Regardless of the reason for Yifeng's visit to Beijing this time, there should not have been a dispute on the street, let alone two people who had high positions and attracted countless attention.
Bai Minglei straightened his clothes and said, "I'll go down and give you some advice."
Bai Mingsong did not stop, and Bai Minghui also did not speak again. Bai Mingzhi knew that someone should appear at this time to resolve the siege without hurting the face of either party.
Bai Minglei stood up and was about to get off the carriage, but suddenly he saw Bai Minghui's eyes that were originally focused outside suddenly froze.
Bai Minglei looked out subconsciously. Outside, Pang Yang pulled the horse rope with one hand to make the horse retreat, and exited the center of the dispute.
Bai Minglei frowned.
Sure enough, as Pang Yang retreated, Zang Qi's expression became even more provocative, and he even stepped forward to continue causing trouble.
Gingo's cold eyes locked Zang Qi's steps.
Zang Qi, who originally thought that Pang Yang was afraid of retreating and was proud of himself, did not take a step forward under Bai Guo's gaze.
Those eyes were familiar to him.
These eyes once fell on him like this, but then...
After that, those eyes never appeared again.
Three years ago, she taught him with two slaps that the strong are respected. He learned it in three years. Now when they met again, he thought that everything would be different, but these eyes made it seem that nothing had changed.
He was still trapped in that cage, waiting helplessly, waiting for her sudden charity, waiting for her pity for the weak.
And her calculations.
"Let's go." Bai Guo's voice was very heavy, as if another slap had hit him in the face three years ago.
Zang Qi looked at Ginkgo in the car fiercely.
Her voice is the same as before, and her tone is the same as before, but it's clearly not the same as before!
"Princess Kangle!" This voice was spoken by Yifeng.
Yifeng's words were full of anger, and his normal tone would give people the feeling of a quarrel. However, the ferocity with which he spoke at this time made many people on the street subconsciously take a few steps back, not daring to look around and provoke him.
But the person in the carriage just calmly withdrew his eyes and never gave him the specialness he got back then.
For some reason, Zang Qi subconsciously looked at the man on horseback following the carriage who was no longer accepting his provocation.
He forgot.
Yifeng's shame still lies with this man. Unless he dies, there will be no strong person in Yifeng.
The icing on the candied haws was still bright. Zang Qi took a look and bit into one, spat out the icing, chewed up the whole hawthorn and swallowed it.
Bai Minghong and Bai Mingshao were already waiting at the gate of Bai Mansion. They were excited when they saw Bai Guo's carriage approaching.
But when the carriage stopped, the person they were worried about turned out to be a candied haws licked off with one hand on each hand, leaving a bright red circle on the corner of his mouth like a cat drinking milk.
Compared with their worries and tensions, how did Bai Minglei look like he had come out of that big battle? !
The expressions of Bai Minghong and Bai Mingshao both changed, but the old lady behind her could bear it with her eyes, and saluted and called, "Grandma."
The old lady looked a little tired and nodded. She glanced left and right and asked, "Where is Yutang?"
The look on Bai Minghong's face became solemn, and the old lady's eyebrows frowned. Just when she was about to ask, Bai Guo lowered her voice and said, "Enter the palace. The emperor has been in low spirits these days. The entire hospital is now guarding On."
The fatigue in the old lady's brows has subsided a little, "The prince's influence has not gone away yet?"
"How could it be so fast?" Bai Guo's eyes were filled with a coldness that he couldn't even notice, but his words were the opposite, "The emperor's ability to go to court now is the result of the efforts of all the ministers in the court."
The old lady glanced at Bai Guo without retorting, then looked at Bai Minghong, "What did you want to say just now?"
Bai Minghong felt that many eyes were on him for a moment, and each look seemed to materialize.
"there is nothing."
This statement was so serious that Bai Minghong himself did not expect, "Grandma has worked hard along the way. My grandson asked the kitchen to make bird's nests."
But as soon as the last two words came out, Bai Minghong felt that the old lady's expression had changed inexplicably.
"The emperor asked the third lady to enter the palace when Pang Yang left the palace. Can the third lady go now?" Pang Yang's voice sounded suddenly, but it was so calm that no one could feel any anger.
Bai Guo's eyebrows that were frowning subconsciously looked at Pang Yang who was speaking seriously at this time and smiled.
"Zhenzhen, hurry up and come to the palace. Maybe the matter in Fengzhou has come out." The old lady took over the words, and Bai Guo nodded and led Pang Yang out of the mansion.
But there was no carriage or horses ready outside the door. They had nowhere to go and no way to go home, so they walked side by side on the road, and no one mentioned entering the palace again.
"It's been a long time since I walked with Brother Pang Yang." Bai Guo's steps were slow and leisurely as never before in other times, and the winter sunshine gave him an illusion of stability.
Her grandmother and mother have returned from Fengzhou, and it will only be a matter of time before her second uncle returns to Beijing. It is okay for her father to be taken care of in the palace. Her grandfather has been busy recently but has not been implicated. Even the old and young in the family can See the glorious road ahead.
Everything was better than she imagined.
It was something she never dared to ask for in her previous life.
Pang Yang followed beside him, maintaining a suitable distance without changing. When he heard Bai Guo's words, there was a smile in his eyes, "Well, it's been a long time."
It wasn't the right time to say anything on the street, but Pang Yang's few words were completely different from his previous tone.
Bai Guo looked back at the smiling Pang Yang, watching his gentle eyes fall on her body, watching him show a look he had never shown in front of others.
At this moment, Bai Guo felt that it was not just this stability that was in a trance, but she also saw her daily life more than ten years later.
At that time, it would be great if everything was harmonious.
After coming back to his senses, Bai Guo knew that he had been stupid again. He couldn't help but smile back at Pang Yang when he couldn't help laughing at himself.
Sometimes there is no need to say anything more because it has already been said.
But this moment of solitude was both unexpected and cherished for the two of them.
Ging Guo's already slow pace became even slower, and Pang Yang still followed at the same distance. They passed through the crowds of people coming and going, leaving footprints in the ordinary.
Everyone around them saw Ging Guo and Pang Yang saluting, and then looked at the two people with admiration after they passed by.
They are all outstanding people, and they are symbols of the stability of the Zhou Dynasty.
The storyteller in the teahouse they passed by was still talking passionately: "Last time, it was said that there was constant wind and snow along the way. Princess Kangle and General Chizhong traveled thousands of miles and endured the frost day and night to enter Shangshuangzhou. The first thing I said at that time was to ask, 'Where is the county magistrate?'! ... Today we will continue to talk about how Princess Kangle and General Chizhong entered the city to defend the city after that night as bright as day in Wancai City! And General Chizhong led the A feat of less than a few thousand soldiers and horses defending the city for six days when there was no food, no reinforcements, and no news!"
The ups and downs of the voice brought countless people into the scene at that time and experienced countless chaotic battlefields.
The audience below, which was packed with seats and standing, listened with excitement and made loud noises from time to time.
Even when Ging Guo walked far away, he could still hear the storyteller's words: "When there was no food in the city, he would eat snow to quell his hunger. In order to prevent himself from falling asleep, he would stand in the snow to wake up at night, and count the number of nights in a row." Thousands of soldiers finally couldn't hold on and entered the house, but only one person stood in the snow for five days and five nights...'
"What was Brother Pang Yang thinking about during those five days?" Bai Guo looked at the hazy sunlight in front of him, looking at it as if it was about to follow in the footsteps of those nine days.
Pang Yang followed Bai Guo and looked ahead, saying, "I don't dare to think about anything."
I didn't dare to think about Ging Guo, I was afraid that he would be distracted and stay in the snow forever. I didn't dare to think about the time when the army and food and grass would arrive. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hold on. I didn't dare to think about whether I would still be alive to see the world. When I arrived at Gingguo, I didn’t even dare to think about how long I could live.
In those five days, he allowed thousands of surviving soldiers to survive, and he also survived five days later.
He could still protect her in this world.
This is enough.
What you have experienced and what you have encountered is no longer important.
"I met General Lin Huan the night Brother Pang Yang returned to Beijing." Bai Guo's words made Pang Yang pause for a moment. He thought about it carefully and then looked at Bai Guo as if to confirm whether Bai Guo's words were true.
"Brother Pang Yang should have entered the house at that time."
This sound completely stunned Pang Yang.
That night, he sat on the roof and did not enter the house until dawn. He was afraid that the palace maids and eunuchs would notice him and cause other things.
"I heard my grandmother say a lot, and I also thought a lot. I played several games of chess in one night, but none of them had a chance of winning." Bai Guo said, "Including the person who is standing in your perspective is me."
The ginkgo game was played for a long time that day. One chess piece fell one by one, and each person counted the pieces. In the end, he also landed on the chessboard.
But in the early morning, she sent people into the palace to invite Lin Huan out. She asked about the events of those five days, and finally what had not been decided in several games of chess was decided in Lin Huan's words.
Pang Yang's Adam's apple rolled, and he suppressed the tremors with calmness, "Pang Yang was not as bad as what was said outside in those five days..."
"General Lin Huan said that he entered the third city on the second day."
When they arrived at the third city on the second day, Lin Huan saw the real presence of troops and supplies behind him, which gave him confidence and the strength to dare to continue moving forward. However, for Pang Yang and others who could not see the reinforcements, they were tired and could survive in the snow. It's a huge amount of pressure.
Every step those people took stepped on their hearts, casting a shadow over their already desperate eyes.
"General Lin Huan said that what was reported outside was less than one percent of what he saw at the time. After hearing this, I was thinking, what kind of thing can make a man who has experienced decades on the battlefield and experienced the Tsar Letting his wife and children stay in the palace as hostages will leave such a deep impression."
That morning, she sat in the front room for a long time to recover.
The words that calmed her down were painful to hear.
"He also said that he fought with you late at night on the fourth day." Bai Guo's voice paused slightly, then continued, "You fell down seven times and injured him twice."
'He fell down seven times and pierced me twice with the spear in his hand, but do you know how many times he got under my horse? '
'Twelve times! '
'The soldiers under my general were trained by me personally, and the cronies around me have followed many battles. Do you know what these twelve times mean? ! '
