Chapter 203 Peace
"Awake?" Duhuo said in a light voice, with a hint of self-blame, "It was my fault for disturbing Mr. Bai due to my rough hands and feet."
Bai Ye shook his head: "Ajie has been very tired along the way. It is natural for her to want to relax for a while."
Then he asked again: "Who did you meet? Was it Bai Ye?"
Duhuo nodded: "Master Shen insisted on bringing Miss to drink together, and there was no way to stop him!"
"You don't know how miserable Shen Xueyan is. He is alone in a foreign land and can't take care of his family." Bai Ye said slowly, "I have also wondered why the Shen family took that joke seriously."
"Later, I discovered that Shen Xueyan was not joking about this. It was the Shen family's integrity that would not tolerate the slightest bit of bad behavior. The family tradition tells them that they should repay a favor if they have been helped, rather than refusing to repay a favor or repaying a favor with hatred."
Duhuo put Yunzhu on the bed. She was mumbling in her sleep, but it was unclear what she was saying. From her babbling, one could tell that she was impatient, unhappy, or annoyed about something.
"Have her get up early tomorrow so we can plan the deployment of our troops. I will go to the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet the day after tomorrow. Don't tell her." Bai Ye said calmly, "I will go to the palace to find Nan Wu. If I don't come out, you can start the war without hesitation."
"In all things, we must prioritize protecting the future female ruler of Nanzhao. We must carefully identify and not allow anyone to take advantage of the opportunity."
Duhuo nodded seriously and listened carefully to Bai Ye's words, which sounded like he was entrusting his son to someone else. He had a bad feeling in his heart, but he hesitated for only a moment before Bai Ye had already walked out.
It was not convenient for her to chase after him and ask him questions, so she helped Yun Zhuan to wash up and then went to bed.
The next morning, Bai Ye and others talked with everyone in the front hall. Yingdu was indeed an old capital. Every brick and tile, and all the scenery they saw were full of rich historical and cultural heritage.
In the morning, they had porridge and some side dishes. Yun Zhuan liked to eat noodles, old-fashioned wontons, and some fried dough sticks, soy milk and tofu pudding. This was a habit that Yun Zhuan developed in Yuan State.
After many days of running around, it was not worn away, but became more exaggerated.
The tofu pudding here is not sweet like the one in Yuan Dynasty. Instead, it is made with soy sauce and other seasonings, making it a spicy looking bowl.
Although Yun Zhuan couldn't adapt to the food, he had Nanzhao blood in his veins, so he could still adapt.
She couldn't eat more fried dough sticks after just two bites. Wontons were her favorite, with shrimp skin, seaweed, a little bit of pork fat and salt, and a spoonful of wonton soup. The wontons inside were filled with the right amount of pure meat filling and cooked thoroughly. The minced meat was then mashed with a spoon and then sprinkled with a large spoonful on top of each bowl of wontons. Two or three crispy cabbages were then boiled, and this old-fashioned wonton was considered a good bowl.
Having traveled to so many places, the signature dishes are all different, but the ones that remain unchanged are the delicious snacks on the stalls.
Yun Zhuan especially likes to drink soup. He can finish twelve wontons and still drink half a bowl of soup.
Bai Ye understood Yun Zhuan's character clearly. He was not the cunning person who was raised in the Yuan Kingdom and insisted on this or that. Instead, he would eat whatever the climate and soil allowed.
Occasionally, allergies occur, but even medical treatment is not considered to be of much concern.
Everyone was having dinner today. Yun Zhuan got drunk yesterday and got up late now. She realized that everyone was waiting for her. She felt guilty and blamed herself.
Why did Shen Xueyan persuade me to drink as soon as I arrived yesterday?
Don’t you know how much you can drink?
Being able to persuade others is their ability, being unable to drink is your own shortcoming.
"Zhuan'an is late, I hope you can forgive me." Yun Zhuan looked up and saw that almost all the people present were his confidants.
I'm afraid Bai Ye was talking about something before I arrived.
Su Nan, Mei Feng, Yun Fushang, Yu Qing, etc.
Yun Zhuan touched the tip of his nose lightly and sat down angrily.
Bai Ye said, "Since we are here, we are no strangers. There is no need to be restrained. Just eat and listen carefully to what we are talking about!"
"Everyone, please count the troops you have brought here. Try not to show your true colors and hide them well. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. If everything goes well, we can reunite with our families every Mid-Autumn Festival in the future!"
Bai Ye's voice was soft, but it had an inspiring power that could inspire people.
All the people of Nanzhao are looking forward to the moment of overthrowing the puppet politics. As a member of Yun Zhuan's team, they can naturally see this grand moment in advance.
Yun Ju'an was so absorbed in eating that she didn't care about these things.
Since Bai Ye has spoken, it is only natural that she should not be allowed to interfere in this matter.
She ate her wontons by herself, occasionally picking up some other snacks, and her ears were never idle, listening carefully to Bai Ye's arrangements.
The plan is very comprehensive, and all we need to do now is to sit tight.
When Yun Zhuan heard that Bai Ye was going to enter the palace, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
When Bai Ye mentioned the Yundanfengqin, Yun Zhuan naturally thought that Bai Ye must have his own way to get out of this situation safely, so she didn't need to worry about it.
Finally, she drank two sips of the meat soup obediently and then put down her chopsticks.
Then he stood up, and the sunlight immediately swayed into the flower hall. The shadows of the trees were swaying. Bai Ye looked at Yun Zhuan's sleepy look and could not help but relax his facial expression, making him look like a serious tutor.
It was very different from the previous look of exhaustion.
Yun Ju'an felt sleepy after eating. When she was in Yuan Kingdom, she had to maintain the appearance of a noble lady, but now it seems that she doesn't need to care about other people's eyes and comments.
Duhuo even moved the rocking chair directly under the shade of the tree so that Yun Ju'an could have a good rest.
It is hard to say whether Yun Zhuan's complexion has improved since arriving in Nanzhao, but her body, which had been ill, cannot be recovered. Occasionally, when the weather is bad, her face also seems gloomy.
Not angry.
Yun Ju was basking in the sun while Du Huo was cutting fruit for her.
Quietly sitting there, Yun Zhuan felt as if his life had just passed by so simply.
"How is Shen Xueyan?" Yun Zhuan asked casually, "Did she fall into the river?"
After saying this, Yun Zhuan himself seemed to be amused.
Duhuo also smiled:
"Miss, you are used to joking. A person like Master Shen is naturally prominent wherever he goes. He must have servants following him. How could he fall into the river when he got drunk as you said?"
Yun Zhuan tilted his head:
"Yes, the moon and moonlight he wanted are all on the ground and in his heart. How could he be as foolish as me and pick up the moon in the lake to show off to the world?"
"He probably wouldn't be that stupid, that foolish!"
