Kaifeng Bistro

The two came to the bed and sat down together. Ling'er raised her hand and groped in a daze: "Daddy, Daddy is gone."

A dark blue light gradually rose in Xu Gan's hands, and he said, "Don't be afraid. We have promised him that we will take good care of you."

Ling'er's black and white eyes stared straight ahead, two lines of tears flowed silently, Tan Zhifeng walked over to hold his little hand, and said to him: "Ling'er, good boy, you have to be strong."

Ling'er turned to Tan Zhifeng's direction, buried his face in Tan Zhifeng's chest and cried for a while, then he raised his face, and Tan Zhifeng wiped away his tears.He nodded, and tried his best to sit up with the help of Changshang.Xu Gan and Wen Hui glanced at each other, Wen Hui sighed softly, a cluster of sky-blue flames was beating slowly in his palm.He sent the flame to Ling'er.Ling'er's eyeballs moved suddenly: "I, I saw it."

"Although Xu Gan's soul has left, the blood flowing in you and this child's body will be affected by the fluctuation of your power. As I said, his Fushiya soul was suppressed by this divine power, so Temporarily blind. But the reason why he is uneasy now seems to be not only this, but also some other reasons... Ling'er, tell me, have you been having some strange dreams?"

Ling'er opened her eyes wide, staring straight at the blue flame that day.His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his little face became paler and paler.Wen Hui winked at Xu Gan, and Xu Gan flipped his fingers lightly, the dark blue light streamed towards Ling'er one by one, Ling'er's eyes suddenly opened, and his expression became more painful.Shangshang was sweating anxiously, his brown shimmer was so small in the light of Xu Gan and Wen Hui, but he still tried his best to let the faint light wander around Ling'er.

"Yes... I always have this dream." Ling'er said intermittently: "I don't know why, this dream seems... seems to be very important to me. I dreamed that a group of people rode horses farther and farther away, Lots and lots of people, in armor. I dreamed they were walking a narrow path, and then on the side of the path..."

He raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat, and tried hard to continue speaking, but it seemed as if something was stuck in his throat, his mouth opened and closed, but he still couldn't speak.

Tan Zhifeng saw that Changshang had lost all strength, so he gently put his hands on Linger's back, letting the warm white light in his hand replace the brown halo of Changshang, protecting Linger's thin body again.This conversation seemed familiar. Tan Zhifeng remembered the night when Wen Hui first came to the tavern to have a drink with them. Before he left, he put his hand on Linger's forehead. Linger said to them: "A lot of white pigeons are flying Woke up……"

"Pigeons, Ling'er, think again, there are so many pigeons, where do they come from?" Tan Zhifeng moved his hand to Ling'er's shoulder, he leaned over and asked softly: "Ling'er, this is not only important to you, but also We're all important. Tell me."

"From the box." Ling'er stretched out her hand and gestured beside her: "There are many iron boxes buried on the side of the road. I saw the leader, he was very tall, and he said: 'Look what is that?' Then someone opened it. out of the box..."

His voice became weaker and weaker, Tan Zhifeng turned to Wen Hui and said, "Master, Ling'er is tired."

Wen Hui nodded, he clenched his five fingers, and the light blue flame disappeared in his palm.Seeing this, Xu Gan slowly withdrew his divine power.Ling'er seemed to have been drained of all her strength, and fell limply into Tan Zhifeng's arms.Tan Zhifeng hurriedly and carefully put him down, but he gently grabbed Tan Zhifeng's sleeve and said to him: "Brother Zhifeng... there is a voice in my heart, telling me not to say anything."

Tan Zhifeng was taken aback, and he hugged Ling'er a little tighter: "Don't be afraid, you did the right thing." A faint smile appeared on Ling'er's lips, he nodded, and soon closed his eyes drowsily .

Wen Hui let out a long sigh, turned around, and said to Xu Gan, "How much do you remember about him?"

Xu Gan closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, and when he opened his eyes, he replied in a low voice, "I don't remember."

"Wh... don't you remember anything?" Zhuo Zhuo asked anxiously while hiding behind Yi Yi: "You don't remember the one who died outside..."

"No, I know this. Before I came here, I couldn't see Xu Gan's own experience." Xu Gan turned to Tan Zhifeng: "I only have the memory of Ying Long and the memory of this time."

"Zhifeng—" Suddenly, Zhan Zhao's voice came from outside the door.Tan Zhifeng hurriedly said, "Brother Zhan? Come in quickly."

Zhan Zhao opened the door and walked in, his complexion was not very good, he looked worried.Tan Zhifeng asked him, "Where's Brother Bai?"

When Zhan Zhao saw Wen Hui was there, he sat down and bowed to him, then he turned around and closed the door, sat down and sighed: "Something is not good, Dali Temple sent someone here, saying that they want to take Yutang to ask In other words..." He raised his head to look at Xu Gan as he spoke, and said, "Brother Xu Xian, I would like to express my condolences, I know that you and this A Yuan are brothers and sisters, but you have to believe me, the murderer must not be Yutang."

Xu Gan stared noncommittally at Zhan Zhao for a while, then asked him, "How do you know?"

Zhan Zhao stood up and cupped his hands to Xu Gan, and said, "Now that things have come to an end, let's talk openly and honestly. It's not that I, Zhan Zhao, didn't do anything wrong, but I rarely misjudged people. Brother Xu Xian, you are very handsome. , your words and deeds are upright, I believe that no matter who you are... who you are, you will never do anything that hurts the people and is against the laws of nature."

"The dead A Yuan..." Zhan Zhao took a look at Xu Gan's face, and continued, "He...he is the youngest son of the King of Xiangyang. Those followers of the King of Xiangyang thought they had escaped us and let him hide In Kaifeng, I can continue their illegal activities of colluding with Xixia. But Mr. Bao has long seen what they have done. Not only that, it is because of them that I can see Ye Lichang little by little. The details of Rong's group of Xixia traitors were revealed. But..."

"Ah Yuan's identity, you should have already known it." When Zhan Zhao said this, his voice became much calmer: "It was his parents who did the evil, and he didn't deserve to die. Besides, since not only Master Bao knew that he was a child of the clan, the imperial court was very strict with him. This is also very clear. The official family has a kind heart. Even if the king of Xiangyang is bent on rebellion, the official family cares about the blood and family relationship, and did not give him the death penalty, so the official family has never intended to kill A Yuan. On the contrary, now he Dead, but there are many things that must be involved."

Everyone in the room was silent, and Zhan Zhao continued: "This incident is really not trivial. Many people saw it, and many people recognized that knife as Yutang's carry-on..."

He took a step back and bowed deeply: "Brother Xu Xian, I think, although it is inconvenient to say some things clearly, you should also know that Xixia was originally a subsidiary of my Song Dynasty, but now it is openly rebelling, occupying the land of the Song Dynasty, and slaughtering the Song Dynasty The people. Li Yuanhao and his minions are already at odds with the people of the Song Dynasty. But the Liao Kingdom...is different. Since the Tanyuan Alliance, Song and Liao have been living in peace for 40 years with the Baigou River as the boundary. Every time the envoys of the Liao Kingdom came to Kaifeng, the imperial court treated each other with courtesy. Now the imperial palace has never been greatly repaired, but there has never been a shortage of silver taels for renovating the capital pavilions and post houses that received the Liao Kingdom. Not only that, even the Khitan Many ordinary people also lived and worked in peace and contentment in the Great Song Dynasty. You must have heard of these Khitan 'Guiming people', right? Whether they are farming, studying, or doing business, the imperial court has no restrictions on them..."

"But you still want me to tell you, who am I?" Xu Gan interrupted Zhan Zhao, looking at him seriously and asked.

"Tell him the truth." Tan Zhifeng said softly, "The real truth. Brother Zhan should know everything."

Xu Yan heard Tan Zhifeng say that, without hesitation, he said directly: "Okay."

"I... I'll tell." Tan Zhifeng's mind flashed the pictures he saw when he was in contact with the vague shadow just now. These pictures have been far away from Xu Gan as the shadow dissipated, but the scene after scene But it was imprinted in Tan Zhifeng's heart.Isn't Xu Gan as innocent as A Yuan?They were born into the vortex of struggle, and they also died without knowing why. Tan Zhifeng thought, if possible, they would definitely not be willing to spend their lives like this. However, no one has ever given them the right to choose once. .

"Brother Zhan, maybe you think what I said is a little weird, but everything I said...is true." Tan Zhifeng said slowly: "The Xu Gan you see now is no longer the brother Bai who just wants to think about it." It's time to find out who Xu Gan came from, and what we know about him is very limited..."

Tan Zhifeng briefly talked about the past between him and Ying Long, and then he talked about the fragmented memories he got from Xu Gan's soul just now. After he finished speaking, everyone in the room showed surprise. Zhan Zhao was surprised by the experience of Yinglong and Tan Zhifeng, and the rest were surprised by Xu Gan's identity. Thinking of the scuffle with Taotie at Tianqing Temple a while ago, everyone realized that things were getting worse. It became more and more complicated, and even Wen Hui fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Zhan Zhaoxian said: "Zhifeng, I believe what you said. That Yeli Changrong, the spell of the man you called Bo, and the monsters in the bamboo forest, the war in the northwest, Zhifeng , and this... Ying Long, thank you for your great help all the time, but what worries people now is probably not just the war between Song Dynasty and Xixia..."

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover." Wen Hui smiled faintly: "Master Zhan, don't be afraid, Ying Long and I will not let the flames of war burn all over the land of China again."

"But now, we still have to think about it. What is the most important thing...Brother Bai was taken away by the Dali Temple. Brother Zhan, let's find a way to save him. That is to say, we must find out who killed A Yuan. Not only for the sake of Big Brother Bai, but also for the sake of explaining to Xu Gan.” Tan Zhifeng took a breath, and continued: “However, this is only one, and the second is what Ling’er saw... "
