Lin Jiuxi had no choice but to comfort her, "Don't worry, don't worry. Don't cry for now. I will definitely go to the capital to rescue Master Bai. He should be fine."

"But what if his stomach problem gets worse? It will be very painful?" Xiaolian still looked worried.

Lin Jiuxi thought more.

Since the emperor wanted to use Bai Hengqiu as bait, it was probably not just a matter of not giving him food or starving him to the point of having stomach problems.

"Did they say when the sacrificial ceremony will begin?" Lin Jiuxi was a little worried about the time issue.

"It seems to be on the night of the full moon." Xiaolian thought for a while and said quickly.

The full moon night generally refers to the fifteenth day.

The two of them exposed each other's shortcomings and were both angry and sad.

Lin Jiuxi brought Xiaolian into the City Lord's Mansion and asked someone to take good care of her.

"Besides, when you go to the capital now, have you not considered the current battlefield? What about Jizhou City after you leave? What about Qinzhou City? Are you planning to hand it all over to those idiots? Can they take care of it?"

Lin Jiuxi's heart skipped a beat, and she wanted to say something to save the situation. She didn't really hate Linglong. Linglong had always helped her a lot without asking for anything in return.

"Oh, you are a man of loyalty and righteousness." Linglong gave a sarcastic smile, cold and full of sarcasm.

Although there was already a gap in her heart, Lin Jiuxi had to admit that in many cases, her life mentor was Linglong.

After all, Zhang Yi and his men were reckless and inexperienced. Moreover, managing a small gang of more than 10,000 people in Taoyuan Gang and managing a place with hundreds of thousands of people were not just dozens of times more difficult, but simply not on the same order of magnitude.

"Aunt Linglong, no matter how you try to persuade me, I won't listen to you on this matter."

Linglong can be said to be completely devoted to her.

Based on what Linglong did last time, she had every reason to believe that Linglong would really do this.

"I know. But he was indeed captured. He has done favors for me and Nangong, and he is also my mother's only relative in this world. I can't give up his life and let him die like this. Even if it's just a trap." Lin Jiuxi said firmly.

He looked at Lin Jiuxi with hurt eyes.

"But Master Bai has helped me so many times. How can I remain indifferent when I see him suffering now? Aunt Linglong, I understand all the reasons you said. I also know that now that the battlefield has stretched out for a long time, it may be more difficult to control." Lin Jiuxi thought about it and decided not to be led by Linglong. He explained, "No one can tell what is happening on the battlefield, and no one knows how long these things will last. But Master Bai said that they can't wait any longer. On the full moon night of the fifteenth day of this month, they plan to sacrifice Master Uncle to the gods! I must hurry over there."

"Aunt Linglong, the emperor and his men have actually captured Bai Hengqiu! They also said that they will torture him to death on the fifteenth of this month as a sacrifice to the gods. I must go and save him." Afraid that Linglong would stop him again, Lin Jiuxi decided to speak up first.

At the same time, she had no time to take care of the accumulated official duties, so she turned around and went to find Linglong.

"This is obviously a trap? Are you stupid and can't you see it?" Linglong frowned and said unhappily.

Lin Jiuxi looked up at the crescent moon.

"Don't listen to me? If you didn't listen to me, you would probably still be locked up in the palace now! Do you think you are grown up and have grown up enough to make your own decisions now?" Linglong was also very angry.

Seeing Linglong's words becoming more and more harsh, Lin Jiuxi said somewhat unhappily: "They are not idiots."

Linglong didn't appreciate it: "But I don't need it. The dead are dead. Even if Bai Xiaodie left me a love letter, she wouldn't call me to the capital. Even if she did, she wouldn't be as reckless as him. She's like a sitting duck."

"Those who achieve great things don't care about small details. I am cold-hearted and cruel, but at least I won't be so stupid as to be caught, and need someone as stupid as you to rescue him. If you insist on going, I will have to lock you up first, and wait until he dies and can no longer be a threat to you. Let's see if they still want to use these lousy tricks." Linglong said threateningly.

She thought so and said so.

"It will get better in the future, but what about now? You are going to hand over this mess to them now. If trouble arises, how will you come back from the capital to take care of this side?" Linglong asked aggressively, "And if something happens to you in the capital, how will you take care of both sides of the battlefield?"

There are about ten days left until the full moon night.

"I..." Lin Jiuxi was indeed speechless after what he said.

Lin Jiuxi had already guessed that she would stop him and would be dissatisfied.

Lin Jiuxi understood it in his heart, but he just couldn't get over the cleanliness obsession in his heart.

"Aunt Linglong, if you were the one imprisoned in the capital, I would definitely save you like I am doing now."

Lin Jiuxi felt more and more that Linglong was too focused on her career, not caring about other people's feelings, and was too cold-blooded.

So I accidentally made a fool of myself.

Although he was a little disappointed, based on Linglong's performance over the past few times, Lin Jiuxi was not too surprised.

Linglong's face turned cold.

"Aunt Linglong, aren't you a little too cold-blooded? Last time, there were so many people, and you watched them all die. Now, Master Bai and you are acquainted, can you also watch him die like this? Is your heart made of stone? Don't you feel any heartache?"

Linglong's tone softened again and she said with a sigh.

"Bai Hengqiu and I are old acquaintances, so I naturally don't want anything to happen to this old friend. But we have to prioritize. Xi'er knows that you will go further and further away in the future, so you can't be trapped in these petty relationships."

Lin Jiuxi continued to defend Zhang Yi and the others, "They just don't have experience yet, they will get better in the future."

Lin Jiuxi didn't dare to argue anymore.

"They are not idiots. Look at what they are doing now. If it weren't for your leadership, such idiots would never have been able to become officials."

If I completely enrage Linglong and ask her to lock me up and guard me, it would be even more difficult for me to save people.

The sky is dark and the moon is bright.

Lin Jiuxi packed his package and tiptoed to open the door.

"Where are you going?" Linglong held a pot of wine in her hand and drank by herself under the moonlight.

"Uh..." Lin Jiuxi was forced to walk over reluctantly and said in a flattering manner, "Is this also a peach blossom bar? It smells really good."
