Chapter 60: Poisoning, he is really a smart guy

When Zhong Maoqing saw Cen Songbai coming, he was excited and happy, and helped him into the carriage.

"I thought you couldn't bear to leave the students in the academy."

Cen Songbai sighed:

"Alas, my palms and backs are all made of flesh, aren't you also my student?

I didn’t expect that even at this age, I still couldn’t avoid the things happening in the capital.”

However, the only thing that comforted him was that he met a good student like Zhu Lan who had an extremely high level of comprehension.

With her talent, a teacher like me can only give her some pointers. She will definitely achieve success in the imperial examinations in the future if she stays in Longchang Academy.

Moreover, this boy has a calm temperament, a thorough mind, and understands the overall situation.

If I can enter officialdom in the future, I will definitely be a pillar of the court!

Cen Songbai believed that within a few years, the two would meet again.

…

Everyone watched the carriage that Chang Yunxiao was riding in go away, and only looked away when it was out of sight.

Everyone felt a little lost.

Zhao Sicheng sighed:

"Alas, we came here together, and we were all in good order, but I didn't expect that Old Chang would leave first..."

Xiao Wan pinched him. Why did his words sound so unlucky?

Xu Shiming said: "In fact, we should also be happy for Lao Chang.

Entering the Dali Temple is equivalent to having a regular job, at least it's a stable job.

Unlike us, we don’t even know where the future lies.”

Liang Zhou shrugged, "If we can't go back to modern times, the worst that can happen is that we can just play in the academy for the rest of our lives. At least we have food, drinks and fun."

Everyone was talking incoherently as they walked back, when suddenly they saw Ding Xiaoqiu's figure.

Everyone who won the academy's competition had received a ticket to skip the line at Yuxiang Pavilion.

I originally thought that we could go together when we have time, but I didn’t expect Chang Yunxiao to leave.

Before leaving, Chang Yunxiao left his coupons for them to deal with as they pleased.

Ding Xiaoqiu has always had a good relationship with them, and since there is an extra ticket, he might as well ask him to go along.

…

The residence of the prefect of Jiangzhou.

Bi Chong was sitting on a sandalwood chair in the study with his eyes closed, resting, when a figure in black walked in quietly and without a sound.

Bi Cong seemed to have sensed it, but he didn't even open his eyes.

"Gone?"

Daying took off his hood, revealing a handsome face.

He had deep eyebrows and eyes, especially a hooked nose, and it was obvious that he was not of Central Plains descent.

He spoke in a slightly strange tone:

"I saw the carriage leave the city with my own eyes, and it took two people away from the academy."

"That's not important." Bi Cong opened his eyes and glanced at him.

"Fortunately, this time our government took action and brought the Plague God back to the capital, otherwise our plan would have been exposed sooner or later!"

Daying curled his lips and reluctantly admitted that it was their negligence this time.

Bi Cong jumped up from his chair, looking helpless:

"My lord, your leader placed you two here with me to do my job, not to cause trouble!

You two just met in the academy, but you were so careless that you were overheard by that girl, Zhao Yushi. Otherwise, how could it have turned out like this?"

Daying was obviously lacking in confidence.

"That so-called Sicheng who suddenly appeared has left, and Naji has admitted the crime. Isn't everything fine now..."

"Nothing? If you don't remove the root of the problem, it will sooner or later involve you and me."

Bi Cong took out a packet of medicine from the drawer and threw it in front of Daying.

"You won't be reluctant, will you? I heard your leader mention that she likes you very much."

Daying was a little impatient. What a joke, leader. Why was he still gossiping with others?

He casually put the medicine into his arms.

"Whether she likes it or not is none of my business. I have a crush on someone."

Bi Cong raised his eyebrows and wanted to eat a few more bites of the melon, but the other party had already pushed the door and left.

"Brother Eagle, Brother Eagle!"

The fifteen-year-old young master Bi Wenwen jumped over happily and got close to Daying, who was a head taller than him.

"What were you talking about with my dad again? And are you going out?"

Bi Wenwen has a slender figure and fair skin with a rosy glow, looking like a porcelain doll, which is in sharp contrast to Daying's skin color.

Da Ying reached out and pinched his face, with a look of doting in his eyes.

"It's all about our tribe. Yes, I have to go out and meet someone now."

"It can't be that Naji again..." Bi Wenwen said angrily.

Da Ying smiled.

"Don't think too much, this is the last time. When I come back, I'll bring you your favorite walnut cookies!"

…

The prison of Jiangzhou Prefecture.

The sunlight passed through the tall square windows, divided into pieces by several fences, and illuminated the haystacks on the ground.

There was a sour, moldy smell in the air.

The prison guards drank together the wine they couldn't drink on weekdays, pretending not to notice a cloaked man walking by.

Da Ying carried the food box and walked to the door of a cell and knocked.

Jiang Xueer, no, it should be said that it was Naji, who was imprisoned inside, suddenly looked up, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

Da Ying took out the key to the prison, walked in, put the food box on the ground and opened it.

There are three dishes, one soup, and a bowl of white rice.

"These are all your favorite foods." Daying pushed the food in front of her.

"Don't worry, Master Bi is already making arrangements. He'll be able to find a way to get you out in a few days."

They grew up together in the tribe and later became one of the many adopted sons and daughters of the leader. This time they were sent to the Central Plains with a mission to carry out.

Bi Cong is the internal supporter of their Wuzi tribe.

Naji was arranged to sneak into Longchang Academy under the pseudonym Jiang Xueer because she did not have obvious Hu features and would not easily attract attention.

There was a hint of embarrassment on Naji's face, but when she saw the food, she was still a little hesitant.

She likes Eagle.

I like his handsomeness, but I also like his cunningness.

So she didn't trust Daying either.

"It's not poisonous, just eat it."

Daying grinned, tasted every dish, and even took a small piece of rice.

Seeing that he was fine for a long time, Naji began to eat voraciously.

Daying watched her eat, with an elusive smile in his eyes.

The poisonous rice was all at the bottom, he only ate a little at the top, so of course he was fine.

He is such a clever fellow!

Naji had been hungry for several days and quickly finished the bowl of rice.

She remembered something and dug out the golden lock that she had secretly hidden under the haystack.

“Oh, my identity might have been exposed. Now that Zhao Wenyuan is dead, I’m afraid those people will become suspicious when they think of my identity.

What if they follow up and investigate further..."

The smile on Daying's face froze and he stood up suddenly.

"Why didn't you say so earlier!?"

"I didn't expect that someone would kill someone in the academy so soon..."

She was originally very low-key. If Zhao Wenyuan had not overheard her conversation with Daying and had to be eliminated, she would not have exposed herself in front of so many people.

Besides, the golden lock is usually kept close to the body, and even if ordinary people in the Central Plains see it, they will just treat it as a decoration.

Who would have thought that Qiao Youyou also had it, and the two of them just happened to take the wrong one?

She couldn't tell whether Qiao Youyou would become suspicious.
