Chapter 2: Talking about the Heart in Prison (Part 1)
Sister Xie Xuan just walked out of it.
Xie Yongxu nodded to Mengmeng, Xie Xuan waved and winked and called: "Little monkey spirit, don't follow that unlucky Yuan An, why don't you follow me."
Mengmeng rolled her eyes at him: "You got up in the morning and haven't had time to go to the toilet yet, right?"
Xie Xuan was stunned: "How did you know?"
"Because it all squirted out of your mouth, you idiot! Go back and take a pee and take a picture, then you will know that you are not worthy!" The two sides passed each other, leaving Xie Xuan with a cute figure on his back with the middle finger raised. Wang Ziqiao showed the house number to the jailer and walked down the gray chalk stone steps. The stone walls on both sides were tall and dry, and no dust accumulated in the corners. Unlike other prisons, Tingwei Prison was dedicated to imprisoning nobles and nobles.
It looked dark and dirty, even the tiger-head brass lock on the cell door was polished to a shine.
The jailer opened the lock, and Wang Ziqiao saw Zhikarizhen standing under the skylight of the iron grid. The sky was as large as a grid, and narrow beams of light penetrated from a high place, illuminating his slightly upturned face and forming vertical lines of light and dark. This scene made Wang Ziqiao a little puzzled. He didn't know whether the young man longed to break through the window and jump into the air to regain his freedom, or whether he was content with the unique tranquility here.
Just like he was wondering why Karima wanted to attack the Kodaka King because he couldn't overdraw his money, this completely overturned his judgment on the boy's temperament.
But this is more interesting. People's hearts are complex and multi-faceted, which is why they have the fun of playing with them. Wang Ziqiao stuffed a piece of honey jade into the jailer's palm without leaving any trace, and the latter realized his interest and left. Zhi Shouzhen turned around and saw Wang Ziqiao,
I couldn’t help but be startled.
"Is the prince surprised?" Wang Ziqiao walked into the prison slowly. The surrounding area was clean and the ground was covered with thick soft straw mats. The dark purple flocculent withered grass leaves exuded a medicinal fragrance, which was smoked from century-old rice.
Grass has the effect of repelling insects and calming the nerves.
There is a long table in the center of the cell, with a rusty Yaoqin placed on it, a pair of nanmu chessboards and two boxes of black and white jade chess pieces. Next to it is an old bookcase with dozens of volumes of recreational books piled up. The bed leans against the south
The walls and pillows are made of green glazed porcelain, and the quilt fabric is made of fine color-changing lake crepe, which is warm in winter and cool in summer.
Due to his status as a pre-recorded disciple of Thunder Bluff and the fact that he was from the Yuan clan, a top family member, he was placed in the most exclusive cell of Tingwei Prison. He was not shackled and his supervision was extremely loose. He could be visited at any time. p>
Punishment cannot go to aristocratic families. This has been a tacit rule between the royal family and high-ranking families for many years.
"Wang Changshi was supposed to be here. But he has been busy running around rescuing the Crown Prince these past few days and has never slept a wink. He fell ill this morning. I had no choice but to go over my shoulder and come to visit the Crown Prince on his behalf. The Crown Prince takes special care of his spiritual pet.
Wang Changshi also asked me to bring them along with some requested items." Wang Ziqiao explained, passing over a foot-high sandalwood mother-of-pearl lacquer box.
"Thank you, sir." Zhikari took the lacquer box quietly. Inside were several classics explaining the realm of refining qi and restoring the spirit, many miscellaneous notes about the Earthly Dream Path, and the bronze beast soul furnace bought from the secret realm of the bamboo forest.
.These things were originally supposed to be submitted by Wang Yifu himself, but unexpectedly it was Wang Ziqiao who handed them over, which made Zhi Shouzhen secretly afraid.
Fortunately, even if Wang Ziqiao had seen the beast soul stove in the paint box, he would not be able to guess its purpose.
Meng Mengda lightly jumped onto Zhi Karizhen's shoulder, whispered a few words, and gave an overview of the trouble caused by Ji Kang's petition, but secretly spread the word with his thoughts: "Wang Yifu originally planned to come because of illness, but this man surnamed Wang was
I persuaded you."
"The prince's spiritual pet is quite rare. It doesn't look like he was brought out of the bamboo forest." Wang Ziqiao said meaningfully, "It is said that the profound secret method of Zhu You can bring the spiritual pet into the sea of consciousness. The two sides spread the word through their minds?"
Zhikari said curiously: "This is the first time I have heard of it. I am not as well-informed as Mr."
Wang Ziqiao smiled: "The prince's injury is no longer serious."
Zhi Shouzhen said frankly: "The doctor invited by the Marquis Mansion has excellent medical skills, and Miss Xie's family also gave many precious Taoist medicine pills. The wounds healed very quickly." Across his robe, a soft and cloud-like bandage was wrapped around his chest.
The bandage is embroidered with gorgeous flowers. Small colorful aphids that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye crawl out of the flower stamens, burrow into the wound, and spit out sticky secretions, which are cool and comfortable.
The bandage is one of the magic weapons of the Yanwu Xie family, and it has miraculous healing effects. According to Xie Yongxu, Xie Xuan secretly made it, but Xie Xuan claimed that he was succumbing to his sister's power and was not allowed to do it. p>
Wang Ziqiao walked to the elder, knelt down and wiped away some dust on the chess scale: "Your Majesty, are you interested in playing another game?"
Zhikarizhen burst into laughter, walked to sit across from Wang Ziqiao and said, "As long as you don't lift the chessboard again, sir." He picked up a black chess piece in his left hand and threw it towards the star in the upper right corner.
Wang Ziqiao stretched out his hand to stop Zhikarizhen from letting the chess pieces fall on the board. "Your Majesty, shouldn't the elders come first?"
"Before victory or defeat, where can we grow up?"
"Didn't the Crown Prince always let Wang make the first move in the past?"
"Sir also said that that was the past."
"After the prince entered the Taoist sect, his tone of speech became different."
The two looked at each other, their wrists intertwined, and the black chess piece never fell.
With a "pop" sound, Zhikarizhen suddenly grabbed a chess piece with his right hand, threw it into the chessboard, and grabbed a corner first. "Sir, you are overthinking. When the two armies are fighting, naturally they must strive for the first move and do their part."
Wang Ziqiao stared at Zhikarizhen, stopped and smiled: "Your Majesty, you really have some grace as a swordsman. No wonder even a Yu clan swordsman genius like Little Eagle King lost his life at your hands."
He grabbed a white chess piece and placed it in the small eye position in the left corner of the chessboard. Zikari Zhen landed another piece, and both sides responded quickly, each occupying the corner.
"But if you kill the Little Eagle King, won't the prince worry about the life and death of his family?" Wang Ziqiao glanced at the chess game, hung a white stone to the lower right corner of the chessboard, and brazenly invaded Black's camp, setting off the first round of fighting. p>
His words, which seemed to come out casually, also concealed a conflict, intended to shake Zikari's swordsmanship and induce the other party to question his original choice of sword use.
Zhi Shou really picked up a black stone and was not in a hurry to attack the invading White chess piece. Instead, he placed the stone near the opponent, making Black's chess position even more serious. "In the past, the ancestors of the Langya Wang family had the feeling that 'life and death are no different'.
.', so he created the Orchid Pavilion Xu Kung Fu that shocked the past and the present. From Lianxu Hedao to common people, who doesn't worry about life and death?" Zhi Shou Zhen smiled slightly, "Of course I am afraid of death, but is it possible to be afraid of death?
Aren’t you going to draw your sword anymore?”
"The Yingyao incident has caused such a big fuss, so the crown prince will not die so easily." Prince Qiao also smiled in return, and the white piece pressed against the black piece in the right corner, starting a close fight. "When the prince killed Yingyao
, you have expected that your life will not be in danger, right? This matter involves the state of the Jin Dynasty, the dignity of the human race, and the prestige of the Taoist sect. No one dares to execute the prince at will. If the prince has no scruples, he can naturally kill him with a sword."
Zhikarizhen took a deep look at Wang Ziqiao, and he vaguely sensed the danger in the other person's words. If he denied it outright, it would be too false and would go against his true intentions. But if he admitted what the other person said, it would be tantamount to belittling his own swordsmanship.
.
"Does the Crown Prince need to take a long exam so soon?" Wang Ziqiao looked at the hesitant young man and asked leisurely.
