But judging from the serious looks on their faces, they were definitely not joking.
At that moment, Bai Lu had no idea what to do.
Because he really could not figure out their intentions.
"If Captain Bai feels that it is difficult, why don't you invite the commander over for us?"
At the critical moment, it was Lin Mengya who helped Bai Lu out of his predicament.
The latter looked at them with a complicated expression, but eventually nodded and walked out of the barracks.
The three of them did not wait for long before they heard some movement outside.
Then, the door of the barracks was pushed open.
A white-haired but hale and hearty old man walked in from the outside in a grand manner.
That person was wearing a soft armor and a long saber at his waist. A chilling aura assaulted one's face, causing one to involuntarily want to retreat. It could also deter thieves and thieves.
But what surprised the old man was that none of the three young men in front of him were afraid.
Not to mention the strongest one.
He was full of hostility, and it was obvious that he was a tough man who had fought his way out of a sea of blood.
As for the other elegant young man, his expression didn't change either. However, his expression was a little more solemn.
What surprised him the most was that delicate and weak little girl.
It seemed that the two men were trying to protect her.
But not only was she not afraid, she was also looking at her long saber with interest.
Without batting an eyelid, he took in the expressions of the three of them.
Bai Cheng, the commander of the Bai Family's guards, was also sitting at the head of the table.
"I heard that the three of you want to see me?"
Bai Cheng was not his original name, and he was not related to the Bai Family by blood.
It was just that when he was young, he had received a favor from the previous master of the family.
He came from a military background, and he was very loyal.
Therefore, with the support of the previous master of the family, he rebuilt the guards.
Thanks to him, the Bai Family was able to stand firmly in the world.
But all these years, the Bai Family was not completely unharmed.
Therefore, Bai Cheng could be considered as a veteran who had been through hundreds of battles. He was comparable to Lin Mengya's father.
And because of his relationship with the previous master of the family, he could be said to be neutral and loyal to the Bai Family.
If anyone tried to threaten the interests of the Bai Family, he would definitely treat them as a threat.
It was the same for the Gong family.
The three of them greeted Bai Cheng, and the latter did not directly display any hostility or dissatisfaction.
However, he was still very guarded against the three of them.
"That's right. We came here today to ask the Great Commander to uphold justice for our Gong Family."
Gong Er had a feeling of appreciation for this commander.
He had always done things openly and frankly, which made Bai Chenggao take a look at him.
"Oh? Since it's a matter of the Gong Family, there's no reason for me to ignore it. However, my words carry little weight. I'm afraid I can't make such a decision. "
"The Great Commander is responsible for the peace of Fengyuan City. We were bullied here, so we naturally came to find the Great Commander."
The pretty little girl opened her mouth. Bai Cheng had actually heard of her before.
How could a woman who could make the Bai Family Head feel fear be a small fry?
Although Bai Cheng did not show it on his face, he was still dissatisfied with her.
"Little girl, the safety of Fengyuan City is indeed my responsibility. However, if someone wants to make trouble out of nothing, I will definitely not sit idly by. "
Lin Mengya had already sensed the hostility in Bai Cheng's words. It seemed that Bai Cheng was a little angry with her because she had attacked him several times before.
It didn't matter. After all, she was in the right, so she naturally had to be bold and confident.
"Of course, but we still have to do what we have to do. Great Commander Bai, we're not here to make trouble today. When my Elder Ancestor and Third Young Master first came to the Bai Family, they suffered a lot. I'm sure Great Commander Bai knows about what happened back then, right? "
Hearing her speak so openly, Bai Cheng, who had been scheming in his heart, was a little surprised.
However, he did not reveal any of it, and only looked at her calmly.
"I've heard about this, but I heard from Bai Lu that it was all a misunderstanding. Since it was a misunderstanding, why did you have to be so overbearing? It's better to squash enmity than keep it alive. In my opinion, why don't we both take a step back and bury the hatchet? "
In his words, Bai Cheng sided with the Bai Family.
However, Lin Mengya was not angry. After all, Bai Cheng was a member of the Bai Family, and he was protecting the interests of the Bai Family.
However, this did not mean that she had to take a step back.
She took a few steps forward, with her chest out and her head held high, not giving in an inch.
"Of course, Great Commander Bai wants to turn a big problem into a small one, and a small one into nothing. But from now on, the reputation of the Gong Family will be tarnished, and I don't know how to explain it to the rest of the Gong Family. Could it be that in Commander Bai's eyes, the reputation of the Bai Clan's Patriarch is worthless? "
Her attitude was not very tough, but her words were full of pride.
However, Bai Cheng put away his slightly contemptuous attitude.
Previously, he had always thought that an aristocratic family headed by a woman would be less majestic than other aristocratic families.
Only now did he realize that not all girls were soft and weak.
For example, the one in front of him.
"Isn't what you said a little too serious?"
"Serious? What is really serious in the eyes of Great Commander Bai? Why don't you go and listen to the gossip in the city about how they slander the Gong Family's head? Although the Master of the Gong Family is a woman, Great Commander Bai should have heard that it is difficult to deal with women and villains. The Master of the Gong Family is a person who bears grudges. "
Bai Cheng was choked by her words.
Even he had to be careful when it came to the Master of the Gong Family.
In the aristocratic families, the only person who could not be easily offended was the Master of the Gong Family.
It should be known that insulting the Master of another family was equivalent to issuing a challenge.
Even if the Gong Family wanted to attack the Bai Family, they were in the right.
He suddenly felt a little regretful. He knew that the Gong Family was difficult to deal with, but he still tried to take them down a notch.
In the end, it was his own horse that was taken down, which made him feel inexplicably angry.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Gong San immediately came out to mediate, "My sworn sister has such a straightforward character, please forgive her, Great Commander Bai. However, this matter was still unresolved. Please enforce the law impartially, Great Commander Bai. I will be very grateful. "
With a way out, Bai Cheng had no choice but to step down.
That girl had a very formidable mouth. Every time she opened her mouth, she mentioned the Master of the Gong Family. It was as if she wanted to make a big deal out of this matter.
Bai Cheng was no fool. After carefully thinking it over, he understood what she meant.
He now understood that the three siblings of the Gong Family had come prepared.
"This matter truly is part of my duty. However, Sir Xunyang is currently involved in an old case, so I'm afraid that this matter of yours will have to be delayed. "
"That's even better. Since there's already a case involved, perhaps there'll be a pleasant surprise. Perhaps these two matters can be combined into one. This will also save Great Commander the trouble of running around again. "
She seemed to have eaten gunpowder today, not showing any mercy to the Great Commander.
The latter was being propped up step by step by her, so much so that he had no choice but to agree.
Great Commander Bai shot a glance at the girl, feeling rather awkward inside.
It was one thing to not be afraid of him, but why did he feel like he was a head shorter in front of this girl?
"This …"
"Could it be that Great Commander is afraid of hard work? However, Commander Bai truly is rather old, but his position is his own. If Great Commander Bai feels that his strength is not up to his will, it would be better to abdicate early. "
"Xiao Mei, don't be rude!" Gong San rebuked her powerlessly, then hurriedly put on a fawning smile and said, "Great Commander, please don't bicker with a child. In this matter, we still have to rely on Great Commander."
Bai Cheng was very depressed.
He could already tell that of these two siblings, one was playing the good cop and the other was playing the bad cop.
Oh, there was also the one overseeing the situation. He was constantly staring at him, like a wolf cub. If he dared to act against his younger brother and sister, he would immediately pounce and tear at him.
He really couldn't hit him, couldn't scold him, and couldn't send him away either.
Gritting his teeth, Bai Cheng said, "Since this matter has occurred in our Bai clan, our Bai clan has no reason to shirk responsibility. How about this? Just wait patiently for a few days. Once I've finished with this matter, I'll take care of it. How about it? "
This was the last concession he would make.
In truth, he did look down on Sir Xunyang, but it wasn't because of a personal grudge. Rather, it was because practitioners of martial arts were innately at odds with those who danced about literature and ink.
But behind Sir Xunyang was the Bai clan.
He knew that in the cooperation between noble clans, there were some heads that could not be lightly lowered.
Because this not only represented a certain person, but also represented who would hold the upper hand in the future alliance.
The Gong clan's repeated counterattacks had already forced the Bai clan into a disadvantageous position.
If they didn't think of a way to reverse this decline, they would probably end up in the hands of the Gong clan in the future.
That was why he wanted to take advantage of them in this matter.
But he hadn't expected that these three juniors were all masters with skin thicker than the city walls.
They were all scholars encountering soldiers, unable to reason with them.
But if he were to encounter these unreasonable juniors, it would truly be very sullen. It wasn't like he could really throw away his old face.
"Nothing." Lin Mengya said in a coquettish tone, "We don't care how you solve the internal problems of the Bai Family, but the Gong Family has been humiliated because of you. The longer the truth is revealed, the longer we suffer. Why should we do that?"
Bai Cheng's face darkened. He stared at the girl in front of him and felt that she was doing it on purpose.
"Then according to Miss, what should we do?"
"If you ask me, I think both sides should do it at the same time. I heard that this incident was all because of Sir Xunyang's biased beliefs, causing his own son to suffer such injustice. Coincidentally, we were also wronged because he didn't distinguish between right and wrong. You can make the same mistake twice. This Sir Xunyang is truly extraordinary. "
Ignoring the sarcasm in her words, Bai Cheng suddenly thought of something.
