Chapter 106 Master! Was my kneeling proper?
Chapter 106 Master! Was my kneeling proper?
Thanks to Lu Jian, Zhou Tianli finally managed to get her plea to Wang Qingyan.
She thought that even if Wang Qingyan was willing to help her, it would take a lot of trouble, or even humiliate her, but she didn't expect that he would just ask her for a small favor.
"Just lead Seventeen to the outskirts of the capital?"
"Yes"
Although she didn't quite understand, Zhou Tianli didn't ask any further questions.
He stood up and bowed, thus concluding the meeting.
Later—
"Yun Su"
"What's the master's order?"
"Go to Xizhou immediately and give this to Baili Jiangluo. Also, ask him a question for me."
......
Xizhou is located in the south, and it is rainy all year round, with few sunny days in winter.
Today was a rare sunny day, and after lunch, Baili Jiangluo sunbathed in the courtyard.
Under the warm sunlight, his withered and shrunken legs felt much more comfortable.
Slowly, he closed his eyes and began to recall those glorious days.
Suddenly, the servant who was taking care of him came quickly from outside the courtyard. "Master, the Wang family from the capital has sent people."
"The Wang family? Wang Qingyan?!"
"Yes"
Baili Jiangluo stood up abruptly!
He immediately lost his balance and fell back into the chair, only to be caught by the servant. "Master!"
Feeling humiliated after a lifetime of ups and downs, he flew into a rage and shoved the servant to the ground, yelling, "Get out of here! What kind of lowly thing dares to come and laugh at this old man!"
The servant knelt upright in fear and trepidation, crying out, "Master, I didn't! I just..."
"Get out! Tell the Wang family members to get out too!"
"You killed my own brother and still dare to implicate me!"
"Do they really think the Wang family is the best in the world?!"
"But..." For the reward of five hundred taels, the servant gritted his teeth and went all out!
"Master, the messenger also brought a message from Wang Qingyan."
"You bastard! Didn't you hear me tell you to get off here?!"
Baili Jiangluo's eyes widened in anger, and he grabbed a nearby cup, ready to smash it...
Seeing that he didn't smash it, the servant quickly lowered his head and asked, "Don't you want to take control of the Baili family again?"
"......" How could I not want to?
He was so desperate he almost died.
Baili Ming and Baili Ce are both more disobedient than the other.
Baili Sanniang is even more selfish and only cares about herself, completely disregarding her elder brother!
He had originally hoped that Baili Changshan could lend him a hand, but he never expected that the good-for-nothing would even lose his life savings.
It's ruined him now...
Slowly setting down his teacup, Baili Jiangluo calmly exhaled, "Bring the person in."
......
"Hey, you're leaving already?" Inside the training ground, his friend greeted Seventeen while wiping his sweat.
Seventeen nodded absentmindedly, "Yeah, I have something to take care of."
After leaving the martial arts arena, Seventeen stood on the street for a long time, feeling depressed, before finally going to his usual restaurant.
He ordered something casually and sat there until the owner closed, still unable to figure out why Zhou Tianli had approached him.
He clearly agreed he would only do it once, so why did he...?
Well, given the state of the Zhou family now, they probably can't even afford to employ servants anymore, so what can they do to him?
It's probably a case of desperation leading to desperation, so going to see a doctor won't hurt.
If what she said is true, and there is news of the young lady, then perhaps he will be able to meet her sooner.
So, Seventeen paid the money and headed to the nunnery on the outskirts of Beijing. On the way, he was almost discovered by the night patrol officers.
When they arrived at their destination, Zhou Tianli was even later than him.
"Although the night is cold and windy, since Patriarch Zhou has a favor to ask..."
"You've got it wrong," Zhou Tianli interrupted the boy's daydream, pushing open the door of the nunnery with displeasure.
Seventeen frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"
"You'll know in a minute."
“…”
After a moment's thought, Seventeen went inside anyway.
But being young and impatient, he asked again after a short while, "Didn't you say you had news about my young lady?"
"You..." Zhou Tianli, already annoyed enough, was about to retort.
A gust of wind blew the door open, "Bang!"
Wang Qingyan!
Seventeen was so startled that he immediately stood up!
“Zheng…”
He drew his sword and choked her.
Wang Qingyan asked him with a smile, "Tell me, who belongs to your family?"
......
The road to the Xianbei was not easy, and as the weather grew colder, more and more wild animals attacked people on the grasslands due to food shortages.
Even though business travelers usually travel in groups, mostly young and middle-aged people, they still need to take turns guarding them day and night and be careful in everything they do.
Most importantly, every time it's her turn to sleep, she always dreams of Wang Qingyan!
After a few days, I was completely out of it!
The key dream is filled with haunted elements such as graveyards, barren mountains, narrow spaces where you can't see your hand in front of your face, stinking dungeons full of blood and bones, and man-eating black forests.
He stood in some unexpected corner, staring at her without saying a word.
The eeriness and oppression gave her the creeps.
Based on the principle that she could still be bullied by Wang Qingyan in her dreams, she cursed, hit, and even slept with a knife.
But not only did it have no effect, it also terrified the people around it, making them tremble and cry out for their parents.
As a result, not only has her popularity plummeted in the past two days, but she has also attracted the attention of the wizards in the group.
To avoid being arrested and burned alive by the shaman before even reaching the Xianbei, she took the initiative to find the shaman and "confess" one afternoon after lunch.
After listening, the wizard first took out a prayer wheel, chanting something incoherently while rolling his eyes at the same time—a typical charlatan move...
Halfway through the page, he said, "Don't laugh, be serious."
ahem...
With a serious face, he said, "Okay, okay..."
Silently start reading from the beginning...
Her head started to ache from chanting. "Master! I'm feeling it!"
The wizard ignored her.
"Master! It hurts!"
"Grandmaster!"
"Stop reading, Master!"
"Don't go over there!" Duan Chi quickly pulled back the two elderly people who were heartbroken. "The Chimen Wizard is exorcising Nana. She'll be fine in a moment."
"..." Bai Li Ce, with tears welling up in her eyes from the pain, indicated that she was not feeling well.
After a very long time (actually only ten breaths), the wizard who "blew up the door" finally stopped.
"It's finally over," Baili Ce said, getting up and brushing the grass clippings off his knees.
He gave the charlatan a cold look, “…”
Hmph! I don't even want to say thank you!
As soon as he lifted his foot, he pulled out a drum that looked really impressive.
Kneeling at the speed of light!
He bowed deeply!
"Master, spare me!"
"..." But when the drum sounded, it didn't hurt at all.
"Bombing the door" glanced at her, then continued rolling his eyes and banging the drum with a smug look on his face.
"..."
No, so you can actually stop rolling your eyes and then continue?
Then why did you do that just now... Good grief! She'll remember this grudge!
"Ahem..." Chimen coughed lightly.
Bai Li Ce quickly bowed down!
"Master, please speak!"
"Put your hands up."
Huh? This...
Seeing that the patterns on the drumhead seemed to be moving, Baili hesitated... but he figured he might as well try anything!
I gritted my teeth and put it on!
I felt nothing at all.
“That’s it”
After saying that, Chimen ignored Baili Ce's disgusted expression, packed his things, and went to sleep next to him.
After all, they don't have to be on duty day or night, and they can sleep whenever they want.
Bai Li Ce was very angry, but she dared not do anything.
Shamans held a very high status among the Xianbei people, and even bandits and robbers on the grasslands had to treat them with respect.
But if you ask her—
Charlatan!
Absolutely a charlatan!
call out--
Time flies, and the next day has arrived.
"Master! The water for washing your face is ready!"
"Master! The meal is ready! Please eat first!"
"Master! Please tell my fortune! When will I become the richest man in the world and be granted a fiefdom?"
"Master! Master! This river is too deep, let me carry you across..."
"What? Master, you're telling me to get lost? Fine!"
He turned back halfway through the roll and said, "Master! Please call me again if you need anything!"
