After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Wen Baizhi realized belatedly that it was already dark outside.

But she couldn't leave yet.

Because this was the first time she knew the truth of what happened, she couldn't leave.

"What happened next?" Wen Baizhi spoke with difficulty.

Qi He seemed to be lost in memories: "Later, actually I shouldn't have left, because I was picked up by the general and brought to the barracks. I have no relatives and no hometown, but the general still let me go first because he felt that it was not easy for me to live until now, and he hoped that I could continue to work hard to survive in the future. Even if I am not in the Wen Family Army, I have to work as hard as before."

“That’s certainly what he would say and that’s what he would do.”

Qi He smiled bitterly: "Yes, the general taught me so many things. He first sent me to a small town on the border of Chidu. In addition to me, there were about a hundred people who came with me. We pretended to be a caravan and went to that village to collect supplies to cover up our identities.

Later, the news that the general's family was sentenced to exile to Yunzhou also reached Chidu. After all, everyone in Chidu knew the reputation of the Wen family army, so the general's departure was actually a good thing for Chidu, so we also knew about it.

At that time, a few of us were thinking about going to Yunzhou to find the general. We thought, at worst we could just rescue the prisoners. After all, Yunzhou is so big and the terrain is so complicated, if we really wanted to hide, we would definitely not be discovered.

But we only had less than a hundred people, and the strength was too great, so we thought of those people who were sent out by the general with a fake list. Fortunately, when we left, the general gave us the list and told us that if someone took the jade pendant as a token, we would have to obey that person's orders unconditionally.

According to the list, we gradually organized all the people who wanted to help rescue the general. They were probably the brothers from the escort agency you see now. Although they all had families and elderly people, they were all extremely grateful for the general's kindness, and their families also supported them in rescuing the general.

With the support of our family, we set off for Yunzhou together.

We still used the name of a caravan, but there were too many people, so we could only think of using the name of the escort agency to protect the convoy, and divided our troops into several teams to set off for Yunzhou together.

Afterwards, I regretted it countless times. If we had organized the people in time, or if we had not organized the people first, and went to Yunzhou to rescue the general, then the general would not have died. What if we had made it in time? If we had made it in time..."

After saying so much, this was the first time Qi He paused.

He was regretting and feeling upset.

Even though so much time has passed, he still can't forget the regret and remorse he felt at that time.

Wen Baizhi couldn't bear it, so she comforted him, "It's not your fault, and it has nothing to do with whether you can make it to Yunzhou in time. I have always been suspicious about the death of my father and brother. If they were just injured by the miasma in Yunzhou, then they had been to Yunzhou before and experienced the miasma. Why were they fine before, but only had problems when they were exiled to Yunzhou? This is clearly not an accident, but a human error."

Qi He's mood at this moment has been fully mobilized by Wen Baizhi: "Miss, what you mean is that the death of the general and others was not an accident, but someone deliberately harmed them?"

Wen Baizhi didn't notice that Qi He's way of addressing her had changed. "I may have thought too much, but apart from this possibility, I really can't think of any other possibility. But when I rushed to Yunzhou, I saw that they had already been reduced to ashes. I didn't see them for the last time, so what I want to ask you is, did you see them for the last time at that time? Was there anything unusual?"

Qi He's expression was very heavy. "At that time, we were divided into different teams and rushed to Yunzhou. I was not the first one to arrive in Yunzhou. There was another team that arrived before me. The leader was also deeply indebted to the general. I did not see the general and his team for the last time. If anyone saw them, it must be the leader."

Although she didn't get the answer she wanted, at least there was still hope. Wen Baizhi could wait a little longer before being disappointed.

"Is he in the escort agency now? If it's convenient, can I meet him? I still want to ask this question clearly. Even if I don't get the answer I want in the end, at least I have tried, and I won't regret it."

Qi He originally planned to take Wen Baizhi to continue looking for the answer from that year, but at this moment, Wen Baizhi looked at him with hope, which made him feel more pressured.

"He's out guarding the convoy. Calculating the time, he should arrive at the escort agency tonight, but he may be a little late when he comes back. Miss, you can go back to your residence first and ask him tomorrow."

Wen Baizhi rejected his proposal: "Is he going out tomorrow?"

Qi He shook his head.

Wen Baizhi then said, "Then I will wait here for him to come back tonight. I will ask him as soon as possible."

Qi He said: "But he will still be here tomorrow, and he won't be back early tonight. He will probably be back in the late night after dawn."

Wen Baizhi didn't care: "I know, but I still can't wait until tomorrow. After all, you don't know what will happen in the future, even if it's just tomorrow. Besides, I don't have anything to do now, so I might as well wait for him to come back here with you."

What she said made a lot of sense, and Qi He really couldn't refute her.

"Well, then I'll arrange a guest room for you to rest. When he arrives at the escort agency, I'll go call you over. Your clothes need to be cleaned, too."

Qi He pointed at the hem of her skirt.

Wen Baizhi then remembered that she had not yet dealt with her clothes.

She was so focused on understanding what happened before with Qi He that she forgot a lot of things.

"Thank you very much. And please help me prepare dinner. My maid and I need it."

Qi He assured her: "Miss, please rest assured, I will arrange all these things."

This was not Wen Baizhi's fault, because she was indeed tired, sleepy and hungry.

After all, she had only eaten a little bit of food from morning till now.

Another thing is that she needs to wait for the only person who knows what happened to come back, and she won't be able to see any accidents happen.

So she has to wait here.

As for Si Jiu...

She was actually trying to do other things to stop herself from thinking about Si Jiu.

No matter what, she was determined this time to make Si Jiu change himself.

Even if it was just a small change in the end, she would let him change it.

After all, they still have a long time to be together in the future.
