[Rat cat] Jade Xu Luo Qianqiu

As the sky was approaching, Zhan Zhao rolled his eyelids twice, then slowly opened them and then closed them again.There was chaos in his mind, the only thing he could remember clearly was Bai Yutang's anxious voice and that touch of white.

Wait... Bai Yutang!

Zhan Zhao suddenly opened his eyes, suddenly panicked.Yutang, will Yutang be okay? !

The familiar breathing sound of the man came from the ear, and when he turned his head to look over, he could vaguely see the faint blue shadow under the young man's eyes.I didn't wake up from such a big movement, I guess I was very tired...

Looking at that bright and flying face, Zhan Zhao inexplicably felt his nose ache.What a fool to rush in under such circumstances...

Out of the corner of his eyes, he touched the strands of hair that had been burned into curls, pursed his lips, and finally couldn't help but let out a "puchi" laugh.This mouse...

He gently lifted the quilt, and was about to step over the person beside him and get out of bed, but unexpectedly, such a movement woke Bai Yutang awake.Bai Yutang yawned and said vaguely, "Good morning, cat."

"Sleep a little longer." Zhan Zhao tucked in the quilt for Bai Yutang, his soft and warm voice was like an elf's hypnotic spell.Bai Yutang grunted twice, and closed his half-open eyes.Seeing that Bai Yutang had fallen asleep again, Zhan Zhao smiled slightly and was about to turn over and get out of bed.

Unexpectedly... Bai Yutang kicked the quilt away, turned over, put one foot on Zhan Zhao's leg, and wrapped his arms around Zhan Zhao's waist restlessly.Pulling hard, Zhan Zhao hadn't reacted yet, the world was spinning for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he fell into Bai Yutang's arms again.

"Ha ah... cat, you should sleep a little longer, you are so thin, you need to make up your body."

Zhan Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was afraid that if he moved again, he would wake Bai Yutang up again, so he could only stare at the ceiling in Bai Yutang's arms with his cat's eye sockets open, in a daze.

Three poles in the sun.

Bai Yutang stretched his waist, and finally reluctantly bid farewell to the big bed, which was not very comfortable even though he was satisfied.

Or the bed in the cat's room is comfortable...

"Yutang, you're willing to wake up." Zhan Zhao smiled gently, but the hand under the quilt was trying to separate Bai Yutang's hand from his waist.

"Hey..." Bai Yutang gave a few guilty laughs, retracted his hand and scratched his head embarrassingly.However, after thinking about the current situation, his face suddenly darkened, and he wrapped his hands around Zhan Zhao's shoulders, looking straight into those cat eyes. "Mao'er, you took your own life seriously again this time, do you know that you almost scared the fifth master to death?!"

"Uh...sorry, Yutang." This time it was Zhan Zhao who felt guilty, short of breath for a moment, and under Bai Yutang's stern gaze, told the whole story of the cause and effect.

After Bai Yutang listened, veins appeared on his forehead, and his face was so gloomy that he couldn't bear it. Seeing this, Zhan Zhao didn't want to touch his bad luck, so he went to the side to dress and tie his hair.

Hmph, Green Snake, it's best not to let Fifth Lord and I run into you...

"Mao'er, what are you doing, you need to rest more now, do you know that?!" As soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhan Zhao looking ready to go out to investigate the case.

Why is this cat always disobedient? !

"Yutang, it's not that I've lost my arms and legs, and I'm not so weak. Besides, you and I have been wasting a lot of time, and there is probably a backlog of things to deal with now."

"Hmph, if you want Master Wu to tell you, you cat is a hard worker. Don't you know that everything is up to me, and Master Wu will take care of everything when the sky falls?"

"Yes, yes, Fifth Master Bai is the most powerful, get up quickly." Zhan Zhao was amused and helpless, early in the morning, Bai Yutang was playing childish temper again.

However, why does the current Yutang feel a little different from the past?Why is there a feeling that the window paper has been punctured?

Looking up at the man, Bai Yutang was still sitting on the bed puffing his cheeks and pouting.Shaking his head, he probably thought too much...

After changing his clothes, he took the scissors on the cabinet and cut off those few strands of curly hair for Bai Yutang, and then prepared to throw them away.

"Hey, don't!" Seeing this, Bai Yutang hastily fastened his belt, and walked over a few steps to get rid of his hair, "Don't waste things. Although it's curled, it's still very smooth."

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao didn't know why.

Without any warning, Bai Yutang suddenly pointed to Zhan Zhao like the wind.Zhan Zhao was startled, and hastily leaned back, but Bai Yutang didn't expect that this was exactly what Bai Yutang wanted.The untied black hair rose forward with the strength of the back, and Bai Yutang pointed like a knife, cutting a strand from it.

"Yutang, what do you want my hair for?"

"Of course it's to do something well. Mao'er, wait a moment." After speaking, he put his hair and Zhan Zhao's hair together, and twitched his fingers.Slender and flexible fingers wandered through the black hair, and after a while, a black peace knot appeared in front of Zhan Zhao.

"Put it away."

"What?" Zhan Zhao felt his face getting hot.It's not that he doesn't know what makes hair knotting good, but, but it's used on husband and wife, what does it mean that his and Bai Yutang's hair is tied together?Besides, others made a concentric knot, but Bai Yutang made a peace knot, could it be... Could it be that Yutang is not so good at this?No, Bai Yutang's title of "Merry Man in the World" is not for nothing, how could he not know the meaning of this knot?Or...he did it a lot before, so he got used to it?

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao felt as if a stone had been stuffed into his heart, he was a little dull, and his complexion was not as good as before.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao's face from the side, and smiled secretly in his heart, silly cat, Fifth Master wanted to give you a sympathy knot, but if he really gave you, wouldn't it scare you away?

However, Zhan Zhao's expression changed again and again, and Bai Yutang couldn't figure it out for a while.After thinking about it, I realized that the cat might be jealous.

Heh, cats are jealous, it seems that Fifth Master's great career of chasing cats is just around the corner.Not enough, this cat doesn't seem to be enlightened yet, no, Fifth Master, I have to work harder!If other women tricked this dazed cat away, wouldn't Fifth Lord be at a loss? !

"Mao'er, this is the first time Master Wu cut his hair and made it up. You have to put it away carefully to keep you safe, in case something happens to you if Master Wu doesn't keep an eye on you for a while!" Find out from the bag A white kit bag with silver patterns embroidered on the side, put the safety knot in it, tightened the bag mouth, and then put it into Zhan Zhao's hand.

When he raised his head, Zhan Zhao still looked stupid, and couldn't help laughing secretly. "Cat, why are you still staring blankly?"

"Oh," Zhan Zhao was shocked, and reacted suddenly, the heat that had just faded surged up again, and the roots of his ears were red, "Thank you Yutang." He carefully put the kit into his arms, as if he was dealing with a priceless item. fragile porcelain.

Oh... Maybe it's really hard to find, after all, there is only such a thing in this world, this one, there is no other semicolon.

Lobby.

"Brother Zhan, why are your ears turning red, what happened?"

"Oh, it's all right. Is Miss Ding looking for something to do with Zhan?" Zhan Zhao rubbed his earlobe, annoyed in his heart that he was so shy, didn't it mean that Bai Yutang gave him a safety knot!

"Yingying said that the corpse of the Changfu is wrong. One of the servants' corpses was swapped, and the dead one was not a servant of the Changfu at all."

"what?!"

Fortunately, although Chang Yingying looked unreliable, she still had a good memory.Find a painter to draw a picture of the shape and shadow, and distribute it to the yamen servants.All the yamen servants were used to search for it, and within two days, the person was arrested.

It is said that when the yamen servant found him, he was still doing that thing with the beauty in Baihualou.As soon as the yamen servant rushed into the room, the guy's job was immediately frightened and softened.Shaking like sifting chaff, after a while, there was a puddle of yellowish-brown liquid on the ground, which had an unpleasant stench.

When Zhan Zhao saw Wang Mazi, Wang Mazi was kneeling in the lobby, shivering and shivering into a ball.

"Wang Mazi, are you the one who killed everyone in the Chang Mansion?" Although the voice was gentle, it was not angry and majestic.

Wang Mazi knelt down on the ground, seeing the hem of the official uniform with white waves and cloud pattern and the black official boots, he was so timid that he was scared out of his wits.Hastily kowtowed like pounding garlic, weeping bitterly and yelling, "My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life!"

Zhan Zhao frowned, but he didn't expect Wang Mazi to confess so simply. "What's going on? Tell the truth!"

The county magistrate had already stepped aside, and Zhan Zhao was sitting in the presiding judge's seat. When he slapped the gavel, Wang Mazi trembled three times in fright.

"Yes, the villain is obsessed with ghosts. I went out in the middle of the night to relieve myself. On the way back, I was strangled by a masked man in black. The man asked me to put poison into the food. Pour oil around the house and burn it clean. After the work is done, he will give the villain 100 taels of silver. But if the villain does not do what he says, he will kill the villain immediately. Villain, villain It is also a last resort!"

Before Zhan Zhao could speak, Chang Yingying on the side had already cried so much that her eyes were red and swollen. She rushed forward and slapped Wang Mazi twice on the face, and said angrily, "Bastard! So many lives are in your eyes!" It's actually not as good as 100 taels of silver!"

When Chang Yingying rushed out, Zhan Zhao had noticed it, but seeing her crying so hard, he couldn't bear it, so he suppressed the movement to stop her.After Chang Yingying finished venting, she waved her hand pretending to be belatedly, and asked the yamen servant to step forward and pull Chang Yingying away.

"Do you know who the man in black is?"

"Small, I don't know!"

Zhan Zhao leaned back slightly, leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and waved for the yamen servant to take Wang Mazi back to the cell.Sentence whatever you want, anyway...killing for life.It's just that those who died... can never come back.

back room.

"Cat, that silk book is gone!"

"what?!"

"The trouble is, the eagle that can be used for tracking is also dead." Bai Yutang looked annoyed, secretly thinking that he was careless, which made things so difficult now.

"When did this happen?"

"This morning."

"...It seems that Master Chang's death this time is related to what we found in Huajiazhuang before. No matter what, it's best to rush back to Kaifeng now." Zhan Zhao sighed, feeling that he was completely indifferent to these matters. Unable to intervene, any action seems pale and powerless. This passive feeling is really...disgusting.

Seeing Zhan Zhao's lonely expression, Bai Yutang frowned slightly, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Cat, don't think too much, it's not your fault." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and shouted to the far door He said, "Girl, since you're here, why don't you come in?"

Ding Yuehua came in coquettishly from the courtyard gate, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Brother Fifth." Turning to look at Zhan Zhao, "Brother Zhan is leaving for home?"

"Yes, I wonder what Miss Ding's plan is next?"

"I plan to follow you to Kaifeng with Yingying, I don't know what Brother Zhan thinks?"

When Bai Yutang heard it, he secretly thought something was wrong, and said before Zhan Zhao could speak: "It's not right, it's not right."

"Huh?" Brother Wu, what are you doing in such a hurry...

"Ding San girl, although there are many people in Kaifeng mansion, everyone is very busy and has no time to take care of you." Seeing Ding Yuehua's lips move, he was about to refute.Hastily continued: "Little Fifth Brother, I know that you know martial arts, but it's not that I belittle you. It's because your martial arts are really not well-known in this arena. If you are good against second-rate people in the arena, but once you meet them The first-class masters, you must be the ones who suffer. Besides, apart from Aunt Li who cooks, everyone else in the Kaifeng mansion is old men. It is not convenient for you two girls to live in. So listen to Fifth Brother , girl, you take that elder brother, Miss Chang, and go back to Mohua Village obediently, with your elder brother and second elder brother protecting me, Maoer and I can rest assured."

Ding Yuehua was stunned when he heard this, although he didn't want to admit that what Bai Yutang said made sense, but it was the truth.Reluctantly, he looked at Zhan Zhao in an attempt to seek support, but unexpectedly Zhan Zhao nodded slightly to him, apparently agreeing with Bai Yutang's words.

Ding Yuehua was like a discouraged ball in an instant, and he went out of the courtyard to look for Chang Yingying with a dejected expression on his face, and the two of them hit horses and went straight to Mohua Village.

Ebony Mountain Cottage.

"Green Snake, why didn't you inform me of this operation in advance?!"

The Green Snake held the freshly soaked Yuqian Longjing, and gently blew away the curling white mist above it, raised its eyes with great interest, and looked at Chong Suchen who was obviously furious and kicked in the door.

"Heh, Master Zhonggu, I bought this door with five renminbi of silver, remember to give me the money."

"Green snake!"

"Come, come, have a cup of tea, calm down, don't get so angry." Green Snake poured a cup of tea and handed it to Chong Suchen.Chong Suchen pushed it away with one hand, and said coldly: "Hmph, there's no need. Don't do Tai Chi with me, just tell me." He folded his hands across his chest, his eyes were cold.

The green snake "tsk tsk" chuckled twice, and said quietly: "Why didn't you tell me? Master Chonggu himself should know it well."

"I said, I don't care about other things, but you can't touch Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang! Why did you break my promise this time?!"

"Oh, of course it's the Lord's order, otherwise I wouldn't have to go against you." Green Snake seemed to hear some big joke, and laughed so hard that he covered his stomach and tears glistened. "In the past, the Lord promised you not to move Zhan Zhao because Zhan Zhao had not threatened him for the time being. Now, how can the Lord let him go? Now, not only Zhan Zhao, but Bai Yutang is also listed as a must-have." It's on the kill list."

"what?!"

"Besides, I've already kept my hand this time. If I had sprinkled the blood-sealed throat poison in the first place, Zhan Zhao would have died long ago. How can I wait until Bai Yutang rescues him?"

Chong Suchen kept his eyes cold and silent, and after the green snake finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Master Chonggu." The green snake called out, Chong Suchen paused, and stopped. "Don't blame me for not reminding you, it's best to look at Zhan Zhao and the others quickly. This time I counted their luck, but next time I don't know who did it. Do you think they can continue to be lucky?"

Seeing that Zhong Suchen listened, the green snake paused, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and continued: "Besides, since we have worked together for several years, I would like to advise you, don't worry about Mu Yunfeng's illusory things anymore. The bones are left here, hurry up and quit the organization. Once your identity is discovered by Bai Yutang and the others, you will have to be different inside and out."

Chong Suchen paused, remained silent for a while, and said lightly: "I know so many things, do you think I can still withdraw? Since you persuaded me, why didn't you leave?"

"Oh, I was brought back and adopted by the Lord since I was a child. Although the world is vast, I have nowhere else to go except here." The green snake's eyes were dim, with some self-deprecating and faint sadness.With his current appearance, almost no one could connect him with his previous ruthless appearance.

"...Then why do you say that my brother's bones are illusory?"

"Ha, I really can't say this. Anyway, this is my advice, believe it or not." Green Snake shrugged, lowered his head and continued to drink tea.

"...Thank you." After saying a few words, he stepped away, simply and neatly, with only the wind blowing from his sleeves.

When the green snake raised its eyes again, all it saw was the purple robe that disappeared by the door frame.

Master Zhonggu, you haven't paid me back yet...

But... In my lifetime, there will still be people thanking me, it's really... unbelievable...
