The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1086: die in vain
Chapter 1086: Unjust Death
The Bai family guard who tried to hit the blade with his neck missed it, and his back hit the chest of the Xiliang soldier, and he fell to the ground…
With the corpses of Xiliang soldiers behind them and determined to die, the Bai family guards looked up at Bai Qingyan through the heavy snow, but they could only see the outline of Bai Qingyan drawing the bow and arrow under the lantern, and their eyes became hot.
“Protect His Majesty!” The Xiliang soldiers roared, and the giant elephant carrying Li Tianfu retreated hastily. The heavy shield soldiers quickly stepped forward and prepared for battle.
“Bai Qingyan! How dare you kill my Xiliang soldiers!” Li Tianfu clutched the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, almost standing up, and shouted loudly at Bai Qingyan.
Shen Kunyang looked at the way Li Tianfu pointed at Bai Qingyan, wishing he could chop off that woman’s claws. He tightly grasped the sword at his waist and raised his deep voice: “Archers, get ready!”
The archers and crossbowmen of the Great Zhou, who were bending over and leaning against the city wall, heard the order, dipped their arrows in the flaming kerosene barrels, drew their bows, and aimed directly at the Xiliang Army and Tianfeng Army besieging the city below the city wall.
The wind and snow were howling, and the kerosene dripping from the arrows fell to the ground along with the snow. The Xiliang Heavy Shield Army saw the flames falling from the top of the city wall, which were still burning when they landed, and they kept retreating.
The countless flames that suddenly lit up on the city wall, outlining the towering city wall that had stood for a hundred years in the wind and snow, actually made the general of Tianfeng Kingdom sitting on the back of the giant elephant feel an extremely strong sense of oppression.
As a soldier, he was naturally sensitive to the dangers of the battlefield, and he felt that there seemed to be danger… like a poisonous snake winding through the tall grass, approaching him silently, hissing and spitting out its tongue, ready to bite his ankle at any time…
He felt that this was a revelation from the gods, and he wanted to retreat, but he was inevitably bewitched by Li Tianfu’s words just now. He thought that if he could capture the Emperor of the Great Zhou alive, it would be a great achievement. He was the general chosen by the gods for the Tianfeng Kingdom, and the Tianfeng Kingdom swore allegiance to the gods until death, so the gods would definitely protect him!
The general of the Tianfeng Kingdom, who had the Tianfeng Warrior’s pattern tattooed on his face, showed an expression of struggle.
As soon as Li Zhijie stepped onto the city wall, he heard Li Tianfu’s shout and Shen Kunyang’s deep and powerful voice.
Li Zhijie, who had just spoken a few words to Liu Rushi, was brought to the city wall. When he saw Tianfengguo and Li Tianfu leading the elephant army to besiege the city, his palms tightened…
On the way here just now, he heard that the Tianfeng Kingdom and Li Tianfu were actually surrounding Gao Yijun on his way back from the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was the guards of the Bai family who fought desperately to carve out a bloody path for Gao Yijun, allowing him to escape back to Pingyang City.
Now looking down at the tower, Li Tianfu’s Xiliang soldiers actually captured the Bai family guards alive to threaten Bai Qingyan, clearly wanting to start a war! Is the Tianfeng Kingdom crazy? Just following Li Tianfu’s blind act!
He admitted that he did intend to use himself to enter Pingyang City and stir up hostility between Da Zhou and Tian Feng, so that they would have a chance to help Li Tianjiao regain the throne.
But after all, now is the time for the four nations to form an alliance, and he never expected that the Tianfeng Kingdom would declare war on Da Zhou and ask for him in a strong manner when the dead of winter was not favorable for their elephant army!
Li Zhijie’s eyes fell on the guards of the Bai family… and the Xiliang soldiers who were shot dead by Bai Qingyan. In the cold wind, a layer of sticky sweat formed on the palms of his hands.
Their Xiliang auxiliary general Yun Poxing had dealt with the Bai family many times and once said that the Bai family was the most protective of their own people and would never let their own soldiers die in vain if possible.
Come to think of it… Bai Qingyan would exchange him for those Bai family guards, right?
Of course he would, otherwise why would Bai Qingyan ask someone to bring him to the city wall?
Li Zhijie had long experienced Bai Qingyan’s wisdom. Perhaps at this moment Bai Qingyan had already guessed that he was the one who brought the people here. He had brought so much trouble to the Great Zhou. Now the Bai family guards were in Li Tianfu’s hands. According to Bai Qingyan’s personality, he would definitely use him to exchange for others.
Li Zhijie was not afraid of death. As long as his death could allow Tianfeng Kingdom and Da Zhou to confront each other, his death would be worthy.
But what he was afraid of was… that the Great Zhou would hand him over, and then make peace and form an alliance with the Tianfeng Kingdom. Then Li Tianfu would certainly do his utmost to search for and kill Li Tianjiao. Xiliang would have no future if it fell into the hands of Li Tianfu!
Li Tianfu is a lunatic who will do anything to avenge Lu Tianzhuo. She will destroy Xiliang for that eunuch Lu Tianzhuo.
Although Liu Rushi was a scholar, how could he sit still when His Majesty was in Pingyang City and the army was besieging the city? He also heard that Bai Qingyan had already climbed up the city wall, so he took a cloak and rode quickly to follow without saying a word.
The young general who received orders from Bai Qingyan to lead troops to evacuate the people and transfer them to the north gate… to prevent the Tianfeng Kingdom and Xiliang from attacking the city, brushed shoulders with Liu Rushi and ran all the way down, shouting to recruit troops to evacuate the people.
Liu Rushi was almost unable to open his eyes due to the wind and snow, his heart was in his throat, the urgency of the impending battle forced Liu Rushi, who had never been on the battlefield, to have his heart beat faster. He wanted to borrow a knife. If a real fight broke out in a while, he had to protect Bai Qingyan first. After all, Bai Qingyan was pregnant now, and could not fight to the death like before. But… who among the soldiers had an extra knife to lend to this weak scholar who could not even tie a chicken?
Li Tianfu saw Li Zhijie, and the anger that had already surged to the top of his head was suppressed again. He sneered at Li Zhijie and said loudly: “Li Zhijie… Do you think that I can do nothing about you escaping to the territory of the Great Zhou? Isn’t the Great Zhou Emperor Bai Qingyan afraid of the elephant army of the Tianfeng Kingdom and is ready to hand you over!”
Li Tianfu deliberately provoked, trying to force Da Zhou to take action.
Li Tianfu’s words did indeed anger the soldiers of the Great Zhou, but Bai Qingyan and Shen Kunyang had not given any orders, so they could not shoot even if they wanted to.
For the safety of the Bai family guards, Bai Qingyan suppressed his anger and decided to wait a little longer… to buy time for General Cheng and A Yu.
She glared at Li Tianfu coldly and ordered Shen Kunyang: “Take people to take Li Zhijie away and exchange our Bai family guards back…”
“Yes!” Shen Kunyang took the order.
Bai Qingyan turned to look at the pale-faced Li Zhijie, and said with a half-smile: “You are the one who led the people here. My Bai family guards are in the hands of Xiliang and Tianfeng Kingdom. I can only use you to exchange for my Bai family guards to be safe and sound. As for whether you can survive, it all depends on your fate!”
Li Zhijie’s face became more and more ugly. As expected… Bai Qingyan knew everything in his heart. He bowed to Bai Qingyan and said, “I’m sorry, I’m just… afraid that Da Zhou would not dare to go to war with Tianfeng Kingdom, so I thought about…” Thinking of forcing the two countries.
Bai Qingyan didn’t want to listen to Li Zhijie’s explanation anymore, so he turned around and said to Shen Kunyang, “Take him away!”
