Chapter 5: The Big Picture Party

Li Zhongyi was ready to take a vivid hand at Bai Xiao.

He really didn't want to do it, but things didn't change his will.

But Li Zhongyi did not act immediately.

He sent someone to deliver the news to Bai Xiaosheng and asked Bai Xiaosheng to leave the capital as soon as possible.

As long as Bai Xiaosheng can leave the capital within three days, he is sure that this matter will be settled, and he believes that although the empress wants to verify her prestige, if she can solve this matter quietly, the empress will also be happy to see it.

It's a pity that Bai Xiaosheng disappointed him.

In the next three days, the venue was full.

At the same time, the news that the empress instructed Li Zhongyi to deal with Bai Xiaosheng also quietly spread throughout the capital.

Everyone didn't understand.

Even though the empress didn't want to hear the name of the champion marquis, it would not kill Bai Xiao because of this.

It doesn't make sense.

But this news is said to have come from the Jinyi Guard, and it is also said that the commander of the Jinyi Guard has made Lord Li's hair gray now, so this statement adds three points of convincing.

Therefore, in the next three days, the natural residence will be like a cloud.

Bai Xiaosheng met a lot of old friends.

When the seven great princes of the dynasty came, five people came to the natural residence to sit down, and it was clear that they wanted to stand on the platform for Bai Xiaosheng.

The remaining two princes are titles handed down from their ancestors, although they also participated in the Vertical Arch War, but they did not serve under the command of the champion Marquis, and they had no friendship with Bai Xiaosheng.

But all the people who had a relationship with Bai Xiaosheng before basically came.

The Empress wanted to see what people were looking at ten years from now, and she saw the answer.

Although this answer is actually very moist.

Because many people don't realize the seriousness of the problem, they just think that there is a misunderstanding between the empress and Bai Xiaosheng, and it's good to talk about it.

No one could have imagined that the empress really wanted to kill Bai Xiaosheng.

"Lao Bai, what's the matter with you and Your Majesty?" The British Duke asked with some curiosity: "Why is it rumored that His Majesty wants to kill you?" ”

Bai Xiaosheng said lightly: "Your Majesty doesn't let me talk about the marshal, I want to talk about it, and I will probably offend Your Majesty." ”

"That won't kill you, with your friendship with the marshal back then, Your Majesty will reprimand you at most." The British public did not understand: "Could it be that Li Zhongyi falsely passed on the holy decree?" ”

"I've seen Li Zhongyi, his feelings for the marshal don't look like a fake, and it is impossible to fake the holy decree."

"That's weird." The British Duke put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "I'll go to the palace to see Your Majesty, I'll leave this matter to me, and I promise that nothing will happen to you." But Lao Bai, you also have to control your temper, Your Majesty is no longer the princess of Changping back then, don't talk like before. ”

In the original vertical arch war, the British Duke was the supreme commander of the Great Zhou at the beginning, and under his leadership, the Great Zhou was defeated in successive battles.

Later, it was the champion Hou who was born and turned the tide of the battle.

In terms of level, the champion Hou was at his peak, and he was just a fair match with the British.

But in terms of prestige, the British prince can't catch up with the champion Hou.

However, the British Duke is not a person who is jealous of his ability, and even he is not a mediocre commander, at the beginning, the difference in strength between the two sides of the Great Zhou against the Demon Clan was too great, and he had already done the best within his ability.

Later, the champion Hou was born, and the army was not without a stumbling block for the champion Hou, it was the British public who supported him, single-handedly helped the champion Hou to the position of marshal, and he was willing to take the second place.

This is a truly great old general.

Although he guessed that there was some unknown unpleasantness between His Majesty and Bai Xiaosheng, he still decided to make peace with it.

Bai Xiaosheng understood the kindness of the British duke, and took the initiative to toast the British duke with a glass of wine.

But he only understands it.

"Grandpa Guo, don't do useless work."

"What do you mean?" The British duke sighed in his heart.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled: "There is a knot between me and Your Majesty. ”

"What heart knot?"

The British duke's heart trembled so badly that even his face was a little pale.

Perhaps, he has always guessed, but subconsciously avoided the correct answer.

And now, even if he wanted to avoid it, it was impossible.

Bai Xiaosheng's eyes were lost, but he still looked at the British Duke with empty eye sockets, and said word by word: "I think the death of the marshal is strange." ”

The British man stood up suddenly.

Looking at Bai Xiaosheng, the British duke's face was very complicated.

"Song Hui's father checked himself, there was no problem with the death of the marshal, and there was no conspiracy from the imperial court. Lao Bai, we have all had your guesses, but there is no evidence. ”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled: "No need for evidence, old general, you know very well the situation back then, the strength of the Great Zhou side has surpassed that of the Demon Clan, as long as we fight steadily, we will inevitably win the final victory, why should the marshal take risks?" ”

"The marshal has always used strange tactics."

"But before the marshal played against the demons, he won them all."

"The general will inevitably die in battle, and there will always be accidents."

"Old general, there are some reasons to convince you, but they can't convince me." Bai Xiaosheng's tone was indifferent, but he was extremely firm: "I want a truth." ”

The British Duke was silent for a long time.

Then he said in an astringent voice: "Even if this truth is true, will it turn the Great Zhou Dynasty upside down?" ”

"I want the truth." Bai Xiaosheng insisted.

The British Duke looked at Bai Xiaosheng and took a deep breath: "Lao Bai, the current rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou are all spelled out by our brothers with a knife and a gun, and peace is not easy to come by." ”

The corners of Bai Xiaosheng's mouth hooked up a touch of sarcasm: "Without a marshal, how can there be today's Great Zhou?" ”

"But the marshal is dead, for the sake of a dead man, do you want the people of the world to suffer with it?" The British public said loudly.

Bai Xiaosheng was stunned, and then laughed: "That's right, there are some things that shouldn't be the only one I suspect." ”

"It's just that you've already made your choice."

The British Duke was pale.

"It's a pity that I have already made my choice."

"Old general, the Tao is not the same, please."

The British Duke did not go.

He said seriously: "The champion Hou is in the spirit of the sky, and he definitely doesn't want the world to be ruined because of his rebirth." ”

Bai Xiaosheng laughed: "You are not a marshal, how do you know that the marshal is unwilling?" Old general, in the final analysis, you still failed the marshal, and then found a comfortable excuse for yourself. ”

The British Duke was struck by lightning, and opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.

The saddest person is the centrist.

They aren't too bad and don't want to be in league with the bad guys.

But they're not too good to stand up for justice.

So, they blame themselves, they are ashamed, they deceive themselves.

At this moment, there was a sharp knock on the door.

"Bai Lao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard has killed Master Li. He left a suicide note, saying that loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve, and the only way to thank the world is to commit suicide. ”
