Chapter 152 Broken Sword is in Danger
"Duan Dao's identity has been exposed, and the imperial court knows he's still alive."
"Emperor Hongde has issued a decree for the arrest of Dao throughout the country, offering a thousand taels of gold for his head."
"It won't be long before the news gets through."
"People die for money, birds die for food. Many people want to get a thousand taels of gold. Many people in the martial arts world have already set out to search for the whereabouts of the broken knife."
"Currently, martial law has been imposed at the gates of Changjing and the surrounding prefectures. He won't be able to hide for long. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Bai Xiaofeng left this message and walked away.
He wanted to go back to Wangque Tower and have some quiet time.
The gate of Xiao Su's courtyard was closed and everyone was sitting in the main hall. The atmosphere was even more silent than before, and there was a suffocating heaviness and depression in the air.
Duan Dao was gone for more than three years and no news came back during that time.
Everyone understood that Changjing was too far away from the border town of Yongzhou.
Secondly, this is a place of exile and a place where the government has given up its control, so it is difficult to exchange information with the outside world.
In addition, the identity story hidden behind the broken knife would inevitably expose flaws and arouse suspicion, making it impossible for them to exchange letters.
There has been no news about him over the years, and everyone has been comforting themselves in their hearts that no news is good news, and they believe that he must be doing well over there.
I never thought things would turn out like this.
If Bai Xiaofeng hadn't come to their door, they would still be clueless about the whole situation.
Grandma Su frowned in worry. "How could it be like this? Why would his identity be exposed for no reason? What happened to Master Broken Blade outside that made the court want to kill him like this?"
Su Xiao said cautiously, "This may be related to Master Broken Blade's previous identity."
"No matter who he is, it would definitely not happen to Master Broken Blade!"
A thousand taels of gold for the head! This is a complete extermination!
The old woman gasped with anger.
She still doesn't know Broken Blade's true identity.
But people are biased, and she is partial to Lord Broken Blade. At this moment, she feels that the man sitting on the dragon throne is narrow-minded and has no imperial demeanor at all.
Lord Duan Dao has been in exile for so many years, and everyone knows that he has bottom lines and principles in doing things.
The old woman didn't believe that such a person could be such a treacherous and evil person that the emperor could not tolerate him so much!
Du Buqin sat on a low stool holding Tianbao in his arms. His old face was gray and gloomy, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth in hatred. "The news that Broken Blade left the Land of Exile is unknown to anyone outside our village. Ordinary people wouldn't bother with such trivial matters. It must be that bastard Big Beard who betrayed him!"
In the past few years, they have been fighting with the Twelve Wharfs, and the bearded man hates Tubei Village.
It just so happened that the emperor's uncle also came this time, and Big Beard knew the true identity of Duan Dao. It was not impossible that he could fan the flames in front of the emperor's uncle and sell the man out.
"I'm going to settle the score with him!"
"Mr. Du, don't be impulsive for now. Things may not be as simple as you think." Huo Ziheng also came. He was the calmest among the group.
He said, "Bai Xiaofeng came to visit this time under the pretext of exchanging information, but whether he has other ulterior motives is still unknown. It's best to clarify what's going on first, to avoid being taken advantage of."
"No matter what he is planning, it is certain that Duan Dao is in danger now. Since that dog emperor Hong De has issued an imperial decree, the news will spread everywhere soon. I will set off to the border town to inquire about it now. Whether it is true or not will be clear immediately!" Du Bqin couldn't suppress his anger, so he left without taking Tian Bao with him this time.
At this point, everyone was concerned about Duan Dao's safety and had nothing to say for the time being.
After the old man left, Bai Yu also left quickly and returned to the Bai Mansion to tell his father Bai Kui about what happened.
The father and son sat facing each other in the study.
Bai Kui looked at the young man, who had put away his arrogance and unruly look and now looked calm, and asked with a smile, "Have you made a decision?"
Bai Yu raised his eyes, "What decision should I make? Broken Blade is my master. Bullying him is bullying me. How can I tolerate this?"
"Although I, your father, don't know the true identity of Broken Blade, I know that since he has caused such a big fuss in the imperial court, he must be hiding something big, and his background is probably closely related to the imperial court. People in the martial arts world have always hated being involved with the imperial court..." Bai Kui said a few words in a dignified manner. Seeing that the little ancestor's eyes began to narrow, and he was ready to rebel, the man changed the subject and laughed, "But since my son has spoken, I must obey! This matter is under the jurisdiction of the Bai Mansion!"
The young man stared at him for a while, then suddenly leaned over, reached across the desk, grabbed the man's face, and pulled his skin out of shape. He acted arrogantly like a real ancestor and said, "Old man, if you tease your son again next time, I'll stick a beard on you!"
"Aren't you asking Dad to embarrass Bai Xiaofeng?"
"Go ahead. He must know Broken Blade's identity. Maybe he'll be disgusted and spit out his words."
Bai Kui, "..."
Oh, why is his son so popular?
Du Buqin returned to the village around midnight that night and was almost scared to death after jumping into his own yard.
The moon was casting heavy shadows, and four dark figures were squatting in a row under the eaves of his house.
Eight eyes glowed in the night.
"You bastards, what are you doing here? Do you want to scare me to death?" Patting his chest, Du Buqin cursed in a low voice.
Su Wen, Su Wu, Su An, and a little sweet baby, stared at him quietly.
"Grandpa Du, have you heard the news?" Su An asked.
Something happened to Uncle Duan Dao, the adults were worried, and they were worried too.
How can I sleep?
The four of them simply came over and squatted down to wait for news. The elders knew how they felt and did not stop them.
Du Buqin was silent for a moment, then walked over and sat down on the ground next to the children. "It's true. The emperor's imperial edict hasn't been posted here yet, but the Yongzhou government office has received the news, and many people are talking about it."
He looked up at the moon overhead. After the fifteenth day, the moon began to wan. "This place is 18,000 miles away from Changjing. Even if we take shortcuts and rush at all costs, it will take at least two months to get there."
After a pause, he looked at the cubs, "Maybe we really need to collect Broken Blade's body this time. It can be used in the pit later."
The fourth kid's eyes became even gloomier. This joke was not funny.
Tianbao stood up, only at this height could he touch the old man's head, "Two months is two months, let's go save him."
The old man took her little hand away and held her in his arms. He looked at the moon and snorted, "You little brat, you're always worrying about adults. Grandpa Du and your master will figure out a way to deal with this. Don't bother."
Changjing must go.
There are things I need to do before I go.
That bearded guy, the dog coin, betrayed Broken Knife, so he would first send him to the underworld to welcome Broken Knife!
"Tianbao, Grandpa Du will be staying in the pharmacy tonight. This time, I need to ask you for the herbs. Those things in the backyard are useless."
Tian Bao raised her foot and kicked her three brothers away. "You guys go away. Grandpa Du and I have to go to work."
Three, "Let's go together——"
“I don’t need it.”
“…”
