Chapter 1076: national treasure
Chapter 1076 National Treasure
“Ten years is enough time for the originally leased cities to truly become cities of the Tianfeng Kingdom! Only then can you be said to have taken root in this land!” Bai Qing’s words were merciless, directly pointing out the plot of the Tianfeng Kingdom’s monarch Sar Khan, “Only then can the Tianfeng Kingdom use these cities as strongholds, use the elephant army to capture cities and expand its territory.”
“Emperor Zhou is worrying too much!” Sar Khan denied with a smile, “If that’s the case, we can take over Xiliang now, use Xiliang as a base, and use the elephant army to attack cities and seize land, isn’t it the same?”
Bai Qingyan stopped in front of the carriage, turned his head and looked at Sar Khan, with the corners of his lips raised. The king of Tianfeng Kingdom did not want to break this layer of window paper, and wanted to leave some room for the two countries…
The Elephant Army is indeed a threat to the Great Zhou, but… after meeting the King of Tianfeng today, she knows very well that with the King’s ambition and the current situation of Tianfeng, this battle is unavoidable.
For the Tianfeng Kingdom, it is now winter and elephants are afraid of the cold… It is not a good time to start a war. But for the Da Zhou, the best opportunity to fight is now!
Therefore, Bai Qingyan said with a smile: “Whether it is excessive or not, the king of Tianfeng Kingdom naturally knows it, but for me… what the king of Tianfeng Kingdom said is different from the heart. As the emperor of Da Zhou, I naturally have to consider Da Zhou. I can’t use Da Zhou, such a big country, to gamble whether I am worrying too much. Therefore… Da Zhou cannot agree to the alliance proposed by the king of Tianfeng Kingdom! Moreover, Da Zhou and Xiliang are irreconcilable and will definitely go to war. Whether Tianfeng Kingdom intervenes or not is irrelevant to Da Zhou!”
Snowflakes fell on Bai Qingyan’s long eyelashes like feather fans. Bai Qingyan’s calm eyes, clear black and white, were unpredictable. He smiled lightly, calmly and gently, as if he was just talking about the most ordinary things with Sar Khan, without any hostility.
Looking at such gazes across the vast falling snow, Sar Khan’s anxious heart gradually calmed down.
Bai Qingyan had made it so clear, but…it was snowing heavily in winter, and the climate was not favorable for the elephant army. Sar Khan pursed his lips and said, “What if Yun Poxing is already dead?”
“There are also Yun Poxing’s relatives there, so just accept the challenge…”
After Bai Qingyan finished speaking, he was about to hold Bai Jinzhi’s hand to hold the carriage, but Sar Khan stretched out his hand: “Be careful…”
Bai Qingyan’s eyes fell on the jade cicada in Sar Khan’s hand and he paused.
Before Sar Khan could touch Bai Qingyan, Bai Qingyu grabbed Sar Khan’s wrist first. Yang Wuce put his thumb on the hilt of the knife alertly, and a cold light appeared. Shen Qingzhu and Bai Jinzhi stepped forward to protect Bai Qingyan first.
The guards behind Sar Khan immediately drew their swords, and the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty unsheathed their swords.
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.
“Uncle Nine!” Murong Li looked tense.
Murong Yan’s eyes darkened. “Let’s go and take a look. The Great Zhou has just signed an alliance with us. We can’t let anyone attack the Queen of the Great Zhou here.”
“Yes!” Yue Shi took the order and walked over there with a few guards.
Although Bai Qingyu was by Bai Qingyan’s side and would definitely protect him, he was still worried.
“It’s okay…” Sal Khan raised his hand to signal his guards to put away the knives.
Only then did Bai Qingyu let go of Sar Khan.
He bowed deeply and apologized to Bai Qingyan, “I’m sorry for scaring the empress.”
Bai Jinzhi looked at Sar Khan, who was trying to reach out to help her elder sister, with a strange expression, and pushed him away without hesitation and supported her elder sister.
When Bai Qingyan saw the jade cicada in Sar Khan’s hand, he almost subconsciously tightened the purse on his waist, where the jade cicada was lying…
“This is…” Bai Qingyan stared at the jade cicada in Sar Khan’s hand.
“Hey? Isn’t this… my brother-in-law’s jade cicada?” Bai Jinzhi looked at Sar Khan with eyes wide open, “Where did you get this?”
Bai Jinzhi had seen the jade cicada before. Xiao Rongyan always used to play with it in his hands.
Although Xiao Rongyan couldn’t see clearly, his hearing was always good. When he heard the words “brother-in-law” and “jade cicada”, he planned to find a chance to ask what was going on…
Sar Khan looked down at the jade cicada in his hand. When he heard Bai Jinzhi’s question, he became nervous and asked, “Have you seen this jade cicada, Gao Yijun?”
Bai Jinzhi was about to speak when she felt her elder sister pinch her hand. She said, “Of course I have seen it before, so I asked you… where are you from?”
“This jade cicada is the national treasure of Tianfeng Kingdom and the symbol of the kings of Tianfeng Kingdom. Originally, there was a pair of them!” Sar Khan bowed to Bai Jinzhi and said, “May I ask Lord Gao Yi, where is the other jade cicada now? If the jade cicada can be returned to Tianfeng Kingdom, Tianfeng Kingdom is willing to pay any price!”
“My late husband once had this jade cicada, but it disappeared afterwards. So… when Lord Gao Yi saw this jade cicada, he thought it was my husband’s jade cicada. But now it seems… it’s not.”
After saying that, Bai Qingyan nodded slightly to Sar Khan, and took Bai Jinzhi’s hand and got on the carriage.
The national treasure of Tianfeng Kingdom?
Bai Qingyan didn’t believe what the monarch of Tianfeng Kingdom said, but… judging from the nervous expression of the monarch of Tianfeng Kingdom, this jade cicada must be of special significance to Tianfeng Kingdom.
Bai Jinzhi helped Bai Qingyan onto the carriage and came out. She glanced at the King of Tianfeng Kingdom who was walking towards her holding a jade cicada, and her expression was not very friendly.
Who would have thought that the king of Tianfeng Kingdom would actually bow to Bai Jinzhi and say, “May I ask Lord Gao Yi, is the jade cicada of the empress’s husband exactly the same as the one in my hand? Is it missing, or buried with the emperor?”
Bai Jinzhi got angry when he heard this: “What? After I was buried with him, are you going to dig up my brother-in-law’s grave? My eldest sister said it’s lost, so it’s lost…”
After saying this, Bai Jinzhi jumped onto his horse, forcing Sar Khan, who was eager to know the whereabouts of the other jade cicada, to take two steps back.
Bai Qingyu also noticed Sar Khan’s nervousness towards Yuchan. He mounted his horse and shouted, “Let’s go!”
The cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty escorted the emperor’s carriage and slowly set out from the camp of the Four Kingdoms Alliance, heading towards the black armored army in the north with black sails and white python flags flying.
The heavy cavalry of Dayan also escorted the carriage carrying the Ninth Prince of Dayan and the Young Emperor of Dayan, and set out from the alliance camp, heading west with the flags of black birds and blue birds flying… There was an endless stream of heavy cavalry warriors marching.
Li Tianfu came out of the big tent, glanced at Sar Khan’s back, and raised the corners of his lips…
Even if the Tianfeng Kingdom does not want to be involved in this war, it has to be involved in it!
The king of Tianfeng Kingdom treated her like a fool all day long. Did he think she was so stupid that she knew nothing? Now the land of Tianfeng Kingdom was constantly being swallowed by sand. Only by opening up new land could the people of Tianfeng Kingdom have a foothold. Otherwise, the desert would swallow Tianfeng Kingdom and their people would die.
