[Rat and Cat] Han Palace Autumn

"Ah!" A suppressed exclamation came from the place by the window, Bai Yutang looked up, and saw Zhang Wu covering his mouth tightly with one hand, looking in horror at the blood gushing across the room.

The door was opened with a "bang", and the guards rushed in. When they saw Zhao Jue lying in a pool of blood, they all had expressions of disbelief.

"Bai Shaoxia... Oh, you!" The [-]th-year-old comforter beat his chest and feet angrily, pointing at Bai Yutang with trembling fingers, unable to speak, "The trial has not passed, the imperial pen has not passed the sentence, why did you kill him! "

Bai Yutang casually wiped his sword off the corpse, without turning his head, he said, "This old thief is determined to sneak up on me, you see—" he said as he swung the sword and scratched his left arm. All of a sudden, the gushing blood soaked through the white clothes in an instant, looking very tragic, "—he cut my arm, if I don't resist, will I let him kill me?"

The pacifier was dumbfounded by the shameless way he opened his eyes and the cruelty he treated himself, and he stammered after a long while: "If...the love...is extenuating, you, then...write the letter to the emperor yourself. Tell me, tell me the truth."

Bai Yutang nodded slightly, then squinted his eyes and asked him: "How is everything going on in the mansion? Sir, what can I use for Bai—"

"No, no, no," the appeasement envoy quickly waved his hands, "The party members in the government have already fallen and scattered, only a few important figures have resisted in the corner, and we have already captured them, and we have not missed anything..."

As if he didn't hear him, Bai Yutang paused for a while, and continued: "——please put it on hold for now. When Bai is free, I will do it right away, and I won't delay." , regardless of the wound on his arm, went straight away.

"Hey, Brother Bai, wait for me..." Zhang Wu who had been silent beside him yelled and chased after him, leaving behind a room full of people staring at each other, completely tormented by this unreasonable imperial envoy who was about to collapse up.

Panting, Zhang Wu followed Bai Yutang who was striding away. The two of them were walking in the quiet garden. The transparent pond has ripples around it.

"Brother Bai, Brother Zhan...how is he?" Zhang Wu adjusted his breath, and asked the man in white with a frosty face beside him carefully. He really regarded Zhan Zhao as his biological brother, so of course he cared about him at the moment. Case.

"It's terrible." Bai Yutang choked out two words, his eyes didn't drift, "But it's not life-threatening anymore."

For some reason, my heart was jumping with joy and at the same time a little dull. Zhang Wu was silent for a while, remembering the conversation he had just heard while hiding outside the window, he still couldn't hold back, and asked with a little trembling: "Then...that prince... ...What he said just now... Brother Zhan, he..."

Bai Yutang stopped abruptly, Zhang Wu couldn't catch up, and bumped into his back, staggering immediately, he didn't dare to say any more, he raised his eyes timidly to see Bai Yutang's cloudy face for a moment, as if he was frightened He lowered his head, unable to speak.

Bai Yutang stood in the deserted garden full of yellow leaves. The bleak autumn wind rolled up his snow-white robe and black hair, and the hem of his clothes fluttered. The last bit of residual heat.

He stared fixedly at Zhang Wu, who bowed his head in front of him, and spoke in a cold and cruel voice: "Listen, I don't care what your intentions are for asking this kind of question. If this is the case, I won't allow a third person to hear it." Pulling out the painting shadow and slashing outwards fiercely, the calm pond was suddenly flooded with water, and a huge boulder half a person's height exploded into pieces on the ground.

Zhang Wu was already stupefied with fright, his mouth was half-opened, the tears in his eyes were rolling, and he dared not fall.

Bai Yutang took a deep look at him, turned around, put the sword back into its sheath, and flung his sleeves away.

Zhang Wu stood by the pool alone, full of grievances and puzzles. He didn't understand why he wanted to ask such a question just now. He just saw Bai Yutang rushing to his crown with blood staining his long sword, and seeing Bai Yutang Tang hurt himself for Zhan Zhao's face without changing his face. Seeing Bai Yutang...seeing Bai Yutang's eyes and all his thoughts on that person from the beginning to the end...he felt that there was a ferocious beast wantonly biting him. His chest... The elder brother Zhan whom he admired so much and looked up to so much was lying weakly on the bed, and he was mentioned in such a tone... He didn't feel heartache and anger at all... He looked at Bai Yutang, who was as heroic and dazzling as ever , it became easier and easier to erase the image of the two standing side by side, the incomparable national warrior that had been planted in his heart. He noticed the gap in disharmony... He noticed that Zhan Zhao, who was once extremely powerful, had become another person. Weak, pale, covered with scars... and what the King of Xiangyang said...

He suddenly woke up, hugging his head in horror, terrified at how he had these thoughts, terrified at the ugly and dirty black clumps, just like bloodthirsty vines that could not get rid of climbing up his heart, where Take root and sprout, and slowly plant the roots of evil deeply into it...

With a scream, he ran towards a place where there was no one in a daze. His brain was hot and stagnant, and it was a mess. He needed to calmly sort out his thoughts, see through his heart, and look at the heart that was rescued by Zhan Zhao himself. What is the shape and color of the heart now?

Bai Yutang walked all the way back to the wing with a cold face, but he never noticed when this child who always followed him and Zhan Zhao silently became like this... He frowned deeply, and Zhan Zhao's charm It is becoming more and more obvious and profound in him, but it is like a clay sculpture and wood carving deliberately figured out according to other people's preferences. It maintains a bright and beautiful shell. The more similar it is, the more it deviates from it. The more it blends its own, those incompatible things.

"Fifth brother!" Bai Yutang pushed the door open, and the brothers jumped up suddenly - the wound on his arm that he had neglected for a long time hadn't stopped bleeding, and the growing red mass on the white clothes was extremely bright and glaring.

He didn't care about letting Mrs. Lu go on bandaging him, and he was already staring at the door of the inner room eagerly.Mrs. Lu saw him like this, she couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Look at what you look like, how many of us are guarding here, can we still show you how to lose people, you want the kitten to see you like this when he wakes up!" A look of embarrassment?"

Bai Yutang was a little embarrassed, he had always been a self-proclaimed romantic, but today his body was stained with water, and his sleeves were even more bloodstained, like Fifth Master laughing at Jianghu, but he has never been so embarrassed.But after thinking about it, he still couldn't bear to change his clothes first and then look at his cat. He responded with ummm, so he walked to the door, gently pushed the door and walked in.

In an instant, the scene in front of him was like a huge stone hitting his chest, he couldn't help but staggered back two steps, his whole body trembled violently, and because he lost too much blood just now, he couldn't bear it and passed out for a moment.

"Fifth brother, fifth brother!" The four mice rushed over to support him, and when they looked into the room, they were all stunned: in the luxuriously furnished room in front of them, there was only a strong smell of medicine and the messy bedding on the bed. And Zhan Zhao, who was supposed to be sleeping peacefully on the bed, had disappeared without a trace.

————————————————————————

When Zhan Zhao regained consciousness again, the first thing he felt was the soft and comfortable bedding under his body and the slight bumps unique to the driving of the carriage, and then he realized that the wound on his body had been treated very well—that kind of The familiar delicate touch unique to Mrs. Lu's special medicine made him feel an unbelievable sense of surprise. Could it be... everything before was not an illusion?Is it true that Yutang is here? The King of Xiangyang... Has he been arrested and brought to justice?

For a moment, there was only unspeakable joy in his heart, but he didn't notice anything wrong, until the unusually quiet environment gradually calmed him down, and he couldn't help but wonder: How could the mouse be so quiet? Besides, The imperial envoys go on tour, clearing the way with gongs and drums along the way, no matter how bad it is, there should be a long and mighty queue, people say horses, how could this be the case?

The people watching at the side saw his long eyelashes trembling slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and his closed eyes began to move slightly, so they couldn't help laughing heartily, and said, "Master Zhan, are you awake?"

The dark jade-like eyes finally opened slightly, as if they were not used to the too strong light for a while, a thin layer of water mist quickly accumulated in front of the somewhat dazed sight, making the cold and sharp pupils appear to glisten, that The man secretly said "No wonder", stepped forward and put a soft pillow behind the person who was struggling to get up, and said in harmony: "Master Zhan, please slow down, your body is very weak now, and you can't stand bumps and bumps." ..."

After Zhan Zhao opened his eyes, he felt that there was a thick layer of white mist around him, making him unable to see clearly. He shook his head until he sat up, and he saw the scene in front of him clearly in a burst of dizziness.

This is a simple and comfortable carriage. The side curtains are tightly closed, so you can't see the outside scenery. There is a small and exquisite heater in the corner of the carriage, and the soothing aroma wafts from it.He turned his gaze back, and finally saw the owner of the voice that made him feel familiar just now.

"Tang...Tang Lan?"

"I'm here, Mr. Zhan." The face of the soft and delicate young man in front of him no longer had the gloom and sarcasm before, but instead turned into a warm smile. Seeing the astonishment on Zhan Zhao's face, he explained himself Said, "Before I caused you and Bai Shaoxia a lot of trouble, I hope you will be Haihan... let's get to know each other again. Xia Tang Lan, who belongs to the Emperor's 36 Shadow Guards' Shenji Battalion, was stationed in Xiangyang by the emperor to provide news for His Majesty. , and secretly control the Tiger Talisman of King Xiangyang's garrison."

Zhan Zhao understood in an instant, no wonder why this mysterious ally could always predict the actions of the King of Xiangyang and them in advance, It’s no wonder that he sent the confidential blueprints for the sky-climbing... When he was interrogating himself unconsciously, a question from him made him wake up instantly, realizing their poor disguise... He smiled gently at people: "I’m sorry! , it turned out to be Master Tang, Master Tang was really clever before, and Zhan and Brother Bai relied on a lot."

"Where is it?" Tang Lan waved her hand, "My martial arts are shallow, if it weren't for the two of you to help open the situation, nothing would be accomplished in Xiangyang!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, both of them had a good impression of each other. After a while, Zhan Zhao asked suspiciously: "By the way, why don't you see Brother Bai? It's rare that Mr. Tang and the imperial envoy are walking together?"
