Chapter 18 2. Baili Chasing Wind

Yellow River Five Dragons. I stroked the rim of the cup in my hand, and began to think about the identities of these five people in my mind. I didn't have any impression, but the innkeeper was so afraid of them. It was obvious that they had a lot of power in Hancheng. What's going on? Gong Feicui turned her head and said to me: "I want to go to Dragon Palace with Xiao Zuo, sister Xiansu, are you going?" Seeing the other party's expression clearly did not invite outsiders to go with me, so I said: "I won't go, Mr. Xiao, Miss, please take care of me." The youngest of the five dragons of the Yellow River stared at me, and said with a smile: "This is Ziyu Xiangman, Director Feng, right? Director Feng, but please rest assured, the safety of Miss Gong is on me, and she will lose a hair , I’ll bring my head up to see you.”

I nodded slightly: "Thank you so much." Gong Feicui immediately got up and followed Xiao Zuo onto the horse, her expression was very excited. I have known her for more than ten years, and it was the first time I saw her trust in people so much, but according to Xiao Zuo's words, I went with her. The rain outside did not know when it stopped, the sky was like washing, showing a faint light blue, which was projected on the two people riding horses, making the man look handsome and the woman graceful. Behind Jin Zhaoyucui and the two maids whispered, "Miss and Mr. Xiao are a perfect match." It seems that they also saw Gong Feicui's unusual feelings for Xiao Zuo.

I waved to the innkeeper, he was still in shock, he rushed over while wiping his sweat and bowed, "What do you want, my guest?" "Let me ask you, where did these five people come from?" The innkeeper was stunned and asked in confusion: "Didn't they come to invite your friends? Why... the guest officer doesn't know them?" I just smiled. The innkeeper is also a shrewd person. He immediately understood the subtle relationship, but he showed a look of embarrassment, looking at me wanting to say but not daring to say it. I handed a piece of silver to him, his eyes lit up, he leaned forward slightly and whispered: "To tell you the truth, I don't really know the origins of these five people. Since the store opened, every month The case has always been handed over to the subordinates of the 'Dragon King', but since last month, the people who received the money have suddenly been replaced by these five people, and judging from the degree of respect the people in the Longmen have for them, especially the boss, there are many people. The power of the Lord, so the little ones secretly guessed that they must have worshiped under the Dragon King's door..."

Before he finished speaking, I stood up abruptly, and looked at the other side of the long street, the group of people had already disappeared. How could I have forgotten that there is only one person who is the most powerful and prestigious in this area of ​​the Yellow River, and that is the Dragon King.This person is in charge of all the river channels and river transportation business of the Yellow River, and the number of Longmen disciples is second only to the beggars.If the Five Dragons of the Yellow River hadn't been backed by him, how could they have such grandeur and beauty? No wonder just now Xiao Zuo said that he was going to some Dragon Palace. If he wanted to come, he would have known that the Five Dragons of the Yellow River had come to invite him under the order of the Dragon King.

It's just—the fact that Wulong took refuge in the Dragon King has never been reported in the world, even I don't know about it, but Xiao Zuo didn't seem surprised when the youngest self-reported his family as "Yellow River Five Dragons", and how did he know it? information?After Gong Feicui went like this, she couldn't come back in a few hours. We hurried across the river in such a hurry to avoid the Thunderbolt Hall and the nest of ghosts in the mountains, but we were delayed here by these five people... The more I thought about it, the more confused I became. For a while, countless guesses turned in my mind, but I denied them one by one. I couldn't guess why, so I could only decide to wait and see. With Wulong's current reputation, they guaranteed that the young lady would If it is safe, then nothing will happen.That being the case, the thing to do now is to recharge your batteries and wait for departure.

Thinking of this, I turned around and said to the iron cavalry leader: "Arrange the brothers to go to the room to rest, send those who need to see a doctor to see a doctor, and go to pick up dry food when they are in good spirits. When the eldest lady comes back, we will continue on the road. Here we will temporarily hand over to you You are in charge, Jin Zhaoyucui, you follow me." Baili Chenfeng was drinking tea, when he heard this, he raised his head with a questioning expression.I smiled at him and walked out of the inn with the two maids without any explanation. Some things are inconvenient to say in public, such as——

buying clothes. The boss of the silk and satin shop brought out seven or eight kinds of high-quality fabrics in a row. Seeing me, he still shook his head and was a little anxious, "Girl, what do you want? These are the best products in the shop." "The most expensive doesn't mean the best." I turned to the samples on the shelf next to me, and saw a piece of satin with a light blue color in the corner, like the sky after the rain. I said immediately, "Take that one down and let me have a look." The boss sighed: "Girl really knows the goods. This is the most expensive xiangyun gauze. This is the only piece that the shop can get. However, it has already been ordered."

Caressing the silk surface, they flow smoothly between my fingers like water, "I'll give you double the price, this piece of fragrant cloud yarn belongs to me." The boss seemed very embarrassed, "This... small shop has always done business with integrity..." "Five times." I stopped all his embarrassment with two words lightly.Integrity?Honesty is just a kind of speculation when the price difference is not big. I was born as a merchant in the palace family, so naturally no one understands the truth better than me.Sure enough, the boss nodded quickly. "Wait a minute, you can find some of the most skillful tailors to make clothes for me now, the time should be fast, maybe I will send someone to pick them up in three hours. In addition, I also want five sets of the best underwear, shoes and socks. It's the size." Seeing his astonishment again, I handed him a bank note, and seeing the number on it, he finally stopped talking.

When walking out of the silk and satin shop, Jin Zhao said excitedly behind him: "That satin is so beautiful, the chief executive must look good in it." "Who said I wore it?" "Didn't you wear it?" I lowered my eyes: "I bought it for the eldest lady, and the size I gave is also hers." Jin Zhaoyucui was surprised and said: "We are still wondering, the chief executive has never paid much attention to food and clothing, why did he buy clothes for the first time, and it turned out to be for the lady. I didn't expect that the chief executive would even consider such a trivial matter So thoughtful."

trifle?I smiled lightly. In my opinion, this is a big deal. The Yellow River was killed, and except for the treasures such as the Yanjia vase, everything else sank to the bottom of the sea, including Gong Feicui's box of extremely beloved clothes.This eldest lady has been spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and she really suffered a lot in order to give the treasure this trip.If she doesn't show it, it doesn't mean I can pretend not to know. At this time, there was a commotion from the other side of the street. When I looked closely, I saw many people surrounding a white horse, yelling, nodding with ropes, beating with whips, and even climbing on the horse's back vigorously. Fierce, constantly struggling, obstinately refused to give in.Several people were touched by its hoof and fell to the ground moaning.

With a slight thought in my mind, I walked towards them. A big man stopped me and said, "Girl, don't go any further. We are training horses, so be careful not to kick you." "Tamer?" I glanced at the man, he was obviously a horse dealer, "Is it stealing?" The horse dealer quickly argued: "Look at what you said, I, Ma Laosan, is a well-known figure in Hancheng, how could I do such a thing? This white horse was lost to me by the prodigal young master of the Luo family. I didn't expect it to be so stubborn, and several of us experienced horse trainers were kicked by it, so it's a shame!" I groaned, and looked at the horse carefully, and saw that its eyes were shining brightly, and it looked like a steed. It really was the best.At this time, it kicked and kicked wildly, and everyone dodged quickly, not daring to approach it again. What a character!I walked towards it, stretched out my sleeves and flicked lightly amidst the exclamation of the crowd, one, two, three, the white horse fell to the ground, unconscious. Turning around, I looked at the stunned Ma Laosan, and I smiled slightly: "Make an offer, I want this horse." When he returned to the inn, it was already half an hour later. After asking about the cavalry, he walked towards Baili Chenfeng's room.Unexpectedly, he didn't close the door, and sat alone by the window playing chess alone. "Isn't it boring to play chess alone?" He looked up at me, showing an invitation, so I sat down opposite him, and I saw more than a hundred chess pieces on the chessboard, black and white facing each other, already in a gelled state. "Two tigers are fighting." I deliberately slowed down my voice, and sure enough, I saw him startled, "Do you have something to worry about?" "How did you know that?" "Chess is like life." I paused, and then said, "Bai Li is famous for his death, who will be the next city lord? Adopted son, or you?" Baili Chenfeng's complexion suddenly changed, becoming indescribably weird, "Why do you think there will be two candidates?" I laughed, smiling calmly, "The first swordsman and the city's son are incompatible. If you tell me that your relationship is very good, I will be surprised." He is silent. I picked up a white piece and said, "Can you tell me who Xiao Zuo is?" "What are you doubting?" He followed my chess move and returned a move. "Du Sanniang." I made another move and took the surrounding black chess pieces, "Even you are not sure whether that woman knows martial arts, which means she must be a top-notch master. Xiao Zuo can restrain her so easily, don't you think?" Is it strange?" Baili Chenfeng pondered and said: "Then in your opinion?" "Also, we disembarked in Hancheng after temporarily changing our itinerary. How did the Five Dragons of the Yellow River know about it? Don't you think there are too many coincidences?" Seeing his extremely astonished expression, I laughed. Disrupting the chess game on the table, he said, "I just said it casually. It's my habit to think the worst of everything. Xiao Zuo is your friend, so you naturally know him and trust him, right?" He looked at me with complicated expressions in his eyes. After a long time, he sighed softly and said in a low voice: "Miss Feng, you are so suspicious, do you feel lonely?" There was a sudden pain in my heart, and I was aroused by his words, and I suddenly felt that my breath was restless.Baili Chenfeng, why do you always make me so impetuous? "I just want to be safe, there's nothing wrong with that." I answered him like this, but I didn't want to talk about it, so I changed the subject, "By the way, come downstairs with me, okay?" He went downstairs with me without asking why. Does he trust me now like Gong Feicui trusts Xiao Zuo?Don't ask why, don't ask right or wrong... Thinking about it like this makes my chest tremble even more.Fortunately, the destination has been reached. In the stables in the backyard of the inn, there was a long howling sound. The timing was just right, and the white horse that was stunned by my poison woke up.As soon as it saw me, it barked even louder, gnawing on the rein to try to break free. Baili Chenfeng looked at this scene and said in astonishment, "This—" I smiled and said: "Chasing the sunset to death, I think you must be very sad to lose your beloved horse. So, I will give you back one. Although this white horse is not as good as it, it is still one in a hundred, but it is wild. Untamed, whether you can control it or not depends on you." Baili Chenfeng's eyes showed a scorching look, but anyone who loves horses sees a good horse, just like a martial arts lover sees martial arts secrets, and a passionate teenager sees a beautiful woman, the degree of ecstasy can be imagined. Sure enough, there was a flash of white light, the rein of the horse was broken, the white horse was freed, and immediately galloped, while the black cloak was flying, Baili Chenfeng had already got on the horse's back, but in the blink of an eye, one person and one horse disappeared. I stood where I was, quietly waiting for his return, feeling inexplicably peaceful in my heart, mixed with a little joy.Looking up at the sky, the blue is so pleasing to the eye. After a full meal, the sound of the horse's hooves sounded again. Looking sideways, Baili Chenfeng rode the horse back, and when he came up to him, he gave a light scold, and the horse stopped obediently, obviously it had been tamed by him. I saw fine beads of sweat on his forehead, it seemed that the process of taming was not easy. "What a horse!" He got off the horse and exclaimed, "You are wrong, it is no worse than chasing the sun." "Since ancient times, a famous horse is like a beauty. If you tame it, it will submit to you. Congratulations." He stroked the horse's back unsatisfied, and suddenly said, "Come up with a name." "Uh?" "You should name the horse you gave me." Since I knew him, it was the first time I saw him smiling so brightly, maybe it was infected by his good mood, so I blurted out without thinking: "Your horse was called Chasing Sun, and this horse is called Chasing Wind. All right." His gaze suddenly calmed down, and it immediately made me realize that I had said something wrong.Chasing... the wind?wind!My surname is Feng, does this imply that he is pursuing me? For a moment, my cheeks were burning like fire, but I have always maintained my composure, and I also felt at a loss when faced with such a gaze. I quickly lowered my eyes, but I saw his hand slowly stretching out from under the eyelashes. I flinched subconsciously, but I still couldn't escape. One hand was gently held by him, and I heard him say: "Okay." , it’s called chasing the wind.” The feeling in my hands is warm, the warmth is like the ocean, and my whole body and mind have been submerged softly while I am still hesitating.Why, Baili Chenfeng, why did you do this? I raised my eyes to look at him, that face was flickering in the sun, and suddenly became blurred. He laughed, his voice soft like the wind in early spring, "Thank you... Miss Feng." So there were tears in my eyes, I don't know if it was fear, resentment, or something else, but at this moment, I have no intention to guess.With a slight twist of my wrist, I broke free from his grasp and hurriedly turned and left, not daring to see the expression on his face. Baili Chenfeng, I can't, I can't, I can't love, and I can't love you, I can't... Pushing the door open and entering the room, the whole person slumped down the wall weakly, his chest was messed up and painful as if being run over by something.I stretched out my hand to press my chest, trying to calm myself down, but in the end I found something, my face suddenly changed, and the restlessness caused by the morning breeze dissipated like bubbles in an instant. I rummaged through the skirt again, still nothing! I stood up, my eyes fell on the distance without focus, and a voice in my heart was very cold—— Du Sanniang's silver bracelet is gone. Wind cellulose, someone has quietly stolen it from you.
