216 Hate
This night's conflict caused the expressions of several protagonists to be a little weird the next day, and Bai Poria secretly asked her father to send someone to make sure Yang Heng's safety, and then stayed by her father's side all day, not giving Hai Pushi a chance to talk closely.
She was a little angry with him, but more importantly, she was afraid.
Sea Pumice looked normal, but she just felt that he was angry, and it was very, very angry, so she didn't want to be cannon fodder.
When Zicao came back yesterday, she mentioned that there was something going on in the Relief Hall, and she was going to leave temporarily, so she disappeared early this morning. Hai Pu Shili came to invite Bai Chou and Bai Poria to leave for the headquarters of the Martial Arts League as guests, Bai Chou hesitated for a while, until Bai Poria tugged at his sleeve to signal, and then reluctantly nodded and agreed.
The next two days were spent in such a dreary and strange atmosphere, and Bai Poria felt very uneasy, she seemed to have a premonition that something bad was about to happen, but she couldn't find a clue.
The calm before the storm said that this was the current situation, but her father traveled all the way, and she was not too close to the sea pumice stone to ease the relationship, so she had to be secretly anxious in her heart.
The headquarters of the Wulin League is on the Wuhua Mountain five miles outside the city of Jianye in Kangzhou, and the Yecheng is the largest and most prosperous town in Kangzhou except for the state capital Lingyangcheng, and there are countless martial arts people who come and go here.
Hai Pumice wiped the disguise on his face, helped Bai Poria off the car, and explained: "The Martial Arts League stipulates that everyone needs to dismount and park here and walk into the villa. It's only a mile away from the gate of the villa, very close. ”
Bai Poria muttered: "The pomp is bigger than the emperor......"
Sea Pumice smiled and didn't argue.
The villa of the headquarters of the martial arts league occupies a large area, this Wuhua Mountain was rewarded by the founding emperor Taizu to the martial arts people who have the merit of the dragon, the status is transcendent, so many years by the members of the martial arts league continue to fund the repair and expansion, the scale is not inferior to the capital palace, but the overall style is a little messy.
But it's no wonder that most of the people in the martial arts have a rough personality, and those who are qualified to break ground in Wuhua Mountain are all old rivers and lakes with transcendent status, they are all arrogant and have their own set of ideas, how can they follow the style of their predecessors?
On weekdays, the headquarters of the Wulin League is financed by the members of each sect and hired by special housekeepers and servants to take care of it, and some individuals with more powerful positions even have their own exclusive courtyards in the villa. There will be at least three to five senior elders of the Martial Arts League in the villa to take turns to solve daily affairs.
In Bai Poria's view, these are very similar to some modern non-governmental chambers of commerce or industry organizations, she has always thought that the Wulin League is a rabble, gathering to fight and make trouble when they have nothing to do, but now it seems that they are really a little prejudiced.
This civil force cannot be underestimated, no wonder the royal court of the Qi State will reach out to this side. In the past, it was possible to achieve a balance of power through the disputes and entanglements between various sects and even between good and evil, but now that the control of both good and evil factions is in the hands of Hai Pushi alone, the emperor will inevitably be restless.
Hai Pushi has only been the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance and the leader of the Demon Sect for a few years, and his foundation is still shallow, so if he doesn't suppress his arrogance at this time or even pull him off the horse, when he has already fledged, the emperor will no longer be able to control him. The Martial Arts League and the Demon Sect will also become powerful bargaining chips in his hands that are enough to challenge the imperial power.
In this way, it is also reasonable for the emperor to clean up the sea pumice stone, and if Yang Heng ascends the throne, it will not change this general direction, Bai Poria is a little uneasy in her heart, she is very reluctant to see the day when these two brothers kill each other...... But as far as her longevity is concerned, I'm afraid that even if there is such a day, she won't be able to see it.
Early death and early rebirth is really a good way to escape reality......
The arrival of Hai Pu Shi with the Bai father and daughter caused quite a stir in the Martial Arts League. In recent days, the news that the leader of the martial arts alliance has a fiancée who looks like a fairy and comes from a wealthy official family has spread widely, and people who have seen Bai Poria in Pingzhou have spread her appearance to the heavens and the earth.
In particular, Hai Pushi's refusal of Wuyunmen, Jizhou Situ's family, Feiqiong Palace, and the former martial arts alliance leader Chidiyu proposed family affairs for her sake made people even more curious about this Miss Bai family.
As we all know, the young ladies of the four families such as Wuyunmen are all famous beauties in the martial arts, and all of them are supported by famous families or senior masters, how beautiful does this Miss Bai have to be so that the young and handsome martial arts alliance leader is willing to give up the entire garden and love her a flower, even at the expense of offending these famous families!
I don't want my daughter to send her to the door as a concubine, isn't this sea pumice stone crazy? Or is it because the Yue family is too powerful, so they don't dare to make a mistake?
There are also some people in the martial arts who have married the daughters of the official eunuchs in the middle of the family, but the famous high-ranking officials who are in power are absolutely unwilling to marry with the people in the martial arts, so few of them have seen the real ladies, this time I heard that Hai Pushi brought his fiancée and future father-in-law to the martial arts league, how can there be no reason not to rush to the onlookers?
Bai Chou thought that the matter between his daughter and the sea pumice stone was just a temporary expedient measure, and he was very reluctant for his daughter to appear in front of people as the fiancée of the sea pumice stone, and the matter of the name could not be used as a joke, for fear that the sea pumice stone would become more and more serious, and the deeper and deeper it would be, and it would not be so simple for the daughter to withdraw and leave.
Bai Poria felt that she had used the sea pumice stone, and she was ashamed in her heart, so now she could make him happy, and she couldn't resist her, but she really cared about the sea pumice stone, and she no longer stopped stopping her in desperation.
When the group stepped into the villa, there were already a lot of people standing in the square in front of them, including men, women and children, some of whom were servants and servants of the village, and some of whom were members of the martial arts league who were on duty in the village.
Bai Poria stood beside her father generously to visit, Hai Pumice took the initiative to introduce his future father-in-law and fiancée to everyone, although Bai Chou was very unhappy with his elongated face, but after all, he did not say anything to refute.
Hai Pushi was secretly strange in his heart while thanking the people who came to congratulate him, he deliberately said in advance today that he wanted to publicly introduce their identities to everyone, thinking that they would find all the reasons to refuse, but he didn't expect Bai Poria to agree without much thought, and quickly persuaded the white ugly who looked uneasy.
He remembered Bai Ling's sentence "I won't stay by his side all the time", in this case, why did they dare to let him announce their relationship with each other without any scruples? Could it be that they thought he had a good temper that would not care if they played him?
Impossible......
There were too many people to socialize along the way, and it took half a day to get to the place where I could rest in peace.
Since the identity was announced, it was the family of the Sea Alliance Lord, so the servants neatly sent the luggage of the Bai family's father and daughter to the alliance leader's residence, under the Star Picking Ridge.
The headquarters of the Wulin League also has a courtyard similar to the general branch for the alliance leader to live, which is also called the Zhengqi Courtyard, but the headquarters is much more magnificent, and the courtyard of the three entrances stands on the highest peak of Wuhua Mountain, the Star Picking Ridge, which is quite condescending, overlooking the solitary and lofty bearing of all beings.
Picking Star Ridge is surrounded by the river on three sides, there is only one mountain road for going up and down, and the three sides surrounded by the river are very steep mountain walls, if you want to climb up without taking the right path, you must at least have the skill of sea pumice.
Not only is the location of the Zhengqi Courtyard dangerous, but the courtyard wall is also ridiculously high, looking like an iron bucket from a distance, not like a residence, but like a military fortress.
Everyone was not allowed to set foot in the Star Picking Ridge without permission, and the ghost mortar carried the white poria on her back and carried a basket with a small raccoon flower to follow behind the sea pumice stone and the white ugly, and the ghost eye carried a large box much larger than her to salute, and followed the last person to the mountain like no one.
Bai Poria lazily put up the pergola and looked up at the righteous courtyard, and commented; "This martial arts alliance leader must be very hateful, otherwise there is no need to live in this kind of place, it is completely ready to be besieged and annihilated anytime and anywhere."
The sea pumice stone walking in front stiffened, and glared back at her, with a hint of a smile in his fierce eyes, Bai Poria knew that he was not really angry, and grinned back at him with a grimace.
Bai Chou suddenly interjected: "As far as I know, this place was originally called Sunshot Ridge, and Emperor Taizu gave Wuhua Mountain to Wulin League, because the name of this mountain ridge was taboo, so it was changed to Xingxingling." ”
Hai Pushi nodded and said: "Yes, when the Martial Arts League set up the Righteous Qi Courtyard here, it was actually a last resort, and it was really to leave a place of refuge for the people in the Martial Arts League's Villa." Over the years, the Wulin League has been attacked many times, and fortunately, it is fortunate that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it has been able to turn danger into disaster and avoid too many casualties. ”
When Bai Poria was in Beiguancheng, she also heard Uncle Sam and other elders tell her some legendary anecdotes in the martial arts as pillow stories, including the experience of the martial arts league almost falling several times, and I didn't feel it at the time, either the major forces in the martial arts league poured into each other's nests, or the demon sect united many side doors and left ways to attack, anyway, in the end, the martial arts league was always like an unbeatable cockroach and quickly came back to life.
This personal experience over the past year or so has made her understand that these are just appearances, and there may be hidden shadows of the struggle between the DPRK and China, and even the struggle for power between the emperor and the courtiers and local forces.
Looking at the star-picking ridge standing at the peak, I have a different feeling in my heart.
Bai Chou was sure that nothing would happen to his daughter with Hai Pumice...... What can come out has already happened, so after her daughter settled down, she proposed to leave the Wulin League to meet her father and wife.
He did this because he had the intention to avoid the proposal of the sea pumice, the sea pumice stone is worried that there is such a big light bulb in, everything is inconvenient, he is willing to take the initiative to leave is the best, just wait for him to leave, see how he cleans up the ruthless and unrighteous little fox!
Hai Pushi turned thousands of cruel methods in his heart that could make people survive and not die, but every time he thought of using it on Bai Poria Cocos, he knew that he couldn't do that hand at all, but he was extremely unwilling to let Bai Poria go.
He was aroused by what Bai Poria had done, and he no longer bothered to inquire into the secrets in her heart, if she wanted to use tricks against him, it would be up to her, and he would tell her with the facts that all those who dared to play him like a fool would pay a heavy price!
Bai Poria noticed that the eyes of the sea pumice stone accidentally stayed on her were very unkind, but if her father continued to stay by her side, she was embarrassed to get close to the sea pumice stone, how could the child be born if she was not close? Wasn't she busy before?
So although I felt a little hairy in my heart, I still couldn't help but not keep my father. Anyway, she thought that the sea pumice stone would not come to abuse her when her father was not there.
As a result, as soon as the white clown walked on his front feet, Hai Pumice dragged Bai Poria into the room, and wanted to solve the "lovesick suffering" she had suffered for several days, which made her scream for help.
The people in the Zhengqi Courtyard are all Hai Pumshi's henchmen, naturally no one will come to save her without interest, Bai Poria takes a medicinal bath three times a day, and still can't get rid of the traces and soreness on her body, and in the end, Hai Pumice Stone saw that her face was pale and she couldn't even open her eyes, so she reluctantly restrained and spared her.
Bai Poria lay on the bed for three days before she could breathe, and finally she couldn't get out of bed and walk around, and when Hai Pumice saw her in the garden, he pulled her and said that he wanted to take her to see the dowry.
Bai Poria felt weak when she heard something related to the wedding, but she was also a little curious about what made the so-called dowry so mysterious as Hai Pumice Stone.
Hai Pushi grabbed her thin waist and went to her room, Bai Poria was vigilant, stopped and said: "You said that you went to see the dowry, and you are not allowed to do anything else!" ”
Sea Pumice laughed evilly: "What else?" Madame said to hear it? ”
Bai Poria glared at him: "You know in your heart, I don't want to, you are not allowed to move, otherwise I will ignore you!" She was so sad that she couldn't find any effective threat to the Great Devil, and she felt ashamed to say such childish words.
Hai Pumice pinched her waist and said, "Okay, okay, you promise me that I can do it." Let's go! ”
"I won't promise you!" Bai Poria pouted.
Entering the room, the sea pumice stone rotated several vase ornaments on the Bogu shelf in turn, and after a while, he heard the sound of a mechanism operating, and then the bed slowly moved away, revealing a large hole in the floor under the bed.
"Let's go!" The sea pumice stone lit the oil lamp and pulled the white poria down the stairs by the cave.
The cave was extremely deep, and they walked along the stairs for nearly five minutes to reach a huge secret room, where the sea pumice stone put the oil lamp to the side and lit a thin fuse, and soon more than ten lamps and candles were lit in the stone room, and the scene in the room became clear.
The stone room was empty except for a set of tables and chairs in the middle, and a shelf on the side facing the stairs with a number of books stacked on it, as well as medicine bottles and a few boxy boxes.
Hai Pumice walked over with Bai Poria and said, "This secret room contains my most important things, and I will give them to you as a dowry." He said as he removed two boxes from the shelf and placed them on the table.
White Poria feels dry in her throat.
Can you not give her such a valuable thing? She can't afford it......
