Zhan Tianlu's visit is suspicious, Ding Yuehua sends a letter to Changzhou
Zhan Zhao didn't know that Fifth Master Bai had been acting strangely recently because of him.
For the next few days, Bai Yutang did not allow himself to think about the reason for his abnormality. But today, he had to think about it carefully.
Even if he was slow, he could sense that something was wrong. Ever since he stole San Bao and locked Zhan Zhao up in the " Cat Trap to Death Cave ", once Zhan Zhao was involved, it was as if he was no longer himself. Not only did he stay away from the government office, but he was also with that cat every day.
But why was he so excited when he went to Xiangyang and saw the injured cat? He even rushed to the Red Flame branch without caring about anything?
Was it just friendship or brotherhood? This idea that he had used to convince himself when Ding Yuehua asked him about it seemed to be getting more and more unsound in his heart. However, if he had to put it in another way, he could not think of the reason for his abnormality.
After that, he had reacted too violently to the dragon's betrothal. When he had found out that Huiyun was Zhan Zhao in Xiangguo Temple, he had felt so strongly deceived and delighted that he had been at a loss. After knowing the cat's background, he felt a strange heartache and a sense of crisis. And today, when Mrs. Zhan wanted the cat to acknowledge its ancestors, she felt strangely that he was in a dilemma. She even impulsively spoke up again and again to resolve the conflict for him, ignoring the fact that doing so would make Mrs. Zhan feel that she was strange…
Also, he was stunned in Zhan Zhao's room just now, as well as the possibility that he didn't dare to think about it anymore…What was he thinking at that time? Why did she have such thoughts about that cat?
Even now, he had no choice but to care about what was wrong with himself.
"What happened to me?"
No one knew how many times he had asked himself, but he still could not get an answer.
Ask that cat? No! He didn't want him to know about his troubles and feelings. He was afraid…
It was funny that Fifth Master Bai, who had always been fearless, had an emotion that he had never felt before after meeting this cat. What was even more ridiculous was that he could not even tell what he was afraid of.
There was also a faint feeling that he had experienced this kind of emotion before…
"Maybe I should stay away from that cat?”
The thought was immediately extinguished by him. He had been used to following the cat around. If he suddenly left, the cat would most likely choose to take over the family business, regardless of whether he was willing or not. No matter what, they were still brothers. If he did not help him dispel this thought, he would not be able to leave in peace.
Moreover, he remembered that time in Xiangyang, the cat was stupid enough to fall into an ambush to save people and almost lost its life. He was very worried that with his personality, he would be eaten alive by others in the mall. Sometimes, he even wondered how the cat had survived in the martial world. It had not lost its life because of someone's plot. It was almost the greatest miracle of the dynasty.
After thinking about it, he decided that it was best for him not to leave for the time being. It was better to keep an eye on him, lest he was plotted against and he could not explain himself to Lord Bao and Mister Gongsun. Moreover, if his mother found out that he had abandoned his friend and left, his mother would definitely not forgive him!
Bai Yutang didn't notice that from the beginning, he had placed Zhan Zhao in a position where he needed to be protected. He didn't consider the benefits of his original personality and his ability. No one could tell what this meant…
……
The next day, after breakfast, Mother Zhan told Zhan Zhao about the Zhan family's situation in recent years. Overall, under the leadership of Mother Zhan, the business of the Zhan Family not only did not decrease, but also increased. However, there were some relatives who had been eyeing the position of the Zhan family head. The assassin yesterday was most likely sent by one of them.
Mother Zhan had the same thoughts as Bai Yutang. She also believed that if nothing unexpected happened, the mastermind behind the men in black would most likely rush over to see who had saved her after seeing his subordinates return in defeat. Under Bai Yutang's suggestion, she temporarily decided to hide Zhan Zhao's identity and see what those guys would do next.
Zhan Zhao thought about it for a long time and decided not to tell his mother about the leader of the men in black. Firstly, he did not want his mother to worry. After all, his mother had too many things to do now. Secondly, Zhan Zhao wasn't sure if he had made a mistake. Although he was confident that his memory would not be wrong, if there was really an accident, with his mother's thunderous methods, that person would probably not be able to get any benefits...
After the leader of the men in black was locked up last night, he wanted to ask. However, considering that to outsiders, that " Zhan Zhao " of the Zhan Family was already dead, he decided to wait and see if the mastermind would appear today.
As expected by Mother Zhan, the moment breakfast was over, the gatekeeper outside came to report that Second Master Zhan, the second brother of the previous Zhan Family Head Zhan Tianyi and the second uncle of Zhan Zhao, Zhan Tianlu, had come to discuss something.
"It really is him!"
Mother Zhan sneered and turned to explain to Zhan Zhao,""Your second uncle is the person who has played the most tricks in recent years. Among all the people who have designs on my Zhan family's assets, he is also the most powerful. That guy is an old fox. Zhao 'er, you have to be careful. Don't let him see through you!”
"Mother, don't worry. I know what to do!”Zhan Zhao said as he looked at Bai Yutang. Seeing him smile at him, he felt relieved for some reason.
With this quick-witted fellow around, no matter how big the matter was, it should not be a problem.
As they spoke, Zhan Tianlu had already brought a few people to the hall. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang acted as the guards of the Zhan family and stood behind Mother Zhan's seat as they had discussed in advance.
"I haven't seen you for many days. How has sister-in-law been?”
Zhan Tianlu was a thin middle-aged man. He had inherited the outstanding looks of the Zhan family. Although he did not look like Zhan Zhao, he was also handsome. Just by looking at his appearance, one could imagine how handsome he was when he was young.
However, the ruthlessness between his brows and the flickering gaze when he saw that Mother Zhan was fine were immediately captured by the sharp-eyed Zhao and Bai.
Almost at the same time, Zhao and Bai both had an idea.
As soon as he entered the door, he and Mother Zhan began to exchange conventional greetings. Neither Zhan Zhao nor Bai Yutang were interested in this. However, just as the two of them were observing Zhan Tianlu, the person Zhan Tianlu brought inadvertently saw the two of them. In shock, he opened his mouth and shouted,
"Zhan Zhao! White Jade Hall!"
When they heard their names being called out, Zhan Zhao and Zhang Xuan were also shocked. When they saw the appearance of the person who was shouting, they could not help but complain inwardly, How could there be such a coincidence that they would meet here?
The two people were Wang Guangling and Fang Zijing, the two merchants who claimed to be from Bianjing, whom they had met at Xiangguo Temple!
They didn't expect such a sudden change. Even Mother Zhan had no idea what to do. Everyone was stunned for a moment. Zhan Tianlu had never guessed that the two young men behind Mother Zhan would be the famous Brocade Rodent and Zhan Royal Cat. This explained why the killers he sent yesterday had returned in defeat.
However, according to common sense, these two should be in Kaifeng at this time. Why would they appear in Changzhou and beside that old woman? Could it be…
" So it's the famous Guard Zhan from Kaifeng Prefecture and Young Master Bai from Xiankong Island." As expected of the old fox, Zhan Tianlu was only stunned for a moment before he cupped his fists and asked tentatively," What brings you to Changzhou?" Could it be that there's a problem with my Zhan Family's business?”
" This…" Zhan Zhao was not good at lying. He was stunned for a moment, unable to think of an explanation.
"Madam!" At this moment, the gatekeeper suddenly came to report." There are two more people outside requesting an audience. They said they are here to look for Guard Zhan and Guard Bai.”
"Please!"
Seeing that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, Mrs. Zhan could not help but heave a sigh of relief. On the contrary, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were very surprised. They did not expect someone to come looking for them, and it was such a coincidence.
Soon, the servant brought two people up. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw that the one walking in front was Zhang Long, and the one behind him was Ding Yuehua, who was disguised as a man!
" Madam Zhan." Zhang Long bowed politely to Mother Zhan." We are the guards of Kaifeng Prefecture. I am Zhang Long, and this is Guard Ding. We are here to look for Guard Zhan and Guard Bai under Lord Bao's orders."”
Guard Ding? Zhan Zhao and Zhang Xuan looked at Little Demoness Ding, who was bowing to Mother Zhan with a serious expression, and felt an inexplicable cold wind blow past their backs…
" You're welcome," Mother Zhan said with a smile." The person you're looking for is here. Why don't you sit down for a while? I'll order the servants to serve tea for the two of you!"”
"Old Furen, you're welcome!" Zhang Long said, then turned to Zhan Zhao and the other two." Guards, we're just here to deliver a letter. I don't know the details, but since we've brought the letter, you can read it yourself."”
As he spoke, he took out a letter and handed it to Zhan Zhao. Zhan Zhao took it and opened it with Bai Yutang.
" The word is presented to the two guards, Zhan and Bai. Recently, the Empress Dowager has interceded and helped the Princess. The matter of Guard Bai has been pardoned by the Emperor. I heard that the two of you have a case to investigate, so I sent guard Zhang Long to help. You can do as you please.
"In addition, there seems to be some strange movements near Changzhou recently. You two might as well investigate. Be careful.”
The letter was signed by Gongsun Ce, and it also gave some other instructions. When the two saw the letter, they were very excited and thanked Zhang Long. It had to be said that Zhang Long's timing was too good. Bai Yutang immediately had an idea. He secretly pulled Zhan Zhao's sleeve and laughed,
"Mister Gongsun is really too much. I've troubled you to make a trip. Don't worry, with us here, nothing will happen!”
Then, he turned around and bowed to Mother Zhan.""I'm really sorry, but Mister Gongsun wants us to investigate further. It seems that we'll have to stay in your residence for a while longer!”
Zhan Zhao immediately understood what Bai Yutang meant. He wanted to pretend that he was here with him to investigate a case. This would explain why the people from Kaifeng Prefecture would appear in Changzhou and stay in Zhan Prefecture. He nodded in agreement.
So it's a case investigation…Zhan Tianlu was slightly relieved, but he didn't let down his guard against these two people. Ding Yuehua, who was beside him, seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up with a strange light.
After saying some meaningless words, Zhan Tianlu saw that he couldn't get any useful information, so he pretended to leave.
Finally, the old fox was sent away. However, before Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang could breathe a sigh of relief, they turned around and saw another person who gave them a headache. The little witch Ding Yuehua who had caused the entire Bianjing to turn upside down was still here!
Sure enough, the two of them had just returned to their courtyard when they were stopped by the demoness who had been waiting for them for a long time.
"Dear Big Brother Zhan and Little Fifth Brother, there are no outsiders now. You can tell them what happened here!”
Instantly, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other helplessly. They were here!
"We…what could happen to us?”Bai Yutang still tried to muddle through and deliberately changed the topic." As for you, why did you suddenly come to Changzhou?”
"Stop pretending!" The little demoness rolled her eyes." Don't think that I can't tell that you two were flirting with each other today! Hurry up and confess. If you resist, don't blame me for being impolite!”
What did he mean by 'flirting' with her? Not only did the two of them not know whether to laugh or cry, but this young lady was really too much. Not only did she abuse idioms, but she also ran to Changzhou without any care. Meeting this person would give them a headache!

============================================
Next chapter trailer:
These words were clearly directed at Bai Yutang. Even though Bai Yutang knew that the little demoness was intentionally angering him, he could not help but feel a little angry. He jumped up as if someone had stepped on his tail.
"How dare you!" At the thought of her two brothers from Mohua Village, Ding Yuehua became a little anxious and called out to them without any regard for anything else.
" If you're talking about the one with curly hair," the black-shirted man said and glanced in the direction of the room next door with a faint smile." He's not awake yet."”
It was as if he had a very long dream. In the dream, there was a moon-white figure, which made him look forward to it, sad, and a little resentful. The person was saying something to him in a daze, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not hear it clearly.
