[Rat Cat] Eternal Night

Because he was worried about Mr. Bao, Zhan Zhao only stayed on Xingkong Island for less than five days before deciding to return.Mrs. Lu couldn't resist him, so she had to make some pills for him to take with him, so as not to lose his recuperation due to bumps on the road.

"Hey sister-in-law, you might as well give it to me." Bai Yutang grabbed the medicine bottle and stuffed it in his arms, "Have you ever seen a busy cat take time to take care of itself?"

Fourth Master Jiang was delighted to hear this, and squinted at him: "Xiao Zhan doesn't know how to take care of himself, so you can? He's such an adult and still has a frizzy temper, what should he do in the future... Xiao Zhan, look at him ~"

Zhan Zhao smiled embarrassingly, and didn't go to answer the fourth brother's words, but just cupped his fists at the island owners and saluted: "Brother and sister-in-law, don't worry, Zhan won't let brother Bai get into trouble."

Lu Fang nodded and waved his hand slightly: "Go ahead, I will leave the fifth child to Mr. Zhan."

"Sail——" With a loud shout, the big ship on Sunken Island raised its sails, and the golden sunlight filled the cabin.Bai Yutang looked at the azure figure at the bow of the boat, and showed a big smile——By the company of a confidant, I am happy in the rivers and lakes.Life in the dream is so pleasant, it is really intoxicating.

In reality, he had no father or mother, and was lonely. Jiang Ping, the only person he knew, also died in an unknown accident.But here, he has his own home, and a brother and sister-in-law who will get angry with him but also love him sincerely.Most importantly, there are people he likes here...

Here is Zhan Zhao, the person he likes.

He finally understands why Zhan Zhao is so special, because he adores him, and his subconscious doesn't want Zhan Zhao to disappear.So, Zhan Zhao... will always be there... will he...

"Brother Bai...Brother Bai?"

Bai Yutang came back to his senses, and looked into Shang Zhanzhao's worried eyes.

"What... what's wrong?"

"We're here~"

"Ah? Oh..." Bai Yutang raised his head, and a simple and solemn city tower appeared in front of him. The word "Bianliang" on the city gate was beautiful and vivid-this was the capital of the Song Dynasty more than 1000 years ago.

In his spare time, Bai Yutang also imagined this ancient city that was in the same line as Bianjing but disappeared in the flames of war.Now, after many years, he finally came to this beautiful place in a dream.

The soldiers guarding the city gate seemed to have a good relationship with Zhan Zhao, and greeted him warmly when he came back.

Zhan Zhao smiled and agreed to take the time to drink with them, and then led the horse to catch up with the people in front.

"You're finally here." Bai Yutang looked at him, not even noticing how resentful his tone was.

Zhan Zhao smiled good-naturedly, took Bai Yutang's "Zhanxue" by the hand, and walked forward with his "Mo Yun".After walking a few steps and seeing that Bai Yutang didn't follow, the young man in blue tilted his head and smiled: "Still leaving?"

"Come... come..." Bai Yutang lost his mind and followed him involuntarily.

The Kaifeng mansion, which is famous in later generations, is actually a small courtyard. Bai Yutang looked up at the handwriting written on the door, and felt a little flustered for no reason.

"Zhan Zhao..."

"What's the matter?"

"You...you tie me up."

Zhan Zhao's eyes widened, looking at this man who was as dazzling as the sun, he was so proud and confident, yet so...so transparent.

"Apology should look like an apology." Bai Yutang turned his face away a little awkwardly, "Fifth Master, I am not a stingy person, and I always keep my word."

"This... okay." Zhan Zhao smiled clearly, took out a bundle of ropes from the horse's back, and tied Bai Yutang's hands in two or three strokes, "So, I have wronged Yutang."

Bai Yutang struggled slightly, feeling that the binding was too loose, he asked Zhan Zhao to tighten it up.Seeing that he was very interested, Zhan Zhao could only let him go.The yamen servants guarding the door looked at each other, closed their mouths tacitly, and turned a blind eye to their actions.

"Master Zhan is back, and Master Bao is waiting for you in the study." A yamen servant held the document and pointed to the direction of the backyard and said to the two, "Mr. Gongsun is also back."

Bai Yutang followed Zhan Zhao and nodded, and as he walked, he sighed that Mr. Bao was so well-mannered—this kind of skill of not being curious, curious and not gossiping, and gossip not being conspicuous, it took many years to learn in the empty island.

Passing through the moon gate and entering the inner courtyard, a young and handsome scholar greeted him. He was wearing a light green scarf and a long robe embroidered with green bamboo on a white background.He walked over with a smile on his face, warm as a spring breeze and as light as a flutter of catkins, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Mr. Gongsun!" Zhan Zhao's eyes lit up, and he left Bai Yutang and hurried forward, "Sir, Zhan Zhao is back."

Mr. Gongsun?Bai Yutang frowned, could this person be Gongsun Ce, the well-known second grade teacher in Kaifeng Mansion?

but……

This person doesn't seem to be more than [-] years old, how could he be the person who has assisted Mr. Bao in running the Kaifeng Mansion for many years?

Gongsun Ce smiled gently, as if he didn't see another person in the yard, he just listened to Zhan Zhao's whisper about the events of this period, and echoed a few words from time to time.I don't know what they were talking about, the gentle and elegant man raised his eyebrows, and finally saw the man standing in the courtyard pleading guilty.

"Bai Yutang." Gongsun Ce said slowly, "I have known you for a long time... We have been waiting for you for a long time."

Eh?

Bai Yutang inexplicably felt a chill behind his back, as if he had overlooked something important.

Gongsun Ce broke a bamboo branch and walked slowly, with a light wave, the ropes tied to Bai Yutang's body were immediately scattered.

"Let's go." He threw away the bamboo branch, ignored Bai Wuye's stunned expression, and left on his own.

"Cats, cats, cats! Your master knows kung fu?!" Breaking the rope without hurting yourself requires such deep internal strength and precise eyesight.This, is this really the work of such a feeble scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken?

Zhan Zhao didn't answer, just smiled and followed Gongsun Ce's footsteps.Bai Yutang was helpless, what was the reason for the cat's mysterious smile?

After the figures of the three disappeared in the courtyard, the government servants who had been standing in the courtyard for a long time finally couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha Brother Zhan is playing tricks with Mr. Gongsun again!"

"It's not haha, did you see that Bai Yutang's expression just now?"

"Oh, he also asked, 'Maomaomaoer, does your husband know martial arts?' Hahahaha, Mr. Gongsun's trick is really tried and tested, and he has never failed. It was the same with whoever came last time hahahahaha~~~~ "

Hahahaha, the front yard of Kaifeng Mansion is full of happy air.

"Ahem, enough is enough!" Zhang Long walked over, picked up the coiled rope on the ground, and carefully looked at the neat cut, "This Bai Yutang has some real skills, and it would be great if he could fool him once. Now, quickly take the rope away."

Well, I look forward to playing next time~

After wandering around for so long, Bai Yutang still came to Kaifeng Mansion, where he met the famous Qingtian Lord Bao Zheng Bao.

This Mr. Bao is thinner than expected, and his skin color is not as dark as the rumors.It's just... Bai Yutang glanced at the young man seated on Master Bao's left, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: Mr. Gongsun, who was the same age as you, was as handsome as a fresh bamboo shoot, and Mr. Bao, you are wearing a middle-aged body, fat and gray. Is there not much pressure on the skin of Laji?

The answer is obvious.

"Mr. Thank you." The voice of the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture was thick and powerful, "The guard Zhan has also worked hard."

"Your Excellency is welcome."

? !

Why is the sound wrong?Bai Yutang looked up suddenly, where did that young and handsome Gongsun Ce go?Who is this middle-aged handsome uncle in a blue shirt? !

The man stroked his long beard lightly, and blinked playfully.This... Take a closer look, this person is [-]% similar to Gongsun Ce just now, it looks like he is undoubtedly him!

Bai Yutang helped his chin, which was about to fall out of joint, and said without thinking: "Cat, is your husband a monster?"

"You are the monster! Your whole family are monsters!" A flash of light flooded the thin and beautiful uncle, and after a while, the white-clothed scholar appeared in front of them again.

Seeing this situation, Zhan Zhao couldn't help turning his face away, the arm holding the scabbard trembled suspiciously.

"Ha, Gongsun, I told you not to play like this." Mr. Bao stroked his beard and smiled, "Bai Yishi was shocked. Mr. Gongsun learned extraordinary abilities from the old sage in his early years. One of them is to be able to Switching between the past and present self can occasionally scare others. However, he only uses this ability in front of close people, and it seems that he has a good opinion of you. Right, Gongsun?"

Gongsun Ce looked at them expressionlessly, "swipe—" and turned back into a middle-aged handsome uncle, turned around and left the room.

"Okay, stop laughing." Bai Yutang also felt a little depressed, such unimaginable and illogical things...doesn't it happen in dreams?He began to reflect on whether he saw something strange before diving, which made Gongsun Ce have such strange attributes.

Eh, wait...

"Old sage Dan?" It wouldn't be the one I thought...

"Ah, I heard that the old gentleman's name is Li Xiaer. Why, do you know Yutang?" Zhan Zhao smiled enough, and brewed three cups of tea.

Li... Er... Isn't this Lao Tzu... People in the pre-Qin period actually accepted an apprentice from the Song Dynasty...

What the hell is this? !

Wuxia becomes science fiction, science fiction becomes history, and history becomes fantasy.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was the maker of the dream, Bai Yutang would have absolutely doubted whether there was someone they didn't understand somewhere, who used a pair of god's hands to open up an inexplicable brain hole.

Of course, such a thing does not exist.

The previous performance was too idiotic!I am the leader of the dream, okay? !

Therefore, when Bai Yutang came back from the palace with Master Bao, he was able to keep his expression unchanged no matter what appearance Gongsun Ce appeared in front of him.

"Look, he accepted it very quickly. He didn't seem surprised at all." Gongsun Ce leaned against the pillar, this time he put on an extra emerald green gauze, "There is nothing wrong this time."

"It's never been wrong." Zhan Zhao smiled kindly, "It's been him from the beginning."

Gongsun Ce gave him a sideways glance, turned around and entered the room, and a sentence that seemed light but heavy floated over.

"We are fine, but you are different. Xiao Zhan, this is your last chance."

The author has something to say: the last paragraph, um, was written when my head was not clear.After waking up, I don’t think it’s a big deal, ah, it’s probably because I was complained by the characters^_^
