Soon, when Bai Mu and Bai Mu returned to the academy, Su Qing, who had been waiting anxiously in the academy for a long time, was the first to come forward to greet them and asked, "What happened?"
Su Qing's face was full of half-understanding hesitation. He was glad to see the two people return safely, but at the same time he felt unprecedentedly confused about everything about them.
"The news spread quickly, I think Brother Su has heard about it." Bai Fengjing sighed: "Yes, I came here just to assassinate Sima Tu, but unfortunately, I failed...Brother Su, have you ever done anything recently? Have you met my little sister?"
"I haven't seen her for a while." Su Qing said, "I was still wondering if I could learn her whereabouts from you. Why, didn't you see her in Zhao Mansion?"
Bai Feng sighed and shook his head, and simply said: "It seems that someone was afraid that my little sister would take the opportunity to report the news, and put her under house arrest in advance... In this way, everything can be explained clearly."
"Brother Bai, what are you talking about?" Su Qing said, but Bai Mu and Bai Mu went straight to the back room with solemn expressions, followed closely by Su Qing.
"There is no one around now except you and me. What else can't be said?" Su Qing continued to ask.
Bai Feng sat in front of the low table and thought: "In the days when I was concentrating on the affairs of the academy, the outside world was different. Zhao Kuo, he had already reached a private deal with Sima Tu but still specially held a banquet invitation. It was clearly It is certain that I will not let go of what Sima Tu did - he will give me a blow in front of everyone, kill me, or put me in jail for some reason."
"I still can't believe it." Murong Yan came over with a pot of hot tea and said, "Why do you need Mr. Zhao to push me so hard?"
"Before this, he may have had no reason. But after what happened just now, even if he can't bear it anymore, he must punish me for the crime of disrespect, otherwise he will never be able to hold his head high in front of your uncles again." Bai Feng said with a strong voice. As soon as he fell, Su Qing asked him.
"Wait a minute, how do you know that Zhao Kuo and Sima Tu have colluded? Didn't they have a quarrel between the Zhao family and Taiping Dao? Our academy was originally a Taoist temple of Taiping Dao, but Zhao Kuo burned it down himself."
"Yuwenxuan, the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty told me." Bai Feng explained: "If Master Yuwen hadn't appeared in time, I might have been executed on the spot..."
Su Qing, who had always felt that everyone was drunk and I was alone, did not expect that there would be things that he could not understand. He kept patting his head, pacing back and forth, and asked: "Then what should I do next, run away?"
Bai Feng and Murong Yan looked at each other, shaking their heads and saying helplessly: "Where else can we escape?"
"Besides, we shouldn't just leave..." After Bai Feng finished speaking, the originally silent surroundings were suddenly filled with noisy voices.
"Quickly, surround the academy!"
"Officials are doing business, and everyone else is out of the way."
"General, the person is inside."
Bai Feng and his two men pushed open the door and went out. They saw Huang Yixiao leading dozens of elite soldiers waiting in formation outside the school grounds. He stepped forward and raised his hands in salute: "General Bai Feng, you are well."
"Are you here to capture me?" Bai Feng sneered, "Huh, why bother, I won't leave."
Su Qing suddenly felt something was wrong and whispered to Bai Feng: Brother Bai, what are you doing? Do you want to be captured without mercy? "
"I have already thought about it." Bai Feng said righteously: "I can't let Zhao Kuo ruin all this. I will tell him personally that if he does this, he will only ruin the future of Yuyi Town!"
"Okay, you are worthy of being General Bai Feng!" Huang Yixiao waved, and the servants on the left and right immediately presented a pair of shackles. He wanted to put them on Bai Feng himself: "General Bai Feng, your attempt to assassinate the Imperial Master of Qi failed. Now I will follow the law." I have offended you by taking you into custody..."
Just as Huang Yixiao was about to approach, a cyan figure flashed past and easily knocked him back a few feet away.
"If any of you dare to touch him, don't blame me for being rude! I, Su Qing, am not from your Yuyi Town." Su Qing kept looking at the soldiers and officials in front of him, eager to try.
Bai Feng didn't want to involve more people, so he tried to persuade him: "Brother Su, the academy is entrusted to you."
After that, the young swordsman took off his sword and handed it to Murong Yan without any resistance, letting Huang Yixiao tie the shackles on him: "We will treat General Bai Feng well. Please don't worry, Miss Murong and Mr. Su. This is just a temporary detention. General Bai Feng has been kind to me, and I will never do anything to disgrace General Bai Feng."
Dozens of kilograms of shackles pressed down on Bai Feng, but his heart was extremely firm: "This time, I will never run away, because I am no longer the only one behind me."
After finishing speaking, Murong Yan stood there for a long time, shedding tears. When she came back to her senses, everyone had dispersed, and she had no time to feel sad.
That night, Shen Qiongzhi came over after hearing the news, intending to appease Murong Yan. She took advantage of her position to tell them all the military affairs information she had found out.
"Yan'er, you don't have to worry too much. Mr. Zhao will never let Brother Feng suffer any torture. He just wants to use this matter to calm the hearts of all uncles. You also know that they have always been prejudiced against Yuyi Academy and Brother Feng. ...When the situation stabilizes in the future, Brother Feng will definitely be able to come back safely."
After Murong Yan heard this, she immediately asked, "When will that be?"
"This... I don't know either." Shen Qiongzhi said: "I can tell you that Mr. Zhao is currently preparing his troops and waiting for the opportunity to take over the Central Plains. But how could the Central Plains Dynasty not know the ambition of Beizhen? Then Sima Tu will Having noticed this, he asked for something from Mr. Zhao - as long as Mr. Zhao was willing to give this unique treasure, Sima Tu promised not to report the matter to King Qi, and he would even give a message to King Qi. Let him send troops to garrison in Beizhen."
Murong Yan asked: "What is it that can make Sima Tu be so flattering?"
"Blood of witches." Shen Qiongzhi looked at Murong Yan. Every detail of her past life in the Holy Land was vividly in her mind, which immediately made her eyes wet: "Yan'er, only you can save Beizhen! Sima Tu needs your body." The blood of the witch, to help him fulfill his dream of immortality."
"Me?" Murong Yan said in disbelief: "Can I really do it?"
"Yan'er, do you still remember what Aunt Saint said? This is your mission!" Shen Qiongzhi pretended to be coy, wiped her eyes, and continued: "It's really unbearable for you and Brother Feng to be separated. You two go out in pairs. A match made in heaven... But as long as Beizhen is given another year, when we have enough troops and supplies, we will definitely be able to take over the Central Plains and take you back from Sima Tu!"
"Sister Qiongzhi..." Murong Yan hugged the other party, feeling unspeakably entangled in her heart.
Shen Qiongzhi also rushed forward and sobbed: "Yan'er, I wish I could go in your place..."
The two were just talking. Shen Qiongzhi was about to leave when he happened to see Su Qing standing on the school field not far away and looking into the distance. Shen Qiongzhi pretended not to see it and walked away quickly.
Su Qing never had a good impression of Shen Qiongzhi, so she approached Murong Yan's door and asked curiously: "Miss Murong, who is here to visit so late?"
"Mr. Su, she is just a sister from the past. She was afraid that I would become worried all day long because of Brother Feng's incident, so she took off her military duties and came here to comfort me."
Su Qing felt that what he said was reasonable, so he didn't pay much attention to it. However, he didn't wake up until the conspiracy of Sima Tu, Zhao Kuo and others was exposed. Every time I think about this, I feel heartbroken and guilty.
