Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

Zhan Zhao stared at the back of the Eighth Prince in a daze, "Eighth Prince... No, why did the Eighth Prince leave right after he arrived?"

"It's not that I just came here. Eighth Uncle has been chatting with me for a long time. I presume that you two are here and want to get some money for drinks."

Zhan Zhao said speechlessly: "He's a majestic prince, why don't you!" After saying that, he suddenly realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and coughed twice hastily.

Mr. Long saw Zhan Zhao's thoughts, and said with a smile, "When you go out, you don't pay attention to etiquette."

Zhan Zhao resentfully replied, "Yes."

The three of them were speechless for a while, but Zhan Zhao hoped that the Eight Wise Kings were still in this room, at least the atmosphere would not be so embarrassing.

After a while, Mr. Long gently scraped the clear tea in the cup with the lid of the cup, and instead of drinking, he just smiled and said: "Master Zhan hasn't introduced your friend to me well. Although I have heard of it in the past, I am still the first to drink it." See you in person once."

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, and thought to himself, why do you invite people to ask you so much!

"Mr. Long, this is Bai Yutang, the owner of the five islands of Zikong Island, my best friend." Thinking about it, Zhan Zhao still respects this Mr. Long, "Yutang, this is Mr. Long." This rat is so shrewd that he should already know the true identity of Mr. Long. In today's world, the only one who can call the Eight Wise Kings uncle is the one on the throne.

After the Baxian King left, Bai Yutang finally returned to his normal state. After listening to Zhan Zhao's introduction, he still felt that the phrase "best friends" was very pleasant to listen to. At least, it was much better than passerby A or ordinary friends. Thinking of this, Bai Yutang rarely gave a good face: "Young Master Long, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Mr. Long looked at Bai Yutang with great interest: "I heard that Mr. Zhan was against you in the past, and there are even rumors that you have a fierce cat-and-mouse dispute. If you didn't meet with your own eyes today, you would never have imagined that you two are so close. "

Just as Bai Yutang was about to reply, Zhan Zhao shook Bai Yutang's hand calmly under the table, and signaled: "Mice, you should know who this person is, so be careful..."

This cat is always thinking of himself, Bai Yutang is really happy in his heart, otherwise, according to his temperament, it doesn't matter if he is acting in front of him as the emperor!After thinking for a while, Bai Yutang replied: "At the beginning, I was young and ignorant, and I did some reckless things for the sake of emotional disputes. From now on, I also admire Master Zhan's broad-mindedness, and even more admire Master Zhan, who was born in the Jianghu, but served the country and the people. Since he has a chivalrous heart, he has the heart to make friends with Mr. Zhan, and fortunately Mr. Zhan ignored the previous suspicions, so he was able to turn hostility into friendship."

Zhan Zhao nodded silently in his heart, um, Bai Mouse's official accent is pretty good, I have to learn, maybe I can use it in the future!It just sounds a little fake, so fake that no one has the nerve to expose it...

Seeing Bai Yutang's demeanor, Mr. Long naturally knew that he was not a master who would tell the truth to himself, and somehow felt a little lonely. He knew the truth of being too cold at a high place since he was a child.Therefore, in his world, lies are always lies, and even if he knows it is a lie, he will not expose those lies...

Everyone put a mask on him, he didn't know what would be left if he took off that bright yellow robe.

Until, a few years ago, I met Zhan Zhao for the first time.

The young man leaping like a civet cat in front of Yaowu Building, the young man who would smile brightly at himself, the young man who obviously likes the freedom of the world but is willing to follow Bao Zheng to fight against the sky, that young man who is occasionally confused but extremely wise...

Whenever he thinks of Zhan Zhao, he will feel very warm in his heart.

Zhan Zhao's smile is clean and transparent, without any deceit or perfunctory, he loves to laugh, and smiles nicely, for himself who has been confined in the palace, that is really a rare luxury.

Yes, what an expensive luxury that is!

He was silent in his heart.

Because of luxury, so reluctant to destroy a single cent.

He wants to guard him, even if it's just every casual encounter, it still makes him wish to see Zhan Zhao's smiling face towards him.

But he never expected that the appearance of this stunningly handsome man in white would arouse jealousy in his willingly guarding heart.

It turns out that people's desires are always much more than what they want.

Obviously there are three people here, but Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang obviously have a lot of subtle exchanges and subtle physical contact. He is like a third party, unable to integrate into their world at all, even the one who has been smiling brightly at him all the time. Zhan Zhao, intentionally or unintentionally, was avoiding him, and instead opened up his heart to another stranger, obviously he knew Zhan Zhao earlier...

He looked at Bai Yutang in front of him again, such a rebellious young man, but he could be false to him for the sake of Zhan Zhao; I'm so envious that I can't wait any longer.

"Young Master Long, Young Master Long?"

After being called out twice by Zhan Zhao, he came back to his senses: "What's wrong?"

"Your complexion is not very good, is it because you are unwell?"

Mr. Long was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, picked up the teacup and blew on the already cold tea, and asked as if he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, who is on duty tonight?"

"Tonight?" Zhan Zhao thought for a while and said, "It should be Brother Luo Qi."

"Change to you."

"what?"

Mr. Long put down the teacup, looked at Zhan Zhao: "What, do you have something to do?"

Zhan Zhao hurriedly said, "There's nothing wrong with it, then I'll change shifts with Brother Luo Qi temporarily."

Young Master Long nodded: "Okay, you will guard the front tonight."

Hearing this, Bai Yutang's eyes turned sharp, but it was fleeting.

"It's been a long time since I went to Kaifeng Mansion to hear the trial. Is there any promotion today?" Mr. Long started to scratch the lid of the cup aimlessly again.

"Not today."

"Then Baoxiang is in the house?"

I always feel that Mr. Long is looking for something to talk about. Your old man is here. Can you still be in the palace if Mr. Bao is not at the house?Zhan Zhao had no choice but to agree and nodded: "Lord Bao is currently in Kaifeng Mansion."

"Okay, you lead the way, I'll go to Kaifeng Mansion to talk to Baoxiang."

So, Zhan Bai and his two brought Mr. Long back to Kaifeng mansion. Zhan Zhao regretted it a bit. Why did he choose such a time to go to Deyue Tower? Didn't he find himself another overtime job, and had to guard the front at night? ,well!He turned his head to look at Bai Yutang next to him, and saw that this guy's face was more stinky than his own, and his whole body exuded the aura that strangers should not enter. Could this rat be angry because he didn't eat a meal?

No, White Mouse is not such a stingy person!

"Rat," Zhan Zhao poked Bai Yutang, but couldn't help asking, "Are you angry because of hunger? I'll invite you another day. I'm really sorry today."

Bai Yutang looked back at Zhan Zhao, frowned and said, "No, I just found out that I have an extra troublesome competitor, and I can't do anything about him for a while, so I'm a little annoyed."

Zhan Zhao blinked, not quite understanding Bai Yutang's meaning: "Is there any opponent that you can't compare with Bai Wuye, and I, Zhan Zhao, will be the first to refuse."

Bai Yutang frowned when he heard that, "You really think so?"

"of course."

Bai Yutang seemed to be in a much better mood all of a sudden, he nodded, "Then I have a chance to win."

Zhan Zhao was at a loss, and always felt that the two of them were not talking about the same thing.

The three of them arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, and just as they were about to enter, they saw Pang Tong come out in a hurry, and happened to meet the three of them face to face. Looking back, I saw that Pang Tong's chief guard brought a super-large food box to Pang Tong on horseback.

Pang Tong stood there holding the food box in embarrassment, for a moment he didn't know whether he should kneel down in this scene: "Emperor... Your Majesty..."

Mr. Long waved his hand: "The king of Zhongzhou doesn't need to be polite, just call me Mr. Long here."

"Yes, Mr. Long." Pang Tong breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the little emperor was going on tour in disguise.

"This food box of yours?" Mr. Long stared at the food box in Pang Tong's hand with great interest.

"Ah, this is for everyone in the Kaifeng Mansion. My subordinates heard that Mr. Zhan solved another case during his vacation, so he specially brought some delicious food here. He wants to hear about Mr. Zhan's experience in handling cases."

Hearing the words, Zhan Zhao leaned over, opened a corner of the food box, and said with a smile, "Is that so? But I don't think there's anything I like in the food, it seems like a snack that suits Mr. Gongsun's appetite..."

Pang Tong laughed awkwardly: "Then Mr. Gongsun also went with you, I just wanted to talk to him, so as not to disturb you and Bai Shaoxia to investigate the case! Mr. Long, would you like to try it?"

That Mr. Long was not polite, and began to stir up the snacks he wanted to try in the food box.

"But I don't have a case today..." Before Zhan Zhao finished speaking, Pang Tong leaned over and clapped two fingers and said in a low voice, "There are two VIP seats for hot springs in the suburbs of Beijing. Leave me alone, Mr. Zhan."

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Deal!"

Pang Tong breathed a sigh of relief again, looked at Mr. Long who was slowly tasting the dim sum, stepped forward and said, "Mr. Long, how about it? This is a famous chef that my father just invited from Jiangnan. If Mr. Long thinks the taste is suitable, I can give it another day." I……"

"No, no, I don't like such sweet and greasy food." Mr. Long shook his head, barely finished the bite in his hand, "Take it to please your Mr. Gongsun."

Pang Tong was so flattered that he happily took the food box and went inside to find Gongsun.

"I didn't expect that the King of Zhongzhou was also in Kaifeng Mansion." Mr. Long looked at Pang Tong's leaving back, and changed the subject, "Don't guard Zhan like these sweet snacks?"

This King of Zhongzhou is the title given by Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen to Feixing General Pang Tong. There are not many people who directly call Pang Tong "Zhongzhou King" in the court, and most of them call him General Pang or Feixing General.

"I loved to eat when I was young, but later my teeth became decayed, and I never liked sweets anymore." Zhan Zhao recalled the experience of rolling with pain in both sides of his teeth when he was a child, and couldn't help touching his cheeks. The experience caused him to no longer dare to eat sweets after he changed his teeth.

"Then what do you like to eat?"

"I'm not picky about food, just eat as long as I can. If I have to say it, I like meat better, and the thick oily red sauce is the best." Zhan Zhao replied heartlessly.

Mr. Long and Bai Yutang at the side both nodded silently and wrote it down.
