Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 294 Assassin
(4)

The winter breeze blew across the school grounds, where there was no living thing but a swaying clump of weeds growing between the cracks in the floor tiles.

It should be said that it was deathly silence.It's easy to forget that just at the last moment, there were more than a dozen people gathered here.

Among the dozen or so people, some were complaining about the cold weather, some were secretly scolding Bai Feng for being unreasonable, and some were determined to make Bai Feng look up to them one day.

But in the blink of an eye, no matter whether they were laughing or cursing, there was nothing left.

Zhao Kuo originally stepped into the academy full of joy, but unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, he was oppressed by an unprecedented coercion, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Originally thought that he could sit in front of his friends without having to be so upright, at first Zhao Kuo sat down with his legs spread out, but after a long time, he gradually realized that both Bai Feng and Murong Yan had lingering fears, especially the young swordsman, He just stared at himself blankly.

"They must be worried about the assassination of General Yao." Zhao Kuo knew it in his heart, so he immediately corrected his sitting posture and sat upright.But seeing that Murong Yan who was making tea and pouring water looked leisurely and unhurried, without any intention of keeping secrets, he opened his mouth and asked.

"Miss Murong, how are you doing these days?" He put on a very kind look, and said kindly: "Seeing that Miss Murong's complexion has returned to normal, she even wants to put her hair up in a bun. It is very comforting! In this way, you and Brother Bai are going to choose a date for your marriage?"

Murong Yan glanced at him in surprise, then she couldn't help nodding and giggling, and replied, "Why are you talking about this kind of thing again..."

"In the eyes of our Han people, when a woman puts her hair up, she is a married woman." Zhao Kuo continued to explain.

"But my mother told me that if you put your hair up, it means you have someone you like; giving your hair to someone you like is the most intimate way of showing your love." Murong Yan continued seriously: "Maybe this is the habit of Xianbei people?"

Zhao Kuo continued the conversation and said with a smile: "Hahaha, each ethnic group has its own traditions. In our Yuyi Town, such a situation is not uncommon at all."

"Yan'er, you don't need to explain anymore." Bai Feng suddenly reprimanded softly: "If you keep talking like this, Brother Zhao can talk about this matter for three days and three nights."

After hearing this, Murong Yan really quickly filled the teacup in her hand, took a plate to put a plate of yogurt and sweet cake, put it on the low table between Zhao Kuo and Bai Feng, and finally sat silently beside the young swordsman.

"Brother Bai, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look haggard." Zhao Kuo finally took the initiative to mention the matter of General Yao at this time, and said, "It must be the assassination of General Yao's nephew Yao Jidao. Been with you for a long time?"

"You're right." Bai Feng glanced sideways at Murong Yan, as if she was still longing for some comfort in her heart, and sighed in begging.

Zhao Kuo said: "You are not to blame for this matter, no one thought that something unexpected would happen. We will never let others know about your killing Yao Jidao by mistake."

"I don't need you to defend me, Brother Zhao." Bai Feng adjusted his posture, straightened his body, and made him lean forward slightly, which brought the distance between him and Zhao Kuo closer: "I am a sinner. I have committed a heinous crime since I killed the first person. In order to atone for my sins and to be worthy of those who died under my hands, I must continue to move forward."

"This is what I've been thinking about for half a month." Bai Feng let out a long breath, lowering his head slightly, unable to hide his disappointment and sadness.

"Ah..." Zhao Kuo sighed, gently touched his forehead thoughtfully, and said, "Brother Bai, frankly speaking, I have never killed anyone, so I don't know how to comfort you. But, I I have seen thousands of miles of starvation and blood flowing into rivers. I know that your goal and mine are the same."

"You will win this war, right?" Bai Feng continued to ask: "I will never forget that Yao Jidao called me 'Brother' before he died? I can't forget General Yao, when he saw me Scary as a ghost."

"Brother Bai, with your help, I will definitely win!" Zhao Kuo's firm tone made him look like a different person from his previous self, "And Miss Murong, our 'Master Saint', with the help of the two of you Yuyi Town, why not break the siege of the six towns?"

Bai Feng felt a little ashamed and embarrassed when he got this reply, he lowered his head and did not respond for a long time.Seeing this, Zhao Kuo took advantage of the victory to pursue, and then asked: "Brother Bai, I send A-Bian a letter every day, you should know what I want you to solve, right?"

"Letter, I burned them all."

Hearing what the young swordsman said, Zhao Kuo was startled and angry, and almost wanted to jump up on the spot, but he had the elegance of a son of a family, so he ordered him to sit back to the spot.

"You, how can you do this?"

Seeing the other party's distraught look, Murong Yan immediately comforted her with words: "Master Zhao, I burned the letter in private, I'm afraid Brother Feng will feel even more disturbed when he sees these letters, so..."

"Yan'er, you don't have to protect me like this." Bai Feng stroked Murong Yan's shoulder lightly, and immediately said to Zhao Kuo: "Brother Zhao, from now on, you can tell me who is 'blocking' our way, But, I have my own way of doing things."

"You and I are friends, right?" Bai Feng sneered, because he knew his identity and said these words, it was too flattering himself: "Hehehe, friends should be equal to each other. I have never been a servant of your Zhao family, never have been."

Zhao Kuo was very surprised by Bai Feng's narration about "friends". Perhaps in his heart, there is not much difference between so-called friends and servants.Seeing that the Zhao Family Young Master thought for a while, he finally gave an answer: "My friend... In this way, you are my best friend, Zhao Kuo."

"So, what do you want to do with the next person?"

Before Zhao Kuo finished speaking, Murong Yan keenly sensed a more dangerous signal, and immediately leaned over to Bai Feng's arm, tightly hugged the hand that Bai Feng was used to wielding swords, and asked: "You guys, what's the matter?" Are you going to do something dangerous?"

"Yan'er, you don't have to worry. This time, I will take you with me. Didn't I promise you before?" Bai Feng showed a rare warm smile to Murong Yan, awakening people's hearts like the bright morning sun.Seeing that young swordsman like this, Murong Yan was naturally very honored and happy, and sat back to her original position with a smile on her face.

Zhao Kuo saw that the two of them got along so tacitly and happily, but he didn't know what it was like. He just expressed a little confusion and said, "Brother Bai, what are you planning to do? You actually took Miss Murong with you. A job strapped to the waistband!"

"Brother Zhao, didn't I just say that? How I act depends entirely on myself. If it succeeds in the end, the credit is yours; if it fails, we will never see each other, and we will never drag each other down."

The three talked for a long time, from daytime to dusk, until Zhao Kuo came out of the house alone, only the fourth person dared to come forward to greet him.

Zhao Xiaomei and Ajuan stood guard not far from the door for a long time, seeing Zhao Kuo hid in the room for a long time laughing and looking up to the sky, and then came out feeling lost and lonely, they couldn't help asking why.

However, Zhao Kuo avoided answering, and just said quietly when parting: "My friend, take care."
