Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

"So, what about you? Why are you here?" Pang Tong asked, his eyes sweeping the street outside intentionally or unintentionally.

Such a subtle movement was noticed by Gongsun Ce, perhaps because he had fought with Pang Tong in his previous life, and Gongsun Ce was a little sensitive to Pang Tong's behavior. Therefore, Gongsun Ce raised his hand to pick up the teacup, drank lightly, and the corners of his eyes Glanced out the window.

Outside the window, on the street, the funeral procession slowly passed by, followed by an eerie silence.

Gongsun Ce had a bad feeling in his heart.

At this time, Bao Zheng, who had been paying attention to Pang Tong and Gongsun Ce, naturally discovered it.

Bao Zheng stared at it for a while, then slowly turned his head to look at Pang Tong whose expression suddenly became indifferent, "Is it because of this, General Pang?"

Pang Tong raised his eyes to look at Bao Zheng, his indifferent expression evoked a sudden smile, "Eight Wise Kings and my father Grand Master Pang both said that Bao Zheng is a smart man, seeing him today, he is really extraordinary."

"That's the Eight Sage Kings and Grand Master Pang Liao Zan." Bao Zheng cupped his hands and said calmly.

Pang Tong looked at Bao Zheng, and his smile deepened, but a gleam of light flashed across his sharp eyes, "Then, Bao Zheng, how about we make a bet?"

Bao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Pang Tong, bet?What does this promising General Pang of Song Dynasty want to do?

"I'm not good at gambling." Bao Zheng said calmly, but he became vigilant in his heart. What does General Flying Star want to do?

Pang Tong snorted, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bao Zheng, not good at gambling?Rather than unwilling to gamble?

well.

Pang Tong got up, and his lazy voice showed that he could not refuse, "Bao Zheng, just seven days. Within seven days, I bet you won't be able to get out of Qinghe County."

When Gongsun Ce heard this, his heart sank. What does Pang Tong mean? !

Bao Zheng just looked at Pang Tong, got up, cupped his hands, and said in a deep voice, "So, then Bao Zheng will wait and see."

Pang Tong stared at Bao Zheng for a while, then smiled, the smile was indifferent, revealing a trace of unspeakable irony.

Then, Pang Tong just turned around and left!

After Pang Tong left, Gongsun Ce stood up and looked out the window. The funeral procession had already left, but the street was empty? !

Gongsun Ce frowned, what was going on with this weird feeling?

Bao Zheng saw Gongsun Ce frowning and thinking, smiled slightly, and pulled Gongsun Ce to sit beside him, "Okay, let's sit down and eat."

When Gongsun Ce heard that he was eating, he turned his head and glanced around. The surrounding area was empty, there was no one there.

At this time, Bao Zheng followed Gongsun Ce's line of sight and frowned slightly. Didn't there be a few people there just now?

"Let's go, let's go to the kitchen." Bao Zheng pulled Gongsun Ce up and said.

Gongsun Ce nodded, no matter whether this Qinghe County is haunted or something, we have to fill our stomach first!

The two came to the kitchen. Fortunately, although the things in the kitchen were not very fresh, it was still possible to make noodles and stir-fry vegetables. Bao Zheng rolled up his sleeves and began to make noodles, while Gongsun Ce washed them. Serving the dishes, the movements were a little clumsy, but serious. Bao Zheng watched from the side, his eyes were soft, and he remembered that when he was in Luzhou, Gongsun Ce used to guard the stall for him so seriously at night...

"Bao Zheng, tell me, where have all the people in the inn gone?" Gongsun Ce asked while washing the dishes, thinking with some annoyance in his heart, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were not here at this time... It's really troublesome Well, that Pang Tong is good at martial arts, and if this Qinghe County pretender uses force, he and Bao Zheng will be in trouble.

"Should have left with the funeral procession." Bao Zheng kneaded his face intently and replied while thinking.

Gongsun Ce was taken aback, the funeral procession?

"The funeral procession just now was a bit weird." Bao Zheng explained.

Gongsun Ce thought about it carefully, although it was weird, but...Gongsun Ce looked up at Bao Zheng in confusion, "Bao Zheng, those people left with the funeral procession?" Why didn't he see it?

"The funeral was very quiet, without any noise, but it seemed that it had been held many times. Those walking on the road followed naturally, as if it was a natural thing." Bao Zheng said lightly, but Then his tone turned cold, "General Pang should be aware of the weirdness inside, but he doesn't seem to care about it."

Gongsun Ce thought silently, indeed, since entering Qinghe County, there has been mystery and weirdness everywhere, the feigned lively scenes, the empty inns and hotels, the numb passers-by, the weird funerals, and... ... Pang Tong who shouldn't be here!

Everything here reminded Gongsun Ce of the Facebook murder case in his previous life. The Facebook murder case was also full of weirdness at the beginning, and it was also very complicated and somewhat related!

Pang Tong should know what's going on inside, but, as Bao Zheng said, he doesn't want to interfere with it, so, under the guise of a bet, do you want Bao Zheng to intervene?

If Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were around, he would definitely support it, but now it's only him and Bao Zheng...

Gongsun Ce frowned slightly and looked at Bao Zheng. If Bao Zheng was allowed to intervene, the matter would definitely be cleared up, but the danger would certainly not be less... But, if it doesn't matter, what should the people of Qinghe County do?If he, Gongsun Ce, was the only one here, he would definitely not sit idly by!

But what about Bao Zheng?

Bao Zheng put the finished noodles into the pot and turned his head to prepare for cooking, but seeing Gongsun Ce's bored face, he wiped his hands, raised his hand and pinched Gongsun Ce's cheek, with a hint of hidden pampering, "What do you think? Woolen cloth?"

Gongsun Ce was stunned, a little blushing and a little bit annoyed and pulled off Bao Zheng's hand. When did Bao Zheng like to tease him? !

"Don't worry." Bao Zheng patted Gongsun Ce's head with a smile, "With General Pang Da, I will be fine." So, you will be fine.

——Because I will protect you, Gongsun Ce.

Gongsun Ce was startled for a moment, and then his heart warmed up. The tacit understanding between the two of them needless to say, he didn't express his worries, but Bao Zheng already understood.

"It would be great if Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were here." Gongsun Ce whispered his worries.

Bao Zheng thought about it, and while taking the dishes that Gongsun Ce washed and handed over, he said with a smile, "Those two boys are like monkeys, maybe they will pop out for you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Gongsun Ce thought about it, yes, but looking at Bao Zheng's posture, he is sure to wade through the muddy water in Qinghe County!I won't say any more, as Bao Zheng said, with General Pang Tong around, it is certain that he would not dare to let Bao Zheng, the future parent officer of Duanzhou, be in danger.

So, Gongsun Ce sat at the kitchen table, smilingly waiting for Master Bao Zheng to treat him.

*****

And at this time in the capital, the Palace of the Eight Sages.

The Baxian King stared at the person below with a cold expression. After a long while, the Baxian King asked slowly, "You said that the official road to Qinghe County was blocked by rocks rolled down from the mountain?"

The kneeling official kowtowed tremblingly, "Going back to the lord, the matter is like this... Now, the inkstone carts sent from Duanzhou to the capital have detoured, and Qinghe County is now blocked. No one knows what's going on inside. ..."

The Eighth Sage King frowned, waved his hands and said, "Okay, you go back first!"

The official couldn't react, "My lord?"

"You go back and do what you have to do!" Eight Sage King frowned, his tone was steady but unrefutable, "Don't talk nonsense if you shouldn't say or care about what you shouldn't!"

The official was startled, and hurriedly responded respectfully, got up in embarrassment, and hurriedly retreated.

When the officials retreated, the Eight Sage King unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table, knit his eyebrows together, and murmured, "Qinghe County...as expected...is a restless..."

At this time, the housekeeper from outside hurried in, saluted respectfully, and said in a low voice, "My lord, Prime Minister Wang is here."

The Eighth Sage King came back to his senses, was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said, "Please come in, Lord Prime Minister!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the housekeeper brought in a man, who was about 50 years old, with a kind face, a smile, and kind eyebrows and eyes, which made people feel close at first sight.

The Eighth Sage King stood up with a smile, and cupped his hands slightly, "Hey! Is that the gust of wind that brought you here?"

The old man, Prime Minister Wang, smiled and cupped his hands in return, "Oh, my lord, this gift of yours is going to ruin this old man!"

"Hehe... how can you! You are my teacher!" Ba Xianwang said with a smile.

Prime Minister Wang smiled, seeing the gentle and handsome face of the Eight Sage Kings even though he was nearly forty years old, and his graceful and elegant demeanor, Prime Minister Wang sighed in his heart. Refusing to give up that absurd idea.

"My lord, I'm entrusted to come here today." Prime Minister Wang put away the sigh in his heart and said with a smile.

The Eight Sage King's heart suddenly jumped, entrusted by others?Is... that old crab?

The Eighth Sage King slowly put away the smile on his face, and his tone became cold, "But Grand Master Pang?"

Prime Minister Wang seemed unaware of the change and indifference in the Eight Sage King's attitude, and still said with a smile on his face, "Yes!"

"What did he entrust you with?" Although he was agitated, the Eighth Wise King asked slowly for some reason. If he followed his temperament in the past few years, he would have waved his sleeves away impatiently. guest!

"It's a matter of Qinghe County." Prime Minister Wang was also worried at this moment, fearing that the good-tempered Eighth Sage King would lose his temper. He had seen the entanglement between this so-and-so and this person from the very beginning. I'm afraid that there is no one in the world who understands the entanglement between the two better than him. Now, seeing that the Eight Wise Kings didn't lose their temper directly, but seemed to hold back their temper, they couldn't help being surprised, but on the surface they said it hastily.

The Eighth Sage King was taken aback, Qinghe County?

When it came to business, Prime Minister Wang put away the smile on his face and said seriously, "My lord, we already know about the stranded inkstones that Duanzhou paid tribute to this year. The Pang mansion is very worried. He has received some bad news. I'm afraid that the blocking of Qinghe County has something to do with the case a few years ago. In addition, Flying Star General Pang Tong is also blocked in Qinghe County now. The official road is blocked."

Eight Wise Kings frowned, it really is so!But, how dare they block Pang Tong and Bao Zheng in Qinghe County?

These people are really crazy!

"What does he mean?" Eight Sage King asked, his heart, which was suffocated because of Qinghe County, became inexplicably looser. If the old crab wants to intervene, then this matter will not be troublesome...

"He's going to Liao Kingdom." Prime Minister Wang said with a frown, a little helpless in his tone.

That guy from the Pang Mansion actually wanted to go to the Liao Kingdom at this juncture, even if it was for the sake of his sweetheart... Ahem, to share the concerns of the court, there is no need to do this, right?This is very dangerous!

When the Eight Sage King heard this, his face sank!
