[75] I treat you as a brother

After finding the inn where he was staying, he tidied himself up from top to bottom. Zhan Zhao was not in a hurry to eat, so he turned right and went into Bai Yutang's room.

Bai Yutang was sitting in front of the table, on which two bowls of hot tea had been prepared, obviously waiting for him.

"What do you think about the 'Tong Tian Er'?" Zhan Zhao sat down beside him, saw the tea in front of him, picked it up and took a sip, couldn't help but praise, "Good tea! You brought it yourself?"

Bai Yutang said "hmm", "I'm not sure what they're talking about is my elder brother's."

Zhan Zhao said: "According to what they said, Mrs. Cao brought the 'Tongtian Ear' with her when she passed the door seven years ago, and kept it with her all the time, but we saw the one of your elder brother four years ago. From the looks of it, it really doesn’t look like the same one.”

Bai Yutang frowned, but didn't make a sound.

Zhan Zhao looked at him, and smoothed the creases between his brows with his fingertips: "Don't worry, let's go to Cao's mansion after we've had enough food, maybe we can have some clues."

Because they were in a hurry to go out, the two of them didn't pay much attention to seafood and mountain delicacies, so they ordered a bowl of noodles in the lobby without drinking any wine, and ate a few mouthfuls indiscriminately.

Halfway through the meal, a skinny guy in the store suddenly trotted over and put a plate of sauced meat on the table.

He was too thin, the clothes didn't fit well, it was like a sack on his body, and the hat also slipped down bit by bit as he ran, and when he reached the two of them, it almost slipped off his head.

Seeing the dubious eyes of the two, the waiter raised his hat and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, you two guests, this is a gift from my lady boss. You can just eat it."

Zhan Zhao subconsciously turned his head to look at the counter, and saw a woman settling accounts over there, Xu Shi noticed his gaze, raised his head and smiled at him.

The proprietress looked young, she might be a little younger than Zhan Zhao, but when she stood there, she was dignified and generous, like a lotus flower.

Seeing the other party looking over, Zhan Zhao hugged her wrist from the air, expressing his thanks, and turned around to eat meat, but Bai Yutang took the chopsticks away and took the whole plate away in one go.

Bai Yutang: "Be courteous for nothing, maybe drugged inside."

Whether the drug was administered or not, the two martial arts heroes could tell just by smelling it.

Zhan Zhao felt that he was being unreasonable, so he deliberately said: "If a beauty gives you a gift, even if it is poison, I will take it as well."

Bai Yutang's expression turned slightly ugly.

Zhan Zhao raised his chin and blinked at him: "You poisoned me back then, didn't I swallow the same without blinking?"

When Bai Yutang's eldest brother was murdered and died, Bai Yutang misunderstood that Zhan Zhao was involved, and in a panic, he had clearly poured poison into Zhan Zhao's water cup, and he didn't even cover it up.

Although Zhan Zhao had just entered the rivers and lakes at that time, his mind was not as calm and tactful as he is now. Seeing that Bai Yutang didn't believe in him, he was hesitant, and he was not afraid that the poison would really cause him to suffer from heart failure, so he poured it into the cup in front of Bai Yutang. something to swallow.

Later, when the poison broke out, Bai Yutang couldn't stand it anymore and offered to hand over the antidote, but he still refused to take it. The two even had a big fight over it. In the end, Bai Yutang pressed him on the bed His mouth forced Zhan Zhao to take the antidote.

After that, Bai Yutang ran away, and the two of them didn't see each other for a long time, until Zhan Zhaoyao performed in Wulou and was named "Royal Cat".

After Bai Yutang continued to investigate the elder brother's matter, he finally knew that Zhan Zhao had nothing to do with it.

"I blamed you for what happened back then, and I've apologized to you since then." Hearing him bring up the old story again, Bai Yutang's expression was a little uncomfortable.

"Your so-called apology," Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "is that letter that doesn't make sense?"

"Why don't you know what to say!" Bai Yutang was dissatisfied.

He deliberated over that letter before he wrote it with the face and self-esteem of Fifth Master Bai at stake.How did he become "unintelligible" here!It was a waste of all my painstaking efforts.

Zhan Zhao smiled and shook his head, "That's fine, let's not talk about that letter——Since I've come to this point today, I'll take this opportunity to ask you, you didn't care about your brother back then, you left the antidote and ran away. No matter what, you refuse to see me again, including your attitude towards me is still lukewarm. Is it because you say that the matter has nothing to do with me and still blame me in your heart. Or because you almost killed me back then, you feel sorry, no Are you willing to face me?"

Bai Yutang's eyes dodged, and he didn't even look his way: "Why is my attitude towards you so lukewarm? Fifth Lord has such a personality, he always treats others equally. I think you are thinking too much."

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Then it's because I'm thinking too much."

"However—" Zhan Zhao draws a long tone, "If you really care about that incident in your heart, I just want to say that there is no need for that. Don't say that I am still living well now, even if I really care about it back then. I was poisoned to death by your bowl of medicine, that's what I wanted... Who made you my younger brother."

After finishing speaking, he lightly rubbed his head with his hand, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness to snatch back the plate of sauced meat in Bai Yutang's hand.

After the meal, the two left their silver, and then recruited the young man from just now, and asked him about the location of Cao's mansion.

The little guy was originally smiling, but when he heard that they were going to the Cao Mansion, his face changed drastically: "Why do you two want to go to that place! It's very evil there, you can't go there!"

"Oh?" Zhan Zhao laughed first when he heard the words, "I like being unusual the most, but tell me, what's the 'evil energy' method?"

The young man took a sneak peek at the counter and said in a low voice, "Cao's mansion just died not long ago, have you two heard about it?"

Zhan Zhao nodded: "I heard that the whole family was wiped out and no one survived."

The boy said, "Then do you know what they were doing when they died?"

Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang and shook his head.

The clerk lowered his voice, with a sullen face, and said mysteriously: "That day was the [-]th birthday of the old lady of the Cao family. To celebrate the birthday of the old lady, the Cao family held a banquet with a bang of gongs and drums. Three days! During the first two days, anyone is free to enter and exit the Cao Mansion, to celebrate the old lady’s birthday, and to stay for a light meal. But it’s the third day!”

The clerk slowly stretched out three fingers: "Cao's house closed the door to thank the guests, leaving only his own family members to congratulate the old lady on her birthday. At the same time, please bring out their treasures that can reach the sky. It is said that they will connect the world with auspicious days. But who They never thought that it was this treasure that helped them make a fortune back then, but it turned into a murderous thing, killing their whole family and never recovering from it."

"A person died on his birthday..." The boy looked at the two and said, "Isn't that 'evil' enough?"
