Two days. On the third day, Bai Lian officially invited Huang Fu Mang to a family dinner.

The days of Shushan, whether it was during the period of living with Li Li~ or later taking Tang Ying to find the city lord of Huangfu Song for help, the people over there were very well entertained.

Now, the son of Shushan has come to Baishi, and everyone has solved the problem of food and accommodation by themselves. This is the face of a white market.

In the past two days, Bai Lian has been very busy for this dinner. Tang Ying and Thorn also assisted her in preparing dinner.

Yesterday morning, Huang Fu Mang called and told Bai Lian that he was going to leave Baishi and go to the north. He said that there was an imminent war in the north, and he wanted to go and see. It happened that Bai Lian asked him where he was staying on the phone, and he personally went to invite Huangfu Mang to dinner. Scheduled for today.

"Daddy!" During the banquet at noon yesterday, Bai Lian asked, "I heard that the Taiping Army is going to launch a winter offensive. Have you received any information on this? ”

Since last year's assassination, White Lotus has been hiding behind the world to recuperate, no longer collecting intelligence. The only way to ask my father about this is to ask my father.

"Hmm" Bai Hong raised his head, "The specific situation, I don't know it at the moment." It is unclear when the agents from Taiping City will come back. Lian'er! Since the White Market was attacked twice by inexplicable people, the population has decreased. I evacuated most of my agents back to the White Market, causing news to come in a bad time. ”

Regarding the agent, Bai Hong is very nerve-wracking and has a headache. Other cities are overcrowded, but the white market is the population in urgent need.

However, the population was insufficient, and it was attacked twice in a year, with heavy losses. Later, there was the Battle of Qingfeng City, and many people there fled to the White Market, otherwise the population of the White Market would become more and more tight.

For many reasons, the population of the white market has not been able to rise. The fertility rate of slaves in the White Market was extremely low, and for thirty years, statistics showed that there were less than 10,000 newborns. Many of these women, who were former slaves, were physically damaged and had no possibility of being pregnant again, while most of the male slaves were cut off by their masters and lost ~ seminiferous tubes. In addition, the population base of the white market is small, and the overall number of new students cannot be increased. In the present situation, the greatest source of population growth is the participation of slaves who have escaped from other cities and people with the same ideals.

Two wars, the population is tight. White-red had to recall the poor fifty-odd agents and return to White City to clear the other cities of the agents who had infiltrated the area.

In this way, what happens in other cities depends on the news. Bai Lian thought about it, and only later sent an agent to Taiping City.

Reporters can't dig deep into major events, they just report on the surface.

In this era, the reporter's meal is too unpalatable. Everything is in the hands of the mayor, and you, a journalist, are helpless.

Bai Hong was helpless to put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand.

"Daddy! I heard Huang Fu Mang say that the Taiping army is about to go on an expedition, and the time is uncertain. ”

Zhao Fen asked, "Who is Huangfu Mang?" ”

"The son of Huangfu Song." Bai Lian looked up at her parents, "You don't know?" ”

"Oh!" Bai Hong was puzzled, "Is it the boy who has been growing up in Jiangzhou?" I seem to be a little impressed. ”

"Hmm!" Bai Lian nodded, "The other person is in the White Market now, and I have invited him to tomorrow's dinner." ”

"Hmmm! You did very well. Huangfusong helped us a lot. "I have to see his son." Do your best to be a landlord. ”

"That's what I thought, too. My two sisters and I are already getting ready. ”

"I'll go home early tomorrow." Bai Hong said, "You must prepare carefully. ”

"I won't go to the studio tomorrow." Zhao Fen said, "I'm with you. ”

"Thank you, Mom and Dad!"

"Eat."

"Eat."

……

The night was shrouded in the distance, the cold wind was blowing, and the streets were sparsely populated with pedestrians.

Huangfu Mang got into a car that came to pick him up.

Mayor White-Red is a well-known figure in the world today. On the way to his house for a banquet, Huang Fu Mang was very excited. He sat quietly without saying a word, but his heart was not quiet, and the waves were surging.

In addition to being excited, thinking that his words and deeds have always been simple and rude, Huangfu recklessly hurts.

[Be sure to control your mouth, be sure to control your behavior. Huangfu is reckless, you dare to call it, it is not a problem to control words and deeds, you will definitely do it]

Syllable! The sound of wheels rolling over speed bumps in the doorway.

Huangfu opened his eyes that had been closed, and his mind was still silent.

[The last time I saw Bai Lian, I couldn't help it, and this time it's not a problem, come on]

Huangfu Mang was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his whole body was very uncomfortable and uncomfortable. But to a banquet, can the dress not be formal?

The emperor recklessly pulls the corners, cuffs, and collar. Syllable! Push open the door and get out of the car.

"Hello! Huangfu nephew! ”

With a warm smile, Bai Hong stretched out his right hand.

"Hello! White Mayor. ”

Huangfu Mang suddenly felt comfortable. He has been living with Xu Hua and them, and after a rough comparison in his mind, they are slightly different from the white and red mayors.

At this moment, Huangfu Mang understood that this man was not ordinary. In just 30 years, Baishi has never become a city brick by brick, and the momentum of development is getting stronger and stronger.

"Hello."

Before coming, the emperor recklessly supplemented the information about Bai Hong. The noble lady in front of her must be Bai Hong's wife Zhao Fen.

"Hello! White Lady. ”

Bai Lian and Tang Ying looked at the serious Huangfu Mang, and were secretly surprised in their hearts, this person became serious, not a casual person.

Huangfu Mang's heart was miserable, he was so pretending to be very uncomfortable. However, on this occasion, we have to do this, and we must not lose our identity.

"Let's get inside!"

Under the white and red leads, a mermaid runs in.

The house was brightly lit.

The group walked directly into the restaurant and sat down.

A steaming dinner with a smell of aroma.

"Sister!" Tang Ying leaned against the thorns and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you eat yet?" I swallowed. ”

After Tang Ying came here, every time she ate, as soon as people sat down, everyone immediately moved their chopsticks. And now, the others don't move the chopsticks, and Tang Ying doesn't dare to pick up the dishes.

"I don't know." Thorn replied in a whisper, "Sit down." You can't be naughty, otherwise what awaits you is Sister Bailian's autumn queen to settle accounts. ”

At this moment, the only servant of the house walked in, carrying a steaming cup with liquid in it. He lightly put down a glass in front of everyone, except Tang Ying.

When the servant walked past Tang Ying, she smelled the smell of wine.

"Welcome to the White Market."

White and Red raised their glasses, and everyone raised their glasses. Tang Ying could only raise her drink glass.

Gollum!

After a toast welcome, each automatic chopsticks.

"Emperor's nephew!" Bai Lian clinked glasses with him again, "I heard that you want the north, what important news do you have over there?" ”

Bite! Two people take a sip.

"Hmmm! There was movement in the Taiping army, and I heard that Luo Jun had set up a division of steel to prepare for a winter offensive. Where he's going to start, I don't know yet. Huang Fu Mang said, "In other cases, you need to go to the north in person." ”

"This Taiping army is not good." Bai Hong put down his wine glass, "The winter march is very difficult, and if you go north, the road is a big problem. Even if the Tianping army can capture a city, the losses will definitely be heavy. Not to mention anything else, the Taiping Army is unknown this time. It's been a long time, and everyone has tacitly agreed to twenty-three independent cities. Luo Jun's war must start with this independent city, and in this way, it will definitely cause turmoil all over the world. ”

"Why?" Huangfu Mang asked, "He led the Taiping army to clean up the independent city, and the division is famous." ”

"It's not the same time anymore." Bai Hong said slowly, "After the independence of the twenty-three cities, they have been lurking and have not started a war, which does not mean that they are not prepared. As long as the Taiping army is dispatched, its nest will be empty. They are all stupid ~ stupid ~ want to move people, and they will definitely raise troops to attack Taiping City. These twenty-three cities are moving, and the others will not sit still. Remember the Battle of Breeze City? The support forces in the other cities died, but only the Taiping army survived, which laid the foundation for it. Luo Jun will definitely have to pay for this. ”

"Mayor Bai's analysis is very convincing." Huang Fu Mang raised his glass, "Before, I thought that Luo Jun's war was a just war, but after you said so, it seems that it is not. ”

"The world is about to produce heroes." Bai Hong remembered the Scissors Door incident thirty years ago, "Heroes emerge from troubled times." ”

"Mayor White!" Huang Fu Mang said, "I am about to go to the north and want to find out the situation. I'd like to hear your suggestions. ”

Huang Fu Mang knew that Bai Hong and Huang Fu Song had a good relationship, and after weighing it, he didn't want to ask Huang Fu Song, so he asked Mayor Bai.

"In my opinion, you should go back to Shushan. I think you have the ability to lead troops to fight, and you can't work underground all the time. In the event of a full-scale war, the whole world will be plunged into a quagmire. Shushan City is a neutral city, and it is inevitable that no one will have crooked eyes. Shushan needs you. ”

"I'll have to think about it."

"Huangfu reckless! My dad was right. Bai Lian interjected, "It's right for you to go back to Shu Mountain, and the people who need your protection are also there." ”

Bai Lian more or less knew that the letter cared about the emperor's recklessness.

"That's right!" Tang Ying also said, "You ran out alone, what should I do with Sister Shuhan?" She's a woman who needs to be taken care of. ”

As soon as Tang Ying said this, the serious dinner changed suddenly. Everyone looked at Tang Ying blankly.

"The emperor's nephew." Zhao Fen opened his mouth and said, "You have the potential to lead troops to fight, maybe in the upcoming troubled times, you can fight your way out." ”

The thorn could not interject, and ate silently alone.

"I appreciate everyone's kindness." Huang Fu Mang didn't say the purpose of coming out this time, listening to Bai Lian's words, and the letter didn't tell her that he went to the north this time just to find an opportunity to kill Luo Jun with one shot, and Xu Hua's death was under his instructions, "I still choose to go to the north." ”

"Hmm!" "We have people going here too." ”

Last night, Bai Hong entered Bai Hong's study, grinding and hard bubbles, and Bai Hong had to agree to her daughter's request.

"Me." White Lotus said, "I'm going to the north. ”

"What about me?" Tang Ying's eyes widened.

"And me?" The thorn whispered, "You can't leave me alone." ”

Zhao Fen looked at the three of them blankly, and then looked at Bai Hong. What's going on? When did Bai Hong promise Bai Lian.

"I don't agree." Zhao Fen stiffened her face, "Lian'er is finally looking forward to coming back, and now she is leaving, I don't agree to this." ”

"You don't have to worry about the ability of the three of them." Bai Hong said, "It's good to go out, exercise, and return to Baishi to better protect the city." ”

This dinner, the exchange is undulating. In the end, Zhao Fen didn't say any more and agreed that the three of them would go to the north.

After dinner, Tang Ying served as the driver, and Bai Lian personally sent Huang Fu Mang away.

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for a lady to go to the north." Huang Fu Mang said, "Why do you go to troubled waters? ”

"I'm an assassin, and I'll go wherever there's danger." Bai Lian said, "Anyway, our three sisters are going to the north to have a look. We don't mind if you walk with us. ”

"You, like the letter, are strong people."
