The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1063: Lively
Chapter 1063: Full of Life
She nodded to Qin Shangzhi: “Thank you Mr. Qin for the reminder. Mr. Qin, take care!”
Qin Shangzhi bowed again, and only stood up when he heard the sound of the wheels rolling over the ground fade away, and then he blessed Bai Qingyan in his heart.
Bai Qingyan fulfilled her promise and not only had a seat in the court, but also stood tall in the court and became the emperor of the Great Zhou. However, Qin Shangzhi in this life… would eventually have to follow the old path of his previous life and be loyal to the deposed prince of the Jin Dynasty.

When Bai Qingyan arrived in Pingyang City, Pingyang City was greeted by its first snow.
The people living on the border have always had deep feelings for the Bai family army and the Bai family. Upon learning that Bai Qingyan was coming, the people braved the snow and went out of the city early to welcome Bai Qingyan’s carriage.
During this period, elephant troops frequently appeared on the border. For the people of Pingyang City who had never seen such a giant animal as an elephant, they were naturally afraid.
There were many hunters in the mountains on the border between the two countries outside Pingyang City. Not only did they suffer, but some temporary dwellings built by the people of the Great Zhou in the city when hunting in the mountains were also trampled down by elephants.
The people spread the rumor that the elephant was extremely ferocious, just like the monsters in the legend. No one could resist it, and the people were in panic.
When the Xiang army reached the border, the rich and powerful in Pingyang City had already left with their families. Even the officials who always comforted them had transferred their money and families out of Pingyang City early. No one knew how desperate the people were when they saw such a scene.
They thought that once the war started, they would be the first to be abandoned by the Great Zhou.
Some people even cursed Bai Qingyan, saying that his heart had changed after he ascended the throne, and that they no longer had the backbone of the old King of the Town, Bai Weiting, and the generals of the Bai family who swore to protect them, the common people, to the death.
They hesitated whether to withdraw from Pingyang City, but once they left their homes they would become refugees. It was winter, and they might freeze to death if they didn’t starve to death. So they always held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that there was no sign of war yet, and never really left their homes.
The common people in the border areas are not like the common people in the big city. They know what is going on in the imperial court… The common people in the big city can still hear a little bit of the news, but the common people far away in the border areas can hear nothing at all. They can only guess, and the more they guess, the more scared they feel. They feel that their worthless lives have long been abandoned by the imperial court.
Later, Gao Yijun, Bai Jinzhi and Shen Kunyang brought the Bai family army to Pingyang City first, which made the people feel more at ease and let them know that the court had not abandoned them!
The imperial court sent the most valiant Bai Family Army of the Great Zhou Kingdom! The Bai Family Army was led by Gao Yijun, who destroyed Daliang!
The common people cried and greeted them in the streets that day. They knew… as long as the Bai family army was there, as long as the Bai family general was there, they would definitely fight to the death to protect these people in the border town!
Now, the Emperor of Great Zhou was coming in person. He was the Emperor of Great Zhou! Just when the wealthy families and officials of Pingyang City were moving their families and fleeing, their Emperor came in person and was with the people of the border town. How could they not be excited!
Their Majesty was once a famous god of death.
Bai Qingyan’s arrival made the people feel like they were drinking chicken blood!
They were not afraid even of heavy snow and had to come to welcome His Majesty the Emperor who was protecting them.
From a distance, they saw black heavily armored cavalrymen holding black sails and white python flags approaching slowly. The black flags fluttered in the snow. The people, whose heads and bodies were already covered with snow, saw it first and shouted excitedly, “It’s the black sails and white python flags! His Majesty is coming!”
Citizens gathered towards the door, and their voices of discussion became louder and louder.
“It’s His Majesty! His Majesty is really here!”
“Now that His Majesty has come, we are no longer afraid of the elephant army! His Majesty has really not abandoned us, the people of the border town! His Majesty has come in person!”
“That’s right! Great! We are saved!”
Joy and excitement are the most contagious emotions, and the people cheered excitedly.
“I told you that the Bai family army and His Majesty would never abandon us, the people of Border Town! You didn’t believe it at that time!” The man who said this had a red face from the cold, but his eyes were very bright and his expression was very proud. “Your Majesty is from the Bai family, and the generals of the Bai family are all fighting to the death to protect the people! Your Majesty is a child of the Bai family, and this will never change even if you ascend the throne!”
Shen Kunyang brought Cheng Yuanzhi, Lu Yuanpeng and Sima Ping with the generals of the Pingyang City garrison to look at the black sail and white python flag. When Lu Yuanpeng heard the cheers of the people, he could no longer hold back and stepped forward: “General Shen, I will go to greet the Bai family… Your Majesty!”
“What’s the name of His Majesty the Bai family?” Cheng Yuanzhi glared at Lu Yuanpeng who was covered in snow.
“Haven’t you always called me Sister Bai before? Are you used to it?” Lu Yuanpeng laughed.
“Wait here. It’s snowing so hard. If you get through here, our Xiaobai…”
Cheng Yuanzhi almost said something ridiculous, but before he could change his words, he heard Lu Yuanpeng howling loudly: “Oh oh oh… General Cheng, what kind of name is that!”
“You little bastard!” Cheng Yuanzhi raised his hand as if he was going to hit Lu Yuanpeng.
“Stop it!” Shen Kunyang turned around and shouted angrily.
Cheng Yuanzhi and Lu Yuanpeng both behaved themselves. Cheng Yuanzhi smiled at Shen Kunyang, and Lu Yuanpeng was afraid of General Shen Kunyang, so he avoided his gaze and rubbed his nose. In short, the two of them finally rode their horses obediently and stood behind without moving.
Sima Ping tilted his head and glanced at Lu Yuanpeng who was standing side by side with him, sighed and shook his head. Lu Yuanpeng could be considered a fool with luck, at least he caught the eye of General Cheng Yuanzhi, but he suffered a lot from the military stick… and he also suffered a lot as a result.
Thinking of this, Sima Ping felt that his buttocks were still a little painful. He stretched his waist and looked at the lively Lu Yuanpeng. Is this guy born in the Year of the Dog? How did he recover so well?
As soon as Shen Kunyang raised his hand, the soldiers immediately stopped the people to the sides and shouted for them to retreat, fearing that they would be injured by the carriages and horses that would come over.
Because it was snowing, Bai Qingyan’s carriage did not stop at the city gate. Only Shen Kunyang rode forward quickly to greet Bai Qingyan and told her that Bai Jinzhi was taking people out of the city to pick up the hunters at the border between the two countries and bring them into the city.
“These hunters all live at the border. There are people from our Great Zhou, Dayan, and Xiliang. They all make a living by hunting. I heard that before we came, the elephant army was active in the mountains, causing heavy losses to the hunters. Some hunters even lost their houses! As a result… as soon as it snowed, the fourth lady was worried that the people would not be able to withstand the severe cold, so she took people to pick up the people into the city.” Shen Kunyang said to Bai Qing.
Hearing this, she nodded.
When Bai Qingyan heard that Bai Jinzhi was going to take the people into the city, he felt comforted and whispered, “Xiao Si has grown up…”
