Besides, Bai Xianyu paused for a moment, "Brother, and I guess, his imperial decree should be here soon. It will be within a day or two."
Outside the tent, the light of torches could be seen faintly through the white tent, and the soldiers looked around for the Xiyi people. Most of the shouting and shoving in the city came from the desperate Xiyi people, and after the people received the relief, some fled away, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Entering the city, the lieutenant revealed the emperor's intentions. Everyone was heartbroken, but they couldn't change the result of their homeland becoming an abandoned child, so they had to leave their hometown, hoping to return one day. However, there are also some people who, grateful for Bai Tan's deep kindness, choose to stay and join the army.
Outside the city, at some point, it fell into a gloomy darkness, as if there were dormant beasts prowling in the dark.
"I handed it to Xu Wanru before I came here. It has been seven days now. It will take time for her to find an opportunity. The imperial decree should arrive soon. If it is not today, it will be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"In this way, the time is even tighter."
"Exactly."
If you don’t leave now, Bai Xianyu thought, it will be too late when the imperial decree comes down.
Bai Tan understood what she meant, but frowned tightly, "If I leave now, how will the soldiers and people behind me deal with it? Since ancient times, no general has escaped from the battlefield."
"This is not an escape, it's just a stopgap measure."
"In my opinion, it is no different from running away."
In his previous life, the eldest brother would rather die than surrender, and the reinforcements were delayed. In the end, he was tricked by insiders and outsiders, and a whole city of soldiers was slaughtered. If Xie Xingyun hadn't sent the dead soldiers to rescue the eldest brother from the sea of corpses and blood, I'm afraid the end of the eldest brother would be just as tragic.
Bai Xianyu had expected that Bai Tanshen would say that, but now that she was surrounded by enemies, it was absolutely impossible for her to let Bai Tanshen surrender his military power and let others slaughter him.
"Brother, even if you don't leave, you can't stop Emperor Wuxuan, right? Emperor Wuxuan originally ordered to ignore your crime of resisting the decree under the persuasion of everyone, but in the end he changed his mind. Do you know why? "
"He knows his life experience."
"That's right." The girl tapped the table with her fingertips, "This is the real reason why he insisted on forming an alliance with Xiyi. If it was intentional before, then now, forming an alliance with Xiyi is the only thing Emperor Wu Xuan can do." , just killed your way."
Brother killed so many soldiers of Xiyi, and even killed members of the royal family of Xiyi, he has long been hated by them. Even if Emperor Wuxuan pretended to let his eldest brother off, the others would not miss the opportunity, and would definitely take advantage of his loss of power to sneak in. After all, catching a disease and dying in a cell, or just making up any excuse, can kill someone.
And all of this, Emperor Wu Xuan can let it go, and he can reap the benefits of the fisherman. It's like when he knew that the Bai family was sick, his first reaction was not to send someone to treat them, but after confirming that they were really sick, he sent someone to watch them fend for themselves.
In his opinion, no one can take over the position of eldest brother now, except that although it is a pity, it is not that no one is available. His throne is far more important than this.
"Brother, I know that there are some things that you cannot give up, such as soldiers who are born and died with you, such as innocent people, then..." Bai Xianyu paused for a while, his almond eyes were clear and bright, "I will always protect them Bar."
Bai Tan was shocked deeply.
has been protecting them, not abandoning, not leaving, but keeping them under his protection.
Bai Xianyu said it euphemistically, because he was afraid that Bai Tanshen would not agree. The eldest brother followed his father since he was a child, and was most influenced by his father. He might not accept her shocking suggestion, but now there is no other way.
No matter which way the eldest brother chooses, she will try her best to keep him. The three thousand dead soldiers she brought are all elite, and it is not impossible to fight a **** way.
After a while.
The man spoke slowly, "Tell me, where is the edict of the late emperor now?"
"In the hands of Xie Xingyun."
Bai Xianyu asked, "Brother doesn't believe me?"
Bai Tan chuckled deeply, and his eyes gradually became firmer, "How could I not believe you, it's just that this thing might cause death, I wanted to keep it for you, since it's not in your hands, I don't need to worry about it."
"Then we..."
"Xiao Yu'er, can you do me a favor?" He asked suddenly.
"What's busy?"
Bai Tan took pen and ink deeply and wrote a letter, "You help me deliver this thing to King Pingnan and King Nanzhao, and ask them to help."
"King Pingnan is loyal, but not foolish and loyal. It can be seen from his willingness to save you. He is also a hero who founded the country, and he is a brother of the late emperor. If he knows that Emperor Wuxuan is not the son of the late emperor, he will definitely raise troops. If it is as you said, Nanzhao Wang's only son died at the hands of Emperor Wuxuan, he has always had a hot temper, especially protective of his weaknesses, it would be fine if Emperor Wuxuan was the heir, but he is not of the orthodox royal blood, with his temper, he must not be able to bear it."
"Besides..."
Bai Xianyu was listening carefully, and suddenly met Bai Tan's searching eyes, and was slightly taken aback, "Besides what?"
"Besides, the King of Nanzhao loves Xie Xingyun very much. If Xie Xingyun is the righteous prince, he will never sit idly by, and it is absolutely impossible to let Xie Xingyun be a courtier who kills his father and enemies."
Bai Xianyu thought about what Xie Xingyun said before that he had no intention of the throne, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried, "Brother, you mean to support Princess Jing'an, or Xie Xingyun to ascend the throne? But what if they don't want to?"
As if he did not expect Bai Xianyu to ask such a question, Bai Tan paused for a few seconds, "Then they will never live in peace, Emperor Wu Xuan will not let them go, and they will not let Emperor Wu Xuan go, as for who will ascend the throne, Whoever sits in that position, Princess Jing'an is not willing, can pass it on to Xie Xingyun, if Xie Xingyun is not willing, he will definitely arrange for a suitable person, it is not that there is no blood of the first emperor in the current royal family, so it is not impossible to choose one from them."
"Besides, Xie Xingyun is so young, he can marry a wife and have a baby by himself."
Bai Xianyu didn't know why, but suddenly thought of the feng shui master she met in Liangzhou, who said that Xie Xingyun had the appearance of an emperor. Unexpectedly, one day, she might witness it with her own eyes.
She was still immersed in her own emotions, completely ignoring the deep meaning in Bai Tanshen's eyes, "This letter is of great importance, Xiao Yu'er, I only believe in you."
Bai Xianyu came back to his senses, and solemnly accepted the letter, "Okay, I will definitely bring it, and bring back the reinforcements."
"Um."
The night is dark and gloomy, and the dim star hangs in the corner of the sky, precarious.
Singing came from nowhere, loud and sad, and sad to those who heard it.
Bai Xianyu's eyes were slightly sour, "Then I'll leave now, brother, you must wait for me to come back."
"Be careful on the road, I'll send someone to see you off."
"good."
…
Da Kui Kyoto.
Emperor Wu Xuan's face was ashen, "A bunch of waste, even a few smallpox patients can't stand it, what use do I need you for!"
"Your Majesty, calm down! The most urgent thing is to find Master Bai and the others, otherwise I don't know what troubles will happen."
"Have you found any other traces? It can't just disappear like this, right?"
Liu Deyi didn't dare to show his anger, "I have sent people to search urgently, but there is no news yet..."
"Waste! A bunch of waste!"
The teacup exploded beside him, and the ear-piercing sound passed through everyone's hearts, and they couldn't help but tremble.
Emperor Wu Xuan was extremely angry, "What use do I want you to!"
"Your Majesty calmed down, and the ministers also felt that it was very strange. The Bai family suddenly had smallpox, and the servants of their family, I sent someone to investigate, and none of them were infected with smallpox. Now they disappeared. It's really weird. Extremely. I'm afraid there is something unclean mixed in."
"Why, now that the person is gone, do you want to catch a ghost to make up for your crime!"
"I dare not, dare not!"
Liu Deyi was sweating profusely in anxiety. He was obviously locked and surrounded by people, so that the world evaporated.
But now if you don't give His Majesty an explanation, I'm afraid he will lose his head. After a few seconds, he suddenly seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, and said happily: "Your Majesty, National Teacher! Chilian National Teacher! Such a weird thing, The national teacher is very human, he is the reincarnation of an immortal, and he will definitely be able to see clues that the humble minister cannot see. Your Majesty, why not call the national teacher to come, the national teacher has a great knowledge of the past and the present, and has the ability to predict the future, so he will definitely be able to point out the maze You don't have to run around like a headless chicken!"
"Chilian." Emperor Wuxuan remembered that there was such a person, and he frowned, "The last time the decree was delivered, did you announce the time when the national teacher entered the palace?"
"Return to Your Majesty, the announcement was announced, but the national teacher said that there was a heavenly secret coming, and there was no time to wait, so he pushed back the day of advancing to the palace."
In the past, Chilian Guoshi often explored the secrets of heaven, sometimes in the observatory, sometimes in a place where spiritual energy gathered.
Therefore, the chief **** didn't care about it. He was asked by Emperor Wu Xuan today and answered truthfully.
But Emperor Wuxuan faintly felt that something was wrong, "You, go to the National Teacher's Mansion and invite the National Teacher back. If there is no one, go to the place where the National Teacher asked. Within today, I want to see the National Teacher Chilian Station In front of me."
"yes."
But after a day, the eunuchs and guards still couldn't find the national teacher.
Liu Deyi knelt in the imperial study for a day, feeling dizzy.
Emperor Wu Xuan was furious, "How dare you fool me!"
Bai Mohuai, Bai Jingyuan and Bai Jinyan of the Bai family disappeared, and the national teacher disappeared.
What courage!
Emperor Wu Xuan figured it out after a day's work. I am afraid that from the beginning, they were not sick, but had a premonition of something and resorted to the golden cicada to escape their shells!
Now I don't know where!
It's a pity that everyone in Beijing now knows that the general's mansion has smallpox, which can be called an incurable disease. He failed to convict them before they "came smallpox". Future generations, it would be too disgraceful.
If the crime is truthfully punished, wouldn’t everyone in the world know that he is a majestic emperor, and he was fooled by a few children and made people laugh!
Difficult for a while, Emperor Wu Xuan was so angry that the smell of blood filled his throat.
It seems that people can only secretly investigate their whereabouts.
"The Bai family! It's really good!"
