Chapter 147: The Return of the King (1)
"Although there is a saying in this world that 'soldiers come before saluting', what the Bai family has done is also excessive. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info "Yue Yin followed Shen Xian and others, all the way to the Bai family Zongfu with Bai Tong, originally "preconceived", she was extremely dissatisfied with the Bai family's way of doing things, at this time Bai Tong said that he was going to the "main hall of the sect" to discuss matters, and let the waiter in the house hold the lamp, but he walked to a more remote courtyard, and said "arrived" to everyone.
Looking at the dead leaves floating all over the courtyard, the remnants of the wind and the thin trees, no one needs to say more, the clear-eyed people know that this place is withering, and I am afraid that no one cares, or they have the heart to come to clean up, and finally there is such a barren and decaying, which is embarrassing!
Bai Tong didn't give Shen Xian and the others an explanation, but glanced at the elders and the attendants who accompanied them, and asked them to retreat, and then turned his face and said with a smile: "Although this courtyard looks desolate and dilapidated on the outside, there is something on the inside. I'm not afraid of your jokes, this is my usual place to retreat!"
As he spoke, he made a gesture of greeting, and when Shen Xian and a few people walked into the courtyard suspiciously, he followed, took the initiative to go to the front, and pushed open the door of the hut in the courtyard.
The furnishings in this house are very ordinary, and they do not reveal the luxury of the family, but it can be seen that there are traces of people living here all year round.
And the lights in the house are not bright, just half of the incense burned, which is slightly elegant.
Bai Tong arranged for a few people to sit in the hut, and then said: "My Bai family has always paid attention to etiquette and rules, and rarely welcomes guests late at night. A few people came from afar, and what they planned was a major event to marry my Bai family, they were originally 'guests', and those juniors of my Bai family were used to being rebellious, so they neglected you, this is my Bai family's rudeness, as the head of the family, I should make amends!"
As he spoke, he bowed respectfully to the people, looking humble.
Then he continued: "But the rules of my Bai family can't be broken, so I can't welcome a few people into the main hall of the sect mansion. ”
Shen Xian frowned when he heard this, although Bai Tong's words were not unreasonable, but he felt a trace of uneasiness for no reason.
Bai Tong obviously noticed the slight change in Shen Xian's expression, he straightened his expression and put the topic on the right track, but asked, "I don't know who the family affairs mentioned by a few people who came here are they for? Is it the young marshal of Yunguo? or ...... You princess of the Cloud Kingdom?"
Shen Xian responded, "It's the commander of the Thundercloud Army, Di Meng!"
Bai Tong let out an "oh" in surprise, he really didn't expect that Shen Xian and the others would just come to propose marriage on behalf of a commander!
Mo said that his Bai family is a famous family of Shenwu, and he is also an indispensable neutral force in the imperial court in Shuwei. But right now, Shen Xian actually let a small military commander come to propose marriage, and he can't help but look down on his Bai family too much!
Bai Tong was naturally a little displeased, but still asked: "I don't know this ...... Which daughter of the Bai family is in love with the commander?"
Shen Xian heard the displeasure in Bai Tong's words, but he didn't pay attention to it, raised his head with his chest up, and said in a straight voice: "It is the eldest daughter in the line of the head of the family, Miss Bai Jingyu!"
Bai Tong laughed and said: "You want to marry my Bai family, so that you can take the opportunity to use my Bai family's power in Shu to launch a coup d'état, this can be understood! After all, the lord of Yun Kingdom, Zheng Shaoshuai, including Princess Yunjin who came on this trip, was once the young master of my Shu Wei Kingdom, if you can restore the imperial power, as a loyal and good Shu Wei Guo, I Bai Tong should also be pleased! It's just ...... You actually came to tease me and let me marry the eldest daughter of the Bai family clan to a little leader who has no name and no power and was once a traitor of the devil's way, you can't help but look down on my Bai family too much, right? If you and the other people of the Yun Kingdom still know the word 'shame', then don't bother talking here, get out of here quickly!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, this Bai Tong's face changed faster than turning a book! Recalling his respect, Shen Xian felt that Bai Tong was not as upright as the rumors in the rivers and lakes, but he was quite a city in his heart, and he was good at disguise.
It's just that he can't feel that kind of treacherous spirit from Bai Tong, so he is quite puzzled by his "change of face"!
But Yue Wuya comprehended a little, and immediately put a few juniors behind him, and took the initiative to say: "This Di Meng commander, although his name is not famous, and he was once a person in the Demon Dao, but there is a saying since ancient times, 'The prodigal son does not change his money', he can understand the way of justice and loyalty, it is not because he was influenced by the kindness of the eldest lady of the Bai family." And the Buddha also says, 'Saving a person's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter', and the eldest lady of the Bai family can make this demon master change his mind and face, and he will have great merit in this heaven! If Commander Di and Miss Bai can tie the knot, it will not only be the blessing of my Yun Kingdom, but also the merit of your Bai family, and everyone in the world will praise it! How can such kindness and fame be called teasing?"
Bai Tong's expression softened a little, and he responded: "The words of 'Martial God Power' are indeed reasonable...... But this is just a conjecture at the moment, if you are really sincere, why not wait for this Di Commander to make great contributions to your Yun country, and then come to propose marriage after being rewarded with a title? What's more, my Bai family is established with 'loyalty' in the Shu Guardian Kingdom, if I am friendly with you Yun Kingdom at this time, I will definitely be suspicious of the slanderous ministers. And as the head of the family, I don't want to bury the holy name of the ancestors, so this family business ......"
"It turns out that he doesn't want to marry Qin and Jin with my Yun Kingdom, and wants to protect his name of loyalty and righteousness of the Bai family!" Shen Xian listened to the doorway, and then recalled the "ridiculous things" done by the Bai family, and knew that all this was designed by Bai Tong, and the purpose was naturally to reject this "family business".
But Bai Tong changed his words and said: "It is not impossible for this family matter to be decided, if you can use the power of my Bai family to form a good alliance with Yun Guo, although there will be suspicion, it is also quite beneficial." It's just that this wedding date needs to be postponed, and there is still a thing to be left as a token!"
What Bai Tong refers to is naturally the "Qiankun sword" brought by Shen Xian's trip!
Shen Xian's eyes rolled, he already understood Bai Tong's thoughts, and immediately asked Yue Yin to hold the Qiankun sword, handed it to Bai Tong, and said: "Since the head of the family has the heart to marry Qin and Jin with my Yun Kingdom, how can my Yun Kingdom be stingy? Since I need this 'love token', this Qiankun Sword is the best choice! As for the marriage period mentioned by the head of the family, why don't we wait for my Yun Kingdom to deal with the merger of Wuzhou and Youzhou, and then discuss it in detail?"
When Bai Tong heard this, his expression changed a little, and he was obviously a little surprised.
But Shen Xian didn't give Bai Tong a chance to refuse, and immediately gave Qiankun a sword, and said a few words of gossip briefly, and then left the Bai family with Yue Yin and the others.
When he got out of Bai Jincheng, Di Meng, who had been silent, couldn't hold back any longer, and pulled Shen Xian and asked loudly: "I said Brother Shen, didn't you come to say goodbye to me this time?" Why, why didn't I even see Yu'er's face, and I didn't even leave a marriage contract, so I came out of the Bai family?"
Shen Xian made a quiet gesture, and said to the rest of the people as he walked: "I think Bai Tong is not willing to promise this family business at all, you think, before his Bai family obstructed everything, just because we have the strength to break through, he Bai Tong is unwilling to make things bigger, or lose face in front of us again, so he took the initiative to appear, with Brother Di, you and the Bai family's loyalty to shirk! Of course, although it is a shirk, but I think Bai Tong's loyalty to Shu Weiguo is sincere, so he is unwilling to promise family affairs. If he is a little reluctant, as the head of his family, how can he not know that he still needs to write a marriage contract to prove that he has set a complex? In this way, he has not written down the marriage contract, but also uses my Qiankun sword as a token of love, which is to covet the name of Qiankun a sword, I am afraid that he wants to dedicate this sword to the emperor of Shu Weiguo, so as to show the loyalty of the Bai family and cut off the 'gossip' created by our trip!"
Di Meng was not stupid, and after thinking about it, he asked: "In this case, won't we come here to 'lose our lady and break our soldiers'?"
Shen Xian smiled and said: "Not really! Don't you forget that the prime minister asked us to come down at night for the purpose of 'persecuting' Bai Tong? Since he has the heart to accept the Qiankun sword we sent, this matter is confirmed in the end! In this way, let's continue to act according to the plan! Brother Di, I am tired of you going back to Fuzhou, and I am bound to inform the prime minister and the little lord of this news, and remember to spread the news along the road that we will give the Qiankun sword to Bai Tong as a dowry. Presumably, when the Tang family hears the news, someone will come to help!"
Di Meng smiled and said, "You are really cunning!"
After that, he didn't look at Shen Xian's reaction at all, turned around and rode away without a trace...... (To be continued.) )
