The assassin successfully stabbed the target to death, while at the same time killing the kindness and innocence in his heart bit by bit.
After that night of massacre, Bai Feng immediately claimed through Murong Yan that she was ill, refused to see guests, and could not leave home for more than half a month. Except for Murong Yan, he ignored anyone who summoned him.
Annoyance, regret, and hatred are not enough to describe Bai Feng's complex mood now. He felt that he had no face to face the disciples in Yuyi Academy, no face to face Zhao Xiaomei, Ajuan, Zichai and others who worshiped him as a knight of He Fang.
He is going through something that everyone may face - if one day you become the person you least want to be, how will you choose the next path?
Bai Feng once wanted to use the sword in his hand and his martial arts to protect the weak in sight and the people he loved. This is the ancient way of a knight, and he can always stand up for others without any reason.
Today is different from the past. Now, what he holds in his hand is no longer the sword of a knight, but the sword of "the people of the world". This sword can not only kill evil, but also open up a new era. It is infinitely powerful. If you are not careful, the swordsman himself will be backlashed by its powerful power and eventually become possessed.
Murong Yan never took the initiative to ask Bai Feng why she wanted to do the assassination, but the young swordsman asked Murong Yan more than once: "Yan'er, do you think I did it right?"
"I believe in you. At any time, I believe that what Brother Feng does will not be for herself." The Xianbei witch always gave a reply that moved Bai Feng to tears.
After a short conversation, the young swordsman would stare at the Longming Sword placed in the distance for a long time. It was not until Murong Yan prepared tea and snacks that he got up from the bed and ate something to maintain his strength.
He could often hear his junior brothers gathered outside the house and exchanging their names: "Senior Brother Bai Feng! Senior Brother Bai Feng!"
"Senior Sister Murong, how is Senior Brother Bai?"
"Senior Brother Bai, come out, I have already figured out how to defeat you!"
If the junior brothers were too kind to refuse, Murong Yan had to pretend to convey their words to Bai Feng's ears, then walked back to the door and reported: "Your senior brother said that he is not feeling well, so why don't we come back the next day?"
In fact, Bai Feng heard clearly what the junior brothers said, he was just too shy to meet everyone. For this reason, in his spare time, he began to think about why he was shaken after stabbing General Yao to death.
After half a month of thinking, he finally plucked up the courage. One day during lunch, when Murong Yan brought warm tea and snacks as usual, Bai Feng had been hesitating in the room for a long time.
Seeing that the other party still dressed himself up so exquisitely and elegantly today, the young swordsman had a dirty beard and was covered in the odor that would come from not washing for several days.
However, when Murong Yan saw his solemn eyes, she knew that he had something to say, so she took the initiative to move forward, took Bai Feng's hand and walked to the low table together, and laughed softly: "Eat!"
Bai Feng happily accepted the offer, and after eating a few bites, she immediately asked, "Yan'er, do you think General Yao deserves to die?"
"Brother Feng, you know, I don't want anyone to die..." Murong Yan frowned slightly, and sat sideways as if she felt uncomfortable, with only her left side facing Bai Feng, and said: "I'm afraid you want to laugh at me as a woman. Are you benevolent?"
Murong Yan sighed and watched the disciples outside the room practicing martial arts with the thief Su Qing.
Bai Feng saw that the other party seemed to be secretly upset, pouting secretly, and then walked away, took Murong Yan's hand, and thanked her solemnly: "Yan'er, not only will I not laugh at you, I will I can’t wait to thank you! Thank you for never doubting me..."
"As for General Yao, didn't we already understand it when we were looking for the 'Yixiao Huangquan'? He secretly colluded with power and fought for power and profit with the Zhao family. How could he let things go unchecked when he destroyed the tranquility of Yuyi Town?" Bai Feng It was just words. As soon as he started speaking, he immediately calmed down and continued.
"However, when I saw General Yao watching me die, I suddenly regretted it. I always felt that assassination should not be the only way to solve the problem... In today's situation, who can guarantee that I will be able to serve as an official? Are you more innocent than General Yao? You must be more strict in running the army than General Yao?"
"Brother Feng's guess is good!" Murong Yan said: "Brother Tiger Eye told me that just a few days after General Yao's death, a deputy general who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun was promoted to the position of temporary general."
Bai Feng rubbed the back of Murong Yan's hand with his thumb and continued: "At that moment, I hesitated, so I panicked and chose the right path... In the past half month, I began to recall Yan'er's many previous instructions, you Let me not draw my sword and kill people at will. After experiencing this, I understand your good intentions."
"Okay, don't say any more." Murong Yan choked up several times when she heard Bai Feng's words. She was afraid that he would collapse again and cry in her arms again. She comforted her and said, "General Yao, for the sake of marriage, you can My daughter is betrothed to a man who 'likes men', and I know he is not a good person. So, you must not lie to me again in the future."
Bai Feng nodded silently, and after the two of them looked at each other for a while, he suddenly asked: "How is the academy doing lately?"
"Everything is stable, but Yao Jidao hasn't been here for a long time."
"Well, I will remember this name." Bai Feng replied. Murong Yan knew that his inner demon had been eliminated, so she continued to inform the academy of the latest news, saying: "Senior Tao Wuyong will be here in the next few days. Come, do you want to go and have a few words with Mr. Su?"
"Who else is coming to visit?"
"You want to know what's going on with Mr. Zhao?"
"Yes, as expected of Yan'er, you always know what I'm thinking."
After hearing this, Murong Yan moved to another place and brought out a thick stack of letters, more than a dozen of them!
"These are all sent by A-Bian, saying that they want to be seen by Shaoxia Bai with his own eyes." After Murong Yan said this, she was about to open the first letter, but Bai Feng decisively stopped the action.
"No, burn all the letters. I don't want to see his letters." Bai Feng looked at the name of the sender sternly and said, "Next time if A-Bian comes to visit again, give him a few taels of silver and let him He went back and told Brother Zhao that if Brother Zhao hadn't come in person, I would never go out to meet people."
When Murong Yan heard Bai Feng's request, she immediately understood the conspiracy, and smiled contemptuously: "Aren't you brothers? Why are you so mysterious? Do you want to plot something else? "
"Yan'er, if you sit next to me then, I'm sorry that Zhao Kuo won't dare to act rashly!" There was a hidden anger in Bai Feng's forbearance, as if he was confronting Zhao Kuo, who was far away, out of thin air, "Yan Son, when the Yao family is mourning, can you send them a message for me?"
"Okay, Brother Feng."
"Tell them that I will definitely make Yuyi Town better."
