The Cao Mansion was completely empty overnight, and the officials and literati who came to hear the news blocked the front gate of the Cao Mansion early in the morning. Even the emperor ordered his personal palace servants to come. It seemed that the whole capital was plunged into sorrow because of his passing.

Cao Zhikui stopped protecting the Nanqiong Tavern four years ago, and there was a lot of trouble at that time, but no matter how noisy the group of literati were, he stayed behind closed doors in the mansion, and only said that he wanted to take care of himself for the rest of his life.

Bai Qi only met Cao Dishi twice, one time after he left Nanqiong Tavern, he handed over a post to invite them to discuss Nanqiu's national situation and the world situation together, Bai Qi made no secret of his ambition to dominate the world.

The second time was when Bai Qi gave the order to abandon Xiacheng. At that time, there was a lot of opposition in the court, and the King Ning party even took the opportunity to accuse him of wronging the country. If Emperor Cao did not show up in time to support him, I am afraid that Bai Qi would learn from Yuan. The body was killed and suppressed.

In the Cao Mansion, Bai Qi was dressed in plain white robes and silver fox fur over his shoulders, almost blending into the snowy sky outside the house. There was a lot of crying in the mourning hall, but he stood upright without showing any sadness or joy.

Cao Zhikui lived for one hundred and six years. Although it was not a fraction of his own age to Bai Qi, he had already lived a long life among mortals. Everything has a beginning and an end, and the end is also the beginning. He didn't understand the sorrow.

After Bai Qi offered incense to show respect and mourning, the great-grandson of Emperor Cao brought a letter and handed it to him, "Your Majesty, this letter is from your great-grandfather."

When Bai Qi received the letter, the envelope was blank. After opening it, there was only a short sentence on the letterhead, "I have no chance to see the day when the prince is unified." '

"..." Bai Qi was stunned, he didn't expect Cao Zhikui's regret to be this?

Holding the letter, Bai Qi was full of thoughts, and the carriage swayed all the way back to the palace. The coachman waited outside the car for a long time, but there was no movement, so he asked aloud, and Bai Qi got out of the car after concentrating on his thoughts.

The housekeeper who had been waiting at the gate of the mansion saw him come back and greeted him immediately, and at the same time ordered his servants to "deliver the meal immediately."

"I drank a cup of tea and ate a piece of shortbread at the Cao Mansion, and I'm not hungry for the time being." Bai Qi stopped him.

After approaching Bai Qi, the housekeeper smelled a scent of incense candles, so he asked again, "Do you want to take a bath, my lord?"

Bai Qi raised his hand and sniffed the smell on the sleeve robe, and also smelled the smell stuck in Cao's mansion, "Go."

Bai Qi didn't like to be waited upon when he took a bath, and the servants left the bathroom one after another after they had prepared all the things they needed for a bath. Bai Qi took off his clothes and went into the water, lazily leaning against the edge of the bath and letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Not in a good mood, because of Cao Zhikui?" 771 asked while lying on Bai Qi's robe.

After fusing the fragments of snow-spotted white amber and having sufficient energy, the spirit of 771 looks much better, at least it is no longer like sleeping at any time at the beginning to ensure that it will not crash.

"The life and death of a mortal is like a joss stick to God. If it burns out, it will die. If I were sad because of this, wouldn't I go crazy?" Bai Qi said in a normal tone.

There was a flash of light on 771's body and he stopped talking, Bai Qi patted it and asked, "But do you want to go back?"

"Take your time, don't rush." ​​771 said.

A smile flashed in Bai Qi's eyes, "Ten years at most, five years at least."

"The goal of achieving unification within ten years, you are a bit too arrogant." 771 hit him as usual.

"Gambling?" Bai Qi was eager to try.

"..." 771 was silent for a long time, and finally gave up, "Refused." From four years of bloody lessons, it learned the truth that Bai Qi's gambling luck is unmatched.

Behind the bathroom screen, the masked youth in black is looking at the man's thin back in the mist, with complex emotions in his eyes. Has he changed since he hasn't seen him for four years?Treating him...is it still the same as before?

In the past four years, his official career has been smooth sailing, and he knows that there must be his help.He helped him, and he was grateful, but the tragedy of the Huo family made him hate him again.

One night in the army four years ago, the two were lingering in the dream, and when he woke up, he recalled the face of the person in the dream, which made him feel ashamed, ashamed and angry.Bai Qi is a man and also his enemy, how could he...

He avoided seeing him for four years, and even deliberately used pain and pain to forget his existence, but the emotional seeds had been planted, and instead of withering in four years, they grew wildly into thorns. The more he struggled, the more scarred he became.

He destroyed his family, made his little sister stupid, and made him... He hated him, but he couldn't bear to take his life anymore.

"General Bai sneaked into the Wangfu Qingtian Bairi, but he came from the pillow table?" The cold male voice suddenly rang out, and Huo Yuan's expression froze in surprise.

Huo Yuan came back to his senses, but found that he had walked out of the screen at some point, knelt down in front of the pool, and put one hand on Bai Qi's bare shoulder.

Huo Yuan withdrew his hand like an electric shock, and Bai Qi raised his long sleeves to make way for him, staring at him coldly, "If the general is interested, I don't mind going to Wushan Yunyu with the general."

Embarrassment flashed across Huo Yuan's eyes, "If it was another man who sneaked into your mansion today, would the prince undress like this to greet him?"

Bai Qi snorted, squinted at him and sneered, "I'm afraid you, Huo Yuan, are the only ones in the world who have the guts to peek at this king's bathing? You're doing well."

He was still the same as before, as if he was still just a male favorite under his couch, nothing had changed, but it was because of Bai Qi's casualness and indifference that made Huo Yuan both annoyed and unwilling.

When Huo Yuan was distracted, one hand grabbed his skirt and brought him into the water, the mask slipped from his face and fell on the water surface, splashing a splash.History repeats itself, but this time he won't panic and let him tease him like four years ago.

Huo Yuan turned up from the bottom of the water, clamped his hand with one hand, and wrapped his waist with the other to push him back to the wall of the jade pool, just like what he did to himself back then.

"Are you capable?" Bai Qi smiled sarcastically, raised his leg and slammed into his abdomen, pinched his chin at the moment when he was relieved, "Since you are here to be a thief who steals incense and jade, why don't I be like you?" One wish?"

Huo Yuan frowned at this time. Bai Qi was as thin as a blade of grass, as if he couldn't stand even a little wind. What happened in the past four years?

In Bai Qi's eyes, Huo Yuan's frown was like the bully who raped the little lady in the book, which made him twitch the corner of his mouth and let go of his claws in boredom.

"When did you come back?" Bai Qi asked.

"I just entered Beijing yesterday." Huo Yuan replied.

"What are you going back to Beijing for?"

"..." Wanting to come back and see him, I completely lost my last thought, but after seeing him, instead of cutting off my emotions, I was even more dazed.

"Meet my little sister." Huo Yuan said.

"White-eyed wolf." Bai Qi raised his leg and kicked him, making Huo Yuan dizzy with his long straight legs dangling.

Huo Yuan turned his face away in embarrassment to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and changed the subject in a hoarse voice, "Aren't you afraid of bringing wolves into the house and destroying Nanqiu's country if you make me a general?"

"General Bai's loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth. With you, how can Nanqiu's country be destroyed?"

Huo Yuan fixed his eyes on Bai Qi, trying to see something on his face, but Bai Qi's expression was always calm, so calm that one felt ruthless.

"Heh!" Huo Yuan sneered, "The minister can live at the border, but he can't shake the treacherous courtiers."

"My king only needs you to shake the border, and I have me in the court." A simple sentence of "I have you" burned Huo Yuan's heart like a piece of iron.

Bai Qi left the bath and walked to the hanger, pulled a robe casually over his shoulders, turned around and looked at Huo Yuan who was staring at him like a wolf and a tiger, "Yinghe lives in Fuya Garden now, you should know the way .”

After a pause, he added, "Let's stay after the Chinese New Year."

"……Yes."

In Fuya Garden, Huo Yinghe was running around the garden with a plum blossom, her chubby face was flushed, and the servants chased after her and kept calling her to slow down, the picture made the people watching couldn't help but smile.

Huo Yinghe, who was skinny and small back then, is now raised by Bai Qifu into a fleshy dumpling. Among other things, at least it can be seen that she has not neglected her when eating.

"Brother, why are you wearing a mask?" Huo Yinghe trotted to Huo Yuan and raised her face and stared at him stupidly and asked.

Huo Yinghe's baby voice warmed Huo Yuan's eyes, and his tone softened, "Brother has a wound on his face, I'm afraid to scare others."

"It hurts, right?" Huo Yinghe covered her face and grinned, as if empathizing with her.

Huo Yuan laughed dumbfounded, "It doesn't hurt."

"Liar!" Huo Yinghe didn't believe him, "One time Yingying's foot was cut, the pretty brother hugged Yingying and coaxed Yingying for a long time to stop crying."

Pretty brother?is it him?Huo Yuan was startled, did he ever have such a tender moment?

In the study, Bai Qi had just finished drinking the medicine and was holding candied fruit to dispel the bitterness in his mouth. Huo Yuan knocked on the door and walked in. After entering the room, he could not help but frowned when he smelled the smell of medicine in the air.

"Here you are." Huo Yuan put a package on the table in front of Bai Qi.

"What?" Bai Qi asked.

"Evidence that King Ning colluded with the enemy and treason." Huo Yuan said.

First there was the letter from Bai Qi, and then there was the 'help' from Wenfeng Pavilion. Huo Yuan already knew about the collusion between King Ning and his uncle, and also knew the truth that King Ning silenced him after the incident and blamed all the crimes on the Huo Mansion. .

Bai Qi opened the wooden box in the package and looked at the evidence inside, "Go back to Huo Mansion?"

Uncle Huo Yuan had evidence that he knew about it, and he also speculated that the evidence might still be hidden in the Huo Mansion, but he and King Ning searched the Huo Mansion upside down and couldn't find it.

"Yes." Huo Yuan readily admitted, "With it, King Ning will never have a chance to stand up again."

Has the little wolf dog evolved?Bai Qi closed the lid of the box and stared at him with a half-smile, "Are you willing to give it to me?"

"It is only useful in your hands." Huo Yuan said realistically.

Bai Qi believed what he said, and he was the only one in the court who could suppress King Ning. Although these evidences were well-known death talismans, they were also hot potatoes, and not many people dared to accept them.

Bai Qi put away the box, then took out a wolf-head amulet from another box and put it on the table, "Do you recognize it?"

Huo Yuan's eyes dimmed, and his hands in his sleeves tightened slightly, "Soldier Talisman."

The wolf-head talisman, which can mobilize millions of soldiers and horses in Nanqiu, was originally under the control of the Huo family, and was taken over by the regent Wen Renqian after the Huo family was destroyed.What does he want to do?Test him?

"Want it?" Bai Qi asked.

"..." Huo Yuan's eyes were filled with a bottomless depth, "What does the prince mean by this?"

Bai Qi left the back of the chair and sat up straight, with his hands crossed and propped on his chin, staring at him with fiery eyes, "I will give you a wolf-head amulet, and you will conquer the kingdoms and rule the world for me, okay?"

"!!!" Huo Yuan.

This is another big gamble for Bai Qi.
