The capital city in March is full of flowers and a bustling scene.
The front of the Gelao mansion in Baichang Mountain is much cleaner, the horses and carriages that used to come and go are almost gone, more than half of the servants in the mansion have left, and their luggage has been packed properly, and they will leave Beijing just waiting for the imperial decree.
However, there are still some disagreements about where to go.
Bai Changshan wanted to return to his roots and spend his old age in his hometown, but Bai Chou's family business was in Beiguan City, and he planned to sail to sea in the future. On this point, neither of them could convince the other. The children and grandchildren enjoy family happiness together, so they finally decided to live in Beiguan City for a few years, and then make plans if they are not used to it. Anyway, the Bai family has a small population, and even close relatives in their hometown are very few.
Bai Changshan is taking a rest today, he is alone at home, his son and daughter-in-law have all gone to Zhongguo Gongfu. The old lady passed away in her sleep a few days ago, and the two couples were busy with her funeral affairs. He was also an elderly elder, so it was inconvenient for him to participate, so he stayed in the mansion to socialize with some old friends who came to bid farewell.
Under the careful care of her daughter and Fang Hai's careful adjustment, the old lady spent the last moment of her life in a comfortable mood, and went very peacefully. Mu Peilan had already been mentally prepared, so she would not be overly sad.
Bai Changshan saw off the guests, and when he turned around, he saw Bai Cier coming with a letter with a happy face, saying that it was a letter from Miss Sun.
Over the past few days, Bai Fuling's occasional letter has become a major event in the White House. Although the letter is only a report of safety and a few words about the scenery on the road, the family letter is worth ten thousand gold, and Bai Changshan and Bai Chou are still dating each other. hope.
Bai Changshan held the letter for himself in one hand, and the letter for his son and daughter-in-law in the other, and suddenly became unbalanced. How could the letter for his son and daughter-in-law be so thicker than his own
Bai Bier has been with him for many years, and seeing his sour expression, he knew that he was jealous of his son and wife, so he couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Since the old man recognized his son and granddaughter, his expression has become much richer, and in private His temperament is getting closer and closer to that of a child.
As usual, Bai Fuling's letter to his grandfather was to ask about his health, and he said that no matter whether the resignation was successful or not, he should remain calm and not get angry. He also listed a lot of foods suitable for the old man to nourish his body in this season. Ask him to walk more to exercise when he has time, and do more breathing and exhalation methods taught by his father Bai Chou. Although he is not expected to become a generation of martial arts masters late bloomer, at least he can strengthen his body and prolong his life.
Bai Changshan couldn't get enough of it by himself, so he dragged a few old family members over to read it together, wishing he could post the letter at the gate of the city, so that everyone in the capital would know how filial and lovely he was.
Because the Bai Chou and his wife lived in the Duke's Mansion for the past few days, the letter to them was delivered directly to them. Also reading the letter, the mood of the Bai Chou and his wife was very different from that of their father.
In the letter, Bai Fuling said that she was plotted against by people from the Demon Cult on the road, and was rescued by Haifushi. There was a treasure incident in Pingzhou, and all forces in the martial arts gathered. They had a large number of people and a big goal, so they had to let Bai Guo, Bai Shisan and others escort them first. Back to Baili Mountain with my luggage, I will be protected by sea pumice, and I will go back one step later, and I will do everything possible to ensure that I will return safe and sound, so that my parents should not be too nervous, let alone act impulsively, and deal with the affairs of the capital first. Just make a plan and so on.
Because he was afraid that the letter would have any accidents or be opened by outsiders, the wording of the letter was very careful, and he didn't mention a word about Hai Pumice, only implying that Hai Pumice brought her this time because of his identity as the leader of the martial arts. What will be done against her.
But how could the Bai Ugly couple be at ease
Thinking that his beloved baby fell into the hands of the big devil, who had been coveting their baby daughter all the time. He was lonely and widowed along the way. If he took the opportunity to do something unbearable to their daughter, this big How about? !
No one expected that their "young, ignorant, pure and weak" daughter would be the first to stretch out her claws...
The letter was full of urgings to tell Grandpa to hide this from her in advance, so that he would not have to worry about her at such an old age. After discussing with her, the two couples decided that after Mu Peilan's mother's funeral was over, Bai Chou would leave first to look for Bai Fuling. Mu Peilan stayed in the capital with Bai Changshan to wait for Enzhun's order to become an official, and left later. She didn't tell Bai Changshan about this, but said that something happened to the Bai family's business, and she had to deal with it first, and then meet them on the way back.
Lin Pingzi knew about this, so he wanted to go with Bai Chou without saying a word: "Anyway, I'm just a duke in the capital, and I don't need to do anything. That guy Haifushi is a big villain, so my cousin will be fine with him." People have nothing to do and they have to be implicated by him."
He didn't know that Hai Pumice and Kansui were the same person, he only knew that Hai Pumice was extremely murderous, and it would be inappropriate for ordinary people to get in touch with him too much, especially with Bai Fuling's face, he would die young, God knows if Hai Pumice would Will it be her doom
But he didn't dare to tell the Bai Chou couple about this point, for fear of making them even more worried.
Bai Chou thought for a while, but shook his head and refused. Of course, he also hoped to have a few more trustworthy people to help, but it is really inconvenient for too many people to know the identity of Haifushi, otherwise these people may be silenced by him, and this matter is still up to them It's better for couples to figure it out on their own.
"Linglong Pavilion and many other businesses in the capital are counting on you, so you can stay in the capital. Since Haifushi wants to marry Ling'er, he will never put her in danger. He is different from Ling'er. That's all there is to it, now I'm going to bring Ling'er back, and he won't refuse no matter what the reason is, it's not too difficult, you can stay in the capital with peace of mind." Bai Chou said insincerely.
Lin Pingzi heard this but couldn't find a reason to refute it. Hai Pumice, as the leader of the martial arts alliance, set an example for Bai Dao and martial arts in every word and deed. Go, there is really nothing to worry about.
Others don't know the details of Bai Chou, but they, the core members of the Bai family, know very well that Qiufeng Pavilion's number one master back then, even if he only has half of his skill left now, is no small matter, and it is more than enough to protect Bai Fuling.
So Lin Pingzi didn't talk any more, and nodded to accept Bai Chou's arrangement.
"You have to be more careful about His Highness the Sixth Highness, and take care of yourself first." Bai Chou thought that he was about to leave, so he confessed.
It was a secret that Lin Pingzi worked for Yang Heng in private, he didn't tell anyone, he didn't expect Bai Chou to know, he couldn't help scratching his head embarrassingly: "Uncle, how do you know?"
Bai Chou laughed and said: "I also watched you grow up, how could you hide this little trick from me? The Sixth Highness is indeed extraordinary, but the situation is not clear now, and the emperor will never easily arrange it for more than 20 years. Handing over the power that has just been obtained, he is the most ruthless person, even close relatives can do it when necessary, just look at how he deals with the eldest prince and Mao Xia's family. No matter what the future holds, the present is to protect himself Most important."
"I see. Uncle, don't worry. I'll be fine. There are so many people in the Bai family in the capital. If I get involved, I'll be ashamed to see you." Lin Pingzi nodded solemnly. Bai Fuling's temperament has never been that she can't make money, and if her family suffers a little loss, she will be terribly sad. Give him ten guts, and he wouldn't dare to take risks.
In fact, what Lin Pingzi did for Yang Heng was nothing more than collecting information and observing the situation of the court ministers from the sidelines, and did not involve his core affairs. It is of course ideal for Yang Heng to ascend the throne and become emperor, but he can't risk his life just because he wants to help him. Lin Pingzi knows this principle well.
In the next few days, Bai Chou and his wife finished the funeral of the old lady, and according to the plan, Bai Chou left Beijing first to find Bai Fuling. They have mobilized all the power of Qianxiao Tower in the past few days, and roughly found Haifushi Fortunately, Hai Pumice went on patrol as the leader of the martial arts, and did not hide his whereabouts.
Bai Chou gathered a few capable men and immediately headed for Kangzhou, where the headquarters of the Wulin League is located.
On the other side, Yang Heng also received news that Hai Pumice, the leader of the martial arts alliance, brought his fiancée to a high-profile appearance, and this fiancée seemed to be Bai Fuling, the granddaughter of Bai Gelao.
Yang Heng sat in the study and looked at the briefing, unable to recover for a long time. He always thought that Bai Fuling was still young and he had enough time, but in the end, they were only separated for two or three months, and she had already become the fiancée of his mysterious brother...
Haifushi met Bai Fuling on the way to Beijing, and even after Bai Fuling came to Beijing, the two met alone. He knew all this, but he did not expect that Bai Fuling would meet Haifushi After the marriage alliance was concluded, the news he got was that the Bai family and even Bai Fuling himself did not intend to have anything to do with Haifushi.
Any parent would not feel at ease handing over their daughter to such a big devil!
Yang Heng is one of the few people who knows the identity of Haifushi. When he was young, his mother mentioned to him that he had such an elder brother. He also had some contact with Haifushi. Mu Peilan used to be the head of Tsing Yi Wei Liu, so it is impossible not to know the details of Haifushi, so he has always been at ease, thinking that although this brother is excellent, he will never be inferior to him, but because the Bai family does not want to get into trouble, Definitely won't have anything to do with him.
result…
Is he too careless? Or is there something about sea pumice that can impress that tricky little villain? Or... something else
Yang Heng stood up and walked a few steps back and forth in the study room. He knew very well that now was not the time to get entangled in the private affairs of his children. His father had already started to be wary of him. If he was smart, he should put all his energy on dealing with the serious business , but Bai Fuling's voice and smile uncontrollably came to mind frequently.
He felt that he had to ask that little villain himself, even if the opponent was his elder brother, he would never give up.
