Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 270 Are you really a fool?Fake prodigal son!
(10)

After half a month's absence from Mrs. Li, the noble lady of Huaishuo Town, Bai Feng and his party finally found a good opportunity to negotiate face-to-face with Tong's family.At the same time, they did not forget to pinch their fingers to count, and today, there is only one month left before the marriage between Zhao Tong's two families.

In other words, excluding the delay on the way back to Yuyi Town, the four "envoys" of the Zhao family only had a dozen or so days left to solve the problem.Every time this is mentioned, they are very anxious, but they must not rush in without authorization.

After thinking about it, Bai Feng could only wait for the appointed time to come, and rush to the flower field to meet the appointment.

The next day, at the same moment as yesterday when he met Tong Yao, Bai Feng led the crowd to the "Colorful Flower Field" outside Woye Town.

Even though the north wind is howling and the air is full of cold, the scene in the flower field still makes people feel a little unexpected.At that time, everyone wore robes and thick clothes, but the hundreds of acres of tea trees blooming in the fields were still as before, quietly growing.

These flowers are as pure and flawless as if they just came out, small, like a ball, with different colors, short petals and large flower cores, densely packed next to the leaves of the tea tree and opened one after another.This one is white, that one is pink, the other is bright yellow, and the next one is a slightly somber maroon...

Although its name is "Colorful Flower Field", in fact there are far more than seven colors of flowers.

The La Traviatas are rushing to prune flower branches and tree trunks before the twelfth lunar month of winter. Everyone is working hard, and some even have to bring a whole family with them to complete their homework.

Woye Town was originally located in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River. The city was built adjacent to the Yellow River. There was no shortage of water and its remote location. It was not the place where the Four World Wars were fought, so it had many opportunities to live in peace.

The beautiful tea tree and flower field in front of me is the best evidence.

Along the way, Bai Feng and others saw not only tea farmers, but also many officers and soldiers in charge of protecting the tea fields patrolling everywhere.

A large-scale war has been avoided, but it does not mean that there are no robbers and green forests coveting this place.Stealing tea leaves from tea trees is not uncommon, which makes the people of Woye Town under the rule of the Tong family have to take it seriously.For this reason, at a certain time, there will always be a large group of people stationed here to escort the tea farmers.

Er, a soldier came jogging, blocked their way, and asked, "Excuse me, is this Baifeng, Mr. Bai?"

The visitor was immersed in the fragrance of tea and flowers just now, and did not pay much attention to the vision around him. In the end, only Baifeng, whose name was called, stood up, and he bowed to the soldier and greeted: "Brother, you What are you looking for?"

"General Tong has been waiting for a long time, please come with me, heroes."

Bai Feng nodded in agreement, then turned around and scolded the three friends who were still picking flowers and leaves to enjoy, telling them to follow quickly.

The young swordsman didn't get distracted for a while, and Murong Yan weaved the flowers and leaves she picked into a wreath and put it on her head, and showed off playfully to others: "Look, how much can I sell for this handicraft?"

"Sister Murong, make one up for me too, it's really pretty!" Zichai didn't answer this question, but her reaction was the most enthusiastic.

Su Qing sneered at the side, and said, "Look at how much money I gave those tea girls just now, your craftsmanship is worth as much." The implication is that Murong Yan's craftsmanship is worthless, It's just that the Xianbei witch didn't take it seriously, and still made a garland for Zichai on her own, and put it on for her herself.

Unexpectedly, afterward, Bai Feng let out a soft sigh of complaint, interrupting such a warm and relaxing moment: "Yan'er, follow up quickly!"

Murong Yan immediately changed her appearance unceremoniously, frowned, and replied: "It's fine if you and Mr. Su go to this kind of thing, anyway, our girls don't understand. You have been sitting in front of that Apollos for many days I can't move, I can't stay any longer..."

At this moment, Bai Feng felt ashamed of Murong Yan, so she chose to accommodate and compromise, and greeted Su Qing: "Brother Su, let's let the two girls relax freely in this flower field for a while?"

"Of course I listen to the Holy Maiden!" Su Qing twirled his beard with his index finger habitually, smiled charmingly, passed by Baifeng, saw the young swordsman stop still, and asked again: "Let's go, stand at the original place." What are we doing? We don't have much time left."

"Hehe, I just didn't expect that Su Qing, who was desperately trying to capture Murong Yan, would become so 'cute' in front of her?" Bai Feng taunted, followed the soldier, and met with Su Qing Tong Yao.

Tong Yao is sitting in the gazebo making tea to pass the time at this time, his delicate gesture of playing with the tea set is completely different from his usual ferocious and irritable appearance.

People can judge from his bloated face and vain eyes that he is extremely alcoholic, but they often cannot know the other side of his life.

Seeing Baifeng coming, he treated it as an ordinary spy visiting, and after casually glanced at the young swordsman, he turned his head back and concentrated on fiddling with the tea set.

"Mr. Bai, are you here? Unexpectedly, you really have the courage to come!" Tong Yao has a body like a tiger and wolf, but he said these words calmly, quite majestic.

"I don't understand, why did General Tong say that?"

"Not long ago, I received a wanted warrant about you. You are a strange person that our Great Master Sima Tu ordered to hunt down!"

After finishing speaking, Bai Feng was full of energy in an instant, holding the scabbard tightly with his left hand, and said with a little timidity in his words: "It seems that General Tong is going to arrest me?"

"'Xianbei Witch', 'Longming Sword'? Huh, they are all legendary monsters and gods." Tong Yao gently sipped his tea and said earnestly: "I don't believe that old man's nonsense, after all In his eyes, we people in Beizhen are all traitors. That is to say, Mr. Bai, you and I are the same kind of people."

Hearing this, Su Qingfang on the side let out a long breath, and said with emotion: "I thought there would be another fight later, I haven't recovered from my anger yesterday!"

"Hahaha, presumably, this man is the one who snatched my jade pendant yesterday, I recognize your figure." Tong Yao didn't wave his hand until the visitor to take a seat, and asked again: "Where did that girl go yesterday?"

Bai Feng said: "She is in the flower field, she is probably having fun now?"

"Oh, really?" Tong Yao immediately stood up, leaned on the fence to watch, and replied: "Master Bai, can you call her over? I want to hear more people's thoughts on what I want to talk about next. Especially that girl, she got Xiamei's silver hairpin! Presumably, there must be something special about her."

"I obey." Bai Feng said, and immediately left the table to bring Murong Yan and Zichai back.Although the two girls seemed quite unhappy, they still saluted Tong Yao one by one.

Seeing that everything was ready, Tong Yao immediately called for the servants and dispersed the guards around the pavilion, leaving only two cronies around.I saw him take a big sip of tea, then stood up, and began to talk eloquently: "I think you all must know something about my private payment of military salaries, right?"

"I just heard it a little bit." Bai Feng said, "I don't know what's the inside story?"

"As the son of Tong's eldest son, I, Tong Yao, took over the military power early on and fought outside all day long. I always only knew how to charge forward and make contributions to the country, family, and people. However, I never expected that I would be defeated in the end. In the hands of my own family!"

"At that time, I naively thought that the years of wars were really for the sake of the country and the people. In fact, this was all a conspiracy between the generals of Beizhen. Soldiers are sent to the front line, not only are they poorly paid, but they are also involved in pointless disputes."

"They win all over the world, they fight in all directions, and they get a lot, but they never thought of distributing it to the soldiers and the common people! My father, my second mother, they all know, but they would rather see me Spending time and money, squandering ten thousand taels of gold, I don’t want to see me helping the poor!”

Hearing this, Bai Feng realized three points immediately, and said to Tong Yao: "That is to say, the fact that General Tong distributed food and sympathy money privately is because he can't understand what your father is doing? And he usually pretends to be crazy to deceive Have you lived with your own family?"

"No, not only that!" Tong Yao angrily hammered the pillars supporting the gazebo, and continued: "Day and night, I have been thinking about why I, Tong Yao, are fighting? Countless times I have killed other people's husbands , father, and son were sent to the battlefield, but all they brought back were bones... I dare not tell those brave and loyal soldiers under me, even I don't know what the hundreds of battles, big and small, are all about! "

"I want to do what I can to help the families of the soldiers who died. I saw that they had no money to repair the dilapidated houses, their wives and daughters were forced to sell themselves to survive, and their sons were barely taller than a sack Go to be a strong man. So, I started to give them money like crazy, go to the Bliss Building to buy their wives and daughters, and carry the lightest cargo for their sons..."

Up to this point, Tong Yao couldn't help crying, his compassion for the world and humanity infected everyone present, and the eyes of the two soldiers who had been with him many times were also filled with tears.

The tea was still being boiled in the gazebo, and the steam was steaming upwards. The sound of boiling tea overwhelmed the voices of people for a while, and they were silent for a long time.

Seeing Tong Yao crying so far, Zichai suddenly asked with concern: "General Tong, you don't have to blame yourself like this. Look at those tea farmers, how happy they are smiling! They must be very grateful to have you guarding them."

Tong Yao wiped his eyes and saw the tea farmers who were still working. They felt sincerely relieved that they could still live in peace, and all of them had bright smiles on their faces.

At the same time, he also saw the silver hairpin on Murong Yan's head, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Originally, I wanted to tell my younger sister Xia, but she was afraid that I would be criticized by my father and second mother, so she kept avoiding me. Miss Murong, you Think, what else can I do?"

"General Tong, Sister Zichai is right. Can you see their smiles?" Murong Yan replied, "Anyway, I would like to see them."

"Yan'er?" Bai Feng said back to Tong Yao: "General Tong, please forgive me for being stupid. I really can't think of a good way to deal with such important family and country matters."

"That's right, we're just a gangster, how can we do such a thing that decides the life and death of the people..." Su Qing followed up with sarcasm: "General Tong, I'm afraid I've found the wrong person to ask for help."

"No, we have!" Murong Yan reprimanded Su Qing: "As far as I know, General Tong's father and second brother are still in Yuyi Town, right? In other words, only your second mother is the oldest in the family? "

"Yes, Erniang is usually in charge of housekeeping and assisting government affairs. I have to listen to what she says."

"Then the matter will be easy to handle. Now, we only need to gain the trust of your second mother, so that you can regain control of military and political affairs during this period."

Tong Yao's eyes were dizzy when he heard it, and he felt that this matter was almost unbelievable, because his second mother had always hoped that his own son Tong Yi would take Tong Yao's place, but this matter was related to family affairs, and it was inconvenient to say anything, so he just perfunctory He replied: "This matter is simply whimsical!"

After speaking, Tong Yao hesitated for a moment, and left the flower field first.Everyone present felt that he was desperate for his future and was helpless to flee, only Murong Yan said with a smile: "Now, he must have gone home to greet his second mother!"
