Volume 1 Reincarnation Dongzhou Chapter 25 Bai Wuji
The Imperial Palace of the White Eagle Empire, the Hall of Jide.
His Majesty Bai Wuji, the current emperor of the White Eagle Empire, sat on the high dragon chair, looking at Bai Yinyun who slowly walked into the palace, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
Bai Yinyun walked slowly to the center of the palace, bowed his head and saluted, and said, "Bai Yinyun, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor." ”
Bai Wuji looked at Bai Yinyun coldly, and said in a cold voice without emotion: "Yinyun, you haven't seen me for more than ten years, but you don't even want to call me uncle?"
Bai Yinyun's father is called Bai Wuxi, the last emperor of the White Eagle Empire, and Bai Wuji is a brother. Bai Wuji ranked first, and Bai Wuxian ranked third.
More than ten years ago, Bai Wuxian died unexpectedly, and Bai Wuji immediately supported his troops and became the emperor.
After becoming emperor, Bai Wuji immediately put Bai Wuxian several princes in prison for various crimes, and even put several elderly princesses under house arrest.
Bai Yinyun is the Seventh Princess, and she is also on Bai Wouji's house arrest list. Fortunately, under the desperate protection of hundreds of loyal guards, she narrowly escaped from the White Eagle Empire. But after fighting all the way, there were less than a hundred guards left to protect her.
Bai Yinyun's forty personal female guards with him now survived at that time.
Bai Yinyun drifted around for a few years, and finally met, knew and fell in love with Murong Xuanran, which ended the days of rootless duckweed and settled down in the Eastern Empire.
Bai Yinyun has not returned to the White Eagle Empire for more than ten years, not only because she is afraid that Bai Wuji will find an excuse to put her under house arrest, but also because she has always suspected that Bai Wuji's death was Bai Wuji's doing.
If Bai Wuji was really a vicious person who killed his own brother for the throne, Bai Yinyun's return to the White Eagle Empire would naturally be extremely dangerous.
Bai Yinyun has been secretly investigating the cause of her father's death through the Murong family's manpower in the White Eagle Empire over the years, and trying to rescue those brothers and sisters who were locked up.
Unfortunately, more than ten years have passed, and not only has there been no progress in the investigation, but there is no chance of rescue.
Today, Bai Yinyun's feelings when she returns to her hometown after more than ten years of absence are very complicated, bitterness, hatred, anger, powerlessness, and so on.
Bai Yinyun heard Bai Wuji's cold voice, her face became more and more gloomy, she still lowered her head, and spoke softly in a light voice that did not stick to fireworks.
"Your Majesty, Wen Taowu is the honorable of the Ninety-Five, how dare the little woman be presumptuous?"
"You are the upright princess of the White Eagle Empire, how can you be presumptuous?"
Bai Yinyun's eyes darkened, and he said coldly: "I'm not a princess, just an ordinary clansman from the Murong family of the Eastern Empire. ”
"If you're just a member of the Murong family, how can you be qualified to see me today?"
Bai Yinyun's face suddenly became extremely ugly when she heard this, and she couldn't help but sneer: "I don't dare to recognize my identity as a princess, lest I also be placed under house arrest by His Majesty." ”
Bai Wuji was furious and said disdainfully: "Do you really think that without my secret instructions, you can leave the White Eagle Empire safely? Do you think that I really didn't notice the small actions you have made through the Murong family over the years? I just turned a blind eye. Otherwise, you think that you are far away in the Eastern Empire, and I have nothing to do with you?"
Bai Wuji's successive rhetorical questions not only did not make Bai Yinyun's mood better, but made her face more and more gloomy. She finally couldn't help but raise her head, gritted her teeth, and stubbornly looked at the current emperor of the White Eagle Empire, her own uncle.
"Even today, does Your Majesty still want me to praise your kindness?"
Bai Wuji has a look of more than sixty flats, his eyes are resolute, and he is not angry and arrogant. He sat on the dragon chair with an extremely ugly face, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, you are here to argue with me today?"
Bai Yinyun fell silent all of a sudden when she heard this, and she felt as if all her strength had disappeared all at once. Like a defeated peacock, she bowed her head weakly, and said in a low and weak voice: "Don't dare! ”
Bai Wuji looked at Bai Yinyun's aggrieved appearance and sighed silently, then resumed his cold expression and said, "If you want me to help you intercede with Si Yijian to accept your son as an apprentice, you will be disappointed." ”
As one of the emperors of only a few empires in the Dongzhou Continent, Bai Wuji's intelligence network was all over the continent, and there were too few things that could be hidden from him. Bai Yinyun is still one of the targets he focuses on monitoring, and his whereabouts naturally cannot escape his eyes.
Bai Wuji naturally guessed that Bai Yinyun's purpose in coming to White Eagle City was to let him recommend Murong Ye to apprentice with Si Yijian.
Bai Yinyun was not surprised that Bai Wuji guessed her purpose, Bai Wuji was able to sit firmly on the throne of the White Eagle Empire for more than ten years, and naturally he was not a stupid person.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"I and Si Yijian have different personalities, but it was only when I helped him once that he promised to help me do something. Unfortunately, I've already used up this opportunity. Now, I have nothing to do with Si Yijian. My handwritten letter is from Si Yijian, and it doesn't mean anything. ”
Bai Yinyun naturally didn't believe Bai Wuji's words, but he didn't refute but said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to be arrogant, Lord Si Yijian will definitely not ignore your attitude." I also ask Your Majesty to deign to write a letter of recommendation for my son. ”
Bai Wuji looked at Bai Yinyun, paused, picked up a sealed letter from the table, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, you can take this letter!"
Bai Wuji shook his hand after speaking, and the letter was like a butterfly, spinning and flying towards Bai Yinyun.
Bai Yinyun looked at the flying letter and was stunned, she never thought that Bai Wuji had already prepared the letter of recommendation, and she couldn't understand what Bai Wuji's intention was to do this.
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Yinyun still reached out to take the flying letter. The purpose of her visit was for this letter, and it was impossible for her to give up this opportunity because she suspected that Bai Wuji had other intentions.
Bai Yinyun glanced at the envelope and found that the words "Senior Brother Personally Enlightened" were written on it. She carefully took the letter and did not put it away, but bowed to Bai Wuji and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the little woman is leaving." ”
After Bai Yinyun saluted, he hurriedly walked backwards and left, as if he was afraid that Bai Wuji would regret it.
Bai Wuji watched in silence as Bai Yinyun walked farther and farther, until Bai Yinyun came to the gate of the hall and was about to turn away, he finally couldn't help but speak: "Yinyun, you didn't bring your son with you but let him quietly enter the city, just don't you want me to see him?"
Bai Yinyun was shocked when she heard this, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
"Entered the city at night?"
Bai Wuji's reaction when he saw Bai Yinyun was also a little stunned, and then laughed and said, "Haha, you don't even know about him quietly entering the city." In other words, he took 100 people into the city in disguise, and arranged for hundreds of people to follow your team in disguise to protect you, all of which he arranged by himself!
Although the soldiers of the Pingxi Legion scattered into the city in disguise, they were still discovered by the generals defending the city and reported to Bai Wouji. Murong Ye then brought a hundred people into the city, which naturally attracted the attention of the generals guarding the city, and also reported it to Bai Wuji.
With Bai Wuji's wisdom and intelligence system, it was naturally not difficult to guess Murong Ye's identity and intentions.
"Little women are gone!"
Bai Yinyun's mind was full of Murong Ye's safety issues, and he was not in the mood to talk to Bai Wuji again, so he bowed down again and left in a hurry.
Bai Wuji looked at Bai Yinyun's back and sighed softly: "Yinyun, your father's death is really...... It has nothing to do with me. ”
Bai Wuji's voice was very soft, but it was just heard by Bai Yinyun, who was a few steps away from the temple gate. Bai Yinyun's body was stunned, did not respond, and left without looking back.
Bai Wuji looked through the temple door at the wide square and the dim sky, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
......
Bai Yinyun came out of the palace and joined the forty personal female guards and one hundred Pingxi legion soldiers and was just about to leave, when the person who Wang Teng had arranged in advance to guide the way arrived.
Under the leadership of the guide, Bai Yinyun and his entourage successfully arrived at the mansion where Murong Ye and the others stayed.
At this time, Murong Ye had already taken Wang Teng and Ma Yan to greet him respectfully at the gate.
"Mother, you're back!"
The moment Bai Yinyun got down from the carriage and saw Murong Ye, she couldn't bear to say the words she had thought of reproaching Murong Ye along the way.
Bai Yinyun sighed, touched Murong Ye's head with doting and gentleness, and scolded with a smile: "Little clever ghost." ”
Murong Ye took his mother's hand and walked towards the courtyard, and said as if flatteringly: "Mother, you are hungry! Dinner is ready, let's eat quickly! It just so happens that I haven't eaten lunch yet, and I am also hungry." ”
"Okay, let's go eat!"
Bai Yinyun smiled and went to the restaurant with Murong Ye, without mentioning anything about Murong Ye's unauthorized entry into the city, nor asking Murong Ye about sending someone to secretly protect her, as if she didn't know at all.
It's all in plain sight!
Sometimes, there are things that don't have to be said.
But on the contrary, there are some things that need to be explained.
After dinner, Bai Yinyun briefly told Murong Ye about the past of the White Eagle Empire more than ten years ago. After all, Murong Ye already knew that she was related to the royal family of the White Eagle Empire, and there was no need for her to hide this relationship anymore.
Murong Ye didn't have any real feelings about the past of the White Eagle Empire, but he was very distressed about what happened to Bai Yinyun before, and secretly reminded himself to be wary of Bai Wuji.
Murong Ye's perception of Bai Wuji was actually not hateful, and of course it was not friendly, but a little indifferent. However, since Bai Yinyun decided that Bai Wuji was a villain, he naturally classified Bai Wuji as an enemy.
Murong Ye wouldn't take the initiative to trouble Bai Wuji at the moment, but if there was a chance to get rid of Bai Wuji, he would definitely not mind taking advantage of the situation for his mother.
At night, Bai Yinyun was so worried that she couldn't sleep, for fear that Bai Wuji would suddenly attack.
Murong Ye was very calm on the surface, and there was some uneasiness in his heart. Judging from his mother's account, it is not surprising that Bai Wou-Ki could attack them at any time.
On the one hand, Murong Ye asked Wang Teng to transfer the five hundred soldiers of the Pingxi Legion hidden in the shadows to the mansion to guard together, and on the other hand, he also asked the auxiliary system to monitor the movements around the mansion at all times.
With this double protection, Murong Ye finally felt a little more at ease, calmed down and began to cultivate.
There was no word all night, and the wind and waves were calm.
Early the next morning, Bai Yinyun and Murong Ye, who hadn't slept well, got up early. They simply settled breakfast and left White Eagle City with all the guards.
Now that the letter of recommendation has been obtained, there is naturally no need for them to stay in White Eagle City. Rather than stay in the city and be afraid, it is better to quickly join up with the 1,500 soldiers in the camp outside the city.
Murong Ye and his party came to the camp outside the city very smoothly, and the situation they were worried about did not happen. They did not stop after meeting with the soldiers of the camp, and the original team set off directly and turned to Sijian Peak in the Northridge Mountain Range.
