Chapter 586 How can there be no difference between living and dying?
Three days later, Yuan Xiaonian returned to Dajin with a letter of armistice.
Completely different from when he came, his army had expanded more than ten times. Not only were all six brothers of the Bai family by his side, but there were also three thousand Jingwei from Dongchu.
Fuxing and Cao Huaping were indistinguishable in the fire. Zi Tong refused to bury Cao Huaping in the imperial mausoleum. Finally, Bai Yu'an buried them together behind Tian'en Temple so that the people from Feiyun Sect could take care of them.
When the carriage left Dongchu, Bai Yu'an kept looking in the direction of Tian'en Temple and said silently in his heart, "Fuxing, wait for me, I will be back soon."
If nothing unexpected happens, the Bai family army will send troops to station in Dongchu. He will ask the Emperor of Jin and Bai Yunfeng to send him to lead the troops personally.
Ten years, he can still stay with her for ten years.
It took Yuan Xiaonian and his companions a full fifteen days to travel from Dajin to Dongchu, and they encountered countless schemes and traps.
But unexpectedly, they had a smooth journey back. Even though they were walking with such a large group, it took them a full twenty days.
The day before entering the imperial city of Dajin, Zuo Jiali found Bai Yu'an and others.
"I won't go into the city with you tomorrow." He smiled and touched Li Suining's little head. "Remember to say hello to mother for me."
Li Suining blinked his eyes curiously, "Brother Zuo Er, where are you going?"
Zuo Jiali glanced at the road he had come from and said, "I'm not going anywhere. I want to wait for someone."
"Who is it?" Li Suining became more and more curious.
"Okay, kid, stop asking. I won't tell you even if you ask me." Zuo Jiali pinched the little guy's cheek and looked at Bai Yu'an again.
"Okay!" Bai Yu'an nodded, and then asked tentatively, "Do you want to leave a few people to help you?"
Zuo Jiali subconsciously glanced at You Zhu, but quickly retracted his gaze and said embarrassedly, "It's okay, no need."
Bai Qingan noticed the look in his eyes and immediately asked You Zhu, "Sixth Brother, do you mind coming home a little later?"
"It doesn't matter." You Zhu said carelessly, "I'll just go with Zuo Er."
"You kid..." Zuo Jiali held his forehead helplessly, "You really have no manners at all..."
Xiao Youzhu crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. "So do you want me to stay or not? If not, forget it."
He pretended to turn and leave.
Zuo Jiali quickly stopped him, "No, stay, Master Youzhu, stay and help me!"
"Hehe..." Li Suining couldn't help but laugh when he saw him like this, and he also stepped forward to persuade You Zhu, "Sixth brother, just stay and help Second Brother Zuo."
"Okay!" You Zhu stood back beside Zuo Jiali and said to Li Suining, "I'm willing to stay for my sister's sake."
"Okay, thank you, and thank our Xiao Suining." Zuo Jiali said with a smile.
After that, You Zhu naturally followed Zuo Jiali.
It wasn't until the main force left that Zuo Jiali looked at You Zhu curiously, "Aren't you curious about what I'm going to do? Why do I need your help?"
"Does it have anything to do with me?" You Zhu asked back, still looking lazy.
Zuo Jiali smiled and shook his head. "It really doesn't matter. I guess I chose the right person."
In fact, he obviously wanted to choose someone with good kung fu skills, but he did not choose Bai Shi'an or Bai Yu'an, but chose the youngest You Zhu, because he did not want the other party to ask too many questions.
He and Youzhu waited in the nearby woods for a day and a night.
That night, someone finally showed up, and it seemed to be a woman.
You Zhu finally showed some interest and glanced at Zuo Jiali.
Zuo Jiali was very nervous and told You Zhu in a low voice, "Protect this woman. If I'm right, someone will kill her."
You Zhu nodded.
As it turned out, Zuo Jiali's guess was correct. The woman was assassinated before she even got close to the gate of the imperial city. The three men were all top killers.
You Zhu acted incredibly quickly, and he actually took care of the three killers in the dark.
Zuo Jiali was stunned. He looked at the corpse on the ground, then at You Zhu. "You really are a young killer! Okay, I'll remember this favor. Go home!"
"Okay, I'm leaving!" You Zhu smiled and disappeared quickly.
The woman was wearing a nightgown and a black veil, and it was almost impossible to tell who she was. She was obviously frightened by what had just happened. She stood there in shock, her eyes exposed, looking at Zuo Jiali from afar.
Zuo Jiali took a few steps forward, grabbed the woman's hand, and said quickly, "Let's leave here first."
The woman let him pull her into the woods and ran a long way towards Dongchu.
"What are you doing?" The woman seemed to finally come to her senses and pulled her hand back. "Where are you taking me?"
Zuo Jiali stopped and looked at her anxiously, "Don't you understand yet? You can't go back to Dajin. Shangguan Jinglan wants to kill you. Leave, anywhere is fine."
The woman frowned. "Do you know who I am?"
"What do you think?" Zuo Jiali reached out and ripped off the veil on the woman's face. Looking at the familiar face, he smiled wickedly, "Sister Baizhi!"
Bai Zhi turned her head and subconsciously avoided Zuo Jiali's gaze. After realizing that this was a useless action, she looked over with some annoyance.
"How did you know it was me?"
"Ever since I left Dajin, I realized that Shangguan Jinglan had sent someone to monitor me. However, this person only tried to inform me and remind me, but never thought of harming me..."
Zuo Jiali smiled and shook his head. "I don't have the confidence to have such connections in Kunning Palace, except... my dear sister."
Baizhi lowered her head, and the moonlight concealed her blushing face.
"You knew Shangguan Jinglan would leave no one alive who participated in this mission, so why did you come back?" Zuo Jiali said in a deep voice, "Aren't you just going to die?"
How could Baizhi not know this?
From the moment Shangguan Jinglan handed this matter to her, she knew that everyone who participated in this mission would die, including her.
But at that time, she only wanted to help Zuo Jiali and didn't want this young man with a bright future to die like this.
Seeing Yuan Xiaonian and others returning victoriously, and seeing Zuo Jiali talking and laughing in their team, Bai Zhi was particularly happy for him. She secretly followed the large army all the way, and gradually dealt with all the people sent by Shangguan Jinglan. In fact, this was her biggest task.
She also knew that she could not return to the imperial city, so she waited for another day and night. She wanted to know whether she should live or not.
"What difference does it make?" she said with a wry smile. She'd been thinking about it all day and night, and she felt like even if she survived, what difference would it make? It made no difference.
"How can there be no difference?" Zuo Jiali suddenly became angry after hearing this. "How can there be no difference between living and dying immediately?"
