It is said that in the first year of Zhongxing in the previous dynasty, when Gao Huan was leading his troops to march westward, Gao Zuo, then the commander-in-chief of the Gao family army and the future knight-errant White Snake Immortal, led the front army to explore the road conditions as usual.
On the way to the front, they met a group of enemy soldiers and scouts. Gao Zuan took the lead in pursuit for a long time, beheading one person and routing ten others. When he returned, he learned that Gao Huan was meeting a wild man in the mountains.
The "savage" is none other than Sima Tu!
Sima Tu used the magic of immortality to seduce him, and was successfully recruited by Gao Huan as his aide.
After this battle, everyone set out to return to Jinyang to discuss their merits and receive rewards.
Sima Tu said: "General Gao Zuo has been in the army for several years and has made great contributions, so he deserves to be knighted." Gao Huan agreed, and then the emperor issued an edict, and Gao Zuo was discharged and returned to his fields.
Not long ago, there were rumors that Gao Zhen died of an epidemic and his whereabouts were unknown...
In the evening, dark blue curtains fell over the feast again. At this time, the distinguished guests were taking their seats one after another. The dancers were eagerly preparing something with only half of their face makeup. One said they ran out of rouge and gouache.
Those who hide and have affairs nearby, those who beat their chests and talk loudly, and those who stand on the fighting field and fence.
In sharp contrast to the melancholy dark blue of Jinyang City at night, they looked at each other's rosy faces, as if they had to exert all their strength to make any expression and movement, and were filled with almost out-of-control emotions.
However, the host of the feast had already invited several interesting friends, who came to the courtyard as if they were isolated from the rest of the world.
The three girls all attended in their best attire.
Yu Chiying and Ayu took turns rushing to sit on the swing. The youngest Yu Ke looked much more mature and steady - she always stood guard with her sword in her arms, glaring angrily at anyone who came for no reason.
Fu Wentao occupied the only way in and out of the courtyard, inspecting every visitor like a soldier. Even the maids had to undergo a strict search, then took off their shoes and walked out to deliver tea, water, or messages.
There were two young men sitting in the pavilion playing chess, and the other young man was sitting on the west side of the chessboard. The full moon tonight was facing him.
——The so-called true gentleman watches chess without speaking.
Yuchi, who was watching the game, said: "Do you have to discuss matters in a place like this?"
"There is no other way. I can only find this excuse to drive away all the maids." The host of the feast replied: "How about it? After reading the files related to Taiping Dao, what do you two think?"
Tong Yun, who was holding the white piece, moved to the Tianyuan area of the chessboard. He suddenly understood and said: "Although it is not without gain, most of the records above are about the founding of Taiping Taoism and the disputes between Taiping Taoism and its followers. If you want to use this Revealing old scores may not touch Sima Tu’s foundation at all.”
"One thing you may not know is that the father-in-law mentioned at the beginning of the file is my master, and my current title is passed down from him." Bai Feng said.
"So what if it's your master?" Yuchi Zhen questioned: "Is it possible that you want to overturn the case for your master? This matter is as difficult as heaven. I advise Mr. Bai not to have any illusions."
Bai Feng dropped Heizi and said with a smile: "No, I just want to tell you that my grudges with Taiping Dao can be traced back to the previous dynasty. You don't have to be afraid that I will run away."
"I never doubted it." Tong Yun thought for a moment and made another move.
Thump thump thump, the sound of messy footsteps came from not far away.
A little maid came trotting over with tea in her hand. Her hands and feet were rusty and she almost fell to the ground.
"Eaaah!"
Yu Ke had quick eyes and quick hands. He helped her first and said, "Why are you running in such a hurry? No one is chasing you."
"Miss Ke, all the nobles are here, and Mr. Bai is invited to come out and host the banquet."
Yu Ke got out of the way, and the boy ran to the chessboard and put down the tea cup.
"Mr. Bai, the nobles are all here. Aunt Xiao asked me to inform you."
Bai Feng sighed: "It seems that the protagonists are all here!"
"What protagonist?" Yuchizhen and Tongyun said in unison.
"I'll be there later. Let's go down first." After hearing this, the boy was full of gratitude. He might have heard about Bai Fengzhi's moodiness. He was glad that he did not disturb the young master's elegance, and trotted out of the courtyard.
Bai Feng continued: "The protagonists on the stage. You, you, and they don't need to be directly involved in the next incident. I don't want the matter to be exposed and affect my friends."
"What are you talking about, Mr. Bai? Can you tell me what you think of the file?" Tong Yun completely forgot about what happened on the chessboard.
Bai Feng explained: "According to the records, Taiping Taoist respected Sima Tu as the Heavenly Master, and sitting there were the seven Beidou disciples, namely Tianji, Kaiyang, Tianshu, Yuheng Yaoguang, Tianxuan, and Yuquan. They followed Their respective fields of expertise are in the study of art, divination, martial arts, medicine, and physiognomy. Among them, Yuheng and Yaoguang are sisters and brothers. They practice martial arts together and have a unique skill of double sword dancing."
"Among them, Tianji Taoist, who is said to be the master of martial arts in the world, Kaiyangzi Lei Heng, who is proficient in making various mechanisms, and the blind swordsman Yu Hengzi have all been eliminated by me, and Tianshuzi, the divination master, has been in seclusion all year round. Tian Xuanzi, the chief medical officer, was left out because of Yan'er's departure... In other words, currently, only Yaoguang and Yu Quan are in charge of the Big Dipper Seven Sons." Bai Feng sneered.
"The person who is responsible for the daily affairs of Taiping Dao and controls Taiping Dao like a 'steward' is none other than Yu Quanzi." Bai Feng stood up slowly and faced the direction of the feast: "Recently, the Taiping Daoists need new immortal statues ', and I happen to have one of the best carvers in Jinyang next to me, hahaha."
Tong Yun and Yu Chizhen also stood up.
"Bai Feng, do you really want to reverse the case for your master?" After Yuchi asked, Tong Yun immediately said: "Master Bai only speaks half of his words. How can we stupid people listen?" Do you understand?"
"Since the past cases cannot be overturned, then I will create a new case, which will definitely convince the Taiping Taoists to lose." Bai Feng said: "As for the detailed inside story, it is better that you two do not need to know. Just assist and do not participate. , you two, just continue to enforce the law impartially."
After finishing speaking, Bai Feng returned to the feast first, followed by the others.
I saw Bai Feng holding the sculptor Wan Qian with her left hand, and holding the monk Wanwo with her right hand. They put their hands on each other's hands and made a promise to each other as if they were still childlike.
"Monk, you apologized; Wan Qian, you also admitted that you don't understand Buddhism. Everyone takes a step back, the sea and the sky are vast, and everyone tonight is a witness."
After Bai Feng said this, Wan Qian and I greeted each other, and everyone present burst into laughter. They exchanged cups and cups, as if they had endless topics to talk about.
Then, Bai Feng found Hu Jie'er, the young boss of Huang Liang Yimeng, a gambling shop, and talked about business and transactions. Hu Jie'er couldn't stop laughing, and she almost wanted to push the concubine who followed her to Bai Feng and force him to accept it.
"I'm not interested in other people's things."
Bai Feng raised the wine to socialize, handed the woman back, and in a blink of an eye walked to the next celebrity to greet him.
