Chapter Thirteen: The Magic Sword Descends with Clarity

  Bianliang City, Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhan Showa and Bai Yutang rushed all the way to Kaifeng Prefecture without stopping!

  Bai Yutang's figure flashed, and he jumped off the horse. At the same time, he reached out with one hand on the brown horse and pulled Zhang Zhao down to the ground steadily. The two of them rushed straight into the Kaifeng Prefecture!

  "Zhan Daren, you're back?" The guards at the gate of the government office hastily saluted!

  Zhan Zhao waved his hand and directly led Bai Yutang to Bao Gong's room with familiarity.

  The two went straight to Bao Gong's room!

  "Zhan Hu Wei, you're back?" Mr. Gong Sun and Lord Bao exclaimed in unison with surprise!

  Zhan Zhao let out a soft sigh, took a step forward, knelt down on one knee, and struck the ground with his giant sword, making a loud and powerful sound. He opened his mouth and said, "Sir, I was unable to retrieve the Shangfang Sword, please punish me!"

  "Your Excellency, the blame is on me and has nothing to do with Zhan Zhao. If it weren't for Bai Yutang stealing the Shangfang Sword, it wouldn't have been stolen again!" Bai Yutang also knelt down, "This matter has nothing to do with Zhan Zhao, it's all because of Bai Yutang's momentary confusion, and he stole the Shangfang Sword out of rivalry, implicating Your Excellency. Bai Yutang is guilty, please punish me, Your Excellency!"

  "No need for that, General Zhao. Please get up quickly!" Lord Bao hastily helped General Zhao to his feet and smiled, "There's no need for you two to say more, we already know the whereabouts of the Shangfang Sword!"

  "Are you serious?" Zhan Zhao looked up in astonishment!

  Bao Zheng smiled and said, "Zhan Huwei, Bai Xiaotian, now that the four thieves from Trap Island have arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture, everything has been made clear to this court. The five thieves are loyal and righteous, and it's a joyful thing that Zhan Huwei has become sworn brothers with them. As for Bai Xiaotian stealing the Shangfang Sword, this court will no longer pursue the matter!"

  Mr. Gong Sun smiled and said, "Zhan Huwei is indeed capable, with quick thinking, and he actually anticipated that someone would use this to blackmail Boss Bao!"

  Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang exchanged a glance, before Zhan Zhao spoke up, "But someone has submitted a memorial impeaching you, saying that you deceived the Emperor?"

  "Not bad, the four mice have arrived here and have told the cause and effect of this case!" Bao Gong nodded.

  Zhan Zhao asked, "I don't know where Lu brothers are? And who else is involved in reporting this to the adults?"

  Mr. Gong Sun smiled slightly and said, "Guess!"

  Bai Yutang stumbled and almost fell over, saying in a bad temper, "Sir, Mr. Gong Sun, stop speaking riddles..."

  Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Judging from the expressions of you two gentlemen, I suppose you already know what happened to the Shangfang treasure sword. Since Lu Dage and his three companions have all arrived here, but are not in Kaifeng Prefecture now, they must be at the residence of the thief who stole the sword, keeping watch overnight, waiting for an opportunity to bring the sword back."

  Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng nodded, "Zhan Huwei is indeed sharp-witted. Zhan Huwei can take a guess, who stole the Shangfang Sword?"

  Zhan Zhao furrowed his brow, "Please, I'm a newcomer to this world, I just arrived not long ago, how can I guess who it is? However, based on my past life experience and the situation of the eight o'clock TV series, the one who doesn't get along with Lao Bao should be that Pang Dashi!"

  "Could it be......" Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Is it Master Pang?"

  Mr. Gong Sun nodded and said, "That's right, it must be that Pang Taishi"

  Pang Taishi presented a memorial to the Emperor, saying: "Yesterday, Pang Taishi presented a memorial in the imperial court, accusing Your Majesty of looking down on imperial grace and neglecting official duties, resulting in the theft of the precious sword bestowed by the Emperor, and intentionally concealing it without reporting, with the intention of deceiving the monarch!"

  "This official said, tomorrow morning will bring the Shangfang treasure sword to pay respects! Magistrate Bao stroked his three-foot-long beard and smiled, "Since Wei Hu has returned, it's for the best. As long as Wei Hu returns, the Shangfang treasure sword will certainly return to this official's hands. Peng Taishi only knows that Kaifeng Prefecture has a royal cat, but doesn't know that in the jianghu there are also five mice. Now that Wei Hu has returned, Peng Taishi will certainly strengthen his guard and the place where the treasure sword is hidden will be heavily guarded!"

  "At that time, all we need to do is have the five mice bring back the treasure sword, and as for the work of protecting the exhibition, it's to attract the attention of that Pang Taishi!" Mr. Gong Sun said with a smile.

  Bai Yutang looked at Gong Sunce's harmless smile, and his body suddenly felt a chill. He felt that Gong Sunce's smiling eyes were almost identical to those of his fourth brother! Whenever his fourth brother smiled like this, nothing good would happen. Gong Sunce was probably the same...

  Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "I understand, I will attract Pang Taishi's attention, especially tonight. Tonight, I will go find Pang Taishi. At that time, Pang Taishi will definitely be on high alert against me, and the place where the treasure sword is kept will definitely have more guards. And Lu Dage and others, plus Bai Xiong, can then bring out the Shangfang Treasure Sword again!"

  "The analysis of the guard is quite good, this official also thought so!" Bao Gong's dark face shone with a bright light, looking very pleased!

  Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment, then said again, "This is still not enough. Why don't we make a plan? Let Lu and the four mice prepare to find the Shangfang treasure sword, while you, White Brother, go to the Taishi Mansion tonight and pretend to be an assassin!"

  Gongsun, Bao Zheng, and Bai Yutang were taken aback for a moment, then nodded simultaneously.

  Bai Yutang suddenly asked, "Miao'er, what about your martial arts now? If it's like this, then I'll go to the Taishi residence tonight!"

  "Please tell the four brothers, Zhan Mou has gone to his room first and will rest for a while!" Zhan Zhao nodded at Bai Yutang and nodded at Bao Zheng and Gong Sun Ce.

  Bai Yutang burst out laughing and waved his folding fan, "Go on, go on, hurry up! I'm still waiting for a battle with you, Fifth Master!"

  Zhan Zhao smiled and took his leave!

  Gongsun Ce's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Bai Yutang with a hint of a smile on his lips. Bai Yutang felt a chill spread through his heart, and he forced himself to speak up, "I don't know if Mr. Gongsun has any other business? If not, I'll go inform my brothers first!"

  "Zhan Hu Wei wants to adjust his breath, but Bai Xiaosheng knows what happened?" Gong Sun Ce asked with a smile.

  Bai Yutang's body stiffened and he said, "Nothing, nothing. It's just that the cat has been too tired lately, so it's just resting. I guarantee there's absolutely nothing wrong!"

  Gongsun Ce smiled and nodded, "Alright then, trouble Bai Xiaosheng to inform Lu Da Xia and the others!"

  Bai Yutang nodded and directly transformed into a white shadow, disappearing into Bao Gong's room. In his heart, Bai Yutang was screaming, I never want to be with this Mr. Gong again, it feels even more terrifying than being with my fourth brother...

  After Zhan Zhao returned to his residence, he immediately calmed his mind thoroughly. In the battle at Liu's mansion, many of his instincts were indeed awakened, and even his internal energy was operating under instinct. If he hadn't hurried back to Kaifeng, he might have already begun to digest the benefits brought by this battle!
