Chapter Nineteenth The Four Rats Depart, The Imperial Cat Speaks of Brocade Mouse

  "Wu Ye, I've come to find you!" The door of the room was kicked open by Bai Yutang, who rushed in and shouted, "Stinky cat, what are you still doing here? Big Brother and the others have just bid farewell and are about to leave. Hurry up and get going!"

  Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses, furrowed his brow and said, "Big Brother and the others are leaving!? Quick, let's hurry up and go!"

  Deep in thought, how could it be possible? According to the surname of the four old mice, I clearly knew that Bao Zheng was going to Chenzhou, and yet they didn't allow me to go. They should have accompanied Bao Zheng together, but why did they propose to bid farewell recently?

  Something is wrong!

  Kaifeng Prefecture Government Office Entrance!

  "Lord Bao, we bid you farewell!" Lu Fang and others respectfully said to Judge Bao.

  "Four gentlemen, slow down!" Bao Zheng cupped his fists, "Bao Zheng thanks the four of you again for your help!"

  "Master Bao, there's no need for this!" Lu Fang smiled and said, "We'll take our leave now!"

  "Go slowly!"

  "Big brother, why must you leave Kaifeng Prefecture!?" Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao arrived at the gate of the prefectural government office, and Bai Yutang asked.

  "There are still many things on Trap Island, and your sister-in-law is waiting for us to return!" Lu Fang laughed.

  Jiang Ping waved his goose feather fan and said, "Fifth brother will stay in Kaifeng Prefecture for the time being. Wait until your injuries heal before returning to Trap Empty Island!"

  Zhan Zhao's heart moved slightly, and he smiled, "Farewell, brothers! May you have a good journey!"

  "Great hospitality from Brother Zhang!" Several people bowed and smiled!

  "Goodbye!"

  "Not sending!"

  Zhan Zhao watched as several people walked away, then smiled and said to Bai Yutang, "Brother Bai, there's something I need to discuss with you. Come with me!"

  Bai Yutang hesitated for a moment, then turned around and followed Zhan Zhao inside!

  Bao Zheng said to Gong Sun Ce, "Mr. Gong Sun, let's go and pack our bags, we'll set off tomorrow!"

  Gongsun Ce nodded, watching Xian Shuang and Bai Yutang's departing figures, his phoenix eyes narrowed, and he burst out laughing!

  "I say, Fourth Brother!" Trap Island's Four Rats were on horseback, Lu Fang asked, "Master Bao is about to set out for Chen Prefecture, why do we need to leave at this time? Why not go to Chen Prefecture to help Master Bao? If it gets out and people misunderstand that the Four Rats are timid and afraid of trouble, what will happen to our reputation..."

  Jiang Ping's face was calm and composed, one hand holding the reins, the other waving a goose feather fan, interrupting Lu Fang's words, "Big brother doesn't need to worry!"

  "Our departure is to quickly find those two guys, Xiang Pu and Xiang Tong... Hehe... As for helping Bao Daren... Hehe..." Jiang Ping half-closed his phoenix eyes, smiled elegantly, "In another two days, Fifth Brother will recover. Hehe, according to our Fifth Brother's nature of being lawless and loving to join in the fun, plus with Zhan Zhao and Zhan brothers there, those two will definitely ride fast horses to chase after Bao Daren and them on the second day!"

  Lu Fang paused slightly, "Not bad, I said so, Zhan brother is dedicated to the public, even when his martial arts are half ruined, he dares to come to Trap Island alone. In the public hall, Bao Daren said not to let him go, but he didn't say much. At that time, I found it strange. It seems that Zhan brother should... no, must be chasing after Bao Daren and his men!"

  "Hmm, then, our Fifth Brother will definitely not be left behind, he'll also chase after them. With Fifth Brother accompanying Bao Daren, we don't have to worry too much either. It's just right, let Fifth Brother, that unruly person, follow Bao Daren to temper himself and tame his thieving ways! This way, we can also be at ease on Trap Island!" Jiang Ping laughed with joy, his eyes shining brightly as he twirled his three-inch long beard. "So, our task is still to hurry up and find the Xiang brothers. That matter of Fifth Brother stealing the Shangfang Sword... somehow it feels like it's not over yet!"

  "Right, Fourth Brother is indeed our Five Mice's strategist! Haha!" Han Zhang also burst out laughing!

  Jiang Ping let out a light laugh, pulled on the reins and rode his horse to gallop out first, with Lu Fang and others quickly following up!

  "Kitty, what do you want to say to me!?" Bai Yutang asked directly to Zhan Zhao.

  Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Bai brother, those three killers, in my estimation, are probably sent by Anle Hou Pang Yu..."

  "I know this too!" Bai Yutang interrupted Zhan Zhao's words, "What's the point of telling me all this!?"

  "It is clear that Lord Bao will set out for Chenzhou tomorrow!" A glint of light flashed in Zhan Zhao's eyes, "Yes, Lord Bao does not allow me to follow him there!"

  Bai Yutang's eyes narrowed slightly as he smiled lightly and said, "So, you want to secretly follow him in the past!?"

  "Only my brother knows me!" Zhan Zhao smiled faintly, "Lord Bao said to set off early in the morning, and the toxins in our bodies will be cleared by tomorrow. Our injuries will also heal by then. If we ride fast, we can definitely catch up with Lord Bao's entourage. Since Duke Anle could send someone to kill Zhang QingSong, he can naturally send someone to ambush Lord Bao on the road. So, we must hurry over to protect Lord Bao!"

  "Hmm, this plan is not bad!" Bai Yutang's peach blossom eyes narrowed, his handsome face full of smiles, even revealing a few white teeth. Under the sunlight, Zhan Zhao immediately thought of Rock Lee and Guy from Naruto...

  Zhan Zhaohui thought to himself, "You little scamp, why are you showing off so many white teeth for no reason? It's really dazzling!"

  Suddenly, Bai Yutang's expression stiffened and he said, "You can go if you want to, why drag me along with Fifth Master? I didn't say I wanted to go to Chenzhou!"

  Zhan Zhao's refined and handsome face broke into a smile, "Brother Bai, Master Bao said he would set out for Chenzhou tomorrow, why are the four of you leaving today? With Eldest Brother Jiang's intelligence, doesn't he know that leaving at this time will spread rumors and affect the reputation of the Five Rats? Hasn't Brother Bai considered this?"

  Bai Yutang's eyes widened slightly as his facial muscles twitched, "You mean to say that Fourth Brother had anticipated I would go to Chenzhou!?"

  Zhan Zhao continued to smile, "The four brothers have already staked the reputation of the Five Rats on Bai's shoulders. If Bai doesn't go, it would ruin the reputation of the Five Rats of Trap Island. Moreover, Chenzhou is a long way away, if Anle Hou sends someone to deal with Bao again, it wouldn't be a problem even if they openly kill him. But if it's an assassination...Bao has only one of the four great marshals left by his side, Ma Han. If anything happens to Bao..."

  "Zhan certain would have the power to protect Bao Da Ren, unfortunately Zhan's current martial arts... Alas, if it were that time, Zhan would have died together with Bao Da Ren and gained a reputation for loyalty. But now, if people found out that White Brother knew about this and didn't protect Bao Da Ren, they might drown him in saliva!"

  "Brother Bai, search your heart and ask yourself, if it's like this, where would Brother Bai put the reputation of being trapped on an empty island? Can Brother Bai still face the people of the world with a clear conscience? Does Brother Bai still have the face to face his ancestors and parents? Face his relatives and neighbors? Face the citizens of the Song Dynasty? Face...?" Zhang Zhao's eloquence as a lawyer in his past life was fully displayed, with a brilliant light shining behind him, his eyes flashing like fire, speaking fluently and incessantly!

  If Bai Yutang really didn't go to Chenzhou, then he would be a disloyal, unfilial, inhumane and unjust person who offends heaven and reason... it's just short of being guilty of treason.

  If you continue to listen, Bai Yutang has become a degenerate and shameless person who is hated by both heaven and man, and it's only a matter of time before he gets struck dead by a thunderbolt from the sky.

  Bai Yutang swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great care, and a hint of horror flashed in his eyes. How come I didn't notice that this stinky cat's eloquence was so impressive before? If he goes on talking like this, won't Master Wu have to find a block of tofu to knock himself dead?!

  "Stop right there!" Bai Yutang shouted loudly!

  Zhan Zhao stopped talking and smiled at Bai Yutang, who had a look of rebirth on his face. He hastily opened his mouth and said, "Fifth Master, I understand. I will definitely follow you to Chenzhou. I'll go down and treat my injuries first, goodbye!"

  Bai Yutang hastily opened the door and rushed out, looking at his figure, seemingly a bit shaky!

  Zhan Zhao watched Bai Yutang leave, his eyes shining with a warm and gentle light, his thin lips curving into a faint smile, and for an instant, the atmosphere was filled with a sweet and intoxicating silence.

  You white-haired kid, still want to compete with me in eloquence? Go back and practice for another hundred years!
