He Ba Hongyi followed Zichai and walked through several mansions. He felt that the road was surprisingly quiet. Compared with the academy when he was begging yesterday, the academy in the morning was as solemn and solemn as a temple.
He looked around, fearing that he might go astray inadvertently. He was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe.
Not long after, a clear ringtone came from the other side. He Ba Hongyi raised his eyebrows and saw a graceful girl slowly walking behind the stone arch in front of him.
"Ah? It's Mr. He Ba, you're really here!" Seeing the woman in front of him wearing an old gray-green cotton coat, with her hair simply wrapped in gray cloth, looking very shabby, He Ba Hongyi thought she was just a slave. Didn't pay attention to the other party.
Zichai bowed to invite her and said, "Sister Murong, do you have to rush to the Medical Clinic so early to do some work?"
"Yes, it's rude to come out to meet the guests without having time to dress up." After Murong Yan replied, she bowed to apologize to Mr. Heba, and then walked away to the Medical Center.
"She, she is Miss Murong?" He Ba Hongyi was shocked and asked Zichai, "I didn't recognize her just now?"
"It's no harm. Mr. Heba, Senior Brother Bai lives near the school grounds behind the stone arch gate. Please come with me." After finishing her words, Zichai and Mr. Heba went to visit Bai Feng's residence.
The weather that day was already overcast. Unexpectedly, when Zichai and He Ba Hongyi walked indoors, the smoke was even worse than outside - a strange fragrance came from the incense burner next to Bai Feng, lingering in the air. Zhongjiujiu didn't want to leave.
"Ahem, senior brother Bai, why are you lighting so many incense burners?" Zi Chai asked, choking from the strong smell.
Bai Feng looked back and saw the guest behind Zichai, immediately put down the book in her hand, stood up, patted the dust on her body, walked over, and replied: "Miss Zichai, Yan'er insists on saying that there is something evil in this house, she must I need to light some incense to drive away evil spirits.”
"Oh, that's it." Zi Chai nodded as if she really understood. In fact, she had no idea what Murong Yan meant.
"Bai, Senior Brother Bai. I'm Heba Hongyi. See you, Senior Brother Bai!" Heba was still waiting outside the door, but suddenly he knelt down and greeted.
"Brother He Ba, why do you need to give such a big gift!" Bai Feng stepped forward and said politely: "Please come in quickly. If you come so early, you must be so cold that you can't feel it."
"Ahem, cough, thank you, Senior Brother Bai, for your concern." Heba followed Bai Feng into the residence and was also choked by the thick smoke.
Bai Feng asked He Ba Hongyi to sit in front of him and said, "Brother He Ba, you must be telling me something important because you are so eager to see me."
"Yes, Senior Brother Bai, please allow me to stay in Yuyi Academy!" He Ba Hongyi said: "In return, I am willing to tell Senior Brother Bai where the main army of Wuchuan Town is stationed, and how they will attack and annex Yuyi Academy." The strategy the town plans to use.”
"Oh?" Bai Feng asked in confusion: "Why would Brother He Ba betray his father and fellow villagers like this?"
"Hmph." Heba sneered: "I hate them! Do you hate him? He took away everything from me and turned me into a wild dog. I ended up in a situation where I could only fight for food with others everywhere... Such a reason , is it enough?”
After hearing this, Bai Feng pondered for a long time, then called Zichai and said: "Miss Zichai, go and invite Miss Zhao over?" Then there was no more words. He just kept playing with the incense burner.
Sometimes he picked up the incense burner and walked to the northwest corner, sometimes to the southeast corner. In order to let the smoke spread more fully to every place in the house, Bai Feng was so busy.
He Ba Hongyi didn't know when he started to look more and more nervous. It was obviously winter, but his palms were full of sweat.
"Bai..." He wanted to ask Bai Feng several times what his plan was, but he still gave up the idea because of fear. As time passed, he began to look at the incense burners and recalled the intriguing words the other party said when he first entered the door.
"Evil thing, evil thing... Could it be that I am that evil thing?" After thinking about this, Heba secretly changed his sad and pleading expression. He secretly put his hands into his sleeves, as if to take out something. , preparing to approach Bai Feng quietly from behind.
Suddenly, Zhao Xiaomei came to visit and said, "Why is there such a heavy fog in the house? Where is Mr. Bai?"
"I'm here!" Bai Feng turned around at this moment and found the sneaky He Ba Hongyi, and said again: "Brother He Ba, what are you doing here? Or do you want to help too?" , Bai Feng handed over the incense burner in his hand, with an innocent smile on his face.
"Yes...yes!" Heba accepted the offer without hesitation. After taking the incense burner, he followed Bai Feng back to the door to say hello to Xiaomei Zhao in turn.
After a while, the three of them were sitting together. He Ba Hongyi was in the guest seat and looked at each other with Bai Feng, while Zhao Xiaomei was sitting not far away from Bai Feng and watching.
He Ba Hongyi said: "Senior Brother Bai, Miss Zhao, please give me the map of Beizhen!"
"Zichai, bring me the map." The little girl put on her airs, as if the fatigue after receiving guests for days had not subsided, which made her more like a ruthless judge in front of He Ba Hongyi.
"Miss Zhao, please forgive me for being abrupt." He Ba Hongyi took the map of the seven towns from Zichai, and then explained: "What I am going to say next may not be entirely true, but it is definitely what the Wuchuan Town Allied Forces had planned. It's something! If Miss Zhao and Senior Brother Bai don't believe it, please calm down."
Bai Feng smiled happily and said, "Well, we won't blame you."
"Hmph, anyway, we didn't intend to trust you in the first place." Zhao Xiaomei was so conciliatory, which made Heba's pressure double.
"Okay...then let's get started." After He Ba Hongyi said that, he immediately picked up the brush and drew some symbols on the map.
But he saw that he had drawn several large circles between Huaihuang Town and Rouxuan Town, and then explained: "The two brothers He Basheng and He Basyu'er are stationed here!"
"We already know about this." Bai Feng said: "A few months ago, we happened to meet them head-on, and a lot of things happened."
"Go on." Zhao Xiaomei was still frightened and didn't want to recall that experience again.
"However, the army led by these two brothers and sisters is only the vanguard. The real main force is in the north of Yuyi Town!" He Ba Hongyi said, and drew a few pictures less than a hundred miles outside the northern military camp of Yuyi Town. Big circle.
"That is the six-town coalition led by my father He Batao, as well as a powerful regiment composed of tens of thousands of Rouran mercenaries!" He Bat Hongyi continued: "My father only needs to wait for the time to mature, and then he will cooperate with Yuyi Town If we cooperate with the two brothers He Basheng and He Ba Yuer to attack the east and west, the defense in the northern part of Yuyi Town will definitely collapse."
Zhao Xiaomei suddenly said: "No wonder the Heba brothers and sisters have been harassing our soldiers and civilians in Yuyi Town. It turns out they just want to divert our attention! Mr. Bai, do you have any clever strategies to deal with it?"
"I have no clue at the moment." Bai Feng suddenly became strangely silent and just looked at the incense burner on the table silently.
"Master Heba, why do you insist on joining our Yuyi Academy?" The younger sister asked to resolve her confusion.
"I have received great kindness from Senior Brother Bai, and I have long been impressed by Senior Brother's benevolence." Heba bowed his hands and said in respect: "Besides, I vow to regain my reputation and my status. As the saying goes, 'When people walk to higher places, The water flows downward. I have no other choice but to join Yuyi Academy."
The younger sister expressed her understanding of He Ba Hongyi, but at the same time she was worried about such an ambitious person. She looked at Bai Feng pleadingly and asked, "Mr. Bai?"
"Water has always been water, nourishing all things without asking for anything in return; people sometimes don't act like human beings." Bai Feng suddenly threw out these philosophical thoughts and said: "It's better to be a person who only knows what to do." For those who walk at high places, I long for the warmth like water.”
After speaking, Bai Feng stood up and walked straight to the door. After thinking for a moment, he continued: "Brother He Ba, please stay with Miss Zhao from now on and try your best to advise her."
As soon as he finished speaking, bustling greetings came from the school grounds one after another, and Bai Feng also left, leaving only the three people in the room still savoring those words.
