009 Good Mood
"How could you think so? They were barbarian spies?"You're the reason why Bai Thirteen crippled them?"
Bai Shanglu's expression was grave.
Beiguan City had been guarded by General Lu Ying over the past few years. There had never been a great war within a hundred kilometres. The people in the city could be considered to be living and working in peace and contentment. If the barbarians tried to invade again, even if the Northern Army of Beiguan City won, it would probably be chaotic for a while.
"How can such a stupid fool with weak limbs and simple brains act as a spy? Even if the barbarians are so stupid to send them to undercover, they will definitely keep a low profile. How could they risk revealing their identities to cause trouble?"
"Hmph! In Beiguan City, aside from the newly arrived fools of the Nu barbarians, how could anyone dare to cause trouble in our Bai family's territory? Did they really feel that their lives are too long? Besides, the barbarians didn't have any benefits when dealing with our Bai family. Although they are stupid, they wouldn't do such a stupid thing. The other party deliberately bribed the Nu barbarians idiots to come and cause trouble. First, he wants to confuse the line of sight, and secondly, he's afraid that the wine’s lover’s heart is not in the cup."
{Wine’s lover’s heart is not in the cup: a drinker who’s not really interested in alcohol, meaning having an ulterior motive}
Bai Fuling said disdainfully.
"What do you mean...if the people of the imperial court want to deal with General Lu, so why do they come to test us first?"
Bai Shanglu didn't really understand what it meant to be drunk. However, based on years of experience with Bai Fuling, he could probably guess what she meant. He had also heard some rumours recently that some people in the court were dissatisfied with General Lu Ying, and they might act against him.
Lu Ying was in a position where no one dared to provoke him. There was no need to provoke him. He would be attacked by high-level people from both sides.
In Beiguan City, he randomly asked someone who had the best relationship with the General of Lu Ying. Eleven out of ten would say it was the Bai family, especially the Miss of the Bai family. Lu Ying was clear in military affairs and had a very good reputation. The most convenient way to deal with him was to share this matter with the Bai family.
"Should have been more or less different. Nu barbarian's stupid people started to shout and provoke, deliberately creating trouble and trying to stall for time so that some heavyweights could come to save the scene. The other party probably wanted to use this opportunity to provoke the so-called mastermind of the Bai family. My parents were very low-key and almost didn't leave the house. I am a little girl. Everyone felt that the Bai family must have some other behind-the-scenes influence. Even if ordinary merchants were curious, they wouldn't care too much. They wouldn't be bored to the point of sending people to provoke spies. However, those people in the imperial court have a very rich imagination. They might have imagined that a few versions of the border army and unknown forces are conspiring against each other."
If Yang Heng and his strategist Lie Dang were present and heard the complete reasoning of Bai Fuling, their expressions would be extremely interesting.
Bai Shanglu smiled wryly,
" Since Miss has guessed the identity of the other party, why did she act so heavily?"
In the end, they were just merchants who were attached to Lu Ying's power. Although they had their own power, they could not be put on the surface. Some things couldn't be done too well. Otherwise, it would be more trouble for Lu Ying.
Bai Fuling raised an eyebrow and said,
"I hate people using this method to make trouble in front of me. Besides, if it's really someone from the imperial court, could it be that I can beat a few barbarians and ask big brother for punishment?"
"The most important thing is...Fang Hai's clinic hadn't had much business for a long time! If this continues, he will be able to redeem himself."
When Bai Fuling said this, she immediately smiled wickedly.
Fang Hai was also a person raised by the Bai family. The slave contract was unfortunately in the hands of Bai Fuling. According to the rules, as long as he saved enough silver he would be able to redeem himself and restore his status as a good citizen.
Although Fang Hai had become a slave to the Bai family in name, he was also a proud disciple of the current Divine Doctor, Xin Yi. After completing his studies, he started running a clinic in Beiguan City. It had been too long since there was a war in Beiguan City. He was young, and it was hard for patients to trust him. As a result, he usually treated patients with small illnesses such as typhoid fever and colds.
Most of the people who came to seek treatment were poor people who had no choice. Fang Hai's medical skills were brilliant and he was soft-hearted. He often treated patients free of charge, which directly led to difficulties in the operation of the clinic. He almost couldn't make ends meet.
Forget about redeeming himself, even the money Bai family lent him to open the medical centre, he couldn’t even payback. A disciple of a genius doctor becoming like this, it could be considered as one of a kind!
"Can those people from the Nu Tribe be treated?!
Bai Shanglu was a little surprised. What he had seen earlier was that their joints had probably been broken by Bai Thirteen and the others.
"Could be cured. Bai Thirteen and the others had a sense of propriety. They looked rather miserable. They should have been sent to Fang Hai. They could be cured in one hundred and fifty taels, so they could move in a month. In half a year, they will be the same as reborn from the dead and can move about freely. With such a live advertisement, Fang Hai would be as rich as I guess?" Look, not only have I taken care of these useless things, but I have also taken care of Fang Hai's business. This is called killing two birds with one stone!"
Bai Fuling said cheerfully.
Bai Shanglu was speechless. His family's young miss was helping people advertise their business...How ruthless! It was unknown if the Nu barbarians would be mental after they understood the causes and consequences.
Bai Fuling held the hand of her maid, Bai Guo, to climb up in the carriage. She turned around and smiled at Bai Shanglu,
" You have a cold face like an iceberg. In the fact, your heart is so soft that it's going to kill you. You've been thinking about the injuries of those fools all the way here. Now can you rest assured? It was hard for Yang Mei to see the essence through the phenomenon and insist on showing her respect for you. You are indeed someone who came from my hands!! "Good eye!"
After saying that, she didn't care about the awkward expression on Bai Shang Lu's face and ordered to set off.
This time, she went to the largest restaurant in the city, the Tongyun Tower. Every time Bai Fuling arrived at Beiguan City, they would definitely go to Tongyun Tower to eat before returning to Bai Clan Manor.
The owner of Tongyun Tower, Huang Bai, was also a member of the Bai family. Five years ago, he had already redeemed himself. The Bai family had always taken good care of these old people. In addition, this owner was the chef of the Bai family before, and the dishes he cooked were very similar to the taste of the Bai family. Therefore, he had become the first choice for Bai Fuling to enter the city.
Huang Bai had long since received the letter, so he left the elegant seat on the third floor. He sent people to carefully clean it up and wait for Miss Bai. Bai Fuling wooden carriage arrived in front of the building. Immediately, a waiter came to settle the carriage and invited them to the third floor to sit.
In the summer afternoon, the weather was easy to change. Not long after the Bai Fuling sat down, a cloud of dark clouds surged out from the sky. In the blink of an eye, it covered the sky. With a flash of lightning, thunder rumbled, and soybean-sized raindrops splashed down from the sky. The merchants and pedestrians walked away from one by one, and the streets were in chaos.
Bai Fuling leaned against the window and smiled at the maidservants beside her.
"Do you know why I' m in such a good mood?"
A few maidservants shook their heads in unison.
'It wasn't like the roundworm in your stomach. Who would have thought that you would suddenly smile like that?'
