Chapter 380
After Bai Xianyu got off the boat, Bai Jingyuan had been standing at the bow of the boat, his eyes fixed on her, and his frowning eyebrows never relaxed for a moment, as if the girl he looked at would disappear in the next second.
"Third brother, this is the first time I've seen you so reluctant to leave." Bai Jinyan walked behind him, sat down, and looked over, sighing, "To be honest, I always feel like I'm going to leave this time."
Something big happened."
Bai Mohuai leaned against the edge of the boat, "All the young men of the Bai family disappeared overnight. Isn't this a big deal?"
"Big! But I think something bigger will happen..."
Bai Jingyuan suddenly frowned, "By the way, did Xiao Yu'er tell me where the late emperor's edict is now?"
"No."
"Never."
Bai Jinyan relaxed and lay on his back on the boat, "But since it was dug out by my sister, it must be at my sister's place."
There was a moment of silence, the sea breeze whistling in my ears.
"Brother, it will be fine."
The young man's words received no response. He turned to look at his two elder brothers, "Second brother, third brother, why don't you speak?"
Bai Jingyuan paused for a few seconds, "After the few of us disappear, Emperor Wu Xuan will definitely make a fuss about this, which may be even more unfavorable for the eldest brother's situation."
Bai Jinyan felt cold in his heart and said stiffly: "What do you mean?"
He thought of this in hindsight. Now that they were imprisoned, they could just walk away, but the people around his eldest brother were still watching with eager eyes. Emperor Wu Xuan could fabricate charges for them at will. Wouldn't it be more effective to deal with them?
Big brother’s reason.
"Aren't we sending our excuses to Emperor Wu Xuan!" Bai Jinyan stood up excitedly and looked at the dark water, "I want to get off the boat, we can't leave!"
Bai Mohuai held his shoulders and said, "Calm down."
"How can you be calm! We will kill eldest brother!" Bai Jinyan's strength was unexpectedly strong, and he said with red eyes: "That's eldest brother. He has been fighting on the battlefield for us for more than ten years, and he has never lived a single day.
, how can we put a knife in his back now just to survive!"
Seeing that Bai Mohuai couldn't restrain him, Bai Jingyuan called a few dead men and tied up Bai Jinyan directly, "Don't make us sound so wolf-hearted."
Bai Jinyan was scared and angry. He was afraid that he would really kill his eldest brother, and he would never forgive himself in his life. He might as well sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish. What he was angry about was that since the second brother and the third brother knew that this would harm his eldest brother, then
Why even get on this ship?
"Isn't it?" Bai Jinyan was tormented in his heart and almost shouted.
Bai Mohuai smiled and shook his head, "Third brother, tell him."
What to tell him?
Did they hide something else from him?
"Sure enough, he is just a teenage brat. He gets impulsive after saying a few words." Bai Jingyuan helplessly raised his forehead, "How could we leave our eldest brother alone? Have you ever thought that even if we go back, what we will do will be affected by every move we make."
Under the surveillance of Emperor Wu Xuan, maybe he will use it as a bargaining chip to threaten his elder brother?"
Hearing the calm voice of his third brother was like a reassurance, which instantly made Bai Jinyan sober up. He showed an apologetic expression, "So, second brother and third brother, you have already thought of a solution?"
Bai Jingyuan said: "If you stay in Kyoto and have your hands tied, the first step is to find a way to leave. Now this step has basically been successful."
"What about the second step?" Bai Jinyan couldn't wait, "What should we do in the second step?"
"I'm not absolutely sure about the second step, but it's better than waiting to die in Kyoto."
Bai Jingyuan looked at the place where he boarded the ship again. At this time, nothing could be seen clearly except for darkness. "Now we know that Emperor Wu Xuan's throne was usurped, and the late emperor's edict has also appeared. Maybe we can use this to persuade peace."
King Nan, help the new emperor ascend the throne."
The man's words were understated, as casual as discussing the weather, but Bai Jinyan's expression changed, "Let King Pingnan rebel?"
"But Princess Jing'an probably doesn't even know about the existence of the late emperor's edict. What if she doesn't have such ambition? After all, Emperor Wu Xuan loves her so much."
Bai Jingyuan narrowed his eyes, "Love? Do you know that I have traveled all over Dakui in the past three years. Apart from rescuing my colleagues and uncovering the person behind the twin case, have I discovered anything else?"
Bai Jinyan spent most of the past three years staying with Bai Jingyuan, but because the list given by Bai Xianyu was too long, like a Bodhisattva, he sometimes had to take care of their parents, and sometimes he had to save lives from bandits.
Rescue their relatives... so they spent a considerable amount of time away from Bai Jingyuan.
When he asked this question, Bai Jinyan was really confused and shook his head.
Bai Jingyuan paused and said slowly: "I found out the truth about the death of Marquis Zhenbei."
Bai Jinyan's pupils narrowed, "What's the truth?"
"The truth is that the death of Marquis Zhenbei was not an accident, but someone did it deliberately, and this person was Emperor Wu Xuan."
"How could it be him!"
"The reason is unknown, but I have in my hand a token of communication between Emperor Wu Xuan and the deputy general of Zhenbei Hou Ying."
Bai Jinyan couldn't help but admire Bai Jingyuan. He didn't expect that the third brother actually collected these things according to the instructions. The current situation was like risking death and resurrecting. With this token, Princess Jing'an would definitely forge a deep hatred with Emperor Wu Xuan.
In other words, a person who Emperor Wu Xuan was even more afraid of turned to them.
"If we contact Princess Jing'an and explain the origin of this token clearly, wouldn't Xie Xingyun also help us?"
The late emperor's edict comes before him, and the revenge of his father's murder is behind him. No matter what methods Emperor Wu Xuan uses, he can't restore this broken relationship!
Moreover, Bai Jinyan thought to himself, he was just thinking that if they said it was the late emperor's edict, not many people might believe it. But if Xie Xingyun said that the late emperor's edict existed, those who regarded him as a god would definitely follow him.
Besides, Zhenbeihou is the only son of King Nanzhao. King Nanzhao has a lot of troops. If he sees this thing, he may immediately attack Kyoto!
In addition to King Pingnan, since King Pingnan told his sister to protect the General's Mansion before, they are very likely to convince him now!
As a result, the two foreign surnamed kings, both of whom were among the best, stood on the side of their Bai family. Coupled with the soldiers and horses in the hands of the eldest brother, the situation was suddenly reversed!
Bai Jinyan smiled unconsciously, "No wonder you are so calm, brother. It turns out you were prepared and made me worry for so long... Then is brother safe?"
Bai Jingyuan still looked deeply worried, "If it can be implemented, it can be considered a good strategy, but the most important issue at the moment is time."
It would take at least twenty days to contact King Nanzhao, convince King Pingnan, and let them send troops to support the elder brother.
He had no choice but to pass the news to the eldest princess' mansion first. Xie Xingyun was ill for a long time and had no chance to tell him about the token.
Then he entrusted a letter to tell his elder brother the news about the imperial edict.
At the same time, he also told him that if his life was in danger, he could raise troops first and wait for reinforcements to arrive before he could explain.
What Bai Jingyuan was most worried about was that he was afraid that Bai Tan would be attacked from both sides and would not be able to hold on to reinforcements.
After all, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the cunning and vicious Xiyi people are always watching.
Bai Jingyuan pinched his eyebrows. Next, he also had a tough battle to fight. He left an address in the south of the Yangtze River for King Nanzhao. I was afraid that King Nanzhao would be waiting for him there as soon as he landed.
I heard that King Nanzhao had a strange and violent temper, and I wonder if he would believe what he said. If he didn't believe it and sent people to investigate again, which would delay the opportunity to rescue his elder brother, it would be troublesome.
He had already divided the work with Bai Mohuai. His second brother went to King Pingnan's territory and asked him to send troops, while he went to deal with King Nanzhao. I hope everything can be done in time.
