Tide beat empty city

Chapter 5 Jiang Zhiyong

The emperor finally made a decree not to let Zhan Zhao be idle, and sent him to the chief supervisor of the Emperor's Mausoleum to supervise the construction.Before leaving, Zhao Zhen asked: "The craftsmen in the mausoleum are scarce, who do you want to bring with you?"I pre-approve what I will play.

Zhan Zhao saw that he was not polite, ordered several prisons in central Beijing, and those who chose lesser crimes were used as labor labor.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen laughed for a while, and ordered him to go back to the mansion to prepare, and arrange the departure the next morning.

The mighty people and vehicles arrived, seeing the open mountains and plains, Zhan Zhao felt happy.The imperial mausoleum is seventy miles away from Kaifeng City, but he has never been there.Kanyu master said that the mountain has a dragon spirit, he thought to himself that ordinary people can't see it, they only feel that the sky is high and the earth is far away, which makes people feel refreshed.After settling down at the lodgings, we have finished dispatching teams with the mausoleum guards. At noon, we ride horses to familiarize ourselves with the terrain.

Zhan Zhao likes to be quiet, he walks a little farther away and faces the secluded forest and deep ravine alone, thinking to himself that the Holy Majesty has allowed me to rest and take a bath.Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, so I don't know why, and it doesn't matter if I enjoy it.But I deliberately didn't think deeply about whether the heavy haze of the day before yesterday was mostly due to Zhao Zhen's "pre-approval".

When you can catch it, but there is a chance, and you don't want to deny that hope is still there.Even if it's just an illusion, I can only secretly fly about it and release it in every possible way.

Letting go of the rein, Zhan Zhao walked casually.Mind avoiding along the way, what you are grateful for and what you value.Is it the choice that was determined at the beginning, or the person who finally put it in my heart because of the choice.

Seeing the gurgling stream, clear and lovely, he let the horse drink.Watching from the side, I gradually felt thirsty, so I leaned over to wash my face with water.The movement and movement startled the fish catchers downstream, who shouted through two clumps of miscellaneous trees: "Go farther away! You don't wink, how can the fish drink if the water is dirty?"

Zhan Zhao was a little taken aback, did the fish in the stream want to drink water?Whoever said such domineering words, he didn't know whether to argue for a while.

Seeing that he didn't leave, the man simply came over to catch up, and as soon as they met each other, he turned around and ran away.

Zhan Zhao had already seen it, and shouted, "Bai Tang! Where are you running?"

The young man didn't listen, but he couldn't move faster than Zhan Zhao, so he was brought back in one fell swoop.He turned his face away, trying in vain not to be seen.

Zhan Zhao let out a long sigh in his heart.Ask him: "Your family... fifth master, is here too?"

Bai Yutang jumped up and scolded for an unknown amount of time, but it was still not enough: "Zhan Xiaomao, I dare to let my pigeons fly. If you hide, hide in the emperor's tomb, why don't you let me catch you?"

Zhan Zhao took it for granted, and said with a smile, "Neglect Brother Bai. It's really Zhan who can't come out. I haven't seen Brother Bai for many days, and I'm bored too."

Bai Yutang lowered his head for a while and said seriously, "So, seeing Master today, the cat won't be bored anymore?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and nodded.

Bai Yutang jumped up again: "Nonsense! I want to see you, but my pigeons have flown hundreds of times, why didn't I see you answer half a word?"

Zhan Zhao secretly criticized, how can there be hundreds of times so exaggerated.But he said: "Mr. Gongsun always opens and reads the correspondence between Kaifeng Mansion. I think Brother Bai's drunken book is too chic. He can't understand it. I don't know who it is written for..."

The obvious nonsense, Bai Yutang stopped jumping when he heard it.Suddenly smiled: "It's all read by sour scholars. What about the love story letter that Ding San girl gave you? What expression did Gongsun Ce see?"

Zhan Zhao glanced at him, but said nothing.

Bai Yutang snatched the teacup in his hand, leaned closer and smiled lowly: "How many tricks can stupid cats have? Haven't you gotten tired of playing with them? You have a mountain of official duties in the capital, and you come here to dig graves? It's time to talk about it." I made a joke. If you dare to leave me alone, you can leave it alone and try it..." After speaking, she was already gnashing her teeth.

Zhan Zhao shook his head and smiled wryly: "The Emperor ordered me to dig a grave. What will I do?"

Bai Yutang shook his clothes and sat back, sneering: "When did Master Zhan learn to ask, 'What will happen to me'? Shouldn't it be, Kaifeng Mansion, Lord Bao, what will happen to me? I want to ask today, so you throw your hands away Once he leaves, what will happen to Bai Tang? The people of Qingtian will take their sides, which one is more important to Mr. Zhan."

Zhan Zhao was startled.Bai Yutang's face was gloomy but also shockingly beautiful.Which is more important, this situation, this question, this approach is getting closer and closer.He knew he was annoyed; Bai Yutang didn't know why he always annoyed him.

Zhan Zhao felt that he was thinking too much.But in fact, if he is not confident, he sees it more clearly than Bai Yutang.But it's not because I think less.

After walking this way, we have read each other all the way, but we are still only willing to be loyal to our respective directions and hearts.

Sighing lightly, he said honestly: "The officials are not allowed to intervene in Bai Tang's affairs. Brother Bai has eyes and ears in Beijing, haven't you heard of it? There are some things that the subjects are powerless to do after all. Brother Bai..."

Bai Yutang interrupted him and said, "It's such a big deal, why don't you just let it go for no apparent reason?"

Zhan Zhao looked straight at him calmly, "Brother Bai, what other ideas do you have?"

A light flashed in front of his eyes, and Bai Yutang smiled softly.This cat, the more nervous it is, the more serious it is.It turned out that I was afraid that my master would have "other ideas", so I came up with a mouse-and-cat trick, which made my master trampled so hard that I couldn't get out of my body.Bai Yutang's anger was half gone, and he was still half choked up, and he didn't intend to hold back: "You'll ask me for advice? It doesn't matter if it's a big deal or not, if it's over or not, it's easy to make it clear, why are you hiding around? The Lord is the plague god Is it?"

Zhan Zhao suddenly narrowed his eyes, and when he looked at it suddenly, it really looked like a cat was about to go into a fit.Bai Yutang suddenly forgot what he was talking about, and just wanted to paint his beard.

It's a pity that the look disappeared in a flash.The gentle cat said, "I didn't hide. When I want to hide, who can find it?"

Bai Yutang was not someone who spoke insincerely, even though he was angry when he heard it, he couldn't categorically deny it.I have to think about it, forget it, don't be too complacent.The cat was already vigilant. To put it bluntly, he was overestimated by the master, and he didn't know what to do under the embarrassment.He didn't think it through, but Zhan Zhao said lightly first: "Now let's make it clear, so we can break up?"

Bai Yutang's body trembled, and two clusters of flames suddenly lit up in his eyes, so fierce that they could only burn into ashes in a blink of an eye.My heart was also ashamed, and I couldn't help sighing: "Zhan Zhao, what are you going to do?"

Before he could reply, he twitched the corners of his lips, and covered his eyes with his hands: "Do you know how cold your words are. Even if you are doing it for my own good, if this continues, I will be frozen to death by you. "

He couldn't help laughing, but his eyes gradually became hot: "I don't believe it myself, I was actually afraid just now. I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to take it anymore, and I will really leave you, stupid cat, and never come back."

Zhan Zhao suddenly lowered his eyes, blocking all emotions.

Bai Yutang looked at him carefully, and asked softly uncertainly, "Is the cat scared?" Suddenly he didn't dare to ask for the answer, and laughed to himself: "I'm really crazy." Walk away without turning back.

Zhan Zhao didn't move, his fingers were tightly clutched in his palm.There are only four words left in my mind over and over - never come back.

In the evening, Bai Yutang pushed Zhan Zhao's door as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile, "It's getting dark, I'm leaving tomorrow. Do you have any objections, Master Mao?"

Zhan Zhao opened the food boxes one by one, looked up and smiled: "Brother Bai, please sit down, it's time to eat."

Bai Yutang sat across from him, looking at the two sets of cups and two pairs of chopsticks on the table - so it turns out that you will wait too.He smiled and asked: "If Master doesn't come back, will the cat starve himself to death?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and shook his head: "No."

"Then don't worry." Bai Yutang held up his chopsticks and chewed, grabbed Zhan Zhao's left palm with the other hand and turned it over to look: "The cat scratched the wrong place and hurt itself? You idiot, you idiot..." It was extremely rare for Bai Yutang to suddenly be unable to continue cursing.

Zhan Zhao gently withdrew his hand, said "It's okay", and asked, "Brother Bai, how do you arrange Bai Tang?"

Bai Yutang put down his chopsticks, turned his body sideways and smiled: "What does the cat mean?"

Zhan Zhao's eyes were deep and quiet, without revealing any clues: "Zhan said that Brother Wang wants to give up his love."

"Cutting off love, he didn't sell it to the master." Bai Yutang turned his head and called, "Bai Tang come in."

After a moment of hesitation outside the door, the young man stepped inside and stood by the door with his head bowed without saying a word.

Bai Yutang beckoned and ordered him to come closer: "You've been listening for a long time. I'm going home tomorrow. It's not that I don't want to take you with me. I'm afraid you won't be used to living in a new place. Mr. Zhan is a Beijing official, so he has special advantages. You Would you like to be here with him?"

Bai Tang still looked at the ground, and whispered for a while, "Listen to Master's orders."

Bai Yutang curled his lips secretly.One big and one small two boring gourds, treacherous to one place.Nodded and said: "Okay, listen to me, don't regret it in the future. Go and feed my horse, and pack your luggage. Serve this last time."

As soon as Bai Tang left, Bai Yutang stood up and lay down on the couch, saying in his mouth: "It's like driving away a disaster, and you let me into the house with a big swagger. Are you afraid that people will turn around and bite you when they see it?"

Zhan Zhao calmly put away the bowls and chopsticks, asked the soldiers to come in and take them out, shook his head and said with a smile: "If Zhan is afraid of biting, how dare he provoke Brother Bai these years, he is always by his side."

Bai Yutang sat up suddenly, and cursed: "Fart! Who is with you all the time?" Suddenly his eyes rolled, and he smiled softly: "Cat, come here, I have something private."

Zhan Zhao felt weird, walked away from the window and laughed: "Brother Bai, please tell me, Zhan can hear you."

Bai Yutang glared: "I want you to hear the private message from Mohua village all over the world?" After speaking, he was lucky enough to open his mouth to shout.

Zhan Zhaoteng jumped up, and hastily stretched out his hand to block it.Unexpectedly, Bai Yutang suddenly fitted his body and rushed over, clamped his shoulders and took a hard bite, and refused to let go after biting.

Zhan Zhao's internal organs trembled from the pain, he gritted his teeth and endured it.He also thought that Bai Yutang's empty door was wide open and didn't know how to defend, for fear of hurting him, he didn't dare to use all his strength to push.The hands are only pressing against each other, but they also want to protect; that posture, like a long-buried heart, is ambiguous and difficult to understand.

When Bai Yutang thought about it, it was just a prank.When the teeth collided with his body, suddenly there was severe pain from the bone marrow, as if he was also bitten by something, unable to struggle.The eyes are gradually getting dark, like floating in the vast sea, the fate of ups and downs day and night, just remember to hug your eyes, this flesh and blood evidence.The pain is extremely pleasant, and I will not let it go until I die.

Knocking on the hard bone, the side of the tooth was so shaken that it was about to fall off, Bai Yutang let go and raised his head, panting and asked: "Are you afraid, are you afraid of biting?"

Zhan Zhao's breath stirred, and he took a while to breathe, and said in a low voice: "Brother Bai wants me to die, so he doesn't need to waste his sharp teeth..." He tilted his head and coughed, the more he coughed, the more he coughed, and he covered his mouth I couldn't lift my waist for a long time.

Bai Yutang was stunned for a while before he remembered to pour water.Turning around, she put a hand on his shoulder, and handed the cup to her mouth.Seeing Zhan Zhao trembling in pain, he hastily withdrew his hand, but it was blood from the palm of his hand, stained from the dark blue cloth, which was not very obvious under the light.Thinking of what he was most afraid of seeing him get hurt in his life, but today he did it because of it, what kind of injustice was behind the scenes.Suffering in my heart for a while, I was so uncomfortable that I wished I could die immediately.

Zhan Zhao gradually stopped coughing, reached out his hand to take down the celadon cup that Bai Yutang was holding unsteadily, and drank it in one gulp.Putting down the cup and wanting to say a few words of comfort, Bai Yutang suddenly grabbed the palm of his hand, staring at the spots of blood on it, his voice changed: "Cat...?"

Zhan Zhao raised his hand to look around, and said with a smile, "I'm on fire." He patted Bai Yutang's arm and said, "Although Zhan is not good, he won't be killed by a mouse. Brother Bai, why should you be so pale?"

Bai Yutang didn't reply, and lowered his head to untie his belt.Zhan Zhao's instinctive body tensed, and then slowly relaxed.He stripped off the outer shirt and inner garment one by one, applied the ointment three times evenly, and took a clean cotton cloth to wrap it carefully.

The room temperature is indifferent and quiet, which makes people unable to bear to break it for a while.Bai Yutang's soft and long fingers flicked back and forth, the skin was cool, and the little chestnuts exploded one by one, small and cheerful.

I can't wait for it to change at this time.But Bai Yutang had already bandaged it up, pulled his clothes back to his shoulders, and asked solemnly: "You cough up blood, are you really just getting angry?"

Zhan Zhao felt that it was a sight to behold.Asked back: "Brother Bai, could it be that he wants to hear from me that Zhan has a certain illness and will die soon?"

Bai Yutang wanted to beat him up again, but held back: "Tell the truth. Don't ask the Lord to force a confession."

Zhan Zhao turned over and smiled sincerely at him: "To be honest, I don't know either. Why don't Master Wu take the pulse of the little one to see if he can be saved?"

Two eyes, the same clear light flickering.Bai Yutang turned his head to think for a while, and said sincerely, "I'm not good at pulse control. What I'm good at is observation and therapy. So..." As he spoke, he took off his boots, pulled the unresponsive cat over to sleep next to him, took the quilt Yi Bao smiled triumphantly: "My master is not leaving."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help but let out a cry.

Bai Yutang glared again: "Ah again, Master won't leave tomorrow, nor will he leave the day after tomorrow."

Zhan Zhao immediately shut up, relieved.It turns out that 'Grandpa' just won't leave tonight.

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes and saw Bai Yutang tumbling again, rolling into the bed.Ask softly: "Brother Bai, can't you sleep?"

Bai Yutang shrank back vigorously, but did not answer.His back was heaving and his heart was restless.

Zhan Zhao hesitated, stretched out his hand to caress him, and asked, "Is this better?"

The cat seemed to be coaxing a baby.Bai Yutang felt that he should push him away, but he was reluctant.Turning back, he hugged the cat's waist and held it tightly in his arms without letting go.

This time, the cat and the mouse are in harmony with each other.Bai Yutang leaned against his ear and chuckled, "Mao'er, you're so thin. It would be nice to be softer."

Zhan Zhao closed his eyes and ignored him, while his subordinates patted on him leisurely.

Bai Yutang simply buried his face in his neck and grinned: "Mao'er is not married, but he can hold a child. I can't see that Ding San'er is so blessed."

Zhan Zhao paused, then snapped his two devil claws away and threw them back, lay flat and said calmly, "Where's all this nonsense. Go to sleep."

Bai Yutang made a mistake in a flash, and his shoulders were so painful.Can't help but burst out and said: "Eat enough to support you? Marrying a wife and having children is common to all people in the world, so you can't say what is partial to you?"

Zhan Zhao closed his eyes, his breath was as cold as ice.

Bai Yutang turned over angrily, and all the quilts were pulled over.I hate that this night is not a cold winter, so that the unlucky cat will not be frozen to death.And Xiangye said several times about the trust letter of Mohua Village, and the dead cat didn't ask a single question. How lucky is Ding San'er to meet such a cold-faced and cold-hearted person.How can I let her be bullied by a girl who I look up to like a younger sister.Stinky cat, just wait for me...

Bai Yutang became angry, but temporarily suppressed other desires.It was a blessing in disguise, and it didn't take long for Pili to fall into reality.

When he woke up the next day, Zhan Zhao was no longer on the bed.The refreshments were ready on the table, and Bai Yutang had just put on his boots and stood up when the soldiers knocked on the door and brought in face towels and hot water one after another.Bai Yutang sent him away with a sentence of 'no need to serve', wondering in his heart: Bai Tang, the tea is cold while his grandfather is still here.

After muttering about eating and drinking, I went out to have a look, but I saw the beautiful mountains and rivers, and I was galloping, and the people and horses seemed to live in the painting.Bai Yutang had to admit: that cat is also very pretty sometimes.

Zhan Zhao ran to get off his horse, sweating slightly on his forehead, which shone faintly golden in the morning light.The golden smile was extraordinarily bright: "Brother Bai, it's still early. Bai Tang has not returned from drinking the horse, so you should take a rest first."

Bai Yutang rolled his eyes in secret, and said, "He won't go with Master, what are you waiting for him?" Regardless of the wind and dew in his clothes, he sat down on the grass, took two deep breaths and sighed: "The little emperor really knows how to pick places. , I will never forget to occupy the spiritual energy of the world. I said, the cat----"

Zhan Zhao came over and sat down side by side, raised his eyebrows and waited for him to continue.

Bai Yutang shook his head and smiled.Even if there is this time and place, it is not him and him to be a god and roam the world.

Zhan Zhao didn't ask any further questions.Smiling for a long time: "Brother Bai, take care all the way."

Bai Yutang tilted his head to look at him: "Mao'er is saying this because he is reluctant, or is he chasing a guest?"

With the breeze blowing his clothes, he had a faint smile on his face.Zhan Zhao was suddenly inexplicably impulsive, hugged him and let go, and said softly, "I said 'take care', don't mice understand?"

Bai Yutang was unmoved.He spoke again, with vague melancholy in his eyes: "Sometimes, there is no difference between knowing and not understanding."

After speaking, he got up and jumped on the horse, stretched out his hand to pull Zhan Zhao, and sat behind him.Laughing loudly: "I can't ask for tomorrow's day. Cat, come with me today, shake your clothes on thousands of hills, wash your feet for thousands of miles." After saying that, he lifted the reins of the horse and went away like the wind.
