The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 510 The excuse is justified

Chapter 510 The excuse is justified

Li Jing was worried about his daughter's safety, and when he was about to ask Bai Jingyi about it, Li Anran appeared at the door of Bai Jingyi's study in a timely manner.

"Father, why are you here?"

Li Anran did not expect that Li Jing would come to her at such a time.

She was originally practicing guns in the martial arts field, but when she heard the news of Li Jing's arrival, she stopped practicing with guns and rushed to Bai Jingyi's study.

Li Anran originally thought that someone was teasing her with this news, but she didn't expect to see her father in Bai Jingyi's study.

When Li Jing saw Li Anran, he was startled for a while.

It seems that those rumors are all false!Isn't daughter Li Anran standing in front of her properly now?

"Father? What's the matter with you?" Seeing that Li Jing didn't respond, Li Anran felt very puzzled, and hurriedly raised her hand and shook it twice in front of Li Jing.

Only then did Li Jing come to his senses, and laughed dryly: "It's nothing, it's just that Daddy hasn't seen you for a long time, so he can't react a little bit."

Li Jing quickly retracted those messy thoughts.

Nothing happened to Li Anran, and now he is still standing in front of him, this is the best ending for him.

At this time, Li Jing also realized that just now he was guilty of being a thief, so he thought too much, so he thought that Bai Jingyi would attack Li Anran.

However, in the scene just now, didn't Bai Jingyi really intend to mislead him and make him panic?

Li Jing sneaked a glance at Bai Jingyi, but Bai Jingyi's expression was indifferent, as if he just played some tricks.

The more this was the case, the more embarrassed Li Jing became - and he didn't dare to ask Bai Jingyi about the assassin.

"Why do you want to come here today?"

Seeing Bai Jingyi's calm expression, Li Anran didn't look like the two of them were talking about business.

"I came here on a whim." Li Jing smiled, not letting Li Anran see anything wrong.

Bai Jingyi watched the father and daughter exchange pleasantries for a while, before interrupting them: "Mr. Wei might as well stay and have a meal together before leaving. Bai will let someone prepare the food and drinks."

Li Jing was in a dilemma when he heard this.

He didn't intend to stay in the White Mansion for a long time. He originally planned to go to the palace immediately after hearing about Li Eryao's assassin, hand over the news to Li Er, and then go home directly.

Although the focus this time was to work for Li Er, Li Jing had finally seen Li Anran once, but he still couldn't walk.

Moreover, his mission has not been completed yet, so it is not very good for him to ask Bai Jingyi directly about this matter, lest Bai Jingyi suspect him and have any warning against him.

So, this time he had to stay.

Li Jing was worried that he would not be able to get information related to the assassin, while Bai Jingyi needed Li Jing to give Li Er the clues he needed to let Li Er know.

So Bai Jingyi quickly gave Li Jing an excuse to continue looking for opportunities to chat.

At the wine table and dinner table, it will be easier to talk about the daily life and some special topics.

Part of the reason why Bai Jingyi proposed to have dinner together was to give Li Jing a chance to ask him questions.

Although Li Jing wanted to return home, but with this excellent opportunity to find out the news, and being able to have dinner at the same table with his daughter, the balance of this choice soon tilted towards the option of staying.

"The old man is more respectful than obedient."

After confirming that he wanted to stay and complete the unfinished things, Li Jing didn't write any ink, and quickly bowed his hands and decided to stay.

The speed of preparing food in the White House has always been quite fast, and the level is beyond what ordinary officials and eunuchs can see.

Because Li Jing is Li Anran's father, even if Bai Jingyi set up a trick for Li Jing, and this time the dinner was just digging a hole for Li Jing, Bai Jingyi never thought that it would be a bad idea to get something. Something like that came out to fool him.

He was not at the same level as Li Er in entertaining Li Jing.

Even if he wants to use Li Jing, Bai Jingyi will definitely make Li Jing comfortable and clear.

Therefore, when Li Jing saw Bai Jingyi take out the vintage wine, his eyes widened.

It never occurred to him that Bai Jingyi was just treating him to a meal, yet he could still bring out such a precious wine.

Li Jing took a sip of the wine, looked at the expensive rare wine in his hand, and at the well-raised Li Anran beside him, he slowly let go of his heart that had been hanging all this time.

It was precisely because he was relieved that he lowered his vigilance towards Bai Jingyi, so he asked: "General Bai, may I ask if you have heard of the large-scale assassination incident in Chang'an City?"

The big fish is hooked!
Bai Jingyi was very happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just said lightly: "I heard."

"Then, General Bai, do you have any opinion, or do you have any clues to find out who is behind these assassins?"

Li Jing's words were straightforward, and Bai Jingyi took advantage of the situation to get straight to the point, saying, "I don't have any ideas, but Duke Wei is interested in this matter?"

Li Jing was not interested in this matter at all, but he couldn't tell Bai Jingyi that he was doing something for Li Er, and it wasn't him who was interested, but Li Er.

If he said that, Li Jing was not only worried that he would not get any clues, but also that he might be swept out of the house by Bai Jingyi.

Therefore, Li Jing had no choice but to bite the bullet and said with a smile: "Yes, after all, this matter involves a lot of people and has a very bad impact. The old man thought, no matter what, he must do something for the people of Chang'an City."

Li Jing glanced at Bai Jingyi, saw that Bai Jingyi didn't move, and then said: "These assassins are devoid of conscience, everyone can punish them, if these rats are not dealt with cleanly, Chang'an City will not be able to achieve peace .”

Good excuse.

Taking advantage of Li Jing's words, Bai Jingyi quickly answered, "Duke Wei has a deep love for the people. Since this is the case, Bai will not hide it."

When Li Jing heard the words, he felt that there was something interesting, and immediately pricked up his ears: "It seems that the King of Beiliang has some clues here?"

"It's not a clue, Bai just followed the clues and found the thief's tail."

"And then!" Li Jing was very curious about what kind of evidence Bai Jingyi had.

"Those assassins are from the southern vassal state."

Southern vassal state!
Li Jing was even a little dazed when he heard these five words.

How did the princes of the southern vassal states get involved in this kind of thing?
Moreover, this kind of large-scale assassination, the assassination of the Holy One and the assassination of Princess Changle, what good is it for them?
Li Jing thought hard, but still couldn't figure out what benefit this kind of behavior would have on those princes.
