Chapter 8: No worries to go back and forth
The woman clasped her fists and saluted expressionlessly, and the sound of her hands clapping together was solid, and Qi Huan trembled. He had no doubt that if there was an apple in the middle, it would be juiced by now.
"I don't think it's right."
"You don't have the right to refuse."
Yue Baizhi's face changed suddenly, her voice was a lot colder, and her tone was unquestionable. No one can influence her decision-making - the decision-making of the imperial court. Bai Ya knew that he only had this way to go, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to get a certificate of going to sea. It's not that he hasn't thought about the idea of smuggling, but at best, he can dig dogs, and if he throws it into the river, he won't drown, and the sea may not be able to tell. With no direction and no supplies, he can't go to the south alone.
"Her father was a military general sent by the second wave of the imperial court. At that time, the imperial court's attitude towards the Nine Heavens Kingdom was not as vigilant as it is now...... There's no way around it. Although he is not very old, he is also over half a hundred years old. In recent years, the border has been stable, and I have a daughter, which is quite negative, and I hope to live a stable life. The court can understand that he wanted to take this opportunity to let him receive the merit one last time and live a good life with his daughter. Who knows, this happened. β
At this time, Bai Ya stopped talking, but his eyes were fierce. He didn't want to look at the woman. Qi Huan can also guess that for this woman, saving her father is a little bit, but behind the scenes, there may be other purposes. Her father was a general of the court, forty or fifty years old, and he was considered in the prime of life, and it was impossible for the court to give up on him so easily. Unless he passively avoided the war himself, or petitioned the imperial court. It is estimated that if it weren't for the accident of the southern kingdom, the imperial court would only prevaricate.
Qi Huan secretly thought that Ao Yan should have been sent by the imperial court to spy on Bai. Anyway, he is the son of a sinner. Obviously, Bai Ya is also very aware of this, so there is strong hostility towards Miss Jun in his eyes.
But Jun Aoyan disagreed. She didn't respond with a smile, nor did she respond with a bad attitude. There was an innate arrogance in her eyes, a high ponytail tied into a bun, and a sword-shaped hairpin crossed in the middle. The girls on the market are all delicate and lovely jewelry, and this kind of appearance is probably made by someone she found, or someone gave it to her.
"In the evening, the palace will arrange for Miss Jun to go to the inn where you borrowed. Rest assured, from now on, your food, clothing, shelter and transportation within seven days can be counted on the head of the imperial court. You can leave whenever you want, and you don't have to report to me. β
The corners of Bai Ya's eyes jumped again. It turned out that after beating him into Beijing, and even some time before, the people of Xinyue Palace had already targeted him. His every move is in the eyes of these people. Thinking about it like this, my heart is a little itchy, and I can't wait to put my hand in and grab it. Qi Huan looked at his slightly trembling fingers and hurriedly replied for him.
"Thank you, Taishi. We will not fail in our mission and repay this kindness with our lives. β
On the way back, Bai Ya was unhappy. Qi Huan didn't know how to comfort him, and asked him if he would eat steamed buns, and then asked him if he would buy grass grasshoppers.
"You're teasing kids?" Bai Ya finally couldn't help it.
"Doesn't it make you unhappy?" Qi Huan spread his hands, "Besides, there are still seven days, what are you bothering about." β
"It's annoying. Lao Tzu just doesn't want people to take care of it. β
"Then you're still pulling me there?"
"Are you really going?"
Bai Ya stopped and looked at him with a strange look in his eyes. Qi Huan always felt that there was a "don't you be a fool" question in his eyes. He was a little speechless for a while, stunned for a while, and asked him rhetorically:
"Didn't you tell me to go with you?"
ββ¦β¦ I'll let you go? β
Then I'll let you eat it...... Do you eat? Qi Huan interpreted a new meaning.
"You're not being kind like that."
"I'm kidding, don't you see?"
Qi Huan choked again. He felt that this sentence was a joke. God, this guy can actually laugh. At that time, when he was about to threaten people with a knife against his neck, no matter how you look at it, it is serious. But in the final analysis, he can get to the bottom of it somewhat: although this surnamed Bai is fierce and vicious most of the time, his heart and eyes are really not bad.
"Well, brother really wants to help you." Qi Huan shook his head, "Looking at you like this, there must be no wives and children at home." If you really put your life on the south of the country, you won't even have a tomb for you. β
Bai Ya suddenly smiled, but his expression was a little deliberate. Although he really wanted to show that he was in a good mood, people saw it and thought it was better not to laugh.
"Walking the rivers and lakes should not be greedy for life and afraid of death. But you, there is no one to take care of at home? β
Qi Huan sighed.
"If there is...... When you threatened me, I resisted desperately. You see, what girl would like a poor boy? has no fixed residence, no house and no savings, and he can't support a child like a general. β
"Where's your father?"
"I have a lot of brothers and sisters in my family, and no one can take care of me when I was a child. My father and mother are both businessmen, running outside every year, and suddenly throwing a weaned child to the old man during the New Year's holiday. Now the two old men have returned to the west, my biological parents, there is no longer a shadow. Many of my brothers and sisters are worried about it, and some people have inquired, but there is no news. As for me, to be honest, I inherited their emphasis on profit over separation. gave filial piety to grandma, and the life and death of those two ...... Honestly, it has nothing to do with me. β
Bai Ya looked him up and down, and looked at him as if he had seen him for the first time. Qi Huan opened his hands upright, and followed him to scrutinize. He seemed to weigh the truth of these words, and as if he was judging what kind of person he really was. After a long time, he flicked his sleeves and continued to walk forward.
"Don't hold me back."
"Fart, don't underestimate me."
The two of them were not in a hurry to go back to the inn. They were walking around the downtown area, and they heard someone say that a wonton shop was old and ready to go and see it. As a result, I queued for most of the day, I don't know if there is a filling as big as a fingernail in a wonton, the attitude is still poor, the store is still dirty, and it is a waste of feelings.
"This pee wonton can pee out."
"Shhhh
Qi Huan muttered. He was really afraid that this kid would make a mess again. When I thought that I would have to spend this person's money in the future, it was really not cost-effective to use it to pay in this kind of place. Fortunately, someone in white was enough to give him face, and he didn't care.
Back at the inn, it was already dark. Bai Ya was really still haunted by the bowl of wontons, and he started chattering halfway through.
"I would have started scolding the street a long time ago."
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault, right?"
"If I didn't say you, why would you swallow your anger? There are so many people like you, and they are so arrogant. β
"Who doesn't want more than one thing is better than one thing less. Those who are leaving, keep a low profile and don't get into trouble. β
"It's because they're leaving, so they can have a good memory."
"Okay, okay, you go, go now, I won't stop you. What's going on......"
As soon as they entered the lobby of the inn, they saw the specially dressed woman sitting at the top of the stairs, a little side dish in front of her, which was almost finished, and a small jar of wine I don't know how much was left. It's not a military uniform, but it's not a casual dress either, and I don't know what's wrong with wearing it on weekdays. After a while, Bai Ya walked straight over without even looking at her. Qi Huan followed, thinking in his heart: Don't talk, don't talk, don't talk, don't talk......
"The two young heroes, please stay."
Damn it.
Bai Ya ignored her and walked up the eleventh staircase. Qi Huan was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say. Immediately afterwards, Ao Yan added:
"Waste is not a good habit. There's still half a jar of wine here, if you don't mindβ"
With a snort, Bai Ya flipped off the armrest and sat down on the spot. Qi Huan felt a dull pain in his temples, and sat a little stiffly between the two facing each other.
"You see if you don't want to be a ......?"
Qi Huan laughed with her, and she actually knew very well in her heart that she was clearly trying to pull them to talk. Bai Ya's eyes were still the same as dead people, and there was no change at all, but he swallowed back all the complaints he had complained about before, and he didn't say a word. Jun Aoyan picked up the wine jar with one hand, poured two bowls of wine for them, and threw them accurately in front of the two of them, without spilling a drop.
Jun Aoyan took the lead in raising the bowl, lifted the wine as a sign of politeness, and drank it all. Then, she wiped the corners of her mouth and poured another bowl.
"I know Bai Shaoxia has an opinion about me." She was a person who understood, opened the skylight and said brightly, "I know your worries, after all, I am a person sent by the imperial court. It's just that you're overthinking. None of your actions have anything to do with me. I can tell you clearly that the Moon White Zhi Yue Taishi does convey the meaning of asking me to look at you, but I will not do this, my purpose is only to find my father, and I have the same goal as you in this regard. I have no authority to bind your actions, and I don't need you to ask what I choose. I will make these words clear to you from the beginning, and I hope you understand. β
Bai Ya seemed to be looking at her, as if he didn't. He also lifted the bowl and poured it into his stomach. Qi Huan didn't understand if this was some level of acceptance, and his gaze swayed between the two.
"That's what you said." Bai Ya buckled the bowl, "From the moment we got on the boat and left the sight of those officials, we didn't care who we were, and it didn't matter if we were dead or alive." When we get to our destination, we go our separate ways, okay? β
"I can't guarantee that." Jun Aoyan also had a straight face, "If I judge that my direction is consistent with yours, I don't think we should deliberately avoid it." In a foreign country, one's own people should be united. If you don't want to, at least in what you want to do and what you do, it just so happens that we are on the same page, and no one should bind anyone. β
Bai Ya was impatient again.
"Who is with your own people? As long as you are him...... Don't follow Lao Tzu, okay? If you come along, I'll take a detour. I can't hide if I can't be provoked? You're right, don't raise your sword in a foreign land. Really, I can't trust the court. If you hack me to death with a knife, I believe it. β
"Not really." Jun Aoyan said lightly, "Then, the next step is to determine the itinerary." β
"Whatever you want."
Bai Ya put down the bowl and got up and left.
