Since the death of his mother and concubine, Yang Heng had very little contact with the emperor, so he could only guess his thoughts from his memories and some public actions of the emperor. After he returned to the capital from Beiguan City, the emperor began to secretly send people to contact him. At the same time, he also expressed his concern for him through Princess Antai. Although the two father and son did not see each other often, they felt a lot closer.
Including the plan to clean up the Mao family and the Xia family, Yang Heng also played an important role in it, cooperating with the emperor to maximize the effect of the plan.
After the power of the Mao family and the Xia family was overthrown, the emperor openly regarded him as his most valued son and the future heir of Qi State. He watched and studied from the sidelines, and began to hand over a lot of real power to him. This kind of treatment had never been enjoyed by even the first and second princes before.
Although Yang Heng felt happy, but after many years of tempering, his heart had already become extremely calm. Facing the sudden honor and favor, he was not really carried away with excitement. On the contrary, in more contacts with the emperor, he developed more and more The more vigilant it means.
The emperor spent more than 20 years fighting against Mao and Xia's family. This kind of forbearance and the ruthlessness in sacrificing the two sons without hesitation were enough to make Yang Heng secretly startled.
The old man on the dragon chair, in addition to being his father, is more important than the emperor! But for everyone, including their biological children, this old man's identity is first and foremost the emperor, the emperor who decides their life and death!
Yang Heng is no longer a child who needs the affection of father and son. In his opinion, the emperor's favors are more of a kind of compensation - because of the power of the Mao family and the Xia family back then, he had to look at the woman he liked He died in the deep palace, and his most proud and valued son could not get close to him, so once the Mao family and Xia family fell, the emperor would do all the things he wanted to do but couldn't do all the time.
The Tian family was ruthless, and the emperor had been estranged from Yang Heng for many years. Rather than saying that he wanted to treat Yang Heng well, it was better to say that he wanted to show his supreme authority once he came to power. Yang Heng was not dazzled by the appearance of the scenery, he knew very well that when the emperor's enthusiasm for him faded, the real test would come later.
However, he is no longer willing to rely on the "family love" given by the emperor, especially after these recent events, he has a deeper understanding that only when the power is in his own hands can he have the right to do whatever he wants. Relying on others to give, you will be restricted by others, and the so-called fame, fortune and wealth in front of you may be taken back by others at any time.
Yang Heng always knew exactly what he wanted, he turned his head to look at Bai Fuling with a cold face beside him, and said in a low voice: "I don't like this place either, but one day I will turn it into something I like. look."
Bai Fuling glanced at him with disinterest and said, "Then I wish you good luck."
Yang Heng suddenly had the desire to pull her into his arms and suck her into his body forcefully, or to swallow her into his stomach one by one, this heartless little girl, just say a word All of her words were unabashedly showing her intention to separate herself from him, telling him clearly that she didn't care about him, what he was going to do, or even him as a person!
If he said the same rebellious words to other confidante, I'm afraid they would either turn pale with fright or worry about the difficulties and dangers he was about to face, and the woman he cared about the most in front of him casually said "I wish you Good Luck" sent him off, no fear, no worries, as if he was talking about tomorrow's better weather or something.
Yang Heng felt a deep sense of powerlessness, as if no matter what he did, the final result would be blocked by Bai Fuling without hesitation, all his efforts were like fists hitting cotton, with nowhere to go.
It's asking for trouble! Why did you only fall in love with this little girl? Yang Heng smiled wryly, he suddenly felt that it was more difficult than impressing the little villain in front of him than seizing the throne and becoming the emperor!
The most important thing is that he doesn't have enough time to attack her right now, but fortunately, the little villain is still young, and with her temperament, she shouldn't be easily deceived by other men, except...
"You have a good relationship with Haimen?" Yang Heng thought of his subordinate's report, he didn't want to guess, so he asked directly. In fact, he knew about Bai Fuling's contact with Haifushi early in the morning, but the subordinate who was in charge of spying on the news could only briefly report the fact that the two met and Bai Fuling helped the victims of the Ning'an River on behalf of the Martial Arts League and the Relief Hall. It is impossible to infer Bai Fuling's perception and attitude towards sea pumice.
Bai Fuling got a headache when she heard Haifushi's name, and without thinking about it, she said in a vicious voice, "What a ghost!"
Yang Heng's heart trembled, he didn't feel happy at all, instead he had a bad premonition, he had never seen Bai Fuling have such intense emotions for a specific person.
"His identity is a bit complicated, so be careful." Yang Heng felt his voice was astringent.
"Got it..." Hindsight! Bai Fuling was so depressed that she didn't even want to say anything. Yang Heng and Hai Pumice are actually half-brothers, and their mothers are two sisters who have a very good relationship. It is not surprising that Yang Heng would know Hai Pumice's identity.
It's just that why did he wait until she was unlucky enough to get into trouble with this big monster before reminding her
Yang Heng and Bai Fuling walked all the way to the palace gate, watched Bai Fuling get into the car and return to Ge Lao Mansion, then turned around and got into his own car and drove away.
Bai Fuling returned to Gelao Mansion, and briefly explained what happened today. The faces of the three heads of the Bai family were heavy, and Bai Changshan sighed, "At first, I was wondering if Ling'er could stay in Beijing for a few more days... that's all. , anyway, the luggage is almost packed, if there is no time to pack, send someone to send it back, tomorrow, tomorrow Ling'er will go back to Beiguan City first!"
Although the Bai couple were reluctant to give up, they didn't object, and ordered them to go down immediately, preparing to leave Beijing early tomorrow.
The Bai family are all action factions, and they arranged overnight, and all the personnel, carriages and horses were ready early the next morning. The guards of the Bai family elected 30 people to accompany them, and the maids only brought Ginkgo, Baishao and Yangmei. They all stay in Beijing temporarily.
In the whole team, only Yangmei and Bai Fuling know no martial arts. If something happens, Bai Shao, Bai Guo and the other guards are not weak in martial arts, so they can concentrate on protecting Bai Fuling. Yangmei is responsible for the division of labor and various chores along the way.
Among Bai Fuling, Ginkgo, and Bai Shao, one is lazy and doesn’t like to meddle, the other is lively and active, and the other is not good at management. Bringing bayberry will save you a lot of worry.
The luggage has also been streamlined. Except for the things that will be used on the road, the rest will not be taken, lest they have to be distracted to take care of them. horse.
Bai Fuling's eye-catching ebony carriage had already left the city ahead of schedule the night before and parked in a farm next to the official road on the outskirts of the city, and the group left from Ge Lao Mansion early the next morning.
Bai Fuling had been in this world for more than ten years, and it was the first time she had to be separated from her parents for such a long time. Although it was a happy thing to leave the capital, when she thought of leaving her parents for a few months, she couldn't help feeling reluctant to part with her. After a while in the mother's arms, she said: "Mother, the matter in the capital is over, you have to come to Beiguan City as soon as possible!"
Mu Peilan's eyes were red, but without saying a word, she nodded and suppressed her tears and sent her daughter to the car. Seeing this, Bai Chou felt distressed and said, "Why don't I go back with Ling'er."
Bai Fuling glanced at the grandfather with white beard and hair who was also full of reluctance, shook her head and said, "Father stays in the capital to take care of grandpa and mother, and Ling'er is waiting for you in Beiguan City." Grandpa waited for so many years to find him. Father, he is old, and the capital is not easy to treat. It is better to have his father to accompany and take care of him than to fight alone as an old man.
Lin Pingzi interrupted suddenly: "Why don't I accompany you back, Ah Wu and Ah Shi can't take care of themselves well."
Bai Fuling raised her head and glared at him, saying: "Anxin, be your loyal Duke, it's up to you how much money my family can earn in the capital!" Lin Pingzi was so beaten, he looked at Bai Fuling "very pitifully".
Bai Fuling pulled him over and said in a low voice: "Promise me one thing, before Yang Heng accomplishes something, don't get too close to him publicly, and help him in private and also pay attention to avoiding others, especially the emperor and other princes." eyes and ears."
Lin Pingzi is a smart person, he has long noticed that the relationship between Yang Heng and the emperor is not as loving and filial as others have seen, so he supported Bai Fuling's words, frowned and said: "Are you afraid that his affairs will repeat?"
Bai Fuling nodded and said: "You and I both know that he will succeed in the end, but I don't know how many difficulties and dangers are still in between. We want to help him, but we can't put ourselves on the line. And he always has to do it." As a man of the emperor, you must not forget his identity, treat him as a friend who can talk about everything and be friends of the same generation... You should be clear about my grandfather's current situation."
Lin Pingzi's face changed and he said: "Yang Heng, he should not be as mean and ungrateful as the emperor..."
"Yang Heng is not a mean and ungrateful person, but in that position, many things cannot be based on his likes and dislikes, and his thoughts will gradually change. If you are so smart, you must understand what I mean." Bai Fuling said lightly. road.
Lin Pingzi nodded silently. He might not understand the thinking of a creature like the emperor, but he never doubted what Bai Fuling said, although he knew she was a little girl who was a little younger than him.
Lu Ying was training the Imperial Forest Army in the West Camp. Bai Fuling left early and didn't have time to inform him. She left a letter of trust for Lin Pingzi to give him, and then waved goodbye to everyone, boarded the car and left.
The carriage passed through the west gate of the capital smoothly, and headed towards Beiguan City in the morning light. Not long after leaving the city gate, several fast horses caught up from behind, and two of the knights ran to the front of the convoy and stopped them, shouting: "Please stay!"
Bai Fuling opened the curtain of the car and saw Yang Heng running to her car on a black horse.
