Chapter 457 Surrender? Choosing Sides?
After finishing their shift that day, Li San Niang and Qiu Xiang got into the carriage, and Shi Jiu deftly pulled on the reins and drove the carriage towards Pingkangfang.
However, halfway there, they also met Lily of the Valley, who was carrying Xiao Ping'an.
Along the way, Li San Niang spent the time playing with Ling Lan and Xiao Ping An.
Upon arriving at the back door of Shihualou, Qi Zhidie, who had been waiting there, greeted them with a lantern.
As soon as they made contact, Li San Niang heard Qi Zhi Die whisper to her, "Mr. Bu Ke has already arrived and is waiting inside."
"We can talk about seeing the women later when we have more time."
Li San Niang was somewhat surprised, because normally, whenever she wanted to see Mr. Bu Ke, she had to wait until he was available.
Therefore, generally speaking, Li San Niang would only go to see Mr. Bu Ke after examining the women at Shi Hua Lou.
This time, it turns out that Mr. Impossible has already arrived!
"It seems that the matter of time travelers is really taken seriously."
Or perhaps Mr. Impossible is currently in charge of this matter?
Li San Niang patted Qi Zhi Die's hand and followed her into the building.
Once inside, sure enough, Mr. Nobody, dressed in all white, was already waiting in the dim light.
Qi Zhidie understood that the two must have something to say, and it must be a secret, otherwise Mr. Bu Ke wouldn't be waiting for Li San Niang.
Therefore, after watching Li San Niang enter the house, Qi Zhi Die casually closed the door and left.
Nineteen and Qiuxiang followed Li Sanniang into the house. After exchanging greetings with Mr. Bu Ke, the three of them found seats and sat down.
While Li San Niang was pondering how to say these words in a way that would show she only wanted to be an honest doctor, Mr. Bu Ke spoke first.
"Third Sister, what brings us together this time?"
Li San Niang first looked at Qiu Xiang and Shi Jiu, and then felt that the two of them were already close to her. Moreover, Mr. Bu Ke should know what she wanted to say to him. Since she did not ask the two of them to leave, it meant that she could say it in front of them.
Therefore, Li San Niang dropped a bombshell: "I come from another time and space."
Qiu Xiang and Shi Jiu didn't understand what Li San Niang meant. They looked at each other and, though they didn't speak, their eyes widened. They didn't understand the meaning behind Li San Niang's words, but they didn't dare to speak rashly.
"Oh? How so?"
Upon hearing Mr. Bu Ke's question, Li San Niang knew that he must know about the time travelers.
After she started speaking, Li San Niang opened up and explained to the three of them that she had traveled from another time and space, mainly explaining to Mr. Bu Ke.
Mr. Bu Ke was a clever man, and after a few words of explanation from Li San Niang, he understood the meaning behind her words.
However, Mr. Ke maintained a calm and composed demeanor.
But in truth, Mr. Ke was deeply shaken. "So, that's what the sage meant when he looked at me?"
Is this a clear indication that even saints come from another world?
"I know this is absurd, you can think of it as a pipe dream."
It's like I had a dream where I lived a lifetime in another world, and when I woke up, I also gained the knowledge I had learned in that world.
This interpretation is also acceptable.
After Li San Niang said that, Mr. Bu Ke thought about the deeds of so many people recorded in the Records of Strange People, and he had a better understanding of the situation.
"So, why is Third Sister telling me such a big secret?"
Li Sanniang smiled bitterly, "This secret really can't be kept hidden any longer."
I presume you are aware that I went to the meeting place at Laoxianglou.
From beginning to end, all I've ever wanted is to be a doctor in a peaceful and stable way.
But the current situation no longer allows me to do that. I can only find you and tell you the truth so that we can unite our forces to stop them and allow me to continue working as a doctor in peace.”
Then, Li Sanniang recounted the important events that had occurred in the fellow villagers' building, and also blatantly pointed out Ding Mingxuan and his group's delusions.
"Ding Mingxuan, or rather the Ding family, there must be someone behind the Ding family, and that person must be someone in a high position of power."
Otherwise, Ding Mingxuan wouldn't have dared to tell us those things directly, and he wouldn't have been able to openly declare his intention to rebel in front of everyone.
I am just a junior doctor, and all I have is the ability to treat illnesses and save lives. I am not capable in other areas.
In that case, I'll have to ask you for help, sir.
No problem, I was also brought into the Bad Guys group by Mr., so I guess you can call me one of our own, right?
"Sir, I've said everything I should and shouldn't have said. The rest is up to you."
Li San Niang's straightforward words made Mr. Bu Ke, who was still shocked by the large number of strange people in the Tang Dynasty and the fact that there was a big fish controlling them behind the scenes, laugh out loud in surprise.
"Third Sister, you do know your own limitations."
However, I do understand Third Sister's intention.
Those who wish to disrupt this peaceful and prosperous era, those who aspire to rise above others, will have to see if they have the ability to do so.
Li Sanniang leaned back in her chair with a sigh of relief, feeling as if all her worries and troubles of the past few days had been lifted off her shoulders, and she could finally put them to rest.
"What happens to them? I can't control that. Anyway, I've already told the master. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."
People as short as me naturally have their own work to do.
"By the way, it's been quite some time now, have you found that sick ox, sir?"
Li San Niang casually brought up the smallpox vaccine incident she had mentioned when she was making grand promises to Mr. Bu Ke.
Mr. Bu Ke watched as Li San Niang reached for and ate the snacks on the table, a stark contrast to her timid demeanor when she first entered the room. He thought to himself that Li San Niang was truly adept at finding someone to share the burden, but this was actually a good thing for the Tang Dynasty.
Hearing Li San Niang mention the sick ox again, Mr. Bu Ke replied, "We found it. We're just doing what you said, checking whether those milking girls are really not afraid of getting smallpox."
Li San Niang nodded, understanding that such matters naturally required careful verification.
I understand what Third Sister means.
I know that Third Sister is afraid that they will cause trouble, but Third Sister, don't worry, the Tang Dynasty is not a place where they can do whatever they want.
As for the future, if they still want to see Third Sister, she can go if she wants, and if she doesn't, she can simply ignore them.
"I am on good terms with Xing Yu and Chang Siyuan. We all want to be good citizens of the Tang Dynasty."
I will likely continue to associate with them in the future; I've explained this to my husband beforehand.
Seeing that Mr. Ke nodded, Li San Niang continued, "Sir, my life is of great importance. I would be grateful if you could secretly send more skilled men to protect me."
I am absolutely worthy of your protection, sir; there is still much here that can be used.
Li San Niang stretched out her finger, pointed to her head, and said this.
Li San Niang thought, "Staying alive is the most important thing."
Living, and living well, is more important than anything else.
