People are terrible, and gossip in power struggles can be regarded as a very effective means of inflicting harm, and in the battlefield of confrontation between the two armies, this kind of trick is equally effective.

The contradiction between Yaoguo and Zhaoguo was completely caused by the crown prince Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige, the third lady of the Bai family, who betrayed Chengcheng and betrayed Zhaoguo first and then Yaoguo; The former loves the country and the beauty more, knowing that his wife has collaborated with the enemy and treason, he still tried his best to cover it up, and even deliberately gave up the opportunity and delayed the dispatch of troops when the two countries were at war; In addition, there is such a famous epicenter state as the Bai family in the middle, and in order to protect the young daughter of the family, he did not hesitate to rebel and overthrow the rule of King Min, which led to the current situation.

The above is exactly what is widely spread in the Yaojun and the capital of Zhaoguo these days.

I don't need to think about it to guess where the rumors of chaos in the world come from, but Yi Chenjing has nothing to do about it - even if he doesn't care about the promise he made to Emperor Yao, it is impossible to kill Yi Chenxuan in the army, unless he feels that he has nothing to love and wants to drag Bai Qige to die together.

Qiao Erhe tried to sneak out of the military camp many times to report to Bai Qige in the capital of Zhaoguo, but Yi Chenxuan had already ordered strict precautions through the mouths of the four veterans, let alone sneaking in, even if he wanted to get close. Seeing that the rumors are growing wildly day by day, Yi Chenjing gradually can't sit still, and the eyes of the officers and soldiers in the army are changing when they see him, this is still secondary, after all, he is the prince, even if he is dissatisfied, no one will jump out and accuse; What he didn't dare to imagine was the situation in the capital of Zhaoguo, those false rumors would definitely make the people of Zhaoguo dissatisfied and even rebellious, and the situation in which Bai Qige was located would become very delicate, or rather, dangerous.

The facts are indeed as Yi Chenjing thought, Bai Qige's life in Liang Shi became more and more sad.

"For the sake of safety, the palace has not allowed people to enter and leave the palace for the past two days, but someone still threw stones into the courtyard of the third lady, and Miss Yuche's arm was smashed. The rumors spread too widely, and we couldn't find out who was making trouble, and it seemed that we were not easy to appease the people......" The deputy general didn't dare to continue, and his eyes secretly looked at Bai Haocheng's tired face.

"If the rumors can't be stopped, people's hearts will be panicked. These people too, I explained so many times and they didn't listen. Knocking the corner of his forehead, Bai Haocheng took a deep breath and spit it out.

In the hall where the family gathered, Bai Qige was naturally also present, although the matter was related to her, she was more calm than Bai Haocheng emotionally: "Aren't people like this, they are always willing to listen to those gossips that are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood in times of chaos, because rumors always point to a certain person or certain people, with the so-called culprit, they can blame all the blame on a specific person, and there is a place to vent their complaints." In fact, it's no wonder that the people are dissatisfied, there is evidence in the country for defecting to the Anling Army, and I can't find anyone who can clarify for myself, in contrast, the people will of course choose to believe the rumors. 173”

"But when my sister was humiliated and married, and then she made military exploits in the Northern Expedition, what qualifications do they have to doubt my sister's loyalty?" Bai Haoyu took over the conversation and shouted.

Bai Qige shook his head: "Didn't you still have the matter of secretly offering the defense map before the marriage?" That incident had no result at all, and it was Chen Jing who forced Yun Zhongjin to say that the matter had nothing to do with me and barely calmed down. It's the same this time, if it weren't for the second brother's clarification, which of the people of Zhaoguo would think that someone framed me? Speaking of which, I blame myself for being careless, and I fell into the trap of others for a while. ”

"Alright, what's the use of talking about that now? The top priority at the moment is to appease the people's emotions, and they must not be allowed to listen to rumors and continue to mess around, otherwise they will die without waiting for the remote army to attack the city and Zhaoguo. Bai Jingfu slapped the table heavily, the veteran was still mighty, and the courage of the head of the family was fully revealed. Glancing at Bai Haocheng, who was physically and mentally exhausted, Bai Jingfu turned his gaze to Bai Qige, with a little heroic tenderness in his seriousness: "Qige, Dad knows that you don't want to go, but now the situation is not all caused by you. King Min is ignorant, biased to listen and believe, and the centuries-old foundation of the Zhao Kingdom has long been decayed, and one day it will bring about its own destruction. Dad also wants to open now, instead of waiting for the dynasty to fall, it is better to do his best to redeem it, the throne has changed hands, and the people are still alive, as long as I can help the people of Zhaoguo to be safe and worry-free, who does he care about as the king? Even if the people can't figure it out for a while, after a few years, decades, or centuries, there will always be a day when they figure it out. ”

Bai Qige is not a person who likes to feel sorry for herself, rather than regretting and feeling guilty, she hopes to find a solution to make up for her mistakes, but this time the situation is different from the past, the soldiers of the distant country and the people of Zhaoguo are involved, she really can't convince herself not to care, let alone ignore the life and death of the people and be alone.

But what could she do?

At present, she does not even have the strength to get out of the palace and face the angry people.

There was a sudden burst of softness and warmth from the back of her hand, and she looked up slightly, and it was Bai Haoyu squatting beside her like a child, with two hands on her palms, and her eyes looking up were bright and sincere: "Sister, I will never get into trouble in the future, and I will never let you and your father and mother worry again, I have agreed with my second brother that I will be a man in the future and protect my sister with my second brother." ”

Bai Qige looked towards Bai Haocheng, and the gentle pillars of the Bai family were also looking at her, and the gentleness in her eyes did not change.

Whether that look was family affection or something else Bai Qige didn't want to think about it anymore, she suddenly figured out that no matter what Bai Haocheng was, she just needed to treat him as a brother who she respected and admired all her life, his gentleness was different from Yi Chenjing, and he would never hurt her in any way - even if she had to hide her deep feelings and die alone.

After being silent for a long time, Bai Qige finally made up his mind: "Father, second brother, since we have made our attitude clear to Yaoguo and the other party intends to suppress it by force, it seems that it is impossible to seek a peaceful solution, I think...... Why don't we contact An Lingguo, and then we have to fight against Yaoguo together or whatever, at least with their support to get through the immediate difficulties. ”

"Anling?" Bai Jingfu gasped, his face was a little hesitant, "I heard Haocheng say that Anling Kingdom has some capable generals, but they are not orthodox after all......

"Dad, at this time, I am still thinking about what orthodoxy is not orthodox, the world is the world of the people, and no one is the destined prince of heaven. I agree with Qi Ge's idea, since he has already torn his face with Yaoguo, it is better to take a further position, and then we take care of orthodoxy, face, etc., will the people of Zhaoguo take care of it? What they are asking for is family reunion, food and clothing, isn't the Bai family's century-old fight just to give the people a country and peace and security? If Daddy still remembers the bloodline in King Min's bones, then he is putting the cart before the horse. ”

Bai Jingfu, who was "educated" by his son, also found that he had deviated from his original intention for many years as a minister, and waved his hand with a wry smile, his face was calm: "Old, old, your brain is not as clear as you young people." That's right, the Bai family has been Jinge Iron Horse for generations, for the peace of the people rather than for the king's enjoyment, so it seems that uniting Anling is the best way out. Haocheng, you can find a way to contact Wu Siying, and reach an agreement as soon as possible to solve the urgent need. After pondering for a moment, Bai Jingfu said thoughtfully: "Wu Siying is a proud and uninhibited eagle, and the person who can willingly serve him must be extraordinary, I really want to see who tames my most proud protégé." ”

Bai Jingfu rarely praised others in his life, and it was the first time that he praised Wu Siying, Bai Haocheng was surprised and also quite happy, if An Lingguo helped with one enemy and ten elite soldiers, the 40,000 troops outside the city were nothing at all.

Merely...... In this way, Bai Qige's trumped-up charges of collusion with An Lingguo are afraid to be confirmed.

"Second brother don't have to worry too much, justice is in the hearts of the people, and one day I will get my innocence back." As if seeing Bai Haocheng's hesitation, Bai Qige smiled, calm and peaceful.

She has her own considerations about this series of upsetting incidents, and it is hard to hear that Emperor Yao is weak and sick and can't last for a few years, even if he has given a lot of infuriating orders now, when Emperor Yao dies and Yi Chenjing takes over the throne, what is there to be innocent and not come back? Outsiders may think that she is cunning, treacherous and despicable in such an idea, but for Bai Qige, this is the only way to reunite with Yi Chenjing without hurting anyone.

Nothing is more important than family, loved ones, waiting or certain sacrifices, which must be endured when it is time to endure.

"General Bai, the spies have news back!" The lieutenant general suddenly broke in, followed by the scout camp spies, covered in dust and a few scars.

Most of the spies sent outside the city returned in vain, and it was not easy to find out the news and come back, Bai Haocheng hurriedly put people in his seat and poured another cup of tea, and waited for the spies to breathe evenly before asking: "What news is there from the remote army?" ”

"The Yao Army has indeed removed the main general, but it has not been replaced by a new one, but is commanded by four generals, all of whom are experienced veterans." The spy took a few sips of tea, wiped his mouth with a long sigh and said, "It was the order of these old generals to turn attack into defense, and let the Yao army surround Liang Shi in an attempt to cut off the import of our army's supplies. ”

Bai Haocheng frowned and nodded slightly: "As expected, Wei Huan's ability is not enough to reverse the situation, but I didn't expect Emperor Yao to be willing to make such a big effort to send four veterans to deal with the little vassal country, which is probably the most exciting in the history of Yao Kingdom." ”

The spy seemed to have something to say, turned his head and saw Bai Qige standing beside him, and suddenly stopped talking, Bai Qige immediately understood that the next thing was probably related to her, held his breath, and deliberately behaved calmly and calmly: "If you have anything, just say it, don't delay the fighter." ”

Looking at Bai Qige and Bai Hao City, seeing that no one else had the intention of stopping him, the spy swallowed his saliva, and said lightly hesitantly: "The person with four old men is said to be the King of Anning of Cangwu County......

Cangwu County, King of Tranquility.

The unfamiliar name evoked a hasty memory, Bai Qige's chest was stuffy for a while, and the name squeezed out between his teeth was full of hatred.

"It's him...... Yi Chenxuan. ”

The haunting man, the endless conspiracy, when Bai Qige was haunted by the nightmarish name, the spy gently threw out words that made her eyes black and she almost fainted.

"Also, the Yao army has not been at peace recently, and many soldiers have listened to rumors and are making trouble, and they are not forced to abdicate the prince of Yao Guo, unless they ...... Unless the crown prince takes a leave of absence from the third lady and leads his troops to war. ”
