Chapter 84: General Sima

Before General Sima could stand up, a man in gray who had been following him hurriedly pulled him and whispered something in his ear, and it was this sentence that made General Sima sit back in his seat stiffly and breathe poorly. Then, the man in gray looked at Bai Lilan and said with a smile, "Princess, although the old slave doesn't know where you got the so-called 'evidence', these have nothing to do with the matter to be discussed today. Since we all have limited time, it is better to exchange our cooperation intentions in short. ”

Pointing his finger at the man in gray, Baili Lan showed a foxy smile and said, "It's easy to do things, I like it!" In fact, the purpose of coming here today is tacitly understood by each other, and General Sima does not need to doubt my decision-making ability, it can be said that what I decide, the prince will agree with my choice. Saying that, Bai Lilan handed the seal of the Lanling Palace, let him look at it, and then retracted it on his cuffs, and continued, "This is the prince's personal seal, it represents the real power of the prince, so General Sima will not suspect anything!" ”

General Sima seemed to be still angry about what had just happened, so after seeing the letter, he just snorted coldly and turned his head to the other side. However, the man in gray took a closer look, and then said with a smile: "If the princess had taken this thing out just now, she would not have noticed these unpleasantness." ”

"I'm overestimating your receptivity, I'm sorry!" Bai Lilan bent the corners of her mouth and said without scruples, "Since you talk about the purpose, then I'll just say it." General Sima also knew that the Emperor of Beining had a desire for greed for Lanling, and if we let it go, it would not be long before Lanling would be overthrown by Emperor Beining, and the old prince's painstaking efforts would be ruined. As the lord of Lanling, of course, the prince will not watch his father's hard work being destroyed, so we will do our best to protect Lanling. Hearing this, General Sima may feel that we are going to ask you for troops and rebel together. In fact, you are completely overly concerned, because it is up to General Sima to decide whether to send troops or not, and if it is beneficial to you, I don't need to say more, you will also know this choice. It's just that I would like to remind General Sima that since you think the news is fake, have you considered who released the news? If you want to erase General Sima's prestige, who can you bring benefits? ”

General Sima was stunned and asked rhetorically, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"It's not what I mean, but what Emperor Bac Ninh means!" Bai Lilan sneered, and then said, "General Sima only knows that he is sincere about Beining, but he never thought that the Emperor of Beining was already suspicious of you!" ”

General Sima felt a pang in his heart, and secretly asked how this girl knew such a detailed idea, but he still said with righteousness on his face: "The old man is doing a good job, and he is not afraid of those unfounded gossips at all!" ”

Bai Lilan smiled mockingly and said, "General Sima is going to be alone?" Hmph, it seems that General Sima is really forgetful, it's only been a few years, and he has already forgotten the example of my father! Bai Lilan stood up, raised her chin slightly, and said with a grim gaze, "Emperor Beining shamelessly brutalized Zhongliang because of the endless desire in his heart, not only Beining was damaged, but many families were also torn apart because of it. It is ridiculous that there are still people who continue to be sincere to Emperor Bac Ninh, thinking that their blind obedience will be exchanged for the favor of Emperor Bac Ninh. But the result? It's just the merciless killing after the rise of power! General Sima may feel that he has a heavy army in his hands, and the emperor will also rely on you, so he is not afraid, but you must know that your power comes from the emperor, if he decides to abandon you, there is a way to take away your military power, if you save trouble, you can also arrange some 'accidents', so that you can 'bravely do justice', and the power will naturally return to the emperor's hands. Just like now, after he wanted to kill General Sima, he killed your only son, but let Ling Lang escape by luck. When he couldn't make a plan, he took a bite back, let out his mouth, and spread some rumors that would damage Ling Lang's reputation, as a weapon to attack General Sima. Half-turned around gracefully, Bai Lilan raised her eyebrows and looked at General Sima, her eyes full of sarcasm, as if she was laughing at General Sima's naivety and stupidity.

His fists clenched unconsciously, and General Sima's face flushed, as if he was holding back a wave of anger.

His eyes lingered between his master and Baili Lan, and the man in gray suddenly stood up, eased the embarrassing atmosphere, and said: "Heh, the princess may think too much, the emperor is the king of a country, how can it be as unsightly as the princess said." It's not early today, even if the princess is thoughtful and different from ordinary people, but she is also a woman, and it is not good to wander outside, you say yes! ”

Bai Lilan didn't refute it, picked up the hooded cloak with his backhand, and walked with Wuyan, preparing to leave the teahouse. But standing at the door of the private room, Bai Lilan turned around and looked at General Sima, her red lips were charmingly hooked, and her voice was tactful but with fatal demagogy and said: "Whether it is to die in vain, or to give it a go, General Sima should think about it, even if it is not for yourself, you must think about it for future generations, don't be like the Dingnan Palace, and finally make the children and grandchildren scatter!" After finishing speaking, Bai Lilan no longer paid attention to the unpredictable General Sima, and left the teahouse with Wuyan.

After Baili Lan left, General Sima lost all his disguises, just like an ordinary old man in the world, and his eyes were full of loneliness and old age.

Leaning back weakly, General Sima's eyes were slightly closed, and he said in a desolate voice: "Old Chang, do you say that what the girl said will be true?" ”

"Actually, there is no need for the old slave to say, the general already has the answer in his heart. It's just that you're still willing to face reality. ”

Hearing this, General Sima shook his head tiredly and said with a smile: "Hehe, yes, even a girl can see through things, but I am still hesitating." Lao Chang, do you say that it is because Baili Lan has experienced the tragic changes in the Dingnan Palace, and now he will point out the conspiracy of the Emperor of Beining with sharp eyes? No, I see that when she mentioned King Dingnan, her emotions did not fluctuate, it should be Nangong Jingchen's kid who taught her to say this. ”

Lao Chang didn't agree with General Sima's statement, and bowed down and said: "The old slave thinks that no matter whether or not he has experienced the tragedy of Dingnan Palace, Baili Lan is Bai Lilan, and he is no longer the straw bale beauty of the past. Haven't you heard the legend about her, it was very popular in Beining for a while, and I think it was also her intelligence, which assisted King Lanling to a certain extent, so that they would take precautions immediately after the emperor made a decision, so as not to fall into a passive situation. General, from this point of view, we still have to learn from these two juniors. Princess Lanling is right, if she is blindly loyal, she will end up like the King of Lanling, Emperor Beining, not Mingjun! ”

The old slave beside him had been with General Sima for most of his life, and his words made General Sima fall into deep thought.

After leaving the teahouse, Wuyan kept looking at Baili Lan, although there was a mask between the two, Bai Li Lan knew that he must be looking at himself and laughing.

"Hey, what are you looking at!" Bai Lilan didn't like the feeling of being stared at, so she glared back, and her tone was not good.

lowered his eyes slightly, and said with a shameless smile: "I didn't mean to make fun of you, I just think that your attitude just now is not like asking for someone at all, if my cousin sees it, he will definitely be scared to death by you." ”

With a chuckle, Bai Lilan said: "What's the use of begging, if you want him to really participate in the plan, you have to make him afraid from the bottom of his heart, only fear can make people break through all obstacles, regardless of everything." Even if you ask Nangong Jingchen to come, he will agree with my approach. ”

"Maybe, who made you both crazy." Shameless smiled, thinking that these two people were really getting more and more alike.

In fact, Baili Lan's agitation method really worked, and on the second day, General Sima took the initiative to find Nangong Jingchen and hid in the secret room to discuss important matters. And this time, Bai Lilan did not watch the battle, but hid in the room with the maidservant girl and studied the chess game. In Baililan's words, she has also worked hard for several days, and it is time to rest and let the men worry about these annoying intrigues.

It's just that he didn't have a pastime for half a day, and the little guy next to Nangong Jingchen came over, saying that General Sima had just left, and Nangong Jingchen had unbearable leg pain, so he asked the Chunfeng girl to hurry over and take a look.

Listening to the anxiety that the little guy said, Bai Lilan's heart tightened, and she hurriedly went to check with the spring breeze. But when she saw Nangong Jingchen, Bai Lilan's face was stunned, and then her eyes narrowed dangerously, and she said, "Nangong Jingchen, didn't you say that your leg pain is unbearable, why can you still sit there and eat apples without changing your face!?" ”

Looking up at Baili Lan, Nangong Jingchen suddenly smiled and said, "It was indeed unbearable pain just now, but now it doesn't hurt at all, and if you grab it with your hands, you still have sense!" As he spoke, Nangong Jingchen thrashed his legs, looking novel, like a child looking for a new toy.

Looking at Nangong Jingchen's inquiring expression, Baili Lan's heart was inexplicably soft, and then slowly approached Nangong Jingchen, looked at his legs and said: "It's just that you have a consciousness, you are so happy, so when he can stand up and walk, don't you want to jump into the sky with joy?" This is not what a calm Lanling King should do. Bai Lilan said as she squatted down and rubbed back and forth on Nangong Jingchen's legs to relieve the muscle tension in Nangong Jingchen's legs.

Laughing embarrassedly, Nangong Jingchen looked at Baili Lan's pure and beautiful side, and said, "With Lan'er taking care of it so much, I will definitely try my best to get better." It's been a hard time for you. ”

"Knowing that I am hard, I obediently cooperate with the spring breeze treatment, I heard that you secretly changed the decoction yesterday, such a childish thing, only a five-year-old naughty boy would do it, I didn't expect you to join in the fun!" Bai Lilan glared at Nangong Jingchen, not caring at all that there were slaves and maids around.

Seeing this, several maids of Baili Lan secretly covered their lips and smiled, and Wuyan was also amused by Nangong Jingchen's helpless appearance of grabbing the bag, and for a while, the atmosphere in the room was peaceful.

"Okay, since we have negotiated the results with General Sima, then let's go back to Lanling as soon as possible, and if it is later, I am afraid that the stand-in of the prince will not be able to hold on."

A shameless sentence pulled everyone back to reality who had forgotten their worries for a while, and began to prepare for the journey.
