This was the only way Bai Fuling could think of to reduce casualties.
Everyone in the hall was in an uproar, but Bai Fuling ignored them, and said bluntly to Guimu: "We have already restrained the foreign enemy in Guijiu, I don't know if you are with her, but for safety, please don't follow her." By my side, leave it to you to decide.”
After speaking, he brought Bai A'er to Haifushi's dormitory in a hurry.
Guimu was startled slightly, but did not follow.
Bai Ah'er carefully inspected the room and made sure that no one was hiding, so he guarded outside the house. Bai Fuling closed all the doors and windows, went to the ancient shelf, turned the vases one by one in the order he remembered, and opened the entrance of the secret room. After entering the tunnel, Yang He told Bai Ah'er to leave, and then closed the tunnel door.
The oil lamp in his hand was dim, Bai Fuling held the oil lamp in one hand, and walked down the stairs to the secret room step by step, holding a basket containing water and snacks in the other.
The little lihua lying on her shoulders might have sensed her master's nervousness, so she rubbed against her obediently, and meowed a few times, as if to cheer her up.
There was a living creature by her side, and this living creature was a fierce and vicious cat who could protect her, Bai Fuling felt much more at ease.
The things in the secret room were still the same as when they left last time. Bai Fuling knew that there was a large jar of lamp oil in the corner, so she felt relieved to let all the candles in the secret room be lit, and use the lights to calm her restless heart.
Little Lihua found that there was no danger nearby, so she flicked her tail and jumped onto the table to doze off. Bai Fuling sat for a while and got bored, not knowing what was going on outside, so she decided to look through her "betrothal gifts" to pass the time.
The tokens of the Martial Arts League and the Devil's Cult, martial arts cheats, or elixirs didn't appeal to her much. Her goal was the two boxes at the bottom of the shelf.
However, the moment she opened the box on the left, she was stunned, and she could hardly believe her eyes—the box was empty, and there was nothing in it!
She quickly reached out to open the box on the right, but it was still empty!
Bai Fuling's feet went limp, and she sat down on the ground.
What about those things? Where are Gan Qinglan's belongings and the jewelry she left for her daughter-in-law? !
Bai Fuling didn't dare to think about it, she stood up on the shelf, and almost masochistically took down the two boxes that were supposed to contain the tokens of the Wulin League and the Devil's Cult, and opened them one by one with the techniques she had learned before, but they were still empty. thing.
The bottles and cans on the shelves are all empty, and the books are all blank sheets of paper.
She has been waiting for an answer, and it turns out that the answer has already been waiting here...
It is impossible for others to enter this secret room easily, and it is even more impossible to take things away without disturbing the sea pumice.
After Haifushi left, her people kept a close watch on the place, even ghost sockets and ghost eyes couldn't get close easily, let alone open the secret room and move things out of it.
The only person who can empty this place is Sea Pumice!
When she blamed herself for failing to live up to his affection, when she insisted on going her own way in order to protect her dowry, when she knew she was being used but still gritted her teeth, it turned out that Sea Pumice had quietly taken back everything.
It turned out that all of this was just a scam, and her so-called guilt and persistence had become a big joke!
When he pretended to be blindfolded and insisted that she reset the opening sequence of the secret room mechanism, and she foolishly kept everything as it was, did he secretly laugh at her naivety and stupidity in his heart
If she hadn't known in advance that Tsing Yiwei was coming to attack the mountain in a big way, and if she hadn't found out that Guijiu was a spy, if she hadn't prepared the way for everyone in the Bai family to retreat, what would be her situation now
Maybe she will fall into the hands of Guijiu, maybe the guards and maids of the Bai family will be besieged and killed by the Tsing Yiwei people in order to save her... This is the result of her recklessness, stubbornness and self-righteousness!
Thousands of thoughts came to her mind, she sat on the chair by the table, staring blankly at the two empty boxes in front of her, not knowing whether she should laugh or cry.
It is not good? This answer was simply beyond her imagination, she could give up completely, and no longer need to have any shit guilt, all the hellish affection could be written off, and disappeared from now on.
She should laugh three times in congratulations!
But her heart hurts very much, like being pierced severely by someone with an extremely sharp knife, and then slowly shredded bit by bit.
It wasn't until this moment that she really realized that she cared more about sea pumice than she thought.
From the moment she vaguely guessed that Sea Pumice was using her, she was secretly sad, but she kept deceiving herself, telling herself not to care, and it happened that he gave her the opportunity and excuse to turn around and leave gracefully.
After Haifushi left, she never entered his room again, let alone opened the secret room privately. The reason on the surface was that there were many people in Zhengqi courtyard, and people found out that she was able to open the secret room. Come, maybe she subconsciously has a premonition that here is the answer that she has been claiming to wait for, but actually dare not face.
She has always thought too well of Sea Pumice, overestimated his affection for her, and thought too narcissistically that he would not really hurt her, so she tried her best not to doubt or think too much, until now the facts were in front of her eyes.
inevitable...
Could it be someone else did it? Is there any misunderstanding in this? A faint voice in my heart struggled.
If someone else knew how to open this secret room and stole the contents silently, she would be in a very dangerous situation now. This person might also open the secret room for Tsing Yi Wei and capture her to present to the emperor!
Bai Fuling's heart shrank, but she wasn't really too panicked.
She was sad to find that she would rather be caught than cheated.
She sat there blankly, I don't know how long it has passed, maybe it was an hour, maybe a day, she didn't shed a single tear, and she couldn't squeeze a smile, even when the lamp oil ran out and the whole secret room was plunged into darkness, she couldn't see anything. felt.
In the darkness, Little Lihua suddenly jumped up from the table, arched her body and let out a sharp cry.
someone is coming! Bai Fuling woke up in shock. The person who could enter this secret room... who would it be
Bai Fuling exhausted all her strength and slowly raised her head. In the darkness, a dim light came in from the entrance of the secret room, and a familiar figure slowly appeared in front of her eyes accompanied by the light.
Under the shadow of the lamp, his handsome face was clearly defined, like a perfect and cold work of art, and the simple and simple coarse clothes on his body could not conceal his radiance.
Bai Fuling couldn't see the light, she just felt black in front of her eyes, like falling into an ice cave.
It really was him! Sure enough, he always knew that she hadn't changed the way to open the secret room! It's just that there is nothing valuable to him here, so why is he here? !
The faint voice in my heart sounded again: He was always concerned about her safety, so he came to see her specially, always thinking about forcing him out, and now he succeeded! He finally showed up for her!
enough! Annoyed, Bai Fuling squeezed out the weak voice, picked up the little raccoon flower and walked slowly towards the pumice stone.
Her expression was calm and firm, Hai Pumice actually felt unable to look directly into her eyes.
She didn't stop, and slowly brushed past the sea pumice, her soft voice seemed hollow and cold in the secret room: "Since you have withdrawn the betrothal gift, we have nothing to do with you anymore, I don't want to see you again."
Haifushi's expression changed, and he reached out his hand to grab her, but he just raised his hand and put it down. He wanted to keep him, but he didn't know what to say to make her forgive him.
Outside the secret room, it was already daylight, Bai A'er was guarding outside, when he saw Bai Fuling, he came up to meet him, and said cheerfully: "Miss is out!"
Bai Fuling looked at him with a blank smile, and said, "Take me down the mountain, I want to go home!"
Bai Ah'er went in without knowing it, but he still carried her on his back and went down the mountain quickly.
There was a fierce battle in the Wulin League last night, and it was still in a mess. Bai Fuling didn't want to pay attention to others, so she asked Bai A'er to use lightness kung fu to avoid the martial arts people in the villa, and went all the way to Yecheng.
The Bai family has their own set of contact methods, but after half a day, the Qianxiaolou spy who has been staying in Jianye City in charge of responding to the message has sent news of the other guards and maids of the Bai family. Without stopping, go straight to Beiguancheng.
Bai Fuling didn't ask Bai A'er about the battle situation last night, she didn't want to hear anything related to Haifushi now.
Because she was afraid that the emperor would continue to send people to arrest her, she ordered Qianxiaolou's spies to inquire about the news, while speeding up the journey.
Fortunately, in the first battle of the Wulin League, several leaders of the Tsingyi Guards fell into the hands of the Wulin League. Haifushi detained them, and they could not command and inform other subordinates to continue chasing Bai Fuling and his party, so there was no danger along the way. The snowy road was difficult, but it still entered the Yongzhou boundary where Beiguan City was located in early December.
This is the territory of the Bai family, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Bai Chou had already got the letter and brought someone to pick it up, Bai Fuling threw herself into his father's arms, tears fell down uncontrollably, scaring Bai Chou enough.
My daughter is stubborn, and she seldom sheds tears. The couple held her in their palms since they were young, fearing that she would be wronged and hurt, and never gave her a chance to cry. Why did they cry like this when they came home early this time? !
Bai Chou walked into the inn with his daughter in his arms, and looked around at the other guards and maids who came back with her. They also didn't quite understand, so he patted his daughter on the shoulder and said softly, "Ling'er, don't cry, don't cry, what happened?" What's the matter? Who bullied you? Tell Dad, Dad will vent your anger on you!"
Bai Fuling leaned into his arms and shook her head, sobbing and said: "I miss my parents, grandpa and younger brother, I really miss it!"
"Hey! What's the point of crying? Be good, don't cry, if you cry again, you'll turn into a cat with a face!" Bai Chou's words to coax his daughter have been like a day for more than ten years, without creativity, but they are warm to Bai Fuling's ears Very.
But the little Lihua next to him heard him mention the word "cat", and meowed loudly and cooperatively a few times, which immediately made Bai Fuling laugh out of tears.
