C38 (1/2)
Wei Qingfeng and Ren Boan rode out of the Full Moon City. Ren Boan raised his head to look, and saw that the snow that had fallen the night before had stopped, but the sky had always been hazy, and when he looked into the distance, he felt like a huge black cloud was shrouding over his path of return. He turned his head to look at the Young General, and saw Wei Qingfeng riding with his head lowered, as if he was thinking about something.
After Wei Qingfeng heard this, he raised his head, thought for a moment, and said: ”Let's return to the camp. If I'm not mistaken, Qian Er is probably already inside the Base Camp.”
Ren Boan was startled when he heard it, thinking, wasn't Miss Qian Er taken away by the people from the Broad Banner? How could he return to the Base Camp safely? However, ever since he had interacted with Wei Qingfeng, he had long since known that his Brother Wei had been unpredictable and calm. Thus, he had full confidence in him, and did not think too much about it.
After riding a few more steps forward, Ren Boan hesitated for a moment. He looked at Wei Qingfeng and asked softly: ”Just now, the young miss said that she is waiting for the Brother Wei at the main altar of the Xisu. Could she be … ”She's actually …?” After hesitating for a good while, Zhang Xuan was still unable to voice out his doubts.
Hearing his question, Wei Qingfeng knew that he was worried. It was just that this matter was never intended to be kept from him in the first place, so he continued, ”That's right, this Yun Er is the princess of the Xisu.”
When Ren Boan heard that the identity of the beautiful woman was exactly as he had expected, he became anxious and said, ”Brother Wei, could it be that you still don't know about the matters of the Xisu? Back then, Great General... In the past, Great General had fought against the Xisu several times, but he was precisely dealing with these Witch Church demon-level talents … ”
Wei Qingfeng didn't reply, and instead sighed: ”Brother Ren, I feel like this matter is getting more and more complicated. I have always been thinking, there is a piece of Purple Jade Talisman that I have been wearing on me since my father saved me in Dingzhou. Other than my parents and Qian Er, no one else knows about this, but now it seems as if everyone in the world knows about it. ”After thinking about it for a while, I'm afraid it's not that simple. There might be a lot of forces within and outside the country involved, but I still haven't figured it out yet.”
Hearing Wei Qingfeng's words, Ren Boan understood that this matter was extremely complicated. With his own intelligence, it was difficult to help Brother Wei, but he only thought that although he could not help Brother Wei, but could still protect him by his side. He only needed to put his life on the line to ensure the safety of Brother Wei. Thinking about it, Ren Boan stopped thinking about it, his heart was at ease, he raised his eyes to look, the two of them were already at the dark clouds on their way back.
This line took two hours. Seeing that the Base Camp was looking, Ren Boan was about to call out to the Brother Wei, when suddenly, he heard a ding sound, and the sound of the zither resonated outwards. The sky was dark, and it was hard to tell what hour it was, the ground was covered with snow, and not far away from them, the smoke of the Base Camp was burning.
Suddenly, the zither music changed again, gradually becoming lighter and calmer, gradually becoming continuous. It was like a lover wiping the wounds of a returning warrior, gentle and gentle, turning back a hundred times.
Ren Boan was attracted by the zither music, he focused on finding the source of the zither music, and just happened to notice a carriage slowly traveling alone not far from the Base Camp, the sound of the zither came from there. Ren Boan turned his head to look at him, and under the curtain of darkness, he could vaguely make out that his eyes were shining with light, he looked straight at the carriage, and with a ”Jia” sound, he whipped his horse and ran towards the carriage.
Along the way, Wei Qingfeng gradually remembered that after he had garrisoned his troops outside the Full Moon City, different people and things had all surfaced. He vaguely felt that this matter was not that simple, but he could not think of a way, and after thinking about it, he suddenly heard the zither music. As the zither music passed, Wei Qingfeng became more alarmed, he became absentminded, and thought about the battle before the departure, the Emperor had said to him: ”Little brother, we have a saccule here, when you go to the encampment, if you hear the zither music from just now, you can secretly activate this saccule. ”Remember!”
The sound of the zither right now was exactly the same as the sound he had heard at the bell tower in the palace. It was indeed late in the night, but the hour was not necessarily night. Wei Qingfeng was bewildered, riding on his horse and quickly chasing after the carriage.
The two of them chased for a while until they arrived near the horse carriage. Seeing that it was a small horse carriage, it was not luxurious at all, in front, there was a Coachman dressed in black at the helm, and in the rear, there was a carriage, the sound of the zither had become so low that it could almost be heard. Wei Qingfeng was extremely anxious to see the person inside the horse carriage, without any hesitation, he immediately rushed towards the carriage.
When the Coachman saw two people riding towards him, he thought that they might have met a horse thief who was blocking their way. He stood up and stopped the carriage, and shouted: ”What are you doing?” Seeing that the two of them still did not stop, he raised the horsewhip and whooshed towards them.
Wei Qingfeng saw that the whip had come, and was not in a rush, he tilted his head and dodged it, and with two steps, he arrived in front of the horse carriage. Only then did Coachman could see that the man was brave and big, he sat on the horse with an imposing air, his legs trembled, and he kneeled on the horse carriage and said: ”Elder, spare me, please spare me, I am only a carriage driver, I do not have much money on me.” He kept kowtowing.
Wei Qingfeng stopped his horse and jumped onto the carriage with a shout. He said ”Sorry” lightly and thought for a moment, then opened the horse carriage's curtain to look inside, to see a girl dressed in black sitting inside. Her hair was wrapped up in a square piece of cloth, and her expression could not be seen clearly, she could only see that her body was trembling in panic, and a jade guqin was placed in front of her.
Wei Qingfeng thought, could it be that the Emperor had sent this person? He was even more confused as he gently said, ”Don't be afraid miss. We are not bad people. I just want to ask you a few questions.”
The lady in cyan trembled for a moment. When she heard the gentle voice, she grew a bit bolder and moved closer to the door.
The carriage was surrounded by ink curtains, only the door of the carriage was lit up, the lady in green approached a little, and saw that there was a young people squatting in front of her, her eyebrows were sharp and her eyes were bright. She stared at her, thinking, this bandit looks like a good person, with a blush on her face, before gently nodding her head.
