After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

So that they will not be unprepared if they encounter any unexpected situations in the future.

Wen Baizhi agreed with Si Jiu the next day to go find Qi He.

"When are you coming back."

This was the umpteenth time Si Jiu had asked her this.

It was obvious that Wen Baizhi had already patiently explained this to him many times before.

But she knew that Si Jiu was a very insecure child, so she didn't mind explaining it to him again.

"Do you know why I went to find Qi He so early in the morning? It was because I wanted to come back at noon to have lunch with you. I went to find him because I was worried that something might happen between Chi Du and Da Cheng. We should be prepared in advance to avoid being passive in front of Qi Yan'an again."

Si Jiu put his arms around Wen Baizhi's waist from behind: "Can I go with you?"

Wen Baizhi raised her hand and patted his head: "Did you forget that you have already made an appointment with someone today, and you have to think of countermeasures for the future in advance. Be good, I will definitely come back to have lunch with you at noon after I finish my work."

Si Jiu hummed twice with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Just like a kitten acting coquettishly.

"I can ask them to come back in the afternoon. I just want to go with you." Si Jiu was not giving up and added this sentence.

After hearing this, Wen Baizhi was no longer satisfied with just patting him with her hand. She turned around and pinched his cheek.

"Si Zijin, you must be a man of your word. Today is the first time you meet the members of the Chamber of Commerce as the person in charge since you came to Yunzhou. You can't be absent at will. Even if you break your promise once or twice, they will definitely complain about it in their hearts. Try not to do that, okay?"

Si Jiu's cheeks were pinched, and his face was a little puffy.

At this moment, Ren Wen Baizhi was so obedient that she didn't say anything. She just nodded obediently to show that she agreed.

Seeing that he had a good attitude, Wen Baizhi let go of his hand.

"When you go back to talk to them, pay attention to your body. You had stomachache for half the night last night, and you didn't eat much this morning. Plus, it rains a lot in Yunzhou now, so your back can't stand sitting for a long time. You can sit for a while and then get up and walk around, okay?"

Wen Baizhi was still worried about Si Jiu leaving her sight, even for the whole morning.

It was just that the last time she had a conflict with Si Jiu, she went to the escort agency and didn’t come back. That was an accident, and she also wanted Si Jiu to learn to change.

Apart from that time, she was never at ease and wished she could turn Si Jiu into a small person and keep him by her side.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'm leaving now. You must wait for me at home."

Wen Baizhi smiled and instructed Si Jiu.

It was clearly words he had heard countless times, but Si Jiu was still very moved when he heard them.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

No matter how long or late it is, he will wait.

Wen Baizhi immediately set off for the escort agency.

In fact, it’s not just Si Jiu who has always felt that something unexpected might happen in the future.

She herself was a little uneasy.

Especially when facing someone as crazy and stubborn as Qi Yan'an.

She felt even more uneasy.

It might be because Qi Yan'an had forcibly detained her in the palace and tortured Si Jiu for half a month.

The shadow of that time still remains in her heart today.

She traveled thousands of miles to Yunzhou, trying to find the people her father and brother left behind, just to have room to resist when facing Qi Yan'an's threat again in the future.

Even if it could only buy her and Si Jiu some time to leave, that would be enough.

Therefore, she must establish a good relationship with Qi He and strive to use Qi He's strength when she needs help in the future.

Even though she felt that this was unfair to Qi He.

After all, it is not easy for Qi He and his friends to survive the previous war and have a new life of their own now.

But she had no other choice.

Under the imperial power, no one can compete with it.

This is an indisputable fact.

With such complicated feelings, Wen Baizhi took a carriage to the escort agency where Qi He was.

Qi He must have informed the people outside beforehand, so when Wen Baizhi came in, there was no obstruction and she had a smooth journey.

When I arrived outside Qi He's study, he was looking at the escort agency's account book inside.

Seeing Wen Baizhi standing outside the study door, Qi He hurriedly put down the account book and welcomed her in.

"Miss, how come you have time to come here today?"

As he spoke, he offered to pour her some tea.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or for some other reason, but every time Wen Baizhi came here, Qi He would prepare her favorite Longjing tea.

After taking a sip of tea, Wen Baizhi thought that Qi He himself might also like to drink Longjing tea.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence every time?

If she told Si Jiu about this coincidence, Si Jiu would probably figure out the secret before her.

After taking a sip of tea, Wen Baizhi started to talk about the main purpose of her visit today.

"Qi He, I'm not someone who likes to beat around the bush. I always speak my mind, so what I'm going to say next will definitely make you feel uncomfortable, but it's indeed the reason why I came to you today, and even the reason why I brought the jade pendant to you to recognize you before, is also to pave the way for what I'm going to say next."

Qi He saw Wen Baizhi's rare serious expression, and he also became nervous: "Miss, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly, you don't need to have any reservations."

Wen Baizhi then continued, "Although you have been in Yunzhou for such a long time, do you know the current situation of Dacheng?"

Wen Baizhi didn't say what she wanted directly in the end. Instead, she thought about slowly explaining things to Qi He first, then bringing out her purpose, so that Qi He could slowly accept it.

Qi He naturally knew about this: "Miss, to be honest with you, although I and the brothers in our escort agency have already left the Wen family army, and General Wen even faked our deaths in order to keep us alive, we have already become dead people without an identity in our hometown.

But we still have strange feelings towards Dacheng in our hearts. I spent a long time analyzing the source of my feelings. Later, I realized that perhaps I was not loyal to our Majesty, but to the entire Dacheng and every citizen under the territory of Dacheng. "

This statement was similar to what Wen Baizhi thought.

Just like her father and brother, even though they knew they were framed, they never had any intention of rebellion.

They have a faith in their hearts that is greater than life.

The same is true for Qi He now.

But what makes him better than the Wen father and son is that he is not blindly loyal.

He would also be loyal to Dacheng, but not to the emperor.

This answer also made Wen Baizhi feel relieved.

Otherwise, if Qi He was loyal to Qi Yan'an from the bottom of his heart, then she wouldn't have needed to say anything afterwards.

"Qi He, your thoughts coincide with mine," Wen Baizhi said calmly, "To be honest with you, Qi He, I came to Chidu from Kyoto, and then from Chidu to Yunzhou to avoid His Majesty's search."

She thought Qi He would be shocked, but she saw that his expression seemed calm.

"Why are you so calm? You don't even want to ask me why your majesty is looking for me, and why I traveled thousands of miles to Yunzhou to hide."

This confused Wen Baizhi.

Qi He just smiled: "I actually guessed it a long time ago."

Now it was Wen Baizhi's turn to be shocked.

Qi He seemed to notice her surprise and continued to explain: "From the time you and your husband came to the escort agency to find me, I have been suspicious of your identity. Although you know a lot of things that only Miss Wen Bai would know, the news of Miss Wen's death was known to the entire Dacheng at that time. There is no reason for it to be as you said, that you met a hermit who saved you and changed your face.

The most important thing is, Miss, do you think that I am far away in Yunzhou and don’t know what is happening in Kyoto? Your husband is the famous Governor of Kyoto, how could I not know? The Governor’s wife is the daughter of the Wen family, and this is also a well-known fact. Your talk about face-changing is not true in the face of this fact. "

Wen Baizhi stood up in shock: "You know everything? When did you know? Don't you know that I'm not Wen Bai?"

Wen Baizhi looked outside subconsciously. She was wondering if the secret guards sent by Si Jiu to protect her would be able to rush in and rescue her as soon as possible if she was in danger later.

But she ultimately underestimated Qi He and his hidden love.

Seeing that she was frightened, Qi He hurriedly explained: "Miss, don't be afraid. I don't mean anything else. I know that you are Miss Wen in front of outsiders, but I know that you are still Wen Bai. I know everything. I just don't want to hide anything from you, so I chose to tell you this. And don't worry, Miss, I am the only one in the entire escort agency who knows about this, and I won't tell anyone else."

From what Qi He said, it seemed that he had no intention of making her identity public and that he would continue to obey her orders. Wen Baizhi felt relieved.

"Since you already knew everything, why didn't you expose me before? Why did you have to wait until today when I came to talk to you about this to tell me?"

Although he said he would not tell anyone else, Wen Baizhi was still a little worried.

After all, he had actually deceived himself for so many days.

There was a flash of grievance in Qi He's eyes.

"Miss, I'm not a fool. Just like you said, you traveled to Yunzhou and came to our escort agency. You must have difficulties behind it. You didn't tell me before, so I couldn't ask directly. That's why I didn't find the opportunity to explain your identity to you until now. Miss, whether you believe it or not, as long as you say the word, I will do whatever you want me to do. Even the other brothers in the escort agency, as long as they know that they can still have a chance to work for General Wen's daughter, they are willing to go through fire and water."

No matter how Qi He expressed his loyalty just now, Wen Baizhi didn't believe it all at once.

But now he talked about General Wen.

Because of General Wen, Qi He’s brothers in the escort agency will definitely help her when she needs help in the future.

Wen Baizhi believed this simple reason immediately.

No one knew what kind of person her father was better than her and those who had served in the Wen family army.

Her father had such magical power that he could make everyone believe in him unconditionally and follow him.

Even many years after his death, his prestige remained and he could continue to protect his daughter.

Wen Baizhi asked in a hoarse voice: "Then do you know what I want you to do? It's not good to make such a boast without knowing the specifics."

But Qi He just didn't care and said, "As long as it's what you need me to do, no matter what it is, no matter how difficult it is, we will try our best. We can't let General Wen laugh at us and forget the military laws we memorized in the Wen Family Army when we leave the Wen Family Army."

Wen Baizhi smiled.

Everyone under her father's command back then was familiar with the military laws and regulations of the Wen family army.

There were no soldiers that her father could not train, or people that he could not lead.

Wen Baizhi could only believe Qi He's words now.

Even if she still had doubts, she had no better choice at the moment.

So she sat back down again.

Seeing that Wen Baizhi was more relaxed than before, Qi He also breathed a sigh of relief silently.

He only hated that he couldn't open his heart to Wen Baizhi and prove his loyalty to her.

He didn't even dare to tell Wen Baizhi directly that he had no other relatives in this world.

It was General Wen who saved him.

Now he has been removed from all the record books.

Even if he died, no one would know.

He was willing to give everything for Wen Baizhi, including his life.

But he didn't dare to say.

He was afraid of scaring her.

After Wen Baizhi sat down, she said, "Qi He, since we have revealed our cards to each other, I won't beat around the bush with you about some things."

This was exactly what Qi He wanted.

"I was forced to come to Yunzhou by His Majesty. He wanted to force me to admit that I was Wen Bai, but I never admitted it. So he trapped me in the palace for half a month. Fortunately, I was able to escape with the help of the eldest princess."

For various reasons, Wen Baizhi still did not tell Qi He that she had received help from the Queen in the palace.

After all, the fewer people know about it, the better it is for the queen.

She continued, "After that, I kept thinking about how to leave Kyoto and find a place where he couldn't find me, where I could live a stable life. It was also at that time that I accidentally learned about the token left by my father and the existence of your group of people. In addition, the eldest princess was going to marry far away in Chidu, so my husband and I found a reason to escape from Kyoto together. We first went to Chidu and then came here."

This was the clearest time that Wen Baizhi explained her past.

She thought Qi He would ask for some details, but she didn't expect that he only asked one question.

"So what can I do for you?"
