Chapter 834: The Supreme Place on Earth, No Trash Can Stay
At three o'clock in the morning.
At the camp of the Lingnan army, a man wrapped in a black robe with no visible face was escorted all the way and rushed into the commander-in-chief's tent.
The people in the tent didn't react at all, not even a glance.
Bai Ziqing lifted his black robe and looked at the mess on the ground in disbelief. He looked at Jiang Yubai as if he were a madman. "The army has arrived at the city and has been pressing on for several days without moving."
"What is the young prince thinking about?"
Is it because we lack the opportunity to use force, or is it because we lack the courage to move forward?
The troops are already here, what is the reason for the hesitation and confusion now?
Mr. Xue didn't know why Bai Ziqing had risked his life to come here, but Jiang Yubai was his disciple since childhood, so he subconsciously said, "Mr. Bai, you don't know, the young prince is..."
"I don't care why he does that!"
The young master of the Bai family, who was known for his gentleness, suddenly flew into a rage. He rushed forward, grabbed Jiang Yubai's disheveled collar, and gritted his teeth: "Jiang Yubai, do you know what you are doing?"
"Kyoto is right before our eyes. You led your troops across thousands of miles, sacrificing countless lives, all for the day you destroy Kyoto and build a new one."
"Countless people rushed forward to conquer cities for you, countless lives laid the steps to your ascent, so many heroic souls still awake above, countless wronged souls still groaning in hell, and you're just drinking here?"
"How did you manage to open your mouth and drink that?! Are you worthy of the many people who died in vain?! Are you worthy of the army outside waiting for your orders?!"
Because of the good relationship between Bai Ziyu and Xu Yu, the Bai family had already secretly defected to Lingnan under the mediation of the Bai brothers. This was also a secret chess move set by Lingnan in Kyoto.
The Bai family is a century-old family in Kyoto, and they handle things with moderation and know when to advance and retreat appropriately.
The King of Lingnan knows how to use people well, and those he uses have no doubts about them.
The two sides have been cooperating happily since they had secret dealings.
Until this moment harmony collapsed.
Facing Bai Ziqing's questioning, Jiang Yubai twitched his lips with a forced smile and said sarcastically, "What life and death, what civilian army?"
"Ancient sages have said that life and death are determined by fate. It is all personal destiny. What does it have to do with me?"
Mr. Xue and the scholar were all following the orders and instructions of the old prince, and they were determined to weld him into the army at all costs.
But Jiang Yubai didn't want to stay here.
He doesn't want any overall situation or imperial power.
He just wanted to go home.
However, the old prince made careful arrangements for everything, and those he ordered were not afraid of life or death. He was trapped in this tent and could not get out or return to Lingnan.
If that’s the case, why bother caring so much?
Jiang Yubai pulled away Bai Ziqing's hand that was grabbing his collar, sat back on the ground, and said bitterly, "Master Bai, I'm just an ordinary person. I can't do the things of a saint."
"According to what you're describing, this person should be a deity who saves people from suffering, or an omnipotent spirit. What about me..."
"I am just an ordinary person, I cannot have such grand ambitions and aspirations."
He himself was still trapped in the invisible hell of fire, his skin torn and flesh broken, unable to get out.
What can he do for others?
Why should he sacrifice everything he has and do so much for a stranger?
Jiang Yubai's eyes were filled with self-mockery as he spoke. He was too lazy to stand up and simply stretched out his hand to reach the wine jar beside him.
Bai Ziqing laughed out loud when he saw this: "Is this what the young prince thinks?"
Jiang Yubai raised his eyebrows disdainfully: "What else?"
"A clay Buddha cannot cross the river. If he can't even cross it himself, how can he have the leisure to care about others?"
"But if Master Bai has a heart to save the world, then he can..."
"Since I have no intention of going any further, then I think I came here by accident today."
Bai Ziqing's shocking words interrupted Jiang Yubai.
Mr. Xue looked at the mocking look in his eyes and eyebrows, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably.
Mr. Xue looked at Bai Ziqing hesitantly: "Mr. Bai, where did you get this from?"
Bai Ziqing quickly emerged from his furious shell and put on his gentle and refined self again, his smile gentle. "It doesn't matter what you meant, but considering our past friendship, I don't mind saying a few more words."
"If the young prince doesn't want to lead these two hundred thousand people to their doom in Kyoto, then he must remember to stay away from Kyoto. The farther the better. After all..."
"When Kyoto is reduced to ashes overnight, there will be no distinction between master and servant."
Jiang Yubai's pupils suddenly shrank and he looked up suddenly.
Bai Zidan gathered the black robe on his shoulders with one hand, turned around and left with a hint of sneer on his lips.
"If you don't want to get involved, take your people and get out of here."
"Kyoto has always been the seat of the emperor and the residence of the emperor. Such a supreme place in the world cannot tolerate even a single piece of trash."
Bai Ziqing said this and walked away quickly without any hesitation.
Mr. Xue looked at Jiang Yubai helplessly, then looked in astonishment at the direction where Bai Ziqing was walking away: "Young Prince..."
"The Bai family must have come here on some important matter. They can't be making trouble out of nothing, young prince..."
"Bring him back."
Jiang Yubai stood up with the help of the table, and said word by word with a gloomy face: "Bring him back now."
"Immediately order the troops to assemble and await orders to launch an assault on Kyoto. Find the spies who have been traveling to Kyoto in the past few days and send them now!"
"Also, order all generals, including the lieutenant, to come to discuss this matter."
"quick!"
Bai Ziqing had walked out less than a hundred steps when he happened to run into Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou. At the urgent urging of Mr. Xue, he was forcibly taken back by Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou on the spot.
As the saying goes, it is hard to explain when a scholar meets a soldier. Bai Ziqing was forced to face two strong guys and couldn't break free. He was directly covered with his mouth and stuffed into Jiang Yubai's tent.
Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou acted decisively and quickly, bringing the man down and preparing to leave. Unexpectedly, Bai Ziqing said with a cold smile, "What are you two doing here to stir up trouble? Are you here to get yourself killed?"
The two people who were asked let out a confused "ah".
Bai Ziqing said with a half-smile, "Go home quickly, and tell Xu Yu to come to his grave in person on his death anniversary next year. Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel if you see a ghost sitting on your bed in the middle of the night."
Sang Yanyou had studied in the Bai family's clan school and had received a lot of care from the Bai family. When he heard this, he immediately frowned.
"Why did Brother Bai say such depressing words?"
"we……"
"Depressing words?"
Bai Ziqing said with a smile: "Yanyou, it's not time to send off the funeral yet, so it's not considered a depressing thing to say now."
"What your second brother Bai said is true."
Once Emperor Yongshun's conspiracy succeeds, what will become of the Bai family?
What about the many aristocratic families that are entrenched in the wealthy land of Kyoto and show off their power?
In the face of life and death, all living beings are ants.
In all places in Kyoto that the royal secrets can reach, find every living thing that can breathe and kill them all.
