Guoguo obviously doesn’t support their idea.
"But, the Qin Kingdom is entirely different from Great Chu. If you go there and encounter sothing, I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect you."
Guoguo said hesitantly, "Unless I agree to beco the next Duke Huan."
However, Bai Zhi’er and Feng Fuce both just smiled lightly upon hearing this.
Bai Zhi’er said, "Guoguo, no need to worry, we won’t encounter any danger."
"When soldiers co, we send generals to guard; when flood waters approach, we build embanknts. Have we not managed in this way before when traveling?"
"This trip to the Qin Kingdom, just treat it as an ordinary outing."
"We’ll go and reclaim what’s owed to you by Duke Huan and what he owes Chu Ping!"
Feng Fuce is a person of decisive and efficient action.
He directly ordered the Xiu Luo Envoy to prepare for the trip.
Feng Fuce even rembered to write a letter to Bai Zhi’er’s uncle, Xu Lianzhou.
So that when taking new orders, he could extend his influence to the Qin Kingdom.
This way, Bai Zhi’er could accumulate rit in the Qin Kingdom, achieving two things at once.
Bai Zhi’er was responsible for persuading her father.
The next day.
Bai Xilie was very much against his daughter going out to play again.
"Going out for fun is one thing, but why does it have to be for one or two months? The main issue is that it’s with Marquis Wan!"
"Zhi’er, how can your father be at ease? You’re just about to co of age and beco a young lady. What if so rogue takes advantage of you, how can your father protect you?"
Bai Zhi’er felt amused and frustrated.
"Father, didn’t I previously go out traveling with Brother Ce?"
"Besides, I’m quite formidable. No rogue would dare provoke ; I can protect myself."
"We’ll definitely be back in no more than two months!"
Great Qin isn’t far from Great Chu, with their prior travel pace, it takes about twenty or so days to reach the Ancient Great Qin.
Bai Xilie hesitated.
He wanted to say Marquis Wan was precisely that rogue.
But looking at his daughter’s expression, it was evident she had no guard against Feng Fuce.
Bai Xilie feared speaking too plainly and upsetting his beloved daughter.
"Zhi’er, do we absolutely have to go? Would you like to wait until your father finishes his current work, and I’ll accompany you!"
"Whether you wish to go to the suburb or Jiangnan, your father will accompany you to the end, how about that?"
Bai Zhi’er saw her father’s obvious worry.
She pulled out her ace.
"Dad~" Bai Zhi’er shook his arm back and forth, acting coyly: "I’m about to co of age."
"Mother once said that when she was my age, she’d traveled all over the Four Seas."
"My wish is to be like Mother, could Father agree and let accomplish what I want before coming of age?"
Bai Xilie couldn’t withstand his daughter’s coy persuasion.
He couldn’t even utter a word of refusal, only pursing his lips silently.
Bai Zhi’er persisted in coaxing: "Dad~ You are the best. All these years, without mother, it’s been you taking care of ."
"I believe Dad will surely strive to fulfill all my requests, and not let regret anything."
Bai Xilie sighed, "Must it be with Marquis Wan? Your several brothers, though not very useful, could at least protect you on the road. How about taking them instead?"
Bai Zhi’er reasoned, "Father, big brother is indeed formidable. When we’re out, if he dislikes anyone, he poisons them, wouldn’t that delay my journey?"
Bai Xilie mulled for a mont and nodded in agreent.
Indeed, the Eldest Heir’s impulsive disposition wasn’t suitable to accompany his precious daughter.
