[Rat and Cat] Han Palace Autumn

No matter how the hapless steward racked his brains to come up with a speech, Zhan Zhao hugged the young man in his arms, and soon he and Bai Yutang returned to their original place, and it happened that the servant who tidied up the new residence also came back, and the two of them went to bed. He simply moved to the new yard with the "trophy".

The two walked up to a high ground with the maid, and it was Xiuyage where they would live temporarily in the next few days.

I saw that the entrance is a zigzag corridor, and the stones under the steps form a long road.There are only two or three elegant houses above, alternated with light and dark.There is another small door from the inner room, which leads to the backyard. There is a pool of hot springs in the corner, with pearly white steam swaying and swaying, and there is also a clear spring.Surrounded by bamboo trees, it is elegant and quiet.

The maid who waved back and led the way couldn't help sighing at the palace's meticulous thoughtfulness, this arrangement was very satisfactory - the prince had only been with the two of them for a while, and he had already grasped their preferences thoroughly.

At this time, the courtyard has calmed down, and there is no one left to serve. Does this show your trust in them?Haha, I think they are too naive.

Before he could think about it, the weak penis and scorching body temperature of the boy in his arms drew Zhan Zhao's attention back, and he hurriedly pushed the door open and entered the room, carefully placing him on the couch.

Bai Yutang also followed in, and the two carefully took off the boy's remaining clothes, and loudly ordered the servants waiting outside the courtyard to bring a bucket of warm water, wound medicine, gauze and other things.

The two cleaned their hands, soaked the gauze in the copper basin, and wiped the young man's body carefully.The criss-cross bruises and scars on the young man's body made them all look unbearable, and the anger in their hearts became more intense.

"This King of Xiangyang is simply inferior to a beast!" Bai Yutang threw off the blood-stained white gauze and said angrily, "Such a small child, he has such a heavy hand!"

Zhan Zhao was also annoyed, his movements became more gentle and gentle, and he slowly applied the ointment to the child.I don't know where it was touched, the boy suddenly frowned and uttered a painful groan, and he hastily slowed down his movements a bit.

Most of the wounds were caused by punching and kicking, and occasionally there were a few traces of horsewhip whipping. They looked hideous, but fortunately they had to be recuperated properly, and their lives would not be seriously affected. The two of them took the medicine and wrapped them in gauze , fetched a clean and soft middle coat for him to change into, and then covered him with a light satin quilt, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man has been treated roughly for a long time, the injury has never healed well, his body is already quite damaged, and with the addition of typhoid fever, he developed a high fever.Zhan Zhao pondered for a while, wrote a prescription, and handed it to his servants to make some soup.The man responded again and again, and retreated respectfully.

"This old man from Xiangyang is acting like a respectable corporal. Hmph, only a fool would believe him with his face."

"He didn't want us to believe it either, but it was all about putting on a good show together, taking advantage of each other, and getting what we needed."

Both of them were a little silent. No matter how they understood the atrocities in Xiangyang before, they were only heard by word of mouth, not as good as witnessed.To say that although they all come from aristocratic families, they have seen a lot in the rivers and lakes these years, and they have seen a lot of poor people who have suffered miserably. It's just that the royal family of Xiangyang is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. Although they know his wolf ambitions, But he also treats him as a serious hero. Now it seems that he is more than cruel and not big enough. It is the same with an immature boy. Can he be expected to care about the people and pay attention to people's livelihood?Not to mention governing the country with benevolence like the current sage.

After the medicine was ready, Bai Yutang carefully lifted the boy up, placed it on his chest, and carefully fed the medicine down spoon by spoon—he wouldn't admit that he snatched the job because of jealousy—— The soup soon bottomed out, and the young man frowned as if he couldn't bear the bitter taste. After a while, he opened his eyes with a little struggle.

The return of "cough cough" consciousness made him cough unavoidably, his eyes were dazed for a while, and then slowly focused, a pair of magnified peach blossom eyes appeared in front of him.

"Yo, you're awake." Bai Yutang fed the last spoonful of medicine, and saw the young man staring at him intently.Carelessly put down the medicine bowl on the table, and greeted, "Cat, come and show him again."

Zhan Zhao stepped forward, putting his finger on the young man's wrist - he was weak since he was a child, and he got better after learning martial arts, but his body still suffered from some minor problems from time to time. As the saying goes, a long illness makes a good doctor, so he learned from his master Although these medical skills are not considered national experts, they are also rare good doctors.

"There's nothing serious about it, but after all, you've suffered before, and you still need to recuperate." He gently touched the young man's face, "The fever has subsided a bit, do you still feel uncomfortable?"

"Who are you? Where is this place?" The young man was in a daze for a while, his eyes flashed with vigilance and stubbornness, and he shrank unconsciously into Bai Yutang's arms—the broad and warm chest he felt when he just woke up , is a safe place that he has not experienced for a long time, like a baby bird will regard the first person it sees as a relative. At this time, subconsciously, he has already become dependent on the owner of those arrogant peach eyes.

"Don't be afraid, we are not bad people." Zhan Zhao hastily comforted him softly, "We were wandering in the courtyard today, and saw how contemptuous those servants were to you, so we took it upon ourselves to bring you back. Don't worry, there will be no one else forced you to do something."

The boy hesitated for a while, then lowered his head and said, "Thank you both, but that person won't let me go, you guys should send me back, don't drag you down."

"What are you talking about? You are so young, you think too much." Bai Yutang glared, let him sit on the bed gently, "I just think you are pleasing to the eye, ask him If you want someone, can he still give it?"

The young man was a little confused. In his simple world, the big man who brought him here from his peaceful hometown and killed him was unimaginably powerful. He never dared to expect to escape from that terrible house one day, so All he could do was to desperately resist his majesty, show off his quick tongue, and silently endure the ensuing abuse and beating.

But at this moment, the casual tone of the young man in white mentioned "that person" undoubtedly overturned his senses. He watched obsessively, a little fascinated by the dazzling self-confidence and arrogance, but more interested in future worries.

He turned his head to look at another man in blue. This man had a completely different temperament and gentleness. The fingers on his wrist just now were different from the scorching heat of the man in white, but warm and cool, like jade. It is as delicate as ironing, and you can also smell the refreshing and leisurely tea fragrance that comes from it - it reminds him of his long-lost hometown, the lotus pond where dew is condensed at night.

——Where did such two excellent people come from, and why did they come to rescue each other?

Zhan Zhao saw his confusion, and Wen Yan explained: "My name is Zhao Zhan, this is my good friend Tang Yu, and we are now the servants of the Prince of Xiangyang's mansion. Oh, the King of Xiangyang is the one who brought you here " Seeing the young man's vigilant eyes regained in an instant, he continued helplessly, "Don't think too much, we just came here, and our identities were no different from yours before."

The young man was visibly taken aback for a moment, and then felt a little relieved. He laughed at himself and said, "That's right, you are so good, he won't know it." Then he said seriously, "Thank you both for your kindness."

He didn't respond to the real identity of King Xiangyang. To him, that person was strong enough, even if he was the emperor, he wouldn't be surprised at all.

"It doesn't have to be like this," Zhan Zhao smiled, "Your situation is so miserable, no normal person would turn a blind eye to it."

The young man obviously didn't agree with what he said, his smile was a bit sarcastic, but he bowed his head politely and remained silent.

Both of them felt a little helpless. This young man had suffered a lot, and it was not easy to open his defenses.

Bai Yutang simply said directly: "After we have told the prince, we will arrange for you to go out of the city. You can go back to your hometown. Fortunately, you don't even know his identity, and you probably won't know any serious secrets. When you sell favors to us, you should not refuse." He suddenly remembered, "By the way, after talking so much, we still don't know your name."

The young man seemed to be a little stunned by the sudden surprise, his lips trembled to thank him, but he couldn't say a word.After finally calming down, his eyes were red and he said: "I, I am from Yunyang, my surname is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Wu."

The two of Zhanbai looked at each other, they were a little stunned, they really didn't expect such a coincidence to happen in the world.

"You, uh, did your parents die early and you only depend on your grandfather?" After thinking for a while, Bai Yutang asked again.

"You, how do you know!" Zhang Wu's eyes widened, and then his whole body lit up, "Teng" jumped up from the bed, "Have you seen my grandpa? Haven't you!"

Zhan Zhao hastened to comfort him so as not to touch the wound he just treated again, and said in a harmonious voice, "Yes, we were also arrested in Yunyang a few days ago, and we met your grandfather before that, and he persuaded you to Let's leave Yunyang City soon. It's a pity." He glanced at Bai Yutang, "Brother Tang and I were young and crazy, and didn't listen to his old man's heart, so that he talked about you to us today. I miss it very much, and feel extremely sad.”

"Grandpa" Zhang Wu sat back down in a daze, "The best thing for me in this life is my grandpa."

Zhan Zhao sighed, not knowing how to comfort him, he could only gently stroke the top of his hair and said, "Okay, after a while, you will be able to reunite with him, presumably the old man will be very happy when he sees you." surprise."

"Yeah." There was a smile in the corner of Zhang Wu's eyes, and it was rare to show a little boyishness at this age. He was a little greedy for the long-lost warmth on his hair, and looking at Bai Yutang on the side, he just felt that he had been in love for a while. All the pain I suffered was the existence of the darkness before dawn. Now, wouldn't this warm and clear sunshine follow?
