Ghost King's Peerless Poison Concubine

Chapter 222 Snowy night, the fisherman and the fish (1)
However, Baili Yunjiu didn't want to talk to her more, so she didn't ask more, because his every move was calm and unhurried, which already answered the doubts in her heart.

At noon on the sixth day after leaving the wild forest, Baili Yunjiu's carriage drove into the boundary of the city, and the ten black-clothed men who accompanied the carriage all the way disappeared like ravens into the night, and instantly left the carriage. After disappearing, Baili Yunjiu also got out of the carriage and got into another carriage, which was plain on the outside and ordinary on the inside. Even the driver changed, and he did not forget to explain to Bai Liuli with a smile, "Going back to Sucheng, naturally Have the appearance that Prince Yun should have."

Bai Liuli only took his pulse once before changing the carriage, and asked him to take two pills before looking up at him, and asked quietly: "Baili Yunjiu, are you sure you will be safe and sound when you return to Sucheng? "

"Is Liuli worried about me?" Baili Yunjiu looked at Bai Liuli's eyes full of concern, looked at her delicate nose tip, and couldn't help raising his hand to gently scratch the tip of her nose, smiling lightly , "Liu Li just waits for me to marry you, don't worry about the rest."

"This time, no one can stop me."

Even so, when Baili Yunjiu's carriage arrived at the city gate, it was time for gate control, Bai Liuli's heart tightened, but as Baili Yunjiu said, don't worry, the carriage was not blocked at the city gate, The city guards let him go without even interrogating him, and then he heard the sound of horseshoes clattering suddenly, as if they were going in the direction of the king's city.

Baili Yunjiu closed his eyelids lightly, as if he was closing his eyes to rest his mind. Bai Liuli lightly opened the thick cotton curtain and looked towards the direction where the sound of horseshoes disappeared. to what extent?

If he had no power, Xia Houyi would not want to kill him, and the power in his hands must have reached the level of the Lord, so that Xia Houyi dared to involve the three great families in this so-called competition just to get rid of him. he.

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Bai Liuli's eyes, causing her to narrow her eyes slightly. Since Xia Houyi dared to involve the three great families in the matter of getting rid of Baili Yunjiu, Perhaps from the very beginning, he had the idea of ​​eradicating the three great families from Zeguo. Ten years ago, the three great families were at their peak, but now, only the Xiao family is still at its peak. It is easy to get rid of the family, just an opportunity, just charge them with a crime of treason like Baili Yunjiu's charge, the current Bai family and Xiao family will never escape the fate of extinction.

The decline of the Mu family, the Bai family, and even Prince Yun's mansion was due to a sudden change ten years ago. The head of the Bai family, Bai Zhi, and his three sons all died in battle. For ten years, although Xia Houyi had conferred titles on the Bai family and added titles to Mu Chi, the two families were still in decline year after year. As for Prince Yun's mansion, after the sudden death of Lord Yun, it was even worse than the Mu Bai two families. It must be forgotten by the world, but the decline of the three families has brought about the establishment and stability of Zeguo's dominance in Yaoyue.

"Great master..." The cold light in Bai Liuli's eyes flickered unsteadily, and the mist lingering in his heart because of the Bai Liuli of this world seemed to dissipate in an instant, looking at the girl who was only flickering with a few white lanterns. The dark street murmured.

"What did Liuli think of?" Although Bai Liuli's voice was so soft that only she could hear it, her voice barely fell, and the cool and faint voice of Baili Yunjiu sounded, and her slightly closed eyelids were already closed. Opening his eyes, his eyes fell on Bai Liuli's side face.

"It's nothing." Bai Liuli didn't look away at Baili Yunjiu, nor did he tell him what was in his heart. He just shook his head slightly and listened to Baili Yunjiu's words, "I will tell Liuli everything Liuli wants to know. .”

"Yeah." Bai Liuli turned her head to look at Baili Yunjiu, watching him slightly bend his eyebrows and eyes, "That was one of the most important reasons why I agreed to marry you back then, but it's not so important now."

"Really?" Baili Yunjiu also smiled faintly.

"Well." Because she found a more important reason than all the previous ones.

"Aren't you going to put on the mask when you go back to the city?" Bai Liuli's eyes and brows curled up a little with a smile on Baili Yunjiu's face, and she wanted to put down the opened car curtain and move to Baili Yunjiu's side , but when he looked at the street outside for the last time, he paused his movements.

Because, the street should be dark and maybe only a few houses with dim yellow lanterns in front of them, but at this time, nine out of ten houses have two white lanterns hanging in front of the porches!
This street is an area where wealthy merchants from the city live. Merchants have always believed in fate and Fengshui. They will definitely not hang two ominous white lanterns in front of their houses for no reason, and not just one family, but almost every household on the entire street. .

what happened?An ominous premonition floated in Bai Liuli's heart.

"Nine out of ten of the merchants living on this street have either received the kindness of the Xiao family, or have an inseparable relationship with the Xiao family in the business field." Seeing the scene outside, he only glanced at the pale white lantern coolly, then picked up the fang mask that was on the small table at hand, and put it on his face.

Bai Liuli put down the car curtain and fixed her eyes on the fang mask of Baili Yunjiu, as if waiting for him to finish what he hadn't finished speaking.

"There is a big funeral in the Xiao family, these businessmen naturally have to express their deep sorrow." Baili Yunjiu straightened the mask on his face, "Young master Xiao died, I don't know how the Xiao family is doing now."

Bai Liuli was startled, Xiao Anxin... died?
When the carriage of Baili Yunjiu just arrived at the gate of Wangcheng, the dark sky suddenly drifted with white snow. In front of the gate of Wangcheng, about twenty eunuchs and maids in two lines were waiting respectfully. Li Yunjiu's carriage stopped in front of the city gate, and the leading eunuch, who was about 35 years old, immediately raised his head and shouted respectfully: "Welcome Lord Yun back to the city!"

As soon as the leading eunuch's words fell, the remaining 20 people shouted the same thing in unison, and the voices of the 20 people were extremely ear-splitting in the cold winter night.

Baili Yunjiu in the carriage smiled lightly and said, "It turns out that if Eunuch Cao is not in the palace, there will still be people who can recognize my king's carriage. It's really embarrassing for Eunuch Cao."

As soon as Baili Yunjiu's words came out, a cold light flashed in the head eunuch's eyes, but it disappeared quickly, and immediately bowed his head and said humbly: "Lord Yun has a noble status, and I dare not ignore it."

"Really?" The voice of Baili Yunjiu in the carriage was as cold as the white snow falling from the sky, "The hard-working father-in-law led all these people here to welcome the king in the cold winter."

"It's the honor of the servants to welcome the prince, and I can't bear the word of hard work." The head eunuch bowed deeply again, and said with a little trepidation, "The servant has prepared the soft sedan chair by the order of the king. Waiting for the prince, please get off the carriage and take the sedan chair to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
