Jin Yuxing, a mouse and cat

Time flies, and the blink of an eye is fleeting, and the winter solstice of this year has ushered in the blink of an eye.

Near the deep winter, the sky is always gloomy, and a gray atmosphere spreads towards the sky.It was rare to see Yangguan for a few days, and the surrounding area looked extremely cold and desolate. The sycamore flowers in the courtyard had long since stopped blooming, and only large pieces of sycamore leaves were left hanging on the dry sycamore branches.

This kind of environment affects the mood a bit, but it will be fine to wait for the winter to pass.

Bai Yutang stood quietly on the corridor, looking at the desolation in the courtyard, with the cold wind blowing his face, his eyes did not blink, thinking: It will snow in a few days, the red plums in the house should be It's blooming, take the cat to see the new residence sometime, and live there by the way.

"Yutang." Zhan Zhao came from the corridor, calling his name with his red lips slightly parted, his eyes slightly smiling, like a pool of quiet clear water without waves.The light blue silk sash in front of his neck was tied in a knot, and he was wearing a crane cloak with lotus and green bucket patterns. Zhan Zhao held a giant que in his left hand, and a brocade cloak on his right arm, which was given to Bai Yutang.

Seeing Zhan Zhao approaching, Bai Yutang quickly turned his gaze away and walked up with a smile, "Cat, hurry up, Mr. Bao has been waiting for a long time."

Zhan Zhao handed him the brocade cloak, Bai Yutang took it and put it on coolly, then held his hand, it was slightly cool, but it made people feel very warm.

Zhan Zhao's pretty lips were slightly bent, and his big eyes were smiling at him, which almost choked Bai Yutang who just turned his head to look at him, "Cat." He stretched out his hand to stroke Zhan Zhao's side Cheek, thumb stroking his eyelashes.

Zhan Zhao couldn't help smiling and pushed him, "What are you doing so affectionately? Didn't you say that your lord has been waiting for a long time!"

Bai Yutang smiled, put down his hand, and slowly pulled him forward, "Master Bao went to see the Eight Sage Kings, and now he wants to talk to us about the King Xiangyang."

Zhan Zhao took a step forward and shook his arm, then nodded lightly, "The King of Xiangyang is already about to make a move, when the news will reach the ears of the emperor, I don't know what will happen then."

Bai Yutang frowned and didn't speak, he didn't know if the little emperor was really confused?Still pretending to be confused!All in all, no matter what happened, Mr. Bao took care of it, and he and Zhan Zhao would have to work hard at that time.

In the meeting hall, Bao Zheng had already changed into casual clothes and sat on the main seat. Gongsun Ce was standing on one side, and a young man was sitting on the other side. He was dressed in red clothes. , wearing a white Luo Zhongdan on the inside, and a large Luo material belt on the outside, it is also very imposing. Standing behind him is a child with a plain appearance.

"Mr. Gongsun, where is Guard Zhan and Guard Bai?" Bao Zheng asked with his head tilted.

"The student just sent someone to call." As soon as Gongsun Ce said this, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang appeared from the left side of the door one after the other, and let the latter enter the door together, "Lord Bao." The two bowed their hands and saluted .

The little boy standing behind the young man saw Bai Yutang, his eyes lit up, and then he had a smile on his face, calling out, "Fifth Bai."

"Yumo?" Bai Yutang looked up at him, and naturally saw the young man sitting sideways. Bai Yutang watched him approach, "Brother Yan? Why..." He looked curiously To Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce.

"This is the number one scholar." Gongsun Ce said with a smile.

"I didn't know that Big Brother Yan had already become the number one scholar? Haha, that's right, big brother is full of knowledge, and it's reasonable to be named on the Gold List." Bai Yutang finished with a smile, and pulled Zhan Zhao, "Mao'er, this is the last time I handled a case." At that time, my new sworn brother, haha, not bad."

Yan Chasan's face was half red because of Bai Yutang's funny words, he lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Fifth brother is still so chic."

Zhan Zhao stepped forward and greeted Yan Chasan politely. It turned out that Master Bao's new student was the elder brother Yutang had told him about.

"Master Zhan." This was the first time Yan Chasan saw Zhan Zhao, and he had heard the name Nan Xia for a long time, but he didn't expect such a young man.

Bai Yutang looked at the two of them and smiled, "Why are you all so polite, sit down."

Bao Zheng glanced at Gongsun Ce with a smile on his seat, then stroked his beard, "It's good that you know each other."

Zhan Zhao sat down next to Bai Yutang, looked at Bao Zheng, "My lord, what's the matter in such a hurry to call your subordinate down?"

Bao Zheng sighed and said, "Today the eight sage kings are playing, and the King of Xiangyang has the intention of rebelling. According to the news from his subordinates, many people from the green forests in the rivers and lakes have already rushed to Xiangyang. The possibility of being with the king of Xiangyang cannot be ruled out. There are also many Liao people found in Xiangyang City."

The following words were taken over by Yan Chasan, "Therefore, today in the Jinluan Palace, the emperor ordered me to inspect the nine counties of Jingxiang as an imperial envoy on behalf of heaven."

Bao Zheng looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang and nodded. The reason why the emperor did this was because Yan Chasan was his protégé and he could be trusted. Second, he himself had a reason to help him. He thought that as a scholar, if no one protected him, I am afraid that the road to Xiangyang will be difficult.

After hearing this, Zhan Zhao almost understood what it meant, and immediately stood up, "Master Bao, this subordinate is willing to escort you all the way."

"Subordinates too." Bai Yutang got up and said the same.

Gongsun Ce looked at the two of them and thought for a while, "You are all gone, so who will protect your lord?" Not to mention that there are often people who come to assassinate, the King of Xiangyang also regards your lord as a thorn in his side, not to mention There is also Pang Ji in Bianliang.

Bai Yutang frowned, and complained: "Master, why did they go to visit the mountains and rivers at this time, really." The eldest brother and the others are no longer in Kaifeng Mansion now, if they stay in the capital and let Maoer go alone, I must be worried, rather than wanting to follow secretly at that time, it's better... After thinking for a while, Bai Yutang said: "Master Bao, it's better for the subordinates to escort you, it's better for the cat to stay in Bianliang to protect you. "

As soon as Bai Yutang finished speaking, Zhan Zhao stared at him.

Bao Zheng waved his hand. He knew that the two people were worried about each other, so he continued to explain: "Mr. Gongsun, the King of Xiangyang also has some advisers, and the government also sent you to Xiangyang together. There must be no mistakes in this matter!"

Gongsun Ce replied: "Students will not disgrace their mission."

Bao Zheng looked at the two people who were still discerning, and said: "As for who stays in Kaifeng, you two can decide for yourself."

After the matter was discussed, Yan Chasan did not sit down anymore. Although the departure was two days later, he still had to go back to organize his things, so he left with Yu Mo.

After watching Yan Chasan leave, Zhan Zhao said casually, "Yutang, what are you and me doing going to Xiangyang?"

Bai Yutang looked back at him, "Then what are you rushing to Xiangyang for?"

Zhan Zhao had nothing to say, so he could only shout, "Yutang!"

This angry tone tickled Fifth Master's heart, I couldn't stand it.He raised his hand and climbed onto Zhan Zhao's shoulder, and said nicely as he walked, "Mao'er, honestly, is it because you don't let me go because you don't care about me?"

Zhan Zhao took his arm away, turned around and looked at him, "If you know it, don't go, and protect Master Bao in Kaifeng Mansion!"

"Why am I not so worried about you? Rather than you let me stay here and feel restless, and then rush to Xiangyang after I can't stand the suffering, you might as well let me escort Brother Yan from the beginning." Bai Yutang said anxiously, these words It's really all from his heart, it's better to go by yourself than to let the cat take care of himself.

Listening all the way from over there, one of the two came up with an expressionless face, and the other smiled enchantingly, "Zhan Zhao, just let Fifth Lord Bai go, Yingyi and I will follow along, and we will advise you in time if there is anything to do." on."

Zhan Zhao looked at them and hesitated to speak, Bai Yutang watched Hong Ling give Zhan Zhao a thumbs up silently behind his back, this guy finally helped a little!

"You are not members of the government, there is no reason for you to take risks." Zhan Zhao said coldly.

Hong Ling waved his hand, "I can't go back to Putuo Mountain Villa, and I don't have any place to go now. In the words of the white mouse, we have been living here for half a year, so we should help."

"That's right, Mao'er. They proposed it on their own initiative. Don't you worry about so many people?" Bai Yutang shook his arm.

Zhan Zhao was quiet for a while, glanced at the three of them, and left quietly.

The night before departure.

Bao Zheng prepared a practical banquet for them, Bai Yutang drank more, he didn't know if he was really drunk or pretended to be drunk, when he dragged Zhan Zhao back to the room, he staggered when he walked.

"Yutang, I'm leaving tomorrow morning, you've been drinking for so long, won't you wake up with a headache tomorrow?" Zhan Zhao asked, holding his elbow.

Bai Yutang squinted his eyes and smiled, pointing his index finger at him, "Don't even think about it, even if you wake up with a headache tomorrow, don't even think about taking my place."

Seeing his complacent look, Zhan Zhao pushed with one hand angrily, and Bai Yutang staggered forward and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand in time to hold him back.

"Smelly cat, you're scaring Master Bai!" Bai Yutang turned around and muttered.

Zhan Zhao smiled helplessly, stepped forward and passed his right hand under his armpit, leading him forward, "Stop talking when you're drunk."

"I'm not drunk!" Bai Yutang waved his hands in a big arc, "I've never been drunk in my life!" After speaking, he turned half of his body in a daze, and smirked at Zhan Zhao, "Except for you Only cats can make Grandpa drunk."

Zhan Zhao glanced at him angrily, thinking about it, he didn't have the same knowledge as drunk people, when he reached the door, he kicked the door open, helped Bai Yutang into the room, "lift your feet, don't be thrown by the threshold fall down."

The fifth master tilted his head, put his head on Zhan Zhao's head, listened to Zhan Zhao's instructions, and closed the door. Zhan Zhao helped Bai Yutang walk to the bed, "Stop messing around, I'll help you undress and go to sleep." Bar."

When taking off his clothes, Bai Wuye was still very obedient until Zhan Zhao took off his clothes and went to bed.He threw himself on Zhan Zhao's body like he was drunk, his watery eyes widened, "Cat."

The candles in the room were never lit, but Zhan Zhao clearly saw some white lights in Bai Yutang's eyes, and Zhan Zhao shouted, "You're not drunk!"

Bai Yutang rubbed against Zhan Zhao's body, put his hands on his shoulders, shook his head casually, and said, "I don't know either."

Zhan Zhao got angry and frowned, "Don't move, come down."

"Cat, I haven't touched you for a long time." Bai Yutang leaned his head on Zhan Zhao's chest and murmured.

The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched, and he became flustered, "Then... so what?"

Bai Yutang raised his head, "I'm gone, and I don't know when I'll be back, so you can't satisfy me once? Don't you miss me?" He winked at Zhan Zhao who was below him as he spoke. Eyes, why is this stinky cat so ungrateful?

"Don't even think about it!" Zhan Zhao supported Bai Yutang's shoulder, turning over and trying to pull him down.

The fifth master had already noticed that it was better to act than to be moved. He clasped Zhan Zhao's wrist with his backhand, lowered his head, and bit Zhan Zhao's neck.

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, but he didn't move, just biting the corner of his mouth lightly on his flat face.

Bai Yutang raised his head, feeling chills all over his heart, he didn't speak, his appearance made him startled, why didn't he let him touch it? "Forget it, you go to sleep." Bai Yutang simply turned over the quilt and covered him, and fell asleep with his back facing him.

It was very cold in the winter night, and the quilt under the cover covered the cold air in the room. Zhan Zhao looked at the back of Bai Yutang's head and was silent, then hugged his waist from behind, "Yutang, you must not go to Xiangyang now." Impulsive, if you have anything to discuss with Mr. Gongsun."

Bai Yutang was a little lost at first, but Zhan Zhao's words made him feel happy again. The cat still knows that he cares about me.The corners of Bai Yutang's mouth slightly raised, turned around, and put his arm around him, "I see, what kind of grandeur that group of rabble can make."

Zhan Zhao put his head on his chest, "Don't talk big, anyway, remember to be careful, you have to protect Lord Yan, don't just focus on doing it alone."

Bai Yutang flinched, looked at his face, and smiled, "Mao'er, is that why I worry you?"

Zhan Zhao rolled his eyes at him, but didn't speak.

"Okay, I've already sent letters to Xingkong Island by flying pigeons, and the four brothers will come over by then, if you don't worry about it, then come to Xiangyang with the fourth brother to find me." Bai Yutang put his Pressing his head in his arms, he said lightly, "Go to sleep."

No one was walking around at night, the Kaifeng mansion was empty, and the cold wind was blowing outside, giving a feeling of chilling.

Zhan Zhao hugged Bai Yutang tightly, and after noticing his flattened breathing, he looked up at his face, then kissed him with a "chirp", pressed the quilt on the back of his head, and continued to bow his head asleep.

Bai Yutang didn't open his eyes, his thin lips revealed a smile that he was suppressing.Cat, I will be careful, and I won't let anything happen to me for you.

In the morning of the next day, everyone got up early. Two official sedan chairs were parked at the gate of Bianliang City, one behind the other, and there were more than a hundred people standing on both sides of the entourage.Zhan Zhao led a snow-white BMW, followed by Bai Yutang, and led the horse to the official sedan chair. Zhan Zhao handed the reins to Bai Yutang, "Yutang, I'll take you here, remember that no matter what happens Let's talk about things after discussing with your husband!" Zhan Zhao repeatedly urged.

Bai Yutang nodded helplessly, you have been saying these words since last night, "You know, you know, don't worry." Bai Yutang leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Wait for me, when the time comes, you won't be able to Reject Grandpa."

Zhan Zhao curled his lips and pushed him, "When is it, are you still thinking about these things?"

Bai Yutang smiled and got on the horse, Yan Chasan and Gongsun Ce got into the sedan chair one after the other, Bai Yutang rode in the front on horseback, Hong Ling and Yingyi's horses guarded the two sedan chairs respectively.

"Cat, I'm leaving." Bai Yutang turned around and shouted.Zhan Zhao smiled and waved to him.

The imperial envoys started the road with gongs. Zhan Zhao stood beside Bao Zheng and watched the mighty team disappear.

It was troublesome to travel all the way, and every time I arrived at the county government, there were officials to receive him, so I don't know how long it was delayed because of the red tape of the officialdom.
