[75] I treat you as a brother

Chao Chao wanted to ask about the mystery on the paper crane—how could Zhan Zhao touch a few handfuls of it and find out a complete sentence even though there was nothing there?

It's a pity that before he had time to ask out the curiosity in his heart, Zhan Zhao had already got up, neatly put the jade ears on the table into a box, and at the same time told him: "Pack up your things, we'll leave overnight."

Wang Chao responded, turned around and was about to leave. After walking a few steps, he still couldn't help being curious, and said, "Brother Zhan, forgive me... that jade ear just now..."

Zhan Zhao still put his hands on the box, and when he asked, he didn't hide it: "It's the one stolen by the Cao family, and it's also the amazing 'Tiantian ear' that the people have passed on."

Wang Chao frowned and turned around suddenly: "Isn't this thing in the hands of the murderer? You said earlier that you couldn't find it anyway?"

"It was before." Zhan Zhao said with a calm expression, "But later, I met someone. She also gave me this thing."

Wang Chao looked at him and frowned: "So, what are your plans?"

After a pause, he suddenly took a few steps closer and lowered his voice: "Brother Zhan, do you have something to hide from me? You, and Fifth Master Bai... What is going on between you?"

Zhan Zhao blinked lightly a few times, but didn't make a sound for a long time.

Chao Chao pursed his lips, feeling a little anxious, but in front of him was Zhan Zhao, someone he respected and trusted, no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't vent his anger on Zhan Zhao.So he forcibly suppressed the bit of eagerness in his heart back intact, and tried his best to calmly say: "Brother Zhan..."

Zhan Zhao sat down at the table again, raised his hand to signal the seat opposite: "Sit."

"I do have something to hide from you." Zhan Zhao said bluntly, "But hiding from you doesn't mean that I don't trust you, it's just that the matter is too unbelievable."

"No matter how bizarre it is, I'm willing to believe you." Dynasty sat down in front of him, his face full of firm trust.

"Okay." Zhan Zhao thought for a while, and pushed the box at hand half an inch forward, "Seven years ago, Mrs. Cao Jiaxin married into the Cao family with this thing—you should have heard of it."

Chao Chao nodded, regarding the Cao family, and this case, he had pieced together everything to figure it out.

Zhan Zhao: "Then you can believe it, this kind of thing - exactly the same thing, Yutang and I saw it on his elder brother with our own eyes four years ago?"

Wang Chao opened his eyes and looked at the box in disbelief: "This... how? Are you sure they are exactly the same? It's not that there are two things in the first place?"

Zhan Zhao opened the lid of the box, and stroked the sword mark with his fingertips: "Do you know where this sword mark came from?"

Wang Chao's mind was clear, and he looked at his giant que.

"That's right." Zhan Zhao said with a smile, "It's because of me."

"Four years ago, I entered Jianghu for the first time. Because I was young and energetic, I didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, so I broke into the den of thieves alone, trying to take down the gang of thieves by myself. I didn't want to be victimized by the enemy's tricks, and almost lost half my life. "

Wang Chao's eyes widened, and he subconsciously straightened his back—he had known Zhan Zhao for many years, and this was the first time he heard him mention the original matter.

Zhan Zhao: "I was seriously injured, and I managed to escape from the den of thieves with all my might, and because I was too seriously injured, I couldn't run far, so I took shelter in a ruined temple to heal my injuries. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, my true energy was blocked, and I almost lost my temper Fortunately, his elder brother Bai Yutang passed by by chance and helped me, not only helped me open up my meridians, but also brought me back to the small building where I was temporarily living."

"I was sent under the fence, hung by various precious medicinal herbs, recuperated for half a month, and finally woke up. When I woke up and opened my eyes, No. 1 was Bai Yutang." Mentioning Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao suddenly smiled softly After a while, "Yutang is two years younger than me, and I was immature at that time, let alone him—but his temper hasn't changed much, and when I woke up, the first thing he said to me was to let me go. "

Wang Chao couldn't help blinking, and thought to himself: Let you go, are you still so happy?

Zhan Zhao: "I don't know how I offended him. I thought it was me, an unknown person who forcibly occupied his house, which annoyed the master, so I reported myself. Who knew that he didn't listen at all, and directly sent him to the house. I was dragged off the bed and almost thrown out the door. Fortunately, his elder brother found out in time when he came back, and snatched me away. It was only later that I realized that Bai Yutang hated me back then, not because of where I came from I don't know, but on the night I was injured, because I was unconscious, I shot and injured his elder brother - the sword mark on Yu'er was left at that time."

Wang Chao listened to his narration, and looked at Yuer in the box: "But... how could the same thing be divided into two? Is it possible... This is what you see, the Cao family's 'Tongtian' Ear' is actually something else?"

"Yutang and I decided to investigate the case of Cao's family at the beginning. We wanted to find Yu'er and see if it was his elder brother's case." Zhan Zhao said, "I have also thought about the possibility you mentioned. Even after the case was concluded, I wondered if the so-called 'Tongtian Ear' didn't exist at all until... I met her."

That day, Zhan Zhao drew his sword out of its sheath without saying a word, wanting to seek justice for Bai Yutang, and to test the opponent's kung fu by the way.

However, the other party didn't seem to intend to fight him, not only refused to pull out his weapon, but what shocked Zhan Zhao was that the other party seemed to be very familiar with his kung fu methods. Where the trick wants to land, so as to avoid it accurately.

The two went back and forth a lot of tricks, but Zhan Zhao didn't take any advantage.

When he was forced out of the suppressed blood in his heart, when he flicked his long sword and wanted to make a real move, the opponent suddenly jumped away and threw the jade ear that he had been looking for for many days.

At the same time, he told him a secret that he couldn't believe no matter what, but he dared not believe it.

The woman in black: "After a while, Bai Yutang will die, and you will be seriously injured—you don't have to believe me, or you can kill me with a sword as if I'm talking nonsense, but if you care about Bai Yutang's life, you are willing to kill me." Giving me even a little bit of trust, a few days later, when you arrive in Qizhou, remember to come to Qiuliang Temple to find me."

Zhan Zhao's fingers curled up slightly, originally he didn't believe a word of the other party's nonsense, but after seeing Bai Yutang's subpoena, his heart ached.

He gritted his teeth and thought to himself: When he meets Bai Yutang in Qizhou, he will tie Bai Yutang up and tie it to his waistband.

"If someone wants his life." Zhan Zhao said in his heart, "then you have to step on my dead body first."
