treacherous world

"Ah..."

In the post station in the suburbs of Kaifeng, Zhan Zhao, who had traveled a long distance from the border back to Kaifeng, sneezed three times as soon as he sat down.

Bai Yutang put down the knife and sat beside him, reached out to touch his forehead, frowned, "I'm sick."

What Bai Yutang said wasn't to ask a question or to be surprised, but to tell Zhan Zhao with certainty that he was sick!

Bai Yutang beckoned to the clerk, asking for a pot of hot tea, while looking at Zhan Zhao's slightly red face, this cat really deserved to be born in the south of the Yangtze River, and it would get sick from the cold.

As for how Zhan Zhao fell ill, it happened a few days ago.

When he first arrived in Heifeng City, the cat knew how to run in and out wearing a strip of leather, but after Bao Zheng arranged for them to go back to Kaifeng first, Zhan Zhao became more energetic, and felt that he didn’t need to wear any heavy clothes when he left Heifeng City. Lao Shizi's fur was gone, and he ran in and out in plain clothes.Bai Yutang persuaded him to wear more clothes, but the cat still curled its lips in a high-flying way—it won't get sick!

Bai Yutang's true qi was trained in the cold, and it's always cold on weekdays, so it doesn't matter if it's colder, and he also knows that he needs to add some clothes when it's cold.What Zhan Zhao practiced was the true qi that was partial to the sun, and when he raised his inner energy, he would get hot, but in fact his body was still cold, but he didn't know how to put on clothes in time, as it was easy to freeze.The weather in Kaifeng Prefecture is pleasant, but it's better. From Border Gate to Kaifeng, the climate has changed greatly, and I feel a little uncomfortable in the past two days.In addition, Zhan Zhao was always worried about Zhan Hao when he was in Chengdu Mansion before, so he was generally tired.

"Yeah." Zhan Zhao sat at the table listlessly, resting his chin in both hands, watching the hot tea brought by the waiter, frowning.He was sleepy, and his mouth was bitter, and when he saw the hot tea tasted more bitter, Bai Yutang asked him if he was hungry, but he didn't want to eat anything either.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao as if he was going to be seriously ill, so he thought about it—it was getting late now, and the clouds were overcast above his head, maybe it would rain soon.It's almost half a day's journey from here to Feng.That is to say, they drove all night, and they would not be able to return to Kaifeng until tomorrow morning.However, there are official roads and barren hills ahead, and there are no villages or shops in the front, so it is better to go back, find an inn, let Zhan Zhao rest for a night, take some medicine, hire a carriage and go on the road tomorrow morning, it is safer.

Just as Bai Yutang was thinking about it, Zhan Zhao had already sipped his tea with the tea bowl in his hand, raised his face and asked him, "Shall we continue on our way? It would be nice to go back to Kaifeng and drink a bowl of ginger soup."

Bai Yutang frowned, "Can you survive? You still have to spend the night!"

Zhan Zhao waved his hands lazily, "It's not that serious, besides Duoduo is running, I'd rather sleep on its back overnight."

Bai Yutang always felt something was wrong, so he raised his head and asked the waiter, "Is there any ginger soup?"

The waiter was quite embarrassed, "Guest officer, I can cook it, but I have to wait for a long time to cook it after buying ginger. It's getting dark, and I want to close the shop and go back. My family is still waiting."

Zhan Zhao tugged at Bai Yutang's sleeve, "Oh, why are you so delicate?"

"What about the carriage?" Bai Yutang didn't give up, and asked the clerk at the post station, "Do you have a carriage here?"

The clerk scratched his head even more, "Guest officer, there are some horses, and you can get them by yourself if you change them at the post station. Is there a carriage...no."

Zhan Zhao said to the clerk, "Just give Baoliang steamed buns a pot of wine."

Bai Yutang frowned, Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to rub the center of his brow, "Don't you always say that I frown, you come too."

"Cat..." Bai Yutang was worried about Zhan Zhao's body, but this cat was stubborn.

After a while, the man brought wine and steamed buns, and brought two bamboo hats for the two, "It looks like it's going to rain today, you two are leaving wearing bamboo hats."

Bai Yutang took the hat, and the clerk looked down at Zhan Zhao's expression, "It looks really sick, you guys have to rush to Kaifeng overnight? Why don't you wait until tomorrow morning?"

Just as Bai Yutang wanted to persuade Zhan Zhao again, Zhan Zhao stood up, got on his horse, and hooked his fingers at Bai Yutang, "Hurry up, hurry up."

The same goes for Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao, who has deep internal strength and is in good health on weekdays. He is a person who does not suffer from typhoid fever once a year or so. This cat feels that he has the capital to live in a daze all day long.In fact, according to Gongsun's words, the more healthy a person is, the more troublesome he is once he gets sick.

"Are you okay?" Bai Yutang also got on his horse and asked him worriedly.

Zhan Zhao blinked, "Dizziness is actually quite comfortable..."

Bai Yutang was completely speechless, thinking he should go back to town, but Zhan Zhao had already kicked Duoduo, "Duoduo, let's go back."

Zao Duoduo spread his hooves and galloped forward, and Bai Yunfan naturally followed, so Bai Yutang had no choice but to pray that it would not rain for a while.

But as the saying goes, what to be afraid of, after a while, the sky was getting darker and darker, and there was some moisture in the wind, Bai Yutang looked up and thought it was impossible--this is usually fine, but now it is so cold, Zhan Zhao is still alive If you get sick, what should you do if you get caught in the rain and get sick?

"Cat!" Bai Yutang grabbed Zao Duoduo's horse by the reins.

Zhan Zhao was still a little dissatisfied, feeling that Bai Yutang was a little overprotective, he was so good at kung fu, wouldn't he just suffer from typhoid, and he would be fine.Drink a bowl of ginger soup and sleep and it's over, don't delay the serious business, squint your eyes and look at Bai Yutang.

At the same time Zhan Zhao stopped, heavy raindrops began to fall, and it became more and more dense.

Bai Yunfan tossed his mane and turned to look at Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, which meant to ask—are you still on your way?

Bai Yunfan, Zao Duoduo, and Hei Xiao are three personalities, and Bai Yunfan and Hei Xiao don't like water.Because Hei Xiao was born in the northwest, he is not afraid of the cold or dry, but the wet.Bai Yunfan's temperament follows Bai Yutang's, and he likes to be clean, and is most afraid of the sticky and wet environment.As for Jujube, he has a lively personality and loves to play with water. In summer, his favorite thing to do every day is to take a bath, and he also likes to throw water all over his body.Seeing that it was raining, it was still walking in the rain, while shaking Zhan Zhao on its back, as if asking——shall we continue walking?

But as soon as it flickered, it felt like Zhan Zhao wasn't sitting firmly on his back?Afterwards, he also noticed that something was wrong, and at the same time he turned his head, he saw Zhan Zhao's body tilted...

Bai Yutang hurriedly picked it up, and Zhan Daxia was embarrassed for a while, because of the high fever, he passed out.

Bai Yutang was in a panic now, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, there was no village, no shop, no place to shelter from the rain, what should I do?

Taking off his outer robe and putting it on Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang looked around for ideas.

At this time, Zao Duoduo yelled a few times towards the top of the hillside, and while running halfway up the hillside, he flicked his mane at Bai Yutang.

Zao Duoduo has been in and out of Kaifeng Mansion with Zhan Zhao for many years, this road can come and go freely without people, so he probably knows the situation on the mountain.Bai Yutang looked up, and sure enough - there was a ruined temple on the mountainside.Obviously, there seemed to be some people sheltering from the rain in the ruined temple, because there was a carriage parked at the door.

Bai Yutang's heart moved, maybe he could discuss it with the people there, bought a carriage, and sent Zhan Zhao to Kaifeng.

It was not easy to ride a horse with Zhan Zhao, so Bai Yutang simply hugged him and jumped up, using his lightness kung fu to "float" up the mountain like a ghostly shadow, followed by Zao Duoduo and Bai Yunfan, up the mountain together.

At this time, in the ruined temple on the mountain, there were indeed people taking shelter from the rain.There were four people in the temple, and two bonfires were lit.

One was a great monk, wearing a gray robe.The monk was not very old, he seemed to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he looked pretty good, with fair skin and a burden on his shoulders, sitting cross-legged by the campfire and meditating with his eyes closed.

He was the first to arrive at the ruined temple, and he came on foot without riding a horse.

The other three came by carriage, two men and one woman.The two men, one in black and the other in blue, are both in their 20s.

The hair in the black guy is short and hard, looking at the face, the facial features are very good, but a little cynical and casual, the corners of the mouth are a little crooked, there is no serious look, and it looks casual and airy.This person was tall and thin, sitting cross-legged, holding a branch with his cheek in one hand and fiddled with the campfire while yawning lazily.

The other man was the opposite of him. He was gentle and upright. He was about the same age and figure as him. He was wearing a blue and decent robe, covered with a green gauze and a jade silk around his waist.This person's face is like a crown jade, and he is very upright, with a beautiful long sword in his hand, and the ornaments all over his body are also exquisite and expensive, he should be some decent young master.

Across from the two sat a young woman.The girl was eighteen or nineteen years old, she was sitting on a futon in the temple with her legs curled up, wearing a goose-yellow dress, she looked elegant and wealthy just like the noble man.This girl is not very good-looking, with a round face and big eyes, a slightly flattened nose, and a small mouth, she looks quite playful and cute. She has a different style, but she cannot be regarded as a great beauty.

She was holding a branch in her hand and gesticulating, as if thinking about some sword moves. She also had a white dagger in her hand, and she was talking to the noble young master, "Second Senior Brother, I heard that Master Liu was a master in the martial arts. Why did you come to Kaifeng Mansion to do business and quit the Jianghu?"

The noble second senior brother hadn't opened his mouth to speak yet, when the airy black-robed man interjected, "Your Uncle Liu is drinking tea in Wulin? Are you doing tea business now?"

The girl raised her eyebrows, and gave him a disdainful look, "What do you know, you are mastering the martial arts, why do you eat tea!" She glanced at her senior brother with some dissatisfaction, and muttered in a low voice, "Master, really, why did you let me If we take this kind of people with us, we don’t understand anything, and we will lose face to the Tianshan faction.”

The noble young master frowned, "Yuqing, don't be rude, master said it, you have to respect young master Cen."

While talking, Mr. Cen in black suddenly looked outside the temple gate. At the same time, the monk who had been meditating inside the temple also opened his eyes and looked in the direction outside the temple gate.

The girl named Yuqing also heard the sound of horseshoes at the foot of the mountain, and wondered if someone went up the mountain to avoid the rain again?It was the first time for her to travel far away, and everything she saw was new, so she hurriedly looked back.

Just as she turned her head, she felt a gust of wind messing up her hair. She quickly reached out to touch her hair, and when she raised her eyes, she was startled.

I saw that there was one more person in the temple...to be exact, two people.

On the open space in the temple, a man in white came in at some point.

When everyone glanced at it, they were secretly startled, and three words popped out of their heads at the same time—beautiful man!

The man in white who came in was naturally Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang didn't look at others when he entered the temple, and with a single hand he pulled out his bag and shook out the white fur cloak he had put away earlier.Spreading the cloak on the ground, he gently put Zhan Zhao on it.Seeing that Zhan Zhao's eyebrows were slightly frowned, his eyes were tightly closed, and his mouth was also closed, Bai Yutang knew that the cat had some kind of emergency, and he was also a little troubled - he should be forced to go back to the inn to sleep just now.

Reaching out his hand to lightly press his forehead, Bai Yutang was startled, his hand was hot!

The four people in the temple saw that the man in white moved swiftly and gracefully. Judging from the lightness kung fu he had just entered the temple without anyone noticing, he was definitely a master of decision making.At this time, his hair was slightly wet, and there were some drops of water on his long black hair, which slipped from his shoulders. He was dressed in an elegant white dress with a silver thread trim, with beautiful rivers and mountains hidden in it, which was not an ordinary expensive material.It's just that this person sees a person wrapped in a silver-white robe in front of him, who seems to be in a coma, and can't see anything else.Standing tall and proud in plain white, but also giving off a cold feeling, he knelt on one knee and half-kneeled beside the man to check his condition, his eyes were full of piety and worry... even a blind person could tell that the one with his arms was his lover!

When everyone was in a trance, they heard two loud neighing sounds from the door, and subconsciously looked outside the temple gate, only to see two fine horses, one white and one red, approaching the temple gate.

The mane of the white horse was blown up, shining like a jade lion at night, and the mane of the red horse was turned up when it was wet or dried, and it was glowing red from the inside out, dazzling like a flame.The noble young master couldn't help but admire - what a horse.

Zao Duoduo and Bai Yunfan arrived at the door, hid under the eaves to avoid the rain, shook their mane and looked inside.Duoduo also seemed to know that Zhan Zhao was ill. He still had his luggage and water bag on him, so he ran into the temple and grabbed Bai Yutang's white sleeve with his mouth open.

Bai Yutang raised his face, revealing his face that had been half covered by black hair just now, several people in the temple took a deep breath and praised him for his good looks.

The Mr. Cen in black touched his chin thoughtfully, with a faint smile on his lips.

The girl named Yuqing blushed a little unconsciously, lowered her head, and saw Mr. Cen looking at her with a half-smile with the corner of his mouth raised, and blushed even more, so she quickly gave him a look.

After Zao Duoduo bit Bai Yutang's sleeve, he lowered his head and rubbed Zhan Zhao's belt.

Bai Yutang immediately remembered that before leaving Black Wind City, Gongsun gave them some medicine, saying that it would be used in an emergency on the way. He reached out and groped for it, took out a white jade medicine bottle, opened it and smelled it, there was a faint smell of ginseng, and said Maybe it's useful?

Poured out two pills and put them into Jinzhao's mouth, Bai Yutang took the water bag from Zao Duoduo's saddle, took a sip himself, bowed his head... resting Zhao's neck lightly with one hand, pressing his chin lightly with the other, Feed him water with his mouth and slide the pill down.

This movement caused all three people present except the man in black to lower their heads subconsciously.

The monk slapped his head and quickly closed his eyes.

The second young master seemed to have the same expression, he looked away as if he was thinking.

The girl was surprised—the person who was carried up by the man in white turned out to be a man!I can't see his face very clearly, only vaguely see a nice nose, the man in white seems to be deliberately blocking it so that everyone can see clearly.

Zao Duoduo saw that Zhan Zhao had taken the medicine, and ran to the door to hide from the rain with Bai Yunfan. The two horses stood under the eaves, bumping their heads together from time to time, as if they were communicating with each other, only they understood.

Bai Yutang pulled out another piece of clothing from his bundle and covered Zhan Zhao with it, grabbed his wrist, and sat beside him with his robe lifted, as if he was feeling his pulse, but in fact he was giving him some internal energy, he dared not Give him a lot, because there is a big difference between internal strength and Zhan Zhao, and I am afraid that things will turn against each other at extremes, so I just help him to hold on and see if Zhan Zhao can wake up.He just thought that the rain would stop soon, and then rushed back to Kaifeng with the cat in his arms, to find a doctor to see a doctor.

"Booming" thunder came, heavy rain "crashed", and the sky was completely dark.

No one in the temple spoke, the monk continued to meditate with his eyes closed, the nobleman folded his arms, lowered his head and closed his eyes, as if he was resting his mind, only the girl didn't seem to be sleepy, looking around, doing nothing, the man in black was twitching his mouth Continue to fiddle with the bonfire.

After a while, the rain showed no sign of stopping.Seeing that Zhan Zhao was breathing evenly, the creases between his brows were opened, and his face was not as flushed as before, Bai Yutang reached out and touched his forehead... The medicine given by Gongsun was strong, and it seemed to be suppressed.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Bai Yutang leaned against a large temple pillar behind him, quietly waiting for the rain to stop.

After an unknown amount of time, the man in black suddenly asked the girl, "Oh, is there anything to eat? I'm starving to death."

"Oh." The girl stood up, "there is dry food in the carriage." After finishing speaking, she ran back to the carriage to get it, without the disdain and arrogance just now.The man in black smiled a little funny, and subconsciously glanced at Bai Yutang.

But Bai Yutang just sat there quietly all the time, seemed to be looking at Zhan Zhao, and seemed to be in a daze.

As soon as they spoke, the monk opened his eyes, and the second senior brother also looked up, and he looked at the man in black, "Brother Cen, are you familiar with Uncle Lu?"

"Huh?" The man in black smiled indifferently and shrugged, "It's so-so."

At this time, the girl named Yuqing came back, took a bag of dry food, and handed it to the man in black, "Eat it."

The man in black looked into the bag and laughed, "So polite? Why are you suddenly a lady?"

The girl glared at him and muttered, "Forget it if you don't eat!" After finishing speaking, she handed it to her senior brother.The second senior brother waved his hand, and the man in black hurriedly reached out and took a bun to eat, then turned his head and asked the monk, "Master, do you want something to eat?"

The monk shook his head and smiled politely, "Thank you for the benefactor, the poor monk is not hungry."

After finishing speaking, the man in black looked at Bai Yutang again, "What about you?"

Bai Yutang didn't reply, but just looked down at Zhan Zhao... because Zhan Zhao suddenly moved slightly.

Bai Yutang hesitated for a moment, but reached out and pressed Zhan Zhao's person.

"Hiss..." Zhan Zhao shuddered in pain, opened his eyes, and eye-to-eye with Bai Yutang for a long time... Zhan Guard blinked, stretched out his hand to pinch Bai Yutang's nose, "You have such a weird expression."

Except for Bai Yutang, everyone present was amazed.At first, they thought that the man in white was naturally cruel, and always felt that he was not close to strangers like ice, with no temperature at all, and a little evil.

It's just that Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to pinch his nose, and Bai Yutang's eyebrows also relaxed. He stretched out his hand to helplessly remove the cat's paw, lowered his head to touch his forehead, and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Uh..." Zhan Zhao felt that his throat was sore, his nose was blocked, and his head was a little dizzy. He realized that he might be really sick.Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao blushed, and said in his heart - isn't it? !He, the dignified Nan Xia Zhan Zhao, fell ill due to typhoid fever, and even fainted!No more face!Still in front of this mouse, how can I mess around in the future.He also wondered, when he was alone, he could handle any illness, why did he faint when he was beside Bai Yutang?

"Is it cold?" Bai Yutang just asked him.

"It's not cold." Zhan Zhao wanted to sit up and take a look around. There seemed to be people around.

Bai Yutang held him down, and said lightly, "Go on to sleep." A feeling that cannot be resisted.

Zhan Zhao pouted, knowing that the mouse might have turned his back on him, and he felt that he couldn't hold on, so he turned over and fell asleep while clutching one of Bai Yutang's sleeves, and asked, "Is it the Guanyin Temple in Wulipo, west of Yunzhou City? "

Bai Yutang subconsciously glanced at the direction of the niche, and saw that there was a Guanyin standing there, so he nodded, "Yeah."

"Do you know how this temple came here?" Zhan Zhao seemed to have woken up just now, or Gongsun's medicine had taken effect, and he was in a good mood, as if he wanted to chat with Bai Yutang for a while.

Bai Yutang pressed his chin helplessly, and sent him a word, "Sleep!"

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, but he knew Bai Yutang well, and when the mouse started to speak single words, it was best not to provoke him.

So he had no choice but to close his mouth and pinch Bai Yutang's slender fingers, trying his best to sleep for a while.

The sound of the rain gradually became quieter, and the surroundings became quiet again, until around midnight, the bonfire in front of the monk was extinguished, only the bonfire repeatedly fiddled by the man in black, and the faint flame.

In this quiet midnight, suddenly...the sound of horseshoes came from outside.

It seems that another group of people is coming up the mountain.Bai Yutang frowned slightly when he heard the sound of the horse's hooves and the sound of unsteady footsteps - it seemed that someone was chasing someone.

As soon as Zhan Zhao fell asleep, his illness seemed to be recurring again. Bai Yutang felt that his fever had risen a little, so it was really a symptom, not a root cause.Distraught, all he wanted was for someone to wake him up.

Other people in the temple also woke up, the monk lit the bonfire in front of him, and at the same time as the temple lit up, a person rushed into the lobby and closed the dilapidated temple door with a bang.

Running up was a woman, in her 30s, not very young but very beautiful, wearing a red dress, holding a sword in one hand and covering her shoulders with the other, half of her hair and clothes were wet, there was a bloody cut on her shoulder, half of her clothes They were also stained crimson with blood.

After she closed the temple door, she was also surprised to see someone in the temple, but she was about to go to the back door of the temple soon, but she seemed to have lost too much blood, and when she ran behind the man in black and at Zhan Zhao's feet, her legs suddenly went weak , fell to the ground.

Yuqing stood up, "Oh, are you okay?"

At this time, the sound of the horse team outside also arrived, and the woman didn't have time to escape, so she quickly hid behind the Bodhisattva statue.There were bloodstains on the ground.

At the same time, the temple gate was kicked open with a "bang".

A group of men of different ages walked in. The leader was a man in his 30s with a very burly beard, holding a big knife in his hand, followed by a dozen or so thugs, all holding swords, entering the house Just looking around, he stretched out his hand and pointed at everyone, "Are you all friends with that demon girl?"

The monk said softly, "Amitabha."

The big man with a big knife looked at the people in the ruined temple, and yelled, "Did you see a red-clothed witch running in?"

The girl named Yuqing seemed to have an aggressive temper, and she muttered to herself, "There are so many big men, and there is no shame in chasing a girl."

"What did you say?!" The big man glared at her viciously, "Sure enough, it's that demon girl accomplice, come on, catch her!"

The girl raised her eyebrows and saw two big men walking towards her, but without drawing her sword, she slapped the branch twice to block the two thugs, "Who are you? No?"

"Bah!" The big man spat, "That demon girl was imprisoned by the imperial court, you guys protect her, be careful of the crime of beheading her."

The big man also had a loud voice, and Bai Yutang saw Zhan Zhao frowning and moving, as if he was about to be woken up very uncomfortable, and his face darkened involuntarily—very annoying.

At this moment, the big man caught sight of Zhan Zhao lying beside Bai Yutang.At this time, Zhan Zhao was covered with thick clothes, he couldn't see his face, and there was blood on his feet, so he pointed out, "Who is that person? Pull off the clothes and I'll see if it's that witch!"

Bai Yutang raised his head and met his eyes. The big man was taken aback. Firstly, Bai Yutang's eyes were cold, and secondly...why is this man so good-looking?

Miss Yuqing frowned and helped to speak, "That's a man, he's sick, don't bother him!"

"I don't care if he's sick or dead..." He didn't say the word dead, but suddenly he felt a slap on the face, turned around three times on the spot and sat on the ground, covering his face in disbelief and looking up. Eyes—who hit me?

His subordinates were also puzzled, the man in black and the second senior brother looked at Bai Yutang in surprise.

Bai Yutang looked at the big man, "Get out."

"Okay, how dare you harbor criminals..." The big man just got up, and was about to tell the people behind him to rush up, when Zhan Zhao, who was lying down, raised his leg and kicked him out of the temple gate.Bai Yutang lowered his head, Zhan Zhao covered his ears and stuck his head in his waist, rubbing depressedly, while muttering, "It's so noisy."

Bai Yutang is also helpless, Zhan Zhao usually has a mild temper, but he is so angry when he wakes up, so don't disturb him to sleep, because he has a bad temper when he is woken up.People in Kaifeng Mansion usually ask him to get up to lure him with food, but they have no choice but to shout through the door, it is too dangerous to approach directly, and the cat will lose control easily if he is sleepy and confused.

The big man was really kicked by Zhan Zhao's kick. When he fell to the ground, he felt that his tailbone must have been broken. He covered his chest in pain, and shouted to the people behind him, "Quick! Tell the general that the general is here." What! Some people here are harboring that banshee, arresting and beating people."

Zhan Zhao also woke up at this time, dizzy and very uncomfortable, Bai Yutang rubbed his temples for him, "Take some more medicine?"

At this time, there was a louder sound of horseshoes at the door, and it was obvious that a large number of people had arrived.The big man turned his head and immediately led a group of people to kneel down to salute, "General..."

At this time, a young man came in from the outside, about 24 or [-] years old, waved his hand to stop the big man from speaking, and began to look around.

This man was wearing a maroon brocade robe, very noble, Bai Yutang recognized the pattern of this robe, Zhao Pu would wear similar clothes on occasions when he attended formal occasions, this was the official uniform of the generals of the Song Dynasty.Of course, Zhao Pu's is black, and the nine golden dragons on it are more domineering, belonging to the marshal's robe.This man's clothes are embroidered with patterns like pheasants, right?Bai Yutang didn't know what official rank it was.

Looking closely at this person's appearance, it can be regarded as a superior appearance, with regular facial features, neither obtrusive nor flat, but if you want to say that he has many characteristics, he looks gentle and gentle.It's just that I can vaguely feel that the eyes are a little gloomy.

"Jiang Hongyue, come out." The man spoke in a low voice, neither fast nor slow, "There's no need to hide."

When everyone was wondering who Jiang Hongyue was, Zhan Zhao suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, scratched his head and asked, "Xijiang Hongyue Jiang Hongyue?"

Bai Yutang has been walking the rivers and lakes for some years, and it was the first time he heard the name Xijiang Hongyue Jiang Hongyue, and he was a little puzzled, so he asked Zhan Zhao, "Do you know him?"

"Yeah!" Zhan Zhao nodded, and answered Bai Yutang half asleep, "Isn't there a Xijiang Hongyue Tea House in Kaifeng? The ice skin dim sum there is very famous. Didn't you order her ice skin ham during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Moon cakes? It’s the one that the fourth son loves the most.”

Bai Yutang stared at Zhan Zhao for a long time, "So Jiang Hongyue is a cook?"

"En!" Zhan Zhao nodded seriously, "Cook!"

Bai Yutang raised his forehead, and sure enough... the cat knows all the cooks in Kaifeng Mansion!

Zhan Zhao didn't care about being sick, so he stood up and asked, "Why did she become a court official?"

"Bold!"

An attendant next to the "general" glared at Zhan Zhao, "Don't be rude to the general..."

Before he finished speaking, the general waved his hand to stop him, and looked at Zhan Zhao.Although Zhan Zhao looked a little sick and tired at this time, but this person had an outstanding appearance and a special bearing, absolutely extraordinary.Coupled with Bai Yutang beside him, the two of them looked like dragons and phoenixes.

At this time, the woman in red who was hiding behind the Bodhisattva also heard the movement, poked her head out and saw Zhan Zhao, and was pleasantly surprised, "Master Zhan! I was wronged!"

The general was slightly taken aback, and said to himself, "Lord Zhan?"

Seeing her pale face and blood on the ground, Zhan Zhao couldn't help frowning, "Master Jiang, why are you injured?"

"I was injured by them..."

Before Jiang Hongyue could finish speaking, the general suddenly asked, "Master Zhan... Could it be that Your Excellency is also an official in Kaifeng?"

Zhan Zhao looked back at him, "My lord, Zhan Zhao, which general are you?"

"Oh?" The general had a look of surprise and joy on his face, "Your Excellency is Yumao Zhanzhao. Xiao Wang has admired him for a long time, and this time I can see him when I come back!"

Several other Jianghu people present also looked at Zhan Zhao with some surprise. This person is very famous, but he never thought that he would be so young.No need to ask, the man in white with a close relationship, a cold personality, and an outstanding appearance beside him is of course Chinchilla Bai Yutang!

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's hearts skipped a beat—Xiao Wang?There are two princes in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Pu and Ba Xianwang, how come another prince came out?

Zhan Zhao arched his hands at him, "Who is your lord?"

"Oh, what a coincidence, I always hear my father mention Brother Zhan." The man smiled more kindly, "My father said that you will come back soon with Master Bao and Uncle Jiu, and I am looking forward to it every day."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both had some ideas in their minds, Uncle Nine, could this person be...

"Oh, you see I talk a lot." The man smiled and cupped his fists at Zhan Zhao, "I'm Zhao Cong! I've admired brother Zhan's name for a long time." As he spoke, he looked at Bai Yutang, "Could this be..."

Bai Yutang saw that this person was talking with a smile, and Bai Yutang hated the person who laughed first.

Basically, Bai Yutang's friends don't like to laugh except Zhan Zhao.Zhao Pu doesn't like to laugh, and even talks less and is difficult to get along with.Gongsun doesn't like to laugh either.

Originally, Bai Yutang always thought that he just simply hated people who liked to laugh, but later he found out that it wasn't...he liked Zhan Zhao's smile very much.Now I know that the key is not whether you like to laugh or not, but whether there is a need to laugh, whether the smile is genuine or fake.

The smile on Zhao Cong's face was the one Bai Yutang disliked the most, and he was also the last one to deal with such bureaucratic people.

Bai Yutang didn't pay attention to him at first, Zhan Zhao generally understood his temper, but after all, there are many delicate relationships involved here, the key is that they all respect the Eighth Prince, so he nodded instead of Bai Yutang, "He is Bai Yutang, why did the little prince arrest him?" Jiang Hongyue? She's just a cook."

"Brother Zhan." Zhao Cong said, "This woman is suspected of entering the palace to assassinate the emperor. I am about to arrest her and go back for questioning."

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, Jiang Hongyue was making mooncakes in the west of Kaifeng City, how could he have something to do with the assassination in the palace?

"I didn't!" Jiang Hongyue quickly argued, "Master Zhan, I don't know how it got involved here, but I haven't done anything..."

Zhan Zhao nodded lightly, signaling her not to say more.Jiang Hongyue did know some kung fu, but her kung fu was mediocre. According to the information she got before, the assassins who entered the palace to assassinate were very good at kung fu, which was definitely not something she could do.

Zhao Cong is also very good at winking, and smiled at Zhan Zhao, "Master Bao is not in Kaifeng, my father is temporarily acting as governor of Kaifeng, and I will help out, since brother Zhan is back, and I heard that Prime Minister Bao will arrive soon. , then I will leave it alone, and leave this person to Brother Zhan."

Zhan Zhaoxin said that Zhao Cong was more tactful and sophisticated than Zhao Pu, so he nodded to him and said, "Thank you." He turned around to help Jiang Hongyue.

The lieutenants behind Zhao Cong seemed a little hesitant, and Zhao Cong waved his hand to signal—don't talk too much.

The generals retreated outside the door.

Bai Yutang looked secretly, this Zhao Cong is not a complete idiot, at least his subordinates are very obedient, but compared with Zhao Pu, he does seem to lack something.

Jiang Hongyue was seriously injured, and it was only on her chest, and Zhan Zhao couldn't help her. Miss Yuqing suddenly ran over with a clean white cloth bandage in her hand, but it was Bai Yutang who was looking up. "You...you are Bai Yutang?"

Bai Yutang froze for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Yuqing was pleasantly surprised, and waved to the second senior brother and the man in black who were obviously surprised.

The man in black smiled, "Sure enough..."

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, thinking what the hell?

Zhan Zhao also turned his head, really worried that the man in black would say nonsense, "Who is the most handsome man in the world but you", then Bai Yutang would probably turn his back on him.But the man in black shut his mouth tactfully and didn't continue talking.

The second senior brother also came over and bowed respectfully to Bai Yutang, "Shen Boqing and Shen Yuqing, lay disciples of the Tianshan School, have met the respected master uncle."

When Bai Yutang heard this, his head went dizzy. What kind of respect for master and uncle? Has his seniority increased?He didn't know who these two people were, he just cursed secretly that the disciples and grandchildren of the Tianshan Sect liked to accept apprentices too much, so they accepted them as soon as they accepted them, and he told everyone about his relationship with the Tianshan Sect, which made him go away You can meet a few juniors of the same age for no reason anywhere.

Nodding lightly, Bai Yutang didn't say much.

Shen Boqing asked Yuqing to help treat Jiang Hongyue's wound, while looking at Bai Yutang with a strange expression.

Zhan Zhao stood for a while, Bai Yutang helped him to sit back, feeling annoyed, these people are really noisy, can't this cat be allowed to sleep peacefully for a while, sure enough Zhan Zhao won't be at peace once he gets back to Kaifeng, he should go back to town just now Stay in an inn!

Zhao Cong saw that Zhan Zhao seemed unwell, and Bai Yutang's face was stinky, so he asked, "Brother Zhan, isn't he sick?"

Zhan Zhao gave a dry laugh, feeling sad in his heart - Lao Tzu's reputation!

Zhao Cong sent someone to prepare the carriage immediately, brought the imperial doctor along, and prepared to send Zhan Zhao and the others back. He was very attentive.

"When will Uncle Jiu and the others come back?" Zhao Cong asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Is the border gate okay?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "It will be there in three or four days."

Zhao Cong seemed very happy, and then he said "Uncle Nine" and "Zhao Pu" on the left, speaking enthusiastically.

If there hadn't been the past that Ziying and Zheying had told them, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang would have thought that Zhao Cong was just a younger generation who respected Zhao Pu as a god, just like the thousands of young people in the Zhao family army. Same as officers and soldiers.

Bai Yutang wasn't in the mood to deal with Zhao Cong. He glanced at Jiang Hongyue who had bandaged the wound, but noticed a detail.

The little monk who had been meditating in the corner without speaking looked at Zhan Zhao very concernedly, as if he hesitated to speak.When he realized that Bai Yutang was looking at him, he turned his gaze away again.

Bai Yutang frowned, and his eyes fell on the man in black next to Shen Boqing and Shen Yuqing's two brothers and sisters.

The man in black always had an expression that was half a smile but not a smile, and Shen Boqing seemed to have something on his mind. He always felt that although the ruined temple was not big, the people in the temple had their own thoughts.

Bai Yutang stood beside Zhan Zhao, more worried about Zhan Zhao's condition, but at this time... the heavy rain also stopped, and the sound of "squeaky" insects rang out accompanied by the mountain wind.

Zhao Cong got up, and the horse outside
