Chapter 22 - The Secret Envoy of the Demon Spirit
"How's the action tonight?" Feng Baiyi saw from the gap in the grass that the three guards guarding the gate of the east gate of the gate yawned and went back to rest, Feng Baiyi pulled Xia Qing to stand up from the grass, Feng Baiyi asked Xia Qingdao beside him softly.
Xia Qing showed an extremely well-behaved look on his face, in Feng Baiyi he looked like the rabbit that the two of them liked to raise the most when they were children, not only well-behaved, but also showed strong dependence. Although there have been many conflicts between the two of them, this cannot affect the fiery love between them.
Feng Baiyi gently supported Xia Qing, who had been squatting all night, and the two of them slowly left Donglinguan, wanting to find a place to spend some time first. If he entered Donglinguan again, Feng Baiyi was worried that he would be recognized by He Yu's family, and it would not be good.
So, the two of them chose to leave for the time being, waiting until nightfall to implement the rescue plan. Since there are not too many people between Donglinguan and Ruocheng, it still seems a little desolate. Xia Qing was very familiar with the environment here, but Feng Baiyi had basically forgotten it. So along the way, it was basically Xia Qing who pointed to Feng Baiyi and walked together. The two men helped each other to the only restaurant on the side of the road.
"Subway?" Feng Baiyi looked at the restaurant in front of him, his eyes looked very surprised, he didn't understand why there was such a luxurious restaurant on such a desolate road, and there were even two shopkeepers wearing gorgeous silk robes standing at the door of this restaurant to welcome guests.
Xia Qing looked at Feng Baiyi in surprise, she was very surprised by Feng Baiyi's reaction. On the contrary, she said very naturally: "What's the matter, have you forgotten? This restaurant was often brought to us by our master when we were children, and the food here is also very unique." You won't forget it like that, will you?" Xia Qing's voice had a slight hint of complaint.
"Ah, why don't I have any memories of this place?" Feng Baiyi was surprised, he couldn't believe that he had basically forgotten all the memories of his childhood. Feng Baiyi secretly lined up, could it be that except for his favorite junior sister, other things seem to have been forgotten?
Thinking about it, Feng Baiyi's head hurt unconsciously, and he quickly reached out and rubbed it, so that he would no longer remember those past events. Xia Qing gently grabbed his right hand, and Feng Baiyi didn't think too much about it. The two walked into this "Subway" restaurant hand in hand.
As soon as he walked to the door, the two shopkeepers in silk robes who had welcomed the guests in the middle of the passage immediately greeted them. He bowed respectfully and said, "Sister Qing, what are you bringing here?"
"My brother. Xia Qing replied lightly, without any concern for the title of the shopkeeper, but Feng Baiyi's gaze became slightly cold.
"Eh, okay, you two here, please. The two shopkeepers still knew each other very well when they saw Feng Baiyi's cold eyes, and they couldn't help but shudder. Hurriedly get out of the way to both sides and welcome Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing into the main hall of "Subway".
As soon as Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi walked into the main hall, they saw a shopkeeper wearing a gold-colored cloth hat and a golden satin silk robe had already come out, this shopkeeper was about forty years old, and he was overjoyed when he saw Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi. said excitedly: "Qing'er, Yi'er, I haven't seen you for a long time." Why, do you have time to sit with me today?"
Xia Qing bowed slightly, "Hello uncle, we have some things to solve in Donglinguan, but now the situation is dangerous." We have to come to you to hide first, and I hope that my uncle won't arrest us and send us to Donglinguan!"
"Qing'er, what are you talking about, how could the uncle betray the two of you? However, what did you do to provoke Donglinguan?" The kind-looking middle-aged man in front of him was obviously very familiar with Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, and he spoke more casually. It's just that Feng Baiyi didn't quite remember the impression of this uncle in his memory. So he closed his mouth and didn't speak, just quietly listened to the conversation between Xia Qing and this uncle.
"Uncle, please take a seat, we can talk slowly. Xia Qing stretched out his right hand and motioned for the middle-aged man in front of him to sit down, and the middle-aged man didn't say much. Just instructed the shopkeeper to make three pots of good tea, and dismissed all the guests and the shopkeeper. Concentrate on talking to Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi.
Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi sat down side by side opposite him, and Xia Qing answered the question originally raised by the middle-aged man, "Uncle, don't hide it. The two of us probably learned about the culprit who framed our master by some accident, and at that time, my brother and I were forced to separate. When I escaped from the clutches and came back here, I happened to hear about the grand event of the Gangnam Martial Arts Tournament. But when I rushed over, I happened to see the situation where my brother was almost killed by the culprit's sneak attack, and when I rescued him back to the bamboo forest, he told me the ins and outs of the matter. Only then did we rush to Yunsheng Juxian Tower again. But who knows, this time the Jiangnan martial arts tournament was rampant, we really couldn't stand it and stopped it, but we were driven out by the inner guards, and by mistake, we came to you. ”
The middle-aged man in front of him took a sip of the tea in his hand, and he was still unhurried when he listened to Xia Qing's words. "In that case, did you come to me just to kill time temporarily, don't you want to know the cause of your master's rumored death?" The middle-aged man's gaze was a little wandering, and his voice was very indifferent.
Xia Qing's face changed slightly, and Feng Baiyi's face also showed a look of surprise. "You mean, what happened to our master?" Feng Baiyi's voice trembled slightly, if there were two people in this world who could make him care, one of them would be his and Xia Qing's deceased master. So as soon as he heard the person in front of him who Xia Qing called "uncle" say this, Feng Baiyi hurriedly asked.
"Don't be so anxious, you may remember the woman who was with your master back then?" The middle-aged man in front of him still said unhurriedly, but his kind appearance made Feng Baiyi vaguely remember the appearance of his master who had been dead for many years.
Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi lowered their heads and thought for a while, and then reacted, and the two of them shouted out a name almost at the same time, "Could it be Xiao Tingzhi?"
The middle-aged man looked up at the sky outside, "You just need to find her, and maybe you'll be able to find the answer." In fact, I don't know the inside story of this matter very well, but I believe that if you must look for it, Xiao Tingzhi may be a breakthrough. Well, it's not too early, and you might have to leave early if you want to save that little girl. ”
Feng Baiyi's face changed slightly, and before he could react, Xia Qing's soft hand took the initiative to grab his hand, and the two of them bowed down and left this "Subway" and embarked on the road to quietly return to Donglinguan.
"Senior sister, don't you think our uncle is a little strange, why would he know that we were going to save Jiang Yuexue?" Feng Baiyi felt very strange, thinking of these things, his head hurt unconsciously again.
Xia Qing slapped his right hand lightly, and said coquettishly, "Have you really forgotten? Back then, when our master and this uncle married Jin Lan, the two of them joined forces to found the most mysterious exploration organization on the Demon Spirit Continent today, the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy. When our master passed away, he entrusted the Demon Spirit Secret Envoy to the Master, so now the entire Demon Spirit Secret Envoy is in the hands of my uncle, and the number of Demon Spirit Secret Envoys has as many as 10,000 people on the Demon Spirit Continent, and these 10,000 people have undergone precise and arduous training, and each of them is an experienced secret envoy with a hundred battles. These envoys lurk in various places to listen to information. If even my uncle can't know something on the Demon Spirit Continent, then no one will be able to know about it. ”
"Demon Spirit Secret Envoy, why don't I have any impression at all?" Feng Baiyi tried his best to recall in his mind, but he couldn't remember the past.
Xia Qing walked up to Feng Baiyi's side and stretched out his arms to gently wrap his arms around Feng Baiyi's back. The voice was extremely gentle and whispered: "Senior brother, don't think about it if you can't think about it, when we rescue Jiang Yuexue, we will go back to the bamboo forest and live a dull life for the rest of our lives." Find the real murderer who framed our master, okay?"
Feng Baiyi also stretched out his hands to caress Xia Qing's back, he lowered his head and looked at Xia Qing's pretty face, Feng Baiyi's heart softened a lot at once, he didn't want to get involved in all kinds of power struggles in the world, and it was also his yearning to return to the bamboo forest to live a dull life. So he nodded solemnly and comforted softly: "Senior sister, don't worry, I also yearn for this kind of life." However, let's go and rescue Jiang Yuexue first. ”
"Okay!" Xia Qing was as gentle as water, the two of them gently separated, holding hands and quietly walking towards Donglinguan.
"Cher, it's a pity, you're going to die tomorrow. In fact, if you can get lost, I can spare your life, and maybe we can work together to create the Bright Moon Heavenly Kingdom. The sky was gradually dyed red by the afterglow of the setting sun, and on the tower of the eastern gate, more than a dozen guards surrounded a general in gold armor, who was talking to Jiang Yuexue who was tied to the flagpole as a victor.
Jiang Yuexue's face didn't have any expression, but was a little lifeless. Her voice was very plain, "Uncle He Yu, whom I know, has been a person who can give everything for the Ming clan since he was a child, a person who loves me the most except my parents, not a brother who betrayed himself to be born and died with him for his own selfish desires, tomorrow I die, I will also become a ghost haunting you! Let you die well!" He Yu originally came to laugh at Jiang Yuexue, a loser, and by the way, to see if there is still a chance to unite her forces. I didn't want to, but I was scolded by her. He Yu's face turned pale, he waved his sleeves angrily and left the city tower, and Jiang Yuexue still chased after his departing figure and spat heavily.
"You can be proud now, and you won't be able to laugh until tomorrow. He Yu's voice reached everyone's ears, but the expression on Jiang Yuexue's face did not change at all, and her face was still very flat.
The setting sun stained half of the sky red, and the light of the setting sun reflected the trees above the east border to show a faint slanting glow. By the time Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi walked unhurriedly outside the East Linguan, the sky had become faintly dark.
Guarding the East Pass were still three heavily armed guards, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing squatted in the bushes where they had been lurking again. Through the gaps in the grass, he continued to observe the adjustment and changes of the soldiers above and below the Donglinguan Tower, wanting to find a city tower where the soldiers on the tower were the least to rescue Jiang Yuexue.
"Maybe we'll have to watch for a long time, you look at the soldiers in the city now. It seems to be more than yesterday!" Feng Baiyi frowned and looked at the large number of soldiers patrolling back and forth on the city tower, he looked puzzled.
Xia Qing nodded, she also felt that there seemed to be more soldiers guarding the city tower today, compared to yesterday, the equipment of these soldiers seemed to be more complete, and the weapons were sharper. A thought suddenly appeared in Xia Qing's heart: Because Jiang Yuexue will be executed tomorrow, so today He Yu specially sent his personal guards to guard in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong?
Xia Qing told Feng Baiyi about his sudden flashing thought, and Feng Baiyi's brows furrowed even tighter. "Then tonight may not be a good opportunity, could it be that we are going to rob the Dharma field tomorrow?" he still felt that it would be better to be more stable.
