Kaifeng City is completely silent at midnight.

On the upper floor of the city gate, there were more soldiers keeping watch than before. The city gate was not closed. Although it was already late at night, there were many people entering the city.

Most of them were people from all walks of life, and they were all guests who had come to attend the wedding of Long Qiaoguang and Tang Xiaomei a few days ago.

The guards guarding the gate took a look at the wedding invitation, registered their identity, and then let the person into the city.

There are people from the Blue Fox Gang waiting at the gate of the city. They arrange their accommodation according to the sect and the number of people, in an orderly manner.

The emperor granted a marriage and held a wedding ceremony in the imperial city. The pomp and splendor must not be small, and the number of people will naturally be large.

The guests and friends at the wedding banquet are mainly divided into three waves: one wave is the envoys sent by other countries, and these are all settled in the royal residence. The other wave is officials from other places, and these also have residences arranged by the officials.

What is more difficult to deal with is the third wave, which is the Jianghu people.

The Tang Sect in Zhongshu has a very wide network of contacts, and almost every sect in the black and white sects has some friendship with them, so this time almost all the martial arts from the Central Plains came out to have a wedding banquet.

People in the Jianghu are all different, and it is not easy to arrange them well, especially under the emperor's feet. It would be bad if there was a fight.

In the Sichuan and Sichuan areas, the Tang Sect is said to be one-stop, and can arrange everything they want, but in Kaifeng, it is not so easy.

Tang Sida was in a difficult situation at first, but Zhan Zhao told him not to worry, as Long Qiaoguang also had a "maternal" family member, so he could just teach his natal family to handle these matters.

Who are Mr. Guang’s natal family? Although General You has no father or mother, he has a master and a wife.

It is said that once you enter the Demon Palace, you will always be a Demon Palace member. Since Long Qiaoguang became a disciple of the sick scholar, he naturally entered the Demon Palace.

The old men and women in the Demon Palace are particularly fond of this twenty-four filial disciple of the sick scholar's family. Yin Hou also said before that when Long Qiaoguang holds happy events, it is he who holds the wedding ceremony in the Demon Palace.

There are many talented people in the Demon Palace. In Kaifeng City, the Blue Fox Gang is the one who wants people, and An Yunmo is the one who wants money. They will take care of the reception of Jianghu people clearly.

No matter what sect you are from, we will make you feel at home when you come. Monks are arranged in temples, and Taoists are arranged in temples. Those who like simplicity have folk houses, and those who like luxury have mansions. Those with many people live in manors, and those with few people live in inns.

; The quiet ones live in the forest, the noisy ones live in the market. Which sect has taboos, which leader has what preferences, all are carefully arranged. Those who have hatred will never live together, and those who have a good relationship are either opposite or next door.

, there is no mistake at all, everyone is happy.

So Mr. Guang is very happy these days, what a great deal, the master is an idol and his family has a great career!

The people in the Tang Sect are also very happy. Tang Sidao thinks that his brother-in-law is so smooth, his character is good in everything, and he is versatile in both civil and military affairs. He has no shortcomings except that he talks a lot!

Ouyang Shaozheng, who was in charge of public security in the imperial city, was very happy. There were so many people, except for the excitement, there was no trouble at all, everything was going smoothly!

…

While everyone was feeling happy, one person was a little panicked...Who? Zhan Zhaobai.

Kaifeng Mansion is also very quiet late at night. People who have been busy all day are going to bed one after another, and they will get up early to continue their work tomorrow.

The Fifth Master was lying in the Meow Meow Building, half asleep and half awake, when he heard the creaking of the bed next to him.

Bai Yutang opened his eyes and took a look, and saw Zhan Zhao turning over in the shop opposite. Judging from the frequency of turning over, Master Wu nodded, and the cat was very anxious...

"Ahem."

The fifth master coughed lightly.

Xiaowu and Yaoyao, who were sleeping next to the bed and hanging on the beam, opened their eyes at the same time and took a look.

Seeing that Bai Yutang was not looking at them, the dragon and the tiger closed their eyes and fell asleep.

On the bed opposite, Zhan Zhao turned over and faced Bai Yutang. Sure enough, his cat eyes were very bright in the middle of the night.

"Cat, what are you doing?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang faintly, stretched out three fingers, "Master Cat hasn't picked up a body for three months! It's so abnormal!"

Bai Yutang also turned over and looked at Zhan Zhao.

In the morning, Zhan Zhao knocked the bowl out of Gongsun's hand. The fourth son looked at the broken bowl and said something was going to happen. From then on, Zhan Zhao became anxious and even ate dinner absent-mindedly.

"Did the fourth son say something will happen?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao shook his head bitterly, "No, let's just say that the hexagram doesn't look like a good hexagram."

Bai Yutang was helpless. He had just learned fortune-telling from the Demon King for a few days, and the half-bucket of water made a clanging noise. He had to read everything he saw, but he couldn't explain why. But what this little half-immortal said was so accurate.

.

"Mao'er." Fifth Master decided to comfort Zhan Zhao, "You know...you will have to pick up the body sooner or later."

Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang sadly - why are you like this?

The Fifth Master thought for a while and then "enlightened" Zhan Zhao, "Aren't you joining the Kaifeng Mansion just to catch bad guys? If there are no bad guys, who would you catch?"

Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes.

"You said you're a policeman. If you don't catch thieves, you still get a salary. If you just eat, you won't gain weight..."

Before the fifth master finished speaking, Zhan Zhao turned over with a "hum" and decided to ignore this mouse for the time being before dawn! No matter how good-looking he is, ignore him!

Bai Yutang smiled and reached out to touch the furry head of Xiao Wu who raised his head and yawned.

Xiaowu swung his tail twice, lay down and turned over on his belly to continue sleeping.

"Dong...dong dong..."

"Dong...dong dong..."

In the silent night, waves of rhythmic knocking sounds came. Many residents in Kaifeng City turned on the lights. Some people opened their windows and looked around. Many of them didn't wake up. They thought they were dreaming, but they looked around.

The person who opened the window opposite to hear the sound also looked confused, so he was sure that he heard correctly.

"Dong...dong dong..."

One knock after another echoed in the streets and alleys of Kaifeng City.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, who had just laid down, both opened their eyes.

Zhan Zhao turned around and glanced at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang pointed to his ear and asked him - was he hearing hallucinations?

Zhan Zhao shook his head - No! He heard it too!

Both of them couldn't understand, who was banging the wall or digging holes in the middle of the night?

In Gongsun's room, the fourth son was also woken up and kept pushing under his father's pillow.

The Ninth Prince yawned and looked down at Xiao Liangzi, who was still sleeping with his belly on his head. He shook his head helplessly, "I learned martial arts in vain. I don't have any alertness at all!"

Zhao Pu stretched out his hand and poked Xiao Liang's belly. With a "pop" sound, Xiao Liangzi farted.

The Ninth Prince quickly pinched his nose and opened the window to diffuse the smell, then stretched out his hand to twist his apprentice's nose.

Xiao Liangzi was tired from practicing during the day. Not to mention smashing walls and setting off cannons, he didn't even wake up. He turned over, rubbed his nose and went back to sleep.

Gongsun also woke up. While covering the ears of the fourth son, he looked out the window and asked, "Who made such a big noise in the middle of the night?"

The windows of the house opposite were also opened, and Lin Yehuo poked his head out to look around, "Which 250-year-old is digging into the wall in the middle of the night to disturb the uncle's beauty sleep!"

After everyone complained a few times, they all lay down and went to sleep again, thinking that it would stop soon, but who knew that the sound kept stopping and seemed to be getting louder and louder.

In the palace, Concubine Pang patted Xiangxiang, who started crying after being woken up, and looked at Zhao Zhen helplessly.

Zhao Zhen was also quite puzzled as to who could be so careless in making such a big noise in the middle of the night.

Zhao Zhen asked Nangong to ask. Nangong went out for a while and came back to say that almost half of the people in Kaifeng City had been woken up. The Imperial City Army searched the whole city, but they could not find where the noise came from.

In Kaifeng Mansion, Tianzun and Yin Hou threw pillows at the Demon King.

The demon king hugged two pillows and looked at them aggrievedly, "You two are actually considered as teachers, you two unfilial disciples!"

Both Tianzun and Yin Hou looked at him suspiciously - what is this sound?!

The demon king turned over and slept with his arms around the pillow - how did the teacher know?! It sounded like smashing a wall.

The sound continued continuously, and now almost all the people in the city were awake. Those who were not awakened by the sound were also awakened by the soldiers and horses of the Imperial City Army who were running around in the streets looking for the sound.

There are still so many Jianghu people living in Kaifeng city, and many experts jumped on the roof to look around, including Zhan Zhao, who couldn't sleep in the first place.

Zhan Zhao stood on the roof of Miaomiao Tower, listening to the voice arguing with his ears, but the voice did not seem to come from far away, like a house near Kaifeng Mansion.

However, after listening for a while, the sound became softer and farther away, and then sounded closer again...

"Is it moving?"

Bai Yutang also went up to the roof, and Yaoyao flapped his wings and shook his head, obviously annoyed by the noise.

Just when Zou Liang was about to go to the military camp to let the dogs out, suddenly...the surroundings became quiet again, and the knocking sound disappeared.

"Oh..." Lin Yehuo took out the cotton stuffed in his ears and rubbed his temples, "It's finally quiet."

The Imperial City Army on the street searched again. As the lights in every house were extinguished, Kaifeng Imperial City fell into silence again, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Weird." Ouyang Shaozheng yawned and rubbed the tangled hair on his head, which was like a hen's nest. In the end, he didn't understand what was making the noise!

In the Demon King's room in Kaifeng Mansion, the Demon King was sitting on the bed, holding a pillow with both hands. Beside the bed, Tianzun and Yin Hou were grabbing the edge of the pillow with one hand and trying to fight with him, while holding their own pillows with the other.

The three masters and disciples were in a tug-of-war stalemate, and the Silver Demon King was dissatisfied, "You two already have pillows, why are you trying to grab my master's pillow?"

Tianzun and Yin Hou did not let go, and asked the Demon King one by one:

"It's really not you who did the trick?!"
