ninety thousand miles

Chapter 366 Honest Man

"The Palace Supervisor is such a good person, what crazy things have you done to make him be so guarded against you?" Li Chuan mocked.

After he finished speaking, he saw a flash of sympathy in the scribe's eyes.

Okay, he was despised.

Li Chuan did not dare to say that he knew Gong Wuguang well. He had not lived for thirty years in his two lifetimes combined. How could he possibly know someone who had lived for thousands of years.

But he, Li Chuan, could indeed do whatever he wanted in the Qintian Prison run by Gong Wuguang, and the various methods of torture in the Demon Hunting Department were not hidden from him. Even when he wanted to go down to Xin Yuan, Gong Wuguang was obviously a little scared, but he still provided the venue and all conveniences and followed him down.

What else is there to say?

The scribe said: "Dr. Li, Prince Su is waiting for you."

"If I don't go to see Prince Su, how many more similar things will happen in the future?" Li Chuan asked.

"It depends on you," said the scribe.

The scribe said, "Just call me Cui Jushi." Before Li Chuan could say anything, he added, "If you don't want to go to Prince Su's Mansion, you can designate the place."

"What is your name?" Li Chuan asked.

"Okay." Cui Jushi agreed immediately, and said, "Then please Dr. Li and sit in the stone boat for a while. Prince Su will be here soon."

Cui Jushi said: "After you left Yunqiao Township, the people you came into contact with were all close to Gong Wuguang. Although it may not be fair to say this from my mouth, Gong Wuguang is not the good person you imagined. "

"No." Jushi Cui denied, "It's just some relationship."

"If he is really good to you, why doesn't he heal your body directly?" Cui Jushi asked.

"Then let's stay on this stone boat. I originally wanted to come here for a walk." Li Chuan turned around and looked in the direction of the stone boat. At this time, the riverside returned to its previous scene, enjoying the scenery. , the poet composed the poem, the sound of the guqin floated out from the stone boat, which was pleasant and moving.

Li Chuan nodded and looked outside. At this time, the clouds covered the autumn day and the wind became cooler.

Cui Jushi said: "In order to win over you, Gong Wuguang directly conferred an official position on you, which actually ended your career. With your talent and learning, if you wait until Chunwei High School to confer an official position, your starting point will be much better than now. And now, you The future is entirely in his hands.”

In the stone boat, a woman wearing a colorful gauze skirt was playing the piano. Li Chuan took a look at it, then followed Jushi Cui to the second floor and walked straight into the private room.

Then, Cui Jushi took Li Chuan and the two demons onto the stone boat.

"When I took the exam, I was in bad health. I was quite satisfied if I could be a scholar." Li Chuan said.

“I’ve met a lot of people,” Li Chuan said.

Jushi Cui said: "Let me put it another way, Prince Su is not a bad person."

The scribe said, "The road may not be peaceful."

"Should I go back to Qintian Prison directly?" Li Chuan asked.

"Is it okay anywhere?" Li Chuan asked.

After Li Chuan sat down, he asked, "Is this stone boat the property of Prince Su?"

Cui Jushi smiled, and Li Chuan saw sympathy and a condescending tolerance in his smile that made him uncomfortable.

Li Chuan didn't speak.

"Everything is fine here in Dongcheng." Cui Jushi said.

"Because it is difficult to cure and cannot be cured." Li Chuan said honestly.

The only person he knew who could possibly cure him was Lao Xiaokai, who was still locked up in the Ghost Sound Cave in Tianyu Gate.

Li Chuan didn't dare to seek treatment from him.

Thinking of this, Li Chuan said to Cui Jushi sincerely: "I know you may have inquired about some information about me," otherwise he would not have tested him like this, and he also specially selected a day when Wen Guying was not around.

He said: "Maybe your information channels are not accurate and comprehensive enough." Cui Jushi said: "This is not necessarily true."

So Li Chuan also smiled.

Cui Jushi took out a roll of paper. He handed it to Li Chuan and said, "Open it and take a look."

Li Chuan did not answer, but asked: "What is this?"

Cui Jushi said: "You are the heir of the Pattern Sutra, so you should be able to understand it."

Li Chuan was a little hesitant. The last time he took a look at Chang Xiao's handwriting, he had been ill for a long time. Although it was finally resolved successfully, he didn't want to do it again.

"I don't want to look at it, or is it for some other reason?" Cui Jushi asked.

Li Chuan still answered honestly: "I don't dare to look."

Cui Jushi was a little surprised and said, "As far as I know, when you were in Yanqing Mountain, you did many things that even monks would not dare to do."

Li Chuan thought hard and couldn't quite remember what he was doing, but he remembered Feng Huanyi's moist eyes. He said: "If you have to do it, then you have to do it."

So Cui Jushi slowly opened the roll of paper.

Li Chuan took a look and his eyes froze.

A picture was drawn on the paper. The pattern was somewhat similar to a part of a picture in the "Classic of Patterns". It was also somewhat similar to the knife marks that Wen Gu had seen when he used the Yuanhuo Mirror to deduce.

Li Chuan suddenly became terrified.

Jushi Cui obviously anticipated Li Chuan's reaction. He said: "Prince Su discovered a demon ruins and found some things related to the Sutra of Patterns inside."

"So what?" Li Chuan asked.

Cui Jushi said: "Prince Su wants to see you. It is precisely because of this and the multi-layered sealing barrier that we have only broken through some of the outer ones. To go deep inside, we need the help of the successor of "The Pattern Sutra"."

"I didn't know that Prince Su also worked part-time as a tomb robber," Li Chuan said.

"You can treat this as a simple transaction." Cui Jushi said, "You don't have to consider the positions of the Imperial Observatory and Prince Su. Just do us a favor and we will give you a generous reward."

"I refuse." Li Chuan said without hesitation.

"Dr. Li, if you don't think about your own future, have you ever considered..." Cui Jushi's voice lowered, "For example, your neighbors in Yunqiao Township? They escaped the Xuanshui Mountain Monster Disaster. , what if it happens again?”

"Then come." Li Chuan said.

"Don't you care about their lives?" Cui Jushi asked.

"As Prince Su's subordinate, if you can ask this question, then you and Prince Su must not care." Li Chuan said.

Jushi Cui didn't expect Li Chuan to say that.

Li Chuan continued: "Besides, you asked today, if anything happens to Yunqiao Township in the future, I will blame Prince Su."

His expression also changed a little, "You can try another monster disaster. I will definitely be able to bear it, but you can also think about whether you can bear my revenge."

He calls Yunqiao Township his home. Calculating the time, the grapes planted should bear fruit. Maybe he should take the fairy boat back and stay there for a few days, he thought while holding the Tianyin Pot.

"I am a low-ranking official from the eighth rank. I have no father or mother. I have not yet married a wife and have children. I am going to die. What do I have to be afraid of?" Li Chuan suddenly felt very ridiculous. He said, "Prince Su has not yet married." If you do, don’t come. It’s not easy to come out. I’ve been busy for several days and it’s not easy to finally take a day off.”

He felt that Cui Jushi was very unsmart in testing him. The people around Prince Su shouldn't be so unsmart, which only meant that they had no intention of letting him go back alive.

He looked out the window, and the shadows swaying on the river became more and more gloomy.

"Mr. Cui, stop joking with Brother Li." A middle-aged man in frieze-colored casual clothes opened the door curtain and walked in.

It's Prince Su.
