Sure enough, as soon as he pushed the door, Bai Ling heard the sound of a chair dragging inside—and Ai Songqing walked out

"Where have you been all day?" Ai Songqing's face was full of worry, "Didn't you say that you were going to meet with the little marquis in the morning, why did you go all day?" ”

"I did go to see the little marquis in the morning, but then I met someone else."

"How's the talk with the little marquis?" Ai Songqing hurriedly asked.

"That's it...... That's good. Bai Ling replied.

She smelled the aroma of food in the room, and after walking a few steps inside, she saw the dishes and rice on the table as they were—seeing that Bai Ling had never returned, Ai Songqing was really not in the mood to move the chopsticks.

"Good?" Ai Songqing was a little puzzled, her eyes sank slightly, and the worry in her eyes was even worse, "I heard a message today, Bai Ling. ”

"Hmm."

"They don't plan to send you to learn piano and dance, and by the end of the month, they'll be ......" Ai Songqing didn't know how to continue, these words made her feel unspeakable, and after a moment of silence, she looked at Bai Ling, "Do you know the news?" ”

"Got it." Bai Ling nodded, "Today, the boss of the Lan brand told me personally. ”

"Lan Zhijun?" Ai Songqing was stunned for a moment, "Is it Lan Zhijun?" ”

"Well, Songqing knows that too."

"I also heard people outside talk about it today, saying that Lan Zhijun had a hard time going to the Golden Pavilion today, and the entire Lan brand was boiling......" Ai Songqing said softly, she looked at Bai Ling, "It turns out that you already know ......"

"Yes," Bai Ling replied softly, "he told me the last time I saw Zeng Jiuyan. ”

"Do you have a solution today?" Ai Songqing clenched Bai Ling's hand, "When you take the stage at the end of the month, will the little marquis make a bid to lower you?" ”

“…… He, no. ”

"Can't the little marquis afford that price?"

"It's not about money...... Bai Ling said thoughtfully, "Even if he barely paid to keep me on the first night, after that, he won't let the little marquis move his entire family into the Lan brand." ”

Ai Songqing's eyes were anxious, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Bai Ling scratched his head, "...... It's still more than half a month, what's the hurry. ”

"Why aren't you in a hurry?" Ai Songqing looked at Bai Ling's unfamiliar appearance, and his heart became more and more anxious, "They have already set a master for me to learn the piano today, and I should be safe for the next year and a half...... Luckily, I asked why I didn't bring you with me, and they told me about your appearance at the end of the month, otherwise I wouldn't know about it until now......"

Ai Songqing's eyebrows tightened, "I know that Bai Ling has always had an idea in his heart, but there is no need to go elsewhere here, and he has not taken a good step...... You'll fall into the abyss. ”

Bai Ling smiled and sighed, of course she couldn't tell Wei Ying's existence - but with such a treacherous master by her side, Bai Ling really didn't have too much fear of the so-called appearance. Even if the worst happens, she's not completely out of the box.

"I understand, I understand." Bai Ling patted Ai Songqing on the shoulder, "I also need a little time to figure it out, but I said don't worry, eat and eat." ”

The two sat down at the table, Ai Songqing was still a little depressed, "How can this be?" Today is really good news......"

Bai Ling glanced at her, "What else is there to hear?" ”

"I also listened to their apprentice in Lefang today," Ai Songqing lowered his voice, "At the beginning of last month, didn't the emperor tour the north, but somehow, when he was still a hundred miles away from Jiangzhou City, he met bandits. ”

The chopsticks in Bai Ling's hand didn't stop, "How fierce are they?" ”

"There are people in the music shop who escaped from the hands of those bandits, these bandits call themselves the Qingpao Army, who occupied the mountains as kings during the famine a few years ago, and often went to the nearby villages to sweep and do all kinds of evil, and even ...... Cannibalism. ”

Bai Ling's breath froze.

has been staying in Heijing, and she really rarely feels like she's fighting outside.

There is no instant messaging, no pictures, no wailing...... The people of the royal city had only heard of the smoke of the beacon fire in the far north from the mouths of the refugees who had migrated south.

"The Qingpao Army called both women and children two-legged sheep, saying that it was because the meat quality was better than that of men, comparable to mutton. They said that the stockade of the Qingpao army had a mortar as big as a house and a pillar as thick," Ai Songqing gestured, "and when they killed people, they threw the corpses in them and mashed them to make minced meat—"

Bai Ling swallowed the soup in his mouth with difficulty.

Ai Songqing looked at the green vegetable meatball soup on the table, suddenly frowned, and felt nauseous.

"The Emperor's team met the Green Robe Army, and then what?" Bai Ling continued with the previous question, and turned the topic back to the circle.

"I don't know yet," Ai Songqing shook his head and said, "They also heard from the guests, at that time, there was a merchant who was captured by a team of the Qingpao Army, but when he turned back, he happened to meet Wang Shi, and he barely managed to save his life......

"Isn't that good news?" Bai Ling said with a smile.

"But they said that when they left, the emperor personally led the troops to the lair of the Qingpao Army." Ai Songqing lowered his voice, "If you say yes, you only brought less than five hundred people, and it was a hard battle." ”

"That's also crushing."

"Crushing?" Ai Songqing suspected that he had misheard, "But that's the old nest of the Green Robe Army, and it's a few thousand people—"

"Has Songqing ever seen a firebolt or a cannon?"

Ai Songqing was stunned for a moment, "...... I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it. ”

"Don't worry, if what those guests said is true—they did meet the emperor and the emperor brought his own soldiers to suppress the bandits, then it won't be a few days before the good news will reach the capital." Bai Ling said firmly, "I'll pack a ticket with you." ”

“…… Is Bai Ling so sure? ”

"yes." Bai Ling said softly, "Now even the soldiers in the north don't use the firearms at their disposal, let alone those mountain bandits who occupy the mountains as kings. This is the way of fighting in two eras, with big swords and long spears...... How could it have been done with gunpowder. ”

Ai Songqing listened suspiciously.

"Wait." Bai Ling laughed.

……

In fact, the good news spread even faster than Burling had imagined.

On the second day and night, the city gate was open until midnight, Zhang Shouzhong personally led the troops to guard the north gate, he looked far away from the city tower, and there was both expectation and anxiety in his eyes.

It has been reported that the team escorting the leaders of the young bandits will be delivered tonight, and at that time, these thugs who slaughtered their compatriots will be handed over to the Great Zhou Criminal Department for personal trial and conviction.

When he was about to arrive, the dust of the horse team finally rose in the distance, and after a while, dozens of prisoner cars with Jiangzhou Mansion printed on them faintly appeared at the end of the road.

At the front of the procession, the young liberation officer rode his horse and whipped his whip, and galloped towards the royal city.
