[Rat cat] The legend of Lou Xiaochong

There is a road in the northwest, which leads directly to Bianliang City.

Bai Yutang took the lead and turned into the small road heading south.It's not that they are afraid that the eldest brother, the third brother and the fourth brother will really catch them back - if they really want to turn their faces, they will definitely run away.It's just that his brothers have raised him for so many years, and he really doesn't want to have any more confrontation with his self-assessment.Three people and three horses took advantage of the night to go around in circles for a while. When the sky was bright, they went to the small shop that had just opened at the foot of the mountain to fill their stomachs and continued on their way.When the sun was setting to the west, the two of Zhan Bai could say that Lou Xiaochong could hardly sit on the saddle anymore.

Zhan Zhao looked at the valley and woodland in front of him, and threw a water bag to Lou Xiaochong: "Drink a couple of sips and hold on, you can't stop in a place like this."

Lou Xiaochong hugged the horse's neck and gasped: "Why can't it stop?"

"Heh, there is always some experience in traveling the world...Brother Bai! Don't be impulsive!" Zhan Zhao suddenly heard a whip from Bai Yutang, and before he could talk to Lou Xiaochong in detail, he rode his horse and followed.

Bai Yutang rushed his horse into the valley path, secretly calculating the distance, his face remained still, and suddenly he raised the rein with his right hand—the white horse also had a heart-to-heart with him, and leaped high with one step, as far as ten feet away—Bai Yutang himself Zao flew away from the saddle, drew out the blade and made a big circle, the cold light passed by, and Zhan Zhao came only to see a few figures lying down in the grass beside the road. It looked like a strong man blocking the road, but it was a pity that he said "this The mountain was opened by me." I didn't even have time to exit.

"Bai Yutang! How can you hurt people's lives at will!" Zhan Zhao rode his horse over the tripwire, looked at Bai Yutang who had fallen back into the saddle, and questioned him.

Bai Yutang snorted coldly: "Sneaky and murderous, Fifth Master hates this kind of villain the most." After finishing speaking, he turned his horse's head and stared at Lou Xiaochong who was urging his horse to jog over.

Lou Xiaochong was misled by his glance, he didn't see the trip wire on the ground, his horse's foot fell, and he fell to the ground, but fortunately the horse was not fast, it just made a disfigured face and did not cause any damage.Lou Xiaochong got up by himself, patted the dust, picked up the water bag and its plug, and then climbed back on the horse, where Zhan Zhao was still frowning and counting Bai Yutang.

"...I said Master Mao." Bai Yutang held a scabbard, turned his head to look at the sky, "you take every mansion, do you really think that the mansion is full of people like you?"

Zhan Zhao sighed: "Brother Bai is too extreme, there are good officials in this world who are as clear as water and as bright as a mirror..."

"For example, your Lord Bao, right?" Bai Yutang sneered, "It's just that you arrest me and take me to see the county magistrate here! It just so happens that the fifth master wants to ask him by the way, how do you explain him being a bandit? Rampant! Anyway, I don’t have the emperor’s order, so I’m not afraid of delaying the time—by the way, Mr. Zhan is also a member of the official family, why don’t you wear a pair of handcuffs when you go out?”

Bai Yutang gestured to stretch out his hands, and Zhan Zhao shook his head helplessly: "Brother Bai, don't mess around, you are ordered by the Holy Majesty, no matter what, I must take you back to Kaifeng first—of course, I will report such incidents truthfully. My lord, let Master Bao make the decision..."

"It's really interesting!" Bai Yutang raised his whip, "Drive—" walked straight forward.

It was Lou Xiaochong who came over and stretched out his hand to tug on Zhan Zhao's sleeve: "Is he mad at you?"

"...Brother Bai is not a small-minded person." Zhan Zhao secretly said, it's just that everyone has different opinions on some things, and he needs to explain it to him slowly.

Lou Xiaochong looked at Zhan Zhao's expression: "Don't be sad. Although I don't understand what you're saying, I know that if you treat him well, he will understand."

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Good boy. Let's go, it's getting late, and if we don't make it to the next village, we'll sleep in the open."

This Lou Xiaochong feels very abrupt.He always does some inexplicable things, and he can't tell the origin of his master. It is obvious that he is targeting Bai Yutang, or he also has his share.This is obviously extremely suspicious, but he seems innocent and ignorant, and he only shows pure kindness...

Not far from the valley, there is a small town, the characters on the boundary stone are blurred and incomplete, and I can't recognize the handwriting for a long time.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are not familiar with this place because they deliberately ran around here in order to avoid the pursuit of the empty island.Looking around, it was probably because it was getting late, there were no pedestrians on the road, only a beggar who was half leaning against the wall by the side of the road kept pulling a long voice, singing some lyrics.

There are about a hundred households here, but more than half of the doors and windows are closed, not a gleam of light comes out, and there is no smoke from the cooking.Instead, there is an inn at the entrance of the town.Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao, and opened the curtain first to go in. The store was fairly spacious with some tables and chairs, but there were no customers.At any rate, a candle was lit on the counter of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper looked to be in his thirties, wearing a half-worn robe, with a thin figure. He was crackling his abacus at this moment, and he didn't even look up when someone came in. Take care.

"Hey, shopkeeper!" Bai Yutang tapped on the counter with his fingers, "Stay here!"

"Okay." The shopkeeper still immersed himself in his calculations, without a single pause under his hands.

"Your shop..." Bai Yutang thought in his heart, even if Fifth Master went to Bianliang, why did he open a shop and treat people so coldly.He just frowned, but was pulled back by Zhan Zhao.Zhan Zhao stepped forward and asked, "Two guest rooms—" He looked at Bai Yutang's clothes, "Is there a cleaner one?"

"Upstairs, choose by yourself." The shopkeeper was still making calculations, and Zhan Zhao noticed that he was not looking at the ledger, and seemed to be dialing some formulas out of thin air, but his fingers moved very nimbly.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang exchanged glances, then asked him: "The money..."

"Look at it." As he spoke, the shopkeeper seemed to have finally finished playing a set of small nine-nines. He stood up and put down the abacus, and swiped his middle finger across the counter. He took out an old hat, "here—"

There are a few copper plates here and there here and there.Zhan Zhao didn't have time to move, Bai Yutang raised his hand and threw a small piece of silver into it: "Burn some more hot water, get some food, don't need to look for it anymore." After speaking, he folded his hands and waited for the shopkeeper's response.

"Food?" The shopkeeper finally raised his head, with half a smile on his face, "Kitchen, make it yourself."

This time, Master Wu smiled instead of anger: "Heh, do you really run a shop?"

The shopkeeper also laughed dryly with him, and suddenly suppressed his smile: "Guess?" Then he picked up the abacus in one hand and the candlestick in the other, and turned around to go out.

Bai Yutang didn't wait for him to reach the door, he volleyed in the air to block the way, drew his knife out of its sheath and held it against the shopkeeper's chest: "Weird, what's the matter with you?" Bump forward.

"Brother Bai!" Zhan Zhao shouted hastily, "Don't use a knife!"

Without Zhan Zhao's instructions, Bai Yutang also felt that although the shopkeeper was weird and rude, he didn't see him doing anything bad, so he put away the knife and didn't say anything, and even gave the shopkeeper half a step to go out.

The door curtain swayed. Hearing the footsteps outside, Bai Yutang approached Zhan Zhao quietly, and whispered, "This store——no, this whole town is a bit unusual. I'll go check it out with him."

"Wait!" Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to hold his arm, "Zhan also feels strange, but you and I have to hurry - it's better to leave this place first and inform the local yamen to handle it."

Bai Yutang turned his head to look at him, the light was too dark to see clearly, and he was a little annoyed for a moment: "Isn't your Kaifeng mansion a yamen? You don't care about this case?"

"Brother Bai, it won't do you any good to delay the time limit, and the yamen at all levels have their own responsibilities..." Zhan Zhao suppressed his temper and wanted to explain to him.

"Well, I don't understand what you said—" Bai Yutang shook off his hand and lifted the door curtain, "If you don't let me check, I won't go with you—don't think you're really captured alive My ability."

Zhan Zhao had no choice but to go forward: "Even so, it should be Zhan who went. Brother Bai is a hero in the world, how could he be familiar with the way of handling cases, so he stayed here. Besides, brother Xiaolou also needs someone to look after him. "

Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, Lou Xiaochong also has problems, someone needs to keep an eye on him.Bai Yutang shrugged: "That's just right, you have a kind temper, look at the child, and I'll come whenever I go—that 'child', you have to watch out for me!"

Zhan Zhao still wanted to say something, but he didn't want to be wary of Bai Yutang taking a step back and leaning into his ear: "Why, worry about me? It's okay! Even if there is any situation, I'll just set off fireworks and call you." Then he jumped out of the threshold , turned over to the room, and disappeared after a few clicks.

Shaking his head, Zhan Zhao turned back to look at Lou Xiaochong, but the child had already pulled away a bench by himself, fell asleep on the table, and was snoring lightly.Zhan Zhao thought for a while, picked him up lightly, and walked up the stairs. The upstairs should be the guest room, and he will find a bed to put him in before making plans.

After climbing up to the second floor, Zhan Zhao was holding a torch to find out the direction, when suddenly he heard a "咻" sound in the originally extremely quiet town.When he rushed to the end of the corridor and pushed open the window panel to look, a bright white firework was exploding high above.
