That night, she found that there was still no news from Bai Feng who had been out all day. Murong Yan's restless heart could no longer bear it.
Due to Bai Feng's instructions, she could not go outside at will, but she had walked to the door of the business more than once and asked Mr. Jiang, the doorman, and the merchants coming in and out the same question - have they seen Bai Feng? Figure?
Although Murong Yan knew that most of the other party's answers would only make her more disappointed, if she didn't even try hard to do this meaningless thing, she would have no choice but to let the bad emotions permeate her body.
However, after getting negative answers again and again, countless ominous premonitions sprouted in my heart like bamboo shoots after the rain. The throbbing in her heart became increasingly difficult to stop, and it had reached the point of physical and mental exhaustion.
Later, she even lost the strength and determination to step out of the room. Compared with the previous days and nights of waiting, this separation made her feel extra deeply. She knew that this was an ominous sign.
"What must I do..." she thought, recalling all that had happened in the past.
In Xiahe Town, she insisted on helping the townspeople, so she made friends like Miss E Wu and Doctor Zhang. However, in the end, she lost E Binghuan's life and incurred a blood debt.
"Could it be that this is fate?"
Not long after Murong Yan's sad mood had passed, the familiar copper bell suddenly rang outside the door.
At this time, she just regained her energy and rushed out of the door. I saw the doorkeeper, Mr. Jiang, trying his best to support the half-drunk Bai Feng and guide him back to his room.
Murong Yan stepped away and helped: "Master Jiang, leave him to me."
"Oh, finally someone came to take my place. Those boys would run away whenever something happened, leaving me alone to carry this young master!" Mr. Jiang was full of complaints and looked dissatisfied with the people in front of him. I am also dissatisfied with those lazy boys.
"Didn't I tell you to stop helping me? Why are you so stubborn?" Bai Feng muttered, not forgetting to continue pouring wine into his mouth with the wine gourd: "Yan'er, I..." Before he finished speaking, he went straight He fell into Murong Yan's arms.
"Oh, how can I not help you! Master, if you have any shortcomings, Mr. Zhao will not kill me!"
After saying that, Mr. Jiang safely handed the person into Murong Yan's hands, broke off his crushed waist, and left silently.
Murong Yan didn't know where she got the strength to drag the young swordsman back to her room along the same path, and then placed him on the bed.
Bai Feng didn't forget to hug the wine gourd tightly while sleeping on it. In the end, Murong Yan had to steal away when he relaxed a little, so that Bai Feng stopped pouring wine for her.
The young swordsman didn't stop and kept mumbling: "I don't know...how to do it...I don't know, Yan'er..." He looked very distressed.
Murong Yan worriedly complained from the side: "I knew you went out to drink again, brat, don't let me catch you next time!"
Unexpectedly, after encountering this anger, Bai Feng couldn't help but started to cry bitterly, and then used the quilt as a handkerchief to wipe away her tears and nose. It was this move that made him suddenly realize that this was not his room.
"Yan'er?" Bai Feng felt that he had never been so awake before. He immediately looked at Murong Yan who was sitting on the bedside and said, "I never said I would come here..."
"Do you know that your injury has not healed yet?" Murong Yan asked helplessly: "I didn't cry just now, why are you crying on your own!"
"I'm sorry, I really didn't know what to do, so I went to ask for a bottle of wine..." Bai Feng sat up and continued: "Yan'er, you don't know, what exactly did I ask from the boss of Money Rat? Something happened. There is actually something fishy about the robbery of the ten thousand taels of silver, not only General Yao, Yixiao Huangquan, Money Rat, but also..."
"Who else?" Murong Yan responded: "Brother Feng, tell me, Yan'er will never tell anyone!"
"And the Zhao family! Although the rat hunchback didn't tell me directly, but..." Bai Feng stood up suddenly, faced the front with an angry look, and said: "I have no evidence, and everything I say is empty talk! Tomorrow, the rat will Hunchback, he will send someone to take me to find the 'Yixiao Huangquan'. I want to capture him personally and question him, and I cannot let General Yao get there first and kill and silence him."
"Are you going alone? Brother Feng, are you obviously going to die? Please think twice, Yan'er can no longer watch you take risks."
"Yan'er, you don't even believe me?" Bai Feng laughed repeatedly, maybe laughing at the stupidity of others, or maybe laughing at his own arrogance, "Wuchuan Town has soldiers approaching, and what Yuyi Town needs most now is soldiers. Recruit troops. , you rely on your reputation, and the people will only enlist in the army if they are convinced by you."
"Presumably the Zhao family should have carried out the batch of silver taels for relief to the Lou family with great fanfare, and then General Yao would clear the road in the middle so that 'Yixiao Huangquan' could go and rob the tens of thousands of taels of silver. Some of the silver taels obtained were used as military supplies. Some of it is regarded as the cost of hiring Yixiao Huangquan."
Only then did Murong Yan understand, and then she said in disbelief: "In this case, the Zhao family will eventually get a name of 'benevolence and righteousness' because they braved hardships to help their old friends. General Yao's success in defeating the bandits will also greatly boost the morale of the army." .Whoever fights for them will get what they want."
"Poor Miss Lou, she still believes Zhao Wei's words." Bai Feng lamented and said: "Seeing Miss Lou looking forward to the Zhao family who doesn't take her into their hearts at all, I feel more and more that these so-called powerful people are really Extremely shameless!"
"Then Mr. Zhao, does he know about this?"
"Brother Zhao probably doesn't know much about him, otherwise he wouldn't be so generous and promised to help Miss Lou." Bai Feng said: "That's why I decided to ask clearly for myself, even if it's an unknown person, so what? I must Expose these dirty transactions and let the truth come to light."
"Brother Feng, you will die..." Murong Yan's tone gradually became lowered, and she seemed to have found a deeper reason for her previous abnormal emotions.
Bai Feng replied categorically: "Yan'er, I have a way to get close to 'Yixiao Huangquan'. Don't worry, I will definitely come back alive!"
"Okay then..." Murong Yan said: "I have prepared a medicinal bath in your room, which will be good for your wounds. Then, I will send you a hangover soup."
The two looked at each other affectionately for a moment, then both smiled at each other, and then the young swordsman returned to the room.
The fire in the kitchen was quite lively that night, the medicinal soup was boiling in the frying pan, and the aroma of the medicine could float for miles, but no one would ever know what Murong Yan secretly did in the medicinal soup.
