[Rat and Cat] Han Palace Autumn

A gleam flashed in his eyes, and King Xiangyang let go of his hand suddenly, grabbed the teacup on the table and drank it down in one gulp.Playing with the small empty cup in his hand, he sat down at the other end of the tea table in a calm manner: "Please advise, sir."

Zhan Zhao suddenly slid against the wall and sat on the ground, fresh air instantly poured into his lungs, choking him to cough again and again, his face flushed, and his jade-like black eyes became clearer due to the overflow of physiological tears.Bai Yutang quickly ran over to support him, and did not forget to give King Xiangyang a hard look.

Zhan Zhao patted the back of Bai Yutang's hand to comfort him, struggled to stand up against the wall, tried to adjust his disordered breathing, and said confidently to Zhao Jue, "Is this Xiangyang?"

Zhao Jue's eyes flickered for a moment, and he nodded slowly: "That's right... Zhao Zhan, this king is becoming more and more interested in you."

"My lord, Mr. Zhao is not talented, and I have read a little bit about the royal etiquette." Looking around the decoration, he continued, "Look at all the things in this room, they are all arranged according to the prince's etiquette. The maid I saw just now The dress is also the style of a servant in the palace... As for the location," he rarely showed a self-confident smile and said with a hint of arrogance, "Although the lord locked us in the car so that the sun could not be seen, I have little understanding of medical skills." Generally speaking, some sensory cycles of the human body will generally not change—according to the horse-speed travel of these days, there is no other powerful, exquisite and luxurious prince near Yunyang except you, the prince. There are two." When he said this, his thin lips curled slightly, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, although there was a little compliment in his words, it made people feel that he was more lonely than Dongli.

King Xiangyang's expression softened a lot: "Is that true? You are a great talent, sir."

Bai Yutang sneered at him disdainfully and said, "That's how rare you are...Hey, Lord Xiangyang, what is your intention in ignoring the law and arresting us privately?!"

Zhao Jue was relieved at this moment, and he felt a little teasing, he twitched the corner of his mouth: "Guess what?"

"Hmph," Bai Yutang didn't fall for his tricks, turned his head to the side, and said bitterly, "You... are you some kind of ignorant child, my master? The Emperor Youming is stirring up wind and rain in Yunyang City, and he selects something inexplicable." The Son of Heaven's close servant', the prefect of Yunyang who is corrupt and perverts the law has been standing still, and you, the prince of Xiangyang, are behind it! I heard that Xiangyang is recruiting troops and buying horses, and I am ready to move, but I didn't expect the rumors to be true!"

"You..." Zhao Jue suddenly clenched his fists. Seeing Bai Yutang shivering slightly but still standing aside with his neck stalked, he smiled lightly and let go slowly, with great interest: "You two and I've spent so much time talking, what do you want to do, you might as well just say it."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, stepped forward with fists in embarrassment, and bowed to the ground: "My lord is clever, we are too impatient to wait, so this is the time to fight with an axe. I hope your lord will not be offended."

"Hehe, Mr. Zhao is too polite, I don't know, why are you so anxious?"

"My lord..." Zhan Zhao's face was reddish, he seemed a little embarrassed, his eyes wandered for a while, and then he seemed to make up his mind, he gritted his teeth and continued, "Boss Jin gave us a lot of advice along the way, we... I know a thing or two about the intention of the lord's invitation. I... we also know that we have reached this point, the lord... will never let us go, but... cough, lord, today we are acting like this. I just want to ask the lord to forgive me, I and brother Tang are willing... to contribute with my own body, I believe that even some insignificant talents can barely share the worries of the lord."

He stumbled as he spoke, obviously extremely ashamed, but it became smoother at the back, his fingers in his sleeves tightly grasped the robe, and after he finished speaking in one breath, he stared at Zhao Jue eagerly, with a faint light in his midnight-like eyes. The color of pleading.On the other hand, Bai Yutang's face was also flushed, and he stared fiercely at Zhao Jue who was sitting upright, as if he didn't agree, so he came up to fight him desperately.

Zhao Jue understood, of course he could see that no matter what their appearance was, these two people were scholars who had received an extremely orthodox education, and their own talents were not shallow, coupled with the faint nobility and elegance in every move, it was not difficult. Guess it must be from a noble family, at least from a scholarly family.He scrutinized the two of them carefully, and they were indeed outstanding, which made him feel a little itchy, but obviously, such a person was accepted as an aide - while getting talents, they can also make them feel grateful and sincerely contribute, so there is no way to say in the future You can also get the help of his family - it is much more useful than simply being two gadgets, not to mention that the scholar has a noble temperament, if one is not good, there may be some troubles with his life, when the time comes, he will be a human being The loss outweighs the gain if the money is empty.

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate anymore, and stood up with a straight expression: "Before this king treated the two gentlemen with disrespect, how offended, the two gentlemen have both talents and virtues, they are really dragons and phoenixes among people. It's... that's what I wish for, hahahaha."

Both of them showed a sigh of relief, and there was a little more sincerity in their smiles. They thanked the King of Xiangyang again and again. .

Zhao Jue said again: "Since it's so decided, the two gentlemen can't live here anymore. I really didn't entertain you well before, so I'm ashamed." He said in a loud voice, "Clean up a place for the two gentlemen. Come to the good courtyard, don’t let people think that our Xiangyang Palace doesn’t understand etiquette!” Turning his head, “You two wait a moment, wait for the servants to clean up the courtyard, someone will move in after you, tonight, this king will Opening a banquet will be regarded as a clean-up for the two of you, you two, you must appreciate it!"

The two agreed again and again, Hao Sheng sent him out and closed the door, and they were truly relieved.

"This King of Xiangyang really lives up to his reputation, and his imposing manner is hard to bear." Zhan Zhao smiled wryly, and unconsciously rubbed his sore shoulders and neck lightly, when he saw Bai Yutang glaring at him angrily, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, "What's the matter, Yutang?"

"You still dare to ask!" Bai Yutang stepped forward angrily, looking at the glaring bruises on his slender fair neck, he was angry and distressed at the same time, wishing to drag that nasty King of Xiangyang back and smash him into pieces, " He actually used such a ruthless hand...and you! You are so stupid, why don't you take off your strength a little bit!" As he spoke, he took out a box of wound medicine from nowhere and smeared it on him carefully, with a fierce mouth and fingers. The movements are extremely gentle.

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then let him act helplessly: "How can it be so easy to convince him that we don't have the identity of martial arts... Even now, we are still far away from cheating, according to his cautious temperament , will definitely send someone to investigate our identities, before that, there will never be less surveillance in the dark."

"Hey, if he wants to check, let him check it out. There won't be any results in a while. Let's find a chance to contact the eldest brother and let him fill in the identity for us."

"What you said is, but for this matter, the sooner the better, this Xiangyang Mansion is dangerous, the sooner we can gain his trust, the sooner we can get things done."

"Okay, okay, let's try to get out tomorrow. With our current status, he can't lock us up in the mansion like before——Okay, my sister-in-law's exclusive wound medicine, you will be back to normal tomorrow!"

After receiving the medicine, the two of them decided to go out for a walk to familiarize themselves with the environment, which was to explore the way for future actions.

The yard they were in was very large, and there were many houses of different shapes scattered around. The one they were in before was one of them.The doors of the other houses were closed, so we couldn't see what was going on inside.Zhan Zhao frowned: "Among them, I'm afraid they are all innocent young men and women captured by him."

Bai Yutang was also a little heavy, but both of them could feel the tail that had been secretly falling behind since they left the house, so they didn't dare to talk too casually, they could only comfort themselves in their hearts, and when the time came, they would find the alliance book and pull it together. Down with King Xiangyang, these poor people will naturally regain their freedom.

At this moment, faint sounds of beating and scolding came from a distance, accompanied by the faint smell of soup, the expressions of the two of them changed, and they walked straight towards the direction of the sound.

After a while, he arrived at a remote hut, the sound of beating and scolding had stopped, but the smell of medicine was even stronger. Zhan Zhao carefully lifted his robe and stepped into the room, and saw a handsome young man bound half-length on the bed, as if Already in a coma, her chest was bruised and purple, full of traces of being abused.A few robust servants were cursing and force-feeding him the decoction. The comatose boy couldn't swallow smoothly, and coughed repeatedly from the medicine, but his brows were furrowed, and he never woke up.

Zhan Zhao felt a rush of blood welling up in his throat, the one being treated cruelly in front of him was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child!There are so many filth and filth hidden in this palace, in corners that they don't know about, how many such things are there!

"Stop!" couldn't help shouting loudly, Zhan Zhao rushed up a few steps, removed the leather rope that had strangled the wounds all over the boy, let him sit on his chest, and adjusted it so that it would not seriously press the wound. pose.

Bai Yutang, who followed in, also had a livid face, and he was anxiously questioning the manager-looking man who had just been watching indifferently.The steward just saw the two of them intruding in for no reason and was about to get angry when the little handyman who was following him approached him and whispered something in his ear, then he hastily put on a flattering smile and waved his hands to tell the helpless servants to leave. .

"It turned out to be the two gentlemen. Why did they come to this remote place? How did the servants in the front yard serve? See if I turn around and don't reward him..."

Bai Yutang interrupted his nonsense impatiently, and asked directly: "What's going on, who is this kid?" Seeing that the steward rolled his eyes and was about to speak, he shouted sharply, "Master Listen to the truth, if there is half a lie, you can handle it yourself!"

The steward was startled by him for a moment, and immediately forgot the perfunctory remarks he had just prepared, and could only say with a bitter face: "My lord, this is the servant I brought back from Yunyang last time, but I don't know how to give birth to a donkey." He has a normal temper, scolds and quarrels all day long, and has been taught many times before moving to this place, you see, it is not an easy job to treat his wounds and give him medicine."

"Okay, you have backbone, I like it!" Without losing his voice, Bai Yutang clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Who the hell, tell your master, this kid is my master, so I will take him to another courtyard with Brother Zhao That's it—you can't subdue him anyway, so why not take him with you!" He motioned for Zhan Zhao to follow, and swaggered away with the comatose boy in his arms.

The steward looked at them saying that the wind is the rain, and he was speechless—I heard that these two gentlemen were recently bewitched by the prince, and they were very tight. He, a small steward, definitely did not dare to resist, but the young man said that he was also the prince. If you ask me about it, how can he explain it?
