strayed into the mouse's nest

Are some things really destiny?When thinking of this, Zhan Zhao's usually steady hands trembled.

Nan Xia and Chinchilla would never have had anything to do with each other.One is gentle and elegant, plain and tolerant, while the other is gorgeous, sharp, and flamboyant. Such two people have different sexuality and different ways. Even if they meet in the rivers and lakes, they will pass by each other. situation?

By the way, it was because it was given a ridiculous title called "Royal Cat".Although it is difficult to say clearly, Zhan Zhao has always thought that this title is really ridiculous. Although there were titles such as "Tiger Might", "Flying Leopard", and "Hussars" in the previous dynasty, "Cat"... Zhan Zhao raised it. Raise your hand, another bowl of wine.

Three Treasures, Tongtian Grottoes, Prince Edward, Tielongsuo, Xiangyang, Chongxiao Tower... It seems that everything is a little far away, did those things really exist?Or was it just because of the storyteller's fantasy, or because he was drunk?

Zhan Zhao knew that he was drunk, if he was sober, shouldn't he be guarding Mr. Bao's side at this moment, or sorting out the case files with Mr. Gongsun?No, Mr. Bao asked for leave to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and Mr. Gongsun also accompanied him. Zhang Long, Zhao Hu Dynasty and Ma Han stayed in Kaifeng Mansion, but he was ordered to take a vacation... Yes, I originally planned to play around Bianliang, so why did I come here? Jinhua, hundreds of miles away?

The 18-year-old daughter red is different from the Zhuyeqing I am used to drinking, and it is really a good wine. "Little brother, please come to the altar again."

By the way, it was because I remembered that Mrs. Lu had invited many times with the owners of the estate, but I never had time to visit. The man in white angrily said many times that he was a cat who broke his promise, so he came here during the holidays.Ever since the two of them were seriously injured in the Sky Tower, Bai Yutang resigned and returned to Xingkong Island, and the two of them haven't seen each other for more than half a year.Although he wrote two letters in the middle, Bai Yutang never replied.

I was very happy to see that man for the first time. Seeing his refreshed look, I think the injury is no longer a problem, but, what is wrong?Everyone in the hall looked at him with a smile, but they always felt that something had changed but they didn't understand.

"Thank you Brother Zhan for your concern, my little brother is fine."Bai Yutang's rare politeness and etiquette made Zhan Zhao feel surprised and lost for no reason.Brother Zhan, since we met, he has never called himself Brother Zhan, and it is rare for him to be so polite.

"Brother Zhan, you might as well stay a little longer. Lao Wu obtained evidence from Xiangyang this time, which is also a great achievement. The previous faults of stealing the three treasures and offending the Grand Master have all been offset, and there is nothing owed to the officials. But you Good friends and good brothers, we still have to recognize them." When Fourth Brother Jiang spoke, his face was full of smiles, but he felt extremely alienated.nothing owes...

Shaking the wine jar in his hand, uh, it's the fourth jar, I really drank a lot, that's all for today.As a guest on someone else's island, it's always rude to return home drunk.

It was already evening, the market was about to disperse, the number of pedestrians gradually decreased, and the streets were somewhat deserted.Zhan Zhao looked at the sun hanging on the mountainside, the early winter sun was bright, but there was no temperature, the wind was chilly on his body, and the wine couldn't stop it.

At noon, I had invited Bai Yutang to go to the restaurant together. I had said many times before that I would treat him to a good meal, but I never kept it, and I owed a lot of wine debts.This time, I finally had nothing to worry about, errands, robbers, and street patrols, but Bai Yutang was not free, and was called away by Miss Jianglan before leaving.

……

As the small boat dangled towards the island, Zhan Zhao recalled the time when he first came to the empty island.Standing on the small boat, thinking about the case of Sanbao, guessing what kind of person the famous Chinchilla is, to do such things that alarm the government and the public for the sake of a mere name, after all, it is a gift from the emperor, not for fun of.When I saw the deity, I found out that it was a young knight-errant whom Miao Jiaji had met once. Back then, he admired his agile skills and chivalrous behavior, but now he acted so recklessly.

However, the moment he saw Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao felt relieved to a certain extent. He intuitively believed that Bai Yutang's robbery of the Three Treasures was really just a whim, and he was worried that there might be other plots to endanger Mr. Bao on the way here.

What happened later is well known. The cat and mouse turned from fighting enemies to sympathetic friends. Bai Yutang even became a fourth-rank guard with a sword after being awarded the title, and he quit officialdom after the Xiangyang incident.In this way, more than three years have passed.

Three years is really a long time.Zhan Zhao looked at the clear river water under the small boat, the reflection of the sun glistened on the water surface, he felt a little dizzy after staring at it for too long, and three years later, he still couldn't swim, it seemed that this was the only thing that hadn't changed.

And everything else has changed.

At first, Zhan Zhao just felt a little aggrieved.It is expected that one would be alienated and rejected by friends in the world after entering the officialdom, but it is very rare for Bai Yutang to be so blatantly provocative and even steal the gifts from the imperial court.So when the five rats pointed at his nose and scolded him, Zhan Zhao was indeed a little depressed.

Then there is curiosity.Bai Yutang is really... a person with a lot of tricks.He was ordered to stay in Kaifeng for inspection, but he even asked for an escort to investigate the case, and even joined the official he despised the most, fighting with himself every day, what was he thinking?Could it be that a name really has such a big influence.

Then there is admiration.As expected, Chinchilla's reputation is worthy of a man, and Bai Yutang is a man of courage and intelligence. Once he discovers any clues in a case, he can always follow the map to find out the truth behind it.What is even more rare is his love for ordinary people and his insistence on justice.

Then moved.Such a proud and forthright person always shows a gentle and considerate side in some details.For example, when the Black Tiger Village was destroyed, resettling the refugees who were forced to fall into the grass; for example, when they knew that Aunt Li had old rheumatism, they helped ask for medicine; for example, when they were injured...

Favors are accumulated bit by bit. Before the reason is realized, the feelings have deviated too far.When Zhan Zhao finally realized that he paid too much attention to him and cared too much about him, when Zhan Zhao stood on the ruins of Chongxiao and saw Bai Yutang covered in blood, it was too late...

Zhan Zhao finally sat down on the bow of the boat and stopped torturing his nerves.

Everything is already too late.

Maybe it has something to do with his childhood environment, Zhan Zhao never deceived himself, nor would he evade the truth.So... Even though he knew that such feelings were dangerous and taboo, Zhan Zhao didn't intend to deny what he wanted.Originally thought that the two of them could continue to guard Kaifeng when something happened in Xiangyang, until one day they left the government, and they could join hands in the rivers and lakes together.

But I forgot, but I forgot the most basic thing.Bai Yutang, as a son, as a younger brother, he wants to get married... Jianghu is a process, not a destination.

I actually forgot... I still never dare to think about it...

If it wasn't for Bai Yutang's resignation, if it wasn't for seeing Miss Lan this time, if it wasn't for the Five Rats' attitude towards Jiang Lan's "own people", if it wasn't for the three days on the island that Bai Yutang spent more than half of his time with Sister Lan, would he be Really, have you been fantasizing about it?
