Chapter 374: Everyone's Thoughts

On the third day after the beginning of winter, Qin Tianjian said that it might snow heavily that day.

The yellow calendar says that it is advisable to marry and avoid traveling.

It's a good day.

That's what everyone in the Ministry of Rites says.

A auspicious day.

Chen Weifeng also thinks so.

So this day was chosen as the day of the emperor's wedding.

But the emperor himself actually didn't care much about whether this day was suitable for marriage, he just felt that the second half of the sentence was good, and as for the first half of the sentence, he was dispensable.

Anyway, the big wedding is just a pretense, a trap, and there are endless killing opportunities hidden in the trap, and everyone who comes has to die.

As the saying goes, don't travel.

It has been said in the yellow calendar, don't come out, whoever comes out will die.

But Chen Weifeng knew that those who should come would still come.

Not because those people were stupid and rushed to die, but because they were going to die.

Because Chen Weifeng has already designed a fate for them.

At that moment, Chen Weifeng had a feeling of truly dominating the world, not the emperor's kind of domination over the world, but the kind of gods and immortals who wantonly control the fate of mortals.

He loved it.

But there are people who don't like this feeling.

No doubt.

And the least favorite is the white eyebrows.

Bai Wumei has endured most of his life, in his more than thirty years of life, although he has a prominent enough status, he can only do the work of the most humble servant, even if he is a servant of a rare family in the world, or the head of the servant.

But a servant is a servant, and it doesn't change because of anything else.

He was born to be an emperor.

His surname is White, and his eyebrows are as white as snow from birth.

He has the noblest bloodline.

This extreme mismatch between identity and reality tormented his heart day and night.

Obviously, his martial arts are better than most people, much better than those mediocre talents who claim to be geniuses, but he can't say anything, he can't say anything, he can't show anything in public, he needs to hide, hide himself well, just like a stone containing jade, he can't show his beautiful jade hidden in his heart, he can only let people see the appearance of his ordinary stone, and he even has to praise those mediocre talents who also have the appearance of a stone against his will.

This is not the most tormenting.

The most painful thing is that he can't tell the girl he likes that he likes her, no matter how much he likes it, even if the love is about to rush out of his eyes, even if the girl is about to marry someone she doesn't like, he can't say anything, he can't do anything.

Because his surname is Bai, he needs to hide himself and wait for that day to come.

Only on that day can he forcefully fade the appearance of his stone, unscrupulously show the heart of the jade, and let the piece of jade release its dazzling brilliance unbridledly.

Now, that day has come, he can finally raise his eyebrows, spit out the depression of more than 30 years, and proudly tell the world that his surname is Bai, he is a descendant of the Bai family, he is back, he is coming to get back everything from the Bai family.

But it was also at this time that he thought he could confide his love to his beloved girl without any scruples.

An invitation was delivered to his desk.

One of the most difficult choices was in front of him.

It is to watch the beloved girl marry a person whom she will never like, or even hate, and sink for the rest of her life.

Still, standing up, knowing that this is a trap, and desperate, taking the soldiers he worked hard to work for, stepping into the bloody storm, and then there is a great possibility that there is nothing, and that girl still won't love him.

Smart people know how to choose.

is no longer the chief manager of Duke Chen's Mansion, but Bai Wumei, the White King, should also know how to choose.

But Bai Wumei didn't know.

So he hated Chen Weifeng, and hated Chen Weifeng for giving him such a choice.

He hated the feeling.

Just because, I don't know what to do.

After more than thirty years of hardship, he has become insidious and cunning, cold-blooded and ruthless, he can be ruthless with a smile on his face at any time, he can be ungrateful, betray his friends, he can do anything, his heart is already completely cold.

But when he faced the girl named Chen Xiaotong, he forgot everything, forgot those survival instincts, his heart seemed to change back to softness, just like when he was fifteen years old, he saw that girl for the first time in Chen Gongfu, she stood in the morning breeze, the wind swept the corners of her clothes, the rising sun stretched her shadow infinitely, she didn't turn around, the whole person was beautiful like a dream.

From that moment on, the girl had lived in his heart, a mark, or a wall that could never be crossed, and nothing was useful in front of it.

Or perhaps, every man has such a wall in his heart.

Bai Wumei has been walking back and forth in the military tent for more than an hour, and after the age of thirty-three, after his martial arts promotion to the grandmaster, and his state of mind is even more unfathomable, he will never have this kind of moment when the six gods have no master, and any decision will not exceed three breaths.

However, his mind is now in turmoil, very chaotic, very chaotic.

Knowing that many things of the family army have not been completely perfected, they are still waiting for him to decide, such as military rations, equipment, training of recruits, and all kinds of piles.

Outside the military tent, dozens of generals were also waiting for him to receive them.

He's just walking around here.

In this more than an hour, he has already beheaded seven generals.

These seven generals all came to persuade him.

Persuade him not to be rash and focus on the overall situation.

He is concerned about Chen Xiaotong's affairs, and no one knows about the Bai family's army, and no one knows it, and the wedding of Emperor Yuping is a huge trap.

In order to take care of the army's heart, Bai Wumei also spoke kind words to those generals who persuaded him at first.

Until the seventh general came in and said to him: "Your Highness, why is the eldest husband without a wife, even if His Royal Highness really loves that Chen Xiaotong in his heart, he has to wait for the world to talk about it, at that time, what beauty you want is not easy to recruit, enjoy the queen of Emperor Yuping, say it, I am afraid it is also a great ......"

That word, the general, didn't have a chance to continue.

In fact, Bai Wumei was already about to kill when he said to enjoy it, but he was stunned at that time, he couldn't imagine that someone would dare to say such a thing in front of him.

He was extremely angry, because he couldn't stand anyone and insulted Chen Xiaotong like this.

Then, he understood.

He couldn't bear it, he finally stopped walking around, when the eighth general came to die, he didn't kill anyone, he just gave the order directly, stopped all military affairs, and there was only one thing to do next.

That is, robbing relatives.

He was going to get Chen Xiaotong back.

After saying the whole order, Bai Wumei sat down on the chair, feeling both relaxed and lost.

He knew he couldn't get past the wall.

——————

Compared with Bai Wumei's hesitation, pain, tossing and turning.

Li Xiaoran's feeling is not so strong.

To be honest, she doesn't have much affection for Chen Xiaotong.

Even if she doesn't talk about what happened later, let's just say that at the beginning, she didn't like Chen Xiaotong.

Mainly because, Gu Changan.

She has lived with Gu Changan since she was a child, Gu Changan is like a sister to her, and she certainly hopes that Gu Changan can be with her favorite brother Gu Yuean.

But the world makes people, but Gu Yuean didn't like Gu Chang'an, but liked Chen Xiaotong.

Since then, Gu Chang'an's lovesickness has almost become ill.

She still can't forget the countless Gu Yue'an written on the paper under the lamp on countless nights, and burned them again, for fear that others would see it.

So she hasn't met yet, and she already hates Chen Xiaotong a little.

Later, when we met, Chen Xiaotong's appearance, temperament, manners and manners were all heartbreaking, and she didn't like it much, at most she didn't hate it.

Then, that happened.

After that incident, Li Xiaoran already had a deep hatred for Chen Xiaotong, and after Gu Yue'an disappeared, she planned to assassinate Chen Xiaotong many times, if it wasn't for Gu Changan stopping her several times, she might have made the trip.

Now, now, how does she feel?

After the battle of Guanhai City, Gu Yuean had already said that he and Chen Xiaotong no longer owed each other.

Theoretically speaking, Li Xiaoran has no love or hatred for Chen Xiaotong, she heard that Chen Xiaotong was going to marry Chen Xiaofeng, or whether the wedding invitation was sent to her, she should be indifferent.

In other words, Chen Weifeng's move is useless and a waste move.

Chen Weifeng miscalculated.

Li Xiaoran also hopes that this is the case, she hopes that she can be tougher and do nothing, just act as if nothing happened.

But she can't, she has to do something.

Because she knows Gu Yue'an too well.

This is the man who once saved her from death.

That night outside Guanhai City, when Chen Xiaotong was dying, and Gu Yuean attacked the tide listener like crazy, she knew that between him and Chen Xiaotong, she would not be able to pay it off in her life.

If she really didn't do anything, then Gu Yue'an came back one day, and he wouldn't blame Li Xiaoran for anything, but in the future, she might not have this brother.

So she had to admit that Chen Weifeng was really a terrible person, and his insight into people's hearts was simply desperate.

This is a seemingly useless trap that she must step into.

She hated this feeling, this kind of powerless, manipulative, like a pawn life.

For this reason, she had been sitting on the viewing platform for a day and a night, and when her subordinates reported the latest news, that is, the exact date of the emperor's wedding, her anxiety was even heavier.

Undoubtedly, reason told her absolutely, absolutely not to do anything.

But she already knew in her heart that she was bound to take that step, that her current struggle was in vain, or that she was already doing it for her subordinates.

"Actually, he won't blame you, believe me, a woman who doesn't want him anymore, even if she dies, he won't be heartbroken. At this moment, Wanwan spoke again.

This demon girl is always afraid that the world will not be chaotic, she has already said similar things in her ear, she does not bow down and worships again, and always seduces her again and again, asking her not to care about what will happen to Chen Xiaotong.

Actually, what she said is also very right, there is no need, for an irrelevant woman, to fight for the lives of so many brothers.

Li Xiaoran was looking at the sea, she was begging for an answer, but more than that, in fact, she was waiting for that person to come back.

It's been a long wait.

The sound of footsteps broke the silence.

Li Xiaoran turned her head slightly, she knew that it was Xu Che who came, and she was already familiar with Xu Che's footsteps.

She probably guessed Xu Che's intention, and he also came to persuade him.

Also, in fact, it's not necessary, and everyone may not be willing, so, it seems that there is also a rhetoric, and when the time comes, my brother can't blame himself, right?

Thinking like this, she heard Xu Che's voice: "Young Master, everything is ready, when are we going to leave for Gusu?"

"You say...... What?" because she was so surprised that she even forgot to call Uncle Xu.

"Young master, the grain and grass have been prepared, and the soldiers are ready to set off at any time, the road to Gusu is far away, if you leave late, I am afraid that you will not be able to catch up, and please make a decision as soon as possible. Xu Che said calmly, as if Li Xiaoran had already given this order.

"Uncle Xu......" Li Xiaoran didn't know what to say.

And it was at this time that she suddenly saw a small dot on the sea in the far distance, slowly approaching, and it became clear.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes and look away.

She saw it......

———————————

Compared to others, as one of the parties to this big wedding, which will be held on the third day after the winter solstice.

Chen Xiaotong's mood will not be too good.

Of course, she has already seen it on the yellow calendar, knows which day is suitable for marriage, and has also heard about the day decided by the Ministry of Rites.

Even, with her excellent ear, she could already hear a cart carrying a large number of items coming towards Duke Chen's mansion.

Autumn is over.

There was no sound of falling leaves, and it was so quiet outside that it seemed that even the birds were gone.

In the past, Chen Xiaotong liked winter very much, that feeling of quietness.

At this time, she can read in the study with peace of mind, without hearing some unnecessary noises because of her excellent ear power caused by her strong martial arts at a young age, which disrupts her interest in reading.

She loved the quiet of winter.

Now, I don't like it.

I don't know when she started to feel lonely, and she was a little afraid of loneliness.

For example, the day before yesterday, when Chen Xiaoju left quietly, she sighed in her heart.

Now she was stretching her ears with all her might, she was listening, she longed to hear some sounds, for example, the footsteps of someone, the sound of stepping on the ground.

If it was that person who came, she must have heard it clearly.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and she turned around.

The door opened, but it was the maid Fengyue who opened the door.

Feng Yue looked at her own young lady, and said with a smile: "Miss, someone from the palace is here, and it is ...... Let's try the best clothes. ”

"Okay, I got it. Chen Xiaotong nodded, but the listening continued.

She suddenly wished it was snowing.

At the very least, it sounded like footsteps.
