Bailiheng raised his head, leaned against the stone wall on one side, and then said slowly, "You are right, the owner of this wordless tablet is indeed Beiyao's army. When he was young, he went to the north with his father. I spent some time with them. Although the time was short, it was deeply rooted in my heart. All of them are the ones I respect the most in my life."
"Just because of that?"
"if not?"
Shi Qinghuan stared at Bailiheng's expression closely, but did not see anything amiss.
Shi Qinghuan couldn't help but smile secretly.
Yes, there are not so many rebirths in this world.
If it were true, everyone would have new and old grudges, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
Shi Qinghuan shook his head, "It's nothing. I just thought that when you told me about the Silan Mountain Massacre and Beiyao's army before, it turned out to be out of respect from the bottom of your heart. No wonder you had such a big reaction when you saw Hao Yong today."
The murderer of all the people he respected was standing in front of him, how could he not be angry.
but...
"Who's in the carriage after that?"
The person who could make Bailiheng completely panic was definitely not an ordinary person.
Sure enough, at the mention of the people in the carriage, Bailiheng's breath dropped again, his fists were clenched, and there was endless grief in his eyes.
Seeing this, an idea emerged in Shi Qinghuan's heart.
"Hao Yong said he was a traitor to our dynasty, but judging from your appearance, he is not. So, he is a survivor of Beiyao's army?"
Hitting the mark, Bailiheng closed his eyes and sighed, "He is Beiyao's deputy general Wang Dong. He is Beiyao's most capable assistant and his good brother. He has never betrayed him through life and death."
"It must be that after the battle at Silan Mountain, Hao Yong wanted to get more information about the border, so he captured the survivors. But now he has brought General Wang back to the court as a gift. He must have never Ask for something.”
Shi Qinghuan saw the injuries on Wang Dong's body with his own eyes. He was completely disabled, with only one breath left.
Shi Qinghuan didn't dare to think about what he had gone through in ten years.
Bailiheng's whole body was trembling, and he naturally thought of what Shi Qinghuan was thinking.
Killing intent gradually appeared on his body, "They harmed Beiyao's army, not only tortured him, but now they want to slander his reputation..."
Bailiheng's voice was trembling, and his whole body was on the verge of collapse.
Shi Qinghuan looked at him with emotion and distress in his eyes.
"Then do it!"
As soon as these words came out, Bailiheng's eyes opened instantly, and they were all surprised under the blood color.
Shi Qinghuan looked at him, smiling softly, but his eyes were extremely firm.
"Whether it's saving people or killing people, do whatever you want to do, I'll help you."
At this moment, the candlelight illuminated the side of Shi Qinghuan's face, and the whole thing shone brightly in Bailiheng's eyes.
In front of the wordless monument is his helplessness and grief, but also her firmness and support.
Bailiheng's expression was flowing and changing endlessly.
In the end, he couldn't suppress his inner impulse, and he stretched out his hand to pull Shi Qinghuan into his arms.
Shi Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, but feeling his grief and trembling, he didn't move and even reached out to hug his waist.
Her hand gently stroked his back, comforting him delicately.
His arms gradually tightened, as if they were trying to embed Shi Qinghuan into his body.
His fingers ran through her hair, which was cold and soft, making the redness in his eyes gradually dissipate.
The warmth in his arms made him slowly settle down, and he gradually calmed down.
Shi Qinghuan just let him hold her. After a long time, Bailiheng let her go.
He helped her stand up and when he looked at her, Bailiheng had returned to his previous appearance.
Reserved and deep.
Shi Qinghuan knew that he had cheered up.
"How to do?"
"follow me!"
Bailiheng turned around, but did not walk out of the secret room. Instead, he walked to the other side of the secret room, pressed the mechanism, and the stone door opened again.
There is actually another secret room connected to the secret room.
Shi Qinghuan never discovered this.
There are a lot of things in this secret room, full of all kinds of information.
Bailiheng walked to one side and took out the file and handed it to Shi Qinghuan, "This contains information about important figures in Xiaoye Kingdom. Hao Yong and Dai Xishan are both here."
Shi Qinghuan looked at it and suddenly discovered that Hao Yong was good at making gunpowder. He suddenly remembered something, "When Hao Yong passed by me today, I smelled a smell, but I was delayed by Wang Dong's affairs and forgot about it. ”
"What smell?"
"Saltpeter has been touched recently and has been washed many times. My sense of smell is more sensitive than ordinary people, so I smelled it."
"Saltpeter, gunpowder?"
Bailiheng's expression darkened, "Hao Yong is good at making gunpowder, but now he comes quietly and there is gunpowder. What are they going to do?"
"I can't figure it out. After all, they are here from Jianbang, and they are also in Kyoto. They are not going to blow up Kyoto!"
"No matter what, we have to find out where the gunpowder is first. By the way, have Hao Yong's whereabouts been found?"
"Not yet, have to wait."
"Although Hao Yong is a military general, he is rarely a careful person. He deliberately conceals his whereabouts, so it is indeed difficult to trace them. But fortunately, when they enter Kyoto City, people from all sides will be watching. Even if they want to do something, they will not be able to trace it. so easy."
Shi Qinghuan nodded, then looked at Bailiheng with some worry, but hesitated to speak.
Bailiheng saw it and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. It doesn't matter."
"General Wang, if you don't get treatment, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive."
Bailiheng's expression was gloomy, but he seemed to have everything under control. "After the palace banquet tomorrow, the mission will be handed over. At that time, Wang Dong will also join the Supervision Department."
"Okay, I'll go rescue him then."
"No, with his status, he can't live, he can only die!"
Seeing Bailiheng's determined look, Shi Qinghuan understood, "Okay, then we'll let him die once."
The golden cicada's escape from its shell is his real way to survive.
"I will arrange this matter, but the Holy Father has ordered you to attend tomorrow's palace banquet. There are many people, so be careful."
"Don't worry, I will pay more attention. However, why did the Holy One require me to participate in the mission?"
"Xiaoye Kingdom has always valued martial arts over literature, so that literature has been left in the dust, with no great masters. Therefore, we admire and respect the famous and talented people in Tiansheng, and the Su family is among them."
"But what does this have to do with me?"
"You are the son of the Su family, and there are many civil servants in the mission."
Shi Qinghuan understood, "They are using me to gather information."
"That's the intention, but you don't have to worry about it. The people in the mission are all deep-minded. How can they reveal their secrets based on admiration alone? Just say hello and go through the motions. After all, there is holy intention. As for the rest, Leave it all to me.”
"I see!"
Bailiheng was worried about her, and she knew the right balance, and she knew how to grasp it.
The matter was almost explained, and the night was getting dark, so Bailiheng couldn't say anything more.
"The night is getting dark. Let Zhang Yue take you back to rest first."
"good."
Shi Qinghuan was still thinking about how to deal with the envoy, so he turned around and left.
Just as he reached the door, Bailiheng's voice sounded again behind him.
"Thank you."
Shi Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Bailiheng smiling softly.
He was obviously smiling, but there was a lingering coldness and sadness around him.
Shi Qinghuan felt panicked in his heart.
But there was no way, there were some things that she couldn't change.
He turned to Baili Heng and smiled brightly, "No need to thank me, I want to thank you more."
This smile was so bright and bright that Bailiheng's eyes felt warm.
Looking at Shi Qinghuan's leaving figure, his expression gradually darkened again.
When everything is over, I will definitely... be honest with you.
