Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 5 Wandering
(5)

After all the soldiers left the inn, Bai Feng's heart that had been hanging was finally relieved.Then he turned his head and walked towards the wooden stairs leading to the pavilion, looking for the companion who planned the miraculous plan together.

Who would have guessed that halfway through, the sound of fighting was still heard.So, the young swordsman hurriedly rushed to Zhao Kuo's side.

I saw Zhao Kuo wrestling with a soldier in the wooden corridor, shouting loudly: "How can you let you go! Dare to attack me, and even cut my favorite clothes!"

At first, Zhao Kuo pressed the soldier under him, and took advantage of the situation to continuously attack the soldier's head with his fists. The soldier raised his arms to cover his head to resist the momentum.Suddenly, the soldier seemed unbearable, and pushed his left leg up, instantly knocking Zhao Kuo upside down.

After a while, the soldier wanted to reverse the situation that he had been suppressed, and took advantage of the opportunity to scream at the rich boy.However, because of the huge disparity in strength, Zhao Kuo, who got up quickly, easily counterattacked, knocked the weak soldier down again, and pressed against his throat, completely subduing the opponent.

"Come on, surrender is not surrender!"

"I...cough...I... cast..."

This slanderous scene was captured under Bai Feng's eyes.

Zhao Kuo let go of the weak soldier who was bound by him, and after standing up, he did not forget to kick the dying soldier a few times to confirm again and again that he had lost the ability to resist.Finally, he walked towards Bai Feng, with a proud smile on his face, and said, "I thought they were so strong that they all seemed like they didn't eat."

While observing the broken sword in her hand, Bai Feng replied, "Maybe they really didn't eat..."

"Brother Bai, you are really capable. You actually drove the dozens of soldiers away!" Zhao Kuo said with admiration: "By the way, how did Brother Bai come up with this strategy? Still calm and composed, I really admire you!"

"The so-called capture the thief first capture the king." Bai Feng looked at the broken blade with a gap in his hand and sighed, and then replied: "What's more, a group of thieves who are at the end of their lives?"

Zhao Kuo couldn't bear his temper, and wanted to get a glimpse of the mystery, he interrupted and asked, "How do you say this?"

Bai Feng glanced at Zhao Kuo and said, "These words will be discussed later, Brother Zhao should first find a rope to tie the captured prisoners, and I will find a good one from the weapons left by the group of soldiers. "Then Bai Feng threw Zhao Kuo on the spot without turning his head, and the latter sighed helplessly and obeyed Bai Feng's instructions.

Bai Feng walked down the pavilion at random, Zhao Kuo clasped the captive soldier's hands, and followed closely behind.The two came back victorious, and their faces were full of joy.The mood of the people downstairs seems to have not recovered from the danger just now: Ah Bian caressed the shopkeeper's back to let his breath go; the pair of Xianbei warriors were searching for the remains of the soldiers they killed, while their mouths Complaining that these deserters have nothing more than themselves.

Everyone followed the footsteps and looked towards the stairs. The commoner boy only glanced at them and walked towards the pile of discarded swords. The rich boy who followed closely followed a Han soldier in front of him, staggering away. Down the stairs.Zhao Kuo saw the shopkeeper beside him, and he stepped forward to ask if there was any sturdy rope.The soldier who was dying before the shopkeeper met, he had not been able to get over it, but he recovered seventy or eighty percent in an instant, and said in a buoyant voice, "A-bian, hurry up and get it!"

After a while, the soldiers tied with thick ropes were left to hang out, still unconscious.The shopkeeper, Ah Bian, and Zhao Kuo waited beside the soldiers.Bai Feng picked up the weapons all over the ground under the eyes of the three of them. He said that the blade of the sword was rusted badly, and that the sword was too heavy, and that he took care of himself, which was left behind by the Han soldiers. Pacing between the "ruins".

After a while, the taller warrior among the Xianbei brothers walked towards Bai Feng with admiration in his eyes.He stopped the commoner boy who was looking for a good weapon, and said, "Little brother! If it wasn't for you to help us, our two brothers would never have been able to retreat. We Xianbei people have always repaid our kindness and revenge! What does the benefactor need us to do, our brothers are bound to do it!"

Bai Feng picked up the long sword he just picked up from the ground, smiled and replied, "I don't want to help the two of you get out of trouble. On the contrary, I just use you as "bait" to lure away most of the combatants so that I can hold that bearded man hostage and drive these robbers away. Therefore, I am not your benefactor."

The Xianbei warrior was puzzled, and said, "Dare to ask if Engong is despising us?"

In fact, Bai Feng made this statement in order to put aside the unequal relationship between the "genderer" and the "recipient" of the Xianbei brothers - what he wanted was a capable partner.He is well aware of the complexity of people's hearts. Xianbei people will never be willing to be with him because of this matter. The safest way is to make the interests of both parties related.

For this reason, Bai Feng replied: "Of course not, I'm just speaking my heart out. However, I advise you two brothers to leave this place quickly. According to the soldiers just now, the chasing soldiers will soon find their way. to here."

"But... at the ends of the earth, I really don't know where to flee." The Xianbei warrior looked at the dark sky outside the door, and followed the starlight, the farther he looked.

"Go back to the north." Bai Feng walked to his side, and the two stood shoulder to shoulder.Then he said earnestly: "Aren't you and your brother tired of living in the Central Plains? Just in time, my friends and I are going to the north..."

The Xianbei warrior looked at the young swordsman with a smile, seemed to understand what he meant, and said, "Then... Excuse me, can my brother and I go with you?"

Bai Feng was silent, only returning the same smile, everything was silent.

"My Chinese name is Tuoba Chong, and my younger brother's name is Tuoba Lang." The Xianbei warrior bowed his hands and looked behind him, "Hey! Where are the others?"

"I just saw him go back to the room with a tired face." Bai Feng said.

"Oh! What time is it, I still want to sleep!"

The commoner boy was made by the alien warrior who stood taller than him, and then said, "Don't be in such a hurry, Brother Tuoba. We can wait for the first rooster before we set off." He then bowed his hands and said: : "Xia Baifeng, please give me more advice."

The two reached an agreement just before the broken corner table that had been folded in half.

The group of Zhao Kuo next to them all engraved what they heard in their hearts, and they were all impressed by this medium-sized commoner boy.Especially the shopkeeper: Previously, his impression of Bai Feng was still that of an ignorant young man who didn't know the price and was ignorant of the world.But in the next moment, all old cognitions were annihilated.

Zhao Kuo saw that the two were talking and laughing at Yan Yan, thinking that they had already agreed, and wanted to go over to understand the situation.

"Brother Bai! Seeing that the two of you are having such a good conversation, I almost couldn't bear to interrupt the conversation." Immediately, they looked at Tuoba Chong meaningfully, and the two looked at each other for a while.Then Zhao Kuo grabbed Bai Feng's arm, moved away from the Xianbei man Tuoba Chong, lowered his voice and said, "How can you ignore my wishes and directly reach an agreement with someone, I hired you!"

Seeing that Zhao Kuo was almost grinning, Bai Feng appeared contented and said, "This is the most reasonable plan at the moment, if Brother Zhao has a better way, you don't have to do what I want. ."

"If there is a better way, do I need your help?" Zhao Kuo whispered reluctantly.

"Brother Zhao, try to let go of your prejudices and accept them slowly." Bai Feng faced the young man who was half his head taller in front of him, put a hand on his shoulder, and said like a child: "If it wasn't for them, neither of us would have survived tonight, so they are half our saviors!"

After thinking about it again and again, Zhao Kuo had to listen to Bai Feng's advice, go to Tuoba Chong to show his goodwill, and promised to give him a generous reward after the completion of the matter.The matter has finally come to an end, and you can finally enjoy this moment of peace.

After everyone went back to the room to rest, only Bai Feng stayed where he was, waving the iron sword he had just found.After trying the new weapon, I just wanted to sit down and rest, but I was suddenly caught by the flickering fire on the candlestick.

It turned out that the wick was about to burn out, so the young swordsman naturally wanted to replace it subconsciously.When he approached, he seemed to be trapped by the small warmth, as if he was lost in thought and recalled some past events.

He stared at the flame for a moment, until it was completely extinguished.Walking to the door of the inn, he looked in the direction that Tuoba Chong, the Xianbei native, had just looked at—the direction he had come from, and said silently, "I...will definitely come back..."

After the first rooster crowed in the morning, the four of them were ready to go.Just as Bai Feng stepped out of the door of the inn, the voice of the shopkeeper stopped the four of them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stay!"

Bai Feng hesitated for a moment, then asked puzzled: "What's wrong? Is it because the rent is not enough?"

"What about the rent! You are my saviors! Needless to say, my shop will not be able to open. So I plan to leave this place and go back to my hometown. It's my guy... look at myself. It's hard to guarantee, if you bring another person, wouldn't it make the journey more dangerous? So..."

"So you want him to go with us?"

"Hey...that's right..." the shopkeeper replied quickly, "I picked up that kid from a run-down village. Since that day, I've let him be a boy by my side, and I haven't seen much of the world. However, he He is proficient in chores such as laundry and cooking! He can also help you on the road. Besides, it is better for him to follow a few of you with high martial arts skills than to follow an old man like me..."

Bai Feng looked at Ah Bian, the young man hiding behind the shopkeeper, with a little more pity in his eyes, and said, "Yes, but we don't take in people who don't work." Bai Feng said as he untied the clothes on his body. Carrying the burden, he said, "Besides the chores of washing and cooking, there is one more thing I need to ask Brother Ah Bian." After that, Bai Feng handed over the flute and the gourd to Ah Bian, and said, "These two things , it is very important to me, please keep it safe, Brother Ah Bian."

"I, can I?" Ah Bian's tongue began to tremble again.

"From now on, you are our partner."

Then, the shopkeeper gave Ah Bian a few words before leaving, which made Ah Bian burst into tears like a girl.In the end, it was Bai Feng's repeated assurance that he would protect Ah Bian, so that the two "father and son" were separated.

In this way, Zhao Kuo, Bai Feng and the other five started their journey by walking on the mountain trail washed by the morning sun.
