After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Chapter 230 Do you recognize this thing?

Li Qingqing sat in the hall drinking tea, patiently waiting for Zhou Yimo to treat Bai Ye's injuries.

After drinking a cup of tea, the temperature of her fingertips gradually returned to normal.

She was really anxious just now!

Li Qingqing shook her head secretly, thinking that she must have owed Bai Ye in her previous life.

"City Lord!" Yun Su rushed in excitedly. "Our Qingfeng Pavilion's intelligence department is extremely efficient. We received two pieces of news in quick succession today!"

Li Qingqing put down the teacup, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes, "Oh? Tell me, what's the news?"

"The first piece of news is what you specifically asked me to find out. The Northern Territory arrived at Feiyun City the day before yesterday. It is said that City Lord Qiu is extremely brave and the Northern Territory has already been defeated in their siege!"

Li Qingqing felt relieved immediately after hearing this.

Previously, Xie Xuan'an and Wu Meng both said that Feiyun City is now impregnable, and Xuanyue will personally provide financial resources and materials, so she doesn't have to worry.

It turned out that she was worrying too much.

"Another piece of news is that someone from the capital is expected to arrive within the next two days."

Without waiting for Li Qingqing to ask, Yun Su quickly said,

"The Border Patrol Envoy was Zhang Haoyi, the Assistant Minister of War. Originally, there was a deputy envoy, Qian Tu. He was very slow, always wanting to eat, drink, and plunder wherever he went. Fortunately, Qingfeng Pavilion managed to stop him, and he didn't follow us."

Yun Su told Li Qingqing the news conveyed by Qingfeng Pavilion in detail.

After hearing this, Li Qingqing immediately sent Yun Su to invite the Imperial Master.

At the beginning, she had little contact with court officials and did not know the details of this border patrol envoy. It seemed that Wu Meng might have heard of him.

"The Border Patrol Envoy is Zhang Haoyi? I've met him a few times, but we're not close friends."

Wu Meng did understand something. He thought for a moment and then said, "It's rumored that this person is quite upright and steady, but the rumors may not be true."

"No problem, we'll see what happens when the time comes."

Since the rumors are good, it must not be too bad.

If it was Deputy Envoy Qian who came, he would definitely be in cahoots with Protector General Wei, and who knows how much trouble would arise by then.

The identity of the imperial envoy has been confirmed, and Wu Meng is relieved.

He discussed with Li Qingqing, "I was planning to say goodbye to you. I'll leave early tomorrow morning."

"Oh!" Li Qingqing was a little surprised, "Returning to the Imperial Master's Mansion?"

"There will be a grand sacrificial ceremony at the end of the year, and we need to make arrangements in advance." Wu Meng smiled and nodded. "Also, I'll be waiting for you in the capital."

Li Qingqing suddenly realized that she had stayed in the border city for a long time, and before she knew it, it was less than two months away from the end of the year.

"Okay, I'll send someone to take you there! See you in our city someday!"

Li Qingqing didn't hesitate. She would leave after the matter in Border City was completed.

But she will not enter the capital for the time being. Her military achievements have already earned the freedom of Hu Dabao and others. The court is unlikely to reward her, so she is likely not to go to the palace to receive rewards.

However, it doesn’t matter whether you have military achievements or not.

She claimed that Hu Dabao and the others were temporary workers, but in her heart she still considered them her own people. How could she regret using her military exploits to save her own people?

She always has a special feeling for her own people, whether it is Hu Dabao, Bai Ye, or Wu Meng and others.

Li Qingqing's eyes fell on Wu Meng's half-white hair. Thinking about the unknown time they would see each other again, she couldn't help but ask the question hidden in her heart,

"Will this forbidden spell continue to backfire?"

If I don't ask, what if Wu Meng suddenly...

"No." Wu Meng smiled and shook his head, "This technique is complete. It won't backfire on me anymore."

"Why do you suddenly look much older after entering this space?" Li Qingqing asked worriedly.

She really didn't believe what Wu Meng said. After all, she saw Wu Meng suddenly grow old in front of her eyes.

Wu Meng touched his nose, paused for a moment, and then confessed somewhat unnaturally.

"This space was created by my magic. I cannot enter my own magic, otherwise I will suffer backlash."

Li Qingqing: "..."

After all this time, it turned out that the space inheritance she had in the later generations was done by Wu Meng. No wonder the space was unstable from time to time.

"How can I untie myself from this space?" Li Qingqing asked with a frown.

If he doesn't untie it, what will happen if Wu Meng is attacked again one day? If he continues to age like this, he will really die soon!

"It cannot be untied. As long as you are alive, the space will always follow you." Wu Meng smiled unnaturally.

"This is good, and it's also good for storage."

Li Qingqing: "...and those books and seeds in the space are also related to you?"

Since you've asked this many questions, you might as well get to the bottom of it.

"Yes, I remember you said that when the war was over, you would go home and live a leisurely pastoral life. But I know you are not good at farming, so..."

Wu Meng didn't say anything else, but Li Qingqing understood...

By the way, throw her some books and a bunch of seeds and let her practice farming!

This is a good thing. Dayuan has been in war for years and the people are living in hardship. Seeds are hope.

However, when she thought of Wu Meng's crazy appearance in later generations and saw his normal appearance in front of her, Li Qingqing always felt that something was wrong.

She looked at Wu Meng suspiciously, "You brought me back, don't you have other motives?"

Wu Meng was stunned and was about to explain when Zhou Yimo and Bai Ye walked in.

Wu Meng breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's first ask Bai Ye's mother if she knows Bai Shuang."

"Okay!" Li Qingqing nodded. She should have asked about this a long time ago, but she never found the opportunity.

Li Qingqing looked at Bai Ye who was walking over, and saw that his complexion had basically recovered and there was nothing abnormal about his legs and feet. She immediately felt relieved.

Li Qingqing looked at Bai Ye, "Where is your mother now?"

Bai Ye had come prepared to answer every question, but he didn't expect Li Qingqing to ask this...

His expression was gloomy, and he lowered his head in thought for a while, "She passed away."

"Dead?" Li Qingqing frowned and guessed.

"It was Protector Wei who killed her, so you assassinated Protector Wei to avenge your mother?"

Bai Ye shook his head. "She was murdered by Mr. Liu. I asked you for a few days' leave to take care of her."

Li Qingqing recalled briefly and realized that this was indeed the case. At that time, Bai Ye killed Liu Yuanwai, and she took Bai Ye as her subordinate. Bai Ye did ask her for a few days of leave.

"You are such a martial arts expert, why were you controlled by Mr. Liu with poison?" Li Qingqing asked again.

In fact, she had wanted to ask this question before, but she was just too embarrassed to ask it.

"Mr. Liu captured my mother and forced me to take poison." Bai Ye lowered his eyes and answered honestly.

"At that time, I let Young Master Xie go, and Mr. Liu locked me up because the account books were stolen. That's when I accidentally learned that he had killed my mother."

Bai Ye spoke concisely, as if he was narrating someone else's story. His voice was calm, yet one could feel his pain.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqing looked at Bai Ye thoughtfully.

It turns out that Bai Ye did not betray his former master, but had a hidden secret. Fortunately, he killed Mr. Liu, otherwise she and Mr. Xie would be in danger.

But his mother is dead, so who can he ask about Bai Shuang's whereabouts?

Bai Ye felt a little uneasy when he saw Li Qingqing not saying anything but just staring at him.

The master hasn't said he wants to punish him yet, but he asks so many questions. I don't know what's going on.

"Is this sword something your mother used often before? Does your mother know martial arts?" Wu Meng interrupted and asked.

Bai Ye glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"Yes, she was originally a martial artist, but Lord Wei caused her to lose her martial arts skills, which is why she was later killed by Mr. Liu."

Bai Ye was a little confused. Why did he ask these questions?

He remembered that his mother had repeatedly told him to keep his sword away. Could there be something wrong with the sword?

Li Qingqing looked at Bai Ye in confusion, still unwilling to give up and asked, "Does your mother have a good friend named Bai Shuang?"

"No, my mother doesn't have any good friends and doesn't like to socialize with others." Bai Ye shook his head.

Li Qingqing and Wu Meng looked at each other, this was strange.

Could it be...

Suddenly, Li Qingqing thought of something, and she took out a gilded hairpin.

"Do you recognize this thing?"

Bai Ye looked up at the gilded hairpin and asked in confusion, "This is my mother's old thing, why is it here with you?"
