Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Bai Guowei Came To General Bai’s Residence

Bai Xifeng was laughing when her father and brother argued about the general position. Her father wanted to resign and wanted her brother to take over the position. While her brother wanted her father to continue sitting in the position. He was the one who wanted to resign. Both father and brother tried to push the position on each other.

"Father, Brother, I understand that you want to resign. But, are you willing to give the emperor the soldiers that you are investing in and training just like that?" Bai Xifeng asked.

Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng were silent. They thought about that.

"No. We can not do that." Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng spoke at the same time.

"That’s right. You should not betray those who worked hard with you." Bai Xifeng nodded.

"Your Excellency, we are willing to go with you if you want to leave." A soldier shouted in his drunkenness.

He stood up and looked straight at Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng, even though he was swinging left and right. People often said that humans spoke about what they really wanted while they were drunk.

...

The next day, General Bai’s Residence received a guest. This guest came when Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng finally decided to go to the morning meeting. He refused to leave.

"Bai Chao, you are really here. I never thought to see you here." Bai Guowei smiled as he saw a familiar face.

"Master Bai Guowei.." Bai Chao greeted Bai Guowei awkwardly.

To think about, Bai Guowei was the one who fired Bai Chao because he felt Bai Chao was not treating him with respect, because Bai Chao used to address Bai Guowei as ’Second Master Bai’. He wanted to be the head of General Bai’s household at that time. So, he expelled Bai Chao from General Bai’s household.

"I don’t know that you are working with my brother. Sigh. Bai Chao... I want to apologise for what I have done to you. I should not have fired you before. By the way, does your family work with my brother as well?" Bai Guowei changed the topic.

Hearing about Bai Guowei’s question about his family, Bai Chao immediately became cold. ’How dare he speak casually about my family? Does he not remember what he has done? Yeah. A scumbag like this will never remember what he has done to others.’

"Master Bai Guowei, you don’t have to ask me about that. Why are you here anyway?" Bai Chao’s voice turned sharp.

Bai Guowei was slightly startled by the change. He looked at Bai Chao. Bai Chao looked back at him, brave and sharp. It was different from back then. He felt uncomfortable. So, he coughed to clear his throat.

"Well... I want to see my brother. Where is he?" Bai Guowei asked.

"Master Bai Guowei, you should know that at a time like this, His Excellency will be at the morning meeting with His Majesty and other ministers." Bai Chao answered.

"Huh? He finally goes to the morning meeting today? Why? Did he stay home for the past few days? Why is he finally going out today? Does he know that I am coming to the house today? Is that why he went to the morning meeting?" Bai Guowei frowned.

He thought that he would see Bai Xiang right now. He did not want to waste his time waiting for Bai Xiang here.

"It is true that His Excellency stayed home for these past few days. However, what His Excellency did there has nothing to do with you. And His Excellency certainly does not know that you are coming to the house today." Bai Chao stated.

Bai Xiang did not pay any attention to the Bai Family. Bai Guowei was not that important in Bai Xiang’s life. So, there was no way that Bai Xiang would know that Bai Guowei would come at this time.

"So, Master Bai Guowei, why are you coming to our residence?" Bai Chao asked.

"I already told you. I want to see my brother." Bai Guowei stated.

"Master Bai Guowei, you probably did not know. His Excellency will come home, probably in the evening." Bai Chao said.

"What? The morning meeting supposedly would end at most by the afternoon. Don’t think I don’t know about that." Bai Guowei frowned.

"After the morning meeting, His Excellency would go to the military ground." Bai Chao said.

"What is he doing there?" Bai Guowei asked.

"Master Bai Guowei, His Excellency is a General." Bai Chao looked at Bai Guowei like looking at an idiot.

Bai Guowei felt embarrassed when he realised his mistake.

"If you want to see His Excellency, you can go directly to see him, or you can tell me what you want from His Excellency, and I can tell him after he comes back, or you can wait for his return. However, you can only stay here." Bai Chao pointed to the place where Bai Guowei was standing.

"You expect me to stand here the whole day?" Bai Guowei could not believe his ears.

"You should know that our residence is supposedly closed to the guests. So, I can not be allowed to enter our residence. You are free to wait, but please don’t expect to enter our residence." Bai Chao stood still with it.

"You... You are a servant. How dare you stop me?" Bai Guowei became angry when he heard that.
