Xiao Wu led everyone through the lilac cedar forest and walked to a lake.
The guide who was brought by the shadow guard just in case recognized that the lake was a mirror lake outside the city of Bazhou, because the lake was calm, every time it was cold, it would freeze a layer of ice, and I didn't know if there was anything at the bottom of the lake, in short, the lake was very bright, just like a mirror.
Zhan Zhao stood by the lake and looked at the heart of the lake, indeed, the sky was reflected like a mirror, and it was a little unreal.
At this time, the sun was setting, and the snow had just stopped, and the whole dark cloud suddenly tore apart, and there was vermilion light sprinkled down in the gaps, and the pale golden sky on the surface of the mirror lake seemed to be under the feet.
The little fourth son sat on Zhao Pu's shoulder and looked at it with a big mouth.
Everyone couldn't help but stop and watch this spectacle.
Xiao Wu stood by the lake, looking at the lake and being distracted.
Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand, took the little fourth son in Zhao Pu's hand, and walked towards the lake.
"Alas," the guide hurriedly said, "the ice is so thin that people can't step on it."
But before he finished speaking, Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to gently stop him, and at the same time, Zhanzhao had already walked to the Mirror Lake with the little fourth son in his arms.
He stepped on the ice of the lake as if he were walking on a glass mirror, which had not cracked, or even moved.
Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows, whistled in a low voice, and Zhanzhao's light skills were indeed amazingly good, this is definitely a matter of talent, if you don't have talent, no matter how you practice, it is impossible to practice to this realm.
Zhan Zhao walked to the center of the mirror lake with the little fourth son in his arms, and there were two reflections on the lake, and for a while it was a little unclear whether it was upright or upside down, an unreal feeling.
Xiao Sizi raised his face and looked at the sky, and looked at the soles of his feet, it was also the sky, and he was so clear about himself and Zhanzhao.
Zhan Zhao smiled and asked the little fourth son, "Is it fun?"
"Hmm," the little fourth child nodded happily.
Gongsun stood by the lake and laughed, feeling for the first time that it was very right for him to take his little fourth son to Kaifeng Mansion In fact, Gongsun had repeatedly asked himself before, is it right to devote himself to Kaifeng Mansion like this, although Lord Bao is fair and honest, but after all, he can be regarded as entering the official mansion.
He is not alone, he has a little fourth son, he will grow up day by day, whether it is better for him in Kaifeng Mansion, or simply grow up with him in the small courtyard of his hometown, it is better to see a doctor and read a book After Gongsun lived in Kaifeng Mansion, sometimes he dreamed at night that when he was investigating the case, he didn't pay close attention to the little fourth son, he was arrested by the bad guys, and he broke out in a cold sweat every time.
But at this time, when he saw the smile on the face of the little fourth son, he felt that it was very worthwhile, even if he died in the future, the little fourth son was old, he would always remember the beauty of this moment, and recall the happiness of this moment, this is an experience that he will never have in the cottage of his hometown.
The shadow guards looked at the guide beside them, and saw him look at Zhanzhao standing in the center of the lake with his mouth wide open, as if he had seen a ghost.
Purple Shadow didn't pay much attention, but Ochre Shadow thought the guide's expression was a little strange.
After all, it is an ordinary person, it is difficult to understand how Zhanzhao's high light skill came about, and he may think that he is a demon or something else, so there is a little jealousy and suspicion in his eyes.
"He's doing a good job."
Ochre whispered.
"Ahh The guide came back to his senses and said to everyone, "If you don't leave, it will be dark, and there is still a way back to the Rangzhou Mansion, and there may be heavy snow at night." ” Zhan Zhao hugged the little fourth son and ran back in three or two steps, and his movements were no different from those on the flat ground.
The little fourth son was sent back to Zhao Pu, and he hadn't come back to his senses at this time, looking back at the lake with some nostalgia.
Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Wu's head, "Go back." ” Xiao Wu stood up and followed Zhanzhao.
Bai Yutang also turned around and was about to leave, but he felt someone touch his arm.
Bai Yutang turned around and saw that it was ochre.
Ochre Shadow winked at Bai Yutang and motioned for him to keep an eye on the guide.
Bai Yutang glanced at the guide, and saw that he was walking forward with a heavy heart, but after taking a few steps, he would glance at Zhanzhao, how to say this look with bad intentions Bai Yutang frowned slightly.
This kind of look is not common, and if this guide was frightened by the light skills he had just shown, then he should be very scared.
Or the guide thinks that Zhan Zhao is very powerful, it should be mostly shocked and admired, take 10,000 steps back, the guide thinks Zhan Zhao is very annoying, and most of that hatred is there, but at this moment, there seems to be some calculation in his eyes.
After that, everyone still followed Xiao Wu out of the woods as usual, and it turned out that there was an official road outside.
The guide showed everyone the way, "This road goes straight ahead to the East Gate of the Bazhou Mansion." ” Everyone nodded.
Purple Shadow asked the guide, "Why don't you follow?"
"I'm not going," the guide shook his head and waved his hand, pointing to a fork in the road to the west, "The village where I live is close to this road." ” Everyone didn't embarrass him, and Ziying gave him a piece of silver, "I'm sorry for you to go this time." ” "Yo, I don't dare to ask for it, I often do things for the prefect, and the yamen has given me silver."
The guide excused himself and hurriedly said, "I'll go first." ” After saying that, he ran away as if he were running away.
Purple Shadow and Ochre Shadow look at Zhao Pu together.
Zhao Pu nodded, and the two followed the guide.
Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao, "Have you seen that guide before?"
Zhan Zhao was stunned and touched his head, "I don't have any impression." ” "He seems to be hostile to you."
Bai Yutang said in a low voice, "It's a strange feeling. ” Zhan Zhao thought about it, but he still didn't think about it, and he didn't go to his heart, so he dragged Bai Yutang, "Let's go, there are more important things to do" "What" everyone was surprised, but Zhanzhao found something.
"Eat."
Zhan Zhao replied with confidence.

Bai Yutang looked at the sky.
The little fourth son also remembered that he was hungry at this time, holding his stomach and frowning at Zhao Pu, before the word "hungry" came out, Zhao Pu ran away with his legs, and it was not okay to be hungry for the little fourth son "I want to eat hot pot," the little fourth son said to Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu went straight to the most famous hot pot shop in the city.
Gongsun chased after him, "You are not allowed to eat hot pot in a row" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took Xiao Wu behind them, and felt that these three people were quite serious, and they felt like a family of three.
Walking all the way, when he was about to reach the gate of the city, Xiao Wu suddenly stopped, turned his face, and looked at the forest on the side.
Gongsun and Zhao Pu chased after each other and coaxed the little fourth son into the city.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang found that Xiao Wu was not moving, so they stopped to look at it.
"Zhan Xiaowu" Zhan Zhao poked Xiao Wu's ass with his toes, "Let's go, don't you go into the city and buy a roast chicken for you to stuff between your teeth." ” Xiao Wu looked back at Zhan Zhao and then at Bai Yutang, and walked into the forest.
"Into the woods again," Zhanzhao grabbed its tail, "Didn't you find something again, let's go and come back after eating." ” Xiao Wu wagged his tail and wanted to go into the woods, but Zhanzhao had no choice but to drag its tail to follow.
Bai Yutang looked around, it was not very far from the city gate, but this forest was quite dense, and there should not be many people coming.
Not long after Xiao Wu walked into the forest, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang smelled a strange smell.
The two frowned as if something was burnt in the smell, faintly.
Soon, Xiao Wu seemed to find something and began to dig the snow on the ground.
Zhan Zhao walked over, stretched out his hand to pick a branch, and helped Xiao Wu sweep away the snow on the ground, and after a while, he saw a black, charred hand under the thick snow.
Zhan Zhao's eyes widened and the corpse was scorched Bai Yutang walked over, stretched out his hand to pull Zhanzhao and motioned Xiao Wu to step back, raised his hand and pushed the snow to the side under the snow layer, and the charred corpse with ice slag was exposed.
The corpse was twisted, its hands bent in front of it, and its body bent as if it was struggling.
"He was burned alive."
Bai Yutang looked at the corpse and frowned, "The body has been poured with fire oil, otherwise it would not have been burned like this."
"It's so cruel, what a deep hatred."
Zhan Zhao frowned, "The Heavenly Mother hasn't caught it yet, and there is another charred corpse to deal with." ” "If it weren't for Xiao Wu, this corpse would not be found until the ice and snow melted in the spring of the next year."
Bai Yutang shook his head, "We shouldn't be in the Baizhou Mansion by then." ” "I shouldn't have been dead for long, but the smell is still there."
Zhan Zhao nodded, "If it freezes for a few more days and freezes completely, it is estimated that it will be tasteless." ” "Do you think it's a coincidence, or does it have something to do with Heavenly Mother's case?"
Bai Yutang asked.
"I can't say."
Zhan Zhao sighed, "I searched outside, but I didn't find any suspicious clues, and there were no traces of burning under the snow, it seems that I just threw the corpse." ” Zhan Zhao thought for a while, reached out and patted Bai Yutang's shoulder, "You wait here for a while." ” Bai Yutang looked at him.
Zhan Zhao patted Xiao Wu's head again, "Accompany your brother here, I'll be back soon." ” After speaking, Zhanzhao disappeared with a "whoosh".
Bai Yutang blinked, Xiao Wu sat down, and began to lick his paws, and his tail didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, anyway, he hooked the hem of Bai Yutang's clothes and made a "whirring" sound.
Bai Yutang knew that there was no contact with the arrow on their bodies, and Zhanzhao estimated that he had returned to the city to find a servant to carry the corpse, and with Zhanzhao's light skills, he estimated that he had already arrived at the Baizhou Mansion, but it would be more troublesome to bring people here, and he might ride a horse faster.
Just as he was thinking, large snowflakes fell down.
Bai Yutang raised his face and looked at the sky, this snow is estimated to be small.
Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to catch a few snowflakes, maybe touching the scene, and suddenly remembered the scene when he was a child and practiced with Tianzun on the Tianshan Mountain.
It also snows a lot on the Tianshan Mountains, and when I first went, because he was a southerner, he was very afraid of the cold.
He remembered that at night, he would wrap a small quilt and sit next to the stove, and Tianzun would set up a stove to cook hot pot on the side.
Cook a chopstick and stuff a chopstick into his mouth, not letting him reach out, for fear that he will freeze.
However, Tianzun also has a very contradictory temperament, he spoils him to heaven on weekdays, once he practices, he throws it directly into the snow and pours a basin of water on him, and he deserves to die if he doesn't practice his internal skills.
Thinking of this, Bai Yutang wanted to laugh at Tianzun, who had come with him, but suddenly left again, I don't know where I am in the past few days, I don't know if I got lost again.
"Whew" Bai Yutang was thinking about it, when Xiao Wu next to him suddenly roared in a low voice, and the voice came from his throat, with some kind of warning.
Bai Yutang felt that there seemed to be someone nearby, and when he looked over, he saw a person standing outside the forest, next to a tree.
Bai Yutang turned his face, and it happened that the person was also looking in, and glanced at Bai Yutang and recognized it, frowning slightly.
The person who came was a little unexpected by Bai Yutang, it was Pan Xu.
Pan Xu should be closed in the yamen, why was it released After thinking about it, it's not impossible, it is estimated that it is a shirk, if the guys in the store say that he is just a guest, he can naturally leave in a big way.
And what made Bai Yutang even more curious was why he appeared here, whether it had anything to do with this charred corpse Pan Xu walked out from behind the tree and said, "It turned out to be Bai Wuye." ” Bai Yutang was silent and glanced at him.
"Oh" Pan Xu smiled a little embarrassedly, "I was passing by just now, and I saw a white figure in the distance, and I thought it was the Heavenly Mother" Bai Yutang looked at him with no expression, for a long time, he spoke unhurriedly, "The eyes are good, I haven't seen such a big black tiger" The flesh on Pan Xu's face twitched slightly obviously, making it a little more embarrassing.
Bai Yutang no longer paid attention to him, and in the distance, there was already the sound of horses' hooves, it should be Zhanzhao who brought someone here.
Pan Xu frowned when he saw Zhanzhao, turned around and left, and didn't say much.

Bai Yutang didn't stop him, put a long line to catch big fish, and now Lord Bao has checked the worries of the entire Baizhou Mansion, Pan Xu has cut off his financial route, and he will definitely be unable to bear to expose his feet after a long time.
Zhan Zhao saw a person coming out of the woods from afar, frowning, and seeing from his back that it was Pan Xu.
Just now, Zhanzhao returned to the Pozhou Mansion and heard Zhang Long and Zhao Hu say that someone from the White Ghost Villa is coming, and he wants someone from Lord Bao.
The owner of the opera garden insisted that Pan Xu was just a guest, he was not familiar with it at all, and he did not sell it, and the opera garden had nothing to do with him, in short, Pan Xu just retreated.
Zhan Zhao had long known that Master Bao was going to put a long line to catch a big fish, but he didn't expect that Pan Xu would appear near the forest, but the charred corpse had something to do with him Zhanzhao arrived at the edge of the woods, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and Xiao Wuyi saw that the dates were also coming, so he immediately walked out, and the horses of the officials were frightened and fell down a large area.
Zao Duoduo kicked Xiao Wuyi with his hooves and motioned for him to go back to the forest, so he wanted to scare the horse to death Xiao Wu had no choice but to sit from a distance and watch the officials drag the frightened horses back, while gently teasing the horse's hooves with their tails, like a child looking for someone to play.
Zhan Zhao Wangtian, where does this tiger have the domineering spirit of the king of beasts, and sure enough, whether it is a big cat or a kitten, as long as they are full, they are very easy to get along with.
"What is Pan Xu doing here" Zhanzhao ran to Bai Yutang's side, and the officials moved the corpse, "If he provokes you, don't beat him, you're welcome" Bai Yutang smiled and shook his head, "I don't know.
Then, I told you about what I had just done.
Zhan Zhao frowned, "The White Ghost Villa is not in this direction, he clearly came to find this corpse" Bai Yutang nodded, "I think so too." ” "Wow, it's dead again" The two of them turned outside, and saw that it was Purple Shadow and Ochre Shadow who were talking.
"You two don't go with the guide, do you have any discoveries?"
asked Zhan Zhao.
"Yes," Purple Shadow asked, "guess where this guide has gone?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other and shook their heads.
Ochre smiled at "White Ghost Villa":
