Chapter 207 News
The New Year's Festival in Tubeishan is joyful and lively.
The fragrance of various rice cakes and fruits in the village gradually faded from the beginning of the new year to the Lantern Festival.
When spring came, the villagers took advantage of the spring sunshine to plow the fields and sow seeds, and Tianbao, Bai Yu and several of his brothers also started to get busy.
In the past, I only had to go to the teacher's house for classes in the morning, practice on my own in the afternoon, and then choose a place to play with Grandpa Du.
Not now, I'm so busy that I hardly have time to play.
Tianbao and Bai Yu were taken to Wangque Tower every afternoon to learn the art of disguise and mechanical engineering.
Su An followed the bearded man to learn how to steer a ship, how to swim, and how to deal with officials from the local maritime customs.
Su Wu spent more time with Bai Kui than Bai Yu. In half a year, he had a thorough understanding of Liangjifang and began to set his sights on the rich arsenal of weapons in the Bai Mansion.
As for Su Wen, who had the greatest ambition, he would bite the tip of his pen at home every day to write articles, which were then criticized by his teacher as worthless. Every night when the children got together, he would be at his most depressed.
During this period, news began to come back from Changjing intermittently.
Princess Changle returned to the princess mansion and was still as arrogant and tyrannical as ever. However, for some reason, she suddenly became tired of her favorite games and never took in any new lovers in her backyard.
Duan Dao is doing well and is still secretly trying to find evidence of Emperor Hong De's guilt. However, more than ten years have passed since the Yuan family incident, and it is more difficult to find clues and evidence again. It will not be a matter of a day or a night.
Everyone is working hard towards their goals, moving forward step by step.
…
Time flies, year after year.
In the early morning of June, there was a thin mist and morning glow.
A carriage stopped in front of Xiao Su's courtyard.
A young man of fifteen or sixteen years old sat on the front of the car with one leg bent, his nose straight and his lips thin, his eyes slightly closed. He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe with arrow sleeves and a jade belt around his waist. His satin-like black hair was tied up with a white ribbon, and his posture was lazy and unrestrained.
"Tianbao, hurry up! Godfather told us to arrive early today. Brother got up before dawn to pick you up." His voice was mellow and clear, like pearls falling on a plate. Although he was urging her, his tone was slow and leisurely, as if he was deliberately teasing someone.
The old wooden door opened and someone walked out.
The early morning sunlight penetrated the mist and immediately fell on her, illuminating her eyebrows and eyes.
A girl of eleven or twelve years old, with a beautiful and elegant appearance, a pair of clear almond-shaped eyes that are warm, indifferent and quiet under the sunlight without being stained by light.
She wore a lake green long-sleeved top with a slanting collar and outlined edges, and a white belt tied around her slender waist that was less than the size of a hand.
Cool temperament.
When he raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows, there was a sense of majesty without anger.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, the corners of the boy's lips curled up, and he tilted his head to open his eyes, his eyes full of smiles, "Thank you for keeping me waiting. Get on the train, there are chestnut cakes that you like in the drawer of the carriage."
The girl's beautiful hair was also tied up with a jade-colored ribbon into a high ponytail. When she jumped into the car, the ponytail swayed gently, emitting a faint and elegant fragrance.
As she stepped past the boy and entered the carriage, she tapped his forehead with her finger. Her voice was as clear and pleasant as a cold spring, "Junior Brother."
Bai Yu touched the spot where he was hit, the smile in his eyes became even more intense, and he said in a long tone, "Yes, yes, Senior Sister - sit tight, we're leaving. Go!"
The carriage sped out of the village, raising dust along the loess road.
The three young men, who had been slow to act, were met with dismay the moment they left the house. They angrily shouted at the back of the departing carriage, "Bai Yu! I'll definitely deal with you in the morning class tomorrow!"
The response to the three was the loud laughter of a young man coming from afar.
A man with a bird's nest head suddenly appeared from the wall next to the courtyard. He stared at the three of them fiercely with his triangular eyes and sneered, "There are no morning classes this morning. Where are you going out so early?"
Three, “…”
"Don't even think about running away today. Follow me up the mountain to catch the snake king!"
The three boys immediately scattered, "Grandpa Du, only Tianbao can catch the King Snake! It's okay for us to catch snakes for you, grandson, but we won't accompany you this time. Just play by yourself first, hahaha!"
"You little bastards! Stop right there! You're done for! Wait till I catch you!"
The door of the Huo family's courtyard opposite slammed open, and a small figure ran out holding a wooden sword. He must have just woken up, and his hair was not combed yet, and it was messy on his forehead.
The little kid stared around, slashing at the air with his little wooden sword, and yelled fiercely, "Where's my sweet sister? Bai Yu is trying to steal my sister again! I'm going to beat him up!"
Mrs. Huo leaned against the courtyard gate, her hands on her hips, and laughed, "As expected of my daughter! She has all the heroic spirit of her mother!"
Behind the two, one large and one small, the man's pleasant voice was extremely helpless, "My lady, be careful with your words. Little wheat ear, come back and put down your sword."
The poison was not harmful and he ran away without looking around.
Otherwise, Little Wheat Ear will catch him and fight him later.
These days are really chaotic.
On the other hand, the carriage slowed down and drove smoothly after leaving the village.
Tianbao held a small food box in her arms, which contained exquisite chestnut cakes. She ate two pieces before speaking, "Did you get any news from your godfather?"
Bai Yu listened to the subtle sounds of eating in the back, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "That should be it. In the past few years, the three major forces have strictly guarded the entrances and exits, but people have still sneaked in several times. Although no major incidents have occurred, it also proves that the people behind it are still not giving up. It's quite annoying."
"Yeah." It's quite annoying.
Especially since those people wanted to kill were all the people she cared about.
Tianbao brushed off the pastry crumbs on her fingertips, leaned against the wall of the carriage and looked out the window, her almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed and her eyes dark.
"Tianbao, what are you thinking about?" The boy's voice sounded outside again.
Tian Bao said calmly, "I'm thinking about how to fight back."
"You can fight however you want, just count me in."
"Of course it counts."
This sentence was met with joyful laughter from the young man.
Tianbao raised an eyebrow and kicked him through the car curtain.
The laughter outside became louder.
The inner city has been in chaos for years.
As soon as you enter the city, you can hear the sound of fighting, and the roar can be heard from one end of the street to the other.
The carriage drove along the avenue, finally turned into an alley, and stopped at the back door of Wangque Tower.
Looking up from the back door to the third floor of Que Tower, you can hear the lingering sound of the piano.
As soon as Bai Yu heard it, he knew that his godfather was not in a good mood and was playing the song "Mountain Ghost".
"Godfather, Tianbao and I are here."
"Knock."
The door was open. Bai Yu had already stepped inside. He then went back and knocked twice perfunctorily on the door. Then, smiling, he approached the guqin and asked, "Godfather, did someone upset you?"
Bai Xiaofeng raised his eyelids and glanced at the young man, "No one has ever made me unhappy as often as you have."
Tianbao sat down next to the incense burner and let the fragrance soak her clothes. "Godfather, stop playing. If you have something to say, let's talk about it."
"When will you be more patient? Did this song waste your time?"
Tian Bao sighed silently, "What on earth is going on that makes you so unhappy?"
After being with Bai Xiaofeng for the past few years, his godson and goddaughter have become fully aware of his emotional changes.
Whenever he said something against your will, it meant that he was extremely unhappy.
Bai Xiaofeng: “…” He felt even more upset after being seen through.
He pressed the strings of the zither with both hands, and when the music stopped, he leaned over and took out a secret letter from under the zither table and threw it to the two of them, "Guiyi Pavilion has strangled one of my intelligence networks in Darong."
