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

"???"

Bai Lu was shocked!

No, what's going on with him?

Didn’t you see him looking very sick before?

And didn't Xu Xian say he was dying of illness? Why did he suddenly come back to life?!

Bai Lu's heart was filled with alarm and she quickly retreated to the back!

Pei Huizhou did not fight with Bai Lu. He just looked at her deeply and said to her, "Go and rest."

He pulled out a long soft sword from the sole of his boot. The thin young man's clothes fluttered and he turned around to kill Chen Yuan.

His hands were actually faster than those of Master Xi and Xu Xian. It only took him three or two moves to kill Chen Yuan with one sword!

Chen Yuan spat out blood from his mouth and fell to the ground, like a kite with a broken string.

A young life was lost just like that.

He fell to the ground, blood constantly flowing from his mouth. He wanted to look in Bai Lu's direction, but Bai Lu didn't even look at him.

Bai Lu stared at Pei Huizhou blankly, and saw that the people who were immediately surrounded by the Turkic army were holding their weapons, very scared, and protecting the women, children and old men behind them.

Even women, children and old men had weapons in their hands, such as iron rods or wooden basins.

Just as the two sides were confronting each other, a heavy voice was heard from outside: "White Lady, don't be afraid, I'm coming!"

When Bai Lu turned around, she saw a very familiar man coming with a large army. He surrounded the Turks and started fighting with them.

Bai Lu opened her eyes wide, it turned out to be General Shi...

General Shi looked at Pei Huizhou deeply and then threw himself into the war.

Pei Huizhou had already walked up to Bai Lu, looking like he was asking for a beating. He grinned at her and said, "How's it going? Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Bai Lu looked at Pei Huizhou in confusion: "What's going on? Didn't you betray me?"

"Why would I betray you?" Pei Huizhou looked at Bai Lu with a smile, and said, "My goal is not to become a running dog of the Turks, but to become the king of the world!"

"I will not betray you. I will always work hard for my goal."

Pei Huizhou came close to Bai Lu and smiled at her, "Thank you for stitching together our plan. It made my plan seamless."

"In this way, I will become the person who turned the tide and be a meritorious person."

Hearing this, Bai Lu looked at him carefully and suddenly realized, "You and General Shi...you two are in cahoots. You saved General Shi's life before, and now...General Shi showed up just for this chance to redeem himself for meritorious service?!"

"In this case, both of you are innocent and have done something meritorious?!"

"That's right." Pei Huizhou nodded with a smile and said to Bai Lu, "Don't be angry. If you are angry, your beautiful face will become wrinkled. Wouldn't it look ugly if it is wrinkled?"

"..."

Pei Huizhou smiled happily when he saw Bai Lu's face gradually turning pale.

"Of course, Lady Bailu, I have the credit, and you have the credit too!"

"Look, you saved the people of the entire Zhaozhou Prefecture, and for them, you ventured deep into the mountains, escaping death... The court will surely reward you."

But wouldn't Pei Huizhou be able to die? Bai Lu gritted her teeth in anger: "Why aren't you dead yet?!"

How can he be so tenacious!

Pei Huizhou smiled and said, "Why do you look unhappy?"

"Could it be that if I were to become a spy, would you be happy?"

Yes, is he happy just because he is a spy?

Bai Lu was silent for a while, lowering her head and saying nothing.

You know, if he were a spy, it would be the people of the world who would suffer. Now that he is not a spy and is only fighting with the prince and others, it is actually a good thing.

Although Pei Huizhou was a villain, he wasn't a traitor to the nation. In a way, that was a good thing...

Pei Huizhou said calmly to Bai Lu, "The people of Dawu are all patriotic! In fact, you shouldn't have doubted me in the first place."

Bai Lu twitched her lips and was speechless.

This sentence makes sense and is also very courageous, but if it comes from Pei Huizhou's mouth, it is really...

Soon, General Shi captured these Turks.

The decisive and ruthless General Shi walked up to Bai Lu and Pei Huizhou, with a complicated expression on his face, and bowed apologetically to Bai Lu, "Lady Bai..."

At this moment, a voice came from not far away: "Bai Lu, are you okay?"

The prince and his men hurried over and saw Bai Lu and Pei Huizhou together.

Bai Lu's face looked grim, but Pei Huizhou's face looked as cheerful as a spring breeze.

The prince was stunned. He didn't expect Pei Huizhou to still be alive...

He immediately pulled the reins, dismounted, and ran quickly to Bai Lu, pulling her away from Pei Huizhou: "Bai Lu, are you okay?"

"Why are you with Pei Huizhou? Did he do anything to you?"

Bai Lu shook her head, then said softly to the Crown Prince with a complicated expression, "The situation is complicated. Let's go back to Zhaozhou City first, escort these people back, and then we'll talk slowly."

The prince nodded and didn't say anything else. He helped Bai Lu onto the horse himself and let her ride on his horse.

The prince did not ride on the same horse with Bai Lu, but personally supervised the soldiers under him to send the people of Zhaozhou Prefecture back to the city.

The people of Zhaozhou Prefecture burst into tears and kept thanking the prince and his men: "Thank you, Lady Bai, thank you, Lord Pei..."

"I never thought that Lord Pei would endure so much hardship and endure so much criticism. He is such a good man..."

"This time... Your Highness, we are very grateful to you. When you return to the court, you must properly clear Lord Pei's name! Say that Lord Pei is a good person."

The prince worked tirelessly to send these people back to the city, and then he heard the people of Zhaozhou City holding the prince's hands and giving him instructions one by one.

The prince could manage to maintain a smile at first, but then he became more and more tired, and his hair stuck to his face.

Listening to what the people of Zhaozhou City said, his face turned pale and he could no longer maintain his smile.

tnnd!

The prince naturally couldn't say anything, and what did this have to do with the people? He couldn't vent his anger on the people either.

He could only curse in his heart: This Pei Huizhou is such a cunning guy!

They are secretly deceiving the people like this!!!

I could have crushed him to death, but it turned out like this...

Forget it, I don’t care about it anymore.

The prince shook his head. As long as Bai Lu was still alive and most of the people in Zhaozhou City were still alive, that was enough.

Bai Lu wasn't injured. I had just checked carefully and she hadn't been violated. That was enough.

As for the rest... just take your time. Once I get back to Kyoto, I'll slowly deal with Pei Huizhou.

Inside Zhaozhou Prefecture, Prime Minister Wang was getting anxious waiting.

I don’t know how many days I waited, but I finally saw Bai Lu coming back.

There was a dark circle under his eyes. When he saw Bai Lu coming back, he threw himself in front of her with tears and snot, and cried loudly to her.

"Oh my god, Bailu...you're finally back."

"If you don't come back, I won't be able to sleep."

Prime Minister Wang was old and had a light sleep, and he was extremely worried about Bai Lu, so he hadn't slept for several days.

Seeing Chief Minister Wang crying like this, Bai Lu sighed, straightened his clothes, and said to him, "Don't worry. I'm fine. The Turks didn't dare to touch me. Thanks to Your Majesty, I returned without a single injury."

"The people of Zhaozhou City are now safe... There's no need to worry about me."

Bai Lu's eyes swept over everyone, Duke Liang, the Crown Prince, General Murong, General Li, and Gu Liang.

"Thank you..."

As for Pei Huizhou... Bai Lu deliberately ignored him and said to everyone seriously, "Let's go back and rest first."

"We'll talk about the rest after we've rested."

Hearing this, everyone nodded. Without Bai Lu saying anything, they all knew that Bai Lu was very tired.

Everyone hurriedly said, "We have already prepared a room for you. Go to the Zhaozhou prefect's house and have a good sleep."

"His daughter's room is the best. We've prepared it for you. Go ahead."

"..."

Bai Lu pursed her lips and said to the crowd, "By the way, how is the daughter of the Zhaozhou governor doing now?"

Everyone looked at each other and fell into deep thought.

Then, Wang Shoufu said in a hoarse voice, "The daughter of the Zhaozhou governor died a long time ago, leaving behind a child born to a Turkic man. He was thrown to death by the Turkic Khan a long time ago."

"But the Zhaozhou prefect doesn't know."

Bai Lu was silent for a moment, then nodded and said to them, "Then let's not let the Zhaozhou governor know about this. Just say that his daughter is still in the Turkic territory."

Gu Liang nodded. "By the time General Zhou has completely defeated the Turks, the prefect of Zhaozhou will probably have been sentenced to death and executed in the autumn. There's no need to explain this matter to him."

Hearing this, everyone nodded silently, without saying anything else. They told Bai Lu: "Okay, okay, don't think so much. Go back and rest."

Bai Lu returned to Zhaozhou Prefecture and went to a luxuriously decorated room.

The goose pear tent was filled with a warm fragrance, and the pink mermaid gauze of the bed curtains shimmered with silver light. The fish-scale effect was created by sewing a mixture of gold and silver threads, and the bottom was adorned with crystal beads. It looked gorgeous and rich, yet also had a girlish playfulness.

The mattresses are all made of Shu brocade and satin.

The room is very big. "This room is really nice..."

Bai Lu thought about it for a long time, but finally did not sleep here.

Although she was very tired, she felt that she should leave this place to the magistrate of Zhaozhou and his poor daughter.

She turned around and went to sleep in the west wing of the courtyard.

The west wing is also well decorated, and the bedding is made of silk and satin, very soft and light when covered on the body.

The girl lay lazily on the bed and slept for a long time without realizing it.

When I woke up the next day, it was already early morning.

She stretched deeply, and just as she went out, she saw the prince sitting in the middle of the yard, playing chess by himself.

"Your Highness." Bai Lu was stunned. "You're up so early?"

The prince nodded, and when he saw Bai Lu was awake, he smiled at her: "Yes, I got up quite early."

"I was worried about you, so I came to see you... You slept like a pig all day. I was really worried!"

Bai Lu was very surprised when she heard this. Her pale face immediately turned red with embarrassment. "What? I actually slept for a whole day?"

"Yeah, didn't you feel it yourself?" The prince looked at Bai Lu with a smile, "You slept for a whole day and night."

"However, it took us two days to get out of the mountains... You haven't slept much in those two days. It's normal for you to sleep for a day after being so tired."

Bai Lu nodded silently after hearing this, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Your Highness, am I causing you any trouble?"

"It's okay. It's not a big deal. You're not Prime Minister Wang, you can sleep as long as you want."

The prince joked, "Prime Minister Wang is such a pitiful person! He barely slept for long before someone from the imperial court arrived."

"His Majesty was extremely anxious and sent three imperial envoys to inquire about the situation and your condition... But in the end, His Majesty was unsure about anyone, so Chief Steward Li came in person."

The prince found it amusing. "The first person they questioned was Prime Minister Wang. These three imperial envoys arrived yesterday and the day before yesterday, and they came in batches to question him. How could Prime Minister Wang have gotten a full night's sleep?"

Bai Lu also found it funny, so she said a little awkwardly, "Prime Minister Wang is so old, he can't even get a full night's sleep, and he's worried about the war... It's really my fault. We have to let Prime Minister Wang have a good rest later."

"Don't worry." The prince nodded and smiled. "In fact, Prime Minister Wang sleeps well too. When he left Qingzhou City and sent Pei Huizhou back to Kyoto... he slept particularly well!"

"It's been going on for more than ten days. To be honest, he's in much better spirits than any of us."

Bai Lu was delighted to hear this: "Come on, Your Highness, let's go to the front to see Chief Steward Li and tell him that everything is fine and don't let His Majesty worry."

"Row."

The prince and Bai Lu went together to the main hall of the Zhaozhou prefectural government office.

By the way, the prince told his subordinates to quickly inform Wang Shoufu and others that Bai Lu had woken up.

As soon as she arrived at the main hall, she saw Manager Li coming towards her hurriedly. He moved his fat body closer to Bai Lu and looked at her carefully.

Seeing that she was in good spirits and didn't show any signs of panic, he knew that Bai Lu was really as others said, not violated or injured, and was in very good spirits.

He was completely relieved.

Even though everyone else said Bai Lu was fine and that she wasn't being tortured by any Turks... he still felt uneasy!!

What good would it be for a girl this beautiful and capable to fall into the hands of the Turks?!
