General, please be a loyal minister!

Not long after Han Zhao regained his disguise and returned to the camp, Liu Ji came.

Liu Ji quickly walked up to Han Zhao and grabbed his hand: "Where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time."

Han Zhao pulled his hand, but didn't pull it out: "Heavenly Prison."

After a little thought, Liu Ji connected the cause and effect together: "You killed it."

Han Zhao replied: "Someone is robbing the prison, I can only kill him." He frowned slightly at this point, Xu Zhongyan died, the master's clue was broken again, and things became troublesome again.

Liu Ji hurriedly asked, "Is Master injured?"

Han Zhao blocked Liu Ji from reaching out to take his hand: "Don't look at it, I'm not injured."

Liu Ji asked again: "Who is robbing the prison?"

Han Zhao was stunned for a moment, then replied, "I don't know."

He has no clue about the identity of the master, and telling Liu Ji won't help. Now Liu Ji should focus on the court and not be distracted by other things.

Another reason is that Han Zhao himself doesn't know what kind of person Nineteen is, and now he confesses to Liu Ji that there are too many things he can't explain clearly.

Fortunately, Liu Ji didn't ask any further questions, and just sighed: "If you kill him, kill him. It's just that it's cheaper for him to die like this."

He knew that there was someone behind Xu Zhongyan, and that Han Zhao was inextricably related to him, but he didn't care, he didn't know about Nineteen, and only recognized Han Zhao.If those lingering people insisted on coming to make trouble, he didn't mind coming and killing one by one.

Liu Ji told Han Zhao: "Master needs any help, you can tell me."

Han Zhao replied, "Take care of yourself." Compared to himself, Han Zhao was more worried about his master picking Liu Ji.

Liu Ji felt that Han Zhao looked at him like a child again, and he slightly lowered the corners of his mouth, looking a little displeased.But Han Zhao didn't notice the change in Liu Ji's expression. He lowered his eyes, thinking about his master.

Xu Zhongyan's death didn't bring any relief to Han Zhao.

A Xu Zhongyan can secretly fiddle with the court and influence two generations of emperors, making the puppet dynasty lose the hearts of the people less than 20 years after its establishment.So what about the master who taught Xu Zhongyan?How far can he go?

Did the disappearing Laoqi and Shiba go to the master's side?

What identities will the master and the boss hide in Dongdu?

Ji Liang met his master when he was a teenager. At that time, the master was in his 20s. Now that more than 20 years have passed, the master should be quite old... Han Zhao thought about the clues he had so far, trying to narrow down the scope of his search.

When Han Zhao came back to his senses and raised his eyes again, he found Liu Ji was staring at him. He was taken aback and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Ji didn't speak, and when he was about to stare at Han Zhao with hairs, he smiled slightly and stretched out his hand: "Master, there is something dirty here."

He wiped it lightly under Han Zhao's eyes. The fingers that had been holding the gun all year round were a little rough, leaving a slight heat on Han Zhao's cheeks.

Caught off guard by Liu Ji approaching Han Zhao, Han Zhao suddenly stiffened and his back felt hairy.

Liu Ji didn't realize it. He withdrew his hand and said calmly, "Erased it."

Han Zhao touched the place Liu Ji touched: "Next time I'll just come by myself, don't do it."

Liu Ji was taken aback, and asked later, "Does Master hate my closeness?" Although he said so, he put on a hurt expression of "Does Master hate me?", which made Han Zhao feel that he As long as you say "yes", you are a heinous sinner.

Even though he knew that Liu Ji used to put on a show, Han Zhao still couldn't bear to say hurtful things. What if there was a trace of truth in his expression?

Han Zhao explained: "No. You know I don't like being touched."

Liu Ji refused to let go: "Obviously it's okay when I was young."

Han Zhao reprimanded: "You are not a child anymore! Be dignified and pay attention to proper etiquette."

Liu Ji stared at Han Zhao for a moment, then calmly replied, "Yes, I understand."

In fact, flirtatious behavior was an excuse. Han Zhao just wasn't used to being touched by Liu Ji. His actions just now were too intimate for him.

Han Zhao was dissatisfied not only just now, but also Liu Ji's usual actions, whether it was intentional or unintentional.

This feeling is not disgust, it should be said to be a sense of crisis.

Undoubtedly, Liu Ji is already a mature man, with a fully grown slender and strong body, wider knowledge, and a more stable mind... Han Zhao has felt these things in his daily relationship, and felt his love. The disciple becomes powerful and aggressive.

Now Liu Ji is fully capable of defeating Han Zhao, and it's not like he won't do anything to Han Zhao.When Liu Ji left Liangzhou four years ago, the following crimes left a big shadow in Han Zhao's heart.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent, it was rare to get along with each other leisurely, so they want to break up unhappy?

The corner of Han Zhao's mouth twitched, and he asked, "Are you free tomorrow afternoon?"

Liu Ji asked, "What is Master's order?"

Han Zhaodao: "Come with me to a place and meet someone if you have time."

Liu Ji readily agreed: "Okay."

The next day, Han Zhao and Liu Ji left the barracks in plain clothes and came to the Eastern Capital.

When passing through the Zhuque Gate, Han Zhao pointed to the right and smiled at Liu Ji: "At the corner of the city wall over there, you can use light skills to borrow strength and go up to the top of the Zhuque City Tower. The entire Eastern Capital, except Yuebai Tower, belongs to this place." The scenery is the best."

Liu Ji didn't see anything strange, but still rolled his eyes: "It's been so long that I haven't had a chance to understand Dongdu, so why don't Master take this opportunity to show me around?"

He is not interested in Dongdu, he just wants to get a glimpse of Han Zhao's past in Dongdu.

Han Zhao withdrew his hand: "Another day, there are still people waiting for you. He is your elder, so be more polite when he sees you."

Mixed among the scattered pedestrians, the two passed through the Suzaku Gate.

Although he rejected Liu Ji's request, Han Zhao would still stop and talk to Liu Ji when passing by certain familiar scenes.

Occasionally he would be silent, and Dongdu left him not all good memories.

Stopping and walking along the way, the two finally came to a teahouse.

At first, because of the war, these shops were closed. After Liu Ji entered the city, he made an agreement with the people, promising that Qiu would do nothing wrong and let them live as usual, so the business in Dongdu was not abandoned.

The storyteller downstairs was telling the legend of Emperor Rong's time, and happened to mention Han Chongguang's name.

Han Zhao paused when he went upstairs.

Liu Ji only thought that Han Zhao paid special attention to this person with the same name as himself, and asked with a smile, "What does Master think of Han Chongguang?"

Han Zhao replied, "A poor fellow who was deceived by others during his lifetime and decorated by history books after his death."

Liu Ji didn't expect to get such an answer. While he was in a daze, Han Zhao had already walked up the stairs and entered the private room.

The two ordered a pot of tea and a few plates of pastries, but Liu Ji didn't see anyone other than him and Han Zhao.

After drinking a cup of tea, Han Zhao suddenly got up and said, "I'm going to the toilet." Then he walked out of the private room.

The storyteller downstairs has already talked about Emperor Jing. Although Emperor Jing's life was short, he was also a very colorful emperor in the history of the next dynasty.

In the nine years of his reign, he communicated with the Western Regions, opened up business, and eliminated traitors, and the prosperous 50-year prosperity of the next dynasty began from then on.

However, Mr. Storyteller focused on Emperor Jing's death. He mentioned that Emperor Jing's death was a wild rumor about Emperor Ping's murder.

Liu Ji responded with a sneer.

At this moment, a voice came from the private room next door separated by a screen, asking, "What are you laughing at?"

Liu Ji replied: "Emperor Ping is the eldest son of Emperor Jing, and his status as heir is unshakable. He has no reason to kill his father."

He wasn't talking about the relationship between father and son, but he could justifiably become the emperor, who would be willing to be scolded by the world for killing the king and father?

The person next door responded: "Indeed, the history books clearly record the scene of Emperor Jing's death. There is no reason for Emperor Ping to do this. But—"

"Because this rumor is so contradictory to the facts, it is worthy of deliberation, isn't it?"

Liu Ji replied: "This is sophistry. These rumors are just used by boring people to sensationalize and attract people's attention."

The person next door explained: "It's not wrong to think that there must be a monster if something abnormal happens. It's wrong to take it as a fact and spread it without verifying it."

Liu Ji can accept this statement, and agrees with it very much. He laughed: "Mr. Cheng Ju is right, but——can we take this screen away and talk?"

……

Downstairs, Han Zhao ordered a pot of tea again.

He summoned the shopkeeper, gave the shopkeeper a piece of silver, and asked him to drive away this annoying storyteller and invite a singer to come.

After a while, the sound of storytelling in the teahouse stopped, and the babbling tunes of Yueqin and Qinniang rang out.

I think the two people upstairs have already talked. Cheng Ju opened the door for Liu Ji to enter the east, so of course they know each other.

But this time the purpose is for them to formally know each other with another identity.

Although Cheng Ju opened the door to the Eastern Capital, he was an ex-official of the puppet court on the surface, and his status was embarrassing. Liu Ci might give him a high official title when rewarding him, but without a door, Cheng Ju could not enter the core power group.

Liu Ji can give him this door, and once Cheng Ju enters the political core, Liu Ji will be of great help.

In addition, there is still Jingxiu's affection between the two, and this alliance will be very strong.

Liu Ji didn't come downstairs until twilight appeared in the sky. He scanned around, found Han Zhao, and walked up quickly.

Han Zhao also saw Liu Ji, put down his teacup, got up and walked to Liu Ji, and walked out of the teahouse side by side with him.

After walking away, Han Zhao asked, "How was the talk?"

Liu Ji rolled his eyes and smiled: "Master sent me a national scholar, what should I give Master in return?"

repay?The food he ate when he was young is enough for him to repay, so do you care about the extra?

Han Zhao replied, "There's no need for nice words, let's go back."

As soon as he took a step, Liu Ji grabbed his sleeve.

Liu Ji took out a jug of wine like a conjurer, and smiled like a fox with crooked eyes: "Master, it's still early, let's go to the upstairs of Zhuque City for a drink." Take a look upstairs.

Liu Ji explained the origin of the wine in this way: "Mr. Cheng gave it to the Qianqiu Yueming in Guiyuan Township."

Cheng Ju came to talk about things and brought Liu Ji a souvenir?Han Zhao didn't believe it.Moreover, it is more appropriate to give Mingming He Qinghaiyan as a gift, and Qianqiu Mingyue is more like Cheng Ju's taste.

The wine in Guiyuan Township has always been rare. It is estimated that Cheng Ju worked hard to get it and planned to take it back to drink, but was cut off by Liu Ji.

However, Han Zhao didn't care about this little detail. Liu Ji was so interested, and he didn't intend to spoil it.

"Okay!"

The author has something to say: I am busy in reality, I haven’t saved the manuscript, and the update may slow down this week (although it is not fast usually) _(:з」∠)_
