Chapter 563: Co-optation
Beili thank you again, it can be regarded as a courtesy.
But after thanking him, Bei Li Meiyu was a little more worried: "Master Bai, who are you?" ”
This question seems simple, but Bai Song is difficult to answer.
Bai Song didn't know if he was a member of the imperial court, and he didn't know what Beili's attitude was.
He didn't have much friendship with Beili, and Bai Song didn't want to confess.
But if you deliberately deceive, you think that you are not a sneaky person, and there is nothing that cannot be seen.
Bai Song was thinking about how to answer, but Beili sighed: "Hey, it's inconvenient for Master Bai to say it, so don't say it." However, Lingxiu Palace must leave immediately after detoxification, hoping that it will not be hindered by any time. ”
Bai Song suddenly realized that Beili came to him to worry about this.
But Bai Song hadn't learned the exact situation from Li Miao's mouth, and he couldn't guarantee Beili.
Bai Song replied: "Give Miss Beili an answer tomorrow." ”
"Tomorrow?" Beili's brows furrowed even tighter, and his tone became serious, "Tomorrow will be tomorrow, if there is anything in the imperial court to break its promise, don't blame Beili for turning his face and being ruthless." ”
After speaking, Beili arched his hand towards Bai Songyi: "Bai Gongzi promises, I will leave." ”
When the north left the door, he bumped into Li Miao, who was walking towards Bai Song, and the two looked at each other for a moment, and then passed by.
Li Miao went directly into the house, looked at the woman who left, and sighed: "This woman is so murderous, how many people have I killed on the battlefield?" It's not as murderous as her, don't provoke this kind of woman. ”
"She is the head of Lingxiu Palace, and I just saved a few of their disciples."
Li Miao looked at Bai Song and smiled, looked at Xiao Wu on the side, and then at Xu Ruan'er on the side, sat down and drank a sip of water.
"What's the situation?"
Bai Song pointed at Xiao Wu: "My sister I recognize." ”
"Hello brother, my name is Wu Xiaowu."
"This girl, brittle!" Li Miao smiled and pointed to the other side, "What about this?" ”
"Xu Zhen's daughter."
"What?!" Li Miao stood up in shock, "This can't be done, we have to be taken into custody." ”
"Don't, don't, don't ......," Bai Song shook his head again and again, "I'll look at it myself." ”
"Huh?" Li Miao stared at Bai Song suspiciously.
"Don't think about it, this girl is not very wrong, it is all her father's fault, stay as a hostage. But he will not treat others like a prisoner. ”
Li Miao looked at the woman twice more and nodded thoughtfully.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
"Yes, yes, the business is why did you come to Jingzhou?"
Bai Song sat down and took a sip of water, lowered his voice, and told his eldest brother everything he had encountered.
Li Miao's eyes widened when she heard the bizarre things that Bai Song encountered in the capital, and after listening to it, she couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that your encounter in the capital was even more thrilling than my battlefield?!" ”
Bai Song shook his head: "That's fine, at least there is a clear way to solve the problem." There is no need to look ahead and backwards, all I am thinking about now is how to destroy the Holy Lotus Sect. ”
"Just in time!" Li Miao said, "With my brother-in-law, maybe I can break the deadlock on the frontline battlefield!" ”
"You've lifted me up."
"Although we haven't seen each other much, I admire my brother-in-law's methods, even if he rescued me from the ghost gate last time, the dead can be saved, what else can't be done? Don't go anywhere this time, go directly to Yizhou with me, I will guarantee that you will be a military advisor to your grandfather, as long as you break the defense line of the Holy Lotus Sect, the matter in the capital will be solved, what do you want? ”
"I thought, but how can it be so easy? Not only did I not know what was going on at the front, but your grandfather didn't like me very much. ”
"......" Li Miao made a deep groan, thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter if grandpa is there, even if grandpa doesn't like you, but the matter is very important, as long as you can really help the battle situation, grandpa will definitely not interfere in any way." ”
"What is the situation at the front?" Bai Song asked, which was also his biggest concern.
Speaking of the situation on the front line, Li Miao's expression became serious, and he took out the crossbow from behind him.
"Brother-in-law, do you recognize this thing?"
"......" Bai Song is speechless, I don't know if I should admit it?
But Li Miao acquiesced that Bai Song didn't understand the power of this thing, and sighed: "Hey, don't look at this thing as ordinary, but this thing has made our army suffer a big loss on the front line." This thing is called a crossbow, and it is completely different from the bows and arrows of the past, with great power, simple aiming, and amazing range. Because we did not understand the methods of the Holy Lotus Sect, our army suffered heavy losses in the first charge at Yizhou, losing 2,000 men and horses.
Because of this thing, the battle has come to a stalemate. You might be wondering why I'm here, right? ”
Bai Song nodded.
"There are more than 300 people in the Holy Lotus Sect, starting from Yizhou and making a detour into Jingzhou. They thought they were elusive, but in fact they had already been discovered by our scouts. I was ordered to lead my troops to follow, hoping to eat this group of people to snatch some crossbows and go back to study. But later I found out that there were a few martial arts masters in this group of people, which was very difficult, and I only brought 1,500 people, if they met in the mountains, they would definitely not be opponents.
So I followed all the way to Jingzhou. Later, I learned that this group of people wanted to use the martial arts conference of Hero Village to set up a bureau and wanted to forcibly admit people from the rivers and lakes. Naturally, the old brother will plan and wait in the back. The masters of the martial arts helped the elder brother drag those elites, and some of the little minions in the back were not opponents of our army at all. Well, now that I have taken down a batch of samples of crossbows, I can be considered to have completed the task. I just didn't expect to meet my brother-in-law here. ”
Bai Song nodded, understanding the whole thing.
"In that case, when are you going to return?"
"Now I have something else to think about. Although these people in the rivers and lakes can't go to the battlefield, they are a great restraining force for other masters in the Holy Lotus Sect. Since the Holy Lotus Sect wants to co-opt them, can we also co-opt them? I was just about to tell my younger siblings that I heard that you have some prestige among them, and if your brother-in-law can help, it will definitely be a great credit. ”
Bai Song frowned, Li Miao really had plans to co-opt the people in the rivers and lakes.
It's just that the people in the rivers and lakes are not easy to control, and they all said before that they can leave freely, but now they are against the water, but I am afraid that it will cause some waves again.
Bai Song seemed a little hesitant: "I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle?" ’
"Why?"
"The people in the rivers and lakes are difficult to control, and if they are forced to be in a hurry, these forces will be difficult to control. Besides, now they are all still poisoned, and when their poison is resolved, no one will be able to end up in conflict. ”
"In that case, then don't give them an antidote."
