Thousands of years

Walking out of the courtroom, he suddenly closed his eyes to keep the tears from flowing.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the days became colder day by day. The biting north wind carried the fallen leaves and hit people's faces with pain.Apart from looking for Chu Tianyi's whereabouts every day, Zhan Zhao travels between the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Luo's family for Lin Ruoqing, hoping that they can show mercy outside the law and save Lin Ruoqing from prison.The more time passed, the more worried he was. He was afraid that her poison would recur, and if that happened, he didn't know if she could survive it.

Every night, no matter how late he came back, Zhan Zhao would visit Lin Ruoqing in the cell, and watch over her quietly until she fell asleep, but he didn't know that as soon as he stepped out of the cell door, Lin Ruoqing would open his eyes again. , Looking at the cold night sky outside the small window, sleepless all night.

The servant of the Grand Master's Mansion who was poisoned by Xiang Jun was finally blocked on the street by Bai Yutang. Under Bai Yutang's hard and soft tactics, he finally agreed to help him keep an eye on the Grand Master's Mansion. Once there is news of Chu Tianyi, Notify him immediately.

A few days later, Mr. Luo came to Kaifeng Mansion suddenly, uncharacteristically said that he would withdraw the notice to Lin Ruoqing, and said that he wanted to see Zhan Zhao release Lin Ruoqing from prison with his own eyes.

Although Zhan Zhao was surprised, he was extremely happy in his heart. When he and Lin Ruoqing came out of the prison, Lin Ruoqing, who hadn't seen the sun for a long time, was stunned by the warm winter sun and couldn't open her eyes for a while. Let me sneer: "How is it? Doesn't it feel good to be in prison? I heard that you have also been poisoned." Mr. Luo shook his head and said, "It's a pity, a girl who was so beautiful back then, is now thrown into prison. The tormented by the poison has become like this, maybe you will not be so unlucky as my seventh concubine who has already become my young master." Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhan Zhao at the side, and continued to say to Lin Ruoqing: "I I heard that you and Zhan Zhao are in love now." He paused, and burst out laughing so hard that tears were about to come out of his laughter, he just stopped laughing and looked at her viciously: "Very good, very good. Now that you have hurt my father, I let you die under the guillotine, which is taking advantage of you. I want to watch you be tortured to death by poison, and let Zhan Zhao watch, but there is nothing you can do, the pain It's unbearable." He leaned close to Lin Ruoqing while talking, smiling very lewdly.

Zhan Zhao stretched out his giant que to stop him, and shouted in a deep voice, "Mr. Luo, please be polite when you speak."

Lin Ruoqing was touched by his sore spot, almost unable to stand still, Zhan Zhao hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her, Lin Ruoqing stabilized her figure, opened her eyes wide to meet Mr. Luo's gaze, gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want Mr. Luo to worry about my death."

"Haha, you are still so stubborn at this point, I want to see how long you can be so stubborn?" After finishing speaking, he gave the two of them a hard look, turned around and left with a big smile.

Zhan Zhao looked at Lin Ruoqing with concern, but her expression was very calm, and she said softly, "Let's go."

Zhan Zhao didn't speak any more, the two walked quietly to the backyard, but just after entering the small courtyard, Lin Ruoqing's Gu poison broke out again, this time the attack was extremely tragic, and it hurt for more than an hour, when she finally managed to When he fainted in Zhan Zhao's arms, Zhan Zhao felt that his heart was also empty, he walked slowly into the house with Lin Ruoqing in his arms, the distance of a few steps seemed to take as long as a lifetime.

Zhan Zhao entered the door and put her on the bed, his whole body seemed to be exhausted, he fell down on the edge of the bed, and closed his eyes weakly, Mr. Luo was right, he could only watch her being poisoned Tortured to death, but unable to do anything, he wasted his life saving countless people, but he couldn't save the one he loves the most.

Three days later, Bai Yutang was hastily called away by a member of the Minglan Sect early in the morning, and he still disappeared at noon.In the afternoon, the family member of the Grand Master's Mansion ran to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion and clamored to see Bai Yutang, but was brought in front of Bao Zheng by the yamen servant.

Seeing Bao Zheng, the man hurriedly knelt down to salute. Bao Zheng sat in front of the book case, looked at this thin and shrewd man carefully, and asked, "What's your name? Why are you looking for Young Master Bai?"

"Master Huibao, the name of the grassroots is Zhao Liu, and he is a servant of the Grand Master's Mansion. I came to find Mr. Bai to tell him about Chu Tianyi." The man named Zhao Liu nodded and bowed with a smile.

As soon as he said this, everyone present was taken aback, and Zhan Zhao asked anxiously, "Where is Chu Tianyi?"

"Last night, Chu Tianyi went back to the Grand Master's Mansion via the secret road. The grass-roots bribed the maid who delivered the tea, and learned from her that Chu Tianyi lived in the Shi Family Courtyard in the north of the city." Zhao Liu glanced at Bao Zheng and hurriedly lowered his voice. Speak truthfully.

"Oh? Really?" Bao Zheng's long and narrow eyes flashed brightly, and he said coldly, "As a family member of the Grand Master's Mansion, why did you disclose the news to this mansion?"

"This...Master Bao doesn't know something. After Chu Tianyi and Mr. Xiang came, they were very vicious and arrogant. Not to mention us servants, even the Grand Master and the others often looked down upon them. It's just because of them One is good at martial arts, the other is good at poisonous arts, and they dare not speak out." He raised his right hand at this point, and everyone saw that although his hand could move freely, it was still faintly black, and they could only hear his hatred. Said: "Cao Min's hand was almost destroyed by that Xiang Jun, and now Xiang Jun has been arrested. Cao Min can't let Chu Tianyi threaten the grand master again, and wants to get rid of this disaster for the grand master. It just so happened that Bai Daxia found Cao Min that day, Caomin promised Bai Daxia to inform him as soon as he got news about him, so Caomin came."

Audio-Technica gave each other a wink, and Bao Zheng said in a deep voice, "It's really a blessing for Grand Master to have you as a loyal servant. Guard Zhan." His eyes looked at Zhan Zhao.

"The subordinate is here." Zhan Zhao stepped forward holding the sword.

"You can follow him to the Shi family compound." Bao Zheng ordered.

"But," Zhan Zhao seemed rather hesitant, "Bai Yutang is not in the mansion, who will be responsible for your lord's safety?"

"Isn't Dynasty Mahan still there?" Bao Zheng didn't seem to care, and continued: "You let him go, if you really meet Chu Tianyi, you need to be careful."

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, and finally nodded in response.

There was an imperceptible smile on Zhao Liu's face, but this smile fell into the eyes of Gongsun Ce who was always silent beside him.

Zhan Zhao followed Zhao Liu to the Shi family mansion, which is located in a desolate place in the north of the city, and it is an old house that has been abandoned for a long time.When the two came to the gate of the house, it was almost dusk, and the north wind blew the grass that was half a person's height around them humming, which only added a strange atmosphere.

"Master Zhan, you should go in by yourself, I'll wait for you outside." Zhao Liu shrank his neck and looked around, his voice trembling.

Zhan Zhao glanced at him and nodded lightly. Zhao Liu was secretly delighted, and was about to run away, but unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao's hand hit his acupuncture points like lightning.

"Master Zhan, what are you doing?" Zhao Liu stammered.

"You said you'll wait for me, I'm afraid you'll sneak away halfway." Zhan Zhao said with a slight smile.

Zhao Liu opened his mouth and was speechless.

Zhan Zhao suddenly turned his head, kicked open the gate of the house, swept his sharp gaze across the overgrown yard, and shouted in a deep voice, "Come out for me."

Six or seven masked men in black clothes appeared out of nowhere in the courtyard, all holding big knives, the leader sneered, "Zhan Zhao, today is the day you die."

There was a contemptuous smile on Zhan Zhao's thin and handsome face, and he raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "It's up to you? It's not close."

Several people looked at each other, then drew their weapons, and rushed towards Zhan Zhao while shouting.

Zhan Zhao didn't panic at all, he drew his sword to meet the enemy when those people were almost in front of him, he turned sideways to avoid the blade of the other, then turned around, Ju Que blocked the big knife above his head, and let out a crisp clang With a loud noise, the scabbard in his hand hit the man's lower abdomen, and the man bent down and fell to the ground with an ouch.Sensing the sound of the wind breaking through the air behind him, Zhan Zhao didn't turn his head to dodge it, and immediately kicked one person into the air.The martial arts of these men in black were not high, but they had the posture of stalking and desperately fighting. Gradually, Zhan Zhao became impatient. He saw a gap, jumped up, and kicked those people one after another. Kicked to the ground, Zhan Zhao landed lightly in a red official uniform, and looked at them coldly: "What? Do we still want to fight?"

Those people were lying on the ground in disarray, crying out in pain, but before they could answer, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, followed by Chao Chao's panicked and panting voice: "Master Zhan, it's not good."

"What happened?" Zhan Zhao asked in surprise.

"Lord Bao was kidnapped." Under the dim light at dusk, Wang Chao said with a pale face and cold sweat on his head.

duel

Zhan Zhao tapped the acupoints of those people, and ordered Wang Chao to bring them back to Kaifeng Mansion, and then he performed lightness kung fu to rush back. When he entered the gate of the mansion, he found that there was chaos everywhere, and several yamen servants were injured. Zhan Zhao hurried forward Greetings, several people covered their wounds and were very angry: "A group of men in black broke into the mansion and robbed Mr. Bao, Mr. Zhan, go and save Mr. Bao."

Zhan Zhao patted them on the shoulder, comforting them in a low voice: "Don't worry."

Going further inside, I met Mr. Gongsun hurriedly walking towards him. He stopped in front of Zhan Zhao, took a deep look at him, and handed him a note.

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to take it, unfolded the note with his slender fingers, and saw that it said: "If you want to save Bao Zheng, go to Chengdong Mountain Temple quickly." The signature was Chu Tianyi. His anger seemed to be on fire.

"Chu Tianyi specifically asked you to go alone." Gongsun Ce said with a stroke.

"Okay, Zhan will go meet him today and make a break with him." Zhan Zhao's still quiet voice carried a trace of determination, and he looked towards the backyard with his dark eyes.Gongsun Ce knew that under his seemingly calm appearance, he suppressed
