sleep, and Li Zhichang is the same. Yin Zhiping didn't knock a few times, then he heard Li Zhichang's voice inside and asked, "Who?"

When Yin Zhiping heard this, he put down his hand knocking on the door and said, "Senior brother, it's me." ”

"Senior brother?" Li Zhichang was very familiar with Yin Zhiping's voice, and recognized it as soon as he heard it, but there was still a sense of surprise in his tone, naturally he didn't expect Yin Zhiping to come to him so late, I don't know what happened.

He got up and put on his clothes, then lit the candle on the table next to him, and then walked over and opened the door. opened the door, but saw that Yin Zhiping outside the door was wearing a black night suit, and there was a person in his left hand. The man was holding his belt face down by Yin Zhiping, and he couldn't see what he looked like, he could only see that he was wearing the uniform of a court attendant, and he looked unconscious. When he opened the door and saw this situation, he couldn't help but look even more surprised, pointing to the person in Yin Zhiping's hand and asking, "Senior brother, who is this?"

Yin Zhiping said: "Let's go in and talk." As he spoke, he stepped forward, and Li Zhichang hurriedly moved out of the way. When Yin Zhiping entered, he closed the door behind him.

Entering the house, Yin Zhiping casually threw Zhao Zhijing in his hand to the ground. He threw it with some skill, just enough to make Zhao Zhijing's body flip over, face up. Then he moved his body away, pointed to Zhao Zhijing on the ground and said to Li Zhichang: "Senior brother, you can recognize it well, see who it is?"

Li Zhichang heard the words and walked a few steps closer, and looked down beside Zhao Zhijing. He didn't recognize it at first glance, but looked at it more closely. Fang Cai asked with surprise and uncertainty: "This, this is Zhao Zhijing?"

Yin Zhiping nodded and said, "Not bad." It's him. ”

With Yin Zhiping's affirmation, Li Zhichang looked at Zhao Zhijing underground again. He was even more surprised: "He has changed so much, I almost can't recognize him." If it weren't for the fact that my senior brother told me a few days ago that he might have been found in the palace, I might not have thought it was him. After a pause, he sighed again: "I didn't expect that he was really hiding in the palace and pretending to be a chamberlain!"

Yin Zhiping said: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have thought of it." Although people are similar, martial arts cannot be faked. I found him tonight, and I gave him a try, and sure enough, it was this guy. Capture him. But it took me a lot of work. ”

Li Zhichang said: "Senior brother has worked hard. ”

Yin Zhiping said: "It is nothing to be able to close this unsolved case in our sect." However, although I will arrest Zhao Zhijing, a traitor, tonight, this matter is still not suitable for publicity. If there is a person lost in the palace, they will surely be traced, but they must not be allowed to find out here. Moreover, the news of this matter is not very good. ”

Li Zhichang nodded and said, "What Senior Brother said is very true, I know it." ”

Yin Zhiping said: "I think this matter is just for the time being, just let the two of us know the way." No more than five people. Let's find a place to detain him for the time being, wait for his injuries to heal, and wait for the rumors of the search in the palace to pass. So he sent someone to escort him back to Zhongnan Mountain and handed him over to the master of the sect to dispose of. ”

Li Zhichang nodded again and again when he heard this, and thought about it for a while. He said, "I think I'll lock him up in the retreat room at the back, it's a remote place." Few people go, and they are very strong. Lock the door from the outside, and don't be afraid that he will escape. ”

Yin Zhiping nodded and said, "Then junior brother, you take him first, and I'll go back to the room to get the key." ”

The key to the row of more than a dozen retreat rooms at the back of the view has been in his hands since he took over the Wanshou Temple. Whoever wants to use any room for the retreat comes to him and asks for the key. In addition, this is also convenient for him to sometimes go there to have a tryst with Li Mochou, and the key is naturally more convenient to hold in his own hands.

Li Zhichang said yes when he heard this, bent down and picked up Zhao Zhijing, who was still unconscious from the ground, and opened the door.

Yin Zhiping followed suit, went back to his room to get the key, and then went to the back. Li Zhichang didn't go very fast, so he caught up with Li Zhichang on the way.

The two of them arrived at the row of retreat rooms at the back of the closest, Yin Zhiping opened a room that had never been used, and Li Zhichang threw Zhao Zhijing into it. Yin Zhiping followed in, carefully inspected the quiet room again, and confirmed that there were no loopholes for Zhao Zhijing to escape, so he went out and locked the door and left with Li Zhichang.

Since this retreat was used for retreat without being disturbed, a small door was opened on the door for the delivery of food, which was used to deliver food to those who were in retreat. After all, this is only the world of martial arts, no matter how high the martial arts practice, although it is more hungry than ordinary people, it always needs to eat. Unlike the Xianxia world, with a little cultivation, there is the original food of Bigu and not eating. A retreat lasts for years, tens, or even hundreds of years, and there is no need to eat at all.

Such retreat rooms could easily be converted into prisons. The only difference is that retreat is when one closes the door inside and does not let people from outside so that one can concentrate on the practice without being disturbed, while a prison locks the door on the outside and locks the prisoner in this small place so that he does not let out and escape.

Yin Zhiping was originally looking for Li Mochou for a tryst tonight, but he was interrupted halfway on the way, and it was because he met Hong Qigong. However, there is one more Zhao Zhijing tonight, and tonight's events are also related to the night he first met Hong Qigong. It is also the cause of his sowing that night, and tonight it is the fruit.

From the time he met Zhao Zhijing and Hong Qigong coming out of the palace one after another when he walked around the palace, to the time when Zhao Zhijing was caught and locked up and returned to his room. Yin Zhiping secretly calculated that about half an hour had passed, that is, about an hour in the future.

In ancient times, a night was divided into five watches, and the time of one watch was equal to the time of an hour, which was equivalent to two hours. From the first watch to the fifth watch, according to the 12-hour system, it is equivalent to the time from the second hour to the second hour, and according to the 24-hour system, it is from 7 o'clock in the evening to 5 o'clock in the morning of the next day. Now one shift has not passed, and the third watch is not over.

Yin Zhiping returned to his room and meditated on the bed again, about half an hour later. got up and got out of bed again, walked out of the window lightly, jumped on the roof, sneaked out of the Wanshou Temple, and went back to Li Mochou. Although it was delayed for some time due to the previous events, it was better to be late than never.

He hurried all the way to Li Mochou's place, and after entering the room, he heard the sound of drums from the street. When I arrive tonight, I can't help but explain why I arrived late. However, Yin Zhiping just found some other excuses to prevaricate the past, and did not tell Li Mochou the truth.

After such a thing, Yin Zhiping was afraid that Li Zhichang would come to look for him early in the morning, but he didn't dare to delay Li Mochou here, and still heard the fifth watch on the street as in the past, so he said goodbye to Li Mochou and left, and rushed back to Wanshouguan.
