Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 644: The Battlefield

(9)

Thinking of the verbal battle between him and Prince Gao Yang of Qi that night, Bai Feng still has lingering fears. He clearly did not agree to anything, but in the end Gao Yang found an excuse to keep him in Crow's Nest, and today has been seven days.

Crows are filial birds and are considered "devotees" because of their habit of feeding their parents. However, not all crows in a crow's nest are like this.

During these seven days, Bai Feng, Murong Yan, Heba Yuer, and Yu Ke were all under house arrest in the same tent. Their daily lives were monitored by special soldiers and they never stepped out of the tent.

"Just like a criminal!" Heba Yuer threw his comb out of the door in anger and yelled at the guard, "You bastard outside, pick up the comb quickly!"

The soldier obeyed and presented the jade comb with both hands.

"Look, this hair is not straight no matter how hard you try. Do you know why?" Heba Yuer continued to ask, "A few days ago, I told you what herbs and flowers you needed for the medicinal bath. Are you not ready yet? My hair is dirty, but the Saint Lady still has old injuries on her body. If the wounds open, can you bear the responsibility?"

The soldier said coldly: "We have sent people to look for it. I think because the materials are special, we need to buy them from merchants in foreign lands. You should wait a few more days."

"You!" Heba Yu'er swung her skirt and grabbed the belt on the soldier's helmet. She was about to attack, but Yu Ke stopped her from the side: "Sister Yu'er, forget it, they are just following orders."

"Aren't we here to help them?" Heba Yu'er was so angry, but when she saw Bai Feng still had a confident look on her face, she couldn't help but ask, "What did the prince say to you? Lord Saint, our respected Oracle, you are doing nothing like this. Can you bear to see Yan'er suffer?"

Bai Feng asked Heba Yuer to sit down and calm down for a while, and then said, "Who said we should help them?"

"Not helping them? Then why are you still here? Are you preparing for the New Year?" Heba Yu'er was very puzzled: "I don't expect your Han prince to do anything good. No, except you, Bai Feng, there is no good person among the Han people."

Bai Feng smiled and said, "You may be right this time. Gao Yang also wants to be immortal. If I don't agree to work for him, he would rather keep us under house arrest. He can't get it himself, and he doesn't want the enemy to get it."

"Then we must leave immediately!" Heba Yuer leaned over and reached under the bed, taking out the sharp blade he had hidden for a long time: "Let's leave today, without delay."

Bai Feng said: "Why are you so impulsive? We don't need to have another enemy. Wait for the right time and make sure Gao Yang believes that we will never become his enemy."

"We don't trust him, so how can he trust us?" Heba Yuer pulled Yu Ke to question Bai Feng together: "Ake, you won't stand on his side this time, will you? It's been a few days, and Gao Yang has come to us once? Why don't you follow me and fight our way out? At least there is a way to survive."

"Brother." Yu Ke sighed, but still chose to believe Bai Feng: "Brother's decisions have never been wrong, I believe in him."

"Humph, they are all Han people as expected." Even though many years have passed, Heba Yu'er still has not changed his preconceived thinking logic - the Han and Xianbei people can never live in peace.

Bai Feng knew that she could not convince the other party, so she could only make the only exception: "You don't listen to us, but you have to listen to Yan'er, right?" As a descendant of the Han and Xianbei people, Murong Yan has combined the characteristics of both ethnic groups in appearance and personality. Sometimes she can be seen observing Han etiquette in her daily life, and occasionally she can also see her bold side as a descendant of the grassland nation. Of course, no matter when, she can show a unique and wonderful side of a saint.

There is no doubt that she is special.

"Taiping Tower is where I was imprisoned. Mei Xinghe is there." Murong Yan looked at Heba Yuer with a clever look: "Now we just need to wait for Master Tong to count the troops and get ready, then we can go together."

Heba Yuer said, "Lady Saint, how did you know that Mei Xinghe was there? Didn't you get anything out of Dao Wuyi? No, no, what's even more strange is, how did you know that the prince's people would take us with them!"

Murong Yan explained, "Dao Wuyi has a bunch of keys on him. The carved patterns are very familiar to me. I have seen them in Taiping Tower before, so I inferred that Taiping Tower has been rebuilt. Master Tong will take us there because Crow's Nest was originally built by him. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just a latecomer."

"What?!" Heba Yuer continued to ask: "Tong Yun is the boss here? But it seems that Gao Yang has much more power!"

Murong Yan said, "It's probably like this. Originally, Tong Yun and Gao Yang didn't interfere with each other, but when Gao Yang wanted to win over the current Dali Temple Minister, he was somewhat helpless. Yuchi Zhen was ruthless and impartial, and he had no handle, so it was difficult to control him. Fortunately, Gao Yang later learned that Yuchi Zhen's lover Mei Xinghe was missing, and Tong Yun happened to be looking for him, so the two of them chose to cooperate naturally."

Bai Feng sneered, "A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Miss Heba, many of these people once followed me and helped me tear down the Taiping Tower. Gao Yang definitely didn't know about this. The Crow's Nest was actually built by Tong Yun and my old subordinates. Most of the people here are old nobles. Their families abandoned them, and most of them have old grudges against the Taiping Dao."

"Brother Yi is right. Now we just need to wait patiently!" After hearing this explanation, Yu Ke finally calmed down: "Master Tong will take action soon. We don't have to stay in this place anymore, Sister Yu'er."

Heba Yu'er had been in Beizhen all the time and indeed knew nothing about what was happening in Jinyang. After hearing these words, he finally calmed down and stayed there until sunset.

That night, Tong Yun brought several of his personal guards and held hostage the guards who were guarding Bai Feng and his group of four. He said to Bai Feng, "Brother Bai, it is my fault that you have been imprisoned here for several days. I thought His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could be friends with you."

Bai Feng excitedly held Tong Yun's hand: "When he stops being a crown prince, he may become my friend. When do we set off? Now?"

"Yes, the sooner the better." Tong Yun bowed to Murong Yan and said, "Lady Saint, we need your guidance. Only you can find Mei Xinghe, the lover of my close friend Yuchi Zhen, the confidant of Prime Minister Mei Lin, and the leader of the Shadow Guards."

Murong Yan nodded and said, "There is no time to lose. I will leave a letter for you and then set off immediately."

Yu Ke immediately ground the ink and started drafting, and Murong Yan finished writing in a moment, leaving a letter to explain the whole story.

The next morning, Gao Yang found the tent empty. He walked closer to read the letter and laughed three times in the wind: "What a loving and righteous couple! What a happy couple to take revenge! Bai Mu's reputation is something I can only admire."

Gao Yang returned to the camp to rest for a while. He ordered his men to put away their bows and swords. Then he looked over the chess game from last night and pondered for a long time.

He understood that he didn't need to take any action in this battle, he just needed to be a good chess player.
