182 Departure from Beijing

Since the death of his mother, Yang Heng has had very little contact with the emperor, and can only guess his intentions from memories and some of the emperor's public actions. After he returned to the capital from Beiguancheng, the emperor began to secretly send people to contact him, and at the same time, through Princess Antai, he expressed his concern for him, although the two fathers and sons did not meet often, but they felt a lot closer.

Including the plan to clean up the two forces of the Mao family and the Xia family, Yang Heng also played an important role in it, cooperating with the emperor to maximize the role of the plan.

After the power of the Mao family and the Xia clan was overthrown, the emperor openly regarded him as his most important son and the future heir of the Qi State, not only let him go to the court to listen to the government, but also always let him observe and learn from the side to discuss national affairs with the ministers in the imperial study, and began to hand over a lot of real power to him, such treatment even the eldest prince and the second prince had never enjoyed before.

Yang Heng was certainly happy, but after years of tempering, his heart had already become extremely calm, and in the face of the sudden favor, he was not really excited to get carried away, but in more contact with the emperor, more and more vigilance was generated.

The emperor spent more than 20 years in order to defeat the Mao and Xia families, and this forbearance and the ruthlessness of sacrificing his two sons without hesitation were enough to make Yang Heng secretly frightened.

The old man on the dragon chair, in addition to being his father, has a more important identity as the emperor! And for everyone, including their biological children, the identity of this old man is first and foremost the emperor, the emperor who determines their life and death!

Yang Heng is no longer a child who needs the affection of father and son, and the emperor's various favors are more of a compensatory psychology in his opinion - because of the power of the Mao family and the Xia family, he had to watch the woman he liked die in the deep palace, and the son he valued the most could not be close, so once the Mao family and the Xia family fell, the emperor had to vent all the things he wanted to do but couldn't do.

The Heavenly Family is ruthless, and the emperor has been estranged from Yang Heng for many years, not so much that he wants to be good to Yang Heng, but that he is once in power and wants to show his supreme authority. Yang Heng was not carried away by the appearance of the scenery, he knew very well that when the emperor's enthusiasm for him subsided, the real test was behind.

However, he is no longer willing to live on the "family affection" of the emperor's charity, especially after these recent events, he has a deeper understanding that only when the power is in his own hands can he have the right to do whatever he wants. Relying on others to give is subject to others, and the so-called fame, fortune and wealth in front of you may be taken back by others at any time.

Yang Heng had always known very well what he wanted, he looked sideways at the white Poria with a cold little face beside him, and said in a low voice: "I don't like it here either, but one day I will make it what I like." ”

Bai Poria glanced at him with little interest and said, "Good luck then." ”

Yang Heng suddenly wanted to pull her into his arms and force her into his body, or swallow her into his stomach one by one, this heartless little girl, no matter what she said, she unabashedly showed her intention to break off the relationship with him, and she clearly told him that she didn't care about him, didn't care what he planned to do, and didn't even care about him as a person!

If he said the same rebellious words to other confidants, I am afraid that they would either be frightened and turn pale or worry about the hardships and dangers he was about to face, and the woman in front of him who he cared about the most would send him away with a casual "good luck", afraid or worried, as if he was just talking nonsense about the weather being better tomorrow.

Yang Heng had a deep sense of powerlessness, as if no matter what he did, the final result was blocked back by Bai Poria without hesitation, and all his efforts were like fists hitting cotton, with nowhere to focus.

It's really self-inflicted! Why are you only interested in this little girl? Yang Heng smiled bitterly, he suddenly felt that it was more difficult than impressing the little evil girl in front of him than to seize the throne and usurp the throne and become the emperor!

The most important thing is that he doesn't have enough time to attack her at the moment, but fortunately, the little evil girl is still young, and with her temperament, she shouldn't be easily deceived by other men, except for ......

"You have a good relationship with the Sea Alliance Lord?" Yang Heng thought of his subordinates' reports, he didn't want to guess, so he simply asked directly. In fact, Bai Poria had contact with Sea Pumice, and he knew it early on, but the subordinates in charge of secretly listening to the news could only simply report the fact that the two met and Bai Poria helped the victims of the Jining'an River for the Wulin League and Jiqiao Tang, and it was impossible to infer what Bai Poria had about the Sea Pumice Stone.

Bai Poria had a headache when she heard the name of the sea pumice stone, and she said in a vicious voice without thinking about it: "What a ghost! ”

Yang Heng's heart froze, he didn't feel happy at all, but a bad premonition swelled up, he had never seen Bai Poria have such intense emotions for a specific person.

"His identity is a bit complicated, you should be careful." Yang Heng felt that his voice was astringent.

"Got it...... "Afterthought!" Bai Poria was so depressed that she didn't even want to speak. Yang Heng and Hai Pumice are actually half-brothers, and their mothers are two sisters who have a very good relationship, so it is not surprising that Yang Heng will know the identity of Hai Pumice.

It's just that why didn't you wait until she was unlucky enough to provoke this big devil to remind her?

Yang Heng and Bai Poria walked all the way to the palace gate, watched Bai Poria get into the car and return to the old mansion, before turning around and leaving in his car.

Bai Poria returned to the old mansion and briefly explained what happened today, the three heads of the Bai family had heavy faces, and Bai Changshan sighed and said, "I was thinking about whether Ling'er could stay in Beijing for a few more days...... That's it, anyway, the luggage has been almost packed, it's too late to pack, go back and send someone to send it, tomorrow, tomorrow Ling'er will go back to Beiguan City first! ”

Although the Bai couple was reluctant, they had no objection, and immediately ordered to go down and prepare to leave Beijing early tomorrow.

The Bai family is all action-oriented, arranged overnight, and the next morning, all the personnel and horses were prepared, and the Bai family's guards elected thirty people to accompany them, and the maids only brought Bai Guo, Bai Peony and Yangmei, and the rest of the maids and stewards stayed in Beijing temporarily.

In the whole team, only Yangmei and Bai Poria are not skilled in martial arts, once something happens, Bai Shao, Bai Guo and other guards are not weak in martial arts, and they can concentrate on protecting Bai Poria. Yangmei is responsible for taking care of the division of labor and various chores along the way.

White Poria cocos, ginkgo seeds, and white peony, one is lazy and doesn't like to take care of things, one is lively and active, and the other is not good at management.

The luggage was also reduced to nothing, except for the things that were to be used on the road, so that they would not have to be distracted, and even then the convoy was still six large carts, not counting the twenty horses that accompanied the caravan.

Bai Poria's eye-catching ebony carriage had left the city early the night before and stopped in a farm next to the official road on the outskirts of the city, and the group set off from the old mansion the next morning.

Bai Poria has been in this world for more than ten years, and it is the first time that she has to be separated from her parents for so long, although it is a happy thing to leave the capital, but when she thinks of leaving her father and mother for a few months, she can't help but be reluctant, and buried in her mother's arms for a while before saying: "Mother, the matter in the capital is over, you have to come to Beiguan City quickly!" ”

Mu Peilan's eyes were red, she didn't say a word, nodded and held back her tears to send her daughter to the car. Seeing this, Bai Chou said distressedly: "Why don't I go back with Ling'er." ”

Bai Poria glanced at her grandfather, who was also full of reluctance and white hair, shook her head and said, "Daddy stayed in the capital to take care of grandpa and mother, and Ling'er is waiting for you in Beiguan City." "Grandpa waited for so many years to find Daddy, he is old, and the capital is not easy to treat, it is better to have his father by his side to take care of him than to fight alone as an old man.

Lin Pingzi suddenly interjected: "Why don't I go back with you, Ah Wu and Ah Eleven can't take care of themselves." ”

Bai Poria raised her head and glared at him and said, "Peace of mind when your loyal prince goes, how much money my family can make in the capital depends on you!" Lin Pingzi was very sad when he was hit, and "Chu Chu pitiful" looked at Bai Poria cocos.

Bai Poria pulled him over and said in a low voice: "You promise me one thing, before Yang Heng is done, don't get too close to him openly, and help him in private to avoid the eyes and ears of others, especially the emperor and other princes." ”

Lin Pingzi is a smart person, and he has long noticed that the relationship between Yang Heng and the emperor is not as fatherly and filial as others see, and he frowned and said, "Are you afraid that his affairs will be repeated?" ”

Bai Poria nodded and said: "You and I both know that he will succeed in the end, but I don't know how many difficulties and dangers there are in between, we want to help him, but we can't take ourselves together." And he is always the one who wants to be the emperor, you must not forget his identity and treat him as a friend who talks about everything and makes friends on an equal footing...... My grandfather's current situation, you should be clear. ”

Lin Pingzi's face changed: "Yang Heng, he shouldn't be as mean and unkind as the emperor......"

"Yang Heng is not a mean and unkind person, but in that position, many things can't be based on his likes and dislikes, and his thoughts will slowly change, you must understand what I mean if you are so smart." Bai Poria said lightly.

Lin Pingzi nodded silently, he didn't necessarily understand the thinking of a creature like the emperor, but he never doubted what Bai Poria said, although he knew that she was a little girl who was a little younger than him.

Lu Ying was training the Imperial Forest Army in the West Daying***, and Bai Poria left early and didn't have time to inform him, so he left a letter to trust Lin Pingzi to hand over to him, and waved goodbye to everyone and got into the car and left.

The carriage passed through the west gate of the capital smoothly and headed towards Beiguan City in the morning light. Shortly after leaving the city gate, several fast horses came up from behind, and two of the knights galloped to the front of the convoy to stop them, and shouted, "Please stay!" ”

Bai Poria lifted the curtain and saw Yang Heng riding a black horse running to her car.
