Tang Li quickly helped Uncle Li up.
Uncle Li had another request. He was very embarrassed, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Xiaotang, can I go to Qinzhou City with you? If...if Ah Cheng can't come back, I will see him on Lanhua's behalf."
This may also be the last time.
Tang Li felt a pang of heartache and agreed, only asking Li Youcai to go back and pass on the message to help comfort Lanhuaer.
"Okay, then you should be careful when you go to Qinzhou City. I heard it's a bit chaotic there." Li Youcai said.
Tangli nodded.
Tang Li had finished packing when Bai Muyang's carriage arrived at the door of the house.
Tang Li took Uncle Li onto the carriage. Bai Muyang was already sitting in the carriage. The three of them then rode in the carriage towards Qinzhou City.
Qinzhou City was far away. They set out early in the morning and took the official road without stopping. They could not see any trace of Qinzhou City until it was almost dark.
In fact, Tang Li had long wanted to visit other places. After all, when he came to this era, he always wanted to see some things. He wanted to go to Qinghe County and Qinzhou City, but he didn't expect that the opportunity to come to Qinzhou City for the first time would be like this.
Along the way, she had something on her mind and had no time to appreciate the scenery. She just felt that the closer she got to Qinzhou City, the more desolate and colder it became.
Tangli wrapped himself in a cotton jacket.
Uncle Li had no clothes to wear, so Bai Muyang took out one of his cotton jackets and handed it to him.
Uncle Li was flattered: "No need! I'm used to it. This isn't cold!"
Uncle Li knew at first sight that Mr. Bai was no ordinary person, not from the same class as them. In the carriage, he had huddled in a corner, fearing that he would dirty the carriage, be disliked, and make Xiaotang feel awkward. Now, Mr. Bai was actually going to give him clothes, and he was shocked.
Tang Li said, "Uncle Li, just wear it since my brother gave it to you. My brother is a good man, so don't let him down."
Only then did Uncle Li take the clothes.
Bai Muyang looked at her with a gentle expression: "Good person?"
"Yes, my brother is handsome and has a good personality. He is a handsome young man in this troubled world." Tang Li said.
She meant all her words, and that was how Bai Muyang felt in her heart.
Bai Muyang couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
His bones look a bit cold, and when he smiles, he is particularly gentle.
The carriage rushed into Qinzhou City through the city gate.
There was a huge difference between Qinzhou City and Yaoshui Town. In Yaoshui Town, all the shops closed as soon as it got dark, and the streets were sparsely populated. Qinzhou City, however, was still bustling with activity. Every household had lights on, the shops were open, and the streets were bustling with people.
The carriage stopped directly in front of an inn.
The inn is called "Small Garden Spring Scenery". The owner is a woman named Hua, who is quite familiar with Bai Muyang.
"Shopkeeper Hua, four rooms." Bai Muyang said.
"Okay."
The clerk wanted to lead them up, but Hua, the shopkeeper, came forward and said, "I'll take you there."
Shopkeeper Hua led the four people upstairs and arranged four adjacent rooms for them.
Along the way, Shopkeeper Hua's eyes fell on Tang Li from time to time, which made her very confused.
However, the look was not malicious, so Tangli responded with a smile.
Tangli entered her room. Shopkeeper Hua had no strength, but leaned against the door, outlining her enchanting figure with some charm.
"Shopkeeper Hua..."
"Little sister, please don't be so formal. Call me Sister Hua." Madam Hua said with a smile.
"Sister Hua..."
"You call me so affectionately, let's talk." Hua Niangzi said, and walked in, closing the door carefully.
Tangli: “…”
Although she was speechless, she thought that Shopkeeper Hua was quite interesting.
Lady Hua came closer to Tangli: "Little sister..."
"My name is Tangli." Tangli said.
"Xiao Tangtang, tell your sister, what is your relationship with Mr. Bai?" Madame Hua's eyes sparkled with gossip.
"He is my elder brother." Tang Li said.
"Brother, do you know the person your brother likes?" asked Madam Hua.
"Does my elder brother have someone he likes?" Tang Li was surprised.
"Yes, he said she was a beautiful and independent girl." said Madam Hua.
At the beginning, when Bai Muyang stayed in her shop, she fell in love with Bai Muyang (his beauty) at first sight and started pursuing him madly. In the end, Bai Muyang rejected her and said that he had someone he liked.
When Bai Muyang mentioned the girl, he was particularly gentle, his eyes were shining, and it was obvious that he liked her.
Hua Niangzi also believed that it was not an excuse.
Hua Niangzi actually envied the girl for being able to receive such deep affection.
She was also curious about what the girl that Bai Muyang liked so much looked like.
Unfortunately, in the past, none of the people Bai Muyang brought with him could do anything.
This time, seeing that he was accompanied by a girl, Hua Niangzi certainly did not miss this opportunity.
She originally thought that Tangli was the girl Bai Muyang liked, so she was convinced, but who knew that she was actually his sister.
Tang Li didn't know much about Bai Muyang's private life, so he shook his head.
Maybe he wasn't in Yaoshui Town, but in Shangjing. His brother didn't say, and she was too embarrassed to ask.
Under normal circumstances, Tang Li would definitely be curious about this matter. But now, she was so preoccupied with Zhu Cheng's affairs that she had no time to think about anything else.
Since Shopkeeper Hua came to him on his own initiative, Tang Li naturally did not let her go and asked her some questions about Qinzhou City.
"Recently, able-bodied men have been conscripted everywhere. Almost all the able-bodied men in Qinzhou City have been conscripted. I don't know what's going on." said Madam Hua. She was also very confused.
"Qinzhou City is adjacent to the Xiongnu to the north. I wonder if there's any movement from the Xiongnu. We must not start a fight. If we do, life will be difficult for us civilians."
"By the way, it seems a general came a while ago, and then they started conscripting men."
"I don't know what the general looks like. I heard it from the boss next door."
Tang Li had found out enough about the place, and guessed that Hua Niang knew all about it, so he let her go.
It was only after Hua Niangzi walked out the door that she realized something was wrong.
Didn't I come here to gossip? Why didn't I get any information, but instead told that little girl a lot?
Tang Li was really tired, so after a quick wash, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The next day, she woke up to the noise outside. When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was getting light outside.
She had something on her mind, so of course she couldn't sleep any longer. She got up quickly, got dressed, and asked the waiter to bring her some hot water for washing up. After washing up, she went downstairs.
Downstairs, Bai Muyang, Uncle Li, and Bai Muyang's black-clad guard were all dressed neatly and waiting.
"Let's go and have breakfast first." Bai Muyang said.
The four of them had a simple breakfast at the restaurant next door.
While eating, Bai Muyang said, "We've asked around along the way and found out that there's no conscription in other places, only in Qinzhou. This means that this conscription is most likely for the defense of Qinzhou City. I know the garrison commander there, and we'll go ask him later."
Tang Li nodded. She didn't expect Bai Muyang to be so observant.
If it is really as Bai Muyang analyzed, then it is a blessing in disguise.
