treacherous world

"What is the Wulou?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang puzzled, "Why do you say that small building is the most powerful institution?"

"This building has four floors, right?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao nodded, "I still wonder why there are towers with even numbers."

"The pattern of this kind of building is a layer of fire, a layer of ice, plus various mechanisms, which can create fog." Bai Yutang helped explain, "In this kind of weather, when the temperature difference between day and night is large, this kind of fog can Lou is the most powerful!"

"What are you using to make the mist?" Zhan Zhao felt a little strange.

"If there is poison in the mist..."

When Bai Yutang reminded him a little, everyone gasped.

"That's really a catastrophe!" Bao Zheng felt terrified after thinking about it, "How to prepare for it?"

"Demolish that building." Zhao Pu whispered, "Or just blow it up."

"That's even more dangerous." Bai Yutang shook his head, "Once the mechanism is touched, the building will explode and the dust will spread everywhere. Once it rains or winds up, the threat will expand."

"Then what should we do?" Gongsun also felt helpless, the dust or smoke was not a problem that Zhao Pu's hundreds of thousands of troops could solve.

"Did Zhao Cong take a box in?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Is that the one you took out of the cave?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, and everyone suddenly understood—could it be the fruit from that strange tree, the kind that just a little powder can make people have nightmares and then fall into a dream and cannot extricate themselves? !

"They want to use the fog tower to spread the poison of the fruit into the fog. At that time..." Bao Zheng frowned, "Everyone will be poisoned, then it will really be a nightmare besieged city, and people may lose their minds and fight each other At that time, Kaifeng will become a crazy city, and no one will be able to escape!"

"Is there no way to crack it?" Gongsun frowned.

"Not exactly." At this moment, Cen Jing who had been silent at the side suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked at him, but Cen Jing looked at Bai Yutang, "Do you know why the other party suddenly wants your life so much?"

Bai Yutang was slightly taken aback.

Cen Jing smiled, but Zhan Zhao's face turned pale.

After a long silence, Bai Yutang said, "Just dismantle the mechanism in the building."

"Don't even think about it!"

It was Yinhou and Tianzun who spoke at the same time.

Zhan Zhao stood there frowning, recurring in his head the nightmare he had had in the past few days about Bai Yutang being killed, unable to speak, he tugged at Bai Yutang's sleeve for fear that he would run away.

Bao Zheng thought for a while, then looked at Bai Yutang, "Bai Shaoxia, have you ever cracked this building?"

Before Bai Yutang could speak, Zhan Zhao said, "Sure, there is another way?"

Bao Zheng was slightly taken aback, looking at Zhan Zhao, he also knew that asking Bai Yutang to take risks like this was too much for others, Zhan Zhao would definitely not agree... Indeed, he could think of other ways.

Seeing that Zhan Zhao was so worried, Bai Yutang swallowed the words that came to his lips, and Yin Hou saw it and asked him, "Just say what you have to say."

Bai Yutang looked up at Yin Hou.

Yin Hou raised his eyebrows, "Say!"

Everyone looked at each other, Zhan Zhao tugged at Bai Yutang's sleeve, didn't this rat want to enter the building and break the mechanism?

Bai Yutang was silent for a moment, then said, "Aunt Wu said that no one can break through the fog tower, and even if you go in, you can't get out. There is only one word dead."

Everyone's heart sank.

Bao Zheng was puzzled, "Didn't Zhao Cong enter the building and come out again..."

"He just entered the first floor. The poison is placed in the mechanism at the bottom and then raised to the highest floor." Bai Yutang said, unfolding the blueprint for everyone to see, "Once the poison is put in, it can't be taken out again, and the small building will also It operates on its own, and it usually takes about three days to create fog."

"So fast..." Bao Zheng was anxious.

"Don't worry." Zhao Pu waved his hand, "There are still three days left, why don't we sort it out again, I always feel like I missed something."

Everyone looked at each other, and Bao Zheng also nodded, "Yes, think about it again! There must be a flaw."

"My lord! My lord." At this moment, Ouyang Shaozheng and Shi Chang rushed in anxiously.

"what?"

"The Eighth Prince is gone!"

"What?" Zhao Pu frowned, "Why didn't you disappear in the barracks?"

"He said it was convenient to go, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye!" Shi Chang was also anxious.

"The barracks is heavily guarded. Starlings don't know martial arts. They will never go away by themselves. Someone will take over or kidnap them..." Zhao Pu frowned and was thinking, when he listened to the Mahan outside reporting, "Master Bao, there is an imperial decree in the palace, please You and the exhibition guards quickly enter the palace to face the saint."

Everyone was a little surprised, in the middle of the night, why the emperor was still awake, and still looking for Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao.

Speaking of it, it is very common for Zhao Zhen to pass on Bao Zheng, but it is a bit special to pass on Master Bao and Zhan Weiwei to enter the palace together. As for what is special, I can't say.

Zhan Zhao was going to change clothes, but Bao Zheng waved his hand suddenly, "Come on, take it easy, let Ma Han go and ask the guards passed down if there is only the emperor in the palace."

Ma Han quickly replied, saying that the Eighth Prince was also there.

Bao Zheng immediately frowned, "I can go by myself."

Zhan Zhao was surprised, "My lord, if you don't go like this, is it against the decree?"

"I told you that you went out of the city and haven't come back from the investigation, so don't show up in public for a few days." Bao Zheng said, and hurriedly changed his clothes.

Zhan Zhao didn't understand, so Yin Hou looked at the back of Bao Zheng who was walking out meaningfully, and sighed, "It is said that Mr. Bao treats you like a nephew. I thought it was just an exaggeration. It turns out that he really does. I love you so much, I don't hesitate to take the risk of resisting the edict and deceiving the emperor, it will make Usha lose his head."

Zhan Zhao's face changed slightly, and he was about to follow him out, but Bai Yutang grabbed his wrist.

Zhan Zhao looked back at him.

Bai Yutang said in a low voice, "Don't waste your painstaking efforts."

Zhan Zhao's face darkened, "Why do you resist the order?"

"You are really a sincere child." Tianzun shook his head, "With such a simple temper, you are in the officialdom, and only Mr. Bao can take care of you for so many years."

Zhan Zhao was even more confused.

"The emperor summoned at this time, and the missing Eighth Prince is still here!" Gongsun said to himself, "I have detoxified the Eighth King with acupuncture and moxibustion. It will be a matter of time before he wakes up. If he still has the time to help Zhao Cong If there is no memory, then he may also know about the Wulou, so why don't he tell the emperor immediately."

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth and bowed his head. He is just not good at thinking complicated things about people, but he is a smart person who can understand by inference.With Zhao Zhen's wisdom, he would immediately think that only Bai Yutang could crack that organ building, and this move is extremely dangerous, the best way to make Bai Yutang obediently submit... Naturally, keep Zhan Zhao by his side as a hostage .

"The emperor will really do this?" Zhan Zhao looked at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu was silent for a while, "For the sake of the country and the country, he will never hesitate to let him be a man, a god and a ghost, like something an emperor would do."

Everyone had a lump in their hearts, of course... As the emperor, if sacrificing one person could save the comfort of the people in the world, he would definitely do it, but Bao Zheng... was not willing.

"Then isn't your lord defying the holy will?" Zhan Zhao frowned.

"Not necessarily." Bai Yutang said, "This is probably a tacit approach. Zhao Zhen may want to discuss with you again, and then take advantage of the situation to keep you, and take one step at a time. The premise is that you don't know the fog. Lou's matter. And this time Mr. Bao will go alone without you, with Zhao Zhen's shrewdness, he will definitely figure it out, and he will not make things difficult for Mr. Bao."

Zhao Pu nodded, "That's right, and the emperor may think that Mr. Bao has already thought of a solution, so he doesn't need to worry too much."

Zhan Zhao sighed, "Isn't the result the same? We have to remove the threat from the fog building within three days, or you will be in danger... and the world cannot really be in chaos, watching all the people in Kaifeng turn into succubus Bar?!"

Zhao Pu nodded, "Then let Bai Yutang try it."

"That won't work!" Before Zhao Pu finished speaking, Zhan Zhao grabbed Bai Yutang and hid behind him, "Think of another way!"

Bai Yutang was relieved.In Zhan Zhao's mind, I am more important than Bao Zheng. It's not that Bao Zheng is more important to Zhan Zhao, but that Bao Zheng represents Zhan Zhao's principles. For his Bai Yutang's safety, Zhan Zhao can actually abandon the principles. For a cat, principles are more important than life, and he, Bai Yutang, is worth everything Zhan Zhao has, so how can he be unhappy?

"Um……"

At this time, Cen Jing suddenly laughed, rubbed his chin and seemed to find something interesting, Zhao Pu asked him, "What do you think?"

"Oh, I just find it strange." Cen Jing said, "After the fruit is placed in the organ building, it is irreversible, isn't it?"

Everyone nodded.

"Then you, Bai Yutang, will not be sure to dismantle it even if you enter it, will you?"

Bai Yutang nodded.

"That is to say, no matter who does what, the organ building will theoretically release poisonous fog to Kaifeng Mansion after three days, right?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and had no choice but to nod.

"Since Bai Yutang will go or not, the general situation has been decided, so why bother to send you into the building?" Cen Jing asked, "It is impossible for the Eighth Prince to escape from the barracks by himself, someone must rescue him, your people are all here , that can only be done by the other party, isn't this asking for trouble for yourself?"

"The other party rescued myna to kill Bai Yutang." Zhao Pu frowned, "If you include the green-eyed man you met on the way back just now, they also want to kill Bai Yutang...why do you want to die all of a sudden?"

"It doesn't make sense!" At this moment, Zhan Zhao suddenly raised his head, "There is something unreasonable!"

"Let's listen to it." Yin Hou suggested, "Usually the unreasonable place is the flaw."

"If the Eighth Prince told the emperor about Xiaolou, wouldn't Zhao Cong also be exposed?" Zhan Zhao asked, "But Zhao Cong tried his best to cover up before, indicating that he still didn't want to be exposed! That is to say, in the past three days, he I need to use Zhao Cong's identity to do something else. No need to ask, Zhao Cong opened all the organs of the small building, which shows that his identity is important, why did he not hesitate to expose this important chess piece to harm Yutang?"

Everyone felt... Indeed, does the other party really hate Bai Yutang?

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Cat, where is that unreasonable?"

"The most unreasonable thing is that whether you die or not, it doesn't change this action at all! Killing you will only drag down this action. Why does the other party have to do everything at all?"

Bai Yutang was stunned - what Zhan Zhao said was absolutely right!indeed.

"There are only two reasons!" Zhao Pu reacted quickly, and suddenly understood, "Usually there are only three reasons why people go out of their way to kill a person. They are blocking the road now, blocking the road in the future, or blocking the road now and in the future."

"And the fact that you can block the way only appeared recently!" Zhan Zhao completely agreed, and suddenly became enlightened, "The most shocking discovery you have recently is that you are completely unaffected by the Eight Eyes. It may be the reason why the other party suddenly changed his position and wanted to kill you."

Having said this, Bai Yutang suddenly stood up.

"Yutang, what's wrong?" Zhan Zhao grabbed Bai Yutang.

"Cat... Fifth Aunt said that no one can solve the mechanism in the building!" Bai Yutang suddenly became a little excited, which was rare for him, "But she always said that there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved." organ!"

Everyone blinked, "It's contradictory."

"It's not self-contradictory!" Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao seriously, "There really is a mechanism in this world that no one can understand!"

"What?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"It's just... a mechanism without a mechanism!" Bai Yutang said, "If there is no mechanism, how can we solve it?"

Everyone was stunned, and their heads were spinning in circles, as if they had figured it out and then they didn't seem to figure it out.

"what!"

At this time, Zhan Zhao clapped his hands, "I understand! There is something that creates fog in that small building, but there is no mechanism at all, only illusion! Illusion created by green fruit powder."

Everyone was reminded by Zhan Zhaoyi, and they all understood in a huff - didn't they!The best mechanism of that small building is illusion, isn't that impossible to solve forever!So there is no mechanism, which means that the mechanism has no solution.Of course, this trick works for everyone, except for Bai Yutang...

Bai Yutang laughed, this move is quite ruthless, if Zhao Zhen really takes you as a hostage, not only will I not enter the building, but I will go to rescue you, and it will inevitably be against the royal family.

"If we let Zhao Pu deal with you at that time, we will kill each other!" Gongsun nodded, "What a vicious trick! And the other party is likely to ambush you in the building!"

"If it's true, can it be deduced like this?" Zhao Pu asked with a smile, "The power of the Eight Eyes is that they can charm people's hearts, confuse minds, and control consciousness. But once a person is completely unaffected, then To this person, these eight fruits are just like eight pieces of rotten fruit that look like eyes, just like a rotten apple and peach.”

"So..." Tianzun looked at Bai Yutang, "You are equivalent to a key! Lin Chanzi, you really know too much about the secrets of heaven."

"Then I'll take someone into the building to take a look and see if what I see is different from what you see. If there is, it means that the speculation is correct, and we can go in and take out the fruit!" Bai Yutang suggested , everyone nodded.

Zhan Zhao's heart sank, he grabbed Bai Yutang, "I'll go with you too."

Bai Yutang naturally nodded and agreed, if Zhan Zhao was not allowed to go, it would be the greatest torture for him, he would have to scratch his head and worry about death outside, and when the time comes to follow him recklessly, it would be more dangerous.

"Speaking of which, who is the young master?" Yin Hou said to himself, "So ambitious, but so well hidden..."

Zhan Zhao folded his arms and shook his head, "We should sort it out, I always feel that there are some clues that we have missed."

"Daddy!"

At this time, the little four from outside ran in with a basket. He bumped into people all the way and divided the oranges all the way. When he ran to Gongsun, there were only four or five left in the basket.

"Little Four?" Seeing that everyone was discussing serious matters, Gongsun was afraid that Little Four would disturb everyone, so he went out to hold his hand, "Let's go, Daddy will take you back to bed."

The fourth son pouted, "But Xiao Liangzi and his elder brother have a lot to talk about."

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to hold Gongsun, "It's okay, I'm just thinking about it, let me play with him for a while, maybe I can wake up."

Gongsun then gave the fourth son to Zhan Zhao.

Bai Yutang leaned against the table, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he always felt that Zhan Zhao used the fourth son as a tiger and a tiger.

After Zhan Zhao pinched his fleshy cheeks twice, the fourth son hurriedly stretched out his hands to cover them. Seeing that there were wrinkles between Zhan Zhao's brows, he shook his head and stretched out his hands to rub them. He broke open an orange and put the pulp into his mouth. Li Sai muttered, "This orange is so sweet, not sour like the local oranges!"

"Green-skinned ones are more sour." Zhan Zhao answered casually, and stuffed half an orange for Bai Yutang——sweet!

Yin Hou curled his lips in relish, his grandson now only thinks about Bai Yutang and doesn't care about his grandfather, and only leaves all the delicious food to him.He was eating vinegar indiscriminately, when Tianzun poked him, he turned his head, and Tianzun put half an orange in his hand.

Yin Hou was startled, covered in goose skin, looked down and scolded his mother—it was orange peel!

"The green-skinned ones are sour!" The fourth son looked at the crowd, wondering what the adults were doing with their frowning faces in the middle of the night.He said to himself, "Green orange sour, green apple sour, and green grape are also counted, oh! Green watermelon is not sour."

The fourth son likes to nag on weekdays, muttering to himself, but it doesn't mean anything.But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that Zhan Zhao's hand holding his cheek tightened suddenly.

"Hmm!" The fourth son was in pain, rubbing his face to look at Zhan Zhao, Gongsun hurriedly picked him up, and touched the red mark on his white cheek with distress.

"Watermelon!" Zhan Zhao suddenly stood up.

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Bai Yutang gently pulled Zhan Zhao's clothes, "Cat?"

"Yutang!" Zhan Zhao grabbed Bai Yutang's hand, "Watermelon!"

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao in astonishment, "Watermelon?"

"Mmm!" Zhan Zhao let out a long breath of excitement, "I see, Watermelon!"

Bai Yutang frowned and wondered if his cat was stressed and sick, and felt Yin Hou gently tugged at his sleeve.Bai Yutang hurried over.

"Then what... Yutang." Yin Hou whispered, "Zhao Zhao seems to want to eat watermelon."

"Understood." Bai Yutang nodded, "I'll go buy a melon field for...he..."

At the end of Bai Yutang's speech, he suddenly froze, and then sat up, "Melon field."

He suddenly raised his head, exchanged a glance with Zhan Zhao, and instantly understood, "Oh! Watermelon!"

Yin Hou Fu's forehead——As expected, they are a match made in heaven, and they all look exactly the same when they have convulsions.
