After finding the horse, Bai Yifeng continued on his journey, heading north.
Along the way, he saw countless disaster victims fleeing to the south. He also killed wave after wave of bandits who robbed him.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty had the Roaming King Li Zicheng to stir up trouble internally and the Manchu Dynasty to enter the pass externally. Li Zicheng even had the power to sweep through the entire Ming Dynasty. However, in Bai Yifeng's eyes, he was just a bandit leader who openly burned, killed, and robbed in the name of an uprising.
He vaguely remembered a scene where a certain person instigated the commoners to spread the news that the Roaming King had invaded and that the commoners would have a better life. Therefore, the commoners worked together with Li Zicheng's bandit army to open the city gates and defeat the Ming army. However, once Li Zicheng's bandit army entered the city, they burned, killed, robbed, and raped women everywhere. It was a scene that was worse than a ghost entering the village.
At first, when he saw Bai Yifeng, he would feel sorry for him and casually give him some money that he had stolen from the bandits. Later on, when he saw more and more of them, he would freeze to death on the road and could not control them anymore…
The horse came to a dark forest. It looked like a good place for ambushes and robberies. There were waves of noise coming from the forest. Bai Yifeng also noticed that there were quite a number of people inside. He wondered if there were some reckless people who wanted to hit him again. However, he did not care and let the horse continue to walk forward slowly.
After a while, Bai Yifeng saw many familiar figures. It turned out that they were not after him, but rather the treasure of Emperor Jianwen that Yuan Chengzhi had prepared to give to Li Zicheng. The four sides of the forest were confronting each other, but no one took the lead. No one was willing to fight with the snipe and clam and benefit from it.
Yuan Chengzhi, Wen Qingqing, and a few others were talking nonsense with Bai Yifeng's old acquaintance Sha Tianguang. On the other side was a lone thief. From the conversation, it turned out that this fellow was Chu Hongliu. Looking at his rough and red hands, he should have practiced martial arts like Iron Palm. However, Bai Yifeng's attention was on the last group of people. To be precise, it was the young girl beside the old man who led this group.
The young lady was dressed in green. Her skin was fair, and her cheeks were slightly red. Her big black eyes were filled with innocence and romance. Her every move was elegant, and she did not look like someone from the martial world. The most important thing was that this young lady was very similar to Nun Jiunan. Bai Yifeng had also confirmed her identity.
It was the Ming Dynasty's Princess Ah-Jiu, who was born in the royal family and grew up in the Jianghu. She was also the future Mistress Jiunan. The third favor Bai Yifeng wanted to return this time was her. The secret manual he gave Wen Qingqing was originally prepared for her. Since he came to Ming Dynasty, it seemed that after dealing with Yu Zhenzi, he would have to go to the Ming Dynasty's palace.
At this moment, Bai Yifeng's horse had already arrived in front of everyone. When Yuan Chengzhi discovered that it was him, his eyes could not help but light up. However, someone quickly came over.
"Why are you here?" The little girl Wen Qingqing was bold enough to move in front of Bai Yifeng.
"Scholars can go anywhere they want. But you, girl, didn't I tell you to practice your martial arts first?”Bai Yifeng flicked her forehead as he spoke.
Wen Qingqing was in pain when Yuan Chengzhi came up to greet her.""Martial Uncle Bai."
Wen Qingqing grabbed Yuan Chengzhi's arm and said mischievously,""I'm not listening to you. It's none of your business."
Sha Tianguang recognized Bai Yifeng at a glance. He couldn't help but shrink back. He was already planning to retreat. The other two parties looked at him with disdain. He was just a useless scholar who couldn't even tie a chicken. Seeing his pleated white silk shirt, jade flute, and golden fan, they even thought that he was a good target for robbery.
Yuan Chengzhi saw that Bai Yifeng was ignoring him, so he did not ask for his help. Bai Yifeng was also happy to watch the show, treating himself as an invisible person. His men quickly decided to use a martial arts competition to determine who the treasure belonged to.
With nothing else to do, Bai Yifeng swaggered over to Emperor Jianwen's treasure and began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to see if there was anything good that caught his eye. Anyway, Fool Yuan was planning to let Li Zicheng, this big bandit, take it, so it would be a waste not to take it.
He picked out a pair of phoenix pendants. They were bone-chilling to the touch. The jade was delicate and smooth. Yes, it was a good thing. He was about to put them in his arms when someone spoke first before Yuan Chengzhi objected.
"Hey! Brat, don't touch my things." Chu Hongliu jumped out and shouted.
Yuan Chengzhi was speechless. Since when did it become his? Wen Qingqing immediately looked like she was taking pleasure in his misfortune.
"Oh? Your things, when did these things become yours?”Bai Yifeng said with a light smile as he kept the jade pendant.
"Of course it's mine. Since I saw it, it's naturally mine." This guy's expression was so righteous.
Bai Yifeng could not help but admire his words.'Damn it, even I, Duan Kun from Tsimshatsui, am not as arrogant as you.'
At this moment, Ah-Jiu's red lips parted slightly and he chuckled softly."Uncle Chu, you should teach me first. I haven't had enough fun anyway. I wonder what kind of weapon Uncle Chu is using."
Chu Hongliu said with the demeanor of an expert senior,""Why would I need a weapon to fight a junior like you?"
"Little girl, you have a good heart. You old pig, your skin is really thick. Just by looking at your hands, I can tell that all your martial arts are in your hands. If I give you a weapon, will you use it?”Bai Yifeng unceremoniously exposed him.
When Ah-Jiu heard this, he secretly felt that this scholar was really ignorant. He wasn't afraid of being beaten to death, and he actually called him a little girl. He didn't look much older.
