Chapter 1081 Accomplishment
Li Zhijie turned around and told the two guards who came with him to wait outside the door. He lifted the hem of his gown and stepped into the gate of the Pingyang City Governor’s Mansion.
main hall.
Li Zhijie had already changed two cups of tea. The green window was making a slight knocking sound due to the wind. He couldn’t help but stand up and walk back and forth beside the fire.
Not long after, he heard a voice calling “Your Majesty” repeatedly from outside. He stopped and saw the cotton felt curtain being opened. Bai Qingyan, wearing a padded cloak, was supported by a maid and walked in. Behind him was a tall man with only half a silver mask on his face.
Li Zhijie didn’t think much about it and stepped forward to greet Bai Qingyan: “Your Majesty, I am honored to meet you!”
“King Yan has come to visit me late at night in the snow. I wonder what important matter is?” Bai Qingyan untied his cloak and handed it to Chunzhi, then sat down in the main seat. He told Chunzhi to go down first and not to serve tea, and raised his hand to motion Li Zhijie to sit down.
Li Zhijie understood that Bai Qingyan’s decision not to let the maid serve tea meant that he would not leave him too much time.
“Your Majesty, Li Zhijie came here this time to ask for help from the Great Zhou.” Li Zhijie did not dare to delay and went straight to the point.
Bai Qingyan leaned against the armrest of the chair and said with a smile: “I don’t understand what King Yan said. Xiliang has now signed an alliance with the Tianfeng Kingdom and has the protection of the Tianfeng Kingdom’s elephant army. Does it still need the Great Zhou to help?”
“Today, the four kingdoms are meeting. I’m sure Your Majesty has seen Li Tianfu, the traitor from Xiliang!” Li Zhijie’s face, which was already dusty and tired, became even uglier when he mentioned Li Tianfu. “Li Tianfu was supported by the Tianfeng Kingdom and is a puppet of the Tianfeng Kingdom. She was willing to sacrifice the entire Xiliang to avenge Lu Tianzhuo, just to destroy the Great Zhou! The Tianfeng Kingdom and Li Tianfu imprisoned our Xiliang Empress in the palace. We risked our lives to rescue the Empress. I hope Your Majesty will help us Xiliang regain our territory.”
“This is Xiliang’s national affairs. How can our Great Zhou interfere?” Bai Qingyan nodded, then asked with a smile, “Besides, what benefits will it bring to our Great Zhou if we help the Xiliang Empress regain the throne?”
“Your Majesty, with your wisdom and intelligence, must have understood the purpose of the Tianfeng Kingdom. The land of the Tianfeng Kingdom is gradually being swallowed by sand, and the Tianfeng Kingdom is now eager to find new land. The king of the Tianfeng Kingdom is a very ambitious person. What he wants is not Xiliang, a place to stand, but the fertile land of the Great Zhou.” Li Zhijie bowed to Bai Qingyan and saluted. “Now is winter, and it is also the time when the Tianfeng Kingdom’s elephant army cannot play a big role on the battlefield. If we wait until the midwinter is over and summer comes, the Tianfeng Kingdom’s elephant army will be invincible. At that time… it will be difficult to drive the Tianfeng Kingdom out!”
Bai Qingyu looked up at Li Zhijie who had a serious expression. What Li Zhijie said was not wrong. Elephants are naturally afraid of cold… If a war is unavoidable, then this is indeed the best time for Da Zhou to start a war.
“So, King Yan is here to persuade… our Great Zhou and Tianfeng Kingdom to go to war?” Bai Qingyan raised his eyebrows.
“Xiliang can lend a helping hand to Dazhou!” Li Zhijie said hurriedly.
“Oh…it turns out that King Yan is not here to ask for help, but to help the Great Zhou.” Bai Qingyan glanced at Bai Qingyu.
“It’s mutual assistance.” Li Zhijie didn’t beat around the bush and directly revealed his trump card to Bai Qingyan. “Now that the Huoyun Army has rescued our Majesty, we can hold back Li Tianfu’s troops to ensure that… Li Tianfu will never be able to spare any time to help the Tianfeng Kingdom! In this way… the Great Zhou can concentrate on dealing with the Tianfeng Kingdom!”
Fire Cloud Army…
Bai Qingyan rubbed the armrest of the chair with his fingers. The Fire Cloud Army was trained by General Guan for Xiliang.
“The Tianfeng Kingdom was the reinforcement invited by Xiliang. I didn’t expect that Xiliang would now join forces with the Great Zhou to deal with the Tianfeng Kingdom. Sister, you’d better be careful, lest… someone stabs you in the back.”
This hoarse and unpleasant voice sounded, and Li Zhijie suddenly looked towards Bai Qingyu. This voice… he was familiar with it, very familiar!
The ghost-faced prince of Rongdi!
Li Zhijie looked at the face that was half-masked, his eyes focused on the silver mask. Li Zhijie had seen the eyes behind the mask!
He suddenly remembered that the Ninth Prince of Dayan had told him that the Ghost-faced Prince of Rongdi was a member of the Bai family…
His body froze and he stared at Bai Qingyu. He just heard… this handsome man wearing half a mask calling Bai Qingyan “Sister”!
He stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open: “You are… the Ghost-faced Prince?!”
Bai Qingyu leaned on the armrest of the chair with one hand and his elbow. His eyes were calm, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised. He shook off the non-existent dust on his robe, crossed his legs and said, “Yan Wang, please be careful with your words. The Ghost-faced Prince of Rongdi died in battle because he resisted the King of Rongdi from surrendering to the Great Zhou. If I were the Ghost-faced Prince… how could I oppose surrendering to the Great Zhou?”
Li Zhijie knew that this was true, but the moment he heard the voice of the man in front of him and saw the eyes of the man in front of him, Li Zhijie could be sure that this person… was the Ghost-faced Prince whom he had met before.
His throat rolled over and he asked, “You are…”
“This is my younger brother, the fifth son of the Bai family… Bai Qingyu.” After Bai Qingyan briefly introduced Bai Qingyu, he stood up and said to Li Zhijie, “Although the four-nation alliance today ended unhappily, there is still room for further discussion. The Great Zhou has been conquering for many years and it is time to recuperate. Not to mention, I… have never forgotten that I promised the soldiers of the Bai family army to take revenge for them in three years.”
The flickering candlelight outlined Bai Qingyan’s cold features. Her eyes were indifferent and cold. “I once let Yun Poxing leave and gave him three years to prepare. If he doesn’t dare to come after three years, I will lead the Bai family army to knock on the gate. I dare not break this oath! If King Yan has nothing else to do, please go back first!”
Li Zhijie’s pupils trembled, and he turned around and bowed to Bai Qingyan: “Your Majesty! The Xiliang Fire Cloud Army can cooperate with the Great Zhou from inside and outside. If Your Majesty misses this opportunity, when spring and summer come, you will no longer have a chance to compete with the Tianfeng Kingdom’s Elephant Army! The Tianfeng Kingdom is ambitious, Your Majesty must not be fooled by the Tianfeng Kingdom!”
Fearing that he would never have the chance to meet Bai Qingyan again if he failed to convince him this time, Li Zhijie made a desperate move and said, “As long as Your Majesty is willing to help Xiliang, and drive away the Tianfeng Kingdom, Xiliang is willing to submit to the Great Zhou!”
After saying that, Li Zhijie lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt on one knee in front of Bai Qingyan: “Your Majesty, please grant me your blessing!”
It would be a good thing for Xiliang to surrender and avoid the bloodshed and sacrifice of soldiers and the unnecessary death of civilians, but the prerequisite is… Xiliang must be honest.
For example, the nail buried in the Great Zhou…Yun Lan!
Bai Qingyan looked at Li Zhijie who was kneeling on one knee, exchanged a glance with Bai Qingyu, then lowered his eyes to look at Li Zhijie who had an ugly expression… as if his spine had been broken inch by inch.
