Zhao Ruhui sent He Zhizhou, who "drunk and fell asleep", directly back to the Shadow Gate. Although the shadow guards in the Shadow Gate didn't know Zhao Ruhui, they still knew the secret guard brand on his waist that was taken off Qi Mu's body , so there is no doubt about his identity.In addition, Zhao Ruhui sent back their lovelorn and drunk chief, the shadow guards at the door obviously treated him much better.

This also led to the next day when He Zhizhou endured the hangover and went out the door, he directly saw a certain deputy chief of the secret guard who was greeted well, drinking porridge with side dishes, and greeted He Zhizhou graciously when he saw He Zhizhou came. He comes to eat.

This anti-customer-oriented move made He Zhizhou subconsciously look at the surrounding building decorations, and only after confirming that this was indeed the Shadow Gate did he hesitate to ask, "Why are you here?"

Zhao Ruhui stuffed pickled melons into his mouth, with a look of reason, "Don't Zhizhou remember what happened last night? You drank too much and got drunk, or I carried you back. It was late, so I took advantage of the opportunity to stay here for one night."

It wasn't until Zhao Ruhui said this that He Zhizhou's chaotic mind finally began to work slowly. He frowned and rubbed his temples, and sat beside Zhao Ruhui quite tiredly.Zhao Ruhui very naturally handed him a bowl of warm porridge that had been served before, but because of a night of drunkenness, He Zhizhou really didn't have much appetite now, so he shook his head and refused.

He didn't pick it up, but Zhao Ruhui didn't dislike it either. After eating the last mouthful of porridge in his bowl, he simply brought this bowl in front of him again.

After a while, the cook came up again with a small pot of tea, which was placed right in front of He Zhizhou.Only then did Zhao Ruhui speak, "It's fine if you can't eat it, but I asked the cook to prepare some hot honey water for you just now, you can drink some of it and your headache won't hurt."

He Zhizhou nodded, this time he did not refuse.

All of a sudden, they ate breakfast and those who drank honey water. He Zhizhou sat quietly in his seat for a while, his face looked much better. Seeing that Zhao Ruhui was still having breakfast, he simply stayed with him for a while.

It's just that after eating breakfast, Zhao Ruhui was a little restless again. He seemed to be chattering and turning the cup of tea in his hand, but in fact, he was paying attention to He Zhizhou from the corner of his eye. Suddenly, he asked out of the blue, "So Over the years, hasn't Zhizhou thought about looking for your parents?"

He Zhizhou's pouring hand trembled slightly, and the tea gradually boiled a little on the table. He frowned slightly, and his thin lips spat out, only saying two words.

"what?"

Obviously it was Zhao Ruhui who brought up this topic on his own initiative, and he received cold eyes, but he was innocent, "Have you forgotten, Zhizhou? You mentioned it to me last night, saying that you were lost when you were young. Of course you didn't when you were young." What method, but now that you are the head of Shadow Gate, don't you think about looking for it?"

"After so many years, it doesn't mean anything."

This is really cold, no matter who it is, I believe that as long as you have a little vision, you may be able to know that He Zhizhou is not interested in this topic, but obviously, Zhao Ruhui has never been an ordinary person. Go to Tiger Mountain.

"I'm afraid it's not that it's meaningless, but... Chief He himself doesn't want to get to the bottom of it, right?"

He Zhizhou's eyes suddenly sharpened, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Ruhui met his cold and piercing gaze, and touched his nose silently, "Occupation, occupational disease, Zhizhou was drunk yesterday and told me a lot about the past. Think about it a little more."

He Zhizhou smiled suspiciously, "What are you thinking about?"

Zhao Ruhui spread his hands slightly, obviously acting like a good boy because of the cheap, "Since Zhizhou asked me to tell, then I won't hide it anymore. It was mentioned in Zhizhou's talk yesterday that you don't have any impression of what happened when you were a child, you only vaguely remember what happened at home. There is a pond and a big peach tree in the yard of your house—to accommodate these two things, the yard is probably not too small, right? In this way, even if your original home is not a rich and powerful home, at least you can live in it. It's rich."

As Zhao Ruhui said, he still didn't forget to glance at He Zhizhou, as if asking for proof. He Zhizhou didn't say right or wrong, but just glanced at him again with a half-smile, "What else?"

"What's more... Zhizhou's original saying is, 'After being lost, he worked as a beggar for many days, and he left with the old chief until he was starving to death and couldn't care about other things'. Generally speaking, when parents lose their children I searched in a hurry that day, and Zhizhou probably spent a lot of time on that street at that time."

"It's been more than half a month." He Zhizhou said calmly, "At the beginning, there were people on the street who saw me as pitiful, helped me find someone, and gave me food. After many days, there was no result, and no one heard of anyone losing their child. No one cares about me anymore. And..." He seemed to sneer, "How do you know I haven't been there afterwards?"

When He Zhizhou said this, Zhao Ruhui could somewhat understand his state of mind. Indeed, there were no more than two situations at that time. The first one was that some accident happened at that time and his parents did not have the ability to find someone—but if He Zhizhou went again later If they have been to the local area without any news, then the matter may be more inclined to the second type-they have never found their missing child at all.

This is really scary... Zhao Ruhui's heart sank slightly.

However, He Zhizhou didn't know what Zhao Ruhui was thinking in his heart. He looked at Zhao Ruhui with cold eyes for a long time. Since Xuanzhou came back, it was the first time he looked at Zhao Ruhui with such indifferent eyes like a stranger, and his voice was mocking and cold. "Deputy Chief Zhao, do you know that deliberately poking someone's scar is a very disgusting thing?"

Even changing the address back to "Deputy Chief Zhao" was worse than calling him by his first name. Zhao Ruhui could only surrender with a wry smile, and apologized repeatedly to He Zhizhou, "Sorry, sorry, I don't know. Most of them are orphans, at first I thought there might be some misunderstanding, that's why I asked this question, now it seems that I'm really troublesome."

What he meant was that he didn't know that He Zhizhou had been there since then, and he was afraid that He Zhizhou might have misunderstood his parents and miss an opportunity to see his relatives again.

After hearing Zhao Ruhui's explanation, although He Zhizhou's complexion was no longer as ugly as before, the coldness still didn't dissipate much. He looked at Zhao Ruhui, and issued the expulsion order without much energy.

Zhao Ruhui knew he was wronged, so of course he kept apologizing, and he didn't dare to be dissatisfied when he was driven out by He Zhizhou. He even smiled flatteringly at He Zhizhou, trying to apologize.

"I'm sorry, Chief He. I really shouldn't have done it this time. I still have a few altars of good peach blossom wine over there. The taste is good and not too intoxicating. I won't worry about a hangover. I'll get someone to give it to you in a few days. send over?"

However, He Zhizhou, whose mood has plummeted to a trough, naturally would not accept his bribe at this time, and he didn't give him a good face until he walked away.

But what He Zhizhou didn't know was that the expression on Zhao Ruhui's face suddenly changed as soon as he stepped out of the shadow door with a full face of apologetic smiles. His frown was even tighter than that of He Zhizhou at that time.

He turned his head to look at the high pavilion of Shadow Gate, and then turned around and went back to the palace.Not to mention, it happened to be an early morning.

It's just that after this early court, Zhao Ruhui directly left An Yi, and he went straight to An Yi without saying any more nonsense, and asked directly, "He Zhizhou said that Shadow Gate and Anbu co-organized six years ago. You lost to him in a match, is there such a thing?"

Unexpectedly, An Yiyi immediately exploded when he heard this, "He even has the nerve to tell you this!? That's him cheating, cheating!"

An Yi felt that his level was once again questioned by his superiors, and now he was extremely wronged, "That kid has been a thief since he was a child, and don't look at him like that, he was only a teenager when he was the disciple of the former Shadow Gate chief, The old chief gave him a little trouble every day. In comparison, I was only selected by the master after that banquet. Because I lost at that time, and I was also drilled by the master. During that period of time, life was like death. "Recalling it now, he still has a look of fear.

However, Zhao Ruhui didn't care about An Yiming's pretending to be pitiful, and he didn't care about the eye drops he secretly put on. He just frowned, "The old chief only accepted one disciple, so naturally he took his disciple as the next shadow sect chief to train." It's just that there were so many people in Shadow Sect at that time, why did you choose He Zhizhou who was still young and not very experienced?"

An Yi didn't expect him to ask such a question, he was stunned for a moment, and after thinking hard for a while, he finally spoke, "At that time, my master seemed to have asked the old chief of Shadowmen this question, but the old chief said, said..."

"Say what?" Zhao Ruhui glanced sideways at An Yi who was stuck.

"It is said that if you find a good seedling, you should cultivate it well, otherwise you will be like my master, and they will all be raised and abolished!" This is obviously not a glorious thing, secretly gritted his teeth and kicked his legs, and then he said what had once been his hell nightmare. Speak up.

When Zhao Ruhui heard this, he really smiled, but he didn't know whether it was a mockery of An Yi, or an irony of the credibility of this explanation.

He was silent for a while, before finally speaking, "The old Chief of Shadow Gate is away all the year round, Gu is really not very familiar with him, so, you go to see your master in person and ask him if he has found anything unusual about the old chief over the years, and then If there is one thing...Master An, I would like to ask Gu to find out what the old chief is doing, who he met, and where he went."

It's really not that he is suspicious by nature, but at this moment, it seems that all the mysteries are surrounding this mysterious former shadow gate chief.

——Why is the time for him to find Xiao Zhizhou so appropriate?Why does he treat He Zhizhou differently?Is Mo Luo really such a coincidence that He Zhizhou, who seldom had a fake look at the river lantern, met him?The old chief really promised He Zhizhou so kindly that he could help Mo Luo find his family, but there is no news at all?

There are countless doubts among them.Does this mean that the problem in Shadow Gate lies with the old leader?

The author has something to say: A special mention: In terms of setting, the heroine was only sixteen when she crossed over, and she crossed over to the eight-year-old Lolita and entered the shadow gate. She entered the shadow gate at the most bewildered stage and met the 12-year-old girl at the time. Small boat.

Then the timeline advanced eight years to the present, currently Mo Luo is sixteen and He Zhizhou is twenty.
