Southern Tang Kingdom, Zhongwu Marquis Mansion
Everyone in the mansion knelt on the ground. After the eunuch who announced the imperial edict finished reading it, everyone, led by General Beida, stood up.
"Congratulations to General Bei Da, congratulations to General Bei Xiao."
The steward stepped forward and handed a large purse to the eunuch Li who was announcing the decree. Eunuch Li took the silver with a smile.
"I have other matters to attend to in the palace, so I won't stay long."
"Goodbye, Eunuch Li."
The housekeeper escorted the group out of the house on behalf of the master.
In the hall, General Beida sat in the main seat, with Beilin sitting below him.
"Lin'er, when you go to suppress the rebellious army, remember not to rush. Lin Xiong is cunning and extremely cautious. Several generals have been sent there before but were unable to capture him. You must be cautious when you go."
"I understand, father, don't worry."
General Beida looked at Beilin with satisfaction. He believed that his son would surpass him after a few more years of experience.
A pair of children, both talented in literature and martial arts, but unfortunately...
When General Beida thought of his youngest daughter, his heart ached.
When Beilin saw his father like this, he knew that he was thinking of his little sister again.
"Father, I always feel that my younger sister's death is not that simple. Why don't you let me investigate?" Bei Lin asked in a deep voice.
Bei's father waved his hand, stopping him from continuing. "My little sister's death was not unexpected. Don't overthink it. And don't bother Tang Jingyu anymore."
"When I see him, I think of Yutang. It's hard for me not to be angry." Beilin became very angry when he mentioned him.
"Alright, alright. Stay home and don't go anywhere for the next few days. Prepare for a three-day trip."
After the father and son separated, Bei Wenbai went to the ancestral hall.
He stood in front of his wife's tablet, with unremitting sadness in his eyes.
"Yonglan, I'm sorry. I failed to take good care of Tangtang. I thought I could provide Tangtang with a solid backer by working hard outside, but she ended up dying in the secluded backyard under unclear circumstances. Tangtang loved martial arts so much back then. If I hadn't stopped her then, perhaps she wouldn't have died so easily."
"It was because I, as her father, failed to protect her that she died in such an unclear manner. But don't worry, once I find out who is behind this, I will not let them off."
A cold light flashed across Bei Wenbai's eyes.
Bei Wenbai looked up in the direction of the Forbidden City, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Bei Wenbai walked out of the ancestral hall. A moment later, a slender figure emerged from the corner. He stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall, looking in the direction Bei Wenbai had left, a dark light glimmering in his eyes.
Sure enough, there was something wrong with Tangtang’s death.
He said that with his father's intelligence, how could he not notice it.
Beilin clenched his hands unconsciously.
He thought that Tang Jingyu's grandson seemed to have some inside story.
Who was it, who took Tangtang's life?
No matter who it is, even if he is a noble, he will definitely kill him.
Three days later, Bei Lin led the Bei family army out of Chang'an and headed northwest.
——
At the same time, Bei Yutang and his group arrived in Jizhou.
Jizhou was very close to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, requiring only two days' driving time to reach it. Along the way, it became apparent that the closer a prefecture was to the capital, the more prosperous it was. The local people were also wealthier than those in more remote areas.
"First, find an inn and stay there for two days."
Now Xue Qian has gone from being a genius doctor who knew nothing to a menial servant who can do everything.
This is a qualitative transformation.
