Chapter Seventy-Seven: Solving Problems and Saving Lives (4)
Liu Niangniang was startled, and when she looked down again, the roster in her hand was gone.
She shouted, "Stop! Immediately got off the carriage and looked around quickly, here the grass and trees are thick, surrounded by mountains, the road is tortuous, the hills and ravines are blocked, where there are Bai Hongyan and Xiaoyue figures.
At this time, Bai Hongyan had already run into the jungle and was running towards Fog City quickly, and Xiao Yue followed him closely behind.
So they ran for a day and a night, and along the way, they saw the corpses of the caravan everywhere.
Bai Hongyan was not only worried about his father, but when he saw that so many people had died in the horse gang of the Song Mansion, he was also faintly worried about Song Hongyue for a while, after all, this matter involved the Song Mansion, and he was even more anxious.
Although he was young and vigorous, he was only a mortal body after all, and he was already so tired that he couldn't breathe after running so continuously, and he stumbled under his feet and fell to the ground.
Seeing him tripping, Xiao Yue hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Childe, slow down." When he turned his head to look at him, he saw that he was panting, his eyes were red, his whole body was trembling, and he was so anxious that he could no longer speak.
Xiao Yue said softly: "Childe, don't worry, take a rest first, after all, this place is still far from Fog City." Master Bai will definitely be fine. ”
Bai Hongyan gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of bond did those people in the Ma Gang have with Niangniang?" ”
Xiaoyue said: "These bandits stopped Niangniang's car, how can they live?" ”
Bai Hongyan couldn't help but sigh and said, "Maybe these bandits didn't know that Niangniang was coming. The affairs of the world can't escape a single word, how can Niang Niang kill innocents so in vain? ”
Xiao Yue shook her head slightly and said, "Childe, this Liu Niangniang is definitely not a good type. ”
She hesitated slightly, then suddenly took out a scroll from her bosom, handed it to him, and said, "These people should all be for this roster." ”
Bai Hongyan was startled, turned his head to look at Xiao Yue and said, "This is the roster that my father gave to my mother, why is it in your hands?" ”
Xiao Yue said solemnly: "I stole it from Liu Niangniang." Childe, in this current situation, none of us should believe it! Since they all want this thing, it is safest to hold it in our own hands! ”
Bai Hongyan looked at Xiao Yue in a daze, noncommittal, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and said, "What did my father write on it?" ”
He opened the scroll, and the two of them looked down at each other, and saw that there were strings of names written on the scroll, and behind each name, there was a detailed record of how much money this person had bribed and what violations of discipline he had committed in a certain year and month.
Bai Hongyan flipped through the pages one by one, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, among these names, some of them were famous Confucians, and he had read these people's articles, and his pen was full of words about the governance of the Great Dao, and all he did was rats, dogs, stealing, and oppressing the people.
He flipped through the booklet from beginning to end, and there were more than 1,000 people recorded in it.
In this moment, a voice in his heart said, "This is a brutal power struggle. ”
Although he is young and has no experience in the world, he has read history books since he was a child, and he is still familiar with the stories of princes and princes of previous dynasties vying for power and profit.
Bai Hongyan fell into a state of confusion and said: "I really never thought that these people turned out to be sanctimonious, full of benevolence and morality, and full of rats and dogs!" In a blink of an eye, he thought of his father, and his heart was even more shocked: "I didn't expect that my father was idle at home and was still planning the affairs of the court, but he was not for the people of the world, but for the power struggle of the court......
Thinking of this, he didn't want to think about it anymore, he just felt terrible.
He stood up and said sullenly, "Sister, let's continue on our way." ”
Xiao Yue thought for a while, her heart moved, and said, "Childe, let's hide this booklet in one place." ”
Bai Hongyan was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, if he was accidentally intercepted by these bandits after going back, then this roster would inevitably fall into their hands, and the girl was thoughtful.
He admired Xiao Yue, at such a critical moment, his expression was already flustered, but Xiao Yue, a little girl, was still thoughtful.
He nodded and said, "Sister is thoughtful. As he spoke, he looked up and saw that in the place where they were, several large elm trees were covering each other, and under the trees was an arched vine gate.
Bai Hongyan hurriedly walked forward, bowed into the tree hole, stepped in, and put the scroll inside.
He came out and said, "Sister, if this wilderness is buried there, or somewhere, the roster will inevitably be taken away by wild beasts, but it is very safe to hide it here." The gang would never have imagined that the roster was hidden in this tree hole. ”
Satsuki nodded, thought for a moment, picked up another small stone, and carved a moon-shaped symbol on the hollow of the tree so that she could recognize it.
Bai Hongyan said: "Sister, let's continue on our way." ”
Xiao Yue hesitated in her heart, right now there is a lot of danger on the side of Master Bai, here is more than a hundred miles away from Fog City, if you immediately cast a spell and fly away with Bai Gongzi, you will arrive in a short time. But if this is the case, his identity as a vixen will be exposed.
Just as she was in a hurry, suddenly the smell of a thousand-year-old python wafted not far ahead.
Xiao Yue was slightly frightened, already knowing that the golden snake was searching for their traces not far away. She thought to herself: "Brother Liu and I are actually innocent, that time, he would rather give up his thousand-year-old cultivation for me, which is enough to prove that he has affection for me, and I really don't want to be his enemy." ”
Her mind moved, and she could only use the Nine-Tails Illusion to charm Bai Gongzi and leave here quickly.
I saw nine white tails quietly stretched out behind her, and suddenly, a burst of smoke filled the surroundings, Bai Hongyan had not yet reacted, only to smell a fragrance in his nose, sweet and silky, and then his mind was blank, and he fainted when he turned over.
Xiao Yue immediately picked up the unconscious Bai Hongyan, put her feet a little, and flew towards Fog City.
Before you know it, it was already dark, and there were caravans with torches everywhere, and groups of people surrounded the gates of Fog City, and the entire city was blocked.
Xiao Yue took Bai Hongyan to the city quietly, she looked inside, and saw a group of people surrounding Baifu.
The major events from childhood to old age, coming and going in his mind, suddenly with tears and a smile on the corner of his mouth, this fire in his heart is more fierce than any vicious battle in his life.
Bow into the door of the kiln, step in, a wave of heat rushed to the face, and then someone shouted, "Who is it? ”
Bai Hongyan said: "The valley master has an order to pick up the prisoner." ”
