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

After Zhan Zhao got the handbook, he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly met Gongsun and the others, and after they met, they went to the forbidden courtyard together.

On the way, Bai Yutang saw Zhan Zhao's thoughtful look, and asked him, "Why, did Zhao Zhen make things difficult for you?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head: "No, I just thought that I would go to the imperial court later, and I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to find it."

Gongsun said: "It's okay, looking for books is not a big use for you in the first place."

Zhan Zhao: "..."

When they arrived at the Forbidden Courtyard, Zhan Zhao showed Zhao Zhen's letter to the gatekeeper's father-in-law, and they were quickly let go. Went to the other side to find a book.Speaking of which, the forbidden courtyard is quite big, but it is very clean, and it is different from ordinary bookshelves. The bookshelves in the forbidden courtyard are integrated with the wall and piled up very high. There is a circular bookshelf in the middle, and the inner circle, In the outer circle, even the layout is different from the usual academies. Bai Yutang is still studying the layout, and Zhan Zhao has already started to flip through the books. Bai Yutang took a few more glances and asked Zhan Zhao: "Cat, are there so many books?" , are you going to find them one by one?"

Zhan Zhao put the book back and pulled out a new one, without raising his head, he said, "Otherwise?"

Bai Yutang leaned against Zhan Zhao's bookshelf, and put his hand on Zhan Zhao's shoulder: "Cat, it's the first time I saw you so anxious that you lost your composure."

Only then did Zhan Zhao raise his head, he was a little confused, so he had to look at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang shook his head with a smile and said, "According to your method, you may not be able to gain anything until tomorrow morning. Take a closer look at the layout here."

Zhan Zhao looked at the place indicated by Bai Yutang, and after paying attention for a while, he saw the doorway: "It turns out that the order of placing the books is particular, um... it is by dynasty, then by region, and finally by year. Is it divided? I understand, it will be much more convenient to find it this way..."

After he figured it out, Zhan Zhao began to look for it again. Bai Yutang didn't do anything, and just kept looking at Zhan Zhao quietly. Zhan Zhao devoted all his attention to these books, hoping to find books related to the double puppet as soon as possible.

After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the book for the substitute puppet. Bai Yutang knew that Zhan Zhao's time on duty would be delayed if he went any further. Zhao said: "Mao'er, it's time, you should be on duty, just leave it to us."

Zhan Zhao looked up from the book, and then remembered that he still needs to be on duty today. After thinking about it, he smiled at Bai Yutang, "I'll go and see it first, and if there's nothing wrong, I'll sneak over later to help continue to look for it. .”

Bai Yutang looked at him distressedly: "No need."

Just wait until I see you.

Seeing that it was really getting late, Zhan Zhao waved his hand and said to Bai Yutang, "I'll go first, so I won't interrupt Mr. and the others looking for books, you can say hello to them later, beauty, be good, I will definitely I will find a way to rescue you! Wait for me."

After saying that, he casually touched Bai Yutang's face and walked out with Ju Que.

Bai Yutang smiled and shook his head, this cat is really addicted to flirting.

Zhan Zhao walked out of the forbidden courtyard quickly, and when he looked up, he saw an unexpected person.

The man stood firmly on the roof, with black hair and black clothes, but was illuminated by the silver moonlight, and his whole body was bright silver gray. When he saw Zhan Zhao coming out, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he gently touched his shoulder with his hand. puppet doll.

Playing with his fingers, the doll seemed to open its mouth and chuckle there.

Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes, and couldn't help tightening the giant que in his hand.

"Devil May Cry Jiaye?"

The people on the roof smiled slightly, and looked at Zhan Zhao with approval: "I didn't expect Mr. Zhan to remember me, I'm really honored."

Zhan Zhao frowned and said, "Shangshu son Lin You was killed by you? Why did you kill him?"

Jia Ye replied lightly: "It is not a pity for this kind of person to die, and it is his good fortune to die by my hands."

Zhan Zhao saw that the man did not hesitate to answer, so he asked directly, "Did you make that puppet doll?"

Jia Ye smiled and said, "Yes."

"Why do you make Bai Yutang? Is that doll a stand-in doll?"

Jia Ye giggled twice, touched the puppet on his shoulder: "Gongsun Ce really knows a lot of things, but that one can't be called a stand-in doll yet, but it will be soon." He looked at Zhan Zhao provocatively, "You guys, there is no way to stop it..."

Zhan Zhao raised his chin slightly, and said in dissatisfaction: "Whether there is a way to stop it is not up to you, you have to ask about the sword in my hand!" At that time, Zhan Zhao only felt the air around him suddenly cool down, Jia Ye did not hide, but when the sword was about to approach, he suddenly disappeared, Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, held his breath, turned around and swung the sword behind him, Jia Ye Ye's figure appeared again, and he smiled slightly: "As expected of a royal cat, you can clearly know my position without eyes."

Zhan Zhao didn't say much, he swiped his sword but swept into Jia Ye's phantom, the phantom dissipated, and Jia Ye's voice was still lingering in the air: "Do you want to rely on the sound to determine my position? That's absolutely impossible... "

Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao didn't hesitate at all, just pierced straight with a single sword, and Jia Ye's body appeared, and that sword pierced into his left abdomen. However, to Zhan Zhao's surprise, Juque clearly pierced through Jiaye's body didn't feel the slightest stabbing sensation, but instead seemed to be stuck in a pile of soft cotton.

"So I guessed wrong, you judged my direction by the air flow." Jia Ye smiled lightly, completely without the embarrassment after being hit by the sword.

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, just as he was about to pull out the sword, he felt something strange behind him, he hurriedly flashed lightly, but his back was still lightly rubbed by the sharp blade, Zhan Zhao turned his head, and saw the puppet sitting on Jiaye's shoulder He was actually holding a short dagger, which was stained with his own blood, and the puppet smiled strangely.

Only then did he notice that the puppet on Jiaye's shoulder was no longer there, and it was silently lurking behind him.

Zhan Zhao was about to fight back, but found that the wounded place behind him was numb, as if tens of thousands of ants were devouring the flesh. For a moment, his footsteps faltered. It turned out that the dagger was poisonous!The next moment, someone supported his lower back, and a familiar smell came to his nostrils.

"Stupid cat, so careless!"

Zhan Zhao ground his teeth, suddenly a gust of wind brought coolness to his ears, he hastily pushed away Bai Yutang who was beside him, "Be careful, that doll can move by itself." As soon as he pushed away, the poisonous dagger flew from the two of them. Passing by, Zhan Zhao released a sleeve arrow, but the puppet flashed lightly, and flew towards Bai Yutang on the other side.

Bai Yutang also didn't expect the puppet to move by itself. Seeing the puppet attacking him, he took a knife to cut it off, picked it lightly, and then came to Zhan Zhao's side, and helped Zhan Zhao get off the roof first. To Gongsun and Pang Tong who have come out of the forbidden courtyard.When Gongsun saw Zhan Zhao's lips turning blue, he knew that the cat must have been poisoned, so he hurried to get his pulse, and it turned out to be true!As soon as Gongsun was worried about Zhan Zhao's poison, he ignored himself. Pang Tong, who was on the side, felt that something was wrong with his surroundings. He thought that the man in black was about to attack Gongsun, so he stood in front of Gongsun. Strange silver thread...

Pang Tong frowned, and just about to break free from the silver thread, the silver thread suddenly tightened. All of a sudden, his hand was cut with bloodstains by the tightened silver thread, and there was a "clang" sound, and the thread wrapped around Pang Tong's hand The silver thread broke suddenly, and Pang Tong took a step back, turning his head to look at the knife in Bai Yutang's hand: "Thank you."

Gongsun looked at Pang Tong: "Are you... injured?"

Before Pang Tong could reply, he looked at those strange silver lines and suddenly flew over again, this time, directly attacking Gongsun Ce!

"careful!"

But this time the silver thread didn't run away, it flew straight towards the puppet in Gongsun's hand, and within a split second, the puppet in Gongsun's hand flew out.

Zhan Zhao on the side became anxious: "Oops!" After saying that, he wanted to chase after the puppet, Bai Yutang grabbed Zhan Zhao, "You cat, give me peace of mind, I'll go!" Then he jumped lightly , that is to chase Jiaye, after Jiaye got the puppet, seeing Bai Yutang chasing him, he chuckled softly, and disappeared towards the largest palace in the palace.

When Zhan Zhao saw that direction, he became impatient and wanted to follow. Gongsun grabbed Zhan Zhao, "You don't want to die! If the blood flow speeds up, the poison on your body will be..."

Zhan Zhao said: "Shengsheng, the place Jia Ye went to is the emperor's bedroom, the emperor, it's there now... I have to go!"

Gongsun frowned, and after thinking for a while, he took out a medicine from the medicine bag he carried with him: "Take this first, and the toxicity can be suppressed temporarily, but you must not work too hard, do you hear me?"

After Zhan Zhao took the medicine, he swallowed it in one gulp, thanked him and chased after Jia Ye and Bai Yutang.

On the other side, Bai Yutang has been chasing Jia Ye, along the way, the guards in the palace also found the figures of the two, the palace was immediately under martial law, the lights were brightly lit, and the people below started shouting "There are assassins!"

Zhao Zhen, who was in the hall, naturally heard the movement outside. He felt strange that Zhan Zhao hadn't come yet. According to the past, Zhan Zhao would never be late, but now that he heard the movement outside, he started to feel a little worried Could it be that Zhan Zhao met an assassin, was injured or something?Thinking of this, he couldn't calm down. After standing up and walking around twice, he was about to go out the door, but the father-in-law at the side hurriedly stopped him: "Your Majesty, it's dangerous outside now, don't go out."

Zhao Zhen frowned, and was about to go back, when he suddenly heard someone outside say: "Master Zhan, why do you look so ugly, are you okay?"

Zhao Zhen didn't even think about it, he opened the door in an instant, and saw Zhan Zhao was waving his hand at the man, then coughed lightly twice, then turned his head, Zhao Zhen saw the color of Zhan Zhao's lips and eyelids It's not normal, Zhan Zhao was obviously taken aback when he saw Zhao Zhen coming out, he turned his head and said: "Your Majesty, don't come out, outside..."

Zhao Zhen didn't pay attention to what Zhan Zhao said at all, he just stared at Zhan Zhao: "Why do you..."

Zhan Zhao coughed twice more, covered his lips and said, "I accidentally got poisoned, Your Majesty should go back to the palace first, and it won't be too late to come out after my subordinates subdue the assassin."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Zhen wanted to help Bai Yutang. At this time, Zhao Zhen also saw the man in white who was fighting with the man in black not far away, but he grabbed Zhan Zhao's hand: "You have been hurt If you are injured, how can you go up to fight again and enter the palace with me!"

What he said didn't give him any room to refute. After being pulled twice, Zhan Zhao suddenly felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly turned around and slashed with his sword, only to see a few invisible silver lines being cut open. But it didn't break, and then followed the trend of the silver line, only to find that the silver line was controlled by the ring at the end of Jiaye's finger!

And there is not only one silver thread. Seeing that there are many silver threads that have already entangled the guards rushing forward, the entanglement is getting tighter, and many people have been injured. It seems that this silver thread is extremely sharp. If the source is not removed first , more people will be injured...

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao yelled at Bai Yutang: "Mouse, cut off the ring on his hand!"
