Chapter 29 Being tricked
Bai Li: Hmm???
Bai Zongren stopped and asked, "Major General Nangong, do you know my daughter?"
"More than just knowing her, your daughter is my savior!"
Receiving Bai Li's death glare, Nangong Min hurriedly tried to make amends, "Yes... three years ago, by chance, she saved me."
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, almost forgetting what the female devil said, that he must never tell anyone about what happened that night at Lion Rock, otherwise she would not forgive him.
That was close!
Almost broke my promise!
"Oh~"
Bai Zongren looked at his daughter suspiciously. Bai Li gave him a pure and harmless smile. Bai Zongren pulled the corner of his mouth and looked at Nangong Min again.
Nangong Min looked calm and natural, and didn't seem to be lying.
"My daughter is a naughty girl. If I have offended you, please forgive me, Major General Nangong."
"You're welcome. I have something to discuss with your daughter. General Bai, please come with me!"
The father and daughter were led into the largest tent in the middle with a question mark on their heads and sat down. Nangong Min ordered someone to serve tea before starting to talk about the matter.
"It's like this. By chance, I discovered that Miss Bai has good skills. I want to invite her to join the army to serve the country. I don't think General Bai would object, right?"
Bai Li: ???
Her father, Bai Zongren, was a general doing well, killing enemies and guarding the border, but he was inexplicably stripped of his official position, had to hand in his military command, and had the Bai Family Army disbanded. Now he wants his daughter to come out of retirement?
What kind of magical operation is this?
Bai Zongren looked constipated and was obviously not feeling well.
He ended up like this because his achievements surpassed his master's, and he even asked his daughter to join the army?
What on earth is the emperor thinking?
The father and daughter shook their heads firmly, their meaning was very straightforward.
Nangong Min was a little embarrassed.
He was asked to fill the hole dug by his cousin the emperor.
The task is too difficult, he can't complete it!
"I know you have complaints against the Emperor, but the Emperor has his own difficulties..."
"Major General Nangong, please be careful with your words. I dare not show any disrespect to the Emperor. It's just that I am stupid and unworthy of the favor of Major General Nangong and the Emperor..."
No matter how Nangong Min tried to persuade him, Bai Zongren had only two words to say: No.
In addition, Bai Li shook her head like a rattle.
She also didn't want to join the military camp and fight to the death to defend her country, only to have her entire clan exterminated and her head beheaded with just one order from the emperor.
Whoever wants to do it can do it. She won’t do something that’s thankless and could get her head kicked off in a matter of minutes.
Nangong Min was speechless as he watched the father and daughter turn around and leave in a leisurely manner.
What can I do if they don’t agree?
What a pity. If I had known earlier, I should have asked her about that hidden weapon and asked her to provide a design so that he could find someone to make it. If it could be used on the battlefield...
"Young Master, are you letting her go now?"
"Let her go. A forced melon is not sweet."
"Why not let them suffer a little, and then extend an olive branch to her when they can't bear it anymore..."
Since his goal was not achieved, Nangong Min didn't want to listen anymore and waved his hand before he finished speaking.
"It's up to you to decide!"
It was this sentence that caused Nangong to suffer a lot and regret it for a long time. This is a story for later.
Nangong Min's follower, Shangguan Yu, left with satisfaction after receiving the promise.
He knew what to do. He dared to reject the young master's kindness and see how hard her bones were in this bitter cold place!
He doesn't even need to show up. Just give the order and someone will take care of it.
Bai Li and Bai Zongren were taken to the village they had just passed and stopped in an overgrown area.
In the grass that was taller than a person's head, there was a stilt house that looked very old and rickety.
He pointed and said, "This is your residence. Clean up and move in today. Gather at the village entrance at 1:00 AM tomorrow to start the harvest."
The person who spoke was the leader of Mulong Village, also the village chief, named Mulangde.
Bai Li stared at him with a scrutinizing look, "You didn't do this on purpose, did you?"
Ma Dehai, a corrupt official, was allocated a large courtyard with north-south access and four brand new stilt houses. Why was her place only allocated a pile of weeds and a building frame?
Mulangde looked at the whole family with complicated eyes, really afraid that if so many people went up, the wooden building would immediately fall apart.
"Little girl, please don't talk nonsense. The allocation of housing is arranged by the higher-ups. I am just showing you the way."
Forget it, in order to avoid any loss of life, he should find someone to fix it!
Bai Li was about to explode when he heard this, but was stopped by Bai Zongren.
"Forget it, as long as there is a place, we can fix it ourselves!"
My daughter is young after all, and she couldn't even notice that someone was obviously tripping her up.
He originally had some good feelings towards Nangong Min, thinking that he came from a noble family with noble character and upright temperament. Who knew that he would behave like such a despicable person?
Bai Zongren immediately asked his son to follow Mulangde to get some chisels, axes, saws and other tools. He took his two younger brothers to the mountain to cut trees, while his nephews stayed with the women and cleared the surrounding weeds.
After the order was given, everyone took action immediately.
The male family members were used to obeying orders, and Bai Zongren's words were like military orders, and no one disobeyed.
The female members of the family were all led by Bai Zongren, so naturally everyone did whatever he said.
Bai Li stood there angrily. She was upset and wanted to find someone to vent her anger on.
If she knew that bastard was doing such evil on purpose, he would be in trouble!
"Ahhh!"
It’s strange, why do I feel a chill on my back?
Nangong Min tightened his clothes, picked up the freshly brewed tea and took a sip while it was hot.
The Bai family didn't even have time to drink a sip of water and immediately got busy.
We have to finish the house and settle down before dark, otherwise we won’t have time to do it early tomorrow morning.
Mrs. Li cheered cheerfully, "I think this place is great. From now on, our whole family will live together and never be separated again!"
Several military wives understood this and immediately agreed: "Yes, as long as the family is together, it's worth the hard work."
The women took off their outer prison uniforms, tied up their hair, rolled up their sleeves and went to pull weeds or fetch water.
Even Bai Yu Bai Liu Lang helped pick up the stones.
Bai Yue was dragged by her mother to pull weeds reluctantly, yelling, "Why doesn't Bai Li work? Does she still think she's the eldest daughter of the general's mansion?"
Mu covered her mouth with her hand and said, "My little ancestor, others can make money by hunting, can you? Compare with them!"
"I can't, but my dad and brother can. They just don't have the chance to get out!"
Li Mingyue glanced at them coldly. "Why are you still covering your mouth? Why not just give her a loud speaker?"
"Yes, being able to get out is a skill. If they have the ability to get out, then that's fine, as long as they don't get anyone else in trouble!"
Bai Yue choked, angrily pulled Mu's hand away, and vented her anger on the weeds.
Bai Li raised his eyebrows with a smug look on his face, which made Bai Yue even angrier!
Mulangde and Bai Dalang came over with tools, followed by a few young men.
Bai Zongren saw that the tools were quite complete, and it seemed that the village chief was not trying to make things difficult for them.
