Yingtianfu is still very close to Xu County, if you ride a horse, you will arrive in an hour, and it is not far from Hongying Village, about half a day's journey.

The red cherry village is in front of him, and Zhanzhao still misses his father and mother a little, after all, he hasn't seen him for a long time.

Lord Bao wanted him to go back first, but Zhanzhao, as an official errand and official business, was not good to abandon Lord Bao and go, so he should put business first, and it would not be a day or two. Hong Jiuniang had already gone first, Zhanzhao originally wanted Tianzun and Yin Hou to go too, but Yin Hou was still having trouble with Lu Xue'er and refused to go, and Tianzun wanted to go to Xu County to "dream".

After breakfast, everyone said goodbye to Yi Xian and hurried to Xu County.

Yi Xian sent two officials who were familiar with the terrain to lead the way, and Lord Bao asked the two of them, only to know that both of them were natives of Xu County, so he asked them if Xu County has always been called "Dream County", and everyone who came here would dream, or had it become like this recently.

The two officials shook their heads and said, "I've never heard of it before, people can dream, but we haven't heard of anyone dreaming and going crazy." However, the past two years have indeed been a little different from the past, and more people have come, and the place has become a little chaotic. ”

"Don't you come home often?" Bao Yan asked.

"I often go back, I went back to see my mother three days ago, and I don't understand why so many people dream." The servant shook his head.

"Yes, my father and mother have always lived in Xu County, and they are all doing well." Another official also said, "It seems that people who are new to the city, or who have not been back for a while, are prone to dreaming, and those who come and go often or live there are fine." ”

Everyone looked at each other, which was indeed a little strange. If there was no ...... before That master had dreamed here twenty years ago. But there will be a ...... in the near future Is there really such an evil sect? Can dreams be controlled?

Zhao Pu asked Gongsun curiously, "Nerd, is there any medicine that can control people's dreams?" ”

Gongsun also scratched his head, "I don't say I haven't heard of it, I haven't thought about it before...... Dreaming is more difficult to control than hallucinations, and it is usually a matter of thinking about it day and night. ”

Bai Yutang and Zhanzhao rode horses and walked in front, listening to the discussion of everyone behind them.

Bai Yutang saw that Zhanzhao was listless, and was not sure if he hadn't slept well or was a little homesick, so he asked, "Cat?" ”

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao came back to his senses.

"What's wrong with you?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao blinked and shook his head, "No ......"

Bai Yutang asked, "What dream did you have this morning?" ”

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao a question, squinting his eyes and frowning...... In fact, he was thinking about this morning's dream just now, why did he have such a dream? And the dream is so real, and most importantly, Zhanzhao found a problem!

In that dream this morning, when he saw Bai Yutang's tail and ears, he wondered if he was dreaming? So he pinched his arm, and it hurt a lot.

And just now, Zhan Zhao accidentally found that there was a black blue on his arm, and he couldn't remember whether he bumped into it or touched it there for a while, and he didn't care too much. But riding a horse all the way, Zhanzhao suddenly remembered that when he was dreaming this morning, he seemed to be pinched in this position when he pinched himself, so he ...... Why do you pinch the place when you dream about it, it hurts and leaves traces?

Zhanzhao is still not sure, is it just a coincidence or is he worrying too much? But the question is, why is he the only one dreaming, and the others are not?

Zhanzhao was entangled all the way, but he couldn't say it, and he couldn't tell Bai Yutang that he dreamed that he had become a rat essence and had two big teeth!

……

Everyone chatted sentence by sentence, and soon came to Xu County.

As soon as I entered the county, I was startled, and I saw that there were so many people on the street that they looked like vegetable markets, and they were all from the rivers and lakes.

"Huh." Zhao Puyi raised his eyebrows, "This is similar to the feeling of the black county near Black Wind City." ”

"Isn't Heixian the most important post station for customs clearance between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, it is understandable that there are many people." Zhanzhao frowned and looked at the people from the rivers and lakes in Xu County, "How does this feel like a war is in chaos?" ”

At this time, Bai Yutang lightly touched Zhanzhao's arm and said in a low voice, "Xu County should be regarded as the closest county seat to Hongying Village. ”

Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned and frowned. He understood what Bai Yutang meant, there were many people who went to Hongying Village to find trouble recently, and those people would never sleep in the wilderness, so it was naturally the most convenient place to be entrenched.

"Red Cherry Valley and Red Cherry Village are so similar......" Bai Yutang was a little worried, "Don't get into trouble then." ”

Zhan Zhao frowned, and it happened that his grandfather's background had something to do with the Eagle King, if this was found out, maybe it would really lead to misunderstanding.

After everyone entered Xu County, they went their separate ways.

Master Bao and Master Pang took Bao Yan and Pang Yu with them, and these people had no combat effectiveness, so Yin Hou and Tianzun accompanied them, and Zhao Pu also asked a few shadow guards to follow to ensure safety.

Mr. Bao and his party went to the county government office in Xu County, preparing to sleep in the yamen for a while, and then find a few restaurants and inns near the yamen to sleep for a while.

Zhao Pu took Gongsun, Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi, as well as Ouyang and the shadow guards, and decided to try it outside the city.

Zhao Pu has a special identity, and Master Bao and Taishi are more worried about his safety. Of course, with Zhao Pu's ability, no one can touch him, but after all, there are many people in the city, so the official road outside the city is better. In addition, Zhao Pu's soldiers were more experienced in camping in the field, so everyone was ready to "sleep" in the open air for a while.

Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang, as well as Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang, are going to the city. These are all masters, and there are no people who don't know martial arts to take care of, so they are more free. The four of them divided up the work, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were in charge of the southern half of the city, while Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang were in charge of the northern half of the city, striving to sleep in all places.

Master Bao felt that the arrangement was ready, so he ordered to disband on the spot and find a place to sleep!

The words were divided into several ends, first of all, Mr. Bao and them, and they arrived at the county yamen smoothly.

The county order was not prepared, and when he heard that Lord Bao and Taishi were coming, he hurried out to greet him.

The county order of Xu County has long been changed, and now this one is quite young, in his thirties, also surnamed Xu, called Xu Yan.

When everyone entered the county office, Lord Bao briefly explained his intentions and asked about dreaming. Xu Yan also scratched his head when he heard it, "Don't hide it, my Xu County has really been ...... recently." Let's not talk about dreaming or not dreaming, I can't resist so many people from the rivers and lakes all of a sudden! There are only a few soldiers in this yamen, and those Jianghu people are very good at one or two kung fu, and the lower officials are literati...... Ay. ”

Master Bao could also understand Xu Yan's difficulties, comforted him a few words, and mentioned dreaming.

Xu Yan said that he has always lived in Xu County, and he has never dreamed of being promoted to become rich, and he dreamed of those Jianghu people fighting, but this is also a common thing, and he worries during the day so he occasionally dreams at night...... But as for the title of "Dream County", although he knew it, he didn't find anything special about Xu County.

Xu Yan arranged three guest rooms for Mr. Bao, so that he could sleep casually, there were not many people in Xu Yan's yamen, and it was quite quiet when there was no case, Mr. Bao felt that the environment was good!

So, everyone went back to their rooms.

Master Bao and Taishi are in a room, Bao Yan and Pang Yu are in a room, Yin Hou and Tianzun are in a room, and the shadow guards are looking for a roof to lie down, taking turns to guard and sleep for a while.

After about half a pillar of incense, Pang Taishi began to feel a little sleepy, and was about to snore in a daze, when he felt that someone had slapped him twice on his belly.

Taishi opened his eyes and saw Bao Zheng's big black face in front of him.

"Wow......" Taishi was startled, and he woke up from drowsiness, glaring at Bao Zheng, "Old Bao, why did you delay things!" I'm just a little sleepy! ”

Bao Zhenghu looked at Taishi suspiciously, "I took a nap just now, and I didn't dream!" ”

The master looked at the sky and took a nap......

"Oh, be patient, people don't dream until they're asleep!" Taishi was speechless.

Master Bao frowned, shook his head, and went to lie down on the bed again.

As soon as he lay down, he heard the Taishi ask with great interest, "I said sunspots...... You've grown so big, have you ever dreamed? ”

Master Bao was stunned and touched his chin, "I should have done it." “

"It should be ......," the corner of Taishi's mouth twitched.

"But very little!" Master Bao thought seriously, "It seems that there are really very few!" ”

"And what is the dream that memorizes you the most?" Taishi asked.

Master Bao thought about it again, "Hmm...... That's right! When I was investigating the case of changing the tanuki for the prince, I dreamed that the dead Yuzhu told me the whereabouts of the mother. ”

Pang Yu looked at the sky, "What kind of dream is this?" Are there any nightmares? ”

"Hmm...... Before the Yellow River flooded, I dreamed that it rained for a month, and Kaifeng Mansion was flooded! Master Bao continued, "Does this count?" ”

Taishi looked at him, "Hmm...... Where is the dream of getting rich? Have you ever done it? ”

Master Bao shook his head, "No." ”

"What about a daughter-in-law?" Taishi then asked.

Master Bao continued to shake his head.

"Then ......," Taishi smiled evilly, "Have you ever done a spring dream?" ”

Master Bao stared at him for a while and asked, "Dreams are still divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter?" ”

Taishi looked at the sky, "Dead sunspot, you pretend to be stupid for me......"

The two were discussing, and suddenly heard a scream coming from the room next door to Bao Yan and Pang Yu.

The two glanced at each other and quickly got up and went out.

rushed to the next room and pushed the door open, and saw Bao Yan standing next to Pang Yu's bed with a pillow and looking at him, while Pang Yu was sitting on the bed wiping sweat.

I heard Bao Yan ask him curiously, "What did you dream about?" ”

Taishi also leaned over to look, "Is it so fast?" Dreaming not long after falling asleep? ”

Master Bao nodded and praised, "Little Hou Ye is so efficient!" ”

Pang Yu looked at everyone speechlessly.

"What did you dream about?" Bao Yan asked.

Pang Yu said, "It's evil, I dreamed of a book that suddenly opened its mouth to bite me!" ”

Everyone blinked, "The book bites you?!" ”

Bao Yan was curious, "What book?" ”

Everyone looked at him—and the focus was different.

Pang Yu scratched his head, "I don't remember." ”

Master Bao touched his chin, "Did you dream of evil feathers?" ”

Pang Yu shook his head.

Mr. Bao pointed to the bed, "It's not yet time, lie down!" Continue! ”

Pang Yu had no choice but to lie back, Bao Yan also climbed back to his bed with a pillow, and everyone continued.

When Master Bao and Taishi went out, they saw Yin Hou and Tianzun standing helplessly at the door of the next room.

"Has the second elder gained anything?" Taishi asked curiously.

Tianzun and Yin Hou looked at the sky helplessly—probably because they were too old to sleep.

……

On the other side, let's talk about the outside of the city.

The shadow guards found a ruined temple on a hillside next to the official road.

So everyone went in, and the shadow guards set up a simple tent, covered it with the same bedding used during the march, and everyone went in to sleep.

Zhao Pu lay down and yawned, he was really sleepy, so he fell asleep after a while. Gongsun was a little entangled in what could make people dream, so he couldn't sleep for a while, but the two heartless children, Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi, soon fell asleep.

Especially the little fourth son, he was already easy to sleep, and he pillowed Zhao Pu's arm, and he also began to snore.

As Gongsun lay down, he heard the sound of even breathing around him, and some snoring, so he looked at the top of the tent in a daze.

He was distracted, and suddenly, he saw Zhao Pu beside him open his eyes and look at him.

Gongsun looked at him, "Aren't you asleep?" ”

Zhao Pu smiled and stared at him.

Gongsun looked at him puzzled, "What are you doing?" ”

Zhao Pu suddenly stretched out his hand and picked his chin, "Nerd, are you cold?" ”

Gongsun was a spirit, and his heart said What happened to Zhao Pu?

Gongsun Hu looked at him suspiciously, but before he could understand what was going on, suddenly, Zhao Pu pinched his chin and leaned up to kiss him.

"Ahh Gongsun struggled for a long time and pinched Zhao Pu, "I'm going to kill you, there are still children here!" ”

"Gongsun!"

"Daddy!"

After that, Gongsun suddenly felt a violent shaking, and the sky was spinning. When he understood, he saw that he was pounced on Zhao Pu, pinching his arm hard, Zhao Pu was lying on the blanket and looked at him in horror, while Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang were already awake, and the two children were holding Gongsun's hand and shaking him.

Outside the tent, Ouyang touched his chin and looked at it with interest, and many shadow guards around him also looked around.

Gongsun was shocked and puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

He remembered that Zhao Pu suddenly made a move, so he taught him a lesson.

"Daddy." The little fourth son leaned over to look at Gongsun and touched his forehead by the way, "What are you dreaming about?" ”

"Me?" Gongsun pointed to himself puzzled, "I'm dreaming? ”

"yes!" Xiao Sizi nodded, "You just suddenly pounced on Jiujiu and told you that you wouldn't wake up." ”

Gongsun was dumbfounded and pointed at himself, "I'm dreaming? ”

Zhao Puke sat up, lifted his sleeves and showed Gongsun the blue and purple on his arm, "Wow...... Nerd, you still have a lot of strength when you dream! Strangled me! ”

Gongsun was at a loss, the feeling just now was not a dream at all!

"I said, what do you think about every day?" Zhao Pu rubbed his arm, "Do you want to be murderous to me in your dreams?" ”

Gongsun frowned, sat in place and thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said to the shadow guards, "You guys are looking separately, is there a red flower around here?" It looks a bit like a bellflower, but it is much smaller than a bellflower, and it is double-petaled.

The shadow guards immediately scattered to find it.

Zhao Pu looked at Gongsun puzzled, "What does it have to do with flowers?" ”

Gongsun shook his head, "I'm not sure yet." ”

"Oh......" Zhao Pu nodded, and asked curiously, "What did you dream of?" ”

"Uh......" Gongsun blushed and hugged the little fourth son, "No...... Nope! “

"Why are you hitting me when I didn't dream of anything?" Zhao Pu rubbed his arm and looked at Gongsun dissatisfied.

Gongsun twisted his face.

Zhao Pu looked at Gongsun's ears so red that his whole neck was red, and he was even more curious - what's wrong?

……

At this time, in the guest room of an inn in Beicheng, Lin Yehuo, who had slept for about half an hour, suddenly heard movement, opened his eyes, and saw that Zou Liang had climbed into his bed from the bed opposite.

Lin Yehuo squinted at Zou Liang, "Dumb, what are you doing?" ”

Zou Liang slowly stretched out his hand and pressed Lin Yehuo's mouth......

……

In the south of the city, in the guest room of an inn.

Bai Yutang didn't care about sleeping, so he asked the guy to buy a bath bucket and fill it with hot water, and he took a bath first.

When the fifth master came out of the bath, he saw that Zhanzhao, who was supposed to be sleeping, was awake. At this time, Zhan Zhao was leaning on the bed, grasping the window railing with both hands, and looked at Bai Yutang with wide eyes.

Bai Yutang felt that Zhan Zhao looked a bit like a cat who had just woken up, quite well-behaved, and he had never seen him like this.

"Still not sleeping?" Bai Yutang came over and asked him, "Can't sleep?" ”

Zhan Zhao didn't speak, but stared at Bai Yutang with good eyes.

Bai Yutang smiled, went to the table to get a glass of water, took a sip, and suddenly noticed that on the low cabinet next to Zhanzhao's bed, there was a flower pot, and a few red bellflower flowers were planted in the pot, which were lush and bright. Bai Yutang was a little puzzled, is this season the season for bellflower flowers? Also, how does this flower feel so much smaller? And it's a double flap.

Bai Yutang was studying the flower when he saw Zhan Zhao suddenly reach out and scratch his head gently.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao's actions, and inexplicably this action in his mind coincided with the usual action of the big tiger and the little tiger washing their faces with their paws.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao uncertainly, and saw that Zhan Zhao's eyes were still wide open, looking at him......

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, Zhanzhao seemed to have something wrong.

"Cats?" Bai Yutang called him.

Zhan Zhao didn't move, just looked at him.

Bai Yutang put down the teacup and walked to the bed, "Cat." ”

Zhan Zhao still didn't move, staring at him closely.

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand, wanting to touch him, "Cat ......"

It's just that his fingers haven't touched Zhan Zhao yet, and suddenly, he saw Zhan Zhao raise his hand and claw.

"Hiss......" Bai Yutang withdrew his hand, and saw that there were two thin paw prints on the back of his hand.

The corners of Bai Yutang's mouth twitched - when he usually claws cats, if he didn't pay attention, he would be clawed by cats, of course...... That's a real cat.

He was puzzled, when he saw Zhanzhao suddenly squint his eyes and bared his teeth at him, "Meow! ”

Bai Yutang was stunned and stared at Zhanzhao, "Meow? ”

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth again, "Meow! ”

Bai Yutang thought about it, stretched out his hand, picked up the giant que that Zhan Zhao placed on the table, handed the sword spike to Zhan Zhao's eyes, and shook it.

I saw Zhanzhao stretching out his hand, like a cat, teasing the sword spike, and "meow" while grabbing it.

Bai Yutang gasped, looked at Zhanzhao who grabbed the sword spike and didn't let go, and felt a little dizzy!

The fifth master only knew what was going on! Either you're crazy, or you're going to have a problem with Zhanzhao!

……
