Kaifeng Bistro

The crowd of onlookers saw blood splatter everywhere, the Kunwu sword burst into blue light, clouds gathered in the sky, and the sound of thunder was faintly heard.The people were startled and fled in all directions, shouting, "Bai Yutang killed another man!" Some kept shouting, "Where are the officers and soldiers?!" The whole wheat straw alley was in chaos. Forming a group, the guards who came to watch the night didn't know what to do, so they could only retreat with the crowd, and the alley was empty in an instant.

Xu Gan frowned slightly, raised his hand to cover his chest, and said to Bai Yutang, "I have no intention of fighting you again, you can go."

Bai Yutang cupped his sword, turned around and walked out of the alley.Zhan Zhao had already untied the rope that tied the horse, got on the horse, and stretched out his hand to Bai Yutang: "Hurry up, it will be too late!"

The door next to it was slammed open, and Tan Zhifeng stood at the door and waved desperately to the two people on the horse, saying, "Brother Zhan, Brother Bai, wait a moment!"

Zhan Zhao, who was sitting in front, quickly reined in the reins, and the horse neighed, and soon stopped.Tan Zhifeng ran over and handed an envelope to Zhan Zhao, and whispered: "The things inside are very important, and must be handed over to Mr. Han on Jingyuan Road!"

Zhan Zhao's eyes flashed, and he said, "Thank you! Go and see Xu Gan!"

Bai Yutang also looked at Tan Zhifeng, he reached out with his lower body, touched Tan Zhifeng's face, smiled at him, with a bit of reluctance in his smile, and said: "I've offended you so much today, Zhifeng, let's See you tomorrow..." As he spoke, he moved closer and said in Tan Zhifeng's ear: "I want to teach you, brother will teach you later.

Tan Zhifeng's face turned red immediately, he could only nod his head and said, "Well, you two take care."

"Where is it?! Is it really Bai Yutang?!" There were people shouting and running outside, and it seemed that a large number of imperial guards had arrived.Tan Zhifeng quickly took a step back and waved to them.Zhan Zhao flicked the reins, looked at Tan Zhifeng, then looked back at Xu Gan standing at the corner of the street, and said softly, "Goodbye!"

Wen Hui came out from the courtyard at this time: "Oh, the disciples have been taught for nothing, and they didn't say anything to me before leaving, but I'd better help them..."

Saying that, the sky that had just calmed down became dim again, and a huge blue bird sang and passed over the heads of the group of imperial guards, but in their eyes, it was just a terrible whirlwind of pale blue that was as hot as a flame , They didn't see anything clearly, they only heard the sound of horse hooves, Zhan Zhao whipped the horse, and led Bai Yutang towards the south gate.

"Here we come, Lord Zhan is here, you guys open the door quickly!" Wang Chao urged the soldiers guarding the city: "Hurry up, this is Master Bao's order, you can't bear it if it's late!" Under the urging of the city, the soldiers guarding the city hurriedly opened the city gate, and the steed did not stop for a moment, flying past their eyes like the wind, and disappeared without a trace after a while.

When the green smoke cleared, Tan Zhifeng was relieved to see that Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao had left safely.At this time, he hurriedly looked towards the end of the alley, and saw that Xu Gan had already picked up the Kunwu sword. He held the sword in one hand and stood there with his hand covering his chest, looking at Tan Zhifeng with a pale face.Tan Zhifeng's heart sank suddenly, he rushed over to support Xu Gan, and shouted loudly into the yard: "Shangshang, Shangshang, come out and treat Xu Gan!"

"Are you okay?! Are you okay!" Tan Zhifeng asked Xu Gan incoherently again: "Bai... oh... why is Brother Bai so cruel, is the injury serious?"

Xu Gan remained silent, and Tan Zhifeng became even more anxious.He gently opened the front of Xu Gan's coat and took a look, only to see that Xu Gan's inner garment was still white and smooth under the moonlight, without any scars at all.

Tan Zhifeng touched it suspiciously for a long time, but he was still not at ease. He was about to examine it carefully when he heard Wen Hui sneer behind him and said, "Oh, you silly boy, just come and listen to my lectures often—'Everything The conditioned dharma is like a dream and bubbles. It is like dew and electricity, so it should be viewed as such...'"

Tan Zhifeng stood in a daze, Wen Hui was about to make fun of him again, when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "Quick, go and see if that person is still alive?"

"Now, you really have to suffer." Wen Hui raised his hand, and the blood on Xu Gan's chest suddenly expanded. "You..." Xu Gan's face was distorted this time: "Wen Hui, you and I have known each other for thousands of years..."

"That's why I want to help you." Wen Hui helped Tan Zhifeng hold Xu Gan, and shouted outside: "Hurry up, ask a doctor to come over!"

The officers and soldiers outside seemed to realize that Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao had already left, and just now they rushed in and surrounded the entire alley, Wen Hui winked at Zhuo Zhuo Yi who had just come out, Zhuo Zhuo immediately understood, and was even a little excited.She looked at Xu Gan for a while, and then let out a sharp cry, which almost pierced everyone's eardrums.

"Oh my God! Our boss is still so young, he hasn't even married yet! Let Bai Yutang kill him! Ah! Zhifeng, what are you going to do!"

Everyone who shouted was stunned, and the doctor who rushed over was stunned in surprise, holding a medicine box and dared not go forward.After a long while, someone said: "Miss Zhuo Zhuo, your master doesn't seem to be dead yet."

"He... Isn't the child several years old? Who said he wasn't married?"

"...Yeah, and what... does this have to do with Shopkeeper Tan?"

Tan Zhifeng couldn't bear it anymore, and this time Xu Gan's chest was really oozing blood, Tan Zhifeng himself was sweating profusely: "Stop yelling, Zhuo Zhuo, please, hurry up and prepare some hot water and clean water. Bu, Shangshang, go and make another bed, Yiyi, invite the doctor in."

Zhuo Zhuo felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, turned his head and ran into the house to boil water.A leading officer came over to Tan Zhifeng and Xu Gan and said, "I'll ask you two a few words later..." After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Xu Gan, couldn't help being stunned, and said again: "... But I see that you are seriously injured, let's check the injury first." After that, he turned around and waved his hand: "Let's go! Follow me to search for the suspect!"

Tan Zhifeng and the others hurriedly sent Xu Gan into the house. The doctor was ready to wait there. Tan Zhifeng helped Xu Gan take off his clothes. This time, a shocking sword wound lay in front of his eyes, which made him gasp. .

Fortunately, the doctor stepped forward, examined it carefully for a while, and then said: "The injury is in this place... Indeed, it is indeed a bit dangerous, but this brother is young and strong, as long as he rests well, he should not be killed. Yu."

Tan Zhifeng looked at Xu Gan worriedly, but Xu Gan shook his head slightly.After the doctor checked the injury, he went out to report to the officers and soldiers guarding outside.After a while, he came back and prescribed medicine for Xu Gan.He also instructed Tan Zhifeng how to take care of him before leaving.

"Okay." Seeing the doctor left, Xu Yan comforted Tan Zhifeng and said, "It's just envoy Wen Hui's blindfold, there is no serious problem."

"Thanks to me." Wen Hui said from the side: "Can you fool so many people just by playing tricks like my apprentice?... But I wonder, which song are you singing? "

"Oh, this is a long story." Tan Zhifeng sighed.He went to the window and looked out: "Brother Zhan and Brother Bai, they should have left Kaifeng by now and are on their way to Jingyuan..."

……

Wheatstraw Lane had returned to calm, but two figures flashed across the alley, and one of them, who was younger, said, "Can you see clearly, is he really seriously injured?"

Another person hurriedly said: "My lord, I was in the crowd just now, and I could see clearly that Bai Yutang stabbed us with a sword... we..."

The man on the opposite side waved his hand, and the man no longer struggled with the address, but continued: "...Fortunately, Xu Gan dodged sideways, but he still got a heavy slash with his sword, right on his chest. What's more, I heard that the doctor reported back to the officers and soldiers after the injury examination, saying that the injuries were indeed not serious, and told them not to come for interrogation tomorrow, but to come back in two days."

"Hmm... It seems that Bai Yutang has known his identity for a long time. I'm still wondering why both of them fell in love with Tan Zhifeng's tavern and insisted on living with him..." The young man took a deep breath. He took a deep breath, "I think, I should have made no mistakes in this step."

But the older man sighed and said: "You... well, even so, that kid A Yuan died a bit...My lord, at any rate, he was in love with Xu Yan, and he was like a brother. If Xu Gan finds out that this is you We blame you for what we did, so what should we do? You know, he...he is not like A Yuan, he, he is our emperor's younger brother after all. The Queen Mother sent him away with tears in her eyes, saying All of this is for the sake of achieving great things in the future. Besides, he acts resolutely, and has always had his own ideas, I'm afraid..."

"They are not like brothers," the young man smiled: "Xu Gan, he is different from ordinary people. You saw how reluctant he was when he was asked to marry that woman. In the end, I used tricks to let them The bridal chamber, after all, gave birth to a son for him. Because of this, A Yuan even had a big fight with him... Oh, what a silly boy..."

The other person showed confusion on his face, but the young man continued: "It's just that A Yuan has the meaning of his existence. Xu Gan grew up in Kaifeng. He was full of sympathy for the people of the Song Dynasty, and because he was sent away since he was a child , I still have a dissatisfaction in my heart. But as long as there is A Yuan, he will always stand on the opposite side of the court."

"Then why did you kill A Yuan again?" Another person asked in confusion.

"Because Xu Gan doesn't like him anymore." The young man sighed lightly: "I also have many puzzles about these things, so until now I haven't dared to reveal my identity in front of Xu Gan. Otherwise, he will definitely see through everything..."
