Chapter 671: Floating and Sinking with the Waves
Bai Lingyun also seemed to know that this would be the last meeting between her and Cao Liang, so she was always half-pushed and half-pushed before, and she was extraordinarily active and enthusiastic today, as if all the enthusiasm in her life was poured into this soul-stricken, even if Cao Liang was a piece of ice, it was enough to be melted by her.
At the end, she fell into Cao Liang's arms and sobbed silently, and even tears wet Cao Liang's chest.
Although the relationship between her and him can only be regarded as a freak love, but when it was time to part, Bai Lingyun suddenly found that the person he really loved was actually him.
It's a pity that this will eventually be an impossible relationship, after the Sima coup, it is no longer possible for them to even maintain such a sneaky relationship, Bai Lingyun can't help but feel sad and cry.
Cao Liang had to be kind and relieved, and she calmed down after a while.
Not out of Cao Liang's expectations, Bai Lingyun did find the real evidence of Sima's coup, she inadvertently overheard the conversation between Sima Yi and Sima Shi - of course, it can't be regarded as unintentional, Bai Lingyun has been very deliberate about the relevant things of Sima Mansion since he became Cao Liang's internal response - from the conversation between Sima Yi's father and son, Bai Lingyun probably heard it clearly, they plotted to launch a coup d'état when Cao Shuang took the Son of Heaven to sacrifice Gao Pingling, and seize the power of the court.
Bai Lingyun was indeed frightened, although Cao Liang had revealed to her more than once in advance that Sima Yi had the possibility of rebellion, but Bai Lingyun might not believe it, thinking that Cao Liang was exaggerating, because rebellion was a catastrophe of raiding the family and destroying the clan, Bai Lingyun did not believe that with Sima Yi's usual cautious character, he would take this risk.
Even if he knew that the Sima family had always raised dead soldiers, Bai Lingyun felt that this was Sima Yi's secret means to protect himself, after all, there were many people in the past dynasties who raised dead soldiers, but only a few of them really participated in the rebellion.
But now that she heard Sima Yi's plan with her own ears, the cruel reality was in front of her, and she couldn't help but believe it.
Bai Lingyun's heart was in turmoil, but in front of Sima Yi, she had to pretend to be casual, which was undoubtedly a torment for her, so she urgently needed to see Cao Liang, maybe Cao Liang could untie her heart knot.
But Bai Lingyun also knows that no matter whether the coup of the Sima family is successful or not, the sneaky underground relationship between her and Cao Liang has come to an end, and as a member of the Sima family, she has no right to choose, she can only drift with the big ship of the Sima family, floating or sinking.
It stands to reason that since she and the Sima family are both prosperous and loss-making, they should be in the same boat with the Sima family, advance and retreat together, and were previously coerced by Cao Liang and had to sell information to Cao Liang in exchange for their own safety, but in the later stage, Bai Lingyun gradually became obsessed with this "traitor" job, from forced to active, she seemed to pass on information to Cao Liang as her duty, and she also passed on some information that could not be passed on without reservation.
Even Bai Lingyun herself was confused, she didn't know why she did this, could it be that the Sima family was destroyed, what good would it do her? In other words, she wants to find another way out from Cao Liang, in case the Sima family really falls, she can also rely on her relationship with Cao Liang to find another way out for herself and her son.
Bai Lingyun's mood is extremely complicated, but this is the path she chose by herself, and now, there is no possibility of turning back, she can only go to the dark one way.
Bai Lingyun told Cao Liang the news of Sima Yi's attempt to rebel, originally thought that Cao Liang would be as shocked as her, but unexpectedly, Cao Liang turned out to be as calm as a wave, and he was not surprised at all, Bai Lingyun couldn't help but secretly admire, Cao Liang was really able to calm down.
In fact, for Cao Liang, there is no surprise in this, Bai Lingyun's news only confirms Cao Liang's thoughts from the side, and sure enough, Sima Yi's coup d'état is still around Gao Pingling, there is nothing new, but it is just two years ahead of history.
And Bai Lingyun only provided Sima Yi's plot to coup d'état, but when it came to that day and day to launch a coup d'état, there was no final conclusion, and this sacrificial activity will last for several days, from the fourth day of the first month to the ninth day of the first month, that is to say, if Sima Yi launched a coup d'état, he would definitely choose the fourth to the ninth day of the first month.
Now Cao Liang no longer doubts the possibility of the Sima family's coup, but needs to be accurate to a specific day, but unfortunately, so far, Cao Liang has all the information about the Sima family's coup d'état, and there is no this.
Cao Liang can only wait, even if everything is ready on his side, he can only stand still, if the Sima family cancels the action at this time, Cao Liang can only give up silently.
Bai Lingyun also told Cao Liang one thing, that is, a few days ago, Sima Zhao's wife Wang Yuanji left Luoyang with his son Sima Yan and went to Sima Yi's hometown Wen County, it is said that he went to worship his ancestors, but now it seems that it is not so simple.
Sima Yan is now the only male in the third generation of the Sima family, and Sima Yi arranged for Wang Yuanji and Sima Yan to leave at this critical time, which seems to have a deep meaning.
Don't put all your eggs in the same basket, maybe this is Sima Yi's final thought, even if the coup fails, the Sima family is facing the disaster of extermination, and Sima Yi is equivalent to leaving a little blood for the Sima family.
It seems that Sima Yi, the old fox, still has a back hand, and it is not a simple ruin.
Cao Liang didn't have much interest in this news, because the top priority now was to handle the affairs of Luoyang and make every effort to deal with the coup d'état of the Sima clan.
If Sima Yi's rebellion can really be suppressed this time, then even if his descendants flee to the ends of the earth, they will also be chased back, even if they really escape, Cao Liang feels that it doesn't matter, after all, just with a Sima Yan, what kind of climate has it become, even if he is the founding emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty in history, it is not by his own ability, what he relies on is only the efforts of Sima Yi's father and son.
Leaving the soil of the huge Sima clan, Sima Yan can only be a humble and incompetent existence after all, and in the end he can only achieve nothing, let alone become an emperor, and even how to survive is probably a problem.
