[Rat and Cat] Ten Commandments of Acacia

The team continued to move forward, with lessons learned from the past, everyone increased their vigilance when they set out on the road again, in case there was another sneak attack, so everyone maintained a high level of vigilance all the way until a small town in front of Xiangyang. Nerves strained.

Bai Yutang reined in the reins, and the horse stopped with a long hiss, and turned to look at Zhan Zhao, who was also looking at the ordinary-looking inn in front of him. He glanced at the inn through the curtain of the carriage, met Gongsun Ce's eyes and said, "Fifth Brother, let's rest here temporarily tonight!"

Bai Yutang turned his head slightly when he heard the words, and looked at the inn again, because the closer he was to Xiangyang, the more worried he would encounter the ambush of the King of Xiangyang. If there was another attack like the one during the day, they really didn't know if they would be safe He took Gongsun Ce and Yan Chasan to Xiangyang.

Zhan Zhao went to knock on the door first, and after a while there were hurried footsteps inside, and then the door opened, and a man dressed as a mistress cautiously stretched his head to look at them, and then said with a sigh of relief: " Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to stay at the hotel?"

"Let's stay overnight." Zhan Zhao said calmly. Hearing this, Xiao Er hurriedly opened the store door to invite everyone to come in, and then laughed and said, "Guest officials, please come in quickly. There are more people in the Jianghu recently, so it's quite chaotic. Small businesses have to pay more attention.”

"There are a lot of people in Jianghu?" Bai Yutang frowned lightly, then turned to look at Yan Chasan, who was also frowning, not knowing what kind of eyes he met with Gongsun Ce.

Xiao Er didn't see their small interaction, so he put on a towel to show them if there were any vacancies, and said while flipping through the account books: "Isn't that right, they all go to Xiangyang. There are good people and bad people. This Jianghu people can be compared with others." Ordinary people are different, if you disagree with two words, you will start a fight." Then he raised his head and said, "Objectively, there are only eight guest rooms left in our store."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang turned their heads and counted the number of people. The six guards plus the four of them made a total of ten people, that is to say, how many people should be crowded together.

It stands to reason that it's not a big deal for two big men to squeeze together for one night, but this room is not easy to allocate. Yan Chasan and Gongsun Ce, under the name of imperial envoys, can't possibly squeeze a room with the guards, right? ?It's both emotional and reasonable!And it is impossible for Zhan Zhao to share a room with Gongsun Ce or Yan Cha even if he is beaten to death. Isn't that just waiting to be cheated?Besides, no matter what his current status is, he is just a knight-errant, how could he sleep with the imperial court?

The guards said one after another that it doesn't matter if they have rough skin and thick flesh!Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, Bai Yutang shrugged: "Then let's do this!"

So Gongsun Ce and Yan Chasan's room was in the middle, Zhan Zhao's and Bai Yutang's rooms were on both sides, and on both sides were the rooms where the guards dealt with them, so that the two weak scholars were sandwiched in the middle to prevent sneak attacks in the middle of the night.

After Zhan Zhao packed up his things, he simply washed up and was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat. He happened to see Yan Chasan and Gongsun Ce sitting in the lobby drinking tea and talking about something. Zhan Zhao lowered his head in an attempt not to be noticed. Slipped away, but unfortunately, as soon as Gongsun Ce looked up, he saw Zhan Zhao who was trying to sneak into the kitchen without anyone noticing, so he said loudly, "Is the young man hungry because he didn't eat? Just right, let's go together." !"

"Uh...no need, I'll just find something to eat, you guys eat slowly!" Zhan Zhao straightened his mask and was about to run away, but Yan Chasan didn't know if it was on purpose or if he really lacked a nerve, and eagerly persuaded him to stay. : "Let's sit down and eat together, young man. We'll be ready in a while. Yan has sent someone to invite the fifth younger brother. Let's eat together with so many people!"

"But..." When Zhan Zhao wanted to argue something, Bai Yutang changed his clothes and walked down. Seeing the bustling lobby, he chuckled lightly, "Why is it so lively?"

"Fifth brother, you came just in time!" Yan Chasan hurriedly stood up to welcome Bai Yutang to his seat, and then said helplessly, "Your young hero friend is really shy. Yan and Lord Gongsun originally wanted to invite him to sit down and eat together. Yes, but he always declines, fifth brother, you have to talk about him."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help but rubbed his forehead inwardly, do you think I want to hide in my room to eat by myself?It's not about worrying about wearing clothes!With Mr. Gongsun's eyes and that brain, one meal is enough for him to come up with his own words!

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, who was a bit resistant, and frowned slightly. It seemed that this person had been trying his best to avoid contact with Yan Chasan and Gongsun Ce, especially Gongsun Ce. Like a bad guy, it always feels like he is hiding something.

Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes slightly, then raised his head again and said, "It's just eating together, it's not a big deal, so don't refuse."

Well, Bai Yutang, Gongsun Ce, and Yan Chasan all spoke, and Zhan Zhao had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit in the past, eating and eating with trepidation, for fear that Gongsun Ce would notice the signs, even those insignificant details. Zhao must be careful to be discovered, so eating a meal is exhausting!

"Why does the young hero always wear a mask?" Yan Chasan's seemingly unintentional words made Zhan Zhao's cold sweat "swipe". If you have a face, it’s better to cover it up so as not to be scary.”

"Oh~" Yan Chasan nodded and didn't ask any more questions, Zhan Zhao lowered his head and wanted to finish eating and get over it!

Seeing Zhan Zhao wipe his mouth, Bai Yutang stood up and said "I'm full", and then hurried back to his room, continuing to drink the tea in the cup thoughtfully.

The night fell quickly, and Bai Yutang, unable to sleep, climbed up to the roof with a silver knife and a jar of wine. Under the bright moonlight, he opened the seal on the wine jar. In the distance, he sighed slightly.

When he lowered his head, he happened to see Zhan Zhao who opened the window. The young man without a mask had a gentle and handsome face, and he always seemed to give people an inexplicable sense of peace of mind. Bai Yutang was a little puzzled, why did such a person avoid Gongsun Ce and follow him? Peek-a-boo... What's the same as that one?It would make sense to say that he is afraid of seeing officials because he is a heinous person, but this person does not look like a bad person at all, because his eyes are too clean!

Seeing Zhan Zhao who had retracted after opening the window, Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows a little unhappily, lying on the roof with his hands behind his head and enjoying the evening breeze, he said leisurely, "Ah... who the hell is that?" Ah you?" It's rare to meet a person who looks pleasing to the eye, but is such a strange guy.

Zhan Zhao, who was sitting in the room, looked up at the starry sky through the window, and sighed leisurely: "There are still four days, and if we hide it, there will be a brighter future...Bai Yutang's life will continue to be free and unrestrained, instead of a happy one." Lying on the cold seashore."

Up and down the house, two people with different thoughts are thinking about each other at the same time.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning a group of people looked at Xiangyang City, which was close at hand. Yan Chasan sat in the lobby and looked at the busy guards and Bai Yutang and Zhan who were packing up and hanging things on the saddle. Zhao said helplessly and hesitantly, "I don't know if it's right or wrong to involve them."

Gongsun Ce looked in the direction of Xiangyang, and sighed leisurely: "These righteous men of the rivers and lakes have their beliefs in their hearts. Maybe we think it's wrong to involve them, but they think it's what they should do. , Those in Xiangyang are like this, and those outside Xiangyang are of course also like this."

Yan Chasan frowned, struggled for a long time, then pulled Gongsun Ce and said, "Mr. Gongsun, you must promise Yan a certain thing."

"My lord, it's okay to say." Gongsun Ce patted the back of Yan Chasan's solemn hand in relief, and said with a smile, "Your lord has something to say."

"According to the letter from the young heroes in Xiangyang City, the king of Xiangyang is building a mechanism building to store important evidence. Although the outside and inside have not yet been laid out, according to the drawings, the mechanism is dangerous and abnormal. Nine deaths." After Yan Chasan finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yutang's handsome and upright back, frowned and said, "If the office building is about to be completed when we arrive in Xiangyang, then please help Yan Mou take care of the fifth brother. Don't let him go to the government building on a whim, you must know that he is not a member of the government at all, escorting us is a duty, not a responsibility, we must not let him fall into many crises, if anything happens to the fifth brother, you let Yan How do you survive?"

"I've heard that Young Master Bai is proficient in the art of tricks. Maybe you will be moved by seeing such an exquisite trick?" Gongsun Ce said lightly, then looked at Yan Chasan who was determined, and said, "Okay, I promise my lord."

"Thank you sir." Yan Chasan solemnly thanked Gongsun Ce, Gongsun Ce smiled slightly, turned to look at the young hero in white clothes and angry horse, and said to himself, "I'll be in Xiangyang soon, right? "

"The prefect's mansion has been arranged, and someone will take care of us. Don't worry, sir!" Yan Chasan nodded and looked at Xiangyang in the distance with a serious expression: "This is a tough battle, we can only win, for the sake of the people of the world, We can't lose!"

Zhan Zhao seemed to have heard their conversation, and turned his head. He couldn't see the young man's face clearly through the mask, but the firmness in his eyes was easily noticed by Gongsun Ce. Gongsun Ce nodded at him, and Zhan Zhao also Nodding slightly, he turned his head to look in the direction of Xiangyang—this time, let history be rewritten!
