[Rat cat] The legend of Lou Xiaochong

Fan Jiang Shu Jiang Ping Jiang Fourth Master, he can believe at most one sentence out of ten.For example, he had an appointment and waited anxiously, but he just heard that a local Cuixianglou, who had just become popular, had an opening tonight and wanted to rush to occupy the front row.

Another example is his fifth brother, Bai Yutang, who said that Xiangyang has really arrived in Xiangyang, but where is there such a thoughtless thing as "beating the eldest son of the prefect's family and being arrested by his father"?And whether it is for the convenience of finding news, or for eating, living, and entertainment, how can the small courtyard of the Xiangyang prefect compare with the mansion of the King of Xiangyang!

Originally, he came in today with the intention of taking a casual look, but Bai Yutang did not expect to catch any great evidence.But after one day, Xiangyang Prince's Mansion was not as strict as Kaifeng Mansion's defenses, and he actually inquired a lot of news.For example, not long after he entered the courtyard, he saw at least a dozen or two tricks; Running around stepping on the tiles on the wall, tsk tsk, there is no dignity in this palace.

After looking secretly for a while, he roughly recognized what was in which room and who was doing what. Bai Yutang caught a guy who had been slithering by the wall with his head down, and dragged him out of the yard to change his clothes. The old way, put two handfuls of plaster on the face.But he looked at the ditch with a frowning expression, but at most he seemed to be half-resembling it—he had no choice but to be born too romantic and unrestrained, no matter how low his brows were, it was just adding a bit of humility and easygoing Forget it, I can't pretend to be that timid.If you pretend to be domineering, you don't have to worry about your demeanor, but if you show your face around, others are not blind, so how can you hide it?

If I knew today, I should have listened to my master and learned a few tricks about Yi Rong.Bai Yutang thought so, but he had no choice but to put away his thoughts of pretending to be a cliché.He kicked the unlucky guy he had just caught, and interrogated him casually for a while. Sure enough, he was just an errand runner. He was recruited because he could steal gold and pick locks, so he knew very little.When Bai Yutang drew out his knife and was about to cut someone down, he suddenly remembered Zhan Zhao frowning and shaking his head at him—in other words, does killing people like this count as breaking the law?

strike, strike, strike.Randomly looking for a town god's temple with little incense, knocking the guy on his hand unconscious and hiding it firmly, Bai Yutang suddenly felt that there was someone behind him.

Bai Yutang kept moving his hands, pretending to carefully hide the end of the rope and sprinkle shredded paper to cover it up, but his ears were already open to listen to the movement.All of a sudden, he glanced at the sunlight leaking from the broken window lattice, and seemed to move.

The enemy is in the dark, but I am in the light.Should we leave the City God's Temple as if nothing had happened to see what the other party does, or...

Just at this moment, there was a sound of restrained laughter coming from under the eaves, Bai Yutang borrowed a corner of the offering case under his feet, turned around in the air for half a circle, and had already turned his hand and drew his knife to slash at it——When there was a clang, then While resisting in a hurry, it was cut on the scabbard.

He made a sudden attack with only three points of strength, but Bai Yutang knew it well.The one hiding in the eaves, his kung fu is about the same as that of the fourth brother Jiang Ping, and they are all ways of changing moves that are acceptable but weaker in strength.Thinking of this, he has already landed on the ground, his whole body is on guard, pointing at the tip of the knife obliquely: "My friend may as well show up!"

"Hahahahahaha——" A burst of laughter came from behind the shrine, and Bai Yutang's heart trembled: he was just messing around with Tibetans over there, and he was not three feet away from the shrine, yet he didn't hear a single sound. It seems that the person who is laughing is stronger than himself, not weaker.After concentrating on identifying it carefully, he moved half a step slightly and stood leaning against the wall.The place was also carefully chosen, not to mention that you can jump out of the window in two steps, and you can see the whole small temple up, down, left, and right.

The person behind the shrine didn't hide anymore, and the one who turned around with a ho-ho laugh was a middle-aged man with black stubble on his face.This man is wearing a brocade gown of black satin, which is also of the best material and first-class embroidery, but it exudes an aura of sudden wealth.Bai Yutang frowned secretly, one was hidden in the eaves, the other was hidden in the shrine, did this come after him, or was Tete guarding someone in an ambush here?

"My kid, I think it's really bad," the man laughed enough and said, "You're that Bai Yutang who got very close to Xia Zhannan? The saber technique is good, but it's a pity that this saber isn't a treasured saber yet."

Bai Yutang had already looked at the handle of the knife protruding from the man's back, and saw that although the silk rope on it was old, it was tightly wound, and it was obvious that it was often removed and tightened.If it is said that this person is a powerful swordsman, he has three points of faith.But people in the Jianghu are more concerned about face than face, and the momentum on the mouth must not be weak. He still asked coldly: "Who is your Excellency? What does it matter to you whether my knife is good or bad?"

When the man answered his words, his smile deepened: "Yo, are you angry? That's right, I haven't reported my name yet. I'm the one called 'Black Demon Fox' by people in the Jianghu. As he spoke, he folded his hands and waited for Bai Yutang's answer.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yutang still didn't move, he just rolled his eyelids: "I thought you were a great monk named 'Zhihua'."

"Pfft——" the person on the other side of the roof finally couldn't hold back his laughter, but he was someone he had known for a long time. Last autumn, he helped Ouyang Chun find Zhan Zhao to inform Shen Zhongyuan, who was the King of Xiangyang.

Shen Zhongyuan turned over and jumped off the eaves, leaning over to pat Bai Yutang on the shoulder, but he slid half a step away, so he could only cough lightly, and turned to shake his scabbard at Bai Yutang: "This mark was not cut lightly. You are quite rich in the empty island, not short of these few taels of silver..."

"I'll talk to my fourth brother about this kind of thing in two days." Bai Yutang interrupted Shen Zhongyuan mercilessly, "You two are also famous seniors. It's lucky to meet Bai Yutang today, so don't bother the two of you." seat."

Bai Yutang clasped his fists as if to leave, but in fact he secretly gathered energy to be on guard.Zhi Hua didn't see it wrong, he just stopped him with a smile: "Go slowly, nephew Bai Xian is worried about changing his appearance?"

Hearing this, Bai Yutang regained his composure, and Shen Zhongyuan pointed at Zhihua: "This is the signature of Yirongshu. The person surnamed Shen has known him for more than ten years, and never knew what he really looks like."

"So..." Is this trying to help myself?Bai Yutang was thinking of trusting them for a while, but Zhi Hua cut him off: "Don't even think about changing your face."

……What's the meaning!Bai Yutang glared at him, Zhihua was still smiling until his face wrinkled into furrows: "Which one are you going to disguise as? Are you really pretending to be like that? If the manager tells you to follow and kill people, then you can do it? Don't tell me it's just a matter of time." If you run away if it’s not right, how about hundreds of people, can you beat them and run away?”

Seeing Bai Yutang exhaling angrily over there, Zhihua and Shen Zhongyuan looked at each other, and then taught the younger generation: "You are young, you should be careful and save your life! Besides, it is not that troublesome to sneak into the Xiangyang Palace." Then he motioned Shen Zhongyuan to take out a waist card from his sleeve, "Here——"

It turns out that the Xiangyang Prince's Mansion has recruited many people from the Jianghu, and it is impossible for all of them to be confidantes.Known as the eight hundred heroes, less than a hundred of them are supported by the real palace, who go in and out every day and are acquainted with the steward; He was ordered to do some activities, and only occasionally came to the mansion to show his face and receive a reward.It is really easy to pretend to be the latter kind of idle thug, all you need is a waist card.As for the restrictions on walking in the mansion, is it rare for Wu Ye to be blamed?At worst, if you are questioned by others, you can act smarter and pretend to be stupid, which is easier to get away than pretending to be someone everyone knows.

Just like that, Zhihua and Shen Zhongyuan went out of the city to do errands after giving instructions to the younger generation. Bai Yutang turned back to the palace, walked into the side door swaggeringly, and even ran to try to collect ten taels of silver. Sure enough, no one checked it carefully.

Bai Yutang relaxed a little, looked around, and gained a lot in a day:

The first thing is, the King of Xiangyang is not in the palace, and he said that it will take two days to return, but when asked what the old man did, these ordinary diners and servants couldn't answer.

The second thing is that the towers built outside the city of Xiangyang are said to be famous, and the king of Xiangyang specially negotiated with a few confidantes to choose a name.If it's not weird, how can a prince be so caring if he listens to the wind and sees the scenery.

The third thing is that there are not many dark rooms in this palace, and each has its own merits, which is fine; the hidden documents and clothes that can be used as physical evidence can throw King Xiangyang into the 88th floor of hell, which is fine; but there are always traps in the dark room, These organ news are exactly the same as what Lou Xiaochong drew when he arrived at Xingkong Island at the beginning of last summer... This is intriguing.

Bai Yutang memorized all the gadgets that were convenient to carry.The most important here are the seals privately cast by the King of Xiangyang, as well as the documents he communicated with officials from all walks of life - there are even many inscriptions that are not in the names of people from the Central Plains. , who is the "virtuous king" in the population of Xixia, no longer think about it as a second person.Bai Yutang closed all the traps, hid in the corridor and went to blow the air. Looking at the peach petals fluttering in the wind, he couldn't help laughing at himself: What happened at that time, but he refused to believe in Ouyang Chun and Mr. Bao. Zhao uncovered the truth of the case, the result is not the case?

That's all, that's all, the crescent moon hangs high, the stomach is empty, Zhan Zhao has left Kaifeng and is on his way now, right?I don't know if he can change shifts with others at night and sleep peacefully for two hours.In short, go find some food first, so that you can fill your stomach before you have the strength to do things.
