Kaifeng Bistro

To Yi Yi's surprise, Tan Zhifeng asked back, "Why did you run away?"

Suddenly, Tan Zhifeng felt that Yi Yi looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.Yi Yi asked him angrily, "If you don't run away, you're going to stink to death with these two baskets of fish?!"

"No." Tan Zhifeng stretched his aching ankle, "I haven't figured out what I want to figure out, so I can't leave now."

"Besides," facing Yi Yi's angry gaze, he continued: "We are not in danger. Xu Yan has already found them in all likelihood. They just want to use us to frighten Xu Gan. At this time, they I dare not turn against Xu Gan."

Yi Yi didn't continue to refute, he just asked again: "What exactly do you want to find out? Are you going to sit here, or go out and have a look."

Tan Zhifeng said: "I want to know where this is? However, what I want to know is another thing."

Yi Yi waited patiently. After a while, Tan Zhifeng whispered: "The two people who captured us just now, on them..."

He was just halfway through when he heard footsteps outside.Tan Zhifeng and Yi Yi hurriedly sat down.Sure enough, after a while, Tan Zhifeng heard the old man outside the door order: "Untie the two young masters and let them eat."

Soon, the two tall men came in and loosened the rope for them, and put two food boxes in front of them.After they left, Tan Zhifeng whispered: "Three. There are at least three now."

Yi Yi paused when he opened the food box, and nodded slightly: "You mean, there might be more?"

"It should be." Tan Zhifeng also opened his food box, which turned out to be a fried fish rice, he and Yi Yi glanced at each other, and the two could only bite the bullet and eat.

After eating, Tan Zhifeng sat quietly, feeling the movement outside, he could feel the breath getting stronger and stronger: "Four, five..." He counted seriously, Yi Yi also closed his eyes, As soon as he raised his hand, the light green fluorescence rose and turned into a shining leaf, but Tan Zhifeng stopped him and said, "Don't do this, maybe they can feel us too."

Yi Yi hurriedly withdrew his spiritual power, and sure enough, one of the two guards outside the door muttered: "Strange, why do I feel that there is something nearby...?"

The other person seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then the two came in together and took out the empty food box.

Tan Zhifeng and Yi Yi were much more cautious. They carefully controlled their spiritual power and felt the movement outside little by little.After a long time, Tan Zhifeng said: "I can only roughly judge... There are at least fourteen or five people like that old man. Except for the two guards at the gate, the rest are in the courtyard next door."

"Yeah." Yi Yi nodded: "It's almost the same as what I feel. However, I think there is another person who is normal."

"That's right, maybe he is the one who made the plan..." After Tan Zhifeng finished speaking, the two fell into deep thought together.Tan Zhifeng looked around. The room was clean, but there was nothing there. It was a bit like a vacant wing room. All the furniture had been removed. There were only two quilts placed in the corner, which were neatly folded.

"Yiyi, do you still remember the road you walked just now?" Tan Zhifeng asked suddenly.

"They deliberately went around the city, and went to some places that I haven't been to." Yi Yi was also observing the house: "And, I'm sure this street and this place are also the first time for me to visit .Could it be Chen Yuwan's family? No, because he has a connection with Xixia, his family should have been sealed up by the imperial court..."

This night passed slowly while countless people, including Tan Zhifeng, were tossing and turning, and the next morning, when the sun shone into the room, the door opened again.

Those two people seemed to be more satisfied with Tan Zhifeng and Yi Yi's quiet night, and they were much less prepared for them.However, as soon as they came in, they quickly closed the door behind them.Then, one of them said to Tan Zhifeng: "Young Master Tan, we are going to send you to the Taixue, please put this blindfold on now."

Yi Yi sneered, and asked, "Don't wear the sack?"

The two didn't answer, but handed over the blindfolds in their hands. After putting on the blindfolds, Tan Zhifeng and the others were led into a carriage, the wheels rumbling, and they left the narrow alley after a while, heading in another direction Mercedes away.

In a secluded alley some distance away from Taixue, he walked back and forth behind Xu Gan restlessly, and from time to time glanced at the old man beside Xu Gan with resentful eyes.Before going out, she quietly asked Xu Gan: "If I can't wait to know the wind, I'll stab that old thing with a single knife. What do you think, my lord?"

Xu Gan seemed to be much calmer than yesterday, and there seemed to be a smile on his face: "Don't act rashly, he is not behind the scenes, don't let people see your ability."

Zhuozhuo felt better when she heard that, but now she was not so sure, A Yuan's tragic situation appeared in front of her eyes, which made her shiver, and she couldn't help but walked over to the old man and said: "Old man Why Zhifeng hasn’t come yet, let me tell you, if you don’t send him back in one piece, girl, I…”

Before she finished speaking, there was a sound of horseshoes outside, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, and someone walked out of the carriage with Tan Zhifeng and Yi Yi who had taken off their blindfolds.

Xu Gan's eyes brightened at first, and then became darker again.But Zhuo Zhuo pushed the old man away and ran over: "My God, Zhifeng..."

She just came to Tan Zhifeng, but she couldn't help covering her nose: "What's the matter with you two? It smells like fish. Did they abuse you?"

"Oh my god, I'm wronged," the old man almost jumped up when he heard it.He stole a glance at Xu Gan, then beat his chest and said to Zhuo Zhuo: "Girl, don't talk nonsense, we treat you two as honored guests..." After finishing speaking, he turned to Xu Gan and bowed, "I don't believe it." You ask these two sons, I..."

"Enough." Xu Gan said lightly: "I'm going to enter the arena. How many people are there for you to meet me? Are you all ready?"

"Oh..." The old man rubbed his chest with lingering fear, and replied in a low voice: "There are seven of them, all of us. It's not strict, only five soldiers from a military patrol shop were transferred. You also know that this Taixue is next to the Imperial College, not too close to Caihe. When the two schools catch fire together, There are multiple fires, and it is impossible for them to take care of it."

"By the way," the old man looked up at Xu Gan's face, and then said, "My lord, let me tell you that you don't have to worry about your safety. Looking at today's situation, it will take time for the fire to burn. We have already arranged it." route and bought the door guarding the back door, those seven people will do their best to ensure that you leave unscathed."

"I see." Xu Gan took the book basket with pen, ink, paper and inkstone from Zhuo Zhuo's hand and walked out of the alley. When he reached Tan Zhifeng's side, he stopped in his tracks. Their eyes met, and Tan Zhifeng's heart moved slightly. I wanted to say a few words to him, but the last thing I said was: "I, I'm fine, you take the exam well."

Xu Yan nodded, and said to Yi Yi: "Take them back and wait for me."

Yi Yi responded, and the three of them ignored the old man behind them. They walked around the alley and headed towards Wheatstraw Alley.

Xu Gan was caught in the crowd of people pouring into Taixue alone, waiting for the interrogation by several guards at the gate.Although the Guozijian next door also opened for examination today, after all only the children of officials are eligible to enter, so there were very few people at the gate of the Guozijian, but there was a long queue in front of the Taixue gate.

He stood quietly for a while, and soon felt the strange and familiar aura not far away. He looked back, and saw a man in his 20s who was rushing here with a book basket on his back.He glanced in another direction. This time, he saw another fat middle-aged man wearing a high crown staring sharply at the two guards at the door. He seemed to feel Xu Gan's gaze. , quickly turned his face around, gave Xu Gan a slight nod, and bowed far away.

Xu Gan looked back calmly, but someone approached him without him noticing, and patted him on the shoulder.Xu Gan frowned and looked back, only to find that it was a scholar with a long beard and long gown who was dressed in a funny way, greeting him.

"It's you." Xu Gan twitched his lips, "You're here? Why are you dressed like this?"

"It's really useless for me to be here." Wen Hui replied with a choked voice, "Master Bao doesn't know but you should know that wherever I can put out fires, the places I go will be getting drier and hotter... Don't you think it's been a while?" Is it too hot in Kaifeng..."

"Aren't you the one who knows how to make clouds and rain?" Wen Hui said while stroking his beard standing on it: "This is really in the way."

"If I cast a spell, how will I explain it?" Xu Gan said indifferently: "Besides, I don't have the magic power to make clouds and rain, so I can only do my best."

"How many people?" Wen Hui continued to ask secretly.

"It's seven people, I don't know if it's true." Xu Gan replied: "They guard me like they guard against thieves. This time, they must never let them see my details. It's better for you to disguise yourself..."

Xu Gan looked around to confirm that those people were far away from him, then he lowered his head and quickly whispered something to Wen Hui.After hearing this, Wen Hui thought for a while, then nodded her head: "Okay, let's do as you said!"

Although there are a lot of people rushing for the exam, perhaps because of the turbulent situation these days, the imperial court seems to be paying special attention to the exams in various schools.The sound of cars and horses marching by soldiers of the Imperial Army gradually came from the Imperial Street in the southern section. The students here stopped making noise immediately, but lined up in groups, waiting for the guards at the gate to check their belongings and let them enter the exam. .

Wen Hui had disappeared, Xu Gan looked around, and saw that the expressions of those who had signaled to him became obviously tense, but when they realized that the imperial army was only stationed outside the street, they immediately relaxed a lot.Just now those two people were getting closer to Xu Gan, one of the young ones pushed aside a few scholars around him, leaned close to Xu Gan and whispered to him: "My lord has made an arrangement, you and I are seated next to each other, about halfway through the opening In about an hour, I will get up to go to the toilet, you wait for a cup of tea, and then tell the officials in the supervision field that you need to go to the toilet, and then... we can start!"
