The third day.
Everything is calm and peaceful.
There was no fighting in Shuozhou, and King Zhelan not only did not attack Wuzhou City, but retreated ten miles.
Sun Jizong in the city breathed a sigh of relief and carefully opened the city gate to let the Dayin people outside the city in.
At the same time, he immediately sent someone to contact Shuozhou.
The Bai family shop in Wuzhou City was a completely different scene.
In the inner courtyard, behind a table filled with delicacies from land and sea, Bai Sheng had already drunk a lot of wine.
He was so drunk that he just picked up the wine jug and drank it down in one gulp.
After a big gulp of wine, I felt hot all over and started talking more:
"The Tartars have been besieging the city for several days, and my Bai family's business has been stagnant for many days. My father and his escorts have been away for half a month, and I don't know what the situation is like!"
Li Si, who was standing next to Bai Sheng pouring wine, quickly agreed, "Master, good fortune will come naturally. Young Master, don't worry."
That day, Zhao Muyun went to the Bai family in anger because his brother Zhao Pu was hit by a car. Li Si and several other servants of the Bai family were defeated by Zhao Muyun and hid aside, not daring to make a sound.
Bai Sheng was also slapped twice in the groin by Zhao Muyun, and then dragged away by Zhao Muyun to report to the police.
At that time, Li Si and others were afraid and did not dare to step forward.
Afterwards, Bai Shouren negotiated with Zhao Muyun and paid fifty taels of silver to temporarily settle the matter.
From then on, Bai Sheng hated Zhao Muyun.
Due to the poor performance of Li Si and others, Bai Sheng did not look at them with a good face.
When they were planning to drive them away and replace them, the Tartars had already arrived at the gates of Wu Zhou.
Bai Sheng could only let Li Si and others stay.
"Nonsense, my father is going to the grassland this time. He has an important mission to attend to, so he will be safe."
"When he returns, it will be the time for our Bai family to be glorious."
Bai Sheng roared in anger, drunkenly, "And you filthy bastards! If I hadn't spoken well of you in front of my father, you would have been wandering the streets by now!"
"Yes, yes, thank you, Master, for letting bygones be bygones and taking us in!"
Li Si nodded and bowed, even though he was dissatisfied in his heart, he could only agree with his words.
The majestic image of Zhao Muyun who came in alone that day to ask for an explanation for his brother was still deeply engraved in Li Si's mind.
"For a salary of three or four hundred coins a month, is it really necessary to work so hard?" Zhao Muyun's words shocked him deeply.
If it weren't for the pressure of life, who would be willing to be a lackey or pawn of a wealthy family?
"That's good to know!"
Seeing Li Si and the others being so humble, Bai Sheng became more and more proud. "You servants should be grateful and repay the kindness you have received."
"Looking at the current situation, Wuzhou City is probably undefendable! If the Tartars break in, they'll burn, kill, and loot, and no one will survive."
Li Si and others looked panicked upon hearing this.
Seeing the panicked look on Li Si and the others' faces, Bai Sheng couldn't help but look smug: "However, as long as I'm here, I can ensure that you're safe!"
"We have the young master's protection, so our lives will be safe." Li Si said with a smile.
At this moment, someone outside whispered, "Master, someone is looking for you!"
Bai Sheng's interest was interrupted, and he shouted angrily, "Who is it?"
"He...he said that the people who went to the north have returned!" the person outside responded.
When Bai Sheng heard the word "north", he sobered up a little and immediately shouted, "Please invite him in!"
Then a man was brought in.
"Master, do you still remember me?"
The man yelled for assurance as he entered the room.
"You...you are?" Bai Sheng tried to recall for a while, and suddenly realized, "You are Lao Zhou?"
"Young Master, was I assigned by the Second Boss? I'm Old Zhou who went to the grassland to deliver a message to Timur!" the man asked anxiously.
"All of you get out!"
Bai Sheng's eyes flashed and he waved his hand to let Li Si and the others go out.
"Old Zhou, do you have any news about my father?" Bai Sheng asked.
Old Zhou said excitedly: "Master, after I went to Canglang Lake on the orders of the Second Boss, a lot of things happened on the grassland..."
Old Zhou then told about what he had seen and heard on his way back to Shuozhou from the grassland after he met Temur and revealed the whereabouts of Zhao Muyun and Bai Shouren.
This includes the Tartars moving south to Shuozhou and Zhao Muyun's surprise attack on the royal court.
Old Zhou whispered, "The Second Boss asked me to find Timur, but in fact, he wanted to use the Tartars to get rid of Zhao Muyun!"
"What's the result?" Bai Sheng asked coldly.
"Only Zhao Muyun returned to Shuozhou from the grassland with thousands of people, but the second boss was nowhere to be seen!" Lao Zhou replied.
"Zhao Muyun is back? But there's no news about my father? There must be something fishy going on!"
Bai Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone knows that Zhao Muyun has a grudge against our Bai family! My uncle died at his hands, I almost killed his brother, and now he humiliated me in public!"
"Then where did my father go?"
Bai Sheng suddenly understood. After listening to Lao Zhou's words, he immediately got to the point.
Old Zhou said, "Master, I don't know either! But I think you should go find Master Sun right away! I heard from the Second Master that Master Sun recommended him to go to the grassland! We have to let Master Sun make the decision."
"I've wanted to visit Lord Sun for a long time, but unfortunately the Tartars have been attacking the city fiercely these past few days, and Lord Sun has been busy defending the city and has no time to see anyone!"
Bai Sheng frowned, "But now that the Tartars have withdrawn, I'm going to go see him, just in case my father's business comes up!"
"From now on, the Bai family will depend on you, young master. Now that the second master is away, you should step forward and do something!" Old Zhou said tactfully.
"Old Zhou, you are right. Everyone in the Bai family says that my cousin is very capable. In the future, the Bai family's business will depend on her alone. They simply treat me as nothing!" Bai Sheng said hatefully.
