Chapter 157: Dowry

Shangguan Yu watched quietly. His gaze was faint, but he didn't leave it for a moment. After a long time, he raised his hand, gently smoothed her slightly frowning eyebrows, and said gently: "If one day, you think the memory is too heavy, then forget it." ”

Tang Lu'er was stunned for a moment, but he continued: "I'll help you remember, and when you can accept it, I'll get you back." ”

As soon as the words fell, the carriage stopped, and the Qiguan had arrived.

Shangguan Yu put down his hand, helped her pull the crane on her body and said, "Get out of the car." ”

He was about to get up, but Tang Lu'er suddenly stretched out his hand and wrapped his arms around his neck and buried his face in his shoulder socket. Shangguan Yu was slightly stunned, held her waist with both hands and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay......" Tang Lu'er shook her head, this sudden emotion swelled in her heart, making her whole body tremble slightly.

Shangguan Yu hesitated for a moment, gently wrapped his hands around her waist, but didn't say anything, only hugged her silently.

The fortune on the side has been neglected for a long time. Climbing up his thighs as well, a pair of thief eyes stared straight at the two of them, and then screamed a few times in dissatisfaction.

After the two got out of the car, they had just stepped on the steps of the main gate of the Qiguan, and Bai Jing and Ye Nineteen also arrived, and the mother and daughter and others were also invited down from another carriage.

The group entered the council hall and after they all sat down, the mother and son were supposed to kneel, but this was not a public court, and Shangguan Yu did not intend to embarrass them, so he exempted them from kneeling and only let the woman recount yesterday's events.

After the woman's trembling narration, Tang Lu'er knew that this matter was much more serious than she imagined.

In the past half a month, the displaced people have made trouble, the two factions in Baiyue City have fought and clashed with officers and soldiers, and there have been no less than 1,000 dead. The woman's husband died in the chaos of the war half a month ago, and there are countless orphans and widows like them in Los Angeles, but the conflict and struggle are intensifying, so the number of people who are being brought to prison is increasing day by day. But this has led to a shortage of prisons in Los Angeles, so at present, the government is escorting the prisoners out in batches, basically to some remote and barren places to do labor, in short, as long as they are sent out, most of them will not survive.

And because of this, the contradiction between the officials and the people has escalated, and the people of White Moon City have contributed to it, and now it has almost become a fire and water situation. Then there are the frequent assassins. And the targets are all officials, so the situation is even more chaotic.

Last night's arson incident, after the government's investigation, was caused by this woman secretly sending messages to various places, so there was the scene just now.

As the officials of the Qi Pavilion listed the evidence one by one, and then brought out the witnesses, the woman was silent for a while, then hugged her baby, and said with a bit of determination on her face: "These are all instructed by the Lord of the Su Palace to do this. ”

Tang Lu'er was stunned, Bai Jing glanced at Ye Nineteen, and Ye Nineteen looked at Shangguan Yu coldly.

This is no longer just an infighting, but someone wants to push the contradiction between Baiyue City and the government, or the contradiction with Shangguan Yu, the airborne soldier, step by step, until the day of the outbreak, and then sit back and wait for the fisherman's profit.

But for Shangguan Yu, whether it is public or private, it is not the time to do it now. Bai Su has someone in his hand, a weapon, and a place he doesn't know, as long as one of them can't be controlled. There is a risk of sparking another big war. The emperor sent him over, and he never let him go to war. And at present, there are more than 20,000 troops in Los Angeles, if more than 20,000 people are consumed, those forces in Qizhou who are ready to move will counterattack, and the territory of this big scene will have to be redrawn.

This is a hot potato, specially prepared for him and Baiyue City, Shangguan Yu can't take it, but if he does, he will fall into the hands of others.

"Lord Wang, Lord Su has arrived, saying that he wants to see the prince in private." Just when the council hall fell silent, an entourage beside Shangguan Yu walked in and said softly.

Shangguan Yu groaned slightly, then got up and went out. Tang Lu'er glanced at Bai Jing and asked in a low voice, "What is Hall Master Su doing here at this time?" So timely. ”

Bai Jing shook his head, and glanced at Ye Nineteen again, Tang Lu'er was stunned, and also glanced there, and then understood a little in his heart, it should be Ye Nineteen who sent a letter to Bai Su.

About a quarter of an hour later, someone came in again, it was Zhao Li who took the lead, and with a gesture, he asked people to grab the mother and son and escort them out.

The woman screamed, and the child cried too, and Tang Lu'er hurriedly asked where was this going to take them?

Zhao Li glanced at Tang Lu'er and said, "The prince said that this is Baiyue City's own business, since the Lord of the Su Palace has come to ask for someone." Naturally, I sent it to him to deal with it himself. ”

Tang Lu'er was stunned, if Shangguan Yu wanted to let people go like this, when others asked, how could he explain, wouldn't it make people catch the handle? Just when she couldn't understand what was going on, Zhao Lina had already asked the crying mother and son to be escorted out.

"It's the Lord of the Su Palace and the prince who have negotiated what conditions." The white mirror on the side said softly.

Not long after, someone came in and asked Tang Lu'er to go out, Tang Lu'er glanced at Bai Jing, and then asked, "Is it the prince who called me?" ”

"Yes." The visitor nodded.

Tang Lu'er was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he asked again: "Is the Lord of the Su Palace with the prince now?" ”

"Yes." The man nodded again.

Tang Lu'er walked out of the ceremonial hall with a stomach full of questions, turned to a small hall next to it, and saw that the two men were sitting in the hall talking about something, and after seeing her come in, Bai Su immediately laughed and said: "Wei'er came here, I wanted to tell you again tomorrow, but since I caught up today, it doesn't hurt to say it here." Oh, let the white mirror outside come in with Nineteen. ”

Shangguan Yu gestured to the side, and someone invited Bai Jing and Ye Nineteen in.

After seeing that everyone had arrived, Bai Su spoke: "Just now I have promised the prince to leave Los Angeles within a month to put an end to the struggle between the two factions. Return Los Angeles to a clean place, and help the prince find out about the assassin as soon as possible. ”

Tang Lu'er was slightly shocked, Bai Jing was also a little surprised, Bai Su said and picked up the note on the table, and said to Tang Lu'er: "This is the note I set for the prince, Wei'er will press a handprint as a witness, and then stamp the seal given to you by the lord of Yuecheng, so if I can't leave Los Angeles within a month and put an end to the conflict between the two factions, with this evidence, the prince can lead the troops to detain me." Or drive away. ”

Tang Lu'er was very surprised, she looked at Bai Su in disbelief, Bai Su shook the note in her hand, and smiled unpredictably: "What's wrong with Wei'er, you don't want to be this witness?" Or do you suspect that this thing is fake? ”

Tang Lu'er looked at Shangguan Yu, Shangguan Yu nodded slightly, and then she took the thing in Bai Su's hand and looked at it carefully.

Bai Su didn't miss Tang Lu'er's glance just now, but there was no trace of displeasure on his face, but he smiled deeper and deeper.

"Are you sure?" After Tang Lu'er finished reading it, she asked Bai Su a look.

Bai Su smiled, so the handprint fell, the seal was stamped, Shangguan Yu put away the note, and then sent them out.

"You, how could it be...... Make such a promise? After getting into the carriage, Tang Lu'er asked Bai Su in confusion.

Bai Su leaned lazily on the soft couch, squinted at Tang Lu'er and said, "Do you think it's bad?" ”

"I just can't believe it." Tang Lu'er said, just looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

"Are you worried about that kid, afraid that he will be calculated by me?" Bai Su smiled, with danger in his eyes.

Tang Lu'er looked away and was silent. Bai Su suddenly got up, stretched out his hand suddenly, pinched her chin and turned her face around, and said, "Talk to me in the future, don't use such an impatient expression, I'll be angry." ”

Tang Lu'er was suddenly startled, and when she met those cold eyes, she felt a chill in her heart. Bai Suding looked at her for a while, then slowly let go of his hand, and leaned back on the soft couch with his lazy appearance and continued: "Don't worry, what I said this time is true, if he is smart enough and doesn't take advantage of this to do other actions, he will be fine." ”

Tang Lu'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after a long time, she asked, "Is it just because of that woman?" ”

"I continue to fight with the city lord like this. It's too much work. Bai Su said casually, "I've been fighting like this for more than ten years, and I'm a little tired of it, so just follow what she said, it's okay to change the way." ”

Tang Luer was puzzled: "Another way?" ”

Bai Su smiled, looked at her and said, "Wei'er, you still don't know what the city lord means by sending you to me this time." ”

Tang Lu'er suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, and she couldn't help but sit up straight and look at Bai Su and said, "What do you mean?" ”

After more than ten years, the old woman also understood that she was powerless to return to the sky, and the era that belonged to her had long passed. And she is getting older and older, her health is getting worse and worse, every day she spends, her disadvantage is obvious, and if she continues to fight like this, there will only be bad and no good for her. Bai Su said as she looked at Tang Lu'er, "Wei'er, tell me, what conditions did she put forward for me to promise to go back obediently?" ”

Tang Lu'er only felt a chill down her spine, and she was silent for a while before she spoke: "What conditions?" ”

"My Wei'er, she asked you to come over to participate in the small sacrifice moon, which means that she gave you to me." Bai Su sat up, stretched out a finger, and pointed at Tang Lu'er's eyebrows, "Wei'er, the token of Baiyue City is you, and she married you to me." ”

Tang Lu'er only felt a little dazed in her mind, and Bai Su continued: "The condition is that I support her during her life, and after she dies, I can naturally inherit the position of city lord." If I agree, I will spare your life, and if I don't, I will send your body back after the moon of worship, so that she will understand my decision. At that time, the battle between me and her faction will not be as small as it is now. ”

"You, agreed?" Tang Lu'er didn't expect her voice to be so calm at this time.

"Well, that's a good condition, just wait a little longer." Bai Su withdrew her hand, grabbed a handful of hair that fell on her shoulder, and said with a smile, "Wei'er, the dowry I gave you is Kunlun Fruit, and the dowry given to you by the city lord is a life for Mrs. Tang." ”()
