Summon Qunhao

Chapter 376 [Everyone's Thoughts]

On the third day after the beginning of winter, Qin Tianjian said that there might be a lot of snow that day.

It is written in the almanac that it is advisable to marry and avoid traveling.

It's a good day.

Everyone in the Ministry of Rites said so.

An auspicious day.

Chen Xiaofeng thinks so too.

So this day was chosen as the day of the emperor's wedding.

But the emperor himself didn't really care much about whether this day was suitable for marriage or not. He just thought the second half of the sentence was auspicious. As for the first half of the sentence, he didn't care.

Anyway, the big wedding is just a cover, a trap, and there are endless murderous intentions hidden in the trap. Anyone who comes will die.

As the saying goes, avoid traveling.

It has already been said in the almanac, don't come out, those who come out will die.

But Chen Xiaofeng knew that the person who should come would still come.

It's not because those people are stupid and rushed to die, it's just because they must die.

Because Chen Xiaofeng has already designed their fate for them.

At that moment, Chen Xiaofeng had the feeling of truly dominating the world, not the emperor's domination of the world, but the life and death of gods and immortals who wantonly control the fate of mortals.

He likes this feeling.

But some people don't like this feeling.

no doubt.

And the one I dislike the most is Bai Wumei.

Bai Wumei endured for most of his life. In his more than 30 years of life, although he had a sufficiently prominent status, he could only do the work of the most humble servant, even if he was a servant of a rare family in the world. And the head of the servants.

But a servant is a servant and doesn't change for anything else.

He was born to be emperor.

His surname is Bai, and his eyebrows were as white as snow from birth.

He has the most noble blood.

This extreme mismatch between identity and reality tortured his heart day and night.

Obviously, his martial arts are better than most people, much better than those mediocrities who claim to be geniuses, but he can't say anything, can't say anything, and can't show anything in public, he needs to hide, hide himself well , like a stone containing jade, he can't reveal the beautiful jade hidden in his heart, he can only let people see his ordinary stone appearance, and he even goes against his will to praise those who have The mediocrity of the stone appearance.

This is not the most tormented.

The most tormenting thing is that he can't tell the girl he likes that he likes her, no matter how much he likes her, even if love will come out of his eyes, even if that girl is about to marry someone she doesn't like, he won't , can't say anything, can't do anything.

Because his surname is Bai, he needs to hide himself and wait for that day to come.

On that day, he can forcefully remove the appearance of his own stone, unscrupulously reveal the inner heart of the jade, and let that piece of jade unrestrainedly release its dazzling brilliance.

Now, that day has come, he can finally hold his eyebrows high, let go of the depression of the past 30 years, and proudly tell the world that his surname is Bai, he is a descendant of the Bai family, he is back, and he wants to come and get it back Bai's everything.

But it was also at this time that he thought he could confide his love to his beloved girl without any scruples.

An invitation was delivered to his desk.

A most difficult decision was placed before him.

It is to watch the girl she loves marry someone she will never like, or even hate, and sink for the rest of her life.

Still, he stepped forward, knowing that this was a trap, and desperately took the soldiers he had worked so hard to step into the bloody storm, and then there was a great possibility that he would lose everything, and that girl would still not love him.

Smart people know how to choose.

Bai Wumei, who is no longer the chief executive of Chen Gongfu, but Bai Wang, should also know how to choose.

But Bai Wumei didn't know.

So he hated Chen Xiaofeng, hated Chen Xiaofeng for giving him such a choice.

He hates this feeling.

Just because, at a loss.

After more than 30 years of hardships, he has become insidious, cunning, cold-blooded and ruthless. He can be ruthless with a smile on his face at any time, he can be ungrateful, betray his friends, he can do anything, his heart is completely cold.

But when he faced the girl named Chen Xiaotong, he forgot everything, his survival instincts, his heart seemed to become soft, just like when he was 15 years old, he was in Chengong's mansion for the first time. Seeing that girl, she stood in the morning wind, the wind swept up the corners of her clothes, and the rising sun stretched her shadow infinitely, she didn't turn around, her whole being was as beautiful as a dream.

Since then, that girl has lived in his heart, becoming a seal, or a high wall that can never be crossed. Anything is useless in front of this high wall.

Or maybe, every man has such a wall in his heart.

Bai Wumei has been walking back and forth in the military tent for more than an hour. After the age of 33, he was promoted to a master of martial arts, and his state of mind became even more unfathomable. After that, he never had such a moment of confusion, and any decision would not exceed three breaths. .

However, his heart is now chaotic, very chaotic, very chaotic.

It is clear that many things about the family army have not been completely perfected, and are still waiting for his decision, such as military rations, equipment, training of recruits, all kinds of stakes, and so on.

Outside the military tent, dozens of generals were also guarding, waiting for him to receive him.

He just walked around here.

In more than an hour, he had beheaded seven generals.

These seven generals all came to persuade him.

Advise him not to be impulsive and focus on the overall situation.

He was concerned about Chen Xiaotong's affairs, and everyone in the Bai family army knew, and no one knew, that Emperor Yuping's wedding was a huge trap.

In order to take care of the morale of the army, Bai Wumei was also kind to those generals who persuaded him at first.

Until the seventh general came in and said to him: "Your Highness, why don't a man have a wife? Even if His Highness really loves Chen Xiaotong in his heart, he will have to wait for the world to talk about it. By then, if you want any beautiful women, you can't just recruit them. Enjoying Emperor Yuping's empress, if you say it, it would be a great deal..."

The general didn't have a chance to say that word.

In fact, Bai Wumei was about to kill someone when he talked about enjoyment, but he was stunned at that time, he didn't think that anyone would dare to say such a thing in front of him.

He was extremely angry because he couldn't stand anyone insulting Chen Xiaotong like this.

Then, he understood.

He couldn't take it anymore, he finally stopped walking around, when the eighth general came to die, he didn't kill anyone, he just ordered directly to stop all military affairs, and there was only one thing to do next.

That is, snatching a kiss.

He wanted to snatch Chen Xiaotong back.

After saying the whole order, Bai Wumei slumped on the chair, feeling both relaxed and lost.

He knew he couldn't get past the wall.

------

Compared to Bai Wumei's hesitation, pain, tossing and turning.

Li Xiaoran's feeling is not so strong.

To be honest, she didn't have much affection for Chen Xiaotong.

Even if she didn't talk about what happened later, she didn't like Chen Xiaotong at the beginning.

Mainly because of Gu Changan.

She has lived with Gu Changan since she was a child, and Gu Changan treats her like a sister like a mother. Of course, she hopes that Gu Changan can be with her favorite brother Gu Yue'an.

But things are tricky, but Gu Yue'an didn't like Gu Chang'an, but fell in love with Chen Xiaotong.

Since then, Gu Changan's lovesickness has almost become a disease.

She still can't forget how Gu Changan wrote countless Gu Yue'an on the paper under the lamp on countless nights, and then burned it, for fear that others would see it.

So before we met, she already hated Chen Xiaotong a little bit.

When we met later, Chen Xiaotong's appearance, temperament, demeanor and demeanor were all disappointing, and she didn't like it much, at most, she didn't hate it.

Then, that happened.

After that incident, Li Xiaoran had a deep hatred for Chen Xiaotong. After Gu Yue'an disappeared, she even planned to assassinate Chen Xiaotong many times. If Gu Chang'an hadn't repeatedly stopped her, she might have made it.

Now, now, how does she feel?
After the first battle in Guanhai City, Gu Yue'an had said that he would never owe Chen Xiaotong any more.

Theoretically speaking, Li Xiaoran has neither love nor hatred for Chen Xiaotong. Whether she heard that Chen Xiaotong is going to marry Chen Xiaofeng, or whether the wedding invitation was sent to her, she should remain indifferent.

In other words, Chen Xiaofeng's move is useless, a useless move.

Chen Xiaofeng made a mistake.

Li Xiaoran also hoped so much, she wished she could be tougher, do nothing, and act as if nothing happened.

But she can't, she must do something.

Because she knew Gu Yue'an too well.

This, the man who had saved her from death.

That night outside Guanhai City, when Chen Xiaotong was dying and Gu Yuean attacked Tingchao Ke like crazy, she knew that there was no clear relationship between him and Chen Xiaotong for the rest of his life.

If she really didn't do anything, then Gu Yue'an would come back one day, he wouldn't blame Li Xiaoran, but in the future, she might not have this brother.

So she had to admit that Chen Xiaofeng was really a terrible person, and his insight into people's hearts was simply despairing.

This was a trap that seemed useless, but she was bound to step into it.

She hated this feeling, this powerless, manipulated life like a pawn.

For this reason, she has been sitting on the viewing platform for a day and a night. When her subordinates reported the latest news, that is, the exact date of the emperor's wedding, she became more anxious.

There is no doubt that reason tells her that absolutely, absolutely nothing should be done.

But she already knew in her heart that she would definitely take that step, and her current struggle was futile, or, she was already doing it for her subordinates to see.

"Actually, he won't blame you. Believe me, even if a woman who doesn't want him dies, he won't be heartbroken." At this moment, Wanwan spoke again.

This witch is always afraid that the world will not be chaotic. She has said similar words in her ears, and she will not stop praying. She is always tempting her time and time again, telling her not to care about what will happen to Chen Xiaotong.

In fact, what she said was quite right, there was no need to risk the lives of so many brothers for an irrelevant woman.

Li Xiaoran was looking at the sea, she was begging for an answer, but more, in fact, she was waiting for that person to come back.

Wait, is a long time.

Footsteps broke the silence.

Li Xiaoran turned her head slightly, she knew that Xu Che was coming, she was already familiar with Xu Che's footsteps.

She also probably guessed the reason for Xu Che's visit, he also came to persuade him.

That's right, it's actually unnecessary, and everyone may not be willing, so, it seems that there is an excuse, when the time comes, brother can't blame himself, right?

As she was thinking like this, she heard Xu Che's voice: "Young master, everything is ready, when are we going to go to Gusu?"

"What did you say...?" Because she was so surprised, she even forgot to call Uncle Xu.

"Young master, the food and grass have been prepared, and the soldiers are ready to leave at any time. The journey to Gusu is far away. If you leave late, you may not make it in time. Please make a decision early, young master." Xu Che said calmly. It was as if Li Xiaoran had already given this order.

"Uncle Xu..." Li Xiaoran didn't know what to say.

And at this time, she suddenly saw a small dot slowly approaching on the sea surface far away, and it became clear.

She couldn't help but opened her eyes wide, looking far away.

she saw...

-----------

Compared with others, as one of the parties to this big wedding that will be held on the third day after the winter solstice.

Chen Xiaotong will not be in a good mood either.

Of course, she has already read it in the almanac and knows which day is suitable for marriage, and she has also heard about the date determined by the Ministry of Rites.

Even, with her excellent hearing ability, she has heard that a car carrying a large amount of goods is coming towards Chen Gong's mansion.

Autumn is over.

There was not even the sound of falling leaves, and it was eerily quiet outside, as if even the birds had disappeared.

In the past, Chen Xiaotong liked winter very much, the feeling of tranquility.

At this time, she can read in the study with peace of mind, without having to hear unnecessary noisy human voices because of her excellent hearing ability due to her strong martial arts at a young age, which disrupts her interest in reading.

She loves the quietness of winter.

Now, I don't seem to like it anymore.

I don't know when she started to feel loneliness, and she was a little afraid of loneliness.

For example, the day before yesterday, when Chen Xiaoju quietly left, she sighed inwardly.

Now she is fully expanding her ear power, she is listening, she is eager to hear some sounds, for example, someone's footsteps, the sound of stepping on the ground.

If it was that person who came, she must have heard it clearly.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded, and she suddenly turned her head.

The door opened, but it was the maid Fengyue who opened the door.

Fengyue looked at her own lady, forced a smile and said: "Miss, someone came from the palace and said it is... let you try the happy clothes."

"Okay, I see." Chen Xiaotong nodded, but his ears continued to listen.

She suddenly hoped that it would snow.

At least, it sounded like footsteps.

　Good night everyone.
