Chapter 36 Catch Him Off Guard
Mu had no choice but to take over the black noodles and wait until Aunt Bai freed up the pot before she could cook.
This pot was also bought with the silver Bai Li earned from hunting, otherwise they would have nothing.
She couldn't get used to eating black noodles, so Mu could only put her hopes on her husband and son.
Li Mingyue and her two sisters-in-law were the happiest to have a meal separately from Bai Zongshen's family.
Now they can cook and eat whatever they want without having to listen to the nagging of Mu's mother and daughter, who have been fed up with them for a long time.
During the journey, Bai Zongshen was complained by Mu's mother and daughter. He said it openly and secretly several times, but they endured it in order to prevent outsiders from laughing at the Bai family.
It’s good like this now. Everyone feels relieved and the air feels a little fresher!
Bai Zongshen is afraid of death, and his son Baihu is mediocre in martial arts and is used to taking shortcuts.
It's a good thing that this father and son didn't even turn against us when we encountered problems, not to mention helping us.
Bai Zongren's three brothers had a grudge against him and his son for a long time, but they hadn't made any serious mistakes yet, so they didn't punish them too much out of brotherly love.
Now, it would be even more inappropriate to indulge them!
Everyone continued to busy themselves with cleaning up. After washing his face, Bai Li squatted by the stove and fiddled with something with Aunt Bai.
It was not until we started eating that we realized that we would have not only porridge but also delicious pancakes.
There was plenty of food in Bai Li's space. She had emptied the warehouses and granaries of several wealthy families. There was so much food that she didn't have time to count it. A family of more than a dozen people could eat it all, and it would probably last for several years.
Even if there was plenty of food, she didn't want to give it to Bai Yue and the others.
A family of ungrateful people, they are picky about food even when they have it. They complain that white flour is not oily enough when given to them. Why don’t they just eat it like heaven!
Bai Yue smelled the aroma of noodles and her mouth started watering. The towel in her hand was twisted into a dough twist.
She felt a little regretful that she had just had a quarrel with Bai Li and the others. Otherwise, she would have eaten the browned pancake and drank a mouthful of the porridge. It would have tasted so good.
Bai Yue pounded her stomach a few times in embarrassment and annoyance, secretly cursing her stomach for not being more competitive. What good things hadn't she eaten?
What she had once considered a gross food was now a delicacy.
The Bai Li family went up to the stilt house to eat. Not long after they sat down, Bai Zongshen and his son came back.
Although the stilt house is one floor higher, the sounds from below can still be heard.
"Why are you back so soon?"
Mu asked in a flattering voice.
"Don't mention it. There are people guarding outside. We can't go out without the permission of the village chief."
"Then, we can only eat black noodles?"
"Are you going to starve to death if you don't eat?!"
Bai Zongshen looked up and yelled at the people upstairs. It was obvious that he did it on purpose.
Mu didn't dare to refute and hurriedly made a fire to cook.
Baihu walked into the house without saying a word. Bai Zongshen sat on a rock beside him and sulked. The axe and rope were taken back to the village chief. Prisoners were not allowed to use these tools at will.
A breeze blew by, and bursts of fragrance came over. He sniffed.
I looked up at the building above. Even though it was so far away, the aroma of the noodles went straight into my nostrils, making my stomach ache and my lungs ache. It was really unbearable!
His aunt-in-law is so cruel. Her own family eats white flour, but she can't swallow the fact that his family eats black flour that even dogs wouldn't eat?
Bai Yue was throwing things around in the house, while Bai Hu and Bai Zongshen sat there staring at each other, waiting. Mu made the stove full of thick smoke, and Bai Zongshen took out his anger on her.
"You lazy bitch can't even light a fire, what use do I have for you?"
Mu also got angry, threw away the firewood, put her hands on her hips and cursed.
"You're such a good fellow, Bai Zongshen! I don't mind you being an exiled prisoner. I rejected my family's offer of a divorce and followed you here to suffer. It's fine if you're not grateful, but you still dare to look down on me?"
After saying that, he was still not satisfied, so he kicked the pot on the stove over. With a "bang", the water in the pot spilled all over the floor, completely extinguishing the fire.
Now it’s good, the thick smoke is gone, but there is water in the stove and the fire can’t start!
“Pah!”
Bai Zongshen was so angry that he slapped Mu twice.
"Ahhh!! Bai Zongshen, how dare you hit me? I'll fight you!"
The couple wrestled with each other, while the White Tiger siblings held their hands and watched coldly.
They all blamed their mother for making such a fuss, and now no one had to eat.
Bai Li squatted at the door with a bowl in his hand and watched with great interest. He felt that tonight's meal was particularly delicious and he could have another bowl later.
The Bai family was in chaos, and in the military camp, Captain Mu sat below Nangong Min with an excited look on his face.
"My subordinates said it was all thanks to that little girl. I never expected that!"
He only now realized that the spy he had been tracking for so long had not been caught, but was actually caught by a young girl who had just arrived. She even got a confession out of him and pulled out a big fish. How could he not be excited?
So, he came here without even eating.
"I said, you don't have to eat, but I still need to eat!"
Nangong Min was also speechless. This Captain Mu relied on the fact that he had worked under him before and acted unruly.
"No, I also want to talk about that white girl. It's such a shame that such a person doesn't join the army!"
"Do I need you to tell me? The Major General has already said it, but he doesn't care at all!"
Shangguan Yu and Nangong Min don't follow those rules in private. After all, the three of them grew up together.
Talking pulled the corners of his mouth, causing him to gasp in pain.
He was still a little angry when he thought of Bai Li. Why did he treat him so cruelly and not give him any face in front of so many people, but kept being tolerant of Mu Linfeng and considering his face?
It’s so unfair!
Nangong Min glanced at him coldly.
Who told you to provoke others? You deserve it!
Mu Linfeng looked at the bruises on his face, rubbed his face, and held back his laughter.
"No, you still want to laugh at me? You are so heartless!"
"Are we still good buddies?"
"It's urgent, let's get down to business!"
Mu Linfeng changed the subject, he couldn't hold it in any longer if he continued talking about it.
"My men rode fast horses and stopped the escorting officers in the next town. They have taken him into custody and are interrogating him overnight."
"The leader of this group of spies is called Hu Erlai. He is a small spy leader specially trained by Laos. He has been hiding in the Great Zhou Kingdom for many years. He has married and had children in Shiya Village and has more than a dozen subordinates.
This time, we received a secret letter from the King of Wei that he was planning to rebel, and we all planned to return to Laos. Our stronghold here has been abandoned by them."
“It is not easy for Laos to develop from a country with a population of tens of thousands to a country with a population of over 200,000.
This time he dared to conspire with our King of Wei to rebel, and I don't believe that he didn't have the support of other countries behind him."
"I have already reported to the Emperor about the Prince of Wei raising private soldiers. I came here at the Emperor's instruction. Let's think of a way to catch the Prince of Wei off guard."
"Tell me quickly, what good ideas do you have?"
