Young White Horse: The Poison Sword Master of the Wen Family, Shocking the Apocalypse
Chapter 44 Zhenxihou Mansion
As soon as he entered the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, Wen Yanzhao heard a middle-aged man's majestic voice shouting:
"Tie this little bastard up for me!"
As soon as the shout came out, two sturdy and powerful soldiers of the Pofeng Army flashed in front of Baili Dongjun with ropes, and quickly tied him up like a hairy crab for sale.
"What are you doing? You are so brave to kidnap me. I'll see how you explain yourself to my grandfather when he comes back!"
"Let me go, let me go! Cousin, save me, uncle, save me!"
How could Baili Dongjun break free? Like a helpless little animal, he was dragged into the inner hall by two soldiers of the Pofeng Army.
Wen Hujiu and Wen Yanzhao, uncle and nephew, heard Baili Dongjun's cry for help, but did not move. They just looked at each other and laughed.
They naturally knew that apart from Baili Luochen, the Marquis of Zhenxi, only one person dared to treat Baili Dongjun like this.
That is his father—the eldest son of Zhenxi Marquis’s Mansion, Baili Chengfeng!
As Baili Dongjun struggled to be brought into the inner hall, Baili Chengfeng, who had just ordered Baili Dongjun to be tied up, also appeared in front of the three people with a sword.
He was dressed in military uniform and had a magnificent appearance. He walked straight to the warm pot of wine, clasped his fists and saluted:
"Uncle, you have worked hard this time. Come with me to the side hall. I have asked someone to prepare some refreshments and drinks. Let's sit down and reminisce about the past!"
Wenhujiu smiled and returned the greeting:
"Brother-in-law, we are all family! We haven't seen each other for a long time, I hope you are well!"
Baili Chengfeng's face, which was just angry and dignified, suddenly smiled:
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle. I have been busy with military affairs recently and have no time to visit you in Lingnan!"
"How is my father-in-law doing these days?"
He warmed the pot of wine, picked up the wine gourd, drew circles in his hand, and laughed:
"He is a very tough old man. If you don't believe me, ask Zhao'er. He never shows mercy!"
Wen Yanzhao turned around from behind the pot of wine and bowed:
"Zhao'er greets uncle!"
Baili Chengfeng's face was a little surprised when he heard this, and his eyes moved slightly as he looked up and down at Wen Yanzhao who was beside Wen Hujiu.
"Zhao'er? You've grown so big! You look so handsome, and you're even taller than your uncle!"
"The last time we met was ten years ago, and your uncle even held you in his arms at that time! In the blink of an eye, you have grown into a handsome young man!"
As he spoke, Baili Chengfeng stepped forward and held Wen Yanzhao's shoulders with both hands, speaking in a kind voice.
Although Wen Yanzhao rarely met his uncle, he was influenced by his aunt and respected and loved him very much.
When he heard Baili Chengfeng praising him like this, his handsome face flushed and he responded modestly:
"Uncle, you are too kind. In your eyes, Yanzhao will always be the same child as before!"
Baili Chengfeng's eyes were filled with joy, and he patted his shoulder:
"Zhao'er is well-educated, well-mannered, and handsome. He is much better than your cousin, that bandit!"
After he finished speaking, he saw Ye Dingzhi standing aside with a dejected look on his face.
Baili Chengfeng recognized Ye Yun when he was a child. Baili Dongjun and he had been good friends since childhood, so he naturally often brought Ye Dingzhi to the Marquis' Mansion to play.
Although he was only ten years old at the time, Ye Yun was mature, well-behaved and sensible, and the Baili family and the Ye family were old friends.
In fact, Baili Chengfeng treats Xiao Yeyun as his own nephew in his heart and loves him very much.
"Is this handsome young man Zhao'er's friend?"
Baili Chengfeng glanced at Ye Dingzhi. Although his face was somewhat similar to Ye Yun when he was young, more than ten years had passed after all.
Baili Chengfeng naturally couldn’t recognize Ye Dingzhi now.
When Ye Dingzhi heard Baili Chengfeng asking him, he came back to his senses instantly and saluted with his fists:
"My name is Ye Dingzhi, nice to meet you, Prince Baili! I am Dongjun's friend, we met in Shenjian Town!"
"Dong Jun invited me to visit Qiandong City, so I followed Dong Jun and Senior Wen here! Sorry for disturbing you, please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Baili Chengfeng saw that he spoke appropriately, had an extraordinary appearance, and was very similar to Ye Yun when he was young.
I naturally started to wonder, but when I heard that he was Baili Dongjun's friend, I didn't ask any more questions and said with a smile:
"So you are Dongjun's friend. What's the matter with disturbing you? You don't have to be polite when you come to the Marquis' Mansion. Just treat it as your own home!"
Ye Dingzhi felt warm in his heart, and in a trance he seemed to have returned to the time ten years ago when he and Xiao Baili were playing in the Marquis' Mansion.
Then he leaned forward and bowed, his eyes slightly moist, and said in a trembling voice: "Ye Dingzhi thanks you, my Lord!"
After exchanging greetings, everyone followed Baili Chengfeng to the side hall where guests were received and sat down.
……
Baili Dongjun was thrown pitifully into the woodshed in the backyard, and was now leaning on a broken wooden bed with a look of grievance on his face.
He kept shouting:
"Grandpa, save me! Grandpa, your grandson has been abused by your son since he came back!"
"Grandpa, please take care of your unlucky son..."
Rui'er, the little maidservant who was in charge of guarding Baili Dongjun outside the woodshed, couldn't stop laughing when she heard his conversation.
When Baili Dongjun heard laughter outside the woodshed, he immediately jumped out of bed and saw the maid outside through the crack in the door.
"Rui'er, come closer, I have something to tell you."
The little maid named Rui Er smiled sweetly, revealing two dimples and teeth, and said:
"My dear, I dare not. The Crown Princess has strictly ordered me to watch you from behind the door and not to run around~"
Baili Dongjun turned his eyes and asked:
"Do you know where my grandpa went?"
Rui'er: "I heard from the Crown Prince's Consort that the old marquis went to Tianqi City. He should be back soon!"
Baili Dongjun suddenly had an idea:
"Rui'er, go to Luocheng Lane now and find a pharmacy called Huairen. Tell the people inside to hurry to the direction of Tianqi City until they meet the Marquis' army! Do you hear me?"
Rui Er smiled, and stood there shaking his head and said:
"Oh, young master, you want the old marquis to come back and save you as soon as possible! I am the Crown Prince's wife's man~"
Baili Dongjun laughed out loud when he heard this:
"Alright, alright! Stop pretending! We are all family, don't I know my mother well?"
"How about this, you don't need to find someone to inform my grandfather. The handsome man in white who came with my uncle is my cousin Wen Yanzhao. You can tell him secretly, and he will naturally find a way to rescue me!"
Rui'er still used the same tone as before:
"Oh, who gave the young master such confidence? If the prince finds out, I will be punished!"
When Baili Dongjun heard her say this, he knew what was going on in his mind and leaned against the door with his arms folded across his chest:
"Don't you know the tacit understanding between my mother and I over the years? Don't just stand there, go quickly!"
"If there's enough time, I'd better go to Huairen Pharmacy and ask them to tell my grandfather!"
After listening to this, Rui'er said nothing more and left quietly with a smile on his face.
……
Zhenxi Marquis Mansion, side hall.
"Uncle, it must have been hard for you to go back and forth from Lingnan to Chaisang, and then from Chaisang City to bring that little bastard back to Qiandong!"
"Come, brother-in-law, I'll offer you a glass of tea instead of wine!"
Baili Chengfeng sat in the main seat in the center and picked up the teacup.
"You, you, why are you being so polite to me! And what's the matter with you drinking tea instead of wine? Zhao'er, go fill your uncle's glass!"
He warmed the pot of wine and raised the glass.
Wen Yanzhao was about to go and pour wine for Baili Chengfeng, but was stopped by him.
Baili Chengfeng sighed softly:
"Uncle, you don't know that my father has gone to Tianqi City. I have to take care of all the affairs in the mansion and the military affairs. It's inconvenient for me to drink for a while and then go to the military camp!"
Hearing this, Wenhujiu no longer insisted and said in a teasing tone:
"Your Highness is really a busy man, unlike me who is just a carefree wanderer!"
Baili Chengfeng looked embarrassed:
"Uncle, please stop making sarcastic remarks. Don't you know that I am not allowed to drink alcohol in Luoyuqi?"
Wenhujiu smiled and looked at Baili Chengfeng with squinted eyes:
"My dear brother-in-law, after so many years, you still have no family status in the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion?"
Wen Yanzhao and Ye Dingzhi, who were sitting at the bottom, couldn't help laughing when they saw the subtle relationship between Wen Hujiu and Baili Chengfeng, the uncle-in-law.
The two looked at each other, both trying to hold back their laughter, it was so difficult!
"Good uncle, stop making fun of your brother-in-law! Zhao'er and Mr. Ye, don't be restrained. There are some Qiandongcheng specialty tea snacks, the post-rain mandarin oranges, on the table. Why not try them?"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Baili Chengfeng quickly changed the subject to avoid being laughed at again.
While everyone was drinking wine and tea, a maid came in from outside the hall and bowed to Baili Chengfeng who was in the middle:
"My Lord, Deputy General Chen outside the palace gate wants to see you. He said that the military affairs in the camp need your personal attention!"
Baili Chengfeng stood up immediately as if he had been pardoned, and bowed to everyone:
"Uncle, Zhao'er and this young friend are busy with military affairs, so we'll take our leave first. We'll have a good drink in the evening!"
He didn't even stand up from warming up the wine, but waved his hand:
"Brother-in-law, go and do your work first. I'll take Zhao'er to see his aunt later. You are not allowed to skip drinking tonight!"
"That's natural!"
Baili Chengfeng left quickly after saying a few words.
