Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 208 The Beginning of a Dream

(18)

It doesn't take long to walk from Zhao's house to the money mouse's lair. If you don't pay attention to the slow cars and horses on the long street, people's heads moving, smoke and dust billowing, if you just go forward, you won't let People feel how far the road is.

But in fact, the street is not dull at all.It's not like being trapped in a house, if you have nothing to do, you can just sit there and think wildly, as time goes by, you will easily get sick.

The Xianbei witch has a deep understanding of this, so of course she will not let go of any interesting things along the way.Although these things are extremely common in the eyes of ordinary people, she will go up and have a look curiously.

Not far away are meat stalls that buy and sell fresh beef and mutton; there are big meat pies that have just been baked, and according to the people around them, the meat filling of the big pies is still made of camel meat; The turbulent crowd was blocked in the middle of the road, unable to move forward or retreat.

However, Murong Yan was only in a spice shop a hundred paces away, and was still purchasing new spices with Bai Feng.After hearing such a novel thing, her heart began to stir.

After thinking for a while, she dropped everything here, and said casually: "I'll go there to see!" Then she went straight into the crowd, leaving the young swordsman behind.

The situation is roughly like this - Bai Feng, who originally wanted to take Murong Yan to find Shutuozi, has now become the other party's guard and servant.

In fact, Bai Feng knew very well that Murong Yan was like this from the beginning, she was a combination of a rich lady and a son and daughter of the world.Even if no one is going to help her, she can escape the catastrophe only by herself, and she will never sit still.In short, she is not used to relying on others, but she is also indecisive and helpless when faced with many things.

Because she has a sincere and selfless kind heart.If she had just wandered through the rivers and lakes and never seen higher and longer-term things, she would never have such affection.Because of this, she often forgets that she cannot save everyone.The result of being too dedicated and hard-working but not getting what you want is a dejected self who wants to do too many things but can't do it.

Although the origins of these two heroes are very different, their temperaments are too similar.Their meeting was really like fate, something that cannot be expected.

But in the blink of an eye, Murong Yan was overwhelmed by the crowd.Bai Feng pushed the people in front of him, together with the officers and soldiers who got out of the car and drove the crowd behind.The boys transporting the luggage held up their spears, waving them dumbfounded, and said, "Get out of the way, out of the way! Can you sell camel meat pancakes later? The men in the barracks haven't had a drink for a few days. Now, if the young master is scolded again, you will feel better!"

It turned out that this group of people came for camel meat pancakes. They stood in a pile at the entrance of the small shop, blocking the left and right turns.

"Officer, official! This person can't be chased away, why don't you come too?" The owner of the small shop said with a smile, and he still didn't forget the copper coins that the endless stream of customers threw in his hand. Picked it up and looked very proud.

The official saw that he couldn't be the master, so he could only wait where he was.But after a while, he couldn't hold his mouth anymore, so he asked his servants to buy one for each of his colleagues, as a snack in the afternoon.

The young swordsman searched around the crowd for a while, and finally saw Murong Yan walking out from the crowd, carrying two servings of biscuits in her hand.She handed one of the biscuits to Bai Feng and said, "Haven't you had lunch yet? Eat quickly, and we'll leave after eating." Then she took a nice bite of her biscuits and said contentedly: "So This is camel meat, so delicious!"

"That's right." Bai Feng followed suit with a bite, and replied, "Yuyi Town is really a good place, and most of the people are comfortable and content. I have never seen a crowd cheering and crowding in one place for a few mouthfuls. Donkey meat pancakes?"

"That's Brother Feng, you don't know it!" Murong Yan recalled while tasting the delicious food: "When I was young, there was always an endless stream of guests sitting under my mother's seat. As soon as one of them walked in front, there were several people vying for it behind. Rushed to visit the house. They said they wanted to see the "saint's face" and "hope to be blessed and guided". Once, there were hundreds of ordinary people standing outside the mansion, cheering the name of their mother. Just because my mother told them that the mountain torrents broke out recently, and told them to move the village out as soon as possible..."

Bai Feng said: "It really is so big in the world, there are no surprises."

The conversation was over, and the two of them continued on their way.

After a while, Bai Feng returned to that familiar intersection.

The restaurant street has always been so noisy, and the smell is particularly strong.The wanton, shameful laughter, the swearing, and all manner of aromas, among them the smell of wine lees, decay, and women.

Facing the sensuality in front of her, Murong Yan immediately became cautious. She heard the slut on the street corner about to send off the honored guests from last night, so she accidentally took a few extra glances.Perhaps those eyes were filled with all kinds of puzzlement, doubt, and even disgust. After the slut found out, she immediately glared back at Murong Yan viciously once, then pointed at her and cursed loudly.

"What are you looking at, what are you? You have come to this alley, and you still think of yourself as a young lady?"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Bai Feng immediately raised his sword to block Murong Yan, and replied: "Girl, what do you mean? We are just passing by, so I accidentally took a few extra glances."

"Who are you scaring? Do you think you are the only one who has a sword? My aunt also has one!" Before he finished speaking, a beggar appeared out of nowhere, jumped up and slapped the woman.

"You are so confused, no one recognizes this?" The beggar immediately said respectfully to Bai Feng: "Young Xia Bai, you are here, our money rats are far away, please come with me..."

After hearing this, Bai Feng put down the sword in his hand, and whispered to Murong Yan who was behind him: "Yan'er, follow closely. This place is dangerous, it's not a place to play!"

Soon, they came to the old den of the money mouse, and met the big brother who called himself the mouse hunchback.At that time, he was still tasting bootleg wine in the wine cellar to see if the quality was uneven.But as soon as he heard Baifeng coming to visit, he immediately dropped the things in his hands, limped back to the ground, set up a banquet, and waited for the guests.

He attaches great importance to this friendship, as if he is renewing his relationship with Gao Zhu.In Shu Tuozi's heart, apart from his own business and his brothers, only Bai Feng and Gao Zhu can occupy a place.

It's just that Bai Feng and Murong Yan didn't come here to drink and have a banquet, but to ask some questions.This incident is naturally the truth behind the "silver robbery case".

Seeing Shu Tuozi, Bai Feng didn't say anything, before he even took his seat, he asked: "Senior, you should know who is behind the robbery of ten thousand taels of silver?"

"So what if you know? Boy Bai, what are you doing?" Shu Tuozi was very puzzled. He thought that the other party was here to reminisce about old feelings and talk about life ideals. Unexpectedly, Bai Feng wanted to know things he shouldn't know when he opened his mouth.

"Who is the girl next to you?" Shu Tuozi continued to ask: "You want to send a woman to the old man, and lead me to speak? Then you really underestimate people, Mr. Bai."

"No, senior. This girl is called Murong Yan. She is the closest and most important person to me. My parents and master are both dead. She is my only family member in this world." Bai Feng bowed and said: "I brought her here to let everyone get to know each other. The seniors regard me as a brother, so I will naturally trust you."

"Hehehe." Shu Tuozi sat there, sneered and said, "Give yourself a handle in exchange for the news that the old man knows? You can't be so naive, young man Bai?"

"Senior, I naturally know that you must have a request to win me over now, and if you save my life, it will be useful in the future." Bai Feng said: "Compared with the 'real villains' like senior, I am still more afraid of those who can't see Qing's 'hypocrite'."

"Hahaha..." Shu Tuozi burst into laughter and said, "You kid, interesting! But you must promise me, you must not do stupid things!"

"I won't do anything next time, I just want to know the details of the person I will face in the future."

"Okay! You guessed right, the mastermind behind the scenes is the Zhao family!" After Shu Tuozi said, he let out a long breath, as if he had finally let go of the burden in his heart, and began to chatter: "Oh, collusion between government and businessmen is nothing new, but this There are benefits of money rats in it, otherwise, who would want to take care of their shit!"

When Bai Feng heard that the facts were as he had expected, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Senior said that it took so long to see clearly because my eyesight is clumsy. I just feel sorry for the daughter of Lou's family, she has been deceived in it, maybe even if she knows In fact, I can’t believe it.”

"Brother Feng, what should we do in the future? Do we want to continue working for the Zhao family?" Murong Yan stood trembling for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say a few words.

"Yan'er, we didn't do things for the Zhao family. We did it for Brother Zhao and our friends." Bai Feng replied, "We used to share adversity, life and death together, and now we are in Yuyi Town, and we are given a piece of peace. Well, we should do things for him."

"That's right, boy Bai, you can still tell the difference between right and wrong! As long as the old boy is dead, then Zhao Kuo will control the lifeline of Yuyi Town. Even if you don't want to be an official, he will get you a Official! Hahaha..."

"Senior!" Bai Feng was about to retort, but after thinking about it, the other party was a complete villain, and he couldn't listen to his good words, so he felt that there was no need to waste any more words.

"Since the senior has finished talking, I will take my leave first."

After all, the two of them stepped out of the money mouse's lair, looking at the streets and alleys with different moods.This place reminds Baifeng of the outer city of Jiangzhou, but at that time he was chasing Fu Wentao who kidnapped Murong Yan with Zhao Xiaomei, so he had no time to stop and take a closer look.

Many people huddled up in forgotten street corners without eating their last meal. Even money rats couldn’t afford to support so many refugees and convicts, and couldn’t provide so many jobs, and these people were not controlled. Yizhen people accept it.They are real ghosts.
