Chapter 636 Bai Yu is really a male demon
The weather is gradually getting warmer.
The capital is particularly lively these days.
The first words that the people in the city would say to each other every day are no longer "Hey, where are you going?" or "Have you eaten? Come to my place for something to eat?", but "Have you heard any new news today? Which family is in trouble?"
This situation has continued for more than two months.
At first, it was just that the wealthy families in the city lost their collections of valuable medicinal herbs one after another, but soon things started to go wrong.
First, the news that the noble Lan family discovered an iron mine but kept it secret and appropriated it for themselves was exposed, shocking the capital.
Soon after, evidence that the Hu Yan family privately raised war horses in the northern part of the grassland was released, which angered the Khan.
A few days later, a servant of the Xubu family suddenly rushed into the downtown area, shouting for his life. He had only delivered secret information of the Xubu family to the Khan a dozen times over the years.
Many things are not brought up, and everyone knows what they are doing, so they can maintain a balance on the surface.
But once the matter is put on the table and in front of the world, it is no longer the same matter. You have to investigate even if you don't want to.
For a time, not only were the people in an uproar, but the king and his ministers in the council hall were also arguing with each other. The relationship between the two sides took a sharp turn for the worse, and the suspicion and fear between them reached a peak.
Both sides have tasted the bitterness of being in a difficult situation.
night.
In the bedroom of the royal palace in the harem, Chi Le sat beside a low table inlaid with emerald jade, holding an unfolded secret letter in his hand.
Although the light on the table was bright, he seemed to be shrouded in darkness, with a strong sense of hostility surrounding him.
The black-clad spy knelt before him and said, "After Shuang Diyi escaped, the scattered members of the Shuang Diyi clan gathered around him immediately. In just a few months, they gathered more than 10,000 people! Over the years, the Shuang Diyi clan has been lurking in the dark and recruiting soldiers. I just found out today that they have been hiding their troops and money in Wushan, waiting for the young master of the family to come out and then immediately start a rebellion! The situation is now established. Shuang Diyi sent a 'Letter to the King' in Xiongnu territory this morning!"
He publicly displayed evidence of the crime, accusing the royal nobles of secretly operating a special slave farm in Yicheng, treating the former royal descendants and nobles like pigs and dogs, torturing and killing them! Every family has its own rules and every country has its own laws. With such tyrannical crimes committed by the nobles, how should the king deal with them to appease the people?
Chile knew.
The book about asking the king is in his hands.
He tightly grasped the thin piece of paper, veins popping out on the back of his hand, and his eyes were filled with gloom.
The candlelight on the table flickered twice, and then a panicked and angry cry came from outside the palace door, "Khan, you must arrest Su Jiuni and the others immediately! How dare they break into my residence and steal the precious black pearls! They are so unscrupulous and lawless. If you continue to let them do this, they will dare to attack you next time!"
"Enough!" The shrill and piercing shouting made the taut string in Chi Le's heart unable to bear the weight, and finally broke. He slammed the table and roared, "Get out of here! Get out!"
The king was furious, and the surroundings immediately became quiet. The huge palace became silent, and the only clear sound was the king's rapid and unstable breathing.
Chi Le fell back into his chair, his eyes flashing red.
Su Jiuni is pushing him to death!
He thought he was clever and could be the mantis, but he didn't know that Su Jiuni was not the mantis, but the hunter behind the oriole!
At this point, his relationship with the nobles has completely broken down and they have begun to try to stab each other in the back. The Shuangdi clan in Wushan has already started a rebellion, and there is also Su Jiuni in the capital who is waiting to watch the show and take advantage of it.
It was he who put himself in a situation where he was attacked from all sides!
He didn't want to blame himself, but instead blamed Hu Xiaodie for being a disaster star and bringing bad luck to anyone who came into contact with her.
If Hu Xiaodie had not surrendered and offered to help him capture Hu Man, he would never have revealed his true identity, let alone confront Su Jiuni and others!
But Hu Xiaodie had already been tortured to death.
Filled with resentment and having no place to vent, Chi Le smashed everything he could in the bedroom, "Su Jiuni!"
…
"A-choo!" In the inn, Tian Bao sneezed, rubbed the tip of his nose, and said nonchalantly, "Chi Le is scolding me."
Bai Yu couldn't help but laugh. "Grandpa Du is almost ready to pluck out his hair. With all the internal and external troubles, it's natural for him to be angry. Let's ask Grandpa Du to send him some cooling tea as a reward to thank him for letting them watch such a great show."
Tian Bao curved her lips and said, "Yeah."
At night in the royal capital, the streets are still bustling, and the teahouses and restaurants are still full of customers.
The noise drifted into the room through the window, causing the lamp on the table to flicker impatiently.
Bai Yu sat under the lamp, oblivious to the noise, but was bewitched by the woman's light nasal voice.
"Shuangdiyi is rallying the people's support. Once the people are on his side, that's when he'll aim his sword at the capital. Grandpa Du has been causing unrest in the capital for a while now. The rift between the Chile and the nobles is irreparable. If they start a rebellion, the nobles will inevitably side with the Shuangdi family. Chile's defeat is certain. We don't need to stay here to witness the outcome. We can prepare to return home."
He stood up and walked to the window, naturally closing it tightly. "The Sha Palace sent a letter home, saying that Uncle Duan Dao has returned to Tubei Village to retire. Wei Li was blessed with a son last month, and my eldest brother, Bing'er, is also pregnant. There's also good news from Xiling. Cousin Hong Qiang gave birth to a son at the beginning of the year, and is now pregnant again. It's all happy news in the family."
After closing the window, he returned to the table, his eyes dark as he lowered his head to blow out the flickering candle.
Tianbao, "What are you doing?"
In the darkness, the man lowered his voice a few degrees and chuckled, "Serve me in bed."
“…” Tianbao’s nose tip suddenly felt numb and itchy, a sign of nosebleed.
Bai Yu is really a male demon.
It makes people angry and overwhelmed...
Outside the bedroom, two sets of footsteps suddenly turned back.
Su Wu's muffled curses came through the door, "What time are the lights out? This must have been done by Bai Yu!"
"What are you yelling about? Do you have any sense? You're such an idiot, get out of here!" Wheat Ear gritted his teeth and shouted, his voice soon becoming unclear.
"I'm his third brother-in-law, how can I let him outdo me? Let's go back to the room and sleep! Ouch! Be gentle, don't pull my ears!"
On the roof of the inn, two figures sat side by side, enjoying the summer night breeze, drinking sake brought from the palace, and looking down at the lights of thousands of houses below.
Relying on the fact that it was night and not attracting attention, even if someone noticed him, they would not dare to come and provoke him easily. The old man simply pulled off the hairband on his head and rake his hands on his bun. The originally neat hair immediately became messy, forming a new shape.
Feeling his hair swaying freely in the night breeze, the old man relaxed. He crossed his legs, twitching his toes. "It's still comfortable this way. It doesn't strain my scalp... The Xiongnu capital is still very lively. The lights at night are like stars falling on the city. But I still feel that it lacks a bit of flavor. It doesn't have the unique Jianghu atmosphere of Fengyun City, nor the harmonious atmosphere of Tubei Village."
The old man misses home.
"Xiao Bai, when can we go home?"
"It's almost done." Accompanying the old man, Bai Xiaofeng rarely seemed to mind the dust on the open roof.
"That guy named Chi Le is still alive, how can he escape?"
"Then do something to get him killed sooner."
The old man straightened up suddenly, his eyes shining.
Bai Xiaofeng curled his lips and rolled his eyes openly in a way that was inconsistent with his status.
