Tread thousands of dust

Chapter 26 Acquaintance

I have been away for a few days, and I heard that the prisoner has not moved.

Mo Fengyi got into the prison car where Tao Fengzun was being held, he was very curious about what kind of person this was.

Tao Fengzun is a strong man who can't help questioning, but 14 years have passed, and he has grown old. The man's hands and feet are chained, and he was released from the prison. It is said that he never opened his eyes. Mo Feng guessed that he might not have seen the light for many years and couldn't open it.

When he sat down, there were only the two of them in the small car, Mo Fengyi raised the corner of his mouth and said to him: "Tao Fanzun...well...why did they give you such a title?"

The man naturally ignored him, and sat firmly with his eyes closed.

Mo Fengyi didn't care whether he paid attention to him or not, and continued: "I know you've been imprisoned for so many years and you're unhappy, but you're about to be released, you have to meet someone?" His contemptuous laugh penetrated into the other party In his ears, "Aren't you curious why you were released? Why did Sakana prefer to attack with troops to save you, a useless person?"

The man moved slightly, his eyes still closed and he didn't make a sound.

"Anyway, I'm curious, so I followed."

Mo Fengyi felt that it was really boring, so he changed his posture and continued: "After so many days, oh no, after so many years, I should be the first person to talk to you properly."

He approached the old man, squinted his eyes and chuckled, with a slightly confused voice: "Don't you want to know who I am? Just to remind you, my name is Mo, Feng, Yi."

A while after he finished speaking, the man slowly opened his eyes and looked at him silently.

Mo Feng flinched for no reason. Being looked at by such a majestic, strong and mighty person is really frightening. Even if this person is imprisoned and bound by iron chains, he still looks so arrogant and supercilious. , as if everyone was an ant under his feet.

He stared at Mo Fengyi for a while, and suddenly said: "Mo Fengyi." He seemed to be thinking about the name, as if he had heard it somewhere.

"Yes, I'm Mo Fengyi."

Tao Fengzun suddenly laughed, his voice was hoarse and sandy, vigorous but weak: "I saw you, and I realized that it has been 14 years."

Mo Feng asked incredulously: "You really know me?"

Tao Fengzun chuckled: "I hugged you when you were young."

What? !

Mo Fengyi's eyes widened, he didn't believe it, Tao Fengzun was from Hanna, how could they have met?

However, this is what the emperor told him, let him confirm.

It's actually true.

"Impossible, I haven't seen you." Mo Fengyi hastily denied that this is the most hated criminal in Beiyi, but after hearing this, does this person know him well?That's not getting acquainted with yourself, but...with Mo Xian.

"Your father and your mother are all my friends." Tao Fengzun looked at him, his cloudy eyes unblinking.

His eyes fell on Mo Fengyi's waist: "That's right, you are Mo Fengyi."

Mo Fengyi followed his gaze and looked at his waist, which was the jade pendant his father gave him.

He read out gently: "Xiaguang Liuxing Pei."

Mo Fengyi felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he remained motionless in place.

How could he know the name of his jade pendant?Now that things have happened, I have to believe that this person knows him.But why did the emperor ask him to ask himself?What does this crazy Tao know?

Mo Fengyi got out of the carriage in a daze, Xun Can stepped forward and asked him: "What's wrong with you?"

He said absently, "Why isn't the carriage leaving?"

Xun Can hurriedly returned to him: "The mission stopped for a while, what did you tell Tao Feng just now? What's the matter?"

Mo Fengyi immediately raised his eyes to look at him, as if this could make him feel at ease: "Xun Can, I have something to tell you."

He gripped the man's arm tightly, as if the man would run away.

"You said, I'm here." Xun Can also grabbed his arm with his backhand, and patted him lightly in order to comfort him.

Mo Fengyi directly dragged him to the river.

He looked at the rushing river, and he couldn't make sense of the thousands of thoughts in his heart, and his head was about to explode with irritability: "I don't know how to say it, and I don't know what they mean."

Xun Can replied to him patiently: "What do you want to say, think slowly, don't worry."

Mo Fengyi took a deep breath, but still couldn't calm down: "I went to find Tao Feng just now, and he said he knew me."

"what?"

Mo Fengyi looked at Xun Can, bit his lip, and said after a while: "It's not that I know me, but my parents."

Xun Can frowned and said angrily: "How is this possible? Did he come to Beiyi besides being in prison?"

"I don't know, I don't know." Mo Feng shook his head in fear, pacing back and forth on the bank, "But he recognized my jade pendant, it doesn't look fake, and... and the emperor also said that he know me."

Xun Can wondered, "What does this have to do with the emperor?"

Mo Feng said in a deep voice, "It's because the emperor said he knew me that I asked him."

Xun Can was confused, he waved his hands and said: "Impossible, impossible, the Battle of Baidaokou 14 years ago should be the first time he came to Beiyi, and he was escorted back to the imperial city later, did he enter the imperial city?" Has the city not been imprisoned?"

"No." Mo Fengyi shook his head, "According to him, he came to the imperial city a long time ago, when I was just born."

Xun Can was surprised: "The emperor hadn't ascended the throne at that time, how did he know?"

"It's not that I haven't been enthroned." He corrected, "It's about to be enthroned."

After a pause, Mo Fengyi continued: "Tao Feng told me that the emperor had already won the victory and solved all the obstacles to enthronement. In order to please him, King Hannai sent Tao Fengzun to present a gift to show his sincerity. He was born at that time." In the imperial city, I got to know my parents."

Xun Can was puzzled: "So? What exactly is he going to say? Why did the emperor tell you this and ask you to verify it?"

Mo Fengyi was silent for a while before saying: "Xun Can, do you know why I want to join the mission?"

Xun Can was even more at a loss. What does it matter if Mo Feng is the deputy escort?

Mo Fengyi sighed: "I didn't want to tell you, but since I said it, you have to promise me not to tell others."

Xun Can was still immersed in a series of inexplicable shocks, but now that Mo Fengyi was confiding his heart, he was completely confused: "Okay, tell me."

Mo Fengyi didn't know how to speak, so he thought for a long time before he said, "You and General Wen received the order to escort Tao Fanzun back to Hannai, but the order I received was—" He looked into Xun Can's eyes, "kill him."

"What did you say!"

"Xun Can, don't worry, listen to me." Mo Fengyi quickly grabbed his hand, no matter what, "The emperor knows that Tao Fengzun is a man with superb martial arts skills and is very dangerous. Even after 14 years It may not be safe, so the emperor told me to kill him."

Xun Can said in disbelief: "But that would provoke war, and Hanna will not let it go."

Mo Fengyi's eyes were cold and cold: "My task is to ensure his safety in Beiyi, and then let him die in Hanna in a reasonable way."

Xun Can snorted, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Can't I even gain your trust?He didn't ask this sentence, he didn't dare to confirm it.

Mo Feng said awkwardly: "The emperor said that this is a secret order and cannot tell anyone. If I hadn't explained it to you today, maybe I still wouldn't have said it."

"Isn't he afraid that you will be in danger? You are his only nephew, why is this kind of thing assigned to you?" Xun Can was angry and anxious. The emperor obviously cherishes Mo Fengyi, and this kind of danger is not flattering. Why do you want him to go?

Mo Fengyi's eyes flickered slightly, and his tone was helpless: "I know why, because I am a member of the Jianghu, and I am not affiliated with the imperial court. Even if the matter is revealed and I am condemned, it has nothing to do with Beiyi. It can be explained as the grievance between Tao Feng and Jianghu , I want to seek revenge from him myself, so that I can leave it clean and leave Hanna with nothing to say."

Xun Can took a deep breath: "Then since you know that the emperor wants to use you as a shield, why did you agree?"

"Because the emperor promised me, after the matter is completed." Mo Feng said seriously, "I will be able to stay in the imperial city in a legitimate way."

"You could have!"

Mo Fengyi looked him straight in the eyes: "I can't! If I don't have merit, the only reason I stay is my identity. I don't want to be stabbed in the back like this. And you said it, I hope the emperor cares about me because of me. Is the ability right? This operation is the best opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

Xun Can sternly closed his eyes and opened them again: "Okay, even so, why did the emperor tell you that Tao Fanzun knew you?"

Mo Fengyi said again in a deep voice: "Because I asked him at the time if I could kill Tao Feng, he said that this person would never hurt me, so I can rest assured."

"Why is he so sure?"

Mo Fengyi shook his head: "I don't know, that's why I came to ask Tao Feng. It seems that what he said is correct. He even has a good relationship with my parents, so...he won't hurt me, I to kill him."

Xun Can was overwhelmed by a series of unbelievable surprises, and remained speechless for a long time.

He stood where he was, looking at the choppy river.

"Xun Can?"

Mo Fengyi tentatively called out to him, just after he let go of his hand, he couldn't touch him again, he just asked him: "I have no choice but to find a way to kill him."

It took Xun Can a long time to swallow a mouthful of saliva and said, "If you have to take this risk to stay, then I'd rather you go."

His voice was colder than ever before, and Mo Fengyi trembled for no reason, it seemed that winter was really coming.

Xun Can turned his head to look at him, his angry tone could not be stopped: "So you go to Tao Feng to confirm, is it to reassure yourself? He remembers you, knows you, and won't kill you? Don't you think Can he still miss you if he is affectionate and righteous? Do you believe what the emperor says?"

Mo Fengyi lowered his head and breathed out: "I didn't hold back my breath to ask. I know he might not remember me again, but my father never mentioned these things to me. I want to know more."

"Your father didn't say it, maybe it was because Tao Fengzun had a good relationship with him, but you also know that Han Nai and Beiyi fought because of a territorial dispute and broke up since then. Your father has understood this man since then You can't have any more contact, don't you understand?" Xun Can almost wanted to go up and beat this person up, so why did Mo Fengyi do it so stupidly when he was so impetuous?When he asked, Tao Fanzun would of course tell him that he had a good relationship with Mo Xian in order to win sympathy.

Mo Fengyi continued to bite his lips, and after a while he said submissively again: "But I think he just talked to me and looked at me...very kindly. Maybe my father doesn't recognize him, but he still remembers me."

Xun Can was so angry that he didn't even get angry. He went up and pulled Mo Fengyi by the collar: "Mo Fengyi! Are you a child! You'll believe him if he coaxes you!"

Mo Fengyi was very close to him at that moment. Although it was almost evening, Mo Fengyi could still see this person clearly. At this moment, his eyes were bigger and brighter at this distance, which made Mo Fengyi's heart skip a beat, and he rolled After licking his throat, he replied after a long time: "I was wrong."

Only then did Xun Can let him go, and Mo Fengyi was pushed staggeringly. He could only stand still and then shut up and straightened his collar silently. Seeing him bowing his head and admitting his mistake, Xun Can really looked like he was wrong. Just like a child, aggrieved and waiting for forgiveness.

Xun Can regretted being so angry at him at the time, but he continued to say stiffly: "Don't go to him again."

Mo Fengyi pouted and asked unhappily: "Why?"

Xun Can's fire has not yet come down: "Why? If you die at his hands, you don't need to ask why."

After speaking, he left without leaving, leaving Mo Fengyi alone by the river.

The more Xun Can thought about it, the angrier he became. This man didn't care about him so much. Why did he take on such a difficult task?Why not tell yourself to let yourself help him?Why did you go to Tao Feng without authorization?He didn't take his own life seriously, and after thinking about it, Xun Can felt that he should be beaten just now.

On Mo Fengyi's side, he just tugged at his deformed collar and followed behind in a disheveled manner. He couldn't tell if he wouldn't regret it now, but he didn't ask any questions these days, and today he couldn't help it....and He had never seen Xun Can get so angry, and it really scared him just now, but he couldn't figure out what Xun Can was angry about, obviously it had nothing to do with him.

As soon as the two approached the convoy, Wen Yanhuai asked, "Why did you go? I've been looking for you for a long time."

Xun Can replied, "Go for a walk by the river, let's go."

Wen Yanhuai nodded: "It looks like it's getting dark now, so let's go to the city and find an inn, take a rest today, and go on our way tomorrow."

Xun Can understood: "Okay."

Mo Fengyi got on the carriage in a daze.

Seeing him coming in, Yin Nihong began to sarcastically: "Yo, Mr. Mo, why are you willing to show your face?"

Mo Fengyi remained silent with a sullen face.

Ling Ziming asked him: "What's the matter, brother, you have been out for a long time just now, and we have been searching in the woods for a long time."

Mo Fengyi shook his head indifferently: "It's okay."

Hua Qianzi said, "Did you quarrel?"

Mo Feng couldn't help but touch his forehead, why Hua Qianzi can always grasp the key points right to the point.

"Yeah." He responded feebly, "He almost hit me."

Ling Ziming was surprised and said: "How could it be, brother Xun has always followed you, I still believe you if you beat him."

Mo Fengyi felt annoyed that he might not be able to make sense, so he just became depressed and refused to speak.

He even didn't even eat at night.

Xun Can didn't even want to knock on the door, he just kicked open the door with the food in his hand, and put the tray on the table with a dark face.

"Have a meal."

The man sat on the bench and closed his eyes to meditate: "Don't eat, take it away."

Xun Can went straight to the edge: "Come down."

Mo Fengyi was so frightened by his gloomy face that he leaned against the wall:

"I do not!"

Xun Can directly grabbed his arm and was about to tear it off, Mo Feng felt the pain but still stubbornly did not move, Xun Can pulled the man towards him, and asked in a low voice, suppressing his anger: "What are you doing? "

Mo Fengyi also held his breath and couldn't let it out. When had he ever seen Xun Can speak ill of him?

Mo Fengyi's arm was still in this man's hand and he couldn't move it. He was holding it tightly but it didn't hurt that much. He softened his tone: "I just don't want to eat."

Xun Can let go of his hand when he heard the words: "Aren't you hungry after being so tired from traveling every day?"

"Not hungry." He was still trying to be brave, "Take it away."

In fact, Xun Can also felt that his attitude towards him in the afternoon was a bit bad, but he still thought that this person should be warned, otherwise he would really be lawless, so he still said with a sullen face: "Come on, I won't say it a third time." .”

Mo Fengyi pursed his lips and reluctantly collapsed, and sat down at the table: "Eat it as soon as you eat it, whatever it is."

However, after eating for a long time, he didn't seriously swallow a few grains of rice, and he didn't blame him. No one could eat it after being stared at like this. Mo Fengyi reminded softly: "Don't look at me."

Xun Can, however, acted as if it should be taken for granted: "You eat yours, why do I care?"

"How can I eat when you look at me like that?"

"Why do you do so much?"

Mo Fengyi was also in a hurry, and he managed to lower his face to give this man some face, but he pushed his nose on his face: "Do you really want to fight with me, come on, you may not be able to beat me!"

But after meeting Xun Can's indifferent eyes, he swallowed his breath, bowed his head resignedly and continued to pick up the chopsticks.

Xun Can sighed, "You know how dangerous this is."

Mo Fengyi picked and picked among the dishes, but didn't reply.

"I don't want you to get hurt."

Mo Fengyi slammed his chopsticks on the table and asked, "Do you have no confidence in me? Am I bad in martial arts or bad in my head? Why are you afraid of that prisoner who has been imprisoned for 14 years?"

"Because he is Tao Feng and the God of War. He is someone who can't even beat my father. Beiyi paid tens of thousands of soldiers to catch him. That's why he was imprisoned for 14 years. The emperor didn't trust him. Go back to Hanna, that's why I don't trust you." Xun Can said a few sentences in a hurry, and hurried to finish the sentence, but he didn't realize the ambiguity in it until he finished speaking.

"You don't have to worry....I have a measure." Mo Fengyi bit these words and thought over them, as if he had discovered something serious.

"You have the sense to ask him for confirmation rashly? Do you have the sense to believe that his words won't hurt you?" Xun Can really didn't know what kind of background this person could have, so he dared to say such a thing.

Mo Fengyi curled his lips: "Then what are you going to do? Is it okay if I don't look for him anymore?"

"This is what you said."

Mo Fengyi closed his eyes and nodded fiercely: "I said so."

Xun Can added: "Also, tell me everything in the future, don't take risks alone."

Mo Feng was puzzled and said: "I didn't mean to hide it from you, didn't I tell you later, and what kind of adventure is this, I haven't done it yet..."

He held his breath and felt uncomfortable, he was the one who promised the emperor to keep it secret, it seemed like it was his fault that he didn't tell others, and he was the one who was obviously concealed, and he was murdered before he could find out anything After a meal, it is really hard to tell now.

Seeing that he was bored and silent, Xun Can said in a soft tone: "It's not that I don't believe you, I know you are capable of handling this matter well, but Tao Fengzun is not an ordinary person, my father died at his hands back then, I couldn't feel that he was safe and approachable, so I was angry."

Mo Fengyi was still silent, with his arms propped on the table and his head lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It was my fault." Xun Can pursed her lips, "I shouldn't be angry with you in a hurry, you are the one who is upset, I just..." I was just too worried about you.

Of course he didn't say it later, he was afraid that this person would think more about the "don't worry" just now.

Xun Can saw that his face had softened, and continued to ask: "Then do you have any plans?"

Mo Fengyi shook his head: "I'm thinking, anyway, I'm still far away from Hanna."

"Then I'll be with you, let's figure out a solution together."

Mo Fengyi was silent again, Xun Can, do you know why I didn't tell you?Xiaohua and Ziming don't know, even my father doesn't know, because they are afraid that you will be involved. If the crime is committed, I hope that only I will bear it. It's not because I am capable or strong that I can rely on myself. I am just simply afraid.

"Xun Can, your task is to keep him alive." Mo Fengyi raised his eyes to look at the person opposite, clearly refusing.

Xun Can was about to refute again, but he didn't want to make this person unhappy, so he just said, "We'll talk about it then."

Mo Fengyi picked up his chopsticks and prepared to continue eating.

Xun Can grabbed the chopsticks and said, "The food is getting cold, I'll change it."

But Mo Fengyi stopped him: "No need, I don't want to eat."

"No." After saying that, Xun Can picked it up and wanted to go out.

Mo Fengyi pulled him over and said: "I'm serious, why don't you send these back and bring two jars of wine."

Xun Can refused again without thinking: "No, you will get a headache when you drink."

"Hey, last time it was because the wine was too strong. You should take a better one and drink less." He bit his lip and forced a smile.

Xun Can really couldn't bear to hit his good mood again, seeing how hard it was for him to smile today, so he agreed.
