Bright lights hung at the corners of the elm's delicate Qingwei carriage, and the faltering light shone into the carriage, reflecting Bai Qingyan's deep eyes as bright and dark.

"If you drive a dog into a poor alley, you can't beat the dog, and you're afraid that you will be counterattacked." Bai Qingyan patiently explained to Bai Jinzhi, "Just achieve the goal, you don't have to do anything to kill them all, otherwise it will be useless for us to force them to a dead end and let them die." ”

Bai Qingyan's main purpose in making a big deal is to win the hearts of the people and train troops to suppress bandits.

Now that the goal has been achieved, and some of the people who can be used by the clan can be used by her, why not?

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and if the road ahead is desperate, they will have no scruples, Bai Qingyan is not afraid...... It's just a sideline, and it is inevitable that she needs to be distracted from these unworthy little things.

Bai Jinzhi frowned, he understood in his heart, but he didn't want to forgive: "The eldest sister can't help but look up to them too much, just their group of people, what can they do with our family?" Let them remain in the clan...... What an unwillingness! It's not as good as coming out of the clan! ”

"I thought you were growing up, why are you still so frizzy?" Bai Qingyan was not angry, with a smile in his voice, "When we return to Shuoyang, we still have to use people from the clan, and it is not good for us to leave the clan!" Now that he has won the hearts of the people, it is logical to pave the way for future military training, and this money does not need to be paid by our Bai family, isn't it good? ”

Bai Jinzhi frowned and thought about it, it seemed like this......

"Just now, although I told you not to help the expelled people, but the blood and family affection are there, can they watch their children and grandchildren or their parents suffer and not help them? We have a word in advance...... They know their mistakes and make mistakes, and they have them in their hands, and if they want to deal with them in the future...... It's not a matter of words? ”

Bai Jinzhi's eyes lit up, and he smiled hurriedly: "What the eldest sister said is true!" ”

She nodded and told Bai Jinzhi: "Everything has a degree, and if you pass, it will be a disaster, leaving a line and hiding your back hand is the way to control people." ”

"Little Four remembered!" Bai Jinzhi nodded seriously.

When Bai Qingyan's carriage stopped in front of the Bai family's residence, Shen Qingzhu saw a man with extraordinary bearing standing not far from the Bai family's ancestral house with a guard.

Seeing that Chun Tao had opened the curtain of the carriage, Shen Qingzhu stepped forward with an umbrella, protected Bai Qingyan from the carriage, and said in a low voice: "Big girl, there is someone in front of the Bai Mansion." ”

Quan Yu got down from the carriage behind Bai Qingyan's four carriages, and saw that Xiao Rongyan was quite surprised, but it seemed to be reasonable, and he couldn't help but look towards Bai Qingyan, and sighed in his heart that the people of Great Wei were really more open than the Jin Kingdom...... This Mr. Xiao admired the county lord, and he dared to chase after Shuoyang.

Xiao Rongyan was dressed in a white auspicious cloud with dark lines, and his waist was decorated with gold silk trim and warm jade, which was particularly conspicuous in this drizzly night.

Holding a sheepskin lantern in one hand and an umbrella in the other, Yue Shi stood obediently beside Xiao Rongyan, and the warm and clear light added a soft color to Xiao Rongyan's original deep and sharp facial features.

Bai Qingyan raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Xiao Rongyan, only to see a handsome man who was gentle and elegant, with a graceful and elegant demeanor, and saluted her from afar.

remembered that Xiao Rongyan said that she wanted to talk to her about a business matter, and she guessed that the matter was urgent, so Xiao Rongyan deigned to wait here.

"It's Mr. Xiao!" Bai Jinzhi smiled, "Why did Mr. Xiao come to Shuoyang?" ”

Bai Jinzhi guessed that this Mr. Xiao was afraid that it was for the eldest sister, and his heart was even happier.

Shen Qingzhu didn't know the situation, and when he saw Bai Jinzhi looking very happy, he faintly lowered his guard.

Bai Qingyan got out of the carriage and saw Xiao Rongyan walking towards her with her feet raised, she stepped forward and saluted and asked, "Mr. Xiao is waiting here for business?" ”

The drizzle fell on the surface of the oil-paper umbrella, moist and silent.

Shen Qingzhu, who was holding an umbrella for Bai Qingyan, looked at Xiao Rongyan with inquiring eyes.

"Exactly." Xiao Rongyan bowed her head, and the bottomless dark pupils looked at her with full solemnity, and saluted, "The stakes are very high, and you need to talk to the eldest girl alone." ”

Xiao Rongyan's eyes were calm and introverted, and he did not mean to be frivolous, but regarded Bai Qingyan as a person who could conspire with great things.

Quan Yu stepped forward with an umbrella and saluted Xiao Rongyan with a smile: "Mr. Xiao ......"

"Quan Yu's father-in-law is also ......," Xiao Rongyan bowed his head towards Quan Yu.

"The county lord returned to Shuoyang this time, His Royal Highness was afraid that the county lord would not have enough hands, and the people next to the whole fishery would not be able to run errands, so he cheekily followed the county lord!" Quan Yu glanced at Bai Qingyan, and then at Xiao Rong, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of unspoken smiles, "Mr. Xiao said to the prince that he had to go on a long trip to the prince on business, and it turned out that he was coming to Shuoyang!" What a coincidence! ”

Xiao Rongyan heard Quan Yu's joke, and smiled: "It's really for the white tea business, I came here to ask the county lord, and I hope the county lord can give me some advice." ”

"Little Four, you personally take the whole fishing father-in-law to the residence, and then let the steward settle the Prince's Mansion Guards, and work hard for the whole fishing father-in-law today!" Bai Qing said.

"The county lord's words have tormented the minion, the minion is just running errands!" Quan Yu did not dare to take credit.

"All fishermen, please!" Bai Jinzhi didn't want Quan Yu to pestle in front of his own sister and Mr. Xiao, so he stepped forward with a smile.

Quan Yu's eyes were bright, knowing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had the intention to match Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan, how could he be so ignorant and still leaned forward and hurriedly bowed and said goodbye.

Bai Qingyan bowed slightly, and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Rongyan: "Mr. Xiao enters the house for a tea." ”

Lonely men and widows, and they have to talk privately, in order to avoid suspicion, Bai Qingyan asked people to prepare tea in the Huxin Pavilion.

The octagonal pavilion in the center of the lake, the vermilion lacquer columns, are transparent on all sides, and there are four bright lanterns hanging under the high eaves corners, which reflect the lake surface very brightly.

It is as dense as a drizzle into the lake, and there is no sound, and it is hazy like a layer of mist on the surface of the lake.

The rain wetted the mahogany leaning railing of the lake pavilion, the brocade curtain in the middle of the column and the bamboo curtain of the Xiangfei were hooked up by the copper hook of the beast, and there were two copper crane top lamps.

Shen Qingzhu and Yueshi each held an umbrella and stood on the wooden bridge leading to the Huxin Pavilion...... No one dares to look back.

The wind became stronger, blowing a corner of the map on the stone table, Bai Qingyan, who was holding a lamp, stepped forward, raised his hand to press the corner of the map, and leaned over to look at Xiao Rongyan's unfolded map with the lamp.

Xiao Rongyan turned his head sideways, looking at Bai Qingyan with a calm gaze as black as ink, the candle flame in her hand outlined the curve of her fair and soft jaw, his eyes deepened, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore.

Seeing that there were several mountains circled with a red pen above, and the Niujiao Mountain not far from Shuoyang was extremely close, she looked at Xiao Rongyan in puzzlement.

"The mountains between Kongtong Mountain and Niujiao Mountain, my people have been around for several years, and they all bought a day ago."
