Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Zhao Pu left the barracks for no reason and went to Daofu Town. This was originally a big event. It stands to reason that with the official status of Bao Zheng and Pang Ji, it is not easy to ask him too much. Don't care about him.But no matter why Zhao Pu came here, it was obvious that he was assassinated, so Bao Zheng couldn't ignore it, and Pang Ji had to pay close attention to this Bodhisattva.

Bao Zheng ordered people to bring the body and the assassin who was saved by Gongsun back to the Yamen, and dragged the unwilling Zhao Pu back to the Yamen by the way.

Zhan Zhao was at the back, and when he was about to go back to the yamen with the army, he saw Bai Yutang walking in another direction alone.

Zhan Zhao stood in the middle of the road, looking back.

That white figure was walking in the distance, Bai Yutang's back view was definitely not as handsome as the front one's, his walking posture didn't have the tone of a gentleman, he was very chic and neat, and his movements were quite neat.

Zhan Zhao scratched his chin slightly, for some reason, but just looking at his back, he seemed to have something on his mind.

Zhan Zhao looked back at the large army going away again. If the man in black was Zhao Pu, then Bai Yutang had fulfilled what he promised him, but he hadn't done what he promised to help him find Tan Jin.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, then turned around again.

At the same time, he saw Bai Yutang standing at the entrance of an alley in the distance, looking at him with some amusement for an unknown how long.

Zhan Zhao scratched his head.

Bai Yutang laughed. He just turned around when he saw Zhan Zhao alone in the middle of the road, looking at him for a while, and then looking back at the group of people, circling in circles, like a cat walking around.

The two looked at each other across the street for a while, and Bai Yutang pointed to the distance.

Zhan Zhao looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a tall roof—it was the largest and best inn in Daofu Town. Zhan Zhao understood that Bai Yutang had a lot of money, so he should live there.

Grand Master Pang hadn't said anything about Tan Jin just now, Zhan Zhao wondered if Bai Yutang forgot?Or tell him to go back to the yamen to inquire about it, and have a meal to tease the little four or something?

But Bai Yutang in the distance raised his hand and waved him slightly, as if saying goodbye to him.

Zhan Zhao was still holding on to the giant que with his hands behind his back, while Bai Yutang had already walked into the alley.

Zhan Zhao took two steps to the side, looked into the alley, Bai Yutang seemed to be looking at him too the moment he entered the alley, the slight curve of the corner of his mouth... is that face smiling?

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, and turned his head to chase after Bao Zheng and his team. Anyway, he knew where the white mouse lived, so he first helped to find out about Tan Jin, and when he found out, he went to drink with him later!

Zhan Zhao trotted back to the yamen, and when he passed a small inn near the yamen, he glanced at the window on the second floor, there was a little doll looking at him, and when he saw his head up, he quickly waved.

Zhan Zhao enjoyed watching it, jumped straight up to the second floor, and squatted in front of the window, "Little Four."

Sitting on a small bench, the fourth son could only stick his head out and look out the window. There was no one in the room, and Gongsun didn't know where he went.

"Zhan Zhan." The fourth son lay on the window sill, glanced down, then raised his head to talk to Zhan Zhao, said something, and continued to look downstairs.

Seeing his expression, Zhan Zhao knew he was waiting for Gongsun, so he asked, "Where's your father?"

"Daddy went to buy medicinal materials, and there is still a little left." The fourth son raised his foot to show Zhan Zhao, "I got a blister on my foot, so Daddy won't let me go out."

Zhan Zhao went over to take a look, and saw that the fourth son was wearing wooden slippers with his bare feet. There was a small piece of gauze and some yellow herbs on his little feet, which seemed to have been treated.

"Does it hurt?" Zhan Zhao frowned, did the child get tired from running too much today?

"It doesn't hurt, the new shoes are rubbing your feet." The fourth son, dangling his wooden slippers with his toes hooked, asked Zhan Zhao, "Zhan Zhan, have you eaten yet?"

"not yet, what about you?"

"I have something to eat. Daddy said he was coming back to eat." The fourth son climbed off the small bench, ran to the table and brought a snack box to Zhan Zhao, "Eat?"

Zhan Zhao curiously opened the lid of the box and saw a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes inside. He took a piece and tasted it, surprised, "It's delicious! Where did you buy it?"

"Daddy made it." The fourth son smiled and was quite hospitable, "You can't eat it elsewhere, you should eat more."

Zhan Zhao took another piece, and felt that the fourth son was not as naughty as the boys of the same age except for being a little bit more sluggish and slower to respond. He was very obedient, sensible, and quiet. Gongsun really taught well.

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao asked curiously, "Little Si, where is your mother?"

The fourth son blinked, "I'm still looking for it."

Zhan Zhao was startled, "What are you looking for?"

"Find my mother." The fourth son replied confidently.

"Your mother is gone?" Zhan Zhao was surprised.

The fourth son kept shaking his head, "No, I never did."

Zhan Zhao is a sensible person. Thinking about it—it is impossible for Gongsun to have such a big child at such a young age. Maybe the fourth son was adopted by him, which makes sense.

Immediately accepting this topic and not asking any more, Zhan Zhao chatted with the fourth son about cakes, such as sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and mung bean cakes, both of them had similar tastes.

……

While we were chatting, suddenly, a dark shadow rushed in from outside the window.

The fourth son was startled, what a big black cloud!

Zhan Zhao saw a man in black rushing in, and he closed the window in one go.

Turning their faces and looking at each other, the black shadow raised his fingers and let out a long cry, "Hush!"

Zhan Zhao frowned, isn't this Zhao Pu!

Zhao Pu listened attentively, and it seemed that no one was coming downstairs, so he was relieved and sat down at the table to drink some tea.

Zhan Zhao asked him, "You ran out again?"

Zhao Pu pursed his lips and shook his head, "Bao Xiang and Pang Ji are too wordy, they insist on sending me back to Kaifeng, or else go back to Heifeng City, I haven't finished my business yet."

"Someone is going to assassinate you, so it's normal for them to be worried." Zhan Zhao also went to the table, saw the fourth son was still standing by the window, and looked at Zhao Pu curiously with wide eyes.

Zhan Zhao waved to him with a smile, "Little Si, come and sit down."

The fourth son slipped behind Zhan Zhao, poked out half of his head to look at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu took a sip of water, saw that the baby was chubby, white and tender like a peach, serious and cute, so he stretched out his hand and pinched him, "Your room?"

The fourth son nodded.

"I'll leave as soon as I avoid it." Zhao Pu winked at him, "There are wolves chasing me."

Zhan Zhao shook his head.

The fourth son opened his eyes wide, "Are you afraid of wolves?"

Zhao Pu laughed, "Why aren't you afraid of wolves?"

The fourth son nodded, "I'm afraid."

Seeing that the fourth son was dumbfounded, Zhao Pu put a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake into his mouth, and ate a piece by himself, nodding in approval, "En! Not bad!" He ate another piece while talking.

The fourth son chewed on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and kept staring at Zhao Pu.

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, wondering if the fourth son thought Zhao Pu's eyes were strange and that's why he was looking at them?

After all, Zhan Zhao and Zhao Pu are not very close, so I don't know how his temper is.There are no rumors about this person in the world, but there are many rumors in the court. His reputation is worse than that of Bai Yutang.

"Little..." Zhan Zhao just wanted to tell the fourth son to stop staring at Zhao Pu, but he heard the fourth son suddenly ask Zhao Pu, "But you are a bear, why are bears afraid of wolves?"

"Pfft..." Zhao Pu took a mouthful of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and sprayed it all over the table.

With quick eyesight and quick hands, Zhan Zhao snatched the box of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes on the table and saved the remaining half box of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes.

Zhao Pu looked at the fourth son while coughing, pointed to his nose, "Xiong..."

The fourth son hid behind Zhan Zhao, and said seriously, "Daddy said you're a bitch."

Zhao Pu opened his mouth wide and stared at the fourth son in a daze, as if he had suffered a heavy blow.

Zhan Zhao was a little worried that the fourth son would offend Zhao Pu, so he smiled and said, "Tongyan has no taboo."

"Wait!" Zhao Pu waved his hand suddenly, looking at the fourth son with a serious expression.

The fourth son hid a little behind Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao quickly protected him, and saw Zhao Pu squinted his eyes and hooked his finger at the fourth son, which means, come out!

The fourth son poked his probe out and aimed at Zhao Pu.

"You said that scholar just now was your father?" Zhao Pu asked Zhan Zhao's unexpected words, "How old are you?"

The fourth son tilted his head, "Four years old."

Zhao Pu curled his lips, "Is there a four-year-old who is so short?"

The fourth son seemed unhappy, pouted, "Four and a half years old!"

"Three and a half years old." Zhao Pu shook his head.

"It's almost four and a half years old!" The fourth son was anxious.

Zhan Zhao is funny, Zhao Pu seems to have a different focus from normal people.However, Zhan Zhao also felt that with Zhao Pu's identity and his demeanor, he shouldn't be serious with a child. As expected, the rumors were not credible.

"Your father looks like he is only in his twenties, so he got married so early and still has a son as big as you?" Zhao Pu reached out to wipe the table with his sleeve, and then shook his sleeve. The movement was so natural, Zhan Zhao shook his head so sloppy, What kind of prince is this...

"Sure!" Zhao Pu said to himself, "This scholar looks quite serious, you can't be fooled by his appearance!"

"Daddy isn't married!" the fourth son replied.

"Oh?" Zhao Pu opened his mouth even wider, "I can't tell, it's amazing to be so big without getting married."

"Daddy is amazing!" Seeing Zhao Pu praising his grandson, the fourth son liked Zhao Pu very much, and moved out from behind Zhan Zhao.

"Oh? You also know how great your father is!" Zhao Pu clicked his tongue twice and smirked at the fourth son, "How old is your father?"

"24 years old." The fourth son replied.

"You are four and a half years old, isn't it nineteen..." Zhao Pu shook his head, "But 19 is not too early, it's normal."

"Who said 19 years old." The fourth son was so proud, "14 years old!"

"Isn't it?!" Zhao Pu was startled, "14 years old?"

"Yes!" The fourth son nodded, "The fourth son is only 14 years old..."

"Ambition!" Zhao Pu didn't wait for the fourth son to finish speaking, clapping his hands while giving the fourth son a thumbs-up.

"You don't laugh at me?" The fourth son looked at Zhao Pu in surprise, "I said before, everyone laughed at me."

"I'm not laughing at you." Zhao Pu stretched out his hand to pat the fourth son's head, "It's a good thing for a man to have ambition, and one must have lofty goals in life!"

"Xiong Xiong, you are good!" The fourth son grabbed Zhao Pu's knee and started to like him very much.

Zhao Pu raised his lips, "Xiong Xiong is not bad, but he is not a bear, but a hero!"

"Yeah!" Little Four nodded, "Hero!"

Zhao Pu bared his teeth at Zhan Zhao, what does that mean—awesome, right?It's changed!

Zhan Zhaofu's forehead... Are these two people talking about the same thing?

After Zhao Pu ate the osmanthus cake and a few peanuts, he ran to the window and opened it to look out.

Zhan Zhao curiously asked the fourth son, "Sir, why do you want to be 14?"

"Being a miracle doctor." The fourth son replied, "Daddy became a miracle doctor at the age of 14!"

The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched—as expected, chickens and ducks are talking!

Zhao Pu saw people coming and going below, and there was not much movement, so he wanted to run away.

"Wait!" Zhan Zhao grabbed him, "Are you going to leave like this?"

Before Zhao Pu could speak, a man fell out of the window, his red head dazzling in the sunlight.

"Tsk." Zhao Pu grabbed him and dragged him in, "I tell you to keep a low profile! With such a big head like egg yolk, you still have the face to dangle in the sun!"

It was Ouyang Shaozheng who was dragged in.

Ouyang touched his head with some dissatisfaction, "This head is the rarest thing in my life, sir, don't hide it!" Ouyang waved his hand to Zhao Pu, "Master Bao said, either you go back to the Yamen, or he will leave now Back to Kaifeng."

"Why go back to Kaifeng?" Zhao Pu pouted.

"He said to file a complaint with the empress dowager."

Zhao Pu immediately frowned as if he had been devastated, "This old man doesn't care about human kindness at all."

"If someone wants your life, of course you have to be careful." Ouyang was used to being crazy with Zhao Pu before, but he was quite sober at the critical moment, "But having said that, we were careful enough along the way, and we didn't find anyone following us. Where did it come from?"

"It was a temporary idea." Seeing that he couldn't leave, Zhao Pu went back to the table and sat down, took a teacup and continued to drink tea.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "Is there someone in Daofu Town who wants to kill you?"

Zhao Pu raised his face, "Unless there are any foreigners here, there shouldn't be any. I haven't been back to the Central Plains for a long time, and I don't have any enemies."

"Foreigners..." Zhan Zhao's heart moved slightly, thinking of Yao Ziling, but he felt that it shouldn't be so evil...

Zhan Zhao naturally wouldn't talk nonsense without certain evidence, but Bai Yutang's expression just now made him a little concerned.

Zhao Pu seemed to have nothing to do with Bao Zheng, he hooked his fingers at Ouyang, "Let's go, let's talk when we go back."

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhan Zhao wanted to go back and ask Taishi Pang about Tan Jin, so he got up together and asked Zhao Pu, "Speaking of which, why did you come to Daofu Town all of a sudden?"

Zhao Pu was slightly taken aback, looking at Zhan Zhao, seemingly thoughtful.

Ouyang came up to Zhao Pu and whispered in Zhao Pu's ear, "Now that you are watched so tightly, it's inconvenient to do things, why don't you ask someone to help you? Zhan Zhao looks very capable."

Zhan Zhao smiled, "Whether you can do it or not depends on the situation."

Zhao Pu crossed his arms and thought for a while, "Hmm..."

He was about to speak when the door suddenly opened.

Everyone raised their heads and met Gongsun who came in from the door carrying two big bags.

"Daddy!" the fourth son called out, and ran over to hug his legs as usual.

Gongsun stared at Zhao Pu, a little wary, "Why are you here?"

Zhao Pu opened his mouth for a long time, "Passing by..."

Ouyang rolled his eyes at him - can you talk nonsense with some sincerity?

Zhan Zhao rubbed his nose—the atmosphere is so delicate, Gongsun Ce is usually considered gentle and refined, although he can see that he has a bad temper, but he is very bookish and gentle, how come he sees Zhao Pu like a hedgehog, does he really have old grudges?

Gongsun threw the two large packages of medicinal materials aside, and it hit Zhao Pu's feet impartially.

"Hiss..." Zhao Pu hurriedly took a step back. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. Why is this scholar so reckless?

Gongsun stretched out his arms to pick up the fourth son, seeing that Zhan Zhao was there, his expression improved a little, he carried the fourth son to the table and sat down, and asked Zhan Zhao, "Brother Zhan, have you eaten yet?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "Not yet."

"Shall Zhan Zhan go to dinner together?" The fourth son likes Zhan Zhao very much.

"Okay, I'll go back to Kaifeng first, I'll ask some questions later, how about we go and have dinner with Bai Yutang?" Zhan Zhao pointed to the magnificent inn in the distance, "It looks very nice there."

Before Zhan Zhao's words came out, before Gongsun and the fourth son nodded in agreement, Zhao Pu leaned over and asked, "Was that Bai Yutang just now?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Yes."

Zhao Pu seemed a little surprised, "Is Bai Yutang the disciple of Tianzun?"

Zhan Zhao nodded again, "Yes."

Zhao Pu patted Zhan Zhao on the shoulder, "It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Let's be together later, and I'll be the host."

Zhan Zhao smiled, "So polite?"

"To tell you the truth, I need to ask Bai Yutang about some things, and it's appropriate to treat guests to dinner." Zhao Pu said, letting Ouyang open the way.

Zhan Zhao waved his hand, "You guys go first, I'll be back soon after I get back to the yamen."

Zhao Pu nodded, and looked back at Gongsun together with Ouyang Shaozheng.

The fourth son was naturally happy to hear that so many people went to eat together.

But Gongsun glanced at Zhao Pu and frowned, "I still won't go."

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows slightly—he looked up, down, left, and right for a long time again, and he was sure that he really didn't know this scholar!

Seeing that the fourth son wanted to go, Gongsun said, "Daddy is going to the yamen to see a doctor for the uncle who burned his tongue just now. You can go to dinner with Zhan Zhao later, and come back to the yamen with him after dinner."

"Daddy isn't going to eat?" The fourth son seemed very disappointed.

"Let's eat later, the man's illness can't be delayed." Gongsun pinched his face.

"The little four didn't eat anymore, so he helped Daddy."

"What can I do for you? Go eat. If you don't eat, you won't grow taller." Gongsun said while packing the medicine box.

Ouyang asked Gongsun curiously, "That man's tongue is burnt, can it be cured?"

Gongsun nodded, but he didn't answer, very cold.

The fourth son helped and said, "Daddy can cure any disease."

Gongsun took the medicine box, took the fourth son by the hand and went out to the yamen. He didn't even look at Zhao Pu when he passed by, as if he didn't exist at all.

Zhan Zhao looked up at the sky and pretended not to see it. Seeing Gongsun going out, he hurried over to help hug the fourth son who was not able to walk well, and ran to find Grand Master Pang.

Zhao Pu stood in front of the door with his arms crossed and his brow wrinkled from the word "ji" to the word "chuan". He still couldn't remember when he had offended Gongsun.

Ouyang patted him, "It shouldn't be your fault."

Zhao Pu pointed at Ouyang, "Could it be that you offended him..."

Ouyang rolled his eyes at him, "Didn't you see that he hated both of us at the same time?"

Zhao Pu impatiently asked, "What the hell is that? Did we offend him together?"

Ouyang thought for a while, "I think he might hate being a soldier."

Zhao Pu was slightly taken aback, seemingly puzzled.

"Oh, forget it, let him go and eat." Ouyang kicked Zhao Pu, "I'm lucky to meet Bai Yutang this time, maybe I can find some clues."

Zhao Pu patted the shoe prints on his trouser legs and whitened him, "Did you ever think that I am your big boss when you kicked him?"

Ouyang grinned and nodded, "Yes, I'm so scared, you cut off my head!"

The two of them quarreled without pain or itching, the two shadow guards Ziying and Zheying were already waiting downstairs, the four of them went to the inn first to look for Bai Yutang.

……

Zhan Zhao hurried back to the yamen, caught Grand Master Pang and asked about Tan Jin.

Grand Master Pang explained it to him carefully, Zhan Zhao didn't know what to say about this matter after hearing it, and full of doubts, he went to find Bai Yutang with his fourth son in his arms.

And as soon as he and the fourth son arrived at the entrance of the inn, they felt... the atmosphere seemed wrong!
