Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

"Got it!"

"More potvine wine."

The waiter looked embarrassed and said, "Madam Feng, you don't know that we are in the border area, and drinking is not popular. Every household does not make wine."

This was the first time she had heard of this. Bai Zhi asked, "What does this mean?"

"It's an important border town. If you drink less wine, there will be more eyes staring at the barbarians, right? Although we don't have wine, our scorched tea is famous. Can I give you a pot?"

Bai Zhi clapped her hands: "Bring up a pot!"

During the conversation, more and more customers came to eat. There were only a few tables in the restaurant, and there were not enough seats. A woman in light armor came over with a four or five-year-old child in her hand and asked with a smile: "Sister, can we share a table?"

"Of course."

The woman sat down with the child in her arms. The two of them sat opposite each other in silence, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. Bai Zhi simply started chatting with her: "Sister, are you a sergeant in the White Tiger Army?"

"Exactly." The woman seemed to have just finished training. Her forehead was covered with sweat when she looked closely, but she was not out of breath at all. She still had the strength to pick up the baby with one hand and put it on her lap. She said cheerfully, "Today I finally have a half-day off, so I brought my daughter here to eat soft silk. This thing is sour and sweet, and the little baby loves it."

Bai Zhi sighed: "The White Tiger Army is really hard-working. They only have half a day off."

"It was supposed to be a whole day, but today is special." The woman didn't want to talk more and changed the subject abruptly, "Sister, is this your first time in this store? Their soft silk is unique. It would be a pity if you don't try it."

"Nodding." Bai Zhi didn't miss the words that flashed by, "Sister, why is today so special?"

The woman held it in for a moment, but couldn't come up with a lie, so she said honestly, "It's hard to say, sister, don't ask."

It's hard to tell the public about the extra training, so it must be because there's a dangerous situation at the border. Bai Zhi frowned - what's going on? Chu Yunchuan left just before the White Tiger Army started training, is Ge Zhen such a big threat?

Or has a greater threat than Ge Zhen emerged?

While she was thinking, the waiter had already served the dishes, placing a full table in front of Bai Zhi: "The dishes are here! Sister Feng, I'm sorry, this young lady's soft thousand silk is the last one in the pot, your daughter's portion will have to wait a little longer."

The baby was concentrating on playing with his fingers. When he heard Ruan Qiansi, his eyes lit up and he called out in a baby voice, "Ruan Qiansi! Ruan Qiansi!" Then he stretched out his hand to grab it. The woman raised her hand and held the baby's hand, saying with a smile, "That's Auntie's. Yours hasn't arrived yet."

"What about mine?"

"I'll be here in a minute."

The basket of soft silk was gently lifted up. Wawa saw the aunt opposite her bringing the basket of soft silk, which was white with a hint of red, fragrant and sweet, to her. She smiled and said to herself, "Auntie gives it to you."

The woman waved her hands: "How can this be so embarrassing."

"It's not easy for the White Tiger Army to defend the country at the border. There's nothing to be embarrassed about with a tray of cakes." Bai Zhi pushed the other plates in front of the woman. "This is my first time in Ningzhou. I want to try everything. I ordered too much at once. Meeting is fate. Sister, let's eat together."

By the way, she also wanted to find out what the additional training in the White Tiger Army was all about.

Although she was confident that she could pry Chu Yunchuan open his mouth, there was no guarantee that Chu Yunchuan would not only report good news but also bad news. It was just right to get information from the sergeant.

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, the woman happily agreed and asked the waiter for a few more dishes as a return gift.

At first, Bai Zhi just talked about interesting things in the Thirteen States. Her mouth, which was trained from running a shop, kept chattering, and the little kid listened attentively with his big eyes blinking. Later, she gradually changed the topic to the army: "...My best friend from my hometown is also a sergeant in the city defense army. He has good martial arts and was appreciated by the general to become a captain. The city defense army has a hard time going out early and coming back late, and they can't even take holidays during the New Year holidays."

In reality, it was not that weird. Bai Zhi just exaggerated it on purpose to get the woman to talk. Sure enough, the woman slapped the table and said in dissatisfaction, "The comrades in Qing County are so hard-working? I heard that the commander of Qing County is the elusive General Sanku. How dare she disobey the order of His Royal Highness King Jing and not let her soldiers have a proper balance?"

Bai Zhi took a sip of the burnt tea and said calmly, "I think the White Tiger Army commander doesn't obey orders very well. Didn't my sister only rest for half a day?"

"You can't say that. General Qiao is..."

What is it?

Bai Zhi's ears perked up, but the woman suddenly shut up. She looked at the table full of dishes with a strange expression, then looked at Bai Zhi, and suddenly hugged her child tightly, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Sister, you can eat more, but don't talk nonsense."

Bai Zhi was a little surprised: "I just..."

"If it was a barbarian who said this today, I would have taken her to the army to be punished according to the rules. Don't try to be smart in front of the soldiers of the White Tiger Army."

The woman's voice was cold and sharp, with a hint of murderous intent from the battlefield in her words. Bai Zhi swallowed and understood in the blink of an eye - the White Tiger Army had extremely strict military discipline and their identities were sensitive, so they were not the target of her, a businessman.

It's too much, she really didn't mean any harm.

The woman over there had already called the waiter to prepare for the bill. Bai Zhi quickly admitted her fault and said, "I was the one who talked too much. Sister, I'll pay for this table. It's my apology."

"It's not necessary. Let's go our separate ways. If you don't cause any trouble to the border, it will be your compensation to me."

After paying the money, the woman left with the baby.

The waiter came over to clean up the remaining dishes. Seeing Bai Zhi sighing, he couldn't help but ask, "Madam Feng, did you say something you shouldn't have said?"

"Isn't it?"

Bai Zhi secretly sighed in her heart, what's going on? She went to the White Tiger Army to spy on information. Is she crazy?

"Don't take it to heart. We are at the border, and there are many barbarians recently. Let alone the White Tiger Army, we ordinary people have to be careful when we speak, for fear of accidentally handing a knife to outsiders." The waiter said to himself, "Before the war, Ningzhou was also a border. At that time, the soldiers were not so nervous. I heard that it was all the rules set by His Royal Highness King Jing. The White Tiger Army is the first checkpoint to defend the country. There must be no spies and no information leaks. Later, we ordinary people chatted with them and encountered many setbacks, so we all understood. Madam Feng, you will get used to it after staying for a long time."

This was completely different from the rules in Qing County. The soldiers under General Zhu had mouths like sieves. They would answer whatever was asked, and sometimes they would even pull her aside to nag even without her asking the question.

The border is really different from the peaceful place of Qing County. The common people don't drink alcohol, and the soldiers have to keep their mouths shut. Bai Zhi looked around, and at this moment she really felt that she had arrived at the border.

How could such simple and honest border people become pawns of the old emperor to deal with his own brother?

There is really no such thing as the Way of Heaven in this world.

Seeing Bai Zhi remained silent, the waiter thought that he had annoyed Bai Zhi by talking too much, so he quickly said, "Madam Feng, what else do you want to eat?"

Bai Zhi came back to her senses and smiled at the waiter, "Then...order two more servings of stewed clay pot to take away."
