treacherous world

Zhan Zhao said "Young Master", and called out a green-eyed man hiding in the dark.

This person is hidden in the darkness. Although the appearance cannot be seen clearly, the outline of the figure can still be distinguished. It is a thin and tall man, and his age is estimated to be young...

After Zhan Zhao saw it, he suddenly smiled.

Bai Yutang wondered, and looked at Zhan Zhao in bewilderment.

Zhan Zhao touched his chin and said to himself, "Oh... I understand, from that day on, what I saw was just a fantasy, not real at all!"

Bai Yutang was surprised, what exactly did Zhan Zhao say?

"That day when I was upstairs in Taibai's residence, I looked down the alley and thought I saw Fifth Aunt, but it wasn't... the person who looked very similar to Fifth Aunt was just a fantasy, not real. Because of this, You are clearly a man, but what I see is a woman.

Bai Yutang was slightly taken aback, touched his chin, looked at the green-eyed man, "I see."

"Who are you?" Zhan Zhao asked him, "What do you want to do by pretending to be a ghost?"

The green-eyed man didn't seem to have the intention of running away immediately, but stared at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang with a little interest, and after a while, he opened his mouth and let out a normal laugh, "I really didn't expect that such a thing would happen. Is it the so-called God's will that cannot be violated? You Han people are really interesting."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned slightly—is this man Han Chinese? .

At this time, there were suddenly hunting winds from all around.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's hearing was excellent, and they sensed that someone had landed on the roofs of the surrounding area, with a high-spirited killing intent.It seems that they were ambushed, and many people came around, and they were all masters of internal energy.

"Yah ha ha ha."

At this moment, a hoarse and sharp laughter came from the roof, "No wonder I have a good job, so it's to deal with these two people." Bai Yutang, I asked you to cut off one of my ears. "

"But..." At this time, the voice instantly became coquettish, "I'm still really reluctant to kill these two good men."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other—they were all acquaintances?Looking around, the two of them were also happy.I saw all kinds of people standing or squatting on the wall, all of them were from the rivers and lakes.Most of these people came from bad backgrounds, and they were full of crimes on weekdays, and many of them were still fugitives who were wanted.Now one or two gathered in Kaifeng mansion, I don't know what purpose they came for.

Zhan Zhao looked around, counted a total of eight people, and sneered, "Just how many of you?"

Several Jianghu people looked at each other, and the oldest old man came over, "I said Zhan Xiaomao..."

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped heavily.

The old man turned around in a circle, covered his cheeks, saw no one in front of him, spit on the roof, spit out the blood and his only two remaining teeth, stared at Bai Yutang, "Bai Yutang, You are sick, you hit someone with your hands?!"

Bai Yutang looked at him and said coldly, "You didn't call the cat."

The old man took a step back, as if seeing Bai Yutang a little bit scared, this man can palm in the air, you don't know when he can cripple you with just a swing of his sleeve.

Zhan Zhao saw it, stood there and thought for a while, then reached out and gently tugged Bai Yutang's sleeve.

Bai Yutang looked at him.

Zhan Zhao stared at him resentfully, as if he was angry.

Bai Yutang was a little puzzled, "Cat..."

"You've been in the limelight enough, these are mine." Zhan Zhao muttered in a low voice, "I'll just wait and see but not do anything."

Bai Yutang couldn't laugh or cry—in some respects, Zhan Zhao was the one with the weirdest personality.

Looking back at the green-eyed man who was still half-hiding in the shadows, Bai Yutang asked him, "What's your purpose?"

"It's very simple." The green-eyed man smiled slightly, "I want the same thing from Zhan Zhao."

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, what could he have, so he asked, "What do you want?"

"Life and death box."

Zhan Zhao was stunned, thinking he didn't hear clearly, "What?"

"The box in your hand!" The green-eyed man stared at Zhan Zhao, "Don't play dumb, hand it over."

Zhan Zhao was a little amused, "Speaking of boxes, there are so many. I like to eat eggplant boxes, pumpkin boxes, and winter melon boxes."

Bai Yutang rubbed his brows, sure enough Zhan Zhao's three words were inseparable from food.

"Zhan Xiao..." another ruffian young man with a fan on the roof said, but the "cat" didn't come out, so he swallowed it quickly and coughed, "After many investigations, the box of life and death is in your hands Come on, don't you hand it over?"

Zhan Zhao was at a loss, when did he have the life and death box?He heard that the life-and-death box is also a recent thing, besides, the life-and-death box contains fruit, so it should be not small, he has never seen it before!

Bai Yutang was also puzzled—why did he want Zhan Zhao?

"Also..." The green-eyed man changed the subject, "I also want to ask Bai Wuye for the same thing."

Bai Yutang looked at him, "What do you want?"

"Your life." The green-eyed man chuckled, "Today, you must die here."

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows.

Zhan Zhao's complexion flickered, and he turned cold.

The man in black waved his hand, motioning for everyone to join in.

Bai Yutang took the knife, Zhan Zhao blocked him back, that means, he's coming today.

Bai Yutang smiled, and he also knew what Zhan Zhao meant—the eight people here are not masters, but they are not idiots either.It is true that Zhan Zhao can deal with it alone, and it will be easier if he helps, but... Both of them may ignore the green-eyed man not far away.This person is deeply scheming and his purpose is unknown, so it is better to keep an eye on him.

"Hahaha..." The eight people dispersed, surrounded Zhan Zhao, and asked with a smile, "Zhan Zhao, how many of us do you see?"

Zhan Zhao raised his head and frowned.

The laughter became heavier, and at the same time, the shadows of the eight people around them also overlapped, and the number of people began to increase.

Zhan Zhao smiled faintly... Is it soul-stirring?Sure enough, this green-eyed person is the real master, much more powerful than those little minions.I just don't know how his soul-stirring technique was cultivated. Is it a crooked way about green fruit, or the legendary seven-heart soul-stirring technique?

Seeing Zhan Zhao standing there looking around, Bai Yutang wondered, "Cat?"

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "How many people?"

Bai Yutang took a look, "Eight." At the same time, he also understood what Zhan Zhao meant—this cat may have been affected by the soul-stirring technique.

"Cat, do you want to..." Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao if he wanted to come. After all, this was not a joke.

But Zhan Zhao smiled lightly, "Actually, it's not that difficult, it's a trivial matter." After speaking, he jumped onto the roof.

The green-eyed man sneered, "Extremely stupid!"

Bai Yutang looked back at him, "Why are you hiding in the dark? You can't see anyone?"

The man squinted a pair of fluorescent green eyes and looked at Bai Yutang, "Would you care about your cat, why don't you help? One against ten is fine, but Zhan Zhao is not strong enough to one against a hundred..."

But before he finished speaking, suddenly there was a "bang", and a person rolled off the roof and landed heavily.It was the scholar just now.

He covered his shoulder, and saw a bloody hole there, it seemed that Zhan Zhao really had no intention of showing mercy.

Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, looking at the green-eyed man, he saw his eyes wide open staring at the roof, his expression... seemed to be in disbelief.

After a few moves, two more were left behind, and now there are only five left. Zhan Zhao's moves are fatal, and it seems that he has not been affected by the soul-hunting technique at all.Where those five people could stand up, they were at a disadvantage.

"How is it possible..." the green-eyed man said to himself.

Bai Yutang twitched the corner of his mouth...I see.

The green-eyed man also saw Bai Yutang's smile, and frowned slightly, "Do you know what's going on?"

Bai Yutang asked him back, "You don't know? That would be too stupid."

"What did you say?!" The man took a step forward, but then he seemed to hesitate for a moment, then silently stepped back and returned to the alley.

Bai Yutang saw his actions, and inexplicably came up with a thought—why is this person so afraid of being exposed?Could it be someone they know?Or his looks... have secrets.

Just as he was thinking, Zhan Zhao had already packed up the remaining five, jumped in front of Bai Yutang, clapped his hands and returned the sword into its sheath... with ease.

"You didn't get the soul-hunting spell?" the green-eyed man asked Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao raised his brows, "Well, I did see a lot of double images, everyone has at least two or three, it's like watching a kaleidoscope."

"Then why did you..."

Zhan Zhao smiled, and told him in a low voice as if hinting, "You won't understand."

As he spoke, he and Bai Yutang looked at each other and smiled.Bai Yutang knew that Zhan Zhao learned kung fu from all the old ghosts in Tianmo Palace, he was used to pairing moves with Chongsan, and he wasn't afraid of three of them stacking up together, let alone only one of them was real!Of course, it is impossible for a person with green eyes to understand this.

After Zhan Zhao cleaned up the eight people, he warmed up, exchanged glances with Bai Yutang, and at the same time looked at the green-eyed man in the alley—I won't let you run away today!

The green-eyed man sneered, "Zhan Zhao, it was just luck once, are you sure you will succeed the second time?"

While speaking, Zhan Zhao frowned—because the original green-eyed man in the alley suddenly turned into a white dress, with the appearance of Bai Yutang.Zhan Zhao was furious from the heart, this guy's soul-hunting technique is really not simple, and he even imitated his white mouse, it's unforgivable!

"Or...this?" As soon as the man finished speaking, Bai Yutang's appearance changed into Master Bao, Gongsun, and even the fourth son...

Zhan Zhao knew that he had been hit by his insanity spell. He clearly knew that it was just an illusion, but he couldn't tell where the truth was, and he didn't know where to find a breakthrough to return to reality. This was really scary. How is gong practiced?

Standing behind Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang felt that Zhan Zhao was hesitating, and he probably saw some hallucination again.

Reaching out, "Cat."

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao turned his head, Bai Yutang's handsome face flickered in front of him, and then his lips warmed up.When he was startled, he felt a slightly sweet taste between his lips and teeth.

When Zhan Zhao came back to his senses, Bai Yutang pressed his chin and gently turned his face to the stunned green-eyed man not far away.

Zhan Zhao also woke up at this time, and saw that all the illusions created by the green-eyed man disappeared, and there was Bai Yutang in his mouth, and the smell of blood, although it was very faint.

Zhan Zhao smacked his lips, it turned out that Bai Yutang deliberately bit his lips before kissing himself, letting himself taste his blood... Sure enough, it was even more effective than the previous time!All hallucinations disappeared without a trace.

The green-eyed man also noticed that the confusion in Zhan Zhao's eyes had disappeared, and looked at Bai Yutang with a complicated expression.

"Is this the reason?" Zhan Zhao seemed to understand something, looking at the man with green eyes, "I want to kill Yutang... because the eight eyes have no effect on him at all!"

Bai Yutang probably understood the reason, and suddenly remembered one thing, this ability...could it be given to him by the Fifth Aunt back then?Without his knowledge at all.

"Zhan Zhao, don't be too happy!" the green-eyed man said fiercely and coldly, "Within three days, Kaifeng Mansion will definitely be in flames." After finishing speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

There was no way Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang would let him run away, so they jumped from left to right to catch up.

However, at this moment, a strange thing happened—thick smoke billowed in the alley instantly.

Zhan Zhao hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and took a step back. Seeing Bai Yutang following him, he wondered, "Isn't it a hallucination?"

Bai Yutang shook his head.

Looking at the alley again, the green-eyed man had disappeared without a trace, and there was an open chimney on the ground, it seemed that he was already ready to escape.

The two backed out of the alley, and couldn't find anyone again, so they had to walk back dejectedly.

What happened today is really incredible.

"Cat, why did they take the life and death box with you?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.

Zhan Zhao couldn't figure it out even more, "It's strange, I really don't know what kind of box..."

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Zhan Zhao seemed to have remembered something, Bai Yutang hurriedly asked.

"Could it be the box my elder brother gave me the first time?" Zhan Zhao looked up at Bai Yutang, "It's the one with the medicine powder!"

Bai Yutang instantly understood - because of that box, Zhan Zhao has a pair of golden eyes and some special abilities. Although they don't know much about it now, Zhan Zhao's eyesight has indeed been strengthened a lot.

"Is the box still there?" Bai Yutang asked quickly.

"Yes, in the box under the bed..." Before Zhan Zhao finished speaking, Bai Yutang held his hand and ran towards Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhan Zhao followed behind, the temperature of the tip of his tongue was still there, it turned out that the blood of the white mouse tasted pretty good!Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand, flashed two pointed ones, and smacked Bai Yutang's wrist with an "ahhhh".

"Hiss..." Bai Yutang quickly withdrew his hand and looked at Zhan Zhao in horror, "Cat, why are you biting?!"

Zhan Zhao said confidently, "Be prepared!"

Bai Yutang looked around, "There is no one using soul-stirring technique here either."

"Who knows!" Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes.

Bai Yutang had a premonition that he would be bitten frequently in the future... He should really catch that green-eyed weirdo quickly, otherwise he would probably be covered in tooth marks in the future.

The two hurried back to their room in Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhan Zhao rummaged through boxes and cabinets and finally found the box, because the trap had been unlocked, and the box was smoothly opened and placed on the table.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang circled the table and looked carefully.

"It's like an ordinary box!" Zhan Zhao poked Bai Yutang, "Haven't you seen it all before?"

"No." Bai Yutang shook his head, "I was in a hurry to chase you, so I didn't have time to take a closer look." As he spoke, he suddenly reached out to pick up the box, tapped the bottom, and put it to his ear.

"Cat, there's a mezzanine!"

Hearing Bai Yutang's words, Zhan Zhao's eyes lit up, but he picked up a chopstick from the table and handed it to Bai Yutang, "Be careful just like last time, it's a mechanism or something."

Bai Yutang smiled, "The interlayer is very thin, maybe it's hiding letters or something." Then he took out some small tools to open the box.

Zhan Zhao was a little disappointed, "I thought it was really a box of life and death, and it contained fruits."

With a sound of "click", the lid of the box was opened, and Bai Yutang pulled out the wooden board at the bottom of the box, and sure enough - the bottom layer was formed by sandwiching two layers of wooden boards, with a small blueprint sandwiched between the two wooden boards.

When Bai Yutang opened the drawing, he saw that there was only a small building on it.

Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin, "Huh?"

Bai Yutang's expression was stern at this time. After reading the picture, he asked Zhan Zhao, "Cat, this small building..."

"I've seen it!" Zhan Zhao said, and Bai Yutang grabbed his wrist, "Where is it?"

Seeing his frightening expression, Zhan Zhao quickly said, "I saw it with Zhao Cong this afternoon when I was with my grandfather, it was in the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion..."

"You mean the same small building?" Bai Yutang's face paled, and Zhan Zhao had already realized the seriousness of it, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Yutang? What is the small building for?"

Bai Yutang frowned and looked at Zhan Zhao, "Mao'er, if it is true that a small building that is exactly the same as what the green-eyed man said just now would set Kaifeng Mansion on fire...it's really not impossible!"

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide - just because of a small building?

At this time, Bai Fu ran in from outside, "Fifth Master, Mr. Zhan and Mr. Bao are looking for you, saying that there is a new progress in the case!"
