Bai Song had fallen asleep, but suddenly opened his eyes because he felt someone was outside the house.
Sure enough, there was a knock on the door.
Bai Song frowned and looked at the sky. It was already dark. He didn't know who it was so early.
"who?"
"Master Bai, are you awake?"
From the sound of the voice, it sounded like it was an elder of the Qin family.
Bai Song became confused and opened the door.
As expected, he was the second uncle of the Qin family.
"Senior, what's the matter?"
"Master Bai, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
The second uncle had a sad look on his face, as if he hadn't slept all night.
Bai Song was a little strange, but he still got out of the way, then turned around and lit the oil lamp.
"Senior, look at your face, is something wrong?"
The other party nodded heavily.
Bai Song also said: "Whenever something is difficult, it doesn't hurt to say it."
The second uncle of the Qin family hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know where to start, and finally asked directly: "Master Bai, please tell me the truth. Did Master Bai fight for our release, or did the emperor intend to release us?"
Bai Song was stunned. He didn't expect that this would be a problem if the other party came so early.
Bai Song didn't know how to reply, but he had thought that someone would see some clues. After all, there were too many loopholes in the whole thing.
Originally, they thought that when the Qin family saw it, they would have already left. Even if they had some doubts in their hearts, they had no way to verify it.
But this question was still asked before the Qin family left Chang'an.
Seeing that Bai Song was silent, the second uncle of the Qin family's expression became more solemn. He smiled lowly and said, "It seems that this matter is not as simple as expected."
"Senior, some things don't require an accurate answer. What's the harm in being confused sometimes? Now that everyone is alive, no matter what the reason is, it is the best result."
But the other party bowed his hands and seemed to be pleading: "Master Bai, we need an answer. You don't have to worry about it. We are different from others because we have personally experienced what Master Bai is going through. We know that Your Excellency’s embarrassment and helplessness, no matter what choice Mr. Bai makes, we can understand, let alone despise Mr. Bai. So this answer is very important to us.”
Bai Song didn't quite understand the other party's insistence, but the words had come to this point, and Bai Song had nothing to hide. He said in a deep voice: "Since senior insists on knowing, then I will tell you the truth. All this In fact, it is the emperor’s intention.”
After hearing Bai Song's answer, the second uncle of the Qin family softened and lay on the table like a deflated rubber ball: "Sure enough... it is indeed what the emperor meant."
"For the Qin family, what difference does it make if it is the emperor's will or someone else's? Now there are finally some people in the Qin family alive. This is the best result."
Bai Song emphasized again.
The second uncle of the Qin family smiled miserably, waved his hand, but did not explain anymore, but changed the subject and asked: "Sir Bai, if I should not ask a question, where does your position stand on the history of the Tang Dynasty?"
This time it was Bai Song's turn to be in a bit of trouble.
Hearing this question, I was even a little annoyed.
Bai Song didn't understand. What does this issue have to do with others?
No matter what choice you make, others are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks. Why is everyone paying special attention to the answer to this question.
Is this issue that important?
Bai Song suppressed his displeasure. He knew that this was just the beginning, and more people would ask the same questions in the future, so he had to adapt first.
"Senior, a verbal promise can't mean anything at all. People change. The answer at this moment does not represent the choice in the future. You should take a look at what I will do next. I believe you don't need any answer, you will have the answer. .”
"If there is that opportunity, of course I would like to see what you will do in the future. I am just worried... I am afraid that I can't wait until that time?"
"Senior, what does this mean?"
"Sir, please tell me your sincere words."
Bai Song gave a wry smile and said bravely: "Mr. Qin passed his words to a scholar named Ouyang Xun before he died, and the scholar Ouyang Xun conveyed what Mr. Qin said to me before he died."
When the second uncle of the Qin family heard this, he immediately relaxed and had a smile on his face.
Bai Song continued: "Thinking about it this way, the Qin family and I have a deep relationship."
"Master Bai has inherited my father's legacy and is considered a disciple of my Qin family."
"That's right." Bai Song didn't defend himself.
"The old man has an unfulfilled wish before he leaves. I beg Mr. Bai to agree to it no matter what."
"Senior, what are your orders?"
"My lord, please agree first..."
Bai Song frowned. The other party's request was somewhat excessive, making it seem like he owed you something.
Bai Song wanted to refuse, but seeing the other person's helpless and expectant look, he really couldn't bear to speak.
So he sighed and waved his hands helplessly: "That's all, senior, just ask if you have any requests."
"Among the younger generations of the Qin family, there is only one Qin Lanzhi. I would like to ask you to take care of me."
"What?" Bai Song knew that there was nothing good to be done. It was not good to ask for anything, unless it was about women.
Now Bai Song is not just looking for sex, he is worried when he sees his daughter, and now he is scared when he sees women. He can no longer sort out the things at home, and here is another woman, but he doesn't know how to deal with it.
"Sir, this is my only wish. Please agree to it."
"No, senior, what are you doing so well? Wouldn't it be nice for Miss Qin to leave with you? Why do you want to stay with me? It's very dangerous in Chang'an."
"Sir, I have my own considerations. Lanzhi used to have a temperament, but recent experiences have changed her a lot. Whether she is a slave or a maid, as long as she can stay with Master Bai, I will feel at ease even if I die. .”
The second uncle of the Qin family was very excited and was about to kneel down and kowtow.
Bai Song quickly went to help him.
Bai Song didn't like this kind of tugging, but he could see that the other party seemed to have something to hide.
"That's all, senior, get up first. I promise that from now on, Miss Qin will be my adopted sister, and I will not treat her badly."
"It's so good, it's so good!" The second uncle of the Qin family was so excited that he almost burst into tears. He turned around and opened the door, "Sir, I will call Lanzhi later."
The second uncle of the Qin family left. Bai Song sat down helplessly and thought about it. Did he feel that he was too firm?
Not long after, Qin Lanzhi was heard arguing with her second uncle outside.
"Second uncle, why do you want to keep me here? I don't like Chang'an. I want to leave with everyone."
"Master Bai has sacrificed a lot for the Qin family, and we can't repay him in return. My daughter, you must be obedient and serve Master Bai well."
"Second uncle, please explain yourself clearly. Why did you suddenly make a decision for me?"
