Chapter 428 The Uninvited Guest

(7)

After Sima Tu left, people at that time went to congratulate Baifeng because they heard that Baifeng was about to be conferred a title.

The next day, the disciples of the academy just discovered that Bai Feng and Murong Yan had set up a spiritual altar in their residence for people to sacrifice.They didn't know who they were mourning for, so they could only discuss in private with their own thoughts.

Bai Feng fasted for three days, wrapped her hair in plain clothes, and watched the spirit every day, seemingly preoccupied; Murong Yan was hosting the guests, and would sing an elegy every day to appease the departed souls.

The ballads of foreign races reverberate in the academy. Most people don’t understand the lyrics. They just feel the melody is sad yet solemn. It seems to be praising the tenacity and fragility of life. Those souls who have been buried will definitely come back to take a look at us with the singing ... After listening, you will feel awe in your heart.

Once the three days have passed, it's time to reward meritorious deeds.The two of Bai Mu didn't put on new festive clothes, they still wore plain hair, as if they were about to attend a funeral.

Before leaving, Bai Feng picked up a pen and wrote a quatrain: "The barren grass is so beautiful, and the Bodhi is also small. Yan Shuang sent me to a distant place in the middle of October. If I push the door today, the sword will not return."

The young swordsman handed the letter to Su Qing, telling him to burn it after reading it, and then took the Xianbei witch with him and went out with his sword.

The Zhao Mansion hung up more than a dozen pairs of red lanterns today, as if they were going to hold a banquet for a whole day and night.

A Bian, who is currently in charge of the Zhao family, stood in front of the gate and counted the number of guests, and found that most of the distinguished guests had already arrived, except for General Baifeng who represented Yuyi Academy...

"Bai Shaoxia and that guy have a deep grudge, I'm afraid they won't come." A-Bian was thinking about the anecdote he had heard, and the next moment he told Zhao Kuo about it.Zhao Kuo also thought that Bai Feng should not come, because the so-called enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, so he announced the start of the banquet.

Just listening to a group of musicians playing music, leading several beauties to perform on stage, wearing gauze hats and pleated skirts, hairpins and red flowers, nodding their heads on the stage.After several rotations, the dance and music leveled up, and a peaceful atmosphere filled the hall.

A moment later, the nurse in the courtyard hurriedly stopped anyone's voice from disturbing everything.

"General Baifeng, don't bring weapons to the table."

"The general's outfit is..."

"General Baifeng, please wait for us!"

After a while, the door of the hall was kicked open, and a loud noise came down like a thunder, which shocked everyone's souls, the drums and music stopped, and the discussion stopped.

Seeing that the comers were unkind, the dancers fled in fear, but the distinguished guests who were sitting couldn't make a second choice - they escaped, how could they get credit and rewards?
"Brother Bai, you're finally here?" Zhao Kuo looked at the young man anxiously, now that he was in public, it was hard for him to say anything: "Then take a seat and sit down!"

Under the guidance of a young servant, Bai Feng and Murong Yan found a seat to sit down, which happened to be the second seat on the left of Zhao Kuo, and the first seat was naturally the elders whom the Zhao brothers and sisters rely on most now—the two. The teacher Fan Liwu; while the envoys of Daqi State sat on the right, Sima Tu and Li Keyong all looked at each other with Baifeng.

Fearing that the night would be long and dreamy, Fan Liwu bowed his hands to everyone and said: "Since we have finished, we might as well continue the topic just now... Daoist Wugou, where are you talking?"

"Ah, hehehe..." Sima Tu caressed his long beard and replied, "Yuyi Town has made great achievements in resisting the enemy. Among them, the heroes from all walks of life headed by Mr. Zhao from the Zhao family are even more heroic. King Qi was also from Beizhen. I have always respected heroes, so I specially sent the poor Taoist to confer rewards and titles on you. Come, read the imperial edict."

Li Keyong took out the imperial decree and stood in the center of the hall, saying: "Yuyi Town has made great achievements in resisting the enemy and suppressing the chaos. The town general Huang Yixiao and merchant Zhao Kuo were conferred the titles of 'Yuyi Hou' and rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred bolts of silk."

After reading these short sentences, Li Keyong went back to the table.

Zhao Kuo was puzzled and said, "That's it?"

"Hehehe." Sima Tu sneered and said, "You can also nominate three people and let them be ennobled and honored together with you."

"Okay." Zhao Kuo got up happily, and said by name, "Ma Shitu, Guo Shouyi, and... General Baifeng, the three of you come forward."

Ma Shitu and Guo Shouyi laughed from ear to ear, and went up to bow their hands in respect, but the remaining young swordsman was still sitting upright, his eyes watching Sima Tu's every move like a falcon.

"General Baifeng? General Baifeng?" Zhao Kuo repeatedly reminded him, but there was no response, and he immediately fell into a stalemate.

Everyone in the room looked at Bai Feng and begged him not to harm his good deeds, but how could Bai Feng care about this?He raised his sword and got up, he didn't stand in front of the hall to join Ma Shitu and Guo Shouyi, but just begged from the side: "Since today is such a grand event, I am willing to dance the sword to help the fun."

Bai Feng looked around, his formidable face seemed to be telling everyone: "If you have the guts, stop me and try!"

"Presumptuous!" Fan Liwu had never been threatened by a third person like this except before bowing his head in front of Zhao Wei, and he was furious: "General Baifeng, this is the Zhao residence!"

Seeing this, Zhao Kuo hurried over to appease him: "Sir, let him do it, don't worry, I have arranged everything..."

After hearing this, Ma Shitu and Guo Shouyi returned to their seats in disappointment, and gave the hall to Baifeng to perform sword dancing.

"Everyone here, do you know why I'm wearing plain hair today?" Bai Feng said, "I'm keeping vigil for my dead comrades in arms. A dance is dedicated to them..."

After he finished speaking, the young man drew his sword and unsheathed it, and the cold light of the Longming Sword was reflected in all directions, so frightened that others could not move as if they had been captured, and the cold sweat poured out.But seeing him flip up the sword flower, spin and leap, and head straight for Sima Tu!
"I'm here to add to the fun!" Li Keyong roared, and then drew two daggers from his cuffs, blocking the blow just as Bai Feng was about to succeed.

The two swordsmen presented a different sword dance and competed in the center of the hall. One wanted to assassinate, and the other wanted to die together, so many things were broken.

Li Keyong hadn't healed from his injuries in the academy a few days ago, and he was exhausted after a few days. Bai Feng saw the timing and attacked his weak spot, pushing him to the door with a horizontal sword.Li Keyong wanted to get up, and a strange guest walked out of the door.

"I didn't expect that your banquet was quite lively?" The fellow waved a paper fan, with a handsome face, and a huge and strong man escorted him behind him.

"It's really offensive for Yu Wenxuan to come here uninvited." Yu Wenxuan looked at the two swordsmen, expressed his confusion, and continued: "Although I don't know what you are doing here, the way of hospitality in Yuyi Town is good. It really chills me!"

Guo Shouyi saw that Bai Feng was so daring to speak back before, but now he rarely met a stranger, and finally couldn't bear his temper, and cursed: "Zhuzi, is the Zhao residence a place you can come and go at will?"

"I am the younger brother of the King of Great Zhou, and I was ordered to come here to confer rewards and titles on behalf of the Yuyi Zhao family and Yuyi Town!" Yu Wenxuan replied proudly: "I never thought that the king's kindness would allow you to be so kind." Waiting for a wolf-hearted dog to treat like this? Oh, isn’t that Sima Tu, the Heavenly Master of the Taiping Dao? Could it be that you have already secretly concluded a deal with the Zhao family, so you have no plans to receive our envoys from the Great Zhou at all!”

Zhao Kuo's right hand that had been held high suddenly and slowly lowered, he sighed lightly, walked away from the table, cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Mr. Yuwen, it's a villain who has neglected you, but everything comes first and then, so it's better to treat Sima After Mr. leaves, I will visit the door in person again?"

"Hmph, no need!" As soon as Yu Wenxuan finished speaking, the strong man beside him whispered something into his ear, and his haughty attitude immediately changed a lot: "Ahem, cough, cough... that man in mourning clothes My son, I think we should go, we are not welcome here."

Bai Feng seemed to sense something very wrong in the other party's eyes, and immediately said to Murong Yan: "Yan'er, let's go back to the academy. We are not blessed with this fame, so we bid farewell."

Murong Yan left at the sound, and although Sima Tu didn't say anything, he watched him off angrily,

The two of Bai Mu and Yu Wenxuan met unexpectedly, and they shouldn't have a deep friendship, but Yu Wenxuan kept saying politely: "Thanks to you making trouble inside, I have the opportunity to meet that young master of the Zhao family. As expected, he I didn’t want to meet the envoy of Da Zhou at all.”

The four of them came to a teahouse to rest for a while, and continued: "My lord, if you didn't leave just now, we would all be killed on the spot when Zhao Kuo waved his hand."

"How do you explain this matter?" Bai Feng still didn't understand at this time.

"Young Master Zhao, he won't do this kind of thing to us." Murong Yan followed suit

Yu Wenxuan said: "My subordinate Zhu Tian was born with clear eyes and ears. He noticed that there were at least fifty swordsmen ambushing around the Zhao residence. Maybe they wanted to kill you at the banquet, or Sima Tu? But Zhao Kuo seems to have softened his heart in the end..."

"My Xia Baifeng, thank you Mr. Yuwen for your guidance." After Baifeng talked for a while, when Yuwenxuan's men and horses came outside the teahouse to wait for orders, the prince and noble of the Great Zhou Kingdom said goodbye.

"General Baifeng, let's meet again by fate!"
