Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 52: Yan Tingzhi is easily deceived
Later, Chang'an asked about Li Si's story in Jiangnan.
Li Si drank his tea and began to tell her the story.
The breeze in the garden is gentle, making the shadows of the trees on the ground sway.
At the stone table, that person was still talking and that person was still listening, just like the scene on the eaves by the window four years ago.
The story is just the same as before, with Li Si's unique flavor of the world, a bit of freedom, a bit of leisure and interest, and of course, a little bit of trouble.
By the time he finished speaking, it was already getting dark and Chang'an realized that it was time for him to leave.
Before leaving, she lowered her head, smiled, and handed something to Li Si.
It was an almond candy. She remembered that Li Si loved to eat it. She also loved it and always carried a few with her.
Li Si smiled and said that she had become sensible. He opened the paper bag and put the candy into his mouth, then sent the girl away.
Not long after Chang'an left, another eunuch came in and took Li Si back to the Tianlao.
Li Shizong never showed up again. Maybe he didn't want to care about it anymore, or maybe he had started to investigate Li Si's background. Who knows??
…
The days in the prison always passed quickly, because it was dark and time was not felt. If you didn't have any random thoughts and didn't feel it was hard, time would pass by unnoticed.
For Li Si, he didn’t know that two months had passed. He just felt that the weather was getting hotter and it must be summer.
Chang'an often sent people to visit him and bring him some food and drinks, but because of Li Shizong, she could not come in person.
According to the maid she sent, she often went to see Li Shizong during this period, but no one knew what she went there for.
Li Si didn't care too much about it, but he was very grateful for Chang'an's care and thought that he should repay him when he had the chance in the future.
Yan Tingzhi returned to the capital. It seemed that he had completed the task of escorting Bai Yaoer. However, he could not stay in the capital for long. After some time, he would have to go to the southeast to take up his post.
After all, he is still the chief constable of the Southeast and cannot always stay in the capital.
But before leaving, he still came to see Li Si once. He was still worried about this guy, because in his impression, Li Si was not a peaceful person.
He felt that Li Si would escape from prison, and at that time, the Heavenly Prison might not be able to stop him.
All we can say is that Yan Tingzhi still understands Li Si.
Sure enough, when he woke up one morning, Li Si felt that he should leave. There was no special reason, he just thought of it suddenly and decided to do it.
And this day happened to be the day Yan Tingzhi left the capital.
It should have been morning, Yan Tingzhi was walking on the palace road.
He was about to go to the Six Gates to get official documents, but he saw several guards running hurriedly past him, heading towards the direction of the Imperial Palace's Sky Prison.
This gave him an inexplicable bad feeling, and he immediately stopped a guard and asked.
"What are you going to do?"
The guard replied with a pale face: "Someone escaped from the prison."
prison Break.
Hearing these two words, Yan Tingzhi was stunned for a moment, then his brows tightened, and he disappeared on the palace road with the knife at his waist.
When he arrived at the gate of the Sky Prison, he found that the door was already open, and the guards in the passage were lying all over the place, with even a few masters from the Imperial Palace lying on one side.
Li Si was standing at the gate, putting down a person who had fainted.
He saw Yan Tingzhi running over, smiled and said.
“You’re here.”
He looked very relaxed, as if the Heavenly Prison was no obstacle at all for him.
Indeed, Li Si was a thief after all, so picking a lock was not difficult for him.
"Li Si!" Yan Tingzhi stopped, drew the knife from his waist and shouted sternly.
"Do you know how serious a crime it is to escape from the Heavenly Prison?"
"I know, so I have to run away?" Li Si smiled bitterly.
This constable still likes to put accusations on people as always.
"As long as I'm here, you can't run away." Yan Tingzhi held his knife horizontally.
Besides him, there are other masters in the Palace. He just needs to drag Li Si along and wait for those people to arrive. Even Li Si will find it difficult to escape the encirclement.
"Really?" Li Si raised the corners of his mouth with a sly smile, and suddenly said "surprised" to the back of Yan Tingzhi.
"Ah, Your Majesty."
"What..." Yan Ting looked back subconsciously, but there was nothing behind him, no emperor there.
He realized he had been duped, but it was too late to turn back.
The next moment, he felt a pain in his neck.
The knife fell to the side, and Yan Tingzhi's body fell limply to the ground. His vision went dark, and he was about to faint.
Still as deceptive as ever.
Li Si shook his head, stepped over the knife and walked past him. Yan Tingzhi raised his eyes with difficulty, looked at Li Si and said.
"Where are you going..."
He stopped and stood for a moment in the light .
Then he turned around, squinted his eyes and looked at Yan Tingzhi, and softly said two words.
"Jianghu."
…
Yan Tingzhi fainted after Li Si left.
The guards in the sky prison were also lying quietly, without any sound, and those who could move went to chase Li Si.
About an incense stick of time passed before another person walked out from the dim corridor of the sky prison.
He was a ragged old man with long, messy gray hair and beard, and it was unknown how long it had been since they had been cut.
When he walked out of the door, he raised his head, pushed away the hair covering his face, looked at the sunlight outside, and after a while, he grinned.
"The old man finally came out."
The sun illuminated the old man's face, which looked scary, old, yellow, and covered with festering scars. When he smiled, he had a kind of evil aura that made people's hearts palpitate.
His voice was also very special, so hoarse as if he hadn't spoken in several years.
If Li Si were here, he would definitely recognize the voice. This is the old man who was imprisoned next to him.
He should not have been released, and it was thanks to Li Si that he had the chance to see the light of day again.
Now, he wants to take revenge, a revenge from long ago.
