Bai Yin remained silent.
Third Master emphasized once again, "In any case, the Marquis will handle Lian Que's matter. We just have to wait here. You don't have to worry too much. After all, the Marquis has always been reliable. He will definitely rescue her."
It wasn't that the Third Master was cold and heartless, but in the current situation, impulsive actions would ruin things.
Waiting patiently was the best way!
Bai Yin was not an unreasonable person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have suppressed the impulse in his heart and chosen to leave the city first.
In order to reassure Master San, he nodded.
Third Master patted him on the shoulder, sighed, and left.
The room was silent!
Bai Yin stood at the door with her back to the house.
Ji Yunshu pondered for a moment. She looked at him as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Jing Rong glanced at her and seemed to know what she was thinking. He said, "You two have a good chat."
Ever since they found out the truth, the siblings hadn't had a proper conversation.
There were some things that should be discussed!
Jing Rong went out of the room to avoid them.
There were only two people left.
Ji Yunshu called out, "Big brother."
Bai Yin remained unmoved as she stared at the swaying sapling in the courtyard.
Silence. Ji Yunshu walked to his side and followed his gaze. Her eyes fell on the sapling as well. She said softly, "Actually … we can choose to leave Huyi and put all this behind us. We can no longer care about it and continue to live our original lives.
Life. "
Leave Huyi?
Bai Yin furrowed her brows and slowly turned her head towards Gu Ruoyun. Her eyes were filled with confusion.
Ji Yunshu also turned her head to meet his gaze. Her eyes were filled with helplessness. "But … we can't turn a blind eye!"
But … we can't turn a blind eye to it!
Bai Yin, "..."
He didn't know what to say. Ji Yunshu heaved a long sigh and continued, "You and I … bear more than just a family grudge! The lives of many people, and even the future of Huyi! The King of Huyi was sinister and ruthless. He secretly and wantonly killed the officials of the previous dynasty, causing countless deaths.
His family was torn apart, and his family was ruined! As for those two princes, they were even more vicious and merciless. They would do anything to achieve their goals. If such people were to ascend the throne, how many people would die in the world? What will the future of Huyi be like? "
Her meaning was clear and unambiguous.
Bai Yin understood. "You want me to stay?"
"From the moment we decided to go to Huyi to find our origins, we had no other choice. No matter what the heavens want, this is the truth! Furthermore, we must avenge our parents! "
However, Bai Yin hesitated and said, "Of course I have to avenge my father's death! But... you know I'm used to the unrestrained life of the prairie, and I'm used to the freedom of hunting in the woods, and now you want me to give it all up.
To the point of throwing away everything in the past and doing things that I don't like at all! Yunshu, do you know how scary it is to lock a wild leopard in a cage? "
Ugh!
Ji Yunshu's chest tightened.
If a cheetah that ran in the mountains and forests all year round was imprisoned in a cage, it would be equivalent to depriving and restricting all of its freedom, turning it into a puppet without a soul.
This was a hurdle in Bai Yin's heart that she could not overcome.
He didn't want to leave his previous life behind.
He didn't want to sit in the cold Huyi palace as someone he didn't like! Ji Yunshu calmed her emotions and said, "But the Marquis is right about one thing. The world of Huyi belongs to you! No matter how you try to avoid it, you can't change this fact. If we want revenge, we must participate in this struggle.
Once we do, we will not be able to turn back. "
Bai Yin was silent.
His heart was in turmoil. Coupled with his worry for Lian Que, all kinds of things were piling up in his heart.
It felt like someone was stirring something in his chest with a knife.
After a while, he gradually calmed down and asked Ji Yunshu seriously, "Then do you think I look like a king?"
Ji Yunshu replied, "No one is born to be a king!"
...
After the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom sent Bai Yin away, he sent someone to wait outside the Second Prince's door.
But after a few hours, there was still no news.
Where did he go?
He couldn't have disappeared for no reason!
Just when he was at his wits' end, someone suddenly came to visit.
An extremely simple sedan chair stopped outside the Marquis's residence.
A man beside the sedan hurried to the door and said to the servant, "Please inform the Marquis that my master wants to see you."
The servant looked in the direction of the sedan.
He only saw the sedan, but no one.
He asked, "Who is your master?"
The man whispered into the servant's ear.
The servant's expression changed after hearing this.
He stood there for a while, then hurried to report.
When the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom learned who the man was, he was shocked.
He was puzzled. "Why is it him?"
The servant asked, "Marquis, is that an invitation? Or not? "
"Please go in."
"Yes."
The servant hurried out and said to the man, "The Marquis invites your master in."
The man returned to the sedan and said something to the person inside.
The person in the sedan lifted the curtain and came out.
This person was none other than Left Premier Gong. He was dressed in a very simple and elegant robe. He didn't have any accessories on his body. It was very simple! After Gong Shilin's beheading, he seemed to have changed into a different person. His expression was not as stern and fierce as before. Instead, it was indifferent for a long time.
It was like he was a different person before.
This was also his first time coming to the Southern Marquis's manor.
That was why the servant outside was shocked.
Left Premier Gong (Gong Chi) entered the manor and went to the hall.
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom saw him coming from afar and looked at him from top to bottom.
He was dressed in simple casual clothes!
His figure was thin!
He looked a lot older!
It seemed that his son Gong Shilin's death was a big blow to him.
Serves him right!
But one would not come without a reason. This person's sudden visit was probably not a good thing.
Gong Chi was among the people who besieged the palace that year.
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom even wanted to cut off his head to worship the late king countless times.
But in order to find his nephew.
In order to wait for the day to turn the tables.
He endured it all!
Even though Ah Jin had been found, it was still not the time to show his cards.
Therefore, he suppressed the impulse and hatred in his heart and revealed a friendly face as he stood up to welcome them as if nothing had happened.
He said politely, "I didn't know that the Prime Minister would come. Sorry for not going out to greet you."
Gong Chi cupped his hands and smiled faintly, "The Marquis is too polite. I didn't inform you and suddenly came to visit. I was afraid to disturb the Marquis."
"Not at all. It is the honor of the Marquis's manor to have the Prime Minister visit."
For the future, only the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom could swallow this insult.
