Chapter 35—The Secret of Eternity (Return)

Although Lu Deng's words were sincere, they evoked the deepest sadness in Feng Shanshan's heart, and she muttered to herself: "It's a pity, the world is impermanent, who would have expected that in the future, I would never choose to be alone after all."

"Return" Lu Deng silently muttered this word that made him feel deeply. Lu Deng really has a deep understanding of this, his family has not allowed him since he was a child, although he is the eldest son of the family, but he has suffered from indifference and even expulsion because of his status as a concubine. And today, the entire Lu family has been imprisoned and beheaded for the crime of joint rebellion, and Lu Pingjue's mansion, which was once huge and lived with more than 40 clansmen, is now only Lu Deng himself. Return and parting, sadness and regret, and even for their unpredictable future, the words "return" are indeed the best portrayal of Lu Deng and Feng Shanshan now.

Thinking of this, Feng Shanshan couldn't help but sigh deeply, and her expression couldn't help but be full of sadness. Now that she is wanted for her involvement in the killing of Chen Jie, she has become the primary target of Qi State now, and even tracking the three of them is now more important than the upcoming invasion of the Feudal Kingdom. The tens of thousands of troops of the feudal country are now not worth the three of them, which has caused the full anger of tens of thousands of people. For the people, the invasion of the feudal country is really not as important as finding out the real murderer who killed Chen Jie. After all, over the years, everything Chen Jie has done to Qi over the years has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In the face of strong popular pressure, the army of Qi guarding Jincheng to reinforce the south had to pass the news to Xuancheng, the capital of Qi. Although Li Dan, the prime minister of Qi who was in charge of the government, was a little shocked in his heart, he didn't quite believe that Feng Yuchong, who had a good relationship with Chen Jie, suddenly killed Chen Jie. It's just that due to the people's joint efforts to write a book, Li Dan had no choice but to approve the promulgation of the wanted warrant. Positioning Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan as the primary targets of Qi Guo now, of course, Li Dan still secretly sent the rest of the demon spirit envoys to Ruocheng to find out the truth of this matter, but now, Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan still haven't been able to settle their grievances for a while.

Feng Shanshan was originally very nervous, but now in Ruocheng, she unexpectedly met her old acquaintance Lu Deng. Feng Shanshan couldn't help but recall the young, ignorant martial arts idiot boy Lu Deng she met when she strayed into Lu Pingjue's mansion. But now, Feng Shanshan seems to see a trace of unusual expression on this still cute face, which seems to be resolute, and seems to have a faint sense of banter. made Feng Shanshan, who originally knew Lu Deng very well, a little incomprehensible.

However, Feng Shanshan herself is a very open-minded person, and Feng Shanshan's biggest feature is that she is a quirky, cheerful and picturesque girl. Although Feng Shanshan's ability and toughness in front of Lu Deng are as conspicuous as a strong woman, in fact, Lu Deng also understands that what Feng Shanshan shows in front of him is actually a kind of strong pretend, in fact, Feng Shanshan's personality is very easy to get along with, even Lu Deng, who was originally not quite on the same path as Feng Shanshan, now really feels that Feng Shanshan is really much better than the various people he has seen now. Although she seems to be rough and headstrong, and likes to advocate for others. But somehow, Lu Deng just felt that this kind of Feng Shanshan was really good, and he didn't even need to change anything. Even if it is misunderstood by others, or even becomes the target of public criticism, what is it?

Feng Shanshan, who was standing on the side, looked strangely at Lu Deng, who slowly opened a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she couldn't figure out what Lu Deng was thinking now, but this kind of joy of being able to meet her old acquaintance in the midst of difficulties made Feng Shanshan a little happy, she couldn't help but stretch out her right hand like lightning, grabbed the golden red spear behind Lu Deng, and walked forward quickly. Before Lu Deng could react, Feng Shanshan's crisp and pleasant laughter like a silver bell came into Lu Deng's ears. "Okay, let's go eat first, this gun looks good, it should be able to eat a meal when it is done."

Feng Shanshan's tone carried a hint of provocation. If someone else was replaced, he might be furious, but Lu Deng was already used to Feng Shanshan's brutality in front of him. Lu Deng even hoped in his heart that it would be a good thing for Feng Shanshan to maintain such a character and habits all the time. If Feng Shanshan also became a compassionate and frosty person, Lu Deng still felt that he couldn't accept this fact.

Thinking of this, Lu Deng's originally sad mood gradually became clearer, he hurriedly caught up with Feng Shanshan's pace, and the two walked side by side into a small wine shop that didn't seem to occupy a large area. On the old brown wooden board, with a red red pen is written in four small crooked characters: "Tong'an Wine Shop".

Although this small wine shop is in a remote area, it can only accommodate more than 20 people drinking at the same time. However, this Tong'an liquor shop has another unusual identity, that is, a stronghold of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy in Ruocheng. It is also the intelligence transfer station of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy in Ruocheng, and many news sent from the south of Qi and even the Feng State have to pass through the hands of this "Tong'an Wine Shop" before they can be transmitted to the northern cities of Qi and the capital Xuancheng. It can be said that this small liquor shop, which is not good-looking and very unobtrusive, is the place where the secret envoy of the demon spirit transmits the message. The shopkeeper and shopkeeper in this Tong'an wine shop, the proprietor are all members of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy.

Originally, Ruocheng was an important town in the south of Qi State, and this Tong'an wine shop was just passing on some inconsequential little things under Chen Jie's command. In major matters, Chen Jie will order his close demon spirit envoys to deliver this news. But now, the moment is different, Ruocheng fell into the hands of the Ming rebels, and Chen Jie accidentally spread the news that he died in the Ruocheng Governor's Mansion five days ago. The rebels of the Ming tribe once again announced the closure of the city gates, and placed a large army to defend each city gate closely. As a result, ordinary people could not leave Ruocheng. But their demon spirit envoys were still able to convey the news they felt important to Xuancheng, the capital of Qi, through goshawks or carrier pigeons. For example, the unexpected death of Governor Chen Jie a few days ago, and the news that the Ming rebel army went north to attack Jincheng. Although there is not much news, it has attracted the attention of Li Dan, the current ruler of Qi State. The army of Qi has now divided into two routes from Jincheng, and 20,000 elites have circled southward, heading straight for Ruocheng, which is now almost undefended.

The situation gradually became clear, and this Tong'an wine shop played a pivotal role in the action of the Ming uprising, but the proprietor of this wine shop was also the leader of the Ruocheng Demon Spirit's secret envoy. He didn't think it was enough, but he didn't see any good opportunities for a while. Just as he was frowning, they suddenly walked into the Tong'an wine shop, where they had been almost unattended, thinking that a middle-aged man and a woman of his age were about the same age. As soon as the two walked into the wine shop, they did not hide their identities, and directly showed the token of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy, proving that they were also members of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy. Although Kong Zhenxin, the proprietor of the wine shop, is a modest and obese figure, he has a smart expression on his face, and he looks like a small businessman. But in fact, Kong Zhenxin is very smart, and he has opened a glorious door for his career with the help of such an opportunity of the Ming uprising. It's just that now, Kong Zhenxin still lacks a better opportunity, which is also something he has been thinking about and meditating on for the past few days. The arrival of these two demonic envoys, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, allowed him to see through the fog clearly what he needed to do in the future and now.

Kong Zhenxin originally wanted to obtain better benefits and advantages by learning about the news of the Huicheng, which had now fallen into the hands of the feudal state, but now, the arrival of Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing made him see the situation clearly. Knowing what you should be doing right now is the best option.

Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing came to Ruocheng, more to find their three children, Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan, they resolutely did not believe that their children would kill Chen Jie, the governor of the southern part of Qi for no reason. They had come into Wakashi to find their three children. Their original intention was to use the power of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy in Ruocheng to indirectly find their children, and they wanted to ask what happened.

It's just that Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing never thought that the leader of the Ruocheng Demon Spirit Secret Envoy they met, Kong Zhenxin, would be such a person with good talent and keen vision. Kong Zhenxin barely went through Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing's reminders, and he already understood what he should do. Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing also showed a rare smile on their faces, this kind of smart person will be easy to deal with in the future. At this time, the shopkeeper walked into the private room where they were talking, and reported with a smile: "The proprietor, there are two guests who don't look very old, and they want the freshest Fenyu of the season, but now"

The shopkeeper's unspeakable hidden Kong Zhenxin also understood that this kind of Fenyu was originally one of the specialties of the summer city, and it was sold as a unique seafood to all parts of the Qi country. It's just that now, Huicheng has fallen into the hands of the feudal state, and they are no longer able to get this expensive Fenyu of the season from Huicheng, of course, the dish of braised Fenyu has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Kong Zhenxin can also understand the willingness of these two guests to taste this fresh fish. So, he stood up and bowed his hand to Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing with some embarrassment, "Junior brother, please wait for a while."

Feng Baiyi took Xia Qing's hand, smiled and said to Kong Zhenxin: "In this case, let's go with the proprietor to see the true faces of these two guests!"
