There were only two oil lamps burning in the dark apprentice's dormitory.

Chen Ji was lying on the bunk. He had changed into clean clothes and had white cloth wrapped around his chest and thighs. The entire apprentice's dormitory was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine.

Such a strong smell of Chinese medicine, like a dying breath.

But Chen Ji didn't have time to think about this. He was unconscious for a day and a night, and too many things happened.

Before he fell into coma, the Ningchao Secret Intelligence Department led by Jin Zhu had found witnesses and was investigating the direction of Wu Hongbiao's escape.

Now that Chen Ji has not been arrested, there are two possibilities: either the Secret Service investigation was slow, there were few pedestrians on the rainy night last night, no new witnesses were found, and Wu Hongbiao has not been caught; or Wu Hongbiao has been arrested and sent to prison. , but the traces have not yet been revealed.

If it's the former, Chen Ji still has room for redemption, but if it's the latter, Chen Ji can't go into the inner prison to save people or silence him, right?

Moreover, even if Wu Hongbiao was not arrested.

Chen Ji was seriously injured, and Wu Hongbiao was also seriously injured. Chen Ji was treated, but Wu Hongbiao was not treated.

Not to mention healing, the other party was hiding in the backyard of the cloth shop and couldn't even stutter...

While she was thinking about it, Princess Baili turned around and went to wash the towel in the basin in the house, then wring it out and put it on Chen Ji's forehead, replacing the original one.

He even washed the changed towel again, raised his stained arm, and wiped his armpit to cool down.

"Uh, Princess, what are you doing?" Chen Ji was particularly surprised.

"You still have a fever," Princess Baili glared at She Dengke and Liu Quxing: "Two big men can't even do a small job. Your master asked them to put a towel on you to cool down, but they couldn't even do it. I couldn't even wring out the towel and put it on your face, and I didn't know how to change the cloth wrapped around the wound."

She Dengke and Liu Quxing bowed their heads in embarrassment: "We have done this before."

Bai Li said: "You can't be so careless, how can anyone take care of patients like this!"

The prince sighed and said: "Bai Li, you can't do these things..."

Bai Li also glared at him: "In Donglin Academy, gentlemen are not allowed to take care of the book boy. Isn't that why I take care of you when you are sick?"

"But Chen Ji is an outsider after all," the prince said anxiously: "If word spreads about this, how can you get married?"

"Get married?" Princess Baili frowned: "I'm just staying with my father and mother, why do I need to get married? I'm confused. Since last year, you all have been talking about getting married, so why do I have to get married?"

Liang Gouer said quietly from the side: "Because everyone should have their own retribution..."

Prince: "..."

Bai Li: "..."

Liang Maoer quickly covered his mouth and pulled him into the yard: "Brother, shut up."

Chen Ji was lying on the bed, looking at Bai Li, who was dressed in white. He went to Hongyi Lane with his brother in the middle of the night, went to a gambling house, and made friends with people in the world. He stood upright, like a heroine who was never sloppy or restrained in doing things.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere in the room, She Dengke hurriedly said: "I'm going to make food for Chen Ji. Are you hungry? I'll make more for everyone to eat together."

Liang Gouer rushed back into the house and raised his hand: "Bacon, I saw bacon in the kitchen."

Liang Maoer also said shyly: "I'll just eat some pickles and drink some porridge."

The prince thought thoughtfully: "Tofu, hotpot tofu."

Chen Ji: "Hey, wait... you didn't even mention what I wanted to eat."

She Dengke smiled and explained: "Chen Ji, I'm going to cook porridge and steamed egg custard for you. Master said you can't eat anything else since you've been unconscious for so long."

When She Dengke went out to cook, Chen Ji looked aside in confusion: "Prince and Princess, why are you here?"

The prince explained cheerfully: "We were planning to go out to play tonight. When we came in, we didn't see you. We only saw Liu Quxing and She Dengke carrying a basin and busying around. I didn't see you because I could have saved a toll.

Yes, but Bai Li insisted on giving you the toll, so he asked Liu Quxing to find out where you were. Only then did we know that you were seriously injured. Then Bai Li said that he couldn't go out to play and stayed to see if there was anything he could do to help.

.”

Bai Li turned to look at Chen Ji and said doubtfully: "Chen Ji, you were injured by some bad guy. The thieves are too arrogant and dare to commit crimes in Luo City... I thought Luo City was very peaceful."

She Dengke said in a muffled voice: "Princess, Luo City is not peaceful at night, especially the West City. It is a place where people hang out and are very vicious. Please don't go there."

Bai Li frowned: "When my father comes back, I will definitely tell him about this and make sure the sky in Luo City is clear and clear!"

The prince smiled and said to everyone: "My sister is born with a heart of justice. She has never seen us do unjust things since she was a child. If we steal someone else's watermelon, she will teach her a day, and she will have to go back and put down twenty copper coins.

That’s all.”

Bai Li rolled his eyes: "I have worked so hard to grow watermelons for several months, why do you think I could steal it? Stop talking nonsense, Chen Ji, do you still remember what the person who hurt you looks like and where he is? I

Let General Wang capture him!"

Liang Mao'er on the side also quickly said: "You don't need General Wang, my brother can chop him alive with one knife!"

Chen Ji lay on the bed and shook his head with a smile: "Thank you everyone, thank you Princess, the person who hurt me has been brought to justice."

Princess Baili nodded: "That's good."

At this moment, the small apprentice dormitory was full of people, making it look extremely crowded. Everyone was talking in a mess, and it was a mess.

However, there have never been so many people gathered in the backyard of Taiping Medical Center, and there have never been so many people caring about Chen Ji. The messy environment in front of him actually made him feel a little... warm.

While talking, Old Yao entered the house with a dark face and his hands behind his back.

He looked at the crowded room and immediately drove away: "Go and do whatever you have to do. The prince and the princess should not stay here. Go back to the palace first. Chen Ji needs to rest."

The prince originally wanted to take Bai Li away quickly, but upon hearing this, he immediately stood up and said goodbye: "What Dr. Yao said makes sense, we will go back now...Chen Ji, we will come see you tomorrow morning!"

Chen Ji responded with a smile: "Thank you, Crown Prince and Princess."

Old Man Yao glanced at him, turned to everyone in the room and said: "Liang Gou'er, Liang Mao'er, you two wait in the yard first. I have something to say to Chen Ji. Liu Quxing, you also went to the kitchen to help, didn't you call me

Don't come in."

…

…

When there was no one in the house, Old Yao stopped giving Chen Ji a good look, and Chen Ji felt guilty and dared not speak.

There was silence between each other, even the flame of the oil slag lamp became shorter.

After a long time, Old Man Yao asked in a serious voice: "Who is that man in the cloth shop? Why did you let him go if you wanted to kill him?"

Chen Ji's heart tightened, Master actually knew this!

Old Man Yao said intriguingly: "Are you still planning to hide it? Why don't you ask if Golden Pig has caught him?"

Chen Ji immediately became honest, raised his head and asked, "Master, how is he now?"

Old Man Yao stood by the main store with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Early this morning, the Secret Service had already found a new witness and came over here to investigate. It seems that the cloth shop will be found in a few hours.

I took advantage of the boy from the cloth shop who was unconscious, took off his blood-stained clothes, and threw him into a small alley outside the West Market. The spies guarding there discovered the blood-stained clothes, and now they have surrounded the West City, and every family is inside.

Inquiry."

It turns out that it was his master who helped him lure away the Secret Service!

This old man Yao said that we don't need to have a master-disciple relationship, but he finally took action.

But what makes Chen Ji feel strange is that although they are masters and apprentices, and although Old Yao is a bit cold-tempered but hot-tempered at the inside, the relationship between them is not good enough for the other to fight against the Secret Service for him, right?

He always felt a little strange, as if there was another hidden reason behind this matter.

When Old Man Yao saw that he was silent, he sneered and said: "Your fake scene deceived the golden pig, but you couldn't deceive me. The crow almost lost his life when he looked at you, so he hurriedly came back and called me to save you. You should be good

Thank it. If it weren't for it, you would be a corpse in the inner prison right now. Aren't you going to say it? I think this hexagram is a bad omen for you."

Chen Ji sighed in his heart, and finally chose to confess his secret: "Master, I am not only helping the Ning Chao Secret Intelligence Department, but also the Jing Chao Military Intelligence Department."

Old Yao raised his eyebrows: "I know this, tell me something I don't know."

"Ah?" Chen Ji was dumbfounded: "You also know this?"

Old Man Yao sneered: "You think you are so secretive, do you want me to repeat what you talked to Concubine Yun?"

Chen Ji was completely dumbfounded.

He really couldn't figure out how the master knew about this. There was no crow present at the time...

etc.

The persimmon tree in Feiyun Garden... Although there was no one in the courtyard when I was talking to Concubine Yun, there were magpies pecking at the persimmons on the tree, and from time to time magpies landed and flew away in front of the door!

If dark clouds can communicate with all cats, then crows can also communicate with all birds.

Do magpies have an IQ? Of course they do. Magpies are among the top five IQ species among birds. Not only can they remember thousands of places to hide food, they can also clearly classify food. Their IQ even exceeds that of many mammals.

When Old Man Yao saw his eyes twinkling, he sneered: "How many years have I been practicing on the path of Tiger King? How many days have you been practicing?"

"Then why didn't you teach me earlier?"

Yao Lao had a headache and was heartbroken: "Have you given me time to teach you? How long has it taken you to obtain dragon energy, and you have caused so many troubles?!"

Chen Ji hesitated for a moment: "As a native of the Ning Dynasty, wouldn't you be angry when you found out that I was working for the Military Intelligence Department of the Jing Dynasty?"

Old Yao shook his head: "I don't want to explain this matter. You will understand it later. Let me talk about your business first. What happened to the people in the cloth shop?"

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to care about his identity as a spy, Chen Ji simply chose to tell the truth: "The man in the cloth shop is named Wu Hongbiao. He was sent by my uncle from Jing Dynasty. He will teach me about espionage and be my partner."

.My uncle is a big shot in the Jing Dynasty. His current political struggle has failed. His opponent, Lu Guanwu, is secretly cutting off his wings. Wu Hongbiao happens to be on the list. He came to the cloth shop to inform me.

, let me be careful of danger."
