Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

When Gongsun Ce woke up, he saw that the sky outside the carriage was full of colorful clouds, and there were people coming and going, which was quite lively.

"Here we are. Let's get out of the car." Bao Zheng loosened his arms around Gongsun Ce's waist. Although he felt reluctance in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He spoke very calmly, only with a touch of softness in his tone.

"En." Gongsun Ce responded, and immediately opened the curtain and jumped down.

When Bao Zheng saw it, he frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, he just sighed in his heart, this man just had to watch, people coming and going outside, he just jumped like this, wouldn't he be afraid of falling?

Gongsun Ce got out of the carriage and looked up, a little surprised, hey, why isn't it a post house?

And at this moment, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, who had arrived earlier and reserved their room and dinner, had already jumped out, "Brother Gongsun!"

Gongsun Ce looked at Zhan Zhao and asked, "This is?"

"This is Jiaohe County! Brother Bao said, we will rest in this inn today." Zhan Zhaohan said with a smile.

Bai Yutang on the side rolled his eyes around, full of excitement, and when Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he couldn't wait to say, "Brother Gongsun, let's go shopping outside and be right back!" Zhan Zhao ran away in a flash.

Gongsun Ce blinked, turned around and looked at Bao Zheng who was holding the package behind him, what's going on?

Bao Zheng just smiled lightly, and dragged Gongsun Ce into the inn.

After sitting in the carriage for so long, Gongsun Ce was already tired. Although he slept in the middle, he went into the inn. Gongsun Ce washed up first, and after he felt refreshed, he sat at the table and drank Bao Zheng's brew. Tea.

At this time, Gongsun Ce already knew why Bao Zheng didn't live in the post house.

Bao Zheng wanted to enter Duanzhou in a low-level service, to see and understand some things.

"Should we enter Duanzhou in microservices from here?" Gongsun Ce asked after finishing his tea and putting down his cup.

Bao Zheng smiled and looked at Gongsun Ce's soft eyes, he knew that Gongsun Ce must be able to understand his own thoughts, do he and Gongsun Ce have a good understanding?

"Well, let's take this route." Bao Zheng pointed to a certain route on the cowhide map on the table.

"Where did this come from?" Gongsun Ce asked curiously, pointing to the map. The map of this county government is very strictly managed. Bao Zheng has not yet taken office in Duanzhou. Where did he get this thing?

"Before leaving Beijing, I asked the emperor to give it to me." Bao Zheng said with a smile.

The corner of Gongsun Ce's mouth twitched, so... Bao Zheng had already planned for this subdued service, right?Including... the things that will be encountered in Duanzhou have already been planned?

Sure enough... as expected of Bao Zheng.

"I want Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to go to Duanzhou first." Bao Zheng put away the map and said.

Gongsun Ce was stunned, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang?He thought that although Zhan Zhao was precocious and stable beyond his age, Bai Yutang was too evasive and playful, the two of them were still children after all, even with martial arts, if someone wanted to plot, would they be able to handle it?

Gongsun Ce expressed his considerations one by one.

Bao Zheng thought for a while, and said helplessly, "But, there is nothing you can do now, don't worry. Just let them have a look, don't let them be troublesome, you should..." At this point, Bao Zheng frowned Well, that kid Bai Yutang likes to be troublesome!

"Forget it, let them follow us." Gongsun Ce patted Bao Zheng's hand, and said seriously, "It's okay if there's nothing wrong with Bai Yutang, we won't be able to explain it to his parents."

If it was just Zhan Zhao alone, Gongsun Ce would definitely agree with it. Although Zhan Zhao is still a little innocent, Zhan Zhao is very smart. Most importantly, Zhan Zhao has gradually shown the calm and self-restraint of Nan Xia back then. Therefore, if Zhan Zhao went to Duanzhou alone to inquire, it would definitely be fine.

But Bai Yutang can't do it, no matter how smart he is, he's still a child...

When Bao Zheng heard the words, he didn't say any more, and silently tapped the table with his index finger habitually, which was his habit when making some decisions.

Knowing Bao Zheng's habit, Gongsun Ce stood up and packed his medicine bag.

What the two of them didn't know was that at this moment, the two children who were secretly listening outside their wing room had already disappeared.

At this point, it was already night.

Zhan Zhao chased the white shadow in front of him, and his heart also became angry, this little white is really wayward! !After they bought something and came back, because Xiaobai said they wanted to eavesdrop, the two hid outside the house and listened secretly, but they didn't expect to hear it. Originally, Brother Bao wanted them to go to Duanzhou Weifu for a private visit, but because Xiaobai Bai Er changed his mind, and Xiao Bai turned around and ran away as soon as he heard this!

Zhan Zhao stared closely at the white figure in front of him. Although Xiao Bai's lightness skill was good, it was still a bit inferior to his own. Zhan Zhao took a deep breath and jumped in front of Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang glared at Zhan Zhao who was blocking the way, gritted his teeth and said, "Get out of the way! Or I'll beat you up!"

Zhan Zhao saw Bai Yutang's angry face, but the anger in his heart gradually dissipated. This little Bai was always strong, and it was natural for him to lose his temper when he was so disgusted by Brother Bao and Brother Gongsun.

So, Zhan Zhao opened his mouth and said seriously, "Yutang, don't be angry, I'll go to Duanzhou with you."

Bai Yutang was taken aback, then hummed, "I'm not going to Duanzhou, what am I going to Duanzhou for!"

Zhan Zhao smiled, stepped forward, and held Bai Yutang's hand, "Let's go to Duanzhou, find out the news, and show Brother Bao and Gongsun the good things! Since they say we don't know how to do things, let's do it." Let them see what happens!"

Bai Yutang was stunned. At this moment, the bright moon was in the sky, and Zhan Zhao under the moonlight had a smile on his face, his eyes were bright, like the bright moon in the sky, Bai Yutang couldn't help but look away, and the hand held by Zhan Zhao tightened, he was disgusted Afterwards, he wished he could run far away immediately, but Zhan Zhao went to Duanzhou instead after being rejected. Comparing the two, Bai Yutang had to admit that this little bald head was much more promising than him. .

And what satisfied him most was that the little bald head immediately chased him after he ran away, and wanted to go to Duanzhou with him... This Zhan Zhao is really loyal!Brothers!

As a result, the sullenness in my heart gradually dissipated.So, Bai Yutang grinned, his beautiful eyebrows and eyes suddenly curved up, very pretty, Zhan Zhao looked at it, couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, Xiao Bai is really prettier than girls!

"Zhan Zhao! You will be my good brother from now on!" Bai Yutang patted Zhan Zhao's shoulder passionately.

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then became confused, and replied blankly, "We are good brothers from the beginning."

"Ah? That's right." Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled, but then stared again, that's right, he was a good brother a long time ago, so he should have come to find him!

"I'm hungry!" Bai Yutang complained as he rubbed his stomach that was starting to bulge.

Zhan Zhao patted his head, hehe smirked, he threw all the snacks he sold at the inn.

"Let's go, Yutang. Let's go ahead and see if there is anything to eat..."

"Zhan Zhao is an idiot!!"

*****

The next day, when Gongsun Ce woke up, he saw Bao Zheng sitting at the table, flipping through a pile of snacks on the table thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" Gongsun Ce rubbed his eyes and sat up. He slept with Bao Zheng last night and had a good night's dream, but when he woke up, he felt his mouth was numb, and Gongsun Ce touched it in a daze. Has your mouth been bitten by a mosquito?

Bao Zheng at the table looked at Gongsun Ce blankly touching his mouth while looking at himself blankly, Bao Zheng's heart trembled, the sweet smell that made him linger last night seemed to make him hot again, He hurriedly stood up, then coughed lightly, went to the bedside and sat down, picked up the coat by the bedside and handed it to Gongsun Ce with a calm face, and helped the still confused Gongsun Ce put on the coat.

After Gongsun Ce finished dressing, he said in a low voice, "Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang have gone to Duanzhou."

Gongsun Ce was taken aback for a moment, then immediately turned his head to look at Bao Zheng, his eyes cleared up, "Are they going to Duanzhou?"

"Those two martial arts masters overheard what we said yesterday." Bao Zheng said calmly.

Hearing Bao Zheng's indifferent tone, Gongsun Ce froze, thinking in his heart that something was wrong, this man is angry..., martial arts master?Was Bao Zheng angry at those two children for eavesdropping?

Gongsun Ce touched his nose, pretending to be surprised and worried, and asked, "Will the two of them be in danger?"

Bao Zheng lowered his head and glanced at Gongsun Ce with a half-smile. Did he want to intercede with those two heroes? "Those two are not our powerless scholars, don't worry."

Gongsun Ce looked at Bao Zheng pretending to be innocent, this man seemed very angry.

Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce speechlessly. After a while, he sighed, put his arms around Gongsun Ce, bowed his head and said softly, "Okay, I'm not angry anymore, don't worry, that's fine, they are still young, go to Duanzhou It’s also an exercise.”

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce raised his head and smiled, feeling relieved.

He was really afraid that Bao Zheng would be really angry, then Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang would definitely not be able to reap the benefits.

Lord Bao, who doesn't make anyone angry, how far he can go when Lord Bao is angry, this is the lesson of blood and tears summed up by countless colleagues in Kaifeng Mansion in the previous life, including colleagues in the court.

But Gongsun Ce only cared about relaxing, but didn't realize that Bao Zheng, who was sitting beside the bed, held him in his arms and stroked his back while he was still sitting on the bed. When he recovered, Gongsun Ce felt embarrassed. There is still a trace of unspeakable shyness? ?

Gongsun Ce's body became a little stiff, and the soft body in his arms suddenly became stiff, Bao Zheng naturally noticed it.But on the face, he was still calm and serious, and the movement of stroking Gongsun Ce's back was natural, even revealing a sense of reason.

So, Gongsun Ce, who was a little embarrassed at first, felt that his embarrassment was, wasn't it... a little overreacted? ? ?

Kyoto, Anxiang Pavilion.

The light shadows are horizontal and the water is clear and shallow, the dark fragrance is floating and the moon is dusk..

Everyone knows that there are unparalleled beauties in the Anxiang Pavilion in Kyoto, and the fragrance of the wine, but it is a pity that the beauties do not sell themselves, and one pot of wine per person, but this kind of Anxiang Pavilion with weird rules, people come and go, and the business is booming, so that, Those who want to come to the Anxiang Pavilion to eat and admire the beauties have to send someone to locate them in advance.

As for the Anxiang Pavilion, the environment is quiet, with a lobby in the front and several small attics in the backyard.

These small attics are "specific seats". The so-called specific seats are naturally not for ordinary people to sit in. Even if you hold tens of thousands of taels of gold, this place is not for you to sit in.

At this time, it was in one of the small attics.

About forty years old, the gentle-faced man leisurely picked up a chess piece, and then slowly slapped it into the board.

On the opposite side of the man, the same forty-something majestic man picked up the chess piece without changing his face, and gently put it on the chess board. The chess piece that already had a way out was once again in crisis!

The gentle man chuckled, waved the fan in his hand, and said, "The grand master's chess skills are still so advanced. This king admits defeat."

The majestic man, Grand Master Pang Ji, caged the chess pieces silently, but did not speak. The gentle man, the Eight Sage King, saw it and smiled, "What? Still worried about Feiyan?"
