As soon as the prince got off the carriage, he saw Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi who had worshipped his father, returning to the team. After nodding to Bai Qingyan from afar, he smiled and invited King Yan of Xiliang and the princess to enter the post station.
Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi handed the horse to the post station horseman. Just as they were about to enter the post station, they saw Liu Rushi and Zhang Duanrui saluting and walked towards the post station with their heads raised. Bai Qingyan raised his hand to stop Bai Jinzhi and let Liu Rushi take a step.
Seeing this, Liu Rushi not only refused to thank him, but instead snorted coldly, shook her sleeves and walked into the inn with her hands, and was also in a state of unwilling to be with Bai Qingyan.
Zhang Duanrui was stunned. He originally thought that in the peace talks, Liu Rushi and Bai Qingyan sang together. Liu Rushi must have let go of his prejudices, but he did not expect that he was still as a sour spirit as a Confucian scholar.
Bai Jinzhi was very angry by Liu Ru's morale: "You..."
Before Bai Jinzhi could finish speaking, Bai Qingyan had already pressed Bai Jinzhi and pointed at Liu Rushi's hand, signaling Bai Jinzhi to look inside the inn...
In the inn, the injured Li Zhijie stood upstairs, smiling and looking at the direction of the door, her peach blossom eyes were shimmering and her emotions were not visible.
Even if there is no match for Jin, outsiders in Xiliang cannot be allowed to make jokes. Bai Jinzhi naturally knows this truth.
"General Bai!" Zhang Duanrui stepped forward and smiled and bowed to Bai Qingyan, "Mr. Liu was famous for his bad temper when he was in the capital. Master Bai is willing to let him go!"
"I'm just a sour scholar. What's the point of putting on airs? If my elder sister hadn't won the victory with all the generals, he would have been here to show off his power, so he would be ungrateful!" Bai Jinzhi lowered his voice to Liu Rushi's back and complained to Zhang Duanrui.
.
"Most literati and scholars are like that! The fourth girl is here!" Zhang Duanrui smiled and interrupted, "General Bai, please..."
Although Bai Jinzhi was unhappy, he would suppress his anger when he thought that he could see Brother Jiu in Feng County tomorrow.
While the prince had not yet rested, Bai Qingyan went to tell the prince that he wanted to go to Fengxian to worship Bai Qingming tomorrow morning. The prince nodded and told Bai Qingyan to catch up with the team as soon as possible after worshiping: "You are here."
Only then can one feel at ease.”
She retreated from the prince's room, but saw Qin Shangzhi standing not far away, looking at her with his hands behind his back.
Last time she thought that Li Zhijie asked for the Dong family's death. Although the prince and Mr. Fang found nothing, Bai Qingyan knew... With Qin Shangzhi's talent, he probably had already discovered clues.
Although Qin Shangzhi had sent her a letter, he was the prince's counselor, how could he not serve the prince but her?
Bai Qingyan and Qin Shangzhi stood on the hillside behind the post station. Qin Shangzhi turned his head and looked at Bai Qingyan: "I'm careful to send someone to explore the fire by the Jing River, and there are no broken bones inside.
, So Miss Bai... the dead soldiers brought by Li Zhijie, the King of Yan of Xiliang, are basically Miss Bai's people, right?"
Although Qin Shangzhi met Bai Qingyan for a short time, he knew that Bai Qingyan was an unparalleled person and valued love and friendship.
Seeing that Bai Qingyan did not answer, Qin Shangzhi said, "I have been saved by Miss Bai's life, so this time I only want to use the strength to protect Miss Bai's life! But... I am the adviser of His Highness the Crown Prince, so I must not look at Bai Da.
The girl fooled His Highness into applause!”
After saying that, Qin Shangzhi bowed to Bai Qingyan and turned around and left, and wanted to find the prince to explain the matter.
"Mr. Qin..." Bai Qingyan called Qin Shangzhi slowly, "Those dead soldiers are indeed my people."
Qin Shangzhi turned his head and looked at Bai Qingyan, full of anger: "Why?! He sacrificed his life to assassinate the King of King Yan of Xiliang to destroy the peace talks between the Great Jin Dynasty of Xiliang? In order to support soldiers through war?
!I thought Miss Bai was a person who was as loyal as the king of the world and the king of Zhen. Could it be that you really want the people of the world to fall into war and fight for power and profit!"
"My ninth brother is in Qiushan Pass." Bai Qingyan's voice was slow.
Qin Shangzhi's full of anger seemed to touch the ice, and suddenly retracted. After a moment of stunned silence, he became calm: "Ninth Brother? Bai Family Lang?"
Under the glittering stars, the night wind blew the red cloth belt of Bai Qingyan's hair.
Her voice was extremely low: "My ninth brother was the assassin who assassinated the Emperor of Xiliang. He was captured alive by Li Zhijie and secretly brought to Qiushan Pass! I was waiting for Li Zhijie to discuss peace with him. My ninth brother is the one who acted as a "Ninth brother"!
But Xiliang cuts land and pays compensation. No matter what incredible conditions the State of Jin has offered, I never put my ninth brother on the peace table. Mr. Qin said... Do I want to watch my own brother in Xiliang?
Are people suffering from torture?”
There is actually a son in the Bai family. Qin Shangzhi asked in a low voice: "Then... the ninth young master, are you still alive?"
She nodded gently.
Qin Shangzhi fist tightened: "But you can't let Your Majesty know about this. Your Majesty can keep the Bai family because Miss Bai, you are still a woman. If Your Majesty knows that the Bai family has a son who survives,
I am afraid that it is…”
"Mr. Qin understands the truth, so he naturally understands the words." She looked at Qin Shangzhi, "So, I would like to ask Mr. Qin to remember the favor of saving the Bai family in the past, and keep silent about this matter."
"I am the prince's... the strategist." Qin Shangzhi said the last two words very lightly, "And even if I don't say it, Fang Lao and Ren Shijie around the prince are not simple characters, although they have not thought it through for the time being,
It would be a matter of time before I understand that it would be a matter of time before Ren Shijie... I heard that he had stopped by Jinghe while going to prepare a gift for His Majesty."
"Yan just asked the gentleman to hide the fact that his ninth brother survived. He is now the prince's counselor, so he should be the prince's counselor. Yan understands in his heart! Mr. can now tell the prince that those black-clothed dead men are my people, and you can also tell him.
Your highness's black-clothed dead man was buried by me by the Jing River and was not burned!" She bowed to Qin Shangzhi and bowed to him, "I thank you for sending a letter to you, and thank you for your ninth brother for your life."
It was not that she had thought of letting Qin Shangzhi join hands with her, but now she has not occupied a place in the height of the temple, so how dare she invite her rashly?
Something flashed through Qin Shangzhi's mind. He looked at Bai Qingyan: "You ask me to tell Your Highness, what do you mean?"
With Bai Qingyan's mind, if you dare to let him tell the crown prince, you will definitely be fearless... and even have something to wait behind.
"To get the trust of the prince!" Bai Qingyan said frankly and bluntly.
"Since you want the prince's trust, why don't you tell the prince directly?" Qin Shangzhi had just said that, and pursed his lips. If he told the prince that the ninth son of the Bai family was still alive in Qiushan Pass, even His Majesty would know about this.
He has been following the prince for the past few days and can be seen that this prince... is so afraid of the current emperor, he is considered a good son.
