The law of balance of fate always makes people feel deeply emotional. While losing something, you will also gain something.
Ever since Bai Feng was accidentally knocked unconscious by Murong Yan's little trick that night, his mood has never calmed down. He will never forget that sad and ridiculous feeling.
He has the temperament of a ranger, but he is never dissolute; his eyes are firm, and he is always thinking about how to practice his own way.
After that night, he completely lost the opportunity to draw a clear line from sin, which meant that he finally entered the world. The hermit who was born in the fields and cultivated in the mountains and forests finally understood some of the principles of living in the human world.
Therefore, the young swordsman just found a compromise. He accepted Murong Yan's admonishment and kept it in mind. He no longer had illusions about people like General Yao, Zhao Wei, and Shu Tuozi, but instead put all his hopes in his heart. Put it all on more meaningful things.
The young swordsman was willing to trust the Zhao brothers and sisters who had the same will as him. If it weren't for the two brothers and sisters who had been getting along with each other for several months, Bai Feng would not have dared to say those words to them.
"Sun" and "Shadow" are interdependent. If the sun is gone, the existence of shadow becomes illusory. As long as the Zhao brothers and sisters are willing to take on the responsibility of the "sun" and continue to benefit all people, then the shadow of Bai Feng will never leave, following those who try to cover the sky with one hand, and then neutralize and destroy their intentions.
Bai Feng knew that both the Zhao brothers and sisters could understand him, so he was confident that Zhao Kuo would come to visit him within three days to discuss important matters with him.
Sure enough, two days after the small gathering at Taiping Taoist Temple, Zhao Kuo came unexpectedly and quietly came to the Zhao family business.
Just as Bai Feng guessed that he was coming, Zhao Kuo also knew that Bai Feng was waiting for news about him. So he quickly passed by the atrium. If he saw other traveling merchants or herdsmen selling cattle and sheep, he would take a detour, pretending not to see them, and trying to keep a low profile.
Except for those few friends, almost no one knew that he had been to the trading house recently. However, Zhao Kuo's original intention was to tell the matter to only Yu Baifeng, but he didn't know that all the people who wanted to see him were waiting in Baifeng's room for him to "throw himself into a trap".
Zhao Kuo walked into his own business as if he was doing something wrong, found Bai Feng's door, knocked on the door and said: "Brother Bai, I'm here, open the door quickly!"
"Brother Zhao, the door is ajar, waiting for you to come!"
The young master of the Zhao family realized that he had a close connection with Bai Feng, so he happily opened the door. However, when he saw Ajuan and Murong Yan sitting there, his face turned dark and he asked, "Why, they are here too? You guys are here too?" These little girls, get out quickly, this young master is about to discuss a big matter with Brother Bai!"
"Ouch! Mr. Zhao has been a young master for a few days and has forgotten all our friends?" Ajuan sneered dissatisfied: "I don't know what kind of good brother he is, but he actually forced his own sister to marry someone he didn't like at all. people!"
Murong Yan also responded: "Mr. Zhao, I didn't expect you to be such a person. You keep saying you love and care for your sister, but in the end you give her to others for personal gain."
"Why, even Miss Murong said that about me!" Zhao Kuo felt extremely ashamed. He stared blankly at Bai Feng's contemptuous smile and said, "Brother Bai, what did you say to them?"
Bai Feng said: "Brother Zhao, please take a seat. I'm just wondering what kind of plan you have come up with to get the best of both worlds."
After hearing this, Zhao Kuo endured the cold looks and sarcasm of others, sat face to face with Bai Feng on the felt, and explained: "The marriage is all for the sake of Yuyi Town. The two girls have also seen Wuchuan with their own eyes." The style of the Zhenheba family is so cruel and fierce, they show no mercy to the weak. Besides, this matter is all decided by the father, and all we children can do is obey orders."
"What's the use of begging for our sympathy? Master Zhao, doesn't he always call himself a gentleman and a real man? How can you tolerate sacrificing a little girl's life for a moment of peace?" Murong Yan was filled with righteous indignation and did not begrudge Zhao Kuo's face, so said.
"Miss Murong, I..."
Before Zhao Kuo could finish his words, Ajuan said: "Ms. Murong is right, our Mr. Zhao is a 'businessman'. My mother-in-law said that businessmen are the most conscientious people in the world. They live for profit. There is no morality to speak of!”
"Ajuan, do you really think so?" Zhao Kuo looked at him in disbelief.
"Isn't that right? I haven't come to visit my family for so many days, but I'm actually staying at home planning such a thing!"
Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly uncontrollable, Bai Feng could only give some advice: "You two girls, why don't you vent your anger later? Brother Zhao must have a lot to say to you. However, let's talk about Zhao first. Brother, please find someone who can solve this urgent problem."
"Brother Bai, are you willing to say a word for me!" Zhao Kuo looked like he was about to be embarrassed by the words of the other two girls. He frowned and said, "About that marriage, I heard about that child." I am very interested in some rumors about the eldest son of the family, Tong Yao. It is said that the eldest son Tong likes to support private prostitutes and has unclean relationships with many women! Therefore, I plan to ask Su Qing from Cangzhou to go to Woye Town to investigate. "
"Su Qing? What do you want him to do?" Bai Feng asked: "Even if that guy is really fond of my little sister, isn't he married to Mrs. Xiang? How can he leave Cangzhou and follow us?"
"Brother Bai, this is because you have limited knowledge!" Zhao Kuo said: "Su Qing had robbed many wedding cars when he was young. There are three recorded cases, and there are countless folk legends. Among them, Mrs. Xiang is One of the people he had robbed. Although this guy did commit some crimes, he did live up to his reputation as a 'robber'. He had solved many cases of forcibly buying civilian girls by himself, so I think if my little sister is in trouble, he can You won’t help, right?”
"Mr. Zhao, are you asking him to rob the wedding car? This is a marriage between a military and a town, how can it be such a child's play!" Murong Yan said: "In my humble opinion, it's not too late to regret the marriage now."
"Repent of the marriage?" Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "Hahaha, Miss Murong, even if it means regretting the marriage, it can only be regretted by them! The marriage is just a show, and all they really want is the money and food from Yuyi Town!"
"It seems that Brother Zhao has a plan in mind?" Bai Feng said, "I don't know what you have in mind."
Zhao Kuo then took out a scroll from his body with the words "Customs Clearance Document" written on it, then handed it to Bai Feng and said: "Brother Bai, take the customs clearance document and go to Cangzhou to find Su Qing first. I have already I have forged your identities, and you and Miss Murong will be on the road together. My father has to arrange the wedding before the first day of the next year, so everyone, we still have three months."
"Yao Gu, Niu Li?" Bai Feng looked at the two names written on the document and seemed to understand. He replied: "Brother Zhao wants us two to send him to Taiping Road and the great eunuch." In Mei Lin’s hands?”
"Of course not!" Zhao Kuo said: "You two are pretending to be 'traveling artists', 'Yao Gu' is the singer, and 'Niu Li' is the husband. You two are from Yuyi Town and are going to Cangzhou to teach and perform. . In this way, even if you follow the official path all the way, others will not doubt your identity!"
"Yao Gu?" Bai Feng and Murong Yan looked at each other, "Niu Li?" The two of them talked to each other, and couldn't help but laugh at each other's lame names.
Ajuan saw that everyone else had something to do, so he came to Zhao Kuo playfully and begged: "Master Zhao, where is the slave's family! The slave's family also wants to go, why don't you give me a funny name too!"
"Ajuan, this road is dangerous and crowded. You can't go there. And we have to keep a low profile as much as possible. We can't even ride in the carriage. How about you stay in Yuyi Town and be my supervisor?"
"Overseer?"
Zhao Kuo vowed, as if he was really entrusting an extremely important matter to Ajuan, and said: "The repair work of that Taoist temple is not simple. If someone supervises it, it will be done twice the result with half the effort! You also want to move into your own house as soon as possible." A house, right? Then hurry up and repair the house before Brother Bai and Miss Murong come back!"
Ajuan jumped up in response and almost fell on Zhao Kuo. He kept saying joyful words, as if the sorrow just now had never existed: "The slave family has wanted to leave here for a long time. These people look at me like a monster, and the slave family has no I want to eat them!”
"You just don't want to change your makeup! Winter is coming, and if you don't want to wear thick clothes, you will freeze to death on the street." Zhao Kuo looked at Ajuan's now slightly rich body and teased: "Look I have treated you well by coming to our Zhao Family Trading Company. Now Ajuan can hardly wear his old clothes! Hahaha..."
"Ah? No way...my mother made this for me, so I can't throw it away! Hey, Mr. Zhao, you took me to the town to make a new set of clothes, right?" Ajuan pursed her lips and smiled. Appearing innocent.
"Why not! Let's say goodbye first. Brother Bai, Miss Murong, please take care of yourself along the way."
After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye to the two people in front of him, and said goodbye.
