Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2556: Atonement for Sins 19.0
After hearing Shen Cha's words, Bai Meng shook his head gently and silently lit a candle for Wanyan Xi in his heart.

If he had been obedient and had given up his petty thoughts and calculations, he might have been able to stay on the throne for two more days. But if he did not behave himself, he would have been in dire straits.

But Bai Meng stood up and walked to Yingsun's side, looking towards where Wanyan Xi was. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could see a person sitting there. He sighed softly. This guy was not an honest man at heart. The rebelliousness in his body was probably taller than his height. Therefore, it was a fantasy to expect him to be honest. His end was foreseeable.

Yingshun looked at Bai Meng, nudged him lightly with his arm, and raised his eyebrows at him.

"what happened?"

"I was just about to ask you what's wrong!" Ying Falcon turned his head and looked at you, saying, "How come we've been chatting for a while and I feel so frustrated?"

"I'm not upset, I just feel a little bit sorry."

"What's so regrettable? Those who are not of our race must have different hearts. This has been the truth since ancient times." Falcon sneered, "Besides, there is no need to have pity on those who will definitely stab us in the back."

"That's true. I just feel that even though the eldest prince is such a good person, no matter his father, brother, or people around him, they are all purely using him. No one cares about his feelings at all." Bai Meng looked at Yingshuan, "You should all have dealt with him, right?"

"Yes, the eldest prince is a very good person in every aspect. The sentence just now, I mean, those who are not of my race must have different hearts, is very inappropriate to apply to him. He is a very philanthropic and righteous person, and he is very principled. He must do what he should do, and he will not do what he shouldn't do, even if you threaten him with death."

"I've heard of him. So, even though he was a prince of the Jin Kingdom, even though he was sent here as a hostage, few people looked down on him. Of course, except at the beginning, no one knew what kind of person he was at that time."

"Indeed." Falcon sighed, "But later, almost everyone thought he was a good man, a true friend and brother. He would not throw his brothers into danger for his own sake at the critical moment, nor would he give up his principles because of temporary gains and losses." He paused, looked into the distance with a little longing, and said, "We once said that maybe it was because he was too good, and many of the things he did and the principles he adhered to were not in line with the current interests of King Jin, so..."

"Do you remember what the eldest prince looked like when you first met him?"

"When I first met him, I was a little younger than you are now, about the same age." Ying Falcon thought for a moment and said, "I was about ten years old, and I was still the prince's little servant. The eldest prince came to pay a special visit to the prince, and I was responsible for leading the way. I was deeply impressed by that time because of his attitude towards me. He didn't treat me as a little servant at all. He was very polite, which was completely different from some guys in Xijing City who have their eyes on the top of their heads." He looked at Bai Meng, "You know, the whole atmosphere in Xijing City at that time was far worse than it is now. Some people didn't have much of a title or a general official rank, but they acted more like officials than the previous emperor and looked down on these little servants. On the contrary, the foreign prince would salute me when he met me. I had a good impression of him from that time." He looked at Bai Meng and said, "Although you haven't met him, you should have heard a lot about him. Am I right?"

"Yeah," Bai Meng nodded. "For some people, if only a few people are praising them, then what they show may not be true. But if the vast majority of people are praising them, then we can be sure that this person's character is very good."

"That's the kind of person the eldest prince is." Falcon sighed, "It's just a pity that good people don't live long, and he couldn't escape this fate."

Bai Meng didn't say anything, but just snorted to show that he agreed with his statement. For a moment, both of them were silent, and their eyes were cast at the same time towards the arena where the competition was taking place.

After watching for a long time, Yingshuan finally came back to his senses from the sadness of missing the eldest prince. At this time, Shaobai had already cleanly killed countless challengers and did not seem to be tired at all.

"What's wrong?" Bai Meng glanced at Ying Falcon's expression and raised her eyebrows slightly, "You are almost eyeing Shao Bai, are you attracted to him?"

"You can't say that. Everyone has a heart that values ​​talent, right?" Ying Falcon touched his chin, looked at him for a long time, and turned to look at Bai Meng, "You said, if I ask for the person back." He turned around carefully, and found that Shen Cha didn't notice him, so he turned back and said in a low voice, "Will the young master kill me?"

"I don't know whether Xiaocha will kill you, but Haolin will definitely do so."

"Ah? Duke? That's not necessary, right?"

"You shouldn't do that!" Bai Meng looked at Ying Falcon in confusion, "You don't lack people like Bai, why do you have to cause trouble?"

"Just because you don't need it now doesn't mean you won't need it in the future, right? Shaobai is so young, even if the prince comes, he will be tempted." Ying Falcon thought for a moment and said, "Besides, I know my limits. I don't plan to speak now. I want to wait until the war is over before discussing it with the young master and the Duke."

"Are you guys out of work?"

"Well, there are indeed very few young ones, so I want to grab one whenever I see one. And I have my reasons."

"What reason?"

"Look, there's only one person like Bai here. He's all alone here. He has to figure everything out by himself. If he figures it out, it's fine. But if he hits a snag, he has to start all over again. What a waste of time and energy! If he came to our side, there would be several people who could guide him. He would be able to improve a lot in terms of experience and strength, and he wouldn't have to wander around aimlessly by himself." He raised an eyebrow at Bai Meng and said, "If it were you, what would you choose?"

"That's true!" Bai Meng was persuaded by Yingshun, and suddenly hesitated, saying, "If it were me, I would probably choose to go with you. After all, following someone who is experienced and strong, my abilities will improve quickly. But..." He thought for a while, "Whether this matter can be accomplished, in addition to seeking the consent of Xiaocha and Haolin, Shaobai himself must also agree. It's not okay for you to be so enthusiastic alone. Besides, Xiaocha will take over the Eagle King Army in the future, why are you so anxious? Shaobai, sooner or later, I will be your man, right?"

"That's true." Falcon smiled, "It's just an idea that suddenly came to me after watching the game for so long."
