" It's alright. After that old Daoist touched my bones, he said that I could enter the sect. I heard that although the Qian Gate has extremely high requirements for its disciples 'aptitude,"
" But it doesn't really matter if I'm diligent or not when it comes to training. This suits my temper."
This friend of his was good at everything, but he was too playful. However, after being disturbed by the other party, he temporarily forgot about the Scarlet Flame Case.
Due to the situation of the four girls, Xiao Jingbai took the five of them to a nearby town inn.
" Shopkeeper, here's the money. Arrange for someone to buy four sets of clothes for the girls and send them to the four people who just went upstairs."
"Yes, sir."
After Mu Qing arranged everything that Xiao Jingbai had instructed her to do, she bought some wine and drank with Xiao Jingbai on the first floor of the inn.
Big Brother Bai, what you said today really scared me. You're a prince after all."
" It'll be fine as long as I explain it clearly. Besides, I'm no longer a prince."
Mu said," What are you talking about? His Majesty didn't remove your status as the White King. In addition to the ten pearls that he hasn't given you yet, you're still the guardian of Daliang."
Recalling what the Liang Emperor Xiao Chuan had done in recent days, it was very difficult for her to forgive him.
As the ruler of a country, Xiao Chuan did not do anything wrong.
What really killed the Red Flame Army was not the crime of treason, but the Lin family's high merit.
10 years ago, Lin Xie and Yan Que had helped Xiao Chuan to abdicate and become Emperor Liang. Xiao Chuan was worried that Lin Xie and Yan Que would help the other princes to abdicate and become the second Emperor Liang.
Yan Que, who had seen through Xiao Chuan, had long lived in seclusion in the Taoist temple and did not care about the affairs of the world. Lin Xie, who was concerned about Daliang, had always chosen to station his troops outside, but his repeated achievements were still feared by Xiao Chuan.
Whether or not I'm a prince has nothing to do with whether or not I can protect Daliang. As long as I have the heart, even ordinary people can protect the country."
The two of them drank and chatted happily. In a short while, Mu Qing fell drunk on the table. The four girls had also finished dressing up and came downstairs.
The four girls were not particularly beautiful, but they were still eye-catching.
" The four of you have made my eyes light up. This little brother Mu Qing is a little too drunk, please understand."
Xiao Jingbai took the lead to break the awkward atmosphere. From the words and actions of these women, they should be daughters of noble families.
" Milord, we can't repay you for saving our lives. Whether we live or die, we will serve you from now on."
Seeing that the four of them were about to kneel down again, Xiao Jingbai released his internal energy and pinned it on their knees.
" Your lives belong to you. From your words and actions, I can tell that you have the demeanor of a great family. May I ask about your backgrounds?"
The girl sitting closest to Xiao Jingbai sighed slightly and said with a slightly weathered tone,
We were originally the four daughters of King Huai of South Chu. My names are Yuwen Jing, Yuwen Hua, Yuwen Shui, and Yuwen Yue."
Xiao Jingbai narrowed his eyes slightly. Yuwen was the surname of the royal family of South Chu. He did not expect these four women to have such a big background.
From Yuwen Jing's words, he understood that their father, the King of Huai of South Chu, Yuwen Duan, had been framed and killed by a traitor.
The four of them had no choice but to flee to the borders of Daliang to escape the pursuit of the royal family. However, they did not expect to suffer an undeserved calamity at a black spot.
However, the surname Yuwen had another meaning to Xiao Jingbai. In the Central Plains of the Five Chaos, Yuwen was a big surname in the Xianbei tribe.
" What are your plans?"
" What choice do we four weak women have in this chaotic world? If you don't mind, we four sisters are willing to serve you for the rest of our lives."
" If you want to follow me, you must first change your name and be prepared to be my slaves for the rest of your lives."
The change in Xiao Jingbai's attitude surprised the four women. As the eldest sister, Yuwen Jing still asked her own doubts.
Hearing this question, Xiao Jingbai smiled without saying anything and drank the wine in his glass.
Go to sleep early. Because of the name Yuwen, I can't help but want to kill you."
The plain words sent chills down the women's spines. After Xiao Jingbai brought Mu Qing back to the room, the younger Yuwen Yue finally couldn't help but ask.
" Big Sister, why, why does Daren hate this surname so much?"
Yuwen Jing silently glanced at Xiao Jingbai's room and sighed in his heart.
" If I'm not wrong, Milord should be one of the few people who knows about the chaos in the Central Plains."
" During the Western Jin Dynasty, our Xianbei tribe, together with the Xiongnu, Jie, Qiang, and Di tribes, invaded the Central Plains. Our five tribes also established their own governments to confront the Han people in the Central Plains.
" Daliang is the last Han dynasty on this land. Therefore, the fact that South Chu, Great Yu, and North Yan never fought over the past few decades is a disguised form of cooperation to destroy Daliang.
" Then, Big Sister, are we still following Milord?"
The four women made up their minds and walked to the attic. Just as they were about to kneel down, they were pressed against their knees by an internal force.
At this moment, a voice slowly floated out from the room, making the four women unable to resist.
"From today onwards, your surname will change to Sin. Rest early."
Jinling-
The palace.
Today was the day King Jing, Xiao Jingyan, visited his mother. After returning from the Northern Region, Xiao Jingyan had been staying in Jinling for this day.
Emperor Liang seemed to know what Xiao Jingyan would say to him and ignored all requests for an audience.
It made King Jing run into a wall all day long, so much so that he only let it go after Gao Zhan reminded him.
King Jing's mother was only a concubine, and she lived in the most basic Zhi Luo Courtyard in the harem.
At noon, Xiao Jingyan arrived at Zhi Luo Courtyard.
Jing Pin was already waiting in the courtyard. When Xiao Jingyan entered, she saw her mother.
"Your son greets mother." " Quickly get up. I made your favorite osmanthus cake. Come in with me."
Consort Jing dismissed the servants and stayed alone in her room with King Jing.
After closing the door, Consort Jing impatiently held Xiao Jingyan's hand and asked.
Is there any news about Lin Shuai and Xiaoshu?"
Seeing his mother's worry, Xiao Jingyan felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't tell her the cruel result.
" I've been in Jinling for a long time but I didn't receive any news of any survivors from the Red Flame Army. Xie Yu and Xia Jiang brought 70,000 identity bracelets back to the Imperial City, including Lin Shuai and Xiao Shu's."
After listening to Consort Jing sitting weakly on the ground, the tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled.
" Xiaoshu is only 18 years old. She's only at the age of 20. How could she suffer such an undeserved calamity?"
Consort Jing would only reveal her true feelings when she was beside her closest kin.
In order to live a peaceful life, one had to be intelligent and patient. The more one stood out, the more dangerous it would be.
When Jing Yan was visiting, Consort Jing had cried several times and fainted on the bed.
After Jing Yan left, Consort Jing, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, slowly opened her eyes.
Different from the previous gentleness, Consort Jing was so calm that it made people fearful.
" Big brother Xie, you saved my life. Wait for me, wait for me to find a chance to redeem you. I want this Xiao Chuan to pay the price he deserves."
Langzhou-
After a few days of travel, they finally arrived at the most famous province in Daliang, Langya Mountain.
However, Mu Qing felt that the atmosphere was very strange.
The four girls had become Xiao Jingbai's female slaves, and his Big Brother Bai's attitude towards the four of them had completely changed. Standing beside him, he could feel the cold air emitted by the other party.
Finally, when they were resting in an inn, the four women standing behind Xiao Jingbai made Mu Qing unable to help but ask,
Big Brother Bai, what exactly happened that night? How did you treat them?"
Xiao Jingbai did not immediately reply to Mu Qing's words, but gestured for the four women to sit down.
" Mu Qing, have you heard of the story of the Five Revolutions in the Central Plains?"
As expected! The four women were shocked when they heard Xiao Jingbai say this. It was exactly as their eldest sister had predicted.
When I was young, my father forced me to read books. I did understand a little. Why?"
Bai asked," Do you know why the surrounding countries attacked our Daliang Kingdom and not the other countries?"
Mu Qing scratched the back of his head and said after thinking for a moment. " Is it because we have vast land and abundant resources?
Seeing that Mu Qing was still a little confused, Xiao Jingbai couldn't help but roll his eyes.
From the original novel, he had thought that Mu Qing was a useless person who could not afford to pay. Now, it seemed that it was true.
While the dishes were being served, Xiao Jing patiently explained the history of the Five Lakes Chaos to Mu Qing, especially when he heard that the Han population had been reduced by two-thirds.
Mu Qing looked at the four women with a cold gaze. If he did not know that the four women had changed their names to slaves, Mu Qing would have already drawn his sword.
"Come, come, come! The Lang Ya Expert Ranking has been updated again. The White Prince of Daliang has become a legend again.
A tender voice came from outside the inn. Mu Qing's eyes lit up as he ran out. Not long after, Mu Qing walked in with a file.
" Hehe, Brother Bai, quickly come and see if there's any new change in the evaluation of you on the Lang Ya Board."
When the four women heard Mu Qing's words, they looked at Xiao Jingbai in shock. The Langya Board was also very famous in Southern Chu.
Those who could enter the Lang Ya Board were all favored by the heavens. Could it be that his master was also a member of the Lang Ya Board?
" A white-haired Fallen Emperor Chu, Saint Spirit Sword Heart Devouring Ten Thousand Army, Brother Bai, you're probably the person who updated the Lang Ya Board the fastest in history."
Yuwen Jing could not suppress his curiosity and asked Mu Qing.
" Young Master Mu, did you just say that to describe Young Master?
Mu said," That's right. Don't you even know who your master is? He's the strongest swordsman in the world."
" Uh, no, it's Sword God."
The people at the neighboring table also heard what Mu Qing said, and many of them began to whisper.
Just like this, the news spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. In a short while, a group of people surrounded the entrance of the inn, all for the sake of catching a glimpse of the Sword God, Xiao Jingbai's, elegant bearing.
Mu Qing did not expect such a thing to happen. Based on the current situation, it was impossible to leave for a while.
" Hehe, Big Brother Bai, I'm sorry. I was too excited, too excited."
Xiao Jingbai rolled his eyes and ignored the other party. Instead, the four women looked at him with admiration.
" Hurry up and eat. I'll bring you out after you're done. Have you thought about what you want to do in Langzhou?"
"Langya Pavilion is the only place you can see in Langzhou. How can you not go and take a look at the most beautiful scenery in the world?"
"Are we going to Langya Pavilion?"
However, Lin Shu was in the Medical Pavilion, which was located in the northernmost part of the Langya Pavilion. Ordinary people were not allowed to enter, so there should be no problem.
" Then there's no need to rush. The scenery in Langya is the most beautiful in the morning. Let's go up Langya Mountain tomorrow."
Because of Xiao Jingbai's appearance, the waterside pavilion that surrounded the inn was impassable. The innkeeper finally couldn't help but walk to everyone's side.
Your Highness White King, look at this."
Xiao Jingbai waved his hand and said what the boss wanted to say. His internal energy surged into his throat and the sound reached everyone's ears.
" Can everyone disperse?"
Upon hearing King Bai's words, everyone dispersed.
Xiao Jingbai was another guardian of Daliang after the Red Flame Army. As long as he spoke, everyone would listen unconditionally.
The Langya Pavilion, located at the top of Langya Mountain, was a beautiful and elegant manor. There were pavilions and pavilions in the garden, beautiful women and spiritual servants. There was a wide stone road outside the garden that meandered down to the official road at the foot of the mountain.
People from all over the world could easily reach this place and enter its gates at will.
Xiao Jingbai and the others arrived at the foot of Langya Mountain early the next morning. The beautiful scenery along the way made Mu Qing intoxicated.
Mu Qing, who had been under house arrest by Emperor Liang since young, had never seen such a majestic sea of clouds.
" How do you feel? Do you want to go to the Langya Pavilion or leave after seeing the Langya Mountain Water?"
Mu replied," Of course I have to come up. Since we're already at Langya Mountain, how can we not go to Langya Pavilion? If we don't go now, who knows when we'll come up again?"
The six of them chatted as they walked. In a short while, they arrived at the top of Langya Mountain. Looking at the towering Langya Pavilion, Mu Yun was amazed.
Medical Pavilion-
Lin Shu looked at Lin Chen doubtfully as he ordered a Langya disciple to seal the Medical Pavilion.
" What are you up to this time?"
" Now, I have two pieces of news. Same old rules, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear?"
