Bai Zirong was originally cheerful, but when he saw Jiang's eyes suddenly turned red,
Suddenly, I felt uncomfortable in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face. I still smiled and said,
"Mom, don't worry. The purpose of our trip is to defeat the enemy without fighting!"
"We brought secret weapons with us, enough to intimidate the enemy forces in the Northern Desert. Maybe I can even come back with my sister!"
Bai Zirong's smile also contained a lot of reluctance.
The first time I went to the battlefield, the first time I truly served my country, the first time I was away from my family.
Originally he thought he could face it all calmly.
Little did I know that in front of my family, all my earlier self-righteousness would crumble to pieces...
"It would be great if this weapon was really that powerful. It would keep the people safe and sound without war."
Even Bai Heng, who was always mature and steady, couldn't help but choke up at this moment.
My son has ambitions and ideals. If I hadn't stopped him, he might have become a general now.
Since the choice is now in his son's hands, he will not obstruct it anymore.
"Zirong, tell us in advance when you're ready to leave, and we'll help you practice!"
Bai Zixuan also said with a smile that he understood his brother.
He was not satisfied with just working in the Ministry of War. He longed for a broader world, so as his brother, he just needed to support him.
"Second brother, you must come back safely. We agreed to celebrate the New Year together!"
Little Ziyi was not to be outdone and said with his neck stiff.
Bai Zirong felt full of love at this moment. With the love of his family, he would be more brave on the battlefield!
"Okay, I've taken note of what everyone said. I should be able to have a reunion dinner with my family and leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"We must try to get back before New Year's Eve so we can celebrate the New Year together."
A good home-cooked meal suddenly became sentimental.
Jiang couldn't hold back any more, tears kept falling, Bai Heng wiped her tears with a distressed look.
The old lady also said that she wanted to go to Wufang Temple to ask for amulets for peace and asked them to take them with them.
Bai Zirong quickly filled the glass with wine and toasted everyone one by one, livening up the atmosphere.
Jiang was amused by him as always, and then said,
"You, now that you're on the battlefield, your marriage will be delayed until who knows when. Mother will help you find someone first, and we'll decide when you come back."
Jiang was still concerned about Bai Zirong's marriage. After all, she didn't even have a target now.
Besides, not everyone’s marriage is as quick as Bai Zixuan and Liu Ruyin’s.
Normally, the whole process from finding a candidate to getting married takes at least one or two years.
By the way, there is also the hasty marriage of Du Wenqing and Su Yunxi. No one in the Bai family is willing to mention it, which is also very special.
"Mom, you don't have to worry about my marriage for now."
As expected by everyone, Bai Zirong refused again. Every time he mentioned this matter, he always said this:
However, just when Jiang was about to give up the topic,
Bai Zirong spoke, and his expression was extremely awkward.
"I already have someone in mind, so don't worry about it anymore."
After Bai Zirong finished speaking, he immediately drank the wine in the glass.
He didn't know why, but he just said it out loud. Maybe he was just happy today.
“!!!”
“???”
Everyone present was stunned by Bai Zirong's words.
Jiang took a long time to react before she said in surprise,
"It's only been a short time, and my son already has a girl he likes?"
"Don't worry, mother has already prepared your betrothal gifts. As long as you tell us, we can go and propose at any time!"
Mrs. Jiang felt that today was a bit mysterious. Did her second son have a girl he liked?
Doesn't he stay in the army all day? Could it be that he fell in love with a girl at first sight while shopping on his day off?
"Mom, please don't try to trick me. I'm not sure yet. I'll definitely tell you when the time comes."
Bai Zirong had long seen his mother's gossipy heart,
But the matter hadn't even been decided yet, and by saying it out loud he had ruined the girl's reputation.
“…”
When Jiang heard this, she immediately understood that this meant that he had not yet won the girl's heart!
Different from everyone else's curious look, Bai Shu had an expression of "I understand, I understand everything".
Bai Zirong was so embarrassed and angry,
He simply gave up and buried his head in eating, ignoring his sister's teasing eyes.
Both ears are empty, not listening, not listening,
Seeing Bai Zirong's cute look, the others just smiled and continued eating.
…
Time flies, and the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed in the blink of an eye. It is the day when Bai Shu and her group set off for the border.
During this time, Bai Shu prepared various poisons and antidotes in case of any accidents on the road.
The terrain of the Northern Desert is rugged, with many mountains, forests and canyons along the way. If you encounter snakes, insects, rats or ants, you can deal with them quickly.
Xiao Moqing never used his internal force again, and followed Bai Shu's doctor's instructions, taking medicinal baths and acupuncture treatments.
However, the food at Tianxiang Restaurant is never the same, with fresh dishes every day.
She also received some gifts from time to time, and her leisure time was always happy.
But the happiest news for her was that Du Wenqing was imprisoned and investigated every now and then for crimes such as bribery, forming a clique for personal gain, and gambling.
If they are guilty, they will be detained for ten days or half a month before being released. If they are not guilty, they will be investigated for ten days or half a month before being released.
Because Du Wenqing had no money, the amount involved was not large, and they were all minor offenses.
As for Su Yunxi, she was naturally tortured by Du's mother every day, and her life was completely different from her life in the prime minister's residence.
I wonder who will win in the end of their battle of wits and courage.
In short, Bai Shu was certain that Du Wenqing and the others had no hope of recovering, so the mission had other implications.
On this trip with Xiao Moqing, there must be no mistakes...
"Sister, Shu'er, you must be careful on the road. Even if you are traveling, don't go to too remote places!"
Everyone gathered at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion to bid farewell. Liu Ruyin said goodbye to the eldest princess and Bai Shu.
She admired them both very much, because in her childhood education, she had never been taught that women could go out and play alone.
But she had Bai Zixuan, so she had no regrets. She looked forward to Bai Shu and the eldest princess coming back and telling her about what they had seen and heard along the way.
"Shu'er, remember to write to us and let us know you're safe."
There is always endless talk at the time of separation. Jiang Shi still held Bai Shu's hand and talked incessantly.
Xiao Moqing, dressed in a black brocade robe, was waiting quietly at the carriage behind her.
There was still a sense of keeping strangers away from him, but for some reason, no one sensed any impatience from him.
When it was getting late and they had to leave, Xiao Moqing stepped forward and said solemnly to Jiang,
"Madam Bai, please rest assured. I will ensure her safe return."
A gentleman keeps his word.
The conviction in Xiao Moqing's eyes was like a reassurance to the Bai family...
