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

As Bai Lu walked towards the outer city of Zhaozhou, she was actually in a trance. She said to Bai Qi, "I feel like I have become a saint."

"What is a Virgin Mary?" Bai Qi tilted his head, not quite understanding. "Why do you say that?"

Bai Lu shook her head and smiled at Bai Qi. Bai Qi was a robot and still didn't understand herself.

However, Bai Qi then said, "Saint Mary is a good word. Are you praising yourself?"

Bai Lu twitched her lips and was speechless. "No." She felt that these people in Zhaozhou City had nothing to do with her, so why should she care?

But... in front of the whole world, if you have the ability, you must take charge, right?

Just like in the original Chinese world, hundreds of years ago, their ancestors also bravely fought for their country, facing the crisis of national extinction. Maintaining national unity is a responsibility engraved in the bones of every Chinese. This is one of them.

Bai Lu accepted the commission from the governor of Zhaozhou, so she had to come here to help solve the problem. This is the second point.

She is not a true saint, nor is she willing to sacrifice everything for great love. She is more like a person who keeps her word and who believes in "taking care of herself when she is poor and helping the world when she is rich."

In this world, if you can't live happily for yourself, if you can't do what you want to do... there is no meaning in living. If you just live in vain, then you would rather not live.

Bai Lu is a person who would rather die than live in disgrace, but she is also a bit too stubborn and easily broken...

Protect the people of the world, protect our homes, bring peace to the world... Let the people live in harmony and reunite with their families.

By then, I will go back and reunite with my family.

......

The Turkic Khan had already finished his bath. He rubbed his body, his face looking as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

The little book presented a rolled-up towel and said tremblingly to the Khan, "Don't be angry. At worst, I can ask the King of the Great Stone Kingdom to come out and give you a beating to vent your anger. Isn't that enough?"

"Beat him up?" The Khan snorted coldly, saying in frustration, "If we beat him up, that would be too easy for him! We can just find him and kill him!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Benzi quickly said, "But General Bai has always valued... ahem, how about we kill him later?"

"After a while, when General Bai Qi no longer cares about him, you can do whatever you want to him!"

Hearing this, the Khan asked, "You mean, I still have to take care of General Bai?"

The little book knelt on the ground and said hurriedly: "Replying to the Khan, that is not what I meant!"

"I feel that if we touch him at this time, my relationship with General Bai will deteriorate."

"General Bai is not considered a Turkic person, right?"

Hearing this, the Turkic Khan stared at the notebook thoughtfully, then nodded with a smile: "What you said seems... to have a grain of truth."

"But you are not a Turk!"

The little book quickly said, "Yes, yes, I am not a Turk, but I am your dog!"

The Turkic Khan's expression suddenly became much better.

The little notebook continued, "Now that Bai Qi has just surrendered, we must treat him well!"

The Turkic Khan nodded. If he did not give Bai Qi face at this time, Bai Qi might feel resentful towards him.

Bai Qi’s loyalty was not high to begin with. If it drops further, won’t he be completely gone?

If Bai Qi fell into the Dawu army, he would definitely be a serious threat.

The Turkic Khan took a few deep breaths, and thinking of Bai Lu’s previous words, he had to suppress the humiliation.

Speaking of which, the Turkic Khan was actually quite puzzled. He really didn't expect that Bai Lu and Bai Qi would actually protect the King of Dashi Kingdom so much!

How ugly the king of Dashi Kingdom looks!

The Turkic Khan said to his men with disgust, "You must keep a close eye on him recently. When Bai Qi and Bai Lu stop protecting him, just kill him without asking my permission!"

Xiao Benzi nodded quickly, but sighed in his heart: Alas, he was the king of a country after all, and he died like this?

All the time I had spent on him was wasted.

At this moment, the Turkic Khan was suddenly shocked!

He looked up at the little notebook, his eyes as sharp as a sword, which scared the little notebook so much that his heart shuddered and his back was instantly wet with cold sweat.

The little book fell to his knees, stammering, "Sir Khan, what's wrong with you?"

No way, the Turkic Khan had caught onto the thought in my mind just now?!

The Turkic Khan stared at the notebook carefully, a sinister expression suddenly appearing on his face: "Do you know what Bai Lu and Bai Qi are doing now?"

The little book was confused and kowtowed to the Turkic Khan and said, "Your Excellency Khan, I don't know what you are saying!"

"Why are you suddenly angry? Talk to me. If I've done anything wrong, feel free to point it out!"

Listening to his words, the Turkic Khan nodded, quite satisfied: "Little Book, although you are stupid, you are pure after all. You don't have as many thoughts as others."

After saying this, the Turkic Khan suddenly laughed, "Speaking of which, Bai Lu and Bai Qi, right now... should be dealing with the funeral arrangements for the people?"

"I never thought they would protect the people of Zhaozhou City so much and even use this method to cover up their tracks!"

"If I were to go and see how the people are being resettled, they would definitely not be able to fool me!"

"Now, this Khan has been pissed off by the King of Dashi Country, so he can only bathe and change clothes here, which gives them an opportunity."

After hearing this, Xiaobenzi finally reacted and said quickly: "So that's how it is!"

"However, they wouldn't dare to do anything, right? After all, this is too obvious."

"And there are quite a few Turkic soldiers escorting them!"

The Turkic Khan raised an eyebrow, and the little notebook continued cautiously: "Bai Lu and Bai Qi are both Han Chinese. We Turks have always looked down on Han Chinese. Those Turkic soldiers will definitely not treat them well."

"Don't say they're trying to bribe the Turkic soldiers. There's something wrong with them... The soldiers will report back to you immediately."

"Isn't that right, Lord Khan?"

The Turkic Khan listened to this and nodded: "That's indeed the case."

"Those Turks wanted to eat Bai Lu raw, and they've long disliked Bai Qi."

One is the woman they want to possess, and the other is the opponent they want to get rid of. Killing Bai Qi can also take away his military merits... They will definitely not help Bai Lu and Bai Qi.

He was clear about the nature of his own people. The Turks looked down on the people from the Central Plains and felt that they were taking advantage of them!

The Turks have always been enemies of the Central Plains because their territory is too poor, with poor soil and scarce resources.

Dawu, on the other hand, has abundant water and grass and countless resources!

Environment determines destiny, they are destined to be enemies!

It’s not that the Turks are warlike and willing to start a war, but if the positions of Dawu and the Turks were switched, Dawu would do the same!

The Turkic Khan clenched his fists tightly and said in a cold voice, "Call over the Turkic soldiers who followed us now, and call Bai Lu and Bai Qi as well!"

Not long after, the Turkic soldiers were brought in to report the situation to the Khan. They all said the same thing: "The bodies have all been burned. Don't worry, Khan!"

After hearing this, the Turkic Khan's suspicions were largely dispelled.

A little later, Bai Lu and Bai Qi also returned. They smelled of wormwood, alcohol, and an indescribable stench of corpses, and both of them had gloomy faces.

When they saw the Turkic Khan, they all said in unison, "Your Excellency Khan."

The Turkic Khan looked at them in confusion: "Did you bury the bodies yourself?" The stench of corpses on them was so strong that it was difficult for him to ignore it even if he wanted to.

The Turkic Khan frowned and asked, "How many corpses did you move? It smells so bad!"

Bai Lu and Bai Qi exchanged a glance and quickly said, "To answer Lord Khan, there are more than 10,000 bodies in total, all of which were moved together with the Turkic soldiers who moved them earlier."

The Turkic soldier next to him nodded in agreement: "Yes!"

"Soldiers like us wear armor when we carry corpses!"

"We also took off our armor and changed into new clothes before coming to see you! Unlike some people who just insult the Khan directly..."

The Turkic soldier's words completely dispelled the Khan's doubts. He waved his hand at Bai Lu and Bai Qi and said coldly, "If that's the case, you can go down and change your clothes quickly!"

"Aren't you ashamed to come out and see people smelling so bad?!"

Although the Turkic Khan temporarily believed Bai Lu and Bai Qi, his tone was still bad.

They naturally knew the reason, it was nothing more than a matter of the King of Dashi Kingdom.

The two of them quickly turned around and left.

Looking at their backs, the Turkic Khan suddenly felt nauseous and vomited: "Damn, this smell is too strong!"

"Tell Bai Lu and Bai Qi not to come see me or bother me these two days!"

The subordinates all nodded in agreement, secretly happy in their hearts.

Bai Lu and Bai Qi returned to their room, changed their clothes, and the smell on their bodies finally dissipated a little.

Bai Lu sat at the table and said to Bai Qi seriously, "Bai Qi, I want to tell you something."

"Please speak." Bai Qi nodded and looked at Bai Lu with a pair of emotionless eyes.

Bai Lu said, "Next, you have to protect me! It won't be long before the Turkic Khan realizes something is wrong!"

"Even if he didn't find out, given the current situation, he might still do something to me! Now, I'm of little use to him."

Her voice paused, and Bai Lu continued, "For the Turkic Khan, my role is probably to replace Pei Huizhou and control the people of Zhaozhou, so that he can reverse the inevitable defeat."

"Now, these functions of mine are about to run out..."

"Even if I can still help him with things, fight in battles, and have decent medical skills, he won't be as wary of me as before..."

Therefore, if he wanted to take advantage of Bai Lu or attack Bai Lu, it was very likely. Especially now, he had deliberately used the King of Dashi to provoke him.

After hearing these words, Bai Qi said coldly: "I will protect you, don't be afraid."

"Haha, I'm not scared." Bai Lu smiled and said to him, "I just think this is quite interesting."

"When will the Turkic Khan find out?"

"Maybe soon, maybe it will take a while." But it is only a matter of time before they are discovered.

Bai Lu silently took a sip of tea and said, "But...people from Kyoto and Qingzhou are almost here. I'm not in a hurry at all!"

By the evening, Bailu specifically asked for some delicious food, such as braised pork, Dongpo pork elbow, and sweet and sour pork made by a northern chef, and emphasized that the sweet and sour pork must be cooked crispy.

The chef in the kitchen was busy for a long time and even after two hours he still couldn't figure out how to make authentic sweet and sour pork.

Their faces were gloomy, and in the end they could only swallow their anger and go outside to buy a plate for Bai Lu.

The chef muttered to himself: I don't know if it's authentic or not. Anyway, the southern taste is sweet, not sour, she can eat it if she likes!

Just after buying the sweet and sour pork, the cook heard that something happened in the mansion.

Bai Lu was called into the room by the Turkic Khan, and it was said that the knife was taken out!

Bai Qi was also surrounded by a group of soldiers!

A strong smell of blood suddenly spread throughout Zhaozhou City...

......

Qingzhou.

"Why hasn't mother come back for so long?" Seven little moons had just returned from the Bai family rice shop and were playing in the courtyard of the Qingzhou prefectural government.

As I sat down in the corridor, I suddenly felt a shock in my heart, and a strong sense of foreboding came over me.

They touched their chests, tears falling without warning. They couldn't explain why, but they just couldn't help crying.

Seeing the girls crying, everyone was shocked and said hurriedly: "Oh my, why are you crying again?"

Leng Bingnian wiped January's tears.

Su Jinyu wiped Eryue.

The little prince wiped March.

Ximen Liuyun wiped it for July.

Uri wipes May.

April and June, two little kids, poured themselves some hot water and wiped each other's tears.

Seeing them like this, everyone felt both distressed and amused.

Murong Jinshu quickly hugged the children in his arms and said distressedly, "Oh, what's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?"

Then I heard the seven little moons say pitifully, feeling particularly aggrieved: "We miss our mother. We always feel that something might have happened to her..."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned ugly.

They did not think that the seven little moons were bad luck. Instead, they felt that Bai Lu had a close relationship with the children. Maybe she really sensed something.

Moreover, why has there been no news from Zhaozhou?

They couldn't help but feel uneasy for a moment.

Information from Zhaozhou to Qingzhou has always been slow... because there's Pingzhou between the two places, so it's not as fast as information traveling to Kyoto. So, we don't know about it yet.

As soon as the Seven Little Moons finished speaking, a voice came from outside: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has left!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is leaving at this time. What is he going to do?"
