[Rat and Cat] Han Palace Autumn

The two talked to each other, sang and sang, their tongues were shining, and they finally left Zhao Jue's thoughts with a heavy heart. At the end, they just asked them to go to the Chu Qingyuan where the counselor was. Wait for them to shine.

"He doesn't have any doubts about us at all, and he doesn't know such an IQ. How does he want to rebel against that cunning emperor?" Seeing Zhao Jue's figure stepping out of the courtyard, with no annoying follower around him, Bai Yutang was refreshed. He breathed a sigh of relief, and complained; "What the hell is Chu Qingyuan, the little emperor even ordered the fifth master not to move, but he is here to help the old man of Xiangyang?"

Zhan Zhao comforted him with a smile: "Anyway, we have nothing to do, so we should go out to relax... Actually, this prince is not so credulous, but the way we appeared cannot be doubted by him, and Brother Bai is so perfect. Only by cooperating can he dispel his suspicions, and on the contrary, he can confide in us—if we voted on our own, I am afraid the effect would be far worse."

Bai Yutang shook his head: "Anyway, the fifth master really doesn't like him... It's a pity that he didn't put us in the army, and only dealt with literary affairs like now. I can’t make any effort.”

"Hey... this is not something we should worry about. The emperor just asked us to look for evidence and alliance documents. Presumably, the imperial court has its own countermeasures in terms of military affairs-although Daliao and Xixia are eyeing them, they dare not take it seriously and blatantly tear us apart. Shameless is just sending some troops to help secretly, if we get the evidence, I am afraid there will be no such hidden soldiers."

"That's right!" Bai Yutang tilted his head and shook his fan, "Forget it, what are you thinking about, that pesky watcher is finally gone, tonight, we can come to 'Night Exploring the Enemy Camp'!"

Zhan Zhao nodded: "I've been following you since the morning when I went to Yuemingxuan. It's been so long, and I really don't feel bored—by the way, if you have time today, let's send Zhang Wu away quickly. I will give Zhang Wu away after I save him." The old man sent a letter, and now that he has recovered, it is time to go back to his hometown, I am afraid that old man Zhang has already waited for it!"

"Yes, yes, it should have been like this a long time ago," Bai Yutang agreed hastily. Seeing the boy's eyes becoming softer day by day, although Zhan Zhao didn't know it, he also felt a strange sense of guilt. The magic star is sent away, presumably after he returns, he will marry a wife and have children, see each other rarely, and the momentary affection of the young man will soon fade away!He clattered his folding fan and said decisively, "I think that old man from Xiangyang is harboring evil intentions. After lunch today, we will personally send him out of the city!"

Just after noon, the next time the outside willows are soft and the grass is verdant, Bai Yutang is leading a tall brown horse, and Zhan Zhao is still a little worried about handing over the burden to Zhang Wu, but he really can't think of what else to tell him, and in the end he will I could only let out a long sigh, and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Tang and I can only send you here, remember, we only take the official road along the way, don't just rush and miss the place, don't be stingy, you must stay here." A regular inn..."

Zhang Wu listened attentively, tears welled up in his eyes, and when Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Bai Yutang with implied expectation.

Bai Yutang coughed dryly, feeling a little embarrassed, but he was more grateful for the upcoming parting. He nodded at Zhang Wu: "Listen to Brother Zhao, and take care of yourself along the way."

Zhang Wu answered obediently, but for some reason, he felt a little lost in his heart. He forced a smile and raised his head: "It is the luckiest thing in my life to know the two elder brothers... If there is a chance in the future, Zhang Wu will definitely come to Xiangyang again." Looking for you, you... will always be the most important people in my life..."

He finally couldn't help crying, smiled a little embarrassedly, raised his hand and wiped his eyes fiercely: "You two elder brothers must also take care, Zhang Wu is going now!" The man clasped his fist for the last time, turned his horse's head and walked slowly along the grass-colored and green avenue.

It wasn't until the figure of one man and one horse shrunk into a small dot and disappeared into the dazzling sunlight that Zhan Zhao looked away and sighed to Bai Yutang: "Oh, it's a coincidence that we met, and in the end, we didn't even tell him our real names. ... This farewell, I'm afraid we won't see each other again."

Bai Yutang was also quite moved, and comforted him: "We are in such a dangerous place, not telling him the truth is also a kind of protection for him—sometimes, knowing nothing is much happier than knowing everything."

Zhan Zhao nodded silently, and the two stood at the fork in the road, staring at the green trees and grass for a while, then went back to the city.

That night, the two people who had finally regained their freedom made human figures out of quilts in the room—it was so easy without an inner master who was watching their aura all the time—then they performed Qinggong in tandem and floated high into the sky. The courtyard wall——A few days ago, they received a letter from Big Brother Bai that Juque and Huaying had arrived in Xiangyang, asking them to pick up another day. Today was finally free, so naturally they went to get back their own sword first. important.

At night, Xiangyang City is quiet and silent, with the gates of every house closed. The huge city is as quiet as a ghost land.

——This is obviously weird, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao are like two wisps of light smoke, passing through the streets and alleys lightly and quickly, the city areas under their feet are generally silent, without a single light.

The two of them were wondering about themselves, when they saw a pair of soldiers with bright armor turning around from the street corner in unison. Roads of cold light reflected under the color.

He hurriedly hid his body, and only poked his head out from the eaves when the group of soldiers passed by.Bai Yutang wondered, "These soldiers don't look like they're on a mission, but if it's just an ordinary night patrol, how can there be such a big battle?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head: "I can't figure it out either. The reason for this may be related to the fact that the people in Xiangyang close their homes and turn off the lights at night... You might as well find an opportunity to talk to the King of Xiangyang directly. Now, let's go to Yueming Xuan, take back your saber."

The two jumped up like spirit birds, and within a short while they arrived at Yuemingxuan, which looked taller and thicker in the darkness.

After delivering the letter early in the afternoon, the two quietly opened the unlocked window and jumped upstairs. The real shopkeeper of Yuemingxuan had already been waiting behind the desk for a long time—the room was as unlit as outside.

"My subordinate Yuemingxuan shopkeeper Li Gui has seen the second master and the Zhan master." Seeing the two of them coming in, the thin shopkeeper quickly got up and saluted, then stepped forward to close the window tightly, turned around and said respectfully: "Two masters But come here to retrieve the sword?"

"That's right." Bai Yutang sat down on the imperial concubine's couch at one side carelessly, raised his eyebrows and said, "So you are the shopkeeper here. How could Uncle Fu be here a few days ago?"

"Back to the second master, butler Bai just happened to end up here because he went out to inspect the accounts every year."

Bai Yutang murmured to himself that this was too coincidental, but it saved him the trouble of proclaiming his integrity at that time, so he didn't go into it, waved his hand to signal Li Gui to take out the sword, and asked, "I see what happened to Xiangyang City at night?" It’s so quiet, there’s no lights in the house?”

Li Gui opened a series of hidden compartments familiarly, and replied: "That is the curfew order issued by the Prince of Xiangyang. After nightfall, the doors are not allowed to open the door and light the lights—unless there is no light shining on the street. The subordinates don't know what to do." Why, it’s just that the officers and soldiers all over the street seem to be protecting something besides watching everyone violate orders.”

"After dark, are there many officers and soldiers patrolling the streets every day?"

"Yes, you stay in one place, and you can see three or four teams of well-armed officers and soldiers patrolling from all directions during the cup of tea-if you say that you can't use such a large formation to keep an eye on the common people. Looking at them vaguely, they seem to be posing some kind of formation, but they are just ignorant, so I really can't tell...Second Lord, forgive me for saying something more," Li Gui hesitated, and then said, "Xiangyang City at night, I'm afraid it's very dangerous. It's more fortified than the imperial palace, even with the effort of you and Lord Zhan, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of the city."

He spoke sincerely, apparently he didn't completely understand what they were planning, Bai Yutang nodded to write it down, but didn't ask any more questions.He and Zhan Zhao pondered for a while, but they really couldn't figure out why King Xiangyang did this, so they had to let it go for now.

Finally, Li Gui groped among the wall hangings behind the desk, and took out two swords, one black and one white, with two small ornaments with different expressions hanging on the hilts.

Zhan Zhao's face suddenly changed, he only remembered this incident now - in this way, Bai Jintang who retrieved the sword for them must have noticed this unusual sword pendant... He couldn't imagine, With Brother Bai's intelligence, how far would he think from this.With a touch of luck, he asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, do you know how to get this sword?"

Li Gui bowed respectfully to him: "Master Hui Zhan, according to the letter he sent at the same time, the master told his subordinates that he must tell you two that he did not go to Yunyang to take this sword himself, but—"

Zhan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief just now, when he heard his but, the breath almost didn't come up, it was choked in his throat and he hesitated.

A rare smile appeared in Li Gui's shrewd eyes: "—but, the sword taker sent the sword back to Jinhua and asked him to look at it before sending it to Xiangyang again at high speed. The uncle also said, cough cough," he explained solemnly. Cleared his throat, "Tell that bastard Bai Yutang, I know all the good things he did, and when his affairs are over, don't bring Xiao Zhao back and give me an explanation in person, Mr. Carefully peeled his mouse skin— —Also, what did Brother Zhanjia say, let him figure out a way for himself!"

The shopkeeper's face was paralyzed, but he imitated Bai Jintang's tone vividly. After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and bowed again: "Don't be surprised, my master, I told you to tell you this paragraph in the original words. ,small……"

"All right, all right," he said, and Bai Yutang's face turned dark, and in the end, he almost caught up with Mr. Bao's daily appearance, and he waved his hands with a dark face when he heard the argument behind him, "I got it... ...cough, cat, you..."

On the other side, Zhan Zhao's face flushed red, and the interrupted tone just now made him cough earth-shatteringly, Bai Yutang hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the back, and coughed dryly: "Cat, don't worry, listen to my elder brother's tone I don't really object to it, er... It's a good thing to always pass his test... Let's talk about the future..."

Coughing, Zhan Zhao glared at him with moist eyes, he had no choice but to accept his fate, grabbed the big door and ran out of the window, disappearing in an instant.

Li Gui looked at his poor second master with sympathy, and when Bai Yutang turned his head, he immediately stood up solemnly, staring straight at his toes.

Bai Yutang sighed deeply for the pig teammate attribute that his elder brother deliberately made, picked up the picture and jumped out - that thin-skinned cat must be thinking about something, Fifth Master has to hurry up and coax it coax……
