"If you don't want to disappear completely, be honest in the future and control your greed. Even if you take possession of his body, he will die immediately, and you will die with the corpse. You know! ”

The wraith searched for its head again, trying to nod its head to show obedience.

It's just that the taste of life is so delicious that I can't control myself.

Bai Luo asked Wu Ye to accompany her to walk around the city wall, the two of them stood on the wall under the sunset, in front of them was the Infinite Plain, and behind them were all living beings, Bai Luo's eyes crossed the scenery, and he didn't know where he fell, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wu, I will soon be in the Qi country." ”

Wu Ye said: "I'm not afraid of Brother Bai's jokes, it's the first time I've gone out of the gate so far, I followed my father when I was a child, and I have been living in the Qin Kingdom, and later settled in a small city on the border of Qin and Jin, listening to my father's teachings every day, but I have never stepped out of the city gate to see the outside world." ”

Wu Ye said with some self-deprecation: "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books, this time I have the opportunity to follow Brother Bai, cross Jin, Yan, and Qin, and appreciate the different customs of the big countries in the Central Plains and the nomads in the west, and I have indeed gained a lot of knowledge." Here, I would like to thank Brother Bai for not disliking me, a guy who eats and drinks. ”

Bai Luo smiled slightly: "If a person like Brother Wu is a guy who eats white food, then half of the many disciples under the Baifu Sect have to be regarded as stealing their lives." Just because Brother Wu showed his skills in Horse Mountain, he knew that it was not comparable to ordinary people. I hope that Brother Wu can have a place to play in the country of Qi. ”

Wu Ye said: "I am indifferent by nature, I am not too concerned about fame and fortune, I thought that if I was a little higher and regarded wealth and nobility as floating clouds, I would be the real husband." But this long journey, what I have seen and heard, there is still a big gap in my heart's belief, only after seeing the hardships of civilian life, can I know the preciousness of brocade clothes and jade food, rather than pretending to be high, and the aristocratic doctor is a stranger, it is better to bow down and do it yourself, to get the things that should belong to you, the husband also needs to have money, in order to straighten the waist. It is not a noble thing to be poor and be good alone, because he has no chance to do evil and learn badly, and he can help the world at the same time, and after seeing through the world, he still sticks to the original belief in his heart, which is what the big husband does. ”

Bai Luo looked at the man in front of him who may still be a little green, but with infinite firm belief in his words, and for a while he thought of many people and things, the Bai family, the Tian family, the Qi country, the world, and the people, and his mind flew to the sky.

After Wu Ye was silent for a moment, he suddenly said with a wicked smile: "I don't know when Brother Bai will tell me the secret that he is a daughter." ”

Bai Luo was still enjoying the sunset with his back like a handsome son, but his cheeks suddenly turned red, and he muttered, "It turns out that you already knew." ”

In the north of the city, with high walls and deep courtyards, two luxurious carriages one in front of the other, hanging the banner of the Bai family, marching on the quiet and spacious bluestone road, Bai Luo was in the carriage in front, leaning against the wall of the carriage, his mind was still on the city wall where the sunset was obliquely shining, the first time he saw him frankly, the first time he saw him as a woman, as if everything was beautiful. Unconsciously, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth. Tonight to go to the Song Guogong's son Liu Lingjun's banquet, the Song State is located between the Jin and Qi countries, and the Chu State is also separated by a river, the original Shang Dynasty's capital Shangqiu is located in the Song State, Song Xianggong made great efforts to govern the country during his reign, opened up Qianmo, so that the Song State with a small land area in front of the five major powers, also had the power to compete with it, especially the most famous bitter army of the Song State, all composed of ascetics, chanting scriptures and reciting Buddha on weekdays, abiding by the precepts, carrying a knife to fight in wartime, killing demons and eliminating demons, all of them are Vajra Arhats.

As a big merchant across the countries, the Bai clan has always maintained good relations with the countries, and even the Qi country has a war with the surrounding small countries, and the Bai family's caravan will cross the border, and the small countries will also open their faces, which shows the status of the Bai clan in the minds of the countries. Although Bai Luo hates socializing very much, a figure like Liu Lingjun who is a prominent future king of a country can't say the word rejection. It's just that today, there is still a person sitting in the back carriage, who makes her happy, so this banquet has also become interesting.

Wu Ye and Bai Yifu, the housekeeper stationed in Handan, sat in the back carriage together, and the complex and gorgeous decorations inside and outside the carriage were completely different from Bai Luo's usual simple and even simple and even shabby style, which was enough to show that the person who was going to meet tonight had a very high status.

The carriage stopped in front of Liulingjun's house, and the well-trained subordinates had been waiting for a long time, moved the skids, humbly lowered their heads and helped the eldest lady of the Bai family to get out of the car, risking a big risk, and secretly glanced at the legendary Bai family's eldest lady who amazed Qi with her appearance and wisdom out of the corner of her eye, and found that this legendary beauty was not like ordinary nobles, with the usual indifferent and dismissive expression, but revealed a slight smile at the corners of her mouth and eyebrows, and naturally thought that it was the fame of her master Liu Lingjun. Let this beauty of Qi also admire infatuation.

Liu Lingjun stood on the steps, condescending, with an aristocratic smile, behind him was full of famous gentry in Handan City, this group of young masters who are powerful and prosperous on weekdays, all obediently and honestly stood behind Liu Lingjun as a foil, this group of young people who do all kinds of evil in Handan, on the surface, are glamorous and domineering, but in fact they are just the descendants of some declining nobles, they have long lost the spirit and strength of their fathers, coupled with the nature of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, they were kneaded by the prince of the Song Kingdom at will, and they did not dare to have the slightest complaint, and there was another reason, I just want to witness the gorgeous brilliance of the third largest family in the Qi country, the pearl of the Bai family. Bai's Luo people, the famous Donglu, which son does not care about it.

"Finally looking forward to Sister Luo'er" Liu Lingjun stepped forward to help Bai Luo, Bai Luo skillfully avoided Liu Lingjun, but his mouth was still very enthusiastic and said: "Let Liu Lingjun bother, the Bai caravan has been taken care of by the Song State for many years, it should be Bai Luo who invited Liu Lingjun to the mansion for a gathering, but today it made Liu Lingjun bother to entertain, so that Bai Luo really didn't want to go." ”

"Where, where, can I invite Sister Luo'er to come to the Burrow for a banquet, the Song Mansion is simply full of brilliance" Liu Lingjun smiled all the way and welcomed Bai Luo into the mansion, behind him was a group of young men of Handan City with green eyes, as for Bai Luo's entourage, they had already been left behind everyone, and no one looked at them.

Colorful lanterns are hung, wine tables are connected, delicate tripod ware and rare porcelain are placed on the small tabletop, and the maid is graceful holding the food, like a river of water flowing endlessly during the banquet. The young masters who were sitting far away from the chairman's position couldn't see Bai Luo'er clearly, and they also admired the beautiful maids of the Song Mansion nearby, although they were all forbidden by Liu Lingjun, but it did not prevent them from having some dirty thoughts in their hearts.

Wu Ye and Bai Yifu, as the two highest-ranking people in Bai Luo's entourage, were also fortunate to accompany the last seat, but the tableware was already two relatively simple food bowls, and the two sat together. Bai Yifu has been operating in Handan City for many years, and he has long been surprised by the clear hierarchy and even some discrimination of the wealthy scholars, but this young man who traveled with Bai Luo, judging from his appearance and conversation, is by no means an ordinary person, combined with the eldest lady's respectful attitude towards him, Bai Yifu has always thought that Wu Ye is the son of a certain family in the Jin State or the Qin State, and originally wanted to be arranged in the last seat would make this young man dissatisfied, but he didn't expect him to be more natural than himself, eating meat and drinking, The fragrant maids around him were also polite, without the slightest lewd look, and Bai Yifu's good impression of Wu Ye greatly increased. Anyway, no one paid attention to it at the end of the seat, so Bai Yifu simply chatted with Wu Ye.

Wu Ye has always laughed at himself for being short-sighted, but Bai Yifu is not a little arrogant, every time on the key points, Wu Ye has his own unique opinions, whether it is military, politics or business, Wu Ye has put forward accurate opinions on what little he knows, so that Bai Yifu once again attaches importance to this handsome young man, even if he is really not a wealthy son, with his conversational opinions, it is definitely not a problem to enter the Bai family as a famous diner, Handan City has complex interpersonal relationships, and all parties are entangled, Bai Yifu has been trying his best to maneuver, As I get older, I already feel that I have more than enough heart and not enough power, and I really hope that someone who is shrewd and transparent will help me. If the eldest lady also took a fancy to this young man's ability and wanted to recruit him to the Bai family, Bai Yifu was willing to ask the eldest lady for a favor and leave Wu Ye in Handan.

Liu Lingjun has been talking to Bai Luo softly and lovingly, Bai Luo's mood seems to be quite good today, but his eyes occasionally wander away from the banquet, of course Liu Lingjun will not care about this, compared with the previous banquets, today's atmosphere is quite harmonious.

Liu Lingjun took a sip of wine lightly and said proudly: "Today is very fortunate that several well-known ascetics in the country happened to pass through Handan, and this gentleman specially invited them to participate in tonight's banquet, so that you can see the demeanor of ascetics. At the same time, he pointed to the three lightly dressed guests not far to the left.

In fact, as soon as the banquet began, Wu Ye had already noticed these three guests who were out of place in the surrounding environment, and felt that there was something like a thorn under their ordinary appearance, which made people unable to look at them for a long time. Two of the three ascetics were relatively young, they didn't seem to have experienced such a luxurious scene, and they had been pretending to be calm, especially when the young and beautiful maid passed by, the smell of powder and body left behind made the tips of their noses sweat slightly, and Wu Ye could feel that their hearts were constantly suppressing self-control. The remaining middle-aged walker, who had always had an indifferent expression, had already understood these scenes by heart, and his heart was far from being as turbulent as the two young people.

At this time, someone in the banquet suggested that they wanted to see the peerless skills of ascetics, hoping that Liu Lingjun would feast everyone's eyes. Liu Lingjun looked at the middle-aged walker very earnestly and said, "I don't know if Master Song can fulfill everyone's little wishes, and show the skills of the ascetic cultivators of the Song Kingdom at will, so that everyone can make this trip worthwhile." ”
