Chapter 290: It’s better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early

Bai Tao opened the door with messy hair. Before she stepped out of the room, she saw Bai Dashan walking towards her quickly.

He said hurriedly, "Aunt, we are sorry for waking you up."

Bai Tao was still drowsy at first, but when she saw Bai Dashan's expression, she stopped rubbing her eyes and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"To answer your question, Qi and Liang have started fighting, and one of our caravan's troops is at the border between the two countries. Now they can only enter but not leave."

Bai Tao suddenly came to her senses and said, "When did this happen?"

"The news came early this morning. Judging from the distance traveled, the incident should have happened four or five days ago."

Four or five days?
Logically speaking, it is impossible for two countries to go to war without prior preparation, after all, food and supplies must be sent before troops move forward.

There was no sign before, how come it suddenly...

"How are our people now?"

Bai Dashan: "Auntie, don't worry. Although we are trapped, the team has communicators. There is nothing serious at the moment, and everyone is doing well."

Hearing this, Bai Tao felt somewhat fortunate, as she had previously spent 200,000 coins to have the mall upgrade her communicator.

The communicators in the villagers' hands can reach up to ten kilometers.

If not, the trapped people would have no chance of sending out messages in such a short time.

Seeing Bai Tao frowning, Bai Dashan quickly comforted her: "Auntie, don't worry too much, they will definitely be safe."

Originally, after delivering this batch of goods at the end of the year, we would have been able to prepare for the New Year, but who knew something like this would happen.

"Find out why the Qi and Liang states started fighting." It was winter and the New Year was almost approaching. Generally speaking, wars would not be fought at this time.

The battle casualties were too high at this time. As long as there was bleeding and the body temperature dropped, people would easily die.

We have to farm in spring. If we fight a war at this time, will the food and grass reserves be enough?

"Send a message to the trapped people, tell them not to panic and take care of their own safety. Supplies and cargo are not as important as people."

The implication is that you can discard the goods to save yourself.

"Yes, great aunt."

As Bai Dashan responded, he saw Bai Youli running towards him.

"What's wrong?" Bai Dashan was puzzled: "Aren't you responsible for guarding the village entrance today?"

"Yes." Bai Youli answered and looked at Bai Tao: "Good morning, aunt."

"Is there something wrong?"

Bai Youli: "Auntie, Liang State sent someone to contact us, wanting to..."

Before he could finish his words, another person came running over.

Before Bai Dacheng ran up to her, he raised his voice, "Auntie, Auntie, someone is coming. It's from Qiguo."

"This..." Bai Dashan couldn't help but frown. When the two countries were at war, they sent people here. What did they want to do?

Bai Tao was surprised, but not surprised.

"Take it to the reception room and tell them I'll be there in a moment."

"Hey."

"Yes, great aunt."

Bai Dashan came back to his senses and hurriedly said to the two of them, "Bring some tea and let them wait."

"And you two, calm down. Don't be so anxious. Be steady. They need our help now. Keep your attitude high and don't embarrass me."

Bai Youli and Bai Dacheng looked at each other and immediately put away their anxious expressions: "Village Chief, we understand."

"Remember, they came to ask us for help." Bai Dashan reminded again. "Yes, village chief, we remember it."

"Okay, go ahead." Bai Dashan waved at the two of them, then turned to Bai Tao and coaxed her softly, "Aunt, don't worry. You just woke up and haven't had breakfast yet. I'll go get you breakfast."

"Please have breakfast first." It took Zhuge Liang three visits to visit my thatched cottage. If you want to see our aunt, it's only right that you wait a little longer.

If only people from one country came, he would have to be nervous, but since people from two countries came, Bai Dashan was no fool. After thinking about it, he guessed that they wanted to ask for something from the Baijiabao caravan.

Since you are asking for help from others, you have to follow the rules.

We can't meet you on an empty stomach, so just wait patiently.

If it were before, Bai Dashan would never have had this idea, let alone dared to think so.

But people's self-confidence and arrogance are brought about by confidence. When they have a certain level of strength, they will naturally not be as timid and inexperienced as before.

"Yeah." Bai Tao: "I want to drink sesame paste, and give me some meat pie."

Bai Tao just entered the house and suddenly remembered something, feeling a little strange: "By the way, where is the big guy?"

Bai Dashan: "Auntie, Brother Ji and Old Heitou have gone into the mountains to hunt."

"He said he saw a big black bear before and wanted to get some bear paws for me to eat."

In fact, Ji Xianhai’s original words were: If you hadn’t tied me up, I would have killed the big black bear long ago. Maybe my sister Bai would have eaten the bear’s paw as soon as she came back.

Bai Tao was a little amused: "Okay."

Over there, the people of Liang State did not expect that the people of Qi State would also come.

When two countries are at war, it is natural that when they meet each other, their eyes are not eyes and their noses are not noses.

If they hadn't remembered their mission in Taohua Village, I'm afraid both sides would have fought on the spot.

Although there was no fight, both sides showed no mercy in their words.

"Huh, I didn't expect you would follow us." The envoy from Liang said with disdain.

The Qi Kingdom envoy rolled his eyes unceremoniously and said, "Who followed you? This is Junji Mountain. You just got here a step earlier than us. What's there to be proud of? You haven't met the young master of the Baijiabao caravan yet."

The Liang envoy was choked and said unhappily: "So what, we came here first, the young master will definitely see us first."

They hurried and traveled in secret, but they didn't expect that Qiguo would also come. It seems that the purpose of this trip will be difficult to achieve.

Upon hearing this, the envoy of Qi State became even more anxious, but he could not show his fear at this moment, so he laughed and said, "What a joke! How can you guess what the young lady is thinking? Who will she meet first? Who can say for sure?"

As he spoke, the envoy from Qi State gave a look to the people in his team.

Then, Bai Dacheng soon received the gifts from Qi State.

"These are our gifts to our young master. Please help pass them on for us."

Since Qi State is doing this, Liang State might as well give in more.

Bai Youli also received a few boxes of things. The key point was that both teams delivered gifts one after another, carrying boxes.

They all thought they were acting mysteriously, but they bumped into each other and the two teams faced off again.

So this time, both sides pointed at each other and started cursing outside the reception room.

"You are shameless and are imitating us again."

"You are the shameless ones. Follow us to Taohua Village."

"We were here first."

"We arrived at Taohua Village first."
