treacherous world

This Lujiazhuang owner's house is very interesting, the gate cannot be opened, it is said that the Lujiazhuang owner nailed it up, the little girl brought a ladder and asked Zhan Zhao and the others to climb up.

The yard is quite neat and tidy. There is a big gambling table in the middle, made of stone, surrounded by stone stools, and two huge fig trees on both sides, covering the sky and the sun, which is very grand.

There was a man standing under the tree, holding a dice cup in his hand, looking up at the crowd coming down from the wall.

Zhan Zhao and the others were naturally looking at him too.The owner of this Lujiazhuang is not very old, in his twenties, and his appearance is also very outstanding.He looks a bit like a scholar and a bit pissed off, with a grin on his face, showing off his power with a dice cup in his hand, "Who will bet with me?"

Naturally, none of Zhan Zhao and the others would answer the conversation, otherwise wouldn't they just recognize him as Lao Tzu?This person just opens his mouth to take advantage of others, which is really annoying.

The last one to come down from the room was Xiao Sizi, a chubby man holding a ladder to climb down. Gongsun supported his buttocks to prevent him from falling. When the master Lu saw him, he trembled with joy, "Where did the little golden pig come from? You guys?" If you lose, just give him to me, I lack a son."

The corner of Gongsun's mouth twitched, wanting to go up and slap him for daring to snatch his son from him.

The fourth son got off the ground, patted the ashes on his hands and ran to the front to watch the excitement.

The master Lu squatted down and "tsk tsk" twice, hooking him like a cat or a dog, the fourth son's face turned red, he closed his eyes and dared to curse, "I hate you!"

Gongsun held his forehead.

Pang Yu next to him was puzzled, how many people have been killed by Gongsun's venomous fangs and venomous tongue, why is his son so dumb!

Bao Yan dragged the fourth son to hide aside, "Let's ignore him!"

The fourth son pursed his lips, and the master Lu was so happy that Gongsun wanted to give him two silver needles in his dantian!

Zhan Zhao cupped his hands at him, "What's your name?"

"Lu Bubai!"

……

Suddenly, the corner of Bai Yutang's mouth twitched slightly and he looked around, as if he didn't agree.

"Hey, what do you mean by laughing? I really am Lu Bubai."

Gongsun looked at this person and found that he was well dressed, except for the bun on his head, which seemed to be missing something... Now that I think about it, the missing thing is probably a hairpin.

Lu Bubai shook the dice cup rattling, Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, as if asking——Do you really want to play with him here, or just ask straight to the point?

Although Zhan Zhao really wanted to teach this poisonous tongue a lesson, forget it, there are a lot of things to do, if he can successfully ask some secrets from that year, it will save him a lot of trouble.They also want to go to the Jinxia Mantang introduced by Pang Yu, look for the mysterious earth claw civet, and ask the secret of the wooden box.

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao took out a wooden hairpin from his pocket, and showed it to Lu Bubai, "Do you know this hairpin?" , Leng Leng, and then the smile disappeared, looking at everyone in surprise.Afterwards, Lu Bubai made a move that no one expected... and ran away!

When Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao and the two masters understood, Lu Bubai had already entered the room, closed the door and closed the door to see no one.

Everyone didn't understand what kind of situation this was. They were stunned for a while, and the fourth son blinked, "Run away!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hurriedly chased after him, and Pang Yu yelled, "Hey, I said Lu Bubai why did you run away?!"

Sure enough, the door was locked, Bai Yutang kicked it open, Zhan Zhao went into the room to search, but couldn't find Lu Bubai, but the back window was open.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other—they are determined to be suspicious!Running through the back window they must have heard the sound.

Everyone searched for Lu Bubai in the house, and a group of maids and servants gathered around the outer wall of the courtyard to watch the excitement, all whispering to each other.

"Oh, the owner is finally going to be beaten!"

"It's time for someone to teach him a lesson!"

"I've offended someone!"

"Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went around but couldn't find Lu Bubai, and finally found Shi Shi digging a square brick under the table.

Everyone raised their eyebrows, Pang Yu and Bao Yan lightly moved the table away, and then Zhan Zhao clasped the square brick with two fingers to open the hidden basement entrance, and sure enough... Lu Bubai, who was holding his head, was hiding inside.

"Come out." Zhan Zhao hooked his fingers at him.

"I don't!" Lu Bubai curled his lips and continued to squat with his head in his arms.

Bai Yutang frowned, "Ask you something, but don't beat you and scold you, what are you afraid of? Come out!"

"No!" Lu Bubai was still arrogant, "Come down if you have the ability!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned, where is all this?

Zhan Zhao wanted to reach out to grab him, but Bai Yutang stopped him. Bai Yutang waved his hand lightly, signaling that he had a solution.He lowered his head and said to Lu Bubai who was hiding inside, "I bet you dare not come up!"

Lu Bubai was stunned for a moment, then raised his face, "What are you betting on?"

Bai Yutang shrugged, "How about 1000 taels?"

"Okay!" Lu Bubai jumped up, stared and stretched out his hand, "Bring me 1000 taels!"

Zhan Zhao kicked the stone slab and closed the entrance to the basement. Lu Bubai looked down and immediately had a bitter expression.

When he wanted to run again, Pang Yu blocked the door, and Bao Yan and Gongsun came in with the fourth son. Gongsun was puzzled, "We just ask you something, why are you running?"

Lu Bubai glared at Bai Yutang, and stretched out his hand, "You can do it, come on, 1000 taels, accept the bet and admit defeat!"

Zhan Zhao was a little anxious at the side, thinking that Bai Yutang wouldn't really honestly give him 1000 taels, right?Even if you have money, you can’t spend it like this. It’s better to go out and help the poor!

Bai Yutang did not rush, reached for a pen and paper from the table, wrote "1000 taels" and handed it directly to Lu Bubai.

"One..." Lu Bubai stared blankly while holding the piece of paper.

Bai Yutang smiled, "Take your 1000 taels, I didn't say it was 1000 taels of silver, but 1000 taels."

"Pfft..." The servants of Lu Family Manor who had already sneaked to the door and opened the window to eavesdrop, rarely saw Lu Bubai deflated, laughing all the time as if he was overjoyed.

Zhan Zhao saw that this man was so aggressive, so he stopped being polite to him, and took out his badge to show him, "I am Zhan Zhao from Kaifeng Mansion." Then, he introduced several others to him one by one, "I wanted to ask you about the hairpin. You ran away as soon as you saw the hairpin. It seems that you know the origin."

Lu Bubai sat down dejectedly, as if a little frustrated, "Really, you didn't look for my father in the previous generation, but now you come to me. I thought it would at least be the turn of my grandson's grandson, I didn't expect it to happen so soon... I'm going to kill myself!"

Zhan Zhao put the wooden hairpin in front of his eyes, "It's important, you should talk about it."

"Tsk." Lu Bubai said with a bitter face, "My grandfather told me something before he died, about a promise Taizu made with him back then. However, he must not say anything unless it is absolutely necessary and the world is in chaos. Come out." As he spoke, he raised his face to look at the crowd, "The world is peaceful now, and there is no last resort for chaos, right?"

After he finished speaking, the people at the door all looked at each other, Zhan Zhao felt that it was not good to say it here, "Come on, I'll take you back to Kaifeng to meet Master Bao's mansion."

"I'm not going!" Lu Bubai's eyelids twitched, "You can't go to hell if you don't live!"

"Why are you so nervous?" Zhan Zhao frowned, this Lu Bubai was crazy and didn't know what was going on, "Master Bao just asked you a few words casually! I don't want you to be in prison."

"I'm not going, who knows if you will torture me?!"

Zhan Zhao was at a loss for him, turned his head to look at Bai Yutang, as if asking - do you have any tricks to deal with this person?Don't just knock him out.

Bai Yutang thought for a while, "How about asking Lord Bao to order all casinos not to deny you entry?"

All the servants at the door secretly gave their thumbs up, thinking that this handsome man in white clothes is so smart!This trick is definitely the right medicine.

Lu Bu was really useful, he patted his chest and nodded, "Okay!"

Zhan Zhao smiled and shook his head to invite him outside, "Let's go."

When they arrived at the door, the maid Xiaoyu had already prepared the chickens and eggs that Zhan Zhao and the others wanted, loaded them into the car and asked Lu Bubai to drive them to Kaifeng mansion together.

On the way, Zhan Zhao was a little curious about Lu Bubai, "Your real name is really Lu Bubai?"

"No, my name is Lu Sheng. If I read it incorrectly, I call it Lu Sheng. Isn't that just Unbeaten!" Lu Sheng was quite proud, "So I took another name and called it Unbeaten, how auspicious!"

Sitting on the back of the stone, the fourth son watched curiously as the adult spoke. The stone was walking quite quietly, but suddenly...it stopped.At the same time, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also grabbed the horse's reins, and reached out their hands to signal to Pang Yu and Gongsun behind them—don't go anymore, there is a situation.

Lu Sheng looked around, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"You should thank us for coming to you earlier." Bai Yutang said lightly, "Perhaps the person who wants to kill you has already arrived."

Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale, he turned his horse's head and ran away.

"Hey!" Pang Yu grabbed the reins of his horse, "What are you afraid of? Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are here!"

"I'm not afraid of here!" Lu Sheng stomped on the horse stool anxiously, "There are dozens of young maids in my family, and thousands of chickens!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—won't they go to Lujiazhuang to kill people?

But at this time, everyone also had a good impression of Lu Sheng.This person's shamelessness and rogue are just pretending. Seeing his true nature at critical moments, this person has a kind heart.

At this time, Lu Sheng had already pulled off the horse's rein and hurried back, Zhan Zhao and others had no choice but to catch up.When we arrived at the gate of Lujiazhuang, we heard a great commotion in the courtyard, and the chickens were flying like dogs.

The door was opened, and the maid Xiaoyu ran out with a group of rolling pins. When she saw Lu Sheng, she shouted, "Master, someone has broken into the chicken coop!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang wanted to go in and rescue those hired workers of Lu Sheng, but Lu Sheng raised his hand to stop them, "If you cheat into the chicken coop, you'll be fine, just wait."

Sure enough, after a while, the chicken coop calmed down, and the dozens of workers were fine, Lu Sheng smiled at Zhan Zhao proudly, "I installed a mechanism inside, it's amazing..."

Unexpectedly, he didn't say the word "ba", but he felt that he was facing a bad wind.

As soon as Bai Yutang raised his hand, a black jade flying locust stone knocked out a flying knife that had already flown in front of Lu Sheng's eyes and was about to touch the eyebrows.

With a sound of "pop", the dart fell to the ground, and the faint blue light showed that there was poison on the dart... It seemed that someone wanted Lu Sheng's life.

With a wave of Zhan Zhao's hand, Pang Yu took Gongsun Xiaosi and the others to retreat to a corner, hiding behind the carriage, and the gang also took tools to find a safe place to hide.

Zhan Zhao got off his horse, "Come out."

After a while, four black shadows fell in front of them, blocking the way. The men in black each held two scimitars in their hands... These are not common weapons.

"Scimitar Sect?" Zhan Zhao was a little surprised...Scimitar Sect is a very mysterious sect, and the disciples in it basically do some killing activities, and it is a very famous killer organization.However, these people seldom go to the Central Plains, and there are even rumors that the Scimitar Sect is actually a sect from the Western Regions, so they all use scimitars.

The scimitar is one of the more difficult weapons to control among the [-] weapons, but it has a great lethality and a very wide attack range. The basic knife is deadly, and it is proud of it from far and near.

Bai Yutang frowned on the horse, "The people from the Machete Sect, why did you come to kill a chicken farmer?"

"Did the people who followed us ask you to come here?" Zhan Zhao's mind turned very fast, "The group of people who acted just now should be trained soldiers. What kind of government officials are you?"

The men in black didn't answer, looking at them with hollow and murderous eyes, as if they had been trained to be complete killing machines.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't say any more, and exchanged glances - one person and two, catch the living!

At the same time, the four killers jumped up and attacked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang with their knives raised.Bai Yutang draws his saber, Zhan Zhao raises his sword, the two of them fight back and protect the people behind them, soon the two sides hit each other.

For a moment, there was only the flashing light of the knife, and the sound of metal impacting continuously, and it was unclear who hit whom. Pang Yu was so shocked that he wiped his sweat, and the servant girls clapped their hands and applauded.

Lu Sheng was also secretly speechless, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao really deserved their reputation, it seems that things have really come to this point, it is probably the best way to seek refuge with Bao Zheng.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took a little bit of effort to capture those men in black alive. Bai Yutang threw a loud arrow... There are different types of arrows, and this time it was a blue one.Blue means that the danger has been lifted and no support is needed, but people are still needed to help clean or bring something back.So in a short while, many government servants came to Kaifeng Mansion and escorted all the men in black back to the mansion.Zhan Zhao took off the masks of some of them and found that their faces were stiff, and it was impossible to tell if they were foreigners. Could it be that there was something weird about them?

Sending Lu Sheng back to Kaifeng Mansion, by such a coincidence, Mr. Bao happened to go to the palace to do some business, and he hasn't come back yet.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang assigned people to the shadow guards to guard, and Lu Sheng came to play chess with Gongsun. It is said that he also wants to bet on this.

It was still early when Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang met, so they wanted to go out and look for the jewelry box store full of golden glow.Unexpectedly, he arrived at the door of the store with great difficulty, and the manager said that his master had gone out to buy goods, and he might come back in a few days, which made Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang make a trip for nothing.

When walking back, Zhan Zhao wanted to go to the nearby woodware, stoneware and even jadeware shops to inquire again, to see if there was such a person as the earth claw civet, and Bai Yutang naturally accompanied him.

It's just that the so-called friends don't get together, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked in the bustling market for less than half a cup of tea, and met Zhao Cong who was also shopping, he was dressed in casual clothes, and he was walking behind. It was dead leaves... That yin and yang face was also covered by the veiled scarf, as if he didn't want to attract attention.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang—meeting on a narrow road.

Bai Yutang smiled helplessly, this is the most mixed place in Kaifeng, Zhao Cong is a majestic little prince, what is he doing here?

Just as he was thinking, Zhao Cong had already arrived in front of them.

"Brother Zhan, brother Bai, what a coincidence?" Zhao Cong looked enthusiastic, but there seemed to be some surprises and troubles in his eyes.

This reminded Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

Originally, they thought Zhao Cong had something to do, and deliberately met here, but now it seems that it is not the case!It should be that Zhao Cong was going to do something and he didn't want others to know, but he ran into the two of them here unexpectedly.

The corners of Zhan Zhao's mouth curled up slightly, and Bai Yutang beside him understood, the cat was probably going to be excited, there was no reason not to cook the duck he delivered to his door!

I saw Zhan Zhao answering Zhao Cong with a smile, "Yes, my lord, what a coincidence? Why did you come to such a place?"

"Oh... Ah Ye brought me here. It's quite lively here. I haven't been here before, so I went around for a while." Zhao Cong's answer was not leaking, but if he deliberately concealed it, it would be easier to attract others' attention. Suspect.

"Your guard is not from Kaifeng, is it?" Zhan Zhao asked casually.

"No, Aye, you had some misunderstandings with Mr. Zhan before, please explain clearly."

Withered Ye had a half-smile on his face, anyway, it covered only one eye, so he couldn't see his expression clearly, but he reluctantly cupped his hands with Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao smiled generously, "Oh, is it a misunderstanding, I happen to be free, why don't I be the host and take you on a tour of Kaifeng?"

"Then how dare you be..." A trace of doubt flashed in Zhao Cong's eyes, which made Zhan Zhao more sure of his thoughts, and insisted, "Is there any inconvenience for the little prince?"

"No." Zhao Cong quickly shook his head, "Master Zhan is too worried, let's go this way, let's go eat something."

"I'm just hungry, what's your proposal?"

"It's not as good as the Zhuji Wonton from before?" Zhao Cong smiled happily, "I have been away for so many years, and it has been a long time since I have eaten delicious wontons."

"My lord has never been here before, so you've already heard of the name Zhu Ji Wonton?" Zhan Zhao seemed to be interested, "It seems that this store is really well-known in Kaifeng."

Seeing that Zhan Zhao is picky about his words, Zhao Cong obviously came prepared. He knew that today he would be entangled with him and miss a big deal, but he couldn't get rid of it in a hurry, or it would arouse suspicion, so he had to walk with him, thinking about how to get out.

Behind him, Bai Yutang suddenly heard Dead Ye come over and say, "Your Zhan Zhao seems to have alienated you."

Bai Yutang gave him a cold look, pointed at Zhao Cong, "Your owner is called distant, or in other words, he doesn't pay attention to you at all." After speaking, he lifted his feet and walked forward.Withered Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought he was good to you, Bai Yutang, even though he was wronged, he even turned a corner and called him Zhao Cong's dog.

"Bai Yutang, isn't Zhan Zhao working for the government just like me? I'm only temporary, but he's determined to last forever!" Withered Ye said through gritted teeth, while sneering, "If I'm a dog, he's a cat, it's not much different. Bar?"

Bai Yutang looked at him in surprise, "Did Zhao Cong call you a dog? I didn't say you were. Don't insult a dog."

Withered leaves turned blue.

Zhan Zhaoshi, who was walking in front, could hear clearly and wanted to laugh.

"Zhao Cong is not Mr. Bao. Mr. Bao values ​​love and righteousness, and will not kill a donkey." Bai Yutang reminded him in a low voice, "However, of course you are not as good as the one left by my cat." Cat hair." After finishing speaking, he put aside the dead leaves with a livid face, and went to the front to listen to Zhan Zhao deal with Zhao Cong.
