Chapter 255: Can he really accept the return of the God of War...
Zhao Bai did not expect that the good news Shi Miyuan said was actually an edict from the emperor.
The emperor granted Qin Shaobai and Xiaolan a marriage.
For a time, the entire court knew that the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture was a talent that the Right Prime Minister had recently valued.
The originally deserted Qin Mansion suddenly became lively.
There was an endless stream of people coming to celebrate.
The hall was filled with gifts.
Qin An directed several servants to keep their feet on the ground.
Zhao Bai was waiting for guests in the front hall and didn't show much excitement.
Xiaolan hid in the room and refused, saying that she was not used to official interactions.
Indeed, Zhao Bai sometimes felt that when these people spoke high-sounding flattery, they were really full of witty words, one sentence after another.
But no matter how beautiful what I said before,
Almost everyone has to say something when they say goodbye and leave.
If Mr. Qin meets Mr. Shi, he must say a word or two for his subordinates in front of Mr. Shi.
Zhao Bai smiled bitterly, Shi Miyuan's status in the court was evident, and he seemed to have become a member of the Shijia Gang.
Zhao Bai himself didn't feel much about it. Anyway, those who are clean will clean themselves up.
Moreover, he found that the marriage that Shi Miyuan asked for for him was very much in line with his wishes.
The people around him did not have such a good attitude as him. Ever since they learned about the marriage, they had not appeared in the Qin Mansion.
On this day, everyone who was supposed to come had arrived, and the Qin Mansion finally returned to peace.
Zhao Bai asked Qin An to invite Song Ci and others over, saying they had important matters to discuss.
Several people sat around tea, but they all had angry faces.
After drinking a cup of tea moodily, Song Ci turned his attention to the Sixth Prince.
"Your Majesty, I have mentioned this to you a long time ago. Why didn't you propose marriage to the Emperor earlier? It's good now. Shi Miyuan has become Shaobai's great matchmaker, letting the world know that Shaobai relies on flattery.
Shi Miyuan just came into his own."
Everyone sighed, and Bi Zaiyu said whimsically:
"How about we go to the emperor to take back the order, and then you, the Sixth Prince, can go and request a decree."
He immediately received countless looks from everyone.
Is this emperor's edict a joke?
The Sixth Prince originally just sat there quietly.
Now that he heard Song Ci blaming him in this way, he felt that it would be unreasonable to remain silent like this, so he sighed softly.
Hearing his sigh, Song Ci couldn't bear to say any more for a moment, so she sat down next to Zhao Bai and poured tea for herself.
At this time, Li Xiaolin, who had endured it for a long time, threw the teacup on the table and jumped up:
"The most disgusting thing is that I heard that Shi Miyuan, when advising the emperor, said that Shaobai was his good helper. If he became a member of the royal family, he could work with him to serve the royal family better."
As soon as Li Xiaolin raised his voice, everyone in the room had to look at him.
"It's really funny. Our Shaobai is originally..."
Li Xiaolin said, seeing Song Ci and Bi Zaiyu winking at him, he immediately understood that he had opened his mouth again, clicked the pause button and stopped there.
Zhao Bai smiled, he knew what everyone here meant.
He also understood that these people here already knew that he had returned to his true nature.
They just didn't know that his recovery was different from ordinary people's recovery.
His recovery comes at the expense of another soul's sleep.
The Sixth Prince stared at Zhao Bai and carefully recognized Zhao Bai's expression.
Finally, the Sixth Prince stood up and walked step by step in front of Zhao Bai.
He stared at Zhao Bai, as if he wanted to see through Zhao Bai.
"Sixth Prince."
The other three shouted.
But they only called half of them.
The remaining half was choked in their throats in great pain but helpless.
"Brother Bai."
The Sixth Prince stared at Zhao Bai: "We are all waiting, waiting for you to come back."
Zhao Bai burst out laughing.
All eyes were on him.
Finally, Zhao Bai stopped laughing and his face became serious little by little.
"You have known this for a long time? But you still keep testing?"
A big stone in everyone's heart finally fell to the ground.
The joy in my heart is shown on my face.
"Do you all really hope that Zhao Bai will come back?"
Zhao Bai did not admit it immediately, but started questioning everyone.
"Sixth Prince, did you include Zhao Bai in your original plan?"
"General Bi, have you ever been worried about Zhao Bai's return and the generals of the Song Dynasty being restless?"
"Master Song, you have told Qin Shaobai more than once that if Qin Shaobai is always Qin Shaobai, you will always be friends with him. Then when Qin Shaobai really becomes Zhao Bai, you
Will you consider him a friend or an enemy?"
His eyes fell on Li Xiaolin again.
Li Xiaolin stood up before he could question him: "I don't care whether you are Qin Shaobai or Zhao Bai. You are the only friend I have. What does it matter if your surname is Qin or Zhao?"
Zhao Bai was shocked by Li Xiaolin's honest words, and then a sunny flower seemed to bloom in his heart, and he actually felt warm all over his body.
"Brother Xiao Lin, with your words, Zhao Bai is enough."
Zhao Bai did not expect that the effect of his words would be so great.
First, the hands he held were shaking violently, and then his whole body was pulled by Li Xiaolin and fell into Li Xiaolin's arms.
"Xiaobai, is it really you, is it really you?"
Zhao Bai gritted his teeth and wished he could punch him.
Didn’t you just vow that no matter who you are, he will treat you the same?
Behind me, I heard two thumps.
Zhao Bai turned around and saw Song Ci and Bi Zaiyu kneeling down.
"Master Song, General Bi, you, what are you doing?"
"Song Ci pays homage to His Highness the King of Zhennan."
"I've never met the God of War again."
"You two, are you trying to break me?" Zhao Bai smiled bitterly, "Get up, as brother Xiao Lin said, no matter I am Qin Shaobai or Zhao Bai, I am your good friend."
"Brother the Emperor is right." The Sixth Prince helped Zhao Bai to help Song Ci and Bi Zaiyu up. "The relationship between us can no longer be viewed from a secular perspective."
After everyone happily sat around the table, they began to discuss how to let the emperor know the news.
Zhao Bai's face darkened: "Everyone, tell me honestly, do you really want the God of War to come back?"
This topic is a bit awkward.
Several people looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't say anything.
Li Xiaolin was still honest. He picked up a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and said loudly:
"To be honest, the previous God of War was too tough, and some things he did were even more excessive than that of Shi Miyuan.
When I heard that he disappeared on the battlefield, I felt very sad, but to be honest, I really don't care whether he can come back or not."
After Li Xiaolin finished speaking regardless, he realized that what he said was actually more truthful than the truth.
He immediately looked at Zhao Bai with some fear: "I said God of War, you won't blame me."
Zhao Bai's originally livid face slowly softened,
He patted Li Xiaolin's hand on the table,
Li Xiaolin was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand.
"So, you all had the same idea as Brother Xiao Lin, right?"
Everyone looked at me again, and I looked at you, and finally nodded.
Zhao Bai laughed, this time a little sad.
"Then why were you so excited to welcome my return just now?"
"Zhao Bai, do you really feel nothing?"
Bi Zaiyu stood up.
"Since you became Qin Shaobai, the evil spirit in you has been reduced, and you have become much more peaceful, calm and wise."
Bi Zaiyu's eyes were full of sincere praise,
"Zhao Bai, a ruthless man may not be a true hero. How can a pity for a son not be a husband?
Only those who know how to think about the people and how to restrain their own nature can be called the true God of War."
Everyone nodded.
"So, you accept the current Zhao Bai?"
Everyone nodded again.
No one heard the faint hint of jealousy in Zhao Bai's voice.
"Brother, no matter it's you before or now, it's still you, and you are getting better and better."
The Sixth Prince Zhao Tian excitedly held Zhao Bai's hand.
"I knew you would wake up, and you would work with me to hold up two pillars of strength for this precarious Song Dynasty."
"The King of Zhennan, the Sixth Prince, and two old generals."
Song Ci's voice suddenly became calmer,
"We here are excited about the return of King Zhennan, but have you ever thought about whether the current emperor will also be happy because of the return of King Zhennan?
Can he really accept the return of King Zhennan like us?"
