The blessings from friends in the Western Regions are still vivid in my mind, but reality has been reluctant to respond to those beautiful wishes.
The first day passed, and the second day passed... In the blink of an eye, they had spent seven days at the Chamber of Commerce Station after bidding farewell to Apollos.
During these days, Bai Feng and Su Qing took turns exploring the streets. They had been to Jile Tower, to the tea tree fields in the suburbs, and to look for Mrs. Xia, but they could not find Tong Yao's location.
The young man from an aristocratic family who managed to survive in the name of a playboy suddenly disappeared from public view for several days after he revealed his true feelings to four strangers.
No one knows the reason, even the "initiators" can only make a rough guess. Among them, Bai Feng's personal feelings were naturally the most profound. He felt uneasy because of the imminent difficulties and days of thinking. He was always used to shaving his beard, and even forgot to take care of his face. However, a few days later His face was covered with stubble.
He thought about it and felt that if he visited Tong's house rashly, his identity would be suspected, and he would be too passive if he just sat there waiting for death. In the end, he was torn between two ideas all day long, which would inevitably lead to the whole person becoming very gloomy.
When he was in a dilemma, he tried to vent his emotions by practicing sword dancing. So during these seven days, every morning in the Chamber of Commerce, everyone could see a swordsman with a violent face waving a sword out of thin air.
When he was tired from practicing, he would sit next to him and take a sip of water and wine cooked by someone else, and then sit on the floor next to him and play the flute. Except for a woman with a veil on her face who was willing to approach him, no one else dared to talk to him easily.
One day, Bai Feng accidentally saw his dejected appearance from the small pond in the courtyard while practicing swordsmanship. Suddenly, he squatted beside the pond like crazy and put his head into the water, because he thought it would make him feel better. .
Upon seeing this, Murong Yan rushed over immediately, helped him raise his head, and greeted him cordially: "Brother Feng, what are you doing? Get up quickly, don't get dizzy!"
The young swordsman was not ambiguous at all. He immediately raised his head after hearing the sound, stared blankly ahead, and muttered: "Why, why..."
"What are you talking about?" Murong Yan wiped the water droplets off his face and said, "If you want to take a bath, you can't do it outside. It's such a cold day, but you will catch the wind and cold!"
Bai Feng remained silent, stood up and returned to the house. The house of the Chamber of Commerce is not intended for long-term living, so the furnishings are simple and elegant, and the furniture and furnishings are very few. However, Bai Feng's residence only has a low table and a simple wooden bed, and there is a small small table on the low table. The oven is used to burn charcoal for heating.
When the young swordsman entered the room, he placed the Longming Sword on the table and slept directly beside the bed, pretending to be asleep for a long time. It wasn't until Murong Yan shyly walked to her side to say hello that Bai Feng replied seriously: "Why do you always follow me?"
"He is obviously so incompetent and such an arrogant person, haha." Bai Feng laughed self-deprecatingly, then sat up, lowered his head, looking unusually depressed, and said: "I didn't know why before, General Tong always looked like that. It reminds me of my master. Now, just now, I know. It turns out that all of us are frustrated people."
Murong Yan rolled her eyes at him, feeling that the other party didn't know what he was talking about, and said quietly: "Wait, let me heat some hot water for you to take a bath?"
"Brother Su, have they come back?" Bai Feng asked.
Murong Yan answered truthfully, "No! They went there for a whole day and didn't come back. I think they went to travel around, right?"
"One is a fake dandy, one is a real prodigal, and I am a fake hermit, huh! How can these people trust each other and achieve success for each other?" Bai Feng said to himself, looking at Murong Yan in disbelief: "Yan'er... General Tong and Master, they all work for the future and safety of the people of Li. Why are they so ruthlessly suppressed and excluded in the end!"
Murong Yan said: "I don't know how to answer, but I know that Brother Feng will definitely be able to accomplish something great. If you don't believe in them, you should believe in me, right?"
Before he finished speaking, greetings from Su Qing and Zichai came from outside the door. As if they had made an appointment with Murong Yan, they came directly to the door as soon as they entered the chamber of commerce. Murong Yan immediately turned her head to answer the door, leaving Bai Feng sitting there alone.
Thinking of his former master and current Tong Yao, Bai Feng was surprised to find that his life was slowly approaching the frustrated lives of the two of them.
Seeing Su Qing, who was still leisurely playing around, standing outside the door and dancing, Bai Feng could no longer bear the resentment in her heart, and immediately rushed out of the door beam and asked aggressively: "Mr. Su, it seems that you are very leisurely. ? Why don’t you go play for two or three days? Zhao Xiaomei’s marriage has nothing to do with you anyway.”
"It doesn't matter, I'm her... big brother!" Su Qing boasted, "Brother Bai's implication is that he wants to drive me away?"
Zi Chai then responded: "Mr. Bai, we are not going out to play, although we are playing...but this is Sister Murong's permission! She said that General Tong will definitely come to us."
"Sister Murong?" Bai Feng knew that it was Murong Yan who had done it, and immediately lost most of her anger: "Yan'er, you..."
Murong Yan didn't wait for Bai Feng to finish what she said, she took the purple hairpin and sneaked away, leaving only a witty saying: "Let's go warm the bath water for the two brothers!"
Seeing the desolate surroundings, the remaining two decided to get together and drink hot tea to kill time.
Su Qing knew that Bai Feng was resentful, so she apologized to him face to face and said, "Brother Bai, don't worry too much. Zi Chai and I have inquired about it. General Tong has been either in the military camp or at home these days, so we I can’t find anyone else at all!”
"I know, I wrongly blamed you." Bai Feng showed a little regret and poured a pot of tea for the other party.
"It was the Holy Lady's permission that allowed us to go out for some air. Thanks to me, I took that 'silly girl' Zi Chai on a camel and walked around Woye Town. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found out that General Tong was there. Inside the military camp."
When Bai Feng heard the name "Saint Lady", she couldn't help but snicker secretly, and asked: "Brother Su, do you really treat Yan'er as a Saint Lady?"
"Why not? Lord Saint, she knows things like a god, she is considerate, her blood can detoxify and cure all diseases, she is simply a god in the sky! If you ask me, no god in the sky is as good as her! Brother Bai, if you dare to make her suffer a little injustice, I will be the first to trouble you!"
The young swordsman knew that Tong Yao was no longer as lavish as before, which was indeed good news for them. This meant that their arrival had indeed changed some things, and the real big changes might be coming in the near future. future.
