Returning to the old place this time, Bai Feng didn't have any special feelings, neither excitement nor fear.
He once plotted to kill the "Seven Sons of the Big Dipper" of Taiping Dao here, and once challenged Empress Gao to a sword fight, but now everything has passed.
In my heart, I feel calm. The Jianghu Xiaoxiao I killed last night seems to have never existed. They are all embellishments on the journey.
The dripping pool of blood suddenly rippled at the edge.
Hands covered with blood.
Bai Feng remained indifferent. His eyes were firm and he could only see the front.
The door of the Gao family's mansion is never opened to anyone at will. Even though the eldest sister Gao Xijun is the only one left in the family now, she rarely interacts with the noble relatives in the city.
However, Bai Feng could easily enter and leave through the gate, and he had just killed someone in the city.
Gao Xijun called Bai Feng over early in the morning to ask him to explain the ins and outs of what happened last night.
"I originally wanted to give them money to tell the people in Jinyang that Bai Feng is back! At the same time, I can also free up a clean place for Yan'er and the others." He seemed to be suddenly asked about his family affairs, and then answered casually: "
As a result, everyone saw it, and if they don’t kill him, no one will believe that Bai Feng is still alive.”
Gao Xijun frowned and held up his gray hair: "You, you, you, five years have passed, and your behavior has not changed. On the contrary, it has become worse! Haven't you suffered enough from the past?!"
"Mrs. Xijun, I am only acting according to the plan. I cannot betray my friends." Bai Feng bowed and said, "Bai Feng will not stay long. When I get rid of Taiping Dao, he will leave."
Gao Xijun has nothing to say.
After a while, Murong Yan and her two companions met the owner of the mansion.
When Gao Xijun saw Murong Yan arriving, he immediately asked someone to push a wheelbarrow and came to her in person, asking with concern: "Yan'er, are you okay? You were shackled all the way, it was really hard on you...
"
"Thank you, Mrs. Xijun, for your concern. If it weren't for these shackles that forced me to pretend to be a witch captured by the Taiping Taoists, how could we have gotten through it?" Murong Yan did not feel aggrieved, but comforted Gao Xijun and joked: "I still
I have to thank it for keeping me safe all the way."
Gao Xijun couldn't help sighing: "You guys, why are you doing this? You have obviously disappeared for five years, and now is the most dangerous and complicated time, and you are back again?! Feng'er, Yan'er, just think it's for yourself,
You should never leave everything behind and return to Jinyang."
Murong Yan looked solemn and replied: "Mrs. Xijun, we made this decision just for ourselves. Brother Feng has fulfilled the last wish of the 'master'. If Mrs. Xijun is not willing to take him in, we will not force him."
Gao Xijun shook his head and said, "You go out first and let me be alone."
Without the high general, the Gao family's mansion is much deserted. Only a few female relatives are still staying with Gao Xijun to take care of daily life. The remaining empty houses have been unoccupied in recent years and are all covered with dust.
Murong Yan walked through several doors, and Bai Feng's past experiences here slowly emerged before her eyes. She seemed to be able to feel the dispute between Bai Feng and the Gao family, and saw the traces of Bai Feng walking around all night and thinking.
There is a slowly moving dark cloud in the morning glow in the distance. If you look closely, you will find that it is a group of wild geese flying towards the south. They seem to have only one direction and one heart, but they are actually divided into several groups. Each time they pass by, they are divided into several groups. It changes formation for a distance and then disappears behind the clouds.
The final destination may be different for each goose.
"Yan'er!" Bai Feng appeared at the corner of the rotten house: "Just now a little girl told me that an old friend came to the living room."
The two of them went over together and saw He Ba Yu'er and Yu Ke interrogating the visitor.
"Are you really the person sent by His Royal Highness?"
"Ake, do you know him?"
When the man saw Bai Feng and Murong Yan, he walked over to greet them enthusiastically: "Brother Bai, and...the Holy Lady, Tong Yun has met you two here."
Bai Feng said with great joy: "Brother! How have you been these past years?"
Tongyun said: "It's nothing. I have traveled around these years and seen the world. I come back to Jinyang once every six months to see my wife and children."
Murong Yan asked: "Is it Yingying? You have a child!"
Tong Yun scratched his head, a little shy: "It's Yingying, but I'm probably not a competent father. Alas, I always have no time to spare, and sometimes I'm really afraid that one day I will die on the way back to Jinyang."
Bai Feng thought of Tong Yun's former appearance - that somewhat feminine appearance, which was now covered up by dark and shiny skin.
"What are you doing outside?" Bai Feng asked: "If I remember correctly, my brother is not like a person who is short of money and opportunities."
Tongyun said: "I want to see outside and see how everyone is doing outside of Jinyang?"
Murong Yan said: "Does Mr. Tong have the answer?"
"It's not so good. Everyone is living a life that is neither human nor ghost. Few babies can survive to adulthood normally. Young people have no legitimate livelihood to do, and the elderly have no family to support them. In this way, Taiping Road has the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Enter." Tongyun lamented and continued: "No matter how good I am, I am just a ranger. I can't help everyone, so what should I do with the people who haven't been helped? I often have to admit that Taipingdao is because of this problem. Everyone makes a difference.”
Bai Feng sternly rebuked: "Is what they do is to teach people to give up everything completely? No, this is not what people really want. They are just temporarily deceived. When they die tragically, no one will regret it."
"Brother Bai is right, I am still not as strong-willed as you." Tong Yun found a place to sit down, and invited Bai Feng and Murong Yan to sit down as if they were guests: "To be honest, my trip is entrusted by His Highness the Crown Prince. When the prince learned that Brother Bai had appeared in Jinyang, he immediately came to me and asked me to deliver a secret order. I didn't read the content, but before that, I still have something to ask of me."
Bai Feng accepted the secret order and asked, "What is the entrustment?"
"Brother Bai, do you remember Yuchi Zhen, brother Yuchi?" Tongyun said: "Brother Yuchi has been doing his job conscientiously since he was reinstated. He has solved several strange cases one after another. He was promoted to the minister of Dali Temple not long ago! Isn't it amazing? But my brother just couldn’t get over it and insisted on looking over that old case. In order to help Mei Xinghe, brother Yuchi took out the case of Mei Xinghe’s biological father Luo Pengfei who died in the line of duty and investigated it, and as expected, he hit a hard target.”
Murong Yan asked: "Did something happen to Mr. Yuchi?"
"Mei Xinghe has disappeared, and has not been seen for three full months!" Tongyun took out a kit from his arms, which contained the forged household registration and name: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave this to you, take it first, At present, Jinyang is still heavily guarded, and the situation in the north is still very anxious. His Royal Highness plans to wait until the time is right before dispatching troops out of the city to create opportunities for Brother Bai to enter the palace! During this period, if Brother Bai is willing, you can go to Dali Let’s talk to Brother Yuchi about the case.”
After Tongyun finished speaking, he solemnly bowed his hands to everyone and said goodbye.
I don’t know what kind of bloody storm is going to happen in this glorious imperial city.
