Chapter 12: The Imperial Cat and the Mouse Know Each Other's Past, Galloping Horses Rush Towards Bianliang City

  "Hu Rui, I didn't expect you to still recognize me!" Bai Yutang smiled lightly, and with a flick of his wrist, the folding fan in his hand opened with a soft whooshing sound, and the four characters "Wind Flowing Throughout the World" dazzled Xian Zhao's eyes!

  That housekeeper-like person smiled obsequiously, "Ah, ah, how could I not recognize Young Master Bai Wu? It's just that earlier, in the heat of the moment, I didn't see Young Master Bai Wu. Are you tired, Young Master? Let's take a walk and rest for a bit in the living room!" The voice was so sycophantic that it made Xianzhao's hair stand on end!

  "I don't know if it's because of White Wu's arrival, but I've been offended!" Hu Rui said with a flattering smile to Bai Yutang in the great hall!

  Bai Yutang waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to say more. Hu Rui turned his head to look at Zhan Zhao and said, "This young hero is also elegant and handsome, but is he a friend of the fifth master? I wonder if you can tell me his name?"

  "He's a stinky cat from Kaifeng Prefecture!" Bai Yutang said with a sly glint in his eye.

  Hu Rui was stunned, Stinky Cat, Kaifeng Prefecture, what's going on, wait a minute, Kaifeng Prefecture, could it be that Southern Hero Xuan Zhao, the Imperial Cat Xuan Zhao appointed by the Emperor himself?

  Hurry up and get up, bowing his hands to Zhan Zhao, "Is the lord the Southern Knight Zhan Zhao?"

  Zhan Zhao nodded slightly, and Bai Yutang chuckled, "The cat's martial arts skills are only about 10-20% utilized, otherwise you would have been knocked out long ago!"

  Zhan Zhao's heart slightly moved, knowing that Bai Yutang was speaking for himself. He smiled at Bai Yutang and didn't say much!

  "Hurry up and call out Liu Keyan," said Bai Yutang, waving his folding fan, "I want to see him!"

  Hu Rui's face changed, and he let out a sigh, saying, "Fifth Master, this is exactly where we need your help!"

  Bai Yutang's beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and she said, "You need my help, no wonder when you saw Wu Ye earlier, although there was a look of shock on your face, there was also a hint of joy!"

  "It seems that something has happened to Liu Keyan, and you are at a loss for what to do, so you shifted your attention to me, Wu Ye! White Yutang suddenly closed his fan in his hand and smiled, "Anyway, Wu Ye came to find Liu Keyan also had something to ask about, but this matter can only be asked of him. Speak, what exactly happened?"

  Zhan Zhao nodded slightly in agreement with Bai Yutang's view!

  "Hu Rui let out a sigh and said, 'Fifth Master, our family's master has been taken away by someone!'"

  Bai Yutang's expression changed slightly as he asked, "What's going on?"

  "A while ago, someone came to our house and asked my father to introduce a hitman. Then, my father introduced them to the Butcher Brothers. Yesterday, two people suddenly showed up and took my father away, saying that when the matter is settled and the person who's supposed to die has died, they'll let my father come back!" Hu Rui said with a furrowed brow.

  Zhan Zhao furrowed his brow and began to ponder, while Bai Yutang tapped his fan in his hand and said, "Miao'er, what do you think?"

  Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Hu Rui, what characteristics did the person who came to your house to see your father have?"

  Hu Rui thought for a moment and said, "I don't know that person, but he has bright eyes and sword-like eyebrows, wearing a green robe. Ah, yes! He seems to be wearing official boots on his feet!"

  "Official boots?" Zhan Zhao hesitated, "Could it be someone from the official residence?"

  "Where is your master now?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Didn't you stop them when they came to arrest people at that time?"

  Hu Rui let out a bitter laugh, "How could I not have stopped them? It was those two who made their move after I was instantly sealed with acupressure points and had my long sword placed directly at the old master's neck. Then, they took the old master away. Now, I don't even know where the old master is, but I also can't let others know that the old master isn't here, so I can only tell outsiders that the old master doesn't see guests... Now that Bai Wuya and Nan Xia have arrived, I think it should be possible to rescue my family's old master!"

  "I understand." Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "What about the Butcher Brothers?"

  Hu Rui let out a sigh and said, "After those two brothers, the Butcher, were introduced by my family's old master, they never appeared again. I heard that Nan Xiaozhao has already entered the public gate. So, it seems that Nan Xiaozhao has encountered some case related to the Butcher brothers?"

  Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "Understood, I'll do my best to rescue Liu Keyan. Let's go, Bai!"

  "Where are you going, kitten?" "Nan Xia, where are you all going?" Bai Yutang and Hu Rui asked in unison!

  "Go find Liu Keyan and Xiangshi brothers!" Zhan Zhao said calmly, "Bai brother, hurry up and leave, if it's late, I'm afraid that Liu Keyan will be silenced!"

  Bai Yutang suddenly stopped, his body swiftly floating to the front of Zhan Zhao, grabbing his arm and directly using his lightness skill to fly out of the Liu family's gate!

  Hu Rui was stunned and stood there, rushing out, but he could no longer see the figures of Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao!

  "Brother Bai, quickly go find the horses, then we'll hurry back to Kaifeng Prefecture Bianliang as soon as possible!" Zhang Zhao shouted.

  Bai Yutang nodded and rushed towards the center of the market!

  Bai Yutang wore a white robe, riding a snow-white horse, Zhan Zhao wore a blue robe, riding a brown horse, the two of them galloped all the way to Bianliang.

  "Kitten, why are you in such a hurry to go to Bianliang?" Bai Yutang shouted on horseback. "You've been shouting about wanting to rush back to Bianliang since you were at the Liu's house, what's going on?"

  "Second Brother Bai, you also heard it just now at the Liu Manor." Zhang Zhao shouted with his hands tightly grasping the horse's mane, "Liu Keyan was taken away, saying that she would only be released after the damned person died. Moreover, the Butcher Brothers were introduced by Liu Keyan herself!"

  "And what's more, the person who came to take away Liu Keyan was wearing official boots!" Zhang Zhao said. "Official boots, that person must be from the government, and on Trap Island, I once hypothesized that perhaps the purpose of stealing the Shangfang Treasure Sword was for Lord Bao, and that person said they would wait until the damned person died before returning Liu Keyan, can't you guess what it is, White brother?!"

  Bai Yutang's expression turned stern, and he said, "Cat, you mean to say that the so-called 'despicable person' refers to Bao Daren? And all your analysis is true, then the one who took away Liu Keyan is the same person who stole the Shangfang Treasure Sword?"

  "Not bad, all the relevant signs point to one thing. Now everything is aimed at Bao Daren. Once the crime of deceiving the king is confirmed, Bao Daren will definitely die!" Zhan Zhao exclaimed in a loud voice, "We quickly hurry back to Bianliang, hoping that Lu Dage and others have already received news about the Shangfangbaojian!"

  "Enough of this nonsense, let's go!" Bai Yutang slapped the folding fan in his hand on the horse, and the white stallion suddenly turned into a white shadow, galloping away into the distance!

  Zhan Zhao's face turned pale as he watched Bai Yutang rush away, his whole body covered in black lines. No, no, no... Bai Haozi, your horsemanship is great! Yeah, I've just learned to ride a horse...

  However, at the critical moment, he couldn't help himself and also accelerated forward, his whole body tightly attached to the horse's back, his hands tightly hugging the horse's neck!

  The sound of laughter came from White Jade Hall, "A majestic Kaifeng Prefecture fourth-grade sword-bearing guard, yet can't even ride a horse properly? Hahaha..."
