200. Quiet White Lotus
"Lian'er!" Zhao Fen said, "You go and take a break." ”
Bai Lian raised Hong Miaomiao's eyes, shook her head, and said, "Mom! I have never fulfilled my responsibilities as a daughter. I'm sorry! Mom. ”
Bai Lian suddenly burst into tears. She didn't know when she stopped crying, maybe the moment she lost her memory, she wouldn't cry.
"Don't cry." Zhao Fen stretched out her hand, and Bai Lian gently leaned into her arms, "My daughter is back." ”
Zhao Fen hadn't seen her daughter cry for a long time, even if she had returned to Baishi for a while, she always felt that Bailian had a corner against them. Now, seeing her crying, she remembered that Bai Lian used to cry like this, with the same expression.
"Mom! I'm sorry for you and Dad. Bai Lian smelled the smell of Zhao Fen's body, and seemed a little familiar, "Dad will definitely come back." We can wait for him to return to the White Market, and we, with you, me, and my sister Thorns, and our family can be reunited. ”
"Lian'er!" Zhao Fen stroked her head, "I know your father can't come back, when I passed out, I felt that your father left us, I really felt it." ”
"Mom! No, Dad is a strong man. "I'm sure he will be able to return to the White Market and fight with us." I can't remember my old self, but I feel your love. ”
Bai Lian is telling the truth, after returning to Bai Shi, Bai Lian did feel warm, unlike the days in Qingfeng City, except for killing people is killing people, she has always been on a mission and walking around. That kind of life is not steady.
"I feel like my daughter is back." Zhao Fen gently stroked her face, "I'm very happy." ”
"Mom!" Bai Lian buried her head deeper, "I will definitely find myself again." ”
"Good...... It's ......" Zhao Fen also had tears in the corners of her eyes, "I'm waiting for that day." Your dad and I have been missing you for two years since you disappeared. However, this time, your father went to the North and South Cities, and he was destined not to come back. ”
"Mom! Why are you so sure? Bai Lian raised her head and looked at Zhao Fen suspiciously, "What happened yesterday?" ”
Zhao Fen looked at Bai Lian, not knowing how to express the feeling at that time, but Zhao Fen was sure that Bai Hong was no longer alive, she just knew.
Thinking about it again, when Miao Jia came to visit her this afternoon, her language seemed to indicate that Bai Hong had been killed.
"Your dad and I have been living together for a long time." Zhao Fen said, "I know by feeling. ”
"Mom! You say so sure, my heart is not at peace. Bai Lian said, "No, I have to contact Secretary Miao Jia, she is the person in charge, and she should be very clear about the dynamics of the North and South Cities." ”
"Look......" Zhao Fen said, "you don't have to go to her, she's coming." ”
Bai Lian turned her head to look at the door, it was really, Miao Jia and Thorn were standing at the door. Thorn's face was red and swollen, as if he had wept.
"Zhao Fen!" Miao Jia dragged her heavy steps and sat on the edge of the bed, "You have to prepare yourself......
"Secretary Miao!" Bai Lian stood up suddenly, "What did you say?" Why do you say be prepared? ”
"Sister!" Thorn whispered, "You've been staying in the ward, taking care of your mother, and you've not noticed what is going on outside." ”
"Sister! What's going on? Bai Lian looked at Zhao Fen, "Mom! Did Dad really have an accident? ”
"White Lotus!" Miao Jia held her shoulder, "The people of North and South City have betrayed. ”
"What?" Bai Lian was surprised, "How is this possible? They all sent troops to attack Nandong City? North and South City betrayed the White Market, what benefits did it get? ”
"Mayor White-Red!" Miao Jia said, "This is the bargaining chip for betrayal." ”
"My dad is gone." Bai Lian looked at Zhao Fen, "Mom! This ......"
"Lian'er!" Zhao Fen said, "Everything will pass. You can't fall down anymore, look at me, I'm still lying on the bed~. ”
"Sister!" Thorn said, "We must avenge this vengeance." ”
"Now I'm here, it's Ma Jun, I'm about to arrive in the White Market." Miao Jia said, "He took the body of the white and red mayor and the body of the personal guard, and left the north and south cities together." ”
"Mom!" Bai Lian saw Zhao Fen get out of bed, "You lie down!" We'll deal with it. ”
"I'm fine."
Bai Lian looked at Zhao Fen's resolute attitude, and it was not easy to talk more.
A group of people left the ward and headed to the North City Gate.
The night was very thick, and it was still raining lightly.
The news of Bai Hong's murder leaked out of nowhere, and the whole city rushed to the north.
The streets were full of cars, people, and many people holding banners with white and red images, and some even crying. Everyone expressed the grief of the white and red death.
Bai Lian looked at the crowd on the street, and her heart gradually improved. She didn't know why her feelings were like this? It stands to reason that when she heard that her father was killed, she cried and fainted like Zhao Fen, however, Bai Lian just cried and did not produce other radical behaviors.
[Is my state abnormal?]
Thinking of this, Bai Lian's hatred for bows and arrows and hatred for Pu Shao has another layer.
If it weren't for them who had transformed their heads, Bai Lian knew that she was not like this at the moment.
[Mother is right, she fell, I can't fall. Even though I lose my memory, I am the daughter of Bai Hong, and I want to lead the people of Bai Shi into the future]
When Bai Lian thought of this, she felt that she had not been an assassin for two years, and brought it to the present, many things, not too sad, but rational thinking.
"Sister!" Thorn shook Bai Lian's shoulder, "Ma Jun came to the White Market with almost 350,000 people. ”
"What?" Bai Lian said, "Three hundred and fifty thousand? Is it really here to go to the white market? ”
Three hundred and fifty thousand is a large number, more than three times the population of the current White Market.
"Yes!" Thorn said, "Ma Jun can't get used to the behavior of the mayors of the north and south cities, and has broken with Shan Liang. His father's body was the one he wanted to come back to. Without him, my father's body doesn't know when it will return to the White Market. ”
Bai Lian remembered Ma Jun, the person she found last time was him. She felt that this person was very good, and he was a talent of Liang Zhicai.
"He and I swept away the north and south cities." Bai Lian said very seriously, "They shouldn't treat their father like this. The father was already a hostage to them and could not pose a danger to them. As a result, they killed him. I must come back this debt. ”
"Nandongcheng and Nanbeicheng are already in contact." "The two cities have agreed to a ceasefire and seem to be in agreement," Thorn said. ”
"Whatever they do, I will take revenge." Bai Lian said, "This is an enmity that does not share the heavens. ”
Bai Lian can only be comforted by the uneasiness in her heart if she speaks strongly.
The group stood at the gate of the city, waiting for Ma Jun's large army to arrive.
The raindrops in the sky seemed to be a little bigger, drenching people's hairs.
Even if the weather is so bad, the people standing here are not only the White Lotus, but also the citizens behind them.
While waiting, everyone put on mourning clothes.
The soldiers were busy outside the city, and they set up makeshift tents, ready to meet the large group.
Ma Jun's men and horses arrived at the northern city gate in the rain, and he was also dressed in linen and filial piety.
"Mayor White!" Seeing Bai Lian, Ma Jun knelt down on his knees, "I, Ma Jun, am sorry for the people in the white market." ”
"Get up, please!" Bai Lian helped Ma Jun up, "I appreciate everything you have done for my father. ”
"Thank you!" Zhao Fen's face was tired, "My husband is in the spirit of the sky, I must remember your goodness." ”
"Madame!" Ma Jun bowed, "I'm ashamed of Mayor Baihong, I'm ashamed of you, and I'm ashamed of the people of Baishi." I didn't think that the mayor of North and South City was a villain who slashed a butcher's knife at his companion's neck. On behalf of the true people of the North and South Cities, I would like to say sorry to the people of the White City. ”
"Give back our white-red mayor......" someone in the city shouted, "Give back our white-red mayor......"
"the people of North and South City, return our white-red mayor......" Everyone shouted, "Give back our white-red mayor......"
The cries in the city caused a commotion ~ among the 350,000 people from the north and south outside the city.
Miao Jia saw this situation and was worried about causing unnecessary bloodshed. This Ma Jun has done enough benevolence.
The white market is anger to anger, and you can't make excessive moves.
"White Lotus!" Miao Jia said, "After this battle, your influence has become greater and greater. Now in this case, you go and say a few words, otherwise, it will definitely cause a war between the two sides. ”
"Okay."
Standing at the top of the city wall, Bai Lian faced the citizens in the city and said loudly, "Citizens! I'm White Lotus...... Please be quiet......"
As soon as Bai Lian said, the noise in the city suddenly disappeared.
"For my father's death, the people of North and South City will definitely pay the price. But it's not these people outside the city, it's Ma Jun who brought people to join us. Because Ma Jun doesn't care what the mayor does, the mayor is a short-sighted person, and Ma Jun is not, so he brought people who don't want to live in the north and south cities to join us. White Market is a free city, and we can't stop people from coming to me because of my father's business. ”
White Lotus paused, looking at the faces of the citizens, their emotions calmed down.
"How did the white market develop? It is thanks to the freedom in everyone's heart that we have come to this point. Moreover, those people outside the city are no longer from the north and south cities, they are already from the white market. They attacked Nandong City and helped us a lot in retreating from the enemy in the white market. To put it seriously, if it weren't for Ma Jun leading the soldiers outside the city, we would have been wiped out by the Nandong Army long ago. Now, people from outside the city have come to the White Market with my father's bones. We shouldn't treat our own people like that. What do you say? ”
"Mayor White! We listen to you. From now on, you will be our mayor. Someone shouted, "We listen to you." ”
"Thank you." "Now we will send my father and his guards to the cemetery." ”
The group followed the funeral procession and marched to the cemetery.
Miao Jia stayed and arranged Ma Jun's men.
Thirty-five was too many, and some of them, in fact, were soldiers, and all of them remained in temporary shelters outside the city. Only some of the people went into the city and were arranged to stay in hotels.
