Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang listened to the people chatting in the lobby downstairs from behind the pillars, it seemed that Xiangyang City was very curious about the guests from the Xiangyang Prince's Mansion, but the skyrocketing tower really made them speculate.

It's not that simple to build a building in your own place, not to mention it's not small, and it might spread to Beijing.

Zhan Zhao asked in a low voice: "Who do you think the person in the Xiangyang Prince's Mansion is? It's one of the people who participated in the construction of the Skyscraper Tower. Don't you think it's too strange? But what is the Skyscraper Tower for? what are you doing."

"Want to know? Why don't you go and find out, we're guessing here, and we can't know, and it's impossible to get any shocking secret out of these people." Bai Yutang stood up straight, pretending to be talking with Zhan Zhao, his expression frowning. Calm, the people passing by didn't pay much attention to them.

Hearing this, Zhanzhao frowned, feeling that Bai Yutang's proposal was inappropriate, "I'm afraid it won't work. If we go now, if we are found out, we will startle the snake. Brother Gongsun told us not to startle the snake, otherwise it will be bad if we attract the attention of the King of Xiangyang."

"This city is probably full of the other party's eyeliner. There is no question of disturbing or not. At night, we sneaked into the palace to investigate. We didn't take anything, just to see what the skyscraper is doing. Don't you want to know? Or do you have to wait for Big Brother Gongsun and the others to come, and when the time comes, you won’t know anything, and you will bump into King Xiangyang head-on in a daze. You have to know that King Xiangyang may not give up on Big Brother Gongsun, thinking of killing him .”

Bai Yutang's words are not unreasonable, they arrived in Xiangyang ahead of time, and now they don't do anything, just go to find Bao Zheng, it's better to find out what's going on in this skyscraper at night, maybe a blind cat will bump into a dead mouse , really let them explore a thing or two.

Seeing that Zhan Zhao's expression was loose, Bai Yutang no longer objected so strongly, and took the opportunity to say, "Go in and have a look, there won't be anything wrong, you and I are not bad at work, even if we are discovered, at most we will treat them as ordinary thieves, the King of Xiangyang is right We don't know each other well."

"But I still feel wrong."

"Oh, you're such a mother-in-law. If you don't want to go, then I'll go by myself. There's nothing to lose anyway." Bai Yutang shrugged and turned to go downstairs, "It's better if you stay in the inn It's fine if you take care of Big Brother, anyway, I won't accompany you, Young Master."

Zhan Zhao stared at Bai Yutang, thought about it for a while, then gritted his teeth and chased after him, "I'll go with you, but it's still early in the night, we'd better look for Brother Bao in the city now, and if we want to go, we have to be like a Careful planning, can not go wrong."

"Are you really going with me?"

"Really, really." Zhan Zhao was a little anxious, "You are a real person. I told you to go with you, but you still doubted me. If you had known, I would have been with Brother Gongsun and the others."

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, and nuzzled his mouth, "Okay, brother, I'll walk around with you and look for your big brother Bao, but tell me, will your big brother Bao be arrested and locked up by King Xiangyang?" , in the palace now?"

"Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense, Big Brother Bao, Big Brother Bao will be fine!" Zhan Zhao patted Bai Yutang's hand on his shoulder, "I tell you, Big Brother Bao is very smart, so he will be fine!"

Taking a look at his knocked-off hand, Bai Yutang felt that Zhan Zhao was too ignorant, and this was considered a reconciliation, so why did Zhan Zhao still despise him.

Hey, isn't it the royal cat?What a big deal.

"What are you planning to do here? Why are you staring blankly, let's go find Brother Bao."

"Yes, yes, look for Brother Bao."

Bai Yutang agreed perfunctorily, went downstairs and explained a few words to the shopkeeper before leaving the inn with Zhan Zhao.As soon as he got out of the inn, before he was far away, he suddenly heard someone's stomach growling, Bai Yutang blinked, "You—?"

"I haven't eaten all morning, how can a steamed bun fill my stomach? You warn you, you must not say anything, otherwise...you will be killed without mercy!"

"Okay, okay, kill Wushe, come on, there must be something to eat up ahead, and I happen to be hungry too, is this okay?"

"It's almost there."

Zhan Zhao snorted and walked in front, stretched out his hand to touch his hair that was just tied up, looked at Bai Yutang's headband, and wondered when he would have such long hair, but the white headband It's really not good, let's change the color.

Walking to the shop in front, there were steamed buns and sesame cakes, Zhan Zhao didn't pick anything, went up and asked for a basket of steamed buns and two sesame cakes, "Hey, do you want it?"

"of course yes!"

After speaking, he took a steamed stuffed bun from Zhan Zhao's hand, "The taste is not bad."

"The taste is far worse than the biscuits that Brother Gongsun and I had in the town before, but it's been a while since we left. I don't know if there are still people in the town who think about us. You don't know how many girls Brother Gongsun had in the town back then. I want to marry Big Brother Gongsun, but it's strange, I thought Big Brother Gongsun didn't like others because of Sister Feiyan's affairs, but when I came to Beijing, I knew that Sister Feiyan was very happy to marry a young master. Isn't it very sad, does it mean that Brother Gongsun likes someone else?" Zhan Zhao said while eating, "But I heard that Brother Gongsun has a fiancée, but I haven't seen it."

"...cough cough!"

"what happened to you?"

Bai Yutang shook his head, gasped and said, "You really don't know? Your reaction is really slow, but don't worry, Brother Gongsun has someone to take care of him, and he has his own heart, so don't worry about him. But who is his fiancée you mentioned?"

"Lu Xiangxiang from the No. [-] rice shop in the world."

"And this name, it's really strange."

"Hey, that's because your knowledge is short. Let me tell you, Big Brother Gongsun is very handsome. Sister Feiyan also said that he is a little boy. Hey, you just said that someone is taking care of Big Brother Gongsun, and Big Brother Gongsun has someone he likes." , who are you talking about?" Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang strangely, "Why don't I know what you already know, Brother Gongsun is really too embarrassing."

This question made Bai Yutang at a loss for words, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Ask him yourself, and if I tell you, won't it appear that he is too dishonest." After speaking, he took a steamed bun and stuffed it into Zhan Zhao's mouth, blocking his words.

What a headache, how can I chat with someone.

At night, the city of Xiangyang became quiet. A few houses were still lit, and no one was walking on the street. A black shadow flashed from the sky, lying on the roof, carefully observing the surrounding air, making sure that no one was walking around. being followed.

"Be careful, there are so many masters in Xiangyang Palace."

"Chinchmouse, tell me the truth, did you go to the Sky Tower because what you wanted was inside?" Zhan Zhao said in a low voice, "I really fell for your tricks and became a thief with you. It’s really the same as in the monastery before, with a dead nature.”

"If you don't want to follow, go back. I didn't ask you to come, my lord. If you want to follow, just shut up." Bai Yutang was wearing a black scarf, only revealing a pair of spiritual eyes, staring at Zhan Zhao with lacquered eyes. , "Tell you, you still have time to go back now."

Zhan Zhao realized that his words were a bit serious, and turned his head to avoid Bai Yutang's eyes, "If you want to take care of it, I'll just follow."

"Humph."

The two people's lightness skills were not bad, and then the roof went from the inn to the roof of a family next to the Xiangyang Prince's Mansion without any effort, and the Chongxiao Tower was right in front of us.

Looking at the sky-scraping tower in front of him, Bai Yutang said in a low voice: "Follow me all the way later, be careful, don't let others catch you."

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

"I'll explain it to you when I go back, but I can't say it now."

When Zhan Zhao heard the words, he immediately felt a drum in his heart. What is the purpose of Bai Yutang fooling himself into coming here?Could it be that... Bai Yutang belongs to King Xiangyang?That's why he was deliberately lured here, and then killed to silence him.

This reason is unlikely, because after all, Bai Yutang and Gongsun Ce have been together for so long, it is impossible for them to let him stay with Bai Yutang without finding some suspicious signs.That is the treasure that Bai Yutang wants in this skyscraper.

Staring at Bai Yutang in front of him, Zhan Zhao thought for a while and decided not to argue with him for the time being, and to ask the whole story of this matter after returning to the inn safely.

"The patrolling guards have passed, and we will pass now. There is only one chance, and once it passes, it will be gone."

"you--"

"go!"

Bai Yutang said in a low voice, and when the words fell, the person had disappeared from Zhan Zhao's eyes, and flew up to the corridor on the second floor of the Chongxiao Building opposite, sticking against the wall, hiding in the dark like an arrow from the string.Seeing this, Zhan Zhao immediately followed and landed next to Bai Yutang. As soon as his feet touched the ground, the sound of patrolling guards was heard from below.

I was startled—it was so dangerous!

If he had been one step late just now, he might have alarmed the guards in the palace.

"Keep quiet, there are guards upstairs."

"Why are you so familiar?" Zhan Zhao asked in a low voice, "You came to Xiangyang when you disappeared?"

Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered that when Gongsun Ce and Hua Manlou were in the capital, Bai Yutang left alone. At that time, he thought he was looking for Sishu, but now it seems that it is not that simple. There must be a secret in it.

Bai Yutang didn't answer when he heard the words, but just stared vigilantly at the guards passing by below.

Seeing this, Zhan Zhao curled his lips and didn't ask any more questions, but found that he and Bai Yutang were huddled together, and subconsciously moved a little away. Who would have thought that such a slight movement would be discovered.

"Where did the thief come from, dare to break into the palace!" An angry shout came from below, and Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, secretly screaming inwardly.

"Oops, I've been discovered, go away!" Bai Yutang grasped Zhan Zhao's wrist, performed lightness kung fu and walked out.

"Since you're here, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Why don't you stay and let me see your true colors."

The king of Xiangyang appeared at some unknown time, and the originally dark courtyard was suddenly illuminated by a fire, with Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang surrounded in the middle.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang and said in a low voice, "Go first, I'll cover."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go together." Bai Yutang drew his sword out of its sheath, stared at the surrounding guards and lowered his voice: "I know what's so great about this Xiangyang Palace. Grandpa, I can come and go whenever I want. If you If you can catch Grandpa and me today, you have the ability."

After speaking, without waiting for the opponent to make a move, he had already preemptively stabbed the two guards with his sword.
