Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Ninth: Ahem, what about the good manners to govern the world?
In the prison, the firelight reflected the two figures on the wall, making them look dim and silent.
"Who are you?" Bai Yaoer broke the silence first and asked.
Her sword always hangs beside her, and as soon as the old man moves, the sword will stab with him.
She didn't dare to be careless because since her martial arts reached a bottleneck, nothing had been able to approach her so silently for a long time.
But the old man seemed to have no intention of taking action. He just smiled and said with his hands behind his back.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that Li Si has left the Heavenly Prison, ten years ago. Little girl, even if you don't care about the world and come to save people, you should ask about it first, right?"
Although there is really little news about Li Si in the world now.
Bai Yao'er didn't say anything, just looked at the old man quietly, and she was not sure if what he said was true.
Perhaps seeing Bai Yaoer's doubts, the old man continued to smile and shook his head.
"These things, Captain Yan, who was knocked unconscious by you just now, knows. You can wait for him to wake up and ask him. The old man said this, please let me know what happened next, girl."
As he said that, the old man walked past Bai Yaoer and disappeared into the aisle of the Heavenly Prison.
Bai Yao'er looked at the deeper Tianzhuo and was silent for a while. Then he made some decision. He silently put away his sword and turned away.
The old man left walked straight towards the depths of the palace.
In fact, he didn't want to fight Bai Yao'er, and there was another reason besides the lack of need, that is, he had a feeling that he might not be able to take Bai Yao'er. Even if the two of them started, they would probably be out of control and completely disrupt the prison, so he gave up the idea of sending Bai Yao'er away.
He hasn't felt this way for a long time. It's hard to imagine that such a young girl could make him afraid.
Where did she get such a deep internal strength? The old man frowned slightly and thought, could he have encountered all the opportunities in the world?
What the old man didn't expect was that when he thought about it casually, it was really the way Bai Yaoer stepped to this point.
Over the past ten years, Bai Yao'er has been following her father in the deep mountains and valleys everywhere. She has visited 11 martial arts secret realms, 27 lost secret books, ate 55 kinds of treasures of heaven and earth, and encountered 98 kinds of worldly opportunities.
It can be said that Bai Yaoer's father gave Bai Yaoer everything he could give Bai Yaoer.
But all this is not so good. She has experienced the pain of cultivating her mind in the cold pond and the pain of burning her body in the fire pond. Every time she eats natural treasures, in addition to being able to transform her, is often accompanied by unbearable torture for ordinary people.
Because of these, Bai Yaoer's mind is much calmer than before, which is why she listened to the old man's opinions and left the prison first.
She is no longer the girl who didn't know the world back then. She is less coquettish and more capable, she knows how to judge the situation and restrain herself.
She knew that many things would be bad if she had done them. Since the old man advised him with kind words, she would believe him first and ask Yan Tingzhi tomorrow before she could talk about it.
When the old man returned to the inner palace, Li Shizong was sitting at the desk handling official duties. He probably noticed that the old man had come in. Li Shizong asked with a smile.
"How was the matter in the Heavenly Prison?"
"Go back to Your Majesty." The old man bowed slightly and said, "The girl has been asked to leave, but your Majesty really doesn't need to be punished by Xiaoshi? In this way, it may make the people in the martial arts world think that our palace is a place where we can come and go at will."
"No need." Li Shizong waved his hand, still smiling on his face, and said, looking at the old man.
"Governing the world requires demeanor."
And he has this kind of demeanor.
When it is tied, it is tight, and when it is wide, it is loose. There are only a handful of people who can come and go in the palace with martial arts. There are not many people who have this leisurely mind. As long as there is no big trouble, he will pretend that he has not seen it.
The balance between the world and the court has never been so easy to grasp.
"You can suppress the news about this matter first." Li Shizong looked at the old man and ordered.
"Especially don't let Chang'an know that Li Si, this thief has a lot of romantic debts..."
Speaking of this, Li Shizong narrowed his eyes and his tone was rarely filled with anger.
He really didn't know what this thief was good about, but he just asked Chang'an to like it and caused trouble for himself all day long.
He could suppress this matter first and not let Chang'an know, but if he knew what Li Si did to Chang'an, he would be sorry for Chang'an.
Humph, then don't blame him for turning against others.
······
When it was dawn the next morning, Yan Tingzhi woke up in his room. His neck was still hurting and his head was still dizzy.
He sat up from the bed with his hands, and Yan Tingzhi shook his head.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from his side.
"Catcher Yan, you're awake."
He was very familiar with this voice. After all, he had just heard it yesterday. This was Bai Yaoer's voice.
Thinking that he was knocked unconscious by the other party yesterday, Yan Tingzhi hurriedly held the knife next to him.
"Don't be nervous." At this time, Bai Yao'er was sitting at the table in the room and said to Yan Tingzhi.
"You are now in your own house, and I brought you back."
In the past, Bai Yao'er also lived in Yan Tingzhi's mansion for a few days, so she roughly remembered a seat, and she brought Yan Tingzhi back in a circle.
"You haven't robbed the prison?" Yan Tingzhi asked with his forehead, looking at Bai Yao'er.
"Li Si is not there, why am I robbing?" Bai Yao'er looked at him calmly and asked.
Yan Tingzhi should not have been fully awake. He was stunned for a moment when he listened to Bai Yaoer's words, then nodded heavily and said to himself.
"Yes, Li Si is not there."
Looking at Yan Tingzhi's reaction, Bai Yao'er believed the old man yesterday's words. It seemed that Li Si had really left the Heavenly Prison.
Then why haven't he come to find him? Humph, the guy who doesn't keep his word?
Bai Yaoer snorted in her heart, silently wrote a note to Li Si, and then continued to ask Yan Tingzhi.
"Where is he now?"
He raised his head to look at Bai Yao'er, then Yan Tingzhi sighed deeply, put down the knife in his hand, lay on the bed and said.
"This matter has been a long story."
Indeed, ten years have been a very long story.
