Chapter 1348 - Push Him Down
Chapter 1348: Push Him Down
“There’s no problem in carrying out the mission, but…” Bai Zhun paused, looked up, and said in a faint voice, “I need to know what kind of ancient tomb this is, and why so many strange things happened there. We have encountered many things this time. Is it the same with this ancient tomb?”
After President Zhao walked a few steps through the military drill ground, he let out a long sigh and said, “I’ll give you all the information in a while. In fact, no one should go near this ancient tomb, but someone has to do it. The Tang Sect said that they’ve already sent people to follow you. I’ve been waiting for the past two days. After the Tang Sect’s people arrive, things will probably be a lot easier.”
“If you are waiting for someone from the Tang Sect, then I can tell you that the person is already here.” Bai Zhun then tilted his head and lit a cigarette. He looked manly in the wind.
Chief Zhao was shocked. Subconsciously, he looked towards the main gate of the army. “Already here? Why didn’t I see the person? That’s not right. I didn’t hear the alarm.”
“Ajiu is the person sent by the Tang Sect.” Bai Zhun still hadn’t changed much. His deep eyes seemed to have a faint glow.
Instantly, Zhao Shouzhang’s face was filled with disbelief. “Your wife? She’s from the Tang Sect? How is this possible!”
“If she hadn’t arrived in time for this mission, I might have lost many comrades.” Bai Zhun’s gaze was always gentle when he mentioned Ajiu. “She’s more capable than before.”
“Her strength is indeed not small.” President Zhao recalled what had happened in the canteen and muttered, “That strength is enough to topple you. How did this girl grow up?”
Bai Zhun once again thought of his father-in-law, the man who was so mysterious up until now and never showed himself easily.
Ajiu’s strength was innate.
In other words, the Bai Li family… were very likely not ordinary humans.
However, instead of mentioning all these, Bai Zhun only glanced at President Zhao. “This mission is too special. The safety factor is different from the previous ones. I have no problem with it. The others can choose voluntarily. Especially the youngest man in our team. He is the only son of the Feng Family.”
“I will think about this matter carefully.” President Zhao also let out a long sigh. “Prepare yourself. This time, the higher-ups are very benevolent and gave you a day to think about it. The people from the Tang Sect are all abroad dealing with other matters. It’s most convenient to enter the ancient tomb from our side. Moreover, the people from the Tang Sect also said that they’ve already sent people who are best at exploring mountains and rivers. Oh, can you please tell me who your wife is? She’s too stunning!”
“Her mother is the Queen of firearms, Helian Weiwei. You should have heard of her.” Bai Zhun smilingly replied.
President Zhao’s expression suddenly changed. “Yes, it’s her!”
“Mm.” Bai Zhun flicked the cigarette butt.
As President Zhao touched his chin, he said, “If it’s her daughter, then I can be much more at ease. Otherwise, if you bring your little wife to carry out the mission, I will be very worried. I thought you would have declined the offer.”
“As long as I’m still wearing this set of clothes, I will do my best to do what I should do.” Bai Zhun’s lips curved slightly. “Moreover, Ajiu doesn’t want me to be a deserter. Since she has entered the Tang Sect herself, her awareness must be the same as mine. We are all like this because we have people whom we want to protect. “Actually, it’s nothing. At most, when there’s danger, I will block it for her. Compared to letting her carry out a mission in a place I don’t know about, this is better.”
When Chief Zhao heard this, he couldn’t help but turn his head to look at this person who had served under him for nearly four years.
He still remembered that when he first met Bai Zhun, he was still a cold and aloof youth who didn’t even bother to speak to others. He used to look high and mighty. With just one look, one could tell that he hadn’t experienced any setbacks. Although they were all members of the Crown Prince’s army, Bai Zhun was undoubtedly the most noble among them, regardless of whether it was his background or his appearance.
Among the group of soldiers, he was the youngest, but he was a sharpshooter. It was as if he was born to be a soldier; that cold and righteous aura that came with him had made all the people who wanted to attack China tremble at the mention of him.
Now, he had grown into an indomitable man, and everything he did was carefully thought through.
He still loved the girl very much.
The kind of affection he had for raising children could not be described with words.
As President Zhao smiled, he shook his head. To have such a good disciple was simply the proudest thing he had had in his military career.
In the future, he would be able to relax and let go of this place. After all, some of the crown prince soldiers were not as good as people thought.
It was just that each person had their own temper.
For example, right now, there was a group of people that gambled under a big tree.
“I bet that sister-in-law will press on Master Bai. You all saw how strong she was just now. She lifted me like a plastic bag. This strength is simply shocking! Wouldn’t it be easy to push Master Bai down?”
“You can’t say that. Everyone knows how shameless Master Bai is usually. If he used other methods, her strength alone would not help her at all.”
“Why are you guys talking so much? Just put our bet on it. When the time comes, we’ll find out the truth!”
The discussion then got louder. “I’ll bet three boxes of cigarettes on sister-in-law!”
“I’ll bet five boxes on Master Bai!”
“I… I…”
The last person didn’t finish his words because just as he was about to throw the cigarettes in, he turned his head and saw a very beautiful girl squatting beside him.
They all knew this beautiful girl. She was holding a small face and looking at them with her round tiger eyes.
The young man choked and coughed. “W-Why are you here?”
“My little brother was called away. I was bored and came over to see why you guys are so happy here. I have been here for a few minutes, but you guys were discussing too enthusiastically and did not notice me.”
The young man opened his mouth and was about to explain, but Ajiu’s hand had patted his shoulder. “You really have good taste.”
Why did sister-in-law praise him for no reason? He himself was dumbfounded. Could it be that she and Master Bai had learned to say the opposite?
“Then, about that bet…”
Ajiu’s eyes lit up as she stood up. “Don’t worry, I won’t betray your trust. I’ll let you win.”
That rendered the young man speechless.
Wait a minute, his trust meant… He bet that his sister-in-law would use brute force to press on Master Bai… Was she aware of that?
