[Seven-Five] I Long Song

There were no candlesticks to light inside the narrow door that only allowed one person to pass through, so Zhan Zhao lit a torch to illuminate the surroundings.

The path in the dark room is curved, and the left-turn intersection ahead does not know where it will lead.Bai Yutang frowned, took the torch from Zhan Zhao's hand, and stepped in without hesitation.The dark secret passage was illuminated bit by bit by the fire, and the weird murals on the surrounding walls also appeared in the sight of the two.

"Mao'er, what do you think these are?" Bai Yutang looked at the monsters on the murals that seemed human but not human.

"They? Are they eating people?" Zhan Zhao also couldn't believe it as he watched a monster brutally tear open the woman's body and munch on it.

Bai Yutang's voice was a little dry, and he said after a while, "These murals give me a very ominous feeling, and I always feel that something will happen."

Zhan Zhao turned his head and took a deep look at Bai Yutang, then said in a calm voice, "Me too."

The atmosphere suddenly became gloomy, and the two of them no longer had the excitement of finding the dark room just now, as if they had groped for the gate of the Nine Hells. Feeling helpless and powerless is just too bad.

Finally, it was Zhan Zhao who broke the silence and said, "Let's move on, maybe there will be something to gain."

After several turns, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang finally saw the closed gate at the end of the secret road.Who knows what is outside the door, and where it is, Bai Yutang drew a shadow out of the sheath, and pushed open the door bolt with the tip of his sword.

The bright light blurred his face unexpectedly, Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes slightly, his shadows were constantly splitting, he opened the door wide and walked out.

Zhan Zhao, who came out, looked at the familiar furnishings in the house, and opened his mouth: "Here, we seem to have been here before."

"Indeed, I have been here. This is the house of the young master Zhao Wenxiu. We wandered around the secret road for a long time and never left Princess Zhaoyang's mansion." Bai Yutang looked at the familiar scenery outside the window, speechless.

Zhan Zhao's cat eyes widened: "It's true, I turned the house upside down to find clues about Zhao Wenxiu's case, but I didn't find any useful information."

"Didn't we always suspect that Zhao Wenxiu's room was too clean, and someone did it. Besides, there is no way a father would dig a secret passage to his son's room." Bai Yutang felt suspicious about the son-in-law Wen Liejin. There are more and more, but the case was closed too quickly under the pressure of Princess Zhaoyang. Now that Wen Liejin has died cleanly, no matter how many questions there are, there is no way to prove it. I feel quite regretful.

"Is someone still cleaning Zhao Wenxiu's room? Why is Wen Liejin's study room full of dust at the same time, but this place is spotless?" All the tables and chairs in the room were wiped to dust. Otherwise, Zhan Zhao stretched out his finger to touch After touching it, I found that my fingers were really clean, and I was a little puzzled at the moment.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be the servants here? But besides the old man who guards the door, are there any servants here?"

"You'll know if you ask, let's go find the old man at the door." Zhan Zhao pushed open the door, and went straight to the dozing old man at the door. "Old man, has anyone else been to this mansion besides you?"

The old man opened his bleary eyes, very dissatisfied with the young man who woke him up to sleep, and just wanted to get angry, but when he saw that it was the white, tender, handsome young man from before, his anger was replaced by the young man who seemed to be his own. The grandson's love, patiently replied: "I have been guarding the gate, little old man. It has been a long time since no one has come to the gate except me."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, clearly seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.Then thank the old man: "Thank you, old man."

Although I didn't find any clues about the old beggar during my visit to Princess Zhaoyang's Mansion, there were quite a few unexpected surprises, and the trip was worthwhile.

In the Kaifeng mansion, although Yang Chizhang was ordered not to engage in strenuous exercise or to leave the mansion, Gongsun Ce has already entered the palace, and there is no one in the huge Kaifeng mansion who can control him. Master Bao just looked away for a while, Looking back, the person could no longer even see a shadow.

The empty-nester old man Bao Zheng who was thrown in the mansion is almost in his hands: Yang Shaoxia, come back quickly, I can't bear Gongsun's anger alone!

At first contact with the long-lost free air, Yang Chizhang felt that even the bones of his body were a little lighter.Ah Ce was too careful with him, always caring for him like fragile porcelain, always forgetting that he was still a knight with great martial arts skills.Yang Chizhang stood at the door and thought for a while, planning to visit the ruined temple first.After all, if you want to find an old beggar, you still have to start with his kind. After the last plague, these well-informed beggars have already regarded the imperial court and Kaifeng Mansion as their saviors, and they are grateful to Zhao Zhenna.

Guawa, who was eating cold Wowotou for lunch, suddenly saw the big brother who rescued him descending from the sky like a god, and happily threw away the Wowotou in his hand, and the next second was caught by the big brother who was not full. The beggar was the first to pick it up and put it in his mouth, rolling his eyes from choking.

Guawa was a step late in reacting, so she could only look at the bun in the man's mouth with a regretful expression.

Seeing this, Yang Chizhang frowned slightly.He had seen Guwa this kid last time. Although his clothes looked old, they were clean anyway, and there was some flesh growing on his face. Why did he become like this again not too long ago?

Guawa originally wanted to rush to Yang Chizhang's side to hug him, but when she saw her eldest brother floating like a fairy, and then saw her messy hands and dirty hands, her eldest brother was a pure white cloud in the sky. He is the mud in the ditch on the ground, he is really not from the same world, he should not embarrass his big brother.So Guawa abruptly stopped moving forward, with a shy smile on her face: "Big brother, why are you here?"

Yang Chizhang saw Guawa's low self-esteem, took a few steps forward and knelt down in front of him, stroked the child's head and smiled, "Brother needs help with something." Then he touched Guwa's shriveled belly , distressed: "Have you been living like this all this time?" As far as he knows, the group of beggars is not a solid group, and strong beggars prey on old and weak beggars. have happened.Gua Wa had his grandpa to help protect him for a while, but now he is alone, and he doesn't know what kind of life he is living.

Guawa's eyes were reddened by Yang Chizhang's intimate actions, and she couldn't help confiding with some nostalgia: "I am young, and no one wants me when I go out to work, so I have to continue begging, but what I get will always be taken away." Mostly."

Yang Chizhang immediately gave a "tsk" in displeasure, this kid had some relationship with him anyway, so he couldn't sit idly by.Thinking about it, I still have a house that was burned down and most of it was repaired, and I didn't live in it. It's not good to have no one to take care of it, so I said, "Big brother, can I give you a job?"

"Huh?" Guawa looked up at him suspiciously.

Yang Chizhang didn't intend to go into details now, so he smiled at Gua Wa and asked, "Gua Wa, do you know where Hua Xu is?"

"Hua Xu? Who is he?" Gua Wa looked puzzled, obviously this name was very strange to him.Yang Chizhang slapped his forehead, but he forgot how Guawa knew the old beggar's real name, so he quickly described the old beggar's appearance.

"Ah, big brother, you are talking about Grandpa Xu!" Gua Wa clapped her small hands, suddenly realizing.

"Grandpa Xu?" Isn't the old beggar's surname Hua, why is it Grandpa Xu?

"Yes, Grandpa Xu is the leader of all our beggars. He was there. The robbery situation on our side is not that serious, and everyone gets along better, but I don't know why Grandpa Xu hasn't appeared for a long time. Everyone said He died outside." Gua Wa opened her ignorant eyes with a cute face, suddenly slapped her thigh, and shouted: "I remembered! Grandpa Xu still has a house in the city, everyone doesn't know, I I accidentally saw it while begging!"

Hearing this, Yang Chizhang's eyes lit up, as if they were filled with thousands of twinkling little stars, and his tone was a little uncontrollably joyful: "It's not too late, Gua Wa, let's go now." Don't dislike Guawa's messy clothes, and hugged him in his arms again, but Guawa has grown a lot taller now, and nesting in Yang Chizhang's arms has a somewhat comic effect.

But Gua Wa doesn't care about these things, he is about to fly up with joy now, and then he really flies up again, as if he can touch the blue sky with his hand, Gua Wa's immature face shows sincerity smile.

"Big brother, this is it." Gua Wa slid off Yang Chizhang's body obediently, pointing with her little finger to an inconspicuous one of the many houses in front of her.

Yang Chizhang nodded, then took out the broken silver from his waist and stuffed it to Guawa, saying: "Brother, go and check something, you go to the restaurant opposite to fill your stomach first, and my brother will pick you up in a while, okay?"

Gua Wa vaguely knew that it would be inconvenient to bring him a child with him in the next thing, and firmly believed that he would not hold back his big brother. Gua Wa took the broken money and obediently said goodbye to Yang Chizhang.

Yang Chizhang patted Guawa's small head, watched Guawa enter the opposite restaurant, and then turned around to look at the house with a serious expression on his face.No one knows if there are still people inside at this time, so it is absolutely impossible to startle the snake.Damn it, at times like this he is always envious of his friends from Mingjiao, stealing and hiding is the leader of all sects, and he doesn't brag about it, but the living environment is a bit harsh.

However, if you have the conditions, you have to do it, and if you don’t have the conditions, you have to do it. Yang Chizhang looked at the evergreen tree in the yard that was still luxuriant in winter, and landed on the branch of the tree with a flash of lightness. superior.

Had to give the old beggar a name...
