Kaifeng Bistro

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were attracted again. They saw a slender and vigorous young man jumping out of the crowd, grabbing the golden bridle of the white elephant and climbing onto the elephant's back. The people exclaimed.Someone said: "Who is this?! Why is it so familiar!"

Tan Zhifeng's heartbeat almost stopped. He watched Xu Gan's hideous mask that covered his horns, stretched out his hand to grab the rein, and climbed up with difficulty.The body of the elephant is like a mountain peak, and what's more terrible is that this mountain peak is shaking constantly, trying to kill all the ants that disturb him, and then step on it hard a few times.

"Hot... this, this is getting hot..." Ling'er touched her neck in panic and shouted.Both Tan Zhifeng and Yi Yi heard it.Yi Yi was about to pull Tan Zhifeng, but was pulled by the sleeves by two imperial guards: "What's the matter with you! With such a small child, why don't you hurry up and let me go!"

Tan Zhifeng had already squeezed past those two people, and when he turned his head, he saw Yiyi and Zhuozhuo being pushed towards Nanxun Gate.Yi Yi was still shouting anxiously: Tan Zhifeng! "

"I'm sorry." Tan Zhifeng said silently in his heart.The circle surrounding the white elephant continued to expand, with fewer and fewer people, and the behavior of the white elephant became more and more crazy. Almost all the soldiers around it were driven away or stunned by it with its trunk, but another group of soldiers came from behind. Surrounded up again.

Zhan Zhao's long sword suffered a lot from the elephant's back, it was not as flexible as a whip, and he couldn't keep the distance from the opponent, so he quickly gained the upper hand.The man in purple simply flicked his whip, jumped off the elephant's back, and focused his attention on Xu Gan.

"Hehe." Tan Zhifeng, who was already close, heard the familiar deep and cold laughter: "If I can kill you today, it's not a failure..."

Xu Gan keenly caught this voice: "Who are you?! Stand up for me!"

The elephant suddenly raised its front hoof and swung it violently, Zhan Zhao and Xu Gan who had climbed half way were both knocked off by it.Xu Yan flipped over lightly and landed in front of Tan Zhifeng, while Zhan Zhao turned around and stepped on the eaves beside him, and stabbed at the purple-shirted man with his sword.

The purple-shirted man waved his long whip, commanding the white elephant to attack Xu Gan on the one hand, and blocking Zhan Zhao's attack on the other.As soon as Xu Gan landed on the ground, he was rolled up by the elephant's trunk, tightly wrapped around him and lifted into the air.

Tan Zhifeng kept trying, he was anxious and nervous, as if he was the one who was entangled by the white elephant's nose, he was almost out of breath, but the white elephant didn't intend to let Xu Gan go, the inside of him There is no sign of spiritual power recovering.

"A mortal who is in the way!" The face under the veil of the purple-shirted man was no longer blurred. Tan Zhifeng was taken aback. He knew that Bo was going to attack Zhan Zhao. When it was gone, the whip gradually revealed a grey-yellow, frightening appearance of a boa constrictor!

The huge two-headed yellow snake rushed towards Zhan Zhao without hesitation, and the two heads attacked him in turn.Zhan Zhao's Juque sword drew blue lights in the air, resisting the attack of the double-headed snake.Zhan Zhao leaned over to avoid the sharp teeth of one of the heads, but the snake swung around his lower body and dragged him towards the elephant's hooves.

The guards surrounded the elephant at a loss. The ropes and spears angered the elephant, but to no avail, they turned to attack the man in purple shirt.The man in purple shirt didn't have a long whip. He held a sharp long thorn and a copper hammer used to tame elephants, and looked at the soldiers approaching him contemptuously.

Tan Zhifeng suddenly had an idea, he quickly ran to the side of the mahout who was still trying to drive away the other elephants, and said to them: "Quick, give me the copper hammer for taming the elephant!"

Seeing his thin body, one of them asked suspiciously: "This is very heavy, what do you want it for?" Tan Zhifeng didn't care about 21, grabbed the copper hammer and hugged it in his arms, turned and ran back.

At this time, the common people were all dispersed by the imperial army to the outside of Suzaku Gate, but many people stopped by the Caihe River and boarded the Longjin Bridge, wanting to see the scene of the battle between the officers and soldiers and the white elephant.More and more soldiers gathered in the entire imperial street, the white elephant staggered, and stepped on Zhan Zhao who was thrown under the hooves of the yellow snake. Snake, the blade of the Juque Sword brushed against the snake, but only sparks came out.

"Monster!" Some soldiers exclaimed: "Quickly, invite Master Wenhui!"

Tan Zhifeng didn't know who Master Wen Hui was, but he estimated that Xu Gan was about to lose his hold.He picked up a helmet from the imperial army who had been stunned by the elephant's trunk and buckled it on his head. He passed through the helpless soldiers, raised the long thorn at the other end of the copper hammer with all his strength, and aimed it at the white elephant's trunk. Chisel away.

This copper thorn was originally a weapon used by mahouts to subdue the elephant. If the elephant refused to obey or turned in the wrong direction, they would use this copper thorn to teach the elephant a lesson so that it will be obedient next time.The white elephant reacted immediately, angrily threw Xu Gan into the air, and then began to concentrate on dealing with Tan Zhifeng who was holding a copper thorn.

Xu Gan grabbed the rein of the elephant beside him and swung it, shouting to Zhan Zhao on the ground: "Ju Que! Give it to me!"

At this time, Zhan Zhao was entangled by the heavy snake body of the yellow snake again. Although the long sword was still in his hand, he couldn't use it. Without hesitation, he threw Ju Que towards Xu Gan.

Xu Gan let go of the rein, stepped on the elephant's golden bridle and jumped up, and when he landed again, the Juque Sword was already in his hand.At this time, the two heads of the yellow snake bit at Zhan Zhao together. Zhan Zhao turned to avoid the first head that rushed at him, but the snake teeth of the second head sank deeply into his shoulder.

Because of this, the other snake head was also restrained and could no longer move flexibly. Xu Gan turned over and jumped up, raised the sword in his hand and dropped it. The whole place was cut down!

In an instant, black blood gushed out, splashing Zhan Zhao's face, but the remaining snake head also let go of Zhan Zhao's shoulder, Zhan Zhao quickly pressed the wound, and dodged to the side.

The severed head and neck of the snake were still rolling crazily on the ground, but they were trampled by the frightened white elephant, turning into a puddle of mud under the elephant's hooves. Thick black blood and mucus seeped into the mud, and a purple-black foul smell emerged from the ground. out.

There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd, and the cheers of the common people came from near the Longjin Bridge.The Zishan man turned pale with fright, turned his head and saw the injured yellow snake rolling painfully on the ground, almost dying.He shouted angrily, pushed away the approaching soldiers, grabbed the elephant's pedals and climbed up, and stabbed the elephant's back with a copper thorn in his hand. The elephant went mad again and ran towards the river.

Xu Gan returned the Juque Sword to Zhan Zhao, and Tan Zhifeng hurriedly stepped forward to check on Zhan Zhao's injury, and injected his only spiritual power into his injury to help him protect his heart veins.

Just as Tan Zhifeng wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, people screamed from behind him again. At this moment, he suddenly discovered that the spiritual power in his body had returned!

This is by no means a good omen, he turned around in horror, and sure enough, the elephant had turned back just now, concentrating all his anger on Xu Gan, and under the control of the man in purple, he frantically Swinging the trunk, Xu Gan dodged the first two times, but the second time he was hit on his back heavily, and Xu Gan passed out immediately.

The soldiers of the imperial army attacked the elephant again, this time a row of crossbowmen came, and their bows and arrows were not aimed at the elephant, but at the man sitting on the elephant's back.Tan Zhifeng took the opportunity to run over and drag Xu Gan behind a bare willow tree on the nearby river bank, and felt his breath with his hands.

Xu Gan's breathing was very weak, and it was getting weaker and weaker.It was still dark, Tan Zhifeng looked around to make sure that no one was watching their direction, he closed his eyes, put his hands on Xu Gan's chest, his whole body turned into a white light, and disappeared at Xu Gan's heart.

The white elephant and Bo sitting on the white elephant looked contemptuously at the imperial soldiers rushing up from below. The arrow didn't hurt him or the white elephant. Sweeping everything into the river, he looked for the place where Xu Gan had just fallen, and soon noticed the willow tree, the trunk of the elephant wrapped around the thick trunk and uprooted him. Behind the tree, Xu Gan leaned against the river bank, his whole body exposed to the In the eyes of elephants.

Tan Zhifeng regained consciousness in Xu Yan's body. The voice he heard was Bo's shrill laugh on the elephant's back. What he saw was approaching himself and Xu Gan step by step. The elephant's front, which was as thick as a pavilion, leg.When he moved his legs and feet a little, he felt that his body was full of spiritual power, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He dodged to avoid the whipping of the elephant's rolled willow trunk, and slipped between the elephant's two front legs.

This is a very dangerous move. The elephant may turn around at any time. Its two hind legs can easily crush Xu Gan's mortal body into a pulp, but Xu Gan's body is as flexible and vigorous as a leopard. Just dodged it, and when he appeared behind the elephant, another mahout shouted, "Cut its hamstrings!"

Tan Zhifeng was still holding the copper thorn in his hand. He realized that the yellow snake was injured, and Bo was not his opponent to recover his spiritual power. The only thing Bo could drive was the elephant beneath him.Although he couldn't bear it, Tan Zhifeng still clenched the copper thorn tightly without hesitation, and swiped hard at the elephant's rear tendon...

The elephant's body fell down with a bang, and one of its hind legs lost its strength. It could no longer trample on Tan Zhifeng and the soldiers of the imperial army at will. Stabbed in the past.

Bo quickly turned around, staring at Xu Gan with shining blue eyes: "Who the hell are you?!" He growled in a low voice: "Are you Ying Long, or him?"

"Stop, Bo!" With the wailing of the elephant in his ears, Tan Zhifeng suddenly felt a little pity for Bo: "It's been so many years, what's the point of you doing this? More people must die and more people will suffer Are you satisfied?! The era of Ying Long and Kua Fu has long passed! It’s over! Let the people of today live in peace, wouldn’t it be!”

"Not good!" Bo roared angrily, but his voice immediately softened: "It's you, why are you still with Ying Long? If you are willing to go back to the foot of Dongshan with me, away from the brutal Ying Long ,perhaps……"

Seeing that Tan Zhifeng's eyes were firm and unmoved, he changed his voice again and said, "You ruined Yinglong's tenth reincarnation. Do you think Yinglong will really forgive you?"

The sudden words seemed to uncover the scar that Tan Zhifeng dared not touch for a long time, which made him feel a pain in his chest, and he was at a loss for a while.Bo was still walking towards him step by step, and said as he walked, "Leave him, and you will never have to worry about the past..."

……

Thick black blood spread in front of Xu Gan's eyes, panic shouts, elephant neighing, all these noisy sounds disappeared, and there was a calm and melodious music in his ears.The crimson red complicated robe and the crown on his head made him a little out of breath.

People on both sides stood respectfully, with obvious smiles on their faces. He looked sideways, and beside him was a woman in a blue dress robe. Her face was dignified and beautiful, and her head was covered with golden hair Huachai, holding a round fan, smiled shyly at herself.Facing this beautiful and noble woman, Xu Gan could only feel embarrassed, he squeezed out a smile, and then turned his face away.

He seemed to be looking for someone.In all his dreams, he was trying to find that person.But who is that?He could only catch a faint shadow or a vague smile, and he never saw it clearly, but he firmly believed that this person must exist, and he must be by his side.

But he understood that this girl who was walking forward with him and who was about to receive canonization was definitely not the person he was looking for.
