Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Daofu Town is located on the southwest side of Cancheng. This town is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and it is sunken in a ravine. To enter the city, you have to pass through several canyons. The surrounding mountains are naturally formed, as steep and neat as a knife cut. Hence the name.

Although the city is not big, it is very famous. Because of the beautiful scenery, many people come to visit it.You have to walk a line of sky to enter the city, and you have to walk a line of sky to leave the city. The mountain city is not small, but it has the smallest city gate in Song Dynasty.

In the early morning of this day, on the narrow mountain road, the tinkling of copper bells came from the bottom of the mountain, crisp and sweet.

At the foot of the mountain, a scholar led a little donkey up the mountain.

The scholar is in his 20s, like a piece of paper, thinner, but very energetic, with clear eyebrows, clean, long hair and a green shirt, with his hands behind his back casually, pulling the donkey leisurely the reins.

The little donkey is chubby and short, very cute, with big ears and big eyes, and the gray and white fur is clean and distinct.

On the back of the donkey sat a cuter doll.This doll is about four or five years old. She is petite and looks like a peanut from a distance. It has big eyes, small nose, and a small mouth. It is smooth and smooth, which shows that it is rich.

The little baby was holding a small medicine box in his hand, sitting on the back of the donkey, and called the scholar in a soft voice, "Daddy."

It seemed that he was only in his early twenties, no matter how he looked at it, the scholar who had such a big son turned around and replied with a full of doting, "Oh."

"Daddy." Xiaowa leaned closer, "If we walk so slowly, will we block the people behind?"

The scholar glanced back... and saw someone coming up from the bottom of the mountain.

This line of sky is long and narrow, and it is still a steep slope. One person and one horse can just pass through, and even the fattest people can't walk. If people come up from behind, they will probably be blocked by them.

The father and father turned their heads together, and saw a thin pony horse coming up, pulling a small cart with grass on it, and an old farmer driving the cart unhurriedly.

Xiaowa and the scholar looked at each other and smiled - it seemed that everything was fine.

"Sir, it's so early?" The old farmer looked up and saw the scholar and the doll, and asked, "Are you a doctor?"

The scholar nodded, "Yes."

"I see, you are here to help the yamen, right?"

The scholar was slightly stunned, and shook his head, "No, I came to Daofu Town to buy herbs, why did something happen to the county government, do you want a doctor?"

The old farmer was quite surprised, "Sir, is he a foreigner? You don't know such a big thing?"

The scholar shook his head.

"The most famous Broken Knife Gate in Daofu Town was destroyed a while ago, and there are so many corpses!" The old farmer seemed to be terrified when he said it, "There are too many corpses in the yamen. It is said that the temperature of the corpses was passed to the yamen. In a few days, I will find a doctor for treatment."

The scholar frowned slightly, "Why didn't the corpse be cremated? Although it's not too hot today, there will still be illnesses after leaving it for a long time."

"Who dares to burn it!" The old farmer kept shaking his head, "Duandaomen is a member of the Daomeng. It is said that Dao Xingfeng, the leader of the Daomeng, has said that he is willing to bury his brothers and sisters only after killing his enemies."

The scholar sneered, "It's not like fighting to the death in the rivers and lakes to die for the country. You can say something like a grand burial?"

"Hush!" The old farmer quickly waved his hands, "Sir, don't talk nonsense, beware of people from the Sword League trying to trouble you."

The scholar shook his head and continued walking, but saw the little boy on the donkey squinting his eyes, looking at the direction down the mountain, and rubbing his eyes from time to time.

"Little four." The scholar rubbed Xiaowa's face, "What are you looking at?"

The fat baby called Xiao Sizi suddenly pointed down the mountain, "Yun."

The scholar didn't quite understand, "Yun?"

"Gone with the wind..." Little Four said while raising his hand.

Following his movements, the scholar and the old farmer driving the cart saw something white flash, which seemed to stick to the mountain wall with a "swish" sound, and after passing over them... disappeared.

"Is it Yun? Daddy?" the fourth son asked the scholar.

The scholar thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly, "I didn't see clearly."

……

At this time, there were several sounds of gongs clearing the way from below.

The fourth son took a look, then quickly turned around and grabbed his father's sleeve, "Look, dad, there are a lot of people!"

The scholar glanced back, surprised.

It's not surprising that there are so many people, but I saw the clear "fair and honest" sign.

"It's really here!" The old farmer also looked back.

"Who's here?" the scholar asked curiously.

"Sir, you really don't know anything. There was such a big case in Daofu Town, which attracted Kaifeng Prefecture Governor Bao. Why don't you come here to investigate the case?"

……

Down the mountain.

Grand Master Pang looked up at the thin and long Yixian Tian, ​​and felt that it was necessary to measure his waistline to see if he could squeeze it in.

Mr. Bao is a little worried. There are so many people walking up in a row. I don't know how long it will take to walk. Is it possible to leave some people at the bottom of the mountain.

Zhan Zhao stood in front of the entrance of Yixiantian, looking up the mountain... from afar, he saw someone on the mountain road, walking quite slowly.He has good eyesight, and when he saw a fat baby sitting on a donkey, who looked very cute, he waved to him.

The fourth son also saw a man in red at the foot of the mountain beckoning to him from a distance, so he beckoned too.

The scholar pinched his face, "Who are you waving at?"

"There is an older brother." The fourth son pointed to Zhan Zhao at the foot of the mountain.

Zhan Zhao wants to tease the children half a mountain away, Bao Zheng is helpless, Zhan Zhao has two major hobbies in life - tasting delicious food and teasing all kinds of small animals, including children.

"My lord, let's go up after a while. There are old people and children who may walk slowly." Zhan Zhao turned back and said to Bao Zheng.

Master Bao nodded, indicating that this is the way to do it, and he still pointed at Pang Ji behind him, "Let him lay the back for a while, in case the carriage accidentally falls, the pad will not fall apart with him, if he leaves In front, if we roll down, then we are not the same as the Central Committee."

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips and suppressed a smile, while Pang Ji pricked up his ears behind him and asked, "Bao Zheng, are you speaking ill of me?!"

Pang Ji's roar was full of energy, and it spread far away, and the scholars on the mountainside also heard it, and looked down in surprise, and saw a person standing next to the man in red shirt who had an extraordinary temperament but was very dark, My heart trembled - this is the legendary Bao Qingtian?Sure enough, it's so dark!

Just as he was thinking, a group of people ran down the mountain suddenly snoring.

The scholar glanced back, frowned, and saw that there were a few yamen servants and an official behind him. Looking at the official uniform, he should be the magistrate.

"Oh!" The magistrate looked like he was in a hurry to go down the mountain to meet Bao Zheng and the others, but he didn't expect to be blocked halfway, "Get out of the way!" A few yamen servants drove the scholars and the others away.

The little donkey barked and was pushed aside.

The scholar hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, seeing that the fourth son didn't fall or hit him, he breathed a sigh of relief, and frowned at the magistrate, "My lord, how can you push and shove a child?"

The magistrate of that county frowned, "Scholar from where, get out of the way, I'm going down the mountain..."

The scholar sneered, "My lord, you know better than me who is below. If this baby starts to cry at this moment, who do you think he will help?"

The county magistrate was slightly taken aback, and looked the scholar up and down, seeing that he had an outstanding appearance, it seemed that he was not an ordinary person.

"Master Bao, why don't you go up the mountain and wait at the bottom of the mountain, do you understand this?" The scholar smiled slightly, showing a bit of special cleverness and cunning, "Think about it, you are afraid of people in the Jianghu, and if the corpse is not disposed of for a long time, the corpse will be full of plague." In the city, I haven’t solved the case for so long, so be careful..." He said, touching his neck lightly, "Look, how dazzling are the three guillotines at the back? What if someone dies of corpse plague in the city, my lord, It's not that I'm scaring you, you will pay for your life anytime."

A few words shocked the magistrate into a cold sweat.

After all, he has been in the officialdom for a long time, and the magistrate of this county still has some eyesight. He rolled his eyes and made a bow to the scholar, "Sir, what's your name?"

"The surname is Gongsun, and the name is Ce." The scholar also bowed his hands.

"Mr. Gongsun, do you have any good suggestions?"

Gongsun smiled slightly, "It's not difficult for my lord to save the day."

"Please enlighten me, sir! I will definitely thank you..."

"Thank you, no need." Gongsun pointed behind him, "Master Bao should not take this way of flattering and flattering horses, and you don't have to pick him up. Hurry back to the county government office, get more porridge shops, and put rice and food. Relieve the people. When Mr. Bao asked why you didn't dispose of the corpse, you said that you were afraid that those Jianghu people would be arrogant and unreasonable, and they would make a scene and hurt the people in the city."

After thinking about it, the county magistrate felt that his words made sense, so he quickly thanked Gongsun and went up the mountain with his men.

At the foot of the mountain, Zhan Zhao turned his face sideways as if he was listening to something, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, seemed to be in a good mood.

"Guard Zhan, what are you listening to?" Grand Master Pang also turned his face sideways, "Does the mountain breeze sound good?"

"Sounds good!" Zhan Zhao nodded, "It's shrewd!"

The Grand Master was at a loss when he heard it, how could he be smart?

Gongsun sent the county magistrate away, led the little donkey and continued to walk up the mountain, and looked down the mountain while walking.Originally, he wanted to take another look at Bao Zheng. This honest official had a good reputation, so he was interested to see how he would solve the case.

It was only Gongsun who glanced at him, but saw the young man in red and gave him a thumbs up.

Gongsun was slightly taken aback, and touched his chin lightly, there really are capable people beside Mr. Bao.

……

When Gongsun and the others entered the city, Zhan Zhao waved to the people who had already lined up behind him, "Go up the mountain."

So, the patrolling people went up the mountain mightily.

Halfway there, Taishi Pang couldn't move anymore, and all the officials and soldiers in the government office looked at Zhan Zhao bitterly, which meant that he couldn't carry him on his back, let's say at least two hundred catties for the weight.

In the end, Zhan Zhao had no choice but to ask Pang Ji, "Grand Master, are you afraid of getting dizzy?"

"Why are you dizzy?" The grand master gasped for breath, "I'm already too dizzy."

"That's good." Zhan Zhao reached out and lifted Grand Master Pang's belt, and jumped up...

Everyone saw that he leaped up into the air like a swallow with a "swish", then fell, and landed firmly in front of the city gate on the top of the mountain.

Grand Master Pang sat down on the ground, feeling dizzy.

When the grand master finally woke up, Bao Zheng and the others also arrived, and everyone went into the city together.

Master Bao entered the city gate and found that there were no officials to greet him, but the streets were clean, the business was lively, and there were porridge shops and medicine shops helping the poor, so the corners of his mouth twitched a little.

Pang Ji was not happy, "What kind of county magistrate is so incapable of being a man, he doesn't know how to greet him."

Bao Zheng rolled his eyes at him again, and led everyone to the county government office.

Zhan Zhao looked around, and at a glance saw the entrance of the inn not far ahead, and the clerk was leading a cute little donkey to the back.

"My lord." Zhan Zhao said to Bao Zheng, "I want to look around."

Bao Zheng nodded. He admired Zhan Zhao very much. Regardless of his young age, he smiled cutely and was full of ideas. Zheng just nodded to him and never shook his head.

Leaving the mighty team, Zhan Zhao entered the inn.

Pang Ji leaned over and asked Bao Zheng, "Is Guard Zhan hungry?"

Bao Zheng stroked his beard, "Of course he has his reasons."

Pang Ji was silent for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Hey, old Bao, tell me the truth."

Bao Zheng looked at him puzzled, "What do you explain?"

"You are very kind to Zhan Zhao!" Pang Ji chuckled, "May I ask you, is he your son?"

Bao Zheng stared at him for a while, then suddenly opened his mouth, and spat fiercely, "I am!"

The grand master wiped the saliva on his face depressedly, wondering if black would be contagious...

Zhan Zhao wandered into the inn, scanned the ground floor, and went up to the second floor. Sure enough, he saw Gongsun and the fourth son sitting at the table ordering food.

The fourth son caught sight of him, and Zhan Zhao looked at him for a moment, then smiled.

Most children are very sensitive and can sense the kindness or malice of others. Zhan Zhao's smile made him laugh.

Gongsun lowered his head after ordering, and saw the fourth son smiling at the stairs, so he also looked up...

When Gongsun saw Zhan Zhao, his eyes lit up. He is a very energetic young man, and his gentleness is really special. He is like a beautiful jade but does not hide his sharpness.

Zhan Zhao also feels refreshed, this scholar is really special, and his gentle manner seems to have a bit of the casualness of a quack, but it can be seen that it should be due to his personality, not because of his kung fu, and he is pleasing to the eye when paired with a little doll!

Zhan Zhao knew him well, and walked to the table, "My next Zhan Zhao, sit together?"

Gongsun smiled, it turned out that this is the well-known Southern knight.

After I introduced myself, Gongsun asked the waiter to add some tableware, and Zhan Zhao ordered a few more dishes as a generous treat.

After a few words, we became acquainted with each other. We ate while chatting, and drank some wine.

The restaurant is lively, and the outside of the restaurant is not deserted either.

Just as Bao Zheng and Pang Ji entered the county government with their mighty team, another mighty team also entered the city.

Seeing so many rivers and lakes with big swords and black veils enter the city, the passers-by all around became nervous.

There were quite a few people watching upstairs, and Zhan Zhao also poked his head out to take a look, and caught sight of Dao Xingfeng, who was walking at the front of the line with a sullen face.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly - Dao Xingfeng has been famous for [-] years, this person has grown from an unknown person to the current leader of the Dao League, and he is definitely not easy to deal with.Dao Xingfeng has thirteen other sects of the same size besides the Duan Dao Sect who was exterminated, forming a Dao Alliance with huge power.And his saber skills should not be underestimated. Although Zhan Zhao has never fought against him, I heard that this man is good at using sharp knives.

Dao Xingfeng walked quickly, as if he was going to the Yamen.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, then patted the fourth son's head and said to Gongsun, "Sir..."

Gongsun smiled slightly, "Brother Zhan, hurry up and go back to the Yamen to help, we are staying in the inn, we will meet again if we have a chance."

Zhan Zhao nodded with a smile, "Definitely." After speaking, he went up to the roof without going downstairs, and rushed to the yamen first.

Gongsun and the fourth son also went downstairs after finishing their meal.

Gongsun asked the fourth son to wait at the door, and he went to the back to lead the donkey.

The fourth son stood obediently by the door, and saw a girl not far away, sitting and crying.

The fourth son saw that this girl looked familiar, and thought...it seemed to be the girl who sang in the building just now, and Zhan Zhao gave her a piece of silver. The girl was very happy, why did she cry in a blink of an eye?

"Sister." The fourth son walked over to her and asked, "Why are you crying?"

The little girl looked up to see Xiao Sizi, she was a little surprised as she wiped her face stained with tears and mud from her hands.

The fourth son wiped her face with a handkerchief, "Why are you crying? You fell down?"

The little girl was sobbing, "The money that young master gave me just now, I was going to buy medicine for grandpa, but it was snatched by two hooligans."

"It's so bad!" The fourth son seemed dissatisfied, but he felt that he didn't have any money, so when his father came, he asked him for some money for the girl.

Just as he was thinking, a hand was stretched out, and the fourth son saw a white sleeve, the fabric was very elegant, and a white, beautiful hand.

The man's hand was neither thick nor thin, with well-defined joints, clean and well-proportioned. While the fourth son admired the beauty of this hand, he put a piece of silver in the girl's hand.

The little girl looked up, but there was no one in front of her.

The fourth son hurriedly turned around and rubbed his eyes—is it a hallucination?The moment he turned around, he seemed to see the cloud flying on the mountain road just now!

When Gongsun came back, he was a little puzzled to see the fourth son and a girl staring at each other.

At this time, not far away, two local ruffians suddenly ran over and knelt down in front of the girl with a plop.

The little girl was startled, and hurriedly put away the money for fear of being robbed again, but after a closer look, how did these two hooligans change?

"Aunt...Auntie, here is the money." The local ruffian obediently returned the money he had just grabbed to the girl.

The little girl was in a daze holding the silver.

The two hooligans begged her, "Grandma, let us take care of grandpa for a month? Please!"

Gongsun looked at it for a long time, then tilted his head - oops!The folk customs of this knife and ax town are simple and honest!The hooligans are so enthusiastic.

On the second floor of a restaurant not far away.

A noble young man in a purple gown stood by the window, shaking his head, "Why bother for an irrelevant girl."

Not far behind, a man in white just opened the door and came in. He didn't know whether he heard it or not. He went to the table, took something, turned around and left again.

The man in purple sighed helplessly and shook his head, "It's so cold, I don't care about people, when will you smile, will it rain red from the sky?"
