incense as a medium

Chapter 138 Timing
Liu Bailu wondered: "Is this not good? It would be bad if people think that I am a cruel and merciless person. What's more, your Fujin is still the daughter of your father's confidant. If you treat her like this, you are not afraid that your father will treat you badly." Opinion?"

The beauty frowned, as if the mountains and rivers had lost their color, Potala stepped forward and knelt down in front of Liu Bailu's table, and said: "It's okay, I'll protect you, it's okay. Just don't worry. "

Liu Bailu stretched his eyebrows, looked at him trustingly and nodded, then covered his mouth and yawned.

The most obvious hint made Potala feel a little unhappy, but when he thought of the long days to come, he got up and said: "I'll go first, so you can rest, and tomorrow I will ask someone to cook a stove outside."

"Okay, thank you." Liu Bailu nodded, without any intention of getting up to see him off.

Potala turned and left in frustration.

The heavy curtain fell, and Liu Bailu's face turned cold: "This Potala is cruel, so you have to be careful in the future." She turned to look at Du Shuang, and said, "If he comes in the future , I'll deal with it, you don't care what he says, just ignore it."

"Why?" Du Shuang didn't understand.

Liu Bailu said solemnly: "You are in the capital now. Although your captivity happened at the border today, if you don't keep it and spread it in the future, it will damage your reputation. Fortunately, you brought these girls here. In the future, if someone Let’s talk about this matter, you didn’t lose it alone, so naturally you are not afraid, but if you and Potala Xu get involved, it will be bad for your reputation in the future.”

"What about you?" Du Shuang asked. After living here for more than ten years, and in the capital for three years, she knows how important those gossips and the shackles of moral rules are to a woman. Even if nothing happened, her life would be ruined if she was kidnapped and left.

Liu Bailu smiled lightly, and said, "My husband trusts me, that's enough."

Du Shuang was slightly moved. Even in the age of openness after a thousand years, there are very few men who don't care about those gossips. The vast majority of men even play with all the women before marriage, and then marry a wife as white as paper. .

In this era when chastity is far more important than life, how lucky is it to have a husband and son-in-law like this?
The next day when Liu Bailu came together, she heard the commotion outside. She asked Du Shuang's maid to go out to inquire, and Potala really did what she said, and had Jiawen beaten all over her body with bruises, and then hung it on the flagpole for public display. .

Sure enough, he was not killed.

Liu Bailu thought a little regretfully.

Sure enough, a small stove was set up outside the tent, and the dishes were all seasoned, and even the water tank was filled with water.

Liu Bailu looked at Miss Zhu with a smile and said earnestly: "I can't trust others in this place, can you help us cook?"

Xu Shi has long been used to serving Liu Bailu, and Miss Zhu nodded without hesitation: "Okay, sister, don't worry."

After breakfast, Potala brought the witch doctor over in person, and showed everyone one by one. After making sure that nothing happened, Potala was relieved and hurried away.Liu Bailu didn't care either, she asked someone for a needle and thread and came over to embroider with Du Shuang.

Le Yan couldn't sit still, she clamored to go out to play as soon as she opened her eyes, but Liu Bailu couldn't persuade her, so she asked Miss Zhu to take Le Ru and Le Yan out to play. He pointed to the two girls and followed them out.

Before noon, Potala lifted the curtain and came in. Seeing the two men embroidering, he looked at them curiously for a while before saying, "My royal father wants to see you."

Liu Bailu didn't raise his head and said, "That's your father, what did I see him do?"

I came to invite him personally, but this woman didn't show any face, Potala pulled his face and said: "This is my father, if you want to live a stable life in the Dayan Department, you should go and see him."

Liu Bailu glanced at him, and said: "Those who hate me, even if I see me, I can't change his perception of me, maybe it will only increase his dislike of me, why should I meet?"

"How can you be sure that my father hates you before seeing you?" Potala frowned.

Liu Bailu smiled lightly, and said: "The daughter of his most trusted minister was beaten because of me. Do you think I can make him like me? What's more, we Han people have a saying that beauty is a curse, and I'm afraid that in your father's eyes Here, I am the water of disaster, he must get rid of it for his son so that he can feel at ease."

Liu Bailu said lightly, but Potala was extremely shocked. Just now when he mentioned Liu Bailu to his father, the meaning in his father's words was just that!He clenched his fists and looked at Liu Bailu. For the first time, he felt that the woman in front of him was not simple!
Seeing Potala's leaving back, Du Shuang leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Is it really possible that Da Mo will kill us?"

"Yeah." Liu Bailu nodded: "So we have to be careful from now on."

"Then, quickly get Le Yan and Le Ru back?" Du Shuang became a little flustered.

Liu Bailu shook his head and said, "Da Mo is a hero, but any hero would disdain to do such a thing of killing people's children."

"Didn't he send people to assassinate people from other tribes a few years ago?" Du Shuang said disapprovingly.

Liu Bailu said with a slight smile: "This is different. We are now a dish on his plate, and we can't fly out anyway. It will be criticized if we use a child to make a fuss. Da Mo will not do such a thing."

"Then you are not afraid of revenge from Jiawen's father?" Du Shuang asked.

"Potala sent someone to follow." Liu Bailu blinked and said with a smile.

Her smile was meaningful, but Du Shuang didn't understand it at first. At night, when she heard that Jiawen's father was sent by the Potala family to a remote place to guard the pasture, she admired Liu Bailu's courage and thoughtfulness.

Seeing the sleeping faces of the two children, Liu Bailu's eyes showed some distress: "If Potala hadn't sent people to follow them today, they might have been murdered. I really don't want to gamble with them."

"You!" Du Shuang looked at Liu Bailu dumbfounded.

"Really? Are you scared?" Liu Bailu smiled, and the bitterness and grievance in his eyes could no longer be hidden: "This kind of life is too tiring, I still like the life of the first two years, guarding my two children, and doing nothing think."

"No, what if the two children have an accident? Haven't you thought about it?" Du Shuang asked repeatedly, this is too risky!Take two children as bait.

Liu Bailu chuckled lightly, with an unconcealable radiance and confidence in his eyes: "I've been thinking about this along the way, every word I said and everything I did after I came here, Potala's Personality, I have evolved countless personalities of everyone around Potala in my mind. How should I deal with each character and how to speak will be beneficial to me. The first time I saw Potala, I carefully observed his character. Quickly pick out the one that is most beneficial to me from the previously evolved scenarios..."

Du Shuang was dumbfounded when Liu Bailu talked eloquently. How could there be such a person? "We hadn't seen Potala at that time, how did you confirm it was him?"

Liu Bailu smiled and said, "Have you forgotten? You and I were besieged by people from Potala a few years ago, and some of them had the same eyebrows and eyes as some of the men in black a few days ago, so I'm sure it's him. As for Budala Dara's character, my husband has told me many things about Potala in the past few years, from which he analyzed his character and how he behaves, that's why I'm so thoughtful." She shrugged and said with a smile: "I act impulsively, and my mind is slow, so many things have to be thought about many times before I dare to act. I have suffered a lot from this personality before. It was not until later that I knew how to distinguish a person and how to communicate with him. Hide yourself."

but……

This is too bold...

Du Shuang opened her mouth, but the unfinished words were contained in her mouth and she didn't say it again.

That night.

Shi Ce sneaked into Qi Peiyun's tent, sat down across from him, picked up the teapot, poured it into his mouth, wiped his mouth for the last time and sighed: "Your daughter-in-law is really bold, if I wasn't here today, your daughters It’s really going to be a disaster.”

Qi Peiyun's face moved slightly, and he sighed immediately: "She is always so bold, not to mention knowing that you are following, so she is more at ease."

"It's just that Ms. Du was implicated for no reason." Shi Ce scratched his head, looked at the flagon in front of Qi Peiyun and swallowed: "You know it's not convenient for me to drink at this time, but you still drink in front of me, you really are !"

"Okay, come back quickly. We can start in three days or five days." Qi Peiyun raised his glass and said with a smile.

Shi Ce grabbed the roasted golden and crispy leg of lamb and took a few bites, stuffed a few big pancakes into his arms, stood up and said, "Did you find it?"

"Well, I went there in person, so it's safe. Now that thing has been sent to Beijing, when we do it here, the imperial decree from Beijing will also arrive." Qi Peiyun thought about the time in his mind.

It would only take a few days to expedite the [-] miles from Beijing to the border, not to mention that he had two thousand-mile horses in his hand, and he could shorten the journey by more than two days.

"Sure, then I'll go back. By the way, do you still need to tell sister-in-law?" Shi Ce asked.

"No, she knows." Qi Peiyun toasted Shi Ce from a distance, but did not get up to see him off.

"Damn!" Smelling the mellow aroma of wine, Shi Ce stamped his feet and turned to leave.

If it was true what Liu Bailu said, after Jiawen's father and cronies were transferred away, no one would bother her anymore, and even Damo Khan turned a blind eye to Liu Bailu as if they were transparent.

Potala came to talk to Liu Bailu from time to time, although Liu Bailu ignored him, but he never stopped coming to find the beauty, and he stuck to Liu Bailu's side all day long.

Liu Bailu didn't care either. When he came over, she would give him a few words of support, and most of the time, she followed the two children around the entire Dayan Department.

Five days later, [-] days had passed since Liu Bailu was taken into captivity. Although there were delicious food and drinks here, Du Shuang still lost a lot of weight, not to mention those maids who had never seen these big scenes. It's as thin as a piece of paper, and it will fall when the wind blows.

The closer to summer, the clearer the sky on the prairie. However, on this day, the cloudless sky ushered in a cloud of blackness, and the wind howled and rolled up the clouds to cover the prairie. The sky and the earth became dark in an instant, and in the evening, it began to rain overwhelmingly.

Liu Bailu raised the curtain and looked at the torrential rain outside, squinting his eyes.

The time has come.
