treacherous world

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked towards the wind in the forest, behind the dense bushes, they didn't know what was hidden.

The fourth son lay on the back of the stone and looked forward curiously, and he also smelled that strange smell.He often followed Gongsun for autopsies, and recognized that it smelled like a dead person, and it seemed to be stinky.If a dead person stinks, it is safer than a living person, and a dead person will not harm anyone.

Bai Yutang walked over, and used his knife to part the grass... Everyone looked through the gaps in the bushes, and saw a miserable scene in front of them.

Behind the bushes is a small hillside, to be precise, it is a place like a mass grave, no wonder there is a smell of corpses.However, rock and scissors will not make a defensive posture if there are only dead people.

The two walked around the mass grave when they heard a strange sound coming from the front.

The scissors squeaked, and the fourth son suddenly saw something moving in the woods in the distance. He was curious and wanted to take a look, but was caught by the stone and dragged back, and pressed it under his stomach.Stone instinctively hid the little four, and Scissors stared ahead vigilantly. The two clawed civets had never been so nervous.

Zhan Zhao frowned——what is it?

Bai Yutang looked sideways at a corner of the forest, and there was indeed something... He took a few steps forward and looked carefully.I saw a group of black figures squatting in the corner, holding a severed limb, as if they were gnawing.

Only then did the two of them see clearly that the person with the stump in his mouth was a curled up person, and the person didn't know whether it was because of illness or some other reason, in short, he looked haggard and very ugly.The skin all over the body has turned into maroon. If you don't look carefully, you may think it is some ghostly monster.

"Who are you?" Zhan Zhao tried to communicate with him, but the man screamed strangely, opened his mouth to reveal a mouthful of bloody fangs, and jumped towards Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao hurriedly took a step back, dodging his sharp claws, Bai Yutang saw that he was fierce and not very human, so he hit him on the back with the knife.

"Crack" sound.

The man fell to the ground suddenly, as if ceramics had been shattered, the ground cracked and a lot of black blood splashed out, and he died on the ground within a short while.

This time it was Bai Yutang's turn to be surprised, he pretended to be innocent to Zhan Zhao, "I didn't use any force..."

Zhan Zhao also nodded in understanding, and showed Bai Yutang the bones exposed where the man fell.

"Why are the bones so thin?" Bai Yutang knelt down to look, and felt that something was wrong.

"Well!"

At this time, the fourth son who was hidden under the stone struggled to get out, gasping for breath, "Stone, I'm suffocating!"

Shi Shi hurriedly stood up, and the fourth son finally crawled out, ran to Zhan Zhao and the others, and opened his eyes wide, "Oh, this man is sick!"

"What disease?" Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao asked in unison.

"Daddy told me what it's called scurvy. I've seen it once before." The fourth son poked the wounded bone with a branch, "This kind of disease is rare. It may appear on the body. But he is so serious, you can see that the bones have shrunk together, and there are blood blisters all over the body. His bones are very brittle, so he will die when he touches it."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, not to mention, the fourth son still knew a lot of strange things.

"A boat runner?" Zhan Zhao frowned.

"Squeak!"

At this time, Stone and Scissors squatted near the mass grave, flicking their tails at the crowd.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked over to have a look, only to see them squeaking towards the mass grave.

"What's their name?" Zhan Zhao asked the fourth son.

The fourth son rubbed his head, "Well, you look so happy, probably because you found the flowers you asked them to find?"

"Flowers?" Bai Yutang frowned, jumped onto a tall tree next to him, climbed up the branch and glanced into the mass grave, his expression was also ugly, "Cat."

Zhan Zhao went up and looked down, only to realize that the mass grave was just a cover, and there was another mystery inside!

This mass grave is higher than the ground, forming a small hillside, surrounded by the remains of corpses, so people don't pay attention to the situation inside. Most normal people turn around and leave when they see such a terrible scene.

But in fact, the middle of the mass grave was empty, and a field was opened, and the blood-red soil was covered with bewitching red flowers—a large piece of blood gall was planted in the mass grave.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang understood it, no wonder Stone and Scissors wanted to bring them here, didn't they just find it!

"Yutang." Zhan Zhao suddenly pointed to the flower field for him to see.

Bai Yutang looked in the direction of his fingers, and saw that among the flowers, some vines were bearing fruit, some were gradually turning from blue to red, and some were completely blood-red, hanging on the vines like hanging galls... blood Devil!

"Is someone cultivating blood demon guts here?" Bai Yutang thought of the shed just now, "Maybe that shed is where the flower growers lived."

"The four eminent monks found out, so they were killed to silence them..." Zhan Zhao thought it was possible, but he still had doubts, "What's the matter with this scurvy man? He moved very fast, but he was vulnerable. "

"Meow meow, for nothing."

At this time, they heard the fourth son below suddenly calling them.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked down, and saw the fourth son looking up at them.

"Little Si, we'll go down in a while." Zhan Zhao said, but saw Xiao Si stretched out his hand and pointed above them, "On the top of the tree!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were taken aback for a moment, and when they looked up, they were immediately dumbfounded.

I saw some broken and incomplete corpses hanging on the top of the tree, all withered and shriveled, just like the person who died of scurvy in front of me.

……

Soon, Zhan Zhao had someone find Gongsun and the others, and everyone was stunned by this strange sight.

"Hmm..." Gongsun frowned and stared at the corpse of the man who died of scurvy, "This is scurvy."

"But why are the teeth pointed?" Zhan Zhao didn't understand.

"A man with scurvy will have receding gums, and some of his teeth will fall out, and the thin, shrunken and blood-stained teeth will look terrible. But there are other problems in his body, and you see blood oozing from his internal organs. The amount, I dare say he also has blood in his stomach."

"It's disgusting." Zhao Pu curled his lips, "This is the boundary of the Lotus Building. Someone is planting blood and galls here, so it's impossible for the Lotus Building not to know?"

"Not counting the boundary of the Lotus Building." Zhan Zhao pointed to a boundary marker above the mass grave and said, "That's the boundary, and this mass grave just happens to be on the periphery of the Lotus Building!"

"Isn't the method very clever?" Zhao Pu sneered, "We have to ask the sissy who is the most happiest, and see how he answers."

After disposing of the corpses, it was noon, and everyone who wandered around the mass grave for a long time had no appetite, so they returned to Kaifeng mansion first.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Zhan Zhao saw Pang Yu strolling out with a toothpick in his mouth, "A distinguished guest has arrived!"

Everyone was puzzled, "What distinguished guest?"

"Drinking tea with Xiang Bao in the study." Pang Yu said with a smile, "Oh, it's better to meet each other than to be famous, so rich!"

Everyone was confused when they heard this, and ran to the door of the study to have a look, Zhan Zhao was startled.

I saw Yin Hou running over at some point, sitting in the study with Bao Zheng talking and drinking tea, Bai Xia was also with them, and the three of them talked quite happily.

After the chat, Yin Hou visited Zhan Zhao's courtyard in Kaifeng Mansion again.

Zhan Zhao grabbed him, dragged him to a place where no one was around, and asked, "Why did you come here?"

Yin Hou shrugged, "I heard that Master Bao asked you to arrest me within a day, didn't I surrender myself?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhan Zhao looked around, "What does your lord say?"

"Oh, he let me do whatever I want, keep a low profile, come and go on guard, and try my best to help." Yin Hou replied with a smile, "Master Bao is wise and intelligent, and he is a dragon and phoenix among people."

"Then you listen to his advice, stay in the yard and don't run around!" Zhan Zhao thought about it for a while, and felt that this was also a safe way. With Yin Hou by his side, he could watch him all the time, and he was not afraid of being caught by him. People are plotting or something.

After eating together, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went to see Gongsun's autopsy. Everyone still had work to do, and Yin waited to wander around idly. When he wandered into the garden, he saw a fat mouse, not like a mouse, and a little bear, The creamy white animal is running around to catch a butterfly.

Yin Hou stared at it for a while, squatted down, and waved at it, "Tsk tsk tsk..."

It was Shi Shi who was chasing butterflies in the yard. Shi Shi turned his face and saw an unknown person crouching there, greeting him, sniffing his nose—it smelled like Zhan Zhao.

So, the stone walked over.

Yin Hou looked at it for a while, Shi Shi hurriedly wagged his tail, instinctively feeling that this person should not be offended.

Yin Hou touched Shitou's ears and felt that it felt good, so he pinched and played with it, thinking that Kaifeng Mansion really has everything, this little guy should be a civet from the Western Regions, right?

I was having fun pinching, when I heard the sound of "da da da" footsteps at the gate of the yard, someone trotted over, the footsteps were very small, Yin Houxin said that the legs were too short, could it be a doll?

Sure enough, a fat baby turned into the gate of the yard.

It was the fourth son who came in.The fourth son was doing an autopsy with Gongsun. Gongsun wanted to find some information about scurvy, but Zhao Pu was of no use.The fourth son ran into the Library Pavilion, Shitou Pidiandian followed, and waited at the door, so he played with Yin Hou.

When the fourth son ran out with the book in his hands, he saw Yin Hou playing with the stone.

Standing in the courtyard with three books in his hands, the fourth son tilted his head to look at Yin Hou.

Yin Hou also squatted there staring at him, thinking to himself—tsk tsk, this doll is so cute, chubby, Zhao was so cute when he was a child, but not as fat as him.

The fourth son stared at Yin Hou for a while, then clapped his hands, "Oh, grandpa is Miaomiao's relative, right?"

Yin Hou was taken aback, raised his eyebrows, "Meow?"

The fourth son came over a few steps, raised his face to look at Yin Hou, "The eyes and meow look like wow!"

"Is Meow Meow talking about Zhan Zhao?" Yin Hou stretched out his hand, and poked the round cheek of the fourth son, feeling once again in his heart, fat baby!

"Yeah." The fourth son nodded, feeling the stone behind him hugging him, so he pulled the stone to the front, "It's called Shitou, it's a girl, and there is a male Shitou in Kaifeng Mansion, Grandpa Meow, don't make a mistake."

"Meow...Grandpa?" An image of an old bearded cat popped up in Yin Hou's head inexplicably, he quickly shook his head, stretched out his hand and pinched the fourth son, "Child, who are you? Zhan Zhao and I are like Is it?"

"I'm the fourth son!" The fourth son replied, "Like."

Yin Hou sounds new, Zhan Zhao has a gentle and kind face, he is loved by everyone, and he looks vicious, and most people are afraid... There is no similarity between the two, and this little boy can tell at a glance that they are relatives ?

"Where does it look like?" Yin Hou asked with interest.

"Eyes!" Little Four looked up and looked carefully, "However, Miao Miao's eyes are not the same color now, they are more similar to before."

Yin Hou narrowed his eyes slightly.

The fourth son clapped his hands, "Ah, you look like Meow Meow when you think about things!"

Yin Hou's eyes flashed, and the fourth son was happy, "You were happy just now, didn't you? It's like a meow reaction!"

Yin Hou felt inexplicably better, so he found a stone stool beside him and sat down, chatting with the fourth son, "Your name is the fourth son?"

"Yes."

"Are you familiar with Zhan Zhao?"

"Yeah!" Little Four nodded.

"What about Bai Yutang?" Yin Hou asked with great interest.

"Both Baibai and Miaomiao are familiar." The fourth son put the book on the table, climbed onto the stool and chatted with Yin Hou, "Grandpa Miao, what kind of relative are you Miaomiao?"

"Well...you can't say, you just think I have nothing to do with him." Yin Hou held his chin and pinched Shi Shi's ear.

"Why?" The fourth son was puzzled.

"It will cause trouble for him, little four, don't mention this to others." Yin Hou said, "Oh." Little four nodded, "Okay."

Yin Hou saw the books on the table, reached out and took one and flipped through it, "You read this kind of book at such a young age?"

"Daddy wants it." The fourth son took out a small purse from his arms, opened it and took out a few pine nut candies, "Please eat candies."

Yin Hou was happy, and took one, and the fourth son gave Shi Shi another one, and gave one to his own mouth.With sugar in his mouth, one cheek puffed up, and the fourth son continued, "Grandpa Meow is also here to watch the ceremony like Daddy Bai?"

"Well...the main thing is to see how Bai Yutang is doing." Yin Hou ate the candy, "I would like to watch the ceremony, but it still depends on the situation."

"Bai Bai is very good, but I don't know if it will go smoothly this time." The fourth son said with a little disappointment, "Since Miao Miao's brother disappeared, there have been many, many things, one after another, Miao Meow and Baibai don't have time to talk about love. Jiujiu and Daddy were still fighting at that time, so they had time to kiss each other."

"Since Zhan Hao's disappearance?" Yin Hou frowned, flipping through the book brought by the fourth son, "Scurvy?"

"Yeah." The fourth son felt that Yin Hou looked more and more like Zhan Zhao in some places, so he was very kind, so he replied, "Just now, Meow Miao and I met a man who died of scurvy on the mountain."

Yin Hou frowned, flipping through other books, "A ship from the sea?"

"People who float in the water for too long will get this disease."

At this time, Xiaoyu, who was passing by with a fruit plate, saw an old man and a young man sitting at the table chatting, so she went over to deliver a bunch of fruit.Bao Zheng explained before that both Yin Hou and Bai Xia are guests and they should be treated well.

Yin Hou peeled an orange for the fourth son, and asked, "Is this disease curable?"

"It would be nice to eat more oranges and grapefruits." Xiao Sizi said with a smile, "Many people who have been at sea for a long time, such as ships that transport porcelain and silk for sale, will put baskets of oranges and grapefruits on them. .”

Yin Hou sighed softly, thoughtfully, "It floated from the sea...so that's how it is."

"Little four."

The fourth son and Yin Hou were talking, Yue Yang ran in, "Mr. Gongsun asked me to see if you found the book."

"Found it." The fourth son handed the book to Yue Yang.

Yue Yang and Yin Hou met face to face, Yue Yang saluted Yin Hou, "Senior."

Yin Hou looked at him and nodded slightly.

Yue Yang took the book and left, the fourth son swayed his legs and turned his head to look at Yin Hou, and saw Yin Hou staring at the back of Yue Yang walking out, as if in a daze.

"This expression is also the same as Miaomiao." The fourth son jumped off the stool, stretched out a finger, and pressed the two shallow wrinkles between Yin Hou's eyebrows, "Baibai always gives meow Meow, knead, knead, and knead."

"Oh?" Yin Hou laughed heartily, "Would you rub it like this?"

"Yeah!" The fourth son nodded, "White will also wrinkle himself, and then I will rub it with meow."

Yin Hou stretched out his hand to touch his head, "Little Si, are you bored in Kaifeng mansion?"

"It's boring, but it's not boring. There are all kinds of strange cases in Kaifeng Mansion every day." The fourth son patted Shitou on the head, "I want to learn art in the morning, practice kung fu with Xiao Liangzi in the afternoon, and go to see Xiao Baozi's trial before dinner, or go to court with Xiao Liangzi." Xiaopang and Xiaomantou went out for a stroll. After dinner, it was more fun. Everyone was chatting in the yard after work, and many people were very lively.

"Oh... Kaifeng mansion is such a life." Yin Hou nodded, and then he followed the fourth son to the front compound.At the door of Wu Zuo's room, Zhan Zhao and the others were gathered together, Gongsun was flipping through the book, and everyone seemed to be comparing something.

The fourth son ran over and got close to Gongsun.

Gongsun pinched him, "It will take a long time to get a book?"

"Shall I chat with Grandpa Meow?" After the fourth son finished speaking, Zhan Zhao wondered, "Grandpa Meow?"

The fourth son turned around...but saw that Yin Hou who had just followed out was gone, "Huh?"

Zhao Pu rubbed his head, "Little Si, are you talking nonsense again in broad daylight?"

"No..." The fourth son really wanted to say that Grandpa Miao was Zhan Zhao's relative, but he remembered that it was a secret, so he swallowed the words and ran to find Xiao Liangzi.

After tossing and tossing for so long, apart from knowing that these dead people all died of scurvy and poisoning at different times, they found nothing.

Seeing that it was already afternoon, Zhan Zhao wanted to find his grandfather for tea, but after searching back and forth, Yin Hou was not there!

Walking out of the courtyard, I happened to meet Bai Yutang who was also looking for someone.

"Mao'er, have you seen my father?" Bai Yutang searched around and found that Bai Xia was gone, so he was a little anxious.His father is no better than others, it is better for others to lose it, and his father still loves to cause trouble.

"Will you go out to drink tea with my grandfather?" Zhan Zhao was worried, if someone saw Bai Yutang's father and Yin Hou eating, drinking and having fun together, he would probably be a target again.

"Maybe he's gone to the boat." Bai Yutang reminded, "Let's look for it."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and the two hurried out.

At this time, in the book market in Beicheng, Kaifeng Prefecture.

Bai Xia saw that Bai Yutang and the others were very busy in the afternoon, so he didn't want to disturb him. He had pocket money from Bai Yutang, so he asked the government officials in Kaifeng where there was a book market. Hearing that there were many places selling books in the north of the city, he ran away by himself. coming.

Strolling all the way to the book market, Bai Xia looked here and there, and finally came to a jade shop.

Bai Xia thought about it, at least buy a meeting gift for Zhan Zhao, and buy one for Yutang by the way, as a sign of engagement.

The shop in Kaifeng Mansion is naturally much more luxurious than other places, Bai Xia went into the shop to have a look and found that Bingyu was very good.He took a fancy to two small and exquisite jade pots.These two jade pots are bigger for snuff and smaller for wine, but they are just right for medicine!The style is also generous, and it should be easy for men to wear it.And this is a rare good ice jade, exquisite and clear, the white jade inside is as white and clean as silk, it is a high-quality product.

Bai Xia pointed at the pair of jade pots, "I want this pair!"

While Bai Xia was pointing at the jade pot, someone beside him pointed and said almost at the same time, "I want a pair!"

Bai Xia raised his head, and the person beside him also raised his head.

Bai Xia saw a man in green shirt about his own age, gentle, handsome and polite.

The man was carrying a bundle in his hand, as if he had just arrived in Kaifeng after driving for a while.Bai Xia secretly thought that this guy is so gentle, so he smiled at him.

The man was very polite and smiled at him too.

The shopkeeper looked left and right, and said with a smile, "My lord, there is only one pair of jade pots, why don't you have one for each of you?"

"That's it..." Bai Xia rubbed his chin in some embarrassment, "I'm giving a pair to the new couple, I need two."

"What a coincidence." The man in the blue shirt on the opposite side also said, "I also gave it to someone for a wedding, but a gentleman has the beauty of an adult, you can buy it."

"No, no, no." Bai Xia quickly waved his hands, "You came here in a hurry, and you bought gifts first without sleeping out. It shows that you attach great importance to that couple, and I can choose another one."

"It's not good, it's good, a gentleman doesn't take people away."

"Okay, okay, just take it as a little bit of my heart."

The two pushed back and forth, the shopkeeper opened his mouth and didn't know what to do, he said that he had seen people rushing to ask for it, but he had never seen people rushing to not want it.

"You two, why don't you look at other things?" The shopkeeper saw that they both seemed to be rich, so he recommended, "There are other styles of ice jade, look, Yu Linglong, Yu Ruyi, etc., the price It's all the same, how beautiful you look."

The man in the green shirt and Bai Xia asked in unison, "How much?"

"Oh, 300 taels of silver each!" The shopkeeper said with a smile, "This is a fair price! It's not a bargain!"

"300 taels, two is 600 taels." The man in green shirt nodded, "It's not expensive, but a gentleman doesn't take what others like."

"Well, it's not expensive." Bai Xia also nodded, "But a gentleman has the beauty of an adult."

So, the two of them gave way one mouthful at a time.

The shopkeeper took out a pair of jade ruyis, a pair of jade snuffs, a pair of jade fan pendants, a pair of jade bi, a pair of jade Linglong... In short, one pair after another, both of them liked the same style, Still pushing back and forth.

In the end, the shopkeeper became furious, "You two have the same aesthetics too! How about this? As for your jade pot, each of you takes one; for the snuff bottle, each of you takes one; for the fan pendant, each of you takes one; for Yulinglong, each of you takes one." take one..."

Bai Xia and the man in green shirt looked at each other, "Is this..."

"It's from the shopkeeper." The man in the green shirt looked at the boss, "A pair is worth 600 taels. What is the so-called pair to be happy? If you only buy one, it's not worth 300 taels."

"Uh, then I'll give you a little cheaper?" The boss pondered for a while, "280 taels?"

"No, it's 20 taels cheaper." The man in the blue shirt waved his hand, "How about I go to another house to see."

"Ai ai!" The shopkeeper thought in his heart that it would be a waste of time to spend a long time going to another house, "250 taels?"

"I bought it as a gift, two hundred and fifty is too unlucky!" Bai Xia smiled, "Cheaper."

"How about 220 taels?" The man in the blue shirt smiled, "Pairs and pairs!"

"Is this..." The shopkeeper pondered, and the 80 taels was reduced. Did he lose a little by selling it?

"It's no loss, shopkeeper." Bai Xia chimed in, "Shall we buy you an extra pair?"

The shopkeeper scratched his head, thinking it was all right.

Bai Xia picked and took two gourds made of ice jade. These gourds had a strange shape, and they were also hanging gourds. They should be able to hold wine inside, which is very unique.

After the two paid the money, they exchanged tacitly.

Bai Xia took two ice jade pots, and the man in green shirt took two ice jade gourds, and smiled at each other.

The shopkeeper patted his head and patted his head—didn't they just buy two pairs?Well, a pair earned 160 taels less!

Bai Xia walked to the door, and the man in the green shirt asked him, "How did you know that I was looking for this pair of ice jade gourds?"

Bai Xia smiled and said, "Your Excellency is a shrewd person at first glance. Seeing that I bought the ice jade pot, he deliberately asked for it, and finally wanted to give it to me. So if you want the ice jade gourd, you are the next best thing. You can bargain, right? ?”

The man in the green shirt smiled and waved his hand, "Haha, I'm sorry, I'm often in the business of jade wares. Is this pair of ice jade pots worth 200 taels each, and 300 taels is too expensive. But this is Kaifeng Prefecture. The shop bullies the customers, I am a foreigner and it is not easy to bargain. Thanks to this brother who understood my idea, he is really a smart man."

"I'm taking the opportunity to bargain with each other. In Xia Baixia, what's your name?"

"Oh, my name is Zhan Tianxing."

"Brother Zhan."

"Brother Bai."

"Go for a drink together?" Bai Xia is good at making friends, seeing what Zhan Tianxing thinks is pleasing to the eye, Zhan Tianxing is also a cheerful person, he happily agrees to have dinner but he wants to treat himself.Bai Xia pulled him and walked towards Taibaiju, "Okay, please treat me this time. Haha, my son is getting married soon, I will treat you to a wedding wine in a few days."

"What a coincidence, my son is getting married soon, and you will come to drink the wedding wine then."

The two talked and laughed and walked forward, feeling a little bit like seeing each other late.But just after turning a corner, a few quacks appeared ahead, blocking the road.He said to Bai Xia, "Bai Xia, our owner has an invitation."

Bai Xia was stunned, "Who is your owner?"

"You will know when you arrive." Those people were a little impatient.

Bai Xia felt inexplicable, "I don't go with people of unknown origin, and I don't have many friends in Kaifeng, so it's okay."

"Wait, I can't help but you don't go!" The Jianghu people are very arrogant.

"It's so presumptuous!" Zhan Tianxing stopped him, "You Jiang Hu people dare to act wildly in Kaifeng, and there is no law left?"

"It has nothing to do with you!" Those gangsters warned Zhan Tianxing, "Don't mind your own business!"

"People in the world are in charge of the affairs of the world, I can report to the officials to arrest you!" Zhan Tianxing stretched out his hand and pointed behind him, "Look, the officers and soldiers are here!"

As soon as the gangsters turned their heads, Zhan Tianxing and Bai Xia turned around and ran tacitly. They rushed out of the road and onto the street, and saw the gate of Kaifeng Mansion in front of them from a distance.

Those gangsters followed closely behind and chased them out.After running a few steps, another group of people rushed out and stopped them.

Seeing that he was surrounded by people, Bai Xia asked Zhan Tianxing, "What should I do?"

Zhan Tianxing looked at the situation and threw the burden on the ground, "There is no other way! We can only use the last resort."

"What trick?" Bai Xia looked at him curiously.

Seeing Zhan Tianxing roll up his sleeves, those Jianghu people thought he was going to do something, so they were all ready to fight.Unexpectedly, Zhan Tianxing raised his hands to his mouth suddenly, and shouted into the distance, "Help! Someone is robbing!"

Bai Xia looked at the sky, the so-called last move turned out to be to call for help...it was realistic, so he called for help together.

Not to mention, after all, it is the main street of Kaifeng Mansion, so the shouting of the two of them is still useful.

Pedestrians on the road stopped to watch one after another, thinking that they dared to rob Kaifeng Mansion in broad daylight?Those Jianghu people also frowned, trying to pull people away.Needless to say, these two people are not good at kung fu, but they are not good at it, and they can't catch them if they hide for a while.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang just went to the pier to look for it, but Yin Hou and Bai Xia were nowhere to be found, so they came to Taibaiju, wondering if they came here for a drink.

As soon as he arrived nearby, he heard someone yelling for help.

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, the voice - familiar!

"Father?" Bai Yutang saw at a glance that Bai Xia and a man in green shirt were surrounded by a group of Jianghu people, and hurried over.

Zhan Zhao also followed.

Bai Xia was about to be dragged away by the sleeves of a gangster, when she saw Bai Yutang, she quickly shouted, "Yutang!"

Bai Yutang stepped forward and kicked those Jianghu people away, and pulled Bai Xia over, "Father, are you alright?"

"No." Bai Xia shook his head, pointed at those Jianghu people, "These people must have no good intentions to arrest me by name."

Behind him, Zhan Tianxing suddenly touched his chin, "Yutang? If the surname is Bai..."

At this time, Zhan Zhao also ran up, and kicked the acupoints of those who were about to run, and kicked them to the ground. When he looked up and saw Zhan Tianxing beside Bai Xia, he was startled, "Father?"

Both Bai Yutang and Bai Xia were taken aback, they looked at Zhan Tianxing and Zhan Zhao together.

"Zhao!" Zhan Tianxing saw his son, reached out to pick up the bag and ran over, "Don't you say that the law and order in Kaifeng is very good? Why are you blocking the road and robbing?"

"The last few days have been chaotic." Zhan Zhao prevaricated, "Why did you come here?"

"Oh, I heard people said that you were going to get married, so I wanted to come to Kaifeng to have a look, but your mother refused to let me come, so I sneaked here." Zhan Tianxing said, and asked with a smile, "My future daughter-in-law Where is it?"

Zhan Zhao pointed at Bai Yutang.

Zhan Tianxing looked at Bai Yutang, smiled and said, "Oh, he's really tall..."

Bai Yutang's heart skipped a beat - daughter-in-law?

After Zhan Tianxing looked at Bai Yutang, he asked Zhan Zhao in a low voice, "Father's eyes are not very good, why does my daughter-in-law look like a man?"

Zhan Zhao looked up to the sky, Gan Qing's father ran over excitedly without even knowing whether Bai Yutang was a man or a woman.

"Cough." Zhan Zhao whispered, "He is a man."

=0=Zhan Tianxing opened his mouth wide in an instant, dumbfounded.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly. So far, his marriage with Zhan Zhao has not been opposed by others, but Zhan Zhao's father, who seems very upright, will he be very stubborn?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhan Tianxing pulled Zhan Zhao aside, and asked again, "A man?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Yes, man!"

Zhan Tianxing's expression changed instantly, he looked at Zhan Zhao with a straight face, "Zhao, this is your fault!"

Bai Xia frowned slightly, and poked Zhan Tianxing, "Oh, Brother Zhan, do you have any objections to the marriage?"

"Of course I have an opinion!" Zhan Tianxing grabbed Zhan Zhao's wrist, "You are such a serious child. It's a good thing I didn't write invitations, otherwise I would have to change hundreds of them!"

Both Bai Yutang and Bai Xia stood there in a daze—an invitation?

Zhan Zhao originally thought he was going to be scolded, but after hearing this, it seemed that his father didn't object?

Bai Xia patted Zhan Tianxing, "Change the invitation?"

"Isn't that right? My family has many relatives and friends. Think about it. I wrote hundreds of invitations at once, "Female, Bai Yutang". If I want to change it back to "Male, Bai Yutang", how much work will it take? Invitations But I wrote it all myself!" Zhan Tian patted Zhan Zhao, "This kid never understands the point!"

The corners of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's mouths twitched—the so-called important point...what exactly is it? !

"That's right, I didn't think about the invitation card." Bai Xia cupped his hands at Zhan Tianxing, "Brother Zhan looks like a businessman, right? He's so smart and capable."

"Don't dare, I will do some small business in Changzhou Mansion." Zhan Tianxing said with a smile to Bai Xia, "What are you calling Brother Zhan, or in-laws?"

"My in-laws!" Bai Xia naturally called out cheerfully.

Not far away is Taibai Residence, where the two fathers went into the building to discuss the marriage.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

Zhan Zhao folded his arms, "Now it's my mother who is left behind."

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and palmed him, "It's the same with me."

The two dragged those Jianghu people into Taibai's house, threw them to the table and asked who asked them to arrest Baixia.

People in the Jianghu were frightened by Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang, and they all said that a man in black offered money to arrest Bai Xia, but they didn't know who it was.

Zhan Zhao called the yamen servants to take them back, let the shadow guards assist in the interrogation, and then drew shadow pictures to arrest the suspect.

Zhan Tianxing drank a few glasses of wine, walked up to Bai Yutang, and gently tugged at his sleeve.

Bai Yutang looked at him, not knowing how to call him.

Zhan Tianxing handed him two ice jade gourds, and said, "Take it, as a greeting."

Bai Yutang answered with embarrassment on his face, and opened his mouth, not knowing what to call it.

Zhan Tian was having fun, and went back and said to Zhan Zhao, "Zhao, your daughter-in-law, no, you are an honest boy!"

Zhan Zhao suppressed a smile, and after a while, Bai Xia came and stuffed two ice jade pots for him, saying it was a gift for a meeting, and teased Zhan Zhao to call out, Dad, come and listen, but Zhan Zhao couldn't yell out because of embarrassment.

In the end, Bai Xia and Zhan Tianxing stopped the other and scolded their son, why are they so shy? !

After lunch, send the two fathers back to Kaifeng Mansion, let them chat and drink tea together, and save themselves from going out and causing trouble.

The two had similar temperaments and similar interests, and they quickly became acquainted.Zhan Tianxing is one of the most famous merchants in Changzhou Prefecture, he is very good at making money, Bai Xia learned a lot from him.The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, and finally they talked about their own daughter-in-law. When they heard the name of the other's daughter-in-law, they all tried their best to wait for a good show.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang searched for a whole day, but they couldn't find Yin Hou's whereabouts. The people in Tianmo Palace told them not to worry, Yin Hou might have found something so they went to investigate, he never disappeared without a trace.

When the sun went down, the two headed to Kaifeng.

Seeing Zhan Zhao's preoccupation, Bai Yutang comforted him, "Cat, don't worry, your grandfather's kung fu, no one can hurt him."

Zhan Zhao nodded, but still couldn't let go of his heart.

On the way back, he met Mo Qiankun who seemed to be looking for them in a hurry.

"Brother Mo?" Seeing Mo Qiankun's solemn expression, Zhan Zhao guessed something happened.

Mo Qiankun looked around, waved to the two of them, hid in a side alley, and said in a low voice, "You two, be careful."

"What happened?" Bai Yutang asked.

"The death of the four eminent monks in Shaolin and the incident of the blood demon gallbladder seem to be making a big fuss, and now the martial arts people all over the world are ready to move." Mo Qiankun told the two, "After all, Kaifeng is an imperial city and it is not easy to move, so they moved to It’s outside the city, and the martial arts conference will still be held in Tianya Valley, this time it’s not the rising stars of the four major sects, all the major sects in the rivers and lakes have their masters, and then both black and white respected teachers and saints will be present.”

"What are they going to do?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "The case hasn't been solved yet."

Mo Qiankun frowned and shook his head, "That old boy Xue Tianying, and Xie Baihua and the others said that they had mastered some shocking secrets of martial arts and wanted to make them public. They also said that there is evidence to prove that the Tianmo Palace really intends to come back out of the arena to endanger the martial arts, and wants decent martial arts people One to eradicate the Heavenly Demon Palace. In addition, the gangs of righteousness and evil in Jianghu have been affected by the Shaolin eminent monks and the incident of intimidating the Heavenly Demon Palace.

"So they want to have another battle between good and evil, and elect a leader or something?" Bai Yutang asked coldly.

"they
