White clothes bind me [cat and mouse]

Yuhua Lane is called Yuhua Lane because when the spring rain falls and the world warms up in this alley, a hundred flowers bloom on the side of the alley, which can be described as a great beauty in Bianjing.

But this year's temperature is lower than in previous years, and the flowers have not yet bloomed, but it has rained a lot, and the rain flower alleyway can only see mud and moss on the ground.

Walking beside Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao couldn't help looking at his white clothes and boots embroidered with fine patterns, but saw that the soles of the shoes were not stained at all, and he seemed to understand something after blinking his eyes.

It turns out that Qinggong is used in this way.

As if he knew some secret, Zhan Zhao raised his hand and pressed the gesture of covering his mouth and laughing.

Bai Yutang gave him a puzzled look: "Are you there?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, raised his hand and pointed to the place for him, the place he pointed to was the dilapidated small workshop in the deepest part of the alleyway.

The lower bunk didn't look like a business store, the door plaque was tattered and half of it was missing, the door was closed and it looked like it hadn't been opened for a few days.

Zhan Zhao stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no one responded.

This workshop is really out of the way, no wonder there is not even a decent shop in the surrounding area, fortunately it is a handicraft shop where I can live.Zhan Zhao knocked for a long time, only to hear the surrounding area was very quiet, there was no human voice for a long time.

Bai Yutang stood behind Zhan Zhao fanning his fan, looked at him innocently, and said, "Do you want to kick the door in and have a look?"

As a fourth-rank guard with a knife in Kaifeng Mansion, how could he break into someone's house without permission?He was full of disapproval.

Since Zhan Zhao was unwilling, Bai Yutang naturally wouldn't make fun of himself.

Just when the two were struggling, suddenly the sound of clogs approached slowly from a distance, Zhan Zhao looked over, and an old man gradually appeared in front of the two of them.

Zhan Zhao went up and made a bow and asked, "The old man lives near here? Do you know where this shop is?"

The old man walked over with a bamboo basket in his arms, staggered, raised his head slowly when he heard Zhan Zhao's voice, and said loudly, "Young man, what are you talking about?"

The old man was getting old and had poor hearing. Zhan Zhao patiently leaned into her ear and said it again, and then he heard the old man say: "Xiao Gu, she said half a month ago that she got into a big disaster and wanted to go back to her hometown to avoid the limelight. This store has not been opened for a long time."

Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes.

Zhan Zhao and him looked at each other, and the timing was just right, but what was so weird about the white jade cup that made Gu Hongqing want to avoid the limelight regardless of his family and career? Could it be a life-threatening thing?

In any case, although he didn't find himself this time, he also got a clue, so the trip was not in vain.

When the two walked out of the alley, there was already a red glow in the sky, Bai Yutang put away the fan and lowered his palms, and suggested that it was getting late, and invited Zhan Zhao to drink at Zuixianju.

Ke Zhanzhao seemed to have thought of something, and looked at him with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of meeting someone again in Zuixianju?"

Zhan Zhao's words were a bit metaphorical, and Bai Yutang didn't understand at first, but his expression changed immediately, thinking that he had been harassed twice after he had only been in Kaifeng Mansion for two days, which was already a great shame for him.

But looking at Zhan Zhao's expression in a blink of an eye, his expression of wanting to laugh and trying to hold his breath is really hateful.

Bai Yutang: ...

Bai Yutang didn't feel angry, but only felt helpless and sighed. This Zhan Zhao looked righteous and full of righteousness, but he didn't expect it to be a white sesame soup dumpling with a black core inside!

Zhan Zhao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go back, I still have a few jars of good wine in my yard."

Since there is good wine, Bai Yutang doesn't care about him teasing himself this time.

-

In the early morning of the second day, Bai Yutang woke up from the sound of reading, and suddenly remembered that Zhan Zhao said yesterday that half of the Kaifeng mansion had been built as a shantang. Perhaps this was the sound of the children in the shantang reading early in the morning, and it seemed that it was still early.

But when he listened carefully, there was the sound of sword training outside the door. It seemed that Zhan Zhao was practicing martial arts in the courtyard.

Bai Yutang rubbed his temples. After dinner last night, he and Zhan Zhao drank a few jars of Shaoxing wine. Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao could drink well, and the two returned happily.It's just that after drinking, he didn't want to sleep with the smell of alcohol on his body, so he insisted on washing himself with a bucket of cold water, but was stopped by Zhan Zhao with a face full of disapproval, and he spent half a day in the kitchen himself, burning the bucket for half an hour to finish The water was sent to Bai Yutang's room. In the end, he was afraid that Bai Yutang would not know what to do with the bath water and the wooden bucket. He would help clean up the things after he finished the bath before going back to sleep.

Originally, the two of them didn't feel much, but for some reason, they met a maidservant who was up at night on the way. The maidservant looked at them with strange eyes, which made Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang extremely embarrassed, so they hurriedly fell asleep.

Bai Yutang lay on the bed and listened for a while, listening to the movement outside, he knew that Zhan Zhao had been practicing for a while.I slept so late last night, I didn't expect Zhan Zhao to get up early in the morning to practice swords. Sure enough, Nan Xia Zhan Zhao relied not only on his talent, but also on his relentless persistence day after day.

Thinking that he couldn't be compared, Bai Yutang immediately washed with the water that was prepared in the basin in the room, and changed into a set of gray clothes as the base, with a white shirt embroidered with the appearance of a gentleman's bamboo leaves in dark patterns. , and then put on a white short coat, a crisp and neat outfit with white boots, it looks tall and long, and the white skirt hangs gently around the body, which does not affect the movement.

Bai Yutang opened the door and went out, and he knew why Nanxia Zhanzhao was conferred the title of Royal Cat by the Holy Master. This thin figure in blue clothes shuttled around. A blue line clearly marks a scratch.

Compared with Bai Yutang's quick and erratic steps, Zhan Zhao's lightness kung fu is not so fancy, only simple and simple.

"Is this Chuanyun?" Bai Yutang stood at the door for a long time and said openly.

In the arena, watching others practice martial arts is a disgraceful thing. Those who are watched think that the person watching is suspected of stealing, and those watching are afraid that the person being watched will think that they are stealing, so they will all avoid it. A subtle behavior.

But Bai Yutang seldom messed around in the world, and didn't understand these things, and Zhan Zhao was a real person, he would not guess others maliciously, or because he was strong, he was not afraid of others learning his martial arts.

I have to say that although the two have different ideas in this regard, they have a good understanding.

"Discussion?"

"A sparring match?"

It was said earlier that they wanted to learn from each other, but now it really came true, the two said in unison.

Bai Yutang said: "It's a pity that I don't have a good knife."

After speaking, he looked at the giant sword in Zhan Zhao's hand. It was a famous ancient sword, forged by the famous swordsmith Ou Zhizi.

But Bai Yutang did not admit defeat, he raised his lips and said, "I will fight you with this fan."

After finishing speaking, Bai Yutang unfolded the fan, and saw a few large ink characters on the front of the ordinary wooden fan - Rising Sun, Morning Glow, Leisurely Red Rain, and on the back - Spring Breeze, Bright Moon, Smiling Clouds.

Zhan Zhao didn't speak, and he didn't back down just because he was holding a famous sword. He knew that Bai Yutang didn't like to do this. Bai Yutang was very proud. If you are unbalanced, you will regress, so there is only one thing he can do-go all out!

Bai Yutang knew very well that an ordinary wooden fan was no match for a famous sword like Juque. Although it could attach a layer of internal force to the wooden fan, he tried not to confront Zhan Zhao head-on, but to outsmart him.

Bai Yutang fanned the fan lightly, and the hair fluttered in the ears and temples, and the two figures disappeared in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, they had gone through more than [-] moves in the courtyard. Ordinary people could only see afterimages of their movements, and couldn't tell what moves they made.

Xiaohong, who was originally here to deliver the food, didn't dare to blink when she saw such a scene, she was stunned, and she wanted to rub her eyes with her hands, thinking she was dazzled.

But they still held the food for the two of them in their hands, so they dared not let go.

In such a dazed effort, the two had already hit the eaves from the courtyard, and now everyone in the courtyard next to them saw it.

Zhao Hu rubbed his eyes for a long time but couldn't see the movements of the two people on the roof clearly, so he could only speak with tongue-tied words: "Hey, it's the first time I've seen someone be able to fight Master Zhan like this! What kind of gods are these? ah."

Gongsun Ce happened to be passing by, holding a feather fan and smiling, wondering what he was thinking: "This is a Jiang Hu person."

Zhao Hu looked at Gongsun Ce's feather fan in surprise and asked, "Mister fanning so early? It's only March."

The corner of Gongsun Ce's mouth twitched, he put down his feather fan and said, "I'm using it to decoct medicine."

Zhao Hu didn't know that he was going to be unlucky at all, and he didn't feel that he had offended Gongsun Ce in the slightest: "Speaking of which, Bai Yutang's weapon is a fan? Can this be compared with Master Zhan's Ju Que?"

There were also many maidservants who came out to watch the fun, and they were not happy to hear Zhao Hu's words.Ever since the maids in Kaifeng Mansion knew that Bai Yutang was staying in the Ya Mansion, almost all of them fell in love with his handsome appearance, and ranked No.1 with Zhan Zhao among the most favorite men in Kaifeng Mansion. The popularity of the two was on the same level. Hearing what Zhao Hu said, they naturally wanted to defend Bai Yutang.

"What nonsense! Bai Wuye is so handsome with a fan, it's just perfect for Mr. Zhan!"

"Yeah yeah."

Zhao Hu was so embarrassed by the maidservants that he dared not speak, but after another look, it was true that two blue and white figures intersected in the sky.

The two fought for half an hour, and they fought heartily, but when they came down, they didn't sweat at all.

Zhan Zhao's internal energy is deep, and they didn't use too much internal energy during the sparring, so they didn't feel tired, while Bai Yutang was born with such a physique, and his internal energy was negative and cold, so he didn't sweat easily.

Having been on duty in Kaifeng Mansion for so long, Zhan Zhao hadn't competed with others for a long time, so today can be said to be a good day.

Bao Zheng watched from a distance and stroked his beard, nodded with a smile and said: "It seems that Guard Zhan is very happy today."

Gongsun Ce said: "With Bai Yutang, Guard Zhan seems more motivated."

Bao Zheng said: "That's fine, the government was worried that Zhan Huwei would wrong him in the Kaifeng government, but seeing that he insisted on staying, he didn't say much, so I feel relieved."

Gongsun Ce said: "Why don't you also invite Bai Yishi to serve in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Bao Zheng waved his hand: "This kind of thing can't be forced."

After he finished speaking, he smiled mysteriously: "With Bai Yutang's character and family background, I'm afraid he doesn't want to work in Kaifeng Mansion, but with Zhan's guards, it's hard to say."

With Bao Zheng's appearance, if Pang Ji, the grand master of the court, would have said here: "This black bun, don't look at his righteous appearance, in fact, he has the same skin color as him. It's black!"
