Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 374 Returning to the Heart Like an Arrow
(5)

The young swordsman went back to the hotel to rest for the night, and the next day, Zhao Kuo sent his teacher and aide, Fan Liwu, to come to the door in person to express his gratitude to Bai Fengfeng.

After Fan Liwu arrived at the inn, he just happened to meet the doctor who had done Shen Qiongzhi's bone grafting and healing yesterday, so he was stopped by the thorn and waited for a long time.

This Confucian scholar has always respected etiquette and despises people in the market. He stubbornly believes that everyone should restrain themselves and return to propriety, and should not overstep their duties. Today, Bai Feng actually asked an unknown servant to come to meet him, which prompted Fan Li The inherent prejudice in Wu's heart increased again, and his complexion became deeper and deeper.

After a while, the doctor came out from the house, and Thorn saw him go away, so he immediately invited him: "Mr. Fan has been waiting for a long time, please come in."

There were eight followers behind Fan Liwu, and each of them had a valuable gift in their hands. They did not follow Fan Liwu into the house, but obeyed orders and waited where they were.

"Mr. Fan, long time no see. How are you doing lately?" Bai Feng knew that she had been neglectful before, so she immediately stepped forward to greet her, and said, "I don't know why you came here this time?"

Fan Liwu pointed to the eight attendants behind him, and replied: "Master Zhao thought of your tiresome journey, and ordered this old man to send me fine wine, good meat, fine clothes and silk as rewards."

After saying that, two servants came in and presented wine and meat, and a strong smell of food immediately filled the whole room.

"This...why do you need to spend money for the villain. Didn't I tell Mr. Zhao that I just ask for some soldiers and horses, enough to escort me back to Yuyi Town..."

Fan Liwu pretended not to hear, and continued to summon all the remaining servants to come forward to present gifts, saying: "The cloth and gold hundred taels, and several boxes of jewels made by top craftsmen, please accept them together, Mr. Bai." .”

"Wow, so much silver!" Standing in front of the door, Thorn couldn't help shouting out his heart when he saw this.

"Mr. Bai, the young master has ordered you to accept it, otherwise it will be difficult for the old man to explain when he goes back." Fan Liwu snickered, contemptuously, and said: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to do it for Yuyi Academy. My disciples and students, think about it, isn't this large sum of money enough for you to show off your ambitions?"

"The villain doesn't dare, I just tried my best." Bai Feng immediately bowed his hands, first pretending to accept the reward, and then asked: "Dare to ask Mr. Fan, are you willing to condescend to visit today, I'm afraid, there are other important things to do." Shall we talk?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Bai is indeed a smart man, but it's not really important." Fan Liwu waved his hand to signal all the servants under him to come out of the house and cover the door, and continued: "Mr. Bai probably knows about the current battle situation. The army seems to have been passively defending, but in fact has been grasping the enemy's whereabouts. It is a pity that although the current town general is a member of the Zhao family, he is not talented enough. It is okay to ask him to solve the fights in the villages. On the real battlefield, his mediocrity is hard to ignore."

At this moment, Bai Feng finally saw the clue, and asked: "Then according to Mr. Fan, do you want me to replace him?"

"Your military achievements are insignificant now, so it is difficult to convince the public, so Mr. Zhao intends to let you lead the army to fight as much as possible to win the battle. In time, based on your prestige in the army and the Zhao family's support behind the scenes, you will be the leader." What's wrong with this town?" Fan Liwu's arrogance made him think that such an offer could not be refused, and he stood there with a very arrogant attitude and looked at Bai Feng, as if waiting for the other party to nod and agree at any time.

"I'm sorry, it's hard to obey." Bai Feng said: "Yesterday I made it very clear to brother Zhao that the villain's ambition is not here, and he has no intention of coveting fame and fortune. I am already satisfied to be rewarded by the Zhao family."

"Is that really the case?" Fan Liwu asked: "Are you really willing to be just a doorman forever?"

Bai Feng nodded and said, "Yes."

Fan Liwu's long-awaited answer turned out to be such a result. He sneered helplessly for a moment, turned around and opened the door, and all the gifts were placed on the ground.

Shen Qiongzhi rested on the couch for a long time, confirmed that Fan Liwu had left correctly, immediately stood up and asked Murong Yan beside her, "Yan'er, what is the general?"

"It's the general."

"Is it a high official? Why doesn't Brother Feng do it?"

"Because I'm going to fight... Maybe I won't be able to come back after I go."

The young swordsman seemed to have heard the whispers of the two little girls, so he cursed sullenly: "How can I protect you if you fight like this and mix this mess?"

Shen Qiongzhi said: "You don't want to do it, so you don't have to scold these words!"

"Miss Shen, this old man Fan Liwu has always been very hostile to me. This time he is willing to praise me, so he must wish that I die sooner." Bai Feng picked up a box of gifts on the ground and handed it to Shen Qiongzhi, continuing to say: " When you meet Fan Liwu outside in the future, remember to be more careful."

Shen Qiongzhi received the gift, and kept murmuring: "If you become a high-ranking official in the future, won't we all have a better life? There will also be more pilgrims to the Holy Land..."

"I'm afraid that the master will be overwhelmed, and the bird will be hidden...Yan'er, you can understand me doing this, right?" Before Baifeng finished speaking, Thorn replied: "Senior brother, I support you!"

Murong Yan naturally followed suit and said: "Ah Jing looks like this, how can I not understand?"

"Okay, I finally understand, you bully me by occupying so many people!" Shen Qiongzhi pouted and opened the gift from Baifeng, and was immediately attracted by the beautifully shining gems in the box: "Look, this one Blue gemstones; look, this pair of gilt earrings; and also, this pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets... Yan'er, put them on for me and see if they look good.

Seeing that Shen Qiongzhi was coaxed so easily, Bai Feng confirmed that she had never really hated him.

"Maybe it's really just a difference of position," he mused.

Afterwards, Bai Feng and his party rested for a few days to accommodate Shen Qiongzhi's injury. During this period, Shen Qiongzhi supplemented with medicinal meals made of precious ingredients every day, bathed in fragrant soup every day, and his clothes and accessories were completely renewed.

The face of the poor monk in the past is no longer, but now Shen Qiongzhi's figure is gradually plump, with red lips and white teeth, her fingers are cut and jade and Murong Yan are in love like sisters. The beauty is even better than that.Because of this, Bai Feng is often ashamed to take the initiative to talk to Murong Yan, because he is taboo to meet such a beautiful and moving Shen Qiongzhi, which will remind him of what happened that day in the holy hot spring.

They didn't decide to set off until Shen Qiongzhi was able to walk on the ground by himself.No matter what Zhao Kuo and Fan Liwu tried to persuade, Bai Feng resolutely decided to return to Yuyi without any delay.

Ever since, the four of them led a hundred troops the next day, pretending to be businessmen and tourists, and all went to Yuyi Town.
