From the beginning to the end, the emperor had no intention of applying Jun Wu's joking words to him, and he had no intention of fulfilling his promise from the beginning to the end.
You can't feel anything around you, you can only feel the person in front of you.
The countless thoughts that surfaced made her want to hug the person in front of her as she once did, and express her thoughts as she once did.
"But why did Miss Third...just leave?"
Pang Yang's voice was so deep that it made Bai Guo sad.
She left because she didn't know how to face it.
"Pang Yang said that I would intercede with the emperor and Lord Bai, and the third lady agreed..."
"Why are you leaving?"
Why leave.
Ging Guo couldn't answer.
"Has Pang Yang influenced the third lady to do anything?"
No.
Pang Yang's current position in the court has already surpassed hers.
"Does Miss Third think she will affect me?"
Bai Guo seemed to have found his voice just now, "The new emperor has just ascended the throne. If I are with Brother Pang Yang at this time, it will be even more difficult for him to gather power..."
"Ha..." Pang Yang said with rare sarcasm, "If I don't stay with Miss Third, can he gather all his power?"
Won't.
After the emperor ascended the throne, it took him half his life to really use the power for himself. The new emperor had the emperor's protection, but the people left behind by the emperor were also a threat to the new emperor.
The person these people wanted to assist was the direct descendant of the middle palace back then. The new emperor also knew about this, so it was destined that the new emperor would have to walk this road for many years.
"But I don't want to be suspected by the courtiers, and I don't want them to think that I want this position." Bai Guo said in a tired voice, "I don't like it even if it's just speculation. I just want to be Bai Supervisor of the Zhou Kingdom and do... the emperor's happiness. A princess, not a powerful official with ulterior motives."
The reason for her glory and glory in her life was because of the emperor, and now she is the new emperor.
Regret has appeared countless times over the years, and Ging Guo has accepted it at this time.
She was still young, but the throne had been changed.
That's the truth.
"Is the third lady ready to give up on Pang Yang?" Pang Yang slowly opened his eyes and let go of the hand covering Ginguo's eyes, so that at this moment Ginguo's expression was all in front of him.
"No."
Not dodging, not avoiding, a very clear word.
Bai Guo answered Pang Yang seriously, "I'm waiting for Brother Pang Yang's choice."
Outside the palace that day, an imperial edict made Pang Yang a joke in Kyoto.
And she allowed this to happen.
Her grandmother once gave Pang Yang a choice when they first communicated with each other.
But now is the time to break her promise and betrayal.
If he doesn't forgive, their relationship will stop here, and they will only say 'Brother Pang Yang' or 'Miss Third' when they meet again.
If you forgive...
"Brother Pang Yang asked me that day whether I knew anything in advance. I don't know, but could Brother Pang Yang control his emotions at that time? All the civil and military officials in the court were there, and the emperor had just passed away. Brother Pang Yang knew that he was being teased. Can you still question me?"
What happened next was that Pang Yang went to the front line alone.
Later, Bai Guo always thought that Pang Yang was angry and stopped contacting her, but she didn't know...
"The frontline was too busy at that time. When I got the news that the old lady was in trouble, when I rushed back, I saw the back of the third lady leaving."
"Pang Yang thought..."
Bai Guo was too familiar with him. After realizing it was him, he ran away so quickly. He always thought that Bai Guo didn't want to see him.
But at that time, he still had expectations in his heart, so he actually returned to Bai's house that day, but he left only after Bai Guo still didn't call him at such a close distance.
He has been on the front line for several months since then, and it wasn't until today that he realized something was wrong.
"...If anything happens in the future, please tell Pang Yang, okay?"
Pang Yang held Bai Guo's hand in his palm, "Pang Yang has always wanted to go to the end with Third Miss. He has never changed his mind. Third Miss..."
Pang Yang's eyes were full of something, "I won't leave Pang Yang either."
The last sentence was full of lack of confidence, which was the response Bai Guo did not give.
"Well, I won't leave Brother Pang Yang." Just like the first time, Bai Guo held Pang Yang's hand and intertwined his fingers, "I want to be with Pang Yang."
The first sentence is a vow, and the latter sentence is a statement of intention.
"It won't happen again."
Bai Guo has always felt that as long as there are benefits, many things can be ignored.
But when it comes to being with Pang Yang, Bai Guo has never considered interests. Even when Pang Yang asked her if she knew, she had a thought... that the relationship between them could no longer be what it was before.
The temperature in his hands that was different from his own made Ging Guo feel at ease, but Ging Guo would not forget the environment he was in now.
"Who sent the letter to me?"
Pang Yang's fingertips touched Ginguo's hair along the end of her eyes, "Do you know Botu?"
"do not know."
Ging Guo replied firmly.
"He is the one who came here to deliver food today."
Bai Guo was stunned for a moment, "Is he hiding in the military camp?"
Pang Yang shook his head, "Knocked out the original cook and pretended to be a cook within half an hour, and then left quickly."
Bai Guo was confused: "You took such a big risk just to deceive me and capture me alive?"
Bai Guo found it difficult to understand, "Am I stupid?"
Will you step into it again when you did it last time?
Maybe it was because Bai Guo's expression of confusion was so rare at this time. Pang Yang looked at it for a long time before reluctantly letting go of Bai Guo's hand amid the footsteps outside. At the same time, the deputy general's question sounded outside the house: " Commander Pang, the number of casualties has been counted, and the Xuanjia Army is ready."
Bai Guo raised his head and looked at Pang Yang who was standing up, "Are we going to fight again?"
Pang Yang nodded, "All the soldiers and generals of Hongliang Kingdom were injured. If Botu doesn't want the city gate behind to open, he has no choice but to show up."
Bai Guo tilted his head slightly, "What if he is in the city?"
Pang Yang watched Bai Guo answer seriously, "He will not approach the third lady again."
When Li Cheng came back, most of the chess pieces on the Ginkgo chessboard had been recovered. Li Cheng looked at it for a while and said in confusion: "Why is it so messy?"
Then he looked at the dishes and chopsticks that Tu Ji had put away in confusion, "Who made this?"
What happened today is no joke.
"Brother Pang Yang did it." Bai Guo answered Li Cheng and asked, "Is there any news?"
"No, they are just blinded by the money. After all, they don't know as much as the soldiers." Li Cheng took a big gulp of tea before taking a breath and continued: "But Botu only asked his subordinates to contact them. The only time Botu will appear is today."
That's the thing again.
Bai Guo looked at Li Cheng distressedly, "Do you think Botu came to me because he wanted to beg for mercy?"
Yi Jian couldn't help but laugh out loud, "If you want to beg for mercy, you should go to Governor Pang. It is most likely that you go to Governor Bai because of..."
Yi Jian suddenly paused when he said this, and then frowned, "Speaking of which, Supervisor Bai's forces are all in Chengzhou Kingdom. The only ones that can be favored by Hongliang Kingdom are the caravans, but they can raise the caravans themselves. come out."
Li Cheng understood clearly, "The ground produces food."
One word awakens the dreamer.
The rain during last year's autumn harvest was very poor, resulting in a lot of grain being harvested empty. This also forced Yifeng to cooperate with Chengzhou.
In the face of this natural disaster, Chengzhou and Han Shang were the least affected, but Han Shang's land was still not as good as Chengzhou's, so Han Shang's life was still not much better than in previous years.
It is obvious that the Zhou Kingdom has sufficient food to fight the war. It has sufficient food to feed the people without affecting the country. It is completely different from the Hongliang Kingdom, which is already full of famines, internal and external troubles.
"If that's the case, it's easy to solve." Bai Guo took back the chess pieces and rearranged them, "Exchanging food for Magnolia and Ansuke is worth it no matter what."
"What if what he wants is everything from Supervisor Bai?"
Tu Ji handed the things to the servant and said something shocking.
Bai Guo wanted to laugh for a moment, "Why? Can't someone else pretend to be me..."
Bai Guo suddenly paused. She had used these words before.
Li Cheng and Yi Jian also looked at each other, but then looked at Bai Guo's face and shook their heads, "No way!"
The two of them were extremely decisive.
The chess piece in Bai Guo's hand fell, "I don't think it's possible either."
Bai Guo raised his eyes and looked at the three of them, "But if someone is pretending to be me, can you tell it apart?"
Li Cheng looked at Ginkgo's raised eyes and scornful aura in silence. He paused and said, "I don't think this is possible."
Bai Guo couldn't help but laugh, "I mean if so."
"There is no such thing as this."
Bai Guo was amused by the three of them and laughed. The chess piece in his hand trembled, but it did not affect the decisiveness and accuracy of the move at all.
"Brother Pang Yang forced Botu to come out. If Botu really shows up with such righteousness, then he can catch someone and question him. If he hides and just wants to get benefits from me..."
Bai Guo's eyes fell on the three of them with a cold look, "That depends on whether he has the strength."
Ginkgo's eyes are slightly raised at the end, and his high-ranking aura is unmistakable.
Pang Yang left for more than half a month and captured five cities. This miraculous speed once again shocked countless people.
As Pang Yang said, there was really no sign of Botu around Bai Guo during this period, and there were no more weird unopened papers.
But Botu also did not appear on the battlefield.
"General Li from Hongliang Kingdom was captured. Three of the other generals died, five were seriously injured, and one was slightly injured. If Botu doesn't show up again, even the court will accuse him of treason."
There will be countless changes on the battlefield in one day, let alone more than half a month.
Bai Guo looked outside the room and frowned, "But Yulan and the others also have no news."
During this period of time, Bai Guo had many secret guards come, but he could not find anyone after searching several cities.
"In this case..."
Bai Guo didn't finish what he said, but the three of them all understood that the one who was most frustrated in this situation must be Bai Guo.
"Three thousand Xuanjia troops in the city protect Supervisor Bai." Li Cheng was reminding him.
These people outside would follow Gingo wherever he went, and Gingo's food, clothing, housing, and transportation would not be separated from their protection. From a good point of view, it was protection, but from another point of view, it was house arrest.
So what might Gingguo want to do...
"Inside the caravan..." Bai Guo raised his eyes and looked at Yi Jian. Yi Jian lowered his voice and said: "There are some suspicious places, but we are still exploring, so we can't confirm that it is Botu's hiding place."
"It would be impossible to say that he was seriously injured for such a long time, but if he was not seriously injured, why didn't he show up?"
Bai Guo raised his eyes and looked at Li Cheng, "He is still waiting for something to happen to Qi Zheng."
