"I should have thought of it earlier. How could the noble Miss Heba bow to an unknown person like us?" Bai Feng laughed at himself. His sitting posture was no longer as straight as before. He casually found another place to lean on. He sat down against the wall.
He Ba Yu'er was still sitting in front of the only table in the prison. Seeing Bai Feng's attitude change so strangely, he couldn't help but feel more vigilant in his heart and asked: "What on earth are you conspiring to do? Come to me early in the morning, Do you just want to show off your power?"
"It's useless to talk more." Bai Feng leaned against the wall and moved his limbs for a moment. Several strange sounds came from the cracks between his bones. It was obvious that he hadn't moved his muscles for a long time. "If Miss Heba is sincere, Maybe we can really have a few words... Now, let's wait for Junior Sister Yue to come over and open the cell door." He continued, looking at another place impartially.
He Ba Yu'er walked up to the young swordsman and said seriously: "Look at me, you can't blame me for what happened last time. I am a soldier, and it is my bounden duty to obey orders."
"Yes, what you said is very good, so I don't mean to blame you at all." Bai Feng looked at her, his eyes as clear as the blue sky, especially sincere: "What I really want to do is to defeat you and tell you You, what you are doing is wrong. Miss Heba, the person you really want to resolve your feud with is actually yourself!"
"Me?" He Ba Yu'er suddenly felt a cold wind blowing across her back, and her hair trembled, as if she was back on the ring that day in an instant. She was facing Bai Feng, who was covered in scars but could still hold a sword and exude murderous aura. , momentarily hesitant and helpless. She took two steps back, shook her head repeatedly to express her distrust, and said: "You did not defeat us, it was the Yuyi Town army that defeated us, and this will only be a temporary defeat. We Xianbei people are brave and good at fighting, and everyone No worse than the Han people."
"So, you really want to go south to the Central Plains and force the Han people to build pastures there to raise horses and herd cattle for a living?" Bai Feng said: "Have Miss He Ba ever thought about one thing? In the Central Plains, there may not be so many places. There are long pastures, but there are so many flat roads where horses can gallop. The lifestyle of the Xianbei people may not be suitable for staying in the Central Plains at all."
For some reason, He Ba Yu'er was in a trance for a moment, and she found a place to sit on the wall opposite Bai Feng. The two were separated by a distance, and they could only feel each other's presence when they were talking: "Here, tell me What does it have to do with anything?"
"Of course it does matter!" Bai Feng looked up at the skylight, a ray of golden sunshine shining on his face, he continued: "As Miss Heba said, every Xianbei man and woman, they are the best The warriors are not inferior to the Han people. But if you want to conquer the Central Plains, it is absolutely impossible to just rely on 'herding cattle and sheep'."
"Hahaha, you can only talk about family and country affairs here. What have you done?" He Ba Yu'er said disdainfully: "I obey the orders, and every time I fight bravely to kill the enemy, I can think of something that can bring a better life to the people of my clan. That day, a charlatan like you who only cares about your own reputation was not worth mentioning in my eyes!"
"What did I do?" Bai Feng replied nonchalantly: "May I ask Miss Heba if she remembers how she was captured?"
"Those Han people broke their faith and surrendered to the enemy! The main force of our army was restrained and unable to return for reinforcements. Then, I was captured by Xiao Qingling." He Ba Yu'er became more and more angry as he spoke, and he stood up and walked over there In front of a table, he kicked it over with an angry kick.
"Broken trust? Have you ever trusted them?" Bai Feng said: "To be honest, the rebellion in the second town of Huaihuang Rouxuan was all caused by me. All of this was just due to the grudges everyone had against the Heba family. It's quite profound, and you have never thought of winning over the people. Not only did you allow the Taiping Taoists to develop and grow, and allowed such evil Taoists to collude with officials to harm the common people, you also allowed soldiers to rob caravans and herdsmen from time to time."
Bai Feng also stood up. He slowly walked to the table that had been kicked to the ground, put it in a straight position and continued: "I see everything you do, and everyone sees it." Li, now, do you still want to blame others for being dishonest?"
"You, you, you!" He Ba Yu'er hesitated and said, "Okay, even if what you say is right, even if you are the savior and a great hero! Then why do you want to come to me in prison? ?I’m just a weak woman, I can’t do anything.”
"Because I'm different from you." Bai Feng supported He Ba Yu'er and motioned for her to sit down. He also sat on the other side of the table, and then said in a calm manner: "I don't want to humiliate you, even if you are defeated. The same is true for the generals. For me, the war is a nightmare. Everyone is doing stupid things. The war leaves me only endless regrets and pain. I sneaked into the rear of the coalition forces alone, not for victory. For peace.”
"If Miss Heba approves of me, there are a group of prisoners of your tribe in Yuyi Town who don't know how to deal with them. Everyone doesn't know how to solve them. I want Miss Heba to go see your former comrades." Bai Feng said: "This is not a cruel job, and it doesn't require you to brandish your sword and think about your former relatives and comrades-in-arms. You only need to be responsible for arranging their future - should they continue to join the army or be demobilized and return home? I think since it is He Miss Ba's troops should naturally be left to Miss He Ba to decide. I wonder if I can accept this request?"
He Ba Yu'er held her hands tightly and looked at Bai Feng with an unprecedented look. She breathed heavily without realizing it. It was clear that a long time had passed, but she thought she had just spent a moment in thinking.
"Miss Heba, you don't have to give me an answer right away, because I'm not asking for surrender. I'm asking you. These coalition soldiers are all good. They have absolutely no rebellious intentions. If Miss Heba has any concerns in this regard, I think you don’t have to worry.”
"Okay... okay." After hearing this, He Ba Yu'er finally gave a confirmed reply: "I have to admit that Bai Shaoxia is different from all the men I have met. Maybe there is something wrong with our approach, father. , Brother, they..." At this point, she suddenly covered her eyes and shook her head repeatedly, as if she wanted to deny some facts that were about to come out: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo for of of trouble... go away, you're not allowed to look at me!"
"I didn't look at you, Miss Heba. I only looked at you when you ordered me to look at you. In fact, I still prefer you in military uniform." Bai Feng joked inappropriately, but in fact It changed the atmosphere very well, because He Ba Yuer recalled these words after sobbing for a while, and couldn't help but secretly smiled: "Aren't you afraid that Murong Yan will know when you talk to me like this?"
"Um, can you please not tell her?" Before Bai Feng finished speaking, Yue Qingling appeared in front of the cell door with a spare key and responded: "I have heard that, Senior Brother Bai, you'd better not mess with us." Be happy, otherwise, Senior Sister Murong will know what you did outside today."
After speaking, Yue Qingling opened the cell door and welcomed the two of them out. The three of them left the Yuyi Town Prison together and headed straight to the place where the prisoners were held.
