Every day, he would be entangled with Rui Chu, and when he was free, he would say sweet nothings. His days were also very carefree. Thinking about it, even immortals were just like this. Occasionally, I would chat with Kang Xi and have some fun. However, the three month deadline set by the Empress Dowager gave me a headache. Looking at the Empress Dowager's cold face, I felt a chill in my heart. When the time came, I could escape at any time. However, when I thought about how cute Rui Chu might not be able to escape easily, I reluctantly retracted the idea of escaping.
Coincidentally, Imperial Prince Kang sent someone to invite me over again. He said that there's something fun this time and asked me to make a trip.
I asked for leave from the Empress Dowager and followed the guards sent by Prince Kang to his residence. It's obvious that Prince Kang has put in a lot of effort on me and knows that Prince Zheng has generously gifted me a residence. When we met, he pulled me to the stable and pulled out a tall horse. It was covered in white fur and had light red spots on it.
This horse was truly extraordinary. It had a golden bridle, a golden jump stirrups, and a gem inlaid with silver on the saddle. Just the equipment on this horse was probably worth tens of thousands.
I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. Prince Kang could see that I liked it, so he showed off his spirit and introduced it to me, saying," This horse is a famous horse from Dawan that was sent from the Western Regions. It's only two years old. Such a beautiful horse should be ridden by a heroic man like Chief Steward Gui."
I called out,"Let me try riding it", then jumped up and sat firmly on the horse. Pulling on the reins, he trotted around the sand outside the stable. He felt fast and steady. It was really cool. "It would be even better if I could bring the Sky Splitting Halberd to dance a few times.
When Prince Kang saw me, he praised me again. Seeing that I was in a good mood, he set up a banquet to deepen our relationship. I had something on my mind, so I found an excuse to say," Prince Kang, I believe in Buddhism. Do you have a temple hall in your residence? I want to pay my respects before dinner.”
Imperial Prince Kang felt that my thoughts were extremely strange. Who would pray to Buddha before a meal? However, his expression did not change as he pulled me to the temple hall behind the garden. As expected, it was an exquisite hut. The house was lit with sandalwood. Although there were few people who came here, it was still clean and refreshing.
Seeing that I was satisfied, Imperial Prince Kang tactfully left the room and said,"Brother Gui, you pay your respects first. I'll go back and get someone to prepare a banquet. When you're done, just get the servants to bring you to the garden pavilion to find me."
I laughed as I sent Prince Kang away and closed the door. Seeing that the situation inside the room could not be seen from the outside, I rushed straight to the statue of Tathagata worshiped. I touched behind my left ear and found a golden key. Then, I found the square brick where the book was stored. I pulled out a dagger and pried it open. I found the keyhole and inserted it into it.
He pulled the iron cover with one hand to block the arrow from the crossbow and then took out the " 42 Chapters Sutra " wrapped in red silk.
After restoring the mechanism to its original state, he hid the arrow that had fallen to the ground in his sleeve and walked out of the door to call for a servant to look for Prince Kang.
During the banquet, I highly praised Prince Kang's position in front of Kang Xi and his experience in handling matters.
Prince Kang seemed to have met a confidant and drank a thousand cups with me. (To exaggerate, men always boast when they drink.）
After drinking, I bid farewell to Prince Kang and rode the Jade Flower Cong to the residence Prince Zheng gave me. After instructing the servants to feed the horses, he returned to the palace.
Of course, I had to take out the maps from the scriptures. I hid the scriptures and the maps from the three books separately. The scripture was not to be handed over in a hurry. He would wait for three months before handing it over when the Empress Dowager had the intention to kill him.
As I walked to the entrance of the Forbidden City, the word "old friend" popped into my mind.
"Old friends," I thought."Well, the earliest old friends here are Mao Shi Ba and Wei Xiao Bao.
" Eighteen, Xiaobao, I want to see you two. Mao Eighteen is a hero I like. Wei Xiaobao can't die like this. He can't threaten my life now," I thought.
"Zhang Kangnian greets Eunuch Gui! May I know why Eunuch Gui has summoned me?" Zhang Kangnian was called to the Cining Palace by my eunuch.
"Lord Zhang, I would like to ask if the two traitors from before are still around?”I asked casually.
"Chief, the great thief Mao Shiba and the other two have been handed over to the Ministry of Justice to be detained and will be executed after autumn. Did Daren mention them for some reason?”Zhang Kangnian said hesitantly.
"It's nothing important. I wonder if Lord Zhang can bring me to the Ministry of Justice to see those two people. I have something to ask in person.”I thought about it.
Zhang Kangnian gladly accepted the order and said without hesitation," I will lead the way for you. Please follow me out of the palace."”Then, he turned around and left.
To be able to work for me, he really couldn't wait. He couldn't even find an opportunity to do so. This small matter was easy for him.
The supervisor of the Ministry of Justice's prison is called Er Duo. He's a third grade military officer with a full beard. However, from his sharp eyes, I can see that he's a very shrewd person. He's definitely not as rough as he looks. In particular, although he seemed enthusiastic, I could tell from his eyes that he didn't have much of a good impression of me.
After entering the prison of the Ministry of Justice, I realized that the world was so miserable. Miserable howls and hysterical curses filled the prison.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a boundless murderous aura around me. I glanced at the blue veins on Erduo's hand that was pressing on the hilt of the knife. I tried my best to circulate my internal energy to resist.
Zhang Kangnian seemed to have inadvertently blocked the murderous aura in front of me, but the murderous aura disappeared without a trace.
"You really want to kill me! He regretted not bringing his halberd. With the entrance blocked and the people surrounding them, it would be strange if they didn't die. What he regretted the most was that he shouldn't have come here on a whim. Perhaps Er Duo was Ao Bai's accomplice. It's useless to regret it. Just hang in there."
I don't know why Er Duo didn't do anything, but I followed them to Mao Shi Ba and Wei Xiao Bao.
Erduo and Zhang Kangnian exited the cell. I saw the person who had been sentenced to death and was about to be executed.
Do you think people who are about to die will be in a good mood?
Mao Shi Ba was a hero, but he had lost his spirit in the prison. He only showed a slight surprise when he saw me and didn't raise his head.
Wei Xiaobao was so skinny that he looked like he could die at any moment. It was as if moving his eyes was already very difficult.
" Mao Shi Ba, do you have any last words?”I was afraid that Er Duo would torture them after I left, so I was so loud that it could be easily heard outside.
"A real man has no joy in life and no fear in death! I, Mao Shi Ba, have only one regret in my life, and that is that I have never met the Heaven and Earth Society's Chief Chen Jin Nan. If there's a chance, please help me pass a message. Tell him that I admire him very much, but I won't have the chance to serve him anymore.”Mao Shi Ba sighed, his eyes filled with anticipation.
I said," Alright, Mao Shi Ba, if you have the chance to meet Chen Jin Nan, I'll pass you a message.”I came here to find a chance to save him, but now it seems that I can't. I'm afraid that I might not even be able to walk out alive.
Mao Shi Ba nodded at me with gratitude and didn't say anything else.
I braced myself and followed Er Duo and Zhang Kangnian out of the prison.
Seeing the blue sky and the clean air, I realized that life was so beautiful. I knew that I had been reborn again.
It shouldn't be difficult for Erdo to keep Zhang Kangnian and me here. He has countless trusted aides in the Heaven Prison, and it's impossible for us to survive. I just can't figure out why he gave up.
On the way back to the palace, I asked Zhang Kangnian," Sir Zhang, are you interested in taking up a position in the Cining Palace?”
First of all, Zhang Kangnian's excellent performance just now shows that he is also a martial arts master. His reaction and judgment are first-class, and he chose me at the critical moment of life and death. Second, I am alone in the Cining Palace. With his help, I might be able to restrict the Empress Dowager at a critical moment. Thirdly, Zhang Kangnian has shown his intention to get close to me many times.
Zhang Kangnian knew that he had made the right bet. He knew that even if he didn't protect me in the dungeon, Erduo wouldn't let him go after killing me. Instead, he might have a chance of survival if he joined forces with me. "Thank you for your nurturing, Chief! I'm willing to serve you!" he said happily.
I said," I'll report to the Emperor and Empress Dowager later and transfer you to Cining Palace to protect the Empress Dowager.”
