In the dark prison, the sound of interrogation in the Pipa Hall had already stopped. Jiaotu locked Chen Ji into the cell next to Mr. Feng and hurriedly "solved the case".

Mr. Feng stood by the iron railing and smiled through the wall: "Jiaotu deliberately led Xuansnake and Baohou to be your enemy. She was worried that you would not be able to make enemies, so she slapped Hai Dongqing under Xuansnake. Although she wanted to interrogate you, when Hai Dongqing saw that there was no torture on you, she would understand everything. Maybe she would treat you as Jiaotu's informant... Be careful, she has a brain than Yunyang."

Chen Ji leaned against the iron railing and said, "It's a pity that Jiaotu and Yunyang are not Mr. Feng. They can only see what is happening in front of them and can't think so far. When everyone can't solve the case, she happily solves the case and seeks credit, and will be missed by the mysterious snake and the treasure monkey."

Mr. Feng said with great interest: "I want to be a chess player?"

Chen Ji replied seriously: "Study."

Mr. Feng asked, "Since you have trouble coming in, let me talk, what do you want to ask me?"

Chen Ji sat leaning against the wall of Mr. Feng's cell next to him and changed into a comfortable position. Mr. Feng simply sat down slowly.

The two of them were separated by a wall, sitting back to back, with the surroundings empty.

Chen Ji asked in a narrow voice: "How many people are there under the White Dragon's mask?"

When Mr. Feng heard Chen Ji’s question, he smiled slightly: “I’ll ask me the most important secret as soon as I come up. Wouldn’t I lay the groundwork?”

Chen Ji repeated his question seriously: "How many people are under the White Dragon's mask?"

Mr. Feng jokingly counted it on his fingers: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven..."

Chen Ji was stunned, so many?

Mr. Feng seemed to see Chen Ji's expression through the wall, and he laughed: "It's not that complicated. In the nine years of Jianing, the title of White Dragon was first mentioned in the zodiac sign. It was the first white dragon. But this white dragon later had something more important, so I took the mask and became the second. Now I want to leave, so I have a third one. We have not always had their own eras and their own missions at the same time."

Chen Ji quickly thought about what Mr. Feng said.

The first white dragon was still alive, but for some reason, he had to take off his mask and do other things.

What is the reason?

Going far away? Or have you gained a higher status? Or are you having a problem with your practice path?

Since the ninth year of Jianing, the mask is there and the white dragon is there. Other zodiac signs come and go. When the night sheep dies, there will be Yun sheep, and when the cunning rabbit dies, there will be Jiao rabbit. Only the title of Bailong will not change again.

Chen Ji said in confusion: "Who is the White Dragon now?"

Mr. Feng said with great interest: "What are you asking about this?"

Chen Ji said solemnly: "I had a deal with 'Bailong' before, I helped Bailong do things, and Bailong helped me save people. Now that someone has changed, is this promise valid?"

Mr. Feng said, "So you are worried about this... don't worry, the promise is still valid, and he is more trustworthy than me. This new white dragon is more upright than me. I'll give you a piece of advice. If you can only trust one person in this ritual supervisor from now on, it must be him."

Chen Ji's pupils shrank slightly.

Who is the new Bailong? He can become the only person he can trust in the Mission Division? Is Mr. Feng telling the truth or lies?

Mr. Feng did not plan to continue this topic and said casually: "Give you two more opportunities to ask, which can be regarded as a gift before leaving. The opportunity is rare. If you already have an answer in your heart, don't ask again."

In the long corridor of the imperial prison, Chen Ji looked up at the top of the cell and swallowed the problem at his mouth.

He thought about the question he wanted to ask most for a long time, but Mr. Feng did not urge him. He hummed an unknown little song in his nasal voice, and tapped his knees with his fingers.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Ji finally asked, "What is my master doing in the north? Is there any danger?"

Mr. Feng said curiously: "It's such a rare opportunity, don't you ask me if it's related to me? Your master has already gone to Jingchao, and you may not have the chance to meet again in this life. What do you care about him?"

Chen Ji repeated again: "What is my master going to the north to do? Is there any danger?"

Mr. Feng sighed: "Your master... went to kill someone for you."

Chen Ji was stunned: "Kill someone? Who should I kill?"

Mr. Feng explained: "I can't ask about your master's affairs casually. Before he left, he only said casually that there is a mountain in your path to practice that you are unable to cross. He has never done anything as your master, and he feels guilty, so he goes to find a way to help you move that mountain away."

Chen Ji sat up in shock.

A mountain in the path to practice?

Now, only Old Man Yao in the world knows that he is practicing sword-like skills, and even Mr. Feng doesn’t know who Old Man Yao is going to kill.

There are only three people in the sword sect, one is Chen Ji, the other is the person who has been searching for many years but failed. The third is Lu Yang, the most majestic mountain in the hearts of all the officials in the world.

Chen Ji said in a dry voice: "Are my master sure?"

Mr. Feng said lazily: "I'm not sure. But as long as I can seriously injure the other party and delay him for you for three years, it will be an acceptable result."

That mean little old man always said that everyone doesn’t have to have a master-apprentice relationship, but he is the one who feels the most passionate.

Seeing Chen Ji silent, Mr. Feng urged: "Okay, ask the last question."

Chen Ji thought for a moment and asked in one breath: "Mr. Feng will definitely not be beheaded this time, so what should you do after you get out of your way?"

Mr. Feng sneered: "You always think about what others do, and why don't you ask yourself what you do. Do you have the answer in your heart?"

Chen Ji was silent.

Mr. Feng lowered his head and picked up a straw from the ground and tore it apart in strands: "In the year I was admitted to the Jinshi period, I wrote an article "Twelve Strategies for Pingbei" during the palace examination. What the strategy said in the strategy is that the six strategies to stabilize the country and the six strategies to resist foreign countries were achieved by my efforts for more than ten years. However, the palace examination was not as good as a complimentary article by the eldest son of your second family in the Chen family. At that time, I knew that there was no use for learning Confucian classics."

Mr. Feng smiled: "As for what I want to do, I have told you a long time ago..."

Chen Ji recalled what Mr. Feng said.

In Guyuan, Mr. Feng once pointed to a light of dawn in the distance and said, five years later, when the scenery was heading south, I wore my armor and walked northward, drinking horses in Beihai.

At this time, Mr. Feng also had doubts: "No, you didn't come to me to ask about things... You just made an excuse to enter this imperial prison? What's the imperial prison that attracts you?

Chen Ji was sure that Mr. Feng did not know his way to Shanjun, so the other party did not know what the Bagua lanterns on the wall of the imperial prison locked.

This is a secret that only Shanjun knows.

Before he could speak, footsteps came from the long corridor.

The two prisoners came to Mr. Feng's cell and said calmly: "The prisoner Feng Wenzheng has arrived, and the imperial prison sentence has arrived. Immediately the punishment of the ruling will be punished."

Chen Ji turned around in shock, wasn’t he going to kill the prison guard?

The prison guards usually have to be detained until the autumn after the death. If anyone has made meritorious service or has a holy heart to support him until his birthday is on pardon, he will never die.

Why is it so sudden?

Mr. Feng supported the ground with his hands, slowly stood up and stretched out his hands, allowing the two prisoners to put shackles on him and walked to the deepest part of the imperial prison.

When he was escorted through Chenji's cell, he smiled and said, "Boy, you will be in the future."

Chen Ji stood up and silently stared at the other party's back as he walked away.

I don't know when I will see you again this farewell.

...

...

Jiaotu solved the case, but the Secret Spies Department did not immediately let the Yulin Army go. The Secret Spies Department waited for the parents of these Yulin Army to submit their letters of fame and could only leave after they were handed over.

Qi Jingjing and Li Xuan were the first to leave, and then his father was Zhou Chong, who served as the magistrate of Jinling, and his grandfather was Duobao, who served as the chief of Dali Temple.

The soldiers of the Yulin Army were taken away one by one, and in the end only more than 20 people from poor families were left, including Chen Ji.

The Chen family was like deaf and dumb, forgetting him in the imperial prison.

Chen Ji sat in the dim cell, not knowing how long he had been sitting.

one day?

Or two days? The imperial prison has no sunshine, and the sound of roosters crowing and gongs hitting people cannot be heard, and time has become a kind of nothingness.

Chen Ji looked up at a small spider pulling a white silk on the stone wall above his head, forming a complete spider web waiting for prey.

At some point, Hai Dongqing, who was slapped by the rabbit, stood outside the iron railing, with half of his face swollen, quietly examining Chen Ji in the cell: "Those who have a little family background have been taken out. It is rare to leave you, a person with a Chen family background, in the imperial prison."

Chen Ji's eyes moved away from the spider and slowly looked at Hai Dongqing outside the iron railing: "This adult is busy with affairs, so I don't think he came here to tease me."

Hai Dongqing said carelessly: "Didn't Ning Xin say that you are interrogated? Why are there no injuries on your body?"

Ning Xin?

Chen Ji suddenly realized that Ning Xin was the real name of Jiaotu.

He said curiously: "Yunyang..."

Hai Dongqing's voice was slightly deeper: "He is not a zodiac sign, where did the Yunyang goat come from?"

Chen Ji said calmly: "What's his name?"

Hai Dongqing said in confusion: "You don't even know what his name is. What is your relationship with Jiaotu and Yunyang? Are you the informant of their subordinates?"

Chen Ji did not answer.

He and Jiaotu and Yunyang are indeed in superior and subordinate relationships now, but they think differently from each other.

Hai Dongqing outside the iron railing saw that he didn't say anything, and thought for a moment and said, "You are helping Ning Xin solve the case this time? Did you take away the account book of Huitong Pavilion and help her find the ink ingots that the prince of Goryeo has hidden poison?"

Chen Ji still didn't answer.

Hai Dongqing said meaningfully: "Ning Xin and Zijin have made merits from you, and they don't care about taking you out. They are really cold-hearted. The secret spies under their command have not even been promoted to Hai Dongqing. These two people are just trying to grab the credit for themselves and are not willing to share the benefits of their own people at all. When will you succeed with them? Now I have money and power as well. Even if I put my head on my belt, it is worth it."

Chen Ji said sincerely: "Lord Xuanshe is indeed far better than those two."

Hai Dongqing smiled with satisfaction: "Since that's the case, are you willing to follow Lord Xuanshe? When he is promoted to the three zodiac signs, he will naturally have to cultivate his own team. If you are capable enough, this Lijian will naturally have a place for you. Why follow Ning Xin and Zijin to be a small informant?"

Chen Ji thought for a moment: "To be honest, I am not the informant of Jiaotu and Yunyang, I just collect money and do things."
