Chapter 107: Explanation
Bai Ling's expression was slightly disturbed - she had already spied the truth about Hui Shi's death from Heng Yuanjun a few years ago, but ...... Does Shin Jichuan know?
Shen Jichuan on the bed coughed a few times.
"I ...... too It shouldn't have died here. He whispered, "I should die on horseback......
Bai Ling's eyes were lowered, and he couldn't bear it for a while.
"One more day of the general's life is a deterrent." She said softly, "It's like when you came back from Pingjing seven years ago and suddenly killed a gold thief by surprise...... They are afraid of such schemes. β
Shen Jichuan smiled, coughed, and said in a low voice, "...... It's time for a substitution. β
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and the old servant entered the house again, but this time he did not walk towards Shen Jichuan, but stopped beside Bai Ling, he bowed down and whispered, bringing the news that Wei Shishi and Bai Shijun had just arrived in the outhouse.
"Let's go." Shen Jichuan closed his eyes and said, "Don't let them wait for a long time......
Bai Ling sighed, but didn't get up.
"I came in a hurry, and I didn't have any gifts...... But the general said that he wanted to get a good night's sleep, and maybe I could really help. β
Shen Jichuan laughed, his voice getting softer and softer, "I don't have the strength to talk to you about those who don't have ......."
"You don't need the general to say anything, just listen to me." β
ββ¦β¦ What are you doing? β
"Wasn't the general curious just now, how did I make those Zhou people dream of homesick birds one after another?" Bai Ling said softly, "I have used this method in the palace before, I don't know if it will work for the general now, but we can try it." β
β¦β¦
That night, when Bai Ling left Shen Jichuan's house, it was already late at night.
Shen Jichuan fell asleep, and Bai Ling sat beside him and accompanied him for a long time.
When the curtain was lifted, Bai Ling was carried out of the door of the back room while sitting on a wicker chair, and Bai Yi and Bai Shijun stood up almost at the same time.
Bai Shijun opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't say a word, he waited outside for more than half an hour, and his mood slowly cooled from the excitement at the beginning, but when Bai Ling, who hadn't seen him for four years, appeared from behind the curtain again, he couldn't help sobbing again.
The candle flame in the outhouse reflected Bai Ling's eyes, and as soon as she saw herself, she laughed and called out Daddy.
Bai Ling's eyes were red too, and her gaze looked a little sleepy.
The dim lights reminded Bai Shijun of many nights in the past, about the same as now, when he was doing his own thing in the outhouse, and Bai Ling was asleep in the inner room.
Occasionally, when she got up at night, she would open the curtain and come out, and when she saw herself reading and writing in the living room, she would ask him why he hadn't slept yet.
Bai Shijun was a little stunned for a while, until Bai Ling shouted again.
Bai Yi had already told her before that Bai Ling was injured, don't go up and hug her if she is excited, let her lie down and don't move. So Bai Shijun stood in place until Bai Ling stretched out his hand to him, and he stumbled a little over to his daughter and squatted down.
Bai Ling was extremely tired, she sat there without saying a word, but she still grabbed Bai Shijun's hand and didn't let go for a moment.
On the way to the pavilion, Bai Ling fell asleep.
The brocade guards took a light and soft goose down quilt and covered Bai Ling's body, and walked back directly with the rattan chair.
"Uncle Bai was here just now, I didn't ask ......" Wei Shishi followed behind Bai Yi, his face was a little gloomy, "Why did you come here, didn't Uncle Bai send back the letter that said that he would wait for me to go back?" β
"It was Bai Ling's idea." On the night road, Bai Yi's pace slowed down a little, as if he had something to say, he thought for a long time, and said in a low voice, "When Bai Ling wakes up tomorrow morning, let her tell you in person." β
"Tell me now."
Wei Shixi's voice carried a slightly suppressed anger - Bai Yi had never seen Shixi's anger before, and he couldn't help but be stunned by this low angry voice.
He stopped and looked at Fourteen earnestly.
Fourteen's eyes were bloodshot, and everyone was equally tired after such a difficult night.
In the interval of their silence, Bai Shijun and Bai Ling on the rattan chair gradually moved away, and some Jinyi guards had already noticed Wei Shixi and Bai Yi's loneliness, but they didn't care.
What these two people want to do is not originally in the tasks of these Jinyi Guards-in fact, as long as Bai Ling and Bai Shijun are still here, Bai Yi and Wei Shixi will not be able to go far, they will come back-the current Bai Ling can't stand the toss at all.
When there were no other idlers waiting around, Wei Shiyi grabbed Bai Yi's collar, his originally pale face was flushed with blood, and he smashed Bai Yi on the low wall nearby.
Wei Shishi gritted his teeth, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he couldn't wait to beat Bai Yi in front of him.
He tried his best to keep his voice down, "You two brothers and sisters, what the hell are you thinking!" β
Bai Yi raised his hands as if surrendering, "Fourteen, you calm down first and listen to me-"
"How do you want me to calm down, all my efforts, all - all my efforts, now all in vain!" Wei Shixi's voice was almost low, "Don't say that this is Bai Ling's idea, she can't even get to the ground, she can walk here alone without your cooperation!?" β
"Fourteenβ"
"Don't you know what this place is!? The emperor will come to Yanzhou in a few days under the pretext of visiting General Shen - Bai Ling is sick and his mind is not clear, and he is messing around there, don't you have a clear mind!? What are you going to do now? Heh - everything is settled, and in the end you two will be caught in the net...... What the hell do you think! Dry! Miscellaneous! Whatever! β
Bai Yi sighed again, he thought about it, tightened his brows, and finally punched him hard in the face.
The punch was so heavy that he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Don't come with me! It didn't work! Wei Shixi grabbed Bai Yi's shirt and dragged him up from the ground, "Do you think I won't beat you?" β
"Maybe I'm doing something wrong." Bai Yi said in a low voice, "I really should fight, but can you ...... Listen to me explain things clearly? β
Wei Shitie let go of Bai Yi's clothes with a blushing face, "You'd better be able to." β
"It's all my fault that I shouldn't have mentioned to Bai Ling about the deer hunter's invitation to you to go north," Bai Yi said as he felt a little salty and sweet in his mouth, and he reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, "After listening to Bai Ling, he decided to come." β
"The snowfields beyond the northern border are no better than any capital city in the Great Zhou. It is impossible for a person to live alone for a long time in such a snowy field. Bai Ling had walked that way, so she understood.
"But on that grassland, there are either Jin people or Jin people's slaves, fourteen you...... I wouldn't want to live with them.
"Now is the chance, the deer hunter has just broken with Chang Sheng, but the two sides are not at the point of saber rattling. They are friendly to the Zhou people, and the invitation they send to you this time is almost unconditional...... If such an opportunity is missed, there may never be a next one.
"Whether you want to go or don't want to go in the end, we can't delay you." Bai Yi said in a low voice, "Whose father is looking for trouble, then whoever is in charge, this is how it should be." β
Bai Yi looked at Fourteen with some difficulty, "...... In this way, it should be explained clearly, right? β
