Chapter 219 Bai Linan's Choice
After giving the reminder, seeing that the eunuch remained indifferent, King Ping sneered and lowered the curtain again.
This damn eunuch relies on Chu Tianling's support and doesn't take anyone seriously. The people from Prince Ping's Mansion are hostages in the capital and can't do anything to him, but there is always someone who can deal with him.
As for the people in the two sedan chairs at the back, they put on airs and didn't even show their faces, as if they were waiting to be greeted by someone.
Soon, Murong Xuan in a black brocade robe and Yu Fengyang in a white brocade robe came to the city gate with a team of soldiers.
When the two men saw the scene at the city gate, a hint of sneer appeared on their lips, but considering King Ping, they both dismounted from their horses.
Directly ignoring the others, Murong Xuan and Yu Fengyang simply bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Ping!"
Prince Ping lifted the curtain and nodded slightly, saying, "Second Master and Master Yu are too polite..."
Yu Fengyang smiled slightly and said, "The princess is already waiting for Your Highness in the government office. Why don't we go into the city now?"
"Of course, thank you two gentlemen for leading the way!" King Ping glanced at the unhappy eunuch calmly, then looked at the two of them and said
As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch shouted at Yu Fengyang and Murong Xuan, "How dare you! We are envoys sent by His Majesty. You two have no official positions. Why don't the Princess of Yan come to greet you in person..."
Upon hearing this, King Ping couldn't help but roll his eyes. He really didn't know where this eunuch got his confidence from. Could it be that after castrating that thing, he also castrated his brain?
Yu Fengyang and Murong Xuan looked at each other, their heads full of black lines. Will Chu Tianling choose someone? What kind of thing did he send out? Can it really convey his meaning? Is this someone sent here to die?
Murong Xuan waved his hands speechlessly, "Shut this thing up for me, how dare you say such nonsense!"
The eunuch also waved his hand at the surrounding guards and said with a twirling finger, "How dare you!"
But this is Yunzhou, the home ground of the Changning Army. The two hundred guards they brought are not enough for the Changning Army to kill. It seems that a fight has broken out before they even enter the city.
Prince Ping quickly got off the carriage and said to his guards, "Everyone, step back!"
The guards hesitated for a while and decided to listen to King Ping first. After all, they felt that the eunuch was really looking for death.
The eunuch who was guarding him withdrew and said in panic, "You...I must report you to His Majesty and punish you!"
Listening to his nonsense, Yu Fengyang rolled his eyes and said, "Catch it quickly. What the hell is that? Don't let it get in and pollute the princess' eyes..."
After the eunuch was arrested, things really got much quieter. The people in the two carriages at the back finally showed up.
It was the well-known Bai Linan and a girl in a lilac dress.
Bai Linan's face was a little vicissitudes, but he still put on a gentle smile and looked at Murong Xuan and said, "It's my nephew Xuan. Are Xiaoxiao and father-in-law okay?"
In response to his sudden greeting, Murong Xuan sneered, "Don't bother, Prime Minister..."
Bai Linan's expression froze. The girl behind him stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings to the Second Master Yu. Is my elder sister all right?"
Murong Xuan and Yu Fengyang had no impression of this girl. They couldn't help but frowned slightly when they heard the girl's questions.
The girl smiled and said, "I am Bai Chuyun. I went to Jiangnan with my mother before. You two gentlemen may have forgotten..."
Yu Fengyang nodded, "So it's the third lady..." He didn't know what the relationship between the princess and this sister was like, so he should wait until he met the princess.
After seeing everyone, Murong Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness Prince Ping, please come in! We will enter the city now."
The group then returned to the carriage, entered the city under the leadership of the Changning Army, and headed towards the government office.
Prince Ping and others waited in the hall for a while before Bai Chuxiao appeared with everyone.
"Your Highness Prince Ping, long time no see," Bai Chuxiao nodded slightly as she looked at the elegant man whom she had only met once.
King Ping smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so polite. We have said before that we are all family..."
"Third brother is right!" Seeing that King Ping's attitude had not changed, Bai Chuxiao also changed his address.
Bai Chuyun said with some joy on her face, "Big sister!"
Bai Chuxiao then noticed the girl beside her, "Yun'er? Why are you here too?"
She had not spent much time with Bai Chuyun, and although they were not particularly close, she was the only person in the Bai Mansion who was kind to her.
Bai Chuyun wanted to go forward and pull Bai Chuxiao's arm, but was blocked by Shen Xuanxuan beside her.
Bai Chuyun's expression froze, and there was some disappointment in her eyes, "Sister, mother gave birth to my brother safely, and we returned to Beijing some time ago..."
Bai Chuxiao patted her hand and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Aunt Zhao!"
She was not dissatisfied with Shen Xuanxuan's protection just now. Now that Bai Chuyun suddenly arrived, it was hard to say whether she was willing to be close to her sister like before. She still had to be on guard.
Bai Linan, who was ignored, coughed twice awkwardly, "Xiao Xiao!"
Bai Chuxiao turned her head and said calmly, "Oh, father is here too..."
Bai Linan said with some difficulty, "Xiaoxiao, you also know the purpose of your father and your sister's coming here..."
Naturally, they couldn't just stand there and chat, so Bai Chuxiao walked to the front and asked someone to serve tea.
Then he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Father, if you have anything to say, just say it directly..."
Bai Linan sighed slightly, "Xiaoxiao, His Majesty sent us here in the hope that you can release the Prince of Yingchuan..."
"If we release Zhang Yu, will father be promoted again?" Bai Chuxiao couldn't help but sneer.
"What are you talking about? Forget about being an official. Now, whether your grandmother and the Bai family can survive depends on you..."
Bai Chuxiao's lips curled up in sarcasm, "Really? Father meant that we were forced to be loyal to Chu Tianling, and Fourth Sister's Concubine Zhaoyi was also forced, right? If that's the case, then it's easy. Father and Third Sister will stay here. I will find a way to save the people of the Bai family. How about ensuring their lives?"
Bai Linan's expression froze, and Bai Chuyun hurriedly said, "Sister, Yun'er naturally wants to go with you, but mother and the others have indeed been locked up by His Majesty. If... I'm afraid they will die immediately..."
Bai Chuxiao remained calm, "I said, as long as father is willing to give up his official position and no longer be loyal to Chu Tianling, I will naturally protect the lives of the Bai family. If father or third sister have the intention of returning to enjoy wealth and glory, then there is no need to mention the matter of exchanging Zhang Yu... Father, make a decision quickly..."
Bai Linnan's face turned pale. Why was this painting not what he had imagined?
He could still give it a try by working for Chu Tianling, at least he was still the high and mighty Left Prime Minister. But if he stayed here, given the temperament of this girl and the hatred of the Murong family towards him, he would really have to be an idle person in the future, relying on this girl for his life.
Not only could he not accept it, even the old lady in the mansion couldn't accept it...
