Chapter 192 Delaying time
Bai Zhao got a positive answer and his facial expression became much more relaxed than before.
"If we run into the Bai family's team now, should we give them some trouble? They are traveling slower, so we have more time."
"Or they may not be able to return to the capital. They are in Nanzhen and may not know the news of the earthquake in the capital and Liu County."
"Why don't we seize this time difference so that we won't encounter their funeral procession in Jucheng."
"By the way, what did you use as a substitute for food? Will it be discovered?"
In less than three minutes, Bai Zhao said a lot.
At this point, Bai Jingzhi had to admit that age is always more valuable.
Wei Hongmian poured cold water on the father and daughter at this time, "Your ideas are a bit biased! The ancients emphasized burying the dead in peace, but it may not work."
"Yes, look at my brain, your mother was right to remind me. In ancient times, being buried in peace was indeed a big deal."
Bai Zhao slapped his forehead, feeling a little annoyed that he had not considered it carefully enough.
"Dad, it's already good. You just need to delay for a while. Tell them about the earthquake, and let them decide whether to return to the capital."
According to the local customs, Bai Jingzhi was certain that these people would never walk at night with the coffin.
We can stop the funeral procession on the way and prevent these people from entering Jucheng at night.
In this way, they would have one night to escape from Nanzhen.
"What did you use to replace the food? If the food is already cooked when you get back, then we'll be exposed."
Bai Zhao was still curious, when did this girl switch the bag?
He didn't notice anything at all. Could it be last night?
"Don't worry, you won't realize it's wrong until you put it in your mouth."
Bai Jingzhi still did not explain, but spoke with full confidence.
"Okay, Dad, keep an eye on the Prince of Yan and make sure he doesn't run away. The food in the space can't be taken out directly. We have to wait until the Prince of Yan redeems the people before we can mix it in."
"I know. Changbo has been asked to keep an eye on Wei Liu. The Prince of Yan is much more obedient now and has not made any trouble."
Bai Zhao deliberately lifted the curtain and glanced towards Jiang Lan.
Next to Jiang Lan was Chang Bo. He didn't make a fuss, but he looked unhappy.
"I told you not to steal grain from Liu County. How could you keep all the grain without power? I was almost killed. It's all because of that girl named Bai. She's not that big, but she's everywhere!"
Jiang Lan spoke loudly and Bai Zhao could hear it clearly.
"This Prince of Yan is a villain. We must be on guard against him."
Bai Zhao snorted and lowered the curtain, "Mianmian, you have a good rest in the carriage, I'll go outside."
"Be careful." Wei Hongmian knew that he had to wait in advance. When he saw the funeral procession, he would cause trouble to delay their entry into Jucheng.
Bai Zhao nodded, and then went to drive the carriage with Wei Liu.
"Sixth Uncle, the real eldest daughter of the Bai family is gone, and her servants are coming here with the coffin."
Wei Liu was not surprised and continued to drive the car calmly. "Did Jingzhi tell you?"
Bai Zhao didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Is the little girl okay? What does she mean? Stop the Bai family from returning to Beijing? That's difficult!"
Wei Liu looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid that's not possible. Although Miss Bai is a girl, she is favored by Prime Minister Bai. She hasn't shown up in recent years and only said that she was recuperating in a beautiful place."
He had previously collected information about the families of important figures in the capital, and this Miss Bai was the most mysterious.
She hasn't appeared in public for many years, and no one knows what she looks like.
Bai Zhao shook his head repeatedly. "They may not know about the news of the reversal of the situation in the capital. We just need to delay them. At least don't let them enter the city tonight."
He kept praying in his heart that it would be best if the food could be cooked tomorrow.
In one night, they were able to walk a long way along the river.
The father and daughter ended the call, and Bai Jingzhi looked up to see Wei Yueli staring at her.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Let me tell you, I don't like you! Nothing good will come of cousins being together."
Wei Li stroked his forehead and looked her up and down, "You think too much. Your short stature is not pleasing to my eyes."
Seeing that Bai Jingzhi was angry, he quickly tried to make amends, "I called you several times, but you didn't respond at all."
Bai Jingzhi then withdrew her right foot, otherwise she would have stepped down heavily.
What she hated most when people talked about her height here was that when she mentioned her height, she would think of how tall she was in her original world.
She had been talking to her father just now and indeed did not hear Wei Li's voice.
Her father's golden finger has both advantages and disadvantages.
There is no need to say much about the advantages, but she also wants to complain about the disadvantages.
Every time they have a video call, they just send messages with their brains without moving their mouths, and they can't hear anyone talking to them at all.
It was no wonder that Wei Li was suspicious. She was indeed careless and should have pretended to be asleep just now.
They were now resting not far from the dock. Half of the food on the truck was empty, and they gave it all to Zhou Yue'e to exchange for a boat.
In this world, gold and silver are not as important as food.
Wei Li was not around her at the moment, so Bai Jingzhi simply leaned against the grain bag on the ox cart and closed her eyes to rest.
If everything goes well with his father, they will be able to meet up in the evening.
Everything is going well for Zhou Yue'e and they will be able to board the ship in the evening.
"Wei Li, hurry up and let's go to the dock to see how Sister Yue'e is doing."
Bai Jingzhi suddenly opened his eyes and gave instructions to his cheap cousin.
"You don't even call me brother, huh~" Wei Li complained and then drove off.
As we walked towards the pier, more and more people came.
These people had dark faces and were wearing patched shorts, and they were all staring at them.
Especially the food bags on their cars, they would stare holes in them.
"Brother, is there food in your car?" A man dressed as a fisherman stepped forward bravely, "Can we trade it for fish?"
Wei Li shook his head, "It's only enough for our family to eat, so I won't change it for now."
The man was dejected and walked away with his head down without any further entanglement.
Wei Li didn't take the man seriously and continued on his way.
"There's no sign of Miss Zhou here. Could she be inside? I hope nothing happens to her."
"Not really. Sister Yue'e is very skilled." Bai Jingzhi's heart began to beat fast. There was such a shortage of food in the area around Jucheng.
"No matter how powerful she is, she is still a girl. Two fists cannot beat four hands." Wei Li replied unhappily, "I said I came here, at least others won't look down on me! Look at this dock, there are no women."
"People who make their living by the river or the sea avoid women, fearing that they will bring bad luck."
Bai Jingzhi was now upset. "Hurry up and stop talking nonsense. Maybe Sister Yue'e has already made a deal."
......
Bai Zhao rode as fast as he could and finally met the Bai family's funeral procession halfway.
Because of the coffin, they moved very slowly.
"Sixth Uncle, you should take action!"
"Waste," Wei Liu spat in a low voice, "Just watch!"
He drove the carriage straight to the front and plunged into the funeral procession.
