In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.
Chapter 868: Joining forces with the Zhaozhou clan to defeat the Turks
"And in two days, I will secretly deliver the fake death medicine again."
“You need to give it to certain people so that the Turks and the Khan will truly believe that you are dead.”
"Try to choose candidates who are old, weak, sick, or have little mobility."
"Of course, they can't all be old, weak, sick, or disabled. There has to be some strong men mixed in, otherwise it would be too fake."
"We must use this trick to deal with the Turks and push our plan forward, otherwise we'll never be able to leave the city!"
After hearing what the system said, several doctors and common people in Zhaozhou almost understood Bai Lu's intention. Their eyes suddenly lit up: "So, we are going to pretend to be dead and escape?"
The system nodded: "Yes and no."
"The ultimate goal of your pretending to be dead is to leave the city."
"But there's one more thing...which is extremely crucial! We must defend Zhaozhou City at the right time!"
"If reinforcements arrive, defend the city; if not, try to escape."
"According to Bai Lu and I's speculation, the Zhaozhou governor went to Kyoto to exchange Pei Huizhou. The emperor certainly isn't one to sit idly by... He'll definitely send troops to Zhaozhou for support! It would be best if he could lead troops to coordinate internal and external support."
"If we can't borrow external aid, Bai Lu is also hoping that her medicine...can get the people out of the city safely!"
"Those 'corpses' must be thrown out of the city, right? Even if nothing is done with them, keeping them in the inner city will keep the people safe."
"In short, Bai Lu and I will do our best to ensure the safety of the people of Zhaozhou City."
Everyone nodded quickly, their eyes sparkling as they said to the system, "Thank you very much, Master Xi! We'll all remember this."
"Tell Madam Bai Lu later...Thank you for your kindness!"
"only......"
"These plans can only be implemented under one premise."
The system was stunned when it heard Xu Maochun say solemnly: "The premise is that we must ensure the safety of Lady Bai Lu!"
"If you can't even guarantee her safety, then leave us alone. Just give us some poison when the time comes."
"We will leave a blood oath, not blaming Lady Bai! We hope that future generations will not tarnish her reputation! We hope that we will not delay her passing down her legacy..."
"Okay, it's settled!"
After saying that, they all bowed solemnly to the system.
The system was originally emotionless, but when it saw these flesh-and-blood people in front of it, it was stunned in this strange world and couldn't recover for a long time.
The cellar was already a small space, so after they finished talking, everyone went about their business.
"correct!"
The system walked onto the street and suddenly pulled out a large bundle from a pile of wheat husks nearby. He smiled and said, "This bundle is well hidden. I put a lot of thought into it! There are a lot of medicines for curing the plague inside."
"Thank you so much, thank you so much!"
The people were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly thanked the system.
The system smiled slightly, watched their figures gradually walk away, then turned around to look for Bai Lu.
At this moment, a voice came from his ear: "Is it really worth doing this?"
The system nodded: "Worth it."
"But you have to understand that the system cannot interfere in human affairs. If you do, you will be punished later."
"I do, so what?"
The system curled its lips, folded its arms, and walked towards Bai Lu with its legs crossed, saying, "Even if I have to be punished, I'm happy with it!"
The voice was speechless and a little helpless: "Forget it, let's just leave it at that this time."
"These people are truly miserable. When I reported you meddling in human affairs to my superiors, I said... you were doing it to save the host."
The system is allowed to intervene in human affairs to save the host, and the higher-ups will not interfere. However, if it does so for other civilians, it will not be tolerated and will be controlled by the main system and punished.
The medicines that the system suddenly took out this time were not what Bai Lu asked for, but what he wanted to give himself.
Then I heard the voice ask, "By the way, how is Madam Bailu doing? I haven't seen her for a long time..."
"I'll go see her next time I'm free."
She was the chubby little junior sister who was thirteen or fourteen years old.
She also gave Bai Lu a mobile phone and added the contact information of several administrators for Bai Lu.
But Bai Lu has been too busy recently and hasn't contacted them much. The messages sent by the junior sister have fallen into the sea and received no reply.
The system was secretly pleased with itself at first, but only now realized...
Why are you so proud? Bai Lu can hardly protect herself and can barely make ends meet. She is also in danger, and yet you are still so proud.
Alas, it’s so annoying to think about it. The system rubbed its head and turned around to report the situation to Bai Lu.
......
In the room, Bai Lu had just put on her clothes when she heard the system chattering a lot.
"Don't worry, don't worry! This will definitely work."
"Are you still worried about me taking action?"
Bai Lu nodded, patted the system on the shoulder and said, "Thank you very much, system!"
"Oh, no, no! You're still so polite to me!"
The system blushed and waved its hands quickly: "Alright, hurry up and make the poison."
Bai Lu nodded and immediately opened the system mall to get busy.
Two hours later, it was almost done.
It is really convenient to have a system mall, you can find whatever you want in it.
Poisons, medicinal herbs... everything is available.
She bought a hundred pills of fake death poison, each costing 100 wen, chopped them up and put them into low-quality muscle and bone strengthening pills.
The price difference between the inferior muscle and bone strengthening pills and the ordinary ones is not a little bit. You can buy a hundred pills for one penny.
This is a low-quality product that was originally intended to be sold wholesale...
Its side effect is that it can cause unbearable pain, but the benefit is that it can really strengthen muscles and bones.
Bai Lu was still thinking about how to get away with it, but now she sees that this thing is just the right thing to use.
I also picked up a leak by the way.
Calculating it this way...the total cost of everything is less than twenty taels!
Just by doing this, she could save these people, and she was so happy.
After shopping, Bai Lu lay on the bed and had a comfortable sleep.
The next day, the Turkic Khan came and asked, "Have you finished your training?"
Bai Lu calculated the time carefully: the magistrate of Zhaozhou had just set out, and it would take three or four days to reach Kyoto.
It would take another three or four days for the people in Kyoto to rush back, so he had to hold on until the day when the governor of Zhaozhou brought reinforcements back, which was seven or eight days later.
We can't tell the Turkic Khan that the poison is ready now.
So she shook her head and said with embarrassment: "Not yet, please wait a little longer."
"If I'm done refining it, I'll definitely tell you as soon as possible."
The Turkic Khan stared at Bai Lu for a long time, his expression gradually darkening: "If you're deliberately teasing me, you should know what will happen to you!"
"I will never let you get out alive!"
"And many of my Turkic soldiers like you very much, White Lady. You should be aware of your fate, right?"
Bai Lu nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I won't let those people go."
When she said this, a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes, but she seemed to have no flaws.
The Turkic Khan stared at her for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter, nodded, and left.
"Wait, Lord Khan!"
Bai Lu suddenly stopped him and asked softly, "I want to ask you something."
"What do you want to know?"
The Turkic Khan was stunned. He didn't expect Bai Lu to take the initiative to make a request.
Bai Lu hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want to know if my daughters are doing well in Qingzhou. Have you sent anyone to Qingzhou to inquire about their situation?"
"Why should I inquire about your daughter's news?"
The Turkic Khan looked at her speechlessly.
Bai Lu said sincerely, "Because I am your subordinate now. If you don't even ask about my daughter's news, how can I be at ease as your subordinate?"
"Eh? What you said... does make some sense."
The Turkic Khan twitched his lips and then realized that he had forgotten that she was also a mother.
Now that I think about it, she is indeed my subordinate...it's no big deal to help her find out about her daughter.
A calculating look flashed in the Turkic Khan's eyes, and he said, "Okay, I'll send news about your daughter to your room later."
"If you like Bai Qi, I'll let him come over to accompany you."
Bai Lu nodded and said nothing more.
Not long after, Bai Lu met Bai Qi.
The two of them sat together and did nothing else but eat mung bean cakes, snacks, and meals.
Two people can eat enough for four people.
But no one else was suspicious. After all, Bai Qi was a man with great martial arts skills, so it was normal for him to eat more.
But in fact, not many of these pastries were actually eaten by the two of them. Bai Qi didn't need to eat, so most of them were thrown into Bai Lu's own space.
Keep these things, maybe they will be useful later.
However, Bai Lu also took a look at the system mall, which also sold instant steamed buns and pancakes.
If the situation is really bad, you can also buy it from there, but it is difficult to explain where it came from... You can't tell people how these things were hidden and preserved.
Not long after, the Turkic Khan specially sent a small notebook to tell Bai Lu: "In reply to Lady Bai, don't worry! The young county ladies and princesses are living very well in Qingzhou!"
"I heard they were doing business in Qingzhou and giving porridge to the people. Everyone liked them very much and even said they wanted to build a shrine for them..."
"What? Lisheng Temple?"
Bai Lu was happy when she heard it.
She didn't take it to heart.
I just wanted to hear news about the children to put my mind at ease...it doesn't matter even if the news is not accurate.
More importantly, this would confuse the Turkic Khan.
After all, for a mother, children are the most important. It is reasonable for her to worry about her children after being locked up for so long!
In fact, if Bai Lu was really worried about the children, she could use the long-distance voice transmission to contact the female soldiers who stayed in Qingzhou and ask about the children's situation.
She pondered for a while, then nodded to the little notebook: "Thank you very much, little notebook, you can go back first."
"okay!"
The little notebook nodded and turned away.
Looking at his back, Bai Lu touched her slightly trembling wrist and said to Bai Qi: "Let's go find the Turkic Khan. There is something I need to confirm with him..."
That was Uri's father.
"Row."
Bai Qi nodded and followed.
Now Bai Lu is still well-received by the Turkic Khan and does not have to be put in solitary confinement.
But she could clearly feel that there were Turkic masters around who were always staring at her.
There were also soldiers guarding outside the door of her and Bai Qi's room.
On the surface, it seems that no one is monitoring us, but secretly there are many people watching us.
The most important thing now is to gain the trust of the Turkic Khan, and then we can gain his trust by drugging the people.
Very soon, it won’t take long.
There is no need to worry too much about this.
"Why did you come to me?"
The Turkic Khan was looking at a feng shui map and was a little surprised to see Bai Lu coming over.
He had a smile on his face, but he was full of vigilance in his heart.
Bai Lu smiled and said, "Lord Khan, I'm going to start making poison. I'd like to trouble you to provide me with some medicinal materials."
"Okay, just make a list of the herbs you want, and I'll give you as many as you want."
The Turkic Khan waved his hand and said.
Bai Lu nodded in agreement, and then bustled around in front of the Turkic Khan, diligently refining the medicine...
I spend the whole day soaking in the pile of medicinal herbs.
Gradually, the Turkic Khan's suspicion of her was alleviated.
On the last day, Bai Lu finally finished refining the medicine.
After handing the medicine to the Turkic Khan, he was very happy and nodded with a smile: "Well, you are indeed a capable person!"
"I will confer upon you the title of Baroness later, just like the one bestowed upon you by the Emperor of Dawu!"
With Bai Lu, a talent who is both skilled in martial arts and medical skills, the Turkic Khan thought to himself: If she is willing to be loyal to him, it would be worth it to give her more benefits.
Bai Lu nodded with a smile and didn't say much.
Afterwards, Bai Lu gained the trust of the Turkic Khan and began to distribute medicine to the people.
Before long, people began to show various symptoms of "pseudo-death".
The Turkic Khan was even more delighted when he saw this!
The Turkic Khan trusted Bai Lu!
He simply asked Bai Lu: "What reward do you want?"
Bai Lu shook her head: "I don't want anything, I just want my daughter to be safe and healthy..."
"Please let them go."
"That's necessary, you don't have to worry!"
This statement was completely consistent with her mother's identity, and the Turkic Khan did not suspect anything.
However, after a while, Bai Lu asked at the right time: "By the way, I keep hearing someone crying in the next room. Who is that person?"
The Turkic Khan then remembered: "Oh, there is also the emperor of a small country imprisoned there!"
He didn't take it seriously, nor did he think of Bai Lu. He just said casually, "If you like him, I'll make him your male lover!"
Bai Lu immediately shook her head: "No, I don't have this hobby."
"Maybe you'll like him? He's quite good-looking! Big nose, big eyes, big everything!"
Bai Lu: "..."
(“▔□▔)
The Turkic Khan had a strange look in his eyes, after all, the emperor of that small country was indeed handsome.
Bai Lu pondered for a moment, then went to take a look. After returning, she said to the Turkic Khan in amazement, "I know this man! He's the father of one of my younger generations, and they look exactly like each other!"
"So you know him!"
The Turkic Khan suddenly became interested. "Now that you know him, how do you plan to deal with him?"
