The Legend of the Royal Cat

Royal Residence, Nanjing Pavilion

The first ray of sunlight in the morning fell on the roof as expected, soft and slightly cool——

Zhan Zhao covered the sunlight in front of his eyes with his hands, suddenly realized something, opened his eyes and sat up, only to realize that he had fallen asleep on the roof, and slept soundly, and felt refreshed in the morning Doubling!After the prince left last night, did he just fall asleep like this?The food box was still placed on the ridge of the roof, and it hadn't been touched much, only the sweet and sour carp was missing. It seemed that Hei Wa had been here.Heiwa?When did I name that black cat mother?I haven't closed my eyes for a long time, and I feel a little confused after this sleep! "Heh—could it be that even Nightmare knew that there was a fierce battle today and retreated temporarily?" Zhan Zhao shook his head and sighed, turned over and jumped down to the courtyard, went back to his room to freshen up, and was about to escort the princess to Daxiangguo Temple.

According to Zhan Zhao's arrangement, the princess should not be ostentatious today, only a carriage is prepared, Zi Ling takes care of the princess in the car, and the ten shadows that Zhan Zhao named are all dressed up as guards, accompanying them as guards.

"Brother Zhan!" On the way, Ling'er raised a corner of the car curtain and called softly.

"We're going into the mountain road soon, princess, please put down the car curtain and pay attention to safety." Zhan Zhao slowed down and said in a low voice.

"Hmm-cough!" Ling'er coughed vigorously, expressing her strong dissatisfaction.

"Now is not the time when there are no outsiders." Zhan Zhao still carefully observed the movement around him.

"Cough—cough—" the cough became louder.

"Okay, Ling'er, stop making trouble! Come in!" Zhan Zhao said helplessly.

"Follow me! Brother Zhan!" The curtain of the car was lowered quickly, Ling'er retracted into the car, and the silver bell-like laughter of two girls came from inside the car.

The whole journey was uneventful, not even a few pilgrims were seen, it was eerily calm, Zhan Zhao knew that his opponent had arrived.Finally, Zhan Zhao heaved a sigh of relief when he safely arrived at the Daxiangguo Temple on the top of the mountain. The enemy did not attack along the way, so the princess's safety was more guaranteed!

Daxiangguo Temple

Linger knelt in front of the Buddha and prayed devoutly: praying for the prosperous Song Dynasty—this is the duty of a princess; praying for the well-being of the father and king—this is the filial piety of a daughter;

"Bodhisattva, please bless Ling'er's wishes to come true!" Ling'er muttered silently in her heart.

"Princess, it's getting late, we should go back too." Zi Ling stepped forward and reminded.

"Well," Ling'er stood up as she said, but felt dizzy for a while, and fell to one side with black eyes.

"Ah! Your Royal Highness, what's the matter with you? Show guard!" Zi Ling hurriedly hugged Ling'er.Zhan Zhao was always behind Linger, and at this moment he was also startled. He hurriedly stepped forward to protect the two of them, took a closer look at Linger's situation, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "The princess still caught cold yesterday, and the recent journey is exhausting. You will not be able to pass out. Let the princess rest for a while before setting off!"

"Master Zhan, the west wing is relatively clean, why not let the princess go to the wing first to rest." The abbot stepped forward and said.

"That's it, abbot. Please lead the way." Zhan Zhao nodded and said, seeing that Ziling looked at Ling'er who was sleeping unconscious, and didn't care about etiquette, so he had to hug Ling'er by the waist and followed the abbot.

Daxiangguo Temple, West Wing

"Master Zhan, this is the room. The old man is going to prepare tea for the princess."

"Thank you! Also ask the abbot to prepare a sarong, the princess should not be exposed to the wind when she is cold."

"Lord Zhan, don't worry, I'll do it now."

When the abbot came back, he saw Zhan Zhao guarding the door, so he handed the ginseng tea and gauze hat to Zhan Zhao: "Lord Zhan, how is the princess?"

"Abbot, please don't worry. Miss Zi Ling said just now that the princess is already awake. Please, the abbot inform the guards waiting outside to prepare the carriage and welcome the princess back to the mansion."

The sick Ling'er lost her previous mischievous agility, obediently put on a gauze hat and was supported by Zi Ling into the carriage. Zhan Zhao checked the carriage carefully before getting on the horse and ordering to set off.

Halfway up the mountain, two spruce trees blocked the middle of the mountain road, and the carriage had to stop.Zhan Zhao already felt the murderous aura permeating the bushes and forests all around was getting closer and closer, ten on the left, ten on the right, and thirteen in front, but the two of them were vaguely present, with extremely high lightness skills, forming a small half encircling circle.Two shadows have already stepped forward, ready to remove the spruce.Suddenly, ten black-clothed men jumped out from behind Yunshan, each holding a pair of silver hooks in their hands, showing a murderous look.

"Hold on, don't move!" Before Zhan Zhao finished his sentence, ten men in black jumped out of the woods on both sides of the carriage, equipped with silver hooks and ropes, and surrounded Zhan Zhao and the others in a fan shape.

Zhan Zhao saw that the visitors were not in a hurry to make a move, so he knew that the leader hadn't issued an attack order yet, or they were sure of victory and wanted to play a game of cat and mouse.The corner of the mouth is slightly raised, and the right hand throws the sword lightly, clang, the sword is already in the hand, the scabbard continues to rotate lightly in the air, and then falls to the side, with a clang sound, breaking the oppressive silence; the left hand finds the treasure bag to hide Fireworks held in hands—

"Cat, Mr. Gongsun asked my second brother to make a batch of contact fireworks. I have sent them to the warehouse. As a thank you, how about a competition with Grandpa Bai in the western suburbs of Kaifeng tonight?" Last year's Spring Festival, the white mouse Not being honest, he was actually trapped in the empty island for the festival, so he insisted on snatching the errand of evacuating the gophers and came to Kaifeng mansion to pester him to invite him to compete in martial arts.

"The fireworks were ordered by Mr. Gongsun, and you rushed to deliver them. Brother Bai's thank you is not on Zhan's head, right?" He continued to investigate the case without looking up, and got to know Bai Yutang very well. Now, I know that as long as I can withstand the soft and hard paws of the white mouse, I can find an opportunity to divert his attention and dispel his thoughts.

"You cat really has no conscience! I begged my second brother to order a special firework for you." Bai Yutang snorted dissatisfied.

"Brother Bai, I'm sorry to bother you. It's just that Zhan may not be needed, so I have to ask Brother Bai to thank the second brother on behalf of Zhan." Zhan Zhao raised his head and smiled, and then put Bai Yutang aside again.

"Guard Zhan, don't insult Mr. Gongsun's wisdom! Mr. Gongsun thinks it will be useful to contact Fireworks Kaifeng Mansion, so it will definitely be useful! Think about it, people from Kaifeng Mansion go out to catch a thief and investigate cases or something , How convenient and fast it is to have this contact! Especially you, Mr. Yumao, you always go into a tiger's den or a wolf's den or something, and there is no news for ten days and a half months! You don't think about yourself, but also for Mr. Bao and others Think about it with your heart?! Isn’t it?” The more Bai Yutang spoke, the more he felt a sense of justice, he took out a firework and stuffed it into Jin Zhao’s treasure bag, completely ignoring the black line on Zhan Zhao’s head, “Anyway, this royal cat You have to accept it, or you have to accept it. I have already told Mr. Gongsun, and reported it to Mr. Bao, and it was approved! From now on, the brothers in Kaifeng Mansion will be able to find you as long as they see these fireworks! Hehe! "Cut first and play later is the most suitable for Zhan Zhao. As long as Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun are moved out, Zhan Zhao will be defeated in all likelihood.

Ignoring the cunning and weird smile on Bai Yutang's face, Zhan Zhao raised his head and said after completing the inspection task, "So, Zhan Zhao obeys! Brother Bai wants to thank you? ?”

"Alright! —Wait, that martial arts competition—" Bai Yutang remembered his purpose after he slapped the table and applauded.

"Since Brother Bai has agreed to drink, the martial arts competition is naturally over." Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows and smiled, picked up the file and turned to leave.

"Smelly cat—you're pissing me off!" Bai Yutang yelled angrily from behind, "Hey, didn't you buy me a drink? Why are you running so fast?! Remember, the small box in the warehouse has a painting on it The one with the kitten’s head is for your exclusive use!”

It's just that for a long time after that, Dynasty Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu laughed strangely when they saw him. They didn't know what happened, and they forgot to ask after a long time when they got busy.And this special firework for royal cats, I never imagined that it would be useful one day.Zhan Zhao thought about it, and couldn't help but smile, what a white mouse that won't grow up!

The ten shadows were all well-trained and battle-hardened masters. Seeing that Zhan Zhao was waiting for them, they tacitly surrounded the carriage and showed their weapons.

"Since the three friends have been waiting here for a long time, why don't you come out and meet?" I hope it's her!

"Master Yumao, you have good ears! Hehehehe!" The woman laughed, but it wasn't her.I saw a coquettish woman in purple flying in front of the man in black, and when she saw Zhan Zhao, she smiled charmingly and unscrupulously looked up and down, "Hehe, what a handsome cat, no wonder—hehe, even I can't bear to kill her!" Woolen cloth!"

"Zi Yi, you talk too much!" A cold voice floated, and Bai Ying also came in front of his eyes, with blond hair and blue eyes, covered by a white gauze, followed by Shuang'er, who was Leng Ruxue.

"Subordinate, welcome the Holy Maiden!" Ziyi shut up knowingly, bowed her head in salute, but the corners of her eyes secretly drifted towards Zhan Zhao.

She is indeed the saint of the Holy Maiden Palace, but who is this frivolous purple-clothed woman?Now that the search has shown up, it's time to signal.

"Master Zhan, we meet again. Our trip is only for Princess Huaishuo, we will not make things difficult for others if we leave Zhao Ling'er behind." A pair of green eyes swept towards the carriage coldly.

"Yo, the saintess is really joking. Our saintess palace has never kept anyone alive. What's the matter today?" Zi Yi sneered at the side.

"Why, does the Purple Wing Messenger have any objections?" His tone dropped to freezing point in an instant.

"Don't dare, how could it be? This subordinate is just afraid that the Great Guardian will have a different opinion." With a sneer, his eyes signaled the man in black to just kill.

"So it's the Holy Maiden Leng Ruxue from the Holy Maiden's Palace. I'm sorry! Thank you Holy Maiden for being lenient, but this possibility does not exist." Zhan Zhao saw the situation in his eyes, smiled lightly, and the fireworks in his hand were gone. Straight to the sky.

The second the fireworks exploded in the air, everyone's expressions changed: Leng Ruxue, Zi Yi and the others didn't expect Zhan Zhao to set off fireworks to ask for help. Could there be an ambush? !Impossible, before the ambush, the mountain has been surveyed in detail except for the cliffs, and there is no ambush. Could it be just a bluff?In any case, it's time for a quick fix!Zhan Zhao realized the meaning of Wang Ma Zhang Zhao's weird smile when he saw the fireworks blooming, and couldn't help but secretly cursed at the stinky mouse!In the shadows, those with poor concentration couldn't help sniggering.It turned out that the communication fireworks dedicated to the five mice were changed to those dedicated to the royal cat, which turned the huge mouse into a kitten, to be exact, a kitten entangled in a ball of yarn and extremely embarrassed!As for this specific pattern, everyone in Kaifeng Mansion except Zhan Zhao was notified by Bai Yutang - the result can be imagined.
