Chapter 556: Blocking the Way
"It's not easy for you to come back this time, when you go back, you have to be careful all the way, take care!" Bai Bingxiong was sad for a moment, but still hardened his heart and advised: "When you go back, you still have to take the official road, you are not afraid of being encountered, but you are afraid that there are few people on the small road, and now the bandits are so fierce......
Bai Bingxiong told a lot of words, and Xiao Shaotang and Bai Chenghuan also responded one by one, but he always felt that he couldn't rest assured. 56 Library's new website:
Being able to reunite with his daughter here in this chaotic world also relieved him of a little worry, but what a difficult situation is the distant capital?
In the northwest, he had already seen the attitude of His Royal Highness King Qin, the emperor's move to tear down the bridge before crossing the river was always too chilling, and His Royal Highness King Qin would definitely not hand over the talismans, but if it went on like this...... In the future, if the emperor is pressing forward step by step, the Qin Palace's palace is afraid that it will be ......
It's just that he can only think about these things in his heart, it is related to the Qin Palace, and he has some taboos, so he can't ask Xiao Shaotang.
In the end, I could only grit my teeth and say:
"Your Royal Highness, rest assured, as long as Cheng Huan is safe in the future, which side Cheng Huan is willing to stand on, Xia Guan, will also stand on which side!"
Xiao Shaotang was taken aback, and then bowed down and bowed again:
"Shaotang thanked his father-in-law first!"
This can be regarded as a subtle statement to him about the position of the Bai family, right?
Bai Bingxiong stepped back into the valley on the ice, snow and muddy water, and got on the horse with his subordinates with the wounded soldiers, as well as the captured and captured bandit leaders, looked back at the valley from afar, then resolutely turned his head and galloped away.
Behind him, the howling cold wind dispersed the bloody qi that filled the valley, and a subordinate rushed up to investigate:
"Lord Bai, the person you just went to see is the one who helped us to suppress the bandits? I don't know where the strong man is, good archery, good accuracy!"
Bai Bingxiong nodded:
"Well, it was the two righteous people who passed by, who went to Shaanzhou, and when they saw that the road was uneven, they drew their swords to help, and they were also a righteous person, but they specially said that they didn't like to be investigated, you will give the order in a while, no one is allowed to mention this matter, Zhang Qian always asked...... Let's just say that those cold arrows were put by the people we ambushed in advance!"
When Bai Chenghuan and Xiao Shaotang got back on their horses and walked through the valley, the corpses scattered on the side of the road had been simply dug and buried by those officers and soldiers, but there were still vultures in the sky that specialized in eating dead corpses.
"It's just a drought, Daqi has actually become like this......" Bai Chenghuan resisted the urge to vomit, and couldn't bear to turn his face away, the words "peaceful and prosperous" that he had heard before were particularly ironic when he thought about it at this time.
Xiao Shaotang drove his horse to her side, blocking this cruel purgatory-like scene for her, and preventing her from seeing these bloody, severed arms and limbs.
"It's not just a drought, it's a natural disaster, and it's a man-made disaster. He looked at Bai Chenghuan and said in a low voice: "In terms of the emperor's heart and talent, if there were no waves in this life, if Empress Xiaoyuan hadn't died and this drought hadn't come, maybe all this would not have happened, and it was more than enough for him to be a king, but unfortunately, in the current situation, he didn't plan to take the people of the world to heart......"
Bai Chenghuan's body hidden under the cloak trembled slightly, and he didn't answer.
If she doesn't die...... But she's dead.
A trace of confusion flashed in Xiao Shaotang's eyes - he didn't ignore her slight trembling, and he could finally be sure that the Empress Xiaoyuan, who had become a legend, had an inexplicable relationship with the woman he loved.
Neither of them spoke again, but concentrated on hurrying, and by the evening, they were about to arrive at the capital city of Yuzhou.
At this time, there were no more people on the official road, and the two of them who had been running around for a day were even more galloping like the wind, wanting to enter the capital city of Yuzhou before dark, so as not to sleep in the wilderness.
The closer they got to the capital city of Yuzhou, the snow under their feet gradually decreased, and the two of them just breathed a sigh of relief, when they saw a fork in the official road in front of them, a carriage drove out coldly and crossed diagonally in front!
The two of them reined in their horses at the same time, and the horse's front hooves were raised, so that they could stop and did not collide!
Sanxi, who was following the two of them, was about to step forward immediately, but Xiao Shaotang grabbed the reins of the horse and stopped him in place.
Xiao Shaotang stared at the obviously ill-intentioned carriage with cold eyes, and took a few steps forward to protect Bai Chenghuan behind him.
But I saw that the curtain of the carriage that looked ordinary moved slightly, and behind the curtain of the cotton, a handsome face was revealed, and a handsome boy in a brocade robe got out of the carriage, looking straight at the person behind Xiao Shaotang with his eyes, and smiling with coldness:
"Sister Cheng Huan, since you're here, don't you plan to see me?"
The person blocking the road was the king of Jin whose fief was in the east of the river.
When Bai Chenghuan's eyes met the eyes of King Jin through a distance of no more than a few feet, there was only a moment of surprise, and then she felt alienated.
It's not the alienation after not seeing each other for a long time, it's the alienation of a child who finally grows up and feels that everything in life is different.
Bai Cheng welcomed his eyes and smiled:
"It's rare that you still recognize me, long time no see, His Royal Highness King Jin. ”
"In fact, no matter when, I can recognize you, just like when I was in Yuzhou, I recognized you at a glance. The carriage with a little warmth blocked the cold outside, and King Jin sat opposite Bai Chenghuan and smiled lowly.
seemed to see that Bai Chenghuan was not happy, and King Jin explained again:
"I looked at you like that just now because Xiao Shaotang was in front of you - I must not let him treat me as a child who does not understand the world!"
As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Shaotang staring at him in the distance through the car window: "Look, if I want to see you alone, he must be very angry, but he can't do anything to me!"
In the smug tone, there was the innocence and simplicity of the past, Bai Chenghuan listened to it, but suddenly felt very contradictory, she looked at King Jin like a young brother, and there was a smile on her lips:
"In the past, I always hoped that you would grow up quickly, and that you would become a wise and martial vassal king, with enough strong ability to protect yourself, but just now, Xiao Shi, I don't know if you are having a good time now. ”
"Happy, naturally happy. ”
King Jin looked at Bai Chenghuan softly as before, and his smile remained the same:
"Now, I often don't laugh like Fang Cai, and look coldly at those who make trouble for me, and I don't talk as much as I used to, but they have become obedient. Isn't that nice?"
Bai Chenghuan didn't know what to say.
"But Sister Cheng Huan, why did you agree to marry Xiao Shaotang? If, if the imperial brother did something wrong, you can settle accounts with him, which can make him sad and sad, but you just like that, just marry like this - never return to his side again?"
There was a moment of silence between the two, and King Jin broke the silence again, but the smile on his face could no longer be maintained, and there was a bit more scathing questioning in his tone.
Bai Chenghuan looked away, smiling sadly with helplessness:
"Xiao Shi, it was his marriage. ”
"You see, you can recognize me at a glance, but he gave me to someone else in marriage. What else do you think I'm going to do?"
