"Huh?" Nanfeng tilted his head and looked sideways, "Has this rice porridge been touched by Tianmingzi?"
"I don't recognize Tianmingzi." The young woman shook her head.
"That's the Taoist priest wearing a turban." Nanfeng said.
"Yeah." The young woman nodded.
"What did he put in the porridge?" Nan Feng asked.
The young woman shook her head slowly, "I don't know, he just stopped me and took away the food box."
Nan Feng didn't ask any more questions. He used his chopsticks to stir the rice porridge in the bowl and found nothing unusual. He put down the bowl and chopsticks and picked up the porridge jar and smelled it. There was a vague pungent smell of herbs. Most of the pungent medicines were smooth. The most common gastrointestinal herb is Bispermum, which is also commonly known as Croton.
Naturally, Tianmingzi didn't dare to poison him to death, but he was scolded by him the day before yesterday and was so angry that it made sense to give him some laxatives to give him diarrhea.
"Is it poisonous?" The young woman was confused and curious.
Nanfeng shook his head, "It's not poisonous. This guy put croton in the porridge to make me have diarrhea."
The young woman was relieved after hearing this and asked softly, "Did you offend him?"
"Did you see his bald head? I did it." Nanfeng was not without pride. Although he had lost his bun, he still had half a foot of hair left. Unlike Tianmingzi, he had no hair left at all.
"Why did you want to shave his hair?" the young woman asked curiously.
"He offended me," Nanfeng said casually, "His hair wasn't shaved, I burned it with fire. If it was shaved, it wouldn't be that clean."
What Nanfeng said was interesting, and the young woman raised her sleeves and smiled.
Seeing that this young woman had a good character, Nan Feng casually asked, "Hey, what's your name?"
The young woman took it for granted that she came from a poor family and did not hesitate, "Gao Yingchun, what about you?"
"My name is Nanfeng." Nanfeng said. What the young woman said must be the truth. If she was lying, she would not use such a rustic name.
"Why are you locked up by the master?" Gao Yingchun put away the dishes in the square hole. There was laxative in the porridge, so Nanfeng naturally wouldn't eat it.
"I offended him." Nanfeng took the porridge jar, walked to the toilet and poured some of the rice porridge inside, but not all of it. Tian Naruko would be suspicious if he poured it all.
"If you offend the master, will the master treat you as a guest?" Gao Yingchun was confused.
"Are all your distinguished guests locked up in the cellar?" Nanfeng handed the jar out.
"Yes." Gao Yingchun nodded, "After I go out, if he asks me if you have eaten rice porridge, how should I answer?"
"Just say I have a bad appetite and don't eat much." Nanfeng said.
"Yes." Gao Yingchun nodded, put the bowls and chopsticks into the food box, picked them up and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." Nanfeng stopped her, and when Gao Yingchun turned around, he said, "You haven't lied at first glance. If I really ate porridge, how could you get out so fast?"
Gao Yingchun suddenly realized what he said and put down the food box.
"How old are you this year?" Nanfeng asked. He tried to avoid talking to Gao Yingchun before because he didn't want to hurt her. Now that he has said it, he doesn't care if he says more or less.
"Nineteen." Gao Yingchun said, and then asked, "What about you?"
"Eighteen, where is this place?" Nanfeng asked.
Gao Yingchun seemed not to have been warned or warned by Li Chaozong, nor did he hide it, "This is the master's other courtyard."
"What boundary is here?" Nanfeng asked.
"Chang'an, you don't know?" Gao Yingchun was a little surprised.
"I know this is Chang'an, but I don't know where it is. How far is it from Dali Temple?" Nanfeng spoke untruthfully.
"Two streets to the west is Dali Temple." Gao Yingchun said.
Nan Feng had wandered around the east city of Chang'an with Fatty before. As soon as Gao Yingchun said that, he immediately found this area in his memory. Not far to the east is the palace. There are many large courtyards nearby, where all the princes and dignitaries live.
Seeing that Nan Feng was silent, Gao Yingchun took the initiative and said, "I think although the master locked you up here, he was never really angry with you. You and the master are not together, so I asked him to let you go."
"What did Li Chaozong tell you?" Nanfeng asked.
Gao Yingchun's face turned red, he lowered his head and shook his head, "I didn't say anything, just asked me to serve you with all my heart."
After saying that, feeling a little embarrassed, he picked up the food box and left quickly.
"Don't leave in a hurry, come here." Nanfeng waved to welcome the spring in the stone room.
Gao Yingchun stopped when he heard the sound and turned back.
Nanfeng leaned towards the square hole and whispered, "No matter who asks you, don't tell them that you talked to me, just say that I ignored you."
Seeing the confusion on Gao Yingchun's face, Nanfeng explained, "It is impossible to resolve the conflict between me and Li Chaozong. If he doesn't get what he wants, he will kill me. If he knows that you are too close to me, , he will kill you too."
"Although I am a man of martial arts, I am very kind and would not do this." Gao Yingchun shook his head.
Seeing that Gao Yingchun was unsophisticated, Nanfeng shook his head helplessly, "Okay, believe it or not, let's go, let's go."
Gao Yingchun left anxiously.
As long as some things have a beginning, you can look forward to the end. There is no doubt that Gao Yingchun is a pawn of Li Chaozong. Li Chaozong will make her move sooner or later, and Li Chaozong may take Gao Yingchun's life. Come to threaten him. If he is not threatened, Gao Yingchun will die.
In the final analysis, he wanted to take advantage of his kindness. This is a very insidious approach. Although he had no obligation to save Gao Yingchun's life, Gao Yingchun lost his life because of him. If I promise, I will not kill Boren. Boren died because of me.
The biggest role of foresight is to prepare early, but although he can guess the outcome, he cannot guess what will happen in the middle. Whether to save or not to save depends on how things develop.
Tianmingzi never came down, maybe because he was scared after being scolded yesterday. When he got worried, Nanfeng told him how he came here.
At noon, Gao Yingchun came down again, bringing rice porridge, this time yellow rice porridge.
"Did Tianmingzi ask you to make this?" Nanfeng asked. Tianmingzi probably wanted to disgust him with the appearance of yellow rice porridge.
"Yes, but he hasn't touched it. Eat it quickly." Gao Yingchun helped Nanfeng fill a bowl.
After eating porridge and rice, Gao Yingchun handed over a towel soaked in water. Nanfeng wiped his face and went back to sleep.
At the second watch, I vaguely heard noise coming from outside. This stone room was very soundproof. I could only hear someone shouting outside, but I couldn't clearly hear what they were shouting.
The next day, it was Li Chaozong's turn, but Li Chaozong still didn't come down, but Gao Yingchun came down on time to deliver food to him.
He has been locked up here and has no idea what happened outside. Gao Yingchun became the only way for him to learn about the outside world. According to Gao Yingchun, there was a fire in the other courtyard last night. Fortunately, it was discovered early and the fire was put out in time. There was no catastrophe.
In autumn and winter, the weather is dry and fires are prone to occur, but now it is the transition period between spring and summer, and fires do not occur frequently. The fire last night was most likely caused by arson. The most likely reason is that Master Ba invited reinforcements. The purpose of the arson should be It was to fish in troubled waters and rescue him.
However, this matter seems reasonable and reasonable, but in fact it is also unreasonable, because if Master Ba moves to call for reinforcements, he will definitely go to Fatty first. According to Fatty's temperament, the most likely thing is to rush in directly to fight Li Chaozong, and he should not set a fire. , because setting a fire can easily arouse the enemy, and also make Li Chaozong take precautions. This matter is not like the fat man's style.
After thinking about it carefully, I felt that there was something fishy about this matter. It was very likely that the thief shouted to catch the thief. This fire was probably set by Li Chaozong himself. The purpose was to create the illusion that someone was rescued but was unsuccessful, so as to destroy the people he was waiting for rescue. hope.
After saying a few words, Gao Yingchun went up, then came back again and took away the toilet.
After competing with Li Chaozong and Tianmingzi for a while, Li Chaozong probably thought that he would not gain anything in a short period of time, so he changed his strategy and left him here to dry out, trying to slowly polish his spirit.
Tian Mingzi must have been frightened by his scolding, and couldn't think of how to deal with him for a while. He should have been thinking hard about strategies for the past few days, but he didn't come down.
At first, Nanfeng didn't feel anything bad, but after seven or eight days, it started to feel dull. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, people like to live in groups, and few people can bear to live alone, especially in such a depressing and closed place. of small space.
At this point, he began to admire Li Chaozong. Li Chaozong made this move very cleverly. Even though he knew that Li Chaozong would use Gao Yingchun to blackmail him in the future, he spent more and more time talking to Gao Yingchun every day.
Gao Yingchun is also willing to talk to him. Why he is willing to talk to him is unknown to Nanfeng, but one thing is certain, that is, Gao Yingchun talks to him because he likes to talk to him from the bottom of his heart, rather than being instructed by Li Chaozong. and instruct.
After staying up for a few more days, Gao Yingchun brought news that there were more than a dozen nursing homes in the other courtyard and several dogs. All the people and dogs died last night. I don’t know how they died, but they only know that they died. very quiet.
It was certain that what Gao Yingchun brought in was all true news and things that had indeed happened, but this did not mean that Zhuge Chanjuan was here. This was also part of Li Chaozong's plan, but what he didn't know was that the fat man had no connection with Zhuge Chanjuan. , no one knows where Zhuge Chanjuan is now. Since no one knows, how to invite her to come to rescue.
In addition to this news, Gao Yingchun also brought another news. Tian Naruko left the other courtyard yesterday evening, bringing a heavy baggage with her. As for where she went, she didn't know. She didn't know whether he would come back or not.
Even though he knew that Li Chaozong was wearing down his energy, his energy was still weakening little by little. It had been almost half a month since he was captured. If he were outside, half a month would not be considered a long time, but being trapped here, suppressed and silent, It's really like a year.
Just when Nanfeng was bored, Tian Naruko's voice came from the exit, "Mad dog, are you dead yet?"
"Bastard, where have you been these past few days?" Hearing Tianmingzi's voice, Nanfeng immediately became energetic and jumped up. Great, he finally found something to relieve his boredom.
Just when he was about to continue teasing, he heard Tianmingzi talking to someone else. It was a woman's voice, a bit talkative, not Gao Yingchun.
Feeling doubtful, he walked to the square hole and looked out. After a while, Tianmingzi came down, followed by a strange woman. The woman was different from the Central Plains woman, with blue eyes, yellow hair, and a very tall figure. He is tall, half a head taller than Tian Naruko. He is wearing strange foreign clothes. Judging from his age, he must be around forty years old.
"Goddess, that's him." Tianmingzi pointed his hand to guide the wind.
"Is this the kind of virtue your goddess has?" Nanfeng asked with a smile.
The foreign woman thought she understood Nanfeng's words, sneered at him twice, and then said to Tian Naruko in broken Chinese, "Open the door..."
