Zhao Rushu is still at the foot of Phoenix Mountain.
When he came out of the prime minister's house, he met a man.
The man told him that he knew where Lord Xue was.
The man also described Xue Ji's appearance very clearly, and said that Xue Ji encountered difficulties, but he did not dare to alarm Shi Miyuan, so he gave himself five taels of silver to move Zhao Rushu as a reinforcement.
Zhao Rushu was a little skeptical at first, but when he saw what this man said, he became convinced.
The most important thing is that he doesn't know where to find Xue Ji now.
You can only listen to this person first and try before speaking.
Zhao Rushu followed the man to the foot of Phoenix Mountain, and soon reached the bamboo forest.
As soon as he entered the bamboo forest, Zhao Rushu found that there was no trace of the man.
And the soldiers following him had no idea where they were.
Unlike Xue Ji, Zhao Rushu never meant to force himself, he preferred to let nature take its own course.
Zhao Rushu, who let nature take its course, simply found a clean stone and sat down.
He had not planned to go out to find Xue Ji in the first place, but now that he was lost, it was a good reason.
He sat on the stone and repeated everything Shi Miyuan had done recently in his mind.
Zhao Rushu felt a little scared.
Obviously, what Shi Miyuan did was not as simple as he thought.
He, Zhao Rushu, had asked himself for a long time whether he had the courage to follow Shi Miyuan and do this.
He thought and thought until he fell asleep.
Just then, he heard a rustling sound in the bamboo forest.
Then a strong fishy smell came over.
Before he could stand up, a huge python came from the sky.
Zhao Rushu screamed in surprise.
I don't know if his scream scared the python, but the snow-white python just stopped on top of his head, as if looking at him.
Zhao Rushu was already paralyzed with fear. He stared at the python's eyes, and then looked at the python's big mouth.
He had a feeling that he would become a delicious meal for this python before long.
"Big man, don't scare Mr. Zhao."
Suddenly hearing the human voice, Zhao Rushu was startled and suddenly felt that he had hope of living again.
"Who is it? No matter who you are, please let this python leave me immediately."
There was a burst of laughter from outside the bamboo forest, and it was obvious that it was not just one person.
When Zhao Rushu didn't know what to do, two colorful ribbons suddenly fell from the sky.
The two straps were like two arms, pulling Zhao Rushu up.
Then, Zhao Rushu flew into the air, crossed the huge python, crossed the towering bamboo forest, and was gently sent to the grassland by the lake outside the bamboo forest.
After standing firm, Zhao Rushu saw Zhao Bai smiling at him.
Behind Zhao Bai were four beautiful girls. He was taken out of the bamboo forest with silk ribbons by these four girls just now.
Zhao Rushu looked at Zhao Bai and saw Zhao Bai waving to the pile of white snow in the bamboo forest. Then he vaguely remembered that the mount of the God of War Zhao Bai was a giant python, and it also had a very cute name - Big One.
Needless to say, the python that was facing him just now was a big man.
"Master Zhao." Zhao Bai apologized to Zhao Rushu with a smile, "This kid is naughty again. If you scared Master Zhao just now, please don't get along with him."
Zhao Rushu thought to himself, how dare I complain about this python? If he gets angry and opens his mouth, I won't be able to see the sun tomorrow.
"Big man, why don't you come out and apologize to Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Bai actually made such a request, which frightened Zhao Rushu into waving his hands repeatedly.
"No, no, I'm not scared by him. Let him have a good rest in the bamboo forest."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, there was a loud noise in the bamboo forest, and the eldest brother flew out of the bamboo forest and flew into the sky.
Zhao Rushu felt that the sky above him immediately turned gray.
He raised his head and saw the big man wagging his tail in the air.
It really felt like I was apologizing to myself.
Zhao Rushu only felt angry and funny, and at the same time he was a little more afraid of Zhao Bai.
How terrifying it would be for a person who could make a python apologize to others.
"Okay, big man. You can go and have a rest. Remember not to come out to scare people at every turn. There are not many people in Lin'an City who are as courageous as Mr. Zhao."
Such flattering words would naturally not come from the mouth of the God of War Zhao Bai.
Zhao Rushu followed the sound and saw that the Sixth Prince was walking over, waving his fan.
When the Sixth Prince looked at him with a smile, Zhao Rushu felt something was wrong.
But he couldn't tell, what was wrong?
He could only stare at the Sixth Prince quietly.
"What's the matter? Master Zhao?"
The Sixth Prince smiled even more gently.
"Master Zhao, won't he suddenly not recognize Zhao Tian?"
"I have met the Sixth Prince and General Zhao."
Zhao Rushu stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and saluted quickly.
"Master Zhao, you don't have to be so polite. It's fate that we meet this time."
Zhao Bai said it very lightly, as if their encounter with Zhao Rushu was really a chance encounter and just fate.
Zhao Rushu tried to force out a smile, but the corner of his mouth twitched, but it turned out to be a terribly ugly, bitter smile.
"Rushu can be regarded as being saved by the prince and the general. I believe that the prince and general Zhao will not invite you to come to the Phoenix Mountain to view the scenery for no reason. If you two have something to say or something to do,
Please just tell me."
Zhao Bai and the Sixth Prince looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"Master Zhao is such a sweet-tempered person. We all know that there is a world of difference between Master Zhao and that Shi Miyuan."
"That's natural, otherwise Mr. Zhao wouldn't be merciful to Fujian and let you, the Sixth Prince, go."
When Zhao Rushu heard that they brought up the old case again, he quickly handed over his hands and said: "Rushu has not apologized to the Sixth Prince for what he did in Fujian before. He is in the world and can't help himself. I hope the Sixth Prince and General Zhao can forgive me."
The Sixth Prince came over.
Zhao Rushu retreated reflexively.
Unexpectedly, the Sixth Prince gently patted Zhao Rushu on the shoulder: "Master Zhao, I know you were following orders at that time, and because you were worried about the safety of the people, you put down the sword in your hand. Zhao Tian is also very grateful."
Zhao Rushu saw the two people in front of him with modest faces and did not regard them as enemies at all. He became more and more confused.
"Sixth Prince, General Zhao, if you two have nothing else to do, Ru Shu will leave first."
He swallowed and simply stated the purpose of his trip.
"Rushu came to the foot of Phoenix Mountain this time because he was led by a man to look for Mr. Xue. Could you please tell me whether you have seen Mr. Xue?"
"Xue Ji? Didn't he go back to his hometown with Shi Gong?"
Zhao Rushu didn't know how to answer the Sixth Prince's question.
He couldn't say that Shi Miyuan asked Xue Ji to follow Zhao Bai. He could only say:
"You two also know that Mr. Xue is a big drinker. Tonight at Mr. Zhao's house, he did not dare to drink too much in front of Mr. Shi. After sending Mr. Shi back to his house, he invited me to go to the Phoenix Tower for a few drinks.
"
"Then what?" The Sixth Prince showed no suspicion at all, but instead asked with interest.
"Then, we go back separately."
Zhao Rushu worked hard to make up a story, blinking his eyes.
"Then Mr. Xue got lost. Someone went to find Mr. Zhao and said he knew Mr. Xue's whereabouts. So Mr. Zhao came here to look for Mr. Xue, right?"
Zhao Rushu nodded.
"As far as I know, Mr. Xue has already gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so Mr. Zhao does not need to worry about his safety."
The Sixth Prince suddenly came closer again.
He was smiling, but Zhao Rushu always felt that there were many things hidden in that smile that he did not want to witness.
When Zhao Rushu was extremely frightened, he heard the Sixth Prince whisper in his ear: "Master Zhao, you should be worried about your own safety now, because Shi Miyuan is now scolding you for your despicable betrayal in front of Xue Ji.
