[Seventy-five] Cat control the rivers and lakes

It wasn't until the bangman who was working outside knocked four times in a row that the door of the guest room was gently pushed open.Accompanied by the loud yawn of Zhao Hu next door, a gust of wind blew in from the door, and Gongsun Junruo knew that he had returned.

The candlelight in the room was very dim, and his face could not be distinguished clearly, but if Gongsun Jun knew, he was very angry and trembling all over, but he wanted to prevent his anger from leaking out and affect her. I have been trying my best to endure the rest.

Her eyes fell on his fist on his knees, with bulging veins, she sighed lowly, and stretched out her hand to press the back of his hand.

Zhan Zhao's back stiffened, he turned his head, looked at Gongsun Junruo, smiled apologetically, "Why are you awake?"

She shook her head, put her hands around his strong waist and leaned forward, without speaking.Feeling that he was gradually relaxing, she sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, Zhan Zhao quickly brought her a pillow to cushion her, and sat beside her.

"Does the wound still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, the special-effect golden sore medicine is here." She rarely used such a joking tone.

Sure enough, his brows and eyes stretched a lot, he hugged her into his arms, and patted her on the back, "Are you waiting for me to come back?" His consciousness was so clear, there were dark circles under his eyes, which could be seen She didn't fall asleep after he left.Why is she so stupid?Why wait for him?

"How's the situation?"

The hand that patted her on the back suddenly stopped, Zhan Zhao pursed his thin lips, and said after a long time, "It's more serious than what was written in the letter."

"Is there a hungry fish in the wild?"

Zhan Zhao remained silent, although it was not that miserable, but it was almost there.

"Is the road frozen to death?" She added.

He scratched her small nose, "Summer, where's the cold?" How could he not know that she was dredging his emotions?

"Then have you seen Prefect Chen?" She grabbed his hand and drew circles on his palm.This action will make him relax a little.

"Yeah, but he's already asleep." Zhan Zhao paused, "The current prefect Chen can be said to be in name only, but fortunately he has always been faithful to his duties."

"So, in such a situation, there is nothing the magistrate can do?"

Zhan Zhao was silent again, and Gongsun Junruo had already guessed something.

The most helpless thing for an official is to watch the people suffer, but there is nothing they can do.I'm afraid he is also having a hard time. Being an upright official is not easy, and he has to fight against the powerful, and even faces the danger of being stripped of the black hat on his head at any time.

"I want to go out for a walk tomorrow. There must be many patients waiting for treatment."

Zhan Zhao suddenly straightened his upper body, "It's dangerous outside."

"It's dangerous to stay here forever?" She looked up at him, "Don't forget the purpose of Baogong asking me to come with you, I promise you, I will protect myself."

Staring blankly at her pair of unwavering eyes, Zhan Zhao finally sighed helplessly after a long while, "I know I can't stop you, just as you said, protect yourself and don't show off."

She rolled her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "My life is precious."

Zhan Zhao stared blankly at her mischievous smile, couldn't hold back the expression on his face, let out a chuckle, lovingly embraced her shoulders, and let her lean against his chest. "Thank you."

"I'm not for you, but for Mr. Bao."

Zhan Zhao repeatedly nodded in response, "Yes yes yes... for Master Bao."

The next day, Gongsun Junruo and Zhan Zhao agreed to meet at the inn after dusk, and then they split up.This was the first time that Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Junruo acted separately, and he was a little absent-minded along the way, so that he took the wrong direction several times, and was transferred back by Zhang Long.

Seeing that he was so restless, Zhao Hu couldn't stand it anymore, walked up to him and said, "Master Zhan, it's not a good idea for you to keep worrying about Miss Gongsun like this. In my opinion, you should go find her. There are me and her here." Zhang Long can just do it, saving us from taking more wrong roads... Ah!" In the latter words, Zhang Long rolled down his instep hard, causing him to howl in pain.

"Why?" Zhao Hu glared at Zhang Long angrily, with a look of "finding fault and wanting to fight".

"You don't need to say that last sentence at all, as long as you know it well." Zhang Long leaned in front of him and whispered to him.Don't you know it's embarrassing to be told some facts in public?

"What did you say? There's no need to say anything? Did I, Zhao Hu, say anything wrong?"

Zhang Long stared at him wide-eyed, and for the first time felt that it was completely useless to reason with the fool.

Thanks to Zhan Zhao's good temper, he didn't take it to heart, but smiled apologetically at the two of them, "It's Zhan's fault, and both of you have been hurt."

"Master Zhan, we know that you are worried about Miss Gongsun. In fact, I think the same as him. If you are really worried about her, you should follow her." Zhang Long also joined the team of exhortations, but Zhao Hu rolled his eyes .He returned a look like "I'm doing it for the good of Mr. Zhan, so it's not like you".

After a long time, Zhan Zhao said slowly: "Thank you both for your kindness, Zhan has appreciated it."

"That……"

"Let's trust her, I believe she will bring us reliable news, and I have to trust her, as she said, I can't always protect her."

"And, I want to trust her." After a pause, Zhan Zhao added.

Zhao Hu and Zhang Long looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

In this way until the appointed time, Zhan Zhao, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu were waiting at the inn early. Zhan Zhao ordered a few dishes, but found that there was none, not even a decent meal. The waiter said that there was a shortage of rice in the inn. They were all hungry and thin. In the end, they could only order porridge with some side dishes, but the price was not cheap.

When Zhao Hu heard the price, he was so shocked that he stood up from his seat, and shouted at Xiao Er: "It's so expensive without decent food? You're a scam!"

Unexpectedly, the waiter in the shop unhurriedly picked out his ears, rolled his eyes and said slowly, "Guest officer, are you from outside? It's not easy to come to Xuzhou, and you still robbed us if you knew there was a famine here." Food for food, haven’t you seen how high the price of food in the government is? How can we buy rice without money, and how can you have food? Blame the officials!”

A few words blocked Zhao Hu's fists and rattled, but the waiter was not moved at all, as if he was used to such scenes.

"If you don't want to pay, it's okay. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat a decent meal when you travel all over Xuzhou. Our inn can also provide rice porridge, which is already very good."

Zhan Zhao took Zhao Hu's hand and motioned him to sit down with his eyes.Even though Zhao Hu was unwilling, he had no choice but to sit down.

In the current situation, what's more, what the waiter said is right, the fault lies with those two goddamn bastards!

"Xiao Er, you said it was the government's fault, so do you know who is releasing the relief?"

"Two scum who are not as good as pigs and dogs! Oh, no, now there is only one left."

Zhan Zhao looked at him, "One?"

The shop waiter looked around, saw nothing unusual, bent down and said, "Before, there were two young princes from the capital, but one of them died inexplicably last night for some reason, and the villagers said it was evil or evil. Report, it is estimated that the other one is about the same.”

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, wondering, "Which one died?"

"The big one, he died well! Before Yan Wushuang was arrested, he was said to be a thief who did all kinds of evil, but I think they are the ones who shouted to catch the thief. Those deeds are worse than thieves and more hateful. Killing a thousand swords will not relieve the hatred! And there is a gossip that the two brothers also threatened the rich households in the area, telling them to take all the valuables at home to buy rice nearby, and anyone who dares not to do so--" He made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Zhan Zhao and Zhang Long exchanged glances, and continued to ask the waiter, "Do you have evidence?"

"Hey! I said it was a gossip, but it is true that some people witnessed the rich family being framed. Hey... such days are similar to those in the chaos of war." The waiter shook his head, "I thought the imperial envoy sent by the emperor would be so cruel Who knows that two heinous bastards came here and took advantage of the fire to rob, and a rice robbery happened a few days ago! They are all a group of hungry and fainted people, who can do everything, what a pity... How can the people fight against the government? Are we the common people the ones who lose?"

"I think that Yan Wushuang is a righteous thief. I guess there is some reason he can't help himself, so he became a thief, but ah, what he does is to rob the rich and help the poor. In my opinion, compared with those who rely on being an official I don't know how many times the rich bastard is better!"

"Then what happened after he was arrested?" Zhan Zhao continued to ask.

"After that? I heard that he was rescued by someone, but that little prince is stronger than Yan Wushuang. His hammer is so powerful that even Yan Wushuang is afraid of it."

Zijin Hammer!Zhan Zhao and Zhao Hu looked at each other.

"Oh! Not much to say, I still have to entertain the three of you, eat slowly, today I will give you a [-]% discount!"

Zhan Zhao smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

Just after the conversation, Zhao Hu saw Gongsun Junruo walking into the inn with sharp eyes, and hurriedly bumped into Zhan Zhao and asked him to watch the door.Zhan Zhao followed his gaze, seeing the person approaching unhurriedly, he was finally able to let go of his hanging heart.He stood up and walked towards her in three steps at a time.

Although Zhao Hu and the others couldn't hear the conversation between Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Junruo, they could see from Zhan Zhao's expression that he was relieved a lot, and his whole body relaxed.

"I think the only one who can make Daxia Zhan worry so much is Miss Gongsun." Zhao Hu propped his chin and said.

"Well," Zhang Long nodded, then pushed him down, "Isn't Miss Little Red the one who makes you worry?"

One sentence made Zhao Hu's face turn red, and his skin was dark purple, which was very funny.Zhang Long covered his mouth and laughed, but he gave him a hard stare.

"Choose a good day to marry her, so that you can be as husband and wife as Master Zhan."

Knocking his head, Zhao Hu scolded: "Mind your own business!"
