After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man
Chapter 120: An Old Friend in the Dark
The first thing Bai Qingyun did when he got home was to fill the family granary with fresh rice.
All that was left was to divide up the purchases among the people. With the help of Yang Dashan and everyone working together, the task was quickly completed.
The cotton and soybeans in the space were planted together, and a batch of them had matured. Bai Qingyun also took out some and sold them to those whose houses collapsed.
The reason for selling it instead of giving it away is also because of the current situation. Bai Qingyun doesn't know what to do with the Bai family now?
The current situation is unclear, and the family's escape is a foregone conclusion.
Zhu Yu had indirectly told Bai Qingyun the escape route - Jiangzhou Prefecture.
So the next question is when to escape, should I escape with my family or... take the people from Dayang Village with me?
Now Bai Qingyun has not even thought of a reason to persuade his family to escape, and it will be even more difficult to escape with the people of Dayang Village.
This is not like doing business with others. Business is difficult to do, but with the current capabilities of the Bai family, even if they fail, the cost of trial and error can be borne, not to mention that Bai Qingyun's ideas are unlikely to fail.
Leading everyone to escape famine and leave their hometown, it would be fine if the young people knew the situation, but especially the elderly, their feelings for their hometown made it difficult for them to leave.
Even if I die, I will die on this land.
"Yun'er, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Qingyun has been sitting there in a daze since he came back. Bai's father knows Bai Qingyun's sorrow, but he has never experienced this before, so he doesn't know what to do just like Bai Qingyun.
"Who?"
Bai Qingyun was in deep thought, not asleep.
With her current abilities, it was easy for her to notice that there was an extra person breathing outside the Bai family's house.
The man's footsteps were so light that if you didn't listen carefully, you could hardly hear them. His breathing was also very light, so ordinary people could not hear it at all.
In the Bai family, only Bai Qingyun and Huo Huo knew about it.
"It seems that Miss Bai's martial arts have improved a lot!"
The person outside pushed the door open, his black clothes blending into the night, and he stepped into the gate of the Bai family with the cold wind, bringing with him the murderous aura that came with him.
When the Bai family saw the crowd, they felt that the other party had bad intentions. The men, led by Bai's father, looked for something handy in the room, while the women quickly blocked Bai Qingyun behind them.
It was obvious that the other party knew Bai Qingyun and was heading towards her.
Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, Bai Qingyun's words interrupted the scene: "Twelve, you scared my family!"
If you listen carefully, there is a hint of majesty in these words.
The Bai family couldn't understand it, but An Twelve could understand it.
Twelve quickly restrained his momentum, knelt down towards Bai Qingyun and said, "Twelve's action was unintentional, I hope Miss Bai will not blame me!"
Careless?
I'm afraid he still has some tentative intentions!
I want to know whether my true feelings towards the second princess have been turned into false feelings by the people of the aristocratic family in an invisible place!
But family has always been Bai Qingyun's bottom line.
The next second, Bai Qingyun took out the jade pendant that Wei Xi left for her, played with it in her hand, walked towards Twelve step by step, and stood in front of him for a long time, but did not ask anyone to stand up.
Twelve looked at the jade pendant in front of her and realized how reckless she was. However, as a secret guard, she would not bow her head easily. However, the beads of sweat on her forehead betrayed her.
At this moment, An Twelve suddenly remembered the Second Princess' instructions in Qujiang County: to protect Bai Qingyun as he would protect her!
You must be crazy to test the Bai family!
Seeing that the deterrent effect had been achieved, Bai Qingyun said, "Get up! Why did the Second Princess send you here?"
An Twelve looked around and then looked at Bai Qingyun.
"It's nothing, we're all family, but you can talk as you please."
The reason why Wei Xi sent twelve people here was either that Wei Xi was in danger and asked Bai Qingyun for help; or that Bai Qingyun was in danger and Wei Xi sent people here specifically to help.
Wei Xi is now in the military camp, surrounded by many experts. The strength of the Han family army cannot be underestimated. Even in the palace, it is not as safe as where Wei Xi is now.
So Twelve came not because of Wei Xi, but because of Bai Qingyun.
Combined with what we heard in the town today, Wei Xi's information channels can be said to be one of the best in Dazhao, and his sources of information are even more reliable than Zhu Yu's.
If this is the case, then Bai Qingyun has no reason to hide it from everyone.
On the contrary, instead of leaving it for later, it is better to explain it to everyone directly now, which can also give everyone time to digest it.
"Twelve has been ordered to escort Miss Bai and her family to Jiangzhou Prefecture!"
The secret guard's language is as concise as ever.
Due to his nature, Bai Qingyun had no choice but to guide him.
"We live well here, why should we go to Jiangzhou Prefecture?"
"This……"
Twelve was still a little worried, but after being shocked by Bai Qingyun just now, he finally chose to speak.
"Your Majesty is critically ill, and the fight for the throne has begun. News has come from the capital that the Bingzhou prefect has defected to the Second Prince and has raised a private army in the heart of Bingzhou, intending to ambush the Second Princess on the road she must take on her way back to the capital."
"Bingzhou is located on the only way from the border to the capital. There will definitely be a fierce battle here, and it is inevitable that there will be a great loss of lives. The Second Princess has specially sent a slave to escort Miss Bai away!"
The Bingzhou prefect was the one who was threatened by the Second Prince's faction and sent troops to encircle and suppress them when Wei Xi was seriously injured.
If he was forced to do so because of the threat he had received, then helping the Second Prince to raise a private army was done for the sake of following the dragon.
No wonder such a big move was made. Anyone who is close to the Bingzhou prefect would be involved. The entire Bingzhou officialdom, led by the prefect, is likely to have defected to the Second Prince's lineage.
As soon as they get the slightest hint of news, nearby merchants will flee with their entire businesses.
If we don’t escape, are we going to wait for the army to attack us?
Not only do you have to escape, you have to escape quickly. If it's too late, you might get dragged into an unnecessary fight.
"On my way here, I saw the government recruiting soldiers. All the men in my family were taken away. I didn't know when I arrived at Dayang Village."
Twelve's words confirmed Bai Qingyun's guess.
Bai Qingyun's heart was not much stirred, after all, he had experienced a lifetime. He was more shocked by the reason why he fled from famine in his previous life. It turned out that he was involved in a fight for the throne. It was not just the Bai family. Many families were broken up because of this war.
The other members of the Bai family had no memories of their past lives and were at a loss for a moment.
"Twelve Brothers, according to your opinion, what should we do?"
Grandpa Bai had experienced war and had fled famine. His rich experience made him the most rational person present except Bai Qingyun.
"The prefect of Jiangzhou is a descendant of the Han family. The princess has already sent a letter. When Miss Bai and her family arrive, someone will help everyone with the deed documents."
Then he looked at Bai Qingyun and said, "Princess, it would be best for Miss Bai and her family to go to a safe place. The Second Princess can also take care of them. The Twelve will escort Miss Bai all the way until she arrives at Jiangzhou Prefecture."
