After the day's foreign visit, Zhao Xiaomei immediately returned to Yuyi Academy with her purple hairpin and told Bai Feng the truth about what she saw on the way. The young man sat on the couch and listened, and said with a smile: "Next, just wait for the weather to come."
Zhao Xiaomei was puzzled and asked: "What is the right time? Now the Rouran army is pressing down on the border in the north, and there are six-town coalition forces led by Heba in the west. Yuyi Town is still trapped in prison. Although the supplies in the city are sufficient and the city defenses are strong, but There is no guarantee that it will always be foolproof, as time goes by, misfortunes will surely come singly in the future!”
"Is Miss Zhao worried that there will be unrest in the city?" Bai Feng asked and answered: "Actually, I have been thinking about this issue, but the time has not come yet, so I cannot act rashly."
"Why!" Zhao Xiaomei suddenly became anxious and lost her composure. She leaned her body forward, almost as if she wanted to throw herself in front of him and grab him by the collar, and asked forcefully: "Mr. Bai, have you rested long enough since you came back? Why? Do you still want to be so lazy? If you wait any longer, I’m afraid the Rouran army will have already attacked before you can come to your senses!"
"Miss Zhao, you might as well try to look at me from the perspective of others." Bai Feng said: "I am a person who has just returned from behind the enemy. No one knows my details. No one knows what I have done. What they saw , I am being rewarded and respected for no reason, so how many people are secretly looking forward to my death?"
After hearing this, the younger sister lamented repeatedly, took a few steps back and returned to the seat cushion, saying, "That's right. Apart from Mr. Bai and Sister Murong, only a few people know your true intentions for this trip..."
"Miss Zhao, I'm really grateful for your understanding." Bai Feng knelt on the couch and kowtowed to show respect.
However, such solemn etiquette made the little girl feel very ashamed. Her voice gradually lost confidence and she continued: "Mr. Bai, if you need me for anything important, I will do my best."
"In that case, how about Miss Zhao playing a game of chess with me?" Bai Feng said, and immediately took out a set of things that looked like Go but were not Go from the couch behind him.
"When I have nothing to do, I usually play 'war games' to relieve my boredom." Bai Feng looked at the three chess pieces of different colors, listed them all, and explained: "I know that Miss Zhao is eager to know what I am. What are you planning? As long as Miss Zhao plays this game with me, you will understand."
"I didn't expect Mr. Bai to be so elegant... Hey, how come there are three colors of chess pieces in this Go game?" Zhao Xiaomei found three chess pieces respectively and said, "Black stones, white stones, and red stones?"
Bai Feng raised her lips and smiled, took away a red seed, and replied: "Miss Zhao, you know that there is more than just black and white in this world, right? In fact, people are the same. This red seed was specially added by me. It does not belong to Any camp, and at the same time, it is possible to fight for any camp.”
"Ah!" Zhao Xiaomei suddenly realized it. She grabbed the red ones with joy and asked, "Did those coalition forces you mentioned surrender?"
"Miss Zhao, let's play the next game first?" Bai Feng gently pushed away the other party's hand, then picked out all the red stones and distributed them evenly to each other, and then said: "The rules are like this, if one party successfully wins the game, After eating the 'Ti Zi', you can get a chance to play a red tile, or a chance to replace any red tile with a chess piece of your own color..."
Zhao Xiaomei briefly listened to the rules, nodded, and called Zi Chai who was waiting outside the door to come in and watch the chess together, and the two immediately started playing chess.
However, in a moment, the younger sister was defeated by dozens of moves. She couldn't help but sigh to Bai Feng: "The ordinary Go killing methods don't work at all!"
"Yes, it's just that a variable has been added, and this war game is completely different." Bai Feng said: "Now that we have mastered those thousands of surrendered pawns, isn't it equivalent to having 'red chess pieces'? These surrendered pawns are worth After walking out of Yuyi Town with the money and food from Yuyi Town, think about how the coalition forces will view them and how the Rouran people will view them?"
"He Batao and He Basheng and his son will think that they have betrayed their self-esteem and the coalition forces, and will regard them as traitors; when the Rouran people see them coming out of Yuyi Town with these money and grains, they will definitely rob them without any reason." Zhao Xiaomei relied on her own strength. Intellect speculated: "By then, these thousands of people will become homeless ghosts?"
"No, they can go back to Yuyi Town, but they will not choose to come back." Bai Feng said: "They are all top-notch warriors. The coalition soldiers saw that their former comrades would be reduced to this, even if they were loyal, so they got close to them. With the successive defeats in the war over the past month, the morale of the coalition forces must be shaken, and perhaps the split within the six-town coalition forces is inevitable."
Zi Chai, who had been watching the chess game for a long time, seemed to suddenly think of something. He was so surprised that he clapped his hands in joy and said, "What a move to drive the tiger away and swallow the wolf!"
"As expected of the purple hairpin girl." Bai Feng praised: "Now, we can only wait patiently for the battle report from the front line, and don't be impatient."
As soon as he finished speaking, several strange wailing sounds suddenly came from the fence outside the house: "Ouch, you dropped me to death!"
After hearing this, Bai Feng picked up his sword and rushed to the place where the sound came from, followed by his younger sister and Zichai. But I saw a beggar-looking boy lying on the ground with a bloody head and he didn't know why.
"Who are you, and why are you here!" Bai Feng unsheathed his sword, and a frightening sword roar whizzed past, frightening the young man to immediately hide in a corner with his head in his arms.
"Bai Feng, you must be the legendary Bai Feng and Mr. Bai!" The young man said: "With this momentum and the sound of the sword, you must be right! Mr. Bai, I have an urgent military situation under the orders of Boss Shu. Tell me!"
"Boss Rat?" How could Xiaomei Zhao have ever heard of such a name, but Bai Feng was already doubtful.
"Rat hunchback? What military information does he know?" Bai Feng asked: "Did you hear what we said just now?"
"No, I swear! I didn't hear a word!" The boy said: "I also searched for a long time before I found this place! Who knew that Mr. Bai, you haven't gone out for several days in a row, and I even came to visit you? There is no chance. Due to our status, we have no choice but to make this decision..."
"Tell me, what do you know?" the younger sister echoed from the side.
"Mr. Bai, all the surrendered soldiers you released have gone under the command of 'Yixiao Huangquan'!"
After hearing this, Bai Feng was shocked and said: "A smile on the underworld?" He sheathed his sword, went over to help him up, and continued to ask: "What on earth is going on?"
"Boss Rat said, you will know once you go there..."
"Tsk, it seems that I have to make this trip." After Bai Feng finished speaking, he turned back to the house to change clothes. Not long after, he walked out of the house again, only to be met by Zhao Xiaomei and Zichai, who had only heard of "A Smile to the Underworld", standing in front of him. They both looked very worried.
"Miss Zhao, it seems that the chess piece of the fourth color has appeared... Please tell Yan'er for me that I will be back soon." Bai Feng smiled calmly.
"Okay, we will guard the academy for you." After the little sister said this, Bai Feng followed the beggar and left.
