Chapter 219: Kong Hai Returns to the City Too Late
After Kong Hai finished speaking, he continued on his way.
Shen Linfeng did not affirm, nor did he veto. He believed that anyone who listened to him would list Liu Qingfeng as the object of suspicion, including himself, of course.
It's just that Shen Linfeng never understood one thing, that is, why did Liu Qingfeng do this?
Before they knew it, the two of them had quickly reached the peak.
"Hoo ......"
Shen Linfeng and Kong Hai passed through a thick layer of clouds, and everywhere they looked was a white expanse, and the howling cold wind "whirred" in their ears, blowing on people's faces as if they had been pierced by steel needles.
The sky was already shining with light, and Kong Hai quickened his pace.
"We'll have to hurry, and in a few moments the soldiers of the Heavenly Cold Hall will be out on patrol. ”
Shen Linfeng panted and pressed his trembling legs, and he crawled forward with difficulty on the steps.
After walking for another half hour, the stairs finally came to an end. Instead of a wide platform, which was empty, the two men walked straight ahead, and then stepped up a stone staircase again.
"Be careful, there is the gate of Yufeng City in front of you!"
"Hmm!" Shen Linfeng nodded in agreement.
When I climbed the stone steps, my eyes suddenly opened up. I saw that there was a snow-white gatehouse of more than 100 zhang in front of them. From afar, Shen Linfeng can see the exquisite carved patterns on it.
Not half an inch of frost formed on the gatehouse, only a thin layer of floating snow fell on the top. Under the gatehouse, an old man was constantly cleaning the snow on the ground.
Kong Hai glanced left and right, and seeing that there were no soldiers in the Tianhan Palace, he hurriedly got up and walked towards the old man downstairs.
"Grandpa Sun!"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then raised his head. When he saw Kong Hai's appearance clearly, he immediately showed a surprised expression.
"Xiaohai?"
"It's me, Grandpa Sun!"
The old man glanced left and right, he threw the broom aside, and then pulled Kong Hai to hide behind the doorpost.
"Where have you been these months, you kid?" do you know......" The old man choked up in the middle of his words.
He let out a long sigh and continued, "You know that Ba Ye ......"
"I know!" Kong Hai replied first.
The old man nodded.
"Baye's ambition is huge, he has been dormant in secret for so many years, and now he has finally ascended to the position of the peak master. I'm afraid that this Jade Peak City will no longer be able to satisfy his ambitions. ”
"I heard that there is a group of people from the mountain in the city?" Kong Hai asked.
"That's right, these people are in the city all day long. The people of the city dare to be angry but dare not speak, so someone has to stand up and administer justice for us!"
After the old man finished speaking, he glanced at Kong Hai, and then he showed a smile of relief.
"Well, now that you're back, I'm relieved!" With that, the old man turned around and continued to sweep up the snow.
Kong Hai watched the old man's back gradually fade away, and then he dragged Shen Linfeng through the gatehouse and walked towards the city.
The two shuttled back and forth in the alleys of the city, and when the sky was bright, Shen Linfeng saw the pavilion on the roof of Meixue Pavilion.
Kong Hai directly pushed the door open.
"Xiao Yu ......," he called softly in the courtyard.
"Wait!" Shen Linfeng pulled Kong Hai back.
"Something is wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
Shen Linfeng pointed to the ground, and saw a few drops of blood on the snow-white ground.
Kong Hai's face changed, and he hurriedly kicked the wooden door open. I saw that the small house was in a mess, and a row of blood stains on the ground extended directly to the inner room.
"Xiaoyu!" Kong Hai shouted anxiously.
The door of the inner room was opened, and as outside, clothes and bedding were scattered all over the floor. In addition, Red Flame lay motionless on the side of the bed, and a pool of blood flowed from under him.
"We're late!" Shen Linfeng looked frustrated.
"They must be looking for the Jade Snow Sword!" Kong Hai replied as he bandaged Red Flame's wounds.
"So what do we do next?"
Kong Hai stood up and said, "You stay here, I'll go find Uncle Wang!"
"Who is Uncle Wang?"
Kong Hai picked up an eye-covering mask from the ground and said, "His name is Wang Sheng, and he is my father's assistant!" After speaking, he pushed the door and walked out.
Kong Hai changed into a new outfit, and his whole outfit was exactly the same as that of the residents of the city. He walked briskly down the main street of the city, and the sky was completely bright, and the inhabitants of the city had opened their doors. The shops are also open, and Xiao Er, a restaurant, is slaughtering a snowcock on the side of the street, which is a specialty of Yufeng City and the main food of the city's residents.
Kong Hai looked at everything around him, and there was no change in the slightest! People were still wandering around idlely, eating and waiting for death as usual all day long. Waiting for the Tianhan Hall to distribute ingredients for everyone, and distribute the northern cold bees to resist the cold. This may be their only hope of survival.
Sometimes, he had the same idea as Ba. It is to move the residents of the city down the mountain, so that everyone has their own things to do, instead of waiting for the alms of the peak lord all day long. Although the ideas are the same, the purpose is different, Ba also roams the rivers and lakes, while Kong Hai only wants to let the people of the city have their own things to do, rather than relying only on the Tianhan Hall and the high peak master.
However, he never mentioned this idea to his father. Because he knew that in his father's mind, this was a great rebellion, and this was an ancestor who betrayed the fox clan for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Kong Hai sighed and shook his head, and then he turned into an alley, and then disappeared without a trace.
"Tuk, tuk, tuk......"
"Who?"
No one responded outside the door!
"Ahem, ahem......" There was a strong coughing sound from inside the courtyard.
"Squeak!" the wooden door opened, revealing a middle-aged man who looked out of the door in amazement.
The young man outside the door looked at him with the same look of surprise.
"Kong Hai!" the middle-aged man shouted and directly hugged him in his arms.
"Uncle Wang, why are you ......" Kong Hai stared at the middle-aged man's white hair, he was only in his fifties, Kong Hai was still black when he went down the mountain, but now he was snow-white from beginning to end.
"Kid, come in......" Wang Sheng stretched out his head to look out, and then locked the door firmly.
"Why did you come back suddenly?" Wang Sheng poured a bowl of hot water for Kong Hai.
"I can't rest assured, so I ......"
"Alas...... It's too late to say anything!"
"Uncle Wang, do you know where Xiaoyu is being held?"
"What? Xiaoyu was caught?"
"Hmm!"
"Damn, this Ba is really getting more and more bold! Xiaohai, I really don't know this. However, I can ask my former cronies to check it out. When I have news, I'll tell you personally!"
"Well, thank you Uncle Wang!"
"You're here to ask about it?"
"And!" Kong Hai's face showed a hint of coldness.
"How did my dad die!"
