Moreover, Bai Xianyu paused for a moment and said, "Brother, I estimate that his imperial edict should be arriving soon. In the next couple of days."

Outside the camp, dots of torch light could be faintly seen through the white tent, and soldiers were looking around for the Xiyi people. Most of the yelling and pushing in the city were from the angry Xiyi people, and the people fled after receiving relief.

They fled, leaving behind only the old, weak, sick and disabled.

After entering the city, the lieutenant revealed the emperor's intention. Everyone was heartbroken, but they could not change the result of being abandoned in their homeland, so they had to leave their hometown, hoping to come back one day. But some people were grateful for Bai Tanshen's kindness.

, chose to stay and join the army.

Outside the city, at some point, it fell into a gloomy darkness, as if there were dormant beasts prowling in the darkness.

"I gave it to Xu Wanru before I came here. It has been seven days now. It will take time for her to find an opportunity. The imperial edict should arrive soon. If not today, it will be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"In this case, time will be even tighter."

"Exactly."

If he didn't leave now, Bai Xianyu thought, it would be too late until the imperial decree came down.

Bai Tan understood what she meant, but frowned tightly, "If I leave now, what will happen to the soldiers and people behind me? Since ancient times, no general has escaped from the battlefield."

"This is not an escape, just a temporary measure."

"In my opinion, it's the same as running away."

In the last life, the eldest brother would rather die than surrender, and the reinforcements were delayed. In the end, a conspiracy was plotted between inside and outside, and all the soldiers in the city were slaughtered. If Xie Xingyun hadn't sent the dead soldiers to rescue the eldest brother from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, I'm afraid the eldest brother's death would have been

The ending will be just as tragic.

Bai Xianyu had long expected that Bai Tanshen would say this, but now that she was surrounded by enemies on all sides, there was no way she would let Bai Tanshen hand over his military power and let others take advantage of him.

"Brother, even if you don't leave, you can't stop Emperor Wu Xuan, right? Under the persuasion of everyone, Emperor Wu Xuan originally issued an order not to care about your crime of resisting the order, but in the end he changed his mind. Do you know why the order was changed day by day?

"

"He knows his origin."

"That's right." The girl tapped her fingertips on the table, "This is the real reason why he insisted on forming an alliance with the Western Yi. If he had the intention before, then now, forming an alliance with the Western Yi is the only option that Emperor Wu Xuan can

, kill you in an upright way."

The eldest brother has killed so many soldiers of Xiyi, and also killed members of the Xiyi royal family. He has long been hated by them. Even if Emperor Wu Xuan pretends to be generous and lets his eldest brother go, others will not miss the opportunity and will definitely take advantage of the eldest brother's loss of power.

Take advantage of the situation. After all, catching an illness and dying in a cell, or just making up any excuse, can kill someone.

And Emperor Wu Xuan could just let it go and reap the benefits. Just like when he learned that the Bai family was infected, his first reaction was not to send people to treat them, but to send people to see them after confirming that they were really sick.

Let them fend for themselves.

In his opinion, no one can take over the position of his eldest brother now. Although it is a pity, it is not unavailable. His throne is far more important than this.

"Brother, I know that there are some things that you cannot give up, such as the soldiers who accompany you from birth to death, such as the innocent people, then..." Bai Xianyu paused for a while, his apricot eyes were clear and bright, "So I have always protected you.

Let them."

Baitan was deeply shocked.

Always protecting them, never abandoning or leaving, but keeping them under his protection.

Bai Xianyu said it euphemistically because she was afraid that Bai Tanshen would not agree. The eldest brother had followed his father since he was a child and had been influenced by his father the most. I am afraid he would not accept such a shocking suggestion from her, but now there is no other way.

No matter which path her eldest brother chooses, she will try her best to protect him. The three thousand dead soldiers she brought are all elite, so it is not impossible to fight a bloody path.

Half a while passed.

The man spoke slowly, "Tell me, where is the late emperor's edict now?"

"Thank you Xingyun for taking it."

Bai Xianyu asked, "Brother, don't you believe me?"

Bai Tan chuckled deeply, and his eyes gradually became firmer, "How could I not believe you? It's just that this thing may cause death, so I wanted to keep it for you. Since it's not in your hands, I don't need to worry about it."

"Then let's..."

"Xiao Yu'er, can you do me a favor?" he asked suddenly.

"What's the rush?"

Bai Tanshen took the pen and ink and wrote a letter, "Please help me send this thing to King Pingnan and King Nanzhao, and ask them to help me."

"King Pingnan is loyal, but not foolishly loyal. This is evident from his willingness to save you. He is also a founding hero and has a brotherhood with the late emperor. If he knew that Emperor Wu Xuan was not the son of the late emperor, he would definitely raise an army. If it is as you said, Nanzhao

Wang Duzi died at the hands of Emperor Wu Xuan. He has always had a hot temper, especially when it comes to defending his shortcomings. It would be fine if Emperor Wu Xuan were the heir, but he is not of orthodox royal blood, and with his temper, he will definitely not be able to bear it."

"Besides..."

Bai Xianyu was listening attentively, and when he met Bai Tan's searching eyes, he was slightly startled, "Besides, what?"

"Besides, the King of Nanzhao is extremely partial to Xie Xingyun. If Xie Xingyun is the legitimate Crown Prince of Kui, he will never sit idly by and let Xie Xingyun become a minister of the enemy who killed his father."

Bai Xianyu thought of Xie Xingyun's previous statement that he had no interest in the throne, and a trace of worry flashed through his heart. "Brother, do you mean to support Princess Jing'an or to have Xie Xingyun ascend the throne? But what if they are not willing?"

As if he did not expect Bai Xianyu to ask such a question, Bai Tan paused deeply for a few seconds, "Then they will never be able to live in peace. Emperor Wu Xuan will not let them go, and they will not let Emperor Wu Xuan go. As for who will ascend the throne,

If Princess Jing'an doesn't want to sit in that position, she will pass it on to Xie Xingyun. If Xie Xingyun doesn't want to, he will definitely arrange a suitable person. Nowadays, there is no bloodline of the late emperor in the royal family, so it is not impossible to choose one from among them."

"Besides, Xie Xingyun is so young, he can marry a wife and have a child by himself."

Bai Xianyu didn't know why, but suddenly thought of the Feng Shui master she met in Liangzhou, who said that Xie Xingyun had the appearance of an emperor. Who would have thought that one day, she might witness it with her own eyes.

She was so immersed in her own emotions that she didn't see the deep meaning in Bai Tan's eyes at all, "This letter is of great importance, Xiao Yu'er, I only believe in you."

Bai Xianyu came to his senses and took the letter solemnly, "Okay, I will definitely bring it and bring back the reinforcements."

"Um."

The night was dark and gloomy, and the dim stars hung precariously in the corner of the sky.

I don't know where the singing came from, it was loud and sad, making those who heard it sad.

Bai Xianyu's eyes were slightly sour, "Then I'll leave now. Brother, you must wait for me to come back."

"Be careful on the road, I'll send someone to escort you."

"good."

…

Da Kui Kyoto.

Emperor Wu Xuan's face turned livid, "You are a bunch of trash, even a few smallpox patients can't stand it. What use do I need from you!"

"Your Majesty, calm down! The top priority is to find Mr. Bai and the others, otherwise we don't know what trouble will be caused."

"Did you find any other traces? It couldn't have just disappeared, right?"

Liu Deyi did not dare to express his anger, "I have sent people to search urgently, but there is no news yet..."

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

The tea cup exploded beside him, and the harsh sound went through everyone's hearts, and they all couldn't help but tremble.

Emperor Wu Xuan was extremely angry, "What use do I want from you!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I also think it's very strange. Smallpox suddenly appeared in the Bai family, and among their servants, I sent people to check, and no one was infected with smallpox. Now it has disappeared again. It's really weird."

Extremely. I’m afraid something unclean may have been mixed in.”

"Why, now that the person is gone, do you want to catch a ghost to atone for the crime!"

"I don't dare, I don't dare!"

Liu Deyi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He clearly locked the door and sent people to surround it, so that he disappeared from the world. It made him frightened and frightened. He had no way to investigate and there were no clues at all!

But now if I don't give His Majesty an explanation, I'm afraid he will lose his head. After a few seconds, he suddenly seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and said happily: "Your Majesty, Imperial Preceptor! Chilian Imperial Preceptor! Such a weird thing,

The Imperial Preceptor is a very human being. He is the reincarnation of an immortal. He must be able to see clues that the humble ministers cannot see. Your Majesty, why not summon the Imperial Preceptor to come? The Imperial Preceptor is knowledgeable about the past and present, and has the power to predict the future. He will definitely be able to give some clues.

!I don’t have to wander around like a headless fly anymore!”

"Chilian." Emperor Wu Xuan just remembered that there was such a person. He frowned, "Did the last edict announce the time when the Imperial Master will enter the palace?"

"I went back to Your Majesty and announced the announcement, but the Imperial Master said that there was a secret coming from heaven, and time was not waiting for me, so he pushed back the day to advance to the palace."

In the past, Imperial Master Chilian often explored heavenly secrets, sometimes at the observatory, sometimes at a place where spiritual energy gathered. Emperor Wu Xuan authorized him to put the heavenly instructions first, and other matters that were not important could be accommodated.

Therefore, the chief eunuch didn't pay much attention to it. When Emperor Wu Xuan asked him today, he answered truthfully.

But Emperor Wu Xuan vaguely felt that something was not good, "You, go to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion to invite the Imperial Preceptor back. If not, go to the place where the Imperial Preceptor asked to find it. Within today, I want to see the Imperial Preceptor Chilian Station."

In front of me."

"yes."

But one day later, the eunuch guards still could not find the imperial master.

Liu Deyi knelt in the imperial study for a day, feeling dizzy.

Emperor Wu Xuan was furious, "How dare you fool me!"

The disappearance of Bai Mohuai, Bai Jingyuan and Bai Jinyan of the Bai family, as well as the disappearance of the national master, cannot be caused by strange forces and chaos, it must be man-made!

What a courage!
