Chapter 12 The Death of the General

There are two kinds of tragedies in life, one is to lose the desire in your heart, and the other is to realize this desire.

------------------------------------------

*******

There are many people who have come to visit Boss Bai these days. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are the two most common people. They are very eager to use "The Eternal Life Skill" to heal Boss Bai. We told them sadly that Boss Bai is no longer helpful, but they insist on trying it out, and we insisted on not letting them try it. Finally, they left in disappointment. [bsp;    "This must be Xu Xingzhi asked them to test it. If they are sure that Brother Bai is indeed dead, they can take the opportunity to expand their territory in Jiangnan, and it is even possible to take over the Jianghuai Army. Don't forget that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are nominally Du Fuwei's adopted son, and it is reasonable to take over the Jianghuai Army." Luo Yan analyzed, "If you know that Brother Bai is pretending, I think they don't mind spreading rumors or directly let Brother Bai go from pretending to death when healing his injuries."

"Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling aren't that cruel, right?" I said in surprise.

"Are there few people who have various purposes under the name of visiting the disease these days?" Luo Yan sighed, "Once it involves its own interests, no one can still maintain their nature, let alone the matter about the overall situation of the world. I think if only the young commander army is left in Jiangnan, then their cooperation with the Song clan will begin immediately, and then the army will go north. This is the best time."

Indeed, just a few days after Boss Bai was stabbed, Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion alone sent three people to investigate Boss Bai's life and death while celebrating him. Li Jiancheng only came once on behalf of Li Yuan. He should be laughing now, and Li Yuanji came more diligently. I think this is because he thinks Boss Bai's death is beneficial to him, so that our Holy Sect can fully support him.

Yin Zuwen from the Holy Sect also came to see it and expressed his concern. To be honest, Boss Bai's life and death have little to do with him. He is optimistic about it. This is Li Yuanji. This is still the daytime, and there are many people who visit Lin Yuan at night. They are all sent by some people from the world who don't know what forces are sent, and there are many masters. Anyway, they are very lively when they come and go.

After five days of hard work, Boss Bai finally died. On this day, Shanglinyuan closed for a day and white flowers hung on it, which looked solemn and solemn. I don’t know how many people are happy, how many people are wondering, how many people are plotting...

Five days is already the limit. If you don’t die, Boss Bai will survive. We have three days to send Boss Bai out of the city. As long as we get on the boat and leave Chang'an City, we can use medicine to save Boss Bai. Time is very tight, so we can’t wait any longer.

At the same time, the plan to take out the Yang Gong Treasure House was also secretly carried out. We used Boss Bai's affairs to restrain Li Tang's attention and entered Yang Gong Treasure House in private. These things were not done by us, but by the hidden personnel of the Yingui Sect in Chang'an. We were all stared at by Li Tang's people and could not get rid of them. The more they watched them, the tighter they were.

On the first day after Boss Bai's death, we held a grand memorial ceremony and invited famous people from Chang'an City to attend. I specially set up a venue according to the way the leader of later generations died. I put Boss Bai in a expensive coffin without closing the lid, and there were a large number of white flowers beside him, so that the musicians in Shanglinyuan kept playing the sorrow and music.

These musicians usually play festive music or the tune of flirting and having fun on the court. Now they are not used to playing sorrow and joy, and they always feel a bit strange.

I took those well-known people to visit Boss Bai's body, proving that Boss Bai was indeed dead, and then I observed silence and bowed. Of course, they could not come in vain, and they always had to bring some gifts or something. We earned a lot of money this day.

I saw Li Xiuning and Chai Shao. They came together. It was obvious that Li Xiuning was still feeling a little about Boss Bai's death, and her eyes were a little wet. Chai Shao was obviously gloating. They just walked around and left without staying for long.

Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi came together. After the visit, they went to the back hall to taste the refreshments. This was prepared for the guests. After all, they all received gifts, so it is also worth giving me some snacks. We can't say that we are stingy, right?

"Is this General Bai fake?" Song Yuzhi asked in a low voice, "It's rare that you find such a similar person, and even I can't see any flaws."

"Where did this start? Boss Bai really died." I said in dismay.

"You don't pretend like you." Song Yuzhi exposes it.

"I'm pretending there," I retorted.

"If General Bai really died, you wouldn't have stood here." Song Yuzhi said with certainty, "You will make this world a big upset."

Song Yuzhi said something that stunned me. If this was not a plan, what would I do if Boss Bai really...

This is an assumption that does not exist at all. I shook my head and continued to do the task of taking people.

*******

The day after Boss Bai died, we hired more than a dozen carriages and lined up from Shanglinyuan in turn. There were people standing on each carriage. This was for scattering flowers. In the middle was the carriage that housed Boss Bai's coffin, and we were about to leave Chang'an City.

This is a kind of style. There is a horse in front of it, and there are black carriages behind it. White cloth is hung on the carriage. The musicians continue to play music. We must make this matter bigger and let the people come out to see. Only in this way can we put some pressure on Li Tang. If they insist on blocking it, we will let these people judge and judge. What is wrong with returning to their ancestral homes after death? Why don’t even let the dead go?

We have done a lot of public opinion work. In the past five days, from high-ranking officials and nobles to peddlers, we all knew about Boss Bai’s deeds. I also specially hired people to tell Boss Bai’s heroic deeds in various places, which is a bit of a storytelling.

Speaking of which, General Bai started among the grasslands. When he was born, he was thunder and lightning, and a strong wind blew. A green giant python appeared and disappeared over Taihu Lake and eventually fell into Taihu Lake. So General Bai was born... Anyway, people like to hear this these days, of course they can't be said to be a dragon. This is a taboo, and no one dares to say this in Chang'an City, that is to be beheaded.

In short, there is nothing wrong with mobilizing the power of the masses, so when we walked out of Shanglinyuan, there were already many ordinary people outside, but more soldiers were serving in the army and they were maintaining order.

The carriage began to start, Qing'er stood on the carriage wearing a white mourning uniform, holding the coffin with her hands, and her tears were crystal clear, looking so lonely and helpless. The white flowers all over the sky were falling, and the sorrowful songs and sorrows resounded throughout Chang'an, which made the spring in Chang'an City a layer of gloomy color for a moment.
