Wen Qingxiu was originally a scholar, he couldn't lift his hands and shoulders, but fortunately he entered the barracks, and he experienced tempering on the most remote southwest border of Dongliang Kingdom, and he could be regarded as having a good body. The ability to ride a horse was also practiced at that time.

He rode on his horse, whipped his horse, and galloped so fast that he could not see the dodging pedestrians and vehicles on the side of the road, and could only feel the cold wind brushing his cheeks in his ears, and the occasional trampling of the horse's hooves on the flying stones and jumping on his face, beating his face painfully.

He didn't dare to stop, he didn't dare to slow, he had only one thought, save people - save people - save Bai Shuai -

He knew that Yin Zuoxiang, who had received the decree of the Son of Heaven, was also hurrying non-stop, and the surnamed Yin also wanted to rush to Qingzhou Mansion immediately, only by taking down the entire Bai family in one fell swoop, his heart could be stable, and if he was a little sluggish, who knew if His Majesty would change there again, after all, there were many dreams at night!

Out of Kyoto, go to Qingzhou, pass the Qingzhou Mansion and do not enter, take a detour, inquire while rushing to the road, and finally see the Bai Family Mansion located in Qingzhou Mansion 100 miles away.

Wen Qingxiu looked at the place hidden in the depths of the trees, couldn't help but tighten the reins of the horse, raised his head and sighed: "Thank God, it can be regarded as coming, the sky has eyes, and the immortal white handsome - I, Wen Qingxiu, a little soldier, I can't imagine that I can do such a big thing today, will I leave a heavy mark in the history of Dongliangqing in the future?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt his body sinking, and the horse under his crotch seemed to have been hit hard, and his body trembled violently a few times, and then he fell to the ground with a bang, falling headlong, and slamming the defenseless Wen Qingxiu to the ground.

Wen Qingxiu hurriedly got up, touched the sore buttocks, and checked the horses, which spewed out a large stream of white foam between the horse's mouth and nose, and actually had a stalk in the neck, and died like this.

He's dead?

Wen Qingxiu couldn't help but look up into the distance, and suddenly wanted to cry, just now I was glad that I was about to reach my destination, that was in the case of riding a horse, now that the horse is dead, relying on him to walk, wouldn't it be three or five times slower?

"Brother Ma, Brother Ma-you are tired to death, if there is really a day in the future, I Wen Qingxiu will definitely ask the historian to write your brother into it-" He didn't dare to stay, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the horse three times, shed tears and threw down the dead horse, spread his legs and ran forward on foot.

Looking at the mountain on the flat ground and running a dead horse, Wen Qingxiu ran for half a day at a glance, and at sunset, Wen Qingxiu finally ran to the gate of the Bai family.

He didn't care about finding someone to report, so he rushed forward and rushed into the side door.

"Who, who, what are you doing on a rampage?" the guards cheered and rushed over to watch. Since the first two Qin missions have come one after another, especially when Liu Juma led people to break into the gate, the vigilance at the door of Bai's house has been strengthened.

Wen Qingxiu raised his hand and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Help--find Bai Shuai-help-" After speaking, he fell headlong, exhausted, and fainted. A sturdy war horse was exhausted along the way, and then he ran dozens of miles on foot, which was really exhausting to the limit.

"Where did the nameless boy come from, begging for food or fleeing, and he kept saying that he wanted to see Bai Shuai!"

"Passed out!"

"It's better to report and call inside, and see how to deal with it. ”

Someone went inside to report.

It happened that Bai Feng was walking in the small courtyard after dinner, and when he heard this, he came to check it out in person.

When he saw that this person was dressed in clothes, it didn't look like anything at first glance, but when he looked closely, it was the uniform of the camp in Beijing. He crouched down to take a closer look, and quickly concluded that the man was not sick, but had passed out for the time being.

"Quick, carry it in, get hot water—boil some porridge—"

Wen Qingxiu was carried directly into Bai Feng's bedroom.

Lao Yun hurriedly stopped in a low voice: "Master, although he is wearing the clothes of the camp in Beijing, but now in extraordinary times, the fish and dragons are mixed, this person's identity is unknown, it is better to be cautious." ”

Bai Feng waved his hand, "I have a hunch that this person is not an enemy, but a friend." Moreover, to be so tired that he passed out, it can be seen that he has gone through a long journey, if it weren't for the 100,000 urgent things and the great concern for others, who would have run for his life like this?"

Lao Yun pondered for a while, personally took a hot towel to wipe the face and hands of this uninvited guest, and then slowly moistened his lips with warm water and fed water.

Wen Qingxiu drank a few sips of water, suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes instantly brightened, and she looked at the old man in front of her, who was thin and thin, and dressed as a servant.

Wen Qingxiu was surprised in her heart, where is this, is it Bai Feng in front of her? Bai Feng is such an inconspicuous appearance?

"Wake up?" asked a clear voice next to him.

Wen Qingxiu moved her eyes and saw a tall old man, this old man had a delicate face, a wide forehead and sword eyebrows, a beard under his chin, and a pale white coarse cloth clothes, looking at himself with blazing eyes.

Bai Shuai!

Wen Qingxiu rolled over her body, and couldn't wait to put the old man in front of her into her eyes, "Are you Bai Shuai?"

This is the Bai Shuai he has heard about countless times, and it has also deeply affected the future of him, a nobody!

Although he enlisted in the army later, because his family was poor and couldn't afford to give gifts to the official master, he was incorporated into the Jiazi soldier camp, and then suffered a series of unfair treatment suffered by the Jiazi soldiers. When he was holding the outpost to defend against foreign enemies, when he was rushing to Kyoto from the border to report the news of the war, and when he was staying up every day in the camp in Beijing, he kept hearing countless voices talking about Bai Shuai, and in the memory of Bai Shuai, people only cared about enjoying life in peacetime, and once the war broke out, people woke up from a big dream and remembered the general who had brought peace to the whole world like the god of war.

Bai Feng stepped forward, held Wen Qingxiu's shoulders with both hands, and said in a gentle voice: "Let's lie down first, drink some hot porridge, no matter how urgent the matter is, it's not too late to rest first." ”

This voice, how to say it, is gentle, but it is majestic, his face seems to be kind, but between the heroic eyebrows, a look of non-anger and self-authority is naturally revealed.

Wen Qingxiu believes that this is Bai Shuai, who else in the world can have such a charm except Bai Shuai!

Wen Qingxiu suddenly felt a sense of grievance in his heart, the countless unfair treatment he had suffered since he joined the army, as well as the worries, fright, fatigue and so on that he had secretly escaped along the way, and his mind hit his heart, and he had the feeling that a child had finally seen his mother.

The rice porridge came, and Bai Shuai actually fed him personally.

Wen Qingxiu was a little shy, opened her mouth to take a sip, then swallowed a little shyly, and got up, "It's better for me to come by myself - how can I work you old-"

"Hey-" Bai Feng pressed Wen Qingxiu back on the pillow, "You are a patient now, the patient has to be obedient, come, drink the porridge first." ”

The tone is unquestionable, but Wen Qingxiu has a warm current in his heart, he gulps down the porridge, and at the same time, his eyes are sour, and he has an urge to cry.

"You're from Kyoto, right?" Bai Feng suddenly asked.

"However, you are not a soldier of the Jingzhong battalion. ”

This time it was Wen Qingxiu's turn to be surprised, "How do you know?"

Bai Feng and Lao Yun looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

smiled inexplicably.

Lao Yun took a little soft steamed bun and fed it into Wen Qingxiu's mouth, "If you don't have this observation ability, how can you be a powerful white handsome!"

Bai Feng smiled: "You seem to have been a soldier on the western border? and ...... Sentinel, right?"

Wen Qingxiu really didn't want to admire the old man in front of her. Nodding: "You're right. But where did you know that? It's the first time we've met—I haven't said anything. ”

Bai Feng's eyes were blazing, "I still know what you're doing here." Is there a catastrophe coming?"

Wen Qingxiu stopped drinking porridge, and raised his voice: "Yes, yes, the emperor has issued an order to behead you all over the house, Yin Zuoxiang personally led the troops, and Brother Li Dunian was forced to take the carefully selected warriors in the camp in Beijing on the way to come." I stole a horse and came to report it myself. ”

Bai Feng and Lao Yun looked at each other again.

After a long time, Bai Feng raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, "No wonder my eyelids have jumped so hard these days, is it a blessing or a curse, I really can't hide from it-it's just that it's a little fast." ”

Wen Qingxiu looked at the pair of old men in front of him, he was very surprised, but he had to admire their composure. It's all at this time, and I rushed to deliver a big news, and I didn't expect people to look calm and relaxed, as if they had expected it a long time ago.

Wen Qingxiu felt that he still needed to supplement the situation he had mastered, so he stammered and said: "This time it's true, Your Majesty is really angry! You don't know, originally Brother Li Dunian told me that everyone was expecting that His Majesty would send someone to Qingzhou for the third time to invite Bai Shuai out of the mountain, and it was someone who was going to be sent." Their analysis has a nose and eyes, it is very reasonable, even I have to believe it, at this time, I suddenly received the bad news that Li Dunian's eldest brother led his troops to Qingzhou Mansion to behead the Bai family! Also, there is also news that the five princes in the palace met an assassin, were stabbed, and their lives were on the verge of death, but according to everyone's behind, it was said that the five princes were assassinated by the six princes, and the younger brother killed his brother in order to compete for a piece of nephrite jade carved paperweight. Also, Yuan Youxiang suffered a stroke and fell, at this time, a person with a bag of nephrite appeared at the door of Yuan Youxiang's mansion, and was caught by the people of the government, and the person confessed that it was you Bai Shuai who sent a gift to Yuan Youxiang, and he committed suicide after saying that. These things are really going on in waves, and they are spreading like the wind in Kyoto. ”

Lao Yun and Bai Feng looked at each other for a long time, distracted.

Wen Qingxiu told all the rumors he had heard in Kyoto these days.

After speaking, he let out a sigh of relief, and now his heart can be put down, and the mission of his trip is completed.

Bai Feng's eyebrows trembled: "Power struggle, this is the power struggle! The mud pit is like a pit, as long as you get a little bit of edge, it will be difficult to stay out of the matter and be alone." If you want to survive, you have to jump headlong into it and become as dirty, rotten, and disgusting as them!"

Lao Yun nodded: "If you could have figured these things out in the early years, we wouldn't be so passive and helpless today." ”

Bai Feng's sword eyebrows were upside down, and he shook his head: "No, even if it is another hundred years, what I insist on will not change! The nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, my surname is Bai, my life is bright and upright, and I have a clear conscience, how can I change my nature in order to survive and steal my life!"

Wen Qingxiu listened to the excitement of blood, and couldn't help but become more and more awe of the old man in front of her. No wonder the world is praising the reputation of General Bai Shuai and Old Bai, it turns out that he is really so admirable.

A bowl of hot porridge went down, Wen Qingxiu regained her strength, couldn't lie down anymore, got up and put on her shoes and went to the ground.

Lao Yun had already brought a big bowl of stewed bird's nest porridge, "Come, eat some more." ”

Wen Qingxiu was not polite and ate in a big gulp.

Bai Feng used to sit at the table, there was a ready-made chessboard on the table, he picked up a white piece in his hand, and looked at Wen Qingxiu: "Young man, can you play chess?"

Wen Qingxiu smiled: "I like to play chess the most." ”

"Okay, let's have a game. I'm worried that I can't find an opponent. Bai Shuai happily invited.

Wen Qingxiu didn't shirk either, and sat down to really fight with Bai Feng.

Night fell, Lao Yun had a candle flame in his palm, once the game between Bai Feng and Wen Qingxiu, an old man and a young man, unfolded, it was difficult to stop, two people you come and go, after killing a game, come to another game, unconsciously, after the candle on the table is lit, Lao Yun quietly changes another one.

"Tell me more about the southwestern outpost. Bai Feng said.

Wen Qingxiu was not afraid, and Lang Lang kept talking. From his first days as a soldier, to his later days at the border post, to the invasion of Moro, he ran all the way to Kyoto to deliver letters, and finally arrived here.

"Qin Jian'er, it's getting more and more disagreeable!" Bai Feng interjected.

"Zhengxi, villain!" Bai Feng interjected again.

Wen Qingxiu said in a stirring mood, Bai Feng listened attentively, only Lao Yun had been waiting on the side, looking always quiet and calm.
