red dust robbery

In the spring of the first year of Emperor Renzong’s Kangding reign in the Northern Song Dynasty, the dusk had already fallen, and every place in the government office of Kaifeng had been lit up. Occasionally, there were guards patrolling the corridors in the distance.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Ding Xiaosan to come to Kaifeng Mansion to find you alone, not to urge the marriage, but to withdraw the marriage... Could it be that you, the cat, did something to offend him?"

There was no one around, so Bai Yutang laughed wildly, his sarcasm was beyond words, waving the folding fan that never left his body in his hand, and the words "I am the only one in the romantic world" were written brightly, Zhan Zhao saw it and found it very dazzling.

"Zhan stands upright in the world. He doesn't want to be famous, but he wants to have a clear conscience. I don't know what Brother Bai is referring to when he says I'm sorry?"

Sitting under the green lantern, Zhan Zhao has already taken off his red official uniform, and is wearing a blue shirt. His eyebrows are clearly defined by the candlelight, refined and elegant, just looking at the white mouse gloating in front of him, his eyebrows are also raised , revealing a few traces of unstoppable lingering aura.

"Hey... Zhan Zhao, don't be ignorant of good and evil. Fifth Lord is kind enough to help you analyze the reason, and I don't appreciate it!" Bai Yutang snorted, paused, and leaned over, a little curious Meaning, "I said, the girl from the Ding family didn't tell you why?"

"No."

"It can't be that you have been busy with official duties for the past few years and have no time to return to Mohua Village to fulfill the marriage contract. The little girl is dissatisfied and deliberately punished you?"

"Look at her look, she doesn't look like it."

"So you're serious?" Bai Wuye finally put away his joking expression, and his unbelievable expression gradually surfaced, a pair of eyes fixed on him and looked him up and down—the dignified Yumao Zhan Zhao, unexpectedly...was about to be dumped ?

Zhan Zhao met his gaze, remained silent for a long time, finally couldn't help raising his eyelids, and said word by word: "Bai Yutang, what kind of expression do you have!"

The marriage in Mohua Village two years ago was known to everyone in the Jianghu.

When Zhan Zhao went out on business, he ran into the Ding family heroes of Mohua Village. When he went to visit Mohua Village, he had a sword fight with Ding Yuehua, the third daughter of the Ding family.

Recalling the situation at that time, Zhan Zhao himself also felt surprised. It had been two years since A Min passed away, and he was busy handling cases all day long, and he had never thought about life-long events. She is also clean and beautiful, and she is determined not to let her bearded. The most important thing is that, for some reason, there is a sense of familiarity when they first meet, and she agrees for a moment.

It was only in recent years that he has been entangled in official business, so he delayed the marriage. Unexpectedly, Miss Ding came to the door today with a sword, and opened the door to propose the divorce, which was unexpected for him.

I haven't seen Ding Yuehua for two years. Ding Yuehua's face has not changed, but the brows are a bit more vicissitudes than that day, and his expression is cold and desolate. He mentioned the matter of giving up on the engagement. Although his words are apologetic and sincere, there is an unstoppable determination One of them, but without saying the reason, it is really puzzling.

Ordinarily, even if the Ding family wanted to regret the marriage, it would not be her turn to do it herself, since her two elder brothers should have come to explain that she came here alone, perhaps not at the behest of the Ding family's seniors, but out of her own heart.

Thinking of this, even Yumao Zhanzhao, who is as open-minded as a valley, has to say that he is a little bit stuck.

"Okay, okay..." Bai Yutang patted him on the shoulder, "Seeing how unhappy you are, why don't Fifth Lord go out and check on you?"

Zhakong Island lives next to Mohua Village. His Bai Yutang and Ding's brothers and sisters are also old friends since childhood, but this white mouse came out...

Zhan Zhao shook his head: "Forget it, the case of King Xiangyang has just been solved, and there are still a lot of things to do in the aftermath. It is even more important to hunt down the culprits. I will have a good talk with her after I finish this part."

He Zhan Zhao is not a stalker, if she has something else in her heart, she will naturally let her go, but if there is another secret...

He took a deep breath, but he could hear the wind outside the window, with the chilling air of a weapon tearing apart, approaching the door, a cold light flashed in his eyes, at the same time, Bai Yutang who was facing He also seemed to have noticed something unusual, and was about to get up with his sword, when the closed door was broken open by an invisible force, and a long sword pierced through the air, the two of them jumped up, Zhan Zhao was quick, and already had the sword in his hand , Bai Yutang unsheathed the painting in his hand, his eyes were filled with coldness, as if he was waiting for the next killer move, but the sound of the wind came in an instant, and the surroundings were quiet, and there was no more movement.

After a while, Zhan Zhao regained his composure and looked at the sword in his hand.

It was not out of the sheath, wrapped in a cloth, but there was a familiar feeling of heavyness in his hand, he frowned, and pulled off the cloth with his backhand, and his eyes froze.

"Cat..." Bai Yutang sensed his eyes, leaned over to take a closer look, and was also startled: "Isn't this your giant que?"

The famous sword Juque in ancient times, with a three-foot green sharp edge, is unstoppable. It was something that Nan Xia Zhan Zhao never left his body when he traveled the rivers and lakes.

"It's my giant sword." Zhan Zhao's eyes were dark, and he pushed the blade away with his fingertips. After only a short period of unsheathing, the snow-blue cold light had already illuminated his face, "I just tried the sword in Mohua Village two years ago. When we got engaged, it was already given to the Ding family as a token."

Therefore, what he held in these hands was Zhanlu from the Ding family, and Juque should have been in the hands of Yuehua from the Ding family.

"What...then this sword..."

Bai Yutang already felt that something was wrong, before he finished speaking, Zhan Zhao's eyes were already full of fear, he rushed out the door, turned over and disappeared into the vast night.

"Hey, Zhan Zhao, where are you going?"

Bai Yutang rushed to the courtyard after him, but he was nowhere to be seen, but he heard a sentence floating in the air: "Yun Lai Inn."

Yunlai Inn, the largest inn in Kaifeng City, has a booming business and has not declined for decades. At night, the hustle and bustle has stopped, the voices of people are silent, and only a little bit of light is left, which shines through the window paper.

Zhan Zhao jumped up and landed lightly on the corridor on the second floor of the attic. He listened carefully to the sound, and without knocking on the door, he raised his hand and broke in, bringing in a gust of night wind.

As if smelling the murderous aura in the wind, the woman in the room acted as if she was alert, and when she saw the person coming, Zhang Feng stopped in mid-air.

"I have heard that Nanxia Zhanzhao is gentle and refined, he is a man of courtesy, why did he break into the door in the middle of the night?"

Zhan Zhao walked in in a hurry, and when he saw her clearly, he heaved a sigh of relief, recalled his inappropriate behavior just now, and then bowed his hands to apologize: "Zhan was rude and disturbed...Miss Ding..."

The woman didn't intend to pursue the matter, and after the initial surprise faded away, she looked calm: "Guard Zhan came here late at night, is there something wrong?"

exhibition guard...

Zhan Zhao's thoughts paused for a moment on addressing her, and finally he sighed lightly, raised his head and looked at her with sharp eyes: "Is Juque in your hands?"

A little confusion appeared on Ding Yuehua's face.

She turned around and went to the inner room to look through her package, but saw that the sword that was still lying on the dressing table in the evening had disappeared.

"Obviously...it's still there before dinner..."

Zhan Zhao looked at her, although his expression was still bleak, but there was a slight trace of panic in his eyes, which showed her ignorance of this matter. He saw it in his eyes, although he still didn't understand, but he felt inexplicably at ease. The anxiety came to an abrupt end.

He sighed, raised his hand, and threw Ju Que into her arms.

"This is..." She held the sword in her hand, and when she looked intently, her eyes froze and she raised her head.

"This sword just appeared in the Kaifeng mansion." Zhan Zhao said lightly, "Why are you so careless, you don't even know the sword was stolen!"

At this point, she finally understood why he rushed into her guest room in a hurry and even brought a chill, and the sword appeared for no reason, maybe he was worried that something would happen to her owner of the sword, right?

She raised her head to look into his eyes, the murderous aura when she came had dissipated, but she was sullen but did not retreat, but she concealed it very well, and it looked clear and calm under the night, she sighed quietly, and lowered her head: "Yuehua made a mistake , Thank you Lord Zhan for your concern."

Zhan Zhao's eyebrows moved, he didn't expect her to guess his thoughts so quickly, but his heart warmed up, and he took a breath: "Who on earth can steal the sword from under your nose without a sound? Don't have a clue?"

She thought for a moment, then shook her head helplessly.

"Although the king of Xiangyang has subdued the law, the remnants of evil are still there. During this period of time, the capital is full of undercurrents and is not stable. For the sake of safety, it is better for the girl to return to Mohua Village as soon as possible. As for what I said before..." Zhan Zhaodun After a pause, "When this busy period is over, Zhan will definitely go to Mohua Village and give the girl an explanation."

"Mohua Village has never interfered in the affairs of the court. Yuehua is here, so it is unlikely that she will be implicated. The Zhan guards don't have to worry too much." She knew what he was thinking, but she didn't intend to obey. With a playful arc: "Actually, the matter of Ju Que may not be as complicated as you think. Ju Que is not an ordinary soldier. Maybe it was because he had been away from the original owner for too long and found your aura, so he couldn't bear the longing. Automatically looking for the owner..."

It's just ridiculous!

The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched, and he wanted to refute instinctively. He endured it and didn't say anything, but he saw her smiling: "In this case, why don't I let him follow you before I leave the capital, so that you can talk about the friendship between master and servant?" ah……"

"Miss Ding!"

Zhan Zhao finally interrupted her, clenched his fists faintly in his sleeves, and said in a low voice, "Miss, why be impatient, after this matter is over, Zhan Zhao will naturally discuss this matter properly with you."

After finishing speaking, he turned and went out, and when he left, he gave her a faint look, which was a bit cold.

She looked a little panicked.
