Inside the pavilion.
She turned around and told Lupin in a low voice, “The day after tomorrow, my mother will send someone to transport the first batch of items that are not often used in our house…that have been stored in the warehouse back to Shuoyang. This time you will send them back in person and quietly tell Ji Tingyu to transport the tea that was robbed last time…towards Songkong Mountain. Someone will go to pick them up, so don’t ask any more questions, just give them to us.”
Lupin nodded: “Yes!”
She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, “Ask Ji Tingyu what else he needs. When the second batch is sent back to Shuoyang on the 26th of this month, we will prepare it for him and let him rob it.”
“Don’t worry, young lady. Lupin will definitely see to it.” Lupin said solemnly.
Looking at Lupin, whose face was already bruised, she said, “After returning to Shuoyang, Uncle Ping will probably have a harder time, so I think Uncle Ping should start…select and train some loyal and brave people, and entrust them with important tasks, so as to avoid being unable to cope with the situation in the future.”
Now, those who are loyal and capable enough are gradually being assigned. If we don’t start to train more capable people, not to mention that Bai Qingyan doesn’t have enough people here, what if Ajue, who is far away in the southern border, needs someone who is loyal and brave enough to die? What if the third sister Jintong, who is accumulating wealth for the Bai family, doesn’t have enough people? Or… what if the second sister Jinxiu, who is in the capital, needs someone who can be used without being noticed by the court and others?
It’s time to start planning for long-term employment.
Bai Qingyan originally wanted Lupin to send people to various places to recruit talents from all over the world for future use.
But recruiting talented people from all over the world is not an overnight effort, and it requires a lot of money to support it. Bai Qingyan has carefully calculated the Bai family’s foundation. Apart from what Bai Jintong took away, there is not much room for maneuver. Although Bai Qingjue has several generals of the Bai family army to help him ask the court for money, he also needs to have his own reserves.
Bai Qingyan couldn’t help but think of the Shuoyang Bai clan.
From this perspective, Bai Qingyan cannot lead the Bai family of Dadu out of the clan, but should drive the parasites out of the clan, so that… the clan can be used by her.
After all, the Dadu Bai family, the orthodox branch of the Bai family, would send half of their income back to the clan every year in order to help the clan. It was time for the clan to do something for the Bai family.
Let’s not talk about recruiting talents. Training the army on their own is a good thing to redeem the Shuoyang Bai clan from the bad image in the hearts of the people. It should not be shouldered by the Bai family alone. The clan should make efforts.
Once she had a plan in mind, she began to make arrangements.
She remembered what Xiao Rongyan said today, that Daliang and Jin would go to war soon. It seemed that Ji Tingyu had to make a big fuss before they returned to Shuoyang. The imperial court would probably be unable to send people to suppress it.
Now the Bai family is temporarily stable, and Bai Jinxiu, Bai Jintong, and Bai Qingjue all have a direction for the future.
Although Bai Qingyun still doesn’t know what the future will be like, since he has the intention to go to Sihai Pavilion in Panluo Mountain to find Gu Yijian, it means that his ambition and pride have not been broken. Bai Qingyan believes that her ninth brother is still the upright son of the Bai family.

On April 15th, Dong Changsheng got married.
Although there was a cheating case in the imperial examination this year and the winning list was not released, Dong Changsheng was unable to pass both the big and small exams. However, he still had the opportunity to take the exam again in February next year. He was not afraid of taking the exam again as he had real talent and knowledge, and his face was filled with joy as if he had encountered good news.
Dong and Bai Qingyan have been in mourning for over a hundred days, but less than three years.
Even if Bai Qingyan’s uncle Dong Qingping didn’t mind, he was afraid that his aunt Song would be unhappy if he went, so he didn’t show up in person even though the gift was there.
But Dong was Dong’s aunt after all, and even if she didn’t go, she was still thinking about Dong Changsheng’s marriage. She sent Nanny Qin to watch the ceremony, waiting for Nanny Qin to come back and tell her about Dong Changsheng’s new wife.
Bai Jinxiu was already a wife of the Qin family, and because she had to observe mourning for Qin Dezhao, she could not attend the wedding banquet, but she also sent a generous gift.
No one among the descendants of the Bai family will forget the generosity of the Dong family in helping the Bai family when they suddenly suffered a great loss.
Near the hour of Wei, a galloping horse rushed straight to the gate of the Princess Zhenguo’s mansion. A heroic and tall woman in black jumped off the maroon horse and rushed straight into the gate of the Princess Zhenguo’s mansion.
The sun was blazing, Bai Qingyan wrapped himself in sandbags, and practiced with his red tassel silver spear in the courtyard with the gate of Qinghui Court closed tightly.
Her long hair, which was tied up high at this time, was a little messy, and the strands were stuck to her red and hot cheeks and neck due to sweat, and her whole body was almost wet.
His tense arms were shaking uncontrollably, as if they were filled with heavy lead. He was wielding the silver spear in his hand with almost unparalleled willpower. His movements were strong and tough, and the spear emitted many cold shadows.
Chuntao, who was standing by with tea in her hand, saw Bai Qingyan soaked all over every day, but she still couldn’t get used to it and felt extremely distressed.
“Boom boom boom—”
Hearing someone knocking on the door of Qinghui Courtyard, the gatekeeper hurriedly ran along the corridor to the gate and asked in a low voice, “Who is it?”
“It’s me! Please tell the young lady that Shen Qingzhu…is back!”
Shen Qingzhu’s steady and clear voice came, Chuntao opened her eyes wide and looked at Bai Qingyan: “Miss! Miss Shen is back!”
Her heart tightened, she stopped stabbing, held the silver spear in her hand, turned around, and the cold silver spear tip drew a deep mark on the bluestone floor.
The gate of Qinghuiyuan slowly opened.
Shen Qingzhu raised his eyes and saw a tall figure standing in the yard.
Bai Qingyan held a spear in her hand, her thin white clothes were soaked with sweat, which tightly outlined her slender and upright figure. The sweat flowed down her chin and neck and sank into the plain collar.
Under the dazzling sunlight, Bai Qingyan, who was sweating profusely, looked radiant.
As she breathed rapidly, the hair stuck to her fair neck by sweat was stained with a layer of fine golden light. Her fierce and murderous aura made people dare not look at her closely.
Shen Qingzhu felt inexplicably sore in her eyes.
She couldn’t remember how long it had been since she last saw Bai Qingyan holding a gun or a bow.
Shen Qingzhu thought that because of her mistake, the little white general who was once invincible and brave on the battlefield would never come back.
In this life, he can still see Bai Qingyan pick up the Sun-Shooting Bow and the Red Tassel Spear. How can Shen Qingzhu not have tears in his eyes and his blood boil?
She could not forget the time when Bai Qingyan was rescuing people at Qiushan Pass. He was alone on a horse, wrapped in frost and murderous aura, and the horse’s neighing shook the sky.
She seemed to see General Xiaobai, the highly respected general of the Bai family army, riding his horse and stepping on blood, returning with the force of thunder and lightning, possessing the power of autumn frost and summer shock, the strength to move mountains and cross the seas, and he could lead them to kill the enemy and win easily.
Others don’t know what the three words “Little Bai Shuai” mean to the Bai Family Army, but Shen Qingzhu, who had fought bloody battles with Bai Qingyan in the Bai Family Army… knows!
After the death of King Zhenguo Bai Weiting and other generals of the Bai family, Little General Bai became like the black sail and white python flag of the Bai family army, able to boost the morale and enhance the prestige of the Bai family army.
