treacherous world

Qiu Langxing left a strange poem and disappeared.

Bao Zheng ordered a search all over the city, but he was never found.But this time, the autumn test ended without any risk. Except for a living dead person and a strange person, everything else was safe and sound.

"Guard Zhan, could it be that Qiu Langxing is controlling the scholar's corpse?" Bao Zheng asked Zhan Zhao during the interval of Gongsun's autopsy.

Zhan Zhao shook his head in confusion, "My lord, I now realize that I really don't know him very well."

Bao Zheng nodded in understanding, "This government understands... By the way, why did you and Young Master Bai arrive in time to stop the zombie from committing crimes?"

"Master Qi Siren reminded us that as long as Bao Yan survives, he must be the No. [-] scholar." Zhan Zhao replied.

"Oh?" Bao Zheng twirled his beard, his face remained calm but there was a smile in his eyes, "Really?"

Zhan Zhao coughed lightly, leaned over and asked, "My lord, are you happy?"

"Huh?" Bao Zheng immediately put on a dignified look, "How can there be..."

"Hey." Zhan Zhao laughed at him.

Bao Zheng scowled, "Oh, it's not big or small!"

Zhan Zhao dangled around with his hands behind his back.

Bao Zheng looked around, "Where's Young Hero Bai?"

"He saw something dirty just now, so he should go to take a shower and change clothes, and then..." Zhan Zhao said, and suddenly raised his head to look at the sky, "It's past noon now?"

"It's too late." Bao Zheng looked at Zhan Zhao puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Yeah." Zhan Zhao stroked his chin, "I really want to forget something."

"what's up?"

"I can't remember." Zhan Zhao frowned in confusion.

At this time, Bai Yutang in the distance changed into a brand new white shirt, so graceful that he was about to fly, and walked over slowly.

"You guys go eat first." Bao Zheng said suddenly, "Bao Yan just said that he was hungry? Go and have a good meal, and I will give you money."

"Eat..." Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, "Ah! I forgot the banquet that Pang Yu and the others ordered!"

In Taibai's private room.

The fourth son was lying on the side of the table, using chopsticks to poke holes in the honey sauced lotus root in the bowl, and asked Pang Yu who was dozing off beside him, "Little fat, is the little steamed bun still not ready?"

Pang Yu was also puzzled, he opened the window and looked out, "That's not right, the street is full of witty scholars, the exam should be over."

"Ah!" The fourth son seriously asked, "Tell me, could it be that Xiao Mantou did not do well in the exam and is not in the mood to eat?"

Pang Yu also became nervous, "That's right, he always cares about face... Oh, he really didn't want to write his name on purpose, right? It's a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"Then what should I do." The fourth son jumped off the stool and landed with a "bang".

Pang Yu heard two "creaks and creaks", as if the floor was still shaking.

"Wow!" Pang Yu walked over, and lifted him up with his hands holding the creaking hole of the fourth son, "You are so fat, you jumped down and made a bang, and the floor almost collapsed."

"No way!" The fourth son's face flushed, "I'm not a fat guy who is useless and not tall or hard-working but just fat!"

"I didn't say it! You said it yourself." Pang Yu held up the little four and felt it, "It's not very heavy, what's going on?"

As he said, he jumped up and down by himself, and he heard a creaking sound, and the sound became louder and louder, and the floor visibly shook.

The fourth son quickly hugged Pang Yu, "Is the house going to collapse?"

"There's no reason!" Pang Yu stepped on it twice more. At this time, someone knocked on the door a few times, and the man poked his head in. "Young Master, are you demolishing the house?"

Pang Yu and the fourth son both looked at the door and shook their heads at the same time.

At this time, I saw many diners escaped from the downstairs of Taibaiju, and they all looked up, and some cursed, "I said, what's the matter with you Taibaiju? There's a big water ant or something, the house is shaking, find someone quickly take a look!"

Pang Yu and the fourth son froze there and did not dare to move. They couldn't figure out how they could be so capable and trample the house down.

At this moment, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang came to eat with Bao Yan, and they were puzzled when they saw the commotion at the gate of Taibai Residence.

Everyone followed the shopkeeper upstairs, and saw the fourth son and Pang Yu standing in the middle of the room staring at each other.

"What's going on?" Zhan Zhao asked the buddy.

The man shook his head, "I don't know what's going on, this building has been shaking since yesterday, just now the little prince and the young prince upstairs didn't know what they were doing, the whole building was creaking, it's really scary!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Pang Yu and the fourth son at the same time.

The fourth son is quite fat, but he is very small and the portion is limited.Pang Yu is very active, and he has been diligent in dancing recently, so he is not fat. How could these two people bring down the building?

Bai Yutang asked the fourth son, "Fourth son, what did you do just now?"

"Just Jiangzi!" The fourth son jumped on the spot, and sure enough, the sound of "creaking" came out again.

"Strange!" Zhan Zhao stood still and listened, and asked the buddy, "Didn't you have this kind of problem before?"

"It's never happened before, just yesterday, when the people on the second floor moved a lot, it started to ring." The guy replied quite helplessly, "I don't know what happened!"

"From yesterday to today, who has used this private room?"

"Well, this private room was vacant last night, but someone booked a treat in the private room next door." The waiter replied, "It's the little prince Chai Xing."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao said together, "Take us to have a look."

"Okay." The man took them to the private room next door. The room was clean and nothing special.

Zhan Zhao pointed to the ground for the fourth son, "Fourth son, do it again."

"Oh." The fourth son jumped up again.

The vibration felt by everyone was not as strong as the one next door.

"Is the problem still in that room?" Pang Yu asked.

"Not necessarily." Bai Yutang shook his head, stretched out his hand, and pointed to a pillar at an oblique corner of the room.

"Is this the load-bearing pillar of the Taibai Building?" Zhan Zhao asked the man.

"Yes." The man nodded, "In the past, the four corners of the building were load-bearing. Later, there were not enough rooms, and a floor was added. The master of Gailou said that the house might be unstable, so he added these four pillars to become eight pillars for load-bearing. It is also said that the town house can make money, this is one of them.

"Cat." Bai Yutang beckoned to Zhan Zhao.

When Zhan Zhao walked in, Bai Yutang stretched out his hand, gently touched the surface of the pillar, and asked the buddy, "Is there any dagger or something?"

Pang Yu came up and took out a beautiful eight-treasure dagger.

Bai Yutang glanced at it and praised, "Good stuff."

"Really? Cut Tieru!" Pang Yu said, and pulled out another one of eight treasures, which was very similar to this one, but the pattern was different, and he handed it to Bao Yan who was beside him, "Little Mantou, this Give it to you."

Bao Yan was taken aback, "Give it to me?"

"That's right." Pang Yu nodded, "When I bought it, I bought an extra one for you, you nerd, take it for self-defense."

Bao Yan took the knife and patted his head a little embarrassed, Pang Yu is so polite?

The fourth son opened his eyes wide and looked at the two of them curiously.

Zhan Zhao raised an eyebrow at Bai Yutang—what's the situation with these two?

Bai Yutang shrugged—it must be something like a childhood sweetheart.

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao nodded.

Bao Yan took his own and looked at Pang Yu's, and reached out to exchange one with him, "I like this one."

"Two are the same, steamed buns!" Pang Yu was depressed.

"I always think yours looks better." Bao Yanyan hid the knife in his hand, thought for a while, and added, "Xie La, I will return the gift to you in two days."

Seeing that the two had exchanged, Bai Yutang reached out and took the handle in Pang Yu's hand, and gently pried off a piece from the pillar, which turned out to be empty.

"Wow, you are too unreliable in Baiju, right?" Pang Yu jumped three feet high, "The load-bearing pillar is actually hollow!"

"Exactly!" Bao Yan also nodded, feeling that it was too unreliable.

"No, no!" The buddy and the shopkeeper following behind hurriedly shook their heads and waved their hands, "Impossible, this is high-quality mahogany, and a single pillar costs 1000 taels. Young Master, you can't talk nonsense."

"It's not about the wood, it's about the people." Bai Yutang shook his head, peeled off all the wood floating on the surface, and found an empty palm inside.

"Have someone slapped you?" Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to compare, "The inner strength is deep, not the palm of the air. The palm of the air should be hitting the wall behind the pillar. This is another skill."

Bai Yutang nodded, "It was hit by someone with deep inner strength, the purpose is to shatter the heavy pillar."

"Why is it so wicked to break the pillar?" Pang Yu was puzzled, "What if it collapsed by accident, for example, there are more people."

"This trick is very vicious, if someone did it on purpose." Zhan Zhao checked the cracks on both sides of the pillar with his eyes, "I don't think I can bear it for long."

"If it's intentional, is it to harm someone?" Bao Yan was startled.

Zhan Zhao frowned and asked the waiter beside him, "Did a large number of people come here for dinner these days?"

"It should be cleared up today, and it will be ready in a few days!" The man said, "The literary test has just passed, and it will be the turn of the martial arts test in a few days, and there must be a large number of people from the rivers and lakes. Oh, it won't be so vicious." ?!" The man was annoyed, "Those martial arts practitioners who don't jump up and down, how can there be a literati like this? If the Taibai House collapses, we will have to sue if we don't die!"

"Master Zhan!" The shopkeeper hurried over to hold Zhan Zhao, "We want to report the crime!"

"Don't worry." Zhan Zhao nodded, "Find someone to repair it first, and the case will naturally fall under the management of Kaifeng government."

The shopkeeper immediately asked someone to set up a few more load-bearing pillars. Today Zhan Zhao and the others didn't charge for their meal. Thanks to the fourth son, Fu Xing Gaozhao, he discovered the problem with the load-bearing pillars and saved Taibaiju's life.

Everyone had a good meal, and strolled back to Kaifeng Mansion to digest food after the meal.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked behind.

Zhan Zhao asked in a low voice, "Did Chai Xing design to create chaos? Or did it happen unintentionally?"

Bai Yutang shook his head, but he couldn't figure it out either.

"Five masters."

While walking, someone called from behind.

Bai Yutang looked back and saw that it was Bai Fu.

"What?" Seeing Bai Fu's anxious expression, Bai Yutang walked over.

Bai Fu leaned over and whispered something in Bai Yutang's ear, Bai Yutang smiled coldly, "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, fifth master, look..."

"Let's go back and deal with it." Bai Yutang twitched his lips, "It's quite interesting."

"What happened?" Zhan Zhao leaned over and asked.

"Oh, it's nothing." Bai Yutang smiled mysteriously, "Someone called the door of my Baifu, telling Bai Yutang to get out and die."

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes wide, wondering who is so arrogant? !

The eyes of Bao Yan and Pang Yu behind him were also twinkling.

Bai Yutang happily went back to the White Mansion.

Zhan Zhao grabbed Bai Fu and asked, "Who is so arrogant?"

"I don't know, a stupid boy with a broken knife." It was also the first time Bao Fu saw such a situation.

Zhan Zhao's eyes lit up, and he followed to watch the excitement.

In the back, Pang Yu and Bao Yan looked at each other, and each of them took the fourth son who didn't know why, and ran to watch the fun together.

At the gate of the Baifu, there is a coffin.On the coffin, sat a young man.

The young man was dressed in black, his clothes were very ragged, and he was sitting cross-legged on the coffin with a ripped knife in his hand.

The appearance is fairly handsome, with a shallow scar on the cheek.He sat there quietly, holding his breath, as if he was adjusting his breath.

Dong Xu stood at the door not far from him, watching curiously. Seeing Bai Yutang and the others coming, he waved quickly, pointed at the young man, and then pointed at his head, signaling—this head is not working!

Bai Yutang arrived near the coffin, looked at the coffin, then at the boy, and walked towards the gate.

Zhan Zhao hid behind a tree not far away to watch the excitement. After a while, Pang Yu Baoyan and his youngest son came behind him, and everyone watched together.

"Brother Zhan, who is that person?" Bao Yan asked Zhan Zhao in a low voice.

Zhan Zhao tilted his head, "Hmm...is there such a number one person in Jianghu? Could it be that they belong to the Beggar Gang who dress so shabby?"

"The Gang of Beggars!" Neither Pang Yu nor Bao Yan came from the Jianghu, they had heard of the name of the Gang of Beggars a long time ago, so they asked Zhan Zhao, "Is it very powerful?"

Zhan Zhao smiled, "The relationship between the Beggar Gang and Bai Yutang is very good, and they won't be as unruly as the younger generation. Challenges are one thing, and anyone who dares to say 'scroll' to Bai Yutang is courting death."

The fourth son squinted his eyes at Zhan Zhao, and said with a smile, "Miao Miao is so fond of Bai Bai!"

Zhan Zhao gave a dry cough, and stretched out his hand to pinch Xiaosi's cheek.

Bai Yutang walked around the coffin and walked to the main entrance. Dong Xu came up and went behind him and said, "I said, Bai Wu, no matter what he says in a while, you must keep calm!"

Bai Yutang was a little puzzled, and squinted at him, "What?"

"It's just that he will probably say something very irritating to you in a while. Remember, Kaifeng Mansion murdered and violated the law. Let's find a place to kill him secretly. Don't make it difficult for your lover!"

Bai Yutang was embarrassed, good friends...

At this moment, the young man slowly opened his eyes, circled his arms around the sides for half a circle, breathed in, raised his head, and saw Bai Yutang at the gate, "Are you Bai Yutang?"

Bai Yutang looked back at the young man, saw the broken knife in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Qian Kun Deaf and Mute Blade?"

"Deaf-mute knife?" Not far away, Pang Yu and Bao Yan, two curious little bumpkins from the rivers and lakes, huddled beside Zhan Zhao, one on the left and one on the right, and asked, "There are still deaf-mute knives?"

Zhan Zhao smiled, "The Qiankun Deaf and Mute Knife is also a famous knife. It is said that the knife maker who forged this knife is a person who forged a knife by listening to the knife. Generally, when casting a sword, apart from the sharpness of the blade, the blade surface The smoothness of the sword, and the strength of the sword. This strength depends entirely on listening! Experienced swordsmiths and swordsmiths can tell whether it is ready to fire as long as they hear the sound of the hammer touching the blade."

Both Pang Yu and Bao Yan nodded.

"One day, the swordsmith got a piece of black iron and wanted to forge a sword. Unexpectedly, he became deaf and dumb due to the poison in his body. The swordsmith wanted to hear the sound of the sword, but he couldn't hear it anyway. He couldn't speak when he asked the person, so he knocked hard in a fit of anger. The knife was full of gaps and the surface was not smooth." Zhan Zhao shook his head, "He originally thought that good iron was just so useless. I didn’t expect it to be self-defeating, this knife is extremely sharp and powerful, it has been passed down to this day, and it has become a treasured knife.”

"Oh!" Everyone nodded, such a background!

"Sure enough, I have some knowledge, as expected of the person that person likes!" The young man suddenly said something, which instantly froze the brisk atmosphere on Zhan Zhao's side.

Zhan Zhao turned his head and narrowed his eyes. Is it Bai Yutang's romantic debt again? !

The fourth son frowned, looking at Bai Yutang as if he was looking at a heartbreaker and playboy.

"I want to fight you!"

Before Bai Yutang could ask, the young man jumped off the coffin and kicked the coffin towards Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang flicked his sleeve lightly, and the coffin obediently stood aside, a few inches into the ground.

Pang Yu's eyes widened, "How did he do it? Juggling?"

Zhan Zhao curled his lips, "With Bai Yutang's internal strength, it's easy."

"Meow is fine too!" The fourth son obediently patted Zhan Zhao's horse, knowing that he must be in a very bad mood right now, there's no way it can be done, it's for nothing!

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and gently touched the cheek of the fourth son, this doll was still caring.

"Sure enough, his reputation is well-deserved, no wonder that person fell in love with you!" The young man still looked like he regarded Bai Yutang as his rival in love.

Bai Yutang found it funny, looked at the coffin, "You want to fight to the death with me?"

"That's right, this coffin is for the loser!" The boy raised his sword and pointed at the coffin.

Dong Xu clicked his tongue twice, "Do you want to open it up! There are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world."

The young man rolled his eyes at him, and pointed at him, "I know you, they say you are a playboy, and you like to lie to ignorant young women the most!"

The corner of Dong Xu's mouth twitched, "Bai Wu, when you beat him later, remember to give me two punches."

"Register first." Bai Yutang said calmly, "If you want to fight to the death with me, at least there is a reason."

"I don't change my name when I go, but I can't tell you!" The young man raised his face.

The fourth son whispered to Zhan Zhao, "This little brother seems to be a bit careless."

Zhan Zhao felt helpless for that young man, the fourth son felt that he was heartless, how heartless he must be.

"As for the reason for killing you, it's because you stole my sweetheart!" The young man stared wide-eyed, with the potential to burst into anger.

But Bai Yutang made him say dumbfounded, thinking that it was impossible, he had been staying in Kaifeng mansion recently to raise cats, and had never been to any other place.

"Did you make a mistake?" Bai Yutang was puzzled. "I haven't left Kaifeng for a long time."

"That's right!" The young man twisted his neck and looked rather stern, "My sweetheart is in Kaifeng! You mean and shameless villain will do everything possible to get close to him and please him! You won his heart!"

Bai Yutang was even more inexplicable, and Dong Xu whispered behind him, "I can't tell, brother, you're welcome!"

Behind the tree in the distance, Zhan Zhao felt uncomfortable, in Kaifeng?Bai Yutang is so busy these days, how can he still have time to attract bees and butterflies?The old fairy also said that he had good luck, so it was clearly this mouse!

"I've been talking for a long time." Bai Yutang frowned and asked the boy, "Who is your sweetheart?"

"My sweetheart won't change his name or surname, but I can't tell you!" The young man blushed, "I'm not as shameless as you, just say it in broad daylight!"

The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched, "Why is this young man so heartless, he's even more stupid than the fourth son!"

He blurted it out, forgetting that the fourth son in his arms was still sitting on his bowed knees.

The fourth son glanced back at Zhan Zhao faintly, Zhan Zhao opened his mouth, and was about to make amends, when Bai Yutang sneered, "You don't remember the name, you look stupid."

Zhan Zhao laughed——Bai Yutang took out the method he used to deal with the fourth son to deal with that person.

"I'm not stupid!" The young man seemed to be very afraid of being called stupid, so he argued, "I can read!"

"Then you can't read the name of your sweetheart?"

"I will!" The boy said louder, "The first thing I will write is those two words!"

Bai Yutang nodded, the two-letter name... who is it?

"His name is ugly?" Bai Yutang continued to provoke him.

"Bah!" The boy was angry, "I don't know how nice his name is!"

"Then you dare not say it?" Bai Yutang smirked, "Or is he ugly?"

"You!" The boy was furious, "Okay! I am not afraid to tell you, my sweetheart is... Zhan Zhao!"

"puff……"

Pang Yu just got tired of waiting, so he bought two bowls of sour plum soup from the tea stand to drink.As soon as the young man spoke, he sprayed Bao Yan's face with a mouthful of soup, and quickly reached out to wipe it off.

Looking at Zhan Zhao and the fourth son, the older one and the younger one had the same expressions, their eyes widened and their mouths wide open.

And look at Bai Yutang again.

The smile on his face faded away, he stared at the boy for a while, then sneered, "Oh?"

"I will fight you today!" The young man said seriously, "I won, so you are not allowed to pester him anymore!"

When Bai Yutang heard this, he suddenly smiled inexplicably.

"Ah!" Pang Yu poked Zhan Zhao, "It's over, Bai Yutang laughed like that!"

Zhan Zhao also raised his forehead, Bai Yutang was ready to lose his temper when he laughed like this, where did the crazy boy come here to talk nonsense?

Bai Yutang raised his hand, and the silver knife twirled in his hand. Wherever the cold light went, the young man frowned——Bai Yutang was the best knife in the world, and he really lived up to his reputation!

Bai Yutang looked at the young man, "You come out and wander the rivers and lakes, remember that I, Bai Yutang, have a taboo!"

The young man suddenly felt that Bai Yutang's aura seemed to be different, and asked, "What... what taboo?"

Behind him, Dong Xu hurriedly hid behind the door, opened the door and looked out, thinking - he was going to die, that kid poked Bai Yutang's vital point, the mouse went crazy!

"What taboo?" Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, with murderous intent, "Cat!"
