Ling Xiyu was obviously startled, "What do you mean?"
Lin Bai glanced at her, "Don't understand?"
If the majestic King of Dali Zhenbei said that he was not prepared at all for today's situation, the talented man would not believe it.
If you can sit in this position, you will definitely be prepared for such a day.
This is of the same nature as the Night King. He is of royal blood and has such a great influence in the military. Who can ignore such an existence? Not to mention the Prince of Dali, His Majesty Dali, although he has always shown enough trust, is he really not worried at all?
nonexistent!
Emperors have had this problem since ancient times. The reason why the Night King can be so tyrannical is because he has no heirs.
So Lao Zhu can let it go and trust him completely.
But Duan Zhenglong is different. He has an heir, and Duan Weifeng is well-known in the southwest and has outstanding abilities. In this case, can Emperor Dali really rest assured?
It is not surprising that the Prince of Dali is eager to deal with Duan Zhenglong.
Duan Zhenglong has been in the officialdom for so many years, it is impossible that he has no awareness of this aspect, so...
Ling Xiyu said: "You mean, my husband has expected all this?"
Lin Bai said: "That's natural."
"Not only that, he also knows that there is no solution to the situation at hand, and there are only two ways before you."
Ling Xiyu asked anxiously: "Which two?"
"No. 1, wait!"
"wait?"
"good!"
Lin Bai said, "His Majesty Dali has not touched Duan Zhenglong yet. He has only circulated some news about his collaboration with the enemy and treason. This is a test to test the reaction of the army and yours so as to determine what to do next. This It’s His Majesty Dali who will wait.”
"Duan Zhenglong is also waiting for His Majesty's final decision to determine what to do."
Ling Xiyu looked at Lin Bai with deep eyes and asked in disbelief, "What will be the result if we wait like this?"
Lin Bai smiled and said, "Isn't it obvious?"
"The Prince of Dali has successively married Dali Wanxiang to consolidate his position and establish his prestige. When he ascends the throne, Duan Zhenglong will be the stepping stone for him to reach the highest peak of power."
Ling Xiyu's face turned pale, and she naturally knew what this meant.
This is to kill her husband to establish his authority.
"What about the second way?"
Lin Bai said: "The second rule is much simpler, rebel!"
Lin Bai continued: "Both you and I know that this is an attempted crime. Dali can no longer tolerate Duan Zhenglong. He has only two options, either to die or to rebel."
"Choose to die, just like now, without doing anything."
"And if he chooses to live, he can only rebel. That's why I said that I will try my best to save him, but whether he is willing to rebel or not is not something I can decide."
Ling Xiyu looked straight at Lin Bai, "You mean, my husband chose to die?"
The reason why she asked this was naturally because Duan Zhenglong didn't make any move.
Lin Bai shook his head and said: "It's not sure yet. If he chooses to die, he should try his best to arrange a way for you to survive. Or maybe he thinks that His Majesty Dali still trusts him and will not kill him. At most, he will be dismissed. I don't want you to be too radical." reaction, which made things worse."
"It's also possible that he himself is very confused and wants you to decide."
Ling Xiyu's eyes were very surprised, "Did you infer these based on the situation in front of you?"
Lin Bai asked back: "Otherwise?"
Ling Xiyu didn't say anything, and then said after a while: "My husband will not rebel. My husband's mother-in-law passed away when my husband was very young. My husband was often bullied by other princes when he was a child. Even some eunuchs and maids did not take him seriously. It was the Queen Mother who looked down on him." It's pitiful that you take him into your lap and regard him as your own."
"Later, my husband gradually emerged and became the most favorable candidate for the crown prince. However, he voluntarily gave up and gave it to the current majesty..."
Lin Bai sighed: "If this is the case, then no one can save him."
"However, since he didn't say anything, it means that he is very entangled, at least about your future. He is naturally unwilling to let you die with him, but if you let you rebel, there is no difference between dying without his participation. .”
Ling Xiyu said: "If it is to protect us, the emperor has already said that as long as the Tiger and Wolf Army is handed over, Wei Feng and Rongrong will be protected."
Lin Bai shook his head and smiled, "Do you really believe it?"
"Or maybe your imperial brother didn't lie to you, but the Prince of Dali agreed? Maybe you and Duan Rongrong are fine, but Duan Weifeng, do you think the Prince of Dali will give him a way to survive?"
"If it were that simple, Duan Zhenglong might have done it long ago."
Ling Xiyu said nothing, and her expression became darker and darker. In fact, she had suspected it for a long time, but now that she heard this, she was even more convinced.
Lin Bai had no intention of hurting her, and said: "Don't be too pessimistic. Let's talk about it when we get to Dali! Maybe Duan Zhenglong has other arrangements."
A few days later, we finally entered Dali.
Fortunately, there was no ambush along the way, probably because the marriage between the Three Kingdoms had been reached, and it was meaningless for Ling Xiyu to ask for help, so there was no need for any more ambush.
However, Zhuiyue and his group became more and more nervous.
Because after entering Dali, once my uncle is exposed, it will definitely be a big deal, so...
Lin Bai looked indifferent, looked at Xiao Nizi and said: "Don't be nervous, there is a saying that often the most dangerous place is the safest place. Who would have thought that my uncle would dare to come to Dali?" ,right?"
Xiao Nizi nodded and shook her head, it seemed to make sense, but she couldn't relax.
have to!
Lin Bai had no choice but to take action and tortured Xiao Nizi for a long time before she relaxed a little.
"Young Master, there is news about the departure team."
On this day, Li Qinghe came to report.
Hearing this, Lin Bai quickly asked: "How?"
Li Qinghe replied: "The princess who is marrying away from the Chao Dynasty is the seventh princess Zhu Ziyan, and the messenger is the third prince Zhu Tai. The team has already passed Jingzhou..."
Where is Jingzhou?
The great scholar was not familiar with Li Chao, let alone Dali, and immediately asked: "Can you get in front of them and block them before they enter the capital of Dali?"
Li Qinghe's expression froze, but he quickly replied: "Young Master, it's impossible for us and the escorting team to be in two different directions. Moreover, we have to lag behind the bride-offering team."
Lin Bai frowned. He had originally planned to intercept Xiao Qi in advance and then lead his men to flee.
Once you get to the southwest, you won’t be afraid anymore.
Now it seems impossible, and the only option is to venture into the capital of Dali.
"OK!"
He immediately stopped talking nonsense and "hurried to the capital of Dali with all his strength."
Even if Xiao Qi cannot be intercepted in advance, he must arrive as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.
"yes!"
Li Qinghe immediately ordered the convoy to speed up its journey.
Lin Bai glanced at Zhuiyue who looked worried beside him, and gave her a calming look, "Don't worry, it's definitely fine."
He seemed to be cheering up Chai Yue, and also like he was cheering up himself.
