Chapter 182 Sending Letters
After two days, the aftershocks disappeared.
Bai Jingzhi and his friends also waited for two days.
Unfortunately, Bai Zhao and the other two did not catch up.
"Jingzhi, we have to leave. We can't delay any longer, Jiang Lan is going to make trouble again."
After Wei Liu finished speaking, he glanced at the expressions of Bai Jingzhi and her daughter.
"Okay!" Wei Hongmian answered straightforwardly, "My husband is smart and quick-witted. He will be able to catch up eventually. Let's hurry on while the time is quiet now."
Wei Liu originally thought that it would take some effort to convince the mother and daughter, but Wei Hongmian was straightforward this time.
"Let's go! By the way, Sixth Grandpa, is there any reply to the letter to Yanzhou?"
Bai Jing's attitude was a little wrong the other day, so this time he brought up the matter of exchanging Jiang Lan so that Wei Liu wouldn't have to think about those things.
"How can it be so fast! Right now is a time of chaos, it will take some time. Let's see if Yanzhou will accept the conditions you proposed."
Wei Liu had no idea whether Yanzhou would accept it.
The Wei family had never dealt with Yanzhou, but they learned from the side that the King of Yan was an upright man.
It is true that Wei Liu was tempted by the conditions put forward by the King of Yan a few days ago, but after Bai Jingzhi's analysis, he was not as sure as before.
"Okay, the conditions are negotiated. If he disagrees, add more conditions."
Bai Jingzhi's words made Wei Liu suspicious, "Is this possible?"
"Wait until my father joins us and let him give us some advice."
She is not nepotism. In her original world, her father was also a powerful figure in the business world and was also very good at negotiation.
Wei Liu looked suspicious, "Your father?"
The group set off on their journey, this time they did not take shortcuts, but took the official road.
The situation here is not serious, with a few small trees leaning on the road occasionally.
Bai Jingzhi lifted the curtain and looked into the distance. Several thatched houses had collapsed, while others had slight cracks on their exteriors. Some villagers had already started repairing them.
"The situation here is not serious. There is no need to worry about an epidemic." Wei Hongmian also breathed a sigh of relief.
In ancient times, there was a lack of food and clothing, and countless people died from cold and hunger.
Many people die from illness; a small cold can take away a life.
The ancients were even more terrified when talking about epidemics, because there were no good treatments.
Even if there is a prescription, it may be difficult to prepare the right medicine due to the lack of raw materials.
"Mom, don't worry, it's not serious here, the plague shouldn't spread."
The villages we passed by were all very peaceful, with no funerals taking place.
The further north you go, the less damage there is.
"How is your father now?" While no one was paying attention, Wei Hongmian approached Bai Jingzhi and asked about Bai Zhao's situation.
"They are fine, they are in space now. When we are close to Jucheng, mother, you must find a chance to bring them out."
Bai Jingzhi knew their situation.
They wanted to hurry on, but unfortunately there were constant aftershocks on the road, making it difficult to ride.
In addition, Hua Sanlang was in a state of disarray and refused to cooperate, so Bai Zhao had to resort to extraordinary measures.
Zhou Yue'e knocked Hua Sanlang unconscious, and they returned to the space villa with their horses.
"Are the horses here too? Then we can't live in our villa anymore."
After Wei Hongmian learned that Bai Zhao was safe, he actually focused his attention on this, which caught Bai Jingzhi off guard.
"Mom, just bear with it for now! It's an emergency, and they don't have any other options. When things are settled, we can clean up together. Then we can spray some perfume to cover up the smell."
Wei Hongmian has mild mysophobia, and the whole family knows it. It has been an occupational disease for many years and there is no way to change it, so they can only accommodate it.
Things were relatively peaceful on the journey later on. Jiang Lan was suppressed by Wei Li and Chang Bo and nothing went wrong.
Still thirty miles away from Jucheng, everyone stopped to rest.
Once here, the temperature dropped significantly.
The leather that Zhou Wen and his son had tanned was put to good use and turned into leather jackets for the elderly, the weak, women and children.
Jiang Lan couldn't stand the severe cold, so he shamelessly asked for one, but he also gritted his teeth and agreed to Bai Jingzhi's request. All of these were counted in the supplies that Yanzhou would use to exchange for him.
These days, Bai Jingzhi has recorded some of Jiang Lan's requests in the book, just waiting to add more to them. She is afraid that Jiang Lan will not make any requests.
"Dad, we are already thirty miles away from Jucheng.
If we travel half a day tomorrow, we will almost be in the city.
My mother will bring you out tomorrow morning when we are about to set out, and you can catch up with us as fast as you can after we are two or three miles away."
Bai Jingzhi becomes a little worried when he has free time.
"My girl, your personality has really changed. You are much more serious than before."
After Bai Zhao agreed to this plan, he was filled with emotion.
"I don't know whether it's right for our family to come here, but I hope we can have some influence on the people here, a good influence."
Bai Zhao has been engaged in business for many years and is recognized as a Confucian businessman.
He didn't come here intending to use his golden finger to kill everyone like other protagonists.
Their cheat codes are not that powerful, more like a warehouse, and no special skills have been found so far.
Bai Zhao confidently declared, "Don't worry about the negotiations. We can always get something for King Yan."
Bai Jing felt at ease and no longer cared about their situation.
They set off after daybreak.
Before setting off, Wei Hongmian disappeared for a while without attracting anyone's attention.
After she came to the grove and brought out the three people and three horses, she hurried back to the team.
Except for Changbo who looked at her with some curiosity, her whereabouts did not attract anyone else's attention.
There were not many people on the official road at this time, and the number of refugees seemed to have decreased.
Bai Jingzhi is now unsure whether the refugees from before are in front of them or behind them.
They did not encounter any refugees on the path they had taken before.
You can understand what those people are thinking with just a little thought.
The refugees running in front simply did not understand the situation in Wujiyuan, and they wanted to get there quickly to open up the wasteland.
As for the refugees behind, they were just waiting and watching.
Bai Jingzhi's knowledge of Wujiyuan was also hearsay.
She was not sure that she would be able to thrive and show her talents in Wujiyuan.
The closer he got to Jucheng, the more restless Bai Jingzhi became.
The expectations for the future and the unprecedented challenges made her whole brain excited.
Her consciousness was immersed in Guiyuantianju, and she began to scratch the tools she used for experiments.
After walking for a mile or two, Bai Zhao and his two companions caught up as expected.
Wei Liu didn't say anything, but Changbo was full of curiosity about the three people who suddenly appeared.
"Captain Wei, your uncle is extraordinary. He was able to catch up with me."
Chang Bo looked at the horses of the three people, his eyes flashing, "Their horses are not ordinary, they look like the war horses that were lost in Prince Li's Mansion that time."
Wei Li didn't have time to close his mouth before asking, "Are you sure?"
"Of course! At the beginning, I disguised myself as someone from Prince Li's Palace and followed the leader surnamed Han to chase those people, and those people went to besiege your aunt's family."
Changbo only said half of it. We are all smart people, and sometimes we don’t need to make things too clear.
"Brother Changbo, please keep this a secret. My aunt's family can't stand it."
Wei Li's attitude was sincere and his posture was extremely humble.
"I never thought that Captain Wei would bow his head and beg for mercy one day. Don't worry, Changbo is not a gossipy person. Since they got it, it's their ability."
Wei Li breathed a sigh of relief at Changbo's promise.
After Bai Zhao caught up, he threw the horses to his two nephews, unloaded the things on the horses, and excitedly ran straight to Bai Jingzhi and his carriage.
"Mianmian, put away your medicine."
Bai Zhao pretended to take out a bundle from the sack and handed it to Wei Hongmian. These were all prepared by Bai Jingzhi and given to him to take out as a show.
Then, he squeezed in between Bai Jingzhi and Old Lady Bai, "Mom, don't cry, I'm back safe and sound! Look what good things I brought you."
Most of the sack was filled with gifts for Old Mrs. Bai.
Bai Zhao did not take the cotton shoes from Bai Jingzhi's villa. He directly bought a pair of cotton shoes from this dynasty in a street shop in Liu County.
There was also a cotton-padded jacket worn by elderly women, which was also given to Old Lady Bai.
Old Lady Bai hugged Bai Zhao and started crying again, "You little brat, you're already so grown up, but you still make me worry all the time! You really are..."
The old lady cried and howled, and Bai Jingzhi quickly slipped away.
"Sixth Grandfather, we will be arriving in Jucheng soon. Someone should deliver this letter."
Bai Jingzhi took out the letter she had written in Qian Yuan's handwriting to Yue Wen, the commander of the personal guard of Prince Li's palace.
"You... fortunately you are not an enemy." Wei Liu smiled helplessly, turned around and found a prisoner to deliver the letter.
When they were still three or four miles away, a group of people and horses came galloping from the direction of Jucheng.
