C21 The History of Bi Ling

It was the beginning of summer, the moon shone brightly in the sky, and in the Jade Lake West Garden, the pear blossoms that filled the trees were blooming.

Under the pear tree stood a beautiful figure. Even under the hazy moonlight, it reflected a pair of slender and exquisite curves.

Bi Ling's beautiful eyes flickered with hesitation as her heart churned like a raging river.

Although Your Excellency Ye was naturally honest, he was still a member of the imperial government and had been under the protection of officials since ancient times. Who knew if Your Excellency Ye would collude with the officials of Ministry of Business Administration and sell himself out in the future after finding out about his background?

This picturesque courtyard wasn't a place to stay for long, so he should leave as soon as possible.

But after leaving, where could he go?

That person had already set up an inescapable trap and would never stop until he caught her. Although the martial arts world was vast, there was already no place for one to stay.

Bi Ling couldn't help but feel dejected.

But soon, a hint of determination emerged in Bi Ling's gloomy eyes.

It's impossible to redeem myself, but the two sisters died trying to cover me. If I don't kill that person, the hatred in my heart will never be resolved.

At most, he could just go with the flow and spend some time with his sisters. If he was going to suffer so much, he might as well die happily.

However, after Bi Ling had made up her mind to die, a trace of melancholy appeared in her eyes.

With his own strength, he still wasn't that person's opponent. Thinking of this, Bi Ling whispered to herself, "I just don't know if Your Excellency Ye is willing to lend me that thing."

At that moment, Mei Rou came out of the kitchen with some food. She glanced at Bi Ling and said, "What are you muttering to yourself about? Come and eat."

They sat around the stone table.

Perhaps because Bi Ling had made up her mind, she actually felt nostalgic about the days at Jade Lake West Garden. It was a warm feeling of home, a sense of belonging that had never felt so good in the first half of her life.

Bi Ling was even a little scared in her heart. She was afraid that if she stayed here for too long, she would fall in love with it.

Having made up her mind, Bi Ling ate the delicious food cooked by Mei Rou as she took the initiative to talk about her own life.

Ye Tian busied himself with the Royal Bureau of Pharmaceutical for the whole day.

Eunuch Lee presided over the appointment of the new deputy director of the meeting, read out the imperial edict. Then Lu Shangduo and the old subordinates started to hand over the work to Ye Tian as usual.

Although Lu Shangduo seemed sincere, when he handed over the account list, Ye Tian could tell from his evasive gaze and occasional incoherent words that there must be something fishy going on here.

After handing over the work, Lu Shangduo left. The workers had a new deputy director, and Ye Tian began to reorganize the operation process of the Pharmaceutical Bureau according to his own plan.

How to coordinate the departments, how to transfer and transport the medicinal materials, how to shift the workers can not only maintain a high production efficiency, but also ensure the quality of the medicinal materials.

By the time the new production process of the Pharmaceutical Bureau was basically completed, the sky had already darkened.

Ye Tian dragged his tired body back to the Jade Lake West Garden. Seeing the two beautiful women eating and chatting, all the fatigue in his heart was immediately swept away and was replaced with a blissful feeling.

Why did he struggle all day? It was all for this moment.

Ye Tian sat at the stone table and took the rice from Mei Rou. He ate while listening to their conversation.

He was satisfied with his current condition.

In front of the beautiful ladies, they were drinking under the moonlight. They could pick pear blossoms and raise their eyes to look at their beautiful faces. Their lives were not much worse than those of deities.

Mei Rou poured a cup of wine for Ye Tian, then looked up towards Bi Ling and said: "Aroma Workshop is not a peaceful place, sister is beautiful, in that kind of place, it is inevitable that people will get into trouble. In my opinion, it's better not to go."

Aroma Workshop?

Ye Tian vaguely remembered that it seemed to be the largest wind and moon field on the street.

Seeing Ye Tian's puzzled expression, Mei Rou chuckled and said: "Sir, you still don't know, Bi Ling is the biggest in the capital, the number one in Aroma Workshop."

Ye Tian put down his chopsticks with a face full of shock.

"However, Bi Ling never sells her skills, so the officials in the capital tried everything they could to get her body. That's why they ended up killing her." Mei Rou said.

Bi Ling's clear and bright eyes gradually became misty as she spoke slowly, "Seven days ago, Ministry of Business Administration's function was Bai Hai Mountain. When it came to the Aroma Workshop's limit, she had to put down five hundred silver, so I need my trump card. The Lady Boss didn't agree at first, but Bai Hai Shan took out the business license for Aroma Workshop and threatened her. If she didn't agree, then the door to Aroma Workshop would be closed. With no other choice, the Lady Boss could only coerce me. However, since I will not comply even if I die, Bai Hai Shan will personally come to deal with me. "

As she said that, Bi Ling observed Ye Tian's reaction.

Ye Tian's face was filled with anger, but it didn't seem like he knew Bai Hai Shan at all.

"I tried my best to escape, but my two best sisters were killed by that person in an attempt to cover me."

At this point, two streams of clear tears flowed down Bi Ling's face.

Mei Rou grabbed Bi Ling's hand and sighed. "In this world, the more beautiful a woman is, the more difficult her life will be."

Ye Tian couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you reporting it to the officials?"

Bi Ling smiled bitterly. "Bai Hai Mountain is the function of Ministry of Business Administration, and his father is the Assistant Minister of the Punishment Department. If I were to report it to the officials, wouldn't I be walking right into a trap?"

Ye Tian slammed his hands on the table, "How dare you! Don't you have the law under the Emperor's feet?"

Bi Ling continued, "After escaping from the Aroma Workshop, I did not dare to stay in the capital any longer. After leaving the west gate, I fled all the way into the Jade Emperor Mountain. Your Excellency Ye saved him when they were still living in the mountains while picking fruits and capturing small animals. "

Ye Tian frowned and asked: "Why do you say you want to go back to Aroma Workshop? Isn't this place good? "

Bi Ling smiled as she shook her head, "I won't hide the truth from you, Sir. In the few days at Jade Lake West Garden, Bi Ling truly felt a sense of home. Even if you take the whip and chase me away, I'm not willing to leave."

"However, my two sisters have died because of me. If I do not avenge this grudge, the hatred in my heart will not be dispelled." Bi Ling gritted her teeth as she spoke angrily.

"If you go to the Aroma Workshop right now, it's no different from walking into a trap. How can you get your revenge?" Ye Tian asked.

"So, I want to borrow something from my lord." Bi Ling looked at Ye Tian and said seriously.

"What do you want to borrow?"

"The crossbow that can kill Level 3 Devil Beast."

The miniature pulley crossbow was taught by Ye Tian to improve the third generation of Pulley Type Steel Crossbow after he had learned the lesson of being ambushed on the streets and met with tigers in the mountains.

Compared to the second generation crossbow that he killed last time, the third generation crossbow was smaller in size, lighter in weight, faster in firing, and had stronger piercing power.

Ye Tian tried to make Mei Rou use the defensive armor of the Golden Demon Armor and shoot with the miniature pulley crossbow. Although it didn't pierce through, it still left a few cracks on the surface of the armor. If it was fired continuously, the golden armor would eventually be penetrated by the powerful impact.

Although he didn't have any magic power or fighting prowess, with a crossbow in his hand, Ye Tian didn't dare to say that he was running amuck in the capital. At the very least, he would be able to fight back against a rascally young master like Chen Haotai.

Ye Tian took out the miniature pulley crossbow from the bed and handed it to Bi Ling.

Bi Ling watched Ye Tian's reaction as she held the crossbow in her hand.

Bi Ling's eyes shone with excitement as she scrutinized the gleaming steel frame.

Ye Tian could not help but ask again: "Who actually sold you to Aroma Workshop?"

"It's my father." Bi Ling's expression darkened as she leisurely said, "He didn't want me and my mother to starve to death, so he had no choice but to sell me there. I don't blame him for this matter. When I arrive at Aroma Workshop, I will naturally have something to eat and wear. Selling my money would save my mother. That was the only way for my father. "

Ye Tian nodded and asked again, "Can't you redeem yourself?"

"Of course it's fine to redeem myself, but it's not a small amount of money. I only sell my skills and do not sell my body, so I can't earn much. I only saved five taels of silver in three years, far from being able to redeem myself."

Bi Ling forced a smile and said, "Those who are willing to pay this price are all willing to marry me back as a concubine. I don't want to compromise so much."

"You are an intermediate beast spirit summoner, you can easily summon a grizzly bear, ordinary people are no match for you. If you can't redeem yourself, won't you just leave by yourself? " Ye Tian rolled his eyes.

"My account card is registered in Aroma Workshop. Even if I leave, without my account card, I won't be able to settle in no matter where I go. Doing work, doing business, studying, everything needs an account. In addition, every month, the local officials would go door to door to check their house. Without a home certificate, they would be locked up in jail, and those who don't have a home would end up in jail, which is often even more miserable. " Bi Ling said with a wry smile.

Ye Tian nodded and thought to himself, ID is still very important.

"How much does it cost to redeem myself?" Ye Tian asked.

"Aroma Workshop's ransom fee is the highest in the capital, for geisha who have sold their bodies it's about three hundred gold, and for geisha who only sell their skills like me, it's at least ten times more." Bi Ling said dejectedly.

Ye Tian sucked in a breath of cold air. Three thousand taels of silver was enough for him to work for ten years without eating or drinking for free.

The owner of Aroma Workshop was not one bit inferior to that scum Chen Haotai.

Bi Ling could also tell that Your Excellency Ye was either reluctant to part with the money, or really embarrassed to part with it. His mood was a little down, Bi Ling said: "My lord, you saved my life because of great kindness, and you should never worry about the ransom. "After Bi Ling sought revenge, she no longer dared to implicate her lordship. She traveled far and wide and traveled far away, so that she could live for one day at a time."

Ye Tian felt sad when he heard that, so he snatched the crossbow back, "I can't give this thing to you right now. Even if you take it to get your revenge, you still have to compensate yourself. If you trust me, you can stay here for the time being, and even the government won't be able to find out where you are. I'll think of a way to redeem myself. "As for the matter of revenge, we have to plan carefully. Killing a man in the capital and being an official of the imperial court are not that simple. I can only promise you that I will definitely help you take revenge, but not at this moment."

Bi Ling's clear eyes flashed with a complicated expression. After a moment of thought, she said, "Of course, Bi Ling trusts you. It's just that I'm afraid to implicate you."
