Chapter 118

"Is a woman missing?" Autumn leaves sat up with his waist on his back, lifted the curtain with his hand, looked at the noisy place, and saw that not far away, the crane guards rode their horses in front of the gray-clothed families, and two other family members were twisted to the ground by the crane guards, and they were constantly struggling.

The surrounding families are also quite excited, and there are many people watching the excitement nearby.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, you guys are going to release them quickly!"

"They must have a problem, otherwise why wouldn't they let the car be checked!"

"Let it go...... Let go! ”

Qiu Yebai observed for a while, and frowned slightly: "Let the crane guards forget it, I don't think those family members are really making trouble." ”

The look of anxiety and irritation on those people's faces was genuine.

Baili Chu glanced at her and said lightly: "Xiaobai, your waist is good, so you have to be nosy?" ”

Autumn leaves stiffened, and then leaned back into the cushion with his sore thin waist, and sneered unceremoniously: "If it weren't for someone tossing Xiaguan to the point that he flashed his waist, Xiaguan wanted to go back to Beijing early so that he could lie flat and not suffer from the bumps in the road, would Your Highness think I would be willing to meddle in my affairs?" ”

Baili Chu looked at her faintly, and smiled coldly: "The waist flashed, but Xiaobai is still sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, is it better to make Xiaobai's mouth speechless next time." ”

I don't know why, he looked at the focused gaze of his lips, which made her want to be crooked all of a sudden, her ears turned red, and she glared at him viciously: "Shameless." ”

Baili Chu took care of the small waist of his own 'horse master', and ordered the crane guard to show his identity through the window, and after driving the other party away, it would be convenient for the convoy to pass Guò.

Sure enough, after Yibai showed his waist card to show his identity, the other party was shocked, but instead of retreating immediately as they imagined, they actually knelt on the ground together.

"What are you doing, you dare to stop the frame of His Highness's car, isn't it really a long life!" Yibai carried a long sword and looked coldly at the person who knelt in front of them.

The crane guards also pulled out the long swords in their hands in unison, and the awe-inspiring dark murderous aura instantly made everyone tremble with fright.

At this time, a woman in gorgeous clothes staggered over with the support of two maidservants, and suddenly knelt on the ground with tears on her face: "The courtiers are Guo Shi, the wife of Liu Zhen, a member of the household department, see Your Highness, the courtiers did not intend to disturb Your Highness, but the only daughter of the courtiers disappeared after the incense in the nearby Tianning Temple, so she made this decision, and asked Her Highness to be the master of the courtiers and others." ”

Yibai frowned and said coldly: "The security matters in the capital should be under the jurisdiction of the Five Cities Terracotta Division or Dali Temple." ”

"The courtiers have reported to the official, but it's not the first time that a girl has disappeared in this neighborhood, and she hasn't been found. Although Guo Shi choked up, he still spoke in an orderly manner, but he had a bit of a lady's demeanor, and there was no sign of spilling.

Yibai's expression slowed slightly, but he still said expressionlessly: "Madame, please leave quickly and then go to the official mansion, don't implicate your lord and relatives in the family because of this." ”

When Guo heard this, as if she had been struck by lightning, she finally couldn't help but burst into tears and motioned for everyone to disperse, and she was half-paralyzed on her maidservant.

Yibai turned over and got on the horse and waved his hand: "Get up!" ”

The convoy then continued to move forward through the crowd.

In the gorgeous, wide and comfortable car, Autumn Leaves White is half-lying in the soft pillow, looking silent.

Baili Chu made a handprint, finished pranayama, and then looked at her and smiled slightly: "What, do you want to be the Qingtian Lord in the play?" ”

If Xiaobai likes this kind of game, he doesn't mind satisfying her interest.

Qiu Yebai was stunned for a moment, then sighed lightly and looked out the window: "Ah Chu, are you really still the one who walks with a sword on the rivers and lakes and acts arbitrarily, if everyone stops your frame like the Guo family and asks to be the master, you have to be the Qingtian Lord to decide right and wrong, you don't have to be His Royal Highness the Regent, just be the secretary of the Dali Temple." ”

Life is life, those who stop the royal driver from kowtowing and burning paper to appeal to their own grievances, and in the end they are just a drama.

In reality, where is it so easy for the people to sue the officials, the previous dynasty was strict, and if the people want to sue the officials, they still need a nail board to show their determination.

Although the empire is also an institution that accepts secret accusations because of the existence of the celebrant and the treasurer, the cumbersome procedures and the complexity of evidence collection make her smack, and the bottom-up 'disobedience' is always the most difficult, and even the world does not tolerate it.

"Oh, really?" When Baili first heard this, he raised his eyebrows with some interest: "This palace originally thought that the people in the rivers and lakes liked to act chivalrous and righteous, fight grievances, and kill corrupt officials, why did Xiaobai change his original intention after more than two years in the officialdom?" ”

Qiu Yebai paused, adjusted a comfortable posture, and then said indifferently: "If I tell Your Highness, I am a lazy person, I only like to travel in the mountains and rivers, and I must be happy in life, and I don't have the original intention of fighting injustice and chivalry, can you believe it?" ”

"Oh?" When he heard this, he chuckled, and when he saw that she couldn't reach the teacup, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.

Qiu Yebai took the tea, and looked at the sky with a distant look: "Your Highness must also know that the current situation of the empire is not too optimistic, in the early years, I even participated in the White Rice Rebellion in Shudi, and now I think about it is really young and frivolous." ”

"Have you participated in the White Rice Rebellion, the rebel army led by Chen Rebel Thief who defeated the entire Shu region, or even half of the White Rice Rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River?" When Baili Chu heard this, he raised his head and looked at her, and a strange sharp light flashed in her cold eyes.

She looked at Bai Li Chu and showed a faint smile: "That's right, you're talking about Chen Chao, it's my old friend, he's just a teacher who knows some martial arts, and it's also his ability to set off such a terrible storm." ”

Shu is known as the granary of the world, Chen Chao will rebel, because Shu white rice can be three seasons a year, but the imperial court buys a large number of Shu white rice, the price given is very low, forced official levy, and must be sold to the government enough grain, rice farmers can sell to merchants, otherwise the private seller will be fined and confiscated, or even imprisoned, or even hanged.

Among them, there are corrupt officials and cool officials who buy white rice when they are short of two catties, rice farmers are miserable, in the year of natural disasters, insufficient payment, sell children and wives, and the white rice in the house is full, but some people starve to death.

"The corrupt officials I saw in Shu are outrageous, which is one of the reasons why I joined his camp in the first place, of course, another reason is that I don't like the so-called 'Mandate of Heaven' at all." The corners of Akiba's white lips hooked up a cold and mocking smile.

What's more, since she knew the fate of the 'Heavenly Mandate Prostitute' until her death, she didn't have any good feelings for the Baili Imperial Family, and later knew that the current situation of the empire was very much due to the credit of the emperor who had not been in court for more than ten years, so she had no good impression of the Baili family.

"This palace has heard that there are a lot of capable people around Chen Chao, one of the mysterious young military advisors made a great effort in the confrontation between the officers and soldiers in Shudi, but then disappeared mysteriously, some people say that he died in battle, and some people say that Chen Chao was jealous of him, so people can get rid of him."

Bai Li Chu narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at her thoughtfully: "Could it be that the young military advisor is you?" ”

When she heard this, she seemed a little helpless: "Ha, is it actually like this in the court?" ”

She was just in a few battles, well, she was involved in a few battles, she came up with some ideas, and she relied on her background in her youth and vigor to privately mobilize the first-class masters of the Hidden Sword Pavilion to sneak into some official residences, and implemented the 'beheading plan', which took off the heads of some government officials and paralyzed the command center of the government.

Speaking of which, what she did was not much different from that of an Assassin.

"Later, the old immortal knew that I had done these things, but he didn't blame me, he just let me continue to follow Chen Chao, but later I found out that he and those people around him, although they are not as cruel as the government said, but they are also mean and unkind people, such people have no overall view, but they are quick and desired, and they can't go long, and I will no longer be involved in this matter, the most important point is ......."

She paused, her expression a little cold: "I found that even if the White Rice Uprising, or the White Rice Rebellion, can succeed in getting your Baili Imperial Family to step down, it is just another 'Chen Imperial Family' coming to power again, which may not be able to bring about the so-called peaceful and prosperous era, maybe it is not as good as the current situation, but it is full of smoke, and you need to pay more and more tragic costs." ”

So what's the point of her involvement?

For the sake of selfishness and revenge, let more daughters who are not 'destined to be prostitutes' end up with her in troubled times?

Sell your body for a bite to eat?

"Xiaobai, I'm quite sober." Bai Lichu put down the cup in his hand and said indifferently and contemptuously: "Chen Shun's kind of insect who does not measure his own strength, vainly trying to get involved in the country, is stupid. ”

Qiu Yebai looked at the contemptuous light that flashed in his delicate and gloomy eyes, and she sighed softly, although Her Royal Highness has always disliked the Baili Imperial Family, but the bones of the royal family that have accumulated for hundreds of years, as well as the pride of the royal family, have long been deeply engraved in his bones.

There is a natural disdain for the common people, and of course, he disdains no one.

In addition to the fact that he does have this capital and strength, the main thing is that he has almost no human feelings, let alone sympathy for this kind of affection based on sympathy for others.

He is the most perfect, ruthless and cruel 'god' that Shingon Palace has cultivated with great effort and painstaking efforts.

Even for her, it was only because she had the effect of medicine on him that he became interested, and they could come to this day, almost never imagined at the beginning.

Of course, now at the beginning of the hundred miles, it is getting closer and closer to people.

Akiba Bai couldn't help but hook a smile that was almost proud at the corner of her mouth, this kind of 'life accident' still gave her a sense of accomplishment.

"Xiaobai, why do you smile like the thief dog raised by Lao Lu?" Baili Chu looked at the smiling Autumn Leaf Bai, and asked suspiciously.

Akiba's white smile froze on his face, and then he shook his hand unceremoniously and smashed the cup in his hand towards him: "Get out!" ”

Baili Chu's fingertips were raised, and the white fingertips formed a lotus flower seal in the air, and with an elegant flick, the cup fell back to the Huanghuali small tea table, and not a drop of water fell out.

"Xiaobai is because after this incident, he has no interest in 'doing chivalrous deeds'?"

She didn't think that she could really smash it to the beginning of a hundred miles, but she was unhappy and did something to smash him, seeing that she didn't hit, although she regretted it slightly, but she didn't care too much, anyway, that guy had beautiful and delicate lips, and it tasted good, but it was not pleasing to her.

She lazily leaned on the soft pillow, crossed Erlang's legs, raised her head to look at the trees that began to sprout outside the window, and said slowly: "Your Highness, Weichen has walked through many mountains and rivers in the empire, and realized that the current situation of the empire, that is, boiling frogs in warm water, is not far from death, but it can't die for a while, it can't collapse, how much effect can it be to do chivalry at will?" ”

She sneered, her eyes a little cold: "Is it a quick time, and then bring more painful lessons, just like after the White Rice Rebellion, the revenge of the imperial court came so fiercely, and the corpses of Shu were all over the field and no one collected them, or was it like Jiangnan at that time, but he was obviously in the land of rich plains, but he sold his sons and daughters?" ”

If it weren't for the fact that she saw Chen Chao greedy for enjoyment, greedy for gold and silver, slaughtering dissidents was no different from corrupt officials, and leaving Chen Chao early, maybe the Hidden Sword Pavilion would have been dragged down by her.

"Lao Xian actually knew that the ending of following Chen Chao would be like this in the end, he didn't forcibly stop me who was young and frivolous, probably so that I could see the consequences of being stupidly righteous and not correctly judging the situation." She chuckled helplessly.

This is also the reason why as soon as she entered the imperial court, she immediately activated the formation to hide the main family of the Hidden Sword Pavilion and disperse the people into the rivers and lakes.

What's more, she only knew that the situation in the court was much more complicated than the rivers and lakes when she entered the court, but it was not without capable people, such as Baili Lingfeng, such as Baili Lingyu, and the five princes she hadn't seen yet, who seemed to be more or less capable, definitely not as useless as she thought she was in the rivers and lakes before, not to mention the terrible regent His Royal Highness who controlled the power of the court and politics around her.

No one is a fuel-efficient lamp, she only knew when she entered the court, only to know that the court is another more sinister and complicated rivers and lakes, governing the country is not really a clear monarch and determination can be cured lightly, the empire is a lingering scabies, difficult to cure, but it can't die for a while.

And the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.

Even if she really participated in that rash uprising from beginning to end, she would probably end up guillotined or absconded in the rivers and lakes because of failure, worrying about the court's pursuit and killing, and at the same time blaming herself for countless people who died rashly for her.

"Water." She spoke, feeling parched, waved her hand, and motioned to him loudly.

It is really a very good feeling to let His Royal Highness the Regent come down and serve her, a former rebel 'traitor'.

As if her 'uprising' was a success.

"The Master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion is a rare person who understands." A glimmer of light flashed in Bailichu's eyes, and then he poured another glass of water quite gently, personally brought it to Qiu Yebai's side, and handed it to her: "Xiaobai, your waist hurts, do you want to rub your waist for you?" ”

Autumn leaves pale and looked at him suspiciously, how did he become so 'caring'?

"Suspicious?" Bai Li Chu looked at the doubts in her eyes, nodded lightly, and got up indifferently and prepared to return to his position.

"Yes!" Qiu Yebai immediately grabbed his wide sleeves and responded neatly, such a rare opportunity to have a 'delicate wife' to serve her, how could she let it go, probably only she could enjoy it in the whole world.

And it's not a 'delicate wife and ferocious', where will she, the 'colt', flash her waist.

It's a pity that there is no Huiyuan Kidney Treasure here, which is good for him and good for her.

While feeling sorry, she was about to turn over and lie on the soft pillow, but she didn't want Bailichu to suddenly reach out and block her, scoop her directly into his arms, and rest her upper body on his half-bent long legs: "Just lie here." ”

Qiu Yebai hesitated for a moment, but still simply fell into his arms, automatically and carefully adjusted his posture, and lay comfortably in his arms, and then nodded: "Okay." ”

Her First Highness has really become more and more gentle and human-like recently.

Baili Chu's delicate eyes flashed with a faint smile, and he reached out and gently pressed the internal force on the place where her waist flashed.

"How?"

Where her waist was sore, she felt the gentle and gentle strength and a cool breath advancing along the meridians, so comfortable that she squinted her eyes and nodded again and again: "Very good." ”

"Yes, Xiaobai, you haven't said why you don't think you need Lord Qingtian?" Baili Chu suddenly said again.

She squinted and enjoyed the service of the beauty, and said leisurely: "Well, this is more complicated and shocking, let's talk about it later." ”

When she was enjoying this kind of enjoyment, she didn't want to turn too many political thoughts in her mind that had nothing to do with enjoyment and made people upset.

And her ideas are too shocking in this era, she has not forgotten his identity, he may not be able to accept it, and she will have the opportunity to talk to him slowly in the future.

Baili Chu didn't continue to ask, but suddenly said: "Yes, you said that after the White Rice Rebellion, the imperial court's revenge was very fierce and the methods were very cruel, right?" ”

Akiba Bai nodded: "Well, and I've been chasing and killing people related to this." ”

Luckily, she flashed early.

"Then do you know who was the person who dealt with the White Rice Rebellion back then?" Baili Chu suddenly asked
