Chapter 21 Entrustment
On the fourteenth floor of the Heavenly Prison, Li Ling finally saw Bai Sheng.
He was kept alone in a cell, the room was clean, and even a pot of tea was made on the table.
Bai Shengnian is about ancient, his beard and hair are white, but he is tall, his eyes are bright, and as a military general, he has an elegant temperament unique to a literati.
He was dressed in prison clothes, but he did not have the same whip marks as the other prisoners. Sit cross-legged on the bed, facing the wall.
"I don't know if I'm thinking about life?" Li Ling looked at Bai Sheng in the prison and thought narrowly.
An important minister like Xiang Baisheng, even if he enters the prison, he will generally not be tortured, and will be treated politely.
Because maybe that day the emperor will retract his order and reinstate the official.
Not to mention that Bai Sheng is the military god of the Qin State, even among the black-clothed guards, there are many people who regard him as an idol, and ordinary people dare not and do not want to torture him.
"Bai Sheng, the Prime Minister's envoy is here, you have to be honest. Tao Ran made a gesture of invitation to Li Ling, "Adults, please come in, and the villains will retire." ”
Li Ling waved his hand, and the two black-clothed guards were relieved and bowed out.
Only Li Ling and Bai Sheng were left in the prison, Bai Sheng looked up at Li Ling, he was a little surprised to see that he was so young, he didn't say anything, and continued to turn his head to look at the wall.
Li Ling said secretly: "I don't know if this Bai Sheng is the old guy's son or grandson? ”
"What did Li Si send you for?" Bai Sheng said lightly, "You go back and tell him, let him not waste his thoughts, don't say that I don't know where the Divine Talisman is, even if I do, do you think I will tell him?"
"Divine Talisman?"
What's that?
Li Ling was not interested, but smiled and said, "I'm not Li Si's envoy, you don't need to tell me this." ”
Bai Sheng snorted and did not answer.
"Do you know this thing?" Li Ling took out a dagger that had rusted a little.
This dagger was left by the master to Li Ling, and he explained that it was a token of the family, and when he saw Bai Sheng show it, Bai Sheng would naturally understand.
"Black Tiger Blade?" Bai Sheng's eyes showed a look of shock, and then he returned to normal, "How can you have this dagger?"
"Because the owner of this dagger is my master. Li Ling said with a smile: "Before he died, he entrusted me to come to the world to take care of his descendants for five years, and I came to fulfill my promise."
Bai Sheng was shocked, looked at Li Ling in a daze, and suddenly turned over and bowed down, "Meet Uncle Shi!"
"Uncle Shi?"
Li Ling frowned.
"This black tiger blade is owned by my grandfather, there is only one in the world, you are his apprentice, of course I have to call you uncle, my grandfather once said that when the Bai family is in danger in the future, there will be someone who will come to the Bai family with this black tiger blade to help the Bai family continue the incense. ”
"I see. ”
Li Ling suddenly said: "Since I promised the old guy, I will naturally keep my promise, I will find a way to save you out, I hope you can cooperate." ”
In a short period of time, Li Ling really couldn't think of any good plan to save Bai Sheng, there were many masters guarding this prison, and he was really not sure that he would escape from the prison with a person.
Now let's see if the token given by Li Si is useless, and if we can take him out of the prison.
If the token doesn't work, you'll have no choice but to break in.
Who told him to promise the master?
Bai Sheng's execution period is only three days later, and it can be summed up well.
"Thank you Uncle Shi, I don't want to get out of this prison, I understand Uncle Shi's kindness, please go back, so as not to dream too much at night and arouse the suspicion of the black-clothed guard. Who knew that Bai Sheng said lightly: "Your Majesty is young, listen to the slander of traitorous ministers, if this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that the country will not be a country, and it is not a pity for the old man to die, I am willing to wake up Your Majesty with a death..."
Li Ling wanted to say that he was stupid and loyal, but in the face of Bai Sheng's awe-inspiring momentum of seeing death as if he were at home, and strange emotions rose in his heart, he couldn't say anything.
This may be a kind of spirit, awe-inspiring and inviolable, regardless of identity and status, and there is no room for desecration.
Li Ling didn't say anything more, because he knew that all the words of persuasion were already redundant, and sighed: "Since you have made up your mind, I won't force it, goodbye." ”
He turned around and was about to leave, when he heard a somewhat hoarse voice outside, "Holy decree, Bai Sheng takes the decree." ”
A eunuch of about thirty walked into the prison under the leadership of several black-clothed guards.
The black-clothed guard who listened to the eunuch introduced that Li Ling was sent by the prime minister, and also politely greeted him, and then began to read out the holy decree.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, there is a general Bai Sheng, do not think of the emperor's grace, intent to rebel, his crime should be punished by the nine clans, but remembering that there is a lot of merit to save the driver, pardon his family, only punish Bai Sheng alone, in order to set an example, his family is demoted to a concubine, never hired..."
"Thanksgiving!" Bai Sheng knelt down to receive the decree and kowtowed three times excitedly in the direction of the palace.
He has already made plans to die for his country in the past few days, but every time he thinks that his children and grandchildren are still young and his life path has just begun, he has to follow himself to the difficulties, and he can't help but feel sad in his heart.
After the eunuch read out the holy decree, he led the people away, and the holy decree not only said that the matter of pardoning the descendants of the Bai family was pardoned, but also announced that Bai Sheng would be executed at noon tomorrow.
Li Ling was also about to leave, glanced back at Bai Sheng, and said, "Go all the way." ”
"Uncle Shi, please stay!"
A trace of hesitation flashed in Bai Sheng's eyes, and when he saw that Li Ling was about to step out of the Heavenly Prison Gate, he suddenly shouted.
Bai Sheng bowed deeply to Li Ling and said, "Uncle Shi's immortal cultivator has extraordinary means, please take care of my Bai family's descendants in the future, so as not to be victimized by traitors." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I promised the old man, and I will naturally fulfill my promise," Li Ling replied lightly, "If you hadn't made that oath, Lao Tzu wouldn't have bothered to meddle with your family's affairs." ”
"There's one more thing to ask Uncle Shi. Bai Sheng took off the hairpin on his head, "If his eldest son Bai Qi re-commands the three armies in the future, and encounters an irresistible enemy army, please give him this thing and tell him, 'The heart is sincere, and the golden phoenix is coming, and the moat will become a thoroughfare.'" In this sentence, if he only wants to be an ordinary person, this thing will be given to Uncle Shi. ”
Li Ling took the hairpin, seeing that the hairpin was not gold or wood, it was black all over, I didn't know what material it was made of, and he was not interested, so he nodded and agreed, put it in his arms and turned away.
Evading the invitation of several black-clothed guards, he came out of the prison, and he was going to meet the children and grandchildren of the Bai family and protect him secretly.
Before coming out, he asked Tao Ran, knowing that the rest of the Bai family was locked up in Dali Temple, which was separated by two streets from here.
In front of Dali Temple.
A servant led dozens of people out of prison with iron chains, and went out into the street to open the chains for them one by one.
This group of men, women, and children are all from Baifu, and Bai Sheng IV is in the same house, and there are twenty or thirty people in this big family.
The holy decree was issued and forgave them, and Dali Temple naturally did not dare to lock people up anymore.
Able to survive death, many people held their heads in pain on the street.
Bai Sheng now has two sons, two daughters, six grandsons, and five granddaughters, and the holy decree of the day said that the Bai family rebelled, and it was really like the sky was falling.
Most of these people are women, daughters-in-law, daughters-in-law, and maids of the Bai family.
The people who came and went on the street were also embarrassed, the Bai family made countless great achievements for the Qin State, protecting the territory and the people, and the brothers were five dead and one disabled, but they didn't expect to be framed by traitors now, and it was really chilling to fall into such a field.
