The grand festival celebration was not affected by some "trivial things" that happened during it. The parade motorcade circled the city, spreading the majesty of the royal family everywhere, showing the emperor's grand visit to the world, attracting the people of Jinyang to compete for favor.
The cheers were like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, one after another, and they did not stop until the parade was over.
Bai Feng failed in his attempt to assassinate the envoy of the Zhou Dynasty and deserved to be severely punished. However, in front of the nobles in the capital, his desperate struggle was like a fish flipping in the sea. A slight splash was quickly covered up by the bigger wind and waves. Go.
Because the matter was widely involved and did not develop to an irreversible point, after some defense from Yu Wenxuan, Bai Feng was able to meet his "assassination target" on the night he was taken into prison.
Like other prisons, even in the capital, this place is damp and dark, with no sunlight, and a dense evil atmosphere permeates the air. People who don't often come to this kind of place will be curious: why can the jailer stay for so long without getting sick? ?
Yu Wenxuan felt very uncomfortable with this kind of place. He seemed to be walking in a swamp, raising his feet very high every step he took, for fear of stepping on something dirty, and he had to carefully observe the ground every time he took a step. noodle.
But he didn't have any expression of disgust. Instead, his face was full of joy. He didn't suddenly become serious until he walked in front of Bai Feng and asked: "Bai Feng, why did you assassinate me?"
"I asked knowingly." Bai Feng also smiled and said, "Are you satisfied now?"
Yu Wenxuan said: "Just a few hours ago, you almost killed me! Why did you and the boy with a broken arm suddenly fight? If I hadn't made it clear to people just now, it was all a misunderstanding. Humph, even if you have a few lives, it’s not enough!”
"Young Master Yuwen, we don't talk secretly between you and me." Bai Feng slowly approached the other party and replied: "You never really wanted to help me, Young Master Yuwen just wanted to use me to help you separate Mei Lin. If you really want to help me with Sima Tu’s plan, you shouldn’t show up to meet me in the first place, and just send someone to send a secret message to get in touch with me. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate?”
Yu Wenxuan was a little surprised and said: "As expected of General Bai Feng, who is famous in North Town, he still has some brains."
"You deliberately exposed your acquaintance with me just so that you could put all the blame on me at any time, even if I never asked you to help me... Under the golden lotus tongue of Mr. Yuwen, the whole matter Things will turn out that I, Bai Feng, will not get what I want, and will become angry and humiliated, and in the end I will not be able to use this trick to kill my friends."
Yu Wenxuan frowned and explained to Bai Feng: "What Mr. Bai said before is not unreasonable. How can there be a cheap deal in this world? But what Mr. Bai said later is completely slandering my innocence! If I didn't say it for you, Qing, do you think you can still live?"
"Yu Wenxuan, don't be hypocritical in front of me. Do you think I don't know why you came here tonight? You just want to confirm whether I have betrayed you, so that you can plan how to clear yourself from suspicion." Bai Feng fell down and slept on the straw mat, his tired voice becoming more and more lazy.
"I don't expect you to intercede for me at all, so I specially arranged for Brother Fu to come and have a fight with me. If you use me, don't you allow me to use you? I'm making a big gamble."
"What are you betting on?" Yu Wenxuan's shameful and arrogant attitude completely disappeared in an instant.
"You'll know when the time comes..." Bai Feng was so sleepy that he turned over on the straw mat and soon became snoring loudly.
Yu Wenxuan couldn't help but feel itchy. Growing up, he had always been a proud man who wanted wind and rain. However, in his early twenties, he already had inexhaustible wealth in his life and a status that was difficult for ordinary people to reach. Now he is serving as a minister. It is just for the sake of accumulating fame in other countries to facilitate official career.
How could he tolerate being teased like this by a "prisoner" today?
"But... what exactly is he betting on?" Yu Wenxuan thought to himself, and quickly gave up the idea of arguing with Bai Feng, and then said: "Since Mr. Bai does not need me to intercede for you, then I will say less. Just a few words, let’s just say goodbye.”
But in a moment, a jailer smelling of alcohol rushed over. He kept slapping the cell door with his palms and said excitedly: "Bai Feng, don't sleep! Get up, get up quickly!"
Yu Wenxuan was very dissatisfied with such a rude person. Just when he was about to scold the other party for not being polite when he saw him, an even more bizarre voice came from behind him.
"General Gao, the person you are looking for is inside."
"Open the cell door."
"General Gao, please come this way."
Yu Wenxuan looked at the visitor thoughtfully, then went over to say hello and said, "Yu Wenxuan, the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has met General Gao."
The man in blue uniforms responded with high spirits: "So it's Mr. Yuwen? Why did you come to see the assassin? Do you want to ask him why he assassinated you?"
But hearing that the general's tone was not very friendly, Yu Wenxuan himself wanted to get away as soon as possible, and immediately showed weakness and said: "This is all a misunderstanding! Mr. Bai and I first met in Beizhen, how could there be any deep hatred? It's just that he misses his wife so much, I was confused for a moment, and then I had a conflict."
"Oh? So that's it..." Gao Gao approached the cell door, patted it hard a few times, and asked Bai Feng, who was still sleeping soundly: "Bai Feng, do you have anything to say?"
Bai Feng murmured and complained: "You can't let anyone sleep no matter what you say! Mr. Yuwen has said everything that needs to be said, and I have nothing to say."
Gao Gao asked: "Have you seen her? How is your wife now?"
"She's fine, fine for now." Bai Feng sat on the straw mat and talked: "But one day, I will definitely save her."
When Yu Wenxuan saw that Bai Feng had compromised on his side, he said goodbye and left in order to avoid causing trouble.
As soon as Gao Gao saw the guy leaving, he immediately retorted, "You want to take her away? I'm delusional. This is related to Daqi's eternal foundation. I will never allow you to do this."
"How can a woman affect your foundation?" Bai Feng suddenly stood up and walked towards Gao Gao, asking: "General Gao came to me specifically, can't he just come to me for this matter?"
"What do you think?" After Gao Gao said it, he immediately asked someone to open the cell door and went in to sit at the same table with Bai Feng: "I suddenly remembered, have we met once in Jimingyi?"
Bai Feng was pleased to see the other party being so courteous to the corporal: "I think General Gao wants to know more from me about the original owner of the 'Longming Sword'."
He said high-spirited: "Hahaha, you are indeed a descendant of our Gao family. Earlier I heard that a heroic hero named Bai Feng organized a rebel army to carry the banner in Beizhen to fight against the Northern Yi. With such strategy and courage, how dare you dare to defeat the king? With the sword in front of you, did you expect that we would come to you?"
"How can a villain have such a clever plan? Moreover, how can I, Bai Feng, dare to climb up to the royal family?" Bai Feng took a breath of cold air and said respectfully: "I just risked everything on myself."
Gao Gao saw the young man in front of him with a majestic temperament and fearlessness in the face of danger. He went back to more than ten years ago in a trance. With tears in his eyes, he inadvertently grabbed Bai Feng's hand and said: "Since you are really my brother's disciple, then naturally you should Count us Gao family members! You can go out tonight, and I will pick you up to meet someone tomorrow."
After the two of them had finished talking, General Qiao Gao then sent a carriage to take Bai Feng back to the inn to reunite with his friends. When Fu Wentao, A Yu and Yu Ke saw that Bai Feng was safe and sound, they thought that the matter was about to come to an end.
They will never know that all this is just the prelude to various conspiracies and calculations.
