Dragon Pattern Roll Set

When Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao went up the mountain, they ran into Xuanyuan Jue and Xun Yuebai who were hurrying down the mountain.

The two sides met face to face, Xuanyuan Jue and Xun Yuebai were both stunned, obviously a little surprised to meet Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang again.

But Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't show any surprise, after all, were they mentally prepared?

Xun Yuebai reacted relatively quickly, and bowed his hands to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "His Royal Highness, Brother Yin."

Xuanyuan Jue also came to his senses at this moment, and bowed to Bai Yutang reluctantly, "Prince."

Bai Yutang glanced at the two of them and didn't say much, he walked up quickly and went back to his Prince's Mansion, Zhan Zhao followed.

Xuanyuan Jue and Xun Yuebai continued to walk down the mountain.

Seeing that they were going in the direction of the First Prince's Mansion, Zhan Zhao shook his head and continued to go back with Bai Yutang.

Seeing Zhan Zhao's disdain, Bai Yutang asked, "Why?"

Zhan Zhao glanced at the two of them at the foot of the mountain, "Telling stories and playing tricks."

Bai Yutang patted him, "Forget it, these princes are not good birds, let them go, we are not bodhisattvas, even bodhisattvas can't save evil people, we will die by ourselves, if we don't do it, we won't die."

Zhan Zhao smiled, ran up two steps, and poked him, "His Royal Highness, High regard!"

Bai Yutang looked at him helplessly.

But after all, there were so many people outside, and the two of them didn't dare to make a scene like they did in Kaifeng, so they hurried back to the Prince's Mansion.

Needless to say, Mount Futu is really high, the higher you go, the thicker the snow, the colder the weather, and before you know it, there is snow again.

When the two returned to the Prince's Mansion, they saw a row of people standing in front of the mansion.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were a little puzzled. When they went over to look, they found that all the servants were in the pavilion outside the door, and the door was closed. Fu Gao also told everyone, "No one is allowed to peek! Wait obediently."

Bai Yutang was a little curious, and asked Fu Gao, "What's wrong?"

"Report to Your Highness." Fu Gao said, "Madam Bai said that he wants to enjoy the snow, so we all came out and waited."

Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment—appreciating the snow?

Zhan Zhao also touched his chin—is Tianzun going to enjoy the snow or come out to get some air?

Bai Yutang suddenly asked, "Are you all from Beihai Imperial City?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Fu Gao nodded, "When working in the palace, the family members must be in the imperial city, so that if anyone dares to do bad things or act as spies in the palace, even the family members will suffer together."

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, Zhan Zhao also shook his head secretly.

"Then why don't you go home?" Bai Yutang asked.

All the servants were stunned and looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang said, "I'll let you have a big vacation, um...you don't need so many cooks and maids, you don't need so many people, how about you discuss shifts and vacations?"

The servants opened their mouths wide.

Fu Gao also opened his mouth, "But... can you, Your Highness?"

Bai Yutang was a little puzzled, "Why not?" As he said that, he took out a purse and gave it to Fu Gao, "You split it up for them, and let them buy something for their family when they go back. Aren't you a younger sister who is getting married? , leave 1000 taels as part of my contribution..."

Before he finished speaking, a large number of servants in front of him knelt down, wiped their tears and thanked the prince for his kindness.

The corners of Bai Yutang's mouth twitched, and Zhan Zhao didn't understand, he had to thank God when he returned home from vacation?

Fu Gao was so moved, "Many of us haven't been out of the palace since we entered the palace!"

"Then let's go back quickly." Bai Yutang asked Fu Gao if he needed any procedures, and Fu Gao said that he could just tell the management office in charge of the subordinates.Bai Yutang asked Su Yi to take the gold medal and say something, so... for the time being, only Fu Gao and a few servants were left in the mansion, and the rest happily went home with the silver for the holiday.

Fu Gao held the money bag and shook it while distributing the money, the prince is too rich...

When everyone left, the snow was heavy.

Zhan Zhao folded his arms and looked at Bai Yutang, "You are not the prince!"

Bai Yutang was taken aback, and looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "You are a money-spreading boy!"

Bai Yutang couldn't laugh or cry, "It's more convenient if there are fewer people." After speaking, he opened the door and went in to find Tianzun.

It's just that when Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang entered the courtyard, they saw a painting-like scene...

In the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, pine trees, red plums, rockery, stone benches... were all covered with a layer of snow, and snowflakes were still falling from the sky.

Tianzun just sat on the branch of a red plum tree, with the big gauze hat on his knees... The long white gauze hangs down to the ground, floating gently with the wind and snow.

Tianzun seemed to be in a daze, looking at the snow falling in the sky, his silver hair fluttering in the wind, Xiao Wu sat under the tree, some snowflakes had already accumulated on his furry head and back.On the contrary, there was no snowflake on Tianzun's body. When the snowflakes fell on his side, they floated away gently, as if he didn't want to disturb him.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao exchanged glances, then looked in the direction of the room.

Seeing that Hei Ying didn't wear the matchmaker outfit, but was dressed normally, all in black, sitting on the threshold with his chin resting on his back, staring at Tianzun in a daze.That look...he looked like a god, not a mortal...

Bai Yutang shook his head helplessly, and walked towards the house.

Zhan Zhao wants to call Tianzun, don't catch a cold sitting outside in heavy snow.

However, Bai Yutang gently tugged at him and shook his head at him.

Zhan Zhao followed Bai Yutang into the house.

It wasn't until the two of them passed by Heiying that Heiying woke up and found that the two had returned.

Scratching his head, the black shadow followed.

Bai Yutang sat down and poured tea, and Zhan Zhao told Hei Ying that he happened to save the eldest prince, and Hei Ying frowned slightly, "That Xun Yuebai has evil intentions, so beware of him, but who wants to plot against us?" ?”

"That's it." Zhan Zhao smiled, "Since those people have made preparations, they should come back at night and set fire to it, and then they can catch their stolen goods and get them."

Heiying nodded, and then looked at Tianzun outside the door.

"Then what..." Soi Ying was a little curious, and asked Bai Yutang, "Is Tian Zun in a bad mood?"

"He's just in a daze." Bai Yutang smiled.

"In a daze?" Soi Ying didn't quite understand.

"My master has a bad memory." Bai Yutang said, "He forgot some things a long time ago and can't remember them anymore. He would be in a daze for a while every day. I asked him what he was thinking when he was young, and he said I don't know, my mind is blank."

Zhan Zhao looked at Tianzun in the yard, and asked Bai Yutang, "Is it possible that what Tianzun forgot has something to do with his white hair?"

Bai Yutang shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.

"But he didn't think of anything when his hair turned black that day." Zhan Zhao stroked his chin.

"That's true..." Bai Yutang nodded, but seemed to be preoccupied.

While eating dinner, Tianzun yawned, stretched himself on the tree and came down, and Xiao Wu, who was about to become a snow sculpture under the plum blossom tree, suddenly shook the snow on his body, I don't know if it was on purpose Yes, dumped Tianzun.

Tianzun got angry, stretched out his hand and twisted Xiao Wu's ear, "You're so naughty!"

Xiao Wu rubs against him kissingly, as if flattering.

Tianzun tilted his head and patted it on the head, "Well, I must have seen your grandpa or great-grandfather."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were drinking tea in the room, and when they heard Tianzun's words, they were a little curious, "Master?"

"Hmm... I always feel that this black cat looks familiar." Tianzun rubbed his chin and looked at Xiao Wu for a while, then turned his face away, and acted like a spoiled child to Bai Yutang, "I'm starving to death!"

Bai Yutang had no choice but to let Heiying and Tianzun go to hide in the house first, and called Lai Fugao to prepare dinner.

Fu Gao put the food on the table, and Bai Yutang asked, "Why don't you go back?"

"What should I do if the slave has left and there is no one around the prince to do business?" Fu Gao was a little worried.

Bai Yutang thought for a while, "How about this, on the day you are leaving, find a trustworthy person to take over the shift for a few days, it's really not possible, we can go to the street to eat, and save ourselves from being bored in the palace."

"Oh, that's fine!" Fu Gao nodded, "My sister is going to have a wedding these few days, and tomorrow I will take three days off to see her."

Bai Yutang nodded.

After setting out the food, Fu Gao was about to leave. Before he left, he went back together and whispered to Bai Yutang, "Prince, are you very close to General Zhao Pu of the Song Dynasty?"

Bai Yutang froze for a moment, then nodded, somewhat puzzled why Fu Gao asked Zhao Pu.

"The slave just met a messenger from the palace nearby, saying that Zhao Pu of the Great Song Dynasty sent an envoy to send a letter to the emperor." Fu Gao whispered, "It's so mysterious!"

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao exchanged glances - Zhao Pu sent a letter?

After people leave, everyone sits down to eat.

Talking about Zhao Pu's delivery of the letter, Soi Ying told what he heard last night about the tens of thousands of Northern Navy soldiers frozen in the northern glacier.

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth in surprise, "There are fewer and fewer officers and soldiers in Beihai, could they all be buried there?"

Soi Ying shrugged, "I don't know."

Bai Yutang also frowned, "How could it be possible for tens of thousands of soldiers to drown or freeze to death in a glacier all at once? In a blizzard or the glacier cracked?"

"It's impossible to wipe out the whole army, right?" Zhan Zhao has always been soft-hearted. When he heard that so many people died, he somehow thought of those old men who served the plates in the tavern just now. He didn't know their sons who never came back after they joined the army. Did they also die in that cold glacier?

"It's not impossible." Tianzun said to himself, "It's just that there are not many people who can do it."

All three looked at Tianzun, "What should I do?"

Tianzun fed Xiao Wu with a meatball, and said, "When the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have reached the center of the glacier, they slapped the ice surface with one palm, shattering the entire surface of the glacier, and when the soldiers fell into the river, Then he slapped the glacier...frozen the surface of the river, so...he froze to death and drowned."

After Tianzun finished speaking, Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Hei Ying were all so surprised that they couldn't speak.

Bai Yutang thought for a while and asked, "There aren't many people in the martial arts world who can do this kind of thing, right?"

"I can do it, so can the old ghost and the great monk." Tianzun held his chin, "Others, among the people I know, there are probably no more than five, and you and Zhan Xiaomao together may be fine. If He Da Some tsks... have to add Zhao Pu and Xiao Linzi."

"Do you need four people?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Yeah." Tianzun nodded, "The combined age of the four of you is not as old as that old ghost and me, so your internal strength is not bad... Added up, it should be fine."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang squinted at Tianzun.

Tianzun smirked, "Oh, a child is a child... ahaha..."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao felt powerless.

After finishing the meal, Su Yi came running over, "Your Highness, the Emperor has a request to discuss something."

Bai Yutang was a little puzzled, "What's the matter?"

"It's like this. An envoy from the Song Dynasty came earlier." Su Yi said, "He came to deliver a letter for Zhao Pu. After reading the letter, the emperor asked His Highness to enter the palace for discussion."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, got up, and followed Su Yi to the palace.

In the palace, Xuanyuan Jie received the envoy in the study.

Then the envoy is sitting on the chair and drinking tea, it seems that Xuanyuan Jie is very polite to him.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were speechless when they saw the envoy - how about it, Zhe Ying.

"Yu'er, do you know him?" Xuanyuan Jie asked Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhe Ying, who smiled at him and nodded.

Bai Yutang also nodded, "Yes."

Xuanyuan Jie nodded, "Master Zhe seems to be a real emissary, not a spy or someone who came to deceive people."

Zhe Ying smiled, and said to herself—fortunately, Bai Yutang was clever enough.

"Yu'er, read the letter." Xuanyuan Jie handed Zhao Pu's handwritten letter to Huai Mi.

Huai Mi took it to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang opened it and frowned slightly. Zhao Puxin said that the soldiers of the wolf king Xiao Tonghai found a large number of unknown corpses in the glaciers outside Beihai, and found that they were all wearing Beihai livery.Xiao Tonghai told Zhao Pu about the matter, and Zhao Pu took someone to check it himself last night, and found that it was indeed the corpses of Beihai soldiers, and the number was astonishing.So Zhao Pu wrote to ask Xuanyuan Jie if he had any troubles or what happened?Why did so many people die in the glaciers outside.

After reading the letter, Bai Yutang secretly wrote the word "serve" to Zhao Pu... Not only was the wording forceful and very chic, it was worthy of his status as a famous commander, and his words were casual but sincere, almost watertight.

"The letter from the Ninth Prince, I am really flattered!" Xuanyuan Jie had a rare smile, I don't know if it was because he tried not to show his foolish side in front of Bai Yutang, or because he was addicted to being a loving father these days, Xuanyuan Jie The amiable Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt uncomfortable.

Even Zhe Ying felt that the information was wrong?Is this a tyrant?I don't think so.

"I, Yu'er, have friendship with your general." Xuanyuan Jie said, "Why don't you just hand this matter over to Yu'er and ask him to investigate..."

While speaking, there were guards outside reporting back, "Report to the emperor, the eldest prince and the third prince have arrived."

Xuanyuan Jie nodded, "Let them in."

After a while, the First Prince and the Third Prince came in and saluted Xuanyuan Jie.

Xuanyuan Jie said, "The case of the unexplained disappearance of soldiers that has troubled me for a long time now has a clue!"

"Really?" The two princes were pleasantly surprised, but after asking, they looked at each other again, and they didn't like each other very much.

"Thanks to the letter from the Ninth Prince to inform you that the two of you will investigate this matter together with Yu'er. Remember, everything is subject to Yu'er's arrangements, and nothing can be done wrong!" In comparison, they are completely like two people.

Zhe Ying has always been gossiping, drinking tea and looking left and right - could it be that these two are not biological?

"Father." At this time, the third prince cupped his hands, "Eldest brother and I are both busy with the hunting season and rewarding gods and offering sacrifices to heaven, so..."

"Well, otherwise, you two go to one, and find two princes to help you." Xuanyuan Jie said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the third prince said, "Why don't you let the fourth brother and I be responsible for the preparations for rewarding the gods and offering sacrifices to the heavens, and the eldest brother will lead people to accompany the prince to investigate the case."

The eldest prince squinted at the third child, which means - you are quite good at picking!Who doesn't know that rewarding God is an easy job, you rush to do it, let me follow Bai Yutang to Zhao Pu's barracks.It is said that Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu have a close relationship, so who is Zhao Pu?Don't be unhappy and kill me...

It's just that the eldest prince was almost punished for bumping into Bai Yutang before, so now he doesn't dare to say anything, let alone disobey Xuanyuan Jie's orders.

Therefore, Xuanyuan Jie nodded and waved his hand, "Let's do it like this... You also bring someone along with you."

"Hmm..." The First Prince thought for a while, "Royal Father, shall I take Old Ten there?"

Xuanyuan Jie nodded, "Well, that's fine, both of you go to Zhao Pu's barracks to see and see, it's a rare opportunity, and learn how to use soldiers from the Ninth Prince."

"Yes, I obey the order." The eldest prince was just agreeing, but Bai Yutang said, "Actually, we can't go to so many people."

The eldest prince looked at him.

"The guards at Zhao Pu's barracks are very strict. To avoid suspicion, it's better to go less. I have a good friendship with him, and I don't want to cause trouble for him." Bai Yutang said, "One is enough for the eldest prince. Bring a few guards, and the others are free. Bar."

Xuanyuan Jie frowned, "Yu'er, I have someone to take care of me."

Bai Yutang smiled, "Zhao Pu will be unfavorable to me...Moreover, there may not be enough people to take care of me."

With that said, Bai Yutang looked at the First Prince.

The eldest prince's face was flushed red, and he couldn't speak. Bai Yutang must have tried to harm him by undermining his brothers.

Xuanyuan Jie smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's do it like this."

Afterwards, everyone bid farewell to Xuanyuan Jie and left, and Zhe Ying followed Bai Yutang to stay at the Prince's Mansion for one night.

It was a coincidence that they ran into Xuanyuan Jue and Xun Yuebai just passing by.

The two of them obviously got wind that Zhao Pu had sent an envoy.

When the First Prince went out, he asked the attendants waiting at the door to pack up his things, and he had to go on a long journey tomorrow morning.

Xuanyuan Jue came up and asked, "Brother Emperor, are you going on a long trip?"

"Yes!" The First Prince nodded, and pointed to Bai Yutang, "Follow him to Zhao Pu's barracks to investigate."

"I'll go too!" Xuanyuan Jue seemed very interested.

The eldest prince was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything about Bai Yutang's refusal, so he said, "Hey, I don't invite many people, let's do it next time."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, Xuanyuan Jue probably gave the eldest prince a lot of ecstasy soup, and treated him very well.

"Why don't you let your subordinates accompany you?" Xun Yuebai asked.

Xuanyuan Jue also nodded, "Yuebai's kung fu is great, and he is familiar with the customs of the Central Plains, why don't you let him accompany you?"

"Uh..." The eldest prince was just about to speak.

Bai Yutang said, "No need, how high can a defeated general be? It's better to take Twelve with him." Then he said to Zhan Zhao, "Twelve, come with me, Zhao Pu likes to make friends the most. , Your personality probably fits him well."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Yes."

Seeing Zhan Zhao's respectful demeanor, similar to how he usually treats Mr. Bao, Bai Yutang held back his smile and led the people away.

Naturally, the eldest prince would not think too much about being a bodyguard. Indeed, since Xun Yuebai was defeated by Yin Twelve, why should he go?Would it be better to bring Yin Twelve?Moreover, Bai Yutang is in charge of everything, this is the emperor's order, so he dare not say anything more.Furthermore, seeing how Bai Yutang and Zhe Ying went down the mountain talking and laughing together, they probably have a strong relationship with Zhao Pu, so it's better not to contradict him right now, or you will have your own guilt.And Bai Yutang had saved his life earlier... The eldest prince also had a slightly better view of him, in short, he was not as annoying as before.

Wait until the First Prince, Bai Yutang and others have left.

Xuanyuan Jue frowned, "This Bai Yutang is really..."

Xun Yuebai sneered, "It doesn't matter, the future will last forever, this time won't work, there will be next time. Anyway, we have things to do, it's just fine if they don't." After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

Xuanyuan Jue just followed Xuanyuan Bai, that way... It seems that Xun Yuebai is the master.

All the way down the mountain.

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Cat, have you found any flaws?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "You also found out?"

"En!" Bai Yutang nodded, "Xuanyuan Jue is a completely different person from before."

Zhan Zhao smiled, "I think so too, and my kung fu has improved."

The two looked at each other - this Xuanyuan Jue is a fake!
