Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 598 Family Reunion

Mrs. Bai thought for a moment, then took out a gold and jade plaque from her body and placed it on the table.

"Come and see, does this count as an official endorsement?"

The middle-aged man hurried forward, carefully took the jade token in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

The gold-inlaid jade plaque is half the size of a palm, with brilliant gold and smooth white jade.

On one side of the jade plaque were four words inlaid in gold: First-Rank Imperial Edict.

The middle-aged man's hand trembled, and he frowned and looked at it for a few more times.

"Madam, is this brand yours?"

"Why, you don't think so?"

"No, no, no, as long as it's you, please wait a moment and then go down to ask for instructions, okay?"

Mrs. Bai didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

The middle-aged man turned to leave, but suddenly turned back.

"Madam, how much do you wish to borrow?"

Madam Bai asked calmly, "How much do you think I can borrow?"

"Uh...this needs to be determined by my shopkeeper. Please wait a moment, ma'am."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he turned around and hurried out of the room.

He hurried across the hall to the backyard, stopped in front of a door, and knocked gently on it.

I heard someone say, "Come in."

The middle-aged man pushed open the door and stepped into the room.

The interior of the house is simply decorated, but very clean and bright.

There was an old man sitting in front of a desk, talking to someone.

The middle-aged man bowed and said, "Sir, the shopkeeper, my wife is holding this card and wants to borrow money. How much can I borrow?"

As he spoke, he handed over the gold and jade-inlaid sign with both hands.

The old man raised his hand to take the jade token, looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and frowned.

"This... is indeed an imperial decree issued by the imperial court. I just don't know which family the lady belongs to."

The middle-aged man replied awkwardly: "I forgot to ask, I'll go ask now."

Just as he was about to leave, someone spoke beside him.

"This is extremely rude. It only shows that I have no vision, but I can't blame others for not explaining it clearly."

The middle-aged man laughed dryly: "Haha, that's right, the chief steward is right."

The person who was speaking was Bai Jing, the commander-in-chief of the Zhenxi Army.

She came here to discuss business matters with the manager of Qingfeng Silver Industry, Shanglinfu branch.

The old shopkeeper quickly handed the jade token to Bai Jing with a guilty look on his face.

"I only know whether this card is genuine, but I don't know who owns it."

Bai Jing took the jade token, played with it in her hand for a while, then held it up to her eyes and looked at it carefully.

Just one glance and her heart skipped a beat, her whole body tensed up, and she felt a little breathless.

She was very familiar with this brand. She had seen it often when she was a child and had played with it many times.

There was a chip the size of a grain of rice on one corner of the gold-inlaid jade plaque.

That was when I was a kid and I accidentally fell to the ground while playing.

I even got slapped for this.

The two people in the room saw that Bai Jing looked strange, so they didn't dare to ask any more questions. They just waited quietly for her to speak.

After a while, tears came out of Bai Jing's eyes, shocking the two men.

The old shopkeeper couldn't help but ask: "Master, what are you doing..."

Bai Jing woke up in shock, quickly took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her eyes, looking a little embarrassed.

"Uh...my eyes are sore today, maybe from lack of sleep, it's nothing serious."

After saying that, he looked up at the middle-aged man.

"What does the person look like? Tell me in detail."

The middle-aged man quickly and carefully described the appearance, words and deeds of the three people.

After hearing this, Bai Jing fell into a daze again.

The old shopkeeper had to remind him again: "Master, the guests are still waiting."

"Oh, oh, okay, okay, I'll take care of this guest, you go ahead."

Bai Jing took a deep breath, stood up and walked out.

The middle-aged man hurriedly led the way for her, and the old shopkeeper stood up to see her off.

Bai Jing came to the door of the quiet room inside the hall, stood outside the door for a moment to calm down, then reached out and pushed the door open.

When Mrs. Bai and the other three were feeling a little anxious, they suddenly saw the door open and a woman walked in.

In the eyes of the three people, the woman who entered the room was dressed in a plain white dress, with a beautiful and dignified appearance and a graceful demeanor.

There was a hint of nervousness in his dark eyes.

Mrs. Bai was sitting in front, and her heart skipped a beat when she suddenly saw Bai Jing.

Their eyes met in the air and they couldn't look away for a long time.

"You guys go out and wait first."

Mrs. Bai's eyes did not move, she just spoke in a deep voice.

The woman in the black scarf and the dog-faced man were even more confused. After a moment, they stood up and turned hesitantly to leave the house.

The moment the door closed, Mrs. Bai's body began to tremble. She slowly stood up, but her eyes were fixed on Bai Jing.

"You...you are...Jing'er..."

Bai Jing could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.

"...Mother...dear..."

"Oh, it's really my Jing'er, oh, my son..."

Mrs. Bai took a few steps forward, hugged Bai Jing in her arms, and sobbed uncontrollably.

Bai Jing also hugged Mrs. Bai tightly, trembling all over, suppressing her tears.

The two hugged each other for who knows how long before they gradually stopped crying and calmed down a little.

Finally, the two separated and looked at each other.

"Kid, are you doing okay?"

"Mom, Jing'er is fine. I wonder if you have been okay these years?"

"Hey, it's okay..."

Mrs. Bai took Bai Jing's hand and they both sat on the chairs together.

Mrs. Bai tidied up Bai Jing's hair.

"Tell me quickly, how have you been through these years?"

Bai Jing calmed down her excitement and spoke slowly.

"That year, I was pulled awake from my sleep. My mother was gone, and I was left with a hood covering my head and my hands and feet tied..."

Mrs. Bai asked nervously, "And then?"

"Then I felt like I was being shoved into a car, shaking and bumping along the way, and I didn't know how long it had been."

"Later, when I was released, I found myself tied up in a dark room."

"What is that place?"

Bai Jing has calmed down.

"Later I learned that it was a village called Lingdouzi Village, under the jurisdiction of Qingshui County in the Zhenxi Protectorate."

Mrs. Bai exclaimed, "Ah, isn't that almost the border?"

Bai Jing nodded. "Indeed, further north is the border of Tiezhen. Moreover, the Tiezhen Tartars have already invaded Zhenxi. Almost nine out of ten houses in the entire Zhenxi are empty. There are no survivors."

Mrs. Bai cried out in distress: "This is going to cost my son his life."

"I think they just wanted to kill me and married me to a crippled bandit."

“Ah! You…you…”

Bai Jing shook her head: "He is a cripple, but my daughter is fine."

"Son, you have suffered..."

Mrs. Bai was about to cry, but suddenly she moved away and looked at Bai Jing again.

"But, Jing'er, you..."

Bai Jing smiled: "Later, I was rescued from the sea of ​​suffering, and I followed him all the way here."

"Who is that person?"

"Mom, tell me how I got here first, don't let Jing'er worry."

Mrs. Bai's face turned somewhat bleak.

"My mother was very miserable. She was almost killed by that vicious woman."
