The Legend of the Royal Cat

Royal Pavilion, Nanjing Pavilion, Rooftop

Zhan Zhao sat alone on the roof, feeling the tranquility before the storm, thinking about new clues: Linger is the adopted daughter of Prince Huai, and Prince Huai has never married a concubine. Does this mean that Prince Huai has always been fond of Leng Ruyue? Knowing that he has a biological daughter who is still alive, will he choose to forget the hatred and let go of the past, and enjoy the family happiness in peace?Or did the relationship with Leng Ruyue make Prince Huai feel disheartened, disillusioned, or even filled with resentment?If so, I don't know if the power of family love is enough to resolve this resentment—no, it shouldn't be the latter possibility, it is impossible for a person full of resentment to love his adopted daughter with love, even if it is what he owes!The reason why Ling'er was made an exception and canonized as a princess should be due to the guilt of the Eight Sage Kings——

In the direction of the stables, a white dot flew southeast, attracting Zhan Zhao's attention, it should be - a gust of wind hit from behind his head, Zhan Zhao dodged sideways, and missed the slap in the air, Immediately, he turned and swept across Zhan Zhao's face. Zhan Zhao saw clearly that the person coming was a masked man in black. He turned his back and lowered his waist to avoid it again. Although the sword in his hand was not out of its sheath, it had already cut across the opponent's lower body.The opponent jumped over the dragon's gate with a leap, soaring into the air, and the wind of the palm struck down from top to bottom.Seeing the inscription on the back of the man in black's left hand, he knew that the next move was even more dangerous. Zhan Zhaojian touched his chest to block the wind of the palm, and spun the sword around, separating the man in black into the air. There is nowhere to move.After calculating the angle, Zhan Zhao suddenly withdrew his strength, and the man in black fell with the sword before he could stop. The ultimate move with his left hand had already been made, but due to the inertia of the rotation, the angle was deflected. The wind was blowing, and the masked black scarf had fallen into Zhan Zhao's hands—a flip and jumped out of the circle, and a burst of hearty laughter came from the night sky: "Hahaha, good! It really is the waves behind the Yangtze River pushing the waves ahead, the younger generation is awesome! !!"

"My lord?! Zhan Zhao didn't know my lord was here, so I offended you so much, please forgive me!" Seeing that the person who came was indeed King Huai Qiansui, Zhan Zhao hurriedly saluted.

"No need to pretend, you already guessed that it was this king, otherwise you wouldn't have kept your sword out of its sheath! Tell me, where did this king show his flaws?" King Huai looked at the young man in front of him with great interest.

"This subordinate is not sure, and the lord has no flaws. It's just that the reaction of the shadow carefully trained by the lord to such a movement is not defensive but defensive. Coupled with the similarity of body shape, this subordinate can speculate." Zhan Zhao glanced around. After looking around the dark corner, he smiled faintly, "My lord, the purpose of coming here late at night is not just to test Zhan Zhao's ability to observe and respond, right?"

"The scenery here is really different, just here, come!" King Huai looked around with his hands behind his back, smiled with satisfaction, and actually sat half-reclined on the roof.Two shadows flew into the room, arranged the food and wine in the food box neatly, and then retreated.

"My lord, this is—" Zhan Zhao always felt that there was indeed a blood relationship between Ling'er and King Huai, from a certain point of view.

"Sit down!—I just don't want Linger to be hurt for some reason!"

"——!?" This time he was really at a loss, Zhan Zhao sat down helplessly, "My lord, have you caught the eyeliner?" !

"The carrier pigeon just now, what you saw is the last message that this king needs from him. Commander Wei has captured him. However, according to this king's speculation, Wei Bi cannot capture him alive. In any case, tomorrow's The plan will not be greatly affected. Are you sure that only ten shadow guards will be able to protect the princess tomorrow?"

"If there is not enough chance of winning, the opponent will not easily make a move. Instead of spending a lot of trouble to protect the princess along the way, it is better to concentrate on protecting the safety of the prince and the hotel. After all, the enemy is in the dark. As for the safety of the princess, the subordinates are willing to guarantee the safety of the item, the princess , nothing will happen, please rest assured, my lord!" Before confirming Leng Ruxue's identity, it is not possible for Prince Huai to confront the Saintess Palace head-on.

"Okay! This king appreciates your confidence! It's getting late, eat some food, and go to bed early! You don't have to worry about your safety tonight." King Huai smiled, stood up and prepared to leave .

"The prince's military order?!"

"This king's military order is as true as a mountain, but it is also true that it is not effective when encountering Ling'er. This chapter is over!" Huai Wang smiled helplessly.

"The prince is a good father, and the princess is so happy, if the prince has his own daughter alive, he must be very happy too!" Zhan Zhao tentatively said.

Sure enough, King Huai's face changed instantly, his fists were clenched and then relaxed, and finally he said in a deep voice, "Zhan Zhao, what do you really know?"

"What does the prince want his subordinates to know, and what does he not want his subordinates to know?" Zhan Zhao remained calm.

"Do your part, don't meddle in other people's business! Remember, curiosity will kill the cat! Hmph!" King Huai suppressed his anger and walked away.

"Alas—" Zhan Zhao sighed softly, and sat down again. It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to break up housework, but King Huai's housework involves the lives of the common people, so he must take care of it!I don't know if I will see Leng Ruxue tomorrow, how can I confirm all the guesses to her?Fourth brother Jiang's case is about to go to trial, I don't know how the fifth brother is progressing——

Under the same round of bright moon, Kaifeng, the old gold and iron shop

Also on the roof, Bai Yutang was dressed in white and covered his face with a white scarf. He had just suppressed a sneeze that he was talking about. Hand it over to a man in green shirt.The man in the green shirt opened one of the boxes, took out a sword, and pulled it out of the sheath with a clang.Bai Yutang didn't look at it, but when he saw it, he was shocked - Juque! ?How could the sword of the stinky cat fall into this person's hands? !Could it be that something happened to the cat?No, what can happen if you are trapped in the palace?The question is, without the sword, can the cat use its claws now? !Bah, bah, bah, the association of claws reminded Bai Yutang of several destructive scars on his face!My suave and suave Bai Wuye has no face to face others, stinky cat—that black one, you wait!Bai Yutang thought bitterly.After inspecting the Juque, the man in blue opened another box and took out another sword—at first glance, it was the same as the Juque, except for the much inferior sword light.

"Gui Lijin, your imitation of this giant tower is far worse than that of the Fenshui Emei thorn!" The man in the green shirt sneered.Bai Yutang immediately became alert and listened carefully.

"This subordinate is guilty, but this giant tower is an ancient magic weapon. Even if this subordinate has great abilities, it is difficult to imitate it. However, if there is no such comparison, it should be no problem to deceive the pawnbroker or the like. "The hunky man knelt down and explained.

"Well. Your fake Fenshui Emei thorn has been salvaged. The three groups of people sent to intercept it have not responded yet. I don't know if they have stopped it. The Great Protector wants to ask you, if you come to the court, what will happen to you and you?" That Emei thorn, may it be safe to kill Jiang Ping?" The green-clothed man pressed the fake giant gate on Gui Lijin's neck while speaking.

"Master Qingbat, please report back to the Great Guardian. This subordinate guarantees that nothing will go wrong! The real Fenshui Emei Thorn has been properly hidden by this subordinate. When an official sends him to ask, this subordinate will definitely deny that he has ever seen Jiang Ping and his Fenshui Emei Thorn. And the imitation Emei thorn is not as worn as the real one, and it will not have any flaws. Please leave your life as a dog, and your subordinates can still serve the great cause of the Great Dharma!!" Gui Lijin's flesh is all in trembling together.

"If that's the case, I'll let you live first!" The green-clothed man re-covered the two boxes, tied them on his back, and turned to leave.

"Master Qingbat, this subordinate, this subordinate's medicine!" Gui Lijin prostrated and begged.

"It's not the time yet, it won't be too difficult, just bear it first, and after the matter is done, I will give you relief." Before the words finished, the figure of the man in blue was no longer to be found.

Bai Yutang glanced at the fat man who was still trembling, and thought: This Gui Lijin is just a shameless villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, let alone the owner of the temple who can run away like a monk.On the contrary, the man in the blue shirt might be able to introduce the so-called great protector to him, and the cat's sword can't be lost either.Determined to pay attention, Shiro shadow flashed and chased him out——

Kaifeng, Hall of Rejuvenation, Chamber of Secrets

"The blue bat hasn't come back yet?!" The copper-masked man had obviously lost his patience.

"Why is this green bat envoy just like his useless subordinates? Meat buns and dogs are gone forever? Hehe, Great Protector, according to my subordinates, why don't you send someone to help them!" The enchanting and charming woman in purple clothes spoke from the side.

"Hmph, no need, this trivial matter can't be handled well, and he doesn't have to come back to see me!"

Ruxue, who was sitting on one side, saw the sneer of the woman in purple with no expression on her face. It seemed that there was a big rift between the two envoys, Qing Bat and Zi Wing, who were beside the Great Guardian, and they actually made trouble like this!

"Don't worry about the blue bats. Tomorrow's action is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that cannot be missed! The Ruxue Saintess will not miss this time, right?" The bronze-masked man looked down at Ruxue with cold eyes.

"Great Dharma Protector, Ruxue still has some doubts. I don't know if I should speak or not?" Ruxue returned the same cold gaze.

"Oh? Humph, let's hear it!"

"Since the target of our revenge this time is King Huai Zhao Defeng, why not wait for the opportunity to assassinate directly? Why bother to kidnap Princess Huaishuo so much?"

"The Holy Maiden's words are wrong! How can someone who opposes my Holy Maiden Palace die and apologize? Hehe, we want him to experience all the pain in the world. He treasures Ling'er the most, so take Zhao Ling'er away from him." Go, let him watch helplessly but can do nothing, let him fall into despair step by step—haha, what a delightful revenge! Happy and happy? Family happiness? Hmph—Why should he enjoy it?!” The copper-masked man stood up angrily, He walked around behind Ruxue, stroking Ruxue's blond hair, leaned over and whispered, "—what's more, it will be Zhan Zhao who will protect Zhao Ling'er tomorrow, should the saint herself kill him to rectify the canon? Girl, don't you feel so soft-hearted that you can't do anything?"

"Thank you, Great Protector, for your reminder! ——Purple Wing Messenger, order [-] people to follow me! Shuang'er, let's go!" Ruxue stood up suddenly and left straight away!

"Yes—huh, this girl has not yet sat on the throne of the palace lord, she is so arrogant, she doesn't take you seriously, the guardian!" Seeing Ruxue leading Shuang'er out of the secret room, Zi Yi turned to Tong Tong. The face person said flatteringly.

"Purple Wing, take good care of the saint! Go!" The mood of the copper-masked man was not affected.

"Yes, please don't worry, Great Protector!" With a wicked smile, Zi Yi retreated.

"The heaven and earth net!" With an order, in the dark corner, four men in black jumped into the secret room hall, bowing their heads to listen to the order.

"Take your black gold net and help the saint secretly! Treat the cat master who has lost the giant gate well—go!" With a wave of his sleeves, the hall was empty——

"Meow—" At some point, the black cat mother turned to the roof protected by Zhan Zhao, and greeted Zhan Zhao.

"You and I are really destined!" Zhan Zhao looked back at her and smiled faintly, "Thank you for letting go of the baby and coming to spend a sleepless night with me again——well, we are friends, what will we call you in the future? ?—Hei Wa, are you okay?"

"Meow--" the black cat rubbed against Zhan Zhao's side, and happily barked twice, expressing its agreement.

"Hehe, the prince brought a lot of delicious food today, including fish! Hei Wa, let's take it back for Xiao Hei to eat!" Zhan Zhao opened the food box and said.

"Meow—" Hei Wa jumped onto the lid of the food box, wagging her tail leisurely, staring at Zhan Zhao with her dark eyes.

Zhan Zhao turned his head and looked at Hei Wa, and his gaze was attracted by the rhythmically and nimbly wagging tail, "What's the matter? Don't worry, you should be fine tonight! ——There will be a tough battle tomorrow—" Plop—— Before he finished speaking, Zhan Zhao was already lying on the roof and fell into a deep sleep, but his brows gradually wrinkled, and he became restless like a terrible nightmare.

Hei Wa jumped into Zhan Zhao's arms, settled into a comfortable position, and lay down close to Zhan Zhao's chest. Gradually, Zhan Zhao's brows relaxed, his breathing became more and more stable, and he finally fell asleep peacefully. ——
