Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

"A lamp without a moon is not entertaining, and a moon without a lamp is not spring."

During the Lantern Festival, the city of Kyoto is bustling, and the lights are like water reflecting the prosperity of the night.

Pang Tong leaned on the city wall, watching the hustle and bustle below. Obviously, two months ago, the night market was banned in this capital, and four gates were closed. The tense atmosphere permeated the entire capital. At that time, everyone in the capital was probably thinking about It must be that the soldiers and horses of Daliao are coming.I heard that at that time, many people in Kyoto wanted to abscond.

But now, things have changed, and this capital is so lively again.

Also, people are the most forgetful.

If he was allowed to leave the capital for a few years, it is estimated that the people in the court would have forgotten him as the Flying Star General.

Suddenly, Pang Tong looked sideways to a certain place, where a man in blue, who looked like a scholar, was slowly walking through the bustling crowd under the guidance of another man in black.

The man in the black clothes had a dark complexion and a conspicuous crescent moon mark on his forehead. He lowered his head and said something to the scholar in Tsing Yi. The Scholar in Tsing Yi raised his head, narrowed his eyes and laughed.The two walked slowly, and Pang Tong knew that the man in black must have covered it with his wide sleeves, and his hand must be tightly holding the scholar in green.At the same time, the topic they were talking about must be about lantern riddles. Two days ago, when he went to eat in Kaifeng Mansion, the two of them said that they would come to guess lantern riddles.

Tsk, at this time, it must be Bao Heizi who is telling the lantern riddles for Gongsun Ce to guess.

Speaking of which, Gongsun Ce's eyes are still not healed, and the master of Lingguang Temple didn't make it clear whether it was a lifetime or half a year, he only said that it was an unavoidable calamity, and he also said it was a curse from God.However, Gongsun Ce didn't seem to care. Seeing that he was smiling every day, he knew that as long as this Gongsun Ce was with that Bao Heizi, whether he could see or not was not important to him.

The master of Lingguang Temple must have known it too, so he simply kept it vague, but why did he sigh at him when he rarely went to Lingguang Temple?Now it's all right, daddy urges him to go to the border every day, or let him get married.

What are they worried about.

Some things will always be forgotten.

"Brother Tongzi." Suddenly, a smiling voice sounded.

Pang Tong's body shook slightly, then he lowered his eyes, turned sideways, and looked at the young man who was walking towards him quickly.

This young man's face can only be said to be handsome, and his temperament is average, he can only be said to be gentle, and his smiling face does not stand out under the moonlight, but he, Pang Tong, just remembers it.

——Is it because of this guy's identity?

"It's rare to see Brother Tongzi here this year." The young man walked up to him and smiled, simply happy, the joy of being able to see Pang Tong here.

—Is he so happy to see him?

"I come here every year, thinking that this year I will be alone again, but I never thought I could see brother Tongzi." The young man said with a smile.

—every year...he knew.

"I heard that there are fun lantern riddles this year. Unfortunately, I can't go down to play." The young man said with a regretful tone, but he didn't have many regrets. Did he get used to his status?

"Go down if you want." Pang Tong was silent for a long time, and finally said, "I'll follow you, no problem."

The young man froze for a moment, then shook his head and laughed again, "No, I'll just talk to brother Tongzi here."

Pang Tong stared at him, "Why do you keep calling me Brother Tongzi?"

"Here, I can call you like this, but I can't do it in other places." The young man said, with a smile on his face, "In the past, I stayed alone, this year is really good, later, Shall we go eat wonton soup? Gongsun Ce said that there is a delicious one on the street."

Pang Tong looked away, stared down, and said lightly, "No, I will leave the capital later, it's time to go back."

The young man was stunned for a long while before he whispered, "Don't you want to rest?"

"It's been three months of rest." Pang Tong said hoarsely.

The young man stopped talking, and Pang Tong was also silent, his gaze fell on the bustling street below.

"Has it been three months?" The young man suddenly said in a low voice, "But you and I met and talked only twice, and this time, it's only three times."

Pang Tong was silent.

At this time, the night sky full of bright stars suddenly burst into red fireworks, and the people below cheered.

The fireworks are bright and colorful, but Pang Tong can't help but look at the young man beside him. The young man is watching the fireworks blooming in the sky, and he doesn't notice Pang Tong's gaze.

Noisy voices poured in, covering Pang Tong's voice——

The young man looked at Pang Tong blankly, "Just now, what did brother Tongzi say?"

Pang Tong shook his head, handed the young man a wooden box, then turned around, and disappeared in front of the young man with a speed so fast that the young man had no time to stop him.

The young man smiled wryly, looked down at the wooden box, and muttered to himself, "Why are you avoiding me?"

Then, just now, what did brother Tongzi say?

What did you say?

Pang Tong, who was galloping on the city wall of the capital, was expressionless, but his fists were tightly clenched, "I am happy to see you three times."

——Yes, happy, he is happy, but he is not satisfied.

*******

In the attic of an inn at the same time.This is the tallest loft in Kyoto, and it is the best place to watch fireworks.

At this moment, in the secluded box in the attic.

"It's too hasty for you to let Xiao Tong get married." The middle-aged man with a graceful and elegant temperament sat on the couch, looked at the man standing by the window, and sighed, "I know, what are you worried about."

"Keg isn't me." The man standing by the window said, "He's still young, he can't hold back and dormant."

"You...wasn't you quite young back then." The middle-aged man said, a little helpless, "You can't force him to marry just to stop Xiaotong's thoughts. Women are not fair either."

"He is different from me. Back then you and I were interested, I was willing to wait, and you were willing to wait, but now, he has thoughts that he shouldn't have, and the person he misses doesn't know anything. This situation is very dangerous. If Xiao Tong can't stop thinking, with Xiao Tong's temper, I'm afraid you and I won't be able to suppress him in the future." The man said, frowning tightly.

—He didn't want to have to fight his son in the future.

The middle-aged man sighed, "It would be great if I found out earlier."

"He hid it too well. If he hadn't done something he shouldn't have done at the border this time, you and I wouldn't have found out!" The man said, snorting coldly, taking advantage of the man's drunkenness, his son He could do it, and he and Defang saw it!How stupid!

——Since you can't forget it, why don't you think of a way to snatch that person over?

——You have endured it for so many years, and now you only want to avoid it?

Due to Defang's status, he couldn't say it so bluntly, so he had no choice but to force his stupid son! !

——If you really can’t let it go, then grab it!Go for it!If you don't dare to grab, don't dare to snatch, but only dare to run, then you should accept this thought early, hurry up, marry a wife and have children!

——There is no such cowardly person in their old Pang family!

*******

The wonton shop on the street has always been open for only three hours. The store owner said that he only has two hands, he can only make so many wontons, and he can only sell wontons for three hours.

Gongsun Ce was eating wontons, listening to the bustle in his ears, thinking that Kaifeng Mansion would definitely be lively tomorrow morning. In such a lively night, there must be a lot of people stealing, robbing and fighting. Hey, Lao Zhao and Mr. Zhan Zhao?Thank you for their hard work, I will go back and bring some bowls of wonton later.

"Bao Zheng." Suddenly, Pang Tong's voice sounded.

Gongsun Ce looked suspiciously at the sound, isn't Pang Tong leaving today?

However, Bao Zheng glanced at Pang Tong who was hiding in the dark, stood up, patted Gongsun Ce on the shoulder, and whispered, "Wait for me here."

Gongsun Ce nodded, squinted his eyes and recalled the voice. Pang Tong's voice calling Bao Zheng seemed a bit strange?

"Bao Zheng, let me ask you, if Gongsun Ce refuses to agree to you, what will you do?"

Bao Zheng frowned and looked at Pang Tong who was hiding in the shadows. Pang Tong's expression could not be seen clearly, but the aura emanating from his whole body was somewhat dangerous. Pang Tong seemed to be suppressing something.

Out of instinct, Bao Zheng decided to tell the truth, "I will probably try my best to keep Ah Ce by my side. Of course, I won't hurt him."

"You won't give up?"

"will not."

"Shouldn't you let Gongsun Ce marry a wife and have children? This is for his own good, isn't it?" Pang Tong's voice suddenly became sharp.

Bao Zheng frowned, what happened to Pang Tong?

"What does the world's opinion have to do with me? If I can make Ah Ce safe and happy, and Ah Ce is happy by my side, why should I follow the world's opinion?" Bao Zheng said with a frown.

Pang Tong stopped talking, and after a long while, he laughed in a low voice, "You're right, I'm a demon."

Staring at Pang Tong, Bao Zheng said, "If you care too much, you will worry about gains and losses, and you will be anxious."

Pang Tong stepped out of the shadows and looked at Bao Zheng, "It seems that you have been like this before."

"Yes." Bao Zheng nodded, turned around and walked towards Gongsun Ce who was still sitting at the table, "I'll leave if I have nothing to do."

"Is this wonton so delicious?" Pang Tong raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Ace likes it."

Pang Tong nodded, thought for a while, then turned around and galloped away.

Gongsun Ce heard Pang Tong's footsteps going away, "Hey, isn't Pang Tong leaving?"

"Probably." Bao Zheng said, took Gongsun Ce's hand, and picked up the packed wontons, "We should go back."

"What did Pang Tong say to you just now?"

"I don't know... I asked a lot of inexplicable things." Bao Zheng didn't want to say too much, but his intuition told him that the capital in the future would probably be very lively because of Pang Tong.

******

The young man holding the wooden box and walking down the steps of the city wall——Zhao Fan, looked up and saw Pang Tong who was supposed to leave, and couldn't help but rejoice, "Brother Tongzi!"

Pang Tong stepped forward, took the wooden box, grabbed Zhao Fan's wrist, and pulled him down. The prince who was waiting at the side was stunned.Why?

"I'm not feeling well, and I plan to go back later." Pang Tong glanced lightly at the prince who wanted to step forward.

Wang Gonggong couldn't help but pause when he stepped forward, and then he bowed his head and bowed his hands and retreated.

"That's great." Zhao Fan narrowed his eyes with a smile. No matter what the reason is, he will be very happy if he can talk and meet Brother Tongzi more.

Seeing Zhao Fan's smiling eyes, Pang Tong's eyes softened. He raised his hand and threw the wooden box to the prince, while pulling Zhao Fan's wrist, "Let's go, I'll eat wontons with you."

"Okay! How about going shopping after eating?"

"it is good."

*******

So, in the attic box of a certain inn, a middle-aged man with a graceful temperament pointed at the smiling Zhao Fan and Pang Tong walking side by side on the street, and sighed, "Keg didn't leave."

The man gritted his teeth with a sullen face, "You bastard!"

--very good!The stupid son is enlightened!
