[Rat and Cat] Han Palace Autumn

There is a poem that says: "When the stream cloud first rises, the sun sinks into the pavilion, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind fills the building."

Zhan Zhao stood in front of the window, the sudden and violent evening wind made his clothes flutter and flutter, and the bright red tassels on his temples also fluttered in the wind.For some reason, it was obvious that he had the chance to win, but everything was ready and he owed Dongfeng, but his heart seemed to be blocked by something, and he was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

"Master Zhan, Master Bao told you to come over." A servant dressed as a servant stood still outside the window, bowing his head respectfully.

Zhan Zhao responded, grabbed Juque from the table and tied it around his waist, and walked to Mrs. Bao's bedroom.Along the way, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart was getting deeper and deeper. He looked up at the sky, the setting sun was about to end, the wind was howling, and the sky was dyed a heavy deep yellow by the raging sand and stones.On weekdays, the graceful weeping willows frantically swing their branches like a madman.

Walking to the front yard, seeing that Bao Zheng had put on his official uniform, and the surrounding yamen servants were ready to go, Zhan Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"You don't need to be too courteous for guards." Bao Zheng gave a hand, "The government has just received information that the suspect's den has been identified as the Yuelingpo Earth Temple, where the lost treasury silver should be hidden. You prepare a little, Go with the government to arrest him."

"Yes, my lord." Zhan Zhao clasped his fists, looked around, and asked in doubt, "My lord, where is Mr. Gongsun?"

Bao Zheng said in a deep voice: "The wind just picked up, sir, I want to protect some herbs, but I don't know why I haven't come back yet."

Feeling more flustered in his heart, Zhan Zhao hurriedly clasped his fists together: "My lord, wait a moment, this subordinate will go to find Mr."

Not daring to delay, the swallows flew open, and within a few breaths they arrived at Gongsun Ce's small courtyard. The medicinal herbs in the courtyard were messy and were toppled by the strong wind, but Mr. Gongsun was the only one to be seen.

"Sir...Sir?" Zhan Zhao called out, rushing into the inner room with a little luck, the plainly furnished room was still empty, the window was wide open, and the books that were usually placed in a mess were scattered all over the place.He hurriedly closed the window, but saw a note nailed to the window lattice with a plum blossom dart.

Zhan Zhao's heart shuddered, the plum blossom dart was clearly the same as the dart that the Ouchi assassin injured him the day before yesterday.

Pulling off the thin paper, a few isolated words seem to carry strong mockery: Within half a moment, Yue Ling Slope, Earth Temple.

----------------------

The lightness kung fu is running to the extreme, Zhan Zhao has only one thought in his mind at the moment: Hurry up, hurry up - just hurriedly told the adults, and then ran to the destination with all his strength - half a quarter of an hour is too short, Yue Lingpo is far away in the city In addition, let alone find that humble earth temple.He had no choice but to break away from the troops in the government and rescue Mr. Gongsun as soon as possible, so that the adults could arrest the murderer and handle the case without interference.

"Mr. Gongsun..." There was a burst of regret in his heart, "Mr. is only a weak scholar, how could he stand up to this change, if it wasn't...if it wasn't for him without guards..." His nails were deeply embedded in his palm, thinking of Mr. Gentleman With a smile and a distressed and helpless look when he was healing himself, he worked harder to increase the speed that had reached the limit.

In a blink of an eye, I arrived near Yue Ling Slope, but there was no one in the distance, and I was anxious. It seemed that there was a very slight Sanskrit singing in the deep and dark forest. Although the sound was weak... it seemed to pass through the wind. The rattling branches pass straight through people's hearts like the wind passing through thousands of rivers and mountains.Zhan Zhao regained his composure, and shouted: "Who is pretending to be a ghost, come out!"

Three figures slowly walked out of the bushes, a young girl, a middle-aged man, and a big man.The big man held a figure dressed as a scribe in his hand, and his thick arms seemed to strangle the scholar from it.

It's Mr. Gongsun!Zhan Zhao's heart was shocked, but his face remained expressionless.

The girl with a beautiful face giggled, and pointed to the unconscious hostage in the big man's hand with her tender fingers: "Hero Zhan, although we met for the first time, we have been acquainted with Nan Xia's illustrious reputation for a long time... I know that I am not the master." The cat's opponent has to ask Mr. to help." She suddenly narrowed her eyes, and ordered to the big man, "Within three counts, if Mr. Zhan doesn't show any signs, you can cut off one of the scholar's hands! three two……"

"Wait!"

Hastily interrupted, Zhan Zhao inserted the half-drawn Juque back into the scabbard, and stepped forward carefully: "What should I do so that you don't hurt him?"

He withdrew his body's defenses and stood there quietly. Although his back was still straight, he gave off a relaxed and weak feeling.However, the corners of the mouth that often wear a soft smile are tightly pursed, and the eyebrows and eyes are like the moon in the autumn pond, clear and quiet, and the turbulent waves are hidden under the peaceful appearance.

The girl tilted her head, showing a shy and sweet smile: "Hero Zhan, don't come here."

Zhan Zhao's brain is running extremely fast, the current situation is really unfavorable, the three people on the opposite side are all well-known masters in the world, and they even kidnapped Mr.... Can he say that he thinks too highly of himself?With a wry smile secretly, but his face remained calm, he simply withdrew his hands from the hilt of the sword to indicate harmlessness, and said softly: "You have sir in your hands, so I will not be your enemy. I will not hurt you, sir is weak , let him take a breath first?"

Some people don't need to do anything at all, as long as they stand there, their eyebrows are full of heart-wrenching demeanor.

The girl giggled, brushing the emerald green hair with her hand: "Zhan Lang's words are just like that brother's love, which makes people feel soft and tight." She raised an eyebrow with a coquettish smile, "It's just Could it be that the slave family is really regarded as a stupid woman raised in a deep boudoir? We dare not believe this."

Beads of sweat gradually oozed from his forehead, Zhan Zhao stood with his hands down, chatting with the girl, and at the same time he had to resist the soul-stirring chant from the middle-aged man, as if there was a huge wave churning in his chest - "Now I am restrained everywhere, the only one The remaining advantage is the sword heart cultivation level that no one in the rivers and lakes knows about."

Right now, his never-before-displayed unique skill of transforming sword intent is his greatest reliance.

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao raised his head and stared at the three of them like lightning, and shouted in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, why bother to be vague, you should also know that Kaifeng Mansion only knows the principles, not the current affairs. If you get something from someone, you might as well just say it straight!"

While the three of them were startled by his sudden change, they suddenly channeled their whole body's power into sword energy and attacked, cutting off the big man's palm with their wrists like lightning. Dodging in front of him, the red silk that she had plundered came back and forth, grabbed Gongsun Ce who was also entangled by the long silk, and slashed at him with a backhand sword, but the long silk did not know how to restrain it, but kept chopping continuously.The air fell down, right between the girl and the two men.

The three of them rushed forward without saying a word, the girl grabbed the other side of the long silk tightly with one hand, and stabbed him in the face with a dark blue dagger in the other. left arm.And the gloomy middle-aged man kept singing, his hands wrapped in gloves as thin as cicada's wings to cooperate with the big man.

Zhan Zhao protected Mr. Gongsun with his left arm, and avoided the front and rear attacks with an iron bridge, and then turned sideways with the force of his back, dancing a sword flower and fighting with the three of them at the same time.The Gongsun he was protecting was restrained by the coquettish girl, and the three of them had been together for a long time, practicing a set of joint attack techniques, and spotted his weakness, and recruited the gentleman who was in his arms to rush to attack. Stretched left and right, unable to get out at all.

Suddenly, the big man exposed a hole due to the injury on his right palm, Zhan Zhao jumped into the air, twisted his legs, broke his larynx, and at the same time turned around and pierced the girl's forehead with the giant sword in his hand, and was about to counterattack and attack Mr. Unexpectedly, when the internal force flowed through the old injury on the shoulder, it was stagnant, so he had to forcefully move sideways, and the internal force of the whole body was channeled on the back of the shoulder. throat.

He is not a pedantic and kind-hearted person. The situation like today is very dangerous. If you don't try your best, I am afraid that he and Mr. Gongsun will fall down. The shot was sharp, not like usual.

After doing this, Zhan Zhao almost fell to the ground heavily. Running all the way was already exhausting his internal energy, but the shock just now made his blood surge continuously in his chest, and finally he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. The blood soaked the red shirt on the chest.

There was a sudden thunder in the sky, and the heavy rain that had accumulated for a long time finally poured down.

"Zhan...Zhan Guard..." A weak voice came from his arms, he turned his head hastily to look, and was pleasantly surprised to find that Gongsun Ce had opened his eyes. He was still dazed at first, but instantly regained his usual wisdom and calmness.

"Mr. Gongsun, you... um"

In an instant, a ray of cold air raged from the middle palm, and the icy cold breath rushed into the eight meridians aggressively, causing him to cough up mouthfuls of blood continuously, Zhan Zhaoan screamed badly—this poison came really fast, suddenly In a short time, the endlessly circulating internal force spread to all parts of the body, from head to toe, as if he was suffering from Ling Chi, and felt a sharp pain.He had a splitting headache, as if a boulder was pressed against his chest, and every breath he took felt a shattering colic.

There was no trace of blood on the already pale lips, and Zhan Zhao tried his best to keep his mind clear: "Sir, hurry up, Mr. Bao will be here soon... There should be no one with strong martial arts here... Cough cough... Zhan Zhao Mr. Zhaowei cut off the heir."

"What are you kidding!" Gongsun Ce's usually calm and gentle face showed sullen anger, "You look like this, how can you stand up to a fight?" He said and helped him up, "Hurry up, let's go together..."

Before the words were finished, a group of strong men with black scarves and masks rushed down from the mountain and surrounded them, Zhan Zhao smiled wryly: "It seems that I can't go if I want to... Cough, don't worry, sir, Zhan Zhao can still hold on. "

While speaking, a group of killers had already attacked. Although they were not all-in-one enemies on weekdays, now they really made his already heavy injuries worse.Unexpectedly, a few more bloodstains were added to his body.

The heavy rain was pouring down, the body was drenched, his arms were sore and limp, his pubic region was in severe pain, his eyes also turned black, and his vision began to blur. A large expanse of more magnificent colors...

"Cat!" I caught a glimpse of a white shadow in the distance in a trance, and suddenly felt that the pressure was relieved.Is it... Yutang?Zhan Zhao tried his best to pull out a comforting smile, and muttered in his mouth: "Stinky mouse..."

The body fell limply, only to feel a warm embrace enveloping him.

Gongsun watched Zhan Zhao fall down helplessly, and wanted to go forward to help him, but saw a white shadow flashing past and catching him in his arms.

"Cat, cat..." Bai Yutang hugged Zhan Zhao tightly, looking at the man in his arms with black hair stuck to his pale face that seemed to be transparent, the corners of his mouth were brightly stained with blood, and his body, which was even thinner due to being soaked, unconsciously Trembling, can't help but heartbroken.With a swing of the sword, all the men in black who rushed up flew out gushing with blood.He didn't have time to care about how the people in Kaifeng Mansion who followed were fighting with the enemy. At this moment, all he could see was the thin figure that was so fragile that it seemed to be disintegrated at the touch of a finger.

Gongsun also rushed up, put his fingers on Zhan Zhao's wrist, took out a few pills from his body, fed Zhan Zhao to swallow, and said solemnly to Bai Yutang: "Bai Shaoxia, Zhan Hu is seriously injured, first use your internal strength to protect his heart veins." After returning home, the students will try to detoxify him."
