Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 736 The old friend is not there
In the evening, Su Bai drank wine and chatted with Mr. Lu, and it was enjoyable. But when Mrs. Lu asked about his family, Su Bai's eyes darkened. His family should be there, but unfortunately they are not here. The world, the so-called parting of life and death, is probably like this.

Seeing Su Bai's expression, Mr. Lu thought that Su Bai's family members were gone long ago. He glared at Mrs. Lu and said, "You have to say a few words! Even dumplings can't stop your mouth!"

Mrs. Lu nodded understandingly and said: "Yes, yes, Xiaobai, this will be your home from now on, and we welcome you back anytime!"

Su Bai smiled moved, nodded and said: "The old man and the old lady are kind to me, I know, even if you don't say that, I will definitely come to you when I return to Shangjing, otherwise where would I go!"

"Hehe, that's good! But Xiaobai, you're not young anymore, it's time to get a wife, don't be like a third son, a 30-year-old who still spends time outside all day long! Don't you Tender to learn from him!" The old lady chuckled, talking about the family's shortcomings, scolding the mistress.

Su Bai nodded in agreement. Originally, he should feel impatient with these long-winded words. After all, before crossing, although he was not yet at the age of being forced to marry, he was already very tired of facing his parents' nagging at home. Impatient, but now he doesn't feel this way, but his heart is warm.

A New Year's Eve dinner ended in a warm atmosphere, and when the first lunar month entered, Su Bai found that few of the officials who had paid New Year's greetings in the Lu Mansion in the past came this year. The older one should be Mr. Lu's friend for many years.

Su Bai secretly sighed, this is officialdom!As long as you step down, others will naturally stop fawning on you. Of course, not only in officialdom, but also in other places.

Last year, just after the new year, Zao Wou-ki made a big move and directly launched a crusade against the two princes, but it was a pity that he failed. This year the prince was established, and the situation seemed to be stable, but just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month , It seems that the court has moved to transfer troops again, which makes the ministers in the court very nervous. Is this going to war again?Who will we attack this time?

Zhao Wuji's edict did not make everyone wait for a long time, it came down very quickly, the one who wanted to attack was none other than Shangguan Empress, that's right, it was not the Eleventh Prince, but Shangguan Empress, the reason was very simple and sufficient.

Back then when Empress Shangguan took the eleventh prince away from Shangjing, she killed the eldest prince!This is no longer a matter of hatred, but a contempt for the royal family. If there is no crusade, what will the people of the world think of the royal Zhao family!

This time Zhao Wuji didn't go on a personal conquest, but sent the second prince, the present prince Zhao Chen, to crusade.

Of course the second prince will take orders. After all, the empress Shangguan has indeed made a big mistake and must be wiped out. Even if the fifth prince and the seventh prince surrender to the court, they can have a good death, and the worst is house arrest. The queen has only one end—death!

People in the world unexpectedly supported the imperial court's decision to crusade against Empress Shangguan. The reason was naturally that Empress Shangguan killed the eldest prince. This matter must not end so simply. Of course, Emperor Zhao Wuji had more things to think about.

He now understands that the four thousand-year-old families each supported a prince to fight for the throne. Fighting for his throne, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. The first prince is the crown prince, and he is not pretending to be the crown prince, but he really established the crown prince like this!

This is forcibly pulling a family onto his chariot, and he is also very clear that let's not talk about the four thousand-year-old families, just talk about his sons, and he is definitely not a person who gives up lightly, no matter whether the second prince is or not. If he wanted to, he would invite confrontation from the fifth prince and the seventh prince, but in the past half a year or so, all parties have been very restrained, and there was no fight.

This is of course impossible, so he immediately made a move after the Chinese New Year. Don't you guys stop fighting?I still want to let you do it!How could he not avenge his brother's revenge with such hatred?So his first target was the Empress Shangguan, a target that the Second Prince had to attack!
Of course, Zhao Wuji also wanted to see what kind of relationship and attitude the four thousand-year-old families had with each other. If the four families were against each other, then of course this battle would be inevitable, but if the four families were closely connected and had a good relationship, then this time It's hard to say how to deal with it in the future, and we have to think of other ways.

As soon as he ordered, the second prince Zhao Chen took the order, and he was indeed preparing for a big battle. Of course, Zhao Wuji would give his full support. With side support, it is bound to take down the Shangguan empress, or the Shangguan family in one fell swoop!

After hearing the news, Su Bai couldn't help but frowned. The Ji family didn't go back to Shangjing, but stayed in the south. Originally, a second prince became a prince, and the Ji family would come back, but now they didn't come back. , but was sent to the west to fight against Shangguan's house. Thinking about it, General Ji still wouldn't let his family go back to Beijing. It seems that he won't be able to see Xiaowu this time.

As for the matter of sending the second prince to attack the Shangguan empress, Su Bai was also somewhat uncertain, although when he was in the Dongfang family, Dongfang Qing told him about the relationship between the four thousand-year-old families, and he also knew that the four families would support each other this time. The reason for a prince, logically speaking, there is no need for the four families to fight to the death.

But what happened is hard to say now, at least Zhao Wuji's calculations are very accurate, let's not talk about the four thousand-year-old families, the second prince Zhao Chen can't lie, he must attack the Shangguan empress, it's just determined by his current status , it was also caused by Queen Shangguan killing the First Prince, there is no room for relaxation between the two sides, sooner or later there will be a war!Unless Shangguan Empress will take the initiative to plead guilty, but is this possible?

Once the second prince Zhao Chen really wanted to fight, the Dongfang family naturally couldn't stand by and watch, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with the Shangguan family with a second prince. Seeing that the victory of this four-family battle is about to belong to him, just let it fly?The Dongfang family would not agree.

Besides, judging from the previous arrangements of the Shangguan family, including even letting a young lady marry into the palace and become a queen, it is obvious that the other party is bound to win the throne. Maybe even if the second prince does not attack the Shangguan family, The Shangguan family will rebel against each other and fight for the throne. Now that the second prince has come directly to the door, there is no possibility of letting the other party go!
Therefore, in Su Bai's view, the battle between the second prince and the Shangguan family is inevitable, and the Dongfang family may also be involved in it, so they have to fight. The four thousand-year-old families, there is no room for relaxation this time. .

So should he intervene?Logically speaking, he has no contact with the Shangguan family, so it is impossible to help them. On the contrary, he has a very good relationship with the Dongfang family. Not only is he friends with Dongfang Qing, but in the Dongfang family, he also has a good impression of the owner of the Dongfang family. In addition, he has benefited from the "Mingxintan", no matter how he looks at it, he should help the Dongfang family!
But if he really helps the Dongfang family, and the second prince will face the fifth prince in the future, who will he help then?The fifth prince is his sworn brother, and he has a good relationship with the Dongfang family. Who should they help?

As soon as he thought of this, Su Bai suddenly became distressed, this kind of thing really is not easy to get mixed up, it is not easy to pull it out if it is inserted into the leg!It's better to retreat in time before you fall into it, and don't help each other!
After making up his mind, Su Bai didn't think about it any more. He thought that after the new year, he should go see his friends. The first thing he thought of was the old man. No matter what, the old man helped him Not only did he take him to the "Sword Burial Valley", but he was also told by the other party when he didn't understand the situation in the innate realm, so it was really unreasonable not to visit the other party when he came to Shangjing.

Thinking of this, Su Bai went out. Although he hadn't been to the old man's house a few times, but he had a pretty good memory, so he quickly found it. It was still in a dilapidated state. This time, I got used to coming here, pushed the door open and walked in, shouting: "Senior Yuan, junior Su Bai came to see you, and brought you good wine!"

Su Bai lifted the wine jar in his hand, the old man is also a good drinker, of course he can't bring nothing when he comes to the door, but after he yelled, but no one responded, Su Bai frowned suddenly, Although the old man is old, he doesn't have a bad ear at all. After all, he is a congenital master. Even if he is hard of hearing, he still has the ability to perceive. How could he not hear him come in.

Out of politeness, Su Bai didn't perceive the situation in the room just now, but when he heard no one responded, he felt it for a while, but found that there was no movement in the room, he raised his eyebrows, and the other party was not there.

After pondering for a moment, Su Bai didn't leave immediately, but directly pushed open the door of the room and walked in. As expected, there was no one in there, and Su Bai soon discovered that the old man seemed to have been away for a while, and there was a piece of paper on the table. With a thin layer of dust, no matter how sloppy the other party is, it is impossible for the table to become like this.

Did the other party really leave?But how is this possible!The old man had never left Shangjing for decades, as if he had been imprisoned here. The only time he left was when the "Sword Burial Valley" opened, but now it is far from the opening of the "Sword Burial Valley". For many years, the time was not right at all, so why did the old man leave?

Or did something else happen?

Su Bai didn't have a clue, he just asked other people, the first person he wanted to be, of course, was the thief Bai Zhuyue.
