The corners of Bailiheng's lips curled up slightly, but his body couldn't support it.
The smile reached Shi Qinghuan's eyes amid the bleak panic, and turned into desperate courage.
Over the corpse, over the blood flow, over everything, the moment Bailiheng fell, Shi Qinghuan flew towards him and caught him with his whole body.
Bailiheng was half kneeling on the ground, leaning on Shi Qinghuan's shoulder.
"Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to wait for me in Wenyuan?"
"I'm worried about you, don't talk yet, let me take a look first!"
The light and moonlight were dim, but Shi Qinghuan could still clearly see the scars all over his body, especially his shoulders, which were bleeding profusely, not to mention internal injuries.
The silver needle stopped the bleeding, and he quickly took the pills, which allowed Bailiheng to breathe smoothly.
Shi Qinghuan's fingertips were trembling a little, and Bailiheng watched carefully.
As soon as she pulled out the silver needle, her hand was held tightly by Baili Heng.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!"
There were blood marks on the corners of his lips and he was in a state of embarrassment, but he was still comforting her at this moment.
Shi Qinghuan's heart ached, and he could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes.
The moment the tears fell, Bailiheng frowned, his eyes filled with distress.
He reached out to touch her cheek, but was blocked by the blood on his hand. He took out a clean brocade handkerchief and wiped away her tears.
"It's really okay!"
"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave first!"
Shi Qinghuan said, struggling to lift Baili Gang and walked outside.
As soon as they walked not far away, Zhang Yue and Zhang Tong rushed in from outside, and behind them were more than a dozen masters, all wearing the uniforms of the mission.
"Sir, Dai Xishan is here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Xishan walked in from outside while they were surrounded.
He looked arrogant, but he was not surprised at all when he saw so many corpses.
Yes, he was nowhere to be seen when he was killing people, but he arrived in time just after the killing. It seems that Dai Xishan also had an ulterior motive.
Shi Qinghuan was thinking about it when Bailiheng pulled her behind him. After a look, Zhang Yue and Zhang Tong protected her on the left and right, and their figures were blocked, making it impossible to see clearly.
Dai Xishan looked at Hao Yong's body, and then looked at Bailiheng.
"Ah, Mr. Zuo Xiang, our General Hao Yong followed this king all the way to the capital of your country. I don't know where I offended you, sir, and ended up like this?"
"There is no reason, I just want to kill him!"
Without any cover-up, Bailiheng spoke frankly, and the chuckle on his face was even more fearless.
Dai Xishan was stunned, "Oh? General Hao Yong is also a member of the envoy. As the saying goes, when the two countries are at war, the envoys are not killed, but the left prime minister directly kills the people in my envoy. Is it possible that he wants to fight with me? Is it possible for Ye Guo to start a war?"
The atmosphere was tense, but Bailiheng leisurely wiped the blood on his hand with a brocade handkerchief and then threw it away.
"You are so exposed late at night, does Your Highness really want to stand here and talk to me about these irrelevant topics in official circles?"
The two looked at each other, and Dai Xishan smiled knowingly, turned around and raised his hand, pointing to the brightly lit hall not far away.
"please."
Bailiheng stepped forward, Shi Qinghuan followed, and just like that, the four of them entered Qingfeng Pavilion.
After Bailiheng sat down, he still quietly protected Shi Qinghuan behind him, and Shi Qinghuan also tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.
When Dai Xishan took his seat, Bailiheng poured out two cups of tea, handed one to Dai Xishan, and drank the other directly.
Then he leaned lazily on the chair and said, "Your Highness, I apologize, I'm a little hurt, so I'll keep the story short."
"Appreciate further details."
"Your Majesty, please personally propose to the Holy One the matter of renouncing the engagement."
"Why?"
"I just killed Hao Yong!"
"Oh, Master Zuo Xiang, could it be that he was injured and confused, and he killed my people, but he came to replace them with mine?"
"Hao Yong, is he really yours? If he was, you wouldn't have watched from the other side just now."
Bailiheng smiled lightly. Although he was dressed lightly, his aura was still cold and stern.
Seeing that Dai Xishan did not refute, Bailiheng continued, "Although Hao Yong entered our Kyoto city with you, he actually has another mission, and if this mission is completed, it must be for someone else. , when the time comes, there’s no telling who will be crowned the crown prince of your country.”
Dai Xishan looked at Bailiheng again.
He is just a leftist prime minister who has been a playboy since childhood. He is young because he just borrowed the influence of his ancestors. Now it seems that he has to get to know the person in front of him again.
"Then tell me, what can I get?"
"I can't guarantee that you will get the crown prince position you dream of, but I can guarantee that when you return to the country this time, you will not only severely injure the eldest prince, but also become the most praised person by the Holy Emperor of your country. In this kind of limelight, the most Rewards are the fastest way to leave the position of prince."
"It's quite exciting. Mr. Zuo Xiang, you might as well elaborate on it."
"As far as I know, Hao Yong has a private relationship with the eldest prince of your country, and no one knows about it. In this case, you can make great use of it. You are destined to fail to blow up the mine. In this case, it is It’s better to go with the flow.”
Dai Xishan is also a smart person, and he knows everything clearly.
"What you mean is that everything should be blamed on Hao Yong."
"Yes, there must be your country's spy network in Kyoto City. Our people can be responsible for passing the news back to your country that Hao Yong is a subordinate of the eldest prince of your country. And this time in Kyoto City, Hao Yong assassinated His Highness, okay. His Highness was lucky enough to be able to protect himself. Hao Yong died, which indirectly led to the exposure of the mine and failed to complete the mission."
"It's a good move to kill someone with a borrowed knife. This can not only absolve me of the responsibility for not completing the task, but also drag my brother into trouble."
Dai Xishan chuckled and looked at Bailiheng, "But again, if this is all I can get, I'm afraid it won't be enough."
"That's natural."
Bailiheng said, pouring out another cup of tea and drinking it slowly.
"Blow up the mines, it's better to cooperate and have both ends."
"Cooperation? Is it possible that your country is willing to give its minerals to our country?"
"Why not?"
Dai Xishan's expression darkened, "Are you telling the truth?"
As we all know, the uses of minerals are endless, whether it is wealth or weapons, they are of great use.
If outsiders listen to whether they are willing to export their minerals or give them to enemy countries, they will naturally think that Bailiheng is crazy.
But Bailiheng was calm and confident, and there was nothing wrong with his expression.
"Of course it's true. As long as His Highness is willing, the credit of bringing back the minerals will be enough to make His Highness the person most praised by the Holy One."
"What about the conditions?"
"It's not polite to come back without reciprocating, but our request is much simpler. We don't need anything valuable. We just need your country to pile up useless cloud saltpeter."
"Spirits?"
Dai Xishan was stunned, because to them, saltpeter was everywhere in the mountains and plains. Not only was it not a valuable thing, it could be said to be a waste.
Trade mines for waste.
No matter how you think about it, it feels like a scam.
Seeing what Dai Xishan was thinking, Bailiheng explained, "Your Highness, you don't have to think too much. For you, cloud saltpeter is useless, but for our court, it is a good thing."
"I'd love to hear it."
"The terrain of our country has a lot of water and few mountains, and the rocks are mostly gravel. Cloudite is famously hard and large. If our country is used to build city walls, the defense will naturally be much stronger."
"Oh, the Prime Minister really doesn't treat me as an outsider. He is so secretive and yet so outspoken?"
"Your Highness is joking. Since we are cooperating, we must be honest."
"Then my lord is not afraid, so I refuse to cooperate with you?"
