In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

Bai Lu shook her head and answered truthfully: "I don't know."

Bai Qingze said: "Because the rice in Liangzhou Prefecture is what I left for the officers and soldiers outside. Our Dawu soldiers are coming to fight. Liangzhou Prefecture has little food, and the food and grass supply here must be a lot, so there will definitely be no shortage of food and clothing, but what if something happens?"

"If the Liangzhou government uses some shady tricks to cut off their food supplies, then... our 100,000 dan of rice will be life-saving, do you understand?"

Bai Lu nodded, her expression serious, "Don't worry, I understand."

"These 100,000 shi of rice are reserved for the Dawu soldiers."

"If it can be used, that's great! If it can't be used, that's the best..."

If the 100,000 dan of rice were to be used someday, it would probably mean an extremely critical situation, so it would be better for them not to use it.

Bai Qingze looked into Bai Lu's eyes and felt a little complicated. He knew... these 100,000 stones of rice would definitely be used in the end.

They still have their plans.

All this actually depended on Bailu, Bailu helped them.

Otherwise, he really couldn't think of a way to divert the attention of Lord Dongfang, Master Jiang and King Cheng for a while.

This time, Bai Lu is the savior of the entire Dawu!

Bai Qingze patted Bai Lu on the shoulder and said to her solemnly: "Don't worry, I will give you the money for the 100,000 dan of rice when I come out."

"However much you spent, I will return it to you tenfold."

Bai Lu smiled, "Let's not talk about this for now. I want to get you out first. You can't stay in Liangzhou forever, right?"

Bai Qingze was silent. "How can you get me out? King Cheng looks at me like a thorn in his eye. This is absolutely not possible."

Bai Lu smiled, "But if I can get the location of the food from you, then of course you will surrender to His Royal Highness King Cheng."

"Then as someone he trusts, you can naturally come out..."

Bai Qingze was stunned, "You mean...I surrender?"

"Yeah, I mean, you can also switch sides for now, do you know what I mean?"

Changing sides for the time being...that is, pretending to surrender. This matter is really a bit difficult for him.

But after thinking about it, he felt that this was also a possible solution.

What's more, now that Bai Lu is working for him, if Bai Qingze can come up with 100,000 shi of rice, why shouldn't he make his situation better?

Bai Qingze nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. It's just as you said."

"Okay, then I'll tell the prince to let you out first and not stay in one courtyard all the time. Although you can't leave His Royal Highness King Cheng's sight for too long, at least you don't have to stay in this damn place all the time, and it will be more convenient for you to collect information."

After Bai Lu talked to Bai Qingze for a while, Bai Qingze suddenly held Bai Lu's hand and said to her.

"Have you...have you seen two young men who look similar to me recently?"

Bai Lu was stunned when she heard this, "What do you mean?"

Bai Qingze looked at Bai Lu nervously and said to her.

"You should call these two young men who look similar to me Big Brother and Second Brother."

"Your eldest brother's name is Bai Chuyao, and your second brother's name is Bai Liezhao."

"After they learn about me, they will definitely come to Liangzhou Prefecture to rescue me. I estimate that you will be able to see them in Liangzhou Prefecture soon."

"If you meet them before me, remember to explain your identity. Just say... just say that you are the person I entrusted to them to take care of. Do you understand what I mean?"

Bai Lu just felt that what he said was a little strange. What did it mean to entrust someone to them and ask them to help take care of him?

Bai Lu smiled, "I didn't expect that you were still thinking about me when you came to Liangzhou Prefecture."

Bai Qingze nodded and said to her.

"Yeah, I still miss you."

He felt a little sad.

He now really wants to recognize Bai Lu as his relative and tell Bai Lu that he is Bai Lu's biological brother, he is Bai Lu's full brother.

But now, their situation is really bad.

He was not sure whether he could defeat Cheng Wang. Although he was confident in his heart, what if he failed? What if something went wrong?

If he recognized Bai Lu as his relative, given Bai Lu's personality...if he died afterwards, Bai Lu would definitely try every means to avenge him.

He planned to wait until this was over, when they had defeated the rebels, and then recognize Bai Lu as his relative.

Moreover, Bai Qingze himself knew clearly in his heart that not only himself, but even Bai Chuyao and Bai Liezhao would definitely not acknowledge Bai Lu as their relative at such a critical moment.

They were afraid that Bai Lu would be sad if they died.

Instead of this, it is better to let Bai Lu know that she has no biological brother.

Bai Lu looked at Bai Qingze's changing expression and felt a little strange. She asked tentatively, "Why...brother, what do you want to say?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I just wanted to say...thank you so much for before."

"Thank you so much for letting Breeze come and save me. Otherwise, I would have died in the alley."

Bai Lu smiled: "Oh, by the way, how is Breeze now?"

"Weifeng is fine, they are all alive...Okay, Lin Zanghai is watching us outside, you should go out quickly and tell Lin Zanghai that I have agreed to surrender."

"it is good."

Bai Lu nodded.

After she and Shen Congyun went out, they found Lin Zanghai.

Bai Lu said directly to Lin Zanghai, "Young Master Bai agrees to surrender. He is willing to hand over all the rice in his hands to His Royal Highness King Cheng as a token of his loyalty."

"It's just... I have only one request, that is to ask His Royal Highness Prince Cheng and the others to let him relax a little and not let him stay in this courtyard all the time. He wants to walk around the prefectural government."

Lin Zanghai was happy.

There was some caution in his eyes: "Mr. Bai's request is really a bit novel."

"Why, he is active in Liangzhou Prefecture, who is he trying to tip off?"

Bai Lu was happy to hear this.

"General Lin, that's not what you said."

"Now that he's in this state, who can he tell the truth to?"

"Besides, you guys don't even think about it. Liangzhou Prefecture is the territory of His Royal Highness King Cheng!"

"First, if he wants to tip off the enemy, His Royal Highness King Cheng will definitely not let him! He has always been under His Royal Highness King Cheng's surveillance, and everyone knows this. He has no chance at all."

"Secondly, since he gave all the rice to King Cheng, it means that he trusts Your Highness. How could he do such a thing?"

"Third, given his current status, if he were released, the Dawu people would definitely not believe him... So, no matter what information he said, the Dawu soldiers would not believe it."

"General Lin, you worry too much."

Lin Zanghai, who was standing next to him, was stunned as he listened to his words, every word tasted like pearls.

But when I think about it carefully, I feel that...what he said really makes sense.

So, he looked at Bai Lu suspiciously, and brought Bai Lu and Shen Congyun to King Cheng.

......

King Cheng was stunned when he saw Bai Lu and Shen Congyun coming over.

He was very surprised and asked, "So you just said... this young master of the Bai family is definitely willing to surrender to me?"

Bai Lu nodded, and she seemed a little doubtful.

"Yes, but...his tone and attitude are very stiff. He told me that if you want him to tell you the location of the rice and want to get the rice, you must release him and let him move freely in the Liangzhou prefecture. You can't control him."

"Also, we need to prepare some accommodation, food, and recuperation conditions for him, otherwise he won't talk."

"Haha."

King Cheng actually laughed, and this did not arouse any suspicion in him.

"That's true... He has always had this temper! Very stubborn!"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have disobeyed Lord Dongfang before. Lord Dongfang was so angry! Haha..."

"Since he wants to be released, then let him out."

"..."

Bai Lu and the boy were stunned when they heard this.

Bai Lu glanced at King Cheng with some curiosity.

King Cheng looked at Bai Lu with a guilty look in his eyes, rolled his eyes twice, coughed twice, and said nothing.

Bai Lu just thought...why did he say that?

"What do you mean by disobeying Lord Dongfang? What did Lord Dongfang ask him to do?"

Bai Lu couldn't help but ask King Cheng out of curiosity.

"..."

After hearing this, King Cheng's face twisted for a while, and he said directly to Bai Lu: "Don't worry about these. Anyway, since he is willing to tell us the location of the rice, it's okay for me to let him out..."

"Okay, okay, you guys did a great job on this."

"Lady Bai, you and Master Shen can help me deliver this rice to Liangzhou Prefecture later."

"Just go wherever Master Bai goes. If you go a little far, I will send Zang Hai to you. I will have him monitor Master Bai and escort you two to complete this task together!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, you can take Master Bai out of Liangzhou Prefecture today."

What? This means...when they are on a mission, they can leave Liangzhou Prefecture.

After transporting the rice back, they can go back to Liangzhou Prefecture.

I always feel that... this King Cheng seems to be eager for them to leave.

Bai Lu and Shen Congyun always felt that something was not right.

But after he said that, they could only nod and go down.

After leaving the yard, Bai Lu and Shen Congyun both breathed a sigh of relief.

After meeting Lin Zanghai, Bai Lu did not follow him immediately, but said to Lin Zanghai.

"Are you ready for the jewelry and dress I asked you to prepare?"

Lin Zanghai was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips: "...I will be there soon."

He didn't expect that Bai Lu would reveal it so quickly. "I asked my subordinates to buy it."

The people below haven't bought everything yet.

Bai Lu nodded and said to Lin Zanghai: "General Lin, now I want to ask you to do me a favor. I want you to take me to meet those wealthy businessmen."

"it is good."

Lin Zanghai nodded and took her to the hall.

Those wealthy businessmen breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Bai Lu and Shen Congyun returned safe and sound.

They all gathered around and asked Bai Lu and Shen Congyun in a chattering manner, "What were you doing before?"

"Yeah, we were all scared before. We thought you two were chopped to pieces."

"Yes."

"......Hey, after all, Mrs. Bai has seven daughters at home."

"If you, Lady White, are gone, what will happen to the seven girls?"

"..."

Some of them were concerned, while others asked tentatively.

"Mrs. Bai, Mr. Shen, you two look very radiant, which is not bad."

"What have you done to make the prince like you so much?"

"Yes, yes, tell us! We haven't figured out a solution yet, what should we do?!"

Those wealthy businessmen who had come up with solutions had already gone home to raise money and rice.

"...Then the 72 of us will have to stay here. Why?"

"Why?!"

"That's right! Lady White, Master Shen, do you have any ideas to save us?"

"..."

Bai Lu and Shen Congyun looked at these wealthy businessmen, and Bai Lu smiled at them.

"I know what you want to say."

"I came here today to extend an olive branch to everyone and tell everyone a solution."

"To be honest, Master Shen and I were able to return intact because the third master of the Bai family, Bai Qingze, was willing to donate all of the Bai family's 100,000 dan of rice in Liangzhou Prefecture, and Master Shen and I went to persuade the third master to surrender... Now that we have succeeded, we can both be released."

"We still have some rice left, which we can lend to you to pay off your debts."

"......But, this rice......is at a high price."

"..."

Hearing this, their faces brightened.

Afterwards, the wealthy businessmen showed joy on their faces and spoke one after another.

"I'll pay three times the price!"

"I'll pay four times as much!"

"What's four times? I'll pay five times!"

“I’ll pay six times more!!!”

"I'll give you thirty thousand taels of silver!"

"30,000 taels of silver for 4,000 dan! That's a good price! White Lady... please, you must sell the rice to me!"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm really finished! All I have is only thirty thousand taels of silver!"

"What should I do?!"

"..."
