Chapter 108: Floating Life and Righteousness
Early the next morning, Bai Ling changed his clothes and followed Turtle Paw to a secluded place.
As soon as she entered, she saw a familiar screen in front of her eyesβthere were already people sitting behind it.
"It's so hard to see you now......" a familiar voice came from behind the screen.
Zeng Jiuyan's head immediately poked out from behind.
Bai Ling laughed, "What else do you want this screen to do, why don't you just withdraw it?" β
"Let's keep it," Zeng Jiuyan sat back again, "Remove this screen, I will pay a hundred taels more silver when I see you this time...... It's not like it used to be, and I have to save a little bit. β
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, "...... Do you have to count the money separately for this meeting? β
"Don't mention that." Zeng Jiuyan smiled, "I have something to say to you today, sit down." β
Bai Ling didn't sit down, but turned around and walked out, and after a while, several turtle paws entered the house again, and together they removed the screen in front of Zeng Jiuyan and replaced it with a low square table.
Bai Ling sat down opposite Zeng Jiuyan at this time.
Two new teas were held by the maid and placed gently in front of them.
"Huh?" Zeng Jiuyan looked at Bai Ling in front of him, "...... Are you going to invite me to tea? β
"yes." Bai Ling also smiled, "Thank you for your support last night." β
"Where do you need me to hold it," Zeng Jiuyan had a bright smile on his face, he was just about to say something, and suddenly felt that Bai Ling looked a little haggard, "What's wrong with you, you didn't sleep well last night?" β
"Yes," Bai Ling sighed, "Yesterday, after the end of the tooth walk, someone took us to the rest room of a nearby high-rise building to eat something...... It was almost dawn for us to leave the lounge and go back to the new house to rest. β
Zeng Jiuyan frowned slightly, "...... So do you now know who last night's buyer was? β
Bai Ling shook his head, "No, from yesterday to now, I haven't heard any news related to Yaxing. β
"That's weird," Zeng Jiuyan thought thoughtfully, "It is said that after last night, it should be the bustard mother who will take you to meet the new master's house." β
"It seems that they have something to discuss." Bai Ling smiled and said, "Let them fight, it's rare for me to have a few days of leisure." β
You can see it lightly,......" Zeng Jiuyan sighed with a smile, he paused, and the expression on his face became serious, "I'm here to say goodbye to you today, Bai Ling." β
Bai Ling looked at Zeng Jiuyan, his eyes showing a little reluctance, "When will you leave?" β
Zeng Jiuyan blinked, "...... Aren't you curious where I'm going? β
"Little Marquis is probably going north," Bai Ling tilted his head slightly, "yes?" β
Zeng Jiuyan smiled and nodded.
"Has it already been decided?" Bai Ling said in a low voice, "After all, the battlefield is no better than other placesβ"
"Floating life takes righteousness." Zeng Jiuyan's eyes burned and he said in a low voice.
Bai Ling looked at the young man in front of him and did not speak for a while.
"Why, isn't Bai Ling happy for me?" Zeng Jiuyan laughed softly, "It was obviously you who persuaded me to take a step forward before." β
"I know, I'm ...... Suddenly thought of Bai Yi. Bai Ling lowered his eyes, his eyes were a little nostalgic for the past, "He is a particularly anti-war person, if he is also here, he will probably try his best to stop you." β
Zeng Jiuyan laughed, "Then he has to stop it." β
Thinking of Bai Yi's almost three-legged cat's fist and foot kung fu, the two laughed at the same time.
"By the way, this time I will pass by Jiangzhou, I heard that Bai Yi and my uncle are there, I will look for it." Zeng Jiuyan asked, "If we meet, do you have anything you want me to bring to them?" β
Bai Ling didn't think much of it, "No. β
"No?" Zeng Jiuyan thought he had misheard, "Think again?" If Bai Yi and Uncle knew that you were still alive, I don't know how happy they would be! β
"They should already know," Bai Ling said in a low voice, "If we do meet, I only hope that the little marquis will not tell them everything he has seen here, just that I am really sinking into the lake." β
Zeng Jiuyan felt incomprehensible and frowned, "Why?" β
"I'll always go to them in the future." Bai Ling said softly, "They are living well in Jiangzhou now, it is the best." β
Zeng Jiuyan was really a little surprised.
It was the first time he had heard Bai Ling talk about her hopes for the futureβBai Ling was clearly convinced that she would be able to get away with it, although by now, Zeng Jiuyan had no idea what else she could do to make her free.
But since Bai Ling said so, then she ...... I guess I can do it.
Zeng Jiuyan's gaze became complicated.
"So when did you leave?" Bai Ling asked again.
"The day after tomorrow is set for the morning after tomorrow." Zeng Jiuyan replied, he was silent for a moment, "Let me ask you one last time, do you really need me to stay until the end of the month?" β
"No, you don't." Bai Ling said with a smile, "Although the little marquis is leaving, I don't have to worry here, I know it all in my heart." β
Zeng Jiuyan sighed lightly - he knew that this would be the answer.
He didn't ask anything else, and as usual, he laughed and chatted with Bai Ling.
They did not talk about the hardships of the past, nor the worries of the future, but just sat together and recalled the many happy things in the past four years.
Zeng Jiuyan took the initiative to reveal the plan of several of them to arrest Bai Ling and throw him in the lake, and Bai Ling also bluntly told Fourteen that he had already gained insight into their intentions, and Zeng Jiuyan was shocked - after many years, he realized that it was a game within a game that would be planned that day.
In the midst of the laughter, the incense used to tell the time quickly burned out of three, and people began to cough outside the window.
Both understood that the time had come to say goodbye.
"Since it is a parting," Bai Ling picked up a cup, "I will replace the wine with tea, and toast a cup of Jiuyan." β
Zeng Jiuyan lowered his eyes and picked up the teacup in front of him.
Bai Ling said again, "I wanted to tell you a long time ago, and it was really mine to make a friend like youβ"
"Don't talk about that." Zeng Jiuyan interrupted, "We don't need to say such polite words anymore. β
"...... Also. β
Zeng Jiuyan raised his glass and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.
Bai Ling also lowered his head to drink tea, and the tea was bitter.
After Zeng Jiuyan left, Bai Ling leaned on the railing and watched his figure disappear at the end of the streets and alleys of Baihuaya.
Until this moment, Bai Ling's heart suddenly gave birth to a lot of reluctance.
Pingjing City in the distance is still lively and prosperous, but these bustles and prosperity have always had nothing to do with her - she sent off Fourteen here, sent away her father and brother, and now she wants to say goodbye to her old friends.
Sure enough, life is a rare reunion, only parting.
Just as Bai Ling turned to leave, she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind her.
"Hey! Kashiwa girl! You're here! It's easy to find me! β
Bai Ling blinked quickly, then turned to lookβa middle-aged man he had seen in the tooth shop last night standing not far away.
ββ¦β¦ Boss Hu of the tooth shop. Bai Ling spoke with some uncertainty.
When the man heard this, he smiled, "Oh, in such a hurry, Miss Bai Ling wrote down who I am, it's really a promising future......"
"Before I go out today, I should have registered all the information about where I went and who I met, so it shouldn't be difficult to find, right?" Bai Ling asked, "You have something to do with me?" β
The man snorted casually and walked to Bai Ling's side in a few steps.
He looked at Bai Ling like he saw a walking cash cow.
"Of course there is something, and it's urgent, it's a big deal!" The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Lan Zhijun wants to see you now, girl, come with me." β
