The man said slowly, "I have always heard that the prince of Chengdu, Bai Yunlai, is an expert in martial arts and military skills. However, everyone knew that Bai Lingxue was the true princess, and you, Bai Yuncheng, were only the adopted son of the Old Duke. Bai, Yun, Cheng, I only found out today that you are actually a cowardly turtle. It's fine if you change your surname to Pang Rong, but now, you can actually watch your most beloved die in your arms and allow the real culprit to live free. I guess it's because Begonia was blind that she took a fancy to you. "
Following the direction of the voice, they looked over and saw that a vast army had already set up a formation, encircling the city gate and the official road to the point that not even a drop of water could leak out.
These provocative words that provoked trouble came from the mouth of the leader of the army, a young general.
This general was impressively mounted on a large horse. He then took a step forward, and was immediately exposed by the infantry, as if they were stars surrounding the moon. The young general was actually no ordinary general. He was the youngest imperial brother of the Anzhen Kingdom — Third Marquis Jin Yinghai.
Jin Yinghai was twenty-four years old this year. Although he wasn't as elegant and elegant as Bai Yunxiao, he was still mighty, domineering, and handsome. Today, he wasn't wearing any armor. He was just dressed like a noble young master. The royal blue robe was elegant and gentle, dancing along with the evening breeze like a faint mist. In addition, the man's figure was slender and vigorous. He was like a picture scroll, captivating the eyes of anyone who looked at him.
The horse that Jin Yinghai rode on was a strong and sturdy white horse, it was just like a loyal and valiant soldier. It continuously used its white hooves to dig at the thick soil, occasionally even raising its head and roaring a few times, in order to give its owner more prestige.
He then turned his gaze to Bai Yuncheng on top of the city wall. Bai Yuncheng did not have a good temper to begin with. Anyone who knew him would know that he was cold and aloof. However, this sort of cold aloofness would be restrained a lot in front of his loved ones.
Those who knew him also knew that after all these years, the person Bai Yunlai loved the most and loved the most was none other than his sister, the most respected princess of Chengdu, Bai Lingxue.
It was just that four years ago, Bai Yuncheng had met the only woman in the world who he had ever fallen in love with, the Begonia flower.
— — And so, today was not the same. Later on, other than his closest friend Bai Lingxue, he had another person whom he loved the most, the Hundred Miles Flower.
At this moment, Bai Yunxiao's figure was standing at the top of the city wall in dejection and despondency. The beautiful, fiery clouds illuminated his haggard, handsome face.
He vaguely remembered that every time he set off for the battle, he would first step onto the city wall to observe for a while. Every time this happened, only his little sister Bai Lingxue and his lover, Baili Begonia, would reluctantly send him off.
But now, the city walls were exactly the same as before, and his lover was no longer around. The beautiful Begonia had long since turned into a floating cloud. Every time he thought about it, it was as if his heart was pierced by thousands of arrows.
If not for protecting his sister Ling Xue, Bai Yunlai really wanted to leave this place that had left him with endless grief. From then on, he would live in the open and roam the world.
More than once, he held onto the bone ash urns of the crabapple and let his tears flow unrestrainedly. As they dripped down, he said in a choked voice, "crabby, forgive me for not being able to bring you out of this place, and for not being able to bring you out of seclusion. I owe my foster father two lives, my mother's, and mine. I promised my foster father that I would protect Ling Xue for the rest of my life, and that I would treat Ling Xue as my blood sister. Now, the third prince of the Starmist Kingdom is eyeing our city covetously, and if I bring Bao Er away, Princess Ling Xue and all of the citizens of the city will become the slaves of the Stable State … "
It had not been a day or two since he attacked the city. Before this, he had instigated the war without any explanation, but today, he was the one who had the wrong mind, and wanted to bring up the death of the Chinese flower. Moreover, he even accused Bai Lingxue, saying that she had killed the Chinese flower!
"Jin Yinghai, I admit that Begonia is one of your people. I also express my deep regret for taking away Begonia away from you. "But, regardless of whether Begonia is dead or alive, my feelings for her are something that the heavens and earth can bear witness to. Why should I need to explain it to you …"
After pondering for a long time, Bai Yuncheng's restless mood finally calmed down. He pursed his pinkish lips, and a resolute and unyielding expression appeared on his jade carved face.
"As for the person who killed Begonia, I've already investigated and found out. The culprit was Begonia's younger sister, Baili Nei'er. The reason why I didn't kill her was all because of Begonia's dying words. However, Hundred Miles of Neon had already jumped off the cliff to commit suicide, so it was all over. Where did Third Prince get all these words from? Was it just to sow discord between my sister and me? If that's the case, I'm afraid that the Third Marquis will be disappointed! "
Bai Yuncheng had thoroughly investigated the cause of death of Begonia, but the culprit … Sigh, who would have thought that after checking again and again, the culprit who killed the flower was actually the flower's younger sister, Baili Nei'er!
Begonia is a year older than Bai Yunlai, this year 24, Begonia's parents both died in the war between Anzhen and Mongolia, that year, Begonia was only 10 years old, her sister was 5 years old. The king of Anchor pursued the father of Begonia by the title, and raised Begonia and Ni'er in the palace to accompany the princess reading.
Four years ago, in order to be together with Bai Yunlai, Begonia betrayed her country and took her fifteen-year-old sister, Neon, to live in Chengdu.
All these years, Bai Yuncheng did not know that Begonia loves Bao`er, Bai Yuncheng, and also loves her own sister.
When the flower was about to die, it held Bai Yuncheng's hand and told him that the only thing she was worried about was not her son Bao'er, because Bao`er had Yun Cheng to take care of her and not Yun Cheng, because his kung fu was peerless. So, the person that worried her the most was her little sister, Neon. Neon had suffered the most, and if she hadn't run away with a foreign clan in violation of the laws of the Stable Country, her little sister Nei would still be enjoying life in the palace.
Moreover, Baili Nei'er was now nineteen years old, while the Begonia was only concerned with her own happiness, ignoring her younger sister's life and death matter. It wasn't until her life was coming to an end that she remembered how much she owed her sister. Therefore, she grabbed Bai Yunxiao's hand and forced him to swear on Bao`er's life that she would protect her sister, Neon, and take good care of her. Even if Neon were to commit a grave mistake in the future, Bai Yuncheng would let her live.
Bai Yunlai argued that the person who killed the Begonia was the third prince's younger sister, Bai Linan. However, Jin Yinghai didn't seem to care and he let out a cold laugh.
"Haha, he was killed by Baili Nei'er?" Jin Yinghai had already been carried around by the horses, but he still remained seated and steady. He raised his head, and his gaze playfully turned to the pale-faced Bai Lingxue as he leisurely asked, "Princess Lingxue, you personally saw Baili Nei'er jump off the cliff, right?"
Bai Lingxue refused to speak. Her mouth was tightly shut because she did not know what this Third Marquis, Jin Yinghai, wanted to do. She also did not know what Jin Yinghai had sensed.
Endless fear and anxiety completely surrounded Bai Lingxue, binding her tightly.
Bai Yunxiao turned his head to look at Bai Lingxue's sickly appearance, and habitually felt a tinge of affection for her. With a rare gentle tone, he said, "Little sister, you don't have to be afraid of Jin Yinghai, even if they send troops from the entire imperial family over, they would definitely not be able to shake our Jia City in the slightest. From the looks of it, you probably suffered from the cold. Go down and quietly rest, don't stay here and watch the battle. "
"Oh …" Bai Lingxue was stupefied, and only managed to utter a word after a long while.
However, when Bai Lingxue was about to leave, she did not expect Jin Yinghai to suddenly chime in, his voice was sonorous and forceful, completely unlike the lazy manner in which Jin Yinghai normally spoke: "Princess Lingxue, are you really leaving without worries? It's just like how, a few days ago, when Baili Nei'er fell off the cliff, didn't you hesitate for a long time before leaving? "
"Jin Yinghai, what are you trying to say?" Bai Lingxue staggered and almost fell off the city wall, as if a violent storm had suddenly arrived.
"Little sister, don't try to show off here." Bai Yunleng strode over to Bai Lingxue and supported her. Helplessness and hesitation could be seen in his eyes, "Listen to big brother and rest for a while."
With that, Bai Yunxiao waved at a maid beside him. "Wanyue, bring the princess back to the city."
"Yes." Wan-Yue put her right hand in front of her and bowed politely. However, when she reached out to help Bai Lingxue up, Bai Lingxue stubbornly refused to leave.
"Big brother, I can't leave. I want to know what kind of trick Jin Yinghai wants to play!" Bai Lingxue tried her best to remain calm, but her eyes were still filled with tears.
"Long time no see. I've suddenly discovered that Princess Lingxue is becoming more and more beautiful, especially with such a beautiful appearance that makes one's imagination run wild …" Jin Yinghai had clearly seen the person on top of the city wall. Who would have thought that such a beautiful and delicate princess would be the real culprit? Furthermore, the person she killed was her, Bai Lingxue's, in-name sister-in-law! Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that Jin Yinghai and the Hundred Miles Flower's childhood sweetheart had grown up together and that they had a bond that was hard to part with, at this moment, he was responsible for taking revenge for the flower. If it wasn't for the fact that this hatred had engulfed him from all directions, Jin Yinghai might really have been moved by Bai Lingxue's pitiful look and forgiven for her evil deeds!
"Jin Yinghai, what's the point of you being so persistent …" Bai Yuncheng let go of Bai Lingxue and switched to the maid Wan Yue to support Bai Lingxue. However, Bai Yuncheng's gaze was as sharp as knives as he looked at Jin Yinghai, who was below the city wall. He was extremely moved, and blurted out a question, "If you really loved the transvestite back then, you shouldn't have married someone else to be your wangfei! You also promised me that no matter who the Begonia chose in the end, we would wish her happiness and happiness. "But then, who was the one who went back on his word and repeatedly started wars to wipe out all life?"
Bai Yuncheng couldn't help but question him in an overbearing manner. His gaze was extremely sharp, as if he was going to tear Jin Yinghai into a thousand pieces in the next moment.
