red dust robbery

"Zhan Zhao, if you don't come out, Master Bai will break in!"

"Brother White"

Zhan Zhao left the inn, and within a few steps, he met Bai Yutang at the side of the alley, and the latter obviously followed him all the way: "I'm afraid you can't cope with this cat, so come and have a look, how about it?"

After all, based on the friendship between Mohua Village and Xingkong Island, if Miss Dingsan had an accident under his Chinchilla's nose, it would not be easy to explain.

Zhan Zhao glanced at him, without any superfluous expression on his face: "She's fine."

"Good over there." Bai Yutang breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt something was wrong, "No, Zhan Zhao, since nothing happened, what are you doing with a sullen face?"

Fifth Master had to think that girl was really kidnapped.

As soon as he spoke, Zhan Zhao paused and frowned, remembering the not-so-pleasant conversation just now, looked at Fifth Master's innocent expression, brushed off his sleeves, and walked away without saying a word .

"Hey, Zhan Zhao, what do you mean?"

The neglected fifth master was very dissatisfied, and followed all the way to the Kaifeng government office, Zhan Zhao remained silent until he reached the door, pushed open the door and stepped in. Not long after, he came out in a red official uniform.

The red dress, the jade belt, the hem of the sea ripples, and the mouthful of Zhan Lu in his hand, are handsome and handsome, with extraordinary temperament.

"Zhan Zhao, what are you going to do?"

Bai Yutang looked at it for a moment, but the person in front of him had already recovered the calm expression he had when he came here. He slightly raised the line of his lips to outline a nice arc, and slowly uttered two words: "Street Patrol."

Patrol... the street?

Bai Yutang looked at the sky above his head, and before he knew it, the sky had already turned pale, and there were clear and clear beeping sounds from a distance, no more, no less, exactly four times.

Well, it is indeed time to patrol the streets.

He spread his hands and let him out, but he still said: "Are you still energetic after not sleeping all night, and you need to be a guard to do it yourself for patrolling these few streets?"

"The remnant crimes of King Xiangyang have not been cleared up, and now the whole city is stepping up arrests. Zhan's responsibility lies, so he dare not slack off." Zhan Zhao passed by and walked towards the courtyard, but his footsteps paused, and he turned his face slightly and said, "Bai Brother, you haven't slept all night, why don't you find a place to refresh yourself."

Slowed down for a while, and said again: "If you have time, please help persuade the girl of the Ding family. Now that the city of Kaifeng is not peaceful, it is better to go back to Mohua Village for a while."

Bai Yutang heard him mention it abruptly, without reacting for a moment, the red dress had already turned around the corridor lightly.

Fanlou in Kaifeng is the highest restaurant in Beijing, the highest in the sky, the singing and dancing are full of romance, the sun is three poles high, it is the time of hustle and bustle.

Bai Yutang chose a seat on the side of the corridor outside the attic, with an excellent view, just overlooking the bustling streets of the capital during the daytime, with red makeup and spring riding, the stream is endless.It's just that the officials of Kaifeng Mansion have recently checked the city gates, and even the patrolling guards have doubled, which is a bit of a discount.

He poured himself a pot of Yutangchun, raised his head, and saw the woman in the light green dress coming up the stairs, and quickly waved: "Hey, sister of the Ding family, here!"

Ah Jiu looked over lightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, walked over and sat down opposite him: "Brother Bai, are you looking for me?"

"It's rare to come to the capital. I went to see Zhan Zhao but didn't come to see my fifth master..." Bai Yutang poured a cup of tea for her, and chuckled, "Girl, you are really kind."

Hearing what he said, Ah Jiu raised her eyebrows: "I heard from my eldest brother that a certain white mouse doesn't want to stay on Xingkong Island, but always comes to Kaifeng Mansion to trouble the cats. It seems that what he said is true."

"Fifth Master walks the rivers and lakes, where can the world go?"

Bai Yutang snorted coldly, but the woman on the opposite side smiled, and then suppressed her smile: "Fifth Master is in a hurry to find me, but is there something wrong?"

"I'm fine." Bai Yutang unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and leaned on the seat with a lazy expression, "It's just that the cat entrusted me to take you back to Mohua Village..."

Ah Jiu took a sip of tea and almost spit out: "Zhan Zhao?"

"What he means is that the Kaifeng mansion is not peaceful now, you should go home first, and as for some things, he will come to visit..."

"His meaning has already been expressed, but—" Ah Jiu tilted his head, "Why should I listen to him?"

Looking at her innocent expression, Bai Yutang shrugged, "I knew it was the result."

"Fifth Brother should understand me. I won't leave if this trip doesn't achieve my goal. It's just..." Ah Jiu paused, "What's going on in Beijing recently? Why is Kaifeng Mansion so hostile?"

"It is said that they are hunting for the remaining party of the King of Xiangyang... I don't know about the rest." Bai Yutang waved his fan and looked sideways at the officials patrolling the street downstairs, "But judging by this posture, I'm afraid it's more than that. Simple."

"Zhan Zhao didn't say anything?"

"Ask him?" Bai Yutang showed an unbelievable expression, turned his head and snorted.

He wanted to ask, but looking at Zhan Zhao's expression, it was clearly—"Bai Yutang, this is our government's business, don't interfere!"

Thinking of this, the young and flirtatious Bai Wuye downed a glass of wine bitterly.

Seeing it, Ah Jiu probably guessed what was going on, and couldn't help raising the corners of her lips.

"But girl..." Bai Yutang slowed down, and finally remembered his purpose, "Speaking of which, Zhan Zhao never lies or breaks promises, you can go home first, there is no need Spend it in the capital."

Ah Jiu chuckled: "I've been at home for a long time, and I'm going out to relax, won't Fifth Brother not allow me?"

Bai Yutang looked at her slightly cold smile, fell silent for a moment, and said abruptly, "Girl, you didn't sneak out, did you?"

The woman's light smile froze slightly.

Seeing this, Bai Yutang was even more certain: "If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid Ding Da and Ding Er don't know why you came out this time, right? And, if they knew, they definitely wouldn't allow!"

"Fifth Brother Bai." The woman's face darkened, "You're too meddlesome."

"I'm just entrusted by others, it's a matter of loyalty." Bai Yutang looked at her, with a playful expression, "You were also willing to get engaged in Mohua Village back then. In the past two years, Zhan Zhao has offended you in any way. To the point of breaking the engagement?"

Ah Jiu fell silent and sighed.

If she was still Yuehua back then, she would have had some good feelings for that gentle Nan Xia.

The heroic spirit between the brows is flourishing, the elegance and elegance between the manners, the appearance of a gentleman, and the gentleness of jade.

What's more, there is that unexplained sense of familiarity.

It was only later that she realized where that sense of familiarity came from.

In the past year, I have had nightmares almost every night.

The flying music and dancing in the fairyland of the Nine Layers of Heaven, the god generals wearing fiery golden armor, the bloody battle against the yellow sand of King Wu of Fengming Qishan Mountain, and the endless long night under Kunlun Mountain.

Thousands of years of time, those past joys and sorrows, gathering and parting, fighting and fighting... Memories from ancient times rushed in like a torrent, and my mind was about to burst.

And the white-clothed boy who Danshan turned himself into Shura day by day, finally became a mighty and arrogant god in silver armor and black cloak, and at the end of the dream, his body was loose and his face was blurred.

After waking up completely, she is no longer just Yuehua of the Ding family.

"People and things in this world will always change..." The girl in light green clothes stood under the carved beams and painted buildings, overlooking the prosperity of the world, she only sighed softly, her eyes were as deep as the sea, as if she had settled down The vicissitudes of the millennium.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Bai Yutang suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes.

He hadn't seen Ding's Yuehua for more than a year, but when they met this time, for some reason, he felt that there was a certain kind of lost aura about her.

Still as familiar as before, wise, quick-witted, aggressive, but a little more indifferent than before, and even the vicissitudes of time have been added to those eyes when looking at people.

She's obviously just a young girl!

Bai Yutang frowned, and was about to say something, but he saw the wind in the air tighten, a crimson figure stepped on the eaves and skipped in midair, a kite turned over, and landed firmly in front of an official sedan chair.

Ah Jiu was also startled, and looked up, but saw the man in red with a long sword standing tall, blocking the way of the sedan chair.

"Zhan Zhao!" The master in front of the sedan chair was still in shock, and shouted angrily, "Did you also step on the grand master's sedan chair?"

"Zhan Zhao is ordered to hunt down the rebellious party and investigate the past. He is ordered by the emperor, so please forgive me, Master Lu!"

"You treat the grand master as a criminal, what crime should you have?"

"Master, why is there such a need to intimidate, Zhan Zhao just wants to see who is sitting in the sedan chair, even if it offends, I believe the grand master will be lenient."

Zhan Zhao cupped his hands, his voice was clear, neither humble nor overbearing, just as he was about to step forward, the master was furious: "Zhan Zhao, how dare you!"

"Zhan Zhao acted according to the order and took responsibility. Offended!"

Before the words were finished, the guards of the Grand Master's Mansion had already swarmed up, the red-clothed guard's sword was not out of the sheath, but he raised the sword in his hand and fell, his body was jumping, and he was already in front of the sedan chair door.

Master changed color slightly: "Do you dare?"

Zhan Zhao didn't say a word, but gently pushed aside his blocking hand with the hilt of his sword, leaned slightly, and opened the sedan chair curtain - the moment his eyes touched the inside of the sedan chair, he was slightly shocked, seeing the old man in the python robe and jade belt stepping out of the sedan chair. Walking out of the middle, after all, he raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and bowed his hands in salute: "Zhan Zhao, the fourth-rank imperial guard with a sword, see the Grand Master!"

Grand Master Pang Ji looked at him with his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "Zhan Zhao, you stand with your knees off the ground and stand shoulder to shoulder with the old man. Is this also called seeing you? You keep saying that you are doing things according to orders, but you still have a sense of dignity in your eyes." point?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and tasted the meaning of making things difficult in his words: "Zhan Zhao—"

Master Lu Bin cut him off: "You still don't kneel down to pay homage? You asked my grand master to go to Kaifeng mansion to ask Mr. Bao the truth?"

The corners of the mouth are sharp and biting.

Zhan Zhao's eyebrows were raised slightly, and a coldness flashed across his eyes, he paused for a moment, took a step forward, lifted his hem, and touched one knee to the ground.

Pang Ji looked at it coldly, and finally nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, good. Zhan Zhao, now your wish has been fulfilled. Can the old man get on the sedan chair and go home?"

Zhan Zhao bowed his head, his handsome face was hidden in the shadow: "Zhan Zhao is reckless, Grand Master Haihan."

"It's my life, the old man doesn't mean to blame." Pang Ji finally felt much more relieved when he looked at his lowered eyebrows, "" You can go down now. "

Zhan Zhao stood up and turned around to leave, but Lu Bin shouted loudly behind him: "Wait a minute, have you thanked me? You people in Kaifeng Mansion have no rules at all!"

As soon as these words came out, the meaning of humiliation was even worse!

Zhan Zhao paused, and the moment he raised his eyelids, sharp eyes flashed by.

Bai Yutang couldn't stand it anymore upstairs: "This old man is too deceitful!"

He raised his sword and was about to jump down, but Ah Jiu stretched out his hand to stop him. In astonishment, he saw that Zhan Zhao had already reacted, and the hem of the sea ripples made a sharp arc in the low sky, and he had already touched the ground on one knee: "Grand Master Xie!" !"

Every word and sentence, the words are sonorous and forceful, and they are loud and loud.

Bai Yutang was stunned for a long while, and finally snorted: "This stinky cat, instead of being a handsome Nanxia, ​​went to Kaifeng Mansion to be some kind of guard. Look, it deserves it!"

Ah Jiu remained silent, her gaze fell on the corner of the street, but seeing the broad daylight and the sight of everyone, the red-clothed guard, although half-kneeling on the ground, had his back upright like a pine, unyielding.

The giant que in his hand seemed to be trembling slightly in the sheath. Are the three divine dragons aggrieved by the master?

Suddenly remembered, that person back then was rebellious and rebellious, he listened to the tune but did not listen to the announcement, but in the end he lowered his high head and dealt with each other for hundreds of years in the deceitful heaven.

The heartache during this period was probably even worse than today.
