Kaifeng Cat and Mouse Detective Manuscript

The three of them rode fast, not daring to delay along the way, for fear of meeting another moth like Yingzhou Town.When the East China Sea reached the critical point, it was less than ten days away from the date on the invitation.

Donghai has long been the focus of the court's attention. Bai Yutang has followed Brother Lu over many times. Although he doesn't know much about this place, he is more familiar with it than Zhan Zhao and Ren Xingluo.

After entering the city, Ren Xingyu was the first to dismount. Looking left and right all the way, the surrounding area was almost full of businessmen, and there were many things that could not be seen in Kaifeng.

This trip can be regarded as fun,? Bai Yutang chose a location near the sea among many inns, and when he stepped into the lobby, he found that there was a lot of people inside. Is it very lively? In addition to the local residents of Song Dynasty, there are also many foreign businessmen. Messy, can't hear what is said.

The horse was pulled away by the little doorman, and Xiao Er ran over from the drunk driver when the three people entered the threshold, and greeted the three people as they walked in.

"Two rooms upstairs."

Zhan Zhao said, took out the broken silver from Zhan Zhao's waist, and after receiving the sign in front of the counter, the group followed another second brother upstairs.

This room is quite exquisitely set up. When you open the door, you can see the corridor facing the sea, which is separated by light blue linen curtains. When the sea breeze blows, the Zhanfengduo, which is made of jade stones and Zhu Bei hanging in the corner, jingles. .

And the surrounding furnishings are not all in the style of the Song Dynasty. Bai Yutang put Zhanlu on the table casually, walked to the corridor and opened the curtain. A bamboo couch was placed in front of him. Looking down, there were pale yellow sand and reefs. There are many ships parked on the calm sea.

Bai Yutang sat cross-legged on the couch and looked at the stove on the small square table, which was no bigger than a hand. There were a few pieces of charcoal in it, a pot of clear water on it, and three sets of tightly covered porcelain jars beside him. When he opened it, he saw that they were There are three types of tea, but Bai Yutang doesn't know much about tea, he is only familiar with one of the cans, its color looks a bit like Yangxian purple bamboo shoots.

The charcoal was ignited with a torch, and a puff of white smoke immediately choked his nostrils. Bai Yutang took the bamboo fan on the wooden couch and fanned it lightly, while covering his nose and coughing. Fortunately, it was windy at the seaside, and the smoke would disappear in a short while. When Zhan Zhao came out, the tea had already been brewed.

"Come, come, try this cup of good tea made by the official's red seal."

The Bai Yutang porcelain cup was [-]% full, Zhan Zhaofang stepped out of the curtain, and felt a gust of wind coming towards his face along with the white object, and he only saw what was in his hand when he raised his hand sideways to catch it.

"Exhibiting a certain warrior is probably a waste of Yutang's craftsmanship."

"Where does the craftsmanship come from? If it's not craftsmanship, it's just a mess."

Bai Yutang smiled, put down the teapot and put it on the stove again, and looked at the sea face to face with Zhan Zhao.

"Shen Liren shouldn't be far from here?"

Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered Shen Liren, the owner of the Qianxiang Building who claims to know everything. This time, many martial arts people came, but most of them came to join in the fun like Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang. I don't know much, but Shen Liren must know more about these overseas forces again and again all the year round.

"Shen Liren...that's right, I forgot about Qianxiang Tower!"

Bai Yutang slapped his thigh, remembering that his good friend Shen Liren often said that there were only things that others couldn't think of but that he didn't know. Since they were all in the East China Sea, why not find a time to go and inquire about it, so as to know ourselves and our enemies.

"Look at the weather, it's just right for us to go there tomorrow morning."

The sun was setting outside the corridor, and lights were lit up on the long street. Zhan Zhao got up and took down the lantern on the corridor, lit it with a folder, and put it back. The outside of the lamp was covered with a layer of white paper , a little candle, hazy.

"Ai Hu and the others didn't specify the location. Could it be that the whole city is looking for someone when the time comes?"

Bai Yutang turned around and walked to the fence, looking down at the streets and alleys, the East China Sea is connected to the waterways of various countries, and its prosperity is no less than that of Kaifeng Mansion.

When the sun goes down, the tide rises, and the sea breeze and fishy smell come up together. Bai Yutang is used to it after staying in Songjiang Mansion for a long time, and Zhan Zhao ran back to the room when he smelled the smell.

"Cat, why don't you go out for a walk?"

Bai Yutang was bored in the corridor by himself. He watched the lights for a while, then closed the doors and windows and went back to the room. There were a few candles burning in the room, and it was difficult to see people clearly.

"also may."

The two left as soon as they said they would. Bai Yutang and Zhanlu put it in the room, took a bamboo fan from the table and opened it leisurely, and went downstairs like a son.

"Second brother, is there any special place to go here at night?"

Zhan Zhao called the waiter who was cleaning the table, and asked Ju Que from his left hand to his right.

"The two of you must be here for the first time. There are not many places to go to the East China Sea at night. If you have more time, you can follow the rocks behind." Xiao Er pointed to the back of the inn, "there is a place in front of it." There is a pond in the mountain stream, named "Yingyun Han", and on the mountain, there is a "Whale Watching Pavilion", after climbing to the top, you can overlook most of the East China Sea."

"It sounds good, thank you little brother. Yutang, let's go and have a look."

Although Zhan Zhao hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could figure out what kind of place it was from the two names, and it happened that he and Bai Yutang had a lot of time.

The reef behind the inn is behind the street, with only faint lights shining from the attic. A wooden path has been built on the reef for pedestrians to pass by. There are sand and rocks under the wooden path. Occasionally, the sea water rises up and beats on the stone.

The two walked for tens of miles, and the wooden road turned into bluestone slabs. Bai Yutang looked up and saw a big mountain in front of him. There were many men and women going up and down the mountain road, and there were vendors selling gadgets on the side of the road. Even though it was night, it was very lively. But nothing less.

"Let's go."

Zhan Zhao stretched out his palm to Bai Yutang, Bai Yutang looked at him and chuckled, then he took it up and walked up the mountain road together.

After walking about several hundred meters, a huge stone blocked the road with three big characters on it: "Yingyun Han", and the sound of water flow could be heard behind it.

Bai Yutang looked around, and there were a lot of people gathered in front of and behind the boulder, and then walked up to the boulder and looked down, a large piece of stars came into view, and disappeared into the crevice of the mountain, three or two bamboo rafts went down the boulder all the way. Swipe ahead, if it weren't for the fluctuations in the water surface, it would really be the same as the night sky.

"I think it's the first time I've been here many times. I heard Shen Liren say that there are three wonders in the East China Sea. One of them is called "Who knows me from a tall building, and the Milky Way presses down on a light boat at night." It should be said here."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao went all the way down to the water's edge, asking like an old man parked on the bank, "How do you count this bamboo raft?"

"Half taels of silver come and go." The old man replied with a smile.

Bai Yutang: "So expensive?"

"The two gentlemen don't know. Although the water is calm, it is very difficult to paddle. Just look at that," the old man pointed to the crevice in front of the mountain, "there is a waterfall below. If you are not experienced, the bamboo raft can I rushed down to feed the fish."

"It's such a good night, why don't we try the fun of being in the sky full of stars."

After hearing the old man's words, Zhan Zhao readily paid the money and set foot on the bamboo raft with Bai Yutang, and when they got to the middle of the pool, a little far from the shore, the two of them fully realized the beauty of the scene.

The original noisy sound has gone away, only the sound of pennies splashing water, and the moon in the sky is reflected beside me, as the bamboo raft advances, it seems to be flying in the air.

The old man rowed around in the pool, and when he reached the shore again, there were few people there. Zhan Zhao and the two continued to go up, and it didn't take long before they saw a simple wooden pavilion. It was unknown who made the word "Wingjing Pavilion" , written in a chic atmosphere.

"If it's not for the secular affairs, it's okay to live here for a long time."

Zhan Zhao walked outside the pavilion, raised his hand and looked at the thousands of lights down the mountain.

"The mundane affairs will also dissipate, it just depends on where your heart is." Bai Yutang sighed, but unfortunately he knew that Zhan Zhao might not be able to do without these mundane affairs, "Forget it, let's not talk about these things, finally come out , not to mention the long time, you and I can live here tonight."

"Yutang said so."

The two of them did not go back in the end, but flew to the tree on the edge of the cliff and lay down next to each other. Below was the shimmering "Yingyun Han".

"Someone."

Suddenly, Zhan Zhao closed his eyes for a while, then suddenly opened them, and then looked to the right.At this time, Zi Shi had passed, not to mention the pavilion, even the street below the mountain was gone, so why would anyone go up the mountain at this time?Moreover, the sound of these footsteps is relatively frivolous, and it is by no means an ordinary person.In the middle of the night, what are the martial arts people doing sneaking up here?

Zhan Zhao leaned slightly, hidden among the layers of leaves, watching two black-clothed figures walking up the stone path under the Whale Watching Pavilion, with packages on their backs, walking quickly around the pavilion, and then took the put things down.

The weather is very good tonight, and the two of them can be clearly seen moving.

"What is this burying?"

Bai Yutang transmitted the sound into the secret, lifted the branches and leaves in front of his head slightly, looked at the black figure behind the pavilion who was digging the ground with a wooden branch and asked.

"I can't see clearly."

The thing next to it was a black mass, I only knew it was about the length of a forearm, half the thickness of a pavilion pillar.

The two men in black acted quickly. After digging a hole, they buried the things carefully, and scattered the dead branches and leaves from the forest on the top. They walked down the mountain after everything was done.

"Go down and have a look."

Bai Yutang stared at the two of them until they disappeared into the street, then jumped down with Zhan Zhao, went to the edge of the pit just now, and kicked away the branches above.Zhan Zhao bent down and picked up a wooden branch, and dug up the soil again, gradually revealing the bundle of black things.

Bai Yutang reached out and took it out, but before he lifted the cloth, he smelled sulfur and saltpeter: "This is... □□!"

Zhan Zhao tore it with one hand, and the outer layer of fabric was torn open. As expected, there was a bundle of gunpowder inside. The volume was so large that it could blow up the pavilion, let alone bury it in two places.

"This matter always feels related to this invitation." Bai Yutang looked away from the gun in his hand and said firmly.

Zhan Zhao: "The two men in black just now are from the Central Plains."

"So, who will mention that you want to visit the Whale Pavilion when you see it?" Bai Yutang continued.

"It's a pity that we came here tonight, otherwise, no matter whether it's for this invitation or something else, I'm afraid there will be a lot of casualties."

Bai Yutang shook his head, and together with Zhan Zhao, he dug out the tree in another place, and then covered the branches again, lest they come to check again.

After being made such a fuss, both of them lost the fun of continuing to look at the stars and the moon, and it was easy to deal with it. They shouldn't send this thing to the government rashly at this time, for fear that they will startle the snake.So Zhan Zhao thought about it, and threw the two bundles into the sea, and when the tide rose, they disappeared instantly.Then he and Bai Yutang flew into the room from the window of the inn. .
