The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 35 Three Heroes and Five Righteous Men

Although Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had only known each other for a short time, judging from his flamboyant behavior in Kaifeng Prefecture, he was definitely not a quiet person.

However, since the two had only just met, and he didn't know what kind of person Bai Yutang had been before, he couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Bai Yutang had agreed to go to Kaifeng Prefecture on the surface, but secretly had other plans?

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao felt a little disgusted with his own thoughts. The Five Rats of Jiangnan had been famous for a long time. Although they were eccentric, they were also chivalrous heroes. How could they go back on their word?

Leaving aside how much Zhan Zhao despised himself in his heart, Lu Fang, Xu Qing, and Jiang Ping were genuinely puzzled.

The fifth brother's face is still the same, but why does he look different?

The fifth brother used to be unruly, arrogant, ruthless, hot-tempered, and unrestrained.

But the fifth brother is now calm and reserved, exuding an air of propriety. Although he always has a smile on his face and is polite to everyone, it is this very politeness that makes the three of them feel uncomfortable.

The fifth brother is straightforward and respects his sworn brothers. Although he sometimes says hurtful things when he is young and hot-tempered, he will apologize to them as soon as he calms down.

The group never cared about such trivial matters, after all, the age gap between them was too great. Lu Fang was old enough to be Bai Yutang's father. They saw Bai Yutang as a child who hadn't grown up yet, and they were very tolerant of him.

Some of them would even tease him like a child, and after he got angry, they would rush to comfort him, and in the end, the brothers would laugh it off.

The five of them became sworn brothers because they shared similar ideals and have been so for several years. They know each other to a great extent, if not completely.

The fifth brother never hid his emotions from them; he always spoke his mind directly and frankly.

But the fifth brother now...

He controlled his emotions very well. Even when the three of them deliberately provoked him, he remained polite and distant, responding with words that were neither too harsh nor too soft. His emotions were always indifferent, without any major fluctuations, like a clay sculpture without any feelings.

Fifth brother wasn't like this before!

The current Bai Yutang is like a completely different person from before, with a temperament that is the complete opposite of the former.

Lu Fang sat by the roadside with a worried look on his face, looking at Bai Yutang under the tree, sighing incessantly. Xu Qing, who was next to him, couldn't bear it any longer and handed him a water bag: "Brother, have some water."

Lu Fang turned to look at him, opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back: "Sigh!"

“Brother, this isn’t very nice. Just say what you want to say.” Xu Qing was straightforward and couldn’t stand his brother’s hesitant manner, so he asked directly.

"I..." Lu Fang hesitated, but thinking of his fifth brother, he couldn't help but ask, "Third brother, do you think it's because you hurt him that day, and he's still angry? Otherwise, why would he..."

Xu Qing jumped to his feet, saying incredulously, "Brother, are you blaming me now? Didn't we agree on everything beforehand? How come you're blaming me now?"

Xu Qing felt extremely wronged. They had all discussed the action plan in advance in Jasmine Village, but now, just because Lao Wu was injured, they were blaming him for everything. How could such a thing happen in the world!

"Third brother, don't be angry. I didn't mean anything by it. I just feel sad to see Fifth brother like this. I guess he's heartbroken because we didn't help him back then and instead stood against him."

Xu Qing was furious and said angrily, "He still has the nerve to be sad. If he hadn't insisted on going to Kaifeng Prefecture to compete with Brother Zhan, there wouldn't be this mess today!"

If you ask me, we've all been dragged down by him for nothing!

If it weren't for Judge Bao's magnanimity in letting us go and pleading for us before the officials, allowing us to turn misfortune into blessing and be spared punishment and even given official positions, we wouldn't even know where we are now, and we would probably have been beheaded long ago!

We didn't say anything after suffering this misfortune for no reason, and he still has the nerve to blame us, he..."

Seeing Xu Qingyue getting more and more agitated, Lu Fang, who was kind-hearted and never a strict brother, felt uncomfortable listening to Xu Qingyue's questioning and wanted to reprimand him, but he also felt that Xu Qingyue was right. He was caught in a dilemma.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ping quickly pulled Xu Qing aside and whispered words of comfort.

Zhan Zhao wanted to step forward and offer some advice, but seeing the situation between the brothers, he didn't say much, especially since everything was caused by him.

People in the underworld value face more than their lives!

I was really out of my mind back then. I performed in front of Yaowu Tower and was praised by the emperor. In a daze, I accepted the title of "Imperial Cat" and forgot that there was also the "Five Rats" in the martial arts world, which led to all the troubles I have today.

Watching the five rat brothers argue, he couldn't bear to watch either.

While Zhan Zhao was reflecting on his own actions, Bai Yutang was simply annoyed.

He has already agreed to go back to Kaifeng with them, so why is he still not quiet?

He had never been in contact with people from the underworld before, and he really didn't know how to get along with them.

Isn't it said that people in the martial arts world are decisive and efficient?

They all seem pretty slow and indecisive.

The ass decides the head.

If he were to transmigrate into the Kaifeng Prefecture, he would naturally think that Bai Yutang was being unreasonable. Just because of the title "Imperial Cat," he came to cause trouble in Kaifeng Prefecture, stole three treasures, entered the inner garden of the imperial palace to kill people and leave poems, and even set fire to the Pang Grand Tutor's mansion.

Every single one of these acts was a heinous crime.

However, he has now transmigrated into Bai Yutang's body, and since he has accepted Bai Yutang's identity and memories, he will naturally view things from Bai Yutang's perspective.

Bai Yutang made a mistake, but does that mean Zhan Zhao made no mistake at all?

Everyone knows that mice are afraid of cats.

The Five Rats of Trap Island first gained fame, and the title of Imperial Cat followed.

As a chivalrous hero from the south, Zhan Zhao had roamed the martial world for many years and he knew how much people in the martial world valued reputation and face.

But he knowingly committed the crime and still accepted the title. If the Five Rats don't respond, how will they maintain their standing in the martial arts world?

Not to mention that the original owner of this body wasn't stupid either. He knew that Zhan Zhao was now in a government office and had no choice in his own destiny. His title was bestowed by the emperor and was not his own intention.

Aside from that, the two had no other major grudges or hatreds, so there was no need for them to fight to the death.

Just having a match with Zhan Zhao, regardless of the outcome, would be enough to settle the score for the 'cat and mouse rivalry'.

Although he had never met Zhan Zhao before, he figured he couldn't be a bad person. After all, in the martial arts world, there are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames.

The fact that Zhan Zhao was given the title of "Southern Hero" in the martial arts world is a testament to his character. Since entering the martial arts world, Zhan Zhao has used his superb martial arts skills to help those in distress, uphold justice, and do many good deeds.

It's not shameful to lose to someone like that.
