wait a minute

Chapter 33
Ye Jingtang sat beside the tea table, tapped his fingers on the side of the chair, and waited for Shang Jianli to come back.

As a result, after waiting for a while, footsteps sounded outside the door, and then a figure appeared at the door.

The figure is tall and slender, and the makeup is as gorgeous as the last time I saw it. Even if you don't look at the cheeks, the 'fat-headed dragon' that is about to emerge can be recognized at a glance.

"Prince Jing?!"

Ye Jingtang originally stood up to greet him with a happy face, but immediately his expression froze again. Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the red sandalwood box in front of him...

(0_0)!

Ye Jingtang wanted to hide 'Mr. Jiao' quickly, but this move was tantamount to deception, so he had to bite the bullet and pretend to be natural.

Dongfang Liren slightly raised his hand, told his followers to retreat, and entered the tea room alone:

"Young Master Ye is so agile, it's really beyond my expectations."

"Where where..."

Ye Jingtang's eyes were embarrassed, and he used his body to cover the red sandalwood box.

Dongfang Li Renda Fangfang went to Yejingtang and sat down. Although he knew what was in the red sandalwood box, he still acted unexpectedly and asked curiously:
"What is this? A meeting gift for this king? Mr. Ye really has a heart..."

As he spoke, he wanted to take the red sandalwood box.

As a result, a rebellious hand directly pressed the box.

Snapped!
Ye Jingtang pressed the box with one hand, his expression was really hard to describe, he tried his best to explain calmly:
"Your Highness misunderstood. This is something I borrowed from Wang Zongqi to catch thieves, um...not very clean..."

Do you know it's not clean?

Dongfang Liren thought so in his heart, but his expression was quite serious:

"This king is in charge of the black yamen. What dirty things have you never seen before? This king is curious, what kind of wonderful thing does Ye Gongzi use to capture the Yanzhou thief's wingless owl..."

Talking about pumping with both hands.

I go……

Ye Jingtang can't compete with Prince Jing, so he can only explain in advance:

"It was Mr. Wang Qiqi who made a move and gave me an idea. Inside..."

wow-

The wooden box was opened, and the sharp-edged 'Mr. Jiao' showed his true face.

Even if Dongfang Liren was mentally prepared, when he saw the lifelike, thick and long stick, his majestic expression still froze, and there was a faint blush on his face.

click -

Dongfang Liren quickly closed the box, not angry but arrogant, looking at Ye Jingtang with a look in his eyes that said "I didn't see it, you look good, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!".

Ye Jingtang's scalp was numb, and he felt that the image he managed to establish was completely ruined. He took out a booklet from his sleeve, and changed the subject:

"This is what I found on my body when I caught the wingless owl yesterday. It should be the 'experience of qinggong' in the rumors in the world. Today I made a special trip to present it to Prince Jing."

Dongfang Liren was acting to amuse Ye Jingtang, when he heard this, he was slightly taken aback:
"Although the Longtan tourmaline is valuable, it is still a vulgar item. You can still understand it. This item is the most precious treasure in the world. Are you so willing to offer it to me?"

"I copied a copy last night, I just hope His Highness will not inform Jieyun Palace of this matter."

Dongfang Liren was stunned, and didn't take the brochure: "I like your character, and you are honest enough. But this thing is really hard to find in the Jianghu, but I don't need it. I really want to learn Lu Jieyun's lightness kung fu." , send a letter to King Yan, and Lu Jieyun will come to Beijing to teach in person. You can take this thing with confidence."

Ye Jingtang generously showed his lightness kung fu experience to King Jing, firstly because he didn't want Hei Ya to have ideas, and secondly because he was worried that the 'stealing master' would be intercepted by Yungong and come to his door.

With Prince Jing's words, Ye Jingtang naturally felt relieved.

Dongfang Liren took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and put it on the tea table:
"You take this too, and hand over the fugitive bandits. The stolen goods recovered without naming by the court will be returned to the arresters. This king will not intervene. This is the rule of the black government."

Ye Jingtang took the jade pendant, but saw that it was the 'Longtan Tourmaline' that he got last night:
"This item is a family heirloom of Shuiyun Jiantan. King Jing gave it to me. Is it a bit..."

"The Zhou family lost something, and they didn't report it to the officials themselves. How can this king take the initiative to offer it back? If you don't dare to take it, you can return it to the Zhou family. If the reward is too small, this king will help you." Justice."

Ye Jingtang understood the meaning and accepted the jade pendant with a smile:
"Thank King Jing for the reward. Then shall I go to see Qiu Tianhe now and talk about learning sword skills?"

Dongfang Liren wanted to see how good Ye Jingtang's comprehension was, so he spoke after a little deliberation:

"You are talented in martial arts. Now that you have obtained Lu Jieyun's lightness kung fu, go back and study it hard. When you gain something, I will compete with you to see how much you have learned from Lu Jieyun."

If Ye Jingtang wants to enter the palace to dig treasures, he will definitely need Prince Jing's help. Naturally, he will not refuse such a thing to enhance his friendship:

"Okay, I'll come to visit Prince Jing again in three days, let's compete in lightness kung fu..."

What?
Dongfang Liren frowned slightly, looking at Ye Jingtang:

"Three days?!"

Ye Jingtang realized the problem, and changed his words:
"Three days may be too short, how about seven days?"

"..."

Dongfangli is so old, this is the first time he heard that martial arts can be calculated by days!
Although Yejingtang seems to have a solid foundation, Lu Jieyun's experience in lightness kung fu is a field that can only be touched by a master at the beginning. First, get started with lightness kung fu, and then turn the experience into your own use. Seven years is considered fast. What can you do in seven days? ?
Dongfang Liren was silent for a while, but still nodded:
"Forget it, after three days, let's discuss the perception of lightness kung fu. It will also be beneficial for you to learn this experience. You can go to see Qiu Tianhe, discuss with him, and see if he is willing to teach you the sword technique in exchange for the opportunity to improve your life."

Ye Jingtang got up to say goodbye, but wanted to get the red sandalwood box, but saw Prince Jing raised his hand and pressed the red sandalwood box:

"Let the following people return it, you can go directly."

Ye Jingtang knew that Wang Chihu was Prince Jing's eldest cousin, so he was convinced of this, and after bowing his hands, he left the tea room by himself.

It was raining outside.

Ye Jingtang followed Shang Jianli and went to the dungeon to meet Qiu Tianhe, but when he walked through the corridor and came near Mingyu Tower, he suddenly felt that someone was looking at him.

Following his feeling, Ye Jingtang raised his head to look at the top of Mingyu Tower, and saw a woman wearing a home skirt on the top of Mingyu Tower, who had just turned around.

He thought it was the maid of the palace who was secretly watching his beauty, but he didn't take it to heart...

……
-
The dark dungeon is full of ghosts, and a few dim butter lamps look like will-o'-the-wisps from a distance.

Ye Jingtang hung the knife behind his waist, walked slowly through the Yousheng Tunnel, and came to the mouth of the well on the second floor underground.

Inside the stone prison, Qiu Tianhe had disheveled hair, still maintaining the posture he saw last time, sitting against the wall, silently.

wow-

The chains on the iron fence were unlocked, Shang Jianli waited at the mouth of the well, and Ye Jingtang jumped into it.

Qiu Tianhe opened his eyes and saw the descendant of the old man, he felt kind in his heart, but his expression was quite calm:

"Why are you here again? What do you want to ask this time?"

Ye Jingtang landed on the ground smoothly, untied the knife from the Lilong ring on the back of his waist, and placed it horizontally on his knees:
"I have been practicing swords since I was a child, and I have always admired Hero Qiu. I came here today because I want Hero Qiu to teach him how to use swords."

?

Qiu Tianhe raised his eyebrows slightly, sat up a little bit straighter, looked at Ye Jingtang, as if considering Ye Jingtang's intentions.

Ye Jingtang did not hide anything, and said directly:
"After learning the sword technique, Hero Qiu has the grace to guide me. I can't just sit back and watch Hero Chou go to prison. So I discussed with King Jing. I will learn the sword technique of Hero Qiu and pass it on to King Jing; in exchange, King Jing The Vengeful Hero is released from prison and retired in Beijing."

"..."

Qiu Tianhe understood the meaning - it was to save him.

For this hard-won opportunity, Qiu Tianhe shook his head and refused without thinking:

"Prince Jing is very scheming, plotting against this old man's saber technique, and even using this old man as a threat to make you serve as his saddle in the future. This old man would rather die in prison than let her succeed. You are so determined, boy."

"I'm a good man. I don't have a criminal record. It's a blessing to be appreciated by the court. It's better than licking blood at the edge of the river and lake. Hero Qiu doesn't have to worry about my future."

Qiu Tianhe naturally knew that it was a blessing to be appreciated and reused by the court, but as long as he walked out of the dungeon, it would be like putting a rope around Ye Jingtang's neck for no reason, and he would have concerns about doing things in the future.

Ye Jingtang has outstanding talent and is a descendant of an old man. In order to save him from being controlled by others, how will he face his old man in a hundred years?
"You want to serve the imperial court, that's your business. I don't know you the same way, and I don't want to remember your favor. If I really want to go out, I can teach Prince Jing the sword technique myself."

Ye Jingtang had a bit of a headache. After a little silence, he noticed that the wound on the top was just listening outside. He didn't look down, so he rubbed his finger on the scabbard, wrote the word "Zheyunli", and said at the same time:
""Tianhe Dao" has a great reputation, but it has never been ranked first in the sword art. Qiu Daxia is famous all over the world. He is already the most outstanding successor of this sword. There is still a gap between him and the sword leader. Instead of letting this sword be buried in the dungeon Why don't you let me come down and try to see if I can improve the status of "Tianhe Knife" in the Jianghu?"

This scene full of quackery is meant to be heard by Shang Jianli.

Seeing the name written by Ye Jingtang's fingers, Qiu Tianhe's eyes changed obviously - he had taught Zheyunli the sword technique, knew Zheyunli's temperament, valued love and righteousness, he was arrested for covering Zheyunli, Zheyunli They will definitely try to save him.

Although he didn't know how Ye Jingtang in front of him got on the line with Zhe Yunli, but Ye Jingtang's ability to write this name showed that he was with Zhe Yunli.

Zheyunli is the apprentice of the leader of Pingtian sect, and the Pingtian sect is a rebel who supports himself.

Ye Jingtang and the gang of rebels are of course rebels too!
Thinking of this, Qiu Tianhe suddenly "understood" Ye Jingtang's intentions—Ye Jingtang was a rebel from the Pingtian Sect. He secretly infiltrated the black office and became a "hidden stake" for the Pingtian Sect's great plan to restore the country. He needed his sword He can't please King Jing and break into the top of the Wei Dynasty.Rescuing him from prison was just a matter of convenience!

That being the case, he stubbornly refused to leave. Not only was he unable to help the younger generation, but he also ruined the long-term plans of Pingtian Sect and Ye Jingtang...

Thinking of this, Qiu Tianhe looked at the young Ye Jingtang in front of him again, and couldn't help sighing in his heart:

What a big move!
At a young age, he went deep into the enemy's abdomen, secretly strategized, and waited for the time to compete in the world.This kind of ambition, this kind of courage, is really formidable for young people...
