Chapter 206 Bai Zongren Searches for Treasures Under Secret Order
"Grandma, I'll go meet them!"
"Hey! You girl, why can't you just be quiet for a while!"
"Madam, the eldest daughter is very lively. How can she stay idle?"
"Ah! Isn't it true that she's been working so hard on the battlefield, can she just go home and have a good rest?"
Li sighed and shook her head.
She loves her eldest granddaughter from the bottom of her heart.
He joined the army at a young age to win fame and honor for his family, which saved his family from punishment and earned a future for the Bai family.
In terms of martial arts and strategy, the men in the family are not as good as her.
It's a pity that she is divorced, so it's difficult for her to find a good family.
However, I heard that she has made great contributions now. When the emperor's reward comes, she will use her previous connections in the capital to see if she can find a suitable husband for her granddaughter.
Bai Li didn't know that she would be forced to get married by her family as soon as she came back from the battlefield.
In her plan, as long as her motherland was at peace, she would take over her Donghu County and then wait for the harvest.
As for her family, the men had military pay and could easily support the family, so she didn't have to worry about it anymore.
Even if there is a drought and her family runs out of food, she still has the food grown in the space. Now she has a shopping mall, so she can exchange what she needs with another world. It is very convenient.
So, she feels that the day of lying down and playing dirty is just around the corner, and she is about to realize her life as a fujoshi!
Unfortunately, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Then she was entangled in a series of things and couldn't even think about lying down and letting things go...
"Dad, what did you do?"
Not far from the door, they saw Bai Zongren and his two brothers coming back, and Bai Li shouted from afar.
As a family member and their leader, she had no idea what her father was going to do.
"Li'er, where are you going?"
Bai Zongren didn't give a direct answer. Bai Li knew from his expression that her father didn't want to tell her and wanted to fool her.
Bai Li put his hand on his father's shoulder, looking like a good brother.
"Dad, you guys aren't going to do that...behind my mom and aunt, are you?"
Bai Zongren was confused: "Which one?"
"Just go find the prostitutes in the brothels!"
"Bang!"
Bai Li didn't dodge and was hit hard.
"I told you to stop talking nonsense! You're a girl and you don't even know how to be shy. How will you find a husband in the future?"
Bai Zongren was furious and hit Bai Li a little too hard, and a glaring red mark immediately appeared on Bai Li's smooth forehead.
The stinging pain on her forehead made Bai Li's eyes widen and she looked at her father in disbelief.
When Bai Zongrui saw this, he couldn't help but speak of his elder brother with heartache.
"Brother, look at Li'er's forehead, it's all red and swollen. Why did you hit him so hard?"
"That's right, you ruined my beautiful forehead!"
The two brothers spoke one by one, and did not let Bai Zongren interrupt them at all.
Bai Zongren...
It’s a little scary to look at my daughter’s forehead, but the worst that can happen is just a little swelling. What’s the big deal?
You've gone through so much blood and gore on the battlefield, and you still care about this minor injury that's not even as bad as a fly bite?
Bai Li was just stunned at first and didn't think anything of it. But after hearing what his two uncles said, he suddenly felt his nose sore and his eyes reddened. The tears came and he couldn't control them, and they were about to fall.
Bai Zongren panicked. He opened his mouth to comfort his daughter but didn't know how. He reached out to hug her, only to find that his daughter had grown up. In ancient times, there was a difference between men and women, and even fathers and daughters rarely hugged each other like this.
He stretched out his hand and then retracted it, spinning in circles, not knowing what to do.
His daughter has been strong since she was young. The number of times she has cried since she was a child can be counted on five fingers.
Seeing her tearful face now, she must be in great pain, and she is crying because of her disappointment and sadness in him as a father. Thinking of this, he wanted to slap himself hard, but the important thing right now is how to comfort his daughter?
His mind was in a mess and his heart was in a knot.
"Good Li'er, my dear daughter, Daddy knows he was wrong and shouldn't have hit you. Please don't cry, okay?"
Bai Li's tears were hanging on her eyelashes. Suddenly, she saw her father coaxing her in a low and clumsy manner, and she couldn't help laughing.
With a "puff", a bubble of snot and a handful of tears spurted out, and unfortunately, they were all over my face...
Bai Zongze and Bai Zongrui didn't want to laugh at first, but they burst out laughing, holding their waists with both hands, and almost died of laughter!
Bai Li really wanted to die immediately, but reality told her that she couldn't.
"Ahh! Dad, you're the worst! You always bully me. I'm going to tell Mom!"
Bai Li covered her face with her hands, but felt a handful of snot. She quickly wiped it on her father's clothes, and ran away screaming in shame and anger.
Bai Zongren looked at the sticky dirt on his shoulder: "..."
Who is bullying whom?
"Hey, no... Li'er, wait for me, things are not what you think!"
Bai Zongren ignored his two brothers and ran after his daughter.
Tonight is the wedding night between him and his wife, and he must not let her ruin it.
A moment later, at the riverside at the village entrance.
"Dad, are you telling the truth?"
Bai Li looked at her father with a look of confirmation, hoping that her guess would be 100% confirmed.
"In fact, I have guessed many things a long time ago, but they have not been confirmed yet."
"Now that you mention it, it's almost right as I guessed."
On the road of exile, when the whole family was hungry, Bai Li saw her father receive a pigeon without telling anyone else.
Then her father stealthily took a small piece of paper from the pigeon's foot, read it quickly, folded a corner of the paper, stuffed it back into the bamboo tube on the pigeon's foot, and let it fly away.
Only Bai Li witnessed the entire process. At first, she thought her father was really having secret dealings with foreign countries and was a traitor. But later she discovered that the head of the yamen, Li Dong, was giving her family some leverage everywhere, and her father seemed to be secretly communicating with the emperor.
Only now did she know that her father had come to Qianxi under the pretext of exile on the emperor's secret orders to look for the treasure left by the late emperor for the Great Zhou.
"Dad, why can't we look for treasure openly? Why do we have to bear the charge of colluding with foreign enemies, have our property confiscated and be exiled?"
"Alas, the King of Wei was extremely ambitious and had already become a powerful figure. If he had gotten wind of this, he would have sent people to seize or rob the land in advance, and the Great Zhou would have fallen into his hands!"
"Dad, how much is the treasure?"
Bai Li was excited when he heard about wealth, and asked curiously.
"Li'er, this is the treasure left by our ancestor emperor for the Great Zhou as military supplies. You must not try to take it!"
Bai Li touched her face. Was her love of money so obvious?
"No, Dad, is there anyone who looks down on his daughter like that?
The treasure belongs to the country, so even if my daughter is a scoundrel, she wouldn't dare covet it, right?"
"You're right to think so. Our Bai family has been pioneers for the country and loyal to the emperor for generations. We can't do such a treasonous thing!"
"Dad, I used to think you were foolishly loyal. The emperor framed you and caused our family to be confiscated and exiled, yet you still defended him everywhere."
"At that time, Dad couldn't say anything, so he could only let you down."
