Chapter 460 The Sword of Destiny
(4)

In the old street in the northwest of Jinyang City, there is an old shop that has been open for more than 20 years.

The boss is a loyal person. He has been working hard since his father started running the tea stall, until one day he saved a little bit of family property and opened a small shop. He did not forget the simple character of hard work.Baifeng and the others chose this place as a temporary resting place.

Knowing the difficulties of Baifeng and the others, the owner of the inn generously provided them with a secret meeting place and helped them inquire about the news... Although it was a small favor, it was very popular.

It's a pity that fate plays tricks on people, and sometimes it is inevitable to do bad things with good intentions.After learning that Baifeng was hiding here, more and more strange faces came in. They were dressed in different ways, and their demeanors were calm or cold. Among them, there were obviously countless eyeliners.

As the least conspicuous person among them, Yu Ke knew that she did not have the ability to influence Bai Feng's decision, but ever since more and more eyeliners came to spy on her, she felt more and more uneasy.

Finally one day, after she finished practicing swordsmanship, she plucked up the courage to ask Bai Feng, "Brother Yi, those people came again today, do you want me to drive them away for you?"

"No need." The young swordsman sat in the corner of the inn, raised his eyes slightly to the place where the noise came from, and replied, "Let them ask enough."

Yu Ke was puzzled and said: "Let them continue to ask, the news about the acquaintance between Brother Yi and Mr. Yuwen will soon spread! Brother Yi...do you really want to go?"

"How about letting them know?" Bai Feng showed a reassuring smile, and said, "At that time, you and Ayu will also go to watch the ceremony together. It must be a very grand banquet."

"Oh." Yu Ke nodded, Fang wanted to ask what happened, but Bai Feng blurted out: "Are you afraid that I will die there? By the way, have you found news about your mother these few days?"

Yu Ke said: "I... No, the innkeeper told me that no one knows these things. In this old street, there are not even a few people who can read."

"The current clues are only a letter and half a jade pendant. It is really not easy to find someone related to him in Jinyang City." Seeing the other party's uneasy face, Bai Feng comforted him: "Don't worry, I will talk to you." You find her together."

There was no reason for Yu Ke not to follow, even though she felt very angry when she heard the innkeeper's trembling voice under the duress, all she could do was trust the boy in front of her.

While looking at Bai Feng, the poor innkeeper dealt with the aggressive court hawks. He had no choice but to tell what he had seen and heard and immediately distanced himself from Bai Feng: "He is no longer with me now. Yes! It’s the same if you continue to ask, if you’re gone, you’re gone!”

Sitting in the corner, the young man sipped his wine glass and smiled, as if everything was under control.

After getting satisfactory results, the group of hawks and dogs left immediately to clean up the shop.

Things like this happened for a few days, until the day before the old emperor's birthday, all the concubines and princes living in the palace, relatives of the emperor and relatives stationed in various places, high-ranking officials and dignitaries all came to Jinyang City. Gifts with unique customs brought by their respective jurisdictions solemnly congratulated the old emperor on his birthday.

The parade floats are full of dancers with drum music. Their arms are hung with gold and silver jade rings, their graceful bodies are half exposed, and they wear cloud sleeves. Against the backdrop of the noon sun, they look like fairies descending to earth.

Countless people in the city followed the parade all the way, not only to admire the heroic appearance of the royal family and nobles, but also to pick up the jewels and silver that they accidentally dropped.From the imperial palace all the way to the center of Jinyang city, the alleys were empty for a while.

Under the guidance of the Heavenly Master Taipingdao, the parade team came to the most prosperous place in Jinyang City, where they will hold the most important sacrifice.

The sound of the drums gradually ceased, and the surroundings were solemn.Suddenly, several pairs of shirtless men and women in hakama skirts appeared here. They all had strange tattoos, and their bodies were covered with marble-like black-brown dye, and a few bright red lines were drawn from between their breasts. Make it look like the eyes; draw the lips from the navel to make it look like the mouth.This is called Xing Tian Zhan Wu.

"Oh Chichahou... Oh Chichahou..." One of the priests was wielding a huge axe, while the other held a shield. They were horns for each other, and they had a perfect understanding, speaking an ancient language that ordinary people could not understand.

After this obscure sacrificial performance, it was finally the turn of the foreign envoys to pay tribute. As the neighboring state of Da Zhou, which had a long-standing grudge against Da Qi, its envoys would naturally attract the attention of everyone.

"Yu Wenxuan, envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, come forward to have an audience!" The eunuch Mei Lin stood beside the old emperor, gently rolled up the bead curtain, and invited Gao Huan out from behind the curtain.

Gao Huan stood on top of the chariot. He hadn't seen anyone coming for a long time, and asked with some displeasure, "Where are people?"

Mei Lin panicked, "I'm afraid I didn't hear the summons, so I'll call again!"

"Yu Wenxuan, envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, come forward to see me!"

After a while, Yu Wenxuan shouted: "I'm here, don't act rashly!"

But seeing a young man raised a dagger to threaten the envoy's life, immediately the surrounding guards surged up and surrounded the two men.

"I want to see Sima Tu! I want to see Sima Tu, the Heavenly Master of the Taiping Dao!" The young man threatened, "If you don't let me see him, the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not be able to live today!"

Seeing that it was the boy who disobeyed him, Mei Lin laughed disdainfully and said, "Why do you want to see Master Tianshi?"

"Sima Tu kidnapped my wife and imprisoned her in the palace. How long will he be allowed to act recklessly like this monster!"

Before the words fell, the old Taoist with a long beard immediately refuted it, saying: "It's a bunch of nonsense, Taiping Dao will never do things against human nature. Your wife must be willing to convert to Taiping Dao."

"You deceive the crowd with your demonic words!" The boy got a little excited, and the dagger in his hand cut a fresh wound, and Yu Wenxuan yelled in pain, "Help! Help! I am the envoy of the Great Zhou. If you let me Die here, this will lead to a catastrophe!"

After a while, a one-armed swordsman suddenly emerged from the crowd, and said to the gangster who held Yu Wenxuan hostage: "Brother Bai, why are you so restless, even God can't help you if you do such a thing! "

"Get out of the way and ask Sima Tu to come and talk to me! Otherwise..." Bai Feng pressed the dagger against Yu Wenxuan's throat, and said with a grin, "Everyone don't want to live."

The one-armed swordsman shook his head in disappointment, and suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, a sharp whip struck Baifeng's dagger-holding arm, and Yu Wenxuan took the opportunity to escape.

"Today, I'm going to do justice for the heavens!" the one-armed swordsman yelled in a serious manner, and immediately went to fight with him.

Mei Lin couldn't stop laughing when he saw this, and whispered to Gao Huan: "According to the report of the old slave's servants, these three people have already met in secret. I'm afraid they want to play a farce to embarrass you for the king."

"Hmph, a child's trick!" Sima Tu immediately echoed.

Gao Huan watched them fight below, not only did not get angry, but felt a little curious, and said, "Let them fight, we will wait and see what happens."

"I regard you as a brother, why do you help that Yao Dao!" Bai Feng rose up angrily, and finally drew his sword out of its sheath. His eyes widened, but what attracted his attention was the appearance of the sword, which indeed seemed familiar.

When Baifeng and the one-armed swordsman were about to fight for life and death, a general with a spear galloped up on horseback, passed between the two, and then shot back at the horse. Baifeng softened his hand slightly, and the sword was confiscated .Seeing the great momentum, the boys around him immediately stepped forward to subdue Bai Feng.

The general returned to Bai Feng with the Longming Sword, and asked seriously: "Where did you get this sword?"

Bai Feng said: "This is a relic left by my master... General, can you tell me who you are?"

"General Hussars, be high." After speaking, he presented the Longming Sword in front of Gao Huan, and instead of whispering for a while, he took the sword away.

Gao Huan stood on the chariot and asked: "Assassin, you said that Sima Tu imprisoned your wife, do you have evidence?"

"Evidence? You let me see her, everything will be clear."

Mei Lin seemed to have read the old emperor's thoughts, and immediately agreed with him: "The common people say that the Taiping Dao is the 'road' to save the world. If today's incident gets out, it will not be very good?"

"Mr. Sima, look at this..." Gao Huan looked at Sima Tu, his expression didn't look like asking for advice, but an order.

Sima Tu cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Tai Ping Dao has never forced people to be difficult. You can tell if you are imprisoned or not. However, the assassin has offended the king. This trip must wear shackles and go as a criminal!"

"Okay, this matter is over." Gao Huan waved his sleeves and ordered the servant: "Take Yu Wenxuan, the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, to heal his wounds."

Mei Lin agreed, and the tour quickly resumed as before.
