On the second day of October in the 25th year of Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu decreed that the king of Yan was fully responsible for the case of Song Dali, and had a deadline of one month.King Yan handed over the case to Cui Miao and Shen Qing, and the two planned to finish taking care of the affairs of Peiping and rush to Shaanxi in a few days.

The guard who had just come out of the cell saw Cui Miao and Shen Qing approaching from afar, so he hurriedly greeted them, and saluted, "Biaoxia has met Qing Ninghou and Cui Qianhu."

Cui Miao looked at the food box in the guard's hand, and asked, "Why did you finish eating at this hour?"

Hearing this, the guard quickly explained: "Going back to Qianhu, I chatted with him for a while, but I forgot the time, so I came out late."

Cui Miao raised her eyebrows, glanced at Shen Qing, and said with a smile: "This is a good sign! What did you guys talk about?"

"It's nothing, just chatting. But don't worry, Qianhu, I understand the rules, and I didn't say a word when I didn't say anything."

Cui Miao nodded and said, "Give me the key, you can go and do your work, don't follow."

The guard responded and left the cell with the food box, while Cui Miao and Shen Qing walked in the direction of the man.When he came to the cell and opened the cell door, Cui Miao walked in, but Shen Qing didn't follow, but stayed outside the door.

When the man saw Cui Miao coming in, his eyes lit up and he said, "I thought you wouldn't come."

Cui Miao said with a smile, "I'm delayed by something today. But I'm very pleased that you can speak up on your own initiative. It doesn't count as a disappointment to my good intentions."

Rarely, the man didn't choke with Cui Miao, but only responded lightly.

Cui Miao took the man's arm and checked his wound. Seeing that there was no blood oozing today, she said with satisfaction: "There is no blood oozing today, I think he is recovering well."

The man said with gloomy eyes: "Even if the injury heals, I'm a useless person."

Cui Miao said reassuringly: "Whether you are a cripple or not depends on how you choose. There are so many people who have sound limbs but are useless. You don't have a right hand, don't you still have a left hand? As long as you don't admit defeat, you can still live out your life with one hand." Sample."

"Just like when you gave up literature and went to martial arts?"

Cui Miao was startled, and then said: "Just now I asked you what you were talking about, now I finally know. I was forced to do nothing back then, and it is quite similar to your current situation."

"Is that why you helped me like this?"

Cui Miao nodded calmly and said, "That's right. Since you have found out about me, should you tell me your name?"

The man lowered his eyes and said softly: "I don't have a name. I have been a beggar since I can remember. I was arrested and trained when I was five years old. I only have a code name."

Cui Miao said warmly: "If you don't have one, you can choose one yourself. If you have a new name, you can start a new life, and it will be regarded as a break with the previous life."

"Live again?" Hope flashed in the man's eyes, and then disappeared, and he said with self-deprecating: "How can I live again in my current situation?"

Cui Miao smiled confidently, "I said yes, then it will definitely be possible. You think of a name carefully, and you will tell me when I come back."

"Come back? Where are you going and when will you be back?"

Cui Miao replied casually: "Go out for a while, and the return date has not yet been set, and it should not exceed one month. Don't worry, I will help you arrange it before you leave, and they will not treat you badly."

"Aren't you going to ask me about the case?"

Cui Miao said frankly: "You can say whatever you want, and I won't force you if you don't want to."

The man fell silent and looked at Cui Miao seriously.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Cui Miao got up and said, "I'm leaving, you take care of your wounds."

"Wait!" The man stopped Cui Miao and said, "Can you tell me where you are going?"

Shen Qing looked at Cui Miao and shook his head, while Cui Miao smiled at him comfortingly, and said: "For the matter of the case, I have to go out for a while."

"Are you going to Shaanxi?" A nervous look appeared in the man's eyes.

The man's words made Cui Miao more convinced of his guess, and he nodded frankly.

"If you go, you will be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger. Do you have to go?"

"I have to go. The emperor has an order to let the prince thoroughly investigate the case, and the time limit is one month. Thanks to the trust of the prince, even if this trip is difficult and dangerous, I have to go!" Cui Miao's voice eased, and said: "I You understand his skills, and he will return safely, and you will tell me your name when the time comes."

"Can I go with you..." The man looked at his right hand, his eyes dimmed, and he said mockingly, "Forget it, I'm useless now."

"My lord promised me that when I come back, I will let you go out, and you can bear it for a while."

The man was stunned, his eyes complicated and difficult to distinguish, and he said: "On the Yushan Mountain in Xi'an Prefecture, there is a Guangyuan Temple. Under the temple, there is a hidden secret place. It is a place for training us, but every time we go in and out, we will be blindfolded. How to get in, I don't know."

"Okay, I see, thank you."

"There are hundreds of people training with me at the same time. Everyone is a murderer. If you want to go, you will definitely die. You have to think about it."

"Invincible, then outsmart! Don't worry, I'm not stupid."

Seeing the confidence in Cui Miao's eyes, the man flickered, then glanced away, and said: "But all the dead soldiers who come out there have a tiger head tattoo on their right arm, which is tattooed with special materials. It can only appear when it is high. As far as I know, there should be dead soldiers in the palace."

"Okay, I see."

The man looked at Cui Miao and said calmly, "That's all I know."

"This has helped me a lot, thank you!" Cui Miao smiled, "But for your safety, I can't let you out now. You still have to be patient for a while, can you forgive me?"

The man nodded and said, "For me, it doesn't matter where I am."

"I will tell them to stop the medicine, and you can take care of your health. Whether I come back or not, after one month, I will return you to freedom!"

"You must come back alive, my revenge has not been avenged, how can you die!"

Cui Miao was startled, then patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, sure."

When the two came out of the dungeon, Cui Miao breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The hard work of the past few days has not been in vain. As expected, I was not mistaken. His heart is still soft."

A trace of complexity flashed in Shen Qing's eyes, no matter who was treated like that by him, the result would be the same as that of a man.Cui Miao was dull and couldn't see the emotion in the man's eyes, but he could see it clearly. In just seven days, he had already fallen, but this man was still ignorant.

Shen Qing narrowed the look in his eyes, and asked: "What should I do next?"

"Of course it's a nail. After all, the less people know about our trip, the better. I don't want to be watched all day long. Especially when traveling with Lord Hou, what do you think, Lord Hou?"

Cui Miao lightly brushed the palm of his hand, Shen Qing's cheeks became hot, he held that tricky hand, and said, "Da Lang, are you sure you want to be here?"

Seeing Shen Qing approaching suddenly, Cui Miao retreated subconsciously, quickly looked around, and whispered: "Ah Qing, don't, I'm teasing you."

A smile appeared in Shen Qing's eyes, and he said, "But I'm serious."

Cui Miao suddenly had the feeling of digging a hole and burying himself. He waved his hands and said, "Ah Qing, I was wrong. Well, we still have business to do. Hurry up and report to the prince."

Shen Qing stopped teasing him, let go of his hand and said: "Well, it's important, let's go."

Cui Miao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the corners of Shen Qing's mouth couldn't help but curl up, Cui Miao could see through, he quickly suppressed the emotion in his eyes, and asked aloud: "What are you going to do?"

"Ah Qing is saying how to find out their identities?"

Shen Qing nodded, "What's your idea?"

"It's simple, just let them run around the school grounds for a few laps, and then check if it's okay."

The two talked and laughed all the way, and when they came to King Yan's study, they happened to meet Zhu Gaochi coming out of it, and Cui Miao hurriedly bowed and said, "I have seen the prince."

Zhu Gaochi quickly helped Cui Miao up, and said with a smile: "Cui Qianhu doesn't need to be polite, Gao Chi has seen the emperor's uncle."

Shen Qing nodded and said, "Shizi is going back?"

"Back to Uncle Huang, just now my father summoned him and said that he wanted Wang Hua to study with him in the mansion, and asked me to take good care of him. I readily agreed, and I was thinking of having someone tidy up Wang Hua's yard."

Shen Qing nodded, and said: "Hua'er is intelligent and restrained, with him studying with you, you can also improve."

Zhu Gaochi looked at Sanbao who was on the side, and Sanbao hurriedly took a few steps back and turned around.

Zhu Gaochi said in a low voice: "If Cui Qianhu personally taught him, Gao Chi would have made more progress."

Cui Miao said with a smile: "If you let the gentlemen hear what your son said, you will definitely not be able to spare me, so please be merciful."

Zhu Gaochi then laughed, and said: "The emperor's uncle must have something to do when he sees his father, so Gao Chi will not bother him. Cui Qianhu can rest assured, Wang Hua has my protection, and he will not be able to bear the grievance."

Cui Miao bowed and said, "Then I will thank you, my son."

Zhu Gaochi left, Sanbao went into the study to communicate, and Cui Miao explained the man's words in detail.Yan Wang Dayue said: "What the monk said is true, Cui Qianhu is indeed a great talent!"

The King of Yan ordered Cui Miao to handle the matter with full authority, and all the people in the palace, except the princess and the prince, obeyed Cui Miao's orders.

"My lord, it's inconvenient for the subordinates on the side of the women's family to come forward, and I still need the help of the princess."

The king of Yan agreed, called the princess, and described everything in detail. The princess nodded, and after making a plan with Cui Miao, she went back to the backyard.The princess returned to the courtyard and gathered all the female family members of the palace to one place, prepared a big bucket in the house, filled it with hot water, and went in one by one for a quarter of an hour.Although everyone was puzzled, the concubine was always respected by the prince, so they didn't dare to say more, so they had to follow suit.

On the other side, Cui Miao took the token of King Yan and summoned all the attendants and stewards in the palace to go to the school together.Cui Miao ordered that every group of ten people run around the school field, ten laps per group.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing why, but with King Yan's badge and Qing Ninghou standing aside in a vicious manner, they didn't dare to resist, and a group of ten started to run around the school grounds.After the run, Cui Miao asked Xue Lu to take him to the rest area of ​​the school grounds to check for tattoos on his arms.
