"Hahaha!" Bai Han laughed loudly, "Alright, kid, don't worry, with Grandpa Bai here, I guarantee you'll live to be a hundred."
Chen Lingfeng looked at Bai Han with a puzzled expression, then at Chen Luo, and couldn't help but ask, "Grandfather, why aren't you worried at all?"
"What's there to worry about?" Chen Xingfeng walked over and said with a smile, "You're just too impatient. Think about it carefully."
Chen Lingfeng grew impatient: "Hey, brother, what time is it now? Just tell me the truth!"
“If they were really going to argue, why would those guards be so polite? They would probably have rushed in before you even saw it,” Chen Xingfeng said helplessly. “I think His Majesty must have had other intentions.”
Bai Han looked at Chen Xingfeng with admiration: "Xingfeng is meticulous. Lingfeng, you should learn from your elder brother." With that, Bai Han handed the imperial edict to the two of them. "After you've read it, go pack your things. We'll leave tonight."
Ning Nanxiao, who lived next door, also received the news and, together with Du Chunhua, sent over a lot of things.
Du Chunhua sighed, "It's only been a day or two, and you're leaving again. Sigh..."
"I'll be back soon," Feng Yue said with a smile. "Don't worry, we'll get together again someday."
"You all left, and my lord isn't here either. I'm so bored!"
Du Chunhua was extremely reluctant to part with it, but she had no other choice.
Bai Tuantuan ran back and saw her family packing their things. Ruotang quickly wiped Bai Tuantuan's sweat and poured her water, saying, "Miss, don't worry, everything is fine at home."
“I know, I saw the guards outside, but they didn’t move.” Bai Tuantuan drank a large glass of water before Chen Lingfeng came over.
"Don't worry, Tuantuan." After Chen Lingfeng finished explaining, Bai Tuantuan understood.
"I understand, I'll go pack my things too."
"White ball".
Ning Nanxiao crossed his arms, leaned against the door, and lazily looked at Bai Tuantuan.
Bai Tuantuan wiped the sweat from her nose and stood up: "What's wrong?"
"I'm going to Fenghua Town in a few days," Ning Nanxiao said calmly.
"You're leaving?" Bai Tuantuan was surprised. "I thought you'd stay in Beijing and help me protect the tube cores."
Ning Nanxiao raised an eyebrow: "She can do it herself."
"I can do it myself."
Guan Xin jogged over at some point and said slowly, "Don't worry about me. I'll come find you after I've taken care of my business."
Bai Tuantuan agreed: "Okay, if there's anything you can't handle, just go to Erdong Restaurant and find someone as I told you."
"good."
Meanwhile, other clans in the capital were watching the Chen family's every move, especially the Zheng family. Lord Zheng listened to his servants' reports with a furrowed brow.
"Father, the position of Prime Minister is vacant now. Do you think the Emperor will let you take it?" Zheng Rucai said excitedly. "Father, we have to work hard to make it happen!"
"What kind of operation is this?" Lord Zheng Jinyi frowned and said irritably, "Bai Han has been in charge for decades, working diligently and conscientiously, never embezzling or accepting bribes, but he was dismissed from office just like that."
“These days, serving a ruler is like walking on thin ice. How many times do I have to tell you? Just don’t be the first to step forward, and don’t be the last to do it either, that’s enough!”
Hearing this, Zheng Rucai pouted and said, "Dad, why are you boosting others' morale while diminishing your own? Besides, don't you also want to climb the ladder?"
"Hmph, I have the ability, do you?"
Zheng Jinyi got angry and said angrily, "All these years, I've nurtured you and spent money on you, but what have you done?"
"You've accomplished nothing, yet you still dream of climbing to the top? Aren't you afraid of falling to your death? Forget Bai Zeyi and Bai Haotian, if you were even more capable than Bai Yuanzhi and Bai Hanri, the Zheng family wouldn't have let an old man like me support them!"
Zheng Rucai lowered his head guiltily and said in a low voice, "Father, why are you talking about me now? Aren't we talking about the Bai family right now?"
Zheng Jinyi closed his eyes and slowly said, "Bai Han was once highly trusted by the Emperor, but he was dismissed from his post without a word. Who will be next, Ru Cai? Have you thought about it?"
Zheng Rucai was stunned: "Father, this?"
"It could be me."
Zheng Jinyi frowned and sighed: "I've fought with Bai Han my whole life, how could the Emperor dismiss him from his post and ignore me?"
"It's not just me, there are others too, I'm afraid everyone is feeling insecure right now."
Zheng Rucai then realized how terrible the situation was and immediately became anxious: "What, what should we do, Father? What should we do?"
"What can we do? We can only wait!"
Seeing Zheng Rucai's flustered appearance, Zheng Jinyi said irritably, "Alright, get out! You're in my way!"
Meanwhile, in Prince Ping's residence, Prince Ping sat behind his desk with a frown, waiting for news.
However, to everyone's surprise, the emperor did not issue any further imperial edicts until that evening.
The Bai family members were escorted out of the city gate by guards and headed north.
Bai Tuantuan sat in the carriage, listening to Chen Luo and Bai Han chat, and soon fell asleep.
They ate and slept along the way, and practiced their skills whenever they had free time; time flew by.
Half a month later, the group arrived at a small town.
The head of the guards approached and bowed to Bai Han, saying, "Prime Minister, we can only escort you this far. The rest of the journey is up to you."
Bai Han smiled and said, "I am no longer the Prime Minister, Commander Yu, there's no need for that. Thank you for your help along the way."
The Imperial Commander, who looked very honest, looked disapproving upon hearing this: "His Majesty will surely understand. Prime Minister, you are a person we respect for your service to the country and its people!"
"uncle."
Bai Tuantuan came down and took out a lucky charm: "Uncle is giving this to you. May you have a safe journey."
"Thank you, Princess Changning."
The commander accepted it with a smile on his face.
Fortunately, the Emperor had prepared a boat for them. After Bai Han and the others got into bed, the Imperial Commander also left.
The ship is very large, with two decks, the second deck being private rest cabins.
Bai Tuantuan sat on the edge of the bed, watching the captain and crew chat, and asked, "Uncle Captain, how long will it take to get to that nameless island?"
"It'll take three days and three nights!" The captain said with a smile, looking at the white, chubby little creature. "What makes you want to go there for sightseeing?"
"That's right, I heard it's haunted! Little one, should we try to persuade your family?"
"But the uncles know there are ghosts there, how could they still dare to send us there?" Bai Tuantuan sat down and took out some snacks. "Uncles, let's eat together!"
Looking at the exquisite pastries, the captain and his men felt a little embarrassed, but Bai Tuantuan insisted on stuffing them into their hands.
The captain sighed and said, "It's all for survival. The money is more if we go there."
The crew members carried the snacks in their arms, clearly intending to take them home.
Bai Tuantuan said with a smile, "Once I get there, there won't be any bad people or ghosts! When you uncles visit the island in the future, I'll treat you to some snacks!"
"Our family has decided to stay there. Don't worry, uncles, it will definitely become a paradise in the future!"
The captains laughed at Bai Tuantuan's bright eyes, taking it as a joke.
"Such a strong eerie atmosphere," Tangshao couldn't help but say. "Bai Tuantuan, you need to be careful."
Iron Pot stood up and slowly said, "Tonight, it looks like we're in for a tough battle."
