Returning wild geese in autumn

Chapter 20: The Night Is Misty

Ancient sword!Definitely an ancient sword!

That fineness, that casting technique, that structure and style, based on his many years of appraising treasures, it is definitely an antique!Just looking at the scabbard and hilt, he was at least [-]% sure that it was real and not a counterfeit—at least the scabbard was definitely an antique.

The man in black raised his searching eyes and landed on Bai Yutang: Who is this person?I haven't heard of when there was such a person in the special group. Judging from the reaction of the person next to him, it seems that his status is not low.The special group hid him deep enough, and their intelligence network had no news about this person before that.

Uncle Kim Mao?Such a serious name, could it be a real name or a pseudonym?There is no reason for such a character who is like a sword out of his body to be unknown, or—look at his strange interaction with the person surnamed Liu—is this person not a special group?

He struggled with speculation over there, while Zhan Zhao had already told Liu Kun what Bai Yiping meant before.Liu Kun had no objection to this, turned to look at the man in black and said:

"We don't have a car, do you want to give us a ride?"

When the man in black heard this, his nose was almost out of breath: Is it over?Do you have to act as a free driver when you bring people out?

Liu Kun shrugged indifferently: "You don't have to see him off, we are all here, and none of us can escape." He gave Bai Yutang a sideways glance, and the meaning behind his words was self-evident.

Threats, shameless, fake tigers!The man in black sneered, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "...how could it be? Come with me."

After finishing speaking, he followed the shadow to lead the way to the hidden car not far away, and felt angry: You are too big, this time you are really too big!I thought it was just an easy business, and I came here alone without even calling a partner, but this is great, I was caught and couldn't leave.

Whether the man in black was willing or not, 2 minutes later his car was still full of five people, and he started the accelerator and drove towards the nearest police station.On the way, he also passed by a team of small motorcycles. Liu Kun sat in the back seat with his arms around a woman who was still unknown, and Zhan Zhao stood beside him, barely blocking the view from the outside.

Seeing their reaction, the man in black rolled his eyes in disdain, and didn't tell them that his car windows are all one-way, and the hair on the outside can't be seen.

Finally, they arrived at the nearest police station without any surprises. After the four got out of the car, the man in black drove away almost immediately, not wanting to stop for half a second.Liu Kun can understand his approach very well. People in the gray side never like to deal with the police openly, let alone enter the police station with the current outfit.

But Zhan Zhao was thoughtful when he saw Bai Yutang's meaningful smile.

After entering the police station, the rest has nothing to do with the two of them.Liu Kun dealt with the people in the police station familiarly, and took out his ID card - which he had recovered from the two people who had been knocked out before.Only then did he have time to wake up the client who had been in a coma and explain the current situation in detail.

Bai Zhan and Bai Zhan didn't care about these things, they knew too little about these things, and they didn't want to know.Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao: "Enough busy, go back?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine." Since the place is already safe, there's no need for him to wait for Bai Yiping to arrive.Immediately, he greeted Liu Kun, declined the other party's persuasion, and left the gate of the police station with Bai Yutang.

It was already early morning, and although the sky hadn't turned white yet, it wasn't as dull as it was before.The lights of the city are dim in the dark at night, and some 24-hour places have eye-catching signboard lights, which can be seen clearly from a long distance; there are also people who have just finished their nightlife, and cars drive by on the road in front of them from time to time.

However, after all, most of the lights are dimmed, and the stars in the sky are much brighter than in the first half of the night. Although it is far from the gorgeous night sky thousands of years ago, it can finally regain the feeling of the past.

Zhan Zhao took a deep breath under the night sky, felt the familiar aura of the person holding the sword two steps away, and couldn't help smiling:

"Brother Bai was willing to show up at that time, Zhan was very grateful."

Unexpectedly, the man suddenly opened his mouth, Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, and then snorted softly: "I want you to be grateful, I don't have time to care about you."

"Zhan didn't say that Master Bai was 'caring'." Zhan Zhao looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. The latter's handsome face was as proud as ever, but maybe because of the night, it was softer than usual. .Meeting his gaze, the man's lips and teeth parted slightly in a familiar arc:

"Stupid cat."

...Sure enough, the answer was not unexpected.

But such a person did something unexpected.

He reached out and picked a strand of Zhan Zhao's hair.

Such an action is really intimate, Zhan Zhao seemed to be bewitched, he couldn't make any reaction at that moment, he could only watch helplessly as he raised his hand and touched him, followed by a while of effortless pulling, and finally stopped , to flick off the sundries on your fingertips.

"It got on something."

Bai Yutang only said this sentence, then turned around, discerned the direction and stepped forward.

"Let's go, stupid cat!"

At that moment, the night was hazy, and something was quietly changing.

……

The police station is neither far nor close to their residence, and it takes about 10 minutes by taxi.But firstly, it was difficult to find a taxi at this time, and secondly, maybe because of the rare quiet atmosphere between each other, no one raised the question of taking a taxi, and walked back one by one.

"What did that man give you?"

After walking for a while, Zhan Zhao asked. Liu Kun didn't see the little movements of the man in black, but he saw them clearly.

"Numbers." Bai Yutang casually threw the ball of paper in his hand to him, not surprised that he would see it.

Zhan Zhao reached out to take it, opened it and looked at it, it was indeed a set of numbers, this length, it seems to be a phone number?

Leaving a phone number to a stranger is self-evident.Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Is he trying to recruit you?"

"Who knows." Bai Yutang replied indifferently. To him, these are just a set of insignificant numbers.Compared with these, he now wants to go back to sleep, or do something else, which is more interesting than participating in these disputes.

This weak era is really too boring.

Seeing that he didn't care, Zhan Zhao returned the note to him indifferently. Bai Yutang didn't even bother to read it, and just flicked it casually and threw it into the trash can beside the road.

"The two people you saved today belong to the imperial court?"

"Maybe, I'm not sure." Zhan Zhao gave him an ambiguous answer. He really didn't know the specific identities of these two people, but—"Eliminating the strong and helping the weak is what I should do."

Bai Yutang glanced at him, the corners of his mouth curled up as if he was smiling: "You cat, you keep talking like this, it's really boring."

Zhan Zhao also laughed: "Isn't that what Brother Bai thought?"

Bai Yutang was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "I used to think about why you entered the officialdom."

The word past is too general, and it sounds like a long time ago.Zhan Zhao slowed down and turned to look at him, but the latter did not look sideways, and said, "I have heard a lot about Mr. Bao's deeds, and I admire him as a man. I also know a lot about Nan Xia's righteous deeds. , it can be said that it has been a long-term friendship."

This is the first time that Bai Yutang has expressed his thoughts on Zhan Zhao in a straightforward way, regardless of the people around him, he responded in astonishment: "It seems to me that it is not right for a person like you to enter the officialdom and work for Mr. Bao." It can be criticized. But I don’t know, in the complicated environment of the officialdom, how many people can keep their hearts and not be stained by ink. You Zhan Zhao is just a person. Under the loneliness of being alone, will you Going with the flow? Ha, who knows!

"After I came here, by chance, I read the "Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses" which is said to be the 'source' of you and me. All kinds of things in it were indeed done by you and me. Although it is a bit exaggerated, but as you said, The difference is not far. The "royal cat" in that set of books is just "royal cat". '."

"Can't accept 'Zhan Zhao', or can't accept that person?"

Not long after Bai Yutang finished speaking, he heard Zhan Zhao's calm voice.He was annoyed in his heart: What kind of demon did he possess tonight?Saying these words to this dead cat, the cat must be laughing!

Raising his head, he found that Zhan Zhao was looking at him with a smile, and his footsteps had already stood still.He couldn't help being startled, under the moonlit night, those eyes looking at him were gentle and full of smiles, and the indescribable gentleness and beauty in the eyes, how could there be any hint of irony?He couldn't help being stunned for a while, and suddenly said: "Has anyone ever told you that you have a beautiful smile?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback by what he said, for some reason, he felt a little hot in his ears, tilted his head uncomfortably, and said, "You—" but didn't know what to say next.

Seeing him like this, Bai Yutang was refreshed, and most of his air returned in an instant. He walked a few steps quickly, blocked his way and tilted his head towards the man: "Huh? Shy?"

"..." Zhan Zhao glared at him angrily, "Yeah, I'm shy, who made a certain mouse suddenly reveal his feelings, Zhan is really at a loss!"

These words were really shy, and the warm atmosphere before was swept away.Bai Yutang suddenly sighed: "You cat, you really are a spoiler! Fifth Lord, I have never been so confiding in anyone, but you are lucky, you didn't react at all!" He said he was at a loss, and now he looked better than anyone else. All generous!

Zhan Zhao stroked his forehead speechlessly: The emotion mouse just saw him blushing?If you really want to say it's a sight to behold, who can compare to you, a mouse!

Just as he was about to defend himself, he suddenly felt the phone vibrate in his pocket, swallowed the words before, took out the phone, looked at it, pursed his lower lip and said:

"Bai Yiping."

This guy really finds time to call!

Bai Yutang curled his lips in dissatisfaction, but he didn't stop Zhan Zhao from pressing the call button, but his displeasure with someone deepened in his heart.Seeing that the residence was just ahead, he simply quickened his pace and went to open the door first.

The author has something to say: It's so beautiful... Such as, such an old-fashioned line, sir, don't your teeth hurt when you say it?
