Chapter 14: The Divine Craftsman
"Grand Commander Mao," Bai Guang looked at the apologetic Grand Commander of the City Defense, and his tone was very gentle, "It's just that you have caught the wrong person, don't worry too much." The commander came to visit late at night, and he was supposed to serve tea for guests, but the bandits have not been eliminated, and the king is not good to stay, so please take care of the commander. After finishing speaking, he got up to send off the "guest", and it was only at this time that Mao Shouren's tense nerves in his whole body finally relaxed, and after taking a long breath, he hurriedly left the house with three subordinates.
After Mao Shouren left, Bai Guang called Lao Qiu to ask again, and what happened was completely consistent with what Mao Shouren said, Lao Qiu just suffered a little bit of flesh and skin. In broad daylight, he was pressed to the ground in the street, Lao Qiu resisted desperately at first, and the city defense soldiers thought that he wanted to resist arrest and escape, and after subduing him by force, he claimed to be a person from the Dingbei Palace, although he refused to believe it, but he did not dare to add fists and feet.
Mao Shouren personally came to the door to apologize, Bai Guang was not surprised at all, before tearing his face, even if he was the commander in charge of the defense of 100,000 cities, he did not dare to offend the Bai family, the reason why Bai Guang easily exposed this matter like a drizzle of wind and rain was because the matter was too small, so small that it was really not worth fighting.
But the small one is only the surface, and there are too many doubts in this matter: it is difficult to say whether there are bandits or not, even if there are, they will not be so nervous, so nervous that even Lao Qiu, who does not dare to go out in the wind, must be strictly investigated. Moreover, this is also the most important point, Shuyufang is adjacent to the Linwang Mansion, Mao Shouren and Linwang's guanji, Bai Guang didn't know before, but after the Zhaochun Palace banquet that day, even the dullest people will notice ......it.
So the question is, Mao Shouren is probably guarding the Linwang Mansion in the name of searching for bandits, but why does the Linwang Mansion have to be guarded? Is there any unsavory secret in it that people are afraid to know? Or do they suspect that someone is spying on the Linwang Mansion? What are they afraid of? What secrets are there that people can't know? Bai Guang fell into deep thought, but fortunately, at noon the next day, Bai Susu brought back an important clue after returning to the mansion.
When Bai Guang went to see Mao Shouren that night, the county lord called Lao Qiu to ask about the situation that day. Lao Qiu naturally didn't dare to hide anything, and even the details of what happened were clearly recounted, although the county lord was not as deep as his younger brother thought, but after listening to it, he immediately grasped the key to the problem of Shuyufang, which was close to Linyufu, and arrested bandits in this place, so that the county lord vaguely felt that something was wrong. Early the next morning after a sleepless night, she hurried into the palace to inform the prince of the incident, and the prince told her about an incident that happened not long ago, and asked her to go back to the house to inform Bai Guang and ask Bai Guang to answer him a few questions.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me, do you remember the thief leader of the Wanhualin that day?" Bai Susu asked as he stared at his younger brother.
He covered his face at the time, so naturally he couldn't see clearly. ”
"It's not about facial features, Your Highness means body shape and silhouette......"
"He was slender and long, more than nine feet long. Of course Bai Guang remembered, because that person was so tall, a head taller than the others.
"That's right...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to tell you one thing, not long ago, he met King Lin by chance in Lanxingyuntai, the personal guard brought by King Lin at that time was not Zhu Shui, that person was also very tall, and he was full of murderous aura, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't help but take a few more looks, it is really rare to see such a tall person, do you think it will be the same person?" Bai Susu locked his eyes on his younger brother, hoping to get a positive answer from him.
However, to her disappointment, Bai Guang first shook his head indifferently, "Prince Linwang is a dignified prince, how can there be only one escort Zhu Shui? Moreover, people in the world are not tall or short, and they are not fat or thin, how can they infer because of coincidence?"
When Bai Susu heard what he meant, he blamed himself for being nosy, and his heart immediately became unhappy, and he retorted, "It is not uncommon for people to be tall, short, fat and thin, and it is not uncommon for the prince's guards and assassins to be similar in stature, but don't you think it is unusual for me to be heavily armed in the sky and day to defend the Jade Fang? Am I just helping the prince today? Do you want the assassin of my father and the king to be at large all the time? What's wrong with me helping him? The prince is the prince, and anyone who intends to be hostile to him is a rebel and a thief! If you don't help him, do you still want to stop me?"
The more Bai Susu spoke, the more excited he became, and after a series of questions, he actually got up from his chair and said angrily, "Are you arrogantly inferring that you understand yourself, I am just passing on the word on behalf of His Royal Highness the Prince, and how to reply is your own business!" After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the study room of the South Courtyard without looking back.
Looking at his sister's back in a daze, Bai Guang's heart was bitter, he knew in his heart that from the moment Xing Zhen was imprisoned, she had been involved in this battle, Bai Guang was sure that whether it was Concubine Yue or King Lin, she had now regarded her as an opponent. And she is her own sister and the daughter of the Bai family, and her every move will make people feel that it is the Bai family's instruction or acquiescence .......
Once some things start, it will be difficult to turn back, not to mention that my sister has never thought of turning back, Bai Guang picked up the already cold tea on the table, swallowed it with the tea, and the silent sigh in his throat.
It is undeniable that the information that the prince asked his sister to bring back can indeed be regarded as an important clue. Kyoto is so big, it is normal to have people with a body similar to the assassin, and it is also normal to have this kind of person around King Lin, but what is not normal is that why is it not Zhu Shui who followed King Lin into the palace and became him? The most trusted guard of King Lin is Zhu Shui, in the impression of Bai Guang, King Lin has never brought anyone except Zhu Shui when he enters the palace, so King Lin must have to enter the palace when he takes him into the palace, and it is not okay to change it to someone else, so there must be something wrong with this person!
In addition, from the point of view of time, King Lin's entry into the palace with this person occurred after the assassination of his father, and King Lin's entry into the palace was not for the current concubine Niangniang, Bai Guang couldn't think of who else he could meet. So, what exactly did they have to discuss in person, when did they first get to know each other, was it before or after the assassination of their father, and what did they want to do next?......。
Bai Guang pondered under the curtain of the pane, and after about a stick ......of incense, he called the housekeeper Lao Ji, and the two sat opposite each other on several cases, and discussed in a low voice for a long time before dispersing.
After Lao Ji left, Bai Guang took the time to enter the palace to meet the prince, and told him about the appearance and figure of the person, but did not add any judgment on whether the two were the same person, and the prince did not ask each other, the two chatted a few words and then Bai Guang said goodbye and left, and returned to the house, Yue Rong'er greeted him in the corridor of the second gate, and told him with a happy face that the prince was awake, and Bai Guang walked to the bedroom of the main courtyard, and arranged for someone to go to the palace to report the good news to Emperor Yi .......
Bai Susu and Lao Ji stood on the edge of the couch, when Bai Guang came in, Lao Ji Shili retreated, Bai Susu glanced at him, his pretty face immediately turned from happy to cold, obviously still angry with his brother, Yue Rong'er quietly grimaced at her behind, Bai Susu saw this and walked out of the room with Yue Rong'er.
"Father......" Bai Guang half-knelt down in front of the couch, and after calling in a low voice, tears couldn't help but swelled into his eyes, he pursed his lips and forcibly restrained himself, until this moment, his heart that had been hanging finally fell to the ground. Nearly twenty days and nights when his father was in a coma, he had prepared for the worst, no one knew what kind of fear, helplessness and torment he had experienced under his seemingly calm and calm appearance, Liu Wen's failure in diagnosis and treatment made him have to take risks, in fact, he was not sure at all in his heart, he had only seen this kind of lost method of bone healing from a broken ancient book.......
"Good boy......" His white chapped lips were closed, his eyes rolled to him, and his eyes were full of relief, "Probably my father knows the situation......
"Father, rest easy," Bai Guang gently put his father's hand back into the brocade quilt, and tucked the corner of the quilt for him, "When you wake up after illness, it is not appropriate to talk too much, Your Majesty will arrive in a moment, there must be a lot of things to say to your father......" At this point, there was a hearty laughter at the door, and Emperor Yi came quickly with the wind under his feet, and shouted loudly when he entered the door, "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, are you really awake?" Bai Guang stood up and exited the bedroom after saluting Emperor Yi.
Nie Bei stood under the corridor of the main courtyard, and when he saw Bai Guang, he bowed his head slightly, "Nie Commander ......" Bai Guang greeted him and approached him. "Is there something wrong with the son?" Nie Bei looked at this young man with some curiosity, who rarely took the initiative to take care of people.
"That's right, there is something that the junior has been thinking about for a long time, and I feel that it is still necessary for you to know. ”
"Oh, the prince of the world, in spite of his words, listens to his humble duties. Nie Bei saw that he regarded himself as a junior, and he did not put on the shelf of the world at all, so he felt comfortable first, and waited for his next step after responding respectfully.
"That's the case, I wonder if Lord Nie still remembers the assassin who was the head of the Wanhualin that day?" Bai Guang asked.
"What the prince said was...... That tall and thin man? Naturally, he remembered, why did the prince suddenly ask about this?" "On the day of Wanhualin, when Nie Bei arrived at the scene, the assassins were already retreating in an organized manner, and at that time, the extremely tall and thin man was behind him, and he used only one sword to force back several guards who were rounding up, and the thunderous and lightning-like sword left a deep impression on Nie Bei.
"It's nothing, it's just that one of these people just entered the palace not long ago. Bai Guang said lightly.
"What? is this true?" Nie Bei immediately became nervous, his upper body couldn't help leaning forward, his back was tense, and his eyes under the white eyebrows immediately flashed.
"Naturally, it's hard to talk nonsense...... I heard that it was a guard next to His Royal Highness King Lin, and the prince happened to meet it in the palace, because that person was so tall and abrupt, and saw that it was not the usual Zhu Shui who was with King Lin, and the prince chatted and occasionally mentioned this matter when he was curious and incomprehensible...... It must be that the younger generation is too nervous, how can the people around His Royal Highness be the assassin of Wanhualin, but the emperor's safety is at stake, and the younger generation thinks that it is always right to be careful...... What does the Grand Commander think?"
Bai Guang's words were by no means impulsive, but after careful consideration and repeated consideration. For the fight between the crown prince and King Lin, he has no intention of getting involved, Yue Guifei's mother and son are tempted and wooed by him, and even he can ignore his treacherous killing, but he will never allow anyone to hurt his father, even if this person is a concubine Niangniang who he can't afford to provoke and a prince who may be on the throne in the future. Based on Concubine Yue's unscrupulous temperament alone, Bai Guang thought that she had done such a thing, so since it is possible that they had colluded with each other and would not stop until the matter was not successful, their dark arrows would be silently aimed at her father in all shaded corners, endlessly, until one of them completely collapsed .......
When the incoming dark arrows can't be resisted, the best way is to find someone to cut off the hand that pulls the string in the dark corner, and Nie Bei is the person Bai Guang is looking for. Bai Guang knew that once his words came out today, Nie Bei would put himself on the side of the prince from now on, but even if there was no today's matter, Nie Bei would not think that the Bai family was neutral, so no matter how Nie Bei looked at himself and the Bai family, in fact, it was just to reconfirm the judgment in his heart. For Nie Bei, the safety of the emperor and the safety of the palace ban in Jinggi is his duty to defend to the death, and such a dangerous person allows him to enter and leave the palace at will, how can the emperor's safety be guaranteed? Bai Guang believes that Nie Bei will never sit idly by, he will definitely take action, and Bai Guang is to plant this thorn in his heart, which will prick him with faint pain as soon as there is a wind and grass.
Sure enough, Nie Bei retracted his gaze, lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and then said, "The prince is reasonable, and he thinks that he is lowly...... There is no need to doubt the people of His Royal Highness......"
He lowered his head, his expression could not be detected by the white light, his tone was also steady, he did not feel the slightest abnormality, and the hand that unconsciously held the hilt of the sword at his waist betrayed his mood at the moment.
Bai Guang smiled lightly, knowing that his purpose had been achieved, so he stopped talking, and the two stood silently under the porch, each thinking about their own thoughts.
Because he was afraid that Bai Qi's illness would be difficult to hold for a long time, Emperor Yi said goodbye and got up in less than an hour, and before leaving, he carefully told Bai Guang, Bai Guang responded one by one, and then sent him to the door of the mansion, the emperor got on the dragon chariot, put down the Ming Huang and pinched the golden dragon curtain, Nie Beizong got on the horse, turned around and said goodbye to Bai Guang, and when he turned around and said goodbye to Bai Guang, the corners of his lips slowly brought a smile .......
Princess Gao Li didn't know how to find out the information, and not long after the emperor's sedan chair left, she quickly sent someone to send a famous post, and even set the date and place of the competition on her own. She set the time for the competition to be April 15th, that is, three days later, but the location she chose didn't know if it was a coincidence or deliberate, anyway, Yue Rong'er was surprised when she learned from Bai Susu, a cherry mouth opened and didn't close for a long time, where is the place chosen by the princess of your Dao? It was actually the place where Bai Guang saved Yue Rong'er that day - Chunlanfang.
After reading the invitation in his hand, Bai Guang didn't have too much expression on his face, so he rolled it into a cylinder, pulled it into his sleeve, and rode out of the house into the palace to tell the saint. Although Princess Gao Li invited the battle in the name of the rivers and lakes, after all, the identities of both sides of the competition were noble, and in order to ensure safety, all aspects of the preparation must be properly prepared, and there is room for any mistakes during the period.
Emperor Yi took the invitation from Bai Guang, read it very carefully, called Nie Bei to his side, and then issued a decree, the general arrangement was: the security and defense of this competition are jointly responsible for the forbidden army and the city defense; the Ministry of Industry is responsible for building the sword platform within two days; Chunlan Pavilion and the surrounding green buildings, teahouses and wine shops will be closed for five days from now on; and the safety of Princess Gao Li will be ensured.
The will is clear that the competition will be in charge of the forbidden army, and the corresponding guards, platform and viewing post printing matters will be coordinated by the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple. After Nie Bei received the order out of the Yangyuan Palace, he stood at the door of the hall and waited for the white light, and after the two looked at each other, Nie Bei invited him to the side of the corridor, and asked very humbly: "Regarding this competition, is there anything that the prince needs to be specially advised?"
If it weren't for the brief and meaningful conversation in the palace yesterday, Nie Bei might not have been so nervous about this competition, but now that Kyoto may have been mixed with extremely dangerous people, and this person is still a peerless master who may strike a fatal blow at any time in the shadows, he can't help but pay less attention to it. And the reason why he wanted to ask Bai Guang's opinion was because he felt that the young man in front of him might have some unique opinions, or would remind him of some details that he couldn't think of.
At the age of three, he became a prince, and at the age of four, he was called a brother and sister to the prince, and he had a father who held millions of soldiers, was in charge of the military and political affairs of Dayi, and was favored by him...... He has been covered with all kinds of dazzling halos almost from birth, making the world envy and look up. But all this is just God's favor and gift to him, what really impressed Nie Bei with him is the calmness, calmness, courage and determination beyond his age, as well as the superb skills and god-like medical Tao, this young man in front of him really made him realize what it means to be terrible in the future, and he couldn't help but have a deep sense of trust in him.
"The Grand Commander is polite," Bai Guang arched his hand slightly to Nie Bei, and after a humble resign, he turned to look in the direction of Chunlan Fang and said, "Since the Grand Commander asked, the juniors thought of a place that needs attention, at that time, Chunlan Pavilion and the surrounding buildings will be changed into stands, limited to the conditions of the venue, the distance between the stands and the sword platform cannot be too far apart, if someone shoots a secret weapon at the princess in the process of testing the sword, can the Grand Commander think of a countermeasure?"
Hearing this, Nie Bei pressed the white jade guardrail with his hand, and said after thinking for a while, "Don't worry about this world, the viewing building is a key defense area, and those who are qualified to enter the viewing building are either relatives and noble ministers, or celebrities and nobles, and people with doubtful identities cannot enter, and before entering the venue, the lower officials will also send someone to carefully search their bodies, not to mention hidden weapons, even if they don't even want to bring a grain of dust into the venue." ”
Seeing that he said so confidently, Bai Guang couldn't say anything more, so he had to say, "It's the best, the Great Commander is hard." ”
Nie Bei was a cheerful and neat person, and seeing that he had no other suggestions, he took his leave and arranged specific matters.
Bai Guang slowly out of the palace, hit the horse and galloped in the direction of King Kang's mansion, just now when reporting to Emperor Yi, Bai Guang said that his father woke up and asked, "Why don't you see His Royal Highness King Kang", he explained that his father didn't say anything, but his expression was a little lonely and sentimental, Emperor Yi originally wanted to withdraw the claustrophobia, but according to Concubine Chen, he didn't immediately give an order, listening to Bai Guang say this, he asked him to go to King Kang's Mansion to pass on his own dictation, and eliminated King Kang's claustrophobic on the grounds that there were many things to test and need the prince to come to command.
In front of the gate of the Dekang Palace, the guards at the door saw that the prince was coming, and hurriedly came to see the ceremony, at this time someone had already led his mount to take care of the good life, and the guards led him through the front yard, and came to the front of the second gate, the housekeeper saw that Bai Guang was going to report to King Kang after the ceremony, and suddenly heard a noisy sound from the east, Bai Guang stopped the housekeeper and asked, "Why is it so lively today, but what is the happy event?"
The housekeeper replied, "The prince doesn't know, His Highness has been practicing riding and archery hard recently. ”
"Oh," Bai Guang smiled slightly, signaling the butler to follow the sound to the east.
King Kang's Mansion was built by Emperor Yi according to the prince's specifications. The house is majestic and spacious, the hall hall and pavilion inside, a group of grandiose and magnificent, you can see the mountains and rocks and plants everywhere, at this time it is the season of spring flowers blooming, and the atmosphere of the green and moist is very strong.
Mo Yo walked half of the incense, and Huo Ran became cheerful in front of him, and a large group of people surrounded him in front of a huge martial arts arena, and he faintly heard the sound of crying from inside, "...... Your Highness, you have to look carefully...... There's only one head on the minion's neck......"
No one noticed the arrival of Bai Guang, Shizi quietly squeezed into the crowd, came to the front of the crowd, only to see Wu Yi standing facing east, holding a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand, where he shot in front of him, a man dressed in a guard costume stood crookedly with a big Sydney on his head, Bai Guang recognized him as King Kang's personal guard stone, but at this time he was like a stone, but like a small grass swaying in the wind in the crack of the stone.
"Stand up straight and don't move. Wu Ye stretched out his bow and arrows, and was ready to shoot.
"Your Highness, I really want to shoot. "The stones are crying.
"Don't be afraid," Wu Ye comforted him with a loud voice, "Didn't you just see that this king was shot, and it will be fine." ”
"Shoot fast, shoot fast!", "Your Highness is an archer, you are afraid of a ball!", "Afraid of a ...... of labor...... The onlookers saw that the master was in high spirits, and they all roared to cheer him .......
Where the stone stood, there was a row of arrow targets, on which many arrows were shot, some of which hit the bull's-eye and some of which missed the .......
"Okay!" Shi glanced at the noisy crowd a little helplessly, and finally turned his heart sideways, closed his eyes and said, "Your Highness, come on!"
Wu Ye slowly raised the bow and arrow in his hand, Bai Guang looked at his hand holding the bow, his face showed a look of approval, and his right hand holding the stone grain couldn't help but loosen.
Wu Ye's hand raising the bow was very steady, without the slightest shaking, the hand that drew the bow was very powerful, he just aimed at it a little and then shot the arrow in his hand, and after closing his eyes, the stone felt a gust of wind blowing above his head, and then he heard the cheers of the heaven-shaking realm, "Okay!"
"Your Highness is good at archery!"
"Your Highness is mighty!"
Wu Yi looked at everyone proudly, and then his eyes fell on Bai Guang at the front, he casually dropped the bow in his hand, strode over, and when a punch in his chest slammed over, Bai Guang's body stepped out of the way, and said angrily, "Is this the hospitality of His ......Royal Highness King Kang?"
"Hey, hey......" Wu Yi chased after him from behind, and scolded with a smile, "Are you so stingy?
"What good news would Your Highness want to hear?" Seeing his impatient look, Bai Guang deliberately teased him.
"Of course, the more exciting, the more bizarre, the more exciting, the more fragrant, the better. Wu Yi immediately revealed his original form and turned on the Hu Kan mode.
"Sorry, no. Bai Guang spread his hands and made a helpless gesture.
"Yes, yes, the prince of Dayi has attracted butterflies with the talent of the world, and successfully stirred this pool of spring water, for a while the spring heart of the Jinghua boudoir was unbearable, and if the prince of the world crossed the river, the foreign princess who dared to love and hate also came, but he did not want to be rejected by the prince who did not understand the amorous feelings, and then made a covenant of life and death under anger......" Wu Yi, who had been stuffed in the house for many days, became more and more excited, and unconsciously the two had arrived in front of the hanging flower door of the verandah.
"Are you jealous?" Bai Guang asked, then pointed to the hanging flower door, "If you are jealous, you just lack a hostess in this inner house, and the princess happens to be the type you like, you are the eldest brother, can the younger brother give it to you?"
"Who said this king likes this genre anymore?" Wu Yi asked rhetorically with fighting eyes.
"Don't you remember that girl two years ago? You looked at people...... They all drank tea to their noses...... Princess Gao Li looks like her, do you like it?" Bai Guang said as he winked at His Royal Highness King Kang, who was already blushing.
"That's ...... That's when I feel ......familiar," Wu Yi was anxious, and said hatefully, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't mention this in the future......?"
"If you don't talk nonsense, I naturally won't mention it, see if you dare to talk nonsense next time. ”
"But what I'm saying is the truth, otherwise how could she be angry, and how could she make a life and death pact with you? Isn't she abnormal? This king really wants to see what she compares to you......" Facing Bai Guang's ruthless warning, Wu Yi angrily expressed that he was not talking nonsense.
"Most of the powerful women have such a temperament, but I am afraid that it is difficult to guess with common sense. In short, no matter what she thinks, after three days, as long as she survives this competition safely, she will no longer have anything to do with her. ”
"Three days later, April 15......" Wu Yi raised his forehead in thought, "the night of the full moon...... Why do I always feel weird, like something is going to happen...... Hey, I'm still claustrophobic, if I don't have more people and more eyes, I can take care of you. ”
"Although it is this day, but the competition is not at night, what is the night of the full moon, Your Majesty has decreed that the safety of the scene is the responsibility of the Praetorian Guard, with Commander Nie in charge, there is no need to worry too much, just ......"
"Just what?"
"I just don't know if His Royal Highness will come......
"Needless to say, he's coming!"
"Then the stands of the princes should not be too far apart, and then you don't just care about the competition on the field......"
The reference of this sentence was already very obvious, Wu Yi was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and asked with doubt, "Do you think the third child will be a ghost?"
Bai Guang didn't tell Wu Yi about Lao Qiu, and he didn't plan to tell him, for an idle prince who had no intention of taking the supreme position, the darker side of this kind of succession was naturally the less he knew, the safer.
"After all, Princess Gao Li is at stake, her safety is not a trivial matter, it doesn't hurt for Your Highness to pay more attention, right?" Bai Guang changed the topic without a trace.
"Uh, wait, what do you mean......" Wu Yi glared at Bai Guang, "...... Can I get out of the house?"
"Naturally, you can do it, otherwise you think I'm really so idle? I came to see you to show off your majesty in the martial arts arena?" Bai Guang glared at him back, stood up and walked out, "Okay, I'm very busy, since the task is completed...... Let's go first!"
"Hey, wait......" Wu Yi saw him say that he would leave, and hurriedly grabbed him, "I'll change my clothes and go with you to see Uncle Wang......"
Nie Bei's efficiency is very high, the Ministry of Industry, The Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple also cooperated with the work of the forbidden army, the sword platform was built in one day, and several areas of the building were also completed in the same day, and the preparations were progressing smoothly, but there was a little episode in the arrangement of the viewing post, because there were only three hundred seats in the entire viewing building, but the nobles in Beijing who wanted to watch the battle were far more than that, in addition to the one hundred fixed by the members of the royal family, there were fifty seats left for the Gao Li Mission, and the rest was just half, many courtiers could not stand their families and wanted to see, and they couldn't help but secretly look for Nie Bei to ask for a post, Nie Bei could not wipe the face and pushed it to Zhang Shuo, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who was responsible for the printing of the post, Zhang Shuo in turn pushed it to Honglu Temple, pushed back and forth, but finally fell on Bai Guang's body.
To everyone's surprise, Bai Guang took over the headache job very happily and happily, but they were still too happy, because it didn't take long for them to find out that Bai Guang kicked the ball back .......
Recently, the prince who has been in the limelight has once again let the ministers see his power, and he divided the remaining 150 to the various ministries and departments in the government office, such as the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry and other six departments of each fifteen, and the Jingzhao Yamen, Dali Division and other ten yamen...... In this way, the person who wanted him turned to the right seat and went to the ministry...... Wu Yi was amazed when he learned about this, and put two thumbs up in front of his nose, and said hatefully in a worshipful tone, "How many knots are in the intestines in your heart?
Because of the nervousness of the post, Bai Guang only asked for two for the palace, Bai Susu naturally wanted to go, Lao Ji wanted to guard the king of Dingbei and couldn't leave, originally the chief of the palace and other subordinate officials were there, how could it not be Yue Rong'er's turn, but the county lord wanted to find a companion, so that someone would accompany him to talk, and the others were also very interested and resolutely shirked, and finally it naturally fell on her head. Bai Susu was still messing with her younger brother, with a straight face on the surface, but she was looking forward to it in her heart, Yue Rong'er couldn't see anything, her expression was light, and she poured tea and water for the prince to feed the medicine...... As usual, what to do or what to do.
By the afternoon of April 14th, all the preparations were in place, and as far as the competition was concerned, the only thing to do now was to wait patiently for that moment to come. Since waking up after a long coma, Bai Qi's condition is getting better day by day, when the emperor used to visit the patient, he was afraid that Bai Qi would not dare to stay too long, but he came after the morning this morning, and he didn't leave until the afternoon, it seems that the two brothers talked very deeply this time.
After Bai Guang entered the door, he immediately noticed the difference today, and his father had put the golden silk python pillow on his back waist at this moment, and the whole person seemed to be in very good spirits. This pillow was sent by the emperor yesterday, and it was all high-quality silver rat fur, which was soft and elastic, and there were only three in the entire palace.
Bai Qi patted the edge of the bed and motioned for Bai Guang to sit beside him, and after Bai Guang sat down, Bai Qi moved his upper body up again, and then stared at the son in front of him quietly, Bai Guang felt his father's gaze through him, looking at the other end of the ...... time.
"Father......" Bai Guang's heart was sour, and he lowered his body and said softly, "Are you missing your mother again......"
"Yes, my father thinks that if your mother had a spirit in heaven, she would be glad because of you. Bai Qi took a deep breath, wanting to calm down the sadness in his deep abdomen, because he still had important things to discuss with Bai Guang next, so without waiting for Bai Guang to reply, he continued, " You returned to Beijing from Zhongnan Mountain, it was only a month and a half, but the things that happened during this period were one after another, my father heard some from His Majesty, and I heard some from Rong'er, but they were not their own experience, so naturally it is not as clear as you, you are now telling your father, whether it is the course of the matter or your personal inference, you must not have the slightest concealment, this is very important, you know?"
Bai Guang nodded lightly, he never thought of hiding anything from his father again, on the contrary, he wanted to let his father know everything that happened as soon as possible, including his own inferences and countermeasures, because everything aimed at would eventually point to the Bai family, a few days ago he was worried that his father's condition would not be able to withstand this kind of stimulation, and now his father seems to be in good spirits, and he took the initiative to ask, then, it is time to tell everything.
He tucked his father's quilt and moved the pillow up, and then started from saving Yuerong'er in Chunlanfang, until Lao Qiu was arrested by mistake, and every time he said something, he would say his opinion on this matter.
He said slowly, Bai Qi listened quietly, in the narrative for more than an hour, Bai Qi never interjected to interrupt him, although the tone of Bai Guang's narration was so plain that it seemed to be telling other people's stories, but all kinds of thrilling places, even if it was a generation of famous generals who were iron-blooded on the battlefield, fought horses all their lives, and experienced countless calamities, they couldn't help but be moved from time to time.
The room was silent, and when all the narration came to an abrupt end, Bai Qi let out a long sigh and closed his eyes a little tiredly.
"Father......" Bai Guang looked at his father's pale cheeks, and said softly, "After listening to it for so long, you must be very tired, rest first, don't think about it......"
"No......" Bai Qi suddenly opened his eyes and said softly, "Don't be tired for your father, child, you help me up!"
Bai Guang helped his father's upper body up, Bai Qi leaned on the pillow, tried to straighten his waist, his eyes gradually turned from soft to sharp, and his tone was solemn, "You can always remember the ancestral motto of the Bai family that is not involved in party disputes, and I am very pleased for my father." All the favor of the Bai family today is obtained by the blood of the ancestors on the battlefield, and the Bai family can afford this favor. However, children, being able to afford honor does not mean that you can withstand the misunderstanding of the world, in the face of rumors like knives, in the face of cold arrows that may shoot at you at any time, can you still stick to your original intention and loyalty, and keep your pure nature? When your relatives are regarded as obstacles and unfortunately leave you, can you still not be obsessed?......
"Father......" Bai Guang couldn't bear to listen to it anymore, and wanted to interrupt his father.
"You have been calm since you were a child, your mood is invisible, and everything is stuffy in your heart, the reason why your father let you learn art to the end of your life, one is that you have no time to teach you all year round, and the other wants you to learn some skills from the Taoist, but these are not the first ...... The top of the end of the south is in the south peak, and you can broaden your mind by climbing high and looking far away, and you can cleanse the turbidity and leave a clear ...... Living on a high ground all the year round, you can stand taller in all earthly things and the ups and downs of life, and see farther...... As far as it seems now, you have indeed done it, and it is much better than your father expected, so no matter whether the concubine or the king of Lin, no matter how they want to target you and the Bai family, in addition to self-preservation, you must not kill the killer, and when you really find conclusive evidence, it is ...... to submit it to Your Majesty for the Holy Judgment."
Bai Guang was silent.
No matter what the situation is in the future, no matter which imaginary enemy you become, no matter how difficult the situation is, no matter how difficult the situation is, no matter how difficult the situation is, you should always do it...... There is only His Majesty in his eyes!"
Can you do it? When the day really comes, you can really do it so that you can only pull out the knife that was inserted into your chest and watch your loved ones fall in front of your eyes, and you can't do anything but shed a few tears to mourn and grieve? And all this is just because the other party's surname is Wu, is it pure royal blood? Bai Guang couldn't answer at this moment, so he could only choose to remain silent.
After a long time, Bai Qi saw that Bai Guang was still silent, and couldn't help but sigh heavily and said, "You have such a temperament, I don't know who to follow, you never know how to be perfunctory, and if you can't count, it's hard for you to speak......"
"Father," after a long silence, Bai Guang finally spoke, "Your teachings are all in mind, but on my sister's side, my father is afraid that he will have to talk to her properly." ”
"You're right, after this illness, my father knows that your sister's affairs can't be delayed any longer. ”
"What is Father's plan?"
"She acted so wantonly and recklessly, regardless of it, her father had to ...... her"
At this moment, the door was pushed open, Bai Susu coincidentally walked in, and the conversation between father and son had to be interrupted, "Father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to see you......" Bai Susu's cheeks were red, and there was excitement in his voice that could be heard by a deaf person, and before the words fell, the prince's laughter sounded at the door, "Uncle Wang, is it better?"
The prince didn't know what he was busy with these days, and after waking up from his confession, this was the first time he came to the palace to visit the sick, so that he confessed as soon as he entered the door, "I've been really busy these days, and I should have come to the palace to see Uncle Wang's ......."
Bai Qi didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and hurriedly beckoned Bai Guang to watch the seat, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please take a seat............" As he spoke, he was about to get up and salute, and the prince hurriedly held him down gently, "I can't do it, I can't help it, it's important to recuperate."
Bai Guang quietly retreated, gently closed the door, out of the weeping flower door, walked to the south of the hand-copying verandah for a while, looked up, only to know that the foot of the sun had been west, stopped for a while, turned and stepped on a gravel path, the end of the path is not a wide grass, a thin teenager is seriously dancing the sword, Bai Guang picked up an object from the ground, flicked his fingers, the young man heard the wind behind him, instinctively returned to the sword grid, only to hear the sound of "choking", actually let him accurately hit this sudden "hidden weapon".
"Childe ......" the boy abandoned his sword and kowtowed.
"Very good! Although this is a set of starting swordsmanship, you can't practice this kind of heat without spending some effort, you are still growing your body, you can't practice too hard, you know?" Bai Guang said softly.
Xiao Tong nodded vigorously, perhaps because he had used too much force just now, or perhaps because Bai Guang's praise made him a little excited, his little face was swollen red, as if he was afraid that Bai Guang would be angry with him, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Nu has always remembered Childe's words, and he never dared to practice for more than ten hours every day. ”
"How many times have I told you, Xiaotong is not a slave of Baifu, remember next time. Bai Guang liked this well-behaved and sensible little boy very much, and reached out and gently rubbed his little head.
"Childe don't want me and my sister to leave, okay?" Xiao Tong thought that Bai Guang didn't want him to be a slave to drive them away, and anxious tears fell, "Xiao Tong and my sister must listen to Childe in the future, Xiao Tong must practice swordsmanship well, and ...... in the future." In the future, he will protect his son like Grandpa Ji protects the old prince. ”
"When you reach Grandpa Ji's age, I'm afraid that my bones can beat the drum......" Bai Guang rubbed his head with a smile again, but his eyes were as dark as a deep pool.
