When the master of Yuyi Academy went out to convey military information, most of the students in the academy had already read the notice and then learned of the death of He Ba Hongyi.
At first, everyone found it unbelievable, so as soon as they entered the academy gate, they came to the living room to confirm whether the matter was true.
How could the person who had been preaching "resistance is useless and surrender is justified" in the academy the day before be killed overnight by the coalition forces he relied on?
Finally, after seeing He Ba Hongyi's body with their own eyes, everyone calmly accepted the fact. Among them, quite a few disciples asked Murong Yan, who was keeping vigil in front of the coffin.
"Senior sister, who is He Ba Hongyi? How can his life and death be worthy of the academy paying so much attention to?"
"Senior Sister Murong, this thief acted unprovoked during his lifetime. He acted as a lobbyist for Wuchuan Town many times. He made slanderous remarks in public to confuse people's hearts. He still refused to give up after seeing us sternly rejecting him. Now he dies at the hands of the coalition forces. It can be said that he deserves the blame!"
"Senior Sister, please bury this body quickly and freely! If the people of Yuyi Town know that we are waiting to pay condolences to the young master of the Heba family in Wuchuan Town, won't someone with ulterior motives seize the opportunity and spread rumors about us? Collaboration!"
Faced with the sudden questioning, Murong Yan felt in a dilemma and was unable to refute. In her heart, she wanted to clarify the cause and effect - the coalition assassin who stabbed He Ba Hongyi to death was actually the person lying in the coffin now...
However, she had already been instructed by Bai Feng not to reveal any more information to others, so she was unable to think of an explanation to cover up the facts for a while.
"Junior brothers, the matter is not as simple as you think. Can you listen to me? I will only stay in front of the coffin for three days, and then we will bury it." Seeing Murong Yan hurriedly stopping the disciples from making noises and venting, she thought More and more bad actors must be driven out. Even though the process was quite unsatisfactory, it did not change her gentle attitude toward others.
Others don't know Murong Yan as well as Bai Feng, Su Qing and others, so naturally they won't take the words of this soft and slender girl with too much weight. When the disciples saw that Murong Yan had no confidence to convince everyone, they immediately became more enthusiastic and intensified. After collective discussion, they decided to strike out and sit quietly in front of the living room.
"Senior sister, we just want a reasonable explanation. Why can such a person allow Yuyi Academy to commemorate him and let Liuji Pavilion be replaced by his name?"
Murong Yan knew that she did not have the talent for eloquence, so she quickly compromised and acquiesced to the students' strike, and continued to keep vigil for He Ba Hongyi.
Soon, Mr. Tuiye and Su Qing arrived one after another after hearing the news. When they saw this, they also felt in a dilemma, because their attitude toward He Ba Hongyi was no different from that of other students, so they did not try to dissuade the strike. Only Su Qing made a slight threat: "Wait a minute. When Senior Brother Bai comes back, you will know how to write the word 'miserable'!"
After a while, the master of Yuyi Academy who everyone had been waiting for finally returned.
When Bai Feng saw that the living room was full of people, he immediately knew that the situation had changed, but his state seemed particularly quiet and calm.
Everyone's eyes were on the young swordsman, but he just glanced at everyone casually, then returned directly to the coffin and said to Murong Yan: "Yan'er, you go back to rest first, I will be the only one next. That’s enough.”
"Brother Feng? He, they want to know..." Murong Yan spoke for a long time, and suddenly she sighed helplessly as if she knew in advance that the answer was not satisfactory, and continued: "Okay."
After speaking, Murong Yan left immediately, leaving Bai Feng alone sitting in front of the coffin meditating.
When the students outside the door saw Senior Sister Murong coming out, they couldn't help but say one after another.
"Senior Sister Murong, why didn't Senior Brother say a word when he saw us like this?"
"If Yuyi Academy can accommodate a villain like He Ba Hongyi, I won't stay in a place like this!"
"Well said! When we come here, everyone has a passion for not being a villain!"
After several murmurs, the atmosphere became manic again, and more and more people angrily expressed their intention to withdraw from Yuyi Academy.
Just when the situation was on the verge of getting out of control, a sarcastic voice suddenly came from the living room: "Okay, you guys leave quickly! You will never be short of those who want to stay in the academy."
After saying this, Bai Feng finally appeared in front of everyone again.
I saw a handsome and energetic young man who smiled happily and said: "Brother He Ba has only been in the academy for a month, and he has solved the problem that I have been thinking about for a long time. Without him, how could the Liuji Pavilion be in a place like this?" Completed within a month? There are many descendants of aristocratic families and homeless refugees. If they make trouble again, Yuyi Academy will be in trouble."
"What about you? What contributions and achievements do you have?" After Bai Feng said this, he followed the example of his disciples and sat down on the floor, and continued to smile: "Brother He Ba once said to me - 'There is no ambition, no ambition. You can't let us win the war.' I give this sentence to you now. Maybe in our opinion, He Ba Hongyi has done too many wrong things, but in this sentence, he is extremely correct."
The young swordsman suddenly sat up with a solemn expression and said: "Think about it. If a person who has never touched a sword, gun or club is allowed to go to the battlefield, how long can he survive?"
This sarcastic and harsh rebuke immediately made the disciples present feel ashamed. Many of them had gradually realized their own arrogance - the arrogance that comes from looking down at "little people" from a high place. However, a few people still stood up and retorted: "We will join the army immediately! Senior Brother Bai, we will not let you look down on us again!"
After the few people who claimed to join the army left, no one said a word.
Bai Feng immediately waved his hand, signaling for everyone to disperse, and returned to He Ba Hongyi's coffin alone.
In the next three days, Bai Feng almost ate, slept and ate in front of the coffin. There are still many people among them who do not understand this kind of behavior. Even if Bai Feng only treats He Ba Hongyi as a normal friend and follows ordinary etiquette, but gradually, more disciples are willing to come to the living room to offer incense and memorial to He Ba Hongyi. .
On the night of the third day, when Zhao Kuo came to visit secretly with a letter, he saw that the incense burner near the coffin was already filled with incense candles.
The Zhao family's young master looked haggard, even worse than Bai Feng.
He first offered incense to Heba, bowed three times, and then showed the letter to the young swordsman and said: "Brother Bai, this is a letter written by my father Zhao Weizhi. Regarding the strategy you proposed, we will discuss it with the general Pei The general discussed for a long time and finally came to a conclusion..."
Bai Feng replied: "Oh? I would like to hear the details."
"Brother Bai, have you thought about it? Three days ago, I gave you advice. It is no different to let others do this. This is a mission of narrow escape, which is better than anything you have done for Yuyi Town before. All are in danger." Zhao Kuo continued: "You don't understand, you have become famous in Yuyi Town these days, and everyone, whether they are enemies or friends, treats you differently. The enemy wants you to die, and Friends... hmm, they are afraid that you will take away their credit."
"I know what you want to say." Bai Feng looked at Zhao Kuo and replied sternly: "Brother Zhao, I must do this."
Zhao Kuo nodded slightly disappointed and said: "Okay... okay. When you get there, give this letter to the officials in each town for review, and they will know our purpose."
Bai Feng took the letter and looked at it for a moment. He accidentally saw Zhao Kuo's affectionate expression, which made him smile and said, "Nangzhi, weren't you just a man and a crown a while ago? What's the matter? Now you have to cry because of me?"
"You...you guy, you are still in the mood to tease me!" Zhao Kuo was so embarrassed and angry that he said: "Brother Bai, you can't die! I beg you, remember, even if the plan works, No, I still have to come back alive,"
"Okay, I, Bai Feng, will never let down your expectations." Bai Feng bowed her hands in respect to Zhao Kuo, and then said to the coffin in front of her: "Even if I die, they will become mine."
Zhao Kuo followed the other party's line of sight and saw that it was the incense burner he had just seen when he entered the door. It was full of candles, and some of the incense burners he had just offered.
