Chapter 364 Let’s Go and Save People

The next day, based on the address of Qiu Niang's father, Minister Lu's residence provided by Yuan Mo, Nangong Min personally led people to raid their house.

At first, Qiu Niang's parents cried and screamed that they were wronged.

After the house was searched, it was found that there were several granaries in Lu Shangshu's mansion that could hold 10,000 dan of grain.

They followed the clues and raided his villa and private shops, finding dozens of granaries, each of which was fully stocked with gold, silver, jewelry, jade, agate and other valuables.

Now, Minister Lu had nothing to say.

Since a large amount of property came from unknown sources, Bai Li immediately sentenced his entire family to be confiscated and exiled to Qianxi in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Minister Lu was at a loss as to what to do and let his wife throw a tantrum. Others ignored her and she got tired and annoyed with her, so she naturally stopped.

Not all children get candy when they cry.

"I can't believe that King Jin has stockpiled so many things!"

Minister Lu stored grain for the Prince of Jin and supported his rule. Once his behind-the-scenes identity became known, many Simons could only sigh.

The King of Jin was so cruel that he watched helplessly as the common people starved to death and the soldiers became weak with hunger on the battlefield, yet he was unwilling to let even a little money slip through his fingers to feed the people and the soldiers.

What's the point of talking about imperial power? If it fell into his hands, he would be the first to promise him a high position and generous salary.

The reason why Simon is in this situation today is all because of those people in power who play power games, don’t care about the people’s livelihood, and only care about themselves.

The regent's private treasury was also found, but he did not have as much wealth as the Prince of Jin, not even one-third of his.

After raiding the private vaults of the two giants, Nangong Min finally felt relieved.

The Great Zhou army will no longer have to worry about food!

Just the food that was confiscated would be enough to feed all the soldiers for a year.

On the third day, they arrived at the place where Wu Ji and the others were arranged to go.

Wu Ji chose to return to her hometown and live with her brother.

Asam was demoted to a commoner, and Bai Lien allowed him to accompany Wu Ji and her son. From then on, he lived the life of a commoner, and his descendants were not allowed to serve as officials in the court.

Lu Cui went to look for her relatives, leaving only Yuan Mo and her two subordinates behind.

After Wu Ji and the others left, Bai Li was just about to take a break when a letter arrived from Da Zhou.

"Oh no! Qiannan has been lost, and the Emperor is extremely worried."

"Qiannan? Isn't that where my father and grandfather's army is?"

Bai Li stood up and Nangong Min handed her the letter in his hand.

"This is from the Emperor. The Li army is currently fighting the Meng Kingdom. The situation is not going well and they are losing ground!"

"Why haven't my dad and the others arrived yet?"

"According to intelligence, General Bai and his men have encountered an ambush and have yet to reunite with the Li family army."

"No, I have to go save them."

"Li'er, here..."

Nangong Min wanted to say that she couldn't just abandon this mess and run away alone, but no matter how many words she said, they all turned into a sigh.

Putting himself in Bai Li's shoes, he could understand how he felt at the moment.

Moreover, the emperor has given her special privileges. She is like the emperor himself, and he has to listen to her no matter what she wants to do. So, what else can he say?

"Nangong Min, Yuan Mo, the two of you should help each other take care of Simon. I'll be back soon."

"How about I go with you?"

"No, I can ride a big eagle very fast, just like when I went to rescue the emperor before."

Bai Li had experience and wanted to end the battle quickly. He would be back in three to five days at most.

"Well, I'll wait for you to come back in Simon, so be careful!"

Nangong Min knew very well that Simon needed people to run a big business, so he didn't say that he would accompany her.

Bai Li was most satisfied with his clarity of mind.

He always stays by her side silently. When he can be with her, he will never be absent. When he cannot leave, he will put the overall situation first and will not mix in personal feelings.

After exchanging a few words of advice, Bai Li was ready to set off immediately.

"So urgent? You and Big Bird haven't even prepared food and drink for the journey!"

Yuan Mo couldn't persuade Bai Li and just wanted to prepare her luggage properly.

Even if they fly, a man and a bird must eat at the end of the day, right?

"No need, I can eat wherever I go. This is not a problem for me."

Come to think of it, no one has noticed where the eagle usually rests.

Anyway, every time Bai Li wanted to ride it, it suddenly appeared next to him, as if it had always been there, but had been ignored.

The eagle walked over with its head lowered and leaned against Bai Li. Such a huge animal was so docile in front of Bai Li that Yuan Mo wanted to ride it.

"I advise you to give up this idea. Countless people have been thrown off by it!"

Nangong Min looked at his former subordinate and kindly reminded him.

"Is this true? Look how well behaved it is now!"

Yuan Mo had an expression that said, "You won't lie to me, will you?" Nangong Min pursed his lips and said no more.

He was the one who talked too much, believe it or not!

Bai Li glared at him. She was her good sister, so shouldn’t he help her?

"Yuan Mo, I'll let you ride it once it's familiar with you. Before that, it's better not to provoke it."

Bai Li said it tactfully, and Yuan Mo understood immediately. It turned out that the big bird was bullying the newcomer.

Bai Li: It’s not bullying strangers, it’s bullying people!

Her elder brother had been greedy for so long and had been serving the eagle for a while, but the eagle ignored him!

Speaking of this, her elder and second brothers are still supporting her in Qiangzhou, and they don't know about her father's situation. If they knew, they would be more anxious than she is.

"The eagle has left, go and save people!"

Bai Li climbed onto the eagle's back and waved his hand gracefully. The eagle flapped its wings and took off, and dust was blown all over everyone's face.

Yuan Mo spat out the mud and sand in his mouth and looked up at the sky. Big eagle, did you do this on purpose?

Bai Li was extremely anxious and urged the eagle to speed up.

She got up in the morning and didn't even have breakfast. If she rushed there at this hour, she would probably arrive in Qiannan by tomorrow morning.

"Big Eagle, are you hungry?"

The huge bird nodded its head, and Bai Li took out a piece of dried meat and put it into its mouth.

She saw the locals selling this dried meat at a stall in the Simon Imperial City. She found out that this was the favorite food of the eagle, so she bought all the dried meat on the stall.

The eagle had a full stomach and was full of energy, so it flew very fast.

That night, Bai Li arrived at the border of southern Guizhou.

In the dark night, Bai Li looked down from high above and through the telescope, she discovered the footprints of her father and others.

Her father, Bai Zongren, was led by a group of soldiers and several hundred people, circling in the forest and unable to get out.

Bai Li ordered the eagle to descend, and its own solar incandescent lamp quickly allowed the people below to discover her.

"Look! What's that?"

"A big bird!"

"No, there's light on the big bird, and it's carrying people!"

"No way? Who is so awesome that a big bird can carry him?"

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense, maybe it's a god coming!"

"No, maybe it's true! It's a fairy descending to earth!"

"Really! Look, she glows!"

Bai Li had heard the discussions below long ago, so she deliberately placed the incandescent lamp on top of her head and fixed it with a wire.

From a distance, it looks like she has a halo and is glowing all over.
