Su Qing thought that since Sima Tu and the Taiping Taoists were stationed here, there must be a surprise force ambushed, and hiding in the dark would be useless. Looking at the house where the Taiping Dao gang is squatting, there must be something fishy! So Su Qing jumped off the roof and asked the Miao girl Ajuan: "There is a room in front of the house, and there are Taiping Taoists standing nearby. Where are Bai Feng and Murong Yan?"
Ajuan hid behind a stone arch and took a look, saying repeatedly: "That's it!"
Su Qing hesitated for a moment, then suddenly punched the air angrily, and shouted as if to embolden himself: "Let's go!"
After speaking, he strode forward to lead Ajuan towards Sima Tu.
Su Qing's instinctive fear prevented Su Qing from looking directly at Sima Tu. He could only look sideways at others, bowed his hands and said to each other, "May I ask you, Taoist masters, why you came here late at night?"
Sima Tu led a group of disciples and sat on his horse among the crowd. There were boys on both sides carrying crimson gauze lanterns. He had just closed his eyes and meditated. His long eyes seemed to have been outlined by pen and ink, like an upward crescent moon.
"Right now, General Bai Feng is recovering from his injuries. We have volunteered to protect him day and night. Why are you here?" Sima Tu closed his eyes slightly. He didn't respond when he heard that he was coming. Just then he opened his eyes and looked at him. He said with great joy: "It turns out to be the knight-errant Su Qing. Long time no see, have you recovered from your illness?"
Su Qing refused and said, "I don't know you. Since you are guarding the door here, I won't bother you. Get out of the way and let me go in to deliver the medicine."
Before he finished speaking, the two boys beside Sima Tu raised their swords to block Su Qing's way.
"stop!"
"The Heavenly Master is talking to you, how can you be so rude?"
Sima Tu waved his hand to signal the disciples to leave, and then asked: "Since you two are going in, can you convey condolences to General Bai Feng for Pindao? If his health improves, please be sure to tell us." After speaking, , the Taiping Taoists slowly made way for them.
"Let's go." Su Qing and Ajuan said.
"Uh-huh!" Ajuan had been holding her breath and concentrating just now, not daring to say a word. The wolves around her made her feel even more tormented, so at this time, her steps were unusually fast, and her limbs were stiff and she opened the door. When Su Qing also Once inside, cover them up together.
"Huh..." the Miao girl let out a long sigh, and then looked at the bed in the house. There was a woman waiting beside Bai Feng: "Miss Murong?"
She looks like Murong Yan, and her figure is also like Murong Yan, but as soon as she speaks, people feel very strange: "Are you two friends of Bai Feng?"
"Miss Murong? Don't you recognize the Nu family? The Nu family is Du Juan... His name is Su Qing!" Ajuan looked at Murong Yan with certainty: "The Nu family didn't recognize the wrong person, right?"
The woman bowed politely and said: "You two have not admitted your mistake, but the 'I' now is not Murong Yan, but her mother - Murong Yan."
Su Qing went over and asked with concern: "Miss Murong, are you sick?"
"This is an ancient 'Xianbei witchcraft' that can bring the deceased back to you and help you achieve success." Murong Yan explained: "The remaining poison on Bai Feng's body will be cleared, and I am about to leave this place. Since a friend is here, please take good care of him."
"Murong... Yan." Ajuan's head was a little confused and asked: "The Nu family doesn't understand, why do you want to leave?"
Murong Yan smiled kindly: "Silly boy, in order to protect everyone, I have to leave."
Su Qing kept pacing back and forth, scratching her ears and cheeks, and said in confusion: "I'm really afraid of what's going to happen today. I've encountered all kinds of weird things! First I met Sima Tu, and then, I actually encountered something ghostly?"
"Young master, there is no need to panic." Murong Yan said sincerely: "You don't need to fully understand this matter. You only need to know that Bai Feng is recovering from his injuries and needs you to protect him. And I and my daughter have to leave for a while. ...Let us stay with him and spend the night."
Su Qing cupped her hands and said in respect: "Since it is the order of the Holy Lady, I will naturally obey it. Miss Ajuan will go to say hello to the servants in the Gao family's house and go to rest. Tonight, I will keep vigil for them."
After speaking, Su Qing and Ajuan went out to confront the Taiping Taoists headed by Sima Tu.
Su Qing said: "General Bai Feng's poison has not yet been purged. Please wait one more night and do not disturb him."
"The slave family is resigning." The Miao girl took advantage of the situation and hid elsewhere. Such a design to hide was in vain for Zhao Xiaomei's instructions.
The next day, General Hussar came to visit Bai Feng with high spirits and delivered an imperial edict. Everyone knelt down to listen.
"General Bai Feng of Zuo Wei has made great achievements in capturing the thief. He will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, ten thousand pieces of silk, and the title of ten thousand households!"
Su Qing, as the gatekeeper, led the order into the house and informed Murong Yan and Bai Feng. Gao Gao also sent condolences outside the house, saying: "General Bai Feng, your health has improved recently. I missed you a few days ago." He cheated his death like that, but the whole of Jinyang was included in the scheme! Hahaha..."
"Back to General Gao, Brother Feng is almost recovered. I..." Murong Yan frowned and looked out the window. She saw Sima Tu looking here all the time. She turned around and saw Bai Feng returning the tearful eyes. She felt in her heart I couldn't bear it and couldn't say the next words.
Gao Gao knew the mood of the two of them, so he conveyed it on his behalf: "In that case, what do you think, Master National Preceptor?"
"I will obey the wishes of the witch." Sima Tu snickered and waited for Murong Yan to walk out of the house obediently, and Murong Yan did so.
"Yan'er." Bai Feng called her name and followed her to the door, but Su Qing suddenly grabbed her arm: "Brother Bai, the time has not come yet!"
"The time has not come yet." Bai Feng repeated, and continued to murmur: "Too cowardly... so cowardly! Just take back the people that Run Wentao risked his life to bring out?"
Seeing that Bai Feng was so lost, Gao Gao quietly comforted him: "General Bai Feng, this is a delaying strategy. They are determined not to do anything to Miss Murong."
Bai Feng and Murong Yan looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and their figures drifted away. They wished they could tear down the walls so that they could continue to see each other.
Not long after, someone passed Zhao Kuo's command and suddenly came to visit him. At the same time, Ajuan, who received the news, also came to Bai Feng to avoid the limelight, thinking that Bai Feng and Zhao Kuo had broken up. They certainly wouldn't come to greet each other when they were awake.
But who is Zhao Kuo? He came to look for a wife as a noble queen, and even Gao Gao and Gao Xijun had to respect him.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the Gao siblings came over and knocked on the door. Ajuan was so frightened that she immediately hid in the closet.
"General Bai Feng, there is an old acquaintance here who wants to see you."
"General Bai Feng?"
Bai Feng had just separated from Murong Yan and was in a low mood. He didn't want to receive guests at all. What's more, the guest was Zhao Kuo, so he didn't want to see him, so he replied categorically: "I'm tired today, so I won't see you."
"I heard that Mrs. Zhao suddenly came to visit last night, saying she was 'delivering medicine', but she suddenly disappeared this morning. I wonder if General Bai Feng saw her."
Bai Feng looked at Ajuan in the closet and kept winking, thinking to herself: "One more thing is worse than one less thing. I don't have time to play house with this girl."
The young man snickered, and then said to the Gao siblings outside the door: "Mrs. Zhao, she is drinking tea and chatting with me here! I say you and your wife, please explain everything you have to say clearly, and don't tease me. May I?"
"Brother Bai!"
"Mr. Bai, why are you like this!"
Bai Feng smiled and said nothing. After Su Qing looked at it, he had to answer the door. Unexpectedly, the person who came in was not Zhao Kuo, but Yao Caiwei, Zhao Kuo's concubine.
"Sister, how can you show your temper and sneak out like this? Or run into a wild man's house?"
Ajuan kicked the table over in anger, went over and slapped Yao Caiwei, and cursed: "Who do you call a wild man! He is Zhao Kuo's brother in life and death, and the benefactor of Yuyi Town!"
"What kind of brother? What kind of benefactor!" Yao Caiwei was so ashamed that her legs slumped and she sat on the ground, looking at Bai Feng pitifully: "Why don't I recognize him?"
Seeing that the situation was like fire and water, Su Qing couldn't control it, so he had to close the door to try to persuade him. After a while, the two sisters finally sat down and talked.
"Sister, just go back with me and don't lose your temper."
"I won't leave until Zhao Kuo comes."
"You also know that he just didn't want to come here, so he sent one of my daughters to come here to look for you."
Bai Feng then asked: "Miss Yao, how do you think Yu Yihou treats you on weekdays?"
"Returning to General Bai Feng, Marquis Yuyi often talks to me about the plans of the family and the country, leaving all the remaining fun and fun to my sister." After Yao Caiwei finished speaking, Ajuan retorted unconvincingly: " You're talking nonsense, he clearly only spends all day staying with you and dealing with powerful people, completely forgetting who helped him get to where he is today..."
Bai Feng's mood became more and more serious, and she said, "Miss Yao, does she know why General Yao died?"
"I heard that he was assassinated?"
"I did this." Bai Feng looked at the other party and said without emotion: "In order to fully control the military and political power of Yuyi Town, Zhao Kuo ordered me to assassinate General Yao. Only he and I know about this."
"What? Impossible, you are talking nonsense." Yao Caiwei covered her heart and almost fainted: "I have heard that General Bai Feng has a lot of quarrels with my husband. This time he slandered Yu Yihou in front of several people from the Zhao family. , you have ulterior motives!"
Bai Feng placed the sword in front of Yao Caiwei and replied: "I am making this secret public, just to let you, you, see clearly what kind of person Zhao Kuo is. If Miss Yao wants to avenge her father, she can do it now , I have no power to fight back.”
"Brother Bai!"
"Zhao Kuo has actually done such a thing..." Ajuan couldn't help but shed tears. The jealousy and hatred that he used to be jealous of others disappeared in an instant, leaving only sympathy.
Yao Caiwei muttered something and stood up in a daze. Years of etiquette training made her instinctively salute before leaving. Ajuan thought she was pitiful and was afraid that she would commit suicide, so she followed him out.
"Alas, only Zhao Kuo can do this kind of thing." Su Qing sighed, not daring to forget Zhao Xiaomei's instructions, and said goodbye to Bai Feng, and went to continue to secretly protect Zhao Kuo's wives and concubines.
