[Rat cat] Jade Xu Luo Qianqiu

Early in the morning, Zhan Zhao took the black box to Chen's residence, and put it on the desk in the study in full view, and then left Chen's residence with Bai Yutang and Shen Jingtong.

night.

A black shadow leaped across the room, passed several buildings, turned over and landed in front of the study door.

Seeing that the black shadow first looked around cautiously, after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he pushed open the door of the study room and rolled in, and immediately closed the door behind him.The movements are done in one go, as skillful as flowing clouds and flowing water.

The black box lay quietly on the desk, as if waiting for his arrival.

Swallowing quietly, slightly concealing the eagerness in his eyes, he walked towards the black box step by step.Just as he stretched out his hand to take the black box away, suddenly a snow-white and shiny long sword stabbed out from the oblique drop.

Startled, Soi Ying turned around and wanted to leave.However, there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing by, and there was a man in white with an evil smile in front of him, it was Bai Yutang.

"Hey! Where's the little thief?! Fifth Master, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Without waiting for the black shadow to reply, Bai Yutang had already raised his sword and stabbed. .

With a second thought, Soi Ying took out a pill from his bosom and threw it at Bai Yutang.When the pill fell to the ground, there was only a "bang", and white smoke filled the air.

Bai Yutang coughed a few times, waved his sleeves to disperse the smoke, but he couldn't help being furious when he could still see a shadow.

Let's say that Hei Ying had just escaped from the study room, and was full of joy to rejoice that he escaped Bai Yutang's pursuit, but he didn't expect to see Zhan Zhao in blue clothes leaning on the wall with a sword in his arms and looking at him just a few steps away.

Zhan Zhao noticed that the black shadow had noticed him, straightened up, walked slowly to the black shadow with the giant que in hand, cupped his fists and said, "Zhan has been waiting here for a long time."

The black shadow stepped back a few steps, looked left and right, and was about to take out the pill from his arms to repeat the same trick, but before he reached into his arms, he was hit on the back of the head by Bai Yutang who was catching up behind him, and his eyes suddenly went dark , passed out.

"...Yutang, you didn't beat him to death, did you?"

Don't wait for a while when I ask the question, I'm already delirious, and I can't tell why...

"Grandpa Bai, do I seem to be such a ignorant person?!" He glared and dragged the unconscious man in black into the hall.

"..." Most of the time it was really similar... I shook my head helplessly and followed quickly.

hall.

Bai Yutang threw the man to the ground and took off his mask, only to realize that the man in black was actually a new servant.Picking up the cup on the table and pouring it on the man in black, the overnight tea immediately flowed down the face of the man in black.

"Cough, cough..." Opening his eyes, his head was still a little groggy, and even the things he saw were double images.But when he saw the black box in Zhan Zhao's hand, he immediately became more than half awake.

"Are you awake? When you wake up, this cat-sama will start asking questions." Bai Yutang sat reclined on the grand master's chair, looking leisurely.

"...Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"The villain, Ling Yuexin, is a disciple of the Yin-Yang family. Chen Ping came to the Yin-Yang family a year ago, hoping to learn the art of manipulating puppets, but the master saw that his foundation was weak and he was too distracted, so he refused to teach him. How could he expect that? The guy actually stole the exercises while the guards were lax, and there has been no news since then. The villain only found out about his whereabouts a few months ago, and found an opportunity to sneak in. I didn't expect that when I saw him, he had already Practicing that technique and being backlashed."

"Then Chen Ping... Did you kill it?" Shen Jingtong didn't say anything since Zhan Zhao and the others came in, and only then raised her head and looked directly at Ling Yuexin.

"me!"

"Tell the truth!" Bai Yutang glanced over upon hearing the words, picked up a white cloth beside him and slowly wiped Hua Ying, the cold light of Hua Ying happened to be reflected on Ling Yuexin's neck intentionally or unintentionally, as if Ling Yuexin had something to hide It will stab him with a sword.

"Yeah, it can't be counted as my killing. Chen Ping was backfired by his kung fu, so he wouldn't live long. I just enforced the rules of the sect and moved my hands to speed up the backlash."

"Hey, take it away..." Zhan Zhao sighed silently, and waved his hand to let the servants escort Ling Yuexin back to Kaifeng Mansion.

Time is like running water, and Kaifeng Mansion has spent more than half a year in the daily chaos.

The end of the new year was approaching, and the officials kindly granted Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao a half-month holiday, allowing them to go home and reunite.

It seems that the Chinese New Year is almost here, and those who are used to committing crimes have restrained their restless thoughts. Suddenly, everyone in Kaifeng Mansion was able to steal half a day of leisure.

Bao Zheng was sitting in the study looking at files from previous years, while Gongsun Ce was figuring out how many tiles Bai Yutang and Shangfang Zhanzhao had trampled in the martial arts competition.

Well, the money for repairing the house was deducted from Zhanwei's salary, that's fine, it was decided like this, I'm so smart.

"Ah Chih", Zhan Zhao rubbed his red nose from the cold, "Who is talking about me?"

"Knowing that it's cold outside, you cat still don't stay in the house?" A slightly annoyed voice came from the roof, and Bai Yutang came with his hot daughter Hong Tingxue in his hand, as if he had been exiled to the world.

After entering the room to put down the drink, Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao in from the yard.Covering Zhan Zhao's hands that were as cold as ice lumps with both hands, he reprimanded lightly: "You cat is naturally more afraid of the cold than others, and you dare to wear so little to hide outside! Do you want to freeze the cat's paws to be reconciled?" ? Master Wu went out for a trip, his hands are warmer than yours, are you ashamed?!"

Satisfied, Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang to cover his hand, but he didn't notice the ambiguity and inappropriateness in it—maybe it was because he was used to watching the heavy interaction between the two of them every day.Feeling the warmth of Bai Yutang's palm, Zhan Zhao's cat eyes narrowed comfortably -- a lazy cat after basking in the sun in the afternoon.

"Yutang, I just went outside for a walk."

"Hmph!" Bai Yutang snorted softly, and then let go of Zhan Zhao's hand until it was almost as warm as his own.

Stretching out his hand to uncover the wine seal, the room was instantly wafted by the aroma of wine, making it feel warm and comfortable.

The entire Kaifeng Mansion seems to be peaceful and peaceful, but there are always people who are not as good as they want.

night.

Chong Suchen pushed open the hall door and entered the brightly lit hall.The man in black sat on the throne, staring at him solemnly, silent for a long time, and then murmured: "Ah Chen, when will you come back?"

"Ah Chen—! Ah Chen—!" The voice echoed continuously in the hall like a curse, layer upon layer, which only made people have a splitting headache.

"!!!" Waking up suddenly, Zhong Suchen slowly sat up from the bed, raised his sleeves to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, his face was already pale.

what happened……?It was this dream again... Since a year ago, I have had the same dream from time to time.It's the same place, the same people, and even... the same words every time!

That man in black feels so familiar...but he can't remember anything, damn it!

Rubbing the aching forehead, looking at the sky outside, he tiptoed around Shen Jingtong who was outside, got up and put on his clothes and got out of bed.

After confirming that Shen Jingtong was still fast asleep, Chong Suchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and left.

As soon as the door closed, Shen Jingtong, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, opened her eyes suddenly, and touched the empty space beside her, the residual warmth was still there.

Putting on clothes and getting out of bed, before going out, I extinguished the incense in the incense burner——Ah Chen, do you think that using tranquilizing incense can make me feel nothing...

Putting away the gloomy look in his eyes, a few vertical leaps followed Chong Suchen far away.

Demon Realm · Palace

"National teacher, what's wrong with Dust?" The man in black rubbed his forehead, his face could not hide the tiredness.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, since Your Majesty fell out of the Cloud Ruins, due to the power of the enchantment and serious injuries, his body and mind have returned to childhood, and even his memory and mana seem to have been sealed by unknown forces. If the subject did not Guess wrong, Your Majesty should be experiencing calamity this time."

"The calamity of life and death predicted by that old immortal 400 years ago?"

"Yes."

Hearing Bai Fengche's words, the man in black sat down slumped.

The calamity of life and death... usually people who go through the calamity have death and no life, but Achen... can he get through it safely?

I hate that this catastrophe cannot be overcome by external force. I am helpless in the devil world because of my will and powerlessness...

Covering the worry in his eyes, he raised his head and said to the white-clothed man standing below him, "Master, you go to the human world and follow Ah Chen. If there is anything wrong, report back immediately."

"Follow His Majesty's will."

Holding the salute with both hands, Bai Fengche slowly exited the hall.Immediately afterwards, he transformed into an eight-tailed white fox, with a tap of his front paw, he tore open the barrier and went straight to the human world.

...Your Majesty is going through calamities, so why not me?I heard that Junshang already has a partner by his side, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this love calamity.I am afraid that the ninth tail will never grow out.

Woods outside the city.

Wearing purple clothes to hide in the night, Chong Suchen leaped several times and landed under an old banyan tree.He raised his head and glanced at the dark woods around him, and said coldly, "Since we're here, don't come out yet!"

"Papapa", applause rang out, and a man in green clothes waving a green snake totem on his right face came out from behind the tree where he was hiding.

"Stop talking nonsense, what are you looking for?"

"My lord asked me to ask you, why don't you do it?"

"?!"

"Don't tell me you have no chance. You are living in Kaifeng mansion now, and Zhan Zhao and the others are not wary of you, besides... even if they guard against you, with your means, Bao Zheng has already given nine lives Already!"

"..."

"Or...can't bear it anymore?" The man in Tsing Yi approached Chong Suchen with a low smile, a green snake as thick as an index finger suddenly jumped out of the man's sleeve, and went straight to Chong Suchen.

Chong Suchen's eyes froze, he raised his hand, and a dark dart in the shape of a hexagonal snowflake flew out, trying to nail the green snake's Qicun.The man in Tsing Yi was startled, and hastily stretched out his hand to grab it, pulling the green snake back just at the nick of time.

"Liuxue Dart? Tsk, it's just a joke, you are really ruthless."

"Green Snake, there is no joke between me and you."

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business. Back then you chose Bao Zheng over Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao or Bao Zheng. Why, do you want to go back on your word now?"

"..."

"At the end of the year, both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang will leave Kaifeng Mansion, so take advantage of this opportunity. Don't forget, the bones of your elder brother are still in the master's hands!"

"——?! Ming, Bai, yes!" Chong Suchen said every word, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes were red, and the magic lines appeared, obviously extremely angry.I don't want to stay for a moment longer, step down a bit, and fly away with a flick of my sleeves.

"Tsk," the green snake looked at Chong Suchen's back, slowly rubbing the green snake's head with his fingertips, and said with a deep smile: "Xiaoqing, don't look at his promise, he has more eyes Yes. This time, I have to do it myself to be relieved."

Shen Jingtong in the distance lowered her head, took a deep breath, turned around and took a shortcut to rush back to the room before Chong Suchen could go back.

Ah Chen...you are hiding this from me...

A few days later, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang bid farewell to Bao Zheng and embarked on their way home.However, just a few days after the two of Bai Zhan left, Bao Zheng fell into a coma due to food poisoning.

"Mr. Gongsun, how is it?" Gongsun Ce took the pulse, put Bao Zheng's hand back into the quilt, stood up and stroked his beard, and said, "Although this poison is quite rare, fortunately, the poisoning of adults is not deep, and students have also been lucky enough to see this poison." Otherwise, it will be difficult for the students to deal with." After writing down the prescription, he ordered his servants to decoct the medicine, and then he said solemnly to Chong Suchen, "Young Master Chong, is this within the scope of the bet?"

"Well. I think your lord will not be in such danger again in the future. This time, I'm the one who got you in trouble. When your lord wakes up, I'll take my leave and leave."

On the roof in the distance.

"Tsk tsk, I originally wanted to stress that Suchen would not make a move, but now Bao Zheng will leave if he can't eat, but he didn't expect Gongsun Ce to be killed halfway. It's a pity that this kind of poisoning can't happen again and again, so we have to do it again I have an idea. Xiaoqing, let's go."

Wrapping the green snake around his wrist, the man in green took a deep look in from the window, then turned and left.Within a few breaths, the figure was gone.

Kaifeng House.

"Master Chong and Shaoxia Shen are going to say goodbye?" Bao Zheng stroked his beard, his dark face showing no expression.

"Well. These days, Jingtong and I have caused trouble for the adults, so don't bother."

"Those two go slowly, I'm sorry I'm not far away."

"My lord, if something like poisoning happens, are you really not going to call Zhan Weiwei back?"

"Mr. Gongsun, since the house is safe and sound, don't bother Zhan Zhan. Moreover, Zhan Zhan rarely has a vacation."

"But……"

Gongsun Ce frowned, bowed solemnly to the heavy two who were about to leave, and said, "You two young heroes, I have something to ask the students."

Shen Jingtong was startled, and quickly helped Gongsun Ce up, "What are you doing, sir? Why do you need to do such a big gift?"

"To be honest, the reason why the students are in a hurry to get Zhanwei back this time is not all because of the adults, but... the student got a divination yesterday, and the hexagram is very ominous. Zhanwei's trip to Changzhou this time may be dangerous. On this occasion. Zhan Wei is like a nephew to students and adults, and I really can't bear to see this happen. If you two have nothing else to do, can you go to Changzhou?"

"Sir, there's no need to be like this, just go with Achen."

"Thank you two young heroes for your help."
