General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 409 Cooperation (1)

"Soldiers..." Ji Xiaomu thought for a moment.

"The Hu family has produced many soldiers over the generations. It can be said that they have trained many generals for the court." Bai Yichen said, "But their loyalty has earned them the emperor's suspicion. They have been suppressed for many years and it's not easy for them."

"The Zhang family also has soldiers. They were originally like the Hu family, but after seeing the consequences of the Hu family, they turned to weapons. Although they are better than the Hu family, they are also feared by the emperor. Weapons are a threat after all."

"As for the Ling family, it was purely because they were too rich that they were suppressed by the emperor." Bai Yichen laughed, "The daughter of the Ling family vowed not to marry into the royal family, which made the emperor so angry that he almost confiscated the Ling family."

"No wonder the emperor has a short life." Ji Xiaowu said with a smile.

"The emperor is incompetent and the people are living in poverty. No one has had a good life these years, otherwise I would not have come here. It's just too annoying in the main city." Bai Yichen was unable to elaborate on the inhumane grievances. In that place, everyone was just enduring.

"To be honest, they should have been relieved that the emperor was dead. But what followed were the threats and overtures from the princes, forcing them to take sides and support them in ascending to the throne," said Bai Yichen.

"No wonder they are in such a hurry to come." Ji Xiaomu understood.

"If it were me, I would do the same as them. Only by leaving that damn place can our family have a chance of survival." Bai Yichen fully understood their urgency, so he tried his best to serve as a bridge between Ji Xiaomu and them.

"Is it difficult for the Bai family to do business?" asked Aunt Ji.

"As a businessman, I come into contact with countless royal relatives, but they all want to get something for nothing, and they collect money everywhere in the name of royal relatives. You know, businessmen are the most looked down upon. If they want to gain a foothold, they have to find a backer. These big families don't have a good life, let alone businessmen." Bai Yichen sighed, "You can't imagine how difficult it is in that hellhole."

Mother Ji nodded silently. With the superiors incompetent and the subordinates unjust, the situation is like a pool of muddy water that is getting dirtier and dirtier.

"We can settle down here and just guard this piece of quiet land. We are all small people and just want to live our peaceful lives." Ji Xiaomu smiled and said, "At least we can have some peace."

Bai Yichen looked at Ji Xiaomu. Only she dared to say such outrageous words. If anyone else said such words, he would beat them to death.

But she just said that, and he believed it.

Who would not covet the rights of that position, and everything that comes with that position, and would really give it up just like that?

But she has such charm that makes you feel that she just wants to live a peaceful life like this.

"I believe you." Bai Yichen smiled. No matter what, he believed her.

Ji Xiaomu and Bai Yichen looked at each other and said, "Check whether there are any traitors in these three families. We must eliminate them all."

If we want to cooperate, how can we let others know? The spies must disappear, otherwise, we won’t have a peaceful day.

"I understand." Bai Yichen understood and nodded. "Then I'll go back and prepare first."

"Okay, see you later." Mother Ji sent Bai Yichen to the door, and Bai Yichen got on the carriage and left.

Ji Xiaomu returned home, looked at the drawing in her hand, and continued to draw with her head down.

Bai Yichen went back and found Mr. Hu and the other two. He explained to them that he would meet with Mrs. Ji. The three of them looked at Bai Yichen excitedly.

"Thank you, Young Master Bai." said Mr. Hu.
