Mobei.
It's snowing heavily.
A fast horse galloped past, and Lord Bai Di returned to Mobei after two years of southern expedition.
However, Bai Di did not return to the Bai Di Royal Court, but rushed towards the junction of the territories of the Bai Di tribe and the Tantai tribe.
At the junction of the two tribes, a small tribe was stationed. There were only thirty or fifty people in the tribe, and most of them were old, weak, women and children, struggling to survive in this cold winter.
Mobei is vast, and eight tribes occupy most of the land and resources. However, this does not mean that there are no other tribes in Mobei.
However, these tribes are too small and far from being able to compete with the Eight Tribes.
Not to mention fighting, it is not easy to survive in Mobei, where the living environment is getting worse day by day.
Lu's is one of them.
Many years ago, the Lu family had a brief period of glory. However, the Lu family's glory was too short-lived and passed away in a flash. It was difficult to leave even a trace in Mobei's thousands of years of history.
Today, the Lu clan has welcomed its most distinguished guest in twenty years.
In the wind and snow, the horse stopped, Lord Bai Di jumped down and walked towards the tribe in front.
In the tribe, the old man who was cleaning the snow in front of the door raised his head and looked at the stranger walking in front of him, a trace of confusion flashed in his cloudy eyes.
There are actually guests coming from their tribe.
"Old man, is there a man named Lu Wen here?"
Lord Bai Di stepped forward, looked at the old man in front of him, and asked politely.
"Lu Wen?"
The old man frowned and said, "What are you looking for him for?"
"Talk about something."
Lord Bai Di said politely, "It's a very important matter."
"Dead, dead for many years."
The old man said something, then turned around and walked towards the felt tent at the back.
When Lord Bai Di heard this, he looked startled. He hurriedly took two steps, stopped the old man, and asked anxiously, "Old man, did you remember it wrong?"
The old man frowned and was about to say something when an equally old voice came from not far away.
"Old Man Wen, come over for tea."
In front of the felt tent not far away, an old man on crutches shouted. When he saw the stranger in front of Old Man Wen's tent, he was stunned for a moment and said in surprise, "Is this a visitor at home?"
When Lord Bai Di heard the voice coming from behind, he immediately understood something. He looked at the old man in front of him and said seriously, "Old man, are you Lu Wen?"
The old man frowned again and said calmly, "Let's talk in the tent."
After saying that, the old man said no more, opened the felt cloth and walked into the tent.
Lord Bai Di followed and walked into it, a look of concentration flashed deep in his eyes.
Judging from the old man's attitude, today's events probably won't go well.
Inside the tent, in the brazier, dried cow dung burned quietly, allowing the tribe who lacked charcoal to barely be able to stay warm.
However, it was still very cold inside the tent, which was incomparable to the wealthy households in the Central Plains who could afford charcoal.
"sit down."
The old man heated up a pot of kumiss and said with an indifferent expression.
"Thank you."
Lord Bai Di sat down next to the brazier and stretched his hands to the side to roast them.
The physical fitness of the great cultivators of the Five Realms is indeed stronger than that of ordinary people, but they don't want to be cold all the time if they can warm themselves up by the fire.
After a while, the kumiss was hot, and the old man poured out two bowls and said calmly, "Drink some wine to warm yourself up."
"Thank you, old man."
Lord Bai Di thanked him again, picked up the koumiss in front of him, and took a big gulp.
The old man, or rather the old man Lu Wen, also silently took a sip of the kumiss. After about ten breaths, he asked, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Things about your beloved."
Lord Bai Di looked at the old man in front of him, who was almost seventy years old, and asked, "Does the old man know that your wife is now in the Taixue Palace of Dashang?"
"I don't have a daughter."
When Lu Wen heard the words of the person in front of him, his expression turned cold and he responded, "Whether she is alive or dead has nothing to do with me."
"Old man, I have heard a little bit about what happened back then."
Lord Bai Di hesitated for a moment and said, "Although your love did something wrong at the beginning, for more than twenty years, your love has been locking herself in a small courtyard in Taixue Palace, unable to leave even an inch." , this punishment is enough."
"You eloped with a man and did sleazy things. Do you want to tell me that the punishment is enough?"
Lu Wen's face suddenly darkened after hearing the former's words, and he said angrily, "If you came here today just to plead for her, please take her back instead of sending her away!"
"Old man, I am also a father of a daughter, and I can understand how you feel, old man."
Seeing the angry look of the old man in front of him, Lord Bai Di sighed softly and said, "No father can really hate his daughter. He just hates that iron cannot be transformed into steel."
Having said this, Lord Bai Di paused and continued, "Old man, so many members of the Lu family have moved away over the years, but you and a small group of people are the only ones who are still here. Isn't it just that you want to wait for your beloved one day?" Repent and come back again, old man, you are already in your seventies, how many more years can you wait? You don’t want to die with this regret, do you?”
Lu Wen's face changed again and again after listening to the former's words. His already old face seemed to be much older in an instant.
"If she wanted to come back, she would have come back long ago!"
After a long time, Lu Wen suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Who in the world can stop her."
"You can stop it!"
Lord Bai Di said sternly, "When she left in anger, you personally said that you would no longer recognize her. The relationship between your father and daughter has become so tense. Now that she is in such a state of desolation, how can she have the dignity to come back to see you. "
"Who are you?"
Lu Wen looked at the person in front of him and said in a deep voice, "How can you know so much about our father and daughter?"
Although the matter between their father and daughter is not a secret, it happened twenty years ago. How could ordinary people know so clearly.
"My Majesty, the Great Lord of the Baidi Tribe."
Bai Di did not hide anything and answered truthfully, "My daughter is now learning martial arts under Ling Ai. Therefore, I sent someone to check your Ling Ai's background a long time ago."
"Lord Bai Di?"
Lu Wen was shocked when he heard the former's answer.
The royal court of the Baidi tribe was attacked by the Great Shang cavalry, and he had heard about the capture of the little princess, but why did the little princess of the Baidi tribe worship Bai Mei as her teacher?
"Old man."
Bai Di looked at the old man in front of him and said seriously, "I want to save my daughter, and you also want to see your daughter. Our goals are actually the same. As long as the old man gives me a letter or a token, I guarantee that , I will definitely bring your love back to Mobei safely."
"Old man, why should I trust you?" Lu Wen said with a serious expression.
"Because the elderly have no choice."
Bai Di said sternly, "I want to take something from the old man to deceive or threaten your wife. You can't stop me, old man. However, I don't want to do this. Moreover, without my connections, even if the old man wants to see you, Your love, your letter cannot be delivered to the Taixue Palace, let alone the hands of your love."
