chivalrous cat and righteous mouse

Chapter 40

Ask more. "

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, nodded and smiled, "That's it, Zhan was rude, Bai Wuye is so romantic, and his girlfriends are all over the world, I forgot about that. Zhan has no other intentions, please don't worry about it, Brother Bai." To blame."

"Who said it was..." Bai Yutang stopped at the right time. Hearing Zhan Zhao's words felt a little harsh, but seeing the unease behind his smile made Bai Yutang a little inexplicably happy, "Grandpa Bai, I am indeed a fanatic and confidant all over the world." , how? You cat has an opinion!"

Zhan Zhao half lowered his eyes, "Brother Bai was joking, let alone a confidant, even if his sweetheart is everywhere, he has nothing to do with Zhan, so why would he have any objection?" Zhan Zhao wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, Then put away the handkerchief, picked up the giant que, "Zhan has finished eating, let's go to see the search situation in the forest first, it's okay for Brother Bai to go after eating."

After all, without waiting for the other party to respond, he had already gone out with the sword in hand.In front of the empty table left in Bai Yutang, staring blankly at a table of untouched dishes.

Zhan Zhao rushed out from the restaurant, and was blown awake by the evening wind. He didn't know why he suddenly went crazy, why he was so inexplicably awkward, but since he came out, it's not easy to turn back When I went back, I simply went to the forest to have a look, maybe the yamen servants found some new clues.

Thinking of this, he really walked back to the dense forest.

Bai Yutang felt like he was sitting on pins and needles in the restaurant. He could never imagine why Zhan Zhao left so unhappy. After thinking about it, he felt that the problem might be because of the "who is the girl", but for the sake of a girl, he followed him. Unhappy and not really like his Zhan Zhao style.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he simply took the Hanyue knife and paid the silver and refused to eat it.

Bai Yutang walked out of the restaurant, looked left and right but didn't see Zhan Zhao's shadow, thinking that this stinky cat ran pretty fast!Recalling that he said he was going to the dense forest, he would also go into the cave with Zhan Zhao, that cat would never be so stingy that he would ignore Master Bao's orders.He raised the corner of his mouth and raised his legs to walk towards the dense forest.

If Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang should have come out of the restaurant one after the other, why didn't Bai Yutang see Zhan Zhao when he came out?Let's go forward a little bit.

The sky was getting darker, there were not many people on the street, and it would be less and less. Zhan Zhao was walking towards the dense forest, when he suddenly heard the sound of someone stepping on tiles on the roof. He stepped up to the room, and the moment his feet touched the roof tiles, he saw a mysterious man wearing night clothes and covering his face walking towards him.

Zhan Zhao's sudden appearance caught the man in black by surprise. Seeing Zhan Zhao jumping onto the roof, he turned around and ran away without thinking.Zhan Zhao snorted, "Where are you going!" and followed closely behind.

Naturally, Bai Yutang couldn't see this scene, so when he wandered to the dense forest, he didn't see Zhan Zhao's figure.He stopped a few yamen servants who were staying behind to search, and asked for a long time, but the result he got was "I haven't seen Mr. Zhan coming." His heart suddenly became agitated—it was the cat playing hide-and-seek with him. ?Or something happened?

***

Zhan Zhao was chasing after the man in black. The lightness skill of the other party wasn't good, but it wasn't too bad. Although Zhan Zhao had swallows flying around him, he was not in a hurry to catch up with him. If the other party was really caught by him , a thread may be broken.

From the rear, he saw that the man in black was short in stature, and he thought he should be young. If he panicked after being chased, he might be able to reveal some clues.

He followed unhurriedly, just wanting to see where the other party was going. He saw that he didn't attack immediately, which meant that he knew his identity, so he would definitely seek help from others.But the more Zhan Zhao ran forward following the man in black, the deeper his frown became—isn't that direction Zhaojiazhuang!

While running, the man in black peeked at Zhan Zhao behind him from the corner of his eyes. When he was leading him into the courtyard of Zhaojiazhuang, he suddenly kicked the tree trunk with both feet, turned over with his strength, and jumped to stand still in the courtyard. Also stopped following him.The man in black turned around and faced Zhan Zhao, but he didn't run away either.

"Who are you?" Zhan Zhao looked around from the corner of his eye, but didn't sense any sign of an ambush.

The man in black squinted his eyes and smiled, stretched out his hand, and took off the black cloth covering his face, "It's me!"

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "It's you!" The corners of his mouth were bent, and he wrapped his hands around the sword, "What's your plan for bringing me here?"

The man in black smiled and spread his hands, "We need Bai Yutang's help to find something, how can he help us without you."

Zhan Zhao smiled, "Why do you think that I will obediently obey you and arrest you without a fight?"

The man in black stretched out a finger and shook it, "You don't have to rely on anything, you will definitely help us!"

With one hand behind his back, he drew a dagger from his waist, waved it and rushed towards Ben Zhanzhao.

Zhan Zhao subconsciously dodged backwards before he raised his arms and drew his sword. Suddenly, he felt a wind blowing from the back of his head. palm, and fell on his back.

Zhan Zhao was slightly taken aback, at this time two more people were attacking him from both sides, he jumped up, and kicked away the weapons in the hands of the comers with two "dang dang" sounds.Turning around again, I found that there were many more people in front of me, but all of them had dull expressions and dull eyes. Although they held weapons in their hands, they did not look like martial arts practitioners.

"Hero Zhan, be merciful, these are servants of the village, they have no foundation."

Zhan Zhao was wondering, when he suddenly heard the man in black laughing and speaking, his brows were furrowed, it was hard to draw his sword, and the strength of his hands subconsciously relaxed a bit.He tried his best to resist the attacks of those people, circling them back and forth, and suddenly remembered that Bai Yutang said that he had seen Gu worms at the bottom of the well, presumably these were the purpose of their raising Gu.

More and more people came to besiege him, and Zhan Zhao didn't dare to use his hands too hard. This kind of fighting style really made him a little overwhelmed.The man in black smacked him twice with a dagger intentionally or unintentionally in the crowd, Zhan Zhao was afraid of hurting innocent people, so he didn't dare to fight back.After dozens of strokes back and forth like this, Zhan Zhao's body was already covered with scars.

Seeing that he was almost done with the game, the man in black took advantage of his strength to jump out of the circle. At the same time, he reached into his sleeve pocket, took out a blower, and blew on Zhan Zhao.

When Zhan Zhao noticed it, he only felt a chill on the back of his neck, and then he lost consciousness when his eyes went dark.

revenge

Most of the dense forests on the outskirts of the city were searched, but Zhan Zhao's figure was still not seen, Bai Yutang felt a little uneasy.He stood in front of a huge tree, his two eyebrows were completely twisted together, and his pretty face looked a bit hideous at this moment.Bai Yutang was thinking in his heart, Zhan Zhao, Zhan Zhao, where did you go!You still have the task entrusted by Mr. Bao, have you forgotten!Smelly cat!dead cat!Shame on the cat!Do you think you'll be fine if you hide?Do you think Grandpa Bai really can't find you!If the master finds out where you are hiding, the master will definitely let you die!Just wait and see!

With a livid face, Bai Yutang flicked his sleeves and walked out from the bushes. Just as he was about to use his lightness kung fu to continue searching for Zhan Zhao's figure, a voice suddenly came from his ear.

"Bai Yutang!"

Bai Yutang followed the sound and saw a person standing on the tree branch behind him. This person he knew, it was the person he met in a teahouse.

"Bai Yutang! You forgot our agreement?" The man squatted down and looked down at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes, "You guys kidnapped him?"

The man chuckled, "No, it's Yang Di. You'd better give me what I want first, otherwise I can't guarantee that he will be unscathed."

"Then grandpa, I'll chop you right here." Bai Yutang just finished speaking, drew his knife out of its sheath, and slashed at the man.

Never thinking about the other party but not flustered, extremely calm, "Bai Yutang! If you want to collect Zhan Zhao's body, just kill me."

Bai Yutang pursed his lips and frowned, "No, with his kung fu, you can't move him." Even so, the speed of his hands has indeed slowed down.

"Nan Xia's kung fu is naturally not outstanding, but in the face of countless people who are powerless, even Zhan Zhao can only suffer from the knife." The man smiled proudly.

Bai Yutang's heart sank a bit, what the other party said was right, if it was an innocent commoner, Zhan Zhao would never hurt anyone no matter what.He pondered for a while, and said, "Leng Gongyu, what is your plan for getting those pieces!"

Leng Gongyu smiled, "Of course I have my use." He jumped down from the tree, "Don't worry, you just need to use your treasured knife to chop off some pieces, and then get the letter from him, and I will naturally show you what to do." Return you. How?"

Bai Yutang snorted coldly, thinking that for the sake of Zhan Zhao's safety, he had to compromise temporarily. Once he knew where Zhan Zhao was, he would definitely make them pay the price. "Lead the way." He turned his hands behind his back and spoke lightly, his voice extremely cold.

***

When Zhan Zhao woke up, he found himself in a dark stone room.He moved, feeling dizzy for a while, and couldn't exert any strength in his whole body.He pressed his fingers against his temples and rubbed them gently, hoping to relieve some dizziness.

The stone room was strangely quiet, Zhan Zhao felt around, but couldn't find his own sword, he knew that the other party was very cautious when they arrested him, not only fed him medicine, but also took away his saber , In this way, he was powerless to resist, and with a wry smile, he had no choice but to lie back again, close his eyes, and be at peace when he came.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden noise outside the door, but Zhan Zhao did not move.
