Things are developing faster than Bai Li imagined, I thought that Qingguo Gong and Lord Xin would wait for Gao Zhan to bring those people from He Jiabao to the capital before acting. Who would have thought that on the night when Bai Li and they were "invited" to the Qingguo Mansion, they broke into the palace.

The sound of fighting passed through the high palace walls and reached the ears of every common man. Everyone closed the door, hid in the room and shivered, and no one dared to go out to look, they only hoped that this war would not harm them.

The fire started from the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace, and the fire lit up half of the palace.

In the Qingguo Mansion, two people sat side by side on the roof of the observation tower, and the courtyard was full of soldiers, each holding a bow and crossbow in their hands. The rooftops around the observation tower are also full of archers, but when the Bai couple goes downstairs, the arrows in their hands will break through the air.

Although they were surrounded by many archers, the Bai couple did not feel nervous at all, they looked in the direction of the palace, while listening to the sound of fighting from the palace, while watching the firelight in the sky, they watched and chatted as if they were watching a play.

Bai Li: Husband, am I too confident, I thought that Qingguo Gong and Master Xin invited us here because they were worried that we would affect their plans, but now it seems that you and I are not in their plans at all.

Bai Ze: Hmm.

Bai Li: Also, also, when I was in Huaxi Town, I thought that Master Xin warmly invited us to help him and to help him and his mentor set things right. Now I know, he and Qingguo Gong are the mess, and the one we thought was positive before, and we didn't even see a shadow.

Bai Ze: Hmm.

Bai Li: I was nervous before I came, for fear that I would delay the important event of saving the country and the people. Now I know that we, as a corner, don't even have a chance to officially come to power. Not to mention us, even Gao Zhan didn't have a chance to come to power. Now he is afraid that he will still be escorting the prisoner halfway through. But there's one problem I can't figure out.

Bai Ze: What can't you figure out?

Bai Li: Since we have no sense of existence, why did Lord Xin arrange for Gao Zhan to take the prisoners to Beijing, why did he still persuade us to go to Beijing, wouldn't it be better to leave us in Huaxi Town.

Bai Ze: Lord Xin had two purposes for letting Gao Zhan go to Beijing, one was for the mantis in Gao Zhan's hand. The second is to ask those people in Hejiabao to participate in the follow-up restoration work of the capital. Qingguo Gong should be the person behind the red clothes, that is, the real master of He Jiabao, and he needs that part of the people to help him continue to do things. As for letting us come to the capital, it is natural to put us under our noses and watch. After the incident of He Jiabao, Lord Xin knows better than anyone that only I can surrender the praying mantis. The reason why he wants to keep us is to prevent us from interfering with his work, so that we can sit here and watch the play quietly. ”

Bai Li: There's another question.

Bai Ze: Madame, please speak.

Bai Li: If Qingguo Gong is the master behind this He Jiabao, then why did he instruct Lord Xin to raid his own home, isn't this lifting a stone to hit his own feet, it's a superfluous move.

Bai Ze: The matter of He Jiabao was definitely not instructed by Qingguo Gong to be done by Lord Xin, but the "Zheng" that Mrs. just said is the real mentor of Lord Xin. He is a loyal minister, he is wholeheartedly loyal to this emperor, he sensed the conspiracy of Qingguo Gong, so he arranged for Lord Xin to go to Huaxi Town, wanting to destroy the conspiracy of Qing Guogong with the help of Lord Xin, but what he didn't expect was that Lord Xin, who he trusted the most, betrayed him and became Qing Guogong's right-hand man.

Bai Li: And then?

Bai Ze: Lord Xin should have used a strategy to do something behind the scenes of Hejiabao, otherwise tonight's night attack would not have gone so smoothly. As for what he did, I don't bother to calculate, and I guess you're not interested in hearing it, Madame.

Bai Li: I'm not really interested. The reason why I dragged you into Beijing in the first place was because I was worried that Gao Zhan would be involved. Knowing that he was fine, I was not interested in participating. Whether it is the country or the court, it is all someone else's family after all, and it has nothing to do with us. That Qingguo Gong is right, the emperor can sit on anyone, the key is to see who can bring a more stable life to the people. As far as the current emperor is concerned, he is indeed a little unqualified. Far from it, Huaxi Village and Huaxi Town alone have been tossed in the past two years.

Before he finished speaking, he saw a huge praying mantis appear in the market, Bai Li quickly stood up, pointed at the praying mantis and said to Bai Ze: "Husband, husband, you hurry up and tell the praying mantis, let her not hurt the people hiding at home." ”

Before the words fell, a number of feather arrows broke through the air, and just when Bai Li opened his mouth and thought he was dead, everything around him was still. When the feather arrow landed, what echoed in Bai Li's ears was the sound of those soldiers wailing in pain after they fell to the ground.

When Bai Ze flew into the air with Bai Li, Bai Li saw a chaotic scene.

"Where are we going?"

"Huaxi Town."

"Regardless of what is going on in the capital?"

"Qingguo promised me that he would not hurt the people."

"Where's the praying mantis?"

"The people of the Ghost Doctor Valley have a way to solve it."

"Resolved? How to fix it? Killed? No, no, that praying mantis is a gift from you. ”

"I'll give you another one, that praying mantis can't be wanted."

"Why?"

"It has eaten too many people, and it has fallen into the devil, and it is not suitable to be a gift from the lady."

"Do you know why you didn't save it? You have the ability to stop Qingguo Gong and Master Xin. ”

"This is my agreement with Qing Guogong, he promised me not to hurt the innocent, not to harm the people, I promised him not to ignore the mantis, and hand the mantis to him and the people of the Ghost Doctor Valley to deal with. I'm not afraid of Qingguogong, and I don't care about the life and death of those people, what I care about is Madame, I don't want to involve Madame because of these things, so that Qingguogong and his people keep staring at Madame. ”

"I know, my husband doesn't need to explain, I understand the reason." Bai Li sighed: "In the final analysis, we are just ordinary people, and we can't take care of these big things." Come on, let's go home and go back to Huaxi Town. ”

"Go back and pack your things."

"Oh? I know, even if the matter in the capital is over, Qingguo Gong and Lord Xin will always keep an eye on us. So, you, and I, and our family, have no choice but to leave our homeland and find a place where no one knows us. But where can we go? What to do with the house in Liyang City? Leave it to the calf? ”

"Madame can think about the affairs of the house slowly."

"Think slowly, think slowly, anyway, the calf is still young, and it's still early to marry a wife and have children." Bai Li hugged her husband's waist tightly: "What about Gao Zhan, will he be fine?" It shouldn't be fine, if there is, you won't take me out of the capital so quickly. The house in Liyang City is to be determined, so what about the Bai Mansion in Huaxi Town? I'm out of feelings. I thought of giving the house in the town to my parents. Although the relationship is average, they are still my nominal father and mother after all, and they should also be honored as daughters. ”

"Isn't Madame's mouth tired?" Seeing that Bai Li had no intention of stopping, Bai Ze had no choice but to seal his lips: "It's windy in the sky, it's better not to speak, madam." ”
