[Rat and Cat] Han Palace Autumn

Bai Yutang punched the wall, and said with a sneer, "It's a good move to abandon the pawns and save the car. In this way, we will completely cut off our clues!"

This is really a fall short, even though Zhan Zhao has always been calm, he was very angry at this moment, but he still held his breath in the end: "No, did Yutang forget that the Emperor Youming is not on the same side as this Zhizhou, and we can also start from there—no matter what How, the crime of Zhizhou is enough, and now it is deserved, so let's take it as a crime for the people of Yunyang in advance!"

"You're right," Bai Yutang also calmed down, "Now I only hope that the appeasement envoy can send someone to take over as soon as possible. At this time, there can't be any extra incidents."

Zhan Zhao nodded, ripped off the outer night clothes, revealing the fourth-rank official clothes inside, went out to plan to attract the patrolling soldiers from the government office, and then waited outside the wall with Bai Yutang, until the mansion screamed , and walked in grandly side by side.

The two quickly took control of the situation, Zhan Zhao showed the imperial gold medal, ordered the news to be blocked, closed the gate of the government office, and prohibited people from entering and leaving at will. Sitting like this for a few days, a group of people sent by the appeasement envoy soon arrived.

Zhan Zhao made a good handover with those people in the government office, explained the cause and effect clearly, and then quietly retreated with Bai Yutang—they still wanted to stay and continue to investigate the incident of the Emperor Youming—to appease the entire group without making a show of it. The corpse of Zhizhou went back to report. As a result, most of the people thought that the imperial envoy had left with the team. On the day when the convoy left, many old people knelt on the ground and called out to the sky, weeping uncontrollably.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were mixed in the crowd, seeing this scene was full of emotions - the people are simple, the master of Zhizhou is actually far away from them, many local officials have been appointed, and the county magistrate is more familiar to the people than the governor of a state .And as long as the people under his jurisdiction still have a mouthful of food left, they will never risk their lives to resist the government. This Yunyang magistrate was an official, and he managed the good Yunyang City so that the people were in dire straits. The sky was angry and the people complained. It is resentful.

"Mao'er, now the people say that we have left, and all the senior officials of Zhizhou Prefecture have been taken away. You have never revealed your identity outside, and now, no one knows that you, the imperial envoy, are still in Yunyang. "

"Yeah, the matter of Yunyang finally has an explanation... But our real mission has not officially started yet! Yutang, the clues in the prefect of Yunyang have been broken, which caught us off guard. If we want to investigate clearly in the future, it will be impossible. , can only turn dark—you and I are well-known among the people in Jianghu, it’s time to change our identity.” Zhan Zhao sighed a little, he didn’t expect the people behind the scenes to be so decisive and vicious, and the people under him had just retreated. Miaotou killed himself - but, the car must have a way to the front of the mountain, so he didn't believe it, the two of them had already arrived in Jingxiang, without a prefect of Yunyang, they still couldn't find Xiangyang!

Unexpectedly, the two of them hadn't thought of how to start with the Nether Emperor for a while, but that group of people found something by themselves.

Once Zhizhou left, the temporarily acting officials still didn't know much about Yunyang's affairs. These days, the Emperor Youming and his party became more and more rampant in Yunyang. From time to time, you can see long guards of honor passing by in a clear sky and daylight, scattered all over the place yellow paper.Although Zhizhou Yamen has sent people to surround them many times, but the effect is very little. Those people are all strong in martial arts, and they come and go without a trace. How can a few ordinary Yamen servants chase after them?Fortunately, they didn't seem to have any intention of hurting anyone, and the officials of Yunyang Mansion did not suffer heavy losses.

They didn't simply show off in the street, they also loudly spread the words that the current emperor is exhausted, and You Ming is the right man.In addition, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw the local residents avoiding them and approached them, only to learn that these people had searched the city several times under the banner of selecting servants for the Emperor Youming. Some good-looking men and women , all disappeared without a trace.

"You two sons, I advise you to leave as soon as possible. The Nether Emperor is elected once a month, and it will be time in these few days. All the families in the city who have a little way have fled to other places with their children. Avoid, otherwise, if you are selected, you will live or die, and you will never see you again!" The old man who was questioned seemed to recall some unbearable past, sobbing and crying, his old palms wiped his wrinkled eye sockets, repeatedly Shake your head and sigh.

"Thank you, old man... the old man, but have any relatives been taken away by them?" Zhan Zhao stepped forward, patted the old man's shoulder and back to comfort him, and asked softly.

This question made the old man even more sad: "My Wu'er, my Wu'er...that is my only grandson...God..."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, took out a few pieces of silver and handed them to the old man: "Don't worry, old man, maybe your grandson will come back someday? We both happen to be away, so we will pay attention to it." You inquired—I wonder what your grandson's name is?"

"Thank you, thank you son..." The old man thanked tremblingly, wiping away his tears indiscriminately, "I don't ask him to come back to see me, as long as he is still alive... Even if he is dead, the little old man can still rest in peace." Ah! Two young masters, the grandson of the little old man is surnamed Zhang, and his name is Zhang Wu... He has been weak and sick since he was a child, and his parents also left early. The little old man thought, if he screams stronger, he may recover healthily, who knows ……who knows……"

Both of them felt a little sad. The Emperor Youming had a big plan. Uncle Zhang's tragedy was just a microcosm of the countless wives and children he would cause. Now if he wants to stop him, he can only find the alliance letter and list as soon as possible, so that the emperor can formally convict him.

After bidding farewell to old man Zhang, the two returned to the inn and sat down, relatively silent for a while.

Bai Yutang said bitterly: "This Nether Emperor is really hateful, one day, Grandpa Bai will cut off his head with his own hands!"

At night, the two of them lay side by side on the bed, and there was silence outside the window, and the shadows of the whirling trees swayed on the panes, making the night even quieter.

Quietly, a small piece of lit incense pierced through the window paper, and wisps of light fragrance gradually spread in the room.Bai Yutang opened his eyes suddenly, and saw that Zhan Zhao beside him had clear eyes and turned his head to look over.

That's right, no one here knows the identities of the two of them. On the surface, they are not high-spirited Jianghu people. Even if they wear swords, they look more like ornaments worn by nobles from aristocratic families when they are bored. It's not surprising that Mixiang's calculations... Come to think of it, this is the truth about the disappearance of young men and women in Yunyang City.

After a while, the piece of miscary incense retreated back the same way, and there was silence outside the window for a while, then there was a small rustling sound, and the window sash was slowly pushed open.

The two of them hurriedly closed their eyes, adjusted their breath and pretended to be in a coma—they were both highly skilled and daring, and they just took this opportunity to go to the lair of the Nether Emperor to find out—this is the way to "break through the iron". There is nowhere to find shoes, and it takes no effort to get them."

Several men in black jumped in from the wide-open window, and quickly came to the bed, one of them said: "Tsk tsk, you are indeed handsome and handsome, like pearls and jade... Could it be that you have Longyang, why? Sleeping in the same bed this late at night?"

"If that's the case, isn't the lord..."

"Okay, don't talk too much, maybe the master still likes this tune..." Several people laughed happily, not paying attention to these two seemingly powerless prey, and their words became more and more serious. It became more and more presumptuous and vulgar, one of them even touched Bai Yutang's face and rubbed his fingertips lewdly.

Bai Yutang was trembling with anger, only felt a cold hand slowly touch him under the quilt, holding him tightly, he suddenly calmed down, adjusted his breath, and continued to pretend to be unconscious.

Fortunately, those few people were on task and didn't dare to delay too much. Two of them picked up Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang on their shoulders, and jumped out of the open window one by one like a Tathagata.

As for the next day, Xiao Er came up to tidy up the room, seeing how the normal interior layout and the two guests who disappeared for no reason spread the news that "Emperor Nether captured two foreigners this time" to the streets and alleys. , is not our concern.

Estimated that it was time for the drug to take effect, Zhan Zhao opened his eyes just in time, and Bai Yutang also moved and sat up beside him.

The two of them were in a gorgeous carriage, their hands and feet were tightly bound by cowhide ropes - of course, if they used their internal strength, they could still be broken - the carriage was so comfortably arranged that it was almost impossible to feel walking Vibration on the road.

Just as he had time to exchange glances, the car curtain was lifted by a middle-aged man who seemed to be amiable and prosperous. His fat face was full of smiles that could make people relax their vigilance.

"Are you two awake? I'm really sorry, the two young masters are like Yushu Zhilan, with a noble temperament. My master is happy to see Lie Xin, and wants to invite the two to stay at the house for a few days - I'm really worried that the two will decline, That’s why I’m really ashamed and ashamed to use such means.”

"I don't know what kind of master you are. Do you know that this is against the law!" Bai Yutang played the image of a harsh and irritable noble son vividly, with his own arrogance on his face, mixed with A little unworldly panic, the white tunic that was still on his body was wrinkled in the struggle, showing a bit of the embarrassment of a troubled nobleman.

Zhan Zhao also cooperated and said, "You guys are so courageous! Do you know who the two of us are?"

The man smiled: "Oh, you two, I'm really sorry, but..." His kind eyes suddenly flashed a fierce light, "I persuade you two, you'd better be honest, otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer some flesh and blood!" After saying that, he flung the curtain and exited, and in a blink of an eye, the previous silence returned to the carriage.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

"I didn't expect Yutang, your acting skills are pretty good."

"To each other, to each other, I didn't expect you, a stinky cat, to be an upright gentleman on weekdays, and you are not ambiguous in deceiving people!"

"It's broken!" Just as he was smiling, Zhan Zhao's face suddenly changed, "I left in too much haste, Juque and Huaying are still in the inn!"
