Chapter 78 He can’t hold on any longer!
"It seems that if I don't tell you, you won't let me sleep, right?"
Under the flickering candlelight, Yuan Mo looked exactly like this. Bai Li suddenly smiled slyly and stretched out his hands to tickle her armpits.
“Ahahaha…”
"Do you want to hear more? Do you want to hear more?"
"Hahaha... No, haha! I don't want to think about it anymore!"
The noise was quite loud and there was a knock on the door.
"Ladies, are you all right?"
"Ah? It's okay, it's okay, we sisters are just joking!"
"It's getting late, ladies, please go to bed early. Matron said we might be able to set off tomorrow!"
"Oh, I know!"
After sending the maid away, the two stopped playing.
After blowing out the candles, the two lay in bed, unable to sleep.
After this interruption, Yuan Mo forgot about the previous topic.
When Bai Li saw her quiet down, he suddenly thought of Shangguan Ying and became curious.
"Shangguan Ying was targeting you before, why didn't you resist?"
"We spies have to endure whatever we encounter when we're on a mission. Shangguan Ying's situation is nothing to me. I can just bear it and it will pass.
If you encounter a vicious person, you have to endure all kinds of suffering and hardship, and if you can't make it, you may even lose your life."
"Then why do you want to do this? Are you forced to do this?"
"well!"
In the darkness, Yuan Mo sighed.
When Bai Li thought she didn't want to talk, she opened her mouth.
“When I was five years old, my parents were killed by the Simons. They were not able to avoid the Simons in time on the street, and the Simons stabbed my father without saying a word.
My mother rushed over to beg him for mercy, but he kicked her in the chest and she vomited blood on the spot..."
Yuan Mo paused for a moment, choking with sobs, and then continued, "If there hadn't been kind people holding me back, preventing me from passing, I would have died."
"After that man left, I was five years old and lost my parents. When I was worried about not having enough money to bury them, a prince who was passing by offered to pay for my parents' burial and asked me if I wanted to go with him so that I could find a chance to avenge my parents.
When I heard this, I agreed to go with him without hesitation.
Three days later, he sent someone to pick me up, and just like that, I entered the Nangong family's martial arts school."
"So, do you regret it?"
"Now that I finally have the chance to take revenge, what do I have to regret?"
"On the contrary, I am extremely grateful to the prince. If he hadn't brought me back to the martial arts school, I would have already turned into a pile of yellow dust. How could I have had the chance to avenge my parents?"
"We came to Simon this time. We hope not to attract the Emperor's attention, nor to attract the attention of King Jin. Otherwise, it will be difficult to escape."
Yuan Mo's words seemed to be both a reminder and a warning. She herself was only pretty, so she wasn't too worried.
Bai Li is extremely beautiful, so she has to be more careful. If she is seen by those men, she will definitely not be able to escape.
"Don't worry, I will protect myself."
Bai Li didn't take it seriously. She was only fifteen years old, which would not even be considered an adult in later generations.
The ancients were used to early maturity and early marriage, but she couldn't accept that.
If any foolish man dared to fancy her, she would make him regret ever being born as a human being.
The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Zhou Yu received a tip-off that Bai Li had suffered several waves of assassination attempts. He was very anxious and sighed that it was a pity to waste such a talented person. He couldn't help but regret letting her go to Simon even more.
A few days ago, the drawings and instructions for the harvester and thresher invented and manufactured by Bai Li were finally handed to him.
After reporting through various levels, the village chief of Shiya Village on the border of western Guizhou Province said that the harvester and thresher invented and manufactured by Bai Li had been tested and were very easy to use. One machine was equivalent to the work of ten people, greatly improving production speed and saving labor.
He has already asked people to start producing it, and hopes to promote it nationwide before the beginning of next spring and the summer harvest, so that it can be used in next year's summer harvest.
The south has plenty of rain in the summer, especially during the summer harvest. If the harvest is not done in time, a lot of rice will be soaked in water, resulting in a reduction in yield, with a loss of more than 20% every year.
If the harvest is completed before the summer floods, the South will have 20% to 30% more grain than in previous years, enough to feed a military camp for a year!
When Zhou Yu was overjoyed, he congratulated the Zhou Dynasty on having the Agricultural Department's magical artifact.
When he wanted the emperor to confer a title on the inventor and asked her to invent more easy-to-use and labor-saving tools, he immediately issued a secret decree, ordering Nangong Min to send more people to Simon immediately to ensure Bai Li's safety. If Bai Li suffered any losses, he would be held accountable.
When Nangong Min received the secret order, the vanguard representative He Daniu came to inquire about Bai Li's injury for the fifth time.
"...He Daniu, the Major General has already said that your Captain Bai is recuperating at the itinerant doctor's. She'll naturally return when she recovers. Are you guys done yet?"
Every time, it was Shangguan Yu who sent him away. Shangguan Yu was originally unhappy because Bai Li didn't want his sister to go with him, and now he couldn't hide his anger anymore. Naturally, he didn't have a good face when dealing with the people in the vanguard team.
He Daniu endured it again and again, thinking that Lieutenant General Shangguan was biased against them, but he had no evidence.
After thinking about it, he asked with a shameless face:
"Deputy General Shangguan, we just want to know where the itinerant doctor lives, whether Captain Bai has anyone to serve her there, and whether she's eating well..."
"You know, it's snowing now. If no one takes care of her, she'll be cold and hungry and have no one to help her.
I have a girl at home who can go..."
"That's enough! She still wants people to serve her. Does she think she's still a young lady?!"
He Daniu was kicked out. When he reached the door, before he could wipe the saliva off his head and face, he was surrounded.
"Well, did you find out?"
"Where should I live? See if it's close to my home. My mom and sister can go and take care of our eldest brother."
"No need for you, as long as I have the address, I will write a letter and ask my mother to arrange someone to go."
Li Dagu's family runs a small business and has a few servants. No matter how far or near, they can hire a carriage to take people to take care of the captain.
The last time he was training in the mountains, he encountered a big snake while urinating. The snake wrapped around his waist. If Captain Bai hadn't saved him, he would have died.
"You all stop arguing! I still can't get the answer!!"
He Daniu was also angry. Without Captain Bai, one could imagine the tremendous pressure he, the deputy captain, was under.
It would be fine if he were to follow the previous training methods, but now he is training according to Captain Bai’s method. He himself can’t even meet the standards, so how can he train others?
What about carrying a piece of wood and walking on the frozen river to reach the destination within the specified time?
Things like climbing a snowy mountain with weights, doing a thousand push-ups in the snow for the time it takes to stick an incense stick, etc., are those things something a human can accomplish?
But he couldn't say this, because someone could do it, which was infuriating enough.
It would be fine if the man who could do all this was a strong man, but he was Luo Yang, a thin and frail man!
Is there any justice in the world? !
How could these big, burly men feel about this?!
Therefore, he hoped more than anyone else that Captain Bai would get better soon and return to the barracks as soon as possible. He could hardly hold on any longer!
