Tide beat empty city

Chapter 9 The Son's Far

Seeing Gongsun Ce inside, the young man called out 'Fifth Master' before he was about to kneel down, but Bai Yutang raised his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "You are not my follower anymore, so you don't need to kneel. Tell Fifth Master to give birth to more. From now on, I'll call him Fifth Brother."

The young man looked up in panic, looked at him, then at Zhan Zhao, lowered his head and remained silent.

Bai Yutang laughed again: "Look at what he's doing. Fifth Lord recognizes a brother, and he also asked the people in the government?"

Seeing that the young man didn't dare to speak, Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "It's just a title. Brother Bai, why bother the child."

Bai Yutang smiled at him: "Brother Zhan is so magnanimous. That's right, I'm a member of the Jianghu, and I don't care about these small details. I don't need 'Fifth Brother' at all, just call 'Yutang'?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but change color.Want to say something, finally hold back.He walked to the side and sat down, brought a tea bowl, but forgot to drink it.He lowered his head and coughed twice.

Hearing this, the young man immediately fell to his knees: "Fifth Brother is Yongnian's benefactor. Fifth Brother wants me to address him, and I will do it. Don't dare to call him directly, as it violates Fifth Brother's name."

Bai Yutang laughed, and stretched out his hand to support him: "What a considerate child. Get up, Fifth Brother will take you away. After leaving this dark yamen, there will be a mother-in-law and a Dong Hen."

Gongsun Ce smiled wryly when he heard this: when did he offend this ancestor again?Shaking his head, let's wait and see what happens next.

The young man raised his head and remained silent, his eyes showing sorrow.Bai Yutang smiled when he saw it and said, "When we parted ways with me the day before yesterday, you were so straightforward; but it's only been a few days, and you've stopped moving. But why did Fifth Brother treat you so slowly?"

The young man hurriedly shook his head: "No. Fifth Brother, please wait a moment, Rong Yongnian bids farewell."

When he said that, he turned slightly on his knees and kowtowed to Gongsun Ce.He took off the jade pendant around his neck and held it with Zhan Zhao, holding his palms together, as if he wanted to engrave him into it: "It was left by my father. It will be gone forever, and I will be a human being in the next life. I will not use it in the future. Give it to you. Knock twice, get up, stand on the side of the hall door and wait.

Bai Yutang looked at it coldly, and ridiculed in his heart: If you are acting, I will do everything with you.Say something to Gongsun and Sun, "There will be a period later", and go forward to hold the young man's hand.

Zhan Zhao raised his voice and said "Wait a minute", walked up to him in a few steps, and nodded to him: "Brother Bai, let me ask him." Ignoring Bai Yutang's playful gaze, he handed the jade pendant back to the young man, and said gently, "Family biography It is inconvenient for Zhan to collect the things. You are welcome to take them, and if you are reborn as human beings, Mr. Gongsun and I feel very happy."

The young man didn't take it with his back, shook his head and said: "There is no human relationship, what are you still keeping things for. You don't want it, just smash it."

As if a knife had been stabbed in his heart, Zhan Zhao couldn't help taking two steps back, and all kinds of feelings surged in his heart.

Bai Yutang was furious when he heard the words, he picked up the boy's front and shouted: "The boy's speech is so vicious! Who are you going to smash?"

The young man opened his wronged eyes wide and pursed his lips without making a sound.

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to separate Bai Yutang, and he must have said to him: "Yongnian, if you want to hate, no one can do anything about it. I'm afraid that if you hate to the end, you will still hurt yourself. I will ask Brother Bai for help, and I will take you to find relatives. It is to make you get together with your family and no longer wander alone; is this also our conspiracy to harm you? It is right and wrong, from now on, you can do it yourself." When he said that, he put the jade pendant on the case and turned to go out.

Tears welled up in the boy's eyes, and he reached out to hold a corner of his shirt: "You want me to go, I dare not say no. It's just my father, I'm afraid he will kill me anyway. I went to reincarnate this time, and no one will remember it in the future." Who is it? It’s not because of lack of affection? I’m not afraid that you will blame me if I said something wrong; I’m afraid that if you don’t say anything, you will be sulky. I’ll take the jade pendant away, so don’t hurt yourself…”

Bai Yutang sneered at first, but now he was so impatient, he said "Mr. Gongsun, I leave this to you", pulled Zhan Zhao back and left.

After passing through several courtyards, Bai Yutang turned around and asked, "What is the cat thinking?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and replied, "Naturally, I want to know what the truth is."

Bai Yutang couldn't help sneering again: "It's true, it's false, it's false. It doesn't matter how old you are, it's a person who really wants to be ambitious."

Zhan Zhao laughed and said, "It's nonsense to distinguish between true and false. Are you afraid, Brother Bai?" Before he could get mad, he said, "Besides, you have already handed over to Mr. Gongsun. Instead of you and me waiting around, why don't you go out and have a drink or two? ,how?"

As the ice thawed, Bai Yutang immediately tugged at him with joy, "What are you waiting for? Let's go! Sly and lazy cat."

Drinking hot, Bai Yutang ordered the waiter to open the window, and the autumn wind blew through the window with a faint coolness.

An old pagoda tree outside the window, its branches and crowns that have accumulated time spread out in the air, providing overlapping and fine leaves, testing it up and down, and knocking on the window lattice.

In summer, I also sit by the window with Zhan Zhao, the tree is full of flowers.Bai Yutang remembered breaking off a bunch of white flowers and sticking them under the cat's nose, teasingly asking him to smell them.

He smiled and shook his head, but still complied.

Bai Yutang saw in Huaiyin and Xiaoxi that day that the intoxication blooming in the depths of his pupils was the fascination and surprise that he no longer concealed.Just for a split second.

You don't know when he suddenly looks like two different people.Getting along is like an illusion, confused and fragrant; he knows that even if the season changes, he still can't extricate himself.

Bai Yutang asked: "Cats like the smell of flowers or wine?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Zhan doesn't know elegance, and can't remember many fragrances. Things are different, and each has its own merits."

That is all like it.Bai Yutang took a sip from his cup and stopped talking.

Zhan Zhao was amazed and couldn't help but said, "Brother Bai, there aren't many chatters today."

It's really a vengeful cat.After giving him a blank look, Bai Yutang said casually, "There's no need to fight with an ax against a mother-in-law's cat."

The white mouse must know that anger is the cause of evil, and there is no time to repay grievances.But he is not afraid.Zhan Zhao kept silent, what could he do with him.

Bai Yutang continued to think about the fragrance of flowers and wine.I think of the big pagoda tree in Mohua Village, under which my daughter Hong is buried.Ding Da and Ding Er never knew that when he was young, he secretly dug an altar, and Ding Saner acted as an internal response.If the remaining ones are not unearthed, if they are waiting for the flowering season, when they are unsealed, they will not know what kind of aroma they will be mixed with, or whether they are aromas.

Don't expect him to remember exactly what you think.Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao who was drinking by himself, and was too lazy to mention Mohua Village.Those eyes are now stable and peaceful, like the night sky after fireworks, making people unable to trust the burning and throbbing even a moment ago.

Like it all, don't you like none of it?You don't have to choose, you can easily pick up and give up at the same time.

Everyone has their own place, so they don't remember a lot.It's as dull as life itself.

Going back in silence all the way, seeing the plaque of Kaifeng Mansion, Bai Yutang felt happy again.He stopped and turned his head to laugh: "Cat, I figured it out."

Zhan Zhao didn't ask what he figured out. He stood still and waited for him to rub his head with his long black hair. He grabbed his belt with his hands and felt aggrieved: "But I may not be able to do it. I'm not a god."

It turns out that you know that you are not a fairy.Zhan Zhao patted him on the back and comforted him, "Just do your best. If you don't regret it in the future, that's fine."

Bai Yutang rested his chin on his shoulder and nodded vigorously.

In the silent starlight, the wind lifted two hair ends, unable to get entangled.

After entering the study and finding Gongsun Ce, the scholar said with a sullen face, "The two of you are hiding in the quiet, why don't you just hide from the dawn. If you disturb people in the middle of the night, I don't remember any outstanding debts."

Bai Yutang snatched the words: "Mr. Gongsun, you can do a lot of work, and we stay here as a decoration. If you don't consciously make room, it's embarrassing for others, and you don't feel happy when you cry."

Gongsun Ce nodded: "It turned out that Young Master Bai went out to cry. What sad things happened, can I help you explain a thing or two?"

Zhan Zhao pulled Bai Yutang, who was at the critical point, behind him, and made a big bow: "Sir calm down, Zhan Zhao apologizes here. But there are orders, brother Bai and I will obey." Thinking to himself, Mr. Gongsun Where did Xianxin bicker with the mouse.I thought he wanted me to listen to him, so it doesn't matter if I listen.

Gongsun Ce lamented that a cat can become a sperm after being with a mouse for a long time.Shaking his head, he said, "Guard Zhan is serious. Let me tell you the whole story, and then make a decision."

The other half of the boy Yongnian, he said Yu Ze said: his father's surname is Yuwen, and his distant ancestors are generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty.At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the country was established, and the Yuwen family became a minister in the north. The imperial court granted the title of king of Nanyue, and he was in charge of all political and agricultural affairs in the area under his jurisdiction.When his father, Yuwen Chongming, was the crown prince, he was fond of traveling and traveling through the Middle Earth, and had a dewy marriage with his mother.The love didn't last long, and the king of Nanyue passed away a few months later. Chongming ordered his attendant Yu Ze to stay behind to take care of his lover, and he hurriedly resigned to succeed him.Afterwards the news was cut off, Yu Ze didn't dare to make a decision and went back to the South without authorization, and he didn't know why Chongming failed to reunite his mother and son as promised, so he had to marry the mistress to the Tang Mansion as a slave.

That day Yu Ze was determined to flee. First, Tang Di became murderous when he knew about the turmoil in Beijing;He was worried that if he didn't go back again, the matter of Lao Wang's ascension to immortality and Yongnian's acknowledgment of his ancestors would disappear without evidence.

The young man couldn't tell the reason for the appearance of the dead man.Yu Ze speculated that it was a drama of power struggle.

After listening, Bai Yutang made up his mind: "Bai sent him back. Mr. Gongsun, do you agree with this?"

Gongsun Ce nodded and shook his head again, silent.

Looking over the two of them, Bai Yutang smiled and said: "Since Bai has let go, he will never take it back. Let's discuss it together. I have something to do at home. Please leave first." He cupped his hands and left as soon as he said it.

Watching him go out from the back, Zhan Zhao thought, you know this, it's not as simple as a word.Looking back at Gongsun Ce, his eyes turned a thousand times.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Gongsun Ce laughed: "You're so smart, you're right in one sentence. It really makes people speechless." His hope was right, but his little hope was nothing.I am so humble that I dare not say to God, please help me.

Zhan Zhao smiled: "So what Mister wants me to hear is this. Mister..."

Gongsun Ce raised his hand not to let him continue: "I know that he is not a commoner, and this matter will eventually alarm the audience. But before this, can it, can it..."

Zhan Zhao shook his head: "I can't hide it. I'm afraid the emperor knows a lot more than you and I. He tried his best to suppress this matter that day, and he probably has other secrets. I just realized it later."

Gongsun Ce nodded and sighed, "If that's the case, it's God's will. I just want you to say something. If possible, don't fight with Young Master Bai. Let him go."

Zhan Zhao thought to himself, Mr. You are not protecting your weaknesses, Bai Yutang is the treasure of the family, how can you just say let him go.But he was also grateful, and said with a smile: "Sir, the wings are so wide, is Dang Zhan Zhao a child? Am I not as good as Bai Yutang, why can't I go when he goes?"

Gongsun Ce glared at him: "Why are you pretending to be understated? You still think I'm really old. That kid clearly has deep obsessions. If you continue to deal with him, I'm afraid it won't bear good results."

Zhan Zhao shook his head and smiled, "Sir, don't be in a hurry. Zhan Zhao doesn't force himself to stand out, I agree with you."

When he came out, Zhan Zhao bowed his head and thought, Mr. Gongsun is not a naive person, let alone ignorant of the current situation.The reason to wake me up today is to let me be clear about my heart and face it directly.Thinking of this, looking up, the sky was overwhelmed by dark clouds, as if it was about to collapse at any time.The black shadows of trees all around him swayed with unrelenting ferocity.Unknowingly, he came to the boy's door.

There are many things in the world that are just unconscious at first.Staying in the dark for a while, Zhan Zhao knocked on the door with his finger.

The boy opened the door, rushed forward without any hesitation, and hugged her full.

Don't hesitate to use up your life's strength.

Still can't push it away.Zhan Zhao secretly sighed, and said softly, "Let go first, let me in. I'm tired of standing."

Hearing that the boy turned his arm, he took his arm.Clinging to the temperature goes with him.

The boy refused to sit down, and kept holding him silently and stubbornly.The stubborn and sad expression on his face made the preaching collapse at the touch of a touch, making it absurd and meaningless.

Zhan Zhao felt a little irony, so how could he not reap the fruit of himself if he threw himself into his door.

Prepared arguments are useless until they are spoken.Simply stare at him silently, believing that silence can hold thousands.

The boy gradually softened his body and knelt at his feet.He buried his head and said in a muffled voice, "I miss you."

Zhan Zhao is helpless.After thinking about it, he said calmly, "Yongnian, you're using your heart in the wrong place."

The young man raised his head: "What's wrong? I didn't harm others."

Zhan Zhao said: "If you continue, you will harm yourself. You have your own way, you shouldn't watch yourself ruin it with your own hands."

The boy shook his head: "If there is no you on the road, I would rather let it be ruined."

Zhan Zhao said angrily: "Your parents gave birth to you, heaven and earth bless you, how can you be so contemptible? Too selfish."

The boy didn't speak, and said for a long time: "I'm not good. Don't be angry."

Zhan Zhao's heart softened, and he stretched out his hand to caress his head and neck: "After returning home, don't be so willful again. Do you understand?"

The young man's throat tightened, and he said in a trembling voice: "You will be killed if you are self-willed, right?" With the words out, tears could no longer be suppressed: "Where is that place, I never want to go. He doesn't care who his father is. Me, why should I care about him. Why do you force me to go, why do you have to be you..."

Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, and said patiently: "Everyone has a responsibility to bear in this world; such a fate, one can only move forward, and no one can retreat. Why do I want you to study and practice martial arts? I just want you to go Take this path, don’t run away, don’t regret it. You still haven’t understood…”

The young man looked at him with tears in his eyes, and suddenly interjected: "I understand. Now you are the only one who can tell me what Uncle Yu said. He is dead, and it is useless for me to think about it; but you are clearly here, why can't I think?"

Zhan Zhao stroked his forehead, suddenly didn't know how to continue.Indifference and obsession may only be separated and forgotten day by day.He got up and sighed, "I've been tired all day, go to bed first. Tomorrow..."

Tomorrow you will meet someone new, tell you the truth, it is worth your miss.That's what he thought as he went out.Talk to people and to yourself.
