There's No Reason to Let Others Laugh at Our Family!
Seeing how enthusiastic his future father-in-law was, Wang was at a loss.
This white butcher seemed to be different from what he had imagined!
He had thought that Bai Zai Tu was a vicious person, but he did not expect him to be such a plain-looking old man who even had a limp!
"To be able to give birth to a son like Bai Xiaonian, how amazing must Bai Xiaonian's mother be?”King could not help but mutter in his heart. He only smiled slightly and did not show much enthusiasm.
If he could enter the Bai Residence and become the son-in-law of the Bai Residence, he would definitely have to give Bai Qi a big bow. After all, this person was one of the most powerful figures in the Great Qin Country, and he had 300,000 soldiers in his hands. When he met an old father-in-law like Baiqi, a casual sentence from him could cause the Great Qin Dynasty to tremble three times!
However, Wang Ye had a tranquil personality and did not ask for anything, so he naturally looked as calm as water.
Baiqi was not annoyed by this. He did not like people who fawned over him, and he admired Wang Ye's personality.
Only someone with such a personality was worthy of being the son-in-law of the Bai family!
"You're an elder, so naturally, everything will be up to you.”The king also said that it was better to leave such a troublesome matter like marriage to the Bai residence.
"Good, good, good! Since that's the case, I'll order the manor to pick an auspicious day for you to get married!”Bai Qi felt relieved and pulled Qing Yi and Wang Ye into the Bai Residence, leaving Bai Xiaonian alone in the wind…
"Damn cripple, you have someone backing you up, right? Sooner or later, this prince will settle the score with you!"
...
The three of them were exhausted from the journey. After resting for two days in the Bai Residence, Bai Xiaonian carried a jar of old wine and found Wang Ye, who was meditating on the mountain.
Wang Ye had been in the Bai Residence for two days and was not used to it. The Bai Residence was a different world with mountains and rivers. Wang Ye had been resting on the mountain for the past two days. Everyone in the residence knew that he was the future son-in-law of the Bai Family, so no one stopped him.
Bai Xiaonian walked up the mountain and saw Wang Ye's donkey grazing on the grass. Wang Ye was sitting cross-legged on a green rock. In the bamboo forest not far away, there was a graceful figure dancing with a spear. It was naturally a green robe.
Bai Xiaonian couldn't help but feel a little jealous when he saw the two of them living like an immortal couple.
The little handmaiden that he cared about the most in his courtyard had always been bitter and hateful towards him. How envious was the way King Ye interacted with his sister?
Bai Xiaonian walked to Wang Ye's side. Seeing that Wang Ye had yet to open his eyes, Bai Xiaonian deliberately threw the wine jar at Wang Ye. As expected, Wang Ye caught the wine jar and opened his eyes.
"I've investigated it clearly. The one who attacked us at the Song-Jin border that day was the cavalry under Wanyan Zonghan of the Jin Kingdom.”Bai Xiaonian's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said coldly.
"Wanyan Zonghan?"
Wang was also moved. When his fourth brother, Zhang Songxi, and sixth brother, Yin Liting, returned from the border, they had mentioned this name many times.
Wanyan Zonghan was a general of the Jin Kingdom. He was ambitious and had just been transferred to the Song-Jin border.
The king could guess Wanyan Zonghan's goal. He wanted to pretend to be the Song army and kill them in the Great Song. Then, he would start a war between the Great Song and the Great Qin, and the Jin Kingdom would benefit from it.
However, what Wang couldn't figure out was how Wanyan Zonghan knew about their itinerary.
"You should have noticed something suspicious, right?”Bai Xiaonian's expression was grave." Ten thousand cavalry. Just the daily expenses of rations alone are not small. It's impossible for them to specially arrange a cavalry to wait at the Song-Jin border. They must have received specific information about us long ago!”
When the three of them reached the Gobi Desert, because it was the border of Song and Jin, it was impossible for the martial artists to chase them here to kill them.
No one should know their whereabouts by now.
However, these tens of thousands of cavalry had accurately found their location. It would be strange if there was nothing fishy going on.
"Hurry up and say it. I know you won't come looking for me until you find out.”Wang also took a sip of wine and said calmly to Bai Xiaonian.
"There's no need to investigate this matter. It's naturally the Wind Cloud Empire's doing.”A hint of hatred flashed across Bai Xiaonian's eyes. At this moment, he thought of the old butler who had accompanied him since he was young but had died tragically in the Wind-Cloud Empire!
"Wind Cloud Empire again?" King also raised his eyebrows. He remembered that the reason Bai Xiaonian wanted to invite him out of seclusion was to ask King to accompany him to the Windcloud Empire!
The Wind Cloud Empire was an extremely special existence among the myriad countries. Although the country was small, it was a country made up entirely of martial artists.
At this moment, Bai Xiaonian's gaze was a little distant. As if he was reminiscing, he said,"The Wind Cloud Empire is able to settle down in this world of great strife because they rely on gathering and selling intelligence. Wu Wudi had nurtured countless martial artists, and his minions were spread all over the world, weaving a huge intelligence network.
However, the Wind-Cloud Empire had no bottom line when it came to selling information. As long as they offered enough benefits, they would sell any information they wanted. They were even willing to do business with the barbarians in the north!”
Bai Xiaonian took a deep breath, unwilling to face the pain in his heart. After hesitating for a long time, he continued,
"Three years ago, the First Emperor ordered Uncle Meng to go north to the Xiongnu. Who knew that the Xiongnu people would buy the route of the Great Qin Empire from the Wind and Cloud Empire and set up an ambush along the way, resulting in the slaughter of 100,000 Great Qin Cavalry. Uncle Meng was also heavily injured.
The army route map is a secret of Great Qin, and it concerns the lives of 100,000 soldiers. However, the Wind Cloud Empire has obtained it.”
"Ever since the First Emperor ascended the throne, he has never experienced such a crushing defeat. In his rage, he ordered the Black Ice Platform to start a huge purge in the Qin country. At the same time, he wanted to destroy the Wind Cloud Empire!
" My Bai family and the Meng family are old friends. When Cripple Bai learned that Uncle Meng was heavily injured, he was also furious. He immediately sent his subordinates to the Wind-Cloud Empire to take revenge and collect information about the Wind-Cloud Empire to prepare for the subsequent army conquest.”
"That old butler of mine went to the Wind Cloud Empire at that time. I never expected that such a shrewd and cunning old man would actually…"
Bai Xiaonian's expression darkened. He couldn't bear to continue speaking.
He had a deep relationship with the old butler. When he was young, Baiqi was often in the army and would always entrust him to the old butler. In Bai Xiaonian's eyes, the old butler was no different from family.
However, it was also at that time that Bai Xiaonian found out that the old butler who was always smiling every day was actually one of the top experts in the residence. He was also once a personal guard under Cripple Bai's command!
The old butler had entered the Wind Cloud Empire alone under Baiqi's orders, but he had not expected to be plotted against by Wu Wudi, who had personally killed him.
Then, he beheaded him and threw his body into the wilderness.
Even his head was still hanging on the city wall, and the old butler's sword was stuck on the city wall as a trophy to show off!
Bai Xiaonian took a big gulp of wine and put away his usual cheeky smile. He cupped his fists at Wang Ye with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice,
"Daoist Priest Wang Ye, I know that if I go to the Wind-Cloud Empire, it will be extremely dangerous, but Bai Xiaonian still wants you to come with me!
I, Bai Xiaonian, have no reason to let others laugh at my own family!”
When the King heard this, he smiled faintly. He clinked the wine jar in his hand with Bai Xiaonian's and said,""Since the prince is begging, how can I not go with the prince?”
