Chapter 1429 Dark Tide, the Man behind the Scenes 1



Then, many people looked unhappy.

This is more than just arriving early!

Regardless of their positions, those who are interested and capable have found out that Baili Feiyue and his group will arrive around dusk this afternoon!

This is still not a surprising situation.

However, this group of people clearly did not intentionally hide their whereabouts and arrived ahead of time quietly under everyone's noses!

what does that mean?

The Regent of Dajing is still the Regent of Dajing. As long as he wants, they can't track his whereabouts at all!

Or, he must have known that they were secretly keeping track of his whereabouts, so he arrived early without making a fuss!

In other words, Changsun Wuji knew them all. And what they knew was only what the other party threw out to them!

This small episode has caused countless people to feel endless fear, dread, and speculation...

Let’s talk about Baili Feiyue, Ling Sheng and others on the street at this moment.

The one who was galloping over was none other than the current head of the General's Mansion, Miss Ling Ba, Ling Xueer.

Like everyone else, Ling Xueer had originally received information that Baili Feiyue and others would arrive around dusk this afternoon, but she didn't expect them to arrive earlier.

She had originally planned to come out early to pick up Baili Feiyue and her group after receiving the news, but halfway through she met the guard who came back to report that Ling Sheng had fallen.

Knowing Ling Sheng's character, the guards didn't dare to go forward even if he fell, so Ling Xueer quickened her pace.

I didn't expect to see Baili Feiyue and Ling Sheng meet each other.

"Third sister!" Ling Xueer jumped off the horse and shouted in surprise.

When her eyes moved to Ling Sheng, Ling Xueer's voice became noticeably softer.

"Dad, are you okay?"

While speaking, he secretly glanced at Baili Feiyue, trying to see from her face what she thought and felt about Ling Sheng.

As a result, he was just caught by Baili Feiyue, "What's wrong, Eighth Sister? Since you are here too, shall we go to the General's Mansion together first?"

Third sister is willing to go to the general’s mansion first!

Ling Xueer said happily, "Okay!"

At this time, the carriage of the Ling Mansion, which was one step behind Ling Xueer, also arrived.

Ling Xueer went to Ling Sheng and asked, "Dad, can I help you get on the carriage?"

She was really afraid that Ling Sheng would refuse again, so she insisted on walking back by herself.

Fortunately, Ling Sheng didn't say anything this time. Ling Xueer breathed a sigh of relief and personally helped Ling Sheng into the carriage.

Ling Xueer and Baili Feiyue both rode horses.

After the group gradually walked out of the sight of everyone on the long street, the people who were sweating profusely on both sides of the street finally relaxed.

And it was in a private room on the second floor of a teahouse somewhere on the street.

There were two noble and handsome men sitting there.

One of them turned his eyes back when Baili Feiyue and the others could no longer see him, and said to the person opposite, "The Ninth Emperor Aunt is still the Ninth Emperor Aunt. Only she can cut off someone's tongue in the street without being afraid of being talked about."

This person was none other than Ming Wang who beat Ling Xinqin two days ago.

Opposite him was a man in fancy clothes who had a cold expression but was exceptionally handsome.

This person had no expression from beginning to end, just a calm face.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Prince Ming lowered his voice and said, "Brother Prince Gong, the Ninth Prince actually arrived in Kyoto half a day in advance. Don't you have any ideas?"

Prince Gong gave him a cold look and said, "Is this why you asked me to come here for tea this morning?"

"Brother Gong, what are you talking about? It's just that we brothers haven't seen each other for a long time..."

Before he finished speaking, Prince Gong stood up and said in a condescending manner, "Be obedient and abide by the rules, so you can live longer."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

After Prince Gong left, the folding fan in Prince Ming's hand snapped into two pieces.

"Heh, everyone says that Prince Gong is the most cunning and powerful one among our Changsun royal family, except for the Ninth Uncle. In my opinion, he is just a coward."

The confidant behind the King Ming quickly said, "Your Majesty, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."

King Ming sneered again.

"I don't want to be a cowardly prince all my life!"

He turned to his confidant and narrowed his eyes slightly, "What is the connection between Princess Jing'an and the Ninth Uncle? Haven't you found out yet?"

The confidant quickly looked around and then shook his head.

"It's strange." King Ming couldn't understand, "She is just an adopted daughter of the former queen mother, but she is protected so tightly."

The confidant reminded, "Master, this is not the place to discuss these things."

"This teahouse is all reserved by me. We have people upstairs and downstairs. What are you afraid of?"

The confidant hesitated to speak.

Prince Ming also lost interest in drinking tea. "Okay, let's go back home. It's time to go back and ask the princess to prepare to go to the general's mansion."

As for Baili Feiyue and the others, after returning to the General's Mansion, Ling Xueer immediately arranged for a doctor to examine and treat Ling Sheng.

The fall did not cause any serious problems.

However, Ling Sheng had no intention of chatting with his two daughters, even though Baili Feiyue had just returned and the father and daughter had not seen each other for a long time.

After Ling Xue'er and Baili Feiyue left Ling Sheng's room, Baili Feiyue asked, "Has he always been like this?"

Ling Xueer looked at her cautiously again before nodding.

Baili Feiyue frowned and said nothing.

"Third sister, Dad is feeling very upset. Please don't..."

"Don't want what?" Baili Feiyue interrupted.

Ling Xueer paused.

Baili Feiyue laughed, "Why? Are you afraid of me too?"

Ling Xue'er was stunned at first, then stamped her feet and said angrily, "Third sister!"

Baili Feiyue clicked her tongue and said, "You are still you. I thought you were going to keep acting like this."

The sense of distance disappeared instantly.

Ling Xueer refused, "Third sister, you tease me as soon as you come back!"

Baili Feiyue flicked her forehead with her curved finger and said, "Don't put so much pressure on yourself."

Ling Xueer felt a lump in her throat and quickly lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes.

When he looked up, he smiled brightly again, "No way."

"That's good," the two of them walked to a place and sat down, and Baili Feiyue said again, "Dad goes out by himself like this every day?"

Ling Xueer nodded. "I can't persuade you, and I don't dare to persuade you."

Baili Feiyue tapped the edge of the railing with her fingers, "Do you know that the people of Kyoto are pointing fingers at Dad in private now?"

Ling Xue'er lowered her head in shame, "I know a little bit. I also tried to change the wind direction and public opinion. But..."

"But, it doesn't work, right?"

Ling Xueer looked up at Baili Feiyue in surprise.

But he saw a chill in the depths of Baili Feiyue's dark eyes.

"Third sister?"

Baili Feiyue had a hint of coldness on her lips, "This is not accidental."

"Third sister, you mean..." Ling Xueer's expression also became cold.

"A lot of messed up things happened in the General's Mansion, but it's been a while since then. Even if Dad retires now, he is definitely not a so-called 'dog in trouble.'"

It's not someone else's turn to be beaten.

Ling Xueer understood everything immediately.

yes!

Although Dad has retired now, the General’s Mansion has not collapsed!

Quite the contrary, now the General's Mansion has not only the Third Sister as the Regent Princess, but also the support of not only the Third Sister and the Regent, but also Emperor Chengyuan!

Emperor Chengyuan is the son of my third sister!

Even if my father retired, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the General's Mansion was still in its heyday. Even if there was something ugly or unpleasant about the General's Mansion, others would open their eyes and lie to cover up the truth.

Why would people generally point fingers at my father, a general who has fought in battles all his life?

There is someone behind this who is doing this deliberately!
