[Rat and Cat] Han Palace Autumn

Move the boat to the Yanzhu, and the guests worry about the new at sunset.In the open sky and low trees, Jiang Qingyue is close to people

It was almost dusk, Xiangyang City, Wangfu.

"Oh?" King Xiangyang turned around with great interest after hearing the servant's report, "It seems that the experience of this period of time has crushed them so hard that they went to Yuemingxuan to make a big fuss. It was so funny... did you hear what they were saying in there?"

"I tell the lord, after the shopkeeper went in, the subordinates only heard Mr. Tang complaining loudly about the lack of quality of the dishes. The shopkeeper couldn't argue with it. Later, Mr. Zhao seemed to persuade him, so Mr. Tang's voice was quieter, but he just kept serving the dishes. The shopkeeper was speechless, and finally slammed the door out, and ordered the waiter to give them another table for free."

"Hahahaha, this Tang Yu, really..." He shook his head, waved his hand indifferently, "Go down, continue to follow the two of them, remember, always pay back—call Pentakill in."

The man in black clasped his fists respectfully and retreated. Immediately afterwards, another man in black dressed in exactly the same came in through the open door.

"Five kills, these few days, you should go to Jinhua immediately and check on two young people named Zhao Zhan and Tang Yu. They are about the youngest, with a good background, beautiful description, and full of talent... Well, just follow Check this direction, and if it is true, then report it back to me immediately."

The man in black nodded silently, and went down like a black shadow. In the blink of an eye, King Xiangyang was the only one left in the gorgeous room. Ruyi dripped blood, suddenly smiled in a good mood, and a strong sense of salivation appeared on his gloomy face.

In the corner outside the house, a piece of blue clothes flashed by. Tang Lan, who was hiding in the shadow, showed a strange expression on his cold face. He turned his head to listen for a while, clenched his fists, and turned away as if making up his mind. , the tail of the elegant green robe dangled, disappearing in the deepening night.

————————————————————

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang lived happily in the palace, living a comfortable life of eating, sleeping and eating every day. The two of them knew in their hearts that the King of Xiangyang would not allow them to accept any real things until their identities were thoroughly verified. It's the core thing, so I'm not in a hurry, I'm happy to go to the garden every day to enjoy the scenery, and I even ask people for a piano and flute, and have a good time with each other in my spare time.

After more than half a month, Zhang Wu's injuries have gradually healed under the careful care of the two of them. After all, he is a young man with a good physical foundation, but now he has regained the leaping, flying, big eyes that a teenager should have. He often smiles like a crescent moon, calling them "Brother Zhao" and "Brother Tang" affectionately.

In addition, Zhan Zhao also taught him some simple rhetoric and music theory - after all, they met each other by fate, and he found this child very pleasing to the eye, so he taught him everything, but within a few days, Zhang Wu's behavior was quite different from before. Every movement of his hands and every movement of his feet actually brought out some Zhan Zhao's unique elegance.

Bai Yutang was amazed when he saw it, he praised Zhang Wu when he caught Zhang Wu, and teased Zhan Zhao for being such a good teacher, he could open a private school instead of being a guard in the future.

Every time at this time, Zhang Wu, who was originally acting naturally, would inexplicably stiffen his hands and feet, his delicate face flushed slightly, and every time he took a peek, he could always see Bai Yutang's smile with peach blossom eyes that seemed to be in full bloom, and felt even more The ups and downs in my heart are hard to express for a while.

Zhan Zhao's dull personality naturally didn't notice this kind of thing, but Bai Yutang was different.Thinking about Wu Ye's flair in the world, when the spring clothes were light and thin back then, when was he not a flirtatious young man who "riding a horse leaning on a leaning bridge, full of red sleeves and tricks".After walking around the rivers and lakes for several years, when did he rarely see all kinds of reserved or fiery expressions of Mu Ai? When encountering this kind of thing, he also had a headache, seeing his cat recognize someone as his younger brother The tendency of her eyes is getting more and more pampered, and her hair is almost graying.

Fortunately, Zhang Wu himself is also ignorant, he worships Bai Yutang out of a desire, and if this desire is allowed to slowly ferment, it is difficult to guarantee that one day it will not become true love—fortunately In his heart, the atmosphere between Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, who are close like a real big brother, does not allow third parties to intervene, and subconsciously affects his thoughts, making him unconsciously feel that these two people are inseparable , so this Mu Ai is just Mu Ai, deeply hidden in the bottom of my heart, if there is no earth-shattering change, I am afraid that it will be hidden like this and will never germinate.

July and August in Xiangyang are steaming hot, which is the hottest period of the year. Even though there are ice cubes in the house to cool off the heat, the heat still rushes in from various gaps.Everyone put on light summer clothes, regardless of the luxuriant flowers and branches in the garden, which was as thick as haze, they just closed the doors and windows, trying their best to keep a little cool air in the house.

In the early morning, the yard is still a bit cool. The green willows around the Lianhe Pavilion above the blue waves of Xiuyage Pavilion and the slight water vapor are really a wonderful place to spend summer with a remote mood.In the center of the pavilion, there were several stone benches surrounding the stone table, and the surrounding space was not small. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang each practiced their skills and walked around as a substitute for daily homework, while Zhang Wu seriously copied the "Huang Ting Jing" that Bai Yutang had copied for him.

The two suddenly looked at each other clearly—the surveillance that followed them these days was finally withdrawn, and it was replaced by another familiar aura that was slowly approaching.

Sure enough, after a while, I heard King Xiangyang pretending to be hearty and laughing: "How are the two gentlemen resting recently? Seeing that there is a shortage of talents in this mansion, I finally have to trouble the two gentlemen!"

The two hurriedly stood up and saluted. At the same time, Zhang Wu also reluctantly bowed his hands to the King of Xiangyang. Bai Yutang signaled him to go down to practice by himself with the pen, ink, paper and inkstone spread out in the pavilion, and then casually pointed at the stone bench in the center. Pointing: "The prince is here, please sit down."

Yan Xiahun regarded this place as his own mansion, making it seem like the king of Xiangyang was the guest.

Zhao Jue didn't bother with him either - in his opinion, unlike the gentle and elegant Zhao Zhan, the most charming thing about Tang Yu was his chic and unrestrained demeanor of Wei and Jin celebrities, and his whole body was burning like a raging fire.On the other side, Zhao Zhan was as quiet as a spring breeze, which perfectly made up for his too strong aura. Standing together, the two of them had nothing but pleasing to the eye.

But Zhao Jue's more attention at this time was attracted by Zhang Wu who retreated, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes - he still had a vague impression of this child, so he only thought that he was like a little wolf cub opening his teeth and dancing his claws. It's interesting, but I don't want to stay here in Xiuyage for a while, and even cultivate some heart-wrenching demeanor all over my body.

Different from the perfection of Zhan Bai and the others, that little bit of character combined with a little bit of youthfulness that was still insufficient, unexpectedly blended a different kind of style.He couldn't help teasing and said: "The two gentlemen are really extraordinary, this mortal body has stayed with you two for a long time, and it can actually have a little fairy air."

Bai Yutang ignored him, but Zhan Zhao was secretly vigilant, and said respectfully: "My lord is joking, but he is just a country boy. The two of you are idle and bored, so I taught him a little bit of writing—just treat the things on him. After the injury is recovered, it will be sent back to reunite with the family."

"Why, are you afraid that this king will steal it by force? Hahaha," Zhao Jue shook his head. The beauties he had seen were countless. Very different.Now that he agreed to leave it to the two of them to deal with, he naturally wouldn't break his promise easily... It's just that the strength of these two people can be seen from this trivial matter.He raised his hand and continued, "You two don't need to be restrained, sit down, this king is just surprised in his heart, he has nothing else to think about, Mr. Zhao, please rest assured."

Zhan Zhao smiled shyly at him when he heard the words, sat down with Bai Yutang, and said in a warm voice: "I'm Chao Yue, I don't know if the prince is here, what's your order?"

"I can't talk about orders," Zhao Jue waved his hand, "I just need some help from the two gentlemen—"

Both of them looked serious, and Bai Yutang finally showed some seriousness, rubbed his fingers on the bone of the white jade fan, and said, "I would like to hear more about it."

"It's like this. There is a group of bandits on the Qingming Mountain outside the city. They often go down the mountain to plunder the villa and harass the people. This king is not talented, and I really don't want to see the local people suffer from it... But those bandits also fell into the grass because of the imperial court's last resort. The people who are bandits, I don’t want to go to war—it’s better to recruit them, it’s the best of both worlds, but this fact is not easy to operate, I wonder if the two gentlemen have any good strategies?”

Bai Yutang sneered: "Oh, the lord really has a big heart, and it's really a blessing for the people of Xiangyang..."

The king of Xiangyang heard the sarcasm in his words, and couldn't help changing his face slightly. Before he could say anything, he heard him continue: "Okay, my lord, we all know what you are doing, I came with Brother Zhao On the first day, we have been honest with each other, so why bother to beat around the bush now - if you open the skylight and say the truth, brother Zhao and I will sincerely serve you, if the prince keeps everything secret, it would be a little underestimated."

Zhao Jue smiled wryly: "Mr. Tang is really a straightforward person. Since that's the case, I'll just say it straight. This gang of rogues is extremely powerful, but they are uneasy about their actions. You also know that since the beginning of the dynasty, the army has been scattered and private affairs are strictly prohibited. Soldiers, this king really does not have strong combat power, so how can he fight against hundreds of thousands of emperors' army? It is really helpless to have to take this bad strategy repeatedly."

The two of them understood that the troops of Song Dynasty were indeed scattered, and it was no wonder that Zhao Jue, a dignified prince, wanted to communicate with Xixia and Daliao in order to rebel, but they didn't expect that he was so poor that he wanted to hit a group of rogues.

Zhan Zhao pondered for a long time, and said to Zhao Jue, "My lord, please listen to what Zhao said."

"Sir, please speak."

"Although the prince's move seems to be eclectic and seems to be a strange plan, it is really not a long-term solution! The bandits are scattered, and most of them are unruly and difficult to tame. Even if they are successfully incorporated into the army, I am afraid it will cause turmoil in the army. Qi...they were born recklessly and had no sense of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness. Today they can serve the prince in order to have enough to eat. In the future, there is no guarantee that they will be more powerfully bewitched and turn to other places, and even endanger the prince's army. peace."

Of course, he would not mention the loyalty among reckless heroes that is sometimes much more important than some scholars, and the strong combat power of well-trained cottages that surpass officers and soldiers-since the King of Xiangyang asked about them, this cut him down a lot Even if there is an opportunity to help, they will be disrespectful.
