The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1083: hold grudges
Chapter 1083: Hatred
“Eldest sister! Fifth brother!” Bai Jinzhi shouted and ran towards Bai Qingyan and Bai Qingyu.
Bai Qingyan turned around and saw Bai Jinzhi’s miserable appearance, and was shocked.
Bai Jinzhi had gone to see Xiao Rongyan off and had not returned yet, but she was not worried… After all, Shen Qingzhu was following Xiao Si. But who would have thought that she would see Bai Jinzhi coming back in this state.
Bai Jinzhi, who was shivering all over, didn’t care about etiquette and came in from the corridor and said, “When Sister Qingzhu and I came back, we saw Li Tianfu leading the elephant army towards Pingyang City. She wanted to capture Sister Qingzhu and me. The Bai family guards fought desperately to protect Sister Qingzhu and me and brought us back. Sister Qingzhu is now setting up defenses on the city wall!”
Bai Jinzhi said this with a frightened expression: “Sister… that elephant army is really scary, huge…”
“It’s okay! Don’t be afraid!” Bai Qingyan held Bai Jinzhi’s hand, and when he heard Bai Jinzhi gasp, he said, “Go find Doctor Hong to check your arm first, and don’t worry about the rest! Chunzhi…”
Chunzhi heard the voice and hurried forward: “I’m here!”
“Take the fourth girl to see Doctor Hong!”
Bai Jinzhi was worried and just opened her mouth: “But my elder sister…”
“The arm is important. Let Dr. Hong take a look. We’ll talk later!” Bai Qing said in an undeniable tone.
Bai Jinzhi then nodded and left with Chunzhi.
Even if he wanted to fight alongside his elder sister, he had to heal his arm first.
“With the cover of heavy snow and weather…” Bai Qingyu restrained her expression and looked at Bai Qingyan calmly, “I’m afraid they are going to besiege the city!”
“Everything must be done with a legitimate reason, especially when the alliance of the four countries has not yet been negotiated. If Tianfeng and Xiliang rashly send troops, it will only provoke a powerful counterattack from Dayan and Dazhou. Moreover, in the middle of winter, the elephant army of Tianfeng is not very friendly!” Bai Qingyan gently pinched the jade cicada hanging in his pouch, “and the king of Tianfeng is still thinking about your brother-in-law’s jade cicada. Will he rashly take action before finding out the whereabouts of the jade cicada?”
Therefore, Bai Qingyan thought that the Tianfeng Kingdom allowed Li Tianfu to lead the elephant army probably to play a deterrent role, rather than really letting Li Tianfu use the elephant army to capture Pingyang City.
“Let’s go to the city wall and take a look!” Bai Qingyan said with cold eyes.
“Sister, don’t go. I’ll go take a look!” Bai Qingyu’s eyes fell on Bai Qingyan’s abdomen. “Sister is pregnant now. If not for yourself, you should think about the child!”
“Don’t worry. Although Li Tianfu brought the elephant army, a war in winter is not good for the elephant army that Tianfeng Kingdom can rely on. Tianfeng Kingdom is not a fool! There will be no war today!” She looked at her brother, “Sister will never put herself in danger and make mother and you worry!”
“I’ll go with my sister!” Bai Qingyu held Bai Qingyan’s arm.
“Okay, let’s go together as siblings!” Bai Qingyan shook Bai Qingyu’s hand.

Li Tianfu sat under the shed carried by the giant elephant. She was wrapped tightly in a thick, fiery red fox fur cloak, leaving only her beautiful facial features exposed.
A lantern was hung in a corner of the luxurious shed on the giant elephant’s back, creating a hazy light that made Li Tianfu’s already stunningly beautiful face even more breathtaking.
Behind the thirty elephants followed the heavily armored Xiliang cavalry. Against the backdrop of the thirty giant elephants, the cavalry seemed as fragile as grasshoppers.
On the ancient city wall of Pingyang City, Shen Kunyang led the archers of the Bai family army and drew their bows and arrows to aim at the troops that stopped outside Pingyang City.
In the vast snowy night, the soldiers on the city wall could only see the vague outline of the giant elephant by the light of the fire. They had never seen such a huge beast before, and they couldn’t even imagine if such a beast attacked the city gate. Would the heavy and solid city gate be like a tattered old cloth in front of this giant elephant?
The soldiers all had tense expressions and aimed their arrows at the giant beasts, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
The giant elephant carrying Li Tianfu took a few steps forward under the command of the elephant trainer.
“Li Tianfu, take another step forward and be careful of the sharp arrows!” Lu Yuanpeng shouted loudly.
Shen Qingzhu had a stern expression and didn’t want to say anything more, so he snatched the bow from Lu Yuanpeng’s hand, pulled out an arrow from Sima Ping’s quiver, jumped onto the city wall, pulled the bow… and shot!
The sharp arrow flew through the air and rushed straight towards the elephant, but was knocked away after hitting the elephant’s armor…
Li Tianfu sneered contemptuously, raised his hand, and the giant elephant stopped.
“I am not here today to start a war with the Great Zhou. The Great Zhou does not need to be so nervous!” Li Tianfu curled his long hair with his slender white fingers, leaning lazily on the chair, “Li Zhijie, the traitor of Xiliang, led his men to escape into Pingyang City. Please hand over Li Zhijie to the Great Zhou, and we will withdraw our troops immediately.”
“Bullshit! The prince you lost in Xiliang is in our Great Zhou!” Cheng Yuanzhi’s voice was loud and rough, not giving any face at all, “I also said that I, Cheng Yuanzhi, had three million taels of gold and ran to your Xiliang. This Xiliang princess is delicate and thin-skinned… She must have shame. Return the three million taels of gold to me, old Cheng first!”
When Li Tianfu heard Cheng Yuanzhi’s words, her face darkened. She wanted to take this opportunity to start a war, but before she came, Sar Khan had told her that she would never be allowed to use the elephant army to start a war!
Moreover, the ones controlling the elephants this time were all Sar Khan’s men. Even if she wanted to start a war immediately, she couldn’t do it. With only her Xiliang soldiers, she was afraid that she would not be able to capture Pingyang City.
Li Tianfu suppressed his anger and said, “Is this the condition of the Great Zhou? Three million taels of gold… and you will hand over our Xiliang traitors?”
“Give me the gold first!” Cheng Yuanzhi said.
Li Tianfu clenched his fists: “It seems that the Great Zhou has gone crazy with poverty! Three million taels of gold in exchange for a traitor from Xiliang, the Great Zhou thinks too highly of Li Zhijie.”
“Princess, what you said is wrong. Our General Cheng didn’t say that if you gave him three million taels of gold, he would give you Li Zhijie! Our General Cheng is thick-skinned!” Lu Yuanpeng still had that nonchalant look that made people angry. “Oh, Princess Xiliang, please don’t look at me like that. I’m scared! Do you think I’ll be hated if I tell you the truth?”
Cheng Yuanzhi hit Lv Yuanpeng on the back of the head, and then shouted to Li Tianfu downstairs: “Princess Xiliang, don’t worry… I, Old Cheng, am very shy! If you send me three million taels of gold, I will definitely give you a man with the surname Li and the name of Jie!”
“General, do you really want to hand Li Zhijie over to her?” Lu Yuanpeng asked in a low voice.
“If she can really give us three million taels of gold as military pay, there are so many Xiliang people imprisoned in the prison. I say whoever is called Li Zhijie must be called Li Zhijie. If anyone dares to say no, we will beat them until they become Li Zhijie! If one is not enough… I, Old Cheng, will give them all to her! No matter whether they are men, women, young or old… everyone will be called Li Zhijie!”
Here is the third update. Good night, my dears!
