In view of the recent encounters with people from all walks of life, Bai Feng and Murong Yan no longer dare to act rashly. However, what they did affected innocent people, namely E Binghuan and others. These people's life and death are uncertain and their whereabouts are unknown.
A huge sense of guilt came to their hearts, forcing them to temporarily stop running and stand on the bow of the ship to think about countermeasures.
The extremely melancholy people stood on the boat and leaned on the railing to look into the distance - the river in front of them would occasionally turn up white waves, mixed with many tiny bubbles; under the blue and white sky, people were still continuing their lives, and the river bank On the side are those fishing and setting up nets, those brokering goods and soliciting customers, those coming and going in a hurry... They all go about their own business without interfering with each other.
Dozens of fishing boats and merchant ships docked here, and the not-so-long shoreline was dotted with people and boats. A soldier and a trafficker, he is covered in dust. Everyone is continuing their livelihood, and even under the scorching sun, their enthusiasm cannot be interrupted. In the brothel shop not far away, you can still see the laughing boatman brothers who are about to enter the shop and spend all the money they just earned from boating.
Everything seems to have not changed at all because of anything... That girl with resolute steps and heroic appearance has gradually become difficult to detect her existence when she enters this world: in the eyes of others, she is indeed just a girl. A passer-by.
No one else here will know that the woman in red lost her father who loved her not long ago.
Bai Feng and the others knew the inside story very well - the "venomous snake" curled up in the dark finally showed its fangs and bit "Mr. Dongguo" who promoted them to death. The peace in front of me is just that the undercurrent of the times has not yet affected this place. They know that Taipingdao will only become more and more rampant in the future. Until the day when its ambition is completely exposed, the world may have undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Brother Zhao, you and Miss Ajuan will continue to buy goods. My little sister will follow Yan'er and I to find Miss E when we come back..." The young swordsman straightened out the black robe and put it on. He put on his hood, covered his face, and said: "Master E's life and death are uncertain, and we cannot let his little daughter encounter any more mishaps..."
After hearing this, Zhao Kuo nodded in agreement, and then took Ajuan off the boat to buy various necessities.
After a while, after Murong Yan finished her disguise, the remaining three people walked to Daijiazhuang to look for the person. The little girl with a flawless white top and ink jade-patterned dress walked in front, leading behind Bai Feng, who was dressed in black, and Murong Yan, who was wearing a plain white veil, completely covering her face.
At first, the little sister was a little confused about Bai Feng's arrangement, but after thinking about it for a moment, she quickly understood the other party's intention. Because she is the most "inconspicuous" among these people and avoids leaving suspicious traces everywhere, she is the most suitable for this job of searching for people.
After dispelling her doubts, the younger sister also actively walked to the vendors and passers-by everywhere and asked: "Brother, have you ever seen a knight in red wearing a pair of swords passing by..."
Bai Feng and Murong Yan were quietly watching and waiting not far away, closely following the steps of the little sister, protecting her closely while ensuring that they remained silent at all times.
Now, they must be extremely cautious in everything they say and do. At this time when the enemy is outnumbered, any mistake may ruin the opportunity to move forward.
They walked through the streets and alleys, questioned no less than ten people, large and small, and finally found E Feiying in front of the local government office. At that time, she had probably just come out of the government office. She was sitting alone in front of the two stone lions in the mansion, holding a wanted warrant in her hand, thinking deeply.
Since Bai Feng and Murong Yan were both inconvenient to appear in front of the officials, they asked their younger sister to invite E Feiying over. It's just that the younger sister's words were like floating clouds and didn't carry much weight, so Miss E Wu decisively refused.
Seeing the disgraced Zhao Xiaomei coming back alone, Murong Yan immediately asked: "Little sister, what's wrong with Sister Ying?"
"Sister Ying...she seems to be planning something and doesn't want us to get involved..."
After Bai Feng heard about it, he immediately came up with a plan to trick E Feiying into asking for details. This plan is basically to let the younger sister spread false news, joking that Bai Feng and Murong Yan accidentally fell into the siege of the government and Taiping Road, and use this excuse to lure E Feiying into the deep alley where they are.
The little girl stared at her eyes and after listening to every word, she agreed and applauded repeatedly, because E Feiying's temperament was so strong and forthright, she would definitely draw the sword directly without thinking. Afterwards, the little sister went to the stone lion statue at the entrance of the government office again to talk to E Feiying. As expected, Miss E Wu immediately drew her sword and followed.
When she saw Bai Feng and Murong Yan safe and sound, E Feiying's anxious expression instantly turned into a bitter smile, and she suddenly said: "Bai Feng, you stinky boy..."
"Miss E...what are you planning?"
"This matter has nothing to do with you!" After E Feiying said this, she turned around and prepared to walk away. Fortunately, her little sister blocked the way, allowing her to stay where she was.
"Sister Ying, is it Mr. E who..." As soon as Murong Yan finished speaking, E Feiying suddenly straightened up and was stunned for a moment, then she covered her face tightly and began to cry uncontrollably.
"Miss E..." Bai Feng saw that the other party had lost all strength and fell to the ground due to excessive grief, so he went over with the little girl beside him to help him kindly.
Instead of being thanked for his kindness, he gained a strong sense of resistance from E Feiying. She shouted with a tearful voice: "How many times have I told you, this is my family matter, this is my family feud! What does it have to do with you? Do you know? I don't want to see your heads missing, even if It’s better to pay for it with my life than to watch you get killed!”
"Master E, what happened to him?" Zhao Xiaomei couldn't bear such a huge emotional impact and asked with a mournful face.
"The body was found hanging in the bedroom. He died with a sword through the heart..." E Feiying replied: "I found this out from the Yamen. Maybe it is not the case, but Sima Tu did have ulterior motives. I will definitely take it. Take his head, no matter what..."
Bai Feng then said in peace: "Miss E, ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. You and I are alone now, and we are simply not strong enough to fight against Sima Tu's power. I hope you will think again!"
"I'm not a 'gentleman', I'm just a crazy woman now, an arrogant, willful, self-righteous crazy woman... If I could think carefully, I would still go out of my way to bring in reinforcements... to save you?" E Fei She choked up and laughed at herself several times while speaking in English. Finally, when she met the young swordsman's eyes, she pursed her lips disapprovingly and cursed softly: "You bastard, why do you suddenly appear next to me..."
The few people confronted each other for a moment, until E Feiying lost her spirit and strength from crying and no longer expressed rejection of other people's care, then they returned to the merchant ship together with Zhao Kuo and Ajuan. meet.
