Chapter 231: Talking to the White Night
Bai Jinyu hurriedly stood up, walked to the old lady's side, and saluted: "Old lady, since they already have the intention of rebellion, if the old lady forces them to be anxious, they may not have to do anything, according to the subordinates, this matter needs to be considered in the long run!" ”
The old lady of the Bai family closed her cloudy eyes, her face was gloomy, and she did not directly answer Bai Jinyu's words, and after a few seconds, she sneered: "I thought I was old and could enjoy a few days of happiness, but I didn't expect it...... There is still no peace in this house, you go down first, I am free to arrange this matter. ”
"Yes, the subordinates retired."
As soon as Bai Jinyu took a step back, the old lady of the Bai family opened her eyes suddenly, and her face was terrifying: "Remember, you are the eldest young master's person!" In the future, if Zhao Shinan fights for power with the eldest young master, you will be the eldest young master who you want to help! ”
"Subordinates remember."
The old lady of the Bai family nodded, and Bai Jinyu left the hall.
She looked at the letter in her hand that was torn in half, and muttered, "Bai Ye, you want to inherit the position of the head of the family, in the next life!" ”
After Bai Jinyu left, the old lady of the Bai family still had doubts about this matter, so she sent Bai Pozi to summon a side family head to ask him about what happened that day.
When Bai Pozi led the head of the family to see the old lady, he happened to be looked at by Bai Jinyu, who happened to be the head of the family, and it happened to be Bai Jinyu's subordinates, Bai Jinyu took advantage of Bai Pozi's absence, so he explained to the head of the family on the side, and he said something to the old lady of the Bai family according to Bai Jinyu's meaning.
After this inquiry, the old lady of the Bai family also determined that the four elders did have the intention of rebellion and killed him!
Although the Grand Canal leads from the imperial city to the Ming Kingdom, it is not built in the center of the imperial city, but from the border of the imperial city.
Bai Ye took some small servants, and Bai Jinyu went to the border of the imperial city, and Zhao Shinan directly took a large number of people and horses to the Ming Kingdom.
The place where the white night was built belonged to the downstream, and Zhao Shinan belonged to the upstream.
Ding Xuyu still followed Bai Jinyu's side with a disguise, because he deliberately hid the aura on his body, so no one noticed him.
Bai Ye also heard about yesterday's council, and he had murderous intentions towards the four elders, feeling that the four elders had an outside heart and it was not appropriate to stay for a long time, and at the same time, he was also a little wary of other elders!
Bai Jinyu found from his various signs that Bai Ye not only distrusted her, but was also very wary, even when Bai Ye was discussing with his subordinates, Bai Ye never called her to go.
Bai Jinyu lived in the tent in the evening, looking at Ding Xuyu who was meditating and cultivating beside him, and his eyes darkened slightly.
"No, this bastard is too suspicious, I have to let Bai Ye trust me and grasp his trajectory before I can proceed to the next ......"
Bai Jinyu's eyes moved, walked to Ding Xuyu's side, whispered to him, and said with a light smile: "What do you think?" ”
Ding Xuyu opened a pair of peach blossom eyes, a flash of light flashed under his eyes, and said leisurely: "As long as you don't work too hard." ”
After Ding Xuyu finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand, patted Bai Jinyu's little face gently, closed his eyes again, and began to meditate, his voice indifferent: "I am practicing internal strength, even if the ground falls and the sky falls, I am not allowed to disturb again, if you encounter danger, shout, someone will come to protect you." ”
"How long do you need to meditate today?"
Bai Jinyu simply sat in front of him, holding his cheek with one hand, and looked at him, however, the man seemed to have entered a state of concentration, no matter what Bai Jinyu said, he didn't hear it, like an iceberg, exuding a cold breath.
Bai Jinyu stood up, then found more than a dozen stones outside the camp tent, and set up a basic formation outside the camp tent. In the dark, between the dozen or so stones, there seemed to be a kind of traction force, and once someone entered the tent, Ding Xuyu could detect it.
After settling all this, Bai Jinyu quietly left the camp and went to a teahouse in the imperial city, found the owner of the teahouse, gave him some silver taels, and asked him if there was a girl selling singing here.
When the tavern owner saw the silver, he was naturally dazzled, and hurriedly sent someone to call all the courtesans in the teahouse, Bai Jinyu picked a good-looking girl, bought her deed of sale from the tavern owner, and took her out of here and went to the camp.
Even if Bai Ye has been close to Bai Jinyu since he was a child, after all, they have lived in the same mansion for more than ten years, what happened to Bai Ye, and his temperament, Bai Jinyu is very clear, as long as she tells these to the courtesan, she does not worry that Bai Ye will not regard him as a confidant.
At that time, no matter what Bai Jinyu wanted to know, she would be able to know from the mouth of the courtesan that it didn't matter if Bai Ye didn't believe herself, it was the same if she sent a woman who made him trust.
It's a pity that the plan can't catch up with the change, Bai Jinyu tried his best to lure Bai Ye to the pavilion near the camp tent, who knew that a wave of assassins came, Bai Jinyu's original set of chance encounter plot, it turned into a scuffle, because the courtesan had no martial arts, so he was hit by a sword and lost his life.
At the end of a battle, Bai Jinyu looked at the corpse of the courtesan on the ground and the white night beside him, her eyes were cold and silent.
"Young Master Ben originally came here to look for jade pendants, how could the Nine Elders be here? And a strange woman? ”
Bai Ye's gentle eyes narrowed slightly, and a touch of deep meaning swept through his eyes.
Bai Ye knew the origin of these assassins, so he didn't suspect Bai Jinyu about the assassins, but he felt that Bai Jinyu's actions today were really too weird, and he was suspicious in his heart.
Bai Jinyu's eyes turned slightly, she had an idea in her heart, she smiled faintly, then squatted down, took out a jade pendant from the arms of the courtesan, and threw it towards the white night in the air!
Bai Ye stretched out his hand to take it, glanced at it, and nodded lightly: "Yes, it's my son's jade pendant." ”
Heh, what the hell is this woman thinking?
"The courtesan told me that this jade pendant happened to be picked up by her passing by, I had seen the eldest young master wear it before, and I told her that it was the eldest young master's jade pendant, she still didn't believe it, and now it seems that it is really the eldest young master's."
"It's late tonight, and the Nine Elders don't sleep in the tent, how can they come here?"
"I slept and knew the place, and left the White Mansion, but I couldn't sleep for a while, so I went out to hang out. I happened to meet a courtesan here, so I gave her some broken silver, and asked her to sing a song and gossip for a while. ”
Bai Jinyu finished speaking, her eyes were cold, and she saluted Bai Ye, and then wanted to turn around and leave here.
Bai Ye didn't pay attention to Bai Jinyu, but sat in the pavilion, leaning on the pillar, one slender leg curled slightly, one leg extended, and looked faintly at the night sky, I don't know what I was thinking. chamberlain
"Stop."
Although Bai Ye's voice was gentle and elegant, it contained a hint of coldness.
Bai Jinyu paused, raised her eyes and looked at Bai Ye, and a faint smile flashed under her eyes: "What else is the matter with the eldest young master?" ”
"Young Master Ben is very curious, you are so ugly, you have to wear a veil every day, why do you still live, not afraid of being looked at by strange eyes?"
Bai Ye said lightly.
"If you are ugly, you are not allowed to live? The words of the eldest young master are also interesting. ”
After that, Bai Jinyu chatted with Bai Ye here, because Bai Jinyu knew Bai Ye very well, Bai Ye felt that he fell in love with Bai Jinyu, and slowly, he would not defend Bai Jinyu.
Bai Jinyu sat here and chatted with Bai Ye all night, until it was dawn, and Bai Ye quieted down, only looking at Bai Jinyu coldly, and had no desire to speak again.
He closed his eyes slightly, and pursed his thin lips slightly: "I didn't expect that although you were ugly, you fell in love with the young master." ”
As he spoke, he casually took out half of the silver mask from his arms and threw it towards Bai Jinyu in the air!
"This mask was promised to you by Young Master Ben before, this thing is not as easy to fall off as a veil, and I am not afraid that you will be ugly, the veil will fall off, and then scare Young Master Ben."
It was clearly such a gentle tone, but the words he said were very harsh, but it was a pity that Bai Ye, a selfish guy, felt that it was nothing.
"Thank you, young master."
Bai Jinyu turned her head, took off the veil, and put on this silver mask.
The mask was indeed only half a sheet, covering the lower half of Bai Jinyu's face, although it was made of silver, Bai Jinyu didn't feel bored when she put it on.
"Turn your head and let Young Master Ben take a look."
Bai Ye's gentle eyes narrowed slightly, and he dragged his cheeks slightly with one hand, looking towards Bai Jinyu's back.
Bai Jinyu nodded, then turned around and looked towards Bai Ye: "The eldest young master has seen enough?" ”
Bai Ye only glanced at her, then stopped looking at her, and turned his head to look away.
"You and I are in love, if you are a man, it would be fine, Young Master Ben may be able to let you follow you closely, but you are a woman, Young Master Ben has always hated ugly and stupid women the most."
"If the eldest young master is disgusted with me, I will see the eldest young master in the future, and stay away from the eldest young master."
"That's it, you just need to wear a mask, don't let Young Master Ben see his true appearance. The person on the tip of this young master's heart, but the first beauty of Dayuan, compared to her, it is a difference between you and her. ”
Bai Ye naturally said this sentence, not expecting that it would hurt the hearts of others. Maybe for Bai Ye, he didn't treat the ugly one as a woman at all, let alone be afraid of hurting people's hearts.
Bai Jinyu sneered in her heart, pretending to be puzzled, and raised her eyebrows: "I don't know who the woman the eldest young master puts on the tip of his heart?" ”
Bai Ye's slender right hand tapped his knee, and a touch of tenderness flashed in his gentle eyes: "Although Young Master Ben chatted with you today, but her name can't tell you, Young Master Ben met her a few years ago, but now he ...... I don't want to talk to you about that. ”
Bai Ye closed his eyes, stretched out his hand, and rubbed his temples.
Bai Jinyu's heart moved.
He still has a woman he likes? What happened to the woman now?
Although Bai Jinyu was curious in her heart and felt that this woman's identity was special, she was afraid of arousing Bai Ye's suspicions, so she didn't ask more.
"Ugly thing, help the young master to go back to the camp tent."
The old lady was there, and Bai Ye was afraid that talking too much would displease the old lady, but now that the old lady is not there, Bai Ye has no way to hide her mouth.
Although the first plan failed due to the encounter with the assassin, although the second plan was developing towards Bai Jinyu's expectations, Bai Jinyu also had a lot of words out of Bai Ye's mouth tonight.
But......
Bai Jinyu was really disgusted with Bai Ye's mouth.
Ugly stuff?
Even if she was really ugly, so what? The appearance is determined by his parents, he can't control it, Bai Ye is noble, his parents are outstanding, and he naturally has a good skin.
But not everyone is as lucky as him, he can dislike others, but this kind of contempt and disgust is disgusting.
Bai Jinyu took a deep breath, then took Bai Ye's arm and led him towards the tent.
"Tomorrow evening, come here to talk to Young Master Ben, and Young Master Ben will bring some wine over as a reward for you."
"Thank you, young master, but the young master should still focus on the construction of the Grand Canal."
