Chapter 59: Did your father ask your mother?

Nangong Min led his 4,000-strong army and returned with a complete victory for the first time with zero deaths and casualties.

The news had already been sent to the capital by scouts at an express speed of 800 miles, and it would arrive soon.

The generals and soldiers returned to the camp happily, leading several fat and strong war horses.

The horses were loaded with all kinds of trophies, which attracted the attention of the villagers.

Bai Li found Nangong Min and said, "Reporting to the Major General, I am on leave today and tomorrow. Please allow me to go home for leave."

Nangong Min: "I wanted to reward you for your merits tomorrow, so I agree."

"Thank you!"

Bai Li waved his hand and left the army. A voice behind him shouted, "Hey! There's still me! There's still me!"

The team returned triumphantly with great fanfare, and the villagers flocked out to watch the excitement.

Bai Zongren squeezed out of the crowd and saw his troublesome little monkey at a glance.

"Dad! Dad! I'm here!"

Bai Li waved his arms and went forward excitedly.

Bai Zongren secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was alive and well, and seemed to be fine.

"Why are you coming here instead of going back to the barracks?"

Bai Li's face full of joy suddenly turned into one of resentment.

"Dad, I finally managed to save my life from the battlefield, but you don't care about me at all and you even want to drive me away. Are you still my real dad?"

Bai Zongren was dizzy from her shaking and pulled her claws away.

"Ask your mother if she's your real father. She keeps talking nonsense all day long!"

"Dad! How about we spar again?"

Bai Zongren stumbled and veins popped out on his forehead.

"Alright, you're now openly threatening your father. Are you getting cocky now?

It seems you've long forgotten the taste of stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork. I don't mind letting you relive it!"

"No, no thanks, Dad~"

Bai Li shamelessly grabbed her father's arm and hugged him coquettishly. Bai Zongren pulled once, but he didn't move. He pulled again, but he still didn't move at all.

Forget it, forget it, this little devil is going to eat him.

Bai Zongren exhaled a breath of foul air and pulled the corners of his mouth.

"Then go home. Your Aunt Bai made you some pork and celery dumplings, and your favorite braised pork..."

"Yeah! Aunt Bai still loves me. I'll be leaving first!"

Bai Li let go of her father and ran away in a bound. Bai Zongren shook his head and cursed viciously, "She's like a wild monkey. Let's see when she gets into trouble!"

Unfortunately, the doting in his eyes betrayed him.

"Luo Yang, tell me quickly about the situation on the battlefield."

Luo Yang still couldn't accept the way his eldest brother and his daughter got along, and his mouth twitched when he saw it.

When he heard about the battlefield, Luo Yang became interested and started talking about his boss's heroic deeds of showing his power and killing everyone.

The setting sun has already fallen to the top of the mountain, coating the earth with a golden glow.

Bai Li pushed open the familiar courtyard door, and the aroma of food filled his nose.

"Mom, Aunt Bai, I'm back. Is the meal ready?"

"Alright, alright, this girl is still making a fuss even after entering the military camp. She doesn't look like a soldier at all!"

Mrs. Li responded with amusement, and saw her granddaughter rushing up the stairs like a monkey, with three steps in each step. She couldn't hide the doting in her eyes.

"Grandma, I'm hungry!"

Bai Li looked aggrieved, and Li was defeated.

"Okay, okay, Bai Ma, hurry up and cook dumplings for the young lady!"

"Hey, the dumplings are already in the pot. They'll be ready soon. Miss, have some pastries to fill your stomach first!"

"Sister, I have some candy. I'll fill your stomach first."

"Sister, I have some too, eat mine!"

"I don't like candy, you guys have it. But thank you anyway!"

In the stilt house, there was laughter and joy because Bai Li had returned.

Bai Yue threw a basket of wild grass for feeding rabbits and chickens to the ground, covered her face with her hands, turned around and ran out.

"Why? We are all prisoners, why is she still a lady?"

"Eating dumplings, braised pork, and cakes...why?"

Bai Yue ran towards the river while crying. As long as she stayed within the river's range, no one would care about her.

Suddenly, she bumped into a wall of people and almost fell down, but a pair of big hands supported her waist in time.

Bai Yue stood firm, raised her misty eyes and looked, a familiar handsome face appeared in front of her, and she couldn't help but exclaimed with her hands covering her mouth.

"Is it you?"

"Second Miss Bai."

"I am a prisoner now, not a young lady."

Bai Yue blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.

"I wonder what Miss Bai is doing here in such a hurry?"

Zhao Yuntian glanced at the young woman in front of him with an inquiring gaze. She was wearing a coarse cloth dress and had dark skin, looking just like a crude country girl.

"I……"

When Bai Yue was asked about her worries, she felt a long-lost care.

Her father, mother, and even her brother now only treat her as a servant, beating and scolding her at any time, and even not giving her enough to eat. She has no family care and love at all.

The beauty in front of me has a pair of black eyes that are full of sparkling light, and she is indescribably charming.

Zhao Yuntian's eyes deepened, and he seemed to see another face through her.

At that time, she fell off her horse for the first time, injuring her arms and legs. She fought back tears, but her eyes were red. The tears on her eyelashes were about to fall, and her face overlapped with the bright and flamboyant female soldiers on the battlefield with their agile postures...

They are all prisoners, so why can that woman live so comfortably and freely now?

Also, why is her martial arts so powerful? Who is her master?

Perhaps, the woman in front of me knows something.

"If you have any grievances, you should speak them out, otherwise you will feel depressed."

Zhao Yuntian softened his tone, just like an older brother coaxing his younger sister next door.

Bai Yue couldn't hold it in any longer and cried "Wow!" into his arms.

A hint of disgust flashed across Zhao Yuntian's face, and he gently put his hand around her shoulders.

In his arms, Bai Yue had a triumphant smile on her face, her shoulders twitching, and she was obviously "crying" very sadly.

Zhao Yuntian suppressed his nausea and raised his hand to gently pat her back.

It was unknown how long the two of them snuggled together before Zhao Yuntian gently pushed her away.

"Okay, tell me what you want to say. I'm willing to be your loyal listener."

Bai Yue embarrassedly covered her face, and after a while she said, "Let's find a place to sit. It's not good to stand and talk like this."

"Miss Bai, please."

A man and a woman walked against the sunset glow. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty, and they looked a perfect match.

Unfortunately, when they turned around, the various calculations and ulterior motives in their eyes destroyed this beautiful moment.

Bai Li finally got to eat the plump white dumplings and ate three big bowls at once!

Luo Yang was stunned. His eldest son really could eat!

Well, that’s not the point. He knew that she had wild boar meat, but where did her family get so much white flour?

Not only Bai Li ate white flour and pork dumplings, but his entire family of nearly twenty people, young and old, and even the servants ate the same dumplings and rice.

Oh my goodness, wasn’t the Bai family raided?

How come there is still so much food?

Luo Yang was stunned for a while, and only came back to his senses when Bai Li knocked the edge of the bowl with a chopstick.

"What are you daydreaming about? If you don't eat now, it will be gone!"

Luo Yang looked down and saw that everyone in the Bai family was busy eating. There was still a piece of braised pork left on the table, but the dumplings in the pot were almost gone!
