Ye Jingtang sat down next to the tea table, tapping the arm of the chair with his fingers, waiting for Shang Jianli to come back.

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

The figure is tall and tall, and the makeup is as gorgeous as the last time he saw it. Even without looking at the cheeks, the 'fat-headed dragon' that is about to emerge can be recognized at a glance.

"Prince Jing?!"

Ye Jingtang stood up to greet him with a happy face, but immediately his expression froze again, and he glanced at the rosewood box in front of him...

(0_0)!

Ye Jingtang wanted to hide Mr. Jiao quickly, but this was tantamount to hiding his ears and stealing the bell. He could only force himself to act natural.

Dongfang Liren raised his hand slightly, asked the entourage to step back, and entered the tea room alone:

"Young Master Ye is so efficient in doing things, it is beyond my expectation."

"Where, where..."

Ye Jingtang looked embarrassed and covered the rosewood box with his body.

Dongfang Liren calmly walked to the Night Terror Hall and sat down. Although he knew exactly what was in the rosewood box, he still acted surprised and asked curiously:

"What is this? A meeting gift prepared for this king? Mr. Ye is really serious..."

As he said this, he took the rosewood box.

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

Snapped!

Ye Jingtang held the box with one hand, his expression was really hard to explain, and he tried his best to explain calmly:

"Your Highness has misunderstood. This thing is something I borrowed from Mr. Wang Qi. It is used to catch thieves. Well... it's not very clean..."

Do you still know that it is unclean?

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

"I am in charge of the Black Yamen. What dirty things have I not seen? I am curious as to what kind of magical thing Mr. Ye relied on to capture the thief of Yanzhou, the Wingless Owl..."

As he said this, he pumped his hands.

I go……

Night Terror Hall cannot compete with Prince Jing, so we can only explain in advance:

"It's Mr. Wang who is a good chess player. Please pay attention to me. Inside..."

Wow——

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

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

Click——

Dongfang Liren quickly closed the box, not angry but proud, looking at Ye Jingtang with a look that said "I didn't see it, you are so handsome, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"

Ye Jingtang's scalp was numb, and he felt that the image he had finally established was completely destroyed. He took out a pamphlet from his sleeve and changed the topic:

"This is what I found on the wingless owl yesterday when I caught it. It should be the 'Qing Gong experience' rumored in the world. I made a special trip here today to present it to Prince Jing."

Dongfang Liren was doing a show to amuse the audience, but when he heard these words, he was slightly startled:

"Although the Longtan tourmaline is valuable, it is a common thing after all. It is understandable that it should be handed over to the public. This thing is the most precious treasure in the world. Why are you so willing to offer it to me?"

"I copied a copy last night. I just hope that His Highness will not inform Jieyun Palace about this."

Dongfang Liren was stunned and did not accept the booklet: "I like your temperament and you are honest enough. However, this thing is really hard to find in the world, but I have no use for it. I really want to learn Lu Jieyun's Qinggong.

, send a letter to King Yan, and Lu Jieyun will come to the capital in person to teach in person. You can just take this with confidence."

Ye Jingtang generously showed Prince Jing his Qing Kung experience. Firstly, he did not want Hei Yamen to have any ideas, and secondly, he was worried that the 'stealing master' would be visited by Jieyun Palace.

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

Dongfang Liren took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and placed it on the tea table:

"You can also take this and seize the fugitive bandits. The stolen goods recovered by the court without naming them will all belong to the arresters. I will not ask any questions. This is the rule of the black government."

Ye Jingtang took the jade pendant and saw that it was the 'Longtan Tourmaline' he got last night:

"This object is a family heirloom from Shuiyun Jiantan. Prince Jing gave it to me. Isn't it a bit..."

"The Zhou family lost something, and they didn't report it to the official. They wanted to make trouble in the world. How can I take the initiative to return it with kindness and diligence? If you don't dare to take it, you can return it to the Zhou family. If the reward is less, I will help you.

Justice."

Ye Jingtang understood the meaning and accepted the jade pendant with a smile:

"Thank you King Jing for the reward. Then I will go see Qiu Tianhe now and talk about learning sword skills?"

Dongfang Liren wanted to see how good Ye Jingtang's understanding was, so he thought for a while and then said:

"You are quite talented in martial arts. Now that you have gained the experience of Lu Jieyun's Qinggong, go back and study it carefully. 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 for treasures, he will definitely need the help of Prince Jing. Naturally, he will not refuse such a thing to enhance their friendship:

"Okay, I'll come back to visit Prince Jing in three days, and let's compete in Qinggong..."

What?

Dongfang Liren frowned slightly and looked at the Night Terror Hall:

"Three days?!"

Ye Jingtang realized the problem and changed his words:

"Three days may be too short, how about seven days?"

"..."

Dongfang Liren has grown up, and this is the first time he has heard that the progress of martial arts can be calculated based on days!

Although Ye Jingtang seems to have a solid foundation, Lu Jieyun's Qing Gong experience starts from a field that only masters can touch. Start with Qing Gong first, and then use the experience to your own advantage. Seven years is considered fast. What can you do in seven days?

?

Dongfang Liren was silent for a moment, then nodded:

"Forget it. In three days, we will discuss Qing Gong's insights. It will also be beneficial for you to learn this experience. You should go see Qiu Tianhe and discuss with him to see if he is willing to teach you sword skills in exchange for the opportunity to live a long life."

Ye Jingtang stood up to say goodbye, but when he wanted to get the rosewood box, he saw Prince Jing raising his hand to hold the rosewood box:

"Just ask the people below to return it. You can go directly."

Ye Jingtang knew that Wang Chihu was the eldest cousin of Prince Jing, so he was convinced of this. After bowing his hands and bowing, he left the tea room on his own.

The light rain hasn't stopped outside.

Ye Jingtang followed Shang Jianli and went to the dungeon to see Qiu Tianhe. However, when he walked through the corridor and came to the vicinity of Mingyu Tower, he suddenly felt something in his heart and felt that someone was looking at him.

Ye Jingtang followed his feeling and looked up at the top of Mingyu Tower. He could see that there was a woman wearing a house skirt at the top of Mingyu Tower, who had just turned around.

He thought it was a maid from the palace secretly spying on his beauty, but he didn't take it seriously...

…

-----

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

Ye Jingtang hung a knife from his waist and walked slowly through the Yousheng Tunnel to the wellhead on the two underground floors.

In the stone prison, Qiu Tianhe, with his hair disheveled, still maintained the same posture he saw last time, sitting against the wall, silently.

Wow——

The chain of the iron fence was opened, Shang Jianli was waiting at the entrance of the well, and Ye Jingtang turned over and jumped into it.

Qiu Tianhe opened his eyes and saw the descendant of his old friend. He felt kindly in his heart, but his expression was quite dull:

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

Ye Jingtang landed smoothly on the ground, took off the Lilonghuan knife from the back of his waist, and placed it horizontally on his knees:

"I have been practicing swordsmanship since I was a child and have always admired Qiu Daxia. I came here today because I want Qiu Daxia to teach me swordsmanship."

?

Qiu Tianhe raised his eyebrows slightly, sat up a little straighter, and looked at Ye Jingtang, as if he was considering the purpose of Ye Jingtang.

Ye Jingtang didn't make any secrets and said directly:

"After learning swordsmanship, Qiu Daxia has given me guidance. I can't just sit back and watch Qiu Daxia imprisoned. So I discussed with Prince Jing that I will learn Qiu Daxia's swordsmanship and pass it on to Prince Jing. In exchange, Prince Jing will

Let the Qiu hero be released from prison and retire in Beijing."

"..."

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

Regarding this hard-won opportunity, Qiu Tianhe shook his head and refused without even thinking:
To be continued...
