Don't Bai Chen accompany Changzhou, see exhibition mother surprised encounter assassin
The next day, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang came to the dining hall after washing up. They were surprised to find that the guy who said he wanted to continue chatting with them yesterday was actually bidding farewell to the abbot and the others. Although he wasn't handsome, his face had a different flavor. There was an exaggerated bitterness and helplessness on his face. He didn't look as energetic as when he was solving the case. Instead, he looked a little dispirited.
"Hey! Bai Chen!" Bai Yutang shouted. He walked forward in surprise and patted him on the shoulder." You're not leaving, are you?!"”
Seeing Zhan Zhao and Bai Chen, Bai Chen let out an exaggerated sigh and said,""Although I'm very reluctant, I have no choice! I don't know how she knew that I was in Xiangguo Temple, but she sent a letter to me this morning, asking me to go home and see her!”
"I see!" Bai Yutang patted him on the shoulder, and the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a somewhat playful and helpless expression." Then I can only say that it's a pity! You actually left your mother alone at home. Aren't you afraid that she'll be angry when you go back?”
"I'm also having a headache over this!" Bai Chen rolled his eyes dejectedly. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and became spirited. He grabbed Bai Yutang's shoulders," Brother Bai, if you and Brother Zhan have nothing to do, why don't you come with me to Xiangyang to play?" With you guys around, my mother will give me some face!”
"Are you so afraid of your mother?" Bai Yutang laughed. Then, he covered his face with his fan and asked softly," You…You didn't sneak out back then, did you?"”
Immediately, Bai Chen revealed an expression as if he had found a confidant."The one who knows me is Brother Bai! Brother Bai's guess was right, so he's most likely a kindred spirit!”
Bai Yutang immediately shouted,"A bosom friend! As expected of a bosom friend!" She flicked his chest." You don't know, but my mother is not an ordinary person. She…"
……
These two people really had the same bad taste! Zhan Zhao shook his head helplessly. It was really the standard Bai Jadehall style. There were almost no serious moments!
Looking at Bai Yutang's sparkling eyes, Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered that this Fifth Master Bai, who was famous for his ruthlessness in Jianghu, was actually only 22 years old. He was even a year younger than him. Although this person was usually fierce, arrogant, and eccentric, he had always been brave and resourceful. He had the demeanor of a general, making people involuntarily believe and trust him, treating him as a friend and confidant.
This person was a luminous body, and he was born with the ability to attract others 'attention and get close to him. Zhan Zhao thought about it and couldn't help but sigh,"Isn't he one of these people?"
Even though this person was really childish at times, and always did things that made people not know whether to laugh or cry…
The two of them chatted and laughed for a while before Bai Chen brought up the old topic again,""I say, have you considered my opinion? Do you want to go to Xiangyang with me?”
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other and shook their heads apologetically.
"This! Brother Bai, I won't hide it from you, we still have some things to do. However, I promise you that this cat and I will visit Xiangyang soon. I only hope that when the time comes, you won't say that we're freeloading!”Bai Yutang said. At the same time, he didn't forget to poke Bai Chen's chest with the folding fan in his hand, smiling brightly.
"If that's the case, it's really regrettable. I guess I won't be able to come out for a while, so I can wait for you in Xiangyang.”Bai Chen seemed to be regretful that the two of them couldn't go together, but he immediately perked up.
"Forget it! It's getting late, I should go! Brother Zhan, Brother Bai, and everyone else, we'll meet again!”
"See you again!" Zhao and Bai cupped their fists at the same time and looked at Bai Chen with a knowing smile. Friendship between men was like this. Often, a smile and a look were enough!
……
After sending Bai Chen off, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't stay for long. After staying for two days, they bid farewell to Xiangguo Temple and rushed to Changzhou. This was what they had planned that night. Zhan Zhao was a little worried about his mother in Changzhou. In addition, he realized that his father's death was not simple, so he decided to go back and see if there were any clues left behind. Although the possibility was not high, Zhan Zhao still had some hope in his heart. This matter was like a fishbone stuck in his throat. If he did not go home to take a look, he would really be worried.
It just so happened that they couldn't return to Kaifeng Prefecture for the time being. They should take this opportunity to go back and see their mother. It wouldn't delay the official business at Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhan Zhao thought.
As for Bai Jadehall, he seemed to be very free recently. He also claimed that he was still in prison and could not leave easily before the three years were up. Therefore, he had to risk his life to accompany the gentleman!
As for what he was thinking, that was another matter.
Changzhou was not close to Xiangguo Temple, but the two of them did not delay much along the way, so they did not spend much time. However, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang left in a hurry and did not bring much silver with them. Fortunately, there was a reply to the letter to Lord Bao. Mister Gongsun handed over Zhan Zhao's salary to the government of Dongshan Town, and the two had money to travel. Otherwise, Zhan Zhao was really worried that a certain rat would return to his old profession in front of an official like him.
With Bai Yutang's personality, he should have enjoyed the scenery along the way since he had such a good opportunity to travel. However, when he thought of Zhan Zhao's gloomy words that night, Fifth Master Bai felt an inexplicable sense of oppression. In order to hurry on their journey, they naturally had to save on the journey. However, Bai Yutang wasn't someone who would suffer losses. While they were on their way, they had forced Zhan Zhao to agree to find an opportunity to accompany him on this "trip" to make up for it. Zhan Zhao also knew that Bai Jadehall was hurrying on for him, so he was moved and agreed to this travel agreement.
Although Zhan Zhao's home was in Changzhou, he had never returned since he followed Bao Zheng. As for his family, known as the number one aristocratic family in the south, the Zhan family's ancestral home, he had even less of an impression. Every time he came back to see his mother, he was also very careful, afraid that someone would find out.
Therefore, it was reasonable for him to get lost while searching for the Zhan Family. However, the premise was that he did not have a white mouse who liked to play with cats.
"Haha! Oh my god, a royal cat couldn't even find its own home. This was too unreasonable! I say, Kitten, in Fifth Master's opinion, we should find a passerby to ask! Otherwise, if we keep going around like this, we'll get lost in Changzhou City!”
Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao's embarrassed expression and laughed heartlessly. Finally, after bypassing the fifth wrong path, she gave him a suggestion out of kindness.
"…" Zhan Zhao shut his mouth tightly and didn't say a word. How did he know that he would get lost in front of his house? If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want to show his cowardice in front of this white mouse, he would have asked someone about it long ago. Why would he be running around like a headless fly now?
Very quickly, following the directions of the passersby, they found the Zhan Family's ancestral home. However, it was inconvenient to enter during the day. After discussing it for a while, they found an inn nearby and made a trip. Then, they sat down and ate while waiting for the sky to turn dark.
By the time the night watch sounded, the night had already enveloped the earth. Two figures quietly climbed over the walls of the Zhan family's ancestral home and moved toward a room with lights on.
"Really! I'm really going to become a night creature by following you!”As they walked, Bai Yutang did not forget to complain.
"If you don't want to come, no one will force you!”Zhan Zhao heard the complaints of the people behind him and replied angrily-this white mouse! Haven't you walked enough at night? Who was the one who stole the three treasures of Kaifeng Prefecture in the dark back then!
Following the route in his memory, Zhan Zhao arrived outside his mother's house. Sure enough, the lights were still on, and there were faint sounds of conversation in the house. He knew that ever since his father passed away, his mother had taken over the huge family business alone and had to work until very late every day before she could rest. As a child, he couldn't help at all, which made him feel very guilty.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, Zhan Zhao suddenly sensed something. At the same time, Bai Yutang, who was behind him, reached out and pulled him back. He whispered,
"Kitten, something doesn't seem right!”
"Shh!"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. Then, the two of them quietly walked to the window and poked a hole in the paper with their index fingers. When they came closer to take a look, Zhan Zhao's eyes immediately widened in anger. His mother, Madam Zhan, had been tied up by someone. There were also four men in black holding swords and interrogating them.
Seeing this, Zhan Zhao was about to rush in, but he was stopped by Bai Yutang."
"Don't move! Let's observe the situation first!"
Zhan Zhao knew that he should be calm. However, this was about his mother. Even the calm and steady Zhan Nanxia couldn't help but panic. Bai Yutang, who was always impulsive, was even calmer at this time. He held Zhan Zhao's hand tightly in case he couldn't help but rush out.
At this moment, the people in the room did not know that there were people peeping outside the window. The group of men in black were still holding knives and interrogating Mrs. Zhan."Speak! Where is it?"
Mrs. Zhan didn't say anything. She just stared at the group of people with wide eyes.
"Damn old woman! Do you want your life or this wealth? Let me tell you, as long as I gently push this knife forward, your throat will be slit. Hurry up! Don't dawdle!"
Mrs. Zhan looked at that person coldly and smiled contemptuously.""Don't think that I don't know who sent you here. What, are you desperate? Take your knife away! Don't be an eyesore in front of me! You should all know that in this world, only I know where the seal of the Zhan family head is. If I die, the person behind you will get nothing!”
