Stone powder fell, and the sword tip slowly scratched the corner of the prison wall, leaving a narrow and curved mark, like a frowning eyebrow.
Zhikarizhen put away his long sword, which was the twenty-sixth mark he made in prison. Yuzhenhui failed to rescue him from prison as promised, and he did not blame anyone. Even if he was as strong as Taoism, he could not
Acting wantonly. This matter falls under the jurisdiction of the royal family. Daomen cannot directly take action beyond the authority and can only exert indirect pressure.
Zhi Shou really knew that this was just one of countless battles between the royal family and the Taoist sect. No matter what happened in the end, neither side would care about the outcome, nor the survival of any of the chess pieces.
Fortunately, Zhiqiu Zhenxiao has never put his hope in the hands of others, so he has not lost his mood. On the contrary, because he has been in prison, which coincides with the Taoist sect's purpose of quietness and inaction, his Taishang has a lot of thoughts.
Diligence.
On weekdays, in addition to practicing the Xuji Nailing Soul Forbidden Technique, Zhikarizhen also studies the White Bone Purana Sutra, or practices his own invisible and true swordsmanship with the Fuji Sword Box. Whether it is the White Bone Purana Sutra or the invisible and true swordsmanship
Swordsmanship is much better than that of Da Jin, and some of the skills are so complicated and profound that Zhi Shou really needs to ponder them over and over before he can slowly understand them.
"Come, let's play a few games of chess to relax." Seeing Zhikari Zhen finish adjusting his breath, Mengmeng jumped off the beam in a hurry and dragged him towards the chessboard.
What the Monkey Spirit wants to play is not Go, but a new game called Backgammon, which comes from her original world. The Monkey Spirit wants to take the lead every time, so that Zhikarizhen loses every battle without winning a single victory. Zhikarizhen looked at the pile of white chess pieces pushed over, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "Is it interesting that you keep winning?"
"Young man, don't be too obsessed with winning or losing. Didn't I tell you? You are happy when you win and you are happy when you lose, and the world comes and goes with ease. This is true whether you play chess or in life." Mengmengda took the lead in picking up a
A black chess piece was pressed on the center of the chessboard with a "bang" sound, and he said seriously, "Don't be afraid of losing. This is to hone your indomitable Taoist heart."
Zhikari had no choice but to land a white chess piece: "My Taoist heart is about to be crushed."
"I wish you break first and then build up, and you will achieve great success from now on." Mengmeng smiled and made another move. She knew that Zhi Shou was really deliberately trying to accommodate her. Underneath the young man's deep and sinister nature, there was actually a very soft heart.
Stuff.
The two of them played dozens of moves in succession. Seeing that the black pieces were about to form five pieces in a row, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the top of the stone staircase.
Mengmengda turned her head and looked around, and saw Wang Yifu and Xie Xuan rushing over happily, led by the jailer.
"Look, Xie Dazui looks beaming with joy. Are you going to be acquitted?" Mengmengda asked curiously.
Could it be that Yuzhen will take action again? Zhikarizhen secretly wondered, and continued to put down a chess piece. If Yuzhen would take action, he should have informed himself.
The jailer opened the cell door, nodded and smiled flatteringly: "Congratulations to the young marquis, congratulations to the young marquis, you are safe and sound and can go back to your home to rest."
Wang Yifu stood outside the iron fence in a mixture of sadness and joy. He had lost a lot of weight, and his face was haggard and blue, but also glowed with an excited and sickly red light. "I am late, I hope that the prince will forgive me." Wang Yifu choked several times and said to him.
Zhi Kaizhen bowed deeply and leaned down.
Zhi Shouzhen hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to help Wang Yifu. The latter refused to get up and said in a trembling voice: "Yifu is really a useless person. He just sits and watches the prince in danger, but is helpless. He really has no face to deal with the prince."
Great trust."
Zhi Shouzhen forcibly lifted him up and said sternly: "The Yu Clan is so powerful that the princes in the temple are unable to do anything, let alone Master Chang Shi? In the final analysis, I killed the Little Eagle King by mistake, so I deserve it."<
/p>
"Nonsense! What kind of crime deserves it? Not only are you not guilty, but you are also guilty!" Ji Kang's clear and angry voice came from afar.
Zhi Shouzhen raised his eyes and saw Ji Kang, wearing a wide robe and high sandals, walking like a meteor, coming like a whirlwind, followed by the other five men in the bamboo forest.
"Master Jijiu, Mr. Xiang, Mr. Wang..." Zhikari Zhenzhen saluted one by one, but Liu Ling grabbed him and said with a smile: "What sir, what are you mean? We are most annoyed by this kind of hypocritical stuff.
Son! Just call him Laoji and call me Lingge. How can I be so polite?"
Ji Kang looked at Zhi Shouzhen and sighed deeply, with a look of shame on his face: "Yuan An, you were entrusted by us to risk your life to compete with the Little Eagle King of the Yu Clan to promote the prestige of our human race, but you ended up in jail and almost lost your life. I
I’m really ashamed of you!”
Wang Yifu said to Zhi Shouzhen: "Master Jijiu and the other five masters have been working hard on this matter. They knelt at the palace gate for days, begging your majesty to release the crown prince. Master Xie Xuan, Master Zhou Chu and the Wang family, Bai family and Wei family
Many other disciples from aristocratic families are also parading on the streets to petition for the crown prince."
Zhi Shou thanked everyone again and again, and Ji Kang shook his head: "The release of little brother Yuan is not our credit."
"It is rumored that His Majesty compensated the Yu Clan a large amount of property, and they agreed not to pursue the case for the time being. But as far as I know..." Shan Tao explained with a puzzled tone, "It seems that the Yu Clan took the initiative to release you, claiming that they would release you in the future.
I will use my swordsmanship to repair my hand, and then I will have a sword fight with brother Xiao An to avenge my shame." When he said this, he couldn't help but shake his head. The Yu clan wanted to execute Yuan An immediately before, but now they take the initiative to let Yuan An go, which is really against common sense.<
/p>
Ruan Ji said: "Birdman has always been arrogant and conceited. Maybe he took a breath and thought about regaining face from his little brother in the future."
"It may not be the Yu clan's intention, it's probably the Taoist sect's secret effort. After all, my little brother joined the Taishang Shenxiao Sect." Xiang Xiu muttered, the Chongxuan Department secretly intervened in the parade, and it couldn't be hidden from anyone with a discerning eye.
Wang Yifu's heart moved slightly. The six Zhulin sons were free and uninhibited by nature, but they would never speak freely. Now they call Yuan An their little brother, and the meaning behind it is quite conceivable. Could it be... An idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel surprised and confused.
Happily, if this is the case, it can be said that the crown prince is a blessing in disguise and has soared into the sky!
"Xiao Anzi, you are well raised!" Xie Xuan came over and said with a smile, "After being in prison for several days, he is still so thin and tender, and his appearance is delicious."
Zhikarizhen smiled slightly and said cutely and angrily: "Xiao Xuanzi, I haven't seen you for a few days, but your big, smelly mouth hasn't changed at all."
"What does a little monkey know? Men have big mouths to eat everywhere!" Xie Xuan turned around proudly and pouted his lips at the wealthy ladies of the aristocratic families behind him, eliciting a burst of curses and sweet smiles.
The crowd surrounded Zhi Shou Zhen as he walked out of the prison gate. The sun was shining outside, and the summer cicadas were perching in the trees and chirping. Zhi Shou Zhen couldn't help but feel like he was in another world.
He saw hundreds of carriages lined up and parked across the street. Yuan Wan stood at the front, leaning on a crested crutch, followed by a group of Bolingyuan clan elders obediently following behind, and behind them were a large number of disciples from aristocratic families.
, a dark place filled with people.
Zhi Shou was slightly startled and hurriedly stepped forward to greet Yuan Wan. Mrs. Yuan personally took him out of prison, which undoubtedly showed to the Bolingyuan family that his son's identity was beyond doubt.
"Xiao An, thank you for your hard work." Yuan Wan sighed softly. Yuan An was imprisoned, but not many people from the Bolingyuan clan worked hard for it. If she hadn't gone to the palace to face the saint and protect Yuan An, I'm afraid some elders would have
Will have the idea of Yongninghou Mansion.
"Yuan An!" "Brother Yuan!" "Little Marquis!" Wang Hui, Wang Xian, Wang Liangmi's brother and sister, Zhou Chu, Tao Yujin, Kong Jiuyan, Cangwu Bai and many other high-ranking disciples gathered around and rushed to the ground.
Say hello to Shikari Makoto.
The sunlight was dazzling, and the youthful smiling faces seemed to be emitting brilliant light. In such a warm light, even Shikari Shin was illuminated gleamingly.
These children of aristocratic families truly accepted Yuan An.
This makes Zhiqiu really happy, but also indescribably sad.
