231 stealing beams and changing columns
Bai Yutang and Zhanzhao went up the mountain, and they met Xuanyuan Jue and Xun Yuebai who were hurrying down the mountain.
The two sides looked at each other, and Xuanyuan Jue and Xun Yuebai were stunned, obviously a little surprised to meet Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang again.
However, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't have any surprised expressions, after all, were they mentally prepared.
Xun Yuebai reacted relatively quickly, and arched his hand to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Brother Yin." β
Xuanyuan Jue also reacted at this moment, and reluctantly bowed his hand to Bai Yutang, "Prince." β
Bai Yutang glanced at the two of them and didn't say much, walked up quickly, and went back to his prince's mansion, and Zhanzhao also followed.
Xuanyuan Jue and Xun Yuebai continued to walk down the mountain.
Seeing that the direction they were going in seemed to be the direction of the Great Prince's Mansion, Zhan Zhao shook his head and continued to go back with Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang saw that Zhanzhao was disdainful, so he asked, "What?" β
Zhan Zhao glanced at the two people under the mountain, "Playing with right and wrong." β
Bai Yutang patted him, "Forget it, their princes are not good birds, let them go, we are not Bodhisattvas, Bodhisattvas can't transform evil people, they will die by themselves, and if they don't do it, they won't die." β
Zhan Zhao smiled, ran up two steps, and poked him, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is high!" β
Bai Yutang glanced at him helplessly.
But after all, there were many people outside, and the two didn't dare to make as much trouble as they did when they opened the seal, so they hurried back to the prince's mansion.
Not to mention, Futu Mountain is indeed high, and the higher you go, the thicker the snow will become, and the colder the weather will be.
When the two returned to the prince's mansion, they saw a row of people standing in front of the mansion.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were a little puzzled, and when they walked over to look, they found that in the pavilion outside the door of all the subordinates, the door was closed, and Fu Gao also instructed everyone, "Don't peek!" Wait obediently. β
Bai Yutang was a little curious and asked Fu Gao, "What's wrong?" β
"Back to Your Highness." Fu Gao said, "Madame Bai said that he wanted to enjoy the snow, so we all came out and waited. β
Bai Yutang was stunned - appreciating the snow?
Zhan Zhao also touched his chin - does Tianzun want to enjoy the snow or come out to breathe?
Bai Yutang suddenly asked, "Are you all from the Beihai Imperial City?" β
"Yes, Your Highness." Fu Gao nodded, "To do things in the palace, the family must be in the imperial city, so if anyone dares to do bad things or be a spy in the palace, even the family will suffer together." β
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and Zhan Zhao also shook his head secretly.
"Why don't you go home?" Bai Yutang asked.
Everyone was stunned and looked at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang said, "I'll give you a big vacation, huh...... Cooks and maids don't need so many people, how about you discuss the shift holiday yourself? β
The crowd opened their mouths wide.
Fu Gao also opened his mouth, "But ...... Is that okay, Your Highness? β
Bai Yutang was a little puzzled, "Why not?" As he spoke, he took out a money bag and gave it to Fu Gao, "You divide it for them, let them buy something for their family when they go back." Aren't you going to marry your sister, leave 1,000 taels for my share of the money......"
Before he finished speaking, a large number of subordinates in front of him knelt down, wiping their tears to thank the prince for his grace.
The corners of Bai Yutang's mouth twitched, and Zhanzhao was puzzled, he had to thank Tianen when he went home on vacation?
Fu Gao was moved as if he was something, "Many of us haven't been out of the palace since we entered the palace!" β
"Then let's go back quickly." Bai Yutang asked Fu Gao if he needed any procedures, and Fu Gao said that he could just talk to the stewardship in charge of managing his subordinates. Bai Yutang asked Suyi to take the gold medal and say it, so he ...... For the time being, only Fu Gao and a few subordinates were left in the house, and the rest were all happy to go home with the silver on vacation.
Fu Gao held the money bag and shook while dividing the money, the prince is too rich......
When everyone was gone, the snow was heavy.
Zhan Zhao crossed his arms and looked at Bai Yutang, "You are not the prince!" β
Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhanzhao.
Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "You are a boy with scattered wealth!" β
Bai Yutang couldn't cry or laugh, "It's more convenient to have fewer people." After speaking, he pushed open the door and went in to find Tianzun.
It's just that as soon as Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang entered the courtyard gate, they saw a scene like a painting......
In the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, pine trees, red plums, rockeries, stone benches, ...... It was all covered in a layer of snow, and snowflakes were falling in the sky.
Tianzun sat on the branch of a red plum tree, with the big gauze hat on his knees...... The long white yarn hung down to the ground and floated gently with the wind and snow.
Tianzun seemed to be in a daze, looking at the snow in the sky, his silver hair moved lightly in the wind, Xiao Wu was sitting under the tree, and some snowflakes had accumulated on his hairy head and back. On the contrary, Tianzun did not have a single snowflake, and when the snowflake fell beside him, it floated away gently, as if he didn't want to disturb him.
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao glanced at each other, and then looked in the direction of the room.
I saw that the black shadow was not wearing the matchmaker costume, but he was usually dressed up, dressed in black, sitting on the threshold with a cheek raiser, looking at Tianzun in a daze. The look in his eyes...... He sees him as an immortal, not a mortal......
Bai Yutang shook his head helplessly and walked towards the room.
Zhan Zhao wanted to call Tianzun, but he sat outside on a snowy day and didn't catch a cold.
However, Bai Yutang gently tugged at him and shook his head at him.
Zhan Zhao followed Bai Yutang into the house.
It wasn't until the two of them passed by the shadow that the shadow came to his senses and found that the two had returned.
Scratching his head, the shadow followed.
Bai Yutang sat down and poured tea, Zhanzhao told Hei Ying about the incident that happened to save the eldest prince, and Hei Ying frowned slightly, "That Xun Yuebai has bad intentions, you have to beware of him, but who wants to plot against us?" β
"Is this?" Zhan Zhao smiled, "Since those people have made preparations, they should come back at night and set fires, and then they can catch and seize the stolen goods." β
The black shadow nodded, and then looked at the Tianzun outside the door.
"What ...... then" The black shadow was a little curious, and asked Bai Yutang, "Is Tianzun in a bad mood?" β
"He's just in a daze." Bai Yutang smiled.
"Daze?" The Dark Shadow didn't quite understand.
"My master has a bad memory." Bai Yutang said, "There are some things that he forgot a long, long time ago and can't remember anymore. He would be in a daze for a while every day, and when I was a kid, I asked him what he was thinking, and he said he didn't know what to do, and his head went blank. β
Zhan Zhao looked at Tianzun in the courtyard and asked Bai Yutang, "What Tianzun forgot, could it have something to do with his white hair?" β
Bai Yutang shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't know either.
"But that day, his hair turned black, and he didn't remember anything." Zhanzhao touched his chin.
"It's ...... too" Bai Yutang nodded, but he seemed to be a little preoccupied.
When eating dinner, Tianzun yawned, stretched his waist on the tree and came down, and Xiao Wu, who was about to become a snow sculpture under the plum tree, suddenly shook the snow on his body, I don't know if Lu Dao was intentional, and threw Tianzun off.
Tianzun was angry, and reached out to twist Xiao Wu's ear, "You are skinny!" β
Xiao Wu kissed you and rubbed him, as if he was a sycophant.
Tianzun tilted his head and patted it on the head, "Well, I'm sure I've seen your grandfather or grandfather." β
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were drinking tea in the room, and when they heard Tianzun's words, they were a little curious, "Master? β
"Hmm...... I always feel that this black cat is a little familiar. Tianzun touched his chin and looked at Xiao Wu for a while, twisted his face, and coquettishly coquettishly with Bai Yutang, "Starved to death for the teacher!" β
Bai Yutang was helpless, so he asked Heiying and Tianzun to go to the house to hide first, and called Fu Gao to prepare dinner.
Fu Gao put the food on the table, and Bai Yutang asked, "Why don't you go back?" β
"The slave is gone, what should I do if there is no one around the prince to do something?" Fu Gao had some concerns.
Bai Yutang thought for a while, "That's it, the day you leave, find a trustworthy person to work for a few days, it's really not good, we can go to the street to eat, and we don't have to be bored in the palace." β
"Oh, that's fine!" Fu Gao nodded, "My sister will have a happy event in the past few days, and tomorrow the slave will take three days off to see her." β
Bai Yutang nodded.
After finishing the meal, Fu Gao was about to leave, and before leaving, he went back and whispered to Bai Yutang, "Prince, are you very good with Zhao Pu, the general of the Great Song Dynasty?" β
Bai Yutang was stunned, nodded, and was a little puzzled why Fu Gao asked Zhao Pu.
"The servant just met a messenger from the palace nearby, saying that Zhao Pu of the Great Song Dynasty sent a messenger to send a letter to the emperor." Fu Gao whispered, "The gods are mysterious! β
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao glanced at each other - Zhao Pu sent a letter?
When the people left, they sat down to eat.
Talking about Zhao Pu's letter, the black shadow told him what he heard last night about the frozen soldiers of the Northern Navy in the northern glacier.
Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide in surprise, "There are fewer and fewer officers and soldiers in Beihai, aren't they all buried there?" β
The black shadow shrugged, "I don't know." β
Bai Yutang also frowned, "How could it be possible for tens of thousands of soldiers to drown or freeze to death in a river of ice at once?" In a snowstorm or a cracked glacier? β
"It's impossible to wipe out all of them if they are cracked, right?" Zhan Zhao has always been soft-hearted, when he heard that so many people had died, he inexplicably thought of the old men serving dishes in the tavern just now, and wondered if the sons who never came back after they went to join the army also died in the cold ice.
"It's not impossible." Tianzun said to himself, "It's just that there are not many people who can do it." β
The three of them all looked at Tianzun, "What are you going to do?" β
Tianzun fed Xiao Wu with a meatball, and said, "When the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have walked to the center of the glacier, slap one palm on the ice surface, shattering the surface of the entire glacier, and when the soldiers fall into the river, they will slap the glacier with one palm...... Frozen the river, so ...... He froze to death and drowned. β
After hearing Tianzun finish speaking, Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, and Hei Ying were all speechless in surprise.
Bai Yutang thought for a moment and asked, "There aren't many people in the martial arts who can do this kind of thing, right?" β
"I can, so can the old ghost and the great monk." Tianzun held his chin, "Others, counting the people who know the Dao, there are probably no more than five, and it is estimated that you and Zhan Kitten can be combined, if the river is bigger...... You have to add Zhao Pu and Xiao Linzi. β
"Do you need four?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"Hmm." Tianzun nodded, "The total age of the four of you is not as old as me and that old ghost, isn't the internal strength good...... It should add up to a certain amount. β
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang squinted at Tianzun.
Tianzun smiled evilly, "Oh, a child is a child...... Aha......"
Bai Yutang and Zhanzhao were a little weak.
After eating, Suyi came running, "Your Highness, the emperor has a matter of request." β
Bai Yutang was a little puzzled, "What's the matter?" β
"That's right, a Great Song envoy came earlier." Su Yi said, "He came to deliver a letter for Zhao Pu, and after reading the letter, the emperor said that he would invite His Royal Highness to enter the palace to discuss." β
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao glanced at each other, got up, and followed Suyi to the palace.
In the palace, Xuanyuan received the envoy in the study.
The envoy was sitting on a chair and drinking tea, and it seemed that Xuanyuan was quite polite to him.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the envoy and were a little speechlessβokay, Ochre.
"Yu'er, do you know?" Xuanyuan asked Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang looked at Ochre, who smiled at him and nodded.
Bai Yutang also nodded, "Yes." β
Xuanyuan nodded, "Lord Ochre seems to be the real envoy, not some spy or deceitful people. β
Ochre Ying smiled and said in his heart - fortunately, Bai Yutang is clever enough.
"Yu'er, take a look at the letter." Xuanyuan Ji handed over Zhao Pu's handwritten letter to Huai Mi.
Huai Mi took it and gave it to Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang opened it and frowned slightly, Zhao Puxin said that the soldiers and horses of the wolf king Xiao Tonghai found a large number of unknown corpses in the ice river outside the Beihai Sea, and found that they were all wearing Beihai's number robes. Xiao Tonghai told Zhao Pu about the matter, and Zhao Pu took someone to check it in person last night, and found that it was indeed the corpse of a Beihai soldier, and the number was staggering. So Zhao Pu wrote to ask Xuanyuan if he had encountered any trouble, or what had happened? Why so many people died in the glacier outside the country.
After reading the letter, Bai Yutang secretly wrote the word "service" to Zhao Pu...... Not only is the writing strong and powerful, but it is very chic, worthy of his status as a handsome, his words are casual but very sincere, and he is simply leaky.
"Letter from the Ninth Prince, I am really flattered!" Xuanyuan Jian had a rare smile, I don't know if it was because he wanted to try not to show his faint side in front of Bai Yutang, or if he was addicted to being a loving father for a while, Xuanyuan Ji's amiable Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang were a little uncomfortable.
Even Ochre Shadow thinks that the information is wrong? Is this a tyrant? I don't think so.
"I, Yu'er, have a friendship with your general." Xuanyuan said, "It's better to hand over this matter to Yu'er and let him investigate ......"
While speaking, there were guards outside who came and went, "Emperor Qiqi, the eldest prince and the third prince have arrived." β
Xuanyuan nodded, "Let them in." β
After a while, the eldest prince and the third prince walked in and saluted Xuanyuan.
Xuanyuan said, "The case of the soldier who has been plagued for a long time for no reason now has a clue!" β
"Really?" The two princes were pleasantly surprised, but after asking, they looked at each other again, and the eyes were very unpleasant to each other.
"Thanks to the letter from the Ninth Prince, the two of you, with Yu'er to investigate this matter, remember, everything is subject to Yu'er's arrangement, and you can't make mistakes!" Xuanyuan Ji's eyes were cold, and the tone of his voice to the two sons was completely similar to that of Bai Yutang just now.
Ochre has always gossiped, drinking tea and looking left and right - could it be that these two people are not biological?
"Father." At this time, the third prince arched his hand, "The eldest brother and I are busy with the hunting season and the matter of rewarding the gods and worshipping the sky, so we ......"
"Well, then otherwise, you two go to one, and find two more princes to help you." Xuanyuan said.
As soon as his words fell, the third prince said, "It's better for me and the fourth child to be responsible for the preparation of the gods and sacrifices to the sky, and the eldest brother will take someone to investigate the case with the prince." β
The eldest prince squinted at the third child, what does that mean - you are quite good at picking! Who doesn't know that rewarding God is an easy job, you rush to do it, let me follow Bai Yutang to Zhao Pu's military camp. Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu are said to have a very iron relationship, so who is Zhao Pu? Don't be unhappy and kill me......
It's just that the eldest prince was almost punished for colliding with Bai Yutang before, so he didn't dare to say anything now, let alone disobey Xuanyuan Ji's order.
So, Xuanyuan nodded and waved his hand, "That's it...... You also take someone with you. β
"Hmm...... the eldest prince thought for a while, "Father, shall I take the tenth child there?" β
Xuanyuan Ji nodded, "Well, it's okay, you two should go to Zhao Pu's military camp to see and understand, it's a rare opportunity, learn the way of using soldiers from the Nine Princes." β
"Yes, my son obeys." The eldest prince was about to agree, but Bai Yutang said, "Actually, you can't go there so many people." β
The eldest prince looked at him.
"Zhao Pu's military camp is very well guarded, in order to avoid suspicion, let's go less, I have a good relationship with him, and I don't want to cause trouble for him." Bai Yutang said, "One of the eldest prince is enough, bring a few guards, and the others will be exempted." β
Xuanyuan frowned, "Yu'er, there are many people to take care of." β
Bai Yutang smiled, "Zhao Pu will be bad for me...... Moreover, a large number of people may not necessarily be taken care of. β
As he spoke, Bai Yutang looked at the eldest prince.
The eldest prince's face was flushed, and he couldn't speak, Bai Yutang was secretly harming their brothers and wanted to be unfavorable to him.
Xuanyuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, that's it." β
After that, everyone left without Xuanyuan, and Ochre Ying went to the Prince's Mansion with Bai Yutang to stay for one night.
As soon as everyone went out, it was a coincidence that they ran into Xuanyuan Jue and Xun Yuebai who happened to be passing by.
The two of them had apparently received the news, and Zhao Pu had sent a messenger.
When the eldest prince went out, he asked the entourage waiting at the door to prepare to pack his things, and he would go out early tomorrow morning.
Xuanyuan Jue came up and asked, "Brother Emperor, are you going to go far away?" β
"yes!" The eldest prince nodded and pointed at Bai Yutang, "Follow him to the Zhao Pu military camp to check on something." β
"I'll go too!" Xuanyuan Jue seemed interested.
The eldest prince was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything about Bai Yutang's refusal, so he said, "Hey, there aren't many people invited, next time." β
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, Xuanyuan Jue probably gave this big prince a lot of ecstasy soup, and his attitude towards him was quite good.
"Why don't you let your subordinates accompany you?" Xun Yuebai spoke.
Xuanyuan Jue also nodded, "Yue Bai Kung Fu is good, and he is familiar with the Central Plains terroir, why don't you let him accompany you?" β
"Uh......" The eldest prince just wanted to speak.
Bai Yutang said, "No need, where can you go if your subordinates are defeated, it is better to bring him than twelve." As he spoke, he said to Zhan Zhao, "Twelve, you go with me, Zhao Pu likes to make friends the most, and your character is probably compatible with him." β
Zhanzhao nodded, "Yes." β
Bai Yutang saw Zhan Zhao's respectful appearance, which was similar to that of Lord Bao on weekdays, so he couldn't help laughing and took people away.
The eldest prince naturally doesn't think too much about a guard, indeed, since Xun Yuebai is a defeated general under Yin Twelve, what do you want him to do? Is it better to bring Yin Twelve? Moreover, everything Bai Yutang is in charge, this is what the emperor ordered, and he didn't dare to say anything. Moreover, seeing Bai Yutang and Ochre Ying going down the mountain together, talking and laughing, it is estimated that he has a very strong relationship with Zhao Pu, so don't contradict him at this time, otherwise you will have your own guilt. And Bai Yutang saved his life earlier...... The eldest prince has also changed his opinion of him a little, in short, he is not as annoying as before.
Wait for the eldest prince and Bai Yutang and others to leave.
Xuanyuan Jue frowned, "This White Jade Hall is really ......"
Xun Yuebai sneered, "It doesn't matter, the future will be long, not this time, there will be a next time." We have things to do anyway, and they're no longer just right. With that, he turned around and left.
Xuanyuan Jue followed Xuanyuan Bai, like that...... It seems that Xun Yuebai is the master.
All the way down the mountain.
Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao, "Cat, have you found any flaws?" β
Zhan Zhao nodded, "You also found out?" β
"Hmm!" Bai Yutang nodded, "Xuanyuan Jue is a completely different person from before. β
Zhan Zhao smiled, "I think too, and the kung fu has gotten better." β
The two glanced at each other - this Xuanyuan Jue is fake!
