There's no way, who told Bai Yi to be born of a concubine, and Young Master Bai to be born in the royal family!

Although Bai Yi has been far superior to his elder brother in his studies since he was a child, no matter the art of war, martial arts or knowledge, but as long as he wears the hat of being a concubine, he will not be able to stand out for half his life.Even if he joins the army, he still has to live under the shadow of the Bai family.

So, seeing that his father didn't intend to arrange a future for him, Bai Yi went to the south of the Yangtze River, where he mingled with the reckless rivers and lakes and stayed there for two years.

In the two years since he left the capital, the Bai family had always been doing well. He didn't want the young master of the Bai family to pet a firework girl at the border. For her, he spent money like running water and saved up all his savings. He didn't dare to ask his old father for money. , Actually moved the idea of ​​​​military pay.

This matter of military pay has always been big or small, General Bai also has a deep foundation in the court, and those who knew that Young Master Bai embezzled military pay to support the oiran all helped to hide it.Who would have thought that when the Huns invaded the border, the wars were retreating steadily, Emperor Cang was furious and ordered the fifth prince to supervise the army at the border, and King Duan acted harshly, and found out this matter within a month after arriving at the border.

Thus, First Young Master Bai was beheaded. Although General Bai was not severely punished, his authority was also emptied.Of course, everyone understands that this matter is a heavy sentence, and the crime of Young Master Bai is not enough to be sentenced to death. It is clear that King Duan took the opportunity to hand over the military power to the prince's confidants.Who told this white old man not to know what is good or bad, but at the critical moment of the battle for the reserve position, he relied on his old man to sell his old man, in order to get a good price, so - was used by Duan Wang for surgery.

Just when everyone thought that the Bai family would never recover from a slump, Bai Yi, who was lying in the south of the Yangtze River, suddenly returned to Beijing. He had a secret conversation with the fifth prince, borrowed a military amulet, and wiped out the evil cult that had plagued Jiangnan for decades. All the party leaders and members of the Nunnery in the south of the Yangtze River were captured alive, and they made great contributions to revitalizing the Bai family.

Following the beheading of the leader of the Yinian sect, Yi, the second son of the Bai family, made great achievements in exterminating the cult, and was named the Minister of the Ministry of War. Glory seemed to return to the Bai family overnight.However, those who understood the direction of the situation in the court laughed: The Bai family could not regain its former glory. The current Bai family is just a running dog raised by the crown prince and King Duan.

Moreover, although Yi-Nijiao is a thorn in the court's eyes, it is a cult in the martial arts population, but countless people sincerely follow it, and many courtiers also secretly believe in Yi-Nijiao. To kill Yi-Nijiao is to commit public outrage.In addition, Bai Yi was eager to make meritorious deeds, and he actually killed tens of thousands of women, children, old and young in the village where the Neptunians lived together. The news of this brutal and inhumane incident aggravated the world's contempt for Bai Yi.

So, after the Yi Nijiao incident ended, Bai Yi's troubles had just begun.Every month, people from all walks of life would come to Bai Yi to say hello, after several months, everyone in the White House was exhausted physically and mentally.

But even if he is physically and mentally exhausted, King Duan's visit cannot be neglected.

Bai Yi rubbed his tired eyes, last night there were people from Jianghu who came to provoke him, and they made a fuss for a long time before repelling them.

Emperor Cang was fasting in the Taimiao, and the prince presided over the morning court these days, and he knew that the prince didn't rely on him very much.After all, he gained his current fame by betraying his friends, who in the government and the public really think highly of him as a concubine?

Duan Wang was the only force he could rely on in the end.

Even if King Duan only regards him as a knife or a dog, he also knows that as long as he is still useful, King Duan will not abandon him.But if he has no value, or if a more valuable knife or dog appears, King Duan will also abandon him!

Sadly, after betraying Su Yunming's friendship, he can only cling to a bloodless and tearless monster like Duan Wang!

While thinking, King Duan's sedan chair had already arrived at the door, and Bai Yi hurried out to greet him.

"Prince Duan's visit is not far away, and I hope you will forgive me."

"Looking at your face, I didn't sleep well last night. Is it those Jiang Hu Xiao Xiao who came again?"

King Duan glanced at Bai Yi, and said expressionlessly, Bai Yi knew that the master didn't care about his life at all, so he didn't explain much.

In the beginning, the people who killed him were all members of the Yi-Ni sect, and they sought him out to avenge Su Yunming.Afterwards, King Duan intentionally conveyed the massacre of tens of thousands of followers of the Yi-Ni sect to the world as a military exploit. Therefore, the famous martial arts masters who originally praised him for destroying the Jiangnan branch of the demon sect all criticized him for his atrocities, and the visitors in the middle of the night He has also become a self-proclaimed righteous knight-errant.

Duan Wang just wanted to use his hand to eradicate the forces in the world.

It's not that Bai Yi has never regretted his original decision. If he hadn't betrayed Su Yunming, he would still be in the south of the Yangtze River at this moment, playing chess and wine, discussing martial arts and playing the piano with Yun Ming, who has a calm personality, but——

There is no past, just thinking about maybe countless times.

On the day Su Yunming was beheaded, Bai Yi didn't go. After all, he couldn't bear to see such a proud person finally fall.It's not that Bai Yi was sorry for him, nor did she feel ashamed to see him, just looking at him, she would think, if...

"Bai Yi, you've been a little absent-minded recently."

Duan Wang, who was sitting in the hall drinking tea, pierced Bai Yi's distraction with a sneer.

"Wei Chen dare not."

Bai Yi felt the cold, this King Duan has always been ruthless, so it's possible that he accidentally offended him at some point.

"Don't talk in that tone, as if I'm going to eat you."

The tone was actually a joke, Bai Yi's heart shuddered.

There have always been rumors among the courtiers that King Duan never joked, he only joked when he was in the best mood and when he was in the worst mood.Bai Yi could see that at this moment, King Duan was definitely not in a good mood, so...his joke could only be due to another reason—he was in an extremely bad mood, and moreover, this bad mood was aimed at himself of!

Thinking of this, Bai Yi quickly knelt down, kowtowed and said: "My servant is terrified!"

"Afraid? Do you know why this king came to your place today?"

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, Duan Wang took a sip of his tea and looked at Bai Yi.

Bai Yi was covered in cold sweat from his eyes - his eyes were venomous and cold, and Bai Yi's back was cold, as if being scrutinized by a poisonous boa constrictor.

"The humble minister is dull and doesn't understand the prince's intentions."

Duan Wang smiled, his smile was sharper than a needle.

"Actually, this matter is also very simple to say. The prince recently hired a new beauty, and that beauty is also charming, serving the prince in a happy mood and refreshed. But—"

Speaking of this, King Duan paused, and countless thoughts turned in Bai Yi's mind.

Could it be that beauty...

Duan Wang deliberately let him think wildly, he tilted his feet, looked at Bai Yi playfully, watched Bai Yi's handsome face turn from white to red and then to black, and finally turned back to white slowly, savoring, enjoying, playing with his opponent The pleasure in the palm filled him, and finally, after confirming that Bai Yi had been tormented a little too much, he said leisurely:

"That beauty has a deep connection with the Yi Ni religion. He took advantage of the prince's love for him and poisoned the prince. I want the king to exchange your head for the antidote."

really!

There was a roar in Bai Yi's mind. He knew that the Yi Nijiao hated him deeply, but he didn't expect that King Duan would so directly reveal the matter of exchanging his life for the antidote. When your head is exchanged for the antidote", he didn't feel any grief and indignation at being betrayed, but he felt a little relieved.

"Then, the prince is here to borrow the head of the humble minister?"

He tried his best to calm down, clenched his hands hidden under his sleeves, gathered his strength, and prepared to fight to the death.

But King Duan shook his head and said something that surprised Bai Yi.

"No, I'm not here to take your head."

"Don't want my head?"

Who in the world doesn't know that Bai Yi is an ungrateful person who can be punished by everyone, and who in the government and the public don't know the weight of the crown prince in the heart of Duan Wang?If the prince needed it, he would not hesitate for a moment even if he asked Duan Wang to dig out his own heart.Now, the crown prince has been poisoned, how could King Duan be reluctant to bear Bai Yi's head!

"Yeah, I'm also very strange. You can get the antidote by simply taking your head. Why do I not want to borrow your head when I come to you? Are you really worried that you won't be able to return it after borrowing it?"

Pretending to be distressed, Wang Duan frowned gracefully, but in Bai Yi's eyes, this expression only meant hypocrisy and cruelty!

Who can borrow a head and return it!

Bai Yi cursed secretly in his heart, but he still pretended to be humble, and advised: "My lord, the crown prince's dragon body is a major matter related to the country and the country. What are you reluctant to do?"

Of course, at the same time as he said these righteous words, Bai Yi also decided that if King Duan really took the opportunity to want his own head, he would hold King Duan hostage on the spot and leave the court.From now on, hide his identity, or go to the Western Regions, or go to the Huns, there is always a place for him to live.

It's a pity that he underestimated King Duan's palace.

After listening to his words, Duan Wang smiled very brightly, seeing his smile, Bai Yi felt even more piercing cold. ,

Duan Wang's smile has always been associated with terrible things.

Such a bright smile at this moment, Bai Yi only saw it twice, one time was the day when the crown prince was appointed, and the other time was when he accompanied King Duan to watch the women and children of the Yi Ni sect being hacked to death.On the day when the crown prince was established, King Duan smiled brightly, because the person he was thinking of was finally only one step away from success.Before the sea of ​​blood, he smiled because he had removed another obstacle for his crown prince.

Now, seeing Duan Wang's smile again, Bai Yi felt as if a bucket of ice water was being poured from his head.

As for Duan Wang, he still enjoys his worries and fears leisurely, drinking his tea intently, and only starts again when he feels enough.
