[Liao Zhai] White Tiger

Bai Jingyang was about to leave Furong City, so Xuanqing naturally followed.

Before leaving, Xuan Yi came over to see them off. Besides Gu Yi, there were a series of people behind him, such as the city lord, the seventh lady, Xiao Zuo Xiao You, etc. The scene looked a bit spectacular.

"Boss, why don't you stay for two more days. Our brothers haven't seen each other for many years, and we have to say goodbye before we have time to reminisce about the past. It's really... so sad..." Xuan Yi sniffed his nose, and his eyes were watery.

Xuan Qing was silent for a moment, between the snot-nosed brother and Bai Jingyang, she resolutely chose the latter.

But in order not to hurt the younger brother's fragile heart, he suggested: "You can go out of the city with us, and you can teach Gu Yi outside."

Xuan Yi stretched out two fingers, expressionlessly wiped away a small teardrop that had just been forced out from the end of his eyes, and glanced at Bai Jingyang who was sticking to Xuan Qing's side.

"Emphasis on sex and despise friends, in the final analysis, I can't do without my sister-in-law for a moment."

"Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense, what little sister-in-law..." Bai Jingyang opened his eyes wide, his face became hot unconsciously, and his tone was a little uncomfortable.

In front of so many people, Xuan Qing felt very relieved when the ambiguity between the two was broken, as if declaring sovereignty, but on the surface he pretended to be serious, and even patted his little brother on the head in warning.

Then, he tried his best to suppress the raised corners of his mouth, and said seriously, "Xiaojing and I are just close friends now, don't get me wrong."

After finishing speaking, Xuan Qing turned her head and comforted Bai Jingyang gently: "Xuan Yi is like this, he never speaks seriously, so don't worry about Xiao Jing."

"Mmmm", Bai Jingyang was flustered by this little sister-in-law, even he himself didn't understand why he was so nervous, he just felt like a "boom", fireworks exploded in his head, and he could only nod along Xuanqing's words , "Yes, we are just close friends."

The people around immediately showed ambiguous smiles, and even Fang Dong, who was the most confused at the scene, opened his mouth and showed a surprised expression on his face.

"That's right, my closest friend~" The word "intimate" needs to be re-read.

After the laughter, Xuan Yi still couldn't help showing a somewhat melancholy expression, he dragged Xuan Qing and Bai Jingyang to the side of a tree, and put up a sound-isolation ban to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping.

The whole person looked a little dejected and said: "It's not that I don't want to leave Furong City, but I can't."

Xuan Qing's eyes darkened: "Why?"

Bai Jingyang didn't speak, but held Xuan Qing's hand tightly, feeling puzzled in his heart.

Xuan Yi explained in a nonchalant manner: "Maybe, maybe I was calculated by the way of heaven, and I accidentally slept for too long. As soon as I leave, the spiritual power cycle of the whole Furong City will start to be disordered and collapsed. When the time comes, I will live here. All living beings will be homeless.”

There are some fragile lives that cannot adapt to life outside at all. At that time, they are not only homeless, but many people will die before they find an alternative shelter.

In addition, Hibiscus City has existed for many years, and many original residents have lived here for generations. Once the whole world disappears in an instant, their inner stunned and bewildered will be no less than the collapse of faith.

Therefore, as long as he is a person with a little sense of responsibility, he cannot easily make a decision to abandon the creatures in this city.

The same is true for Xuan Yi, he is in the stage of hesitation and entanglement.

A trace of anger flashed in Xuan Qing's eyes: "Then you will be trapped in this city forever?"

Xuan Yi sighed helplessly. There were similar situations in the past. As long as he stayed in one place for more than a hundred years, it would be easy to form a fairyland, but as long as he left before any living beings were born, he would not have any effect.

The difference is that the current Furong City is no longer one or two creatures, but tens of thousands.

"Let's take one step at a time. As long as I find a replacement eye that can be used as a spiritual circulation, I can leave."

Xuan Qing was silent for a while, then made a promise: "Don't worry, I will help you find it outside."

As the demon king who dominated the northern continent during the prehistoric period, Xuan Qing never made promises easily, but once the words were spoken, he never violated them.

Bai Jingyang also echoed: "I will also help you pay attention with Brother Qing, there must be a solution."

Xuan Yi raised his brows and smiled, showing his white teeth: "Then I will thank my sister-in-law first."

"Everyone, I said they are friends, not some little sister-in-law..."

Bai Jingyang took a step back, stared at the other party in a panic, and loudly defended tremblingly, but his cheeks instantly turned bright red like a flying cloud.

This kind of reaction to cover up, not only didn't work, but made the atmosphere between the two more ambiguous.

Xuan Qing who was standing at the side didn't stop, she pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were as bright as the stars in the dark night.

After saying goodbye to Xuan Yi and Gu Yi temporarily, they returned to the imperial city.

Seeing that Fang Dong regained his eyesight after going out for a trip, his family was naturally full of joy. Fang Dong's wife burst into tears, and his old father even went out to buy a bunch of firecrackers, set them off for the whole morning, and said he would do something. At the table, let's celebrate and let go of bad luck.

The experience during this period made Fang Dong feel deeply. Even after the pupils left, he did not change back to the absurd appearance in the past. Instead, he was more strict with himself, more disciplined about his behavior, and persevered.

He has truly become a person of noble character, even after death, there are still people who praise his virtues.

Of course, these are things for later, and time returns to the present.

Bai Jingyang, who returned home, was extremely surprised to hear the conclusive news that Luo Yuan, Gu Yi's younger brother, had become the master of Dalei, and he had announced it to the world.

Such an accident can be said to be very confusing.

But the national teacher is now arranged to live in the Star Picking Building in the palace, and he is usually not seen.

Can't question the person involved, Bai Jingyang, full of curiosity, went out to inquire for a long time, but he could only find out that this matter might have something to do with Concubine Hu Gui, who was the only favorite in the harem.

It is said that this concubine Hu Gui is very beautiful, she can be called the most charming and beautiful woman in the world, even Emperor Wu Xuan was fascinated by her, she was the only one doted on by three thousand beauties, and no one could give birth to a child except her.

Therefore, Emperor Wuxuan has only one prince, not even a princess.

The number of heirs is so thin that the courtiers can't help but worry. They went to the court one by one to play Hu Guifei and the concubine to harm the country. They advised the emperor to spread the rain and dew evenly. .

However, Emperor Wuxuan turned a deaf ear to it. Even if there were pedantic old officials who wanted to speak bluntly and slammed their heads to death in the hall, he would not change his expression, let the guards pull him away and threw him out roughly.

Look like if you want to die, go out and die, don't dirty Lao Tzu's hall.

He even ridiculed them for being old and not ashamed, even taking care of the emperor's harem bed affairs, do you want to stand on the edge of the dragon bed next time and watch?

The veterans were so angry that they almost had a stroke and had a cerebral hemorrhage. They scolded him behind his back for being a fatuous and tyrant, without any cover for his reputation, and he didn't care about his reputation at all. He was like a bully.

But there is still nothing to do, no one will let Emperor Wuxuan be soft or hard, almost all the military power and regime are in his own hands, the absolute hegemony and dictatorship, so that the veterans can't find the slightest threat or excuse.

In the end, they could only hope that the only prince would grow up safely, with outstanding aptitude, and live long enough to succeed him.

Judging from the current situation, under the care of several bigwigs in the palace, the little prince is still very healthy.

In this way, the time passed to the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. At that time, all the ministers above the sixth rank and their relatives will enter the palace to celebrate their birthdays. Naturally, Bai Jingyang's family will also be among them.

Fatty: "Father, have you prepared the congratulatory gift for the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet?"

"What congratulatory gift?" Bai Zhenshan raised his head with a shrimp in his mouth, his eyes were a little confused.

Fatty held his forehead helplessly: "You won't forget, you will enter the palace to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet today."

Bai Zhenshan spat out the shrimp head, chewed the shrimp tail together and swallowed it twice, wiped his mouth: "Of course I haven't forgotten, I haven't tasted the craftsmanship of the royal chef in the palace for many years."

"........."

"Ahem, isn't it just a congratulatory gift? Go to the warehouse and pick out something that looks valuable, and just deal with it."

Anyway, the dishes on the banquet are the focus, and everything else is trivial.

Big Fatty looked at the old man who continued to bury his head in his meal, and felt that he was unreliable, and he had to do this, otherwise the other party might randomly pick it up from the garbage dump in the warehouse at the last moment before going out. What dirty jade cabbage, utensils full of copper rust and the like.

Apart from fighting, Er Fatty basically didn't care about anything else, and Xiaobao didn't want him to worry about it. Sure enough, he was the only one in the family who was reliable.

Fatty deeply felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy, he pursed his lips, and went to the warehouse to pick out some valuable and beautiful items, which were usually useless.

A multicolored Guanyin vase, a white jade lotus ruyi, a nine-like incense burner, plus his own hand-drawn picture of pine and crane prolonging the birthday, with the inscription Shanzang layman, just counting his father and brother one for each.

Fatty asked the maid to pack the gifts he had chosen into beautiful brocade boxes one by one, and then nodded with satisfaction.

He really is the most reliable big brother in the world.

"Xiaobao, you just came back, where do you want to go?" Brother Bai called to stop Bai Jingyang who was walking in a hurry.

Bai Jingyang: "Ah? I came back to get the fishing rod and bait, and I agreed with Brother Qing to go fishing together."

Brother Bai straightened his face immediately, and said seriously: "No, I'm going to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet soon, and there's no time to fish, so hurry up and change your clothes."

Don't call that guy Brother Qing! !Your own brother is standing in front of you! !Brother Bai screamed crazily in his heart.

Bai Jingyang pursed his lips: "But, I want to go fishing."

Brother Bai was immediately dazzled by his aggrieved appearance, and almost agreed, if he hadn't suddenly remembered Xuan Qing's black face, he was shocked.

No, I can't let that stinking face continue to succeed and snatch his little brother away.
