In the fresh morning, without the sound of monks chanting scriptures together and the lingering Zen fragrance, the ears and nose are much cleaner.

The golden sunlight passed through the window, folded into several sections of different widths and thins, lingering on the exquisite table made of ebony, a few brown-green tea leaves seemed to be fried well, slowly simmering in the clear water. It spins and does not sink to the bottom of the water. If it is held in a glass cup, the score of aesthetics may increase even more.

A white mist floated in the porcelain cup, and I fanned it with my hands, but a faint scent of fragrance was still unhurriedly emitted from the surface of the water. A morning that can score full marks is straightforward enough to be sure, there is no past And what day in the future will be more perfect than the beginning of this day.

Qin Shi sat on the chair, and the tea he made smelled like a mouthful. Since half an hour had passed since he had eaten a simple meal, he felt that it would not be a big deal for him to drink another cup at this time. I just held up the porcelain cup in my hand, and before I could blow the tea leaves standing on it to the other side, the door of the room where I was sleeping made a loud bang, and was violently hit by the wind and dust brought from outside. open.

"Qin Shi, do you know that Yueqiong secretly escaped from the prison where she was held yesterday! Not only the chains were broken, but also the guards were gone. No one knows how she escaped from inside. The most important thing is What’s more, it’s still missing!”

Without taking a look, Zhao Yuan, who broke in rudely like a blasting team a few seconds ago with an anxious face, didn't even answer his words in time.

Qin Shi continued to do what he hadn't done before, and took a sip of the tea in the porcelain cup slowly without sipping a single piece of brown-green tea, and then slowly put the tea on the table without making a sound The voice, the sunlight happened to fall into his eyes, reflecting obsidian-like brilliance, and his expression was as calm as ever.

"I know."

"How could this happen!" Hearing what he said, Zhao Yuan's mood broke down even more. He couldn't help but hold his head and spread his hands and walked back and forth repeatedly, "Even you know, don't you say Am I the last one to hear about this? Thanks to the fact that I am still Bei Gongchen's confidant and military adviser, it's not as good as you who stay in the house all day without going out of the gate, ahhhh! I What kind of face do you have to see the prince under the underworld in the future!"

"You must be too nervous. Sit down and have a cup of tea to calm your surprise. I didn't expect Bei Gongchen's taste to be quite good. It's pleasantly surprised that this tea is not astringent and slightly sweet." Qin Shi turned the tea on the table upside down. Turn a porcelain cup over and put it upright, slowly pour tea into it and have another cup for yourself at your leisure.

Zhao Yuan slapped both hands on the table, shaking the porcelain cup. If Qin Shi hadn't used internal force to neutralize the force, these expensive dishes would almost make the ordinary people lose a month of food. The tea flowed everywhere.

"I don't have time to drink tea now! It was so hard to let her in. Why did this happen all of a sudden? How do I explain to the princess now? My head...I'm going to have a headache to death."

"Don't have a headache, she will walk back by herself later." Qin Shi said.

Zhao Yuan looked like a salted fish that couldn't turn over with a sad face. If he didn't still have a little reason in his head, he would have collapsed on the chair with a look of lovelessness, "You don't have to force me to comfort me, how about she?" How could it be possible to throw yourself into a trap if you escape easily, isn't doing so the same as committing suicide?"

Qin Shi still said calmly: "I can guarantee you that she will voluntarily go back to the prison."

"..." Zhao Yuan suddenly felt something was wrong, and asked half-believingly, "Why... are you so sure?"

Qin Shi seemed to be chatting in a good tone this morning: "Because of people, I was the one who let him go."

"Cough cough cough! What did you just say! Did you let him go?" Zhao Yuan was almost choked to death by himself, staring at Qin Shi, his face was full of expressions of are you stupid, "Are you bewitched?" Or was she brainwashed by her disguise? That person is Yueqiong! A scum who can do anything without a bottom line, why did you let her go secretly?"

Qin Shi pushed the porcelain cup that had been poured with tea forward, and chuckled lightly, looking very mysterious, "Drink this cup first, and then I'll tell you the answer."

Zhao Yuan asked suspiciously: "What does it have to do with whether you drink or not and what you tell me?"

"Let's talk after drinking." Qin Shi picked up his own porcelain cup and toasted Zhao Yuanxian mischievously. His tone of speech at this time was not strong, but it was obviously expressing that if anyone does not want to follow suit, then don't Thinking about what important news he will say next.

"..." Zhao Yuan was speechless, so he took a sullen breath, picked up the cup on the table and drank it quickly, even swallowing the tea in it. The tea here is really expensive, it is undoubtedly a top-grade product, and it is a waste to drink it like this.

But Zhao Yuan couldn't care so much. He would have tasted it carefully before. Now he was so anxious that he didn't even feel the pain. He finished drinking in one go. His restlessness and anger calmed down a little.

Qin Shi smiled softly and said, "How is it? This tea is okay to drink, right?"

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but come down the pole, "It's okay, it's just a little hot."

Qin Shi shook his head regretfully, "Swallowing even cold water like you would make your tongue hot, are you calm now?"

Zhao Yuan said helplessly, "If you could quickly tell me the answer to why you let Yueqiong go, my mood would be much calmer."

Taking a sip of the lukewarm tea, there was no astringency but sweetness on the coating of his tongue. Qin Shi thought about it with satisfaction for a while and liked this feeling very much. He decided to buy a batch of this kind of tea in the future and save it to taste slowly when he was free, but now Let's start with an explanation.

"I didn't mean to let him go, but I was forced to make a bad move."

Zhao Yuan then asked: "Did she use some trick again?"

Qin Shi said: "It's not that simple. She didn't use tricks, but played a game of chess, a huge game of chess that tricked us every step of the way until it was still going around in the end."

"What? Where? What did she lie to us?" Zhao Yuan was taken aback. He didn't think Qin Shi was joking because he was bored, but after hearing it, he didn't expect the flaws in it. He couldn't help becoming anxious. He wanted to ask again, but outside the gate Suddenly a guard ran in, and he knelt on one knee and said, "Doctor, Yueqiong, who escaped from prison for a day, has just returned to the prison."

Zhao Yuan was dumbfounded, "She really came back?"

The guard said: "Yes, and I have met with the princess, but I don't know what whispered that caused the princess to faint suddenly, please go and check!"

"The princess is still fainting! I...my head..." Zhao Yuan rubbed his forehead, and felt a severe headache for a while. How could he expect so many things to come together, it was really a wave of unrest.

The guard asked: "Doctor, are you okay? Shall I ask the doctor to show you?"

Zhao Yuan couldn't help complaining: "What doctor are you looking for, am I not a doctor? Hey... don't worry about this for now, go to the jail quickly, and Qin Shi, you must explain clearly what is going on on the way Otherwise, I will really have to find a doctor to treat my headache later."

-

There was already a crowd of people gathered outside the gate of the cell, even the jailer who had been missing for a long time was also present, to be precise, he was caught by his colleagues from the arms of the girl in the brothel, when he saw Qin Shi and Zhao Yuan coming over, The jailer almost knelt down and cried for his father and mother.

"My lord! You have finally appeared. Please tell them quickly that the reason why I didn't fulfill my duty is because you asked me to do so. I didn't let the prisoner go on purpose at all! Let alone lust!"

The warden was furious, "It's obvious that you made a mistake for fun, and you still want to blame others. You've got the guts of a bear, don't you?"

The jailer was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy, "Boss, please spare me! This time it's really not my fault! Trust me!"

The warden said: "I want to believe you this time, unless a fairy falls from the sky!"

Qin Shi stopped the warden, "Although no fairy will fall from the sky, you really have to trust him this time. I really asked him to do this."

The warden was dumbfounded, "But...but why did you do this?"

Qin Shi said calmly: "Zhao Yuan will discuss this matter with you in detail, let him go first."

The jailer was finally untied, his hands and feet could move, and he was so moved that he said, "...my lord, I thought you wouldn't come. Fortunately, my ass is finally free. You are really a fairy sent by heaven to save me!"

Zhao Yuan pushed the two people who were getting closer and closer away, and the corners of his mouth twitched speechlessly, "Stop talking about nasty courtship, my skin is getting goosebumps, and I don't want to be the wedding host of the two of you from now on. , Qin Shi, you go to see Yueqiong first, I will take care of the outside affairs, and by the way... talk to the princess."

Qin Shi nodded kindly, the warden wanted to go together but stopped under his gaze, realizing that although he had a high status in the prison, standing in front of Zhao Yuan and Qin Shi was actually a little guy, Extremely embarrassed, in order to save face, he hastily presented a large key ring with keys to the prison cell, and opened the door for him like a dog.

Qin Shi walked in alone. It was the same road but not the same cell. Perhaps it was because the chain was broken into two pieces last time. This time, the chain outside the cell was as big as an adult's arm. Those who didn't know it thought that there was a beast inside that could bite a big rock as tall as an adult into pieces.

Qin Shi stopped in front of the cell, stood outside, looked at Yue Qiong who was huddled in a corner with disheveled hair, "You seem to be in a bad mood."

With an inexplicable heck out of her mouth, Yueqiong raised her ironic eyes, "...It seems that you already knew that I would come back, and the return of the property to its original owner was also a conclusion that I said in advance after predicting the development Bar."

Qin Shi said calmly: "I did expect this. After all, once people have completely lost their sustenance, they will not think about living. Life is meaningless. It's a normal choice to settle everything, but I didn't expect that you would specifically look for it. Bei Gongchen took revenge."

Yueqiong took a sip of water on the ground, "Why didn't I take revenge on her? If it wasn't for her, Fusheng and I wouldn't be what we are now."

Qin Shi said coldly: "...I really underestimated your ability to deceive yourself and others. Don't tell me that you still think that the fault is all on Bei Gongchen."

Yueqiong immediately asked: "Isn't it? Was it her fault or whose fault? If he hadn't entered the Beigong palace, he would not have changed his mind and would have been nice to me all the time. It was all money, power, her fault!"

Qin Shi shook his head, "...you are hopeless."

Yue Qiong sneered, "...you must think that I have lost completely... But it's not right, although I can't get Fusheng, the same Bei Gongchen also lost him, and she still hasn't recovered yet. Knowing that Fusheng treats her like dung as he treats me, he still thinks with joy that he still loves her."

"So I told her that I killed Fusheng and would not tell her where the body was until I died, just to make her despair, asking herself over and over again why I didn't take precautions before it happened, and fell into the pain of losing and recovering but missing and ruining the happiness of a lifetime inside!"

Qin Shi said in a deep voice: "This is your way of revenge? Let the pain of a person's life, let self-blame linger in her heart like an invisible ghost, gradually poisoning her bones."

Yueqiong's eyes were shining, and the corners of her mouth were raised, "That's right, my pain is temporary, but she will have to endure it for a lifetime! So what about mere death, am I really the one who lost... Oh no dear, I should have won, this time I won, do you understand hahahaha..."

Qin Shi looked at Yueqiong who was laughing maniacally in the cell, and felt that she was sad and pitiful, "...you are right, I did lose this time, and you did win, but..."

He said calmly: "Everyone knows that even though the dream is beautiful, everything that happens in it can't be taken seriously. Although it's a pity, we still have to say goodbye."

Yueqiong couldn't help opening her mouth wide, and a very bad premonition sank in her heart, like a weight bending a pole, "What...? What are you talking about? What dream?"

Qin Shi ignored Yue Qiong, and as the calm words sounded, a crisp finger snap appeared in his hand, "I think the trial can be over."

"Wait...!" Before Yueqiong stretched out her hand and rushed towards Qin Shi who was outside the cage, she felt that she fell backwards uncontrollably at the moment when the words and snapped her fingers were over, opened her opened eyes, and lay on her stomach He gasped heavily on the ground, and when he raised his head again, he found that he was no longer in the cell.

Looking around, in the middle of the night, under the illumination of two torches, the walls of Shaolin Temple could not be more obvious, and martial arts warriors from all walks of life were in this empty courtyard in twos and threes.

Standing in front of her was Qin Shi, and beside her were Zhao Yuan, Bei Gongchen, and those who had lost their sanity, muttering to themselves about Fusheng, who was all over.

Yueqiong was completely confused, she opened her mouth, "...how...why..."

Qin Shi said calmly, "Welcome back from your dream, Yueqiong."
