I can tell fortunes, so I’m not easy to mess with [Cross Book]

Hearing this prompt, Bai Yiling was finally able to confirm that the little fox in front of him was his old friend. He was also very happy to see this, and immediately squatted down and flicked his pointed ears lightly: "Why are you back? ? Can't find anything to eat?"

Qiu Zhong laughed and said: "This little fox is very human, and he probably came to thank you. The concierge heard a knock on the door outside, and when he came out to look, he squatted here and ignored anyone who fed him and told him to come in. I only recognize you."

Bai Yiling stroked the fur of the fox, his heart softened suddenly.Now it is not a matter of points, but being dependent on such a gadget seems to really make people feel better.

He wanted to hug Lu Yu up, but Lu Yu opened his mouth to hold the corner of Bai Yiling's sleeve, looking at him with a pair of dark round eyes, as if he wanted to say something.

Bai Yiling quickly said: "It's quite cold outside, please go in first. By the way, tomorrow send someone to talk to Chang Lingwei and send Zhang Ming's gold and silver back to his wife. You say that, he knows what to do."

Qiu Zhong agreed, and after he entered, Lu Yu let go of Bai Yiling's sleeve, led him to the side of a pine tree, and started digging at a slightly raised snowdrift.

Bai Yiling stood beside him patiently, watching the little fox shovel the snow.After a while, the fox pulled out a vial made of sapphire with its paws.

He swept away the cold snowdrops on the bottle with his tail, clamped the small bottle with his front paws and pressed it on his belly to cover it, and when his hands were not so cold, he raised his paws and handed it to Bai Yiling.

It was cold outside, and Bai Yiling brought the fox and the bottle back to the mansion. He washed and changed his clothes before he curiously looked at the contents, and found that it was a scarlet pill with a fragrant smell. This one, but I can't tell what kind of medicinal material it is made of.

Bai Yiling: "This is..."

Lu Yu was a bit annoyed, he could speak, but he was afraid of frightening the other party by speaking, or being treated as a monster by Bai Yiling, so he had to use performance art to express his thoughts.

He first curled up his body and shivered, expressing that he was very cold, then got up from the table, ran to the side of the medicine bottle, pointed to his mouth with his paw, and made a gesture of "eat".

After "taking the medicine", Lu Yu suddenly became radiant, shaking his hair, sitting on the window sill with his head held high, looking at the snowflakes outside, his eyes were deep and energetic, as if to say, "Since taking this pill Medicine, you will never be afraid of the cold again in winter!"

Bai Yiling laughed loudly, looked at the medicine in his hand, and actually swallowed it heartily.

Lu Yu was a little relieved and a little depressed, thinking that he looked suave as a human being, but he was not as likable as a fox, and it took a lot of effort to send a piece of jade or an umbrella.

He had originally found this pill for him when he heard that Bai Yiling was in poor health. When we met before, he rubbed it in his hand for a long time. Seeing that the other party was very vigilant, he didn't dare to give it away. Now he just ate it as soon as he said it. .

why?You can't be a fox all the time!I'm so sad!

At this time, Lu Yu himself didn't think carefully about what kind of feelings he had for Bai Yiling.It's just that before he met the other party, he had never tried to get along with others from the perspective of a fox. The feeling of not being wary of each other and being with each other was really good, and it made him still want to Get back that relationship.

But even though Bai Yiling wouldn't put the favor of taking medicine on Duke Huai's head, Lu Yu still felt a little happy when he saw his complexion improved after taking the medicine.

[Points: +50]

The effect of the medicine is indeed very fast. Although it is not as effective as the hot compress produced by the system, it is still a rare good medicine.Bai Yiling knew from the very beginning when he found out that the fox could increase his points that he was quite spiritual, so he was not too surprised at this time, he smiled and patted Lu Yu's fur, and thanked him.

He said to himself: "I was lucky today, and I collected a lot of things... I don't know what Duke Huai meant by being courteous for nothing. Could it be that the assassination has indeed happened now? The jade pendant and the umbrella warned me? The jade pendant, the umbrella...what do they represent?"

Lu Yu: "..." Alas!

Bai Yiling thought about it for a while, but he didn't think of the meaning of the jade pendant and the umbrella. Instead, he remembered that Lu Yu's happiness index increased at that time. He gave himself 100 points for no reason, and it didn't seem like he had malicious intentions.

It's a pity that the original book made this character's psychology so vague that every time he met him, the plot was unclear, and it didn't mention how Lu Yu's misunderstanding of Bai Yiling as an assassin happened, which made him unable to prescribe the right medicine to solve the problem .

Bai Yiling sighed: "Forget it, let's deal with Xie Fan first. Seeing what Duke Huai means, even if he wants to play with me, he probably will have to wait for a while before doing it."

Lu Yu followed Bai Yiling in the form of a fox, not to be guarded, and often accidentally learned many secrets, but the more he learned, the more he felt that the other party was a mystery.

This is not the first time he has heard Bai Yiling mention the assassination.

Last time, before the case of the Wang family was solved, Bai Yiling also said that he had taken the blame for others. Lu Yu didn't know anything at the time. After some investigation, it was found that Bai Yiling had received great kindness from Lu Qi when he was young. The two seemed to have a relationship. Had a tangle.

And his uncle is indeed the object of Lu Yu's suspicion all the time.

So Bai Yiling did all this to help Lu Qi cover up something? ——But Bai Yiling cannot be blamed, after all, when he was at his worst, the person he met was not himself.

Lu Yu suddenly felt that the tip of his heart was pinched by a hand and twisted.

It hurts again.

When going to bed at night, Bai Yiling still reserved a place for him by the pillow, and Lu Yu curled up under the small quilt for a while, then opened his eyes silently.

The candle had already been extinguished, and the room was pitch-black. Taking advantage of this ambiguity, he silently watched Bai Yiling's face.

Do you like Lu Qi that much?But he doesn't seem to be treating you well at all.

If it were me...it would never be like this.

According to the rules of the state of Jin, generally there are honorable families who need to inherit titles. They need to determine the candidate for the heir before the head of the family reaches [-], and report it to the Great Etiquette Department for record. The unified reporting time every year is from the beginning of spring to the third Between the days of the third month.

The beginning of spring is approaching, Xie Taifei is only two years away from the fiftieth mark, and it is precisely because of this that Xie Fan is very nervous and moves frequently.

And the plum blossom banquet that Zhang Ming mentioned that Xie Fan wanted to do something happened just before the beginning of spring.

This plum appreciation banquet is huge and quite famous. According to the usual practice, it is held every year in the garden of Lu Qi, the younger half brother of today's son.

As the late emperor's most beloved Lao Laizi, although he was not able to inherit the throne because his father was still young when his father died, other than that, the fiefdom, manor, gold medal for avoiding death, Shangfang sword... other things that should be there, Lu Qi didn't lose anything either.

One of his plum gardens was built in the suburbs of Beijing. The plum blossoms in it are of various varieties and colors. A symbol of being among the upper class in the circle.

Bai Yiling has this invitation card every year, and this time it was not missed. When Bai Yiling was reading the invitation card, Lu Yu also leaned over, tilting his head to look at it with him.

Bai Yiling then asked this humane fox: "I'll take you to see plum blossoms together, do you want to follow?"

Naturally, Lu Yu also had a copy of this invitation, but it stated that His Highness Duke Huai was inviting, not the red-haired fox. When he heard Bai Yiling's invitation, he couldn't care less about anything else, and immediately nodded in agreement.

On the day of the banquet, Bai Yiling rode a horse to the Plum Garden. The little fox was put in a cloth bag and hung on the side of the horse's neck, showing a majestic little head. He looked proud and kept his eyes on the whole way, entering the arena smoothly.

At the same time, on the other side of the plum garden, a gorgeous carriage drove up, and the two guards who led the way were heroic and energetic. When the carriage stopped, they also jumped off the horseback at the same time. Coming down, it was Prince Huai's mansion with two guards in command, Shang Xiao and Qi Ji.

The two got off their horses, but they were not in a hurry to go into the garden. Qi Ji said to Shang Xiao: "Brother Shang, you said that His Highness knows about the banquet, and he will show up by himself when the time comes, but it's already this time, and he hasn't Appear, how can this be good?"

His tone was full of worry, but when viewed from a distance, his expression was serious, and he still maintained his royal dignity.

Both Shang Xiao and Qi Ji were Lu Yu's subordinates who brought him to Kyoto from the Fox Clan. They followed him since childhood and were very loyal.Both of them also haven't seen their master for several days, but Shang Xiao had seen Bai Yiling from a distance when he followed Lu Yu last time, and he had a rough idea of ​​his whereabouts, but Qi Ji was a straight-hearted person who didn't know his prince Where did the waves go again?

Shang Xiao couldn't speak directly, and said straightly: "Wait a little longer, there must be nothing wrong anyway."

Qi Ji asked puzzledly: "Why are you so sure? Your Highness has given you news, so why not give me... ouch!"

In the middle of his speech, he was suddenly hit in the head by a small stone that flew over from nowhere.

There are really not many people who can hit him. Qi Ji rubbed his head and looked forward angrily. Shang Xiao said quietly beside him, "Now His Highness has given you news, are you happy?"

Qi Ji: "..."

He felt that since he had grown up, he had never collapsed so much, that it seemed that the whole world around him had collapsed, and then built up again, unrecognizable.

He opened his mouth wide, unconsciously twisted his neck from left to right, his eyes followed the path of Bai Yiling's horse.

He clearly saw that Commander Bai reached out to rub the soft fur on the fox's head just now, and the little fox narrowed his eyes, rubbing Bai Yiling's hand affectionately with his pointed ears...

This is, handsome, unrestrained and dignified, always majestic and proud, not even afraid of the emperor, His Highness Duke Huai? ? ?

A hand stretched out, supported his chin, and closed Qi Ji's mouth. Qi Ji bit his own tongue sadly, and almost shed a tear.

It hurts, it's not a dream.

Oh, what a cruel life!

"Brother Shang!"

He said excitedly: "What's wrong, Your Highness???!!!"

Shang Xiao said deeply: "Perhaps, he has found the joy of being a fox."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at his colleagues: "Don't faint here, it will damage the image of the palace... Your Highness is already ashamed, we really have no face to lose."

Qi Ji said desperately, "What should we do now?"

Shang Xiao looked at the direction just now, and Bai Yiling had already disappeared, so he quickly made a decision: "Let's go in first."

Bai Yiling didn't know that his appearance indirectly caused a guard commander to have a nervous breakdown. When he arrived at the Plum Garden, he picked up the fox and jumped off his horse.

Bai Yiling is no stranger to Meiyuan.When he used to attend banquets, he even had his own exclusive place.

At that time, he had just been out of the Dark Guard for a few years, young and ignorant, and he didn't understand the power disputes in the court and the faction differences. He only thought that Lu Qi was kind to him, and he wanted to repay him with all his heart, so the relationship between the two was very close. It has been harmonious for a while, and many people know that Linzhang King has a good eye for Team Bai Sixth, and he values ​​it very much.

People from the Marquis of Yongding would naturally appear at this kind of banquet. Bai Yiling was very stubborn at that time and refused to sit with them, so Lu Qi ordered his servants to set up another seat for him beside him.

Thinking about it now, if he was willing to establish a good relationship with the Yongding Houfu, then Lu Qi would have used him as a tool to contact the forces of the Houfu, but because he didn't want to make such a choice, he was still left in Ze'anwei in the end. .Two results, it is difficult to say which one will be better.

Later, he grew up and understood a lot of things. Because he didn't agree with Lu Qi's actions, and he didn't want to be classified as the Linzhang King's faction, he planned to distance himself from him. That's why the transmigrator crossed over to correct the plot. , the relationship between Bai Yiling and Lu Qi completely broke down.

So Lu Qi's habit of reserving a seat for him continued until the previous year's Meiyuan banquet. The servants of Meiyuan saw Bai Yiling jumping off his horse from a distance, and they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.

They usually live by looking at other people's faces. Everyone can see clearly who their master valued before and who they disliked later, but now it is a bit confusing.

Why does the master still invite Commander Bai to the Plum Garden banquet as usual?For humiliation?Unforgettable old love?

So should they be more enthusiastic, or leave him alone?

The servants all said that it was really hard to be human, so they had no choice but to play it lukewarm, and went up to him with a stiff face, leading the way for Bai Yiling.

Bai Yiling knew what was going on in their minds, so he laughed it off and led Lu Yu straight inside.

Along the way, you can only see the eaves and walls, plum blossoms blooming, and clear hot springs lined up on both sides of the road paved with jade. In winter, there are bursts of white mist, as if the air is not so cold.

Bai Yiling was very familiar with this road, but he still kept his eyes on the road along the way, and followed the maid who led the way into the flower hall dedicated to appreciating plum blossoms.

It wasn't too early for him to arrive. At this time, there were already many people sitting in the flower hall. The banquet had not yet officially started. Some fresh melons and fruits that should have been produced in summer were placed in front of the guests, and they were enjoying the flowers and talking and laughing.Lu Qi was sitting in the main seat, and Liu Bo was sitting in the seat that should have been taken by Bai Yiling every year.

When Bai Yiling entered the door, he happened to bump into the Le'an County Prince's family, and because the two exchanged a few pleasantries, the people in the hall followed the voice of the conversation.Bai Yiling was tall and slender, with an outstanding demeanor, he seemed to stand out from the crowd wherever he stood, when everyone saw that it was him, they couldn't help but look at Liu Bo who had taken his place, and all of a sudden they became excited.

Everyone knows that Lu Qi and Liu Bo have an ambiguous relationship recently, but not many people know the true relationship between him and Bai Yiling. Seeing that the King of Linzhang will allow Liu Bo to occupy Bai Yiling's seat, they are all curious. what happens.

Everyone pretended to be chatting and laughing, but they were actually observing secretly. The three people they were observing seemed not to notice at all. Lu Qizheng was joking with Liu Bo in a low voice, while Bai Yiling turned around naturally, walked to another empty seat and sat down, laughing. Say hello to the people around you.

His calm attitude made the spectators a little bit more admirable than disappointing.Bai Yiling smiled all over his face, showing that he didn't take that seat seriously. Compared with Liu Bo's flattering expression and talking to Lu Qi, he was clearly superior.

After all, everyone admires a person with real ability. Bai Yiling was valued by Lu Qi at the beginning because he was young but had outstanding ability, and he made contributions in several major cases in a row, so his official career was smooth and his promotion was very fast.As for Liu Bo, he has no achievements at all, he is just a pampered son.

As for the reasons why the King of Linzhang may value him, it is nothing more than the obstruction of General Liu's residence, and Liu Bo's handsome face.

"It's just a position. It seems that Mr. Liu is happy. Maybe it's not rare for Commander Bai."

"Look... Liu Bo's clothes and demeanor, are they similar to Master Bai? How can I remember that he was not like this before..."

"Hush! Keep your voice down, you can't talk nonsense!"

In the state of Jin, masculinity was prevalent in the first place, and it was common for men to fall in love. For a while, there were people who thought whatever they wanted.But they probably don't know that Lu Qi seems to be talking happily at this time, but in fact, the corner of his eye has swept Bai Yiling several times back and forth.

Seeing that Bai Yiling really didn't care about anything, he suddenly felt depressed and put the wine glass on the table.

This movement was a little big, and the bottom of the cup hit the table, making a muffled sound, which attracted the people around to look over.

Lu Qi realized his gaffe, raised the corners of his lips to cover up, made a feigned angry expression on purpose, and scolded with a smile: "Where is Duke Huai? Why hasn't he arrived yet! This kid is always so slack in his actions. Everyone waits for him, it's really outrageous!"

The second prince Lu Cheng said: "When I came, I clearly saw the carriage of Fifth Brother, why don't you send someone to look for it?"

The fourth prince Lu Xie said with a half-smile: "Fifth brother is like this, and second brother is in vain. Uncle, don't wait for him. If we don't start again, I'm afraid we won't be able to see him until next year."

Everyone in the capital knows that His Royal Highness Huai has such a temper, and he doesn't buy anyone's face. Even if the banquet is held in the palace, he is not happy, and if he doesn't show up, he won't show up.It's just that only princes and grandsons like Linzhang King and Yi Wang dare to say this, even if others are left alone by him, they dare not say a word.

Lu Qi smiled and said: "That's right, let's start the banquet then."

No one noticed that while they were talking, the little fox in Bai Yiling's hand had disappeared.

Just now Lu Yu turned a blind eye to the two miserable subordinates, followed Bai Yiling in and sat down like a real pet.He graciously poured a cup of hot tea against the teapot with his little head, pushed a fruit plate, and peeled an orange and a plate of chestnuts with his little paws.

Bai Yiling ate a little to show face, at this moment the little fox ran a few times on the table, expressing that he wanted to leave for a while.

It was not easy for His Royal Highness Duke Huai to wear two vests. Fortunately, Bai Yiling knew that this fox could come and go freely and was very human, so he didn't treat him as a pet, so he nodded and agreed.

After the little fox left, he glanced calmly at the direction diagonally opposite to him, which was the location of the Yongding Hou Mansion.At this time, Marquis of Yongding Xie Taifei and second son Xie Xi were not in the capital, Madam Hou was not present, Xie Fan was the only host who came.

At this moment, he seemed to be a little restless, and he was looking towards the outside from time to time, with a nervous expression mixed with excitement - Xie Fan didn't know that Zhang Ming, whom he had bought with a lot of money, had been frightened by Bai Yiling and said everything Now, most of them are still waiting to execute his "conspiracy".

Bai Yiling smiled secretly, while watching the performance in the middle of the flower hall, while waiting for the legendary Mr. Han to appear.
