Chapter 65: Listen to the Sound of the Sea

After reading these two letters, Bai Jian's usual calm face turned a little pale.

The patriarch, who had not shown up for a long time, saw him throw the letter on the table like a hot potato, frowned and reprimanded him: "Nonsense! How old a person is, how to do things and be so impetuous! ”

Bai Jian was shocked by the sudden sound of speaking, and slowly looked up at the tall patriarch sitting opposite.

The patriarch looked very old, with so many folds on his face that he could trap a fly, and his eyelids couldn't resist drooping down, but he still sat upright, as if there was a bamboo pole behind him, and his drooping eyes rolled slightly, revealing full shrewdness.

After reprimanding this, he didn't look at the faces of Bai Jian and the juniors, but picked up the tea bowl in front of him, lifted the lid, and sipped it quite comfortably, as if the content of these two letters was not a problem, as if these juniors who were wandering all over the world were not called by him.

Bai Jian patiently watched the eldest family drink tea, and after half a cup of tea, he suddenly realized and said ashamedly: "It's me who is impatient." Grandpa, I'm sorry. ”

Hearing this, the patriarch nodded faintly, and put down the teacup: "The authenticity is still uncertain, don't mess with yourself." ”

Bai Jian nodded shamefully.

Bai Jian is not young now, and he doesn't read a lot of military books on weekdays, but when he really encounters something, he still looks like an ordinary family and can't afford it at all. Although the Bai family is a martial arts family, and the self-proclaimed way of life is to protect oneself from participating in the world's disputes, but a big family like them, even if they are in a paradise like martial arts, how many can really stay outside the world?

Looking at the martial arts ruled by the ten factions now, I don't know how many lackeys of the imperial court and puppets of other forces are mixed in, dividing the acre and three points of land in the martial arts. The head of the Bai family's generation will fall on Bai Jian's head without accident, although he was reckless before, he was a little chivalrous, and now it seems.... The eldest patriarch exchanged glances with Bai Jian's father, who was sitting next to Bai Jian, and shook his head again.

I'm afraid, there is still some experience to be experienced.

A young man who was half a head shorter than Bai Jian recklessly said: "Grandpa, the person who sent the letter to us has the exclusive mark of Feitianlou, doesn't it mean that this mark can't be faked?" Why do you still say that the truth is uncertain? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at this young man, all their eyes were full of hatred of iron and steel, and the young man who looked at him touched his nose and wondered: "Did I say something wrong?" His eyes turned around, and fell on Bai Jian, who had just finished reading the letter, Bai Jian was the last to come in, and he didn't hear the discussion between his fathers, so he must not understand the reason for it like him, thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Big brother, do you say what I said makes sense?" ”

Bai Jian glanced at his reckless cousin, and couldn't wait to shake his head on the spot to see if he could hear the sound of the sea: "It's not that Feitianlou is not sure of the authenticity, but the news sent by Feitianlou and their purpose." ”

"Oh..."The cousin looked at his cousin, who he hadn't seen for a long time, nodded stupidly, and smiled with admiration and surprise: "Cousin, you know so much!" That's amazing! ”

Listening to the young man's cheerful tone, everyone in the Bai family was silent, Bai Jian was powerless to support his forehead, and at this time, everyone's hearts were thinking about the same question: Who summoned this heartless person back? It's better not to recall, at least you won't be angry by his unobtrusive tone.

Looking at his cousin's puppy-like longing eyes, Bai Jian stubbornly continued to explain: "The letter sent to Yu Mansion has an extra article about Yu's father's disposal, which is very detailed. Feitianlou is just a civilian intelligence organization, how could it be so clear about what the emperor was doing? Also, Feitianlou knew that our Bai family had a good relationship with the Yu Mansion, but he still sent someone to send two letters that were basically the same and different in small places, what does this mean? ”

"Uh...."

"It represents, Feitianlou wants to separate the two families." The patriarch spoke, "Feitianlou sent the letter with great fanfare, at this time, all the martial arts factions almost knew that two letters were sent, if we or any of the Yu family hid their secrets, then the purpose of Feitianlou would be achieved." ”

After listening to this explanation, several juniors in the audience showed a look of sudden shock, and saw the cousin's sullen fork: Not so many people can't understand this, it's just that he has a big heart and asks his doubts...

"But there's still something unclear about my grandson." Bai Jian frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "The emperor's purpose is to choose the eldest prince, and then lead the troubles to the Yu Mansion and Yu's father... Then why do you want to send us a message to the Bai family? Could it be that the people behind the scenes are sure that we won't tell Yu's mother when we get the news, but let her fend for herself? ”

Hearing Bai Jian's question, the eldest patriarch was also rarely stunned, he only thought a lot about the idea of separation before, but he didn't think about why he sent two letters to them for a while, after all, the children of the rivers and lakes are informal, although he is respected as the eldest and lives in a dark curtain, but all the important decisions of the Bai family will be shown to him first, so although he looks at it and looks like a thin Maitreya Buddha when he laughs, all the big and small things that happen inside and outside the Bai family can't escape his eyes, even if it is the current head of the Bai family, Bai Jane's father, too.

"If it's to drive a wedge between the two of us... It seems that some of them are too exciting. The patriarch muttered, "In your opinion, what is the purpose of the Flying Tower?" ”

"Is it possible that what we and the Yu family have is not the truth? Perhaps, only by combining these two letters can we get a glimpse of the hidden truth. But... We don't have much to do with Feitianlou, and the current head of the Yu family is a person who doesn't like to make friends very much, so why did Feitianlou send this letter to our two families? ”

He leaned down again and picked up the two letters on the table, side by side, but the wording and even the handwriting on the front of the two letters were exactly the same, the only difference was that at the end of one of them, it was written in detail when Yu's father would be sent by the emperor to suppress bandits in northern Xinjiang.

The eldest patriarch looked at the letter in Bai Jian's hand faintly, and said softly: "There is a problem that we have ignored, how can we be sure that only the two of us have received this letter?" ”

The words of the chief of the family flashed into Bai Jian's mind like a thunderbolt, and he held the letter and froze in place.

A middle-aged man got up, he was the father of the cheerful young man, he glanced around, and said respectfully: "After the messenger of the flying tower left, I sent someone to follow, but he didn't meet with anyone. After reading the contents of the letter, I called four henchmen to secretly check the situation of the Flying Tower, and after following them for a few days, I didn't see them go to any big families with the letter, and most of them were still solving the intelligence cases they had hoarded before. ”

"Too tender." The patriarch shook his head, "If Feitianlou didn't have some skills, how could it stand for decades without falling, and it was still what it is today." You are self-righteous stalking, maybe people have already found out and sent a few children to play with you. ”

My cousin's father was said to be a little unable to get off the stage, and argued: "Our Bai family's kung fu is not the first in martial arts, but it has also been passed down through dozens of generations, is it still not as good as the Feitianlou who makes intelligence money?" ”

Before the head of the Bai family could speak, Bai Jian's father took the lead in speaking: "Cousin, you are thinking too simply. You know, there are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of heaven. ”

The cousin's father opened his mouth, but finally sat down with his head down, saying nothing.

The eldest parents rubbed their eyebrows, sincerely feeling that there was something wrong with their previous education methods, although the people in the rivers and lakes should be unruly in the rivers and lakes... But they are obviously throwing their brains out of the way... The junior has no brains and can comfort him by saying that he lacks experience, and these people who have buried half of their bodies in the loess are still so incomprehensible, obviously not lacking experience.

It's really stupid.

He used to think that the foundation of the Bai family was still stable, so the head of the family he chose was also Bai Jian's father, who paid more attention to righteousness, but now that the Bai family was obviously involved in a treacherous turmoil, they still stupidly thought they were the best in the world...

From this point of view, Bai Jian's stupidity does not seem to be unacceptable, at least not as hopelessly stupid as his uncle.

Thinking of this, the eldest patriarch put down the hand that was rubbing his eyebrows, and said to Bai Jian: "Go to Yufu and ask Yu's mother to come over." ”

Yu Mu on the other side has also been discussing with Yun Zhi for a long time. Yu Yuanqiao had already returned to the army, and the only person in the huge Yu Mansion who could really speak was Yun Zhi, and although Yun Zhi looked very arrogant, he was actually as careful as a hair, recalling the content of the letter and raising a lot of doubts.

The mother and son were discussing carefully, when they heard a rumor from the maid, saying that Bai Jian, the youngest son of the Bai family, invited Mrs. Yu to sit in the Bai Mansion.

Yu's mother got up and motioned for her daughter Yunzhi, who was still sitting still, to follow, and she followed the little maid's steps outside. Yun Zhi didn't want to go to such a confidential discussion, but Yu Mu didn't have any room to discuss with him, so she could only grit her teeth and follow.

Bai Jian led the carriage and waited for them on the side of the road. Seeing Yun Zhi who came out, Bai Jian was stunned, and then nodded towards this long-lost 'sister', Yun Zhi also showed a reluctant smile, not in the mood to tease this young man, pursed his lips and followed Yu Mu to get into the carriage.

Running all the way, dusty all the way, and when they arrived at Baifu, they didn't have time to greet each other and went straight to the point.

The maid of Baifu served two fragrant teas to Yu Mu and Yunzhi who came from afar.

Yu's mother lifted the lid and sniffed it, the action was the same as that of the head of the Bai family, with a casual calmness, put down the teacup, and then she said: "My lord and my unsuccessful son may have used various reasons to detain Kyoto." ”
