Chapter 34

  Lu Xiaofeng and his group arrived at the White River County government office just in time to see Wang Gan and Zhan Zhao facing off against each other, with the Royal Cat fighting fiercely alongside Wang Gan.

  The county magistrate of Bahe was busy evacuating the villagers and their families who had been infected with the plague.

  Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were on one side, fighting fiercely with Wang Gan's men.

  Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but think to himself: Xian Xiaoming hasn't even found someone to steal the dragon pendant from Wang Gan yet, this efficiency is a bit too low.

  Or is it that the positive energy of the plot's repair is playing its powerful role at this time?

  This is also too ridiculous!

  Bai Yutang recommended himself on one side: "Do you want me to go up and help that stupid cat?"

  Lu Xiaofeng glanced at the old mouse with disdain and said, "Do you think Zhan Zhao needs your help? You'd be better off helping Zhang Long and Zhao Hu instead of trying to help Zhan Zhao."

  "That cat is too lazy."

  "And you're too aggressive." When will you change this damn temper of yours, or else you'll end up making a heroic last stand at the top of the Chuangsha Tower.

  Bai Yutang held his sword across his chest, raised an eyebrow and said, "After all, we are acquaintances who have exchanged eight bows."

  "I don't admit it."

  "Wu Ye is as stubborn as you, if you were a man, we would definitely be sworn brothers. Unfortunately, you're a woman, and if it weren't for the sake of propriety, Wu Ye wouldn't have become sworn siblings with you." Bai Yutang's expression also showed a few hints of distaste.

  This is really unbearable for Uncle and Aunt can't stand it either.

  Lu Xiaofeng glared and said: "What's wrong with being a girl? You're so disgusted, yet you still forced me to become sworn sisters with you. Are you sick?"

  "Do you have medicine?"

  "Ah cho... You're a genuine Northern Song Dynasty man and you actually have a sense of humor from later generations? And you're asking me for medicine?"

  "Ah, do you want a slow one or a quick one?" Little Phoenix Maiden replied seriously.

  Bai Yutang: "......"

  The little millet covers its mouth and smiles.

  Pang Yu was delighted. He loved watching San Jie's various white mice the most, it was so satisfying, and he had completely avenged his father's past grievances with plenty to spare.

  Box.

  Lu Xiaofeng gave an order and immediately her guards brought over her toolbox.

  "Have you decided which medicine to take?"

  Bai Yutang was astonished, "Really?"

  "Nonsense, who would dare to be so confident?" Lu Xiaofeng opened the box, revealing a row of small, gleaming knives, various bottles and jars, and some unknown instruments.

  Bai Yutang felt a chill run down his spine and involuntarily took two steps back, he thought - this adopted sister is somewhat dangerous!

  Lu Xiaofeng took out a porcelain bottle from the box and smiled slightly at Bai Yutang, "Want to try this bottle?"

  "No need." Bai Yutang refused resolutely and concisely.

  "What a pity." Lu Xiaofeng said as he put the porcelain bottle back and closed the lid of the trunk.

  Bai Yutang didn't think it was a pity at all.

  On the other side, Zhan Zhao had successfully dodged Wang Gan's subordinate Zhou San's hidden arrow and stood on the rooftop, smiling slightly mockingly at Wang Gan, saying: "No need for Commander Wang to see me off, farewell."

  Sister Ni, so handsome!

  Is the little cat showing off?

  Wang Gan is so infuriating in every way.

  Lu Xiaofeng watched as Wang Gan led the group in pursuit, and he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement at the rare sight of Xian Xiaoming's slightly arrogant demeanor.

  "Your subordinate has seen Master Hou." Baihe County Magistrate Ma Buqun had already rushed over to pay his respects to Pang Yu, with a hint of anxiety in his heart.

  Kaifeng Prefecture and Pang Taishi are at odds with each other. The two sides' men and horses arrived one after another, putting great pressure on Magistrate Ma.

  "No need for courtesy, I dare ask your honor, what just happened here?" Pang Yu had an expression of knowing nothing.

  "Report to His Excellency, due to some conflicts with the guards and General Wang, a fight broke out."

  Lu Xiaofeng was delighted, this county magistrate's way of speaking by cutting off the head and tail was really good.

  Don't mention the Qinglong Pearl, don't mention the imperial dragon pendant in Wang Gan's hand, don't mention how he was pressured by Wang Gan to summon the poisoned civilians to the county government, and also don't mention how he just dispersed the civilians in the chaos. Just talk about Xian Zhao fighting with Wang Gan.

  Anyway, they just see them fighting.

  Like!

  Ma Buqi looked at Lu Xiaofeng beside Pang Yu with some curiosity, guessing her identity.

  "This is my sister." Pang Yu simply introduced her.

  "I have met Miss Pong before."

  Lu Xiaofeng smiled and nodded, saying nothing more.

  "What brings Master Hou to this place?"

  Nothing's the matter, I'm just accompanying my sister on an outing and happened to arrive at your esteemed residence.

  "The undersigned will now dispatch someone to arrange accommodations for Your Lordship's entourage."

  "No need, we can stay at the government hostel."

  "Yes."

  As a result, Ma did not avoid the pressure of receiving An Le Hou, but instead welcomed Bao Zheng and his entourage from Kaifeng Prefecture, whose pressure was even greater than that of receiving An Le Hou.

  Ma Bo did not have such a difficult time as he does now. He deeply felt the discord between Bao and Pang.

  Bao Zheng and his entourage finally stayed at the government hostel, which was consistent with Bao Zheng's usual habit.

  As a result, it was inevitable that Bao and Pang would meet.

  Magistrate Ma of the county, who was standing by, frequently wiped his sweat.

  "Hello, Mr. Bao."

  "Bao Zheng has met with Lord Hou."

  "No need for excessive courtesy, Your Excellency; I should be thanking you instead."

  "Bao Gong did not dare."

  “……”

  Ma Bugun: What's going on? The situation seems a bit strange.

  Will this joyful reunion scene be too discordant?

  One is surnamed Bao and the other is surnamed Pang?

  "Brother Bao." Bai Yutang greeted him with a gesture of respect from the Jianghu world.

  "Bai Xiaoxiao is also here." Bao Zheng slightly nodded his head, then went to look at Lu Xiaofeng and his servant who had just come out of the room.

  "The civilian woman has paid her respects to Lord Bao."

  "Bao Zheng dare not be." What Bao Zheng said was the truth, and this girl actually had an official position, only it wasn't recorded in the Ministry of Justice.

  "Mr. Gong Sun is good." Little Phoenix still had a good impression of Bamboo.

  "Miss Pang is well." Gong Sun Ce smiled in response.

  Ma Buqi: It must be his eyes that have a problem, he definitely saw it wrong.

  Just as everyone was rejoicing at the reunion, Zhan Zhao led Zhang Long and Zhao Hu back.

  "Zhan Zhao has seen the adult."

  "What's going on with the exhibition guard?"

  Zhan Zhao's eyes swept around in a circle, saying nothing.

  Gongsun Ce smiled and said, "Sir, let's go to the study room."

  "Bao Gong has taken his leave, Master Hou, please sit down."

  "It doesn't matter, Lord Bao is busy anyway." Pang Yu showed great demeanor.

  Zhan Zhao Ling glanced in Lu Xiao Feng's direction as he was about to leave, and coincidentally she was also looking at him.

  As their eyes met, she winked at him and the corners of her mouth immediately curled up, smiling slyly like a mischievous cat.

  Zhan Zhao also smiled in his heart and followed Bao Daren to the study.

  Bai Yutang stroked his chin thoughtfully on one side, had they just exchanged a romantic glance?

  In the study, Xianzhao has already reported all the events of this trip to Lord Bao and is waiting for his conclusion.

  Bao Zheng stroked his beard thoughtfully, "Judge Huang has indeed handled the case with great care, but the Grand Preceptor has submitted a memorial to His Majesty, accusing Judge Huang of dereliction of duty. His Majesty has ordered this court to take Judge Huang into custody."

  "At this time, the arrest is under his jurisdiction, and I'm afraid things may change midway." Zhan Zhao said with some concern.

  Gongsun Ce smiled and said: "I think it's unlikely."

  "What does Mr. Gong Sun think?" Bao Zheng had always held Gong Sun Ce in high esteem, so he naturally wanted to hear his views.

  Gongsun Zan said: "Although Zhang Huo is about to be arrested, sir, have you forgotten who we just met?"

  "Fat Maiden?" Bao Gong was uncertain.

  "No, it's Bai Yutang." Zhan Zhao has come to his senses.

  Bao Zheng understood, but still had some concerns. "But this Bai Yutang is a proud and aloof person, how can he be willing to cooperate with this matter?"

  Zhan Zhao lowered his head and smiled slightly, saying: "I thought he would cooperate."

  Gongsun Ce also smiled and said: "I think he will cooperate too."

  "Why is this?"

  Gongsun Ce said: "Sir may not have noticed, but Bai Yutang has always been following behind Miss Pong."

  Bao Zheng gave Zhan Zhao a look.

  Zhan Zhao: "Sir——" Is something wrong?

  Gongsun Ce lowered his head and smiled secretly, "Since Bai Yutang intervened earlier, he must not be standing idly by now either. Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed us to this place."

  Bao Zheng couldn't help but smile, "That's also true."

  Then, after Old Bao and his two companions came out of the study room after their secret discussion, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were arrested.

  Bai Yutang couldn't help but gloat a little, "Zhan Zhao, you're always catching thieves, now you've become a prisoner yourself, I suppose it's quite a taste?"

  Zhan Zhao hadn't even had a chance to speak, when Lu Xiao Feng was already sarcastically saying: "Bai Xiao Wu, you must have felt even more deeply than him back then when you stole the three treasures and were treated like a street rat?"

  Bai Yutang didn't get angry but instead smiled, and said leisurely: "Fifth Master, I've lost face, have you gained face now that we're sworn brothers?"

  "I have a relationship with you that's worth one cent, I'm warning you, Bai Xiaowu. I don't acknowledge this sworn brotherhood." You're already stranded on the island with five mice, add me and it's not just mice, we're ranked sixth.

  Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu, Yan Xiao Liu, is it easy for you to act out of character like in "The Legend of the Condor Hero"?

  Bao Zheng and Gong Sun exchanged a glance, somewhat unclear about the inside story.

  Zhan Zhao was also unclear about the situation, "Sworn brothers?" He looked at Lu Xiaofeng.

  Lu Xiaofeng first hummed a sound to Bai Yutang, then said: "This guy thinks I have a common interest with him and insists on making me his sworn brother. Hey, Zhan Zhao, what do I have in common with him? Do I share any similarities with him?"

  Bao Zheng and others: Yes!

  Unexpectedly, after some careful thought, this girl actually has some similarities with Jin Maoshu Bai Yutang.

  "Look, everyone has taken it for granted." Bai Yutang smiled smugly.

  "What's wrong with that?" Lu Xiaofeng had another insight, "They think it's too absurd and don't know what expression or language to use to express their feelings."

  Everyone: ……

  "Right, I remembered. Lu Xiaofeng pulled down the jade pendant from his waist and stuffed it into Zhan Zhao's hand, "This thing, give you."

  People reacted differently.

  Those who knew the inside story, such as Bai Yutang and Xiao He, sympathized with Zhan Zhao's deep feelings being poured into the ditch.

  Those who don't know the inside story, like Bao Zheng and others: why does it feel like there's a bit of private transaction going on?

  Ah, no, this is an open and aboveboard transaction.

  Gongsun Ce suddenly felt that the jade pendant seemed a bit familiar, and couldn't help but glance at Zhan Zhao's honest face.

  "Are you in such a hurry to give it back to me?"

  "Nonsense, of course I'm anxious." It's like a time bomb, the sooner the better.

  Zhan Zhao let out a soft sigh.

  Little Phoenix Maiden sensitively received the unfavorable glances from the four great marshals of Kaifeng Prefecture.

  Then, Little Phoenix suddenly thought of a possibility - could it be that they thought this was her token of love with Xian Xiao Mao, and now that Xian Xiao Mao is in trouble, they're eager to clear their relationship and prioritize self-preservation?

  Have to say, Xiaofeng girl except for some time, actually always reacted quite quickly.

  "Alright, I'll keep it for you for another two days. You can have it back when you come out." Little Phoenix unexpectedly took the jade pendant back again.

  "Thank you, miss."

  Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt he had done something very foolish!

  Has she also become a well with two mouths, both horizontal and vertical?
