Chapter 32: Shen Zhai Reconsiders

When the Marquis of Dingyuan returned to the imperial capital, he was supposed to go to the court meeting on the same day. Unexpectedly, Emperor Wei once again canceled today's early dynasty. Although not going to the court for two consecutive days is nothing new for Emperor Wei, these two days were originally the days when the imperial doctor and the eldest prince planned to participate in the Yuwen ink pool. This special coincidence made Bai Qingyun and Bai Yiyan feel vaguely worried.

But thinking about it, the plan is basically seamless, even if Yuwen Mochi finds Concubine Li to drag Emperor Wei not to the court for a few days, but as long as Emperor Wei will still appear in the early dynasty, the imperial doctor will play like the eldest prince, and the result will not change. I really don't know what the point of Yuwen Mochi is dying like this.

Bai Qingyun and Bai Yiyan temporarily put aside the matter of Yuwen Ink Pool and began to think carefully about their future choices. The two of them still decided to go to the Shen Mansion again, meet with Shen Rongzhi and the others who were in the Shen Mansion, and discuss it there.

On the way, Bai Qingyun talked to Bai Yiyan in detail about Shen Rongzhi's life experience for the first time. The Shen family of Qianguo, where Shen Rongzhi was born, is the mother of Shen Rumei, the queen of Qianguo, and Shen Rongzhi is the eldest son of the Shen family. When Jiangling City broke one day, six-year-old Shen Rongzhi was escorted by the loyal old servants of the Shen family and secretly escaped from the city, but the Shen family was wiped out along with Jiangling City. In the chaos, Shen Rongzhi was separated from the old servant, and he has since lived a life of begging and grabbing food from wild dogs.

Later, Shen Rongzhi was met by a merchant of Dayong and bought him as a handyman. But that person is not a good person, not even as good as the eldest prince, and likes to ravage the young ** the most. When Shen Rong was ten years old and his color gradually revealed, the merchant finally couldn't sit still and was about to attack him.

On that day, they happened to arrive at Baiyu Pass, but Shen Rongzhi refused to give in to the merchant, and took advantage of his inattention, broke his head with a vase, and escaped. The merchant was furious and led people to arrest him and deal with him severely. On a remote street in Baiyuguan, Shen Rongzhi was blocked by merchants, and his reputation and life might be lost. At this time, Bai Qingyun, who was only eight years old, happened to pass by with someone, rescued Shen Rongzhi, and sent him to the south to learn the way of business from Bai Mingqi, the second master of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Bai Mingqi took pity on Shen Rongzhi's life experience, and he was extremely smart, so he took special care of him, let him study with his eldest son Bai Qingfeng, and later handed over the business of the Northwest Line to him. Therefore, Shen Rongzhi is not only very familiar with Bai Qingyun, but also has a friendship with Bai Qingfeng.

Bai Yiyan sighed, she didn't expect Shen Rongzhi's life experience to be so tortuous, and he turned out to be Brother Qingyun's cousin. I really can't see that there is such a difficult past behind that amazing and glamorous man.

Before Bai Qingyun went to the Shen Mansion, he had already notified everyone to wait for him there, and they all thought that there was news from Yuwen Mochi. Unexpectedly, Bai Qingyun brought another shocking news.

Shen Rongzhi and Jiang Yutang, who were also remnants of the Qianguo, immediately knelt down for Bai Qingyun and Bai Yiyan, and Doctor Jiang even burst into tears. Jiang Xianlin didn't expect that one day he would be able to see the priestess of Si Ming and the descendants of the Xiao family again, and his excited words were not good. As the head of Qianguotai Hospital, he had seen Xiao Qingyun as a child and Lan Jing'an in swaddling clothes many times. I didn't expect that after many years, after he had already been disheartened, he would be able to see the last hope of Qianguo again.

Jiang Yutang was still a child when he escaped from Jiangling City with the immortal forest. But he will never forget the flames that soared into the sky, and the cries of pain from those around him. As a Qianguo person, he, like every remnant of Qianguo, has never forgotten the former country and the beautiful life of the past, even though the country has perished. At this moment, Jiang Yutang felt that the heavens had finally opened his eyes.

And Shen Rongzhi was even more excited, it turned out that the person who saved him back then and always called him a brother was really his cousin, after he lost all his relatives, he finally found a trace of blood connection. The priestess and the third prince of Xiao stood in front of him, and his indefinite dream of revenge began to flash the first glimmer of light.

And Wu Wei and Qiu Shaoze were silent, and the impact of this news on them was also huge. Bai Qingyun trusted them and told them the most secret life experience without reservation. How do they choose?

The two men looked at each other, made up their minds, and got down on one knee. Qiu Shaoze opened his mouth first: "Since Master Hou has already handed over the shadow guard to the young master, there is only one master of the shadow guard, and that is the young master." As a shadow guard, it is his master who swears allegiance, not someone who sits in the main hall and does not ask the people. Qiu Shaoze and the shadow guard will continue to follow the young master, no matter what the young master's surname comes from and what he wants to do, this will not change the loyalty of the shadow guard. ”

Wu Wei followed and said: "Wu Wei has followed the young master for so many years, although his subordinates are not as good at killing as Qiu Shaoze, not as good at fighting as Yan Chong, and not as good at fighting as Jiang Shaoheng, but my loyalty to the young master can be seen." No matter what the identity of the young master is, I only obey the orders of the young master. ”

Bai Qingyun and Bai Yiyan were also very moved when they saw everyone like this, and personally helped them up one by one.

Shen Rongzhi had been quietly contacting the Qianguo immigrants in the south before, and even he was behind several riots in the south, and he also tried to persuade Bai Qingyun to rebel and drive the Yuwen family out of the Zhengxuan Palace. At that time, although he didn't know Bai Qingyun's identity, after many contacts with him, Shen Rongzhi had great hopes for him. Shen Rongzhi felt that even if he couldn't restore the country, if he could have a responsible, capable, and caring person like Bai Qingyun ascend to the throne, it would also be a blessing for all the people, and it could be regarded as an acceptable outcome for himself.

It's a pity that Bai Qingyun rejected him many times at that time. Unexpectedly, Bai Qingyun turned out to be the only descendant of the Xiao family, and his national enemy and family hatred were also his, this time he didn't have to persuade him to raise troops, this news was definitely enough to make Shen Rongzhi laugh out loud from his dream. He was eager to immediately write to his Qianguo companions in the south and tell everyone the good news.

But Bai Qingyun didn't let him do it, and he and Bai Yiyan hadn't figured out what to do next. Bai Qingyun told everyone about Lan Shuyao's divination and the last message that year, and everyone was shocked when they heard it, and their eyes looking at Bai Yiyan were respectful and fearful.

Bai Qingyun and Bai Yiyan were sandwiched between the national enemy and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and their hearts were very tormented. They don't even have time to think about their children's affairs at this time.

Shen Rongzhi and Jiang Yutang's father and son undoubtedly supported Bai Qingyun and Bai Yiyan to break away from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion as soon as possible, return to the south, contact the old department of Shangqianguo, and raise troops from the south. Now the south is in turmoil due to the catastrophe of the past few years, there are too many hungry people, coupled with the tyranny of Emperor Wei, many places that have been stirred up have become riots. Although Emperor Wei sent Zhao Guogong to suppress it before, the suppression effect this time was not good, but because the rebel army was leaderless, Zhao Guogong could barely suppress it. If Bai Qingyun and Bai Yiyan return to the south with their true identities, then they will definitely be able to smoothly organize the remnants of the Qianguo. If those two proverbs are spread again, it is estimated that even the people of Dayong will soon choose to take refuge in Bai Qingyun and the others. Therefore, starting from the south can quickly open up the situation.

And Wu Wei and Qiu Shaoze are both from military backgrounds and know the difference between real sergeants and ordinary people. Even if the southern army is successful, if Emperor Wei mobilizes a large army to suppress it, the rebel army may not be able to resist for a long time. And this is tantamount to putting Bai Qingyun and the others in the opposite position of the Marquis of Dingyuan. With the patriotic character of Dingyuan Marquis Zhongjun, no matter how painful it is, if Emperor Wei gives a death order, he will agree to send troops to attack the rebel army. Wu Wei and Qiu Shaoze could not accept the result of such a killing of each other. They hoped that Bai Qingyun would temporarily hide his identity and continue to stay in the Northwest Army, inherit the title of Marquis of Dingyuan, further expand his influence, and slowly figure it out. On the day of Dingyuanhou's absence, he directly rebelled with the Northwest Army.

Neither side could convince the other. But there is one thing that basically everyone is unified, everyone hopes that Bai Yiyan will withdraw from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion as soon as possible, even if she and Bai Qingyun's affairs are not considered, with her special status, she must not marry someone from the Yuwen family. Now although they have brought down Yuwen Mochi, as the Marquis of Dingyuan and his beloved only daughter, there is no guarantee that the other princes of Emperor Wei did not have the idea of marrying her to obtain the military power of the Northwest Army. And the prince is also showing great interest in her at present, and it is likely that after Yuwen Mochi falls, he will calculate her. Therefore, for the sake of her safety, everyone hopes that she can be sent to a safe place in the south as soon as possible according to the original plan.

The final result of this day's deliberation was that Bai Yiyan went back to pack his things, handed over the important things to Mucang Hutong, and set off tomorrow with Doctor Jiang's team to buy medicine, and brought the things to the south first. Then continue to proceed according to the previous plan, take the fake death pill a few days later, withdraw from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and go south as soon as possible under the protection of Shen Rongzhi and Wu Wei. As for Bai Qingyun's whereabouts, we will discuss them in detail later.
