After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive
Chapter 113: Another Subordinate
Bai Ye saw that everyone's eyes were on him again.
He looked at Li Qingqing, then at Xie Xuanan, knowing that he had to give a satisfactory explanation, so he stepped forward, saluted, and said sincerely:
"Thank you, sir. I deeply apologize for offending you before. How about you treat me in the same way to calm your anger?"
"You!" Xie Xuan'an became even angrier when he heard this. He stared at Bai Ye and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.
Fortunately he could figure it out!
Was he trying to let everyone know about his embarrassment that night?
But looking at Bai Ye's sincere expression, Xie Xuan'an had to suppress the anger in his heart.
Yun Ying, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but ask, "You killed my brothers. How are we going to settle this account?"
Bai Ye was silent for a moment, then replied helplessly, "I pledged my loyalty to Mr. Liu out of helplessness. I had no choice."
Xie Xuan'an knew that what Bai Ye said made sense, but the resentment in his heart was difficult to dissipate easily.
Li Qingqing looked at Xie Xuan'an and suggested, "Bai Ye is quite good at martial arts. Why don't we let him train some new people for us and make up for his mistakes?"
Bai Ye heard this, thought for a moment, and bowed respectfully again.
"I am willing to take full responsibility for what I have done and accept any punishment, but please give me a chance. I am confident that I can train a large number of people to atone for my sins."
When Xie Xuan'an heard this, his heart moved slightly.
He had suffered from a lack of manpower before. If this person could train a large number of people, he could consider making up for his mistake.
Li Feng had just fought with Bai Ye, and he admired this man's martial arts very much, so he couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Zhou Yimo had heard Li Qingqing talk about Bai Ye before, so he stepped forward and asked, "If my wife completely removed the poison from your body right now, would you still work for her?"
When Bai Ye heard this, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
Of course he yearned for freedom, and when he was controlled by Mr. Liu, he wanted to get rid of him all the time.
But now that his mother has passed away and he is no longer under Mr. Liu's control, doing something to atone for his past sins is also a way of living.
He took a deep breath and answered firmly:
"If Miss Li can help me detoxify, I will serve her for the rest of my life."
"I can completely detoxify you right now."
Li Qingqing took out a bottle of universal detoxification pills, handed it to Bai Ye, and said seriously:
"Bai Ye! I'll only give you one chance. Take this antidote pill now and leave immediately. I promise they won't pursue any further charges against you.
But if you choose to stay, you must keep your promise and not have any second thoughts. I only need absolutely loyal subordinates to stay by my side."
Bai Ye took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation. He nodded solemnly and said:
"Miss Li, I understand. I voluntarily stay and serve you with all my heart. I will remain loyal to you until death."
Li Qingqing nodded, "Okay, in that case, you will follow Young Master Xie for the time being and be on standby at all times."
Bai Ye: “Yes!”
After resolving Bai Ye's issue, Li Qingqing looked at everyone and thought: I'm afraid I'll have to stay up late again tonight.
Sure enough, after Li Qingqing and others entered the house, Xie Xuan'an ordered someone to add tea and introduced Li Feng to Zhou An and Li Qingqing, as if he intended the party to last for a while.
Li Qingqing drank tea while listening to Li Feng and Xie Xuan'an talking.
"General Li, what brings you here this time?" Xie Xuan'an asked with a smile.
Through Xie Xuanan's introduction, Li Feng already knew that everyone was his own, so he no longer avoided it.
"The Emperor has appointed the Third Prince, Mu Yunjing, as Prince of Qing and granted him Nanqing Prefecture as his fiefdom. The envoy announcing the decree is the Minister of Revenue. I am here to escort Prince of Qing and the Minister of Revenue to Qiushui Town."
"Oh, they have also arrived in Qiu Shui Town now?" Xie Xuan'an was a little surprised.
The southern part of Dayuan Kingdom all belonged to Nanqingzhou, so the bestowal of the title was expected, but no one expected Mu Yunjing to come to Qiu Shui Town so soon.
"Exactly. They have settled down now and are expected to visit at noon today."
"Oh, so the Minister of Revenue came here this time because of his daughter?" Xie Xuan'an asked again.
No wonder they were in such a hurry to get on the road. The Minister of Revenue must have been extremely anxious.
Xie Xuan'an thought of Xier whom he met at Zhou's house, and thought that it would take some effort to bring her back.
Li Feng nodded in response. Then, he looked at Zhou An and said with a smile:
"What a coincidence! The girl you two took in is none other than the daughter of the Minister of Revenue."
"We already know about this." Zhou An responded with a smile. Then, he instructed Yun Ying who was standing beside him,
"Yunying, Changshun and Shitou both know you. Please go to the Zhou family in Lihua Village in person and have Changshun and Shitou take Xier to Qiushui Town. Tell them that my wife is looking for her. This matter must be kept secret."
"Yes!" Yunying left immediately.
Seeing Zhou An arrange the matter properly, Li Feng secretly praised him. After a pause, he continued:
"The last time I went back with His Royal Highness Prince Qing, we encountered assassinations from the Eastern Palace Guards. Fortunately, Miss Li gave us the antidote pills, and we made it back to the Protectorate without any danger.
The Crown Prince once again interfered with the Emperor's proposal, claiming that Nanqing Province was rich in resources and that granting it to Prince Qing was a great favor. He proposed that Nanqing Province pay three times more tax to the court each year, starting this year, as a token of loyalty and contribution to the royal family. Fortunately, the Emperor was wise and did not adopt his proposal.
When Xie Xuanan heard this, he immediately shouted angrily:
"The Crown Prince is truly despicable! Why doesn't he mention that Nanqing Province has been at war for years, and the people are suffering terribly? Isn't Nanqing Province's wilderness enough? He's also demanding triple the taxes? Is he trying to provoke a rebellion?"
Xie Xuan'an's business ventures are spread all over the country, and he knows best where the prosperity is and where the desolation is.
Yuntai County is so poor, how much better can other counties be?
The more Xie Xuanan thought about it, the angrier he became. His narrow, long peach blossom eyes were stained with anger, and he continued:
"Although the south is rich in resources, it is also a region that various countries fight for! The Crown Prince previously threatened the Minister of Revenue, forcing him to withhold grain. If Brother Zhou hadn't accidentally saved Xier, how would our soldiers have fought when food and fodder were scarce on the border?
General Li, you know best. Your father, General Li, has guarded the frontier for seventeen years and never dared to return home. If it weren't for him, the enemy would have already razed our territory!
The Crown Prince is so determined to kill Brother Yun Jing, isn't he afraid that the Great Abyss Kingdom will be destroyed in his hands?"
Li Feng was silent. How could he not know?
Seventeen years ago, my mother had just given birth to my younger sister when my father hurried to the border. At that time, Aunt Zheng was also about to give birth. My father was worried that no one would take care of the young boy, so he entrusted his best friend to send him to a master to learn skills for seventeen years.
My father was loyal to his duty. Even when my younger sister disappeared and my mother died of depression, he never dared to go home.
The prince actually disregarded the safety of the country for his own selfish interests.
There was a flame burning in Li Feng's heart.
Xie Xuanan spoke passionately, and Li Qingqing was also indignant. She couldn't help but say:
"Your Highness, this action is tantamount to severing one's own tendons and veins. Although I am a woman, I understand that in the face of national affairs, we should join hands to resist foreign enemies. For the sake of the people's peace, my husband and I will do our best!"
If the country does not exist, how can the family be a home?
Now that she has lost her home, where can she go to live her leisurely pastoral life?
