Heroes of the Fantasy World

The wheels of the chariot crushed the scattered flowers into dust, and the boiling cheers and fanatical support also came to an end as night fell.

During the day, most of the streets in Jinyang are dusty and people go to and fro.Butcher shops, salt shops, handicraft workshops, teahouses, and restaurants along the street are crowded with people everywhere; in front of temples where royal sacrifices are made, incense burns under various precision mortise and tenon buildings.All of this is like a river of spring tide going on and on, until it stops in the suburbs.

Once night fell, this kind of prosperity disappeared suddenly because of the strict curfew.Twilight drums and green lights, bangs and owls are the main theme at this time.

Baifeng spent the most peaceful night since leaving Beizhen.

A few quarters of an hour after sunrise, Gao Ang personally came to pick up Baifeng to meet the nobleman as agreed, but Baifeng seemed to have other ideas, and firmly stated that he would bring a few of his friends along. So another person was sent to send Fu Wentao, Ayu and Yu Ke off.

After a while, they crossed the street in an exquisite carriage, and finally stopped in front of a mansion, and the Hussar General Gao Gao personally introduced them to the gate threshold.

"You three, please rest somewhere else first. Young Xia Bai and I have other important matters to ask." Gao Ang called a few servants, sent Fu Wentao, Ayu, and Yu Ke to other places first, and then sent Bai Feng Straight away.

This mansion is very luxurious, there are more than 100 servants alone, the whole mansion is built around a royal garden, many maidservants are trimming flowers and plants in the garden, when they saw Fu Wentao and the others coming, they stopped immediately Conversation, replaced by intermittent ear-to-eye contact, which makes people feel disgusted.

"What the hell are they looking at!" Ayu hid behind Fu Wentao inseparably, as if he could only feel at ease by doing so.

Yu Ke said: "They seem to be making fun of us...I understand this feeling."

"Be patient." Fu Wentao has also experienced it, and things like this are not uncommon: "It is not good to make trouble in other people's place."

The three of them wandered around the garden, looking at the ingenious rockery, lotus ponds, railings, and stone steps, and gradually fell in love with them.

Bai Feng followed Gao Ang to the deeper part of the mansion, and he asked, "Who are we going to see?"

"Actually, it's not that you want to see him, but that he really wants to see you." After Gao Ang finished speaking, he came to a Buddhist hall. Not far away, there was a woman sitting on a cart reciting Buddhist scriptures.

"Sister, Young Hero Bai is here." Gao Ang bowed his hands to respect the woman.

The maid serving at the side steered the wheelbarrow to face Baifeng. A woman who was nearly forty years old with disabled legs was sitting there. hair.

"You are, Baifeng?" She asked the maid to push the cart slowly approaching Baifeng, and suddenly stretched out her hand to hold the other's palm. These hands are as soft and gentle as silk, as if holding the boy in an instant His weakness: "When Xiao Zhu came back, he was also at such a high-spirited age."

Bai Feng was overwhelmed by the flattery, and hurriedly took half a step back and bowed his hands in respect: "Little Bai Feng, what an offense!"

"Come closer, let me see your face clearly." The woman looked at Bai Feng expectantly, but Bai Feng couldn't respond with the same eagerness as before. He had never felt so embarrassed.

"General Gao, this is..." Bai Feng asked helplessly, "Can I?"

Gao Ang nodded and said, "Go, let my sister take a good look at you."

Bai Feng walked over and bent down, the woman stretched out her hand to caress his cheek, and murmured: "Feng'er, have you seen the sword on the Buddhist hall? It's your master Gao Zhu's sword. He led our Gao family and thousands of "Gao family troops" to fight their way through the chaos of war. He is my younger brother, my "Gao Xijun"'s own brother! I look forward to his return every day and night... "

"Master, he has passed away." Bai Feng said.

Gao Xijun sighed, "Has he left any heirs?"

"As far as I know, no heirs have been left behind." Bai Feng replied: "Since the day I met Master, he has been covered with silver hair. It’s just that I failed to recognize you, madam.”

A trace of pity flashed in Gao Xijun's eyes, but she didn't show it. Instead, she spoke to Bai Feng with a calmness that can only be acquired after years of precipitation: "Bai Shaoxia, go get your sword back! Your heroic deeds Xi Jun heard about it a little bit, I wonder if you can come to our place to lie down more in the future? Working with Xiao Ang, it will be convenient for you to go in and out of the palace frequently."

"Please forgive me for being stupid." Bai Feng was puzzled, "Why do I often go in and out of the palace?"

"Your wife is under house arrest in the palace by Taipingdao, don't you want to see her?" Gao Xijun said, "Young Xia Bai, it's only natural for you not to believe us now, but Xiao Ang and I have been admonishing the king— The Taiping Dao is really doing more and more mischief! And the officials in the government and the opposition are only concerned about power struggles, and they don't know the sufferings of the people."

Gao Ang also immediately echoed: "Bai Shaoxia, I told you before that your wife, the Xianbei witch, will become a figure who will influence our great Qi's future foundation. This statement is by no means alarmist. And your choice is also important. It matters."

After hearing this, Bai Feng looked solemn and asked, "What good will it do you for yourself? Aren't you afraid of being liquidated by the Taipingdao and the remnants of the Eunuch Party afterwards?"

"You will understand in the future." Gao Xijun took Bai Feng's hand again, and begged, "This is also your master Gao Zhu's long-cherished wish, and now we can only tell you so much."

Bai Feng heard that it was the master's long-cherished wish, so he did his part and agreed: "I know that my ability will never catch up with the master, but if there is a chance, I will definitely try. Before that, I have one important thing to ask for."

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Bai Feng agreed so readily, Gao Xijun was overwhelmed with relief: "Young Master Bai has something to ask, and our Gao family has no reason to refuse."

Bai Fengjing said: "Can you summon a girl named Yu Ke? She came with me."

After listening to Gao Ang, he immediately asked the boy to look for it.After a while, Yu Ke came with her mother's letter and token, she presented it to Gao Xijun and said.

"Madam, these are the only things left to me by my mother, please help me think of a way!"

After reading it, Gao Xijun said, "The handwriting on the letter is absolutely extraordinary. I know a famous calligrapher, and he knows the handwriting of all master calligraphers in Jinyang. My little sister can try to ask him."

"Thank you ma'am!" Yu Ke was so moved that she burst into tears, and knelt down to thank Bai Feng: "Brother Yi, Yu Ke really doesn't know what to..."

"Ah Ke, let's talk about it first after finding your mother, we now have a new clue!" Before Bai Feng finished speaking, Gao Xijun said again: "Young Xia Bai, is this your sister?"

Bai Feng said: "You can be regarded as a righteous sister. We saw her helpless on the way and happened to go to Jinyang together, so we decided to go together. As for my brothers and sisters, I was separated from them in the war."

"Your sentimental temperament is similar to Xiaozhu." After Gao Xijun finished speaking, he took his leave and went to rest.

Seeing his sister so happy today, Gao Ang was so excited that he couldn't explain it. After sending Bai Feng and others back to the inn, he gave a gift money and left a letter of recommendation for future contacts.

When he first arrived in the capital, Bai Feng almost broke into the Hongmen Banquet, so he broke through a path between Taiping Road and the eunuchs that he could continue to walk in a dignified manner.
