As soon as the parents and grandpa left, the Zhengqi courtyard suddenly became deserted. In fact, the three of them were not noisy people, but with them, Bai Fuling always felt safe and happy no matter where she was.
Winter is approaching, and snowflakes start to fall in the sky. Sometimes Bai Fuling sits by the window and looks at the whiteness of the yard, feeling extremely lonely. People like her who are well-clothed, well-fed, and surrounded by slaves find it difficult to wait for such a boring time. I really don’t understand how Wang Baochuan survived the eighteen years of staying in the cold kiln, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they all wait. It's a jerk man!
During the waiting days, Wang Baochuan didn't know that her husband had taken another princess outside, but she clearly knew that Haifushi was using her. Rather than waiting for an answer, it was better to wait for a reason, a reason to give up her heart , a reason for her to leave without any worries.
After all, she watched coldly from beginning to end, waiting for Haifushi to make a mistake, waiting for Haifushi to change his mind, waiting for her chance to break up with him in an open and honest manner. The only thing she loves most is herself.
Such a self is really selfish and hateful! But her life is too short to bear too much responsibility and love, so it's like this...
The days in the Zhengqi Academy were so peaceful that people could forget the passage of time. In October, there was still no news about Haifushi, but Bai Fuling could still guess his general whereabouts from some major events that happened recently.
Wuyun Sect, Feiqiong Palace and other sects who secretly took refuge in the emperor that day and forced Haifushi to come forward to fight the Demon Sect were successively retaliated by the Demon Sect. , The methods of the Demon Cult are extremely bloody, and if you don't do anything, you will be killed. Every time you take action, no one will be left alive. Since July, thousands of people have died in the bloodbath of the Demon Cult.
Everyone in the martial arts league is in danger and wants to unite to fight together, but the members of the Demon Sect are very slippery, coming and going without a trace. If they want to organize to attack the Demon Sect main altar, Gan Sui's junior brother Cao Zi speaks out , the Demon Sect is ready to give up the main altar at any time, but as long as any sect participates in this matter, it is ready to accept the endless pursuit and revenge from the Demon Sect.
The various Baidao sects who were eager to try saw the heavy losses of the Wuyunmen and other sects, and stopped talking about attacking the Demon Sect. The Martial Arts League had also discussed to elect a hero who has the strength to call on all sects to join hands and is highly respected as the leader of the alliance. The first thing that came to mind was the former leader Chi Diyu, but this Chi Diyu said he couldn't get sick.
I also found a few people who met the requirements, but still no one was willing to come forward. In addition to martial arts, those who can become veterans in the arena are also very clever. On that day, Wuyunmen and Feiqiong Palace joined forces to use the power of the third prince to force and coax Bai Fuling to admit the news of Haifushi's death. In the end, Bai Fuling made it up The disgraceful story has spread throughout the martial arts world. Everyone may not fully believe Bai Fuling's words that Haifushi is not dead, but they smell something unusual from it.
Bai Fuling is young and a girl, so it can be said that she is infatuated for a while, but her grandfather is the famous chief assistant Bai Changshan, and he actually let his only granddaughter stay in the Wulin League. Dare to drive and offend at will, what does this mean
Either the sea pumice is really not dead, or a certain powerful force is leading and supporting Bai Fuling's behavior behind the scenes. The purpose is not clear yet, but this is enough.
At this time, is it worth it to fight to the death with lunatic demon cult monsters for the title of "representative leader"? Bleeding and sweating to the end, most of them are making wedding clothes for others, and only fools will do it.
Wuyunmen and others were forced to have no choice but to close all the sub-rudders, recall all the disciples and important figures scattered outside, guard the mountain gate tightly, and wait and see what happened.
Now they are so regretful that their intestines are turning green. They hurriedly took refuge in the emperor thinking that they would be able to make a fortune from now on. They didn't expect that the benefits would not be rewarded, but they would cause such a catastrophe. They sheltered and helped them, and let them fend for themselves, facing the terrible revenge of the demon sect.
What is this all about? !
The Devil's Cult's retaliatory actions are very smart and targeted. They only deal with the few sects who led the attack on the Demon Cult's main altar last time. The determination to stand on the sidelines and never intervene.
Fortunately, while the Demon Sect was aggressively attacking the Baidao Sect, internal strife continued. A few unruly elders frequently dragged their feet, and Wuyunmen and others had a chance to breathe.
I don't know if it's because Haifushi was too busy organizing the demon sect behind the scenes to take revenge and eradicate dissidents in the martial arts alliance, so he didn't have time to continue to prescribe medicine to the emperor. The prince goes to the palace every day to show courteousness, hoping to win the favor of the emperor and become a legitimate successor.
Yang Heng didn't seem to care about the things in the capital, and wrote a memorial stating that the disaster on both sides of the Ning'an River was serious. He asked himself to stay in the area of the Ning'an River to provide disaster relief and help the poor people who were displaced. To avoid similar tragedies from happening again.
The imperial court could not provide enough relief money and food, so Yang Heng took people to borrow funds from nearby prefectures and counties that were not affected by the famine. His whereabouts were even more erratic than that of demons. The imperial envoy sent by the emperor to urge him to return to Beijing chased him two or three times. Yue couldn't catch up, and the imperial edict couldn't be delivered to him.
The emperor wanted to instigate the officials to impeach Yang Heng for refusing to return to Beijing because of his serious illness, but Yang Heng sent people to Beijing with great fanfare to present a memorial to the crime earlier, talking about the blood and tears of the people in Ning'an River, saying that he could not wait for it. I put on my wings and flew back to the capital to wait on my father before he fell ill, but seeing the people in dire straits, and thinking of my father's daily teachings that we should put all the people first, so I stayed in Ning'an River with tears in my eyes and continued the disaster relief work, in order to show my respect for my father Due to his filial piety and guilt, he decided to become a vegetarian and burn incense every day, and recited and copied Buddhist scriptures a hundred times to pray for the health of his father.
The memorial was written with sincerity, and secretly sent people to spread it around, making it known to everyone in the capital. The people praised Yang Heng for his benevolence and filial piety. The emperor couldn't bear to force him to return to Beijing. This kid left the capital, and now he wants to regain control, how easy is it? !
The emperor thought about it during his illness, coupled with all the movements in the world and Yang Heng's actions, he already knew that he had been fooled by his two sons, but now he couldn't spare his energy to deal with the two unworthy sons. up.
The few princes who stayed in the capital were all looking forward to his throne, and their small tricks were refurbished day by day. Taking advantage of his illness and being unable to take charge of the government, they wooed ministers everywhere openly and secretly. , the imperial court couldn't even provide the military pay for countering the rebellion, and the emperor was irritated hearing these disturbing bad news every day.
His condition was ups and downs but did not get better. The imperial doctors tried their best to alleviate it, but they could not cure it. The disease was so strange that the emperor secretly suspected that it was Gan Sui's hands and feet, but he had clearly taken precautions against it. There were also poison experts in the Tsing Yi Guards, but no one saw any signs of poisoning in him.
The emperor was in better spirits that day, and Wang Songhe, head of the six guards in Tsing Yi, secretly went to the palace to report that the third prince had secretly contacted Wuyunmen, Feiqiong Palace and other sects in an attempt to scare away Bai Fuling's failure to seek the throne of the martial arts leader.
"Idiot! I gave birth to such an idiot!" The emperor cursed bitterly after hearing this, but soon stretched his brows and laughed loudly: "How did I forget this girl? To deal with those two rebellious sons, there is this The little girl is enough!"
Wang Songhe hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Your Majesty, the granddaughter of Mr. Baige?"
The emperor laughed so happily that his swollen body trembled violently. Suddenly, he felt an uncontrollable heat flow from his body, his pants and bedding were soaked, and there was a smell of urine, and he even incontinently urinated on the bed.
The emperor's face turned ashen-white for a while, and then turned into the color of pig liver. He slapped the dragon bed hard, and hissed violently: "Get out! Get out! Get out immediately!"
Before Wang Songhe realized what had happened, he was so frightened that he left the palace in a hurry. He heard the emperor's scolding vaguely when he stood outside the door, and saw the eunuchs and maids rushing in to serve him. He slowly recalled the scene just now, and then he woke up When I came over, I was unlucky enough to run into the most indecent scene of the emperor, and I broke out in a cold sweat from fright.
He stood outside the bedroom for an unknown amount of time, when the cold wind blew, and he felt his heart was about to freeze, when suddenly he saw Eunuch Lei come out and said with a wooden face: "The emperor has passed on the Lord Wang to see him."
Wang Songhe tried his best to adjust his facial expression to make himself look respectful and serious, just like usual, he gritted his teeth and followed Lei Gonggong back into the bedroom.
The incense in the bedroom was much stronger, as if trying to cover up some indecent smell, the earth dragon was burning extremely vigorously, Wang Songhe only felt stuffy for a while, and tried to keep calm and knelt down to salute.
There was a screen in front of him, and he couldn't see the emperor, but he heard the emperor's cold and gloomy voice as if it came from the Nine Layers of Hell: "Go and order Tsing Yiwei to mobilize three thousand elite secret routes to sneak into the headquarters of the Wulin League. The price is that the little girl must be captured alive in the capital. If this mission fails... you know the rules of the Tsing Yi Guards, and you masters of the Tsing Yi Guards will never have to come to see me again!"
Wang Song and the other dared not say more, bowed their heads and took orders to leave.
The remaining emperor gritted his teeth and sat in the newly changed quilt, sneering: "Don't you two rebels like that girl very much? Let's see what you will do when you know that this girl is in my hands."
He has no other way, he needs a bargaining chip, a bargaining chip that can let his two sons who are too powerful sit down with him to negotiate, push themselves to others, he doesn't think they will give up their long-planned plan for a mere woman, but if If he uses this bargaining chip well, he may be able to destroy the alliance between the two sons, so that he has a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Even if the two sons' affectionate attachment to Bai Fuling was just a show for him, they must have some kind of true affection for her. Which man can be completely unmoved by such a stunning beauty
The most urgent task is to let Xiao Mi detoxify and cure his illness, as for Xiao Liu... maybe he will suffer some losses! The emperor deliberated on the details of the relationship between Yang Heng and Gan Sui using Bai Fuling to sow discord, with a sinister smile on his lips.
Bai Fuling didn't know that the emperor had already set his mind on her. Ever since her mother became pregnant, she had become more generous in doing good deeds—the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had already shown her sincerity, so she naturally had to do something in return.
Whether it is for the children in the womb of the mother, or for the safety and prosperity of the parents and grandfather, she wrote a letter asking Baishanglu to allocate the bonus that belongs to her family this year, and part of it will be used to buy suitable families for the victims of the Bai family. Some of the slaves are used to mobilize manpower and supplies to open a new training base nearby to house and train these people, and the rest are handed over to the Jizuotang to relieve ordinary victims of disasters.
Yue Laosi heard that Bai Fuling gave them a large sum of money to help the poor people who were displaced by the flood and had no food and clothing. His eyes turned red and he praised her bodhisattva heart again and again.
Bai Fuling knew her own business. If it wasn't for some purpose, she would not care about other people's life and death at all. She felt blushed after listening to Yue Laosi's words, so she smiled and changed the subject: "Now the court sent It was His Highness the Sixth Highness who went to provide disaster relief, I know that the Hall of Relief and Relief has always disliked dealing with court officials and nobles of the royal family, but since the purpose is the same, they are all for the relief of the needy, so it is okay to cooperate occasionally."
Old Fourth Yue snorted: "How many of those people in the imperial court from top to bottom would really take the common people seriously? It's all just for fame!"
"Since he wants to make a name for himself, he naturally doesn't want to mess up the matter and discredit himself. It is impossible for the people in the relief hall to stay in the disaster area forever. The disaster victims will be governed by the government in the future. Even if there is a local government, they dare not offend If you are around, you can supervise in secret, and if you find something unfair and unreasonable, explain it to His Highness the Sixth Highness, and it will be much more convenient and safe for him to solve it once and for all." Bai Fuling did not deny that she was actually trying to help Yang Heng I just hope that he will really become a king and overlord in the future, and he can take care of her relatives and friends more, and at the very least, don't bother her family members.
Fourth Yue knew that what Bai Fuling said was reasonable, so he nodded and agreed.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. On October 29th, the letter from Bai Chou and his wife was delivered. Along with the letter came a few important people who Bai Fuling had urgently recruited from Baili Mountain. A kind of bird trainer who calls birds, a craftsman who is good at duplicating all kinds of secret documents, and a secret agent of Qiufeng Pavilion who is good at deciphering code words.
Bai Guo didn't understand why Bai Fuling had to work hard to steal the letter secretly sent by Podojiu. Since he knew that Haifushi was not dead and that he would show up sooner or later, why was he wasting his energy to monitor Podojiu? Just ask her directly.
Bai Fuling didn't know why she did this, but she felt that the secret letter sent by Podojiu in the middle of the night was not simple, and it seemed to have too ingenious connection with certain things, and she even suspected that those letters were most likely not sent to Haifushi .
Especially recently, Bai Shao's secret surveillance has seen Podojiru look suspicious more than once.
Ordinarily, Podojiu and Onimu are trusted henchmen sent by Haifushi, so there is no reason why Podojiu should handle everything alone, there must be some weirdness in it.
On the surface, Bai Fuling only treated the three of them as ordinary servants delivering letters, and let Bai Ah Wu take them down to resettle them, while she sat in the room and read the letters from home.
The letter was written by Bai Chou, saying that they were about to reach Baili Mountain, and they had a safe journey. They happened to meet several Bai family members who were going to the headquarters of the Wulin League head-on, so they asked them to deliver the letter. It was mentioned that the year when Lu Ying left Beiguan City, the barbarians seemed to be quite peaceful, probably because the battle before Lu Ying's departure shocked many of the barbarians, and many of the barbarian leaders who liked to harass and invade Beiguan City They all died in that sweep, and the clan was in chaos, so there was no time to trouble Beiguan City for the time being.
Under the management of Baishanglu, Tongcai Dental Shop has made a lot of money this year. They are all hands-off shopkeepers, and they sit and receive the huge wealth earned by Baishanglu every year. I am really ashamed to say it, but my daughter personally selected it. Niu Ma and the others are very relieved that no matter how hard or tired Bai Shanglu is, he will continue to work hard to make money for them.
In addition, father Bai Changshan looked at the gradually desolate scenery and the bandits and refugees who often appeared all the way. He often shook his head and sighed. He probably thought that there would be no good places in the border land. He recently entered the Yongzhou land where Beiguan City is located. However, the towns he passed on the road were bustling and bustling one by one, which surprised him. He must have been even more surprised to see Baili Mountain and their fairyland-like home.
Bai Chou's letter is written here, and there is a sense of self-satisfaction between the lines. Bai Fuling can't help smiling... She also misses that beautiful and warm home very much. I don't know when she can go back
Waking up early the next morning, Bai Guo with a serious face brought the Qiufeng Pavilion spy who was good at deciphering codes, while Bai Shao didn't say a word and ordered Bai A Wu and others to guard around Bai Fuling's room.
Seeing this battle, Bai Fuling knew something was wrong.
The secret agent of the Qiufeng Pavilion was named Bai Ying, and he took out a small roll of paper from his pocket and handed it to Bai Fuling, "This is a secret letter that Ge Man intercepted last night and sent in from outside. The code word for sending the letter means that they will arrive within three days, and the person who wants to receive the letter should inform the staff of the guards in the Zhengqi courtyard as soon as possible. In addition, it is best to find out where the tokens of the Wulin League and the Demon Sect are hidden. , Is there a chance to restrain you, Miss, and we should cooperate internally and externally to complete the task. Basil has copied the intact sealed letter, let the carrier pigeon continue to carry the letter."
Ge Man is the name of the master who is good at trapping pigeons, and Basil is the craftsman who is good at imitating sealed letters.
Bai Guo went on to say: "Sister Bai Shao saw it clearly, the recipient is Pujiu! I didn't expect that she is the emperor's spy!"
Bai Fuling didn't expect that they would dig up such fierce news for the first time. This letter alone was enough to let them know that the emperor was going to deal with her. The reason nineteen was related to Hai Pumice and Yang Heng. It's really not an ordinary trouble to be a royal child like this!
Now the danger is imminent. According to the information obtained these days, the emperor will think of dealing with her thousands of miles away. There are only two reasons. One is that he has no other way, and the other is that he is seriously ill and time does not allow him Continue to fight with Yang Heng and Haifushi.
Under such circumstances, it is conceivable that the emperor's attack this time must be astonishing, and he will never stop until he achieves his goal. Although the location of the Zhengqi Academy is dangerous, with the more than fifty elite guards of the Bai family here, if they can't defend it, it won't be a problem to last for three to five days.
During this period of time, it is enough for people from the nearby martial arts league to hear the news and come to help, but the damage to the guards of the Bai family is unavoidable, and many people may die in this battle. This is a loss that Bai Fuling is absolutely unwilling to bear .
Judging from the tone of the secret letter, the emperor didn't seem to want to make it clear, otherwise he wouldn't have said anything about cooperation between the inside and the outside, as long as he sent an imperial envoy to order her to go to Beijing. But thinking about her as the daughter of a minister's family, it would be very difficult for the emperor to find an honest reason to summon her to Beijing alone. Once she did so, she would attract a lot of attention, and it would be very inconvenient for the emperor to use her to do anything. .
The best way is of course to send someone to take her captive. Even if she disappears or even dies at that time, it will not damage the emperor's reputation.
Now how to do? The easiest way is to notify the people of the Wulin League to prepare in advance. Since the emperor is unwilling to call her to the capital publicly, the people sent must also hide the identity of Tsing Yi Wei. , then she can take her guards to stay safely on Zhaixing Ridge and watch the people of the Wulin League close the door and beat the dog.
But after that
She doesn't think the emperor will let it go, there will be endless troubles... Her time is precious, she doesn't want to waste these troubles and foolishly waiting for the sea pumice to appear, take advantage of this time, let's stop it completely!
It would be best if he could force the sea pumice out, if not, if he still wants to use her thoroughly... Since he is ruthless, don't blame her for being ungrateful!
In the cellar of a small restaurant in Jianye City, two other people were also discussing how to deal with the attack of Tsing Yi Wei.
"Brother, did you know that there was something wrong with Podojiu, so you deliberately left her with my sister-in-law?" Zicaodi asked, sitting cross-legged on the pile of rice bags, with a disapproving expression on her face.
"So what?" Haifushi casually played with the small white wooden plaque and black jade seal in his hand, these two small things are the tokens of the Martial Arts League and the Demon Cult.
"Have you ever thought about what you would do if the emperor's people really caught her?" Zicao looked a little angry.
"Didn't I tell you earlier, the guards around her are not weak in martial arts, and they are devoted to her, and they will definitely not let her fall into the hands of others so easily. And as long as Lian Jiang and the others are mixed with the Tsingyi Guards, those damned people from the Wulin League The killing is almost done, and I will take people to rescue. The terrain of Zhaxing Ridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is only a moment, she will not be in trouble." Hai Pumice stuffed the two tokens into his arms, and his tone was too much A bit irritated, I don't know whether to persuade Zicao or to convince myself after some straightforward rhetoric.
