Chapter 318: The Supervisor Tells the Story
What happened during those three days was told to Wen Baizhi after Si Jiu's condition improved a little.
At that time, Wen Baizhi was carefully supporting Si Jiu as he walked on the floor of the room.
"You didn't drink enough water just now, but if you drink more, I'm afraid you'll vomit, so try to walk more now, okay? After all, it's probably not realistic for you to jump in your current physical condition."
It’s not that Wen Baizhi looked down on Si Jiu, but it’s true that his body is too weak.
At this moment, Si Jiu's pain in his lower abdomen and thighs was much less than before, so he could support himself and walk around.
The first thing he did after he was able to get up was to ask Wen Baizhi to get some hot water so that he could wash up.
After all, he hadn't had a proper shower for three days, and he was not satisfied with the way he felt at the moment.
When wiping his face, Wen Baizhi didn't even let him use the handkerchief himself. Instead, she squeezed out all the water and then carefully wiped his face and hands.
After everything was done, Si Jiu started to move around.
But as he was walking, he would suddenly stop where he was.
At this time, Wen Baizhi would also stop behind him and ask with concern: "Is it hurting more?"
Si Jiu comforted him: "It hurts a little, but it's okay, I can still bear it."
After resting for a while, he continued walking.
"During the three days you were away, I have basically prepared everything we will need later, but for now I have only prepared the supplies that we might need to go to Yunzhou. If we leave Yunzhou and go somewhere else, we can prepare them directly from Yunzhou. This will also make it convenient for us to travel light and reduce some trouble."
Wen Baizhi slowly told Si Jiu everything she had done in the past three days in detail.
Her purpose is to let Si Jiu know that he will be included in all her future plans.
"You don't know, you haven't been back for such a long time, I was actually very worried, but I couldn't show it in front of Ping An and the others, otherwise, what would happen if we were all in chaos? But I was still worried about you, and wanted to know your news, so I found Fifteen and asked him to help me find out the news in the palace. By the way, did you see Fifteen when you were in the palace?"
Si Jiu replied: "I haven't seen him. Maybe he is hiding somewhere that is not easy to be found. Although the princess is also trapped in the palace, she has not suffered much. Chidu has prepared a room for her and is still polite to her."
Wen Baizhi was unhappy: "So they didn't prepare a room for you, right? Don't try to hide it from me. You didn't even change your clothes or wash up. I can tell what you went through in those three days just by thinking about it."
Si Jiu smiled and said, "I didn't intend to hide it from you, but I can't hide it anyway."
Wen Baizhi: "So why did Chidu want to trap you all in the palace this time and not let you out?"
Si Jiu then told her about Chi Du's unreasonable demands.
Wen Baizhi was a general who had fought against Chi Du before, so he was furious when he heard this: "How dare they do this? We have brought so many things that they can't even get, and they still have the nerve to ask for them? We really gave them face. If you ask me, we should have insisted on fighting at that time. What are you talking about? Qi Yan'an is really getting more and more cowardly."
At least at that time, more than three years ago, everyone talked about Chi Du with disdain.
It's just a very small place. Dacheng can just send some people there to beat them to their knees and beg for mercy.
But in just over three years, Qi Yan'an had already reached the point where he needed to marry a princess far away.
It's really disdainful.
"I think the same as you, and this loophole cannot be easily opened. If it is opened, their demands will only increase. Now they are taking advantage of the fact that we have sent the princess here, thinking that they can control us, so they are so unscrupulous."
As expected, these matters involving political intrigues still require Si Jiu’s analysis.
Wen Baizhi continued to listen with her ears tilted: "So why did they agree to let you out later? Because according to what you said, you should not have agreed to their unreasonable demands."
Si Jiu: "Of course I can't agree. As for how we got out, we have to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Shang Yao?"
Si Jiu smiled slightly: "Yes, if the princess hadn't thought of threatening those people with her own life, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been released so easily."
Then Si Jiu told Wen Baizhi that Shang Yao was in the Chidu Palace. At first, he pretended to be cooperative and deceived those people with his appearance.
Later, she started smashing things in the palace and even indiscriminately attacked any Chidu who tried to get close to her.
In the end, she went crazy and wanted to hurt herself with a sharp weapon, so the Chidu people had no choice but to let her and Si Jiu and the others go.
Of course, there may be another more important reason.
Si Jiu said that if they entered the palace and did not leave for three days, then the Dacheng troops stationed outside Chidu would have a reason to come to the palace and snatch them away.
So the people of Chidu were afraid.
Only under pressure from various parties did they send them away within the three-day deadline.
"But don't I remember that our Dacheng troops are not allowed to leave the camp without permission, and even if they come, they won't stay around here." Wen Baizhi said curiously.
Si Jiu took a break again at this moment.
He just looked at Wen Baizhi and smiled.
Wen Baizhi immediately realized that Si Jiu's purpose in saying these words was to intimidate Chi Du's people.
In fact, there was no backing at all. Si Jiu was just betting on Chi Du's deep-seated fear of Dacheng that had been buried in his bones for so many years.
"In that case, for you to be able to come out this time, you should not only thank Shang Yao, but also thank you." Wen Baizhi praised Si Jiu generously.
Si Jiu was a little embarrassed: "But this trip was not without gain."
"What is it?"
Si Jiu said, "The date for the princess's wedding has been decided."
Wen Baizhi: "When?"
The reason why she felt nervous was that this was not only a very important day for Shang Yao to get married, but also the time when she and Si Jiu were going to leave.
"Fifteen days later."
"Fifteen days," Wen Baizhi repeated, "Well, isn't Shang Yao's purpose of coming here to marry into the Chidu royal family? Fifteen days is enough for me to buy more things for her. By then we will go to Yunzhou, or perhaps even further away, and we won't be able to see her if we want to. I have to buy more things."
Si Jiu hugged her and said, "In another fifteen days, we will be able to leave."
Yeah, they can go too.
I just hope there won't be any more twists and turns.
