Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 608: Colorful Dance on Three Stages

(1)

There will always be difficulties in the journey, and people will have various reasons to stop and rest, but all difficulties will always be solved - Bai Feng could have thought so, he used to think so, and encouraged disappointed people in the same way.

But now, he has forgotten this habit.

Bai Feng prefers to replace silence with action: whether it is chivalrous or trivial in life, all "present moments" are preparations for the future.

If rest is not for better progress, then rest is meaningless. The so-called luck has always only favored those who are well prepared, even if the future we imagine may never come. So instead of clasping your hands together to pray, it is better to move your body first.

Bai Feng's style of doing things has become more distinct. If Murong Yan will be the banner to rally people's hearts, then he will be the one responsible for raising the banner and falling into the enemy's camp, a brave and fearless pioneer.

Normally, he was alone with just a sword, and only one night was enough to deal with all the bandits and roaming Taiping Daoists he encountered during his journey.

Everyone feels at ease with Bai Feng around. He always seems to be full of energy, but never makes people feel frivolous. Everyone who gets close to him can feel his genuine respect.

After two months of long journey, winter had already arrived. They planned to take the opportunity to enter the Beizhen area through Qunma Pass. On the way, they passed through Yecheng, but were unexpectedly blocked by the Taiping Dao followers there.

  Yecheng was originally an important city of the Cao Wei regime in the late Han Dynasty, with many scenic spots and historical sites, and frequent exchanges of people. However, after the Taiping Dao entered, local officials were lazy and derelict in their duties, and roads were damaged and river dams collapsed without repair; farmers and merchants were lazy and indulged in the study of magic, which led to every family having more expenses than income, farmland being abandoned, shops not opening, and even worse, families were broken up!

The former cultural and economic center was turned into wasteland in just a few years.

The Taiping Dao was so deeply rooted that it was even able to take over the world-famous Bronze Sparrow Tower, Golden Phoenix Tower, and Jade Dragon Tower for use in religious ceremonies and daily banquets.

After Bai Feng heard the news on the street, his expression was extremely heavy. He returned to the inn and said to Murong Yan, "We must eradicate the Taiping Dao here. If we continue to let it go, it will soon spread to Beizhen."

Murong Yan said, "They are the only ones here, without exception!" She looked at the waiter passing by, and then at the old shopkeeper by the gate. Everyone stared at her with strange eyes: "I can feel it... Brother Feng, can you get rid of everyone?"

Bai Feng said: "There is no need to do that. We just need to seize the three platforms and then make the truth of the longevity technique public, and these rabble will disperse on their own."

"Capture the three platforms? How easy is that!" Yu Wenxuan took a sip of tea. A servant shouted, "Excuse me!" and then put down a large plate of chicken. Yu Wenxuan keenly realized that the other party might have overheard something, so he deliberately threw a few copper coins in front of the servant: "Tell me, you didn't hear anything just now."

"Yes, yes! I know nothing." After saying that, the servant hurried away in small steps.

Yu Wenxuan immediately changed his words and said, "I heard that there are so many beauties in these three platforms, and there are many talented men and beautiful women. I have limited knowledge, so I must go and see them for myself."

Amidst the laughter, he even had the leisure to chat with the shopkeeper in front of the gate.

That night, the four travelers gathered together and discussed matters carefully, and they only dared to light one candle.

"It seems that you don't know how important the Three Terraces are in Wei. The Taiping Dao knows it better than you, so they can easily control the entire Yecheng." Yuwen Xuan said truthfully: "People always say that Wei Wu built the Three Terraces just for his own enjoyment. In fact, if there were no Three Terraces, how could Cao Mengde win over so many heroes? You can imagine that hundreds of years ago, those who left their names in history books drank and wrote poems in the Three Terraces, exchanged experiences, and conspired to rule the world together!"

Seeing him talking about the past, Yu Ke was disgusted and retorted, "What does your nonsense have to do with us? If you have a solution, then speak up. If you don't, then shut up. It's just like when you encountered danger before, you hid at the back."

"I am reminding you that Santai is not a place that can be easily captured!" Yu Wenxuan said calmly: "It must be heavily guarded. Even those extremely powerful 'medicine men' that Brother Bai has met before are likely to appear there, and there will definitely be more than one!"

Murong Yan asked: "Master Yuwen is so concerned about meeting a strong enemy this time, do you have any solution?"

"I do have a solution, but I don't want anyone to take the risk. This is a road to death!" Yu Wenxuan looked at Bai Feng helplessly: "I think we should take a detour and go directly to Qunma Pass?" Bai Feng replied sharply: "You know this is impossible."

Yu Ke also echoed: "Coward, you are saying discouraging words again!"

"I think everyone is alive and going to Beizhen together, what's wrong with that!" Yu Wenxuan was a little angry and embarrassed. He stood up and walked to the windowsill, wanting to open the window to get some fresh air, but unexpectedly there was a person sitting outside the window!

Bai Feng immediately drew his sword and approached.

"Who's there?"

The mysterious man turned his back to the moonlight, gently supported Bai Feng's shoulders, turned over and dodged Bai Feng's sword.

"I say, you guys are too careless. Don't you even know that walls have ears?"

The man had a well-proportioned figure and a noble brow. Although there were some white hairs among his black hair, showing the traces of time, his two neat and shiny beards were still as bright as his eyebrows.

"Su Qing?" Bai Feng put down his sword and said in surprise, "Brother Su!"

"Brother Bai..." Su Qing went over and hugged Bai Feng solemnly, "I haven't seen you for many years. Are you doing well?"

Su Qing no longer looked like the playboy who always wore blue clothes and paraded through the streets five years ago. He now wore simple clothes, with only a blue scarf that was relatively expensive, as if it was a hobby that he managed to maintain among various choices.

"Miss Murong, is everyone okay?"

"Okay, what about you?" Murong Yan asked.

"Me? Haha..." Su Qing sneered and sat down: "It's a long story, but I'm quite interested in what you just discussed. Can you continue, Master Yuwen?"

Yu Wenxuan asked: "Why did you follow me secretly? Did someone leak the secret?"

"No one leaked the secret, but someone told me that the person I was looking for showed up." Su Qing said, "Yuwen Xuan, Murong Yan, Bai Feng, we parted on the battlefield five years ago, and today we finally meet again. I should have treated everyone to a drink, but unfortunately I'm not in the mood now."

Bai Feng said: "Brother Su, can you tell me why you are in Yecheng?"

"Madam Xiang has joined the Taiping Dao." Su Qing laughed defiantly, "Yes, she is the woman who was devoted to me, but left without saying a word, and finally joined my greatest enemy. I want to save her, I swear, I must save her!"

Everyone looked at Su Qing in amazement. He had changed his previous unrestrained style of behavior. Now he was like a wild wolf wearing shackles walking in the wilderness. In order to break free from the shackles, he had to find the person who had locked him in the shackles.

"Now that we have strong support, we have a chance of winning." Yu Wenxuan finally told his plan: "I have a way to send one person in, but only one person. As long as this person can successfully sneak into the Tongque Tower and create chaos, then the people we have ambushed outside can successfully start the rebellion."

After saying this, Yuwen Xuan looked at Bai Feng and said suspiciously, "In fact, it would be better for Miss A Ke to take on this role, but I believe Brother Bai would not agree."

"Brother!" Yu Ke looked at Bai Feng expectantly: "Let me go, I can help."

"It can only be me. No one here is more familiar with how to deal with Taiping Dao than me." After Bai Feng finished speaking, Yuwen Xuan began his own plan.
