Entertaining and drinking seems to have become a habit for Bai Feng. He found that in any social situation, no matter whether the place is noble or low, whether the status of both parties is high or low, it seems that as long as there is a medium of wine, most things can be done. People can easily talk about going together, and people also seem to be more likely to think that someone who has had a drink may become more agreeable and honest.
But is this really the case?
Bai Feng walked out of the inn with an oil lamp in his left hand. He had just sent Yan Dahan off and walked slowly in the inn. His increasing drinking capacity gave him a better understanding of wine.
The reason why Master Gao Zhen didn't let him drink was not only because he didn't want Bai Feng to waste his time on such useless things one day, but also because people who like wine usually have many worries, which is not conducive to self-cultivation and spiritual cultivation, let alone Taoism. Taoism, the so-called wine, sex and wealth are all the same.
The young swordsman had not been thinking about wine for a long time when he came to Murong Yan's house alone. Seeing that Jingji was still stationed outside the door, he comforted him and asked: "Jing, go and have a rest quickly. I am enough for Yan'er." .”
Thorny bowed his hands in respect, seemed to be full of energy and sincere wishes, and replied: "Senior brother, you are always on duty when running around on the fortress. Now that you are in a place where you can have a good rest, can you let me also..."
"No need, Wuchuan Town is very safe, at least it seems so for now." Bai Feng patted the other party's shoulder lightly and said confidently: "Even Yan Dahan, who is so eager for promotion, is not interested in us 'wanted criminals' I don’t know anything about it, so I think it’s better to just let everything take its course. If you guard it with such seriousness, it will only increase other people’s doubts and create new things to talk about.”
After hearing this, Jingji suddenly realized that he felt ashamed that he had little wisdom and strategy, and was left alone and courageous. After giving up his hand, he resigned and left.
Bai Feng entered the room and took a look at Murong Yan. Seeing her sleeping face, she didn't want to disturb her, so she walked to the low table on the other side and sat down. She took out the letter of recommendation written by the Yuyi Zhao family to recruit Wuchuan Hosaku. Start thinking about your next plan.
"Wuchuan Town, adjacent to Huaishuo and Fuming, can be said to be the center of the six-town coalition... If Wuchuan can be captured, the other two towns can also be included." The young swordsman looked at the letter and thought: "The remaining A fertile town in Wuchuan Town has already been filled with public dissatisfaction. Without the support of the coalition forces, it is easy to defeat... In other words, whether the internal forces can be used to cause a disturbance in Wuchuan Town is the key to whether Yuyi Town can win a complete victory. "
"Dugu Qi, whose place of origin is ominous, became friendly with the Zhao family by chance, and holds a high position in Wuchuan Town. Therefore, he often sends important information reports to the Zhao family in secret letters, and he has done a lot of credit."
"Dugu...Qi? It sounds like a name from Xianbei. Where should I find it? If you ask door to door, it will definitely arouse suspicion. Since the other person is in a high position, there must be many people who know him... ..." Bai Feng murmured in a low voice, looking back at Murong Yan's sleeping state from time to time. Seeing her sleeping so peacefully, his heart couldn't help but calm down: "I'll find a chance tomorrow to find out the news from Yan Dahan... So, what should we do next? If he doesn’t know, then everything will have to start from scratch.”
The young swordsman became more and more tired as he thought more and more. He stared at the letter and unconsciously fell asleep on the low table. It was not until dawn the next day that a warmth like the morning glow approached his face and he woke up with a start.
"Yan'er, what are you doing?"
But when she saw Murong Yan squatting next to her, leaning on Bai Feng's body, she bowed slightly and was about to take the letter placed on the low table away from the young swordsman. She was careful throughout the process without making any sound. sound. The reason why Bai Feng was awakened was because Murong Yan was too close to the other party. Even the slightest breath of warmth from the mouth and nose would be sensed by the other party.
"Haha... Good morning, Brother Feng." Murong Yan picked up the comb and combed her hair charmingly. At the same time, she looked at the letter on the table and asked, "I just want to look at that letter again and think about where to look for it. Man. Last night, you spent the whole night thinking about it by yourself, right? How many times have I told you that if you have something you don’t understand, just ask me, maybe after a few words from me, you will suddenly figure it out!"
Bai Feng smiled happily, and unconsciously put his hand on the other person's face, stroking it gently: "Your face is a lot rougher... Following me these days has made you tired."
"Ah! Really?" Murong Yan looked extremely nervous. She had never cared about herself like this when she was trapped in a tight siege. While touching her face, she was suffering from the lack of a mirror in her hand and looked around: "I always thought it was my illusion! I didn't expect that I really became ugly..."
Bai Feng looked at the other party and smiled foolishly: "What's the point? Even if you are old and yellow now, I can't live without you."
"Are you laughing at me for being so old? Believe it or not, I'll hit you, huh!"
"Okay, okay, let's read this letter a few more times and see if we can find any clues."
"Don't laugh at me anymore because I'm old and yellow... You might as well lie to me a little bit."
Bai Feng smiled and said nothing. The two of them sat together, with their knees touching each other. They passed the letter to each other several times. After a while, the thorns suddenly knocked on the door curtain and said: "Senior brother, senior sister, Mr. Yan is waiting outside, I wonder if you two..."
"You all come in." Before Bai Feng finished speaking, the beauty beside him suddenly blurted out: "Wait a minute, I'm inconvenienced now!"
After saying that, Murong Yan kept scolding Bai Feng in a low voice and said, "You fool, how can I meet guests with my appearance now?"
Bai Feng had no choice but to admit her mistake and no longer dared to annoy the other party. After all, Murong Yan was never a woman who was easy to bully. With his help, Murong Yan quickly cleaned up her appearance, and then she was willing to open the door to welcome guests in person.
Who would have thought that the first words Yan Dahan said when he entered the door were: "It's going to be bad!" He spoke in an ups and downs, quickly approached Bai Feng and sat down next to him, and continued: "Mr. Bai, things are really going to go wrong now! There were scouts last night. Come report that Major General He Ba was defeated and captured, Huaihuang Town and Rouxuan Town were all lost, and our six towns were wide open. Now...what should we do now?"
Murong Yan came next and sat across from the two men. She pretended to be surprised and replied: "Why is this happening?"
"Madam, I don't know either!" Yan Dahan squinted his eyes and shook his head repeatedly, and his usually vigorous mustache withered like withered grass: "Can it be that I can only do this job in my life?"
"Master Yan, I don't think that is the case." Bai Feng now acted confidently and replied: "Major General He Ba told Zeng Wo that if you can't find him in Wuchuan Town, you can go look for him first. The person named 'Dugu Qi' can make the decision in my affairs."
After Yan Dahan heard this, he racked his brains and couldn't remember who Dugu Qi was, so he asked: "I have never heard of this Dugu Qi. Could it be that he is the young general's confidant?"
"What? You don't know?" Bai Feng said, "Things will be difficult to handle now."
"Master Bai, don't panic, I will send out my manpower to look for you!" Yan Dahan immediately stood up and said decisively: "If you can't find it, I won't come back to see you, Master Bai!"
