Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 312 Assassin
(22)

In the vast night, a man who had just escaped from the feast was walking alone.

I saw that he first walked to the roadside restaurant and stopped for a while, and then spent all the money in his body in exchange for a jar of warm wine.

Yuyi Town at night is always lively and jubilant. Although it is not as lively as in the hot summer, it is obviously much more popular than places where curfews are enforced.

The gourmets and drinkers on the left and right were all drinking and chatting. Others saw a man dressed up and appeared at night, and soon smelled the aura of wealth and gentry, so someone asked a lot: "This young master, is he from the Zhao family?" It was too boring to stay at the wedding banquet, so you just came out to get some air?"

Unexpectedly, this noble young man seemed to have formed a grudge with the speaker, casually dropped a curse-like joke, and said: "You guys still have the heart to drink here? That's right...the catastrophe is imminent, and you can enjoy yourself in time." Nothing wrong."

"Hey, how do you talk, kid?"

"By relying on your rich family background, you can speak out at will to criticize others?"

"Tsk! Let's leave him alone. How could someone suddenly leave the banquet and come out to drink? Presumably, he was kicked out of the house! Hahaha..."

Hearing this, the noble young man took another sip of the wine in resentment, leaning on the passers-by and the fence, like a blind man lost on the road, he staggered away from the restaurant.

In the next three days and three nights, people could hear stories about this noble son in any dark and humid place in Yuyi Town.

He called himself He Ba Hongyi, the son of the town general of Wuchuan Town.Whenever hunger overwhelms all bodily sensations, he will abandon all self-esteem and walk in front of anyone who might help him—this person may be a restaurant merchant, or a rich and powerful gentry, but he must look respectable anyway , because He Ba Hongyi felt that such people would not care about wasting a little food.

When he met this kind of person, he would walk up to him, bow his knees, and beg with a playful smile: "I am Heba Hongyi, the son of the town general of Wuchuan Township. As long as your Excellency is willing to give me a little food, when I recover my status in the future, I will definitely give it back twice as much!"

Obviously, no one will believe He Ba Hongyi's one-sided words, because the name He Ba Hongyi is not well known at all.On the contrary, those beggars who he didn't like at all, those who lived in narrow caves like mice, were willing to give him a little food when he was almost starved to death on the street, and did not ask for anything in return.

During the day, He Ba Hongyi curled up on the corner of the street, silently lamenting the cruelty of the world.

Some people gathered in the wine shop to discuss the direction of the war. They talked eloquently and deduced the victory or defeat as if they were outside the matter; some speculators knew the urgency of the war early, and they fled. ; There are also some children of aristocratic families who were punished as hard labor. They know that the savior in their hearts is coming soon, and their rebellious hearts are just about to move.

At night, He Bahongyi slept in the loess cave with his beggars, but he never paid any attention to these beggars, he always looked superior, thought he could see through the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and would always sneer in the ears of his companions , talking loudly and annoyingly.

However, every time he fell asleep, he would cry secretly and talk about complaining in his sleep.But after one night, even he himself realized this fact, so he quickly decided that in the future, he would only rest when the beggars went out to beg, and he would never sleep at night again.

The arrogance and shame brought about by his family background did not allow He Ba Hongyi to show his timidity in front of those who despised him in his eyes, but he was completely unaware of it, thinking it was his pathetic self-motivation—the desire for honor and status , distinguishing oneself from ordinary people.

In fact, if he hadn't been given the surname "Heba", everything he expected would not have existed at all, and it would have been nothingness from the beginning: as the illegitimate son of a Han woman in a traditional Xianbei family, the existence of Heba Hongyi is obviously the Heba family of Wuchuan. shame.

People who think they see reality clearly often forget to see themselves clearly, and often wait until it is too late when they lose everything.

In order to find a way to resist the invasion of the coalition forces, everyone in the Yuyi Academy gathered their strength and searched everywhere for the son of the Heba clan who had been living on the streets for several days.It wasn't until the morning of the fourth day after Zhao Kuo's coming-of-age ceremony that Zhao Xiaomei found He Ba Hongyi's trace beside a culvert based on the information of the servant.

Seeing the Heba family sitting dejectedly by the river, the little girl asked the left and right servants to tie Heba Hongyi to the carriage by force without saying a word, and took him back to Yuyi Academy.

Upon hearing the news, Bai Feng, the owner of Yuyi Academy, rushed to meet him at the gate of the academy. He Ba Hongyi was bound and got off the carriage. Seeing that the young swordsman was still treating each other so sincerely, he suddenly laughed loudly.

"Baifeng, you just want to get more military information out of me. Why are you so hypocritical? Why don't you just torture me directly, anyway, there is no difference between the two, and the end result is the same - it should be said, I will definitely say it; what should not be said, I will never say it."

After hearing this, the disciples around Baifeng refuted with words.

Thorn has always regarded Bai Feng as an idol, he knows that his senior brother really treats each other sincerely and intends to attract talented people, so he retorted: "Mr. "

"Hmph, I already knew that he was just like a villain, saying one thing and doing another." Yue Qingling put up the airs of an adult, crossed his hands in front of his chest, imitating Murong Yan's gentle tone, and retorted: "Although Senior Sister Murong always said, 'Young Master He Ba once offered to save you, so it's a kindness' but this guy, didn't he still fail to save Senior Sister from the villain in the end?"

Bai Feng looked at He Ba Hongyi in silence for a long time, his eyes were fierce and helpless, and finally he only replied: "Everyone, let's go back to the front hall to discuss."

After a while, everyone gathered in the hall, but saw that the map of Beizhen had already been erected in the hall, as if it looked like a command battalion in wartime.

Bai Feng sat in the upper seat, with a map drawn on parchment hanging behind his back, while He Ba Hongyi sat a foot away from him, and Zhao Xiaomei sat behind Bai Feng and listened, doing her best to assist Murong Yan when she was involved in important matters ability.

Zhao Xiaomei and He Bahongyi drank hot tea and warm wine one after another, and asked about their health. They thought that Bai Feng would be more anxious to ask questions, but unexpectedly, this young swordsman was more calm than anyone else, and kept silent.

He Ba Hongyi decided to follow his plan, and didn't plan to talk to Bai Feng, and continued to ask his younger sister, "Why don't you see Miss Murong, is she busy taking care of patients?"

"No, Sister Murong is no longer helping out at the Medical Center." The younger sister replied: "Now, she is taking care of daily affairs in the 'Six Ailments Hall'."

"Six Ailments Hall?" He Ba Hongyi asked: "The Six Ailments Hall has been built now?"

"Yes." Bai Feng took a sip of tea, licked the chapped lips that looked like they hadn't been wet all day, and replied: "Thanks to Brother He Ba's great help, a large number of homeless people in Yuyi Town With a real habitat."

"Don't put a high hat on me." He Ba Hongyi said: "Whatever Senior Brother Bai wants to ask, just ask."

"Then, I won't be polite." After Bai Feng finished speaking, she stood up, pointed to the west and north lines of Yuyi Town on the map, and asked, "I want to know how many troops are there on the west line and the north line respectively. ? Among them, the Xianbei people accounted for a few percent, the Han people accounted for a few percent, Rouran..."

He Ba Hongyi sneered "haha" abruptly, interrupted Bai Feng's questioning, and then sneered: "I said, Senior Brother Bai, Hero Bai, is it possible that Your Excellency is planning to make a plan to split the coalition forces of the six towns by themselves? "

"Eh..." Bai Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed, as if he was investigating something: "So what?"

"I advise you to give up early." He Ba Hongyi said: "The combined forces of the Six Towns Alliance Army and the Rouran Army have at least 15 troops, and the leader He Batao's military management methods are even more harsh to the point of inhumane... In my eyes, this kind of army is like a 'beast' army. There is only one possibility to destroy their unity, and that is, you are stronger than them."

"An army of beasts?" Zhao Xiaomei murmured, then suddenly gasped.

He Ba Hongyi continued: "Obviously, Yuyi Town is now isolated outside the six towns, and its strength is weak. If there is another fight, it will be like hitting a stone with an egg."

"Okay...Okay." Bai Feng repeatedly stroked his forehead and sighed, and replied disappointedly: "Brother He Ba, please let me take my leave for the time being, I won't entertain you."

As soon as the words fell, Bai Feng frowned and went outside to call the disciples and servants to prepare horses and carts, saying that he was going to the Zhao family to discuss important military matters.Seeing this, the little girl hurriedly followed after a while.
