"Miss, that benefactor will surely return safely!"
Chun Xiang offered some comfort, but then worriedly said, "It's just that the Tartars outside the city haven't retreated yet, and Shuozhou might be captured any day!"
"If the Tartars come and attack, a beautiful woman like you might..."
Chunxiang was terrified and didn't dare to say anything further.
She heard from others that the Tartars often came to Dayin to plunder crops, burn, kill, loot, and commit all kinds of atrocities.
No young woman was spared.
Not only did she lose her virginity on the spot, but she was also captured and forced into slavery, suffering humiliation and torture beyond recognition.
Even Gu Dao is not spared!
In short, if we fall into the hands of the Tartars, there will be no return.
"I don't know either. I hope Dayin's army can hold Shuozhou!"
Thinking of this, Bai Ruolan's face was filled with worry.
The Bai family had secret dealings with the Tartars, so Bai Shoujing and Bai Shouren had already made plans to avoid putting all their eggs in one basket.
Even if Shuozhou City is broken, the Bai family may be safe and sound.
However, if the benefactor named Zhao Muyun knew that the girl he rescued from the evil soldiers was actually the daughter of the Bai family who only knew how to live a miserable life, would he be sad and upset about it?
What's more, Bai Ruolan accidentally heard that her father and uncle were going to poison Zhao Muyun to death.
I hope my benefactor will be spared from danger after learning of her reminder!
Just when Bai Ruolan was at a loss, there was a noise outside the door, and then her father Bai Shoujing's voice rang out:
"Just now, the Tartars retreated across the board! Our Bai family's business will be operational again soon!"
Bai Ruolan hurried out of her boudoir upon hearing the voice: "Father, are you telling the truth? Did the Tartars really withdraw their troops?"
"That's right, the Tartar army outside the city has begun to retreat one after another." Bai Shoujing said, "Your cousin just sent me news that even the Tartars outside Wu Zhou City have begun to withdraw their troops!"
The Bai family had to live under the force of the Tartars, but that was only when Shuozhou City was broken and Hedong became the Tartars' pasture.
The Bai family is still from Dayin after all, and they are local merchants in Shuozhou. Deep down, they still hope that Dayin will win!
As for their private dealings with the Tartars, which implicated many Dayin officials, the Bai family was not afraid!
When the Tartars turn against us, they are unreasonable and merciless. Now that the matter has been exposed on Dayin's side, there is still a lot of room for mediation.
"The Tatars on the Wu Zhou side have also withdrawn their troops. It seems that the Tatars are really going to retreat to the grasslands! Dayin previously suffered a defeat in the battle against Wu Zhou, so why did they suddenly let the Tatars withdraw their troops?"
Bai Ruolan asked with a frown.
"As a girl, why would you know all this? Now that the Tartars have withdrawn, Shuozhou is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt. This is a great opportunity for our Bai family to operate our business!"
"Daughter, hurry up and get ready. Call the shopkeepers together right away to discuss how to expand the business!"
Bai Shoujing looked very confident.
"Father, I understand!" Bai Ruolan nodded obediently.
She is kind-hearted, smart and has a good business sense.
The Bai family's current overt business is run by her and a group of shopkeepers.
"Father, has my cousin told me about my second uncle? Didn't he lead the caravan to the grasslands? When will he be back?"
Bai Shouren went to the grassland with Zhao Muyun, carrying more than ten mules and horses as cargo.
The billing for these goods went through Bai Ruolan, so it was natural for her to ask about it.
"I...I haven't heard him say that! I guess your uncle must have had a long journey. Only half a month has passed, so he couldn't come back so soon!"
Bai Shoujing's eyes froze for a moment, then he waved his hand as if nothing had happened, "Go and do your work first! Your second uncle doesn't need to worry about it."
Of course he didn't tell the truth to Bai Ruolan.
Because the information that Bai Sheng hurriedly sent over was about the news brought by Lao Zhou from the grassland, as well as some information Bai Sheng had heard from Sun Jizon.
Zhao Muyun found the Wuhuan people, then launched a surprise attack on the Tartar royal court, and returned to the Jingbian Army with a large group of troops.
Bai Shouren and his ten escorts were nowhere to be seen.
If Bai Shouren came back with Zhao Muyun, he would have found a way to send a message to Bai Sheng or Bai Shoujing long ago.
At the same time, the Tatars won a great victory outside Wu Zhou City and were about to launch a large-scale attack on Shuozhou, but they suddenly withdrew their troops, which was somewhat unusual.
Bai Sheng learned from Sun Jizong that the withdrawal of the Tartars might have a lot to do with Zhao Muyun's surprise attack on Wang Tinghuijing's border troops.
So, Bai Sheng asked his uncle to find a way to inquire with the Shuozhou government, perhaps he could get some specific information about Bai Shouren.
Bai Shoujing was of course very concerned about this matter.
Because it was Sun Jizong who took the initiative to find the Bai family when Bai Shouren went out, and it was related to whether the Bai family could obtain political status.
With a layer of official protection, the Bai family's business at the border will be more prosperous.
In addition, the Bai family secretly wanted to use the Tartars to attack Zhao Muyun.
Zhao Muyun was not only safe and sound, but also made many contributions.
But there was no news about Bai Shouren.
Bai Shoujing was eager to know what had happened.
Bai Shoujing hurried out and headed straight for the Shuozhou government office.
Bai Ruolan looked at Bai Shoujing's back, feeling lost.
She seemed to be asking about Bai Shouren's situation unintentionally, but in fact she also wanted to know from the side whether Zhao Muyun was safe.
But when I learned that there was still no news about Bai Shouren, my worries increased a little.
Previously, the Tartars went south to Shuozhou, and the grassland was empty, so Zhao Muyun and his party might be safer.
Now that the Tartars have retreated, the grassland is full of Tartar troops. Wouldn't Zhao Muyun be in even greater danger?
