Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1390 So, let’s get started

Liu Yao nodded: "Zhang Jingkun has been here, but he has long been under house arrest by the king."

Bai Ming chuckled: "Your Highness, what do you think of Zhang Jingkun's behavior?"

Liu Yao answered without hesitation: "He has his own standpoint, which also represents the standpoints of many people."

Bai Ming nodded slightly and added: "His position is indeed clear and straightforward, and it is also the position that most people in the court would advocate."

"But on the other hand, in the process of advocating his position, he disagreed with His Highness's political views, and he was 'weak' and could not confront His Highness head-on. Even if the epidemic got out of control, the higher-ups would not punish him for trying hard but being powerless."

Liu Yao concluded: "Is he trying to protect himself?"

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "If Your Highness listens to his advice, then this advice is in line with the ideas of the majority of people in the court and will not be wrong."

"But His Highness did not listen to his advice and instead placed him under house arrest. If something goes wrong, he will not be held responsible."

Liu Yao was silent for a moment, then said, "It was my fault for not considering it carefully."

Bai Mingwei shook his head: "Your Highness is not wrong, and will not be wrong, because Your Highness is the master, and he can have his own sense of right and wrong within the scope of moral ethics and the general trend."

"Your Highness is unwilling to give up on anyone, and this decision will definitely not be wrong. Because this is Your Highness's benevolence, and it is also the original intention that Your Highness adheres to, and it is also the meaning of our current stay in Jiangbei."

After a pause, Bai Mingwei continued:

"The ups and downs of officialdom can lead to one's death and loss if one is not careful. It is a necessary skill for every official to protect himself and survive."

"It's not just Zhang Jingkun. There are many such officials in the court. In addition to those who try to protect themselves, there are also those who try to take advantage of others' misfortunes."

"So the problem we are facing is not just the epidemic, but also the various problems brought about by the epidemic."

Liu Yao suddenly realized something, and he gave Bai Mingwei a very firm answer:

"General, not giving up on anyone is the meaning of our being here. We should also make decisions based on trade-offs when necessary."

Bai Mingwei responded: "Just as your highness said."

Liu Yao cleared the fog and looked more determined: "If there is a problem, we will solve it. This is what we have always done."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "Exactly."

Liu Yao smiled and looked around: "Why is Military Advisor Feng not here?"

Bai Mingwei did not hide it: "He went to pick up the fifth brother."

Liu Yao nodded: "Post-disaster reconstruction cannot be neglected. The Fifth Young Master's arrival is very necessary. I hope he can arrive safely."

Bai Ming smiled slightly: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Ending the topic, Bai Mingwei looked into the distance, his eyes gradually becoming more emotional.

Fifth brother, please be safe.

……

At the same time, Bai Jing and his group traveled day and night without stopping, and were finally about to enter the Jiangbei area.

There was no smooth sailing and no setbacks along the way.

But at this moment, the guards stopped the team.

Bai Jing was particularly alert: "What's the matter?"

The guard responded in a low voice: "Fifth Master, there is a tail."

Bai Jing asked: "When did you get attached? Do you know the other party's information?"

The guard replied respectfully: "My Lord, our number should not be large, but their strength is definitely above all of us. If they were discovered by our subordinates, I'm afraid they did it on purpose."

Bai Jing frowned slightly: "Since you are so powerful and not afraid of us, why don't you take action? If you don't take action, why do you let us find out?" The guard shook his head: "My lord, I don't know."

Bai Jing analyzed: "Our trip is confidential. Since someone followed us but did not reveal his identity, it is very likely that he is an enemy rather than a friend."

The guard asked, "Fifth Master, how should we deal with this?"

Bai Jing asked back: "If you were asked to follow the enemy but not kill him, what do you think would be the reason?"

The guard gave his own answer: "Maybe the timing is not right, or maybe there are other purposes."

Bai Jing made a prompt decision: "This place is secluded and sparsely populated, it is the best time to kill and burn, but they did not take action, they must have other purposes."

"Since we have been targeted by an expert, it is difficult for us to escape. The only way is to fight to the death to avoid falling into the trap of others."

"Set up camp here. We need to find a way to lure the enemy out and then kill them, so as to destroy the enemy's plot."

The guards quickly set up the tent and started a fire.

"Fifth Master, since they are not in a hurry to attack, you can take a rest. I just saw some pheasants in the bushes, so I will go and hunt them for a snack."

Bai Jing stopped the guards and said, "No, except for the food and water we brought, you are not allowed to drink anything else."

The guard thought his master was being too cautious: "Fifth Master, I don't think anything will happen, please rest assured."

Bai Jing's attitude was particularly firm: "Just follow orders, and don't be careless and cause trouble for Mingwei."

The guard responded respectfully: "Yes, sir."

Bai Jing didn't say much, but slowly threw dry branches into the fire in front of him.

So the group of people sat by the fire in front of them, took out the dry food and water they had brought with them, and ate while they rested.

Their horses were fed with the food they carried on their backs.

Bai Jing is careful and takes strict precautions.

If the opponent's strength is not above theirs, it will be difficult to find a breakthrough point.

At this time.

In a hidden place not far from them, two men in black were observing the movements in front of them.

Their figures almost blended into the shadows.

But those sharp eyes were filled with a chilling coldness.

One of them stared at the pheasant crawling under the bushes with regret and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect Bai Jing to be so alert."

The person standing in front of him responded slowly, "It's useless to teach people a thousand times. If you teach people through experience, you will learn it once. Bai Jing is like 'once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years'."

He seemed to be in a slightly higher position, giving orders to the people behind him.

The first person to speak was worried:
"Master, I'm afraid we won't be able to find the right time to strike. The master has ordered us not to kill anyone and to make sure this group of people bring the poison to Bai Mingwei. This is going to be difficult."

The leader sneered: "It's good that he is cautious. The more cautious a person is, the louder he will cry when he fails. Because they will regret it. How could they fall into the trap even though they were so careful!"

The man was a little surprised: "Oh? So you already have a solution?"

The leader responded: "It seems that Bai Mingwei is really short of money. Bai Jing did not bring enough guards with him when he went out this time."

"Let's first deal with the ten secret guards who are protecting us, and then we can attack the real lord. The master only said that we must not harm their lives, but he did not say that we must not let them survive until they reach their destination."

The man smiled knowingly: "Chapter 1390 In this case, let's do it."
