Chapter 1739 Sing a Line: Never See You Again in This Life

Bai Pingfu's funeral was not grand.

Langya City was not covered in white.

Only white banners were hung in the old house of the Bai family. No relatives or friends were invited to the banquet, and no guests were welcomed. It was unusually low-key.

Of course, many people understand the reason for this low-keyness - the pillars are broken, and the general trend is difficult to reverse. The famous family that once dominated the Yue Kingdom had to keep a low profile.

Without the power of the moment, how can you match the momentum of the moment?

Wen Juanying, the mistress of the Bai family, sat in the study room where her husband lived, sitting on the chair where her husband died... She was dressed in hemp, with a sad face, but she didn't cry.

The tears that should be shed have been shed in the past days.

After her husband Bai Pingfu died and before her son Bai Yuxia came back, she had to support this family. She did do everything well.

At this moment, there was more worry in her eyes.

Her son has changed a lot, and she doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

From childhood to adulthood, Bai Yuxia has always been the kind of "other people's child". He is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is proficient in swords, guns, sticks and clubs. He is praised by everyone for his moral etiquette. He is a perfect all-rounder in both civil and military affairs.

Just as he said in the court, Bai Pingfu asked him to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and to be diligent and hardworking since he was a child, and he has never slacked off.

He was defeated by Xiang Bei with his fists at the Yellow River Conference, and the gap between him and Ge Fei became wider and wider after the Shanhai Realm.

She saw her son's almost self-abuse efforts and his restless anxiety, and she was anxious in her heart.

The letter with a few words about traveling far away certainly made Pingfu furious and made many people laugh at it, but she was relieved in her heart.

Her son has everything, including character, appearance, talent and talent. He should be in his prime, but he doesn't have much youthful vigor. His words and deeds are polite and respectful, and he has both integrity and integrity. She has always been trapped in the framework of "Bai's daughter", living the way her husband described her. Every day is very hard.

She certainly respects her husband, but she loves her son more.

In fact, she knows that her husband also loves his son and misses him. He has quarreled with her many times, hoping that she can write a letter to persuade her son to come back, but he can't bring himself to say it directly... and she pretends not to understand.

In her husband's eyes, he sees the long-term of the Bai family and the thousand years of Yue State. He sees the dangerous undercurrents under the peaceful situation, the so-called responsibility and the so-called commitment. So he will continue to put pressure on his son, hoping that Yu Xia will become a better person.

But she only hopes that her son can live a more relaxed life. It doesn't matter if he is not that powerful.

But her husband is dead, and her son can no longer be relaxed...

The first thing her son did when he returned to the country was to wear mourning and go to court.

The first thing her son did after leaving court was to officially start the funeral of Pingfu.

Many people in the clan felt that it was precisely at this time that the Bai family needed a grand funeral to maintain the dignity of the Bai family.

It was Bai Yuxia who overcame all objections and demanded that everything be kept simple and low-key.

She did not quite understand her son's decision, but she supported it without reservation. It was exactly what Pingfu had hoped for when he was alive that Bai Yuxia should take on the responsibility of the family. No matter what the result was, she was willing to bear it with her son.

However, at this moment, her son knelt in front of her and slowly said to her, "I want to leave here."

Wen Juanying could not understand.

Although her husband Bai Pingfu died and the Bai family suffered a heavy blow. But the Langya Bai family would not be unable to recover from this.

As a famous family of the Yue Kingdom, the accumulation of the Bai family over the years would not be wiped out overnight.

There is still an elder in the family who has reached the realm of the gods.

The Bai family has many old friends all over the world, and Wen Juanying also has the blood of the Yue royal family.

It should be said that this family can still hold on, and has enough foundation to survive until the next person to support the family appears. It can support the growth of Bai Yuxia.

But Bai Yuxia wanted to give up all this.

"You talk to your mother." Wen Juanying said slowly: "Is it because he was wronged in the court? The world is fickle, which is normal... Your father failed in the Meteoric Forest, and no one cared about him for a long time?"

Bai Yuxia's unsuccessful accountability in the court had already spread among the upper class of Yue State. Many people regarded it as a manifestation of the political immaturity of the eldest son of the Bai family. Wen Juanying knew it, but she thought her son was born smart and only needed a little guidance. After taking charge of the family for a period of time, he would naturally understand the political game.

"The mother still treats her son as a child, but now that the father is dead, the son is the father. How can the son still have innocent thoughts?" Bai Yuxia shook her head: "Who can live in this world without being wronged? Duke Chu Huai still had to endure humiliation behind closed doors, and Marquis Qi Wu'an still had a national wanted man. Is the son a great person? How can he not endure the slightest grievance?"

"The son returned to the country this time to give an explanation to his father and to support the family."

He held his knees with both hands, like a jade statue: "But staying here... there is no hope."

Wen Juanying said sadly: "Although the Bai family is declining, it is not dead , my son is extremely talented, how can you say there is no hope here? "

Bai Yuxia said in a deep voice: "From the perspective of the Bai family, there is certainly no problem with what mother said. From the perspective of the Bai family... no matter how treacherous and powerful Zhang Linchuan is, there is no reason for my father to die. Yue is not Wei, not Dan, we have made preparations in advance. "

"You mean..." Wen Juanying frowned: "That Ge Fei deliberately watched your father in danger, and the Ge family wanted to swallow up my Bai family?"

Bai Yuxia said: "This matter is of great importance, there is no evidence, and I can't say anything. But I think all the smart people in the world will have some guesses. "

Wen Juanying's face did not show any surprise, and it was obvious that she was also one of the 'smart people', but she just lowered her eyes and said: "If the fact is true, my son should be more cautious, more forbearing, and should not alert the enemy."

Bai Yuxia shook his head: "No."

Although he was kneeling, he still had a sense of excellence, and said seriously: "Ge Fei's current official position is the Right Censor-in-Chief, the second person in the Censorate. The Left Censor-in-Chief has always obeyed the emperor's orders and will not interfere with his power. But my son has been concentrating on practicing and has not officially entered the officialdom. This is because he is not as powerful as him."

"Ge Fei took Yin Xiang as his teacher, and I have inherited the family learning of the Bai family since I was a child. The Ge family is in its heyday, and the Bai family is about to be in turmoil... The power is not as good as his."

"Since After the trip to the Mountain and Sea Realm, Ge Fei's cultivation speed has advanced by leaps and bounds. Now he has become a god, and can even fight with Zhang Linchuan without dying... My son is far from being able to compare with him. What he loses is strength, and also his foreseeable future. "

He said that he was inferior in everything, but there was no dejection in his eyes. He just objectively examined the reality and calmly faced the cruelty: "If I want to fight against Ge Fei, it is like an egg hitting a stone, and there is no chance of winning. If the Ge family wants to swallow my Bai family, the Bai family alone does not have the power to fight back. Mother sees that the Bai family today still has a huge fortune, full warehouses of grain, and lush leaves and branches... My son sees that it is nothing but a bubble, a faint light of a candle. "

Wen Juanying wanted to say that if there really is that day, I can go to the palace to ask the emperor, and the royal family will not ignore the Bai family. But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them again. Because she suddenly figured out why Bai Yuxia's first thing after returning to the country was to wear mourning clothes to attend the court, and why she was so ignorant in the court.

If there is any value that the Bai family can show today, it is nothing more than a check and balance on the Ge family, and the future of Bai Yuxia, who was once known as the twin prides with Ge Fei.

And Bai Yuxia has already shown it all.

Bai Yuxia has already taken out everything at the first time, and has already stepped onto the gambling table at the first time, with the image of a rash and reckless son of a noble family, so angry and so ignorant in the court of Yue State - if the emperor is willing to support him to check and balance Ge Fei, he is willing to be the one standing in front of the stage. He is willing to rush forward without thinking and bump forward.

But the emperor has been silent.

If her blood relationship can influence the emperor, why does she need to enter the palace?

Now that the emperor has already made an attitude, what is the point of her entering the palace?

She had to admit that her son thought further than her and was more mature than she thought. But this maturity makes a mother heartbroken.

Bai Yuxia continued, "Gong Zhiliang said that he would not stand on our side no matter how close he was to me. Even Gong Zhiliang was like this, and the whole court, civil and military officials, could not be relied on. If we continue to fight, we will only bring shame upon ourselves. As for His Majesty... of course he would give me some sweet treats to coax me, and give my father and the Bai family some glory, so that we can continue to hold on. This is the so-called art of the emperor, but it is meaningless to the Bai family.

Without real support, no matter how hard I struggle, I can never escape from Ge Fei's suppression. No matter how hard I try, I can only delay the time of failure at most... I can't be Ge Fei's opponent now, and the Bai family can no longer be on par with the Ge family. I have no choice but to jump out of here."

At this moment, the entire Bai family's old house was trapped in the atmosphere of funerals, people were sad, people were crying, and people were coming and going in a hurry. But in the study of the Bai family's head, the most talented person in the Bai family today, the next head of the Bai family in legal terms, had already made up his mind to leave.

He just waved his hand at the Langya Bai Clan, which once represented endless glory.

When there are still quite a lot of chips in hand, not everyone can see the result clearly, and not everyone has the courage to give up this game.

Wen Juanying looked at her son, and there were many things she didn't say. In the end, she just said: "How are you going to leave?"

Bai Yuxia said: "The friend who accompanied me back to Yue State before has left. Wu'an Hou of Qi State wrote me a letter, inviting me to go to Nanxia to relax and learn Taoism. Yinxiang and Ge Fei should have read this letter. I'm going and I won't come back."

"My son has made good friends outside." Wen Juanying said sadly: "It seems that you are right to run away from home."

Bai Yuxia slowly lowered his body and put his forehead to the ground: "I can't take my mother away, because Ge Fei may not be at ease with me. I can't leave without you."

"Silly child." Wen Juanying brushed the account book on the desk and smiled: "It's impossible for your mother to go with you. This is my country, this is my home. I have to keep this family business for your father and wait for you to come back."

Bai Yuxia raised her head: "After I leave, the Bai family will have no way out and no possibility of fighting against the Ge family. The elders will be safe. It's just that life will be a little tighter and money will be a little tighter. Langya City will no longer be ruled by the Bai family... It's hard for mother."

Wen Juanying looked at Bai Yuxia across the desk and felt that the child was still very close, but also seemed very far away.

But when the child grows up, there will always be this day, right?

She said bitterly, "No matter how poor the Bai family is, it is still a famous family in Yue. No matter how badly the family business collapses, mother still has the blood of the royal family of Wen. Mother has to live in luxury at home, so why should she suffer? It is you who suffers outside, sleeping in the open air and overcoming difficulties. No matter how good a friend is, it is not pleasant to live under someone else's roof..."

Bai Yuxia didn't say these things. He rushed back to Yue State all night. So far, he has not shed a tear. He only said slowly: "The emperor thought he could control the Ge family and manipulate Ge Fei arbitrarily, so he didn't care and even condoned it. Or maybe He has more plans and higher-level thinking... But "Fei" is the evil in the world, and it is not easy. Ge Fei is no longer the same as before, and I am not the innocent Bai Yuxia anymore. Let's wait and see. ”

Requiem laments were still being sung outside.

That song sings——

“Three souls are gone, seven souls are gone.

Who in the world has no relatives?

A cry, a cry of pain.

Come and go naked.

The fate of this life is over, and the road in front of the mountain is cut off.

The mountains don't turn, but the water can. The gurgling tears in my eyes sing for those who are leaving.

Sing that mountain, the mountain is too high. Sing that water, the water is too far away.

Sing a line that I won’t see you in this life!

The living or the dead, who is more regretful..."

In the study room with elegant furnishings, Wen Juanying quietly listened to a Vietnamese lament. The son who had always made her proud and worried about her had disappeared.

Not long after, footsteps approaching quickly were heard outside the study, and the housekeeper's voice rang out: "Mistress, the palace has sent a funeral ceremony and a posthumous title for the master."

Wen Juanying only said: "I know."

I had no intention of welcoming him personally.

After a while, another servant came to report: "Yin Xiangfeng sent a piece of writing, which was written by Yin Xiang himself, saying 'safety at home'..."

Wen Juanying in the study asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

The servant replied: "I didn't say anything."

Wen Juanying was silent for a moment, but still only said: "I know!"

…

…

The growth and decline of vegetation is the natural principle.

Birth, old age, illness and death are common human events.

Someone also passed away in Linzi City, and they were also members of a famous family, and the funeral was also low-key... No, the funeral of the Bao family was almost silent, and it cannot be described as low-key. It seems that everyone wishes not to know.

Of course, given Bao's family status, no matter how low-key the prince's death was, people who should know would never ignore it.

Bao Zhongqing, the second son of the Bao family, died in Zhang Linchuan's disaster.

As for why Zhang Linchuan's replacement, Lei Zhanqian, had been dead for a long time, and Bao Zhongqing just died. It was naturally the treacherous Zhang Linchuan who gave Bao Zhongqing a chronic and highly toxic poison.

Jiang Wang, the Marquis of Wu'an, investigated the disappearance of Lin Youxie, the Qingpai head catcher, and it became known to the whole world. What people don't know is that because of his comradeship and classmate friendship with Jiang Wang, Bao Zhongqing worked tirelessly to get involved and find out the truth. I went to Lushuang County in person several times to investigate many doubtful points. Therefore, Zhang Linchuan saw the opportunity and secretly committed murder.

It's really a pity that God is jealous of talented people and a famous family.

"In other words, Bao Zhongqing died because of me, and died in order to exterminate the evil cult leader Linchuan?"

In the house of Marquis Wu'an, Marquis Wu An, who had just returned home, was half-leaning on his desk, with one hand seemingly inadvertently covering the corners of his eyes, supporting the face that had been selected into Linzi's beauty list...

How superficial!

He, Jiang Wang, is just a little younger, a little stronger in cultivation, a little higher in title, and a little more famous.

In terms of appearance alone, how can one be considered a handsome man? ?

Unexpectedly, they only ranked among the top five beauties in Linzi, after Li Zhengshu, Zhong Xuanzun, Jiang Wuxie, and Ji Zhaonan.

These girls and wives in Linzi are so superficial!

Jiang Wuxie was on the list because of his status as a prince, let alone him.

Ji Zhaonan was just trying to sell him, but Zhong Xuanzun was just showing off. Especially Li Zhengshu, how old is he! Still ranked first? Yulangjun is almost becoming Grandpa Yu, he is so old.

The aesthetics of women in Qi State is really open to question!

Zhongxuansheng was very unhappy with the newly released list of Lao Shizi’s most beautiful men. He was very sorry that the world had not been able to appreciate his fatness, so it was difficult for him to speak in a good tone: “Yes, Bao Zhongqing treats you like this, loves you so deeply, and even does it for you. You will die. If you don't attend his funeral, you, Jiang Qingyang, will definitely get a reputation as unkind and unjust!"

Thank you to the book friend "Huainan Youzhi" for becoming the leader of this book. This is the 362nd alliance for the Sky Patrol!

I was so dizzy when I wrote "He Soaring to the Sky" that I forgot to thank Huai Meng, which I really shouldn't have done.

Come on, give me a hug.

…

…

I estimate that the normal update schedule will be restored the day after tomorrow.

Of course it will still be 10pm tomorrow~

Good night everyone!
