Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked side by side, followed by a majestic black tiger. Fortunately, it was already dark, and after all, it was freezing cold, so there were not many people strolling in the streets at night, but just like that, I was scared to the ground Many pedestrians.

As Zhan Zhao walked, he rubbed Heihu's head with his hands, naming it all the way, from "black sugar, black beans, black batter, to black melon, black vegetables, black charcoal head, blackened all the way, and there is no reason for it."

Bai Yutang reminded from the side, "Be careful of having the same name as Mr. Bao."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing, although it's not very kind to make fun of Mr. Bao, but there are indeed many words that start with black characters, which are usually used by Grand Master Pang to address Mr. Bao.

"Unfortunately, I don't know the name of the little Taoist priest who died." Zhan Zhao patted Heihu's head lightly, "Otherwise, borrowing it and using it can be regarded as a souvenir."

Bai Yutang looked at the black tiger, and said, "This tiger should have seen the murderer who killed the Taoist priest, and maybe also met Tianmu."

"Guess if it and Tianmu bite each other, who can bite the other?" Zhan Zhao was quite interested.

Bai Yutang teased him, "Save your energy and eat later, don't be so hungry that you can't lift your chopsticks later."

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao leaned on his arm, "I'm so hungry, I can't even walk, come, give me a hand!"

Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, at this time, the two had already arrived at the foot of Baigui Mountain, and there were a few people standing at the entrance of the mountain, as if they were waiting.

On the steps at the foot of the mountain, snow swept to both sides, the ocher-colored rocky steps, and on the bottom step, stood a man in a white sable fur——Qin Lisheng.

Behind Qin Lisheng, there were two attendants, and Xue Baiqin, who seemed to be a little excited, did not know what to say to Qin Lisheng.

As soon as Xue Baiqin saw Zhan Zhao and the others coming, she immediately pushed Qin Lisheng, and then ran forward, "Brother Zhan, Brother Bai, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I thought you wouldn't come!"

Zhan Zhao looked at the time and it seemed that it was a bit late, so he said he was sorry, he just had some business to deal with.

"It's okay, just come." Xue Baiqin went up to invite the two of them, and as soon as he got up to him, he saw a big black tiger flashing behind Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

"Yeah!" Xue Baiqin jumped in shock and hid behind Qin Lisheng.

"What's wrong?" Qin Lisheng wondered.

"tiger!"

"Tiger?" Qin Lisheng was taken aback.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang subconsciously looked at the black tiger, and saw it sitting aside and yawning, it didn't seem to respond to Qin Lisheng and Xue Baiqin.

The two looked at each other—it seems that the death of the little Taoist priest should have nothing to do with these two people.

"Is there a tiger? I can't feel the breath of a wild animal." Qin Lisheng stretched out his hand, as if to touch it.

Heihu yawned and moved to Bai Yutang's side, not letting him touch it.

"It's kind of shy." Qin Lisheng smiled lightly, and while finding the exact location of Bai Yutang, he cupped his hands, "Brother Bai, long time no see, are you here all right?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "Don't come here without any problems."

"Let's go up and talk, big brother and the others should be waiting." Xue Baiqin smiled and led everyone up the mountain.

Zhan Zhao rubbed his nose and glanced at Bai Yutang by the way—there was no smell of food.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao helplessly.

The two looked at each other, and then heard Qin Li ask, "Brother Bai, are you here to do business in the north?"

Bai Yutang raised his head and answered casually, "Yes."

"Brother Lu, are they all alright?" Qin Lisheng was obviously familiar with everyone on Xingkong Island.

Bai Yutang nodded, "Very good."

Zhan Zhao touched him with his arm - can you be a little more enthusiastic, it's so strange.

Bai Yutang was a little funny - I'm like this with everyone.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows to look at him——really?

"Brother Zhan, did you raise this tiger?" Xue Baiqin really had a lively temperament, seeing that the tiger was not aggressive, she stretched out her hand to touch it, and asked Zhan Zhao, "What's its name?"

"Hmm..." Zhan Zhao thought for a while, then smiled, "It's called Black Friday."

"Ahem..." Bai Yutang choked without paying attention, coughing and looking at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao winked at him, "Tangtang is the third son and the fourth son, this time there is a fifth son, let's get together!"

Bai Yutang was speechless, it seems that after Baitang, there is another Black Friday, others call it White Five, okay, it's two brothers again.

Zhan Zhao seemed quite satisfied with the name, and reached out to pat Hei Hu on the head, "Xiao Wu."

Heihu flicked his tail, showing Zhao Zhao's clothes while walking...

Qin Lisheng seemed to turn his head back, of course he didn't know why he turned his head back, and he couldn't see the scene behind him.

Xue Baiqin noticed that the hem of Zhan Zhao's clothes was a bit strange, and after a closer look, she said "pooh, Brother Zhan, your clothes are torn!"

Zhan Zhao looked back and remembered that Xiao Wu had bitten the back of his clothes just now.

Zhan Zhao gave Xiao Wu a sideways look—you haven't lost money yet!

Xiao Wu continued to flick his tail, flicking the back of Zhan Zhao's clothes, looking very lively and thick-skinned.

Bai Yutang looked at Xiao Wu, this tiger is quite heartless, its owner just died, and he and Zhan Zhao had a good time... But then again, no one knows whether the Taoist is the owner of this tiger , although there is a black tiger tattoo.

After walking the long mountain road, we arrived at the main entrance of Baigui Villa.

The White Ghost Villa occupies a very large area, and it was built on the mountain. A wall was built from the middle of the mountain. The houses on the side of the mountain follow the slope of the mountain. Zhan Zhao glanced at it and thought it looked like a magic palace. Although the building is far from as majestic as the Demon Palace, the houses are not as exquisite and beautiful as the Demon Palace.After all, Tong Shenghai, who is known as the reincarnated Luban, designed the Demon Palace. Tong Shenghai is also a member of the Demon Palace. The old man is very impressive. Zhan Zhao made all the toys when he was a child.

Zhan Zhao looked at the houses of Baigui Mountain Villa, feeling homesick for some reason, and also missed his uncles and aunts.

After thinking about it, Zhan Zhao suddenly asked Bai Yutang, "Did Tianzun go home?"

Bai Yutang was taken aback for a moment, and understood what Zhan Zhao said. It's not too far from Tianshan here, and you can go directly to Tianshan after passing the Liao territory...

"If you want to go, I'll take you there. I haven't been back for a long time." Bai Yutang said indifferently, "It doesn't matter if Master is here or not. During this time, snow lotus flowers are in bloom. Pick some and bring them back to make medicine for Gongsun."

"I heard that snow lotus looks similar to cabbage?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously, this is what he heard from the fourth son before.That day, the fourth son was reciting the names of medicinal materials, so Zhan Zhao approached him and asked him if the Tianshan snow lotus was the most beautiful among the medicinal materials, the fourth son pursed his lips and said, "The Tianshan snow lotus looks like an upside-down cabbage. "

After hearing Zhan Zhao's words, Bai Yutang couldn't bear it anymore, and burst out laughing.

Qin Lisheng stopped in his tracks and turned his head, as if he was a little surprised - it turned out that Bai Yutang would laugh like this.

Zhan Zhao was also a little embarrassed, was he cheated by the little four?

While speaking, he had already entered the gate of Baigui Villa.

The villa is very quiet, no one is there, probably everyone is preparing for the dinner.

"In the back yard." Xue Baiqin led everyone back.

Passing through the long aisle, the sound of silk and bamboo came from a distance, which seemed to be singing and dancing.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows at Bai Yutang—— Xue Baigui is quite capable of tossing around, why not have a meal, and prepare to sing and dance.

Bai Yutang shook his head - not familiar with him, I only heard that he is very particular about food and clothing, but it seems that he has invited other guests today.

When everyone entered the backyard, they saw a small river in front of them. There was a Jiuqu bridge on the river. At the other end of the bridge was a small island in the middle of the lake. There was a garden on the island. There were many guests sitting in the garden, who seemed to be drinking and chatting. There is a pavilion, there are musicians and dancers in the pavilion, which is very elegant.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows at Bai Yutang - he really enjoyed it, but it was a bit too much.

Bai Yutang laughed.

When everyone walked across the Jiuqu Bridge, Zhan Zhao didn't smell the fragrance of vegetables, but a scent of flowers.

"Ah Choo." Xiao Wu sneezed, as if he also disliked the strong smell.

Bai Yutang looked at the flowers around him. In winter, plum blossoms bloomed a lot. There were more other potted plants than flowers. Where did the fragrance come from?On the contrary, it is more like incense deliberately used.

Zhan Zhao rubbed his nose, thinking that this Baigui Villa must be full of big men after all, why is it so smudged.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, saw that he was puzzled, and motioned him to look at Qin Lisheng in front of him.

Zhan Zhao thought about it, probably Xue Baigui deliberately made such an obvious smell in the villa, so that Qin Lisheng could know where he was, for example, the garden has the fragrance of flowers.Thinking about it carefully, you can hear the sound of running water on the Jiuqu Bridge just now. There are many pine trees in the previous corridor, which smell of rosin. When entering the mountain gate, many wind chimes were hung.

Zhan Zhao nodded, so Xue Baigui is quite careful, he seems to value Qin Lisheng very much.

In addition to Xue Baigui, there are already other heads of Baigui Villa, as well as a few friends. Zhan Zhao quickly scanned around, but none of them recognized them.

Xue Baigui stood up to greet him, and he was quite enthusiastic, but I don't know if this person is more serious, Zhan Zhao always felt that he was smiling, as if he had a deep scheming heart.

A few words of politeness are inevitable, but Bai Yutang is not good at socializing, Zhan Zhao is so hungry that he is not in the mood to socialize, the black tiger stands beside Zhan Zhao, flicking his tail and looking around, it is the exact opposite of Zhan Zhao, just now it was a pig's hind leg and a The two pheasants hiccupped when they were so full, and they still used their tails to flick the back of Zhan Zhao's clothes, as if they were afraid that others would not know that Zhan Zhao's clothes were torn.

After finally being seated at the table, Xue Baigui toasted with a wine glass, thanking Zhan Zhao for saving his sister.

Zhan Zhao held the wine glass, there were only two jars of wine on the table, nothing to eat!

Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang - could they have finished eating?

Bai Yutang touched his nose—let me ask for you.Immediately, he was about to turn his head to ask Qin Lisheng, but Zhan Zhao quickly stopped him.

Bai Yutang looked back at him, a little puzzled.

Zhan Zhao glared at him—how to ask?Do you ask "When do you have dinner?"

Bai Yutang frowned—why didn't you ask?Are you hungry?

Zhan Zhao was a little awkward——how embarrassing.

Bai Yutang wanted to laugh inexplicably, thinking that your waist has shrunk a lot from hunger, are you still holding on?

Xue Baigui talked excitedly, and even chatted about this year's weather, the corners of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched, regretting that he was so stubborn just now, if he had known earlier, he would buy a steamed stuffed bun first.

Bai Yutang thought it was better to say something, otherwise the cat would be in trouble if it was starved to death, but before he could speak, Qin Lisheng said to Xue Baigui, "Master, let's talk while eating, it's late."

"Oh." Xue Baigui also remembered, and said, "Then let's not wait for the third child, and we don't know when he will come back, so let's serve the food first."

Bai Yutang saw that after Zhan Zhao heard the word "serve", the corners of both sides of his mouth also twitched, obviously his affection for Qin Lisheng doubled.

Soon, the butler brought the maids to serve the dishes. It was freezing cold, so there were no cold dishes, but hot dishes.

Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes, prepared to ignore the others, and investigated the White Ghost Villa when he was full.

"Brother Zhan, try this." Xue Baiqin did not forget to be courteous, and introduced to Zhan Zhao the first dish brought up, "This is roast goose in honey sauce, the signature dish of the chef of Baigui Villa, and this Ah, spicy rabbit meat."

Zhan Zhao is in a good mood. There is no seafood in the Great North, but the wild game seems to be good.

Holding the chopsticks, Zhan Zhao was considering whether to eat rabbit or roast goose, when he was about to put down the chopsticks, he heard a voice from outside the yard, "Brother, I'm back."

While speaking, a tall young man walked in outside the courtyard gate.

He was wearing a black fur cape, he walked windily, and his voice was quite loud, as if he had returned from a long journey, and he had such a dusty vigor.After entering the yard, he opened his mouth, "I heard that Xiaoqin was attacked? Was she injured?"

"Third brother, I'm fine." Xue Baiqin said with a smile, not forgetting to introduce the next dish to Zhan Zhao.

Bai Yutang took a look at the person who came, he was in his thirties, with a beard, he was quite energetic, and his skills should be good, this is the most difficult thing Wang Zhifu said, and he was secretly doing Wangyousan business. The son, Pan Laosan.

Bai Yutang sized it up for a while, but didn't take a closer look. He was more curious about what dish Zhan Zhao ate for the first time, and wanted to remind him, don't eat that rabbit, it looks very spicy, eat something else first, otherwise you should eat it. Stomach hurts.

But the strange thing was that Zhan Zhao, who had been clamoring for hunger, held up his chopsticks, but he didn't pick up the food. After a long time, he put down the chopsticks.

Xue Baiqin looked at Zhan Zhao curiously, "Brother Zhan, isn't it to your liking?"

Bai Yutang also looked over, and saw that the originally happy smile on Zhan Zhao's face was gone, replaced by a stinky face that rarely appeared.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly—why did Zhan Zhao look so ugly?Could it be that I really have a stomachache from being too hungry?But look again... Zhan Zhao's eyes can be complicated, I don't know if it's his own illusion, there seems to be a faint anger, and there is such a disdain, there is a slight sneer hanging from the corner of his mouth, his eyes are looking at , it was Pan Laosan who just walked in.

Pan Laosan also stood still when he walked halfway. Obviously, he also saw Zhan Zhao.

The two were looking at each other at a distance of about ten steps.

The atmosphere instantly became awkward. Qin Lisheng was more sensitive to the atmosphere because of his blindness, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Xue Baigui also frowned, "Third brother, what are you doing?"

The expression on Pan Laosan's face at this time can even be described as ferocious. He gritted his teeth and looked at Zhan Zhao. After a long time, he choked out two words, "It's you?"

Zhan Zhao smiled coldly, "Heh."

"Uh..." Xue Baiqin was curious, "You guys know each other?"

"Brother, why is he here?" Elder Pan asked Xue Baigui back.

"Oh, Brother Zhan is Bai Qin's savior..."

Before Xue Bai could finish his nonsense, Zhan Zhao stood up slowly, and raised an eyebrow at Bai Yutang, which meant—to leave.

Everyone looked at Zhan Zhao in surprise, and Bai Yutang also looked at him with some puzzlement—what's wrong?

Zhan Zhao cupped his hands to Xue Baigui, "Master Xue, I won't eat this meal, you Baigui Villa knows people with eyes, do good deeds and don't do bad things." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

Everyone opened their mouths wide open, and even Xue Baigui didn't realize it for a moment——Zhan Zhao is gentle and refined, why did he suddenly turn his back on him? What he said...

Zhan Zhao strode out, Pan Laosan was standing in the middle of the road at this time, Zhan Zhao didn't let him, walked up to him and said, "Get out of the way, good dogs don't block the way."

Everyone gasped.

Bai Yutang also came up with Xiao Wu at this time, he came with Zhan Zhao, so naturally he also walked with Zhan Zhao.

Based on what he knew about Zhan Zhao, it was unlikely that he would lose his head and lose his mind due to starvation. It seems that there was an enmity between him and Pan Laosan... It's strange that Zhan Zhao actually had such a deep hatred with others, and turned his face to such an extent. There is no room for change. What did the third son, Pan, do something outrageous?

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Pan Laosan still had a few attendants behind him, and when he heard Zhan Zhao speak, he was too impolite. At first, he thought he was Xue Baigui's guest, so he put up with it, but "good dogs don't block the way" all came out. It's too disrespectful to Baigui Villa.

At this time, Pan Laosan stretched out his hand and stopped the people behind him, seeing his pale face, he took half a step back holding his breath.

Zhan Zhao walked over without even looking at the crowd.

With his hands behind his back, Bai Yutang followed Xiao Wu, who also passed by Pan Laosan.

Xiao Wu raised his head and took a look at Pan Laosan. He didn't know if the tiger was too smart to discover Zhan Zhao's hostility towards him, or if it was for some other reason, so he let out a low "Hoo Hoo" from its throat. roar.

"Mom."

The few attendants behind Pan Laosan didn't see it at first. This black light is blind, and this tiger is all black. If you don't look carefully, you really didn't notice it. This time it made a sound, and it trembled when you saw it-what a big tiger!

Third Pan was also taken aback, took a step back, and frowned at the tiger.

Bai Yutang reached out and patted Tiger's head, and Xiao Wu followed Zhan Zhao.

Bai Yutang looked at the crowd and felt that it must be difficult, he waved his hand to Xue Baiqin who was chasing after her anxiously, and signaled - don't give it away, leave.

The two walked gracefully, leaving everyone embarrassed.

After a long time, Xue Baigui asked Pan Laosan with a sullen face, "What's going on?"

Pan Laosan frowned for a while, and said, "I have some grudges with Zhan Zhao, he hates me, and I don't want to see him."

……

Zhan Zhao quickly walked out of the White Ghost Villa and headed down the mountain.

Bai Yutang walked a few steps quickly, and walked down the mountain side by side with him, without speaking or asking, just walking back with him.

When the two left Baigui Villa and walked to the gate of Yanzhou Fucheng, Zhan Zhao took a look at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang also glanced at him, suddenly raised his hand, caught a snowflake that was falling, and said lightly, "It's snowing."

Zhan Zhao raised his head, and the snowflakes fell one after another as if he had heard Bai Yutang's call... It was the first time in Zhan Zhao's life that he saw the beginning of heavy snow falling, and felt that the scene was very shocking.After looking at it for a long time, he sighed softly, and walked forward somewhat dejectedly.

Heihu walked next to Zhan Zhao, his tail was still gently hooking the hem of his clothes, his movements were more docile than before, not as naughty as before.

"You don't ask?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang suddenly.

"I'm ready to listen to what you want to say." Bai Yutang held the knife behind his back, "But this is the first time I've seen you lose your temper. What did Brother Pan do to offend you like this? ?”

Zhan Zhao was silent for a moment, then said, "He killed my friend."

Bai Yutang froze for a moment, and asked, "How good is it?"

Zhan Zhao frowned, "It's as good as kissing your elder brother."

Bai Yutang was silent for a moment, "I'll kill him for you, if it's not convenient for you."

Zhan Zhao didn't expect Bai Yutang to say such a thing, he couldn't laugh or cry, "If I could kill me, I would have killed it long ago."

"Why not kill?" Bai Yutang wondered.

"His real name is Pan Xu." Zhan Zhao said quietly, "Zhao Pu must know him."

"Pan Xu?" Bai Yutang thought the name was very familiar, and pondered for a moment, "Pan Xu... the commander of the Imperial City Army, Pan Xu? Later, he was exposed and almost beheaded because of his many crimes, but because his ancestors were loyal and good for three generations, his ancestors even It was because of his meritorious service in assisting Taizu, so he had to avoid death, so he was demoted from a second-rank general to a commoner, and sent to the extremely cold borderlands."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, and said flatly, "It was I who sent him to the border with nothing, so he hates me very much."

"Pan Xu was demoted several years ago. At that time, you hadn't worked in Kaifeng Mansion, right?" While speaking, the two of them had already returned to the Yamen Gate of Yanzhou Mansion.

"It's a long story." Zhan Zhao was discouraged, "I would rather starve to death if I had to eat at the same table with him."

"Of course you don't have to eat at the same table with him, but there's no need to be hungry, just eat at the same table with me." Bai Yutang dragged Zhan Zhao to the courtyard.

Zhan Zhaozheng couldn't understand what was going on, and smelled a fragrance.

"Yeah! Here we come!"

In the backyard, a few large pots under the awning are boiling hot, and there are many vegetables beside the pot, such as beef, mutton, frozen tofu... Xiao Sizi was cooking mutton with chopsticks, when he turned his head and saw that Zhan Zhao and the others had returned, he shouted .

Zhao Pu and the others are all there, they have made a few big pots and are eating hot pot, it's so lively.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang smiled, "It's cold, hot pot is the best." After speaking, he pulled Zhan Zhao over to sit down.

The fourth son picked up a bunch of cooked fish balls and quail eggs and handed them to Zhan Zhao, "Maomao, these meatballs are delicious!"

Zhan Zhao took it, took a bite, and chewed—beef balls, right!

"Take a sip." Gongsun brought him a bowl of soup, and Zhan Zhao took a sip—very authentic beef vermicelli soup.

Zhao Pu handed over the grilled mutton again, Master Bao also handed Zhan Zhao a donkey meat on the fire, Zhan Zhao who was in a bad mood just now burst into a groan - happy!

Bai Yutang was holding a wine glass to drink, Zhan Zhao's mouth was too busy to talk for the time being, and he had one free hand to pick up food for Bai Yutang so that he wouldn't drink too much and eat too much.

Pang Ji was a little curious, and asked Bai Yutang, "Didn't you go to Baigui Villa to eat delicious food? Why did you come back so soon?"

"Yes." Zhao Pu was also puzzled.

In fact, just before going out, Bai Yutang asked Bai Fu to set up a stand in the back-up and invite everyone to a hot pot. When it was cold, everyone had worked hard in disaster relief, so let's reward them.Secondly, he was afraid that Zhan Zhao would not be able to eat this meal if something happened later.Unexpectedly, Bai Yutang made the right bet and didn't eat the third meal.

"It was edible." Bai Yutang said, "But when I met Pan Laosan, the cat said that he would rather starve to death than eat at the same table with him." Zhan Zhao was chewing on the mutton that the fourth son helped him to boil. Nodding, expressing—that's what happened.

"Then who is Pan Laosan?" Bao Zheng also wondered, Zhan Zhao has always been good-tempered, and it's even better if he has delicious food, so he got angry?

"Pan Xu."

……

As soon as Bai Yutang's words came out, Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows, the meaning - no wonder.

Pang Ji shook his head and sneered.

Zhao Pu chewed a ball and curled his lips, "This guy is still alive, he really caused a thousand years of trouble!"
