The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1094: Dishonesty
Chapter 1094: Improper Conduct Before the King
Today was the first time Xie Xun and Bai Qingyu met, so it was inconvenient for him to ask where Bai Qingyu had been…
No matter what, Bai Qingyu’s kindness in saving his life this time was real. Xie Xunming was grateful. He bowed to Bai Qingyu again, then mounted his horse and followed Murong Yan and Murong Li to lead the Yan army away.
After seeing off the Emperor of Yan and the Regent, when Bai Qingyu and Bai Jinzhi came back, they heard that Bai Qingyan had gone to inspect the camp. Bai Qingyu was startled… and then she remembered the habit of her father, Bai Qishan, when he was alive. No matter how tired he was after fighting a battle, her father would always rest assured only after inspecting the camp for the wounded. Now her sister does the same.
“Little Four, go back and have some rest!” Bai Qingyu turned to Bai Jinzhi and said, “Fifth Brother is counting on you to send out troops the day after tomorrow!”
When Bai Jinzhi heard this, a smile appeared between his eyebrows and he nodded vigorously: “Fifth brother, don’t worry, Xiaosi will do his best!”
“Go!” Bai Qingyu nodded to Bai Jinzhi.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, completely covering the blood-stained land and snow outside Pingyang City. People could not see the blood and broken limbs under the silver coat, and the scene was of peace and tranquility.
Inside the city, soldiers were busy bandaging and applying medicine to their comrades, and civilians helped transport stones and wood to repair the city gate that was damaged by the giant elephant…
In last night’s battle, many soldiers of the Great Zhou were sacrificed and even more were injured. After all, being stepped on by the giant elephant was no joke.
Lu Yuanpeng’s horse was kicked away by the fleeing giant elephant which was irritated by the chili smoke. Lu Yuanpeng vomited blood and fainted. If Sima Ping had not desperately pulled the unconscious Lu Yuanpeng out from under the giant elephant’s hoof, Lu Yuanpeng would have become a meat pie by now.
But Sima Ping was also stabbed on the back by a Xiliang soldier. He was lying in the barracks, enduring the pain and letting the military doctor help him apply medicine.
“How is Lu Yuanpeng?” Sima Ping looked at Lu Yuanpeng who had not woken up yet and asked worriedly.
“General Ma, don’t worry. General Lu is fine… Last night, His Majesty asked Doctor Hong to come and see him. Doctor Hong said that he injured his ribs, but it’s not a big problem. There are no internal injuries.” The military doctor covered Sima Ping with a quilt and stood beside the basin to wash his hands. “General Ma, I’m afraid you will have to sleep on your stomach until your injury heals.”
Sima Ping joined the army under the pseudonym Ma San, and everyone in the army called Sima Ping General Ma.
Sima Ping glanced at Lv Yuanpeng, whose eyes were tightly closed, and couldn’t help but worry: “Why hasn’t he woken up yet?”
“General Lu fell asleep…” The military doctor wiped his hands with a towel and smiled as he packed up the medicine box, “General Lu woke up once when His Majesty came to inspect the camp.”
Sima Ping: “…”
As he was speaking, Lu Yuanpeng, who was lying on the window, suddenly murmured, stretched out his hands from under the quilt and prepared to stretch, but he stretched his wound and immediately grimaced in pain.
Wei Zhong came in through the curtains and saw Lü Yuanpeng grimacing in pain. He smiled and asked, “General Lü, are you awake?”
The military doctor hurriedly saluted Wei Zhong.
When Lu Yuanpeng saw that it was Wei Zhong who came in, he quickly got up from the bed, put on his underwear, and saluted Wei Zhong quickly: “Eunuch Wei, is it Sister Bai… Did His Majesty send you here?”
Oh……
Sima Ping looked at Lu Yuanpeng with a silent sneer, then turned around and continued to lie down. He had worried about Lu Yuanpeng in vain. This guy’s recovery ability was like an indestructible bug. Why should he worry about him?
“That’s right. Your Majesty sent this old servant to invite General Lu and General Ma, saying…if the two generals can stand up, they should come and see you.” Wei Zhong said with a smile.
“Yes, yes, yes! Of course we can get up!” Lu Yuanpeng reached out and tugged at Sima Ping’s quilt, “Hurry up and get up! His Majesty wants to see us!”
Sima Ping: “…”
Lu Yuanpeng took the clothes and put them on. Sima Ping had never suffered such a serious injury since he was a child. He climbed up from the bed slowly, and Lu Yuanpeng even disliked his slow movements. He didn’t know who Sima Ping was trying to save with this injury!
After they put on their clothes, they followed Wei Zhong to the backyard to meet Bai Qingyan.
In the study, Bai Qingyan was discussing how to fight against the elephant army with Bai Qingyu, Bai Jinzhi, Shen Kunyang, Cheng Yuanzhi and Wang Qiulu. Wei Zhong took the two of them in directly.
The two were about to salute when they heard Bai Qingyan say, “You are all injured, there is no need to salute!”
When Lv Yuanpeng heard this, he covered his ribs and said happily, “Okay!”
Sima Ping knelt down despite the pain in his back, and then pulled Lu Yuanpeng to kneel down, and bowed to Bai Qingyan in a proper manner.
Bai Jinzhi, who had just returned from a patrol outside the city, had not yet put down the black gold whip in his hand. He smiled and pointed at Sima Ping with the whip: “Is this still the Sima Ping I knew? It’s been such a long time since we last met, and he has become a different person!”
Sima Ping still looked respectful and bowed his head: “The past is the past. Now I am meeting His Majesty, and I still have to observe the etiquette!”
No matter how close Lu Yuanpeng and Bai Qingyan were in the past, Bai Qingyan was just the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo at that time…she was just a princess or a princess with a nominal title, but now Bai Qingyan is the almighty Emperor of the Great Zhou.
There are too many emperors in history who promised to be brothers with their generals before they ascended the throne. After they ascended the throne, those brothers who had a close relationship with the emperor really thought that they could get along with the emperor as brothers as before. They did not understand the etiquette between the emperor and his subjects, the difference between the superior and the inferior, and the degree of advancement and retreat. They only cared about friendship. What was the result? How many of those who talked about friendship ended up intact? Most of them ended up with their families broken up.
Now that Lv Yuanpeng’s grandfather is the Grand Marshal in the court, second only to the emperor, Lv Yuanpeng should understand the distinction between the superior and the inferior, and the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects. Otherwise, if the emperor is happy and thinks that Lv Yuanpeng is honest and frank, and is unhappy… Lv Yuanpeng relies on his family background and does not distinguish between the superior and the inferior, which is impolite in front of the emperor.
When Lu Yuanpeng heard this, he glanced at Sima Ping and then secretly looked at Bai Qingyan.
Bai Jinzhi was amused by Sima Ping’s serious look: “Okay Sima Ping, we all know what kind of person you are in the capital…”
Before Bai Jinzhi could finish her words, she was stopped by the gaze of her fifth brother. Bai Jinzhi pursed her lips and shrank her neck.
Bai Qingyan was in a very good mood when he met old friends, especially… Whether it was Lu Yuanpeng or Sima Ping, although they were called dandies, they were actually pure-hearted people. Later, they were able to persist in the Bai family army. As noblemen who were brought up in pampered childhood, it was indeed rare.
“Everyone, get up!” Bai Qingyan turned and nodded to Wei Zhong.
Wei Zhong smiled and walked to the side, taking Bai Qingyan’s silver spear…
When Lu Yuanpeng saw the red tasseled silver spear, his back suddenly straightened, his fists tightened at his sides, and ecstasy appeared in his eyes.
He knew… that was the red tasseled spear of the Bai family’s elder sister.
The third update, and there is one more update… to make up for the overdue update. I will try to add more updates for Alliance Leader Feng Qing in these few days!
