Before entering the next level, the two of them have a long time to get along with each other day and night.
Even though this couple is in name only, they can hide it perfectly in front of outsiders. They stayed in the same room and slept on the same bed; they went out together and came back together; Brother Aniu painted Yaoyao's eyebrows, and Yaoyao bathed and changed clothes for Brother Aniu.
They would even be together when feeding the horses. Due to poverty, they could not afford expensive fodder, so most of the time they had to find nettles and other ubiquitous weeds on the roadside to feed their horses.
One person was walking around holding the fodder, while the other person was humming a tune to soothe the horse, then gently handed the food to it, coaxing it to chew the hard-to-eat wild vegetables. The horses are the most valuable possessions of this poor couple, so they never allow others to feed them, but always do it themselves.
The fact that Bai Feng and Murong Yan were so harmonious with each other made some real couples envious. Anyway, no one thought that they were using their name as a couple to hide their secrets. Only our "Brother A Niu" and "Aunt Yao" know the stories of each school.
Even though Shang Baifeng and Murong Yan had been close to each other before this, if they really wanted to become husband and wife, it would be impossible for them to be in love with each other. So far, it seems that they all have a tacit consensus on this matter - at first, it feels wonderful to have each other's world exclusively, especially for two people who are already attracted to each other. The other person's every smile, every move, and every move was infinitely beautified by his passionate heart.
The other party's very ordinary glance in the eyes of others may be able to completely conquer him in a moment of relaxed thinking. Whether it's the poorly dressed man or the graceful woman, in fact they are just upright and youthful boys and girls.
They will naively think, how can there be such handsome and charming eyes in this world? How could he have such deep and delicate eyes? Then they naturally immersed themselves in the secret meetings of love. If they hadn't occasionally seen wanted notices about themselves, they might still be dreaming of hiding from the world and never doing anything else.
As time goes by, the disadvantages of this kind of life will soon become apparent. It can make people in trouble forget their sorrows, and it is easy to plunge into the land of gentleness, gradually forgetting how to get out of the trouble, and finally stop moving forward completely.
The good thing is that they still have each other, but the sad thing is that they don't have the conditions to maintain this relationship.
One night, as usual, they were in the guest room of a hotel or inn, preparing to turn off the lights and go to bed. There is always a sword between the beds where the two of them sleep. The scabbard is covered with bandages. It is like a silent Chu River and Han boundary, telling them that the current situation does not allow for romance. .
Bai Feng suddenly joked about this little rule: "Look at me, I must keep my sword close to my body when I sleep - how can a person who can be killed at any time really be a 'good husband' as the passers-by say?" '?"
Murong Yan replied: "Then I might be kidnapped by gangsters at any time? So, we are really a 'match made in heaven'..."
The two of them spoke one after another, and after a short silence, they looked at each other and smiled in front of the flowers and under the moonlight.
Afterwards, they began to treat their emotions with more restraint than before. They both knew that they didn't want to let each other down, so they let the dry wood touch the raging fire, but also quietly covered it in their own beds, letting the enthusiasm cool down, and using more strength and energy on the road tomorrow.
Sometimes such condensed feelings are more pure. They like and appreciate each other, so they naturally think about each other.
In the eyes of travelers in the world of mortals, they are still a poor and happy actor couple. Privately, they cherish every contact, conversation, and look at each other more than ever. For Bai Feng and Murong Yan, such simple and carefree days are indeed becoming less and less with each passing day.
A few days passed after that night, and they passed through various villages and towns, including Qunma Town. Bai Feng originally wanted to turn into the mausoleum where Yuan Fengzi was located, and pay homage to E Feiying, who died blocking a knife for him. Unexpectedly, the closer the road got to Cangzhou, the denser the guards and garrison became. In order to reduce the possibility of exposing his identity, he had no choice but to give up and continue to act according to the original plan and go straight to Cangzhou City.
There are more guards on the road, more people, and more rumors.
Countless people have spread word of mouth that the government has stepped up rectification in recent days just because Yin Qianchou, the right-hand man of the great eunuch Mei Lin, has disappeared nearby!
As for why he disappeared, there are even more different opinions. Some people even used this incident as a basis for setting up a storyteller stall on the streets of Cangzhou City. Many people in the countryside learned about this from the storyteller, and then brought the news to small villages and small towns hundreds of miles outside the city.
It can be seen that this matter has indeed caused a stir in the city, and the names Bai Feng and Murong Yan have become spread by word of mouth. Some people denounced these two men as male and female evil spirits. They robbed homes and harmed countless people along the way. Now they have killed Eunuch Mei's right-hand man and many Taiping Taoists. It is simply a heinous crime!
However, another view is obviously more dominant.
Another theory comes from the streets and alleys of Cangzhou City, in which Bai Feng and Murong Yan are the embodiment of kindness and justice. They don't know where they come from or where they are going. Only when they see trouble on the road will they draw their swords to help and defeat the villains. Afterwards, he walked away, hiding his merit and fame.
Such chivalrous stories, which have been widely circulated since the pre-Qin Dynasty, are obviously more in line with the simple aesthetic sentiments of the people. Naturally, this is inseparable from what the princes and bureaucrats do to the people in daily life: vigorously supporting Taipingdao and letting it numb the hearts of the people is one of the reasons; allowing the bureaucrats under them to form cliques for personal gain, fight for power and profit, and disregard human lives for this reason two.
In fact, "Brother A Niu" and "Yao Yao" are not perfect. They had heard such stories, and they couldn't help but blush, and secretly laughed at themselves: "If we were so powerful, how could we end up like this?"
However, Bai Feng and Murong Yan were also deeply grateful for this. It is enough to see that many people are willing to open their eyes and see clearly the injustice of this world.
Outside Cangzhou City, their deeds had already spread so much that almost no one noticed the actor couple coming from afar. Even the guards in front of the city gate were exchanging passionate eloquence.
"Brother, let me ask you, that Bai Feng killed so many people, should he be caught and brought to justice?"
Bai Feng looked at the guard in front of him and asked, and suddenly he didn't know how to answer. After thinking for a moment, Murong Yan thought that the young swordsman was feeling deeply guilty, so she rushed to speak: "Brother A Niu, I want to ask you a question, no." Did you hear that?"
"Yao Yao, I...I don't know him, how should I answer!"
The guard guard said again: "You don't know him? The town a hundred miles away is making a fuss! Although the Yin Qianchou killed by Bai Feng was indeed an out-and-out bastard, that's not the case. We, Eunuch Mei’s people! If he dies, it’s us who suffer! Now we have to patrol every night and hunt every day, and we are so tired that we have even forgotten to eat..."
After listening to the official complaining for a long time, he remembered his duty and released the actor and his wife into the city.
Bai Feng and Murong Yan were also vaguely aware that Su Qing must have been behind the scenes to spread the news so vigorously.
