Chapter 386

The situation was urgent and there was no room for delay, Xiao Rongyan lit the tissue paper in his hand, stood up and ordered Wang Jiuzhou to be called over.

His eyes were deep and calm, and he ordered while changing his clothes: "Let someone prepare the horse, and send a team of people to follow me to Dawei immediately. Zhang Yan stays here and has a good rest today, and then you will be in charge of contacting the Bai family with the mine. , after you have finished explaining, immediately rush to Dawei."

Wang Jiuzhou repeatedly said yes, took the cloak and put it on Xiao Rongyan: "Master, be careful when you go back to Dawei."

It was the first time that Xiao Rongyan could not follow the King of Wei in Kyushu, so he was inevitably worried, but he knew that the matter of the mine also needs to be taken care of by a safe person, so he had to stay here for his master.

Putting on the cloak, Xiao Rongyan turned his head to look at Wang Jiuzhou, pursed his lips and said, "If Miss Bai asks, just say that I have something urgent to go back to Dawei."

Wang Jiuzhou nodded: "I understand, master, don't worry."

Bai Qingyan couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning, full of thoughts.

It will take a lot of effort to hide from the eyes and ears of mining, and she plans to forge weapons on the spot, which is not a waste of effort.

But, who should this matter be entrusted to?

She can trust Shen Qingzhu, but Qingzhu is too young to hold the scene, and she is not a capable person in this area. When mother, aunt and the others come back, the safety of the Baifu cannot be separated from Lu Ping, a member of the clan... She only dares to entrust them with the matter of military training on the surface, and she can't trust others.

Steward Hao has been the housekeeper of the Bai family for generations, and when he goes to that stop, people will know that he is a member of most of the Bai family and it is not suitable.

Wei Zhong is a capable person, but Bai Qingyan never dare to use it with confidence.

The one available right now is Uncle Liu Wang'an, a loyal servant of the Bai family, but Uncle Liu is getting old...

When people are ready to use, they will know their shortcomings. This is the reason why Bai Qingyan asked Lu Ping to start cultivating available people after returning to Shuoyang.

Even though she was still in Bai's house, she already felt that she was short of manpower, and she didn't know what it was like to be around Jintong and Ah Jue.

Let Uncle Liu take over this matter first, and then replace it with a suitable person in the future.

When the important matter was settled, Bai Qingyan turned over and closed her eyes... Hearing the pattering rain outside the window lattice, Xiao Rongyan's sharp-edged facial features inexplicably appeared in front of her eyes, and her heart beat as violently as the moment her lips touched stand up.

Chuntao, who was on guard at night, heard Bai Qingyan tossing and turning like pancakes, and asked in a low voice, "Miss, do you accept the bed?"

"What time is it?" Bai Qingyan said with a hoarse voice.

"Back to Miss, it's just Yinshi." After Chuntao finished her reply, she asked in a low voice, "Maidservant pour a cup of hot tea for Miss?"

Bai Qingyan couldn't sleep, so she got up.

Chuntao heard the movement, opened the curtains, saw Bai Qingyan sitting up, and hurriedly used gilt copper hooks to lift up the curtains on both sides.

The Ball Cloud Courtyard is big and spacious, and Bai Qingyan in the West Room had confessed that it was too secluded to use as a practice room.

Chun Tao came over with hot tea, and tied an iron sandbag all over Bai Qingyan's body. She stood aside and watched their girl practice the red-tasseled gun with distressed eyes.

At dawn, Bai Qingyan was sweating profusely from practicing. She put the silver spear aside. She practiced so hard today that her whole body was sore and limp. With trembling hands, she untied the iron sandbag and said to Chuntao: "The weight is not enough!" , plus!"

Holding the iron sandbag that can squeeze out water, Chuntao hesitated to speak, her eyes were red, she couldn't carry this iron sandbag by herself, and she wanted to add more weight?

"The maidservant has asked the maidservant to boil hot water. The young lady had breakfast after taking a bath, so she should lie on the couch for a while. Shall we go back to Dadu in the afternoon?" Chuntao said softly.

"Let's just lean on the carriage for a while."

The rain that had been raining all night has stopped, the bluestone floor has fallen leaves all over the place, and the big trees are still dripping with drops of water.

The Bai family's chariot and horse team, together with more than a hundred guards sent by the prince, stood on the side of the horse and waited neatly outside the gate of the ancestral house. They headed towards the outside of Shuoyang City in a mighty way.

The local prefect and county magistrate greeted Bai Qingyan outside the city gate when Bai Qingyan returned to Shuoyang.

Magistrate Zhou felt that the eunuch's news was too well-informed, so he came earlier than him, and hurriedly walked up to the oilcloth shed supported by bamboo poles with a smile, and saluted: "It has just rained, and the outside of the city is full of mud and damp, my lord. He even came, the princess came back after going to Dadu for a few days, and the lord also worked hard to see him off."

The prefect sat in the shed in a peaceful manner and drank tea: "Magistrate Zhou has a lot of cases to be judged, and he has to write a memorial for the crime, so I come here in a leisurely way."

County magistrate Zhou was embarrassed, but he didn't hide it in front of the eunuch, he just said: "Don't dare to lie to your lord, the lower official is counting on the princess and the prince Quan Yu who is next to the prince to intercede in front of the prince for the lower official. A small gift."

The prefect shook his head and put down his teacup: "I advise you to excuse me, and to handle the princess's errands well, and you will have a bright future in the future."

Although the prefect didn't say why, but County Magistrate Zhou knew that his superior had been an official so far. Although he flattered and flattered him, he had never tripped anyone. He was skeptical, and finally decided not to present gifts for a while.

Seeing the horse team headed by Shen Qingzhu slowly coming out of the city gate, the prefect and Mr. Zhou got up and walked towards the city gate.

Seeing the two adults coming forward, Bai Jinzhi raised his hand to signal the team to stop, and the two adults hurriedly stepped forward to salute Bai Qingyan's carriage: "Respectfully send off the princess, the county lord."

Bai Qingyan lifted the curtain of the carriage with fingers as thin as jade, and looked at the eunuch and county magistrate Zhou: "Master Zhou, the case of the Bai clan will be settled."

"The princess is polite, you should be punished! I was coerced before and never pleaded for the people to punish the people. I am really ashamed!" County magistrate Zhou hurriedly said, his voice choked up, as if he was extremely guilty.

"Knowing your mistakes can make things better." Bai Qingyan said with a half-smile, then looked at the prefect, "The prefect seems to be very relaxed."

The prefect had a respectful attitude: "It's not considered idle, but I'm really hoping that I can serve the princess a little bit."

Bai Qingyan looked at the respectful prefect and said with a smile: "In the future, if you live in Shuoyang for a long time, there will be opportunities to work hard for the prefect."

After finishing speaking, Bai Qingyan put down the curtain.

The wheels of the carriage turned slowly, and the mighty team moved again.

The prefect and County Magistrate Zhou stood aside, bowing down to salute Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi respectfully. Seeing Quan Yu's carriage passing by, County Magistrate Zhou was willing to bend his back and bow down to the ground and shouted: "Congratulations!" Send the whole fisherman off."

The prefect raised his eyebrows, looked at County Magistrate Zhou, who was bowing to the ground, and couldn't get up until the convoy had finished, with a half-smile, turned around and left first.
