long moon smiles in the sky

Chapter 22 Encounter, Rescue and Coincidence

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hurried to the Privy Council, and when they heard that Gongsun hadn't come, both of them were puzzled, didn't they go first, why did they come late?Just as I was about to look back, I saw a signal flare igniting in the sky above the suburbs in the distance...

"Oops!" Zhan Zhao raised his foot and ran towards the direction where the signal flare rose, "Gongsun has an accident!"

Bai Yutang quickly followed.

Besides, Shuo Gong said that a flare in the sky not only attracted the attention of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, but also the attention of those men in white who were carrying the sedan chair.I heard one of the orders say, "Don't want the sedan chair, take someone with you and leave quickly!"

Several subordinates put down the sedan chair, ran over and pulled Gongsun out of the sedan chair.

After Gongsun stumbled and was pulled out, he raised his hand and pierced the silver needle hidden in his sleeve into the numb point on the elbow of the person who grabbed him. When the hand went numb, Gongsun took the opportunity to push him away, turned around and walked back. run.The man in command gave the pierced man in white a hard look, and roared, "You trash, you can't even catch a scholar!" After finishing speaking, Fei stepped forward to block Gongsun's way, and he was not polite, and raised his hand. He grabbed Gongsun's arm with his hand, how could Gongsun avoid it, he was caught straight, the man struck hard, the pain made Gongsun tremble...

"You'd better be honest!" The man dragged Gongsun and wanted to leave, but suddenly heard a slow voice, "Didn't everyone say that Kaifeng is safe? If you don't pick up things on the road and don't close your house at night, why are there people robbing people in broad daylight?"

Those people in white were shocked when they heard it. It wasn't that what they said was scary, but where the person who said it was, they couldn't figure it out... It can be seen that this person's internal strength is above everyone else.While walking around in place, I heard a voice say, "Here, look up."

Several men in white clothes and Gongsun looked up looking for the sound, and saw a person squatting on a tree with a crooked neck near the road in the nearby forest.This man was dressed in ordinary black and was carrying a fishing rod. At first glance, he looked like a nearby fisherman, but upon closer inspection, he had a dignified bearing, and the fisherman probably wasn't so good at it!

The men in white looked at each other, and the leader threw Gongsun to the two behind him, and said to the man in black on the tree, "Who is it, mind your own business!"

The man in black smiled slightly, and said, "Why do so many people who know kung fu make things difficult for a scholar?"

"They are members of the White Clothes Sect." Gongsun said, "Doing evil."

"Teacher in white?" The man in black touched his chin thoughtfully.

"Shut up!" A person next to Gongsun's arm squeezed hard, causing Gongsun to frown in pain.

"Hey, I'm a scholar, why don't you be gentle?" After finishing speaking, the man in black jumped down from the tree and asked Gongsun, "Do you want me to save you?"

The tone of the man in black seemed to be joking, a little teasing, Gongsun Xin said, save as long as you want, there is nothing more to ask.But a hero doesn't suffer immediate losses, no matter whether he can save himself or not, it's good to resist for a while, Zhan Zhao probably will arrive soon.Although he didn't want to ask for help, Gongsun still nodded slightly.The man stared blankly at Gongsun's nodding, then laughed, and said to those white-clothed humans, "Boy, let him go!"

A man in white at the head signaled his two subordinates to take Gongsun to go first, and he led the two men to face the man in black with his sword drawn.The man in black grabbed the fishing rod for a few rounds and beat the men in white to the ground. When he turned around, he saw the two men in white grabbing Gongsun and rushing into the woods, so he also chased after them.

The men in white struggled to get up, and before they could stand still, they saw Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang chasing them not far away, they said badly, and they hurriedly fled into the woods on the other side.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw Gongsun's sedan chair and several men in white fleeing from a distance, and they all frowned.

"Mao'er, he looks like someone taught in white clothes!" Bai Yutang said.

"Too bad, I don't know what purpose they have in arresting Mr." Zhan Zhaoyi jumped into the forest, "Yutang, catch the alive!"

……

At the other end, Gongsun was dragged into the woods by two men in white. The man in black caught up with him in a few steps. He kicked up the stones on the ground, grabbed two of them, and threw them at the backs of the two men in white. past.

After the two men in white were thrown, one staggered and let go. They were walking downhill at this time. Gongsun was already struggling. Get down.

"Ah!" The man in black was taken aback, he probably forgot that Gongsun is a weak scholar, or a nerd who usually walks with uncoordinated hands and feet. He just rolled down, there was a river at the bottom of the mountain, he was still fishing there just now, so he hurried to catch up.But Gongsun's body was light, and after a few turns, he rolled down the mountain and fell directly into the river with a "plop".

"Oops!" The man in black ran to the river without thinking too much. He threw the fishing rod and jumped into the water. It took him a while to pick him up and walked to the shore.

Gongsun drank a few sips of water, coughed a few times, and panted slightly. He was dizzy before, but he became even more dizzy when he rolled down the hillside.

The man in black reached out and patted his cheek, and asked, "Are you all right?"

"Ahem..." Gongsun coughed again, unable to speak.The man in black leaned over to have a look, thought for a while, and said, "Could it be that he's about to drown? How about giving you a breath?"

Gongsun was startled when he heard this, and said to himself that I have not lost my breath, who wants you to breathe out? I just wanted to argue a few words, but the man couldn't help saying that he had already touched him, and his lips were pressed against Gongsun's, not so much as breathing. It's more like kissing him.

Gongsun wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak because his voice was stuck in his throat. He only saw a mischievous smile in the corner of the person in front of him, his blood surged up instantly, and he passed out as soon as his eyes went dark.

"Did you faint like that?" The man touched his chin, looked at the wet Gongsun, and said, "Take you back." After speaking, he picked up the man and walked quickly into the depths of the forest.

……

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang caught the men in white. At first they were stubborn, but after being beaten up, they had to confess that they had captured Gongsun, but they were saved by a man in black with a fishing rod.

"The man in black?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, thinking that this is a bad situation. If Gongsun is captured by the white-clothed sect, he will chase after the red-clothed sect or Mohua Palace. In short, there is a goal , but a man in black appeared out of nowhere, where can I find him?

"Where did they go?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Go to the forest over there!" After the man in white finished speaking, Bai Yutang tapped his acupuncture points, grabbed him and placed him on a high branch.

"I'll take it away when I come back later, go find Gongsun first." Just as Bai Yutang finished speaking, Zhan Zhao had already disappeared.

"Cat!" Bai Yutang hurried after him.

Zhan Zhao blamed himself while running, why did he get into a fight with Bai Yutang so early in the morning, he even forgot the serious things, if something happened to Gongsun, what should he do?

Bai Yutang felt annoyed when he followed behind, wondering if the white-clothed teacher had become a goddamn jerk or something, as soon as he and the cat walked away they started tossing about.Turning around, seeing Zhan Zhao's self-blaming face, Bai Yutang felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, and said, "Cat, don't worry, since they want to catch Mr. Gongsun, they must keep alive, and nothing will happen!"

Zhan Zhao turned his head to look at Bai Yutang, and suddenly a word popped into his head, raised his hand and pointed at Bai Yutang, and said, "White mouse, white face is a disaster!"

After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he ran forward. Bai Yutang was stunned for a long time before realizing what he meant, and his hairs stood on end with anger.Raising his feet to catch up, he saw Zhan Zhao squatting on the bank of the river, picking up a white sash that was half submerged in the water, and said with a mournful face, "Yutang, did he fall into the river?"

"Isn't it?!" Bai Yutang was immediately dumbfounded, it's okay to tell them both to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, but the only thing they don't know is water, Bai Yutang gets a headache when he sees water, looking at Zhan Zhao, "Then what should I do? "

Zhan Zhao also turned around in a hurry, and suddenly saw a string of wet footprints on the river bank next to him.

"Ah, it didn't fall!" Zhan Zhao was both surprised and happy, and chased after the footprints. Bai Yutang also heaved a sigh of relief, and hurried to catch up.

……

In the depths of the forest, there is a small bamboo attic. Under the attic, there is a horse and several barking dogs.Above the attic was a curtained hut with closed windows.Inside the window, a small bonfire was burning on a stone platform. On the bonfire were two bamboo poles, on which two sets of clothes were drying, one black and one white.

Not far from the stone platform, there was a rattan bed. Sitting beside the bed was a man in black, who had changed into dry clothes. He was no longer that fisherman, but looked like a nobleman, with a crown on his head and one hand holding his hand. Leaning his chin against the edge of the bed, he was staring at the person lying on the bed with great interest.

It was Gongsun who was lying on the bed.At this time, Gongsun's hair was slightly disheveled, half-wet and half-dry scattered on the pillow, his face was pale, his lips were a touch of vermilion, his eyes were closed, his breathing was very gentle, he seemed to be asleep...his body was covered with a white The blanket, and the smooth and white shoulders exposed outside, showed that he was not wearing any clothes.

After looking at it for a while, the man in black stretched out his hand and gently grabbed a strand of Gongsun's hair, and gently swept Gongsun's eyebrows with the tip of his hair.

After a while, Gongsun frowned slightly and woke up slowly.As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a string of bamboo wind chimes on the ceiling, swaying with the wind, tinkling non-stop.Gongsun stared at the string of wind chimes in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Heh..." A man's laughter suddenly came from beside him, Gongsun was slightly taken aback, and turned his face, only to see the man in black.

"Are you awake?" The man in black smiled slightly and said, "The clothes are not dry yet, let's lie down for a while."

Only then did Gongsun come to his senses, and when he looked down, he was covered with a fluffy wool blanket... Then he realized that he was actually naked.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at the people around him, and saw that he was cutting a small pillar with a small knife. He cut a few times, picked it up to have a look, and cut a few more times. Seriously.

Gongsun's face was slightly hot, he got up wrapped in a blanket, and said, "You...give me the clothes."

"It's not dry yet." The man smiled slightly, reached out and rubbed Gongsun's wet hair, "the hair is not..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his face to look outside, and said, "It's chasing you again." ? These two skills are amazing!"

Gongsun was taken aback, and saw the man in black "shush" him, motioning him to be quiet, raised his hand to pick up the fishing rod next to him, and jumped out of the attic.

After Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang entered the forest, they searched separately. Bai Yutang turned around a bamboo forest and saw the small attic. Just as he was about to go in, a man in black rushed out of it.

When the man in black saw the man in white, he mistakenly thought he was with the group just now, and rushed up immediately.

When Bai Yutang saw that he couldn't help but attack, he stepped aside and raised his knife to block the man.When the man in black saw Bai Yutang's knife, he was taken aback for a moment. Bai Yutang also remembered what the man in white said just now that the man in black with the fishing rod saved Gongsun, so he said, "You saved Gongsun?"

The man just smiled and didn't speak. He threw the fishing rod and attacked him. Bai Yutang couldn't stand provocation, so when he saw someone attacking him, he attacked him.

When Zhan Zhao heard the commotion here, he also ran over. Seeing that the two were fighting lively, he didn't intervene, so he flew up to the attic, and saw Gongsun lying there.

"Mr. Gongsun!" Zhan Zhao was surprised and delighted, and rushed over to ask, "Are you all right?"

"No." Gongsun shook his head, wrapped himself in a blanket, and said, "Who is fighting outside?"

"It's Yutang and the one in black." Zhan Zhao replied casually, noticing that Gongsun was naked, and glanced curiously.

Gongsun's face was hot, and he felt ashamed, so he said, "Quickly tell them not to fight, it's a misunderstanding, the man in black saved me."

"Oh." Zhan Zhao nodded, ran to the window, and shouted to the people below, "Yutang, stop beating, sir is fine, that man saved him."

As soon as the words fell, the man in black stopped his move and jumped out of the circle, and said with a smile, "Fifth Master is good at work."

Bai Yutang also withdrew his move, looked up and down for a while, wondering in his heart, this man's kung fu is very good, but there seems to be no such person in the world.

Just at this time, a boy on a horse ran out of the forest, rushed into the forest, got off his horse and gave the man in black his luggage, saying, "Second young master, the Grand Master calls you back to the residence."

The man in black picked up the fishing rod somewhat disappointedly, and said, "Understood." Turning his head, he cupped his hands at Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao who had gone down to the attic, and said, "Drink when you have time." After finishing speaking, he seemed to be flying on a horse gone.

When the people walked away, Bai Yutang stroked his chin and asked Zhan Zhao, "Mao'er, that servant just called him the second young master, and said the grand master told him to go back to the residence?"

Zhan Zhao also thought for a while, and said, "Oh, he is the Flying Star General Pang Tong who returned to court just yesterday... the king of Zhongzhou."

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I heard about the one who beat Yeluzhen and fled?"

"En." Zhan Zhao nodded, "It should be him, Pang Ji's second son."

"..." Bai Yutang was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly said, "The old crab's ancestral grave is smoking? Or is Mrs. Pang living with someone else?"

"Go!" Zhan Zhao stared at Bai Yutang dumbfounded.At this time, Gongsun had already changed his clothes and came down from the attic. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. It was a false alarm, but the appointment with the Privy Council had already passed, so let's go back to Kaifeng mansion together.
