Chapter 108: Stars
Wei Shishi's gaze fell silent, he glanced at Bai Yi, didn't say anything, and ran up in a few steps, heading in the direction of Nuan Ge.
Early the next morning.
Bai Ling slept lightly all night, and the more tired he was, the harder it was to rest well, and it seemed to have become a difficult habit to reconcile.
"Awake?"
Bai Lingmo opened his eyes vaguely, and suddenly heard a voice coming from not far away, and some of the remaining sleepiness dissipated for a while.
Wei Fourteen was standing not far from the bed.
"Fourteen......" Bai Ling really breathed a sigh of relief, "You, you scared me." β
Wei Fourteen didn't delay at all, and picked the topic straight to the point.
"What are you going to do when I'm gone?"
"Go back to Chansang." Bai Ling whispered, "...... You should, already know? β
"What's going on?"
"That's it...... Walk slowly. Bai Ling said in a low voice, she smiled, "In the past, my father also brought me and Bai Yi over like this." β
"How are you going to get out of Yanzhou?"
"Since I'm here, I'm sure there's a way to get out, how many times have I done this......" Bai Ling said softly, "Today...... It's the tenth day of the new year, right? Are you still ...... Is it in time? β
"You didn't even ask me if I wanted to go and take this risk?" Wei Shishi said coldly, "I didn't plan to go in the first place. β
"Heh," Bai Ling closed his eyes again, "you lied to me. β
"How do you know I'm lying to you?"
"Fourteen." Bai Ling sighed, "Let's stop talking such negative words between us, didn't Bai Yi say something to you?" You...... Don't listen to his nonsense, I'm coming back, not only for your business, but more to see General Shen for the last time......"
"You answer me," Wei XIV whispered, "how do you know I'm lying to you?" β
"Hmm...... Gut feeling? Bai Ling glanced sideways.
"Another reason."
Bai Ling smiled, and after a while, he whispered again, "Sometimes I think I don't know you well enough, but sometimes, I seem to know you very well......"
Wei Shixi quietly looked at Bai Ling behind the gauze tent.
Bai Ling continued, "Actually, when Bai Yi told me that you didn't refuse, you guessed. β
"I didn't say no because I was still working with them at the time." Wei Shixi replied in a low voice, "I just don't want to tear my face." β
"Hmm...... yes, but I don't think you're going to do that, especially with a partner like the Deer Hunter, there's no point in keeping that face. You didn't say no right away, presumably...... Shaken a little. β
Wei Fourteen was speechless for a momentβas Bai Ling said, he was indeed a little shaken at that moment.
In these banished deer hunters, he inexplicably smelled some of his kind.
"Later...... There's always a chance. Wei Shixi said in a low voice, "Wait until I send you to Qiansang......"
"Not necessarily, fourteen." Bai Ling interrupted Wei Shixi's words in a low voice, "Zhou Jin wants grain and horses to exchange markets, and the Hesta people will not be willing to do this...... After that, no one can say what the situation will become in the north of the entire northern border......"
"This winter, it's a rare respite. When you send us to Chansang and then come back here, the attitude of the court towards the Hestas, and the attitude of Ginting towards them...... It may all change. β
"Instead, it's Qian Sang......" Bai Ling smiled, "Qian Sang is the place where you can go at any time." β
ββ¦β¦ What's the use of saying this now? Wei Shishi said in a low voice, "What is your plan to get out of Yanzhou, tell me first." β
Bai Ling sat up on the edge of the bed beside him helplessly, "Do you have to hear a specific plan before you want to leave?" β
Wei Fourteen stepped forward, helped her adjust the cushion behind her, and then sat down.
"yes, why didn't you tell me if you already had a plan?"
Bai Ling sighed.
"Let's just say that we didn't think much of it when we came here before." Bai Ling looked into Fourteen's eyes, "We only thought about one thing, no matter what Chen Yicong wanted to do, his goal was always us...... If things don't end well, we have to implicate you again, even if we escape in the end, we can't be at ease in this life. β
"Besides, even if it falls back into Chen Yicong's hands, it doesn't matter. I know what he wants, and I know how to deal with this person. There is always a way, just be patient...... What's more, I'm not alone anymore, so what's there to be afraid of. β
"However, last night, General Shen told me that after he knew that the emperor intended to detain my father, he had secretly thought of a way to secretly send him out of the city before the emperor came - it didn't matter if there were two more people with me, Bai Yi and me."
"What's the solution?"
Bai Ling shook his head, "I don't know...... We will wait for the morning after tomorrow when the mountain guest returns, and he will tell us the details. β
"You're not lying to me, are you?" Wei Shixi looked at Bai Ling with some suspicion, "Why did Shen Jichuan do this?" β
"He didn't say it, but I guess it's because Hui Shi ......," Bai Ling couldn't help but laugh, "Probably, probably because General Shen didn't want to see people like my father anymore, and he was always involved in some inexplicable things, and he lost his life inexplicably......
"Anyway, I have been recuperating from my injuries in the past two days, and when I see the distant mountain guest the day after tomorrow, Bai Yi and I will discuss it seriously......" Bai Ling's voice lowered a little, she raised her sleeves and pressed her eyes, "It's all here, everything will be fine...... Alas. β
ββ¦β¦ Why sigh? β
Boling did not answer.
She frowned, pinched the bridge of her nose with her left hand, rubbed it gently, and looked at her right fingernail with some distraction.
After a long time, Bai Ling sighed again and said in a low voice, "...... Honestly, I don't want you to go. β
Wei Fourteen frowned, then smiled dumbly, he shook his head, "Bai Ling......"
"The friends I have really made here can be counted on one hand, and I can't bear it." Bai Ling's eyes lowered, "I hope Fourteen can go to Qiansang with us, and we can put the house together and be neighbors...... Without those troubles, where is it not a paradise. β
"As for why risk coming back...... Actually, there is no other reason," Bai Ling was a little helpless, she looked away a little choked, "In the end, it is because Bai Yi and I both feel that it is worth it for you." β
"I've heard people say, 'You should hold on to your star, even if it's a bad star,' and I know you've wanted to go to that snowy field for a long time, so whatever decision you want to make, I'm happy for you. Alas, it's not against the will, though I know it sounds contradictory......"
Bai Ling took a deep breath and regained his composure.
She looked at Fourteen again and laughed.
"But I still don't feel like life on the snowy fields is so beautiful...... Maybe you went to the camp of the Hestas, and after a while with them, you got tired of it?
"When that time comes, you can still come to Qiansang...... Maybe Bai Yi and I have already established ourselves in Qiansang by then, and we can welcome you at any time. β
