The Legend of the Royal Cat

In the afternoon of the next day, in front of the gate of the Xuzhou government office

"Master Zhan, looking at the sky, I'm afraid it's going to rain again. You'd better wait for the sky to clear before leaving." Looking at the dark clouds covering the sky, Xue Cheng was very worried.

"If you wait any longer, you won't be able to go back and report back on time. My lord called urgently, there must be a reason, so there must be no delay! Evidence and confession papers are wrapped in oilcloth. Don't worry, Zhan Zhao is used to the days of wind and rain." .” Zhan Zhao smiled faintly, and got on his horse.

"Master Zhan, Xue Cheng thanked Master Ma and all the people and refugees in Xuzhou! Take care of yourself all the way!" Xue Cheng clasped his fists.

"There will be a period later, take care!" Zhan Zhao clasped his fists in return, "Drive!" Dressed in blue, he galloped away——

After leaving the city gate, Zhan Zhao decided to avoid the official road and take the side road, and make more trips overnight.When night fell, pea-sized raindrops fell.After carefully checking the oil bag in the baggage, and making sure it was intact, Zhan Zhao put on his coir raincoat and bamboo hat and continued on his way.At night, the rain pours down, the road is muddy, the horses don’t stop, people don’t stop——

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning broke through the clouds, the rain finally stopped.Changing out of his straw coir raincoat, Zhan Zhao led the muddy and exhausted horse to the side of the road to graze some grass, and took out dry food himself, preparing to continue on the road after a short rest.

"Presumptuous! Come here, teach this young lady a lesson for this wild girl!" A woman's angry shout came from the corner of the mountain road.

Time is tight and heavy responsibilities are in hand. If you take care of these uneven roadsides, it is inevitable that there will be side effects and delays in the itinerary.But if someone is really bullying the weak, how can they sit idly by and refuse to save?That's all, let's look at the situation first, and then decide whether it is necessary to intervene.Determined to pay attention, Zhan Zhao tied up his horse and followed the sound to the corner of the mountain road.This is a nearly right-angled turn, one side is formed by the cliff, and the other side is facing the abyss.Zhan Zhao raised his eyes to observe, and saw a crooked-neck pine on the cliff a few feet above the ground, condescending, just leaning to the other side of the corner, it was an excellent place to watch the situation.

With a leap of concentration, Zhan Zhao landed on the pine without a sound. The pine branches trembled slightly, like a gentle breeze, and immediately became still, which was hard to detect.Hiding himself among the branches and leaves of the pines, Zhan Zhao held his breath to observe the situation below.

The winding mountain road was muddy due to the overnight torrential rain.A carriage ahead was stuck in the mud and could not move, just blocking the way.On the carriage, a woman in white wearing a gauze hat stood quietly.The breeze caressed, the gauze skirt swayed lightly, but the person was as cold and motionless as a jade carving.On the side near the corner, there are eleven fast horses.On the leading white horse is a girl in red with a long whip, and on both sides are sword-wielding warriors in black clothes.From Zhan Zhao's point of view, he couldn't see the face of the woman in red clearly. He could only guess from the girl's hair style and expensive headgear on both sides that she should be the daughter of an official family.The angry shout just now was probably her order.

Between the carriage and the horse team, eight men in black were surrounding a young girl in white, fighting fiercely.Shuang'er? !Zhan Zhao was startled, that girl was Miss Leng's eloquent little maid.The one standing on the carriage should be the goddess doctor.The eight men in black are all holding steel knives. Although their martial arts methods are not unique, they cooperate with each other tacitly and have a certain degree of advance and retreat. It can be seen that they are all masters.This reminds Zhan Zhao of the master secretly trained by the imperial palace—the shadow—a secret guard who is more ruthless and loyal than the shadow guard.It's just that it's too unethical for eight masters to besiege a defenseless little girl! ! !But seeing the girl named Shuang'er moving around, her figure changed very quickly, and her moves were weird and unconventional in Central Plains martial arts. All of a sudden, the eight masters couldn't get close to her. It seemed that the carriage was blocking the way, Shuang'er His knife mouth provoked the lady in red again, and that's why he made such a big move.It's just such a stalemate, there must be casualties, should I intervene?How to resolve this struggle?

While Zhan Zhao was thinking about the best plan, the girl in red over there had reached the limit of her patience, and said in a low voice, "A bunch of useless trash!" The red shadow flashed, and the long whip had already been pulled out, and she went straight to the carriage. Standing still on the ground is as cold as snow.Seeing that the whip hit her face directly, it was really dangerous, but that girl Leng remained motionless.It was important to save people, before he could think about it, Zhan Zhao had already flew away.

The blue shadow flashed by, and the girl in red felt the whip falter, before she could react, a burst of force came, the tiger's mouth was numb from the shock, the whip was released from her hand, and the person was taken off balance, and fell to the mud floor with a bang inside.Both sides of the fight stopped immediately.Two men in black nervously stepped forward to help the girl in red who was in a panic.

"Go away! A bunch of useless things!" The girl in red threw the two of them away vigorously, stood up shaking, wiped away the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and shouted angrily, "Who is impatient to live?! How dare you!" My lord—girl's business?!"

Zhan Zhao didn't expect the girl in red to have such poor internal strength. Seeing her fall so hard, he also regretted that the shot was a bit heavy just now.Just when she was about to apologize and persuade her, she saw the girl in red wiped her face casually, her words were choked up, she suppressed her tears but glared at herself angrily, so she had to hold back a smile, and bowed her hands and said: "Please excuse my abruptness. I was in a hurry and hurt the girl by accident. I am very sorry!"

"Sorry?! Sorry, if it's useful, why do you need Wang Fa?! Who are you to that ice sculpture girl? Why do you stand up for them?" The girl in red opened her almond eyes and refused to let go.

"You are an unreasonable chili girl. How dare you insult my young lady? Take your life!" He yelled inwardly that it was not good, shook the long whip in his hand, and the three silver needles were driven away from the direction of the whip, and they were directly nailed into the pine on the cliff.Such a powerful hidden weapon, a cloud of suspicion also appeared in his heart.

Brush——The man in black, who was eager to protect the lord, unsheathed his steel knives.For a while, the two sides were at a stalemate again, and swords were on the verge of breaking out!Zhan Zhao was dizzy for a while, sure enough, it was very difficult and headache to persuade the war between women.It's no wonder that every time a woman sues a woman, the adults will first send Mr. Gongsun to mediate, and avoid it if possible.well!Mr. Gongsun really worked very hard!Zhan Zhao sighed in his heart, but his hand didn't stop. With a wave of the long whip, he pulled Shuang'er away from the battle circle by the waist, and put him behind him——

"What are you doing?!" This time, the voices of the girl in red and Shuang'er pierced the eardrums at the same time.Zhan Zhao's head exploded again.Taking a deep breath, he smiled and said to the girl in red: "This girl, I have nothing to do with these two girls, just met once (sigh in my heart: one of them has never even met). But people in the world are in charge of the affairs of the world, so they can't stand idly by when they see injustice. As for the relationship between sorry and Wang Fa, I dare to ask the girl, if you bully the few with more, you are justified in gathering people to fight, so why do you need Wang Fa?"

"You!!" The girl in red was stunned angrily, and said with her fingers stretched out: "Do you know who I am?! How dare you be so rude to me!"

"I don't know who the girl is. I only know that the girl is an official. She is straightforward and forthright. She should understand righteousness and reason, and treat others with strict self-discipline. If I guess correctly, today's incident originated from this trapped carriage. I don't know Cai, I would like to help you. As for the conflict and misunderstanding between the two parties, I would like to ask the three girls to give in each other, and turn the fight into friendship. Just now I caused the girl to fall hard, and I definitely did not mean to offend, I apologize again!" Zhan Zhao and Yan said.

"You! I—" The red-clothed girl was depressed for a while, but she was so overwhelmed by Zhan Zhao's words that she couldn't refute.

From the beginning to the end, that Leng Ruxue girl remained silent and motionless.Zhan Zhao just felt puzzled.Suddenly a cold voice came through the tulle: "Master Zhan is so eloquent! Ruxue admires it! Since Mr. Zhan is willing to help, we will not be polite, please! Shuang'er, you step down!"

"Miss—he—is!" Shuang'er jumped out of the carriage.

Just take this opportunity to give her a try.Making up his mind, Zhan Zhao jumped out of the carriage, turned the sword and whip into one hand, and held the front shaft of the carriage with one hand, raising his energy.Seeing that the carriage was about to be pulled out of the quagmire, he felt his hands suddenly sank, and the carriage was pressed back into the quagmire again.Jack pendant? !The cold snow in the car is still steady.Good work!It seems that this is not an accidental misunderstanding!But since I have already intervened, I will never allow any party to commit the killing!Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, thinking about it.

Leaping up, Zhan Zhao suddenly struck Leng Ruxue's neck with one hand.Leng Ruxue was also startled, and had no choice but to turn around in a hurry.Zhan Zhao waited for this opportunity, raised his backhand, reversed the wind of his palm, and lifted Leng Xue's gauze directly.

The gauze flew up, and when the figures were intertwined, Zhan Zhao could clearly see the snow-white skin under the long golden hair, and his blue eyes filled with surprise and anger - in just a split second, the long hair covered up the shock. the face of the world.Bai Ying jumped up, and when he landed again, the gauze hat covered everything again.

Taking advantage of the situation, Zhan Zhao flicked his long whip, tied the carriage, flew up, brought the carriage out of the mud, and landed on the flat ground steadily, feeling restless in his heart for a long time.

"Master Zhan, good skill, good means!——the future will be indefinite!" The still warm voice drifted away, and Zhan Zhao looked back, only to see two snow-white figures had gone away.

Here, the girl in red and the man in black saw white and blue figures in gauze jumping up one after another, and there seemed to be a hint of golden indistinctly.Then the carriage flew up and down—what happened? !

"Girl, thank you for the long whip!" Zhan Zhao came to the girl in red and handed back the long whip through layers of guards.

"Hmph!" After reacting, the girl in red snorted coldly, grabbed the long whip, pointed at Zhan Zhao's nose and asked, "Hey, I forgot to ask you just now, how do you know that I come from a family of officials?"

"Judging from the girl's way of going out, her hairstyle and jewelry." Zhan Zhao replied truthfully, but her speech and temperament did not support this conclusion, Zhan Zhao thought to himself.

"Then why don't you guess that I'm a rich man's daughter or a son and daughter of a Jianghu?!" The girl in red asked unconvinced.

"Most rich and wealthy daughters don't leave the house, don't go out the door, let alone roam around on horseback, looking for a fight with someone who is domineering; as for the sons and daughters of the world, they rarely cry." Zhan Zhao thought for a while, Still truthfully answered this rather mentally handicapped question.

"Bold, do you know who you are talking to?!" The leading man in black couldn't help but drew his knife forward.

"Stand back!" The girl in red gave the man in black a white look, turned her head and said with a smile to Zhan Zhao, "Okay, your answer is half correct! Nosy hero, may I ask Gao's name?"

"Don't dare to take it, I'm Zhan Zhao." The girl's face really looked like it was in June, it changed so quickly!

"Zhan Zhao?!" The girl in red muttered, as if thinking about her memory.A man in black hurriedly whispered to remind: "Nanxia Zhanzhao, the emperor's own royal cat, the fourth-rank imperial guard with a knife."

Zhan Zhao heard it clearly, and couldn't help laughing, the emperor's joke, alas!

The girl in red over there laughed even more heartily when she heard that: "Oh—so it's a cat that only eats imperial food! Well, I'm not afraid of you running away this time, and I can always find you! If the women are in the lead, then their account should also be counted on your head. Let's slow-slow-calculate-hmph! Come on, let's go!"

"Miss, are you still taking the path?" the man in black bowed his head and asked.

"Of course I have to take the official route instead, and find a good inn to let me change my clothes! Do you want me to be like this all the way?! Not only useless, but also so stupid!" The girl in red got on her horse aggressively.

"Hey, Yumao, right? Don't forget the account between us! My name is Ling'er, remember it!" The girl in red smiled slyly after speaking, whipped her horse and led the team away.

One will have an indefinite future, and the other wants to settle accounts with me. It's really a failure to manage this nosy business!Zhan Zhao shook his head with a wry smile.Leng Ruxue, Shuang'er, Ling'er, who are they?The martial arts of the first two people are weird and profound, could it really be related to the murder case?I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future!It's better to hurry up, or it will be too late!
