[Seventy-five] Cat control the rivers and lakes

Min Xiuxiu stood behind Gongsun Junruo, watched her fold her clothes neatly and put them aside, and asked with a face full of disappointment, "Junruo, are you really leaving?"

Those clothes were lent to Gongsun Junruo by her.

Zhan Zhao told Lu Fang this morning that he was going back to Kaifeng Mansion, and his injuries were mostly healed, if he didn't go back, Bao Gong would probably send someone here.So when she heard the news, she came to ask Gongsun Junruo, after getting along for a while, she fell in love with this girl who doesn't talk much, hurts others but has excellent medical skills.If you discuss medical matters with Gongsun Jun on weekdays, she will always have new discoveries. She is like-minded and like-minded, and sometimes she sees her making the fifth brother jump with anger, and she likes this even more from the bottom of her heart. girl.

But there is no banquet in the world that lasts forever, she knows this, but she just doesn't want to think about it.However, who would have known that this parting would come so quickly.

"Well, Zhan Zhao will come to see me later, and we'll set off to go back."

"So fast?" Xiuxiu opened her eyes wide, she thought they would leave in the afternoon, "Don't you need to practice?"

Gongsun Junruo shook his head, "Go back early, Master Bao will feel relieved, and we have disturbed enough."

"I've stopped treating you as an outsider..." Xiuxiu lowered her head and muttered.

"You can come to Kaifeng mansion to play with me at any time."

Min Xiuxiu raised her head and smiled, "Maybe I will really come to you soon, Junruo, why don't we become sisters." She held Gongsun Junruo's arm, eyes bent into a line, "I really like you very much."

When Zhan Zhao came to find Gongsun Junruo, she and Min Xiuxiu had just completed the ceremony of sworn worship. Although he was a little surprised at the time, he later felt that it was reasonable.

When they got on the boat, Jiang Ping was the boatman, and Lu Fang led a group of brothers to see Zhan Zhao and the others off on the shore. When the boat was about to leave, Bai Yutang stood up and said to Zhan Zhao, "Zhan Zhao, there is not much difference between us." The winner will be decided, and when you recover from your injury, I will come to you to have a showdown."

Zhan Zhao replied: "Then Zhan will be waiting for you at Kaifeng Mansion anytime." He said goodbye to them.

"Hey, Junruo, after a while, I'll come to Kaifeng Mansion to visit you." Bai Yutang waved his hands and winked at Gongsun Junruo. After finishing speaking, he caught a glimpse of the unnatural smile on Zhan Zhao's face. I couldn't help feeling refreshed, "I heard that the Qiqiao Festival in Bianjing is quite fun, I will come to you when the time comes, so don't ignore me!"

"You can find me, but you have to pay for me to accompany you."

Bai Yutang yelled and scolded her for forgetting friends after seeing benefits.

As the boat drifted away, the people on the shore also became smaller and smaller. Jiang Feng blew his head and said, "Beware of catching a cold", and Gongsun Junruo looked away.

There are a few gray-white long-billed waterbirds circling on the river surface, sometimes flying high and calling a few times, sometimes lowering their bodies and rushing to the water surface, and then flying back into the air with their claws tightly grasping the fish that came up from the team.

The sunlight is so harsh that people have to squint their eyes to adapt to the strong light.Gongsun Junruo sat on the bow of the boat against the light, watching the surrounding scenery quietly, as if he wanted to integrate himself into it.Zhan Zhao sat on the other side of the boat, she looked at the river, he looked at her, Jiang Ping creaked the oars, the oars parted the water surface, and ripples rippled out circle after circle, making the boat smooth and stable. moving forward.Maybe it was too quiet, he whistled, passing the empty and remote tune on the vast river.

In less than an hour, the boat reached the shore, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Junruo said goodbye to him one by one, turned and left.

It has been three days since the two of them arrived in Kaifeng Mansion. When Gongsun Ce saw his sister came back intact, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say, but when he saw Zhan Zhao who was covered in injuries, his expression suddenly became heavy.The two of them didn't go back home together, but consciously staggered the time.

As careful as he is, he can guess what happened between them a little bit, but he chooses not to ask.Right now, calmness is the best option for them.

And since returning to Kaifeng mansion, Zhan Zhao's injury has been taken care of by Gongsun Ce. When Gongsun Ce saw his injury, he couldn't help but gasp.Even though the wound on the shoulder had started to scab, he could still know from the injury how serious Zhan Zhao's injury was at that time. If he were an ordinary person, his shoulder would probably be useless.What's more, the right hand is still fractured.But he was surprised by what was on Zhan Zhao's right arm, the hard white solid, isn't it plaster?But it was the first time he had seen gypsum used for fixation. He didn't expect that gypsum still had such an effect. He was quite knowledgeable. He used to grind it into powder and mix it with other medicinal powders for oral administration.

He asked how Zhan Zhao was injured so badly. After all, looking at the past, there are not many people who can match him in terms of force, not to mention his lightness kung fu is superb.Ke Zhanzhao was just evasive, looking around at him.Gongsun Ce knew that if he continued to ask, he would not be able to find out why, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Because Zhan Zhao was seriously injured, many of his affairs were assigned to the four guards. It can be said that Zhan Zhao’s incident this time became a big news in Kaifeng Mansion. You must know that he is the warrior in charge of Kaifeng Mansion. Well, with him in everyone's heart, everyone will be at peace, but now, he is not only injured but also injured so seriously, everyone can't help but guess.

Some people said how powerful the people on Zakong Island were, and some said that Bai Yutang was the most powerful. In the end, Zakong Island became a topic that people in Bianjing talked about, while Bai Yutang and others Before they knew it, their fame had been quietly established.

After entering June, the temperature in Bianjing became even more unbearable. The high temperature for several days made the water in the moat almost dry up. Irrigation is also required.Just when everyone was looking at the sky eagerly, praying for rain, a timely rain came unexpectedly, and this time, it lasted five days.

Bianjing has never experienced such a long period of rain, and everyone is overjoyed. Even Song Renzong, who has been worrying about the drought for a long time and cannot eat or sleep, finally smiled.

God bless Song Dynasty, no matter how powerful and capable a person is, he is still so insignificant in front of nature.It is precisely because of this that Song Renzong ordered to resume the sacrifice and prayer at the beginning of each year, praying for the prosperity of the country and the people.

On the third rainy day, Kaifeng Mansion welcomed two distinguished guests.One is the current emperor, and the other is his righteous sister Mei Niang.

Baogong was good at entertaining him, and Meiniang's purpose in visiting Kaifeng Mansion was only to see Zhan Zhao. The story of him being injured trying to save Gongsun Junruo spread from the folk to the palace, but it caused a lot of trouble in the palace.When the emperor's brother heard that Zhan Zhao was injured, he came to visit him.And she herself was concerned about his injury, so she found an excuse to visit Gongsun Junruo, and with the Queen Mother's consent, she left the palace with the emperor.

Although the emperor talked with Bao Gong, he was a little absent-minded, until Gongsun Junruo came into the study with tea, his whole mind was on her.

Zhao Zhen stood up and went to meet Gongsun Junruo, "Junruo, how are you? I heard that you were arrested, but I didn't know until now."

"Back to the emperor, all the girls are fine, it's Master Zhan who took good care of her."

After she reminded him, Baogong coughed in a timely manner, and the emperor felt embarrassed.His appearance is indeed too obvious.

"Your majesty, why don't you go with the mansion to see the guards?" Bao Gong suggested.

The emperor nodded, "Well, I really should condolences to Zhan's guards, and Miss Gongsun should join me."

Although Gongsun Junruo was a little unhappy, it was the emperor's invitation, and she couldn't save his face, so she had to follow.

When the three entered Zhan Zhao's room, Mei Niang was feeding him medicine, the emperor obviously felt that they were disturbed, and asked Bao Gong to come in later, only to see Bao Gong smiled and knocked on the door a few times.

Mei Niang turned her head, saw Bao Gong and the others standing at the door, and got up quickly.

"My subordinates see..." Zhan Zhao was about to salute the emperor, but he grabbed him.

"Guard Zhan, you are injured, so you don't need to salute."

Zhan Zhao nodded and thanked the emperor.He looked up and saw Gongsun Junruo standing behind Bao Gong, who was in the room but not in his heart.

After they came back, they haven't spoken to each other. He knew that she was avoiding him, but why wasn't he?Seeing each other now, I just feel that she is more relaxed than before.

If Gongsun Jun moved a stool for the emperor to sit on, the emperor told him to rest and recuperate because he had learned from Bao Gong that Zhan Zhao had gone to the empty island.

"Bao Qing, I'm very interested in the person who kidnapped Miss Gongsun. What's his name you just said?"

"His name is Bai Yutang, and people call him Chin Maoshu." It was Zhan Zhao who answered.

Mei Niang suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhan Zhao in surprise.Seeing her like this, the emperor asked, "Do you know him?"

Mei Niang hesitated for a while, then replied: "To be honest, he and I... are childhood sweethearts."

The emperor was in high spirits, his eyes sparkling.

"It's just that since I entered the palace, there has been no news of him, but I don't know that he has become a person from the empty island."

The emperor obviously had a lot of interest in Bai Yutang, after all, there were not that many Song Dynasty warriors who could defeat Zhan Zhao, and he had always liked heroes.Baogong understood what he meant. In fact, Baogong himself was also very interested in the five rats.

Zhan Zhao just told a little bit about what happened to him on the empty island, and only briefly mentioned the reason why he was injured so badly.And even if Zhan Zhao only had a few words, he was more determined that the emperor wanted to know Bai Yutang, and asked Bao Gong to pay more attention to the movements of the Five Rats.Baogong is naturally happy.

Taking advantage of their happy conversation, Mei Niang greeted Gongsun Junruo to go out and walked to the corridor.It was raining non-stop outside, and it was heavier than before she came.The air is humid, and you can inhale a nose of water vapor with every breath.If a person can stand up a little bit, he will be covered in water droplets.

"Sometimes, I'm quite jealous of you." After a long time, Mei Niang said softly, "Having a handsome man like Brother Zhan, who is both civil and military, guard you, take care of you, and give you wholeheartedly, is probably what every woman hopes for." A piece of happiness, but..." She paused, stretched out her hand to catch the rainwater falling from the eaves, "You treat him coldly, even with an expression of rejecting others thousands of miles away."

"When you think about it too much, I think you are showing off, showing off that you are pampered and loved, showing off that there is such a good man by your side."

Gongsun Junruo lowered his eyes, "You also said, that's when you think too much."

Mei Niang raised the corners of her lips, "Yeah, I thought about it too much, and it's because I feel sorry for Brother Zhan that I have such thoughts. Do you know what he said to me when I expressed my heart to him that day? He said 'You are my good sister', I actually want to ask, 'You have so many good sisters, which one do you really love'. But later, I figured out that a sister is just a sister after all, her position No matter how close you are to him, you can't take the place of your lover."

"I asked him how you were with him. He didn't speak, but he smiled, and I understood. It didn't need too much explanation, just a smile."

"I've never seen him smile so sweetly. At that time, I knew that no matter how hard I tried, it would be futile. He only has you in his eyes, how can he tolerate me?"

Mei Niang turned around and looked straight at Gongsun Junruo, "Sister Junruo, let me say something selfish, if you don't love him, please let him go, okay?"

Silence lingered between the two women, only the crackling of rainwater falling on the ground was heard, and puddles of various sizes had already accumulated in the stone patio under the steps.A frog that came from nowhere croaked a few times on the stone road, jumped over the puddle and jumped into the grass.

"How do you know I have no feelings for him?" Gongsun Junruo said suddenly after a long time.
