Chapter 18 Distinguished Guests
Bai Shijun's hand stopped in mid-air, and for a moment he thought he had misheard.
"And you say you're not sick?" Bai Shijun looked at Bai Ling blankly, and only after a while did he speak suspiciously, "You also said before, what kind of obstacle is he......
"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded, "PTSD." ”
"That's—"
"To get him to be treated, he has to have someone he trusts present." Bai Ling looked at his father and smiled a little helplessly, "Dad, don't be annoyed with him for the time being, I'm really angry with this general's temper, you just think in your heart, 'This is part of his illness', just bear with it for the time being." ”
"People who trust ......"
Bai Shijun somewhat understood what Bai Ling meant, but he still didn't believe it.
Billing paused, then continued, "I think Daddy can take on this responsibility. The general seemed to be in his sanity, and perhaps he had his own reasons. ”
……
On this day, Bai Yi and Bai Shijun went out to the palace together - Bai Shijun was going to face the saint, and Bai Yi was going to the internal affairs office to find the master to learn how to deal with the sheep intestine materials.
Along the way, Bai Shijun looked a little uneasy, and when he approached the palace gate, he finally couldn't help but look at his son beside him.
"Who did you learn your sister's skills from, do you know?"
"Dad go and ask Bai Ling directly, don't ask me. If she's willing to talk more, she'll tell you. ”
"Okay," Bai Shijun sighed.
Bai Yi heard a little sadness in Bai Shijun's tone, and couldn't help but glance at his father, "...... Are you worried about Burling? ”
"It's useless to worry." Bai Shijun replied to himself, "I'm just scared now." ”
“…… What are you afraid of. ”
"I'm afraid of all kinds of things." Bai Shijun said frankly, "Sometimes I'm afraid that she won't have enough things to cope with the situation, and sometimes I'm afraid that she will have too many things, and finally she will be burned." Both of you survived by narrowly escaping death, and my father usually doesn't talk about this, but in the end, I still want to watch you grow up well, marry a wife and have children, and start a family in peace......"
Bai Yi was lightly touched by this sudden outpouring of true feelings, he was slightly moved, but he still smiled and turned his gaze away, choking, "I would have escaped death inexplicably, not because——"
"It was an accident, and I don't want to." Bai Shijun knew that Bai Yi was talking about the bereaved man who chased him from Qingyang four years ago, his eyes drooped, and he whispered with a little apology.
He sighed softly, and continued, "Actually, I'm not talking about this, it's something earlier, even earlier......
Bai Yi was stunned for a moment - he didn't have any memories before he traveled here. Did the father's words mean that he had put his young self and Bai Ling in danger earlier?
As soon as he wanted to ask, he saw that not far away, Qiu Shi was already standing in the uninhabited square.
When both sides saw each other's figures, they both accelerated their pace.
……
After Bai Yi and Bai Shijun left, Bai Ling cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks alone, and then left the house with the jewelry and money that were transported from the palace yesterday.
Before he got out of the alley, a few Jinyi guards held scabbards to block Bai Ling's way, "Where is Si Yao going?" ”
"Go to the ticket number." Bai Ling moved his burden slightly—the burden looked like it weighed thirty or forty pounds, pressing Bai Ling's shoulders high and low. As Bai Ling swayed, the gold and silver ingots and jewels in the baggage collided and made a crisp sound, and she said in a low voice, "Yesterday, the concubine settled last month's consultation fee for me, and the amount is relatively large, so I don't want to keep it at home all the time." ”
The brocade guards at the entrance of the alley looked at each other, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while.
Bai Ling raised his head and said, "If you don't know what to do, go and call your superiors, and I will tell them personally." ”
Not long after, under the escort of the four brocade guards, or rather under the watch, Bai Ling carried a heavy burden and walked in the direction of Chaotian Street.
Although she has been confined to her home during this time, in Emperor Jianxi's edicts and orders, the word "grounded" has indeed never appeared.
Because Bai Ling seemed to be able to speak from all sides, the little flag officer who was in charge of guarding this place today was not embarrassed for her, on the one hand, he sent someone to personally escort and watch him, and recorded Bai Ling's every move along the way, and on the other hand, he immediately sent the news into the palace and waited for the feedback from above.
The road from home to Chaotian Street is already familiar to Bai Ling.
It is the commercial center of the whole Pingjing, a real gold cave, close to the boundary of Chaotian Street, and the money house and gambling house are also staggered open.
She remembered that Yuzhang ticket numbers were in Pingjing's four semicolons, and two of them were near Chaotian Street.
Walking into Zilin Lane, this slender alley was full of shops, bustling with people coming and going, but two or three meters away from Bai Ling, it was always empty - people saw Jinyiwei following her from a distance, and they had long avoided hiding to the side.
Wherever she passed, the crowd seemed to have been cut open by sharp cuts, revealing an open, solid ground, and then quickly merged behind her.
Bai Ling suddenly felt that he was like Moses who had been separated from the sea, and he was very discharged.
She looked up at the signs on both sides of the street with her previous memories, and finally stopped in front of the shop that said "Heikyo Main Store" under the "Yuzhang ticket number".
A few guys in the ticket number found out early that there was a group of brocade guards in the alley, and everyone was guarding with fear, waiting for Bai Ling to stand still in front of their shop, everyone's hearts sank.
"Everyone who comes is a guest." The shopkeeper snorted lowly.
This deep voice woke up several young men in front of the shop, and they quickly bowed their heads, retracted their gaze, and concentrated on what they were doing.
The shopkeeper straightened out his shirt and stood up straight. Bai Ling also stepped straight into the threshold of the Yuzhang ticket number at this time—and the four brocade guards behind him followed.
The whole hall was dead silent, and even a few guests who had come to exchange the silver hurriedly packed up their things and ran out.
"Well, who's the shopkeeper here?" Bai Ling spoke tentatively.
"It's down." The middle-aged man behind the wooden cabinet opened his mouth with a serious face, "I wonder if the girl is here today......?" ”
"I'm here to save money, and by the way, I'll store some valuables." Bai Ling said softly, and she took out a famous note from her cuff - it was left by the businessman named Wang Yuzhang on the night of the Anhu Flower Viewing Party.
The shopkeeper took the name card with both hands, and with a single glance, he showed a look of surprise.
He accepted the name post, walked out quickly from behind the wooden cabinet, and said to Bai Ling respectfully, "It turned out to be a distinguished guest, please come in!" ”
