Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

"I bet on Brother Zhan." Zhao Hanyan said bluntly.

Dynasty and Zhao Hu cheered, as if they would win this way.

Zhan Zhao smiled happily, raised his glass to Zhao Hanyan, and thanked her for choosing to support him.

Zhao Hanyan also toasted in return.

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce didn't expect Zhao Hanyan to return so simply. They thought she was so popular that she would be a good old man and no one would choose her.

Gongsun Ce smiled and asked Bao Zheng in a low voice, "What do you think, my lord?"

"It's not a big deal to watch the excitement." Bao Zheng judged.

Gongsun Ce was taken aback, it was hard to believe that these words came from the mouth of the calmest Master Bao whom he respected.

Bao Zheng explained with a meaningful smile: "I'm talking about little brother Zhao, this kid is really a ghost."

Gongsun Ce didn't understand Bao Zheng's meaning at first, but when he turned his eyes and saw Bai Yutang standing up suddenly, proposing to compete with Zhan Zhao, he suddenly understood Master Bao's meaning, and then he laughed meaningfully.

Master Bao is right, little brother Zhao Han is very ghostly.Bai Yutang has a cold personality, if he hadn't been provoked a little bit, he wouldn't have drawn a knife to 'enjoy' everyone's martial arts competition casually.

At this moment, Zhan Zhao looked up at Bai Yutang who was challenging him, "Do you really want to compete?"

Bai Yutang cupped his hands and said to Zhan Zhao, "You don't hesitate to teach me!"

Zhan Zhao also got up, bowed his hands to Bai Yutang, and asked him for advice.

Zhao Hanyan sent Chun Lai early to get the bamboo poles, and while she was delivering them to the two of them, she asked Bao Zheng, "We'll learn martial arts, and we'll go as far as we can, right, my lord?"

Bao Zheng smiled and nodded. In fact, he had long been curious about who was more skilled, Bai Yutang or Zhan Zhao, but this kind of question was not worth asking. .Thanks to little brother Zhao's blessing today, this question will be answered, Bao Zheng is looking forward to it, and feels very happy that this can add to the fun when drinking and celebrating like this today.

Gongsun Ce's thinking was similar to Bao Zheng's, and he secretly bet on someone in his heart, wondering if the answer was what he thought.

"Come on, come on, buy it and let it go, who else wants to buy it?" Wang Chao Zhang Luo said.

"What's the point of just buying it? It's a lottery." Ma Han suggested.

"Well——" Zhao Hu, who was drinking, hurriedly put down his wine glass, and said to Chao Mahan, "Brother Zhao just made some dim sum, which is very delicious, crispy on the outside, soft, sweet, and salty on the inside, and it still rustles when you sip it. , I can’t describe it, but it’s delicious anyway. Why don’t you use this as a lottery, the winner can eat this.”

"You have a good idea, let little brother Zhao contribute, and you don't pay anything if you lose, and you get nothing if you win in the end?" Ma Han was more clever, and immediately exposed the unfairness of Zhao Hu's proposal.

"That's true, how about the loser who can just order Brother Zhao for a month, and be there whenever he is called?" Zhao Hu proposed again, and then looked at Zhao Hanyan to ask for her opinion.

Zhao Hanyan immediately said: "Okay, but it sounds like I am the banker, so how about this, if there is a tie, how about the banker winning?"

Ma Han and others agreed one after another.

"Okay, if we are won by the 'Zhao Zhuangjia', we will be at your disposal within a month, and we will be at your disposal without any complaints, of course, on the premise that it will not affect the handling of the case in Kaifeng Mansion." Dynasty spoke on behalf of the other three. .

"Very good," Zhao Hanyan asked Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce to testify for him.

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce both nodded.

Gongsun Ce asked Bao Zheng again: "Who do you think will win?"

Bao Zheng: "I heard that the casino wins in the end is the banker?"

Gongsun Ce smiled, and naturally understood that Mr. Bao meant to bet on Zhao Hanyan to win.Then I thought about the person I secretly set in my heart, and I was a little shaken, why don't I change it?

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, who were in the vortex of everyone's discussion, stood still in the courtyard with bamboo sticks, and after clasping hands together, they stared at each other. For a moment, the whole Sansi Hall was so quiet that even the sound of wind blowing leaves could be heard Clearly.

"I won't show mercy." Before the start, Bai Yutang made it clear.

Zhan Zhao responded with a smile, "Me too."

Bai Yutang nodded, seeing that Zhan Zhao was ready, he swung the bamboo pole in his hand first, and hit Zhan Zhao's vital point directly on the chest, so fast that he got close in the blink of an eye.Zhan Zhao immediately turned sideways, received the blow with the bamboo pole in his hand, and then counterattacked back.Bai Ying moved quickly, leaving only a piece of clothing in front of him.

So fast, people are behind!Zhan Zhao jumped forward, blocked the attack behind him with his backhand, his face was focused and stern, and his moves were vigorous and powerful.

If Bai Yutang's moves match his elegant white clothes, it can be described as "flowing clouds and flowing water", light and agile, but once he makes a move, it hits the vital point directly, and the move is ruthless.

Everyone has never seen such a wonderful competition, and they don't want to blink their eyelids, for fear of missing a wonderful move.

While watching, Zhao Hu compared a few moves to see if he could learn a thing or two.

Ma Han laughed and scolded him for dreaming, "This is a talent, you can't learn half as much as others in a lifetime."

"Then judging from the current style of play, if you judge again, who do you think will win?" Ma Han asked Dynasty.

Wang Chao observed cautiously for a long time, then shook his head, expressing that he really couldn't make a judgment.

"Why do I think the dealer is going to win?" Ma Han put his chin in his hands and said with a smile, "But in terms of moves, I prefer Bai Shaoxia's, which is more chic and elegant."

"He is good at martial arts and good-looking, so he is naturally powerful. You, don't waste your serious work for the sake of flamboyance, and you will suffer because of it when you go back to catch the thief." Dynasty warned.

"Why does it not sound good to you when you say something?" Ma Han frowned and glanced at Chao Dynasty in disgust, then continued to look at the flowing white shadow, "It's beautiful, it's really beautiful. If I were a girl, I would watch it now It’s a lifetime mistake! It’s okay, I’m a man, so I don’t have to worry about this.”

Fortunately, Ma Han finished his emotion, and from the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of Zhao Hanyan standing beside the oven.Ma Han hurriedly bumped into Dynasty, motioning him to watch too.

Wang Chao looked at Zhao Hanyan according to his instructions, and asked Ma Han what he meant.

"Little cook is very serious and focused. Who do you think he is looking at, Brother Zhan or Young Hero Bai?" Ma Han asked gossip.

"It doesn't matter who it is, but since he won the bet on Big Brother Zhan, he must be watching Big Brother Zhan." Wang Chao casually guessed.

Ma Han quickly checked the direction of Zhao Hanyan's eyes, and rubbed his chin suspiciously: "Why do I feel that the little cook is looking at Young Master Bai?"

"Bai Shaoxia likes the little cook better, and it was because of the little cook's words that he insisted on competing with the big brother." Zhao Hu followed, and said with regret, "Because Bai Shaoxia always went to find the little cook, which made me lose my temper." I don’t have time to go to the kitchen.”

"What?" Wang Chao asked puzzled.

"Afraid!" Zhao Hu said dejectedly.

Bai Yutang was such a food protector, if he went to the kitchen to beg for food from Zhao Hanyan, he would definitely be killed by his eyes.Originally, he was the only one who discovered the power of the little chef in the whole Kaifeng mansion, but his appreciation and liking were quickly lost in the love of the public.Because he wasn't outstanding at all, he couldn't attract the little cook's attention like Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao.The good brothers who deliberately spent time cultivating them are gone!

"Silly! Little cook is no better than us. Have you ever had less food and drink than you? Not satisfied!" Ma Han usually has a good relationship with Zhao Hu, so he naturally understands his mind of worrying about gain and loss, so he punched him with his fist His shoulders, let him stop thinking about it, "Like a bitch."

"Who are you talking about?" Zhao Hu said angrily.

"You!" Ma Han smiled awkwardly.

"Looking for a fight?"

Ma Han was fearless: "Come on!"

Zhao Hu rolled up his sleeves, glared at Ma Han, and asked Zhao Hanyan if he still had bamboo poles.

Only then did Zhao Hanyan withdraw his gaze, and turned to look at Zhao Hu and Ma Han, who were ready to go. They happened to have extra bamboo poles, so they sent them over with a smile, "I bet on Ma Han to win, Zhao Hu, play hard and let me lose." chant."

Zhao Hu's face turned red when he heard this, and he took a deep breath, his whole body was full of strength, and he burst into anger as soon as he took the bamboo pole.

Zhao Hanyan stopped paying attention to these things, turned his eyes and continued to look at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

The two fought for several rounds, exhausting each other's physical strength. They probably hoped to end the competition as soon as possible, so they both started to make big moves.

After half a stick of incense, the two people who swung their bamboo poles so quickly that they couldn't see their shadows finally stopped.

Both of them stood back to the position where they started the competition with great precision.

With a bang, the white jade rope hanging from Bai Yutang's waist broke and fell to the ground.

Everyone realizes the result.

Just as Zhao Hu was about to cheer that he had won, he heard Wang Chao over there say, "Show the belt of the guard."

Everyone looked carefully, and sure enough there was a belt on Zhan Zhao's chest.

"A draw." Gongsun Ce looked at Zhao Hanyan with a modest smile, with admiration in his tone, "The banker wins!"

"Huh?" Zhao Hu was stunned.

Wang Chao lamented, "That's all right, the four of us will have to do hard work in the kitchen for the next month."

"You two have worked hard, and you will get free egg yolk cakes." Zhao Hanyan was naturally happy to win, and said to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang with his hands clasped.

Zhan Zhao smiled and thanked Zhao Hanyan.

Bai Yutang stared at her, and when everyone was distracted, he walked up to Zhao Hanyan, and whispered a word in his ear: "Come back and settle the score."

Zhao Hanyan's smile became less natural, and he hurried to get some hot skewers, and then sent them to Bai Yutang.

Seeing this, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce couldn't help laughing.Wang Chao and the others are not stupid, they can all see it.

The little cook just won the bet against Zhan Zhao, and he completely offended Bai Yutang.Everyone knows what kind of personality Bai Yutang is, and in the next few days, someone may have a hard time.

Wang Chao hurriedly served tea to Zhan Zhao, "Brother Zhao has offended someone because of Brother Zhan."

Zhan Zhao took the tea, looked at Bai Yutang and Zhao Hanyan, and said apologetically, "Then you didn't win, did you disappoint Little Brother Zhao?"

"What matters is whether you let the water go or not?" Wang Chao asked in a low voice.

Zhan Zhao stared at the dynasty: "How to release the water?"

Zhao Chao thinks about it too, the two people's kung fu is comparable at first glance, and if they are negligent, they will lose, so they don't have the time to think about releasing water during the competition.

Bai Yutang ate the meat skewers and drank the wine he poured, but he still told Zhao Hanyan that the matter was not over.

Bai Yutang's heartfelt voice: Although the meat skewers are delicious, people should be intimidated.

"It's over, son, why don't you bet on a tie? What should I do if I offended someone?" Xiuzhu was a little worried, and whispered to Zhao Hanyan.

"It's fine." Bai Yutang couldn't be so narrow-minded, as expected, it was true from his heart.

"My lord, let's be more careful in the future." Because Xiuzhu didn't know what Bai Yutang was thinking, she just looked at Bai Yutang's cold and unkind face and felt scared.

Zhao Hanyan: "Hurry up and get the meat skewers, it's almost finished over there."

"Ah, eating so fast? How come there are so many meat skewers after eating a table of dishes?" Xiuzhu thought for a while, and could only come to one conclusion, "Young Master's craftsmanship is so good that everyone's stomach It has become a bottomless pit, and there is not enough to eat."

"I like to hear that." Zhao Hanyan said happily, and continued to grill the skewers.

On the roof of Sansi Hall, someone kept staring at Zhao Hanyan's back, and after a while, the figure of the owner of the gaze quietly disappeared from the roof.

Bai Yutang drank the wine in his hand and said goodbye to everyone.

……

Grand Master Pang's Mansion, Firework Pavilion.

The black shadow who returned from Kaifeng Mansion appeared in the study on the second floor.

On the sandalwood floor, there is a blue futon embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns in gold thread, and a golden nanmu stands in front of a guqin.The body of the guqin is black and shiny, and at first glance it is made of very high-quality wood.

The slender and fair fingers danced on the strings, as beautiful as a painting.

"My lord, you are indeed in the Kaifeng mansion, and you are serving kebabs to Bao Zheng and the others. It's quite delicious." The guard Wang Chen looked at the silent man in front of him, hesitant to speak.

The melodious piano sound stopped abruptly, and a cold brew sounded.

"Say."

"My subordinates see that the princess has a very good relationship with Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, and seems to be very close, but she is a woman disguised as a man."

"Heh," the jade hand slowly lifted to support the chin, the corner of the mouth was drawn into an arc, thoughtfully, "what's the trouble?"

"My lord, please allow me to talk too much, the dignified Princess Pingkang actually went to work as a cook in that kind of place, and--" Wang Chen suddenly covered his shoulders and screamed in pain, turning his head in surprise Looking at the dagger stuck in his shoulder, the wound was bleeding.Wang Chen looked at his master in disbelief, who was Pang Yanqing, the most beloved young son of Grand Master Pang.

"Who allowed you to talk? Remember, don't tell anyone about this matter, even my father, otherwise you are the only one who asks."

Wang Chen politely agreed, and then stepped back, clutching his shoulders.

After enjoying the banquet, Zhao Hanyan immediately exercised his power as a "banker" and asked Dynasty Mahan Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to be responsible for picking up dishes, washing dishes, and cleaning the kitchen.She stretched herself, and took Xiuzhu to bid farewell to them.

Su Yuerong had already moved out of the courtyard, but Bai Yutang didn't mention moving back.Xiuzhu was a little anxious, so she discussed with Zhao Hanyan and asked her to talk to Bai Yutang for a while.

Zhao Hanyan promised that when he returned to the courtyard with Xiuzhu, he happened to see Bai Yutang standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.The night is not good tonight, and there is nothing to see in the direction he is facing, but he doesn't know how he can stay there without moving.

Bai Yutang didn't turn his head until he heard the sound stopped.

"Haven't slept yet? That's just right, I have something to discuss with you." Zhao Hanyan said.

"It just so happens that I also have something to ask you." After Bai Yutang finished speaking, he swept towards Xiuzhu.

Xiuzhu resigned tactfully.

"Who the hell are you?"

Zhao Hanyan was stunned for a moment, and his heart was raised, but he was still in danger, "I don't understand what you mean."

"Don't fool me like this. You know who I am. Since you can ask such a question, you must be considered extraordinary." Bai Yutang said firmly.

"Tell me about how you identified it." Zhao Hanyan tentatively asked Bai Yutang.

"Today in Sansi Hall, there are people on the roof who have been staring at you."

Zhao Hanyan was surprised, "Is there someone on the roof? Look at me? When did you find out? The night is so dark, how can you be sure who the people on the roof are looking at?"

"I've been observing secretly for a long time," Bai Yutang said.

Zhao Hanyan recalled Bai Yutang's early resignation later, "What's the point of observing for a long time? Could it be that you saw it during the competition with Big Brother Zhan?"

Bai Yutang did not answer Zhao Hanyan's question, but directly told her that Sombra finally went to Pang Taishi's mansion.

Zhao Hanyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't think he had anything to do with the people in the Grand Master's Mansion. He probably came to monitor Bao Zheng and the others because of Pang Yu, "You ask me because of this?"

"No, there are others."
