Chapter 87 Water and Fire Cannot Compatible
Open the gate from the inside, let the sled in and then close it.
Snowflakes fluttered down outside the door, soon covering up the traces on the ground.
The neighbors who were soundly sleeping had no idea that someone had come to the yard next door in the middle of the night.
Bai Erlang entered the house and warmed himself in the warm charcoal fire, only then did he regain a sense of reality from his soaring in the clouds.
"This yard..."
Knowing that he was full of questions, Bai Li waited until he calmed down before telling him about her family situation and the purpose of her coming to Simon, and also told him that her current identity was Yu Ji's third sister.
After all, this matter could not be hidden from her second brother, so in order to get him to cooperate in covering up, she had no choice but to tell him the truth.
Bai Erlang was stunned for a long time after hearing this. First, he was shocked by the great changes in his family, and then his younger sister actually entered the military camp for him, just to plan to rescue him.
His little sister is really...
He didn't know whether to blame her for coming to Simon without caring about her own safety, or blame her for being too courageous, which led to her current situation where she could not back down. If she was not careful, both the brother and sister would die in Simon.
"well……"
In the end, Bai Erlang could only sigh and look at his younger sister guiltily.
"It's all because of my useless second brother that I've gotten my younger sister into trouble!"
"Second brother, look at what you are saying. You protected me when we were little, now it's my turn to protect you!"
"Little sister..."
Bai Erlang felt his eyes swelling and something seemed to be stuck in his throat. He could only say two words and couldn't continue.
The atmosphere was a bit sentimental. Bai Li got up to help him make the bed so that he could have a good sleep first.
Although my second brother didn't say anything, I could tell from the stiff movements of his shoulders and legs that his injuries were serious. He had to be taken back to Da Zhou to see a doctor as soon as possible.
Bai Erlang thought he couldn't sleep, but as soon as he lay down, he fell into a deep sleep soon after.
Princess Asana only discovered the next morning that Bai Erlang was missing and the people left behind were dead. She had no way to vent her anger on them.
After smashing everything in the room, he frantically sent people out to search.
"He's still injured and can't run far, and the carriage can't be driven in the heavy snow. They must still be in Kashgar County. Dig three feet deep to find them!"
"promise!"
Groups of people were sent out, and according to the princess's instructions, they searched the streets, cellars of houses, and even the homes of farmers in the countryside in Kashgar County, but still found nothing.
At the same time, the warehouse in Kashgar County was robbed and the entire warehouse was emptied. Later, several wealthy officials came to report that their home warehouses were also robbed on the same night, and all the gold, silver and other valuables were emptied, not even a grain of food was left.
Kashgar County was the private property bestowed upon Asana by the late emperor, and she had to cheer herself up to deal with it.
After an investigation, it was discovered that the thieves had almost emptied the entire Kashgar County, especially the food.
Except for the little food stored in residents' homes, the county's grain warehouses were empty.
Asana didn't even have time to get angry. Her top priority was to buy food from other places to maintain normal life in the county.
Things happened one after another at the same time, and she was so busy that she had to put the pursuit of Bai Erlang aside.
And this delay lasted for two days.
On the third day, Bai Li, under the secret manipulation of Yu Ji, followed a Laotian merchant caravan to return to Da Zhou.
Of course, before leaving, Bai Li sneaked into Simon's palace and looted everything.
This time she only emptied the national treasury, and did not touch the private vaults in the empress's palace.
Just this has made Simon depressed for many years. Let's see how Simon can attack the Great Zhou.
While Asamu and Adab were thoroughly searching the entire palace, Bai Li had already used the excuse that his face was disfigured by Simon and he urgently needed to return to Da Zhou for treatment. After obtaining permission from His Majesty Simon, he openly entered the palace, said goodbye to Yu Ji, and left with the caravan.
At this time, the caravan left Simon and was naturally searched by soldiers. It passed through several checkpoints before leaving the capital.
Therefore, no one suspected her of the theft from the national treasury and Bai Li's departure.
Adab stood next to Asam, his face full of gloom, and his sharp eyes swept over the heads of all the officials one by one.
And Assam, the king of a country, was like a foil, huddled aside like a quail.
He couldn't bear Adab's anger. At this moment, he most wanted someone to come out and let Adab vent his anger to relieve his pressure.
I don’t know if his prayer worked or if someone was really brave enough.
A minor official stepped forward tremblingly and said, "Your Majesty, King Ada, the treasury has been robbed of a huge sum. Moving it would be quite a commotion. If we strictly investigate the convoys leaving the city, we will surely find something."
Adab glanced coldly at Asam, who shuddered and quickly perked up to reply.
"We've ordered a strict inspection. Every city gate is under strict inspection day and night. So far, only a dozen people from the Laotian merchant caravan have left the city, and they underwent three rounds of thorough searches before leaving."
"I heard that Yu Ji's sister also left with the caravan?"
"She's just a little girl. On the way to Simon, she got pockmarks on her face. Doctor Simon was helpless, so she went back to Da Zhou for treatment."
Asam glanced at Adab timidly, then added, "He does have a lot of pockmarks. I saw it myself. It's pretty awful."
Adab thought about it and realized that she was just a little girl and it was unlikely that she would cause any big waves, so he changed the subject.
The caravan had five carriages plus Bai Li's carriage, a total of six carriages and fourteen people, and they marched out of the city gate in a mighty manner. At the gate, they met Princess Asana's people. Asana's people asked them a few questions, lifted the curtain to take a look, and then let them go.
Bai Li, with her face full of pockmarks, allowed Princess Asana to look at her. At the same time, she was also looking at the woman who almost became her second sister-in-law.
She has deep eyes, a high nose and a small mouth. She looks good, a true beauty from the Western Regions. But I don't know what her temperament and personality are like.
But looking at her with her head held high and her nostrils pointed upwards, her condescending look is really unpleasant.
Their eyes met in a flash, and then they looked away.
Bai Li snorted in her heart. Fortunately, her second brother did not marry her, otherwise she and her brother would definitely be at odds with each other.
Asana suddenly looked back and saw a bearded man who had just flashed by looked a little familiar. Before she could figure out what was going on, the convoy had already gone far away.
"Princess, let's hurry into the city, otherwise it will be hard to find Bai Langjun if he hides."
Urged by the maid, Asana's fleeting inspiration disappeared in an instant, replaced by anger and unwillingness.
She hated Bai Erlang's ruthlessness and lack of conscience. If she hadn't rescued him, he would have been tortured to death by her second brother.
Is it really as her second brother said, that there is no good person in the Great Zhou?
No, she was unwilling.
She would not let go of the man she had finally fallen in love with so easily.
Even if he doesn't like her, she has to get him.
"Hurry into the city and quietly sneak into the residential areas to conduct a thorough investigation."
"promise."
