Chapter 125 The Bai Family Army is Back
"This is impossible. There can't be a knife sharper than mine. Where did you get this knife? Tell me quickly!"
Bai Li raised his eyebrows. This man was so strange. He didn't even care about his own safety and only cared about the knife. It seemed that he was a guy who was addicted to knives.
However, this shows that they are not ordinary people at all, and are most likely spies sent by Laos.
"Golden Retriever, tie them up and drag them along with us!"
Golden Retrievers act like humans and execute immediately.
It picked up the vines that King Kong had pulled back, tied up the two injured and unable to fight people like dumplings, and dragged them away like dead dogs.
Bai Li decided that since Zhao Yuntian had no time to worry about them now, he might as well take this opportunity to let them out.
Anyway, the New Year is over now and there is no more snow. The three little ones are no longer afraid of the cold, so it would be better to let them come out and return to nature.
Returning to the place where the three people were just now, Bai Li woke them up roughly and asked Jinmao to tie them up as well. Bai Li pulled three people, and the rest were dragged by Jinmao and his mother. Black Hawk supervised them in mid-air. A strange team consisting of several people, two beasts and one bird walked towards Shiya Village in Dazhou.
After returning to the military camp, she handed the five Laotians over to Nangong Min and left them alone.
At this time, Nangong Min brought her to a group of people. Bai Li looked at them and then at Nangong Min, not knowing what was going on.
"Yes, Miss, I'm your Uncle Huanan. I held you in my arms when you were a child!"
"Ah? You are..."
"They are the Bai family army, a total of 500 people, scattered across various military camps. The emperor ordered them to be gathered and sent here to be handed over to you."
Nangong Min explained quietly on the side.
"The Emperor is indeed trustworthy, so I cannot betray his trust."
"Uncle Huanan, Earl Jian'an, Brother Xinglin..."
Bai Li remembered their names and called them one by one, as happy as a child.
These soldiers of the Bai family had followed her father through thick and thin, and some of them even had their fathers and grandfathers follow the Bai family ancestors to the battlefield, so they were more like family to the Bai family than relatives.
"Hello, Miss!"
The five hundred soldiers of the Bai family army shouted in unison, their voices filled with surprise and excitement, reaching the sky and deafening.
Bai Li hurriedly bowed and said, "You are all my elders, so please call me by my name. Calling me Miss again is unworthy."
"Then we call you, Li'er?"
Ji Huanan knew that although her family had been rehabilitated, General Bai's military position had not been restored, so it was indeed inappropriate to call her Miss.
"Why!"
Bai Li responded crisply, but her voice was trembling.
"My dad and the others will be back soon. They will definitely be happy to see you then."
"General Bai...is he okay?"
Ji Huanan realized that something was wrong after he said this, because General Bai was now a commoner.
"My dad is fine, nothing's wrong."
Bai Liming understood what he meant, and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
But it’s okay, she is confident that she will be able to restore her father’s general status soon.
By then, her father's generalship was not given by the emperor, but she earned it for her father with her military merits!
As dusk fell, those who had been out for training in the military camp returned one after another. Torches were lit in every corner of the camp, and the flames shone on the faces of every soldier who was sweating profusely during training. Although they looked tired, there was light in their eyes, smiles on their lips, and they were full of confidence in the road ahead.
Because Captain Bai said this morning that the prey they hunted today would be a snack for them!
The Bai family's men took people to the mountains for training today, and they were not on the same mountain as Bai Li and the others.
Bai Li was searching for her father and brother among the incoming crowd when suddenly several people hurried in carrying someone and shouted, "Make way! Make way!"
Bai Li recognized that these were some of the new recruits, and it seemed that they were the team led by Bai Wulang.
"What happened? Who was hurt?"
Unfortunately, several people hurried past and no one answered her.
She was about to follow when someone grabbed her arm.
"Don't worry, Li'er. One of the new recruits accidentally fell while chasing a wild boar and broke his leg. He needs to rest for a while and he'll be fine."
Bai Li turned around and saw that it was her elder brother, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where's Dad?"
"He's in the back. The wild boar we hunted today was so big that it took several people to carry it back. He's watching them."
Bai Dalang wanted to say something, but his sister rushed to the door before he could finish speaking, and he didn't even hear her jumping and shouting behind her.
Bai Li pushed through the crowd and finally saw her father.
"Dad! Dad!"
From a distance, she waved and shouted.
"Li'er, why are you here?"
"Dad, come with me!"
Bai Li didn't answer, but pulled her father's arm and left.
Bai Zongren thought something had happened, raised his neck and shouted, "Carry the wild boar to the kitchen and follow my instructions," then hurriedly followed her footsteps.
When he stood in front of the Bai family army, he rubbed his eyes several times before he dared to believe what he saw.
In the flickering light of the torches, several familiar faces engraved in his mind appeared before him one by one.
"Huanan, Jian'an, Xinglin, Ashui..."
Bai Zongren shouted cautiously with a trembling voice, fearing that this was a dream and that the dream would be shattered if he spoke any louder.
"General Bai! It's great that I can still see you in this life!"
Ji Huanan excitedly stepped forward and punched Bai Zongren on the shoulder. Bai Zongren punched him back, and the two of them hugged each other with grins and laughter.
Bai Li raised his head and sniffed, then wiped his sore eyes with his hand.
She couldn't stand such sentimental scenes because her tears couldn't flow.
Since her father was dismissed from the army and exiled, he has touched the dagger given to him by Uncle Huanan in his arms countless times, remaining silent and sighing.
She knew that he was worried that his old subordinates would be suppressed and bullied elsewhere.
If it weren't for the emperor's order, no one would dare to point fingers at the Bai family army, which had made many military achievements and made the enemy tremble in fear. He felt guilty for harming them.
Bai Zongren met with the Bai family army one by one before he noticed Nangong Min standing beside him.
"Major General, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you!"
"It's okay. General Bai is a man of character, and all the Bai family soldiers are men of blood. Your genuine feelings are truly admirable."
"So what arrangements do they make when they come here?"
"The Emperor's decree says they are all under your command."
"But my military position..."
"Don't you have a gold medal? Who are you afraid of disobeying?"
Nangong Min glanced at the little woman who was becoming more and more demanding. She hadn't made any military achievements yet, so he couldn't just give her a military title for nothing, right?
"What are you thinking? I'm just afraid that if someone questions me and I show them my gold medal, they'll say I'm using chicken feathers as a token of authority!"
Nangong Min touched his nose, feeling that these words were so familiar. Could it be that he said that?
"General Bai, the emperor ordered us to obey your daughter. This is..."
Bai Zongren knew what Ji Huanan meant. They didn't know Li'er's strength, so it was normal for them to raise doubts.
"Well, ahem, I think the emperor must have a deep meaning for doing this. You will know it later."
He couldn't brag about how capable his daughter was in front of his old subordinates, but he couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth. Unfortunately, the light was not good enough, so Ji Huanan and the others didn't see it.
