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

Moreover, there was blood in front of the Bai family rice shop, so it might be unlucky to open the shop these days, and people would probably be afraid and not come to buy.

Hey.

Bai Lu frowned, looked at the corpses being cleared from the ground, and sighed, "Alas... these yamen runners are really wasted."

However, she did not have time to be sad here. She had to hurry back to Qingzhou to see if she could cure these yamen runners.

After Bai Lu's full efforts to save them, all the yamen runners survived, but there was one who could not be saved. His body was chopped into mud and he died.

Sun Luoan was the least injured among them.

After about a day, he opened his eyes.

When he saw Bai Lu, he almost knelt down in front of her and cried: "It was Lady Bai who saved me... Thank you so much."

"We brothers are really pitiful."

He complained to Bai Lu.

Bai Lu also sighed, and said to Sun Luoan: "You are indeed pitiful."

"But all your brothers are alive now, except one..."

"They are just slightly disabled, but I believe the government will not treat you and your brothers unfairly."

When Sun Luoan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Lu asked him, "What happened? Those Turks actually moved all the rice out of the shop. Where did they move it to?"

"do not know."

Sun Luoan shook his head and answered truthfully, "They were in a hurry at the time, and two Turks had already pulled a cart of rice outside in advance."

Bai Lu frowned, and then she heard Sun Luoan say, "But I seemed to hear something... somewhere in the west."

"I thought about it, maybe it's the west."

Sun Luoan was very confident.

Bai Lu was stunned, and then she heard Sun Luoan say, "Because among the east, south, west and north, only the west is full of mountains, and there are many caves. Those caves are hidden, if it weren't for the hunters who go into the mountains all year round, they would probably get lost."

"So, they must have secretly hidden the food in the cave."

"Then we have to transport it through the layers of mountain roads. Although it may be very difficult to transport it out, it will take at least a month to transport it to the Turkic grasslands. But fortunately it is very safe."

"At least this road can transport the food out safely without anyone noticing anything."

Hearing this, Bai Lu fell into deep thought.

She said, "In the evening, when I finish my business in the shops in Qingzhou, I will go with you."

"I'd also like to report to the prefect as well."

Sun Luoan's heart moved, and he asked Bai Lu, "Will you go with us, sir?"

Bai Lu shook her head and smiled, "He probably won't go with us."

"But I will go with Gu Liang."

If they secretly transported the grain from Qingzhou out, and if the amount was more than 500 kilograms and large, the prefect would have to be informed.

And Gu Liang is the prefect’s best confidant.

So he would definitely let Gu Liang get involved in this matter.

Once the matter is accomplished and the imperial examination is passed, the emperor can then confer an official title on Gu Liang.

Hearing this, Sun Luoan smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, sir."

"When night comes, I will ask them to help me carry it up the mountain and lead the way for you!"

Bai Lu was delighted when she heard this. She nodded and said, "Okay, thank you very much, Sun Yayi."

In the evening, Bai Lu said to Qin Liangyu and Mu Guiying beside him: "You two should go with me, in case we encounter any danger."

Qin Liangyu and Mu Guiying both nodded.

"So, do you want him to go with you?"

Bai Lu shook her head slightly and said, "Don't let him go with me for now. I still have some use for him."

"it is good."

So Qin Liangyu, Mu Guiying, and Gu Liang set off.

Bai Lu also told Qin Liangyu: "Follow me later.

"Mu Guiying, you will follow Gu Liang to protect him later."

If you set out at night, you might encounter Turks, but there won't be too many of them.

If the Turks were to come here in large numbers, it would definitely not work.

The war hasn't started yet.

Therefore, Bai Lu and the others only needed to take Qin Liangyu and Mu Guiying with them. Qin Liangyu and Mu Guiying were enough to protect them.

In addition, Gu Liang also has to guard against... the person who is always watching him from behind.

Bai Lu pondered for a while and took some measures.

Sun Luoan was carried personally by the yamen runners sent by the Qingzhou prefect, and they went up the mountain to the west.

“In the evening, there might be wolves in the mountains, but we have smoke to drive them away.

The chimney emits a smell of medicine, which can drive the wolves away. "

As Sun Luoan spoke, he gave two sticks to Bai Lu and Gu Liang.

When the two sticks were slightly lit, a very pungent medicinal smell could be smelled coming from them.

Gu Liang frowned: "...This medicine doesn't smell like a good medicine."

Bai Lu frowned slightly and asked Sun Luoan.

"Exactly. I'm afraid it's harmful to the human body."

So Sun Luoan gave Bai Lu and Gu Liang a pill each and said, "You two take it. With this antidote, you won't be poisoned."

After hearing this, Bai Lu and Gu Liang both nodded. After watching Sun Luoan swallow the medicine, Bai Lu and the others slowly swallowed the pills themselves.

Bai Lu smiled and said to Sun Luoan: "How long will it take us to get there?"

"It will only take a quarter of an hour to get in the carriage. If we are in a hurry, we can go on horseback."

But, Sun Luoan is like this...it’s better not to ride a horse, Bai Lu and Gu Liang shook their heads.

He didn't ride a horse but sat in a carriage, and threw Sun Luoan directly into the carriage.

Sun Luoan seldom rides in a carriage, so he was a little hesitant.

Bai Lu and Gu Liang also gently asked about Sun Luoan's family situation.

Sun Luoan was a little embarrassed. He patted his head and said with a smile, "Logically speaking... the work of us as yamen runners is not bad at all, but I have four sons who are about to grow up... They also need to find marriages, and at this time, I am a little tight on money."

Bai Lu was happy: "I have seven daughters in my family."

"I was under a lot of pressure at the beginning. After all, I was a widow, and I was thrown out by my in-laws. It was freezing and snowy, and I had only a small thatched hut to live in. At that time, I had not yet recognized the Bai family, so I had to work hard to do everything by myself."

"Of course, after I recognized the Bai family...I didn't gain any benefits from the Bai family."

"Life will get better and better as time goes by."
