Perhaps it was because he suddenly found the antidote for the bone-eroding poison. After the last relief, Chu Zhiyao had no way to control himself.
Perhaps Chu Zhiyao himself didn't know when he came to Luo Zhaozhao's side.
The empty couch revealed Luo Zhaozhao's inner resistance. Thinking about what happened last night, Chu Zhiyao couldn't help feeling a little lost.
However, the fire was burning so hard that it hurt his heart, liver, and lungs. Although he knew that this was not the right way to do it, his sanity could not help but be invaded, and he fell into endless chaos.
He sat on the couch in a daze. The scent of Luo Zhaozhao was stronger around him. The blood vessels in his brain were beating violently, and the overwhelming heat almost made Chu Zhiyao explode and die.
He punched the bed post with a loud bang, breaking the bed beam and blood oozing from his fist.
Luo Zhaozhao covered his mouth tightly in the cabinet. Such a horrifying scene made Luo Zhaozhao shudder all over. He closed his eyes tighter, and cold sweat kept falling from his forehead, soaking his whole body with sweat.
The inner clothes were soaked, and Chu Zhiyao, who was outside, felt extremely uncomfortable. He rubbed his head frantically and even began to have hallucinations.
There was a terrifying atmosphere between the two people, and in the silent night there was a string that seemed to be about to break at any moment.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Zhiyao's crazy movements gradually stopped. He straightened up, lowered his head, and slowly stood up.
He walked very slowly, his long hair covering his face. When he walked past Luo Zhaozhao's cabinet, he could only hear the sound of the door opening and closing. Chu Zhiyao's footsteps were getting farther and farther away.
After a long time, there was no movement in the room. Luo Zhaozhao felt relieved and took a long breath. The cabinet door was opened lightly and she stepped down.
It was a little cold around him, and Luo Zhaozhao rubbed his arms.
The cabinet door behind him slammed shut with a creak, and behind him, a gaze mixed with coldness and heat suddenly lit up.
A big hand grabbed Luo Zhaozhao's shoulder in the darkness!
She was about to scream when another hand quickly covered her mouth and nose.
Something is breaking in this complicated night.
Something is also dying.
…
After a few days, Xu Qingyi came to bring food to Gu Qingsheng at a fixed time every day, and she became visibly plumper.
At least it's much better than being skinny at that time.
Thanks to him, all the food that Bai Lu sent over the past two days went into Mr. Zhan's stomach.
"Sir, this is the place."
The sound of a jailer's dog legs was heard, and two figures walked over from a distance.
Then a man walked slowly with his belly bulging, and his laughing voice sounded a bit honest.
The figures gradually emerged, and next to the jailer was a fat official who stood straight.
A gleam of light flashed in his narrow eyes, and the two men stood in Zhan Lao's cell.
"My Lord, this is it."
The jailer kicked the cell as he spoke.
"This is the newly appointed Minister of War. He's here to ask you some questions. Please answer them carefully."
As soon as the jailer arrived, Mr. Zhan returned to his previous sickly state, curled up in the shadow of the cell, raised his gray eyes to look at the Minister of War, then lowered his eyes as if he couldn't see.
This attitude annoyed the jailer. He drew the whip from his waist and was about to hit him when the minister of war grabbed his wrist lightly.
"Just be patient."
His tone was also smiling, but it was a little cold.
The jailer's hand was slowly lowered, and the Minister of War stepped forward with a rather gentle attitude.
"My name is Li Yuan, and I'm the newly appointed Minister of War. I'm here to ask a favor of you, old sir."
When he spoke, his words were very polite. It was hard to believe that such a person would be affiliated with the Ministry of War.
Gu Qingsheng raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yuan. The man seemed to have discovered himself and was still talking.
There was indeed a Li Yuan in the previous life, and he was indeed the newly appointed Vice Minister of War.
However, Li Yuan's family lives in the border area, so he needs to travel through mountains and rivers to take up the post.
In his previous life, Li Yuan had become severely dehydrated on the way here due to acclimatization. After finally arriving at the capital of Jinchu, he died as soon as he stepped in.
In fact, he is quite miserable. He retired just after taking office. No matter how you look at it, he will not be able to enjoy the good life.
But I didn't expect to appear here in this life.
In fact, after living a new life, Gu Qingsheng also discovered some patterns.
Some things may change because of your own activity trajectory, but there is no way to change some major things.
Lin Song's death was saved by Miao Lanlan's witchcraft.
But Li Yuan has nothing to do with witchcraft.
Therefore, Li Yuan’s death should be true.
The person before me...
He withdrew his gaze lightly.
No matter what, it has nothing to do with me.
Zhan Ji finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse, lacking energy.
"What is the business of the renowned Minister of War here with me? Is the prisoner in this cell worthy of your attention? I don't recall ever meeting you."
After saying that, he turned his head away again.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know me, but I do know you."
"A famous traveler who has traveled the most places, from the age of twenty-one to fifty years. There is no place in this world that you don't know, Zhan Ji, Mr. Zhan."
He didn't expect Zhan Ji's status to be so high. Gu Qingsheng's only impression of those travelers was that they liked to fight with each other and were unkempt, not much different from beggars.
Zhan Ji didn't answer him. Li Yuan took out a very old cloth bag from his arms. Inside the cloth bag, a piece of yellowed rice paper lay quietly.
"I want to ask Mr. Zhan, after traveling so far, can you recognize this text?"
He respectfully handed over the thing in his hand, but Zhan Ji did not take it, but his eyes were full of inquiry.
Li Yuan was not in a hurry, but just lowered his head again.
"To be honest, my wife was kidnapped by a gangster while washing clothes on East Street three years ago. Her whereabouts remain unknown."
"This letter is the last clue that person left. I want to find out where he is from, but after asking so many people, no one knows."
"I recently heard that Master Zhan came to the capital, so I thought of asking."
Li Yuan described the incident of his wife and children being abducted in a tragic and sorrowful way, living up to his image as an affectionate man to the end.
Even so, it did not impress Mr. Zhan.
He was reluctant to take the letter, and he bent his body for a long time before Li Yuan straightened up and looked at the lips of Mr. Zhan in front of him.
"How can you be so shameless, old man?! It's an honor for you to be chosen by our Minister to help him! And you're still putting on such a big airs?! You're really rebellious!"
Just as he was about to take another step forward, the jailer lashed out with the whip.
