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

Bai Yutang woke up with a dull pain in his shoulder, and just about to get up, someone rushed over and helped him sit up cautiously.

"Hey, Mr. Bai, it's still so early. If you are injured, you should sleep a little longer. Anyway, this is the Eighth Prince's residence. The high bed is warm and comfortable~ You can stay as long as you want!"

Bai Yutang was stunned for a while, then he remembered that after losing the martial arts competition yesterday, he actually fainted due to excessive blood loss, and was carried away by them seemingly in a daze, but why the Eight Princes' Mansion?

"Oh, yes, are you wondering why you are in the Eighth Prince's Mansion? In fact, I can't figure out what the old fox wants to do, but he said that he knows you and we must put you here, otherwise I will I will take you back to Kaifeng Mansion to recuperate, after all, Mr. Gongsun is in Kaifeng Mansion, so it is convenient to deal with any emergencies..."

Bai Yutang looked at the person who had been chattering in front of him, paused for a long time before saying: "I don't know the Eighth Prince."

"Eh?"

Looking at the stunned expression of the person in front of him, Bai Yutang suddenly felt that there seemed to be exceptions to the stereotyped stubborn and old-fashioned officials in his original impression, such as this Nan Xia Zhan Zhao.

Indeed, an interesting man.

After thinking about it, he said another sentence: "Also, don't call me Mr. Bai."

It's rare for him to open his mouth to a stranger, and even say more than one sentence, even he himself finds it strange. Usually, he doesn't even bother to talk to those people, but when he sees Zhan Zhao, besides wanting to be close, he just hopes to be able to It's even closer...it's also weird...

Zhan Zhao blinked: "What's that called, Young Master Bai?"

Bai Yutang thought about it seriously, and said, "Change."

"Fifth Master Bai? Master Bai? Master Wu? Young Master Bai? Fifth Young Master Bai?"

Bai Yutang frowned: "Others call me Shi, but it sounds awkward when you call me that."

Zhan Zhao said happily: "I have always heard that Chinchilla Bai Yutang is as cold as ice and unruly, but today I have seen it. This is not the legendary cold beauty, she is clearly a hypocritical mouse!"

Oh, this is the first time that Bai Yutang heard someone dare to use the word "hypocritical" to describe him, and it was in front of him. In the past, if a stranger dared to say that in front of him, he would basically have no way out, but Today, not only is he not angry, but he also feels... quite happy?I don't know why, even the injury on my shoulder doesn't hurt much...

"You cat, it seems that you are not weak in your oral skills."

Zhan Zhao said: "Seeing that you are in good spirits, I am relieved. I will take a dose of medicine first. You have lost too much blood and need to replenish your vitality. After you take the medicine, I will tell your brothers you It's okay, otherwise they will have to cut me off."

Bai Yutang said: "Those brothers of mine understand righteousness well, and we provoked this contest again. Swords have no eyes. Even if I die by your sword, they will not seek revenge from you."

Zhan Zhao went to fetch the medicine that had been warming Bai Yutang by the side, sat back next to Bai Yutang, stirred it with a spoon and said, "Okay, okay, you all have so little righteousness on the empty island, it seems that I, Zhan, are so-and-so Xiaojiazi is angry, come here, fifth master, I will wait for you to take medicine."

"No need." After saying that, Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to pick it up, but the wound was involved, causing him to frown in pain.

Zhan Zhao smiled and took a clean silk handkerchief and put it under Bai Yutang's neck, and said, "Fifth Master, give me a chance to make it up to you!"

Bai Yutang looked helplessly at the handkerchief around his neck: "You cat, don't you think I'm a three-year-old?"

Zhan Zhao fed a spoonful and handed it over: "Fifth Master was joking, which three-year-old child can grow so beautiful, come, drink this medicine while it's hot."

"Let's compete again some other day." Bai Yutang took a sip of the medicine as he spoke, and after taking this sip, he had a bitter expression on his face. When Zhan Zhao handed over the second sip, he couldn't help but say, "Cat , this medicine is too bitter."

Zhan Zhao immediately changed his serious expression: "Be good, good medicine tastes bitter."

After speaking, I fed another big spoonful.

So the two of them had to eat spoonful after spoonful, until someone coughed at the door, and Zhan Zhao turned around: "Eighth Prince..."

The Eighth Sage King looked at the door and smiled slightly: "It seems that this king came at a bad time..."

Only now did Bai Yutang see the person at the door clearly!

"It's you!"

Isn't this the Eighth Master who encouraged him to pick Yumao at his brother's back then!So he is the Eight Sage Kings? !

Zhan Zhao originally wanted to salute, but when he heard Bai Yutang's "It's you", he immediately turned his head and asked, "Know you?"

Bai Yutang looked at the Eight Sage Kings, then at Zhan Zhao, and spit out four words for a long time: "The one who caused the evil."

Seeing that Bai Yutang recognized him, the Eighth Sage King burst into laughter: "That's right, that's not bad, it's my honor that Young Xia Bai still recognizes me."

Zhan Zhao didn't know why at first, but when he heard what Bai Yutang said about the instigator, and when he thought about the character of the Eight Sage Kings, he understood a thing or two, and thought, I said this old fox suddenly cared about some kind of Yu Ruyi for no reason. , Sure enough, there are other plans, but this is also good, since the old fox is the one who started it, let him clean up the mess left by the Five Rats in Tokyo...

Bai Yutang began to look indifferent to answering again. After the Baxian King walked in, he looked at the almost finished medicine in Zhan Zhao's hand and said, "Is it bitter?"

Bai Yutang didn't speak, Zhan Zhao nodded.

The Eighth Sage King found a stool to sit down, and then asked: "Hey, the medicine is so bitter, why do we still have to finish the medicine after enduring it?"

Zhan Zhao replied, "Of course it's because good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease."

The Eight Sage King smiled, and continued: "Zhan Huwei is right. The reason why we know the medicine is bitter but can drink it patiently is because we know that the medicine can heal the disease after drinking it. will follow the cause."

The two didn't know, so they had to look at the Eight Sage Kings.

After a while, the Eight Sage King said slowly again: "However, when we do a lot of things, we often don't think about the consequences. Whether we do it in a hurry or are provoked by others, once we do things too impulsively, I always forget to think about the result, but sometimes you are not the only one who has to bear the result, or your family members or friends are involved, which is naturally not what I want.”

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang beside him, and realized that the Eighth Wise King was taking the opportunity to reason, so he kept silent and listened patiently. Bai Yutang frowned at first, but when he heard what the Eighth King said later, He seemed to think of something, but he remained silent.

"Lao Tzu once said: the crooked is complete, the crooked is straight, the hollow is full, the slender is new, the little is rich, and the many are confused. Do not go too far in life and things. It is good to restrain yourself and others in everything. It's better for Bi Lu to keep a low profile, both of you are peerless talents, you don't need me, an old man, to make it so clear, there are some things, you should be open-minded, just understand."

Zhan Zhao said respectfully: "What the prince said is very true, Zhan Zhao wrote it down today."

Bai Yutang was silent for a long time, and said: "It is true that I was impulsive. I don't blame others. It's just that my righteous brothers were implicated by me. If you want to punish, just punish me alone. Don't blame me. elder brother."

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, blinked at him, and said, "What stupid things are you talking about? If the Eighth Prince can't even handle such a trivial matter, how can he deserve to be the 'instigator', isn't he, His Highness the Eighth Wise King?"

Zhan Zhao's phrase "His Royal Highness the Eight Sage Kings" paused word for word, and the Eight Sage Kings sighed helplessly: "Look, I'll be responsible for the consequences so soon, alas, I've been ruined for the sake of Jintang." Heart."

Hearing Ba Xianwang's sigh, the two of them knew that although the Wushu incident was quite serious this time, but someone was able to settle it, they were also relieved. Bai Yutang felt that he had been too impulsive in the past. It seemed naive, and he was still embarrassed, but when he heard the name of his elder brother mentioned by the eight virtuous king, he suddenly felt that he had been put on by that incomprehensible elder brother again?

The Eighth Wise King stood up and said: "Young Xia Bai, you should rest first, you can live in this Eighth Prince's Mansion for as long as you like, ah, anyway, Zhan's guards will take good care of you."

Zhan Zhao echoed, "Yes, if you want to eat any delicacies, don't be polite to the prince, he is rich!"

After finishing speaking, he smiled and greeted the Eighth Prince and said goodbye.

The corner of Baxian King's mouth twitched, and after taking a step out of the room, he suddenly turned back and asked with a dazed expression: "I said Zhan Huwei, there is something that I have been puzzled about..."

Zhan Zhao blinked: "What's the matter?"

The Eighth Sage King folded his hands and asked in great confusion, "When you drink Chinese medicine, do you like to drink it slowly, spoon by spoon?"

"Forehead…………"

Zhan Zhao paused, he didn't expect the Eight Sage Kings to ask such a question, and couldn't help but look at Bai Yutang with guilt.

Well, he admitted that for fun, he intentionally made fun of this legendary iceberg beauty, but he didn't expect that the other party was so cooperative that he swallowed a whole bowl of medicine slowly... And, it seemed, it seemed, that he hadn't found out yet been rectified...

But this old fox isn't going to expose it on the spot!Hello!

The Baxian King made a thought: "This king is afraid of suffering, so he likes to drink the medicine in the bowl in one breath, like Zhan Weiwei, who drinks slowly one mouthful at a time, it is really... well, it has a unique flavor, special, special Ah~ It seems that next time I have a chance, I will try it too..."

After the words fell, the Eighth Sage King walked out on his own.

Holding the bowl, Zhan Zhao turned his back to Bai Yutang, and suddenly said to himself, "Hey, Lord Wu must be hungry. I'll go to the kitchen and help you find something to eat!"

Then he was about to go out in a hurry with the bowl in his hand, but before he could take a few steps, he heard the person inside the room yelling: "You black-hearted cat! Come back to me!"
