In the carriage, Li Fenglan asked Amber to light the fire seal and carefully looked at half of the map. After looking at it for a long time, he sighed: "No wonder the Bai family dared to give it to us casually, just half a piece, and we can't understand it at all."
Amber blew out the fire seal and asked Li Fenglan: "Miss, why did you agree to go to Bai's house? Aren't you afraid of fraud?"
Li Fenglan replied: "Of course I'm afraid...but the Bai family doesn't dare to do anything to us. There are many people who want my life, but the Bai family doesn't dare to take it."
Jade outside the car asked: "Why?"
"The Bai Shuyu pretended to be calm and calm, but he was actually a little scared... When Changfeng Tower was hunted down, the Bai family played a major role. No one in the world knows about this, but we know everything."
"Then they should kill people and silence them."
"There are also Lao Mo in Changfeng Tower, Aunt Zhou, Uncle Fu, and other disciples scattered in various places. After the Bai family was injured eighteen years ago, they have not dared to raise any dead soldiers in these years, only to protect themselves. Ability. If he really kills us, Changfeng Tower still has the strength to destroy the Bai family. The purpose of inviting us as guests this time is to test Changfeng Tower’s intentions."
"How many days do you really want to stay at Bai's house?"
"Of course, it's free accommodation, why not stay there?"
Having said that, the topic was no longer discussed. Jade often scoffs at Li Fenglan's words, thinking that she is too naive, but the strange thing is that she is willing to listen to her every time something happens. Not to mention Amber, who has been a follower of the two of them since childhood.
After a moment of silence, Jade suddenly asked: "What do you think of this Third Young Master Bai?"
"Well...handsome and extremely smart. That's probably it."
Jade said: "Don't you think he is a prodigal?"
"What's it called?"
"The girl in the house."
"What happened to that girl?"
"I heard her footsteps. This girl is lame."
"cripple?"
"Yeah, probably a prosthetic leg."
Li Fenglan suddenly became enlightened and said with a smile: "I didn't think about the cripple, but I did think about pretending to hang around in the flowers, paralyzing people in the world, and secretly cultivating a force loyal to the Bai family. I originally thought that Bai What is the family's trump card? I didn't expect... it would be this Baihua Building."
Jade didn't reply, because the carriage leading the way had stopped at the door of a large house, and Jade also stopped the carriage.
The three girls followed the two Bai brothers into the house.
The scale of the White Mansion is much larger than that of the Blue Wind Escort Agency, and I am afraid that ordinary princes and nobles would not have such a grandeur. There are sentries every three steps and one post every five steps in the yard, and the guards are extremely tight.
Bai Zhonglian said to Li Fenglan: "You three can go to the hall and wait quietly, and then go down and invite my sister and brother."
Li Fenglan said hurriedly: "Second Young Master, it's getting late. It's not a good time to disturb my brother and sister from their dreams."
Bai Zhonglian replied: "It doesn't matter, this is arranged by my sister - Shu Yu, you take the three girls to the hall."
Bai Shuyu said with a smile: "Okay, you three, come with me."
Bai Shuyu invited Li Fenglan and others into the hall, ordered his servants to serve tea, and then sat on the chair on the right. He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and behaved respectfully. He was completely different from the frivolous person who followed Baihualou.
Li Fenglan saw the change in Bai Shuyu, but didn't say anything.
Not long after, three people walked out of the back hall, one woman and two men. The woman is elegantly dressed, has a graceful figure, and has a beautiful face. This woman should be the actual head of the Bai family, Bai Xueyan. There were two men, one was Bai Zhonglian, whom he had met before, and the other, tall and serious-looking, should be Bai Boju, the eldest son of the Bai family.
Li Fenglan stood up and bowed deeply: "I have met Sister Bai, Mr. Bai."
Bai Xueyan had a spring-like smile on her face from the moment she entered the hall. She said, "Miss Li, there is no need to be polite. I have heard from Shu Yu that you are coming. He has been shouting for three days and finally sees you."
Li Fenglan pointed at Jade and Amber and said, "I was delayed because of something on the way. These two are my good sisters, Jade and Amber."
Bai Xueyan waved for everyone to sit down, and then said to Bai Shuyu: "Shuyu, go and close the door."
Bai Shuyu stood up and closed the main door of the hall.
Li Fenglan thought to herself, what is this going on? With such a big battle and all the doors closed, are the Bai family afraid that the walls have ears?
Bai Xueyan smiled and said, "Sister, please forgive me, it's best if what we are going to talk about next is not heard by outsiders."
Not even a polite word, just get straight to the point.
"Sister, please speak."
"Presumably the three sisters came out of the valley at this time because of what happened eighteen years ago. There was some misunderstanding between Changfeng Tower and the Bai family eighteen years ago."
Li Fenglan said nothing and waited for the next step.
Bai Xueyan stood up, walked slowly in the hall, and continued: "That night eighteen years ago, the Li family, Shangguan family, and Changfeng Tower were liquidated at the same time. Only the Bai family was safe. We were all on the same rope. grasshopper, but the ending is completely different. Everyone in the world says that it was the Bai family who betrayed all three of you. I think everyone in Changfeng Tower also thinks so, right?"
Li Fenglan was noncommittal.
"That's not the case," Bai Xueyan's eyes were a little dim. "All the spies of the Bai family in Luoyang City were killed that night. If the old sect leader Qiao of the Thorns Sect had not intervened, the fate of the Bai family would have been the same."
Li Fenglan asked: "Master Qiao is an upright man, and he has never had to be fair in his life. I know this...but why did you choose to protect the Bai family?"
Bai Xueyan replied: "Because Li Fengyao married Shangguan Cheng, and because Mo Changfeng is the adopted son of the Shangguan family... So, does my sister understand?"
"So, the Bai family has reason to stay out of the matter, but the Shangguan family, Li family and Changfeng Tower can't. Old Sect Master Qiao can only protect the Bai family, right?"
"Hey," Bai Xueyan replied, "I'll save half of the Bai family. My father's original intention was not to move one person and one horse from the Bai family. The Bai family withdrew from the world for thirty years. But I don't know what the old sect leader Qiao said. In the end, it was The Bai family has preserved some relationships, but the secrets collected over the years have been burned. In the past eighteen years, many of the spies placed by the Bai family in various places have been killed. Today is different from the past. Today's Bai family, We can only hold on to this three-thirds of an acre of land in Luoyang, but no one takes the Bai family seriously outside of Luoyang City."
Li Fenglan asked: "So what does sister mean?"
The smile on Bai Xueyan's face is still there, but it has become a bit cruel: "My father was devastated after what happened eighteen years ago. He died of depression fifteen years ago. Not long after, my mother followed him... In the past ten years Here, not only the spies everywhere were killed, but also the descendants of my Bai family suffered humiliation in the world... We want to avenge this."
Li Fenglan shrugged, seemingly unmoved: "Sister Bai is right, it's reasonable... But, how can I believe you? The old sect leader Qiao passed away a few days ago, and there is no evidence of what happened back then. How do I know... Did the Bai family betray Changfeng Tower?" After Li Fenglan said this, her voice became colder.
At this time, Bai Boju, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Because, you may be a child of our Bai family."
Li Fenglan thought of ten thousand explanations, but she never thought of this. She narrowed her eyes and said in a disbelieving tone: "Huh?"
Bai Shuyu walked to Li Fenglan and said with a smile: "Brother made it very clear, Miss Li, you may be a child of our Bai family."
Li Fenglan asked: "Why?"
"Twenty years ago, there were five people. They were chivalrous and loyal, and they traveled together in the world and formed a deep friendship. Mo Changfeng, Shangguan Cheng, Li Fengyao, my father, and one more."
"who?"
"Li Fengyao's sister, Li Yuzhuo."
Li Fenglan was a little confused. She had never heard Lao Mo mention this person before.
"I'm ashamed to say it," Bai Shuyu said helplessly, "my father and my mother are of the same family, but my father is not a peaceful person. Although he was engaged to my mother before, he still fell in love with Li Yuzhuo. Even before the accident eighteen years ago, Still with Li Yuzhuo. Ah... Of course, not many people know the name Li Yuzhuo, and not many people in the Li family have even heard of him. He is an illegitimate daughter, and Mr. Li never recognized him until she I took her back to the Li family when I was almost an adult. Before I left, my father told people that he and Li Yuzhuo might have a daughter."
Li Fenglan pondered deeply, remembering the conversation with Mo Changfeng before leaving the valley. He said that Li Fengyao was a narrow-minded and protective person, and it was impossible for her to let her own daughter be in danger... This made sense, she was very happy to let other people's children be in danger. But how to prove that what the Bai siblings said is true?
Seemingly sensing Li Fenglan's doubts, Bai Shuyu said: "We didn't remember it when my father told this story. Only a few of my uncles were present. Whether it is true or not, we don't know. Whether you believe it or not is all up to the girl. In between. But, what my eldest sister just said is sincere. Our Bai family is aggrieved. The family fortune accumulated by several generations has been burned down like this. If it were you, would you be angry? "
Li Fenglan suddenly laughed: "Sister Bai, what you said to me was not just a hot thought, it must have been carefully considered. You want revenge, and we also want revenge, so what you mean is...the Bai family and the elders Will Fenglou form an alliance?"
Although she asked this, Bai Xueyan's meaning was already very clear just now, which was to win over Li Fenglan. I didn’t expect that my first goal would be achieved so smoothly. But she still wanted to appear strong so that she could bargain later.
Bai Xueyan asked back: "Can my sister be the master of Changfeng Tower?"
Li Fenglan stood up and walked around the hall a few times with her hands behind her back, as if thinking about something. After a long time, she replied: "Of course."
"The Bai family really wants to form an alliance with Changfeng Tower. What's your sister's idea?"
"Agree." He agreed readily.
"Okay!" Bai Xueyan looked very happy, not pretending, and said to Bai Zhonglian, "Zhonglian, get some wine."
Li Fenglan quickly stopped: "Wait a minute! Sister Bai, forget about the wine... let's drink tea instead, little sister, I can't drink wine."
She still remembers that when she was fifteen years old, she secretly drank the medicinal wine given by Divine Doctor Hou and fell into a coma for three days before waking up. Although the coma was not caused by alcohol, it was enough to make Li Fenglan afraid of alcohol for the rest of his life.
Li Fenglan and Bai Xueyan exchanged tea for wine and had a drink together, thus completing their alliance. Later, Bai Xueyan asked someone to arrange for them to stay temporarily in the guest room, and the specific matters would be discussed tomorrow morning.
