Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 637: The Battlefield

(2)

Returning to the old place this time, Bai Feng did not have any special feelings, neither excitement nor fear.
He once plotted to kill the "Seven Big Dippers" of the Taiping Dao here, and also threatened Empress Gao with a sword, but now everything is over.

My heart has returned to peace, and it seems as if the villains I killed last night had never existed. They have all become embellishments on my journey.

There was a pool of blood, and ripples suddenly appeared on the edge.

Hands covered in blood.

Bai Feng remained indifferent. His eyes were firm, and he only looked ahead.

The door of the Gao family mansion is never opened to anyone at will. Even though only the eldest sister Gao Xijun is left in the family, she seldom interacts with her noble relatives in the city.

However, Bai Feng could easily enter and exit through the gate, and had just killed someone in the city.

Gao Xijun called Bai Feng over early in the morning to ask him to explain the whole story of what happened last night.

"I wanted to give them money and ask them to tell the people in Jinyang that Bai Feng is back! And by the way, I could also give Yan'er and the others a quiet place." He seemed to be asked about family matters, and then answered casually: "In the end, everyone saw it. If I don't kill him, no one will believe that Bai Feng is still alive."

Gao Xijun frowned and smoothed her graying hair: "You, you, five years have passed, and your behavior has not changed, but has become even worse! Haven't you suffered enough in the past?!"

"Madam Xijun, I am just following the plan. I cannot betray my friends." Bai Feng bowed and said, "Bai Feng will not stay for long. I will leave after I get rid of the Taiping Dao."

Gao Xijun had nothing to say.

After a while, Murong Yan and her two companions met the owner of the mansion.

When Gao Xijun saw Murong Yan coming, she immediately had someone push a wheelbarrow and came to her in person, saying with concern: "Yan'er, are you okay? You have been wearing shackles all the way, it must have been hard for you."

"Thank you Madam Xijun for your concern. If it weren't for this shackle, which allowed me to pretend to be a witch captured by the Taiping Dao, how could we have gotten away with it?" Murong Yan didn't feel wronged. Instead, she comforted Gao Xijun and joked, "I have to thank it for keeping me safe along the way."

Gao Xijun couldn't help but sigh and said, "You guys, why did you do this? You've disappeared for five years, and now the situation is the most dangerous and complicated, and you're back again?! Feng'er, Yan'er, even if it's for your own sake, you shouldn't have abandoned everything and returned to Jinyang."

Murong Yan looked solemn and replied, "Madam Xijun, we made this decision for our own sake. Brother Feng has already fulfilled the Master's last wish. If Madam Xijun is unwilling to take us in, we will not force her."

Gao Xijun shook her head and said, "You guys go out first, let me be alone for a while."

Without the great general Gao Gao, the Gao family mansion became much more deserted. Only a few female family members stayed by Gao Xijun's side to take care of her daily life. The rest of the empty houses had been uninhabited for nearly several years and were completely covered with dust.

Murong Yan walked through several doors, and Bai Feng's past experiences here slowly emerged before her eyes. She seemed to be able to feel the dispute between Bai Feng and the Gao family, and saw the traces of Bai Feng pacing and thinking all night.

In the morning glow in the distance, there was a slowly moving dark cloud. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that it was a flock of wild geese flying southward. They seemed to be heading in one direction and with one mind, but in fact they were divided into several groups. They changed their formation every time they traveled a certain distance, and then disappeared behind the clouds.

The final destination may be different for each goose. "Yan'er!" Bai Feng appeared at the corner of the decayed house: "Just now a little girl told me that an old friend came to the living room."

The two of them went over together and saw Heba Yuer and Yu Ke were already there, interrogating the newcomer.

"Are you really someone sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Ake, do you know him?"

When the man saw Bai Feng and Murong Yan, he walked over to greet them enthusiastically: "Brother Bai, and Lady Saint, Tong Yun is here to meet you two."

Bai Feng was overjoyed and said, "Brother Tong! How have you been these years?"

Tong Yun said: "It's nothing. I have traveled around these years and seen the ups and downs of the world. I go back to Jinyang once every six months to see my wife and children."

Murong Yan asked: "Is it Yingying? You have a child!"

Tong Yun scratched his head, a little shy: "It's Yingying, but I'm probably not a competent father. Alas, I'm always busy, sometimes I'm really afraid that one day I will die on the way back to Jinyang."

Bai Feng thought of Tong Yun's former appearance - that somewhat feminine look, now covered by dark and shiny skin.

"What are you doing outside?" Bai Feng asked, "If I remember correctly, Brother Tong doesn't look like someone who lacks money or opportunities."

Tong Yun said: "I want to go outside and see how everyone is doing outside Jinyang."

Murong Yan said: "Does Mr. Tong have an answer?"

"Not very good, everyone is living a half-human life. Few babies can live to adulthood, young people have no legitimate livelihood, and the elderly have no family to support them. This is the opportunity for the Taiping Dao to take advantage of the situation." Tong Yun sighed and continued: "No matter how well I do, I am just a knight-errant. It is impossible for me to help everyone. What about those who are not helped? Because of this problem, I often have to admit that the Taiping Dao has made some achievements."

Bai Feng rebuked him sharply: "What they are doing is to teach people to give up everything completely? No, this is not what people really want. They are just bewitched for a while. When they die tragically, no one will not regret it."

"Brother Bai is right. My will is not as strong as yours." Tong Yun found a place to sit down, and invited Bai Feng and Murong Yan to sit down. "To be honest, I am here at the request of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When the Crown Prince learned that Brother Bai appeared in Jinyang, he immediately came to me and asked me to deliver a secret order. I haven't read the content, but before that, I have another favor to ask of you."

Bai Feng accepted the secret order and asked, "What is the matter?"

"Brother Bai, do you still remember Yuchi Zhen and Brother Yuchi?" Tong Yun said, "After Brother Yuchi was reinstated, he has been conscientious in his duties and has solved several strange cases in succession. He was recently promoted to the position of Dali Temple Minister! Isn't that amazing? But my brother just can't get over it and has to look into that old case. In order to help Mei Xinghe, Brother Yuchi took out the case of Mei Xinghe's biological father Luo Pengfei who died in the line of duty and investigated it. As expected, he hit a hard bone."

Murong Yan asked: "What happened to Lord Yuchi?"

"Mei Xinghe has been missing for three months!" Tong Yun took out a brocade bag from his arms, which contained a forged household registration and name. "This is given to you by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Take it first. Currently, Jinyang is still heavily guarded, and the situation in the north is still very tense. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince plans to dispatch troops out of the city when the time is right to create an opportunity for Brother Bai and you to enter the palace! During this period, if Brother Bai is willing, you can go to the Dali Temple to discuss the case with Brother Yuchi."

After Tong Yun finished speaking, he bowed to everyone solemnly and said goodbye.

I wonder what kind of bloody storm will be set off in this glamorous imperial city.
