Chapter 316 The Bitter Cold in Northern Frontier

An Tai returned to the room and said, "Master, let me help you lie down."

"No need, why don't you go and find out what happened in the mansion?"

"Yes, young master," An Tai ran out quickly and came back to report soon.

"Sir, I have found out everything. It was the Fourth Young Master who hid the private property of several young masters in the mansion in the name of giving gifts, and was discovered by the Fifth Young Lady. There were also your things in that private vault, and the Eldest Young Lady has ordered the housekeeper to put them back to their original place."

Bai Youan slammed his fist on the bed, "Hmph, does he really think I'm dead too?" For a moment, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

That cold look frightened An Tai, who was serving beside him, so much that he shrank his neck and dared not even to breathe... The young master's look was too terrifying.

In the pear yard across the wall, Bai Yiling squatted on the ground, digging under a pear tree with a black iron sword.

The maid Jianqiu asked in surprise, "Miss, are you digging wine?"

"Yes, come and help me." Bai Yiling continued to dig the soil hard without even raising his head.

The maid Jian Qiuhun had not returned yet, but she had already come over to help. After a while, the two of them dug out two old jars. The seals on the jars had turned yellow, and Bai Yiling patted the dirt off them.

The maid Jianqiu handed her a handkerchief, and Bai Yiling took it and carefully wiped the mouth of the bottle.

Jianqiu saw that the young lady was wiping the wine very attentively, and asked tentatively, "Miss, this wine was buried together by you and the eldest young master. The eldest young master also said that he would wait until you get married to drink it."

Bai Yiling replied nonchalantly, "This wine is meant to be drunk."

"Hahaha, besides, with your young lady dressed like this now, I'm afraid no one would dare to marry her."

Bai Yiling stood up holding the wine jar and said, "Besides, your young lady's outfit is no more handsome than those young men from wealthy families in the capital."

The maid Jianqiu looked at the young lady who was wearing a black crown and had a hint of heroism between her brows. She had both the handsomeness of a man and the refinement of a woman.

She nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, young lady, you are tall and more masculine than those sons of wealthy families. If I hadn't grown up with you, I really wouldn't have known that you were a girl."

In the capital, there are many young men from wealthy families who like to paint their faces white and powdered. Even those who don't wear powdered look like weak scholars, and they don't have the domineering aura that the young lady has gained from practicing martial arts for so many years.

Hearing the maid's praise, Bai Yiling raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Jianqiu, you really have good taste."

Seeing that the young lady was in a good mood today, the maid Jianqiu took the opportunity to beg, "Then young lady, please take me with you today. I also want to go out and play."

"Okay, but you should also change into men's clothes. Remember, you have to call me Young Master when you go out."

"Okay, sir, please wait for me, I will go change my clothes right away", and then she ran away quickly...

At this time, outside the tent in the northern border thousands of miles away, the servant Bai Shu covered his coat, lifted the heavy curtain of the tent, came in with a basin of hot water, and looked at Bai Mufan who was still lying on the bed, "Master, is it time to change the medicine?"

He put down the basin and began to undress Bai Mufan and remove the gauze. Perhaps he touched the wound, and Bai Mufan hissed, but still asked, "Did the letter get delivered in time?"

The servant Bai Zhu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sir. I have avoided the general's eyes and spent a lot of money. I sent it out a few days ago. This letter will definitely reach the capital in time."

After hearing what Bai Zhu said, Bai Mufan felt relieved. "That's good. Although the grandmother of the Chen family is not kind to Maner, she is Maner's grandmother after all. No matter how much I dislike her, I have to save some face for Maner."

Bai Shu said: "Young Master, you have prepared so many precious and rare things, which will surely be enough to entertain Miss Chen. It will leave a good impression on the Chen family, and it will be smoother when you propose marriage."

As the servant Bai Zhu spoke, he untied the bandage on Bai Mufan's back, wrung out a handkerchief and wiped the pus off his back. He looked at the crisscrossing wounds on the young master's back and his constant low cries.

He complained: "Young master, the general is so cruel. As soon as you arrived at the barracks, the general punished you with eighty lashes. The beating was so severe that your back was covered in blood and flesh. The wound has not healed even after a month. Besides, you were just accidentally lured into the enemy's trap. Anyway, the weapons made by the Ministry of Works were not lost."

Bai Mufan did not argue, "It was indeed my mistake this time. I deserve to be punished. This is military rule."

After changing the medicine and putting on clothes, Bai Zhu hurriedly covered Bai Mufan with a quilt and said, "Master, it's really cold in the northern border. Don't freeze to death. Master, you must be hungry. I'll go to the kitchen to see if there is anything delicious." As he said that, he walked out of the tent.

As soon as he walked into the kitchen, he heard people inside chatting, "Although Captain Bai is General Bai's adopted son, he is not even as good as a newly enlisted soldier, and he almost lost the weapons he was transporting."

"That's right. Although Wang Er is a new recruit, he has a good foundation. If he were the adopted son of a general, he might be even more powerful than Captain Bai."

"Hey, I think so too. Besides, Wang Er always helps his brothers and is a loyal person."

"Hey, even Captain Niu is smarter than Captain Bai. Captain Niu can listen to what his subordinates say, unlike Captain Bai who just rushes forward. Now, he has been beaten by the general and is unable to move on the bed."

The servant Bai Zhu snorted secretly, "Wang Er, you dare to steal his young master's limelight? You will suffer the consequences later."

He walked straight into the kitchen. When the soldiers inside saw him coming, they immediately stopped chatting, pretended nothing had happened, and walked away with their bowls of rice...

The servant Bai Zhu brought back the food. He didn't dare tell the young master what had just happened, but he must teach Wang Er a lesson.
