[Rat and Cat] Han Palace Autumn

Chapter 11

Zhan Zhao lived under Xueying, and originally wanted to find a guest room, but Bai Yutang insisted on playing tricks and refused. He was really exhausted that day, so he could only let him go, but he wanted to move out later, but no matter what, he couldn't make it.

The empty island is peaceful and quiet, with verdant vegetation. It is really a good place to recuperate. During the day, Zhan Zhao flips through the books left by Bai Yutang, or wanders around the island. Calligraphy and painting can be described as very leisurely.The Four Rats didn't come to bother him, instead, Bai Yutang took him to visit Lu Fang's youngest son, Lu Zhen, who was under the age of one a few times.Strange to say, children still can't speak, but they like to stay with Zhan Zhao very much. Zhan Zhao is also a patient person. He often has a lot of fun talking with ducks when he is a child, and makes other people click tut Amazing.Just taking medicine every day is a hard job, knowing that he is afraid of hardship, Mrs. Lu took pains to make a matching sweet soup, which made Zhan Zhao feel very sorry.

He has always been busy with official duties, so it is rare for him to have this leisure time. Bai Yutang sees him very closely, strictly prohibits martial arts practice, and even sets time for studying, so he is afraid that he will bother his mind.Ten days passed by in the blink of an eye, and Zhan Zhao only felt that if he continued like this, he might not even be able to jump up the eaves after returning to Kaifeng Mansion.

Bai Yutang was quite satisfied—seeing his beloved cat's face turn rosy day by day, and even his normally cold fingers finally warmed up, he was happy to see the sky and smiled, but he was only dissatisfied—the daily nourishing soup and medicinal diet Going down, the cat still doesn't have much flesh on its body. Although its limbs are well-proportioned and slender, its muscles are strong, but its waist is too thin, making it look thinner, more like a scholar than a knight.

On this day, Sister-in-Law finally showed mercy and released Zhan Zhao, announcing that his body was recovering well and that he could practice exercises to strengthen his body.

This made Zhan Zhao, who could only use his internal energy a little to entertain himself for a few days, heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, he didn't have to worry about the hard work of losing his job due to the decline of his martial arts due to neglected practice.

Bai Yutang was also a little excited. Too many important things happened after the two met this time, and he didn't find an opportunity to compete with this cat. The two of them have been in the world since they were 16 years old. He has heard of many famous and deeds, but he has never seen it before. If Zhan Zhao was not sealed by Yumao and settled down in Kaifeng Mansion, the two would have to wait until they want to see each other again.Now that it is so easy to have this opportunity, I will not let it go easily.That afternoon.Together, the two found an open space in the back mountain. The spring water here is tingling, the trees are tall and quiet, which can be described as a rare beauty.

Seeing the joyful look in Zhan Zhao's eyes, Bai Yutang was also very happy in his heart: "How about it, Mao'er, can the fifth master see this place?"

Zhan Zhao smiled at him, and replied: "It's completely quiet—if one day, Mr. Bao resigns from office, Zhan would really like to find this wonderful place. Wouldn't it be fun to build a hut and plant seeds?"

With his reserved temperament, this is almost a promise for the rest of his life.Bai Yutang was overjoyed: "Mao'er, that's what you said. When Mr. Bao is no longer an official, you will go back to the mountains and forests with me, and enjoy the rivers and lakes?"

Zhan Zhao's face flushed, but he didn't hold back: "When did I say so much... Cough, if Mr. Bao is not in the officialdom, what am I going to do here?"

Bai Yutang looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Mao'er, Fifth Master is very happy today!" He opened his posture, roared, and turned around to stand on the top of the tree, drawing his sword and facing Zhan Zhao away.Zhan Zhao also took advantage of the opportunity to draw out the giant que, standing on the stone beside the spring, with his belt fluttering, matched with his handsome face, like a fairy.

With a gust of wind blowing through the leaves, the two jumped forward at the same time, passed by with a "ding" in the air, and then circled each other, splitting and joining in the air, clanging and fighting.

Both of them have superb lightness kung fu, their clothes flaps are blown by the mountain wind, they are like flying birds circling, or like butterflies fluttering, it is really too beautiful to behold.

Bai Yutang slammed his right foot on the tree trunk, and said with a smile, "Cat, look at the trick!" After saying that, he flew over like an arrow, with the top-level sword technique of "Qingjiangyue" in his hand, and the shadow swirled around, It is necessary to take Juque out of Zhan Zhao's control.

Zhan Zhao remained calm in front of the battle, turned sideways to evade with concentration, Ju Que hooked slightly, gave a clear whistle, took a few more steps in the air, and turned around with his sword suddenly, holding Bai Yutang's thrusting sword.

When the two swords collided, they were separated at the touch of a touch. Zhan Zhao turned over on his back, followed by Bai Yutang.The sound of gold and iron clattering was endless, and the two of them were back and forth between the woods, until the fallen leaves fell one after another, and fell all over the ground by the river.

Zhan Zhao swung his sword wide open and closed, falling leaves rose up one after another, covering his sight, he remembered the position of Bai Yutang just now, and suddenly stabbed there, Bai Yutang was shocked, he swung his sword in a hurry to block, the two swords intersected, and there was a crisp sound ring.

Zhan Zhao was wounded in the end, his strength was exhausted, the strength of the sword bounced back, he retreated a few steps, and almost couldn't stand still, Bai Yutang's eyes flashed, his inner strength turned into soft strength, which made Zhan Zhao stagger, He rushed forward again, and fell into his arms.

Smiling and hugging the slender body in his arms, Bai Yutang lazily said: "Cat, you can't wait to throw yourself into your arms."

Zhan Zhao fought violently before he recovered, and when he stopped suddenly, he felt his limbs were sore and limp, his eyes were full of stars, and he couldn't beat Bai Yutang's arms, so he could only speak intermittently: "Bai... Bai Yutang, don't take advantage of it People are in danger...to deceive people too much."

"Hey, so what if you just bully you, anyway, you are a sick cat now, hahaha...ha" He lowered his head inadvertently, and saw the young man in his arms flushed with exercise and embarrassment. The eyelashes fluttered like a row of small fans, and even the light-colored lips became rosy, and they were slightly parted, revealing the white teeth inside.His eyes were straightened, he couldn't keep laughing, but his throat felt dry, he leaned forward recklessly, put the lips in his mouth and rubbed them carefully.

Zhan Zhao was startled, a surge of strength came from nowhere, and he pushed Bai Yutang away, but he fell to the ground staggeringly, and angrily said to Bai Yutang, "What are you doing, do you treat Zhan as a Can such a frivolous person be at will!"

Seeing that he was really angry, Bai Yutang hurriedly apologized, "Then why, I respect and love you, but I can't help it for a while... Mao'er, there is nothing shameful about being intimate between lovers." He stepped forward cautiously, seeing that Zhan Zhao was no longer angry, he pulled him up from the ground, "Your injury is not healed yet, don't get angry at will."

At this time, Zhan Zhao also felt that his reaction was a little too aggressive, and he also knew that Bai Yutang was sincere - it was just that he was used to being casual by nature.But he has always been dignified and abstinent, never imagined such a normal intimacy, he couldn't help feeling ashamed and annoyed.Turning his head to look at the setting sun in the stream, he realized that the two of them had been fighting for half an afternoon, and now it was evening—it was no wonder that his strength was exhausted, and he was hit by the white mouse's hastily and disorderly sword strike. Repel life and death.

Seeing Bai Yutang's cautious look, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. His own reaction was like that of that delicate and timid little girl who wanted to show her favor, but it was really difficult to speak. She was silent for a while, and could only squeeze through the gaps between her teeth. Say a sentence: "Hold... sorry."

He didn't know that Bai Yutang loved his reserved attitude, and when he heard this apology, he was even more breathless, and murmured: "Cat, cat, you are always like this...how can you not scream?" I love Sha..."

His face became even redder, and he tried his best to be serious: "It's getting late, and we should go back to the village, so as not to worry the island owners and Mrs. Lu."

Bai Yutang's face turned bitter: "It's over, it's over, I'm so excited to beat you up today, when I go back, my sister-in-law will have to skin me all over."

Zhan Zhao suppressed a laugh and joked, "Wouldn't that be a hairless mouse?"

"Cat—you..." Bai Yutang dragged out his tone, seeing that the clothes on the two of them were soaked in sweat, he became nervous again, "I didn't notice, you have to go back and change your wet clothes quickly, you sick cat now You are very delicate, don't get caught in the wind and cold again." After speaking, they pulled Zhan Zhao, and the two of them moved away and went straight to Xueyingju at the foot of the mountain.

After returning to the manor, the two of them took a bath and changed clothes without mentioning it. In the evening, when Mrs. Lu came to find Zhan Zhao, she saw that Zhan Zhao was obviously worn out, so there was no need to talk about how to hold Bai Yutang by the ear and give him a good lesson.

More than ten days passed like this, due to the lesson of that day, Bai Yutang did not ask Zhan Zhao to compete in martial arts again, Zhan Zhao's health improved day by day, but he saw that the one-month vacation was coming soon.

Getting up from lunch break this day, Zhan Zhao was practicing basic swordsmanship one move at a time, but he saw Bai Yutang walking towards him carrying a few jugs of fine wine and a plain jade long flute. Zhan Zhao put away his sword posture, looked back and said with a smile: What kind of novel pastime did you think of?"

"Hey, what's the novelty? It's just that the day is approaching. I invite you to have a drink and play together today. I don't know if the cat will appreciate it or not?"

"Since it was invited by Yutang, I must go. Zhan Zhao returned the sword and returned it to its sheath, and asked Bai Yutang to stay longer. After taking a bath, he took the guqin that he had used in his room for the past few days, and went up the back mountain with others.

It was still by the spring where the fight took place that day, Zhan Zhao sat on the ground, put the guqin on his knees, rolled up his sleeves, tuned a few notes, and then played a small tune for fun.

Bai Yutang opened a jar of wine and sighed: "I haven't seen you for many years, but your piano skills are still so superb - when we were studying together, the master always stimulated me with your talent here. It seems that the six arts of a gentleman have never been left behind."

"You say me, don't you?" Zhan Zhao smiled, "When did you let go of your flute?" Then he took the wine jar in his hand and drank it with his head up, praised, "Good wine!"

"Isn't it?" Bai Yutang snatched the wine jar from his hand, "It's 18-year-old Daughter Hong, you cat has a small capacity for alcohol, so don't drink too much."

Zhan Zhao looked at him helplessly: "How can someone invite someone to drink like this... Yutang, could it be that he is reluctant?"

Bai Yutang gave him a sideways look: "Don't irritate me, cat, when the time comes, sister-in-law will trouble me again after drinking too much, Fifth Master is really scared."
