Tianhuang nobleman

Shunzi was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what happened before, he looked at Cen Chaoge and then at Xixiang, and said dumbly: "What is he talking about? Isn't he from Lingnan? He returned to Lingnan?"

Xixiang was suffering and couldn't tell, what happened, even if he was eloquent, he couldn't explain anything, Xixiang looked at Bairen anxiously...

Bai Ren looked at Cen Chaoge firmly, and understood in just a moment, why Cen Chaoge could find a way back to Lingnan, why Qi Xiao didn't want to marry Roujia for his own sake, why Qi Xiao took a fancy to him...

Cen Chaoge seems to have grasped at straws. The matter of leaving his white blade and going back to Lingnan alone has always been a heart problem for him. Every time he thinks about it, he feels ashamed and regretful. Now that he finally seizes the opportunity to cleanse himself, how could Cen Chaoge let go? Climbing over staggeringly, clutching Bairen's clothes tightly, he kept repeating: "Bairen...you saw it, did you understand? This is all set up by the prince. He deliberately killed you in order to deceive you. I, even made Rou Jia marry far away here..."

Bai Ren looked down at Cen Chaoge, raised his hand and slapped Cen Chaoge hard on the face with a "slap" sound!

"He set it up?" Bai Ren grabbed Cen Chaoge's lapel, looked into his eyes coldly, and paused every word, "Then, why did you drill?"

Cen Chaoge was like a duck being pinched by the neck, he was speechless for a while, and said in a panic for a while: "I... I have no choice, I want to go back to Lingnan... Didn't you just say that I belong to the Cen family? My only son, I can't die! Besides... Bai Ren, didn't you commit yourself to the crown prince just to save your life? You don't have to worry about firewood to keep the green hills. Since you understand this truth, why can't you understand me?"

Bai Ren couldn't help laughing, with tears in his eyes, he said with a smile: "Yes... I came to the imperial city, you say I am here to save my life, and I commit myself to the prince, but you still say I am here to save my life, haha... the prince's suffering , I understand now..."

Bai Ren pushed Cen Chaoge away, and said with a sneer, "You can say whatever you want." Bai Ren turned to look at Shun Zi: "He knows too much, take care of him, don't beat him, don't starve He can be considered as a comfort to the spirit of Wenxiang Zaitian."

Xixiang nodded, pulled out a piece of hemp rope from his sleeve, stepped forward and tied Cen Chaoge, and Cen Chaoge wanted to yell again, Shunzi picked up a piece of filial cloth, rubbed it, stuffed it into Cen Chaoge's mouth, and twisted him out of the hall , I went to find a proper place.

Xixiang felt uneasy, and stepped forward to explain intermittently: "Your Highness...it's not what you think. At that time, the prince, the prince..."

"My lord, there is no need to talk." Bai Ren rubbed his forehead tiredly, and said in a deep voice, "I don't have the heart to think about these things now... My lord, let's go, and bring the letter to His Highness, it is a great achievement, and... My lord Don't worry, Chaoge... I will watch him, and I won't let him see anyone until the matter is over. "

Seeing that Bai Ren can clearly distinguish the severity, Xixiang felt relieved, and said in a low voice: "In any case... the prince really loves you, you know best, the prince, what happened in the past... let the prince talk to the prince in detail, now Nothing can be delayed, the slave will leave first."

Bai Ren was deeply saddened, will I elaborate on it later?I hope... I hope that in the future, I will have the opportunity to sit with Qi Xiao and chat with each other.

After Haosheng sent Xixiang away, Bairen called Dong Boru, because when Cen Chaoge left, Dong Boru took on the burden of communicating with the dark village outside for Bairen, and he was not in the palace for more than a year. There are many Zhuangzi in the square, so Dong Boru came back when he was free. Bai Ren looked at Dong Boru and smiled wryly: "Sir, do you know everything?"

Dong Boru nodded: "Just now they have told the ministers, son... how are you going to prepare?"

Bai Ren was silent for a while, and instead of answering, asked: "My people... count all of them, how many can there be?"

Dong Boru's heart trembled, he paused and said, "It's less than five hundred."

Bai Ren nodded: "Enough."

Dong Boru was very anxious: "What does your son want?"

Bai Ren took out the gold seal hidden in his sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Kill back, fight back, rush ahead of the emperor, put down the chaotic party first, and then... lead my whole Lingnan clan to bow their heads to the emperor, as long as the civil strife It's settled, Lingnan still belongs to Daxiang, so the emperor can no longer mobilize troops, after that...whether he succeeds to the throne smoothly, or beheaded if he is convicted, at least...all the guilt will be borne by me, and there will be no more killings from now on."

Dong Boru was shocked, and quickly knelt down to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, don't do it! The Wenxiang party has already been defeated, and now the whole mountain is in the hands of the second son, how can it be so easy..."

Bai Ren looked at Dong Boru quietly: "Then what does the gentleman say?"

Dong Boru was dumbfounded.

Bai Ren said slowly: "Wait for the emperor to send troops? Wait for the news that my mother, concubine, my little aunt, all my relatives, and relatives and nobles in Lingdu all died of the rebellious party? Or wait for the emperor to put down the chaos in Lingnan, After taking back the Lingnan Prince's Mansion, give me a vassal of the Marquis of Cheng En, the Marquis of Jia En?"

Bai Ren held the golden seal tightly in his palm, and said in a cold voice: "Sir... my father is dead, I, a carefree son, can't do this, how many people's lives in Lingnan depend on me, I have to bear it."

"And...it's too late to say anything now." Bai Ren took the golden seal back into his arms and said in a low voice, "I have sent spies back to Lingnan, and they will bring back the situation in the imperial city to let them understand, Your Majesty. The [-] cavalry are ready to go, if you don't vote for me, only one will die."

"Sir, believe me, no one wants to die, there are always people with a clear mind, and when the time comes, I will have the possibility of winning."

Dong Boru was still worried, and frowned anxiously: "Then what if it doesn't work?"

"Then it will be a benevolence." Bai Ren smiled faintly, "Sir...do I have any choice?"

Dong Boru let out a long sigh: "The Dongling family, how did such a bastard as Wen Yu come out!!"

In the side hall of Qianqing Palace, Qi Xiao was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, rubbing the life talisman on his waist lightly, Jiang Deqing carefully looked at Qi Xiao's expression, and said softly: "Your Highness... the adults are all going to eat , Your Highness... why don't you use some too?"

Qi Xiao didn't answer, and said for a while: "Elder-in-law, if I had captured this person earlier, probably...these things would not have happened."

Jiang Deqing turned pale with shock, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, be careful! This... this is in the palace!"

Qi Xiao closed his eyes and said nothing.

He naturally knew that this was in the palace. He knew everything, and it was because he knew too much that he had more worries. These years, he fought steadily, step by step, and thought he had never missed a shot. Qi Xiao almost felt that as long as his mind was careful enough , If the plan is thorough enough, there is nothing that cannot be done, but now Qi Xiao understands, only now Qi Xiao deeply feels that in the face of military power, everything is empty talk.

With the knife pressed against the neck, there is a plan, can you not die?

In the face of absolute imperial power, everything else is powerless.And this imperial power should have been in his own hands.

Qi Xiao has been enduring since he can remember, until today, Qi Xiao knows that he still has to endure.

Jiang Deqing knew that Qi Xiao's heart was no different from a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, so he persuaded bitterly: "Your Highness, don't think too much, you are good enough to the son, if it weren't for you, Princess Roujia is still in Lingnan, with the princess , life and death are unknown, if it weren't for His Highness, the son would have been plotted by the Feng family to die by now, this...you don't owe him anything."

A little eunuch outside said in a low voice: "Your Highness...the emperor asked a servant to bring you food."

Qi Xiao turned to look at Jiang Deqing, Jiang Deqing understood, nodded and turned around to go out, the little eunuch outside handed a food box to Jiang Deqing with both hands, turned around, Jiang Deqing went back to the room, put the food box down, put the food box in his hands Handing a piece of paper to Qi Xiao, he said in a low voice, "The little eunuch just now is Xixiang's apprentice, so you can trust it."

Qi Xiao shook off the letter paper, first saw a few lines on the back of the letter paper, written by Xi Xiang, Qi Xiao's heart trembled, Cen Chaoge came back, Bai Ren knew it...

Regardless of these, Qi Xiao turned the letter over, and after just a few lines, Qi Xiao read it back and forth three times.

Jiang Deqing was really anxious and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

Qi Xiao's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "He told me that no matter what he does next, it has nothing to do with me, let me stay out of the matter, and protect myself first, let me take care of myself, so that... we can see each other in the future... "

Jiang Deqing was dumb: "My son... what are you going to do?!"

A few young eunuchs ran in from outside the speaking room, and the leader hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness... the emperor asked you to enter the palace immediately, something serious has happened!!"

Qi Xiao's heart trembled, he stood up and said sharply: "What's wrong?!"

The little eunuch was already flustered, but when Qi Xiao swept his eyes away, he became even more frightened, and stammered, "Lingnan, the Lingnan Palace... is on fire. I heard that the spirit banner was drawn when burning the paper money. All... all The fire started, and the slaves only listened to what the ministers said inside, saying that they should send people to guard the city gate, but, but...it was already dawn, and the city gate opened an hour ago..."

Qi Xiao's eyes were about to ooze blood, and he said after a long while, "I... got it."
