Chapter 208 Let’s go out and fight
After reading the secret letter, Tianbao's face looked dull.
The exile land has been peaceful on the surface in recent years, but it is not peaceful in secret.
In addition to Darong frequently sending people to provoke, other countries also showed signs of activities towards the exile area.
Just like the law of survival that Uncle Beard said, if they were a little weaker, not even a bone would be left.
"Godfather, I heard that there is a group of people from Guiyi Pavilion who are active in the Chishui area all year round?" Bai Yu squatted beside the guqin, his hands folded on the table, raising his eyebrows and grinning.
Bai Xiaofeng glared at him, "You want to fight back?"
"Tsk, how can you say that? This is called reciprocity. My place of exile is also a country of etiquette!" Bai Yu argued confidently, not forgetting to seek approval, "Tianbao, don't you agree?"
Incense was wafting from the Boshan stove. Tian Bao poked at the smoke rising from the stove lid. "It's a double return. There's no need to talk about etiquette with the enemy. Talk about fists."
Bai Yu, "..."
Tian Bao seemed not to notice the twitching of his mouth. A hint of mischief flashed across her drooping eyelashes as she added, "It just so happens that there's nothing more to learn from Godfather. Let's go out and fight."
A vein popped up on Bai Xiaofeng's forehead.
He wants to settle the score with Du Buqin, as his bad habit of speaking sharp words has been passed on to Tianbao!
It would be fine if the little girl didn't speak now, but as soon as she opened her mouth she choked people to death. It's all the bad taste brought about by Du Buwei!
To prevent the little girl from continuing to speak, Bai Xiaofeng pulled out another file from under the low table with a sullen face. "This is the relevant information record of Guiyi Pavilion, including the list of the main internal personnel and their branches. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Take it and get out."
Bai Yu immediately took the file, smiled and pulled Tian Bao up, scolding, "Look at you, you've pissed off your godfather again. Godfather, we'll be leaving first. You can continue to burn incense and play the zither to calm your mind."
After saying that, the two senior sisters and brothers looked at each other, raised their eyebrows, turned around and jumped out of the window on the third floor that occupied half of the wall.
A loud clanging sound immediately rang out from the back room, and the man's voice was furious, "Two little bastards, you're causing trouble in my kitchen again!!"
The only response was the young man's unbridled laughter.
When the two little bastards got on the carriage, they each held a huge food box in their arms, which was filled with delicious food.
"Godfather is such a hypocrite. He clearly prepared so many delicious foods for us, but he refused to bring them out and let us find them on our own." After putting the food box into the carriage, Bai Yu sat outside and pulled the reins to drive the horse. "Senior Sister, it's still early. Let's go find a place to play?"
"Where should we go? Liangjifang? Twelve Piers? Before we even set foot on the ground, everyone around us ran away. It's like this every time." Tianbao was bored.
There is no place for them to play in the inner and outer cities.
No one wants to play with them.
Otherwise, Grandpa Du wouldn't be so bored that he could only take them to the mountains and fields to catch snakes.
Fortunately, there were a lot of those cold and boneless things in her space, otherwise, Tu Beishan would not be able to find even a piece of snake skin now.
Bai Yu smiled, having already thought about it, "Isn't there a border town?"
There was an immediate loud reply from behind, "Go! Go!"
The boy's smile grew even wider, but he didn't dare to make a sound, his shoulders shaking.
Well, after so many years, he has fully understood his senior sister's temper.
At the entrance to the border town of the exile area, the city wall looks old and weathered in the sunlight.
The words "Border Town" above the city gate have been worn away by time and are almost unrecognizable.
The Bai Mansion's carriage went straight in without anyone stopping it.
Once you cross a city gate, it's like two completely different worlds.
The sunshine and summer breeze in the border town seem much softer and quieter than those outside the city walls.
At this moment after noon, people can still be seen walking in the streets and alleys of the border town in June, and children can be seen playing and frolicking at the entrances of various alleys.
Bai Yu drove to the largest teahouse in the city and stopped. Immediately, a waiter from the restaurant came forward to help park the carriage.
As you step into the teahouse lobby, you are overwhelmed by the noise.
At noon in summer, there is always a crowd of people drinking tea and chatting in teahouses.
The boy and girl chose a seat in the corner where there were few people, sat down, and ordered a pot of tea and some delicious snacks.
Before the refreshments were served, I heard some unexpected gossip.
"The Yanmen Pass army returned to the capital to be conferred titles. The scene was incredibly lively. Didn't you see it? On the day the army arrived in the capital, the people lined the streets of the imperial city to welcome them! It was a sea of people! The shouts and yells reached the sky!"
"I heard there's a young general among those who came back to be crowned. He joined the army at the age of twelve as a private, was promoted to a lieutenant at the age of fourteen, and to a captain at the age of fifteen. That same year, he was promoted to deputy lieutenant. Now, at nearly seventeen, he's been appointed a general by imperial decree for his numerous outstanding achievements!"
"Over the years, he has fought countless battles, both large and small, and has repeatedly come up with ingenious strategies to win. Even charging into battle with a spear is unmatched! This skill is no less than that of Young General Yuan back then!"
"Dai Viet has produced another talented young general. This is a blessing for the people of Dai Viet. I just hope he doesn't look like..."
The rest of the words were suppressed and not spoken.
The people listening in the hall all understood, and some sighed silently.
I just hope that I won’t end up like the Yuan family again.
Bai Yu exchanged a glance with Tian Bao and called over the waiter. "Our army has returned to the capital to receive an imperial title, and a young and brave general has emerged. This is great news! I'm delighted. Tonight, everyone having tea in the hall will have their table counted, and I'll pay for it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room immediately cheered and expressed their gratitude.
Bai Yu stood up, bowed to everyone, and sat down. "I had some free time today to come out for tea with my sister. I didn't expect to hear such exciting news. I just heard you all speak highly of that young general. I've been studying so hard and don't know much. I wonder what this young general's name is?"
The young man was good-looking and dressed elegantly. His every move and gesture had a style that was different from that of ordinary people. In addition, since he had generously paid the bill, the tea drinkers naturally told him everything they knew.
The tea drinker at the next table laughed and said, "Young Master, that's a good question. Someone in my family is seeking a job in Beijing, and I happened to hear him mention this young general. His surname is Wei, and his given name is Li. He has countless achievements, but three of them are the most famous."
In the 32nd year of the reign of Emperor Jin Sheng, enemies invaded the southwestern border of Yanxia Pass. General Wei volunteered to lead 500 infantrymen, killed 8,000 enemies, and secured the border by defeating the enemy with a smaller force.
In the thirty-third year of the reign of Emperor Jin, at a battle at Yuhu Mountain outside the Great Wall, the barbarians assembled 20,000 troops for a surprise attack, intending to break through our dynasty's defenses. The young general shot the enemy's leader with a single shot from a hundred paces, disrupting their formation. In that battle, we captured 6,000 enemies, and our army lost only 300 men.
In the winter of the same year, the Hu Man army once again crossed the border and set up camp to provoke. General Wei, standing alone on horseback, challenged the Hu Man general and killed him on horseback!
After hearing the tea drinker's detailed account, there was a burst of applause from the surrounding area.
"The Major General is mighty!"
"Brave and resourceful, a brave general!"
“This is a blessing for Dai Viet!”
The snacks ordered by Bai Yu came up, and Tianbao drank the tea quietly amid the cheers.
Seeing this, Bai Yu leaned towards her and whispered, "That Wei Li kid lied about his age. He's clearly the same age as me."
"If you don't make false reports, you may not be able to hear the news."
