Chapter 234 Glass Banquet

Bai Jingyuan smiled slightly, "Thank you, Second Brother."

Bai Mohuai sighed, looking at the sky where the dark clouds were gradually gathering, "The sky in Kyoto has not been this dark for a long time."

Bai Jingyuan also looked up, but what he thought of was Liangzhou's sky.

In the Pear Fragrance Garden, the lush pear trees were dyed a deep green color by the cool raindrops, and the walls and mahogany were also infiltrated. The whole courtyard seemed to be full of color.

The man folded his arms and leaned quietly under the veranda, wearing a black brocade robe with dark golden auspicious cloud patterns, and his hair crown was a complete piece of black jade, exuding an icy chill.

Bai Xianyu's restless heart gradually calmed down, she walked slowly to Xie Xingyun's side, and saw a smile in the depths of his eyes.

He took a step forward, hugged him into his arms, and said in his ear, "What did you eat for so long?"

Bai Xianyu suddenly felt much more relaxed.

She was not reborn alone, and Xie Xingyun was with her.

"I ate chicken marrow bamboo shoots, ham stewed elbows, sugar steamed crisp cheese..." Bai Xianyu said everything, putting her hand on his back lightly. At the end, she changed the subject unexpectedly, "Is time speeding up?" gone?"

Xie Xingyun paused, but there was no surprise on his face. He was silent for a few seconds, then nodded, "Yes."

Speechless for a while.

Xie Xingyun saw her nervousness, and said in a calm tone, "Earlier than you know, when I was in Liangzhou, Emperor Wuxuan wrote a letter, which already revealed the envoys from Xiyi to the capital."

Bai Xianyu lowered his eyes, "In the 26th year of Qianyuan, there is not much time left."

Xie Xingyun pondered for a moment, "Perhaps it's not that bad. Bai Tan Shen Fenghou was in the 20th year of Qianyuan, and Xiyi's visit was in the 26th year, but it happened at the same time. This can only mean..."

"... It's messed up."

"But it also means, anytime." Bai Xianyu looked into his eyes, "Isn't it?"

It is possible to reproduce the scene at any time, and what she is most fortunate about now is that the fourth brother has not retired, so maybe he will not be involved in it.

It is still possible for her to send fourth brother to a safe place.

Xie Xingyun didn't answer, but bowed his head and kissed her forehead, "Don't think too much, keep the same to cope with all changes."

Bai Xianyu hugged him tightly, and said sullenly, "When will you marry me?"

Xie Xingyun was slightly startled, the chill between his brows dissipated instantly, "Huh?"

He suspected something was wrong with his ears.

Bai Xianyu's eyes were a little red, and he buried himself in his chest, "Time is running out, isn't it? If there is any accident..."

In this life, she and Xie Xingyun would not be able to stay together.

From a long time ago, she wanted to see Xie Xingyun and her brothers getting along in harmony, and maybe there was a cute child who would follow her and call her mother softly.

Thinking of it almost brought tears to my eyes.

She still has a lot of things to do, she just needs a little time to grow up...

Xie Xingyun saw her thoughts, "I'll come to propose marriage when your elder brother comes back."

What Bai Xianyu guessed was also that an elder brother is like a father, if the elder brother is not around, something will be missing.

"...Where is Princess Jing'an?"

Xie Xingyun said: "There will be no problem."

Bai Xianyu let go of his heart a little bit, "Yeah."

"After we got married, we moved to another mansion." Xie Xingyun smelled the faint fragrance of rose flowers on her body, "You can take care of the trivial matters of the family as you like. If you find it troublesome, I will ask someone to take care of them."

Bai Xianyu was the mistress of the Hou Mansion in her previous life. She managed all the farms, shops and other property. The second brother managed the accounts at a young age.

Although in a certain sense, it is very fulfilling to manage such a large family in an orderly manner, but it is also really tiring.

Hearing what Xie Xingyun said, the burden in her heart became a little lighter.

Bai Xianyu leaned into his arms wholeheartedly, and asked with a smile, "Where is the house?"

"You'll know then."

Bai Xianyu glanced at him, "It's still a secret."

Xie Xingyun smiled without saying a word.

The two looked at each other for a long time, their lips gradually pressed together, and the sound of the rain covered many sounds.

……

The day after tomorrow, the gates of Kyoto were opened wide.

The moat was shimmering, and dozens of imperial guards on the city wall were dressed in iron armor and golden scales, with long spears standing tall, majestic and unstoppable.

Many people have heard the news of Bai Tanshen's return from victory, and many famous families have opened private rooms in nearby restaurants and teahouses, with bead curtains hung on golden hooks, accompanied by fine wine and side dishes. waiting.

Many of the courtiers took their families with them, and the wives took the girls who had not left the cabinet to sit in the private room and watch.

Bai Tanshen has done such a thing at such a young age, so he is a son-in-law who rides a dragon quickly in the eyes of many people.

I usually don't see people, but now I have a reason to be aboveboard, so I can take a good look.

"I heard that during the Battle of Nanjinhe, General Bai deployed the eight-door Golden Lock Formation to lure the enemy deep, and killed nearly [-] soldiers from the Xiyi Kingdom!"

"Really relieve your anger! The Xiyi people have tortured and killed us countless innocent people. Whenever the Xiyi people break down the city and slaughter all women, children, old and young in the city, they still want to send troops south. It is simply fantastic!"

"..."

The girls who couldn't get a private room stood on the street with faces like spring flowers, holding baskets full of flowers in their hands.

Bai Xianyu is riding a white horse, wearing a gold and silver silk flowing brocade dress, her calves are wrapped in white peony and peony pattern boots, her black hair is pulled into a bun with flying clouds, and she looks beautiful.

In front of her were her brothers, the third brother was wearing red court clothes, the second and fourth brothers were wearing ordinary clothes, one was elegant and the other was high-spirited.

The stage was set up in the Liuli Palace, and the dancing girls' sleeves were layered like clouds, and 460 tables were hosted. The guests were either royal family members or dignitaries.

Emperor Wuxuan ordered the fifth prince to go out of the city to greet him, and he was beside Bai Xianyu and others.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, horseshoes sounded from the distant horizon.

Bai Xianyu lifted his spirits and looked up——

The soldiers were divided into two rows, with stern expressions, and the terrifying murderous aura could be felt from a long distance away.

The person at the front is wearing black armor, his helmet has been taken off, his high horse tail is fluttering in the wind, his eyebrows are like distant mountains, his thin lips are tightly pursed, and his eyes are deep and determined.

Bai Tanshen led a group of soldiers to the city gate, the condescending sense of oppression on his body became stronger, he slightly lowered his eyes, and nodded to the leader of the imperial guards.

The leader of the Imperial Guard couldn't help shaking his hands.

The young man in front of him was a person who had really been soaked in the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. He had a peaceful look, and there was a bit of ferocity hidden in the bottom of his eyes.

He swallowed his saliva, and suddenly said, "Welcome to the general's triumphant return!"

As soon as these words came out, countless people echoed, and they all fell to the ground, both respectful and fearful, "Welcome to the triumphant return of the general!!"

"Welcome to the triumphant return of the general!"

Bai Tan's deep gaze, across the sea of ​​people, looked at his younger siblings at home, seeing Yaomei sitting pretty on the horse, winking at him, he suddenly smiled.

According to the rules of etiquette, the commander of the imperial guards, after nine beeps, everyone fell silent.

As for the people whose atmosphere was ignited, their excited voices gradually stopped when they saw the leader of the imperial guards making a gesture.

The imperial guards saluted again, and in an instant, gongs and drums were ringing in front of the wall door.

Da Kui welcomed their God of War back.

For a long time, Bai Tanshen's existence was an irreplaceable, unprecedented sense of security!

Because Da Kui is strong and powerful, since the eldest son of the Bai family!
Bai Xianyu was equally excited, if it wasn't for the current situation where she couldn't make a sound and had to maintain a dignified and elegant appearance, she would also like to shout a few words.

The fifth prince took the lead, rode his horse up to Bai Tanshen, cupped his hands and said, "General Bai, Emperor Father has set up a celebration banquet in Liuli Palace, please come with me."

Bai Tan glanced at him deeply, his eyes were neither hot nor cold, "Thank you."

The envoys of the Xiyi Kingdom will also arrive today, but it seems that they are a bit slow. The fifth prince dare not neglect, nor dare to let this killing god wait here, and leave after a moment of consideration.

As soon as Bai Tanshen left, Bai Xianyu and others would naturally follow. As for the envoys, the officials of Honglu Temple were still here, and everything was done according to the regulations.

Before arriving at the Liuli Palace, Bai Tanshen had been with the soldiers who should be rewarded for their meritorious deeds this time, unable to have a good talk with Bai Xianyu and others.

The expressions of Bai Jingyuan and Bai Mohuai gradually became serious as they got closer to the Liuli Palace.

Thinking of what he said to his second and third brothers yesterday, Bai Xianyu was a little worried, and wondered if these things would change in this life.

If it is true as she said, then the second brother and the third brother will definitely get serious and will not let the situation develop.

Bai Tanshen did not attend the seat immediately.

Emperor Wu Xuan summoned them in Chengde Hall.

Bai Xianyu sat at the banquet, and Xie Xingyun was right in front of her. He seemed to have been here for a long time, and he was dozing off with his eyes closed. As if he could sense her gaze, the man slightly raised his eyelids.

Bai Xianyu looked around him wanting to hide it, Xie Xingyun smiled slightly, and looked away at the right time.

For some reason, Bai Xianyu looked at her legs strangely. Whenever she saw Xie Xingyun these days, she wanted to rush over to hug him.

It felt like a feather was scratching in my heart.

If she wasn't in front of the public now, she might have really rushed over...

What Bai Xianyu didn't know was that this scene fell into Bai Jinyan's eyes, and he rarely frowned, "Sister, who were you laughing at just now?"

The big ice cube in the academy, with such a sudden smile, could almost blind his eyes!
Bai Xianyu was taken aback for a moment, "No."

Bai Jinyan glanced at the two of them faintly, and just when the girl wanted to explain again, he suddenly smiled, "It's fine if you don't, the rumors about the two of you spread all over the capital a while ago."

Bai Xianyu remained silent, pretending to be calm and eating the appetizers.

Bai Jinyan moved closer to her, and said mysteriously, "Do you know what's being said outside?"

Bai Xianyu shook his head following his words.

"It's said that Xie Xingyun has a deep affection for you, and if you don't want to marry him, he's still showing his heart to you in the teahouse!"

Bai Xianyu: "... Keep your voice down."

Bai Jinyan didn't notice anything unusual, and there was a smug smile on his face, with the attitude of a playboy, "I'm surprised, I was also surprised when I heard my friend say that at the time, Xie Xingyun usually has a cold heart and a cold heart." How could you still do such a thing? I didn't believe it at first, but when I heard from my friend that the person he likes is you, I felt..."

He used a calm but proud tone, and said with a smile: "You have a good vision!"

It's no surprise that everyone likes his sister!
Even if he is Xie Xingyun, he can only have unrequited love!
As expected of his sister!

Bai Jinyan swept away the depression just now, took a big sip of tea, and watched the dance with great interest.

Bai Xianyu held his forehead with a guilty conscience.

The fourth brother was bored at home, and his memory was still stuck in the time when she said word by word that she had no interest in Xie Xingyun, and he was not very clear about what happened in Liangzhou.

However, let the fourth brother be happy for now.

After about half an hour, the people in Chengde Hall came out one after another.

With a deep complexion, Bai Tan came to sit next to Bai Xianyu, and placed the long sword in front of the table.

When Bai Xianyu heard the voice, he turned his head and saw Bai Tanshen, his eyes lit up immediately, "Brother!"

Bai Mohuai and the others also smiled slightly, and Bai Tanshen exchanged glances with everyone before nodding his head slightly.

"Brother, I feel that you seem to be a little thinner and darker. Is the sun over there too big?"

"Well, the sun and the wind and sand are strong in the northwest."

Bai Xianyu's eyes kept falling on Bai Tanshen, and he said worriedly: "Brother, did you have any new injuries?"

Even though she knew little about the frontier war, she also knew the tragedy of this battle.

Bai Tan was silent for a long time, but finally couldn't resist her concerned eyes, and compromised: "There are a few arrow wounds."

"where!"

"Healed up," he picked up the wine glass, "I only have a few arrow wounds on my body, but the shooter is dead."

The young man said lightly, but Bai Xianyu could hear a bit of danger from it. She knew that it was normal to be injured, but she was still worried, "There are many famous doctors in Kyoto, can you let them visit again after returning home?"

Bai Tan's heart warmed, "Yes."

"Are you having fun in Liangzhou?"

When Bai Xianyu learned that her mother was not born to her grandmother, she sent a letter to each of them. Although Bai Tanshen was the last to receive it, she knew her current situation quite well.

"Happy." Bai Xianyu smiled sincerely: "Brother, how long are you going to stay in Kyoto this time?"

Bai Tan shook his head deeply, "I don't know, if there is a battle, go to it, if there is no battle, then stop."

At this time, the eunuchs sang: "The emperor is here! The queen is here!"

Everyone stood up and saluted.

Emperor Wuxuan sat on the dragon chair, exhausted visible to the naked eye. He was over 30 years old, but because the late emperor left early, he had sat on the throne for many years.

Bai Xianyu suppressed the complex emotions in his eyes and sat down.

In front of the Liuli Palace, a few foreigners with big arms and round waists were crossing their waists, their eyes wandering around, like greedy wolves.

The leader's hat is decorated with various gemstones, and he wears a wolf's tooth necklace around his neck.

The officials of Honglu Temple gave them some advice and then led them into their seats.

Moderate location.

However, at this moment, the eyes of Bai Xianyu and the others fell on the concubine sitting in front of her.

Bai Mohuai stretched out a finger, "Queen."

Bai Xianyu nodded subconsciously. A few days ago, in order to prove that the "precognitive dream" she said was true, she mentioned the concubines who would be present at this glazed banquet.

She took his words, looked at the beautiful face who walked forward not far away, "An Guifei."

Bai Jingyuan frowned. The empress and concubine often attend banquets, which can't prove anything, except for the noble lady behind.

It's not well known, if he really attended, it means that Xiao Yu'er's prophetic dream is indeed accurate.

But when the last concubine was seated, the three of them were stunned at the same time.

"...Is this Mr. Wang Guiren?"
