In Kaifeng Mansion, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were woken up by a burst of fragrance almost at the same time.

Fifth Master opened his eyes and looked at the bed next door first. He thought to himself: Did the cat get up early and go out to buy pancakes?

Zhan Zhao sat up on the bed next to him and asked, "Who is spreading the pancakes?!"

Bai Yutang stared at Zhan Zhao who got up and ran out happily, and silently admired himself - he could smell the smell of pancakes, and he could also smell the pancakes with green onions but not coriander...

The fifth master shook his head, stood up and got dressed. He glanced at himself in the bronze mirror, who was handsome and handsome in white, and turned around to go out. He decided to eat one pancake if there were any, and if not, grab half of it from Zhan Zhao!

The courtyard outside Miaomiao Building was even more lively. All the students from Taixue were wearing student robes, holding pancakes in their hands and walking out while eating.

The fifth master walked into the courtyard and saw Tianzun and Yin Hou already sitting at the table and eating.

In the middle of the yard, the Silver Demon King got a pancake pan from nowhere and was spreading pancakes.

The Demon King's technique was so skillful that the Fifth Master even wondered if he was selling pancakes before he became a god. The flying pancakes were as thin as cicada wings, with chopped green onions and sesame seeds evenly sprinkled on the pancakes. The gesture of swiping the sauce on the pancakes made the fruit get blocked.

The crisp sound of two halves...

After watching it for a while, Master Wu continued to shake his head - he actually knew the steps to spread pancakes...

As he was shaking his head, a hot pancake suddenly appeared in front of him. There was a semicircular gap on the pancake, a familiar semicircle...

The fifth master raised his head and saw Zhan Zhao chewing with his cheeks puffed out. He motioned to him - take a bite and try it!

Bai Yutang lowered his head and took a bite, his eyes lit up.

"Hahaha……"

At the table, Tianzun Yin waited for Lu Tianhan and laughed at Bai Yutang.

The Fifth Master glanced at a few old men, walked up to the Demon King and said he wanted to eat cakes with two eggs!

The demon king smiled and did it for him.

Tianzun and Lu Tianhan were dissatisfied while eating cakes - Yutang and that monster were quite close!

Yin Hou looked at Zhan Zhao - your Xiaobaitang has always had an otherworldly style of painting, look how distorted you have led it!

Zhan Zhao reached for his grandfather's soy milk and drank it.

"The most common breakfast in our military camp is pancakes." Zhao Pu praised while chewing pancakes, "I have never had anything so delicious."

Gongsun also nodded, "Good craftsmanship!"

Xiao Liangzi gave a thumbs up to the Demon King, while Xiao Sizi puffed out his cheeks and nodded, with a grain of sesame on his cheeks.

In the early morning, in addition to discussing the Demon King's craftsmanship, everyone talked about the strange noise last night.

Gongsun from the yard next door also came over, took a bowl of soy milk and yawned. The old man obviously didn't sleep well either.

The Silver Demon King asked Gongsun if he knew what was making the noise last night.

The old man shook his head, "I can't hear it, it seems to be ringing regularly."

“Who is really going to tear down the wall?”

"It's not like that."

Outside the courtyard gate, Ouyang Shaozheng, who had already patrolled the streets early in the morning, ran in, "Many residents came to the Imperial City Army this morning to report the case, saying that the neighbor's house demolished the wall in the middle of the night and disturbed people's dreams, but we checked a few.

Home, the sound did not come from any one of them, and the walls of those homes did not collapse."

"I feel as if the sound is moving." Zhan Zhao expressed his doubts, "And there is sound but no vibration."

"Indeed." Tianzun, who is well versed in wall demolition, also felt that something was not right. "Usually smashing walls has an echo. If you hear it so clearly, it means it is not far away. You should be able to feel the vibration."

Everyone also nodded, that's what happened.

Bai Yutang walked to Tianzun and sat down next to him. Zhan Zhao served him a bowl of soy milk and asked him what he was going to do later and whether he wanted to check out the voice.

Bai Yutang shook his head and said that he was going to the dock in the afternoon, and his brothers were coming.

Zhan Zhao thought that he should go together and go to the dock to ask nearby residents if they heard any noise last night.

While they were chatting here, Ma Han ran in and said to Zhan Zhao, "Master Zhan, someone is looking for you."

"Who?"

"My surname is Wen," said Ma Han, "the shopkeeper of Luowen Teahouse."

"Wenyue?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Mahan nodded, "I said he was your friend."

"Yeah." Zhan Zhao asked Ma Han to invite him to sit in the guest room.

Luowen Teahouse is a very famous teahouse in Kaifeng. The jasmine tea produced there is a world-famous brand and it is a time-honored workshop in Kaifeng. Yinhou loves to drink the jasmine tea there, so Zhan Zhao often goes there.

I bought it for him, and after getting to know Wenyue over and over again, we became friends.

Zhan Zhao got up and walked to the front yard. Bai Yutang was also familiar with Wen Yue, so he went with him.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang as he walked, "By the way, are the teas served to the guests at this wedding banquet all from Luowen Tea House?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "There are many teahouses competing. It is said that Long Qiaoguang chose Wenyue's because Yin Hou loves to drink."

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Grandpa is so respectable."

In the guest room of the Kaifeng Side Hospital, a Wen Sheng in his thirties was sitting drinking tea. It was Wen Yue, the shopkeeper of Luowen Tea House.

Wen Yue was slightly chubby and faced Heshan. When he saw Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang coming together, he stood up and said, "Brother Zhan and Brother Bai."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also greeted him. They were familiar with each other, so there was no need to be polite.

Wen Yue sat down and started talking, looking quite anxious, "Are you two free? I've had some trouble here."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other and asked him together, "What happened?"

"Alas! Isn't this a busy time!" Wen Yue looked helpless, "The master who smokes scented tea in my workshop has lost one!"

"One is missing?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Does it mean missing?"

Wen Yue nodded, "Fumigation tea requires fruit wood. The master of my tea house, Lao Chen, went out yesterday to buy fruit wood, but he never came back. It's been a whole day and a night. I'm afraid something might happen."

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "Where can I buy fruit trees? Orchards?"

"We used to go to the orchard to buy them, but all the fruit trees in the orchard recently were bought by Taibaiju."

Bai Yutang was puzzled, "Why did Taibaiju buy fruit trees?"

Zhan Zhao coughed and whispered, "Roast duck!"

The Fifth Master silently glanced at Zhan Zhao, who was beside him and felt guilty. Recently, Taibaiju's business has been very good. Zhan Zhao and Xiao Sizi always introduced Taibaiju's roast duck to everyone they met. It can be seen that the supply exceeds the demand. Look, they are cheating the tea sellers.

of.

The workers at my teahouse were looking for fruit trees everywhere. Lao Chen said that he had heard about a store in Ziwu Lane, Nantian Street, and wanted to go and have a look first. If there were any, he would order more... But he left the house and never returned to the teahouse or home.

.

"Then did you go to the place where he bought the fruit trees and inquire about it?" Bai Yutang asked.

Wen Yue spread his hands and said, "That's the problem..."

Before Wen Yue finished speaking, Zhan Zhao also looked confused, "Where is Ziwu Lane on Nantian Street?"

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, "No?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "I walk this street every day, and I have never seen or heard of such an alley."

Wen Yue also nodded, "I have lived in the west of the city all year round and I am not familiar with this area. I asked many people on the street today and they all said that there is no such alley in Nantian Street!"

"That's quite strange." Zhan Zhao touched his chin and thought. He had seen Lao Chen before. He was just an ordinary old man smoking tea. Who could kidnap him?

Wen Yue reported the case and went back to the teahouse to continue his work.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went out and first went to find Ouyang Shaozheng.

Huo Qilin is most familiar with the topography of Kaifeng Mansion. When he heard about Nantian Street Ziwu Lane, the pioneer officer scratched his head in confusion, "What Ziwu Lane? Not to mention Nantian Street doesn't have it, it doesn't exist in the entire Kaifeng City!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang searched until noon, but still found nothing.

At noon, there were more people on the street. The two of them felt that this search was not an option, so they went back home first, preparing to get some portraits of Lao Chen and put up a list to search for them.

Returning to Nantian Street, I saw Bao Yan and several Taixue students standing at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion all the way away, with big and small bags in their hands, looking like they were going out to play.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang counted the number of people and found that the size of the Kaifeng Prefecture Taixue team had grown a lot.

Bao Yan, Pang Yu, Wang Qi, Ouyang Chunhua, Lin Xiao, the three great talents from Jiangnan, plus several newly admitted martial arts students this year, Wang Lin, Nangong Qin and Shen Mao.

Bai Yutang told Zhan Zhao, "Two days ago, Master Lin said that there were not enough martial arts students in Taixue, and he asked Lu Feng if he wanted to let the few apprentices of the same age who are among the top ten masters of Tianshan Sect also go there to study."

Zhan Zhao was amused, "Does the old man want the Imperial Academy to dominate the martial arts world in the future?"

The fifth master also laughed.

While they were talking, they saw Tianzun and Yin Hou running out of the gate, chatting and laughing with a group of children no older than them.

Zhan Zhao wondered, "Where are you going?"

"It looks like you are either outing or swimming in the lake." Fifth Master touched his chin, "Not only have you not picked up a body in three months, my master has also not caused trouble in three months!"

"Tsk, my eyelids are twitching again!" Zhan Zhao covered his right eye and walked towards Kaifeng Mansion with Bai Yutang.
