Monk Juexin changed his face and moved into the Golden Snake Temple in Jinyang City with Fu Wentao and Ayu. They were transformed into practicing laymen, hiding their names and waiting for the right time.
Although Su Qing had shown his heart to Bai Feng, worked hard and stayed with her for several days, the young general still remained unmoved.
Not only did he not express his clear disgust, but he always treated him with courtesy, leaving Su Qing no place to use his commercial methods, let alone the cruelty to repay kindness with evil.
Both of them have revealed their plans. Bai Feng thinks that letting Su Qing leave the Zhao family is the best solution; Su Qing thinks that letting Bai Feng return to the Zhao family will have a chance to change everything.
They each hold their own opinions and often argue. No matter what the occasion is, if there is a slight disagreement, they should immediately start a debate.
One is a noble fighter with ideals, and the other is a well-known rogue. No one knows how they got together.
But when it comes to tongue-in-cheek debate, the two of them do win and lose, and no one is convinced by the other.
Whenever Bai Feng made bold statements, claiming that he could find peace on his own, Su Qing would retort: "What's the use of relying on others now?"
Whenever Su Qing wants to clarify the pros and cons and seduce the other party to return to Yuyi Town, Bai Feng always has to state his position directly. He is incompatible with the capricious and treacherous Zhao Kuo: "Have you ever seen ice and fire coexisting? The same sky as the moon? Since it is different, why force it?"
Su Qing naturally knew how many despicable transactions Zhao Kuo and the powerful merchants of Yuyi Town behind him had done secretly. He had also seen with his own eyes how the academy disciples lived a shady life after Bai Feng lost power. It's hard to deny these facts.
Sometimes they were like a pair of enemies who had grievances in their previous lives. If Bai Feng was riding on the road and was not in a hurry, Su Qing would talk non-stop in front of and behind the saddle, even though usually what he had been waiting for for a long time was in vain. Feng's disdain, but Su Qing will never despair, but he will be more motivated to get to the bottom of it.
In the eyes of outsiders, Bai Feng and Su Qing clearly have different identities and statuses. How can they be the same as before? As Zuowei generals appointed by the emperor, they spend all their time making friends with rogue retainers. Their reputations are just getting better, but they are stained again. , how to gain a foothold in the government and the public?
He does not cherish his title, and there are many people who are jealous of his title and fame.
In the debate about what is right and what is wrong, which side is righteous and which side is evil, Bai Feng has his own firm direction, but in the secretive court, he seems not to realize that he is still in the whirlpool.
In the whirlpool, no matter how firm the direction is, there is no way to get out of the predicament. Instead, the captain and the sailors need to sacrifice their blood and courage to brave the wind and waves to break through the siege.
In this desperate battle with the whirlpool, Bai Feng was undoubtedly the captain who raised the flag of justice. Everyone who gathered here because of his dream recognized this.
Only Su Qing is special.
He kept looking forward to the wonderful dream in Bai Feng's imagination, but he was stuck in a difficult choice and couldn't extricate himself.
This night, like countless nights before, the sky was deep blue and a few lanterns were lit on the dark streets.
Before nightfall, Su Qing had already found a high place in Jinyang City with a wide view to enjoy the sunset. This was a small pleasure that belonged to him.
In a place where no one knows, a person can watch the sunset quietly, and even a prodigal can realize the poet's feelings for a moment.
"This bloody sunset is so like the sunset of the dynasty." He leaned on the city wall and said to himself: "Oh, I wonder where my 'way' will go?"
When the sun set, he turned back and walked towards the center of the city. However, unlike ordinary people, he never chose the ordinary path, only looking for a place to stay on the eaves, and kept running among the high-rise buildings in Jinyang City, just like what he often did in the past: as a A gentleman with a unique elegance of his own, he settled down silently, as if he was in a deserted place, and then turned around with a confident smile to the owner of the mansion who was still in the dark behind him.
Although he is not as dashing and handsome now as when he was young, his skills are still strong and he is more experienced.
If there is anyone who can stop his progress, apart from the sudden appearance of stunning beauties, there are only people in danger who can inspire his chivalrous spirit.
Coincidentally, as if God had arranged an opportunity, while strolling through the night to Jinyang City, the thief Su Qing happened to pass by a familiar restaurant and unexpectedly uncovered a shocking conspiracy.
Not surprisingly, this matter is related to Bai Feng's life.
I still remember that when Bai Feng first arrived in Jinyang, she was warmly invited by Mei Lin's confidant Mei Xinghe. Bai Feng resolutely refused, embarrassing both Mei Xianggong and Mei Xinghe.
"This is not shameful to Mr. Mei, this is going to bring shame on your head!"
Su Qing hid outside the window, lowered her head and listened, smiling brightly, thinking: "I'm afraid I'm going to know something big."
"Not only did the newly appointed Zuowei general fail to fulfill his duties, he also secretly interacted with other family members. Isn't this a clique for personal gain?"
"Yes, Mr. Mei ordered us to take advantage of this matter. It just so happened that the imperial guards had to change their official positions recently. They were divided into "left guard" and "right guard" and merged into the position of general of the central guard. It just so happened that the current general of the right guard was Mr. Mei. Talents cultivated from scratch.”
"Wouldn't it be a continuation of the old system if we were changed to Zhongwei General?"
"This is a matter for those big shots. What does it have to do with us generals?"
"Just seize this point and make a fuss about it?"
"General Zuo Wei Bai Feng is an out-and-out deadbeat. As long as we use a little trick, we will definitely make him fall into the trap."
"If this is done, it will be a great achievement for you and me!"
Originally this would be a seamless strategy, not only in line with the New Deal and logical, but also a borrowed knife to kill people, and it would not have anything to do with Mr. Mei afterwards.
"But if everything is as expected, this job is too lucrative, right?" Su Qing said in her heart: "Young master is the accident."
Su Qing roughly wrote down the appearance of the young men who conspired, and then continued to hide nearby until they were all drunk and unconscious. Then he stood up and hurried to Gaofu to report to Bai Feng.
When Bai Feng learned about this, he still accepted it calmly and said: "Firstly, I am not a corrupt official, and secondly, I have not bent the law for personal gain. I don't think he can do anything to me."
Su Qing said: "Of course I know you are upright, but the enemy is much more cunning and cunning than you. Do you really want to ignore all this?"
Bai Feng said: "Do you have any immediate countermeasures? If not, it will be meaningless to discuss this matter for how long."
