Thousands of thoughts

Above the court hall, there was silence.

A group of courtiers looked at the lord of the state teacher who stood in the center of the court hall, bowing his head and pleading guilty.

The emperor looked at the sharp dagger in Eunuch Zhou's hand, and asked in confusion [Aiqing, what do you mean by this? 】

As soon as he came to the court, Bai You said that he had something to do, and then asked Eunuch Zhou to put up the dagger he brought.

[Three days ago, the prince visited the National Teacher's Mansion late at night, and the minister only found out about the fact that the prince had been cut off, and he was deeply saddened.Presumably the emperor was also very sad.However, the prince insisted that the person who assassinated the prince was related to the minister, and he was limited to hand over the assassin within three days.Today is the third day of the deadline] Baiyou's tone was sincere and low [I naturally cannot hand over the so-called assassin, if the prince wants to impose this crime on the minister, then the minister can only implore the emperor to personally cut off the left hand of the humble minister to show his innocence, and release the prince Hatred. 】

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was in an uproar.

This……

The fact that the prince's siblings were cut off for no reason shocked the court.

Afterwards, Baiyou Guoshi, who was involved in this matter, did not go to the morning court for many days.

Unexpectedly, he said something amazing early in the morning.Unexpectedly, this seemingly thin and frail body has such an amazing backbone!

[This...] The emperor was speechless.After that day, he was busy taking care of the injured and unconscious Huo Mingli, while sending people to find out the truth, Huo Mingli insisted that it was Bai You's fault.But Baiyou has always been the national teacher respected by all the people in the Fire Feather Kingdom, and he is a humble person, so how could he do such a thing?If he really did such a thing, how should he deal with it?The emperor has been troubled by these problems for a while.

【The courtiers who were drunk at the banquet that day were also chaotic. I really don't remember what happened that day. I only said that I was taken captive, beaten unconscious in a dark alley, and was later found by passers-by and sent back to the mansion.After waking up, I had a splitting headache, and the important and confidential letters on my body were also taken away. 】Baiyou spoke earnestly【But if the prince insists on making amends, this is the only thing I can do. 】

【emperor! ] As soon as Bai You finished speaking, General Hufeng, who had a broad face and thick brows, couldn't listen anymore, and came out and said [As a national teacher, Lord Bai You loves his people and has always been admired by others, how could he do such a cruel thing? ?And in this matter, he is also one of the victims.This time the national teacher did not hesitate to cut off his left hand to reassure the prince, such kindness and righteousness are really rare.The emperor must think twice, and must not let the real murderer go free! 】

【Your Majesty, I also agree with General Tiger's statement.Master Bai has always been gentle with others, the real culprit must have deliberately wanted to cause internal strife in the court!Don't let Master Bai take the blame for this! ! ! ] Liu Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials with an upright face, also stood up to speak.

【The emperor, the ministers and others also agree with the opinions of the two adults. 】

【emperor……】

【emperor……】

【…】

In the court hall, several ministers stood behind Bai You, supporting the national teacher.

Seeing the reaction of all the ministers, the emperor finally said [What are you talking about?The national teacher is obvious to all, so how could I make a decisive decision?The national teacher's heart to protect the prince this time deserves to be commended!I will send someone to investigate this matter and return the prince to justice.As for the misunderstanding caused by the crown prince's own opinion, the national teacher must also be considerate and don't take things to heart. 】

【Thank you, Your Majesty! 】 Baiyou replied respectfully.

Bai You spoke with sincerity.At the beginning, he said that he was willing to sacrifice a hand in exchange for the peace of the prince to show his heart to protect the prince, but in his words, he revealed the prince's arrogance and unreasonable obscurity, and everyone naturally sided with Bai You.If the emperor blames Bai You for cutting off his left hand, then he is a foolish emperor who does not distinguish between reason and selfishness; if he does not blame Bai You but decides to find out about this matter, then it means that there is no need to worry about the matter. Because it's impossible for them to find anything.And since the emperor has spoken about this matter, Huo Mingli has no reason to trouble Bai You privately, and let everyone think that Bai You is standing on the prince's side.

[Guo Shi is really good at acting! 】As soon as he left the court, the thoughtful and scheming Prime Minister Sima Shen walked over with his back bent and gave Bai You a thumbs up.

【My lord prime minister, what does this mean? ] Baiyou sneered.

【Don't think the old man doesn't know, you have always been at odds with the prince, and you are close to the second prince. 】Sima Kun looked at him and said 【You can fool them, but you can't fool me! 】

[If the prime minister is not convinced, he can report the matter to the emperor to see if he believes you? 】Bai You stepped forward, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth 【Still trust your eyes? 】

【you……! ! ! 】Sima Kun was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him, and finally he left angrily without a word to refute.

[Master Guoshi, what happened to the prime minister? ] Hu Feng, who followed, saw Sima Kun throwing his sleeves away after not saying a few words, and asked in doubt.

[I'm getting older, and my temper is somewhat bad. 】 Bai You said calmly.

【Is it? ] Hu Feng touched his head and said [It seems that in the future, I'd better talk to him less.By the way, why did the national teacher recommend me to the emperor just now to lead troops south? 】

[This time, the floods in the dark country in the south have hit unprecedented levels, and the floods are still increasing. The northern part of the dark country must be in chaos, and the southern border of our country will also be subject to frequent riots.General Hufeng has quelled chaos in southern Xinjiang many times before, and he is very familiar with water, so I hope that this trip to southern Xinjiang will eliminate the chaos, and the general can take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the dark country and come back to find out some facts. 】 Baiyou said respectfully.

[It turned out to be like this. 】Seeing Bai You's serious eyes, Hu Feng clasped his fists and replied 【National Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely live up to expectations. 】

In a remote room in the White Mansion.

Zisu Zisu brought the blindfolded Peony Qinghe to the lonely ghost.

[The two girls are really beautiful. ] The lonely ghost paced forward, looked around the trembling Mudan Qinghe, then turned around and asked Zisu and Zisu [What do you say? 】

[Looking good is good looking, but there is too much rouge on the face. 】Zisu held the flute in her hand and smiled gently.

With a serious face, Zi Su glanced at them and remained silent, holding tightly on the hilt of the Qingtian Bairi sword at his waist.

[My lord... My lord, spare me! 】Peony trembled and said.

[Why are you afraid of being like this? 】The lonely ghost said 【When you stole the Dragon Jade that day, you laughed like flowers and jade. 】

【I...I...didn't steal...】 Peony said timidly.

[If it wasn't her, then you stole it? 】Gu Gui turned to ask Qing He.

[It's not me... I didn't steal it either. 】Qing He hastily argued.

【oh?You didn't take it, so it ran away by itself? 】Gu Gui smiled brightly 【This is not easy to handle.Don't tell the truth~~The consequences are very serious. 】

[My lord... My lord, please spare me!I said, I said it was...] Peony was frightened out of her wits, and knelt down on the ground with a plop [The jade...has been given to Yinmao...it's not on us... Yinmao said...as long as we give the jade to her She, she... she returned the contract of sale to us... woo woo...]

[It scares you. 】The lonely ghost stepped forward to help Peony up, and gently comforted 【Crying and putting on make-up, it doesn't look good. 】

【The beauty returned safe and sound. 】As soon as Baiyou entered the mansion, the lonely ghost greeted him.

[Wow~~~ Young Master, you are back safely! 】Yan Zi happily surrounded her 【I knew the prince couldn't do anything to you!Very good! 】

【Brother~~~ You are back! 】Bai Chuan rushed over 【I'm so worried to death! 】

【Young master finally came back. 】 Shiro and the others followed suit.

[I just went to the morning court, what do you have to worry about? 】Bai You was baffled when he saw the crowd's rebellion.

[Hero Dugu said that today you are going to fight the court alone to the death.If you can't hand over the assassin, the emperor will lock you up!Come back so late, I thought you were really put in prison and left us. 】Bai Chuan said with a worried face.

Baiyou squinted at the lonely ghost, his eyes were not very friendly, and he had an iceberg expression of "Why are you scaring him when you're fine".

[He doesn't want to get up, so I just said it casually. ] The lonely ghost spread his arms and smiled harmlessly [But this trick is really effective. 】

[Dugu hero!You cheated on my feelings! ] Knowing the truth, Bai Chuan suddenly realized, and waved a palm at Gu Gui dissatisfied.

[Hehe~~~~ How can you blame me?Who told you not to get up and study hard...] The lonely ghost jumped back into the air, dodging the attack of the white tree.

[I could have slept a few more hours! ! 】Bai Chuan was not reconciled, and chased after him with the moves that Gu Gui taught him.

[Martial arts have improved!good! 】The lonely ghost boasted while fighting him.

The two fought farther and farther.

[Young master, this is Long Tengyu. 】Zi Su took out the well-wrapped Longteng Jade from his arms.

Bai You took it.

【It was the lonely ghost who found it. 】Zisu added a sentence.

Baiyou glanced at the lone ghost who was fighting with the white tree in the distance. Under the sunlight, he saw the red dress dancing lightly and flying beautifully.Bai You clenched the Dragon Jade tightly in her hand.

After staying in the mansion for a long time, it is impossible to say that he is not bored, let alone the active white tree.

When eating in the evening, Bai Chuan clamored to go out for a walk and buy the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Fanhua Lane.

【If you want to eat, ask Yanzi to buy it for you. 】 Baiyou said.

[Brother~~~ I want to go out for a stroll by myself!Staying in the mansion every day, I get moldy, if you don't believe me, hear it. 】As he spoke, Bai Chuan deliberately leaned forward and handed over his sleeves.

[You can't leave the house even if you grow moss. 】 Bai You still ate, said calmly.

【Brother~~~~】Bai Chuan stamped her feet anxiously.

[It's too messy outside at night, the young master is afraid that something will happen to you. 】Beside Shiro explained.

[I have learned a lot of martial arts now, it is absolutely safe, don't believe me, try it? 】Bai Chuan said again.

【oh? 】Baiyou raises an eyebrow

[Then I've made a move, brother, you have to be careful, don't get hurt by me! 】Bai Chuan kindly reminded, said as he rolled up his sleeves, concentrated his efforts, and slapped Bai You with a palm.

Immediately afterwards, there was Bai Chuan's own screaming [Ah~~pain~~~~brother, take it easy, my hand... oops... it hurts...]

Seeing that Bai You easily melted away Bai Chuan's palm and still sat upright, Bai Chuan was twisted behind his back by his backhand, frowning and screaming in pain.

Everyone tried their best to hold back their laughter and buried their heads in eating.

[Go to practice calligraphy after eating. 】Bai You lets go.

【elder brother!You are so cruel...] ​​Bai Chuan reluctantly lowered his head to pick up the rice, while still muttering [I'll just go out for a while, and I'll come back in a blink of an eye, can't I just go out for a while? ! !mean!Cheapskate! ! ! 】

Bai You pretended not to hear, and ate calmly.

At this moment, the lonely ghost got up and said [little guy, let me go with you. 】

【Really? ! ! ! 】Bai Zuo's face instantly glowed, and hope was rekindled.

Gu Gui glanced at Bai You, who was staring at him with a dark face, and nodded without fear of death.

【great! ! ! 】Bai Chuan applauds happily 【Now with the protection of Dugu Hero, it must be very safe!Osmanthus cake, here I come! 】

Now Bai You finally reacted and put down the bowl and chopsticks.

[Beauty, why don't you go together? 】Gu Gui invited and said 【I've never tasted that sweet-scented osmanthus cake. 】

【…】Bai You was speechless, her face looked a little scary.

In the end, Bai You was forced to go out with the two of them.

If he doesn't go, they don't know how crazy they will be, and whether they will come back is still a question.You know, letting such a ostentatious ghost go out with such a mischievous white tree is the most dangerous thing, okay?It is worthy of saying that like a teacher, there must be a disciple!
