Bai Shiyuan welcomed Gu Ying into the cave.

The entrance of the cave looks unremarkable, and the road leading to it is extremely narrow, but after turning a few corners, the inside suddenly becomes brighter, and it turns out to be unique.

There are long lights everywhere in the cave, and the fuses inside are strange dried fish, which are pulled into the oil below with cotton threads, and the flames are also burning vigorously.

It can be seen that this place has been operated and maintained for a long time. Although it is in the belly of the mountain, there is no feeling of cold and damp in the cave.

Along the way, you can see servants and maids passing by, holding tableware, cleaning utensils and other items in their hands. Except for the layout of the surrounding caves, which looks a bit abrupt, it gives people a feeling of being in a deep house compound.

Bai Shiyuan has been leading Gu Ying to a secret room, which should be a study room.

"Young Master Ying, please take a seat."

When he spoke, a servant brought tea, and just by smelling it, he knew it was the best Longjing tea.

It seems that even while fleeing, the standard of living of the Bai family has never fallen.

"I heard the news from the whistle just now that Young Master Ying is here. You don't know how excited I am. It has been more than a month since we said goodbye last time."

"Although I don't know how the two of you are, the current situation of my Bai family is really not good."

Bai Shiyuan said with a wry smile, the worry in his eyes never dissipated.

"Bing'er said that if you didn't show up in Chucheng, something must have happened, so let me come out and see if I can find you."

Gu Ying also briefly described the purpose of his visit, and at the same time said, "I also want to know where Royal Doctor Tian and Mr. Du have gone."

"Tian Yuyi is in Chucheng. He said that there is one of the main traffic routes to the north, and there will be a major epidemic after a major disaster. As long as Chucheng is held, it can effectively prevent the epidemic from spreading northward."

"So according to his old man's request, I left him in Chucheng, and I also left behind quite a lot of money and materials. If nothing else happens, Mrs. Qin should be able to see him soon."

"As for Mr. Du, he continued to go north. You also know that the background of my Bai family is deeply feared by the imperial court. If there is no accident, it will be a major event. Therefore, it is dangerous for Mr. Du to follow us."

"I heard that Mr. Du also has an estate in the capital, so I sent someone to escort Mr. Du safely there. It can be considered that I have lived up to the trust of Mrs. Qin."

Bai Shiyuan explained the whereabouts of the two in one breath, and then took a sip from the teacup.

"That's it, it seems that I want to bring Mr. Du back to Bing'er and continue to chase north."

There was no embarrassed look on Gu Ying's face. As long as there were clues to him, no matter how far it was, he would definitely bring someone back to Mo Ruyue.

"Is Mrs. Qin looking for Mr. Du? I don't know why?"

Bai Shiyuan asked curiously, and then smiled at himself.

"Look at me, this is Mrs. Qin's private affairs. I can't take care of myself now, and I don't have time to inquire about other people's affairs."

"The babies can't go to school stably yet, Bing'er thought, maybe you can ask Mr. Du if he would like to be the baby's husband again."

Gu Ying actually answered every question he had, which was so different from his taciturn image, which surprised Bai Shiyuan, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"Now tell me what the trouble is with the Bai family."

Gu Ying asked again.

He could understand the scruples in Bai Shiyuan's heart, and he thought that they could lend a hand to help, but he felt that the involvement was too great to implicate them.

But in the eyes of him and Mo Ruyue, as long as it doesn't affect the safety of the babies, it's not a big deal.

Both of them are masters who are not afraid of the sky and the earth, so how can they care that the Bai family messes with the royal family.

In the end, Bai Shiyuan still explained all his troubles. Even if Mrs. Qin was only a genius doctor, Gu Ying was definitely the top elite among killers.

He is the object that even the Xiao family wants to win over, and his ability shows how terrifying it is.

Although it won't be able to fight against the entire country, what if you add the financial and material resources of the Bai family that have been dormant for many years and manpower?

Unless it is a last resort, the Bai family will not consider the last step at all.

However, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites.

Gu Ying listened quietly, and finally got a concrete understanding of the current situation of the Bai family.

"So now Patriarch Bai is in charge of breaking the post and dealing with the pressure from above, while Young Patriarch Bai, you want to send your family members safely across the blockade and to the safest fortress you have prepared, right?"

He briefly explained the division of labor between the father and son of the Bai family.

"Yes, the imperial court did not fortify Chucheng. Although this is also a major traffic road, the information they received was wrong, and they thought we had passed in advance."

"The defense line is now located in another hub city a hundred miles away, and it's still heavily guarded. This time we can't get through no matter what. I have no choice but to take my family into the mountain."

"What you see now is the temporary shelter that the ancestors of the Bai family began to prepare. The materials stored in it can provide for a hundred people to live for half a year."

"There are at least ten shelters like this from south to north, but four of them have been destroyed for various reasons."

Bai Shiyuan knew everything about such a confidential matter, because he knew that even if he didn't say it, Gu Ying's ability could still find out.

Once it is discovered that he is lying, the foundation of trust will be shaken, and for the Bai family, it is simply not worth the loss.

"No wonder,

I see that this cave is warm and dry, and it is by no means an effect that can be achieved overnight. "

Gu Ying nodded.

It seems that the grievances between the Bai family and the royal family have been going on for a long time, and these shelters have been laid out since Bai Shiyuan's ancestors.

The current one alone, without huge financial support, would not last long at all.

This also confirms from another aspect that the real strength of the Bai family is really unfathomable.

"Your wish is to send your family safely to the safest fortress, isn't it?"

Gu Ying pondered for a while, and said proudly: "It's not difficult, wrap it around me."

"Really, Young Master Ying? This, this is great!"

Bai Shiyuan couldn't believe it. In his opinion, things that were extremely difficult could be said so lightly in Gu Ying's mouth.

"I don't promise what I can't do."

If someone else said this, Gu Ying might still feel offended, but what Bai Shiyuan said was indeed extremely difficult, and it was normal for him to have doubts.

"Then, what does Young Master Ying need me to do now, despite the instructions, everyone in the Bai family will be dispatched by Young Master!"

Bai Shiyuan couldn't wait.

As long as the Bai family's family members are in that fortress, he and his father will no longer have to worry about it.

Even if he has to pay a higher price and go dormant again, it doesn't matter when his grandson slowly reappears.

The Bai family can withstand such losses and waiting. As long as the blood of the family can continue, everything is worth it.
