Kaifeng Cat and Mouse Detective Manuscript

Early the next morning, when the entire Kaifeng Mansion and even the ordinary people were still asleep, Ren Xingluo opened his eyes from the bed, and Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang was awakened by the sound of him jumping outside, so he simply packed up and got out of bed .

"Cat, is 500 taels enough?"

Bai Yutang took out the brocade box from the cabinet, which contained the usual expenses of the two of them.Generally, Zhan Zhao is responsible for the money when going out. Bai Yutang is used to spending a lot of money. From time to time, he can throw a tael of silver at others while drinking tea, so now as long as the two of them go out together, all the money belongs to Zhan Zhao.

"………enough."

Zhan Zhao paused, thinking of the East China Sea, maybe he saw something new and wanted to bring it back to Big Brother Lu and the others.

"Okay, okay, let's go!"

Bai Yutang snapped his fingers, and stepped out in a big stride.

After Ren Xingluo said goodbye to the little book boy early, under the envious eyes of the other party, he carried the package and ran all the way to the stable. Wuyun Taxue and Lvzi followed him when they saw him.

There is still a month before Ai Hu said,? If they rode there, they could arrive in mid-August. There is no rush.

"Master! I'm leaving first!"

Ren Xingyu's childish nature, after Zhan Zhao and the two came out, they greeted each other and rode out of the city on horseback. However, the gate of the city was not opened yet, so they had to hold the horse by the side dejectedly. kick stones.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't feel this kind of excitement, so they turned around and went to the only stall on the side of the road that opened early, ordered a few steamed buns, and then waved for Ren Xingluo to come over.After the three of them had eaten and drank enough, the gates of the city opened.

Although the weather is a little cooler now, it is still quite hot when the sun comes up.The three of them headed south along the official road. They were still refreshed in the morning, but they began to break out in a fine sweat shortly after noon. They ran faster than anyone else at the beginning of Wuyun Treading Snow. Not moving under the shaded tree.

"Dead horse! Are you usually used to you?!"

Bai Yutang tapped Zhanlu on the head lightly, pinched its ears and cursed.

It's a pity that the horse doesn't understand human language, Wuyun Taxue not only ignored it, but also turned his head and sprayed hot air on Bai Yutang's face, grinning wide, lowered his head and gnawed on the grass.

Ren Xingluo took out the water bag from the package, and drank most of it with a vigorous gulp.The excitement at the beginning was also melted by the high hanging sun. In addition, I slept very late last night, and now I seem to have exhausted all my strength, just lying softly on the horse's back and dozing off non-stop. Unmoved.

"Yutang, just rest here for a while, and leave later."

Zhan Zhao raised his head and covered his forehead to look at the dazzling sun, and pointed to a grass field blocked by trees.It's the hottest time of the day, not to mention the horses don't want to go, even the people are very irritable.

"Alright." Bai Yutang nodded, and tied the three horses to the tree trunk by the river while Ren Xingxiao kept bowing his head and yawning.

"This bad weather, I really don't know what those people think."

Bai Yutang kicked away a few obvious stones, muttered a little dissatisfied, threw the package on the ground, and lay up straight on it, with his right foot resting on his left, squinting his eyes comfortably under the clothes.The hot wind streaked across the water and blew on the leaves with a clattering sound.

Ren Xingluo started to catch up on sleep as soon as he got off the horse. He lay on the grass on all fours and fell asleep unconsciously. After a while, he started snoring.

They probably won't be able to make it to the next town tonight, and the three of them didn't bring anything except their clothes for convenience, which meant that they needed to go hunting in the mountains by themselves tonight, but fortunately there was a river that wasn't too deep or shallow.Bai Yutang rolled up his trouser legs, took the sharpened long stick from Zhan Zhao, and walked cautiously towards the waist-deep pool not far away.

There was no one around this place, the pool was clear and clear, and there was a small waterfall flowing down from above, hitting the stones with a rattling sound, and the water droplets kept splashing on the two of them, which washed away the dryness and heat.

"Cat, go on!"

Bai Yutang's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he raised his stick and dropped it on a black fish with a length of forearm. When it was brought out of the water, the fish seemed to have just reacted and struggled non-stop. There was no movement, and then he pulled it vigorously and threw it into Zhan Zhao's hand.

The smallest fish in Tanli was as big as two palms, Bai Yutang cut three of them, and squatted on the stone with Zhan Zhao to dissect them.

Both of them are good at grilling fish, mainly because they have practiced in the wild all year round.In a short while, three black fishes that were frantically jumping around were strung on wooden sticks.

July is the time when wild fruits are plentiful. Zhan Zhao picked more than a dozen fruits from the books by the river. to the body of the fish.The fire in Bai Yutang had just been lit, and the two of them stuck the fish around, turning it over occasionally, and the aroma was overflowing after a while.

"Cat, would you like to try it?"

Bai Yutang cut a piece of fish belly and handed it to Zhan Zhao's mouth. Zhan Zhao ate it with his fingers and nodded, "It's a bit bland."

"Let's just make do with it. I'll go to town tomorrow and buy some peppercorns for my preparation." Bai Yutang also took a sip.

When the three of them went back, Ren Xingxiao was sleeping soundly with the package in his arms, Bai Yutang kicked his ankles, held the fish to the tip of his nose and shook it.

"what?"

Ren Xinglu sniffed, his eyelids moved, and then he stood up suddenly.

The three men were also eating quickly, and the sun was setting and the surrounding area was getting cool, so it was a good time to continue on their way.Wuyun Taxue and Lvzi ate and drank by the river for a while, and when Bai Yutang just got on the horse's back, he raised his horse's hooves and couldn't wait to continue running along the official road.

"Let's go too."

Zhan Zhao and Ren Xingluo slowed down a bit, and the two horses were not as lively as the dark clouds riding the snow. "Drive—" Zhan Zhao yelled softly, tightening his grip on the reins. The black figure chased Bai Yu through light and shadow like an arrow leaving the string. Church.

This trip traveled dozens of miles, and stopped only when the moon shone on the mountains and forests.Although the Song Dynasty was peaceful, there were still few people traveling at night. Along the way, the three met many caravans camping to rest.

The moonlight fell on the ground through the branches and leaves, faintly illuminating the road.Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao had very good eyesight, they were still nagging and driving, Ren Xingluo pulled the horse behind them and followed slowly.

"It's better to drive at night."

The cool breeze hit the body, except for the horseshoes, there was an occasional insect chirping.Both of them were dressed in black today. Bai Yutang folded his arms and swayed on the horse's back. The waist-length crimson hair band slowly fluttered to his shoulders as the dark clouds stepped on the snow.Zhan Zhao was very close to him, seeing Zhan Lu clutching him loosely and tightly in his hands for a while, he took it from left to right, leaned over and asked, "Sleepy?"

"A bit."

Bai Yutang blinked hard.The surrounding area is surrounded by mountains and forests, so it is not suitable for resting at night. Although Ren Xingluo took a nap in the afternoon, he was still in a trance at this time. After discussing it, the two of them decided to walk a little further. There was an abandoned Yizhuang about ten miles away. When he was out of Kaifeng to handle cases before, Zhan Zhao also stayed there many times.

After deciding on the location, Bai Yutang patted the horse's back and signaled Wuyun Tacue to continue on the road so that he could rest early.Ren Xingluo was awakened by his master, and after learning that he was resting not far away, he quickly rubbed his eyes and caught up with the two figures in front of him.

Yizhuang is located in a small road surrounded by a forest. Because no one repaired it, the bamboo fence that was originally erected around it has been crumbling. The three of them led the horse into the yard, only to find that someone had already settled down inside, looking at the parked cars. Several carriages tied with ropes should be a caravan.The people in Yizhuang heard the movement when the three of them tied their horses and sent someone out to check.

"Brother Zun, please," Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang held his sword and performed the courteous etiquette to the tall and strong man who came out from the inside, and then said, "The three of us pass here, I wonder if it is convenient to go inside?"

"It's all passing by, where is it inconvenient!"

The big man was also straightforward, seeing that Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang was full of chivalry, and his actions were full of quackery, maybe he was also a chivalrous man who traveled far and wide, so he waved his hand and invited the three of them in.They are caravans, as long as they don't meet desperadoes and thieves, everything is fine.

There were more than a dozen bodyguards staying in Yizhuang, and two of them sitting by the fire should be bodyguard heads.Both Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were not talkative people, and after nodding to the group, they sat down by the window on their left.

It was cold at night, but fortunately the windows were broken but they could still shelter the wind. Ren Xingluo fell asleep as soon as he touched the wooden boards. The caravan had been changing guards all the time. Although there was no danger, but because of years of habit, even though Zhan Zhao closed his eyes, But he didn't fall asleep completely, but kept paying attention to the movement around him.

It was almost midnight, and the fire was burning not far away. The bodyguards needed to change shifts at night, and the group of people gathered together to play dominoes.The long squares carved from off-white bamboo clicked together, Bai Yutang patted his mouth, and woke up from sleep, the last bit of drowsiness was also awakened by the ensuing cold wind.

"Thieving cat, let's go, let's go out with the master."

Bai Yutang stretched, turned his wrists and muscles, and looked at the moonlight outside. Instead of listening to the noise inside, it's better to find a quiet place outside.

Zhan Zhao has always been meaningless to his words, and after bowing his head and taking the giant que, he followed Bai Yutang out, leaving Ren Xingluo to sleep alone in the room.

After the two walked out, they didn't notice that the two escort leaders had a look of shock on their faces when they heard Bai Yutang address Zhan Zhao.

"right here!"

Bai Yutang looked around, and finally found the hillside of the Yizhuang opposite, jumped up and shouted at Zhan Zhao.

The hillside was not high, and there was a one-meter-long stone on it. It was slightly wet with dew at this time, and it was just enough for two people to lie on it.

"Sleep, sleep, we have to hurry tomorrow."

Bai Yutang turned over, put his head on Zhan Zhao's shoulder, twitched his fingers restlessly around his hair, and said in a chaotic manner.

"Ah."

Zhan Zhao replied lightly, and let Bai Yutang kiss him on the cheek, letting go of his heart.

It stands to reason that tonight should be a peaceful night, but I don't know if it's because one of the two of them is unlucky, and they couldn't sleep for more than an hour before they were awakened by the sound of chaotic footsteps below.

"Someone robbed the dart?!"

Bai Yutang propped himself up on the stone, looked at the swaying figures outside Yizhuang and said.
