That night, Bai Yutang left Xuanyuan Po's palace with Xiao Wu, he originally wanted to go to Zhanzhao, but it was not convenient to take Xiao Wu with him, and secondly, he ...... He already sensed that someone was following him, and there were quite a few of them.

Bai Yutang understood that the rest of his life should be under the supervision of many people, and in order to be safe, he decided to be a little patient and separate from Zhanzhao for one night.

casually found an inn, and Bai Yutang took Xiao Wu to spend the night alone.

On the other hand, Zhanzhao also returned to the inn and lay on the bed to sleep without saying a word.

Marquis Yin and Tianzun lived next door to Zhanzhao.

Yin Hou frowned, lying on the bed and sighing.

Tianzun was probably hungry, holding a cup and eating tea and snacks, and when he saw Yin Hou sighing, he asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Yin Hou shook his head, "You didn't notice it just now, you can't see the angle between you and Yutang, but you can see it from the angle of me and my cat." ”

Tianzun was a little puzzled, "What do you see?" ”

"That female assassin, before holding Yutang with a knife, Xun Yuebai glanced at her."

Tianzun was stunned and frowned, "Could it be that the female assassin listened to Xun Yuebai?" ”

"It's a bit quick, but it feels like it should be." Yin Hou shook his head.

"Oh......" Tianzun finally understood, "No wonder Zhao is so angry." ”

"That Xun Yuebai's identity is suspicious, you have to keep an eye on him in the future." Yin Hou frowned, "Tomorrow's competition, I don't know if he will use any moths against my cat." ”

Tianzun shook his head while eating a snack, "Oh, you don't have to worry about this, Zhaozhao is not a fuel-efficient lamp like my family Yutang, and I will have a good show to watch tomorrow." ”

After saying that, he patted the powdered sugar on his hands and ran to take a shower.

Yin Hou turned over and frowned - Bai Yutang is different from Zhanzhao, and Zhanzhao is quite serious for him. In these years, there are indeed not many things that can make his cat boy serious.

At this time, in the next room, Zhanzhao couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Zhan Zhao saw very clearly just now that when the dish of vinegar was served, Xun Yuebai's expression changed, which seemed to remind them that the vinegar was poisonous. And before the palace maid threatened Bai Yutang, she also received a look from him...... There is □ a good chance that the palace maid is working for him. To be honest, the situation was critical at that time, and the palace maid either continued to assassinate Xuanyuan Ji, or she hurriedly thought of running, and it was the most redundant way to use a knife to blackmail Bai Yutang. Not to mention that Bai Yutang's kung fu is very good, she will not be coerced at all, there are so many masters present, anyone can easily take her life...... Why did she do that?

In addition, Zhan Zhao also noticed that when the palace maid lay down, there was a kind of serenity in her expression.

Serenity, indeed...... So her death was simply a calculated sacrifice.

But when it comes to the meaning of this kind of sacrifice, Zhan Zhao feels a little ridiculous, which makes Xuanyuan Ji have a better impression of Xun Yuebai? A reward? Or let Bai Yutang remember his "life-saving grace"?

No matter who Xun Yuebai is, but at least he is not a good person, Zhanzhao is absolutely sure of this. In addition, he should not know about his relationship with Bai Yutang...... In front of this person, you must be as careful as you are in front of Xuanyuan.

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand, touched his waist, and took out a small gourd, opening it...... A golden shell flew out and circled in front of Zhanzhao's eyes, making a "buzzing" sound.

Zhanzhao's fingers stretched out slightly, and the golden shell fell on his fingers, resting quietly.

Zhanzhao took a deep breath and tried to relax as much as possible, rest early, and cope with tomorrow's competition.

At this time, Bai Yutang pillowed his hands behind his head, leaning on the big bed of the inn, under the bed was Xiao Wu, and flying in front of him was the golden shell named "Gugu".

The drum was circling around in front of Bai Yutang's eyes, and Bai Yutang stared at it in a daze, not to mention, without Zhanzhao by his side, it was not ordinary boredom. Bai Yutang suddenly began to think back to how he lived when he didn't know Zhanzhao, always running around alone, and he didn't even know how lonely he was.

……

In the Zhao Pu barracks.

Zhao Pu held his chin and looked at the little fourth son who was sleeping sweetly on his lap.

At this time, Zou Liang came in and whispered to Zhao Pu, "Lord Wang, I went to investigate, and there is no such person as Xun Yuebai." ”

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows, "Sure?" ”

"I sent someone to Beihai to investigate according to the information he gave, and the place was inaccessible, there were no people, and no one knew about Xun Yuebai." Zou Liang frowned, "Lord Wang, this person's identity is unknown, in addition, I just received news that tomorrow's martial arts test, the competition is against Zhanzhao." ”

Zhao Pu frowned, "He is a martial artist who participated in the martial arts test, ah......." ”

"Who's competing?"

At this time, the grandson walked in.

As soon as Zhao Pu said the general thing, Gongsun was a little anxious, "Then isn't Xun Yuebai going to fight Zhanzhao to the death?" ”

Zhao Pu waved his hand, "Don't worry, Zhanzhao is not so easy to settle, I have some doubts about Xun Yuebai's true intention, is it really to kill Xuanyuan Ji?" ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Pu was pondering, and he felt the little fourth son in his arms move, hugged his arm and rubbed it, and muttered, "The cat is ...... for nothing"

Gongsun gently touched the cheek of the little fourth son - the little fourth son is also thinking about showing Showa and Bai Yutang,

I was about to go back to the tent with the little fourth son to sleep, but I saw that the little fourth son suddenly moved, opened his eyes, and woke up.

Zhao Pu and Gongsun were shocked, oops! Woken up.

Gongsun just wanted to pat him and continue to sleep, but he heard the little fourth son say, "Little Liangzi is back." ”

Gongsun looked at the sky, and dared to think about Xiao Liangzi, so he shook his head, "Xiao Liangzi hasn't ...... yet"

It's just that before Gongsun finished speaking, he heard someone shouting from afar outside, "Jin'er! Jin'er, I'm back! ”

Zhao Pu and Gongsun were stunned and looked at the door together.

After a long while, I saw a small figure outside rushing in, "Jin'er! ”

The little fourth son also got up and pounced over, Xiao Liang caught it and turned in circles, "Jin'er, do you think of me?" ”

Zou Liang frowned slightly, looked at Gongsun, and seemed to feel incredible-the little fourth son didn't hear the voice or judge by any other way at all, but really had a premonition that Xiao Liang was back. The legendary ability to predict the future? It's amazing.

"Hahaha...... I'm back, old monk, what's going on here? ”

While speaking, the monk Wusha outside and the yawning Lin Yehuo also came.

Zou Liang saw Lin Yehuo coming in, and his face, which had been calm, eased slightly.

Lin Yehuo stretched his waist when he entered the door, and then flashed to Zou Liang's side, "Dumb, I have something for you." ”

Zou Liang was stunned.

Lin Yehuo clenched his fist and stuffed it, "Reach out!" ”

Zou Liang subconsciously stretched out his hand, and Lin Yehuo stuffed something into his hand.

Zou Liang looked down and saw that it was a chubby bug.

"Hahaha!" Lin Yehuo pointed at him and straightened it.

Zou Liang stared at him for a while, then suddenly opened his mouth and slapped his hand into his mouth.

Lin Yehuo was stunned for a moment, and Zou Liang chewed it twice, "It tastes good." ”

Lin Yehuo opened his mouth wide and looked frightened, but when he saw Zou Liang stretching out his hand, the worm was still in his hand.

"I'm going to kill you!" Lin Yehuo hurriedly snatched the insect back and put it back into the small gourd he carried with him.

Zou Liang was puzzled, "What kind of worm is this?" ”

"It's a sandworm." Gongsun on the side smiled and said, "It's similar to earthworms, non-toxic and harmless." ”

Lin Yehuo smiled, "Put it on your face and let it rub the door, it's good for the skin, smooth and wrinkle-free!" ”

The corners of Zou Liang's mouth twitched, and he felt his scalp tingle when he thought of a fat insect crawling around Lin Yehuo's face—there are so many tricks in this dead demon.

"Little fourth." Gongsun asked the little fourth son curiously, "How do you know that the little Liangzi of Lu Dao is here?" ”

Xiao Sizi blinked and raised his face - when he fell asleep just now, he heard Xiao Liang's voice, so he thought they were coming.

Wusha was stunned, leaned over and asked Gongsun, "The fourth son knew in advance that we were coming?" ”

Gongsun nodded.

Wusha asked again, "Is this child five years old?" ”

"Here we are." Gongsun nodded.

"Oops...... "Wusha touched his chin, "that's almost time." ”

"What do you mean?" Gongsun was nervous.

Wusha patted him, "Don't worry, sir, it's not a bad thing, the premonition of the fourth child will become stronger and more frequent, and the child is always the fastest growing from five to ten years old, and the ability is the same." ”

Gongsun frowned, becoming more and more worried.

Zhao Pu thought it was very useful, and leaned over and asked Xiao Sizi with a smile, "Little Sizi, then you help me calculate, are Bai Yutang and Zhanzhao in danger?" ”

Xiao Sizi tilted his head, "How do you count it?" ”

Gongsun kicked Zhao Pu.

Instead, Zou Liang squatted down, looked at the little fourth son, and said, "Otherwise, think about Zhanzhao, and then think about Bai Yutang." ”

Xiao Sizi touched his chin and raised his face to think about it, and then blinked, seemingly a little confused.

"How?" Gongsun asked.

"Well, cats are pretty good." Xiao Sizi replied, "But there is a black shadow standing next to Bai Bai, I don't know who it is." ”

"Dark Shadow?" Zhao Pu frowned.

Xiao Sizi nodded, and shrank behind Xiao Liang's body, "There is a feeling of good and bad!" ”

"The Shadow?" Gongsun asked.

"yes!" Xiao Sizi nodded, and added, "Then the cat and Bai Bai are in the dark yard, I feel that place is so dangerous!" ”

Everyone looked at each other - could it be that Bai Yutang was targeted by someone? Or is there a dangerous existence beside Bai Yutang? And they are in danger at this time?

……

Early the next morning, Bai Yutang woke up before dawn, got up and stretched.

As soon as he washed up and took Xiao Wu downstairs, he saw Huai Mi waiting at the door, and there was a big carriage outside the door, "Your Highness is awake, what do you want for breakfast?" ”

Bai Yutang was stunned for a while before he realized that his "Your Highness" was calling himself, he was a little embarrassed, waved his hand, and said, "I'll eat it myself......"

It's just that Huai Mi has stopped him and motioned to him - look at the carriage on the side.

Bai Yutang looked at the carriage and saw that it was Xuanyuan Jue's patrol carriage, and on the wheel, Xuanyuan Jue with an ugly face was sitting.

The curtain of the carriage was gently raised, and Xuanyuan Jie poked his head out and beckoned to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang was helpless, so he had to continue to pretend to be someone's son, so he got into the carriage.

Xuanyuan's carriage is quite magnificent, with breakfast on the coffee table, porridge and buns, and a few side dishes are also exquisite.

Bai Yutang sat down and suddenly remembered that the cat was going to compete today, and he didn't know if he ate well...... I reminded Tianzun to remember to feed the cat, and it should be more reliable if Yin Hou is also around......

At the same time, in the inn at the other end, Zhan Zhao was standing at the table in a daze, when he saw a table full of dishes on the table.

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth to look at Tianzun and Marquis Yin on the side, "This is ......"

"Breakfast!" The two nodded together.

The corners of Zhanzhao's mouth twitched slightly-a table of banquets for breakfast?

"Yutang said that he would feed you well!" Tianzun said seriously.

Yin Hou nodded, "I'm going to have a martial arts competition today, eat more!" ”

Zhan Zhao sat in front of the banquet speechlessly, how did Bai Yutang explain to the two of them? If you eat it for a while, you probably won't be able to beat it.

……

On the carriage, Bai Yutang was drinking porridge in a daze.

Xuanyuan helped him peel an egg and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?" After watching the competition for a while, you will go back to the palace with me. ”

Bai Yutang drank porridge, "Are you in a hurry to go back?" ”

Xuanyuan Ji smiled and nodded, "There are many things in the palace. ”

Bai Yutang didn't nod or shake his head, and continued to be in a daze.

"That's right." Xuanyuan asked Bai Yutang, "Are you familiar with the Northern Song court?" ”

Bai Yutang thought for a moment, "Palace? You say royalty? ”

"yes." Xuanyuan nodded.

Bai Yutang shook his head, "I'm just familiar with Zhao Pu, and then I get along well with Zhanzhao, Master Bao and Master Pang also know each other, and the others are not familiar, Zhao Zhen I have only met a few times." ”

"Are you familiar with Master Pang?" Xuanyuan Jie seemed a little curious, "Isn't he a famous traitor?" I understand that your character is compatible with Master Bao, why do you still get along with Master Pang? ”

"It's just a rumor." Bai Yutang said lightly, "Pang Ji is okay, although he is a little more cunning, he is just a character, and he has not harmed anyone in front of me, but I can see that he has suffered." ”

"Oh......" Xuanyuan smiled, "Then I haven't hurt anyone in front of you, have I?" ”

Bai Yutang looked at him with some amusement, "You just pinched an assassin to death in front of me yesterday. ”

"You'd say he's an assassin, too." Xuanyuan smiled, "I'm out of self-defense. ”

Bai Yutang glanced at him, "That person can't kill you at all." ”

"I have no extra sympathy for the enemy." Xuanyuan put the peeled egg into Bai Yutang's bowl, and took out a scroll to give it to him, "Take a look." ”

Bai Yutang took it and opened it to look at it...... I saw that it was a portrait of Bai Ling'er.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly.

Xuanyuan Ji's painting is still slightly different from Xuanyuan Po's, this one seems to be more similar to himself, and Bai Ling'er in the painting is also very young.

"Your mother." Xuanyuan said.

Bai Yutang looked at it for a long time, rolled it up, and put it aside, "I understand why you said that I am your son." ”

Xuanyuan smiled.

"But maybe." Bai Yutang shook his head, "Don't you think it's too similar?" If it's really your son, maybe it's not that much like that, right? Maybe it's just a coincidence. ”

"No, it won't." Xuanyuan shook his head, looking very determined.

"So sure?" Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and grabbed a chopsticks side dish.

Xuanyuan pointed to the finger of his coral ring, "Take your ring down and I'll take a look." ”

Bai Yutang also cooperated and took the ring off.

Xuanyuan Jian stared at the red "mark" on his finger and looked distracted, "After you return to the palace with me, I will take you to worship your mother." ”

Bai Yutang put the ring back, didn't speak, drank porridge for a while, and asked, "My father is also surnamed Bai, could it be that your wife is a relative of my family?"

Xuanyuan Ji looked at Bai Yutang a little helplessly, "You are my son!" “

"Are you so sure?" Bai Yutang said, "It's better to find out, you're not afraid of admitting your mistake, but your real biological son is still looking for you outside?" ”

"You can't go wrong!" Xuanyuan was resolute.

"Why? Just because of the looks and this mark? Bai Yutang shook his hand.

"Ling'er told me!" Xuanyuan said in a low voice.

Bai Yutang was stunned, but didn't understand, "Who?" ”

"Ling'er!" Xuanyuan said seriously, and as he spoke, the void grabbed a handful, as if he was grabbing someone's hand.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly and looked at Xuanyuan Ji suspiciously.

"You can't see it." Xuanyuan Ji seemed a little helpless, "But your mother's soul has always been by my side, and when she saw you, she told me that you were Yu'er!" ”

Bai Yutang felt that the atmosphere was a little weird. Did Xuanyuan pretend to be a ghost, or did he miss Bai Ling'er so much that he hallucinated?

At this time, Huai Mi said outside the carriage, "Your Majesty, the hour is almost up." Xuanyuan nodded and waved at him.

Huai Mi ordered the carriage and horses to drive to the ring to watch this decisive battle.

Bai Yutang was also a little nervous, and he didn't know how Lu Dao Zhanzhao had prepared yesterday.

"Yu'er, who do you think will win this competition?" Xuanyuan asked.

Bai Yutang thought for a moment and said, "According to my observation yesterday, the kung fu should be better than Yin Twelve. ”

"But...... According to my observation last night, the head is Xun Yuebai. Xuanyuan said, "When a master makes a move, sometimes it depends not only on strength, but also on scheming. ”

Bai Yutang frowned.

"But Yin Twelve's martial arts are indeed much better than Xun Yuebai, so it's not interesting to fight like this." Saying that, Xuanyuan Ji said to Huai Mi, "Go tell Duan Hong and ask him to change the rules of today's competition, Xun Yuebai fights with both hands, Yin Twelve can only use one hand, he can't use his right hand if he uses his left hand, and he can't use his left hand if he uses his right hand, otherwise he will lose." ”

Huai Mi was stunned, but still nodded and went to order.

Bai Yutang tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, knowing that if he was too excited at this time, he would definitely arouse Xuanyuan Ji's suspicions, and Zhanzhao might be even more dangerous.

But it was impossible for Bai Yutang to endure and not say it, so he asked, "What kind of rules are you?" ”

Xuanyuan smiled indifferently, "Is this a good game!" It's evenly matched, it's best to fight to the death, that's exciting! ”

Bai Yutang looked at him, "Are you choosing talents or having fun?" ”

"It's both." Xuanyuan raised his eyebrows, "If you can win like this, it means that you are a real talent, right?" ”

Bai Yutang frowned and was silent, his heart was raised to his throat - how should Zhanzhao deal with it? Playing against Xun Yuebai with one hand, it was inevitably too much of a loss, and I had to find a way to help him......

At this time, the order had been given to Zhan Zhao to face the battle with one hand.

Zhan Zhao held his face and thought—left hand or right hand?

The other end seems to have gotten the news, too.

When no one was around, Shi Kuohai asked Xun Yuebai in a low voice, "What's the matter?" You asked to see Xuanyuan alone last night, just to fight for this? ”

Xun Yuebai smiled coldly, "Yin Twelve's martial arts are too good, and it seems to be very compatible with Bai Yutang, it is very likely that he will be selected by Bai Yutang to be a guard or something in the future." ”

Shi Kuohai tilted his head, "Then?" ”

"And then of course it's not good!" Xun Yue's white eyes lit up, "Not only do you win today, but you also have to find an opportunity to let Yin Twelve die." ”

Shi Kuohai trembled, "Big brother, don't you...... People have no grievances with us, so it doesn't matter who we are. “

Xun Yuebai glanced at him.

Shi Kuohai seemed to be quite jealous of him, and he was quite obedient, so he had to shut up.

Xun Yuebai installed a hidden weapon on his wrist and said, "For the sake of justice, the necessary sacrifice is inevitable, do you understand?" ”

Shi Kuohai nodded, "Understood." ”
