Consort Zhanzhao

Although Bai Yutang wanted to join them, Zhan Zhao refused because he was too conspicuous.

Bai Yutang thought for a while and said, "Then I'll follow behind you? Or go on the road together pretending not to know each other?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, and said again: "You should be more conspicuous when you wear the official clothes."

Bai Yutang had always been a restless person, so he bit his bun and went out, "I'll be eating in the lobby downstairs, and I'll follow you when you're on your way."

After speaking, he looked at Zhao Bijia again, sighed and said: "Don't be too sad, this kind of thing-you can't mess with the court, you can mess with the rivers and lakes, you Bai Wuye is covering you."

Zhao Bijia laughed out loud, and said thank you very sincerely.

Bai Yutang said: "Don't say you look a little gentle after changing your hairstyle."

Zhan Zhao grabbed him by the neck and pushed him out.

The atmosphere was completely different from yesterday. Zhao Xuan looked at his sister, and then at his newly baked brother-in-law. He didn't know what he was thinking, but his expression was obviously relaxed, and he went to make a bun again and ate it.

Yang He'an still had a cold face, as if no matter what the atmosphere was like, it didn't affect him at all.

After breakfast, a few people ordered some dry food, sauce, meat and other things. The water bag was filled with water, and then they started on the road again.

After a while, Bai Yutang, who was riding a tall horse and changed into a public uniform, caught up with them. They exchanged a secret look. Bai Yutang rode to the front, but they found a place at noon When I hit the tip, I met again.

The official Bai Yutang dressed up very tastefully, sitting carelessly on a stool, with his back against the wall, and a straw hat covering his face, as if he wanted to avoid the sun at noon and was only on his way in the afternoon .

They walked like this for five days, passed by Bai Yutang several times a day, and they arrived at Qinling Mountains again. It was different from the last time. The last time they brought a whole set of princess ostentation, they took the official road, and the road was spacious. It's easy to walk again, but this time I pretended to be a commoner returning home to visit relatives, and walked the ordinary plank road.

The narrowest place can only pass three people. If you are not careful, you may fall off the cliff. It is absolutely impossible to take a car. As soon as they came out in the morning, they had already sold the donkey cart to the local farmer. up.

Zhao Bijia looked up at the plank road looming in the distance among the high mountains, and then looked back at her group of people.

Zhan Zhao and Yang He An don't need to worry at all, she probably has no problems, only Zhao Xuan is alone, but these days, although the journey is very hard, and sometimes the road is difficult, she has to get out of the car and walk by herself , and Zhao Xuan was too tired to yawn every day after eating, and even went to bed a few times before washing up before coming.

But his body also looked better day by day, and there was a blush on his originally pale face.

Sensing Zhao Bijia's worried eyes, Zhan Zhao shook her hand, "It's okay, I'll take care of him."

Zhao Xuan looked a little nonchalant, "I walked well, and I didn't jump down on purpose, how could it be dangerous."

This was the first time Zhao Bijia was refuted by him, but after thinking about it, it really made sense, so he said, "Then shall we go up here?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, looked at the group of merchants who just went up ahead, and said, "It's safer to go this way with fewer people. Let's wait for another half an hour."

A few people sat in the herbal tea shop at the foot of the mountain, watching the group of merchants disappear into the mountain, and after a while, Bai Yutang also appeared, ordered a pot of tea and two side dishes and chatted with the boss.

Because he was wearing a public uniform, the grade seemed to be quite high, the boss was very respectful to him, and even gave him a plate of peanuts, and when he brought the tea, he stood there with his head bowed, waiting for his orders.

"How many people go missing on this road every year?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Is the official here to investigate the case?" The boss became vigilant for a moment, looked around, and realized that only Zhao Bijia and the others were sitting at a table not far away, and they were talking and laughing very lively, so he might not be able to hear what they said. He assured Bai Yutang and said, "A lot of people fall from the top every year, so there will be no bones left? You can't find them if you look for them."

Bai Yutang hummed, and took another two mouthfuls of food. The boss said cautiously, "Master, you must not wear official clothes if you want to walk on the plank road. There is a section of road up there that is very steep and narrow. Be careful if someone—"

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, besides Zhao Xuan who was still looking normal and should eat and drink, the rest of them, including Zhao Bijia who had an impressive hearing, all pricked up their ears to listen.

"You mean someone intentionally..." Bai Yutang paused, "To rob money?"

The boss nodded and said: "Although you are an official post, you are on the road alone. You are not familiar with these people, so it is better to be cautious."

Bai Yutang nodded, and handed him a bounty. Seeing that Zhan Zhao and the others were about to leave, he got up and said, "Lend me the back room, and I'll change into clothes."

Over there, Zhao Bijia was still a little nervous after hearing the call, but she turned around to look at Yang He An, whose expressions didn't seem to have changed much, and Zhan Zhao, who was becoming calmer and calmer. Thinking about it, she herself was not powerless Well, it's nothing to be afraid of.

A few people packed up their things. Zhan Zhao, Yang and An carried the few, most of them pretending luggage on their shoulders. Zhao Bijia and Zhao Xuan walked in the middle, and the group went up the mountain along the plank road. up.

The last time I climbed the mountain was the official road. Although the road is easy to walk, the scenery is not as beautiful as this side. Although I am still climbing the mountain as a whole, it is not as tiring as I imagined at first.

After walking for more than an hour, Zhan Zhao looked up to see that the sun had almost reached noon, then stopped, looked at the pair of siblings who were obviously very interested, smiled helplessly, and said: "Take a break and eat something?"

It was said that Zhao Bijia took a look at the road ahead, and it was obviously getting steeper, and there was still a turn that was almost at a right angle, so it was time to take a break.

Zhan Zhao brought out the food and water, and went to the forest to pick a few wild fruits. Although this meal was not as exquisite as the one in the palace, it was indeed a special taste. Full of energy.

"I didn't expect to go so fast," Zhao Bijia sighed, "I thought it would take a long time before I could get there."

Zhan Zhao walked in the front, turned his head and said, "I came back in a carriage, and there were guards clearing the way. It's really slow."

Seeing that it was about to arrive, Zhao Bijia felt that it was a very steep turn, and suddenly a person rushed down from the front, shouting, "Give me a hand! Give me a hand! My leg is cramping!"

He was followed by a few companions, holding luggage and other items in their hands, and said anxiously: "You fall inside! Grab your hands on the tree!"

Zhao Bijia hurriedly stopped, and pulled Zhao Xuan almost to the side of the mountain wall.

Zhan Zhao frowned, sank slightly and took a gait to stabilize his footing, and reached out his hand to catch the man.

"Thank you!" The man thanked Zhan Zhao repeatedly with a look of joy for the rest of his life, "If it wasn't for you, I would have lost my life."

"You're welcome," Zhan Zhao said, "Going out—"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the man's arm tremble, a dagger fell out of his sleeve and he held it in his hand. He turned around and leaned against the mountain wall, and stabbed at Zhan Zhao!

"You!" Zhao Bijia immediately stretched out her paws, and rushed towards that person as well.

It's just that Zhan Zhao's movements were faster, he just jumped up slightly, and the man couldn't stop the brakes, and rushed to the edge of the plank road in two steps.

The guardrails on both sides of the plank road were almost at Zhao Bijia's waist, that is to say, for a grown man, it was probably just past the thighs.Accompanied by a long cry, he fell to the bottom of the cliff, but within a breath or two, the cry stopped abruptly. Even if no one was seen, Zhao Bijia knew that he was in danger.

Looking at it this way, those people on the opposite side are very suspicious!

Zhan Zhao bullied himself, and shouted at Yang and An at the same time, "Look at them!" In just three or two steps, he reached the two companions.

The two of them looked at each other first, then threw the bundles in their hands on the ground at the same time, and then knelt down towards Zhan Zhao, "Master, please forgive me! The younger ones have no eyes to offend the master! It's because the two of us didn't do anything." Come on, I beg you to let us go, we are willing to hand over these belongings!"

Zhao Bijia breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was a robbery.

It's just that Zhan Zhao didn't pay attention to their words, and didn't even stop his movements. He went up and touched the acupuncture points of the two, and threw the packages in their hands to Yang and An, saying, "Go to the front platform, these people are here Block us!"

Zhao Bijia didn't know how Zhan Zhao saw all these things in just a few minutes, although the two people looked at each other was indeed a bit suspicious, but it explained that Chengdu had the intention of surrendering, and that each other was transparent. Personality seems to be able to speak.

She frowned, the joyful mood brought by the beautiful scenery had almost disappeared, she turned around and took Zhao Xuan's hand, followed closely behind the two, watching Zhan Zhao carry the two to the front together. There is a platform in the distance, and in order to avoid being disturbed, I walked along the path and walked inside.

Zhan Zhao threw the two of them on the ground, and said calmly, "Are you robbing?"

The two nodded hastily, "It's indeed a robbery, I didn't want to fall into the hands of the uncle!" The two looked at each other again, and one of the bandits, who was obviously older, said: "The uncle is an expert, why don't you go to our mountain to be an expert?" How is the leader?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and asked, "Where is your mountain?"

The old bandit said, "It's not far ahead."

Now without Zhan Zhao, even Zhao Bijia could hear something was wrong.

It is not an hour or two away from the foot of the mountain. If you want to say that you have to go over this mountain, it is considered to be taking the official road... It took them almost five days last time, let alone walking this narrow plank road. It takes seven or eight days to rob, and it is better to rob in the middle of the place where there is no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the earth... The bandits here are only one or two hours down the mountain, but they have not been wiped out all these years?

Even Zhao Bijia didn't believe this.

Zhao Bijia sneered, Yang and An had already gone through their packages, "Is this what you robbed?"

Yang and An shook the cloth on their hands, "If I were a robber, I would definitely only want money."

The young bandit stretched his neck, and said again: "We have fallen in love with you, a young lady, and we want to snatch it back and become a Mrs. Yazhai!"

Zhao Bijia hadn't done anything yet, so Zhan Zhao quit. He kicked the bandit, causing him to roll backwards twice before stopping. There was blood at the corner of his mouth when he got up.

But before it was considered a game, Yang and An went up and slapped him several times. When they stopped, his already swollen face was fumbling when he spoke.Yang He'an looked at him as if he was looking at a dead person, and said: "There is no need to say anything, let me ask." Then, he took out the silver needle that he always carried with him, and said: "You are in the pavilion outside. Take a break, I'll be fine in a while."

Zhan Zhao glanced at him, then dragged Zhao Bijia away.

As for Yang Hean's interrogation skills, Zhao Bijia also wanted to take a look, but every time she recalled his unsatisfactory and frightening smile, she felt that she still had no courage.

Zhao Bijia and Zhan Zhao dragged Zhao Xuan to the pavilion on the side of the main road.

Zhao Bijia suddenly said: "He actually saw your face alone! At that turn, he couldn't see the people behind."

"Well," Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "Besides, I only have a small package and a sword on me. No matter how you look at it, I am not a merchant. There will be no bandits who really rob us."

But after saying a few words, Yang He'an came back and sat down heavily on the stone stool, "It really is King Pu!"

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao wanted to get up, Yang and An said: "There is no evidence, I have searched. From the clothes to the dagger, there is no one who can cross-examine King Pu."

For a while, no one spoke, and there was silence in the gazebo, until Bai Yutang came from the foot of the mountain and saw them looking at each other in confusion, "What's the matter?"

After Zhan Zhao told the story just now, Bai Yutang slapped the table and said, "Where are those two people? Take them back to Mr. Bao! Without physical evidence, it's considered a personal certificate."

Yang He'an looked up at him, and said, "I've already asked, besides, you think King Pu will admit it?"

Bai Yutang took a deep breath, "I'm really aggrieved, why don't we go and do him?"

Zhan Zhao glanced at Zhao Bijia who was silent, got up and said, "Let's go to Miaojiang first, the rest...we'll talk about it when we come back."

But now that someone has already shown their feet, Bai Yutang doesn't have to worry too much and pretend not to know them. Now the few people are walking together. During the journey of seven or eight days, they encountered three attacks at both ends. It's just a pity that they There are two martial arts masters in this team, as well as Yang He'an, Zhao Bijia, who is hiding a lot, and now he can help scratch his claws, and it is very unexpected.

Therefore, they were attacked four times in total, and none of them suffered a disadvantage. On the contrary, those people stayed in the depths of the mountain, and there were no bones left.
