White clothes bind me [cat and mouse]

Seeing that Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao didn't even pay attention to these whisperers, those people started to shout maliciously again: "Who? Look down on us?"

The gangsters at the other table sneered at him and said, "I underestimate you? You are not Bai Yutang, but you are better than Zhan Zhao?"

Xu Bin, who had spoken before, looked a bit unhappy when he heard it. He obviously didn't like the mocking voice on the opposite table, and he couldn't help arguing, "Zhan Zhao? What is he? Come out? Otherwise, it would not be good for him to be the leader of the martial arts, why should he be a useless dog of the court?"

Xu Bin's words made the people on the side agree. There was no other way. Since Zhan Zhao entered the imperial court, there had been no news on the rivers and lakes for a long time. The newcomers hadn't even heard of his deeds, so naturally they didn't Zhan Zhao didn't take it seriously, and because he was from the rivers and lakes and became an official in an instant, many people secretly ridiculed him.

The Jianghu people at the other table who laughed at them smiled and stopped talking.

That's right, just explaining too much at this time is the best answer. When they challenge the authority of Kaifeng Mansion beyond their limits, they will naturally know that Nanxia Zhanzhao is very powerful.

Of course, I also want to talk about another person who was traveling with Zhan Zhao, that handsome man with a icy complexion. According to their exact information, Bai Yutang once easily singled out several disciples of the Fengren Sect. Facing more than 20 second-rate masters, he is not inferior. From this, it can be seen that this person is at least a first-rate master. However, for so many years, Jin Maoshu relied on his brother's fame to spread it. He has never heard of his martial arts. , Has this person been hiding for so many years?It seems that this person has a high level of forbearance, and it seems that his heart hides extremely deeply, which cannot be underestimated.

If Bai Yutang knew what was going on in his mind at this moment, he would only give him a blank stare, and then an expression of thinking too much. After all, he was just a little lazy before, and the four brothers could solve things by themselves. He didn't have any intention of going out into the rivers and lakes, so naturally he failed to make a name for himself.Now he is famous among the people in Jianghu, but it is because powerful people can never hide themselves.

After Xiao Er finished ordering, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other in dismay, while Xiao Liu stood aside with itchy paws, picking ashes from the wall, and when the prepared chicken arrived, Xiao Liu licked the pan innocently. white paws.

Bai Yutang looked at it helplessly, and personally wiped its paws and mouth clean with a handkerchief, so as not to eat anything unclean.

Then Xiao Liu buried his head in the basin beside him, crunching and eating the chicken, even the bones could be easily crushed and swallowed.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao could still eat with such a voice, drink some green bamboo leaves once in a while, and look at the lively scenery outside the restaurant. Of course, Bai Yutang is the only one drinking, and Zhan Zhao is talking to Bai Yutang alone, Bai Yutang only responded occasionally with a reply.

"I just heard that Lord Bao has been summoned to the palace again. I don't know what His Majesty's plans are going to be." Zhan Zhao said while eating.

Bai Yutang: "Huh?"

Zhan Zhao said: "The Holy Majesty has always been dissatisfied with the martial arts conference being held in Bianjing, but he has given these Jianghu people the freedom and rights in Bianjing. I don't know what will happen this time."

Bai Yutang said, "It's fine if it's banned."

Zhan Zhao added: "Forbidden now, I'm afraid it won't be that easy, and I don't know who made the Holy Majesty change his mind."

And it was the eldest son Zhao Xiu who made the Holy One change his mind.

In the imperial study room, the Holy Majesty was sitting at the front, listening to the noise of the people below, he just wanted to drink a bowl of sweet soup for a while, but it was a pity, before that, he rejected the food box sent by Concubine Pang Gui, and now suddenly there is All regrets.

There are nothing more than four people below, the eldest son Zhao Xiu, the Imperial Army Cao Xu, the Kaifeng Mansion Bao Zheng, and the Grand Master Pang Ji who have filed a complaint against the imperial court.

The restaurant is the property that the former empress dowager bestowed on the eldest son Zhao Xiu, and it is no accident that he was responsible for the death this time. Although no one blamed him, he still went to sue the emperor and demanded that the emperor severely punish these Jianghu However, after hearing Bao Zheng say that all the Jianghu people involved in the incident were poisoned to death, he demanded even more strongly to cancel the martial arts conference.

Originally, the Holy Majesty had dispensable ideas about the martial arts conference, but this time Zhao Xiu persuaded him. It was just the beginning, and a commoner died, causing public resentment. If this matter is not handled properly, the commoners will probably Even more unhappy.

The Holy Majesty, who is called "benevolent", absolutely does not want to see such a scene, but the contradiction lies in the grand master Pang Ji. The retaliation caused by this is also natural. At this time, the target of retaliation is very likely to be the Holy One. For the sake of the safety of the Holy One, it is better to think carefully.

Among them, Bao Zheng and Cao Xu were fishing in troubled waters. One of them was responsible for the security of Kaifeng Mansion, and the other was responsible for the order of the entire Kyoto. It was the Holy One who asked them to discuss whether it was feasible to cancel the martial arts conference.

Bao Zheng tied his hands in the wide sleeves, and said that the gathering of Jianghu people is indeed more harmful. Since the martial arts conference was held in the past few days, the incidence of public security accidents in Kaifeng Mansion has increased by [-]%. Talking about prohibiting Jianghu people from holding martial arts conferences will focus the contradictions of all Jianghu people on the court, and this matter needs to be discussed slowly.

So the four of them had been arguing about this issue for almost half an hour, and the Holy Majesty, who hadn't had lunch yet, already felt empty.

In the end, it was the words of the eldest son Zhao Xiu that made Shengxia make up his mind: "What's more, I heard that this group of people from the rivers and lakes are planning to plot a big event at the martial arts conference. I heard that it is related to the treasure map. They plan to kill The members of the Light Demon Cult get the treasure map and the treasure."

The story of the treasure map is indeed spreading, which is the reason why this martial arts conference was held, but it also involves a point that no emperor has any reason to hear. No matter who it is, the treasure map sounds important. People scrambled to seize the treasures, completely ignoring the country's only emperor, which no emperor could tolerate.

In the end, the Holy One said: "Since this is the case, then the eldest son Zhao Xiu will be in charge of this matter. Please cooperate with Kaifeng Mansion."

Zhao Xiu naturally took the order very happily, and the remaining three looked at each other. Although the Holy One said that Zhao Xiu was fully responsible for this matter and asked the Kaifeng Mansion to cooperate, the most powerful forbidden army was not used. Could it be that His Majesty affirmed the ability of Kaifeng Mansion Zhan Zhao?But Zhan Zhao is not easy to speak in front of this group of Jianghu people, and it will be counterproductive in special times.

But since the Holy Majesty had already spoken, Bao Zheng also felt that it was not a good time to object, so he had to accept his orders silently.

After the discussion, the Holy Majesty finally patted his robe and was about to walk into Concubine Pang's palace, but Pang Ji walked out of the store, patted his stomach in relief, completely gone from the flushing in the quarrel just now, and then glanced at the person who was walking behind. Bao Zheng said softly, "Fatty Hei, what do you think His Majesty is thinking?"

Bao Zheng rolled his eyes at him, and continued to walk out with his hands tied: "Probably because he wants to train the prince, we can guess what the Holy One is thinking."

Pang Ji let out a soft "cut" and muttered, "I dare not guess, but you are the one who can best guess what the Holy Spirit is thinking."

But so what, after leaving the palace, Zhao Xiu specially ordered someone to spread the news, and soon with the approval of the Holy Spirit, the news that the martial arts conference was not allowed to be held spread to all the restaurants and inns, even the businessmen nearby. Merchants are aware of this.

After hearing the news, some people praised it very much, but some merchants regretted that such a good time to make money was gone, while other people who wanted to watch the excitement lost their wishes.

When Zhan Zhao, who had walked around outside after dinner, came back, his first reaction when he heard the news was: "Will the martial arts conference be canceled because of such a small news?"

Mr. Gongsun and Chao Mahan who were present were silent, Bai Yutang stood aside indifferently, followed by clingy Xiaoliu and said: "Impossible."

People in Jianghu have long ignored the people of the imperial court. How could they cancel the long-awaited martial arts conference because of this temporary news? What's more special, the meaning of this martial arts conference representative is extraordinary.

But at this moment, there is only half a day left before the opening of the martial arts conference.

While everyone was still silent, the guard's voice came from outside the door: "Master Zhan, Fifth Master Bai, I have a letter from you."

A letter to Bai Yutang?If it is said that it was sent to Zhan Zhao, why is the letter sent to Bai Yutang actually sent to Kaifeng Mansion instead of Mei Mansion?

When the two got the letter from the guard, they found that what they got was actually an invitation card, which was about inviting Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao to attend the martial arts conference.

Thinking about it this way, it is not a strange thing to invite Bai Yutang. After all, he has proved his strength, which naturally attracted the attention of many people in the Jianghu to this young man who has suddenly risen.But it’s a little strange to send the invitation to Zhan Zhao, after all, he doesn’t have a good impression in the hearts of the Jianghu people. If they know that he is coming to participate in the martial arts conference, and even suspect that he is going to run for the leader of the martial arts alliance, it is estimated that all the Jianghu people will not agree. Bar.

Let a court eagle dog become the leader of the martial arts, what is this martial arts?Is the lackey of the imperial court?

Zhan Zhao stroked his chin, read the invitation carefully, and said with a smile, "This is really strange."

However, Bai Yutang's reaction was to throw the invitation aside, with a calm expression on his face, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

Zhan Zhao asked, "Brother Bai, don't you plan to go?"

Bai Yutang said, "It's boring and noisy."

Indeed, so many people would definitely make a lot of noise, and this kind of farce was nothing to look at in Bai Yutang's eyes.

So Zhan Zhao also threw the invitation aside and said, "Since Brother Bai won't go, I won't go either."

Bai Yutang chuckled lightly and said, "Is this something you can decide?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment: "Huh?"

Bai Yutang said: "Are you sure that Master Bao won't let you go to the scene to maintain order as Yumao Zhanzhao?"

Zhan Zhao came back to his senses, he was a little uncertain and said, "This..."

Then I heard another voice coming from outside the door: "Is Master Zhan there? Master Bao invites you to go."

When Zhan Zhao turned his face, he saw Bai Yutang's lips twitched, and even the peach blossom eyes were curved, and the color became richer.
