Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant

so dark...so dark...

In the boundless darkness, Zhan Zhao staggered as he walked, every step seemed to be stepping into a swamp, sinking deeper and deeper.

The black shadows around are like worms, circling and spreading to the upper body, devouring my body bit by bit, and there is a nightmare-like voice whispering in my head: sleep... sleep... never wake up...

sleep--?

Yeah... go to sleep... go to sleep...

Consciousness is like a shattered lens, disappearing piece by piece in the boundless quagmire.

"Master Zhan... Master Zhan..."

Suddenly, a small voice resounded in the empty darkness, like a weak firefly, flying tremblingly to his chest, gradually melting into his heart, turning into a faint but warm halo, flickering like a furnace fire Gradually melting the black shadows that spread to his legs, he pulled Zhan Zhao out of the mud.

"Master Zhan!!!! Master Zhan, wake up!!"

That familiar voice was like a ray of dazzling morning light tearing through the boundless darkness.

It's... Jin... Qian...

Jin Qian...

The orange halo on the chest seems to be alive, like a gushing spring, pouring into the limbs and bones, seeping into the soles of the feet, overflowing, melting the thick darkness surrounding him, and the whole space is gradually covered by orange brilliance, like the warm sun in spring , gentle mind.

The familiar voice from a distance became clearer again.

"Master Zhan! Master Zhan...cough, cough, we're dying of thirst—Fifth Bai, please take over and call for a while, let's go drink some water first—"

"Little Jinzi, are you sure it's useful to howl around the stinky cat's ears like this?"

"Ahem, let me tell you Fifth Master Bai. Now Master Zhan has taken medicine and needles, and you have also helped Master Zhan exercise his energy to adjust his breath. His inner breathing is normal and his pulse is normal, but he still cannot wake up. It must be Master Zhan. It was caused by mental damage before! Therefore, the most important thing now is to wake up Mr. Zhan and help him regain his sanity, so that he can formulate the next treatment plan!"

"What Lieutenant Jin said is true, I also feel that awakening Zhan's guards is a top priority."

"Listen, listen, Mr. Gongsun has said so, what's your opinion, Mr. Bai Wu!?"

"Cough, okay, just shout! Uh-huh! Stinky cat! Dead cat! Lazy cat! How long are you going to sleep? If you don't wake up, Fifth Master, I will demolish Kaifeng Mansion!"

"Cough——Fifth Master, you, you are too much, right?!"

"Didn't you want to stimulate this stinky cat?! Shouting like that will definitely work!"

"What Bai Shaoxia said has some truth."

"Sure enough, Mr. Gongsun has insight. Cough, stinky cat, if you don't want to live anymore, Fifth Lord, I will...sell Xiaojin to a brothel to become a young lady!"

"Puff—cough cough..."

Bai... Yutang...

A wave of thoughts spiraled out of Zhan Zhao's heart, rushed up his throat and jumped out between his teeth.

"very noisy……"

The hoarse voice is so weak that it is almost unrecognizable, but it is so magical that the noisy voice in the room disappears instantly.

A moment of peace.

"Master Zhan is awake!!" An octave-high voice successfully shook Zhan Zhao's closed eyes away.

The soft orange warm light came into the eyes, and the next moment, a head popped out, staring at a pair of slender eyes and began to shout: "Master Zhan, you finally woke up!! What's wrong? Dizziness, brain fever or cold hands and feet? !"

"What a mess!" A hand pulled the head aside, and a pair of peach blossom eyes suddenly approached, "Smelly cat, do you still know me?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhan, do you still recognize us?" Slim eyes squeezed over again.

"Jin Qian...Brother Bai..." Zhan Zhao said slowly and weakly, "You guys... are so noisy..."

"Stinky cat! You really don't know good people!" Bai Yutang's tone sounded rather unfriendly, but the expression on his face was extremely joyful.

"Great, Mr. Zhan is back to normal!" Jin Qian jumped up and happily reported to the people behind him.

The people behind him immediately got up and came to the bed, looking Zhan Zhao up and down.

"Guard Zhan—" Mr. Gongsun heaved a long sigh, "You are too reckless!"

"What's wrong with me?" Zhan Zhao asked with a blank mind, full of doubts.

The room was silent.

Mr. Gongsun set his sights on Jinqian.

Jin Qian scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, suddenly his narrow eyes lit up, and he said a bunch of flattery: "Master Zhan, don't you remember? At that time, we were surrounded by a bunch of evil spirits, and we were about to be in danger, just at this critical moment At the time of thousands of years, Mr. Zhan, you, possessed by a god of gods, came to this world like a general descending to the world to show off his mighty martial arts, soaring into the sky and beating those pretending to be gods and ghosts in a hurry, smashing into an army like a surging river..."

"Slap!" A slap was slapped on the back of Jin Qian's head.

Bai Yutang pushed Jin Qian aside, fixed his peachy eyes on Zhan Zhao, and said solemnly, "Zhan Zhao, you—" After a pause, he took a deep breath, "Before you got mad and lost your sanity, There is no distinction between friends and foes, even—even Xiao Jinzi and I don’t know each other anymore.”

As soon as these words came out, Zhan Zhao's complexion turned pale, and with a sudden effort, he sat up from the bed.

"What did you say?!"

"Fifth Master Bai!" Jin Qian was surprised.

"Bai Shaoxia!" Mr. Gongsun frowned.

"If you can hide it for a while, you can't hide it forever!" Bai Yutang raised his voice suddenly, and Taohua's eyes flashed sharply, "We are all people who roll on the tip of a knife, and if we make a mistake, it is a life-threatening act. Fortunately. It is Zhan Zhao who has not completely lost his sanity this time, and has never harmed innocent people, if he is not warned, and the next time he accidentally goes mad and harms others, he will be to blame for death!"

The room was dead silent.

Mr. Gongsun let out a long sigh and remained silent.

Jin Qian lowered his eyes and scratched his scalp dryly.

After Bai Yutang finished speaking, he seemed to be unable to bear it. He frowned slightly, looked at Zhan Zhao and stopped talking: "Cat, you..."

But Zhan Zhao's face was pale, and he lowered his eyes to silence for a moment, then he raised his eyes to look at Bai Yutang, and said in a steady voice, "Brother Bai, please tell Zhan some details about the future!"

Bai Yutang let out a long sigh, and told Zhan Zhao the ins and outs of the matter in detail, during which he also arrested Jin Qian for several circumstantial evidence.

Zhan Zhao frowned, and listened in silence. Although his face was a little serious, it was normal, but his hands on the bedside were clenched tighter and tighter. When he heard that he could no longer distinguish Bai Yutang and Jin Qian, and even almost missed When Jin Qian was injured, a blue vein burst out suddenly on the back of his hand, and immediately after, traces of blood red overflowed from the palm.

Bai Yutang and Jinqian stood by the bed, they didn't notice this change under their noses, only Mr. Gongsun, who was far away, silently watched Zhan Zhao put his blood-stained hands back into the quilt quietly, wrinkled slightly brow.

"Is Zhanwei better?" Lord Bao's voice came in with the door opening and the night wind.

But Master Bao, Yan Chasan, Wang Chao, and Ma Han hurried in with the wind.

"My lord!" Zhan Zhao hurriedly straightened up, wanting to get out of bed.

"Hey, don't move." Lord Bao stepped forward quickly, supported Zhan Zhao, looked around Zhan Zhao carefully, then nodded, loosened his brows and said, "Just wake up, just wake up! "

Wang Chao and Ma Han stood behind Mr. Bao, looking at Zhan Zhao with worried expressions, but seeing that Zhan Zhao's spirit was not bad, they eased their expressions a bit.

"Master Zhan—" Yan Chasan stepped forward and glanced at Zhan Zhao's expression, then heaved a sigh of relief, "Just as long as you're fine."

"Everyone is tired and worried." Zhan Zhao bowed his head and cupped his fists, "Zhan Zhao is fine now."

Bai Yutang couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard the words, and muttered in a low voice: "A stinky cat who loves to be brave..."

Jin Qian rushed forward and began to report endlessly: "Master Bao, don't worry, as long as Mr. Gongsun rejuvenates with the help of his subordinates, Mr. Zhan will be able to return to his original state, and it will be no problem to go to the sky, hold the moon and go to the sea to catch turtles—"

"Cough!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mr. Gongsun's dry cough.

But seeing Mr. Gongsun stepping forward to block Jin Qian, he cupped his fists at Mr. Bao and said, "My lord, is there any progress in the case?"

Master Bao's face suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "This residence has already asked the servants and maidservants in Luo's residence, and there is nothing suspicious so far. I found a little bit from the twelve corpses sent back just now." His eyes moved to Yan Chasan beside him.

Yan Chasan cupped his fists and raised his voice: "Wu Zuo has experienced twelve female ghosts who were captured and killed by Mr. Zhan, and found that these female ghosts were all disguised by young women, and looking at their faces, the whites of their eyes were red. , the skin turned black, which seems to be a symptom of poisoning, but what kind of poison it is, I can’t tell.” Speaking of this, Yan Chasan paused, looked around, and continued, “Besides, these women They are all handsome, and—the skin on the hands is soft, the joints are slender, and there are no calluses from rough work—”

"Huh? Could it be some rich family daughter?!" Bai Yutang said.

Yan Chasan glanced at Bai Yutang, with a blush on his fair cheeks: "All these women are... not virgins..."

A moment of peace.

young and beautiful...

no rough work...

no longer a virgin...

Uh……

Jin Qian's eyelids twitched wildly, waves of ominous premonitions rushed straight to the cerebral cortex.

It's not that our thoughts are unhealthy!

It’s really because I was hurt by some high-ranking people in a special industry before—so many conditions put together to prevent us from thinking in a wrong way is really difficult for our association ability...

"Could it be..." Zhan Zhao frowned and muttered to himself.

"Tsk!" Bai Yutang clicked his tongue, "Could it be some kind of brothel courtesan again?!"

"It's very possible!" Mr. Gongsun frowned slightly, looking at Master Bao with his beard twisted, and said, "My lord, why don't you make pictures of these women's appearances, spread them all over Bianjing to search for them, and order the government officials to hold the key points of the portraits Inspecting the big and small brothels in Bianjing City, we may be able to find some clues."

"This government has the intention!" Master Bao nodded and raised his voice, "Chao Dynasty, you go and invite a painter to come and paint the appearance of a group of women, and make sure to post the portraits of the twelve unknown female ghosts in the morning tomorrow." The whole city, announce the missing person."

"Yes!" Wang Chao cupped his fists, turned around and walked out.

"Next—" Lord Bao let out a long breath, and glanced at Mr. Gongsun. Mr. Gongsun nodded. Mr. Bao's expression darkened, and he ordered, "Ma Han, bring that boy in."

"Yes!" Ma Han clasped his fists and went out, and brought a person in after a while.

I saw this person, dressed in black and barefoot, with a face as stiff as a stone, standing in the middle of the room like a wooden stake, a pair of dark eyes were absent-minded and empty, which made his half-beautiful and half-ugly face even more strange.

It was the boy in black who looked exactly like Bing Ji.

"What is your last name? Where do you live? Do you have relatives at home?"

Lord Bao looked the boy up and down, and asked a question. Since he also saved Jin Qian and others once, the tone of the question was obviously more relaxed.

But the boy didn't seem to hear it, he still stood straight without moving his eyelids.

Master Bao was taken aback, and raised his voice a little: "Can you hear my question?"

The boy continued to remain silent, but cast a pair of dark eyes to the corner.

Everyone followed the young man's gaze, and happened to see Jin Qian who was stunned.

Did you make a mistake? !Why are you all staring at us? !

Jin Qian felt his scalp numb and the pressure increased sharply, so he could only bite the bullet and glared back: "Hey, Mr. Bao asked you something! Answer it quickly!"

"Answer?" The young man stared at Jin Qian stiffly, tilting his head slightly, "Would you like to answer?"

"Of course!" Jin Qian twitched uncontrollably.

"Oh." The young man nodded, then slowly turned his head to look at Mr. Bao, with a flat voice: "Bing Yu, no, sister."

Three words popped up one after another, and everyone didn't react for a while. After a few turns of their thoughts, they realized that the boy was answering Master Bao's question.

"Your name is Bing Yu, you don't have a home, and you have an older sister?" Master Bao said.

The boy who called himself Ice Feather nodded.

"Who is your sister?" Mr. Gongsun asked.

When Bing Yu heard this question, a gleam of light flashed in her dark and waveless eyes, and she slowly turned her head and stared straight at Jin Qian, staring at Jin Qian until hairs all over her body, before slowly uttering two words.

"Bing Ji."

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Although everyone had guessed a thing or two from the young man's appearance, it was still shocking to hear the young man say it himself.

Everyone looked at the young man with complicated eyes.

Jin Qian looked at Bing Yu with all kinds of tangled eyes.

Tsk!This guy really has something to do with Miss Bing Ji!

Slow!

Could it be - this guy is always staring at us - because...

Jin Qian was shocked suddenly.

He knows that Miss Bing Ji is here to avenge us in order to protect us? !

Thinking of this, Jin Qian couldn't help but glanced back at Bing Yu, but when he saw the eyes of the boy in black were like a bottomless abyss, deep and dark, creepy, his whole body trembled, and he took two steps back.

Bing Yu watched Jin Qian's actions and slowly lowered her eyes.

"Bing Yu." Master Bao cleared his throat, and continued to ask, "Then you know——Miss Bing Ji has already..."

"Sister, I'm dead." Bing Yu raised her eyes and said expressionlessly, "So, Bing Yu, come to Kaifeng Mansion—" Speaking of this, Bing Yu's deep eyes suddenly shot two sharp rays of light, and they shot straight at A lieutenant from the sixth rank, "Look for Jinqian."

Before he could finish speaking, the young man's evil spirit suddenly increased greatly, and everyone in the room did not change their expressions.

Zhan Zhao's face turned pale, and just as he moved, the white figure by the side of the bed was several times faster than him, and flashed to Jin Qian's side in a flash, dragging Jin Qian behind him.

"Brat, what do you want to do?!" Bai Yutang shouted coldly.

The gloomy light in Bing Yu's eyes gradually faded, and turned into a paralyzed face again.

Everyone couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, only staring fixedly at Zhan Zhao, whose thin body was being protected by Bai Yutang behind him, and secretly clenched his fists again.

"Bing, Bing Bing Bing Bing Yu, right? That, that, we, we, we, let's make it clear first!" Jin Qian, who was shivering behind Bai Yutang, poked out his head and said with his tongue, "So, the so-called There is an injustice and a debtor, your sister Bingji was killed by that guy Jiang Chunnan who killed a thousand swords!! If you want revenge, don’t go to the wrong door with a butcher’s knife!!”

Bing Yu seemed a little puzzled, she turned her head, looked at Jin Qian and said: "Jin Qian, why are you afraid, Bing Yu?"

"Eh?" Jin Qian was taken aback for a moment.

But seeing that Bingyu's facial features were stiff and her eyes were dark, she said slowly in a flat voice: "Bingyu, protect Jinqian." As he spoke, he took a step closer to Jinqian, paused, then backed away, and slowly lowered his eyes , with a low voice, "Jin Qian, don't, be afraid of Bing Yu." Finally, he raised his eyes to look at Jin Qian again.

His face was still expressionless, but for some reason, everyone smelled a "poor" smell.

Jin Qian's eyes suddenly widened like two grapes.

Is it an illusion, is it an illusion, is it an illusion? !

How did we seem to see an abandoned canine? !

Not to mention Jin Qian, the others also couldn't remember it for a while.

In the end, it was Yan Chasan who had the strongest ability to resist blows. He came back to his senses first and asked, "Bing Yu, you said you are here to protect Jin Qian?"

Ice Feather nodded.

"Why protect Jinqian?" Yan Chasan asked.

"Jinqian, it's dangerous, you need to protect it." As he spoke, a look of ruthlessness suddenly appeared on his face, "I want, revenge."

The atmosphere in the room instantly condensed into ice.

Bai Yutang drew out his sword in a swish, and pointed it directly at the tip of Bingyu's nose: "Stinky boy, what are you talking about? You say you want to protect Xiao Jinzi, and then you want revenge?! If you don't make it clear, Fifth Master Bai will make you bloody!" Splash five steps!"

Jin Qian even took the opportunity to take a few steps back, muttering in his mouth as he retreated: "Tsk, isn't this kid a little bit of a brain?! The preface doesn't match the postscript... Is it to protect us or to protect us? Kill us?!"

As she said that, she unknowingly retreated to the side of Zhan Zhao's bed.

"Bingyu, do you know that Miss Bingji was killed by Jiang Chunnan to protect Captain Jin?"

The clear and clear voice suddenly sounded from behind, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky exploding on the top of Jin Qian's head.

"Hiss—" Jin Qian gasped and turned his head to look at a certain fourth-rank guard.

"Cat?!" Bai Yutang's peachy eyes widened and he exclaimed, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Everyone in the room stared at Zhan Zhao in astonishment.

Bing Yu remained expressionless, but shifted her gaze from Jin Qian to Zhan Zhao who was sitting upright on the bed.

Zhan Zhao's black eyes were as calm as water, he took a fixed look at Jin Qian, turned his black eyes, looked back at Bing Yu, and said slowly: "Actually, the person Miss Bing Ji originally wanted to protect—is Zhan."

"Hiss——" Jin Qian almost choked to death from the cold air he inhaled.

But the rest of the people in the room, including Bai Yutang, were shocked.

A glint of light flickered in Bing Yu's pitch-black eyes.

"Jiang Chunnan originally wanted to kill Zhan, and Miss Bingji wanted to protect Zhan, but at that time Jiang Chunnan temporarily changed her mind to kill Captain Jin for some reason. By accident, Miss Bingji died in Jiang Chunnan under the sword. However, Miss Bingji's death is absolutely inseparable from Zhan!"

The room was dead silent.

Master Bao stared, Mr. Gongsun frowned, Bai Yutang was dumbfounded, Yan Chasan was dumbfounded for a while, and suddenly looked at a dumbfounded sixth-rank captain.

What, what's going on?

Why did the cat pop up like this all of a sudden?

Jin Qian stood there completely dumbfounded.

"So," Zhan Zhao raised his body, "If you want to avenge your sister, don't look for Captain Jin, just come to Zhan Zhao!"

Under the flickering lights, the handsome young man looks haggard, with thin and pale lips, only a pair of bright black eyes, as clear as water, firm and unwavering.

Difficult, could it be—the cat, the cat... This, this is, protecting us? ! !

Jin Qian only felt his chest convulsed, and suddenly had difficulty breathing, accompanied by a series of abnormal symptoms such as trembling hands and feet, blockage in the heart and numbness of the brain.

This, this, this, is it not...

Whoops!

My God!

Could it be that even God can't understand Mao'er, a perfect idol, who wants to protect such an inconspicuous little person like us and send down the punishment of God? ! ! !

Thinking of this, Jin Qian suddenly felt the cold sweat running down his back, and he almost knelt down on the ground, burning incense and praying on the spot.

Everyone had no time to see Jin Qian's fierce psychological struggle. At this moment, everyone stared solemnly at the black-clothed boy in the middle of the room.

"Zhan, Zhao—" Bing Yu slowly spit out these two words, as if two heavy hammers hit everyone's hearts.

Bai Yutang clenched the sword tightly, Taohua's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he stared at Bingyu coldly, as if if Bingyu made a slight move, he would kill him on the spot.

"Bing Yu, I understand." Bing Yu slowly lowered her eyes, and after a while, she raised her eyes, "Sister, I like, Zhan Zhao."

Ok?

As soon as this sentence came out, Zhang Er was a little puzzled by everyone, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little weird.

"Bing Yu, don't kill Zhan Zhao, don't kill Jin Qian." Bing Yu raised her voice slightly, "Bing Yu's protection, Jin Qian, is, for revenge."

This time, everyone finally understood a bit.

"You mean, you protect Xiao Jinzi to avenge your sister?!" Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes and asked.

Ice Feather nodded.

"Clarify it to me!" Bai Yutang continued to ask.

Bingyu frowned slightly: "Kill, Jiang Chunnan, they don't allow it, waste Bingyu's internal strength, Bingyu, can't take revenge, know that Jinqian is in danger, protect Jinqian, in the future, he can take revenge."

"You mean—someone stopped you from killing Jiang Chunnan, and even crippled your internal strength, and you can only have a chance to take revenge in the future if you guarantee Jinqian's safety?"

Mr. Gongsun thought for a while, then summed up the main points and repeated them.

Ice Feather nodded.

"Who are the 'they' you speak of?" Master Bao asked in a raised voice.

A cold light suddenly appeared in Bingyu's eyes, and the voice changed from flat to cold for the first time: "Fire messenger."

"Fire Messenger?" Master Bao narrowed his eyes, "Who is it?"

"I don't know." Bing Yu lowered her eyes and slowly shook her head, "Bing Yu, a killer, is not worthy, I know."

"Bingyu, are you—a killer?" Mr. Gongsun interrupted and asked.

"Killer." Bing Yu corrected, thought for a while, and added another sentence, "In the past, chasing and killing, Jin Qian, and Zhan Zhao."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help thinking of the ignorant black-clothed killer army they had encountered many times before, and their expressions were a little unkind.

"It turns out that you brat is the masked killer who hunted us down!" Bai Yutang almost raised his sword and slashed twice to vent his anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "We were killed by you at that time!"

Bingyu lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: "Order, Bingyu, must, obey!"

"Oh?!" Bai Yutang sneered, "Then why don't you obey orders now? Why don't you just run here and swear that you will protect the people you chased and killed before?"

Bing Yu slowly raised her head, and a desolate look gradually appeared on her face, which seemed to be frozen by ice and snow: "Sister, dead, they, can't, threaten Bing Yu, Bing Yu, no more, obey orders."

There was silence in the room, even Bai Yutang, who had been speaking sarcasticly, was silent.

"They have been... using Miss Bing Ji to threaten you to obey orders?!" Yan Chasan asked in a low voice.

Ice Feather nodded.

"You and your sister..." Yan Chasan's expression darkened, as if he couldn't continue.

"Sister, relatives, treat Bing Yu well!" Bing Yu said, "For my sister, Bing Yu, come here to protect Jinqian."

Master Bao twisted his beard, pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and said, "Why protect Captain Jin so that you can take revenge?"

"Sister, I said that protecting Jinqian is the only way to stop Master."

"Master?!" Lord Bao's voice suddenly rose, and he couldn't help looking at Mr. Gongsun.

Mr. Gongsun's complexion was dark: "Who is the master you speak of?"

Bing Yu shook her head: "Sister knows, Bing Yu doesn't know."

Everyone in the room looked solemn at the same time.

"Bing Yu, are these female ghosts tonight the ones who harmed Colonel Jin?" Master Bao asked.

Bing Yu nodded, then shook her head again.

"What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?" Mr. Gongsun asked.

"Also—" Bing Yu raised her head, "Jin Qian, it's dangerous."

"You mean, there are others?" Mr. Gongsun speculated.

Bing Yu nodded, and turned his gaze to Jin Qian: "Bing Yu, protect Jin Qian." As if afraid of Jin Qian's unbelief, he raised his voice a little bit: "Bing Yu, internal strength, I don't have it, but, Bing Yu, can protect Jin Qian." , Jin Qian, believe it, Bing Yu!"

"We..." Looking at Bing Yu's paralyzed face, Jin Qian suddenly felt his throat was choked by something, and he didn't say a word for a while.

Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun looked at each other, pondered for a moment, Mr. Bao finally cleared his throat, and concluded: "In this case, Captain Jin, from tomorrow onwards, you will be responsible for taking care of Bing Yu."

"Eh?" Jin Qian was taken aback.

"Take good care of it." Mr. Gongsun smiled slightly at Jinqian.

Jin Qian suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and hurriedly clasped his fists in response: "Your subordinate obeys!"

Tsk, why is Gongsun Zhuzi smiling so weirdly?

There is a bad feeling!

Lord Bao nodded, stood up and said to Zhan Zhao: "Guard Zhan, you should cultivate here—" Before he finished speaking, Zhan Zhao suddenly sat up straight, cupped his fists and raised his voice, "My lord, Zhan Zhao is gone." No problem, you can be on duty tomorrow!"

"Guard Zhan!" Master Bao's face darkened, "Don't you obey the orders of the government?!"

"Zhan Zhao..." Zhan Zhao frowned, and was about to speak, but was picked up by Bai Yutang at the side.

"Smelly cat, you can take care of it at ease!" Bai Yutang glared at Zhan Zhao, then cupped his fists at Master Bao, and said seriously, "Master Bao, if you have any orders, Bai Yutang will not hesitate to do so!"

"There is a righteous man named Lao Bai!" Master Bao said happily.

"Guard Zhan, let's cultivate for a few days, don't bother your mind." Mr. Gongsun stepped forward to remind.

"Mr. Gongsun, Zhan Zhao..."

"Okay, it's settled." Master Bao patted Zhan Zhao's shoulder, "Take a good rest."

After speaking, he led a group of people to leave one by one.

"Master Zhan, don't worry, this subordinate will go back and make some pills for your body. Within three days, Master Zhan, you will be able to eat Mamaxiang as usual!"

Jin Qian, who was the last to leave, patted his chest and assured Zhan Zhao.

The door panel was lightly closed, and the tranquility of the house was restored, and the bright moonlight streamed in through the window, faintly covering the bed curtain.

Zhan Zhao sighed softly, leaned his back on the bed lightly, put his palm on his heart, frowned slightly, closed his long eyelashes and trembled slightly, and shook off the two Qinghui.

-

Listening to the song of the birds, the morning light rises, and the autumn wind and clouds disperse the haze.

As soon as it was dawn, Master Bao's court team left Kaifeng Mansion. Yan Chasan hurried to the Confucius Courtyard with two large scrolls in his back. When he came to Mr. Gongsun's wing, he knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Gongsun, Yan Cha See you later."

"Come in." Mr. Gongsun's voice in the room was slightly tired.

Yan Chasan pushed the door and entered, but saw Mr. Gongsun sitting in front of the desk, holding a pen in one hand and flipping through files with the other. His eyes were covered with black halos, obviously he hadn't slept all night.

"Brother Yan, did you make a discovery?" Seeing Yan Cha scattered into the room, Mr. Gongsun put down the brush in his hand and raised his head to ask.

Yan Chasan, who also looked haggard, hurriedly put down the scrolls in his hands, carefully pulled out two scrolls from the middle, and slowly unfolded them while whispering: "Mr. Gongsun, Yan studied the paintings brought back from the Luofu study carefully all night. , found that these two landscape paintings are indeed strange."

"Oh?" Mr. Gongsun hurriedly stepped forward two steps to Yan Chasan's side, staring intently, "What did you find?"

"Mr. Gongsun, please look!" Yan Chasan pushed the window open, erected the scroll to reflect the morning sun, "If you look at these two paintings in light, you can see the special watermark printed on the paper of this painting."

Mr. Gongsun squinted his phoenix eyes and looked carefully, but saw that under the morning light, there was a faint ring on the drawing paper, and this ring was actually connected end to end by five characters "Wan" in different fonts. It is connected, with beautiful strokes and exquisite craftsmanship.

"This..." Mr. Gongsun was startled, as if thinking of something, he suddenly took a breath, "Could it be?!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a scream resounding through the sky from the side room diagonally opposite.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Why are you here?!!"

Yan Chasan's hands holding the scroll trembled from the scream, and he retracted it unconsciously. The window covered by the scroll appeared in front of the two of them, and the three rooms on the opposite side of the window were immediately visible.

Hearing two loud bangs of "Kang Dang, Bang Dang", two figures, one red and one white, rushed out of the two rooms on the left and right at the same time. They rushed into the middle room one after another.

"Jin Qian?!"

"Little Gold?!"

The exclamations of a certain royal cat and a certain mouse came out one after the other.

Then, there was a moment of silence.

Then, there was another ping-pong-pong sound in the house.

"Stinky boy, why are you here?!" A certain mouse's anger hit the roof.

"Hula-la--" A gust of cold wind swirled out, blowing the door of a certain school lieutenant's room wide open with a bang.

But I saw three people rushing out of the house, or two people came out carrying one person.

The royal cat on the left has a handsome face like a coffin board, and the young squirrel on the right has a beautiful face as dark as the bottom of an iron pot.Excuse me, the two of them went out at the same time, and the one who was dragged out of the gate by the neck, tall and thin in black, with a paralyzed face, was actually Bing Yu.

"Closer and protect Jinqian, why, angry?" A certain face paralyzed was dragged out of the Confucian Academy, while asking questions.

What answered him was a "Thunderbolt Invincible White Mouse Punch" by a certain mouse.

"pain!"

"Stinky boy, shut up!"

"Very, painful."

"Scream again! Shout again and sew your mouth shut!"

"Brother Bai, show mercy."

"It's very, cold...Ah Choo!"

The content of the conversation followed the figures of the three of them and left the Confucius Courtyard.

"Is there a mistake! Say what you say and leave, does anyone care about other people's privacy these days?! Ah, Ah Choo!"

A voice of unknown meaning came from a certain school lieutenant's room.

"Mr. Gongsun, this..." Yan Chasan, who had watched the whole incident, looked blankly at the chief master next to him.

Mr. Gongsun heaved a long sigh: "Guard Zhan really refused to listen to the persuasion to stay in bed to recuperate, alas—" he said, slowly turned and went into the inner room, and after a while, he took... took two cloaks out, and put them in One was handed over to Yan Chasan.

Yan Chasan took it in a daze, turned his head to look at the sky outside, the wind was sunny and cloudless, it was a fine autumn day, and he couldn't help but wondered: "Mr. Go to the cloak—”

"In case of emergencies." Mr. Gongsun said with a slight smile.

"Ah? Ah, good. Thank you, sir." Yan Chasan nodded with a puzzled expression.

Afterwards, it was proved that the Chief Registrar of Kaifeng Mansion, who claims to have a seven-orifice and exquisite heart, is definitely an existence like a prophetic god who predicts things.

The second time Yan Chasan saw a certain lieutenant was in the dining hall during lunch time.

At that time, for the first time, a school captain did not grab the once-a-week braised pork rice set meal, but instead sat next to a certain royal cat, screaming with an expression of "stalking, stalking, rolling around, you shouldn't, we just didn't play with you" Again and again.

"Master Zhan, you are in good health, so you should stay in bed and recuperate. You shouldn't bother yourself. If this is the root cause of your illness—how can we explain to Kaifeng Mansion, Master Bao, Mr. Gongsun, and the people of Bianjing?!"

"Zhan is already well, so you don't need Captain Jin to worry about it." A certain royal cat held the rice in his hand, carefully picking up the vegetables in front of him.

"Since you're already well, why don't you dare to let Xiao Jinjin diagnose your pulse?" A certain mouse sat beside her with her feet up, nibbling on the braised pork with taste, her peachy eyes slanted at a certain royal cat, "Could it be——you stinky cat?" Is there any unseen hidden disease?!"

Zhizhi Hongying paused, slowly put down the porcelain bowl in his hand, and looked coldly at the white mouse who was laughing wantonly.

Bai Yutang's eyebrows were raised high, with an expression of "I just want to annoy you, what?"

Zhan Zhao withdrew his gaze, paused, and slowly stretched his wrist in front of Jin Qian.

"Zhan did not hide anything."

"That's right!" Jin Qian put his finger on Zhan Zhao's pulse door in a hurry, and nodded frequently, "Let's help Mr. Zhan diagnose your pulse well, and then prescribe some medicines for Mr. Zhan to replenish your body." , if Mr. Zhan, you think it’s troublesome to take soup and medicine, let’s make some convenient and effective pills for you, Mr. Zhan, if Mr. Zhan, you’re afraid of hardship—eh?!”

Jin Qian's thin eyes suddenly widened, he raised his head suddenly, and looked Zhan Zhao up and down with an expression of disbelief.

"How?" Bai Yutang leaned forward and asked nervously.

With a calm face, Zhan Zhao withdrew his wrist: "What?"

"Master Zhan, you—" Jin Qian blinked and scratched his scalp, "The pulsation is strong, the righteousness is sufficient, the blood is full, and the body is very healthy."

Bai Yutang blinked his eyelids, leaned back, and returned to his leisurely look: "It really is a strange cat with nine lives!"

"Zhan has already said that there is no serious problem." Zhan Zhao calmly picked up the rice and continued to eat carefully.

"It's amazing..." Jin Qian scratched his head in amazement.

"Strange." Suddenly, a flat voice came out without warning.

The three of them turned their heads at the same time, and were suddenly taken aback.

Less than three steps away from the three of them, Bing Yu stood upright, lifeless and expressionless, like a ghost.

"Fifth Master, didn't I tie you to the bed in the guest room? How did you get out?" Bai Yutang jumped up and asked in surprise.

But Bing Yu didn't even lift her eyelids, walked straight to Jin Qian, sat down straight, turned her dark eyes to Zhan Zhao, paused, then turned her eyes to look at Jin Qian without moving, as if Stone statues generally almost omit breathing.

"Bing, Bingyu, what are you doing?" Jin Qian asked with a shivering face.

"Closer, protection." Bing Yu replied.

"A-Actually, that Bing Yu, there is no danger in Kaifeng Mansion!"

"Closer, protection." A certain facial paralysis is still persistent.

Bai Yutang's face darkened, Zhan Zhao's expression was cold.

The temperature in the dining hall began to drop.

A group of yamen servants moved outside with their rice bowls in a very sensible manner.

Yan Chasan trembled, and hurriedly took out the cloak given by Mr. Gongsun and put it on.

"Hey yo..."
