The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 1048 Return to the Great Zhou
When helping other countries, we should do so within our means. How can we mobilize the entire country’s resources?
Fortunately, on the way back, Xiao Ruohai had already seen the eldest girl mobilizing troops to prepare for resisting foreign enemies, and he felt relieved.
“I went to southern Xinjiang on the orders of the eldest lady and then sneaked into Xiliang. The people of Xiliang regarded the soldiers from Tianfeng as guests of honor, but… the Queen of Xiliang seemed to have realized that she was diverting water into the wall. It is easier to invite gods than to send them away. The Queen of Xiliang is now unable to drive the people of Tianfeng out of Xiliang, and she cannot tell the people the truth. She is really in a dilemma.” Shen Qingzhu also said.
There is one more matter that Bai Qingyan asked Shen Qingzhu to investigate privately. Now that everyone is here, Shen Qingzhu can’t say it directly.
“Miss, today the Tianfeng Kingdom has entered Xiliang and has repeatedly tested the borders of our Great Zhou but has never violated. I guess they are not sure about the strength of our Great Zhou, so they are still hesitating. I think… they won’t be able to hold back for long before they try Rongdi or Dayan.” Xiao Ruohai said.
“Does Aqi know all the information you have found?” Bai Qingyan asked.
“I told the Third Young Master before I came back…” Xiao Ruohai nodded.
Outside the palace, Wei Zhong’s voice came: “Your Majesty, the Queen Mother sent someone to invite you to dinner!”
Today is Bai Qingyan’s birthday. Originally, the Ministry of Rites wanted to hold a grand celebration, but Bai Qingyan said that all the money should be saved for military expenses, and the family could just have a meal together on her birthday.
So this year, it was Dong who arranged Bai Qingyan’s birthday.
“Brother Ru, Qingzhu and Qingsheng have just returned. Go wash up and rest first! Come directly to the Queen Mother’s Palace later… Today is a family dinner. We are all family, so let’s have a good meal…” Bai Qingyan looked at Chuntao again, “Take advantage of Qingsheng’s return to settle Chuntao and your affairs!”
Chuntao’s face suddenly turned red and she knelt there without saying a word.
Chen Qingsheng, on the other hand, immediately stepped forward and kowtowed to Bai Qingyan: “Thank you, young lady!”

Just as Xiao Ruohai said, at this time the elephant army of Tianfeng Kingdom bypassed the border between Da Zhou and Xiliang, and with the elephant army wearing fur and heavy armor, bypassed Chuanling and approached the border between Xiliang and Rongdi.
Dong Changlan, who had been entrenched on the border between Rongdi, Dazhou and Xiliang, received the news and immediately sent someone to send the news back to Dengzhou.
When Dong Changlan’s message arrived, Lupin had just arrived in Dengzhou. Lupin led his men on horseback and rushed to Dengzhou day and night. He was originally planning to change horses and clothes and rush to Rongdi, but he did not expect to hear the news that the elephant army of Tianfeng State was approaching Rongdi.
Why did the eldest girl say that it was time for the fifth son Bai Qingyu to return home? It was simply to let Rongdi join the Great Zhou and deter Xiliang and Tianfeng from invading.
Rongdi is the horse farm of the Great Zhou, no one can get involved!
Moreover, if Rongdi were really lost, then… the Great Zhou would be in a situation where it would be attacked from both sides, so Rongdi must not be lost!
Lupin no longer concealed the truth, and said to Dong Qingyue with a fist: “To be honest with you, Governor, this time… Lupin was ordered by the eldest lady to go to Rongdi to find the fifth young master and tell him… it’s time to go home!”
When Dong Qingyue heard this, his palms tightened. Having been on the march and fighting for many years, Dong Qingyue naturally knew Bai Qingyan’s purpose.
Dong Qingyue said without delay: “I will send someone to take you there. You should go find Ayu right away and tell him the news! Tell him… I am here and will never let the Xiang army enter Rongdi. Tell him to take down Rongdi!”
“Yes!” Lupin did not rest either, and followed the people sent by Dong Qingyue to escort him and headed straight for Rongdi.
“Dong Changmao! Go to the military camp immediately! Beat the drum! Gather all the troops! Go to battle!” Dong Qingyue said loudly.
“Yes!” Dong Changmao responded and rushed out hurriedly.
Dong Qingyue was about to change his armor when he thought of something and took two steps forward, shouting, “Bring all the flags of the Dengzhou Army and the Great Zhou!”
For a moment, the sound of trumpets and drums in the Dengzhou military camp was deafening.
Following Dong Qingyue’s instructions, Dong Changmao ordered his men to bring along the military flags of the Dengzhou Army and all the flags of the Great Zhou.
The people of Dengzhou City all gathered outside the city to watch, asking everyone they met if the Rongdi were invading again. It was the first time they saw the Dengzhou army set out in such a mighty force, and it was the Dengzhou governor Dong Qingyue who personally put on his armor and sword and led the troops out.
Some people have hurried home to pack up their belongings so that if a fight really breaks out, they will be prepared and will not be too passive.

It’s dusk.
In the rolling sea of clouds in the distance, the magnificent and majestic mountains reveal the snow on their peaks that has not melted for thousands of years, and are reflected by the setting sun into dazzling golden purple, holy and majestic.
The boundless wilderness seemed to have no end, stretching for hundreds of miles, to the foot of the snow-capped mountains… to the end of the sky as far as the eye could see.
As the black gold sank to the west, the black clouds slowly moved towards the west, gradually engulfing and covering the entire grassland with darkness and stars…
Under the sea of clouds rolling in the wind, the flags of the Dengzhou Army and the Great Zhou were lined up in a row, fluttering in the wind, just like the grassland with no end in sight.
Dong Qingyue was wearing armor, holding a spear and standing at the front on horseback. Behind him, under the rolling flags of the Dengzhou Army and the Great Zhou, the Heavy Shield Army looked calm and the archers were ready. Behind them was a large group of Dengzhou cavalry, with great momentum.
Half a mile away, the terrifying elephant army was also ready to go, the giant beasts were howling, and the scene was shocking.
The Dengzhou cavalry, who had never seen such a giant beast participating in the battlefield, tightened their grip on the hilts of their swords at their waists, feeling heavy in their hearts and cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.
Above the grassland where a strong wind suddenly blew, vultures, a symbol of death, circled and screamed, the sound was piercing.
General Akshay of Tianfeng Kingdom sat on the largest beast, leaning against the backrest and looking at the flags of Dengzhou Army and Great Zhou fluttering in the distance. He remembered that he had seen that flag on the border between Xiliang and Great Zhou.
The scout rode back quickly, reined in his horse and shouted to Akshay: “General! It’s the army of the Great Zhou!”
How did the Great Zhou come to Rongdi…
Dong Qingyue’s red cape fluttered. He raised his arm and pointed his spear at the Tianfeng Kingdom’s elephant army. He shouted in a deep voice: “Listen, people of Xiliang and Tianfeng Kingdom. This Rongdi… has been surrendered to our Great Zhou! If you dare to attack us, we will be at war with our Great Zhou!”
As soon as Dong Qingyue’s deep and rough voice fell, the Dengzhou cavalry drew their swords together, and the archers stepped forward in unison, pulled their bows and arrows, aiming the flaming arrows in the direction of the Tianfeng State Elephant Army, waiting for Dong Qingyue’s order, and then thousands of arrows were fired!
Akshay clenched his fists. When he heard Dong Qingyue’s voice and looked at the flames rising and falling in the distance, he almost lost his temper. But when he thought of his master’s arrangements and instructions, he slowly loosened his clenched fists.
“Go and send a message to the general of the Great Zhou, and tell him… our Tianfeng Kingdom has no intention of being an enemy of the Great Zhou. It’s just that the Rongdi wanted to attack Xiliang, and the Queen of Xiliang formed an alliance with the Tianfeng Kingdom, and asked our Tianfeng Kingdom to subdue the provocative Rongdi…”
