Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

When Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng walked into the Baijia Tavern, they saw Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang warily staring at Pang Tong who was sitting at the table drinking tea leisurely.

Gongsun Ce frowned, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are too tender now, and against Pang Tong, they can only be played for fun.

Bao Zheng said to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Go back to your room and rest first."

As soon as Zhan Zhao heard it, he immediately said, "Brother Bao, let's just stay here." Brother Bao and Brother Gongsun didn't know martial arts, so what if they were bullied by Pang Tong!

"No, he's our ally now." Bao Zheng said, and waved Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang down.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang could only look at each other, they glared at Pang Tong unhappily, and then they both went down.

As soon as Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang left, Pang Tong sneered and looked at Bao Zheng, "Allies?"

"Isn't it? General Pang and even the filial people, how could they ignore Grand Master Pang being trapped?" Bao Zheng said without changing his face, while pulling Gongsun Ce to sit opposite Pang Tong.

Gongsun Ce picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea for himself and Bao Zheng respectively, and then Gongsun Ce picked up his own cup and drank slowly.

Pang Tong lowered his eyes in silence, and after a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "How is my father?"

"He's very good." Bao Zheng said, staring at Pang Tong, "every day, he plays chess, drinks tea, and chats with the Eight Worthy Kings. His life is quite carefree."

After hearing this, Pang Tong laughed at himself. There was some indescribable difficulty in the smile, which surprised Gongsun Ce.

"My father is such a capricious person. Speaking of which, the Eight Sage Kings are also troubled." Pang Tong said, sighed softly, and looked at Bao Zheng, "After you enter the palace, what does the emperor mean?"

capricious?This word is quite accurate, Gongsun Ce thought to himself, although he is not very clear about the entanglement between Grand Master Pang and the Eight Sage Kings, to be honest, Gongsun Ce has never dared to believe that there will be any entanglements between Grand Master Pang and the Eight Sage Kings .As far as his observation is concerned, Grand Master Pang is calm on the surface, but in fact he is a willful person on the inside, and the one in front of him is... almost the same.

Bao Zheng briefly talked about his trip to the palace. After finishing speaking, Bao Zheng looked at Pang Tong, "From all the current signs, the grand master should have hidden something. The current evidence is not good for the grand master. If the grand master Don't confess what he's hiding, I'm afraid this time..." Bao Zheng didn't continue.But the meaning of the words is already very clear.

After hearing this, Pang Tong just drank his tea in silence.

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce drank tea on their own.

"Bao Zheng, why do you believe so much that my father is innocent?" Pang Tong suddenly asked a completely irrelevant question.

Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Naturally, it's because of evidence, analysis, and reasoning."

After hearing this, Pang Tong laughed mockingly, "Didn't you say that the evidence was against my father?"

"The direct evidence is indeed against Grand Master Pang, but it is these direct evidences that show Grand Master Pang's innocence even more." Bao Zheng said calmly.

Pang Tong listened, but the mocking smile on the corner of his mouth slowly disappeared. He stared at Bao Zheng for a long time before he said, "Very well, I am relieved to hear you say that. Bao Zheng, the emperor is staring at our Pang family. Whether my father can clean up his innocence, I will trouble you. Of course, you can just say what you need. "

"I don't have any needs. If I really need it...General Pang, can you tell me whether the Grand Master and the Eight Sage Kings were close friends in the past?" Bao Zheng stared at Pang Tong and asked.

Pang Tong was startled, and then fell silent.After a while, he said in a low voice, "My father and Uncle Eight... used to be close friends who talked about everything."

*****

It was night, in the spacious and somewhat deserted side hall, Grand Master Pang was sitting in front of the chessboard, staring at the chessboard, where black and white chess pieces were placed one by one.

It wasn't until he heard the sound of approaching footsteps outside that Grand Master Pang smiled slightly on his cold and indifferent face.

Turning around, just in time, the door of the temple was pushed open, and the person he had been waiting for all day was walking towards him with a frown.

"You are here." Grand Master Pang said, his voice was still low, but he could hear that he was in a very happy mood.

The Eighth Sage King glanced at the chessboard, raised his eyebrows and looked at Grand Master Pang, "You are very interested."

Grand Master Pang smiled slightly, "I was bored all day long, so I played a game with Bao Zheng. Unfortunately, Bao Zheng is smart, but he is a bit rigid."

"I don't think he's rigid." Ba Xianwang frowned thinking about the news he got from the palace today.

"Let's talk about a game?" Grand Master Pang didn't answer the question, but just sorted out the chess pieces, then, seemingly carelessly, he pulled the Eight Sage Kings to sit down, and while asking, handed the white chess pieces to the Eight Sage Kings.

The Eighth Sage King looked up at Grand Master Pang, took the white chess, and then lowered his head to start the game.

——Speaking of which, he and Pang Ji haven't played chess for a long time.

When was the last time?The night Qiuyan and Cui Mingchong left the capital with love and affection, the night when Pang Jitu came to visit late at night, and played chess with him in the plum garden?

The Eighth Wise King's mind was a little messed up, and when he made a move, he appeared disorganized.

"Are you worried about me?" Grand Master Pang asked, looking at the chessboard and then at the Eight Sage Kings.

The Eighth Wise King looked up at Grand Master Pang, bowed his head and took a step, hum, he wouldn't be worried about this old man!

"Don't worry, the emperor's qualifications are still young, it is wishful thinking to suppress us, and, you should know, Xiao Tong is back." Grand Master Pang said casually.

Ba Xian Wang listened, but his face turned livid, "Keg is back?"

"Well, I came back in the past few days." Grand Master Pang continued to speak casually, and with an understatement, he blocked all the escape routes of the Eight Sage Kings.

"What did he come back for?! Where's the Flying Star Army?" Eight Wise Kings stared at Grand Master Pang, with a harsh tone, "The frontier soldiers stationed outside are not allowed to enter Beijing without an order! He wants to resist the order!"

"Defang, have you forgotten? A few months ago, due to the incident in Qinghe County, Xiao Tong was stripped of his post as a general. He is now just a nobody in the army. He wrote a letter and came back. This is different from resisting the decree." Grand Master Pang said slowly, pointing at the chessboard and smiling, "Defang, you lost."

lost?Of course he lost!When he met Pang Ji 18 years ago, he lost in a complete mess!

"I won't let the capital into chaos, I won't let the situation change, I won't let you die, and I won't let you disrupt the court situation!" Eight Wise Kings stared at Pang Ji every word.

Pang Ji stared at the Eight Sage Kings, his eyes were dark and obscure, filled with inexplicable emotions, complicated and unpredictable, but it made the Eight Sage Kings feel terrified.

——Pang Ji was angry.

He knew that the more angry Pang Ji was, the calmer he would be.

But the Eight Sage King stared back at Pang Ji coldly.

Pang Ji wants to play with fire?He puts out the fire!

Even if Zhao Defang loses his life, he will definitely not let the Song Dynasty be in chaos again!He also decided not to... let Pang Ji have any chance.

Both of them are doing well, in each other's eyes, living well. ——This is his only luxury!

The two looked at each other coldly, and then——

Suddenly, Grand Master Pang, who was sitting in front of the chessboard, suddenly raised his hand and pulled it. The Eight Sage Kings were caught off guard and staggered.

The Eighth Sage King was annoyed, and just about to scold him, he suddenly fell silent, at such a close distance, with their foreheads touching, the tips of their noses close together, their lips so close that they were almost close together, as long as they opened their mouths, the breath of the two would be able to entangled with each other.

"...I will pull you in even if I die. Don't worry, I won't die...Defang, since the night you and I met 18 years ago, I have been thinking of your name in my heart. Daddy, only you are in my eyes and in my heart." Grand Master Pang said in a low voice, slowly word by word, and in the end he almost spoke with the lips of the Eight Sage Kings.

However, the Baxian King, who couldn't help shaking his heart since Pang Ji spoke, suddenly pushed him away.

Grand Master Pang didn't try to pull it, but just watched the Eight Sage Kings almost staggering back, then turned his back to him, his body was still trembling slightly, Grand Master Pang couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly, just like how many years ago, he was caught On the day when he refused and was strictly ordered to take back the jade pendant, he forced himself to suppress and endure.

——From that moment on, he knew that he had to be strong, he had to stand as tall as Defang, and he had to hold more power than Defang, so that he could get close to his deep love and madness people for many years.

"It's a gift from heaven that we are good to each other!!" Ba Xian Wang said in a hoarse voice, but he raised his hand and gently stroked his lips. The breath and temperature on his lips were the thoughts that had been hidden in his heart for many years. .

"...You know, I, Pang Ji, are greedy."

At some point, the person behind him approached, and the Eighth Sage King only felt that there was a cold but gentle embrace on his back.

The Eighth Sage King lowered his eyes, staring at the big hands around his waist, hugging him forcefully.

——Pang Ji... If people are too greedy, they will always lose something.

The Eighth Sage King closed his eyes fiercely, and then firmly broke away the big hand on his waist, while Grand Master Pang just kept silent and let the Eighth Sage King break his hand away.

The Eighth Sage King turned around and looked directly at Grand Master Pang, "Since Xiao Tong has come to Beijing, I will have a good talk with him."

After the eight virtuous kings finished speaking, they bypassed Taishi Pang and strode away without looking back.

Grand Master Pang turned around and looked at the Eight Sage Kings. Then, slowly, Grand Master Pang's eyes fell on the waist of the Eight Sage Kings, where a jade pendant hung.

——Bai Yupei, there should be a word of virtue on it.

A smile flashed in Grand Master Pang's eyes, and in Defang's heart...after all, he was there.

****

At this time, the Baijia Tavern.

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce are listening to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's talk about Kou Zhu.

"... That's it. We don't know about the rest." After Bai Yutang finished speaking, he drank a big glass of water.

Gongsun Ce frowned and thought, the situation was different from his previous life. In his previous life, Kou Zhuming discovered Liuzi Noodle Restaurant a month ago, and since then, he always ate at the noodle restaurant.But in this life, Kou Zhu didn't leave the palace much.

Strange, without leaving the palace, how did Kou Zhu discover the existence of the six sons?Without discovering the existence of the six sons, how could Kou Zhu commit suicide to frame Taishi Pang and lead to the case of replacing the civet cat with the prince?
