Placid Chang'an

Liu Zhen froze as far as he could see, then quickly turned his head, bumped into the person outside the barrier, and immediately froze in place.

However, with a snap of his fingers, Liu Yu got up from the ground and stood facing the wall, leaving only the back of the two of them.

"Zhong Pei..." Cui Hao frowned, "Come here, look at me."

"Who told you to come back!" Liu Yu yelled angrily, "Go to your Huizhou, this is not the place for you!"

"I won't go!" Cui Hao clung to the barrier firmly, "I'll be right where you are!"

Liu Yu was so angry that he knew what kind of temper this stubborn donkey had. It was unrealistic to point at Cui Hao and go by himself, so he turned to Su Cen and said, "Master Su, this is against the rules, take him out quickly!"

Su Cen said calmly: "If I don't bring him here, he will block me in front of my house. If my neighbors see me, I'm afraid I will be hurt."

Liu Zhen was choked, and resisted the urge to turn around and scold Cui Hao, and almost choked back a mouthful of old blood.What if this person doesn't know his identity?He even ran to the street to show his face. Su Cen lived in a place where high-ranking officials and nobles gathered. If someone looked at her, the consequences would be disastrous.

Unable to persuade him to change the threat, Liu Zhen said angrily: "If you don't leave, I will call someone!"

"You call, it's best to call someone to arrest me," Cui Hao smiled lightly, "I will be locked up next to you, and we can be together again."

"You!" Liu Zhen was almost overwhelmed by the anger. Before he could figure out how to wake up this stupid ass, Su Cen said, "Talk first, I'll go out and wait for you."

When the sound of Su Cen's footsteps gradually faded out of the cell, Liu Zhen's voice became smaller and finally stopped.The few words just now had exhausted all the strength, now it seemed that the breath was gone, no more persuasion, no more scolding, silently facing the wall, without saying a word.

Originally, he thought that the farewell at the city gate was a farewell, but now that he was standing here again, how could he be willing to drive him away.

Cui Hao smiled lightly, and knew that this person was a dead duck who couldn't bear him, so he pretended to be wronged and said: "Zhong Pei, look back at me."

Liu Zhen hesitated for a while, raised his sleeves to wipe the dust off his face, and then used his hands to gather some messy hair. Then he turned around embarrassedly, and looked at Cui Hao with his lips pursed.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Cui Hao was still standing still, he frowned, "Is it ugly?"

Cui Hao came back to his senses, his nose suddenly became sore, and tears welled up fiercely. He suppressed and forced a smile at the person, "It's not ugly, it's beautiful."

"Nonsense!" Liu Jue's face flushed. It's not bad that he can meet people with his current appearance. How can he match with good looks? He became angry and wanted to turn his head away. Cui Hao hurriedly said: "Don't, don't go, yes It's really pretty!"

Then I looked at Liu Zhen and emphasized it again seriously: "I think you look good no matter what you look like."

"No shame, no shame," Liu Jue reproached, then smiled lightly, his eyes softened, like a bright moon, just like in his memory.

"I can't reach you," Cui Hao stretched out his hand through the barrier, "Come here, let me take a good look."

Liu Zhen took a few steps forward, and when he got to the door, he was pulled violently, and hit by a barricade, and before he recovered, he was hugged by someone.

Cui Hao took a deep breath in the person's ear, and then let it out slowly, clenching his teeth tightly, his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his lungs, "I really don't want to let you go again."

There was an ice-cold barrier between the two of them. Liu Yu felt a little ache from being strangled, but he couldn't bear to interrupt after all. He slowly wrapped his hands around and patted the person on the shoulder lightly, as if comforting, or as if Coveting the warmth of this moment.

"I've made up my mind. When you go out, we will travel all over the world, and go to all the places you have wanted to go all these years but can't get out. If you are tired, let's find a place to live in seclusion, and you can go to my hometown. Hongzhou, didn’t you always want to see the place where ‘the three rivers are surrounded by five lakes’? Then we will build a few acres of lotus ponds, build a hut next to it, and raise a few ducks. If you think it’s noisy, you can raise geese. "

Cui Hao remembers what Su Cen said, Zhong Pei wants to die now, he has to rekindle the motivation to live.But as soon as the words came out, I realized that these words had been prepared thousands of times in my heart, and it was like sailing smoothly for a while. In the end, I didn’t know whether I was convincing Zhong Pei or venting what I wanted to say but didn’t dare to say. of.

Liu Yu interrupted: "The geese are noisy too."

"Then don't raise it, we can raise whatever you want," Cui Hao smiled lightly, "it's fine to raise cats and dogs, the important thing is that we raise them together."

Liu Yu said: "Raise a donkey."

"Donkey?" Cui Hao was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Donkey... donkeys are also fine, they can pull a mill and ride them, and when they get too old and can't move, they can still be slaughtered and eaten. It's still your thoughtfulness."

Liu Yu smiled lightly, straightened up from Cui Hao's arms, looked at Cui Hao softly and said, "Then you remember, you have to do all these for me."

Cui Hao's expression changed instantly, "What do you mean 'I'll do it for you'? It's the two of us doing it together!"

Liu Zhen shook his head, "You are fine outside, I can't drag you into this abyss."

Cui Hao was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly understood what Liu Zhen meant.

"It's very good outside, but without you, I'm nothing. If you are in the abyss, then I will never turn back!"

Cui Hao stretched out his hand to pull the man, but Liu Jue took two steps back to avoid him, lowered his head and said softly, "I killed someone, I can't get out."

"You didn't kill people!" Cui Hao yelled angrily, "It was the mother and son who asked you to do this, right? Isn't it enough for them to entrap you all these years? You need to clean up the mess for them, why?! "

"Shut up!" Liu Zhen frowned, his eyes carefully scanned the faces of every prisoner around him, and he was a little relieved to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then glared at Cui Hao, "Do you want to die?"

Cui Hao shook his head stubbornly: "My life belongs to you. If you die, I won't live anymore."

Liu Zhen took another two steps back, hiding himself in the darkness, "You are still young, and you still have a great career. Although you are moving to Huizhou now, I have made arrangements. After two years, the limelight here will pass. Find a way to transfer you back. At that time, someone will naturally promote you, your official career will not stop here, and you will meet someone better than me in the future, so why waste time with me. "

"As expected of Liu Xiang, the arrangement is meticulous. First send me away to save my life, and then bring me back after the matter is over and continue to get promoted and make a fortune." Cui Hao suddenly smiled, "Have you ever thought about it, on the day of your execution, I just smashed my head to death on the guillotine, and I died before you, how will you implement those plans?"

"Ah Hao..." There was finally a moment of wavering on Liu Zhen's face.He just thought about that scene and his heart trembled. If Cui Haoruo really appeared on the execution ground, he might go crazy on the spot.

After struggling again and again, I could only say: "I... I have no way out. From the moment I stepped into Dali Temple, I have no way out."

"Who said that?" Cui Hao's eyes suddenly turned sideways, "It's not just her Queen Mother Chu's family that dominates the court."

"You mean..." Liu Zhen paused, then shook his head soberly, "I used to fight against him everywhere, and he probably wanted me to die the most."

"But he has a weakness," Cui Hao glanced back slightly, "Su Cen doesn't care about these, all he wants is the truth, as long as we tell him everything we know, he will clear your name."

"Su Cen..." Liu Yu pondered for a moment. This year, Li Shi's love for Su Cen has been undisguised. In some places, he even went against the ancestral etiquette. If it hadn't happened, he would have planned to start with Su Cen To deal with Li Shi, now it seems that it is the only way out.

"Then why did he help me?"

"Because he hasn't changed," Cui Hao said firmly, "everyone of us has changed to some extent since entering the court, and he alone can still maintain that youthful spirit. He was able to fight for a life back then. The immediate boss—even though the boss left in the end, he can give us justice now."

Seeing that Liu Zhen was still hesitating, Cui Hao added: "Don't you want to find out who really killed Tian Pingzhi?"

Liu Yu's expression was really moved.

Cui Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a dull pain in his heart.If it is not a last resort, he does not want to pull Tian Pingzhi out.He could see that Liu Zhen had something for Tian Pingzhi. If it wasn't for Liu Zhen's epiphany about feelings, he might have been fooled by Tian Pingzhi back then.

Fortunately, Liu Zhen was unresponsive back then, and fortunately, he appeared in time.

After a while, Liu Zhen nodded slightly.
