Chapter 67 The Opportunity Has Come
"Yes, but Captain Mu, please wait a moment. I'll go get some water for our captain to wash his hands first."
After Luo Yang finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Captain Mu to respond.
Captain Mu was dumbfounded. "No, what is cleansing hands?"
Instructor Xia looked speechless, and Captain Mu became angry just by looking at him.
"Coach Xia, now all the soldiers are learning Kung Fu from Bai Li. I think you should give your position as coach to her!"
In the past, Coach Xia would have been furious when he heard this.
But now he is fearless.
"Bai Li said she didn't want to be a coach."
Commander Mu: ...
This Master Xia has great kung fu skills but unfortunately he has a dumb mouth.
However, it was because of this that he took a fancy to him that he recruited him and brought him into the military camp as a coach.
"Hey, please make way."
Luo Yang came back carrying a basin of water, shouting loudly as he walked to clear the way.
If it were in the past, no one would have paid attention to him, but it’s different now.
"Oh, it's Luo Yang. Be careful not to spill the water, or Captain Bai will be unhappy."
"Quick, quick, quick, all of you make way, let Luo Yang bring the water over, Captain Bai is waiting for it!"
Oh, wow, this posture and this pomp are even more noble than those of the nobles in the palace.
Captain Mu had no choice but to wait for Luo Yang to bring in the water and serve the living ancestor well before bringing the person out.
Captain Mu finally brought the person to Nangong Min and then he withdrew with his mission accomplished.
Shangguan Yu tactfully retreated, and then Nangong Min spoke.
"Now is an opportunity, but..."
"As long as there is an opportunity, nothing else matters."
Only after Bai Li expressed his opinion did Nangong Min make up his mind.
"Our spies in Simon have reported that the one in the Simon Palace wants to take her lost sister into the palace, and you are the perfect age."
Bai Li understood that she was asked to replace someone else.
This is good. You can go there openly and honestly without having to fight your way out violently.
Seeing Bai Li's cheerful look, Nangong Min couldn't bear to discourage him but still spoke.
"First of all, she has two younger sisters, one sixteen and one fifteen. The initial decision is to have you and Shangguan Ying go.
Secondly, that person in the palace is also one of ours. Once her identity is exposed, none of you will be able to escape responsibility."
"Isn't it that when we prosper together, we all prosper, and when we suffer together, we all suffer?"
"But, can you please change people? I don't want to partner with Shangguan Ying."
Thinking of that ugly thing, who was doing shady and dirty things under the name of being upright, she was afraid that she would hold her back.
"this……"
In fact, being a spy is dangerous but it is also an opportunity to make merit, so Shangguan Yu suggested his sister.
If it were before, Nangong Min would definitely think that Shangguan Ying was the most suitable candidate because of her outstanding skills and strong character.
But now...
She is so jealous, selfish and narrow-minded that she is not fit to take on such an important responsibility.
"But except for her..."
"I remember there was a female soldier around her who had a bad relationship with her and was often targeted by her in private. Let's pick her!"
Bai Li didn't know the name of the female soldier. She just saw her being punished several times to kneel outside Shangguan Ying's barracks to wash her bedding and clothes.
You know, in the military camp, except for the major general who has the right to order soldiers to do private work, everyone else is equal.
It’s not difficult to find out. Just send someone to ask.
The military camp is large, and there are many trivial matters in private. No one has reported it to Nangong Min, so he can't care so much.
"When do we leave?"
"Why don't you think about it and find a reason to leave the barracks first!"
"Sudden death?"
"Executed for violating military discipline?"
"Kidnap a major general?"
Namgoong Min: ...
The more he listened, the darker his face became. If she continued, she might even talk about rebelling!
Bai Li: I haven’t told you yet, how did you know?
"If none of these work, think of something else."
"time."
"We'll leave in three days. Go home today and take care of some family matters."
"Don't worry about the replacement. I'll arrange it."
"Then my soldiers..."
"I told you, leave it to me."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home in three days."
Bai Li finally found an opportunity to save people. As for the rest, she would take it one step at a time. She had to make some preparations in these three days.
When Bai Li returned home, she only called her father into the room to talk about what happened, without even telling her grandmother or mother.
Bai Zongren thought of the inhuman torture his second son suffered in his nightmare, and it would be a lie to say he was not heartbroken.
But that's what being a soldier is like. From the moment you step into the barracks, you are ready to fight and shed blood on the battlefield.
Now that he is captured, if he cannot save himself he will die in a foreign country.
It is impossible for the imperial court to send troops to fight against an unshakable big country just to save a small general like him. The Great Zhou does not have the ability to do so and will not take the risk.
Now when he heard his fifteen-year-old daughter say she wanted to save her second brother, he felt happy but also ashamed.
As a father, he could not protect his children. As a general of the Great Zhou, he could not guard the border for the country and could not intimidate foreign countries. He was truly ashamed.
"Father, it's because the Emperor didn't know people well. He allowed you, the useful and loyal ministers, to be wrongfully convicted, and allowed those villains to succeed in power. The decline of the Great Zhou is not our fault."
"Li'er, I don't want to hear this a second time."
Bai Li had never seen her father speak to her in such a harsh tone, and she immediately dared not say anything.
"Li'er, your journey may be dangerous, so be careful!"
"Dad, I know. From now on, the family depends on you."
Bai Zongren felt strange being entrusted to his family by his daughter.
It seems like the two people's identities have been switched.
"You should think about how your mother will deal with you if she finds out!"
"That's your business, what does it have to do with me?"
"You're telling me this not because you have a good relationship with Dad, but because you want me to take the blame?"
Bai Li shrugged, looking like he deserved a beating because he just realized it.
Bai Zongren sighed and thought, fine, let this unruly female devil go and attack the arrogant Simon.
Simon, you'd better keep me alive, otherwise...
After Bai Li came back, Zhou Yu was no longer as clingy to her as before.
When turning around, Bai Li accidentally met her affectionate gaze towards her elder brother.
She and Big Brother... ?
Bai Li suddenly understood.
That’s good, I don’t have to stick to her anymore.
Given her looks and personality, it would be nice to be her sister-in-law.
My family doesn't have any concept of family background, so it's fine to marry an ordinary peasant girl.
Three days passed in a flash.
On the last day of the appointment, Namgoong Min came.
Shangguan Yu was not with him, only two soldiers, a man and a woman.
"Bai Li, you were injured in the line of duty. The Emperor is merciful and has granted you permission to return to the capital to recuperate."
Bai Li: Oh, so this is the reason I gave her.
It's a bit far-fetched, but better than nothing.
There was a horse-drawn carriage parked at the entrance of the village. A female soldier accompanied her in the carriage, while Luo Yang was driving.
