Chapter 381 Something Happened to General Bai
The bright yellow object fell in front of Xie Xingyun and Bai Xianyu, and spread it on the table with its back facing down.
After the death-like silence, the eyes of the two froze almost at the same time.
…
There are ruins everywhere.
The sky is full of dust, and a few faint but tenacious smoke rises, streaking across the pale sky, and the scorched grass and trees fall sickly by the roadside.
The little girl in ragged clothes crawled out of the cellar, her face and hands were as black as coal, only the white buns on her hands were so clean that they were out of place.
She walked around the corner, stepped on the broken window, jumped into the half-burned house, went inside, opened the lid of the wine barrel and jumped in.
It was pitch black inside, and the little girl accidentally fell down and hit the person.
"Daddy, mother."
The man and the woman with disheveled hair cuddled up to each other. Upon closer inspection, the man's trouser legs were empty, and the woman's arm was dripping with blood.
"Wanwan is back." The woman carefully moved the man's body away and sat up, her face was haggard, but her eyes were loving, "Thank you for your hard work, Wanwan."
The little girl named Wanwan was very courageous just now, the road was strewn with corpses, and her pace did not slow down, but now her eyes are red, and she looks at the woman with aggrieved eyes, "Mother, why didn't the general Come?"
The woman smiled bitterly. She touched Wanwan's head with her good right hand, and said in a misty tone, "Soon, General Bai will be here soon."
"Then how long do we have to wait?"
"…have no idea."
"When the general comes, I can avenge Er Niu and the others." Wanwan cried and took out the steamed buns, and said in a childlike voice: "There is also a master, aunt..."
The woman also shed tears, "Yes."
Before Bai Tanshen arrived at the border, he received an urgent document from eight hundred miles away.
"General, the news from Kyoto, Your Majesty's oracle!" The deputy general hurried over with a brocade box, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty ordered the general to rest in place and wait for the envoys to go together!"
Bai Tan deeply frowned, "What?"
He snatched the thing from the lieutenant general's hand, unfolded it, and his face suddenly became completely gloomy.
"General, what should I do? General Li's place has fallen, and the situation is urgent..."
The man stared at the words "stand still" on the imperial decree, and his knuckles were so hard that they turned white.
"These days the general has been driving the army day and night, just to reduce the casualties of the people. If there is any delay, I'm afraid it will become an empty city by the time we go."
The Xiyi people are bloodthirsty and have no sympathy. Whenever they capture a city, the first thing they do when they enter the city is to massacre it.
Bai Tanshen didn't hesitate for long, and threw the imperial decree into the brocade box. The red-tasseled spear shone with cold light, "The general is out, and the king's order is not acceptable."
The deputy general was taken aback, "General..."
"This matter is confidential, continue on your way."
"yes!"
…
At midnight.
Bai Xianyu and Xie Xingyun sat around the table, with a lamp placed in the center.
It took a long time for Bai Xianyu to recover from the shock. Even though she was prepared, she still couldn't withstand the shock when she saw it with her own eyes.
"Xie Xingyun..." She looked at the handsome young man with closed eyes and meditated, and murmured, "Is this real or fake?"
Xie Xingyun raised his eyelids calmly, "Really."
Bai Xianyu still had an unrealistic, dreamlike feeling. She twisted her arm and regained a little bit of energy, "If this imperial decree is true, it is the late emperor's will, then..."
"Then, Princess Jing'an should inherit the throne?"
Xie Xingyun hummed lightly, his eyes thoughtful.
Bai Xianyu bit her lip, no wonder, she used to think that Princess Jing'an was favored too much, the late emperor would leave her eight thousand personal guards in such a critical place like the capital, even his own Imperial Forest Army was no more than that. Thirty thousand.
There is also the Princess Palace, which is comparable to a small palace. You must know that Emperor Wu Xuan didn't even live in the Prince's Mansion before he took the throne of God.
But doting on a daughter like this is not in accordance with the etiquette.
According to the eldest son, Emperor Wu Xuan is both the eldest son and the elder, so he should inherit the throne.
Bai Xianyu felt a little strange, looked at Xie Xingyun, "What are you going to do in the future?"
"What do you mean?"
"Knowing this secret, what are you going to do? No matter what, Princess Jing'an is the princess. There is no rule in Da Kui that women cannot be called emperors. The first emperor conquered the country, and the rules he set are the rules."
In this way, Xie Xingyun, as the direct son of Princess Jing'an, is the real heir apparent.
But Xie Xingyun's reaction was still flat. He glanced at her and casually raised the corners of his lips, "I have no interest in being an emperor."
Bai Xianyu choked, and only Xie Xingyun in this world could say such a thing. In all honesty, if one were to be emperor between Emperor Wu Xuan and Xie Xingyun, she would definitely support Xie Xingyun.
At least Xie Xingyun won't do anything to them.
However, she can't force others to be difficult.
"Okay. Then what should we do with this thing?" Bai Xianyu didn't expect to dig up a posthumous edict. The empress dowager is really talented, and she actually buried such an important thing in the imperial tomb. , is it a truth?
"You keep it."
Bai Xianyu was slightly taken aback, "You give such an important thing to me?"
"It was you who discovered it, besides, this thing is useless to me."
Bai Xianyu was silent for a while. If someone else said that, she really wanted to refute a few words, but she thought that the person in front of her was Xie Xingyun, and when he said these words, there was a kind of calm and courage.
Also, if he wants this world, whether he has this will or not, Da Kui is in his pocket.
She has no doubt that Xie Xingyun has this ability.
But in her hands, it is equivalent to having an extra bargaining chip when facing Emperor Wu Xuan. At least, with this thing, it may be able to produce a surprise effect in the future.
After thinking for a while, Bai Xianyu didn't refuse, "Okay, then I'll keep it for you. If you want to go back, you can ask me anytime."
Xie Xingyun nodded. Some things could actually be seen very early on. For example, Emperor Wu Xuan was not an emperor who was satisfied with the previous emperors. To take the simplest example, since ancient times, the eldest son who has not been established as the crown prince has one hand. I can count them.
Bai Xianyu opened the posthumous edict and took a look, then paused, "Before leaving the imperial mausoleum, you should keep it, my place is not safe, and there are too many eyeliners."
Xie Xingyun agreed now, he looked up at the moonlight, "It's getting late, let's rest early."
"good."
Not long after Bai Xianyu left, Xie Xingyun did not follow her to the next door to her, but sat on a chair and fell asleep.
After about half an hour, a ghostly figure fell in front of him.
"Young master."
Xie Xingyun opened his eyes, "What's the matter?"
"Something happened to General Bai."
