Chapter 215
Fu Mingxi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I think Brother Yin's reaction just now seemed to be jealous. If someone dared to joke with me like this when we were in Leiyin Palace, Fu Jing would look like this. Brother Yin is probably interested in our Crown Prince Right? If you are a real man, if you like it, you can say it openly, no matter whether you can be together or not, but at least convey your heart, this hidden thing is enough for a small family to make trouble."
"That's right, I'm happy and white, how do you treat me?"
Bai Man covered his eyes and stopped talking.This Yinhua looked stable, but it turned out that he was putting on airs, so he couldn't help being agitated, it's better that Bai Man can hold his breath.
Some people are really fortunate to be born in a wealthy family, otherwise they will be mediocre all their lives.
"I'm not very good, but I just think Brother Yin is a good match for our prince."
Yinhua's expression changed, and he became friendly in an instant, with joy in his voice, "Are you serious?"
"Is there any need to lie about this matter? And I always feel that our prince is too hard, and the affairs of the family are all on his shoulders. It would be good if there is someone to take care of him."
Yinhua immediately puffed up his chest, "I really want to take care of Manman, but Manman still refuses to give me this chance. He has always felt that his status is not worthy of me. You have a good relationship with Manman, and I think you are also a good person. People who can understand clearly, if you have time, help me persuade Manman, and when we become Taoist couples in the future, your benefits will be indispensable."
At this time, not far away, an elder of the clan called Yinhua, and Yinhua simply explained a few more words and passed.
As soon as Yinhua left, Baiman's expression darkened immediately, "What did you mean by those words just now?"
Fu Mingxi curled his lips, "It's not interesting, just say what you think."
"Do you really think I'm suitable for Yinhua?"
"Only looking at your status is your admiration, only looking at your own conditions is his admiration."
Bai Man looked at Fu Mingxi coldly for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing, his expression completely relaxed, "You are really interesting."
Fu Mingxi shrugged: "I said you can't like me, it won't work."
Bai Man snorted with a smile: "Stop being sentimental, I don't have a crush on you, but what you said just now is true. I am highly regarded in terms of identity, and I see him as superior. But why? Why is it because of my identity? It’s not as good as him, so he must marry me? He keeps saying that he wants to marry me, but in the end he just hopes that I can become his accessory, a decoration in his bedroom. But I don’t even have the right to refuse , if I reject him directly, he will definitely find an excuse to deal with the Bailing fox clan and put pressure on me. I know that Yinjia is not a good person, but if my sister becomes Yinjia's marriage contract, at least I will have more room for choice A little. Yinhua will have more scruples when doing things. I know that I am sorry for my sister, and I even threatened her to marry Yinjia, but I am not for myself, I am for the whole Bailing fox clan. If I With Yinhua, the Bailinghu clan will not really grow, it will only become a subsidiary of the White Tiger clan, just like other small clans, they will be swallowed up and squeezed by these big clans, and they will never recover."
Fu Mingxi didn't expect that Bai Man would tell him so much, and even directly told himself that he forced Bai Yuan to marry Yinjia, which was almost the same as his guess.
"But this is not a long-term solution. Bai Yuan may still have some sense of existence in the White Tiger Clan in the past two years after the contract was formed, but if she can't win Yinjia's heart, and Yinjia likes the new and dislikes the old, then this marriage contract can give Yinhua There will be fewer constraints, and you have to plan ahead."
Bai Man raised his head slightly, "Of course I know this. I have already started to make the plan that should be done. No matter what the price is, I will not let the Bailing Fox Clan become a subsidiary of any group. I will let the Bailing Fox Clan Back to glory."
Fu Mingxi frowned, "Regain the glory? What glory?"
"It's nothing, I just said it casually. Give yourself some encouragement." Bai Man smiled and turned to receive the guests.
Fu Mingxi looked at Bai Man's back, he was sure that Bai Man was not talking casually.
Recalling the real "History of the Demon World" that he saw in the basement of Zangshuge, Fu Mingxi guessed that Baiman must have read that book. He knew that more than a thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Bailinghu clan followed that book. A powerful monster cultivator, who was once a capable general under the powerful.
Thousands of years have passed, and other powerful generals have led the group to the top of the demon world, but the Bailinghu clan has been forgotten, left behind, and even bullied and trampled.
It is precisely because of knowing that Bai Man has so much unwillingness, that even if he gets along with his own sister, he still has to plan and plot a future for the Bai Linghu clan.
The toasters came and went, and Fu Mingxi followed suit.Pushing glasses and changing glasses on the wine table, the atmosphere is here, even with people you don't know, you can get drunk.
In the middle of the night, the banquet was over, and the attendants began to take care of the banquet hall, carrying the drunk guests to the courtyard specially for the guests to rest, and settled them down one by one.
Fu Mingxi also pretended to be drunk, collapsed on the table, and was carried into the guest room.
An hour later, the entire White Tiger Clan fell silent. Fu Mingxi turned over from the bed, and there was no trace of drunken sleepiness in his eyes.
He drank a lot tonight, but before drinking, he also specially took the elixir that can reduce the power of alcohol, no matter how much wine he drank, it was no different from drinking water.
In the dead of night, it was a good time for the second to explore the study.
I have already explored the study room before, and I am much more familiar with it when I go there again.There is no need to look at the places you have seen before. Fu Mingxi rummaged around, and after each rummaging, he would carefully put things back in their original places.
There is a painting hanging on the west wall of the study, a very beautiful landscape painting, but Fu Mingxi thinks that Yinhua should not like this kind of painting because of his pretentious temperament.Many hidden grids are hidden behind the scroll.
Fu Mingxi walked over and opened the picture scroll, only to see that the wall behind it was flat without any traces.Fu Mingxi reached out to touch it, and knocked twice to make sure that there were no hidden compartments on the wall.
Could it be that Yinhua really just put a painting he didn't like here for decoration?This is his own study, but there are things he doesn't like, so why bother?Just to put on airs?
Fu Mingxi was about to put down the scroll when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
The scroll of this picture scroll is made of mahogany, even if it is solid, it will not be too heavy, but Fu Mingxi weighed it and felt that the weight was a bit wrong.
Fu Mingxi took down the whole painting, holding the bottom scroll in his left hand, and the top scroll in his right hand. He weighed it twice at the same time, and found that the bottom scroll was indeed heavier than the top scroll.It is obviously the same length and material, how can the weight be different?
Fu Mingxi shook the scroll at the bottom lightly, but there was no sound.
He held the scroll and looked around, relying on his extraordinary eyesight, finally found that the protrusion on the left front end of the scroll could be removed.
Fu Mingxi twisted the protrusion, and after feeling the movement, he pulled it out slowly, and finally brought out a whole mahogany, and in the center of this mahogany, there was a golden key embedded in the mahogany.Because it fits perfectly with the groove, and the space inside the scroll is narrow, there was no sound when Fu Mingxi shook it before.
This setup is really ingenious.Ordinary people would only see if there is a hidden space behind the scroll at most, and it is difficult to notice that there is a problem with the weight of the scroll.There are only things of that size in total, and they won't be too heavy. If Fu Mingxi hadn't been as careful as dust, he would never have noticed.
But where is this slender key used?
A flash of inspiration flashed in Fu Mingxi's mind. He always felt that he had seen a similar keyhole at some point, where exactly?
Fu Mingxi glanced and saw the gap where Yinhua and Baiman temporarily hid when they came here because Yinhua and Baiman came in suddenly.
He walked over again, stood in the gap again, maintained the same posture as before, looked around, and finally saw the familiar small hole on the tall flower stand in front.
This small hole is on the edge of the base of the flower stand, which is quite inconspicuous.Moreover, there is a purple mist spider plant on the flower stand, and the long leaves of the spider plant hang down, which just cover the small hole. If it wasn't for Fu Mingxi's special angle when he hid here before, he wouldn't have been able to see it.Such a small hole, even if you look for it with a lantern, you may not be able to see it.
Fu Mingxi inserted the slender key into the lock, and there was a slight sound of mechanism behind him, and a bookshelf against the wall slowly opened at an angle.
Fu Mingxi curled his lips, the key and the keyhole are hidden so exquisitely, but the entrance to the secret room is still such an old-fashioned place, is it because conditions do not allow the entrance to be opened in a more ingenious place?
Fu Mingxi walked in, and saw the whole secret room clearly from the entrance, it was a small room not much bigger than a hut.
There is a table and a chair in the room, and there is a small cabinet next to it. There are some documents and accounts on the cabinet.
Fu Mingxi randomly picked up a book and read it, only to see that it recorded some conveniences given to the Bailinghu Clan by the White Tiger Clan over the years, and these conveniences were all handed by Yinhua.
There are spirit stones, pills, spirit materials, and even seconded staff.
There are several Zhuangzi lands outside, which apparently belong to the Baihu clan, but in fact they are all under the name of Baiman.
Fu Mingxi picked up another account book and looked at it. After reading a page, he found that it was not an account book at all, but a letter, written by Yinhua himself.It records every detail of how Yinhua and Baiman got along.
There were two people who went out to play together and met privately. Some of the meetings were described as cheating. Fu Mingxi could feel Yinhua's excitement between the lines.
Fu Mingxi couldn't read it anymore after reading a few pages. He didn't have a penchant for prying into other people's emotional privacy, and the content recorded on it made him feel...uncomfortable.
However, Fu Mingxi learned further that Bai Man did everything he could to get Yinhua's help.
There are many "coincidences" and "coincidences" in Yinhua's letters, but Fu Mingxi feels that these unexpected encounters have ulterior motives.
It's fine if you really like it, and it doesn't hurt to have a little trick, but it's just to calculate the sincerity of others for the sake of profit.
