[75] I treat you as a brother

Zhan Zhao sat in the guest room, pinching his brows in worry.

"We are traveling abroad, we do have important matters to attend to, and the journey is dangerous, so it is really not easy to take His Highness with us."

The little princess's eyes were red, and she cried and wiped her tears: "I will not cause trouble for you, nor will I delay your business. Brother Zhan, just take me with you!"

Zhan Zhaoxin said: Bringing you along is a trouble in itself, and if you take the initiative to provoke it, wouldn't it be troublesome?

He flatly refused: "No."

He said again: "You sneaked out and didn't return all night. The prince must be very anxious. If I take you away again, it's fine if there is nothing along the way. In case of any accident, how do you ask the next official to tell the prince?" Confession?"

The little princess kicked her legs indiscriminately, and said angrily: "I won't let you explain! I am willing to be with you, even if something happens, I am responsible for it!"

After finishing speaking, Bai Yutang opened the door and came in.

The princess still remembered Bai Yutang's face, and it was the knife in his hand yesterday that almost split him in half.So she immediately closed her mouth, tensing her nerves instinctively.

"If something goes wrong, you will be responsible for it - is this serious?" Bai Yutang looked at her coldly, pushed his knife away with his thumb, "If it is serious, I will not be polite."

After he finished speaking, he really pulled out the knife, and at the same time began to emit murderous aura from the inside out.

The little princess was so frightened that he let out an "ow", grabbed Zhan Zhao's sleeve, and tremblingly wanted to hug him.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and threw the scabbard in his hand with all his strength, and before she could hug Jinjinzhao, he gave her a blow.

The princess screamed again, but this time she didn't burrow around indiscriminately, and just squatted down on the spot, shrinking herself into a quail.

Bai Yutang asked: "Are you still following?"

The Princess quickly shook her head: "No more, no more!"

Only then did Bai Yutang put away his saber and returned the sheath, letting go of the murderous aura all over his body.

Zhan Zhao smiled silently, and gave him thumbs up from the air.

Bai Yutang pretended not to notice, how he got in and how he got out.

Zhan Zhao quickly got up and chased him out.Once outside, he first hugged his wrists: "Thank you, fifth brother, for making a rescue."

Bai Yutang tilted his head: "It's not because of you."

The two went to the front hall side by side, and bumped into Wang Dynasty who came to have dinner.

Zhan Zhao: "It's just in time, I have something to bother you brother."

Wang Chao was gearing up and said, "Brother Zhan has any orders, just say it."

After a moment-

Wang Chao pupil was shocked: "Let me escort that little aunt back to the palace?!"

He waved his hands back again and again: "Brother Zhan, this can't be done, can't be done."

Zhan Zhao took Wang Chao's hands, and said earnestly, "If it wasn't for the important business, I should have gone to this kind of thing."

He sighed, glanced at Bai Yutang at the side, and said in a low voice: "Otherwise... you accompany that old man, and I will send it off?"

Wang Chao also followed his gaze, and suddenly there was a strange look on his face.

"How about..." Wang Chao's face twisted, and he swallowed with difficulty, "Let me go."

Escorting the little Princess is at most a big head, but accompanying Uncle Bai is a fate.

After the task was assigned, everyone gathered around a table and had lunch with their own thoughts.Then they parted ways, returned to Kaifeng Palace one way, and continued on the other way.

The two parties agreed to meet in Tongguan five days later, and then continue northward.

With no one in the way, Zhan Zhao felt much better.

But this comfort didn't last long - usually there was Dynasty, he still had someone to chat with and joke with each other, but now that Dynasty was gone, there was only Bai Yutang left by his side.

And Bai Yutang has been lukewarm towards him ever since his brother's incident happened.

The superficial relationship looks good, but it can't go deep.

Zhan Zhao teased him several times, but there was no response, so he simply gave up, and instead chatted with Bai Fu to relieve boredom.

Bai Fu loves to chat with Zhan Zhao, but every time the chat gets high, he always feels a chill down his spine.Once, he accidentally scanned Bai Yutang, and was surprised to find that his fifth master was staring at him.Bai Fu immediately trembled, and after that, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, and just followed Bai Yutang in a respectful manner.

Three days later, Zhan Zhao and his party arrived in Tongguan ahead of schedule.

Unexpectedly, just arrived at the place, but suddenly heard a strange thing happened there.

The strange thing happened to a local family named Cao.It is said that the Cao family was originally just an ordinary small household, doing some small business on weekdays to barely make ends meet.

However, seven years ago, the wife of the head of the Cao family died, and not long after, the head of the family found another wife to continue.Since the new lady entered the door, the business of the Cao family has grown bigger and bigger. Within half a year, they have grown from an ordinary small household to a leading wealthy businessman in the local area.

At that time, some people thought it was strange, how could this ordinary family get up all of a sudden!Later, rumors spread that Xiantian, the head of the family, was born with a disabled right ear and could not hear, but she had a treasure, an ear carved from jade.

It is rumored that this "jade ear" is a thing of the gods, through which you can hear some things that ordinary people can't hear. The lady of the Cao family can't hear in one ear, just because she wants to follow the instructions of the gods together with the heavens.

This thing sounds ridiculous, and basically no one will believe it.

But the strange thing is that the Cao family really found a lot of treasures under the instruction of this new lady, and with the help of this lady, they were reborn and became the richest businessman.

However, just recently, this family who was favored by the gods suddenly died collectively for unknown reasons.

When they died, their right ears were all cut off, and together with the original "Tiantian Jade Ear", they all disappeared.

Some local people said that they had peeked into too many heavenly secrets, and thus were punished by the gods.

Some people also said that this is just an ordinary case born out of money, and its purpose is to seize the "Tongtian Ear".As for killing the whole family and cutting off the right ear, it was just a deliberate trick by the murderer.

The case has attracted the attention of the people because it happened in the Cao family.

But the common people's concern is just a little talk after dinner. As for who the murderer is, why he committed the murder, and whether the legendary "jade ear" that can connect the world really exists, they don't really care.

The case did not happen to him, and "Yu Er" would never become his property.If you pay too much attention, in the end it's just empty joy. It's better to live your life down-to-earth.I was really bored and panicked, thinking of other people's bad luck, talking about it, discussing it, killing the time and dispelling the boredom.

Others listened to this as a story, but when Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang heard it, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Whether the legendary "Tongtian Ear" in the story can really connect the heavens and the earth and has supernatural powers, they don't know, but it does exist, and they have been lucky enough to see it.

Because this "Tongtian Ear" originally belonged to Bai Yutang's elder brother.
