The Legend of the Royal Cat

Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Zheng Study

"My lord, the Eight Wise Kings sent someone to send the arrangements for the Empress Dowager's birthday feast, please take a look at them." Early in the morning, Gongsun Ce got busy.

This book is not under the jurisdiction of the Kaifeng Mansion, and the Eight Sage Kings specially sent someone to deliver it, which must have a deep meaning.Bao Zheng took the copy and read it carefully: "The banquet list and defense arrangements seem reasonable, but there is a hint of weirdness. Sir, can you see what's wrong?"

Suspicions also gradually rose in Gongsun Ce's mind, and he analyzed: "Although there are heavy guards on the outskirts of the imperial city, there is no strong commander. All the generals are included in the banquet list, and they will be gathered in the banquet hall. If there is any change, they will be able to protect them closely. Even if the assassin enters the palace, they will not be able to get any advantage. It's just that such an arrangement is for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. It is safe, it may disturb Shengjia, if it is for the convenience of assassins, it does not make sense, so it is a little weird!"

"Mister's analysis is good! We still haven't figured out what the opponent intends to do! At present, we can only respond to changes with the same." Bao Zheng sighed, and then remembered another worry: "Chen Is everything okay with the old military doctor?"

"Everything is fine, but it's not a solution if things go on like this for a long time. Does your lord have any plans?"

"Sir, what choice will you make between the majesty of the royal family and the lives of the people with Zhan's character as a guard?"

"I'm a commoner—my lord is worried that the guards of Zhan will go all out and openly fight against the royal family?!" Gongsun Ce was surprised.

"That kid can definitely do it! I'm afraid that even if the Eight Sage Kings are reluctant, they won't be able to protect him—so, we can't let Zhan Huwei reveal the truth first."

"My lord means—" Gongsun Ce had already guessed Bao Zheng's decision, but even a lord would not be able to escape this disaster!

"After the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday, the government will arrange for old military doctor Chen to meet King Huai, just to accept this case!" Zhan Zhao must not be allowed to take any more risks.

Royal Residence, Nanjing Pavilion

"Oh—you two are so cool. You went out drinking all night and didn't come back, which made the three of us worry all night! Eh—didn't you go drinking? Why is there no alcohol at all?!" Ling'er, who was blocked by the door and asked the teacher to blame, began to sniff around the two of them, just like a petite and naughty kitten.

"Hmm—this—" Bai Yutang obviously forgot the lie he made up in order to get away, and was at a loss for words for a while, and turned to Zhan Zhao for help. How can he make up this lie?

If I forget what I said, who can blame it?Zhan Zhao returned with a look that Bai Yutang thought was flattering: Whatever the cause and effect, you can figure it out yourself!Turn around to avoid Ling'er's approaching nose, walking like a gazebo.

Heartless stinky cat!Bai Yutang shut his nose, then immediately put on a charming smile to face Ling'er, and said very seriously: "A real chivalrous man with high martial arts skills and deep inside will not smell a little bit of wine no matter how much he drinks!"

"Ah? Really? White mouse, you won't lie to me, will you?" Ling'er was dubious.

"Of course it's true! Everyone in the Jianghu knows it! If you don't believe me, you can ask Zilong." Bai Yutang solemnly nodded in affirmation, then walked around Linger and walked towards the pavilion, but when he turned his back to Linger, he had a ghostly smile on his face It's fleeting.

"Ah? Ask me—oh, I heard that it should be like this!" Neither side should be provoked, Brother Bai's fists are so hard!

Ling'er looked at Zilong who was in distress and Bai Yutang who was walking away, couldn't help laughing, patted Zilong and said: "Zilong, you were wiped out by that big white mouse!——Let's go, go Tell Brother Zhan about the Empress Dowager's birthday feast."

"Commander Wei and I are both included in the banquet?" Zhan Zhao was also surprised when he learned of Pang Niangniang's arrangement.

"Yes, you are still injured, so naturally you shouldn't be on duty!" Ling'er smiled innocently.

"I'm afraid it's the weasel who gave the chicken New Year's greetings, and has no good intentions!" Bai Yutang curled his lips and said, he has long been unable to see the various evil deeds of the Pang family. It's a good story for Jianghu.

"Ling'er, on the day of the birthday banquet, can you bring brother Bai and Zilong into the palace together?" Zhan Zhao is indeed imagining all kinds of possibilities at the moment, and Bai Yutang is right to worry. After thinking about it, there is indeed something wrong with this arrangement. .

"Okay, just pretend to be the maid beside me!" Ling'er said with a ghostly smile, the dead mouse told you to play me just now!

"Little Lingdang, I'm getting more and more courageous, dare to ask your Grandpa Bai to pretend to be a court lady?! Well, it depends on whether you can bear it!" While speaking, Bai Yutang has already attacked Ling'er with a catch.

"Oh, Brother Zhan, help me!" Ling'er yelled strangely, and scrambled around Zhan Zhao to avoid Bai Yutang.Poor Zhan Zhao was sandwiched between the two and became a shield to defend against arrows.Seeing this scene, Zi Ling and Zi Long couldn't help but smile at each other, and the little gazebo suddenly became lively——

The days that followed in Nanjing Pavilion were the world of a few young people. The warmth and tranquility were interspersed with lively episodes, and the liveliness was created by Bai Yutang and Zhao Linger, a pair of jade and flexible treasures.Every morning when they wake up, Zhan Bai and Zhan Bai will unpack their moves and practice swords. One will help Zhan Zhao to use his true energy, and the other will gain new insights during the sparring. Their swordsmanship and tacit understanding are improving rapidly; Zilong and Zilong watched and studied from the sidelines, and with their intelligence, they also made great progress in swordsmanship.After Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang finish their sword practice, they will sit aside and exercise their skills and breath; Bai Yutang will continue to guide Linger Zilong in the form of sword competition, but in the end it always turns into a playful chase. ——Nan Jing The pavilion was very lively every day, and King Huai did not interfere, and even Wei Bi did not step into the Nanjing Pavilion.

Finally came the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, Zhan Zhao's hand injury has healed in several cases, and he was able to overcome the heartache and move his true energy freely during the duel, Bai Yutang and Zilong's bodyguards were also dressed properly, everything's ready.When they set out, King Huai recognized Bai Yutang who was among them with just a glance, and gave a meaningful look at the young men, but he still didn't say anything in the end.

The imperial palace is magnificent, and the Fengyi Hall of Nanhua Palace is even more peaceful and magnificent tonight. The [-]th birthday of Empress Dowager Li is naturally celebrated by the whole country——

"Brother Zhan, look, the dancer brought by Taishi Pang! Although her face is covered, she looks like—" Zi Long, who followed Zhan Zhao, whispered.

"It's the female killer named Ziyi." Zhan Zhao had already noticed this vision.

"It turns out that she killed Ma Zhifu and planted it on my fourth brother! She is not small, so she came to the door by herself, cat, once the birthday banquet is over, this woman will be handed over to me!" Bai Yutang said fiercely.

"You can't act rashly yet. She dared to venture into the palace, and she has a plan. Brother Bai, you keep an eye on her every move. As long as she doesn't do something to our people, don't touch her. Let's see what tricks she has. How could you be with Grand Master Pang? Also, pay attention to the safety of the empress dowager and all the officials."

"Understood, put a long line to catch big fish! Leave it to me."

"Zi Long, you must protect the princess well. No matter what happens, you must not leave King Huai and the princess for half a step." Zhan Zhao finished his instructions in a low voice, and then walked to the seat beside Wei Bi, noticing that Master Bao was watching. For himself, Zhan Zhao raised his right hand, shook it, and smiled slightly to reassure the adults.

After the monarchs and ministers sat down, after some etiquette, Renzong signaled the official start of the birthday feast—the monarchs and ministers were all happy.

Amidst the singing and music, Concubine Pang whispered a few words beside Renzong. Renzong was very excited, and then nodded in agreement: "I heard that Grand Master Pang spent a lot of effort on celebrating the queen mother's birthday, so I found a dancer with beautiful dancing posture to be the queen mother." Congratulations! Let the queen mother and I and all the nobles enjoy it together!"

"The old minister obeys the order!" Pang Ji waved his hand, the music changed instantly, and the exotic atmosphere followed——

While everyone was intoxicated, Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Zi Long became more vigilant.I saw the purple wing gauze covering the face, the gauze covering the body, the graceful figure is full of enchantment and charm, dancing to the rhythm of the exotic dance in a different way——

This intoxicating music is heard by another person, but it is no different from the soul-inspiring music of the underworld. It is time to act—Ru Xue, dressed in a solemn white gauze, has already bypassed layers of guards and is lying outside the hall , just wait for the music to sound—"If the Holy Maiden misses this time, come back and collect the body for girl Shuang'er!" Recalling the cold voice of the Great Guardian, Ruxue sighed secretly, she should have sent Shuang'er away earlier .

"It's her! She's here!" Zhan Zhao frowned, feeling a chill in his heart. Under such circumstances, once Leng Ruxue showed up, she would be surrounded and suppressed. How would she get out of her body when her injuries were still unhealed?Could it be that for revenge, he would not hesitate to burn jade and stone together? !

Before Zhan Zhao could think any more, following Zi Yi's exclamation, Leng Ruxue fell to the center of the hall like a goose feather in snow, and the white silk fluttered and threw Zi Yi, who pretended not to know martial arts, to the side. Flicking his wrists and shaking his hands, a green cold light appeared, and he flew straight to stab at King Huai - a sudden change, everyone was shocked, but King Huai looked directly at the approaching cold light, neither dodging nor avoiding, that deep and calm gaze shocked Ruxue Even a little afraid, he has no fear, only those who are open-minded and free from guilt can truly be fearless!Mother, if you have a spirit in heaven, can you tell Xueer whether all this is right or wrong?However, there is no room for retreat, Ruxue suppressed the doubts in her heart, and pointed Biyou at King Huai's eyebrows——

Clang—a loud sound of violent metal collision, accompanied by cold light.Zhan Zhao's Giant Que and Wei Bi's Zijin Hammer were in front of Bi You at the same time, and the two fierce forces collided with Ruxue's true energy—she hadn't fully recovered yet, and Zhan Zhao's worries increased. On the first level, Commander Wei will not let anyone who intends to hurt King Huai be spared, and must help Leng Ruxue leave here.This woman must be a member of the Saintess Palace, she must not be allowed to hurt the prince, Wei Bi made up his mind, and the golden hammer under his hand has shown its murderous intent!

"Guard, guard!" Pang Ji yelled loudly, staggered and hid on the side of the empress dowager, the guards entered and surrounded the three people in the battle circle, but they couldn't get close, so they had to retreat around to protect everyone.

Bai Yutang wasn't worried about Zhan Zhao, the cat had no problem handling this situation.A pair of sharp eyes stared at Zi Yi who was pretending to be flustered and mixed into the crowd, pretending to be very similar, let's see what other tricks you have!

The assassinated King Huai seemed to be in a trance. The eyes of this woman were the same as those of the moon, and her fortitude was full of absolute beauty, mixed with hatred for herself. However, this young woman Not Yue, who is she?
