Kaifeng Bistro

He looked up at Xu Gan, and he suddenly realized that besides Ying Long's soul in his body, Xu Gan was also an ordinary person, a mortal with his own emotions.

On the day when Yinglong's two souls of heaven and earth wake up in his body, he may have these memories, or he may not, but it is very likely that his life will come to an end just like before, and he belongs to Xu Gan's independence. The soul of life will also disappear completely.

What kind of person is he?Thinking of Xu Gan's suddenly cold eyes and restless soul in his body that day, Tan Zhifeng suddenly felt that he didn't understand him.

Tan Zhifeng stopped to take a breath, at this moment, he suddenly wanted to tell Xu Gan, Xu Gan is a smart person, this will solve all his doubts, he can choose to face the fate of Yinglong with Tan Zhifeng, or to live his own life.

He should also have the right to choose, at least he doesn't have to be tied to himself by a lie like he is now.

Xu Gan's arm resting on his shoulder relaxed a little: "What, are you angry?"

Tan Zhifeng shook his head, "No, actually I wanted to reject him. Actually, I wanted to say..."

"Look! Look, the elephant is coming!" Tan Zhifeng's voice was drowned out by the shouts of the excited crowd: "I heard that this time the leader is a white elephant! This is really unheard of, never seen before!"

The onlookers became more and more excited, Xu Yan protected Tan Zhifeng and leaned forward, getting closer to Zhan Zhao and Yi Yi.Changshang sat on Zhan Zhao's shoulder, and Ling'er sat on Yi Yi's shoulder. Tan Zhifeng vaguely saw that Yi Yi's palm supporting Ling'er was shining with strands of green light.

He smiled faintly, and said to Xu Gan: "Let's go, let's go over there with Big Brother Zhan and the others."

When Xu Gan heard Zhan Zhao's name, he looked disdainful, and the people around him were still squeezing, but they pushed Tan Zhifeng and Xu Gan to Zhan Zhao's side.

At this time, the lamps on both sides of the Royal Street were lit up, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime. Standing in the crowd, Xu Gan and Zhan Zhao, one was handsome and upright, standing out from the crowd; Many people, especially the girls, looked at her.Tan Zhifeng also raised his head and looked up like everyone else. Xu Gan's eyebrows were drawn into his temples, and his eyes gleamed coldly, which was somewhat like the shadow of Yinglong's human form in his impression.

His heart trembled slightly, and he pulled Xu Gan's hand even tighter. Xu Gan just turned his head at this moment, and the two looked at each other with a smile, and the tense atmosphere brought by Chen Qing just now disappeared.

Tan Zhifeng looked at the other side of the Royal Street, but the elephant hadn't appeared for a long time. He vaguely heard Zhan Zhao asking Xu Gan, "...Brother Xu Xian, your kung fu is good. I don't know which master you studied under..."

Xu Gan said coldly: "I wait for the common people, how can I compare with Zhan Daxia? With a famous sword and a famous teacher. I can punch and kick, but it's just to avoid being bullied by those harsh officials and rich people... "

Zhan Zhao has long been used to Xu Gan's attitude, and still said kindly: "If I have time someday, I'd like to discuss with Brother Xu Xian."

Xu Gan ignored him.Behind them, Ling'er, who was being held by Yi Yi, suddenly let out an exclamation. He bent down and leaned into Xu Yan's ear: "Daddy, I seem to see something. Elephants... elephants are white..."

The people around were completely stunned by the way the huge elephant slowly approached, and only then did Tan Zhifeng understand why Shangshang was so excited when he came back that day.

It's not that Changshang has never seen elephants before, but the elephants in front of him are walking neatly, solemnly and sacredly. Each elephant is wearing a golden bridle, carrying a lotus throne on its back, covered with gold silk, and embroidered with colorful clouds The thick brocade with silk tassels is shining in the light of the fire on both sides, very eye-catching.

The head elephant is a very beautiful white elephant, it is said to be a white elephant, but its thick skin is actually light gray.Such elephants are very rare and naturally cause commotion among the people.

Its long nose hangs down, its ears flap like cattail leaves, and it looks forward, submissive and majestic.Although its body is very heavy, it walks lightly step by step, like stepping on clouds.All his actions are under the command of the mahout in purple satin shirt sitting astride his neck.

Those mahouts were also dressed up extremely gorgeously, and the man in the purple shirt sitting on the head of the elephant was even more different. Not only was he wrapped in brocade and wiped his forehead like the others, he was also decorated with pearls on his forehead and covered his face with a light veil. A colored whip as thick as a wrist was wrapped around his body like a boa constrictor. When the elephant slowly walked out of Nanxun Gate and walked towards the crowd, he also slowly stood up from the golden lotus throne.

According to the old rules, sometimes when just leaving the palace, the elephant trainer will make the elephant make various gestures for the common people to watch.At this time, people thought that the good show was about to start, and they all flocked to this side, and the two sides of the imperial street were already crowded with crowds of onlookers.

"Hahaha, Zhifeng, look, does he look like the flute-playing snake-fighter we saw in New Delhi..." Zhuo Zhuo pointed at the mahout and smiled.

Hearing Zhuo Zhuo's words, Tan Zhifeng hurriedly looked over the lotus throne.He took a closer look, and saw that under the veil of the mahout tamer, his facial features were blurred, but there was a faint black air.

"Shut your crow's mouth for me!" Yi Yi also realized that something was wrong, and shouted at Zhuo Zhuo angrily.

Tan Zhifeng yelled in his heart that he was not good, and just wanted to remind Zhan Zhao, but he saw that Zhan Zhao had jumped up from the crowd, threw his right hand into the air, and a red firework pierced the still dark sky in the morning, and the crowd was shocked. , Suddenly there was a loud whistling sound from different directions.

Although Tan Zhifeng knew that Zhan Zhao was on guard, he couldn't help but sweat.At this time, the mahout's face under the veil became darker, and even the people who were closer noticed something strange. They asked each other and looked around in surprise, trying to figure out what happened.

"Scatter! Scatter! It is ordered to capture Xixia spies, and those who interfere with the emperor's orders will be killed!" The two guards shouted and ran over from behind, cutting the terrified crowd into two sections and evacuating in different directions.

The man in purple shirt was alarmed that something was wrong, he immediately pulled out the colorful whip wrapped around his body, and threw it at the white elephant under him.The soft and tough whip cut on the white elephant's back like a knife. The white elephant suddenly changed its docile appearance, raised its huge front hooves, and let out an angry howling sound.

The officers and soldiers of the imperial army all held spears, some of them were pulling lassoes, and approached the white elephant cautiously from behind, while another group of soldiers began to search for the Xixia people in the crowd. "Take off your head scarves and headscarves!" The officials who were ambushing in the crowd also took off their plain robes, revealing the armor inside: "Bring me all those who have their heads shaved!"

The white elephant has been surrounded, however, driven by the mahout, its soft trunk became as hard as an iron rod, and it was drawn towards the soldiers who approached it.Zhan Zhaofei jumped onto a tall building nearby, then landed behind the purple-shirted man, drew out the Juque sword and swung it at him.The Zishan man was held back temporarily by Zhan Zhao, and the soldiers began to approach the white elephant again.

There were seven elephants in this group. Seeing the white elephant go crazy, the elephants behind all raised their trunks and let out anxious roars.Under the loud order of several chiefs of the imperial army wearing copper helmets, the mahouts climbed off the elephants they were riding on, trying to get the remaining six elephants to surround the elephant so as not to cause headaches. The elephants ran around and trampled on the people, but those elephants seemed to be afraid of something, and they were unwilling to go forward no matter what.

"Let's go! Let me go, what are you guys doing in a daze, don't die!" The Imperial Street was already separated by the Imperial Army, and more and more soldiers lined up from Xuande Gate to this side. Then the people on both sides withdrew to the Suzaku Gate.Amidst the panicked shouts of the crowd, a leader of the Forbidden Army spotted Tan Zhifeng and the others standing there.

Yi Yi hugged Ling'er, Zhuo Zhuo pulled Shangshang, Tan Zhifeng and Xu Yan stood behind them, they moved very slowly, which attracted the attention of the imperial army who was evacuating the crowd.Tan Zhifeng is still hesitating, wondering if he should stay and help Zhan Zhao, but with his current ability, he probably won't be able to help Zhan Zhao, and maybe Bo will find him.

"It's not him." Tan Zhifeng vaguely heard Xu Gan whisper beside him.

"Who?" He raised his head nervously and asked Xu Gan.

Xu Gan raised his hand and pointed at the white elephant's back, Zhan Zhao was fighting hard with the purple shirt man.The purple-shirted man's colorful whip danced on the white elephant's broad back, drawing shocking red and swollen scars one after another. The injured white elephant became even more angry, stomped his feet, and almost knocked Zhan Zhao down.

Xu Gan said in a deep voice: "This person is not that Yeli Changrong, but just one of his minions. It looks like the person who fought with me at the corner that day."

Tan Zhifeng felt that Xu Gan's footsteps were getting slower and slower. He could feel that Xu Gan was hesitating. Next to his ears was the muffled roar of an elephant and the thunderous vibration of its heavy front hooves falling on the ground. A fierce battle was inevitable, and his heart couldn't help beating wildly.

Yi Yi and Zhuo Zhuo were right in front of him, they kept urging him.Tan Zhifeng shook his heart, stretched out his hand to hug Ling'er from Yi Yi's arms, then he took off the water drop around his neck, and tied the red rope around Ling'er's neck.Ling'er raised his hand to touch Tan Zhifeng's face, and then touched the cold pendant. He looked at Tan Zhifeng blankly, and called softly, "Daddy..."

Xu Gan, who was about to step out of the crowd, turned around and shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, Zhifeng will take care of you..."

After all, before Tan Zhifeng came to his senses, he brushed aside two imperial guards holding spears, and ran towards the angry white elephant. Tan Zhifeng shouted anxiously: "Xu Gan, wait!"

Yi Yi grabbed Tan Zhifeng's sleeve and said to Tan Zhifeng angrily, "What stupid thing are you doing?"

Tan Zhifeng returned Ling'er to Yi Yi, and said to him: "Hurry up, you and Zhuo Zhuo take Ling'er and Changshang home!"

"Catch that man!" Sure enough, several tall and strong men with shaved heads and bald heads were found in the crowd. They could not escape in the crowded crowd, and they were quickly rushed forward by the guards lurking at the side and knocked them down.

The Xixia spies cursed in a language that Tan Zhifeng could not understand, and kept struggling, but the angry Kaifeng people refused to let them go. They rushed forward, stomped and beat them.
