Shi Qinghuan was really speechless, "Is this person always so rampant wherever he goes?"
Never wait for someone to pass it on.
Bailiheng looked at Shi Qinghuan, who was dressed in women's clothing, and said, "Take the secret passage."
"No, it's too late!"
After Zhang Tong finished speaking, Bailiheng no longer hesitated, stretched out his hand and took Shi Qinghuan's wrist, all the way down the tower and straight to his bedroom.
After entering the bedroom, he pulled Shi Qinghuan into the previous secret room.
Seeing Bailiheng himself coming in, Shi Qinghuan was stunned, "What are you doing here?"
"If I don't come in and His Highness the Fifth sees me, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave until tomorrow. Do you want to stay here for the night?"
After thinking about the spiritual position inside, Shi Qinghuan shook his head.
Bailiheng looked at Zhang Tong outside, "Just tell His Highness the Fifth Prince that I went out to relax and I don't know where I went. He won't be able to stay long if I'm not here. When he leaves, you can call me again."
"yes!"
Zhang Tong turned around and left, and Bailiheng pressed the switch. The door of the secret room was closed, cutting off all sounds outside, and it became quiet again instantly.
In the dimness, Shi Qinghuan couldn't see Bailiheng's expression clearly, but his heart was beating a little hard.
Bailiheng turned around and walked inside, "Come here."
"I..."
Before Shi Qinghuan could speak, Bailiheng continued, "I know you've seen it before, so it doesn't matter."
Sure enough, he didn't believe her last time.
Shi Qinghuan had no choice but to follow.
Bailiheng didn't have any taboos at all, he just lit up the incense in front of her.
Seeing this, Shi Qinghuan also stepped forward, picked up three sticks of incense, worshiped, and lit them together with Bailiheng.
Bailiheng looked back at Shi Qinghuan, a little surprised.
Before he could speak, Shi Qinghuan smiled and explained, "Since he is the person you worship, he must be respected."
Bailiheng's eyes were moved and he looked at the wordless spiritual tablet, "Don't you ask whose spiritual tablet this is?"
"If it can be taught to humans, it will not be wordless. Since it is wordless, it has its own reason."
Shi Qinghuan has no habit of prying into secrets, and he also trusts Bailiheng.
"come over."
Bailiheng reached out and took off his cloak, spreading it on the ground. After pulling Shi Qinghuan to sit down, he sat on the ground on one side.
Then he looked at the spiritual tablet and said, "They are indeed people worthy of worship."
them!
Shi Qinghuan heard the key points, but still remained silent.
Just looking at Bailiheng's figure, his brows furrowed slightly.
At this moment, when Bailiheng looked at the spiritual throne, his whole body was filled with unbreakable sadness.
Dejection, guilt, and seemingly hatred...
Countless emotions were in his eyes, and Shi Qinghuan was so complicated that he couldn't understand them.
But the sadness hit her heart directly.
It was a familiar feeling.
She had also experienced such grief due to the death of everyone in the Duke Protector's palace.
"The dead are like this, and the living should also look forward."
When he said this, Shi Qinghuan felt a little weak in his heart.
Because she still hasn't been able to let it go.
Bailiheng looked over, and after looking at each other, Shi Qinghuan shrugged helplessly, "Okay, I know this is what an outsider should say to explain to you."
"Then what would you do if it were you?"
"Revenge when there is a grudge, and revenge when there is a grudge."
Simple and neat, that's exactly what she is doing now.
Seeing her appearance, Bailiheng smiled instantly, and was a little cheerful.
Shi Qinghuan was stunned, "Am I wrong?"
"Yes, that's right. It's just that the way you looked just now looked a lot like an old friend of mine."
Old friend!
Shi Qinghuan couldn't help but look at the spiritual tablet. Is that old friend among them?
The atmosphere was a little stagnant, and the silent chamber looked even sadder.
For a long time, Bailiheng leaned against the wall and looked ahead. Through the candlelight, he seemed to see a place far away.
"Do you know Beiyue City?"
"You know, the northern border of our Tiansheng Kingdom is also where the God of War Beiyao is stationed."
"What do you think of Beiyao?"
She remembered that Bailiheng seemed to have asked her this question before.
Who is Beiyao that he cares so much?
"Beiyao is a very complicated person."
Shi Qinghuan blurted out, "He is loyal and chivalrous, but his loyalty is not just to the Holy One, but to the people. He focuses on protecting the people and has no intention of power. He is a true hero."
This is true.
Shi Qinghuan had met Beiyao. Although it was just a short three-way encounter, she could see and admire Beiyao's character.
"Is he that good?"
"Um."
Shi Qinghuan nodded and glanced sideways to see the flowing light in Bailiheng's eyes.
It was the feeling of suddenly meeting an intimate person after a long period of silence.
Shi Qinghuan was stunned, but the first thing that came to his mind was the flaw in his words.
"Of course, these are all what my father told me back then. Unfortunately, I have never seen them. Does your Excellency think so too?"
Bailiheng smiled lightly and lowered his expression. Shi Qinghuan couldn't tell what he was thinking, but he was silent for a moment before he sighed.
"He is insignificant. What should be remembered are the heroic souls on all borders. Today's prosperity and peace are everywhere protected by their lives and blood."
Listening to these words, Shi Qinghuan was deeply touched.
Her Shi family is also a family of generals, guarding the border for generations.
There are countless heroic souls.
But the most ridiculous thing is that the enemy country has survived countless crises one by one, only to die in the hands of its own people.
The same goes for Beiyao's army.
Therefore, the most terrifying thing in this world is, after all, the human heart under the influence of interests and power.
"What do you think of the situation in the border town?"
Bailiheng's topic was a little distant, so Shi Qinghuan was not surprised and instead expressed his own opinion.
"There used to be Beiyao's army in the north and my Shi family's army in the south, but they were all scattered one after another. In ten years, the border town is no longer as stable as it once was. There are frequent turmoils. I'm afraid there will be a big disaster soon."
"Yes, things are better over there in the south. Xiaoye Kingdom, which is adjacent to the north, is watching with eager eyes. There have been several turmoils and they have been testing."
At this point, Shi Qinghuan frowned, "Are there any brave generals in the court today?"
Bailiheng sighed and shook his head helplessly, "In ten years, there has not been a second Protectorate."
Shi Qinghuan looked downcast, "There is no second Beiyao army."
The light shrouded the two people, and the light and shadow flickered, just like this situation, the ups and downs were uncertain, and the way forward was unclear.
The night was silent, and after the palace banquet, Cheng Yangfeng walked out of the palace gate and returned directly to Prince Feng's Mansion.
"Is there any movement over there in Wenyuan?"
"No, a carriage went out to the Prime Minister's Mansion this afternoon. It should be to celebrate the New Year with Bailiheng."
"Where is the prime minister's house?"
"The Prime Minister's Mansion was quite lively, and there were even fireworks."
"Come on Su Zhou, he is very happy!"
"By the way, His Highness the Fifth Prince left the palace in the middle of the dinner and also went to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Cheng Yangfeng couldn't help but darken his expression.
"Lao Wu has never been involved in party disputes, and he is also on good terms with Bailiheng. It is not unusual for him to interact with him, but recently, it seems that he has been too frequent. To be precise, it is with Su Zhou."
His fingertips tapped on the table. What's the secret of Su Zhou?
After thinking about it, Bailiheng couldn't help but sigh, "Forget it, let's ignore them for now. Sun Meng and Zhao Shu were killed one after another. It's obvious that they came for me. Since they made a move, it's time for us to fight back!"
"What does the prince want to do?"
Cheng Yangfeng turned his head and looked at the fireworks outside the house, the corners of his lips curling up slightly.
"Since he has removed people from my household department, he can no longer have people from his military department. That person from the military department who joined the army seems to be very respected by Bailiheng!"
Jiang Qing understood instantly, "I will do it now!"
