Chapter 169
The sword practice with Qitong continued until the dark sky, if it wasn't for Xiaoyin who couldn't see it and came out to stop him, Gu Bainan would probably be able to practice until dawn the next day.

Panting for breath, she casually threw the sword in her hand on the ground, and said to Qitong: "I will give you a day off tomorrow." Then she entered the bedroom, and even the dinner that Xiaoyin brought was left behind by her. on the cold stone table.

The two maids outside and Shi Dong looked at each other, and Xiao Yin couldn't help asking: "Is the princess having a quarrel with the prince?"

Apart from the prince, she really couldn't think of anyone else who could make the princess sulk.

Shidong shook his head, expressing that he was not clear.

He is just a shadow guard on duty in the backyard, and there is really no way to know the things outside the backyard in such a timely manner.

The three of them were silent for a moment, Shidong took back his saber and hid in the darkness again, while Xiaoyin and Qitong stood guard directly outside Gu Bainan's door.Although they won't say anything to the concubine, at least they are here, and if the concubine needs anything, they can immediately satisfy it.

However, instead of waiting for Gu Bainan, they waited for a person who rarely came to the backyard.

"Master White."

Xiaoyin and Qitong bowed politely to Bai Li who stepped into the backyard.

Bai Li came in with a jug of wine, glanced at the cold dinner on the stone table, walked over quietly, put down the jug, and sat down on the stone bench.

"Xiaoyin, do you have a cup?" His voice was just like his own, so peaceful that it seemed that emotions and desires did not exist in him.

Xiaoyin blinked blankly, would Mr. Bai want to take the cold dinner of the princess to the bar?

She walked over and picked up the whole wooden table where the dinner was placed: "Yes, I'll go and get some snacks for you."

As she said that, she wanted to take the wooden case away, but Bai Li pressed the wooden case down with one hand: "No, this is fine."

Xiaoyin turned her head, her eyes met Qitong again, why did she feel like something big happened today?
Qitong naturally received Xiaoyin's gaze, she nodded secretly, and went down with Xiaoyin, the two of them brought a cup to Bai Li, and then stood silently to the side and stared at him.

God, can someone come and tell them what happened?The princess was sulking as soon as she came back, and Mr. Bai actually brought a jug of wine and wanted to take the princess's dinner appetizers. This is simply unreasonable!

Bai Li ignored the two girls, just sat there and poured a glass of wine, and started to drink.

Gu Bainan could hear the movement outside clearly in the dormitory.She knew that Bai Li came here to calm her emotions on behalf of Jun Yinuo, but after sitting quietly in the bedroom for a while, she still couldn't help getting up, pushing open the door and going out.

"Bring me another cup."

Gu Bainan sat down opposite Bai Li, and said something lightly.

"Ah?" Xiaoyin opened her mouth wide in bewilderment, Qitong quickly stretched out her hand and tugged at her sleeve, and then she blinked quickly, and hurried down to get the cup after saying "oh".

When the wine glass was placed in front of Gu Bainan, Gu Bainan said again: "It's none of your business, let's all go down."

What?The princess wants to drink with Mr. Bai?This is incredible!This matter is so blatant, the prince will definitely know soon!Even if the princess quarrels with the prince, she doesn't have to be so angry with the prince, right?

Xiaoyin and Qitong looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't dare to move their steps casually.At least if the prince comes, they can still prove it for the princess.

How could Gu Bainan not know what the two girls were thinking, but she was open-minded and never afraid of any doubts, so she continued: "Do you not hear or do you not understand?"

Hearing this, Xiaoyin and Qitong looked at each other before leaving in response.

In the backyard full of cool winter night, only Gu Bainan and Bai Li were left sitting opposite each other.

Although Bai Li was also polite this time, he felt a little more at ease than usual. After drinking two glasses of wine, he looked at Gu Bainan and asked softly, "I wonder if I can borrow Wuya again from Wangfei?"

Wu Ya is the quail egg jade pendant that Mu Hua left for Gu Bainan.

For this request, Gu Bainan did not refuse, but quietly took off the purse from his waist and handed it over.

Mu Hua's Wu Ya, she always carries it with her.

"Thank you, Princess." Bai Li took the purse, took out Wu Ya from inside, looked at it, then held Wu Ya to the crescent moon covered by Qing Yun, and said as if talking to himself, "Wu Ya It must be a pair, but the concubine and her subordinate Wu Ya have never been able to find the other one."

Seeing him using Wu Ya as the beginning of a peacemaker, Gu Bainan smiled: "Why did Mr. Bai think of it today and use the moonlight to sigh Wu Ya?"

Bai Li knew that as soon as he came, she knew the reason for his visit, but he still had a calm expression, handed the word "Hua" to Gu Bainan, and said, "Princess, would you like to hear a story from my subordinate?"

"En." Gu Bainan took Wu Ya and held it in his hand.

She was just angry with Jun Yinuo's distrust and concealment of her, so she would not let her emotions affect other people, even Bai Li and Gaefeng.

Seeing her waiting to hear the story as if nothing had happened at the moment, Bai Li took a slow breath: "Princess Wang, do you still remember that my subordinate once said that there is an old man in this subordinate, and there is also a Chinese character on his Wu Ya?"

He didn't intend to wait for Gu Bainan's answer to this question, and he continued on as soon as he said it: "His name is Bai Hua, and when he was four years old, he and his subordinates worshiped under the master's school. He is learning guns. Master gave us a pair of Wu Ya, and we have been on the mountain, although we often talk about the world below the mountain, but we never go down the mountain."

Speaking of which, Bai Li poured another glass of wine, drank half of it, and looked at the crystal clear wine in the glass: "Then one day, he missed the morning class and did not practice marksmanship in the back mountain. Master, the master only said that he went down the mountain, and did not say anything else. Until the death of the master, there were no clues about him. After the subordinates buried the master, they encountered wars when they went down the mountain. The village at the foot of the mountain was almost destroyed. After the flames of war were all over, this subordinate met the prince at that time and was appreciated by him, so this subordinate can stay in Prince Qin's mansion."

While drinking, Bai Li talked about his past cryptically. Although he looked calm as if he was telling someone else's story, Gu Bainan could still see how important that part of the past was to Bai Li. How important Hua people are to Bai Li.

She looked at Wu Ya in her hand, and said, "When Wu Ya comes out, there must be a pair. There is always one of these things that can lead you to Bai Hua."

Bai Li nodded with a smile, "I've been looking for so many years, and although there's no news, it's not a bad idea to keep it in mind." After he finished speaking, he shook his head mockingly, "Sorry, I'm talking too much. .”
