Chapter 1095: Not Surprised by Favor or Disgrace
Sister Bai has always kept her word. Once in front of the city gate of Dadu City, Sister Bai said… when he joins the army and makes achievements, she will give him her red tassel silver spear!
Before Bai Qingyan said that he would give the red tassel silver spear to Lu Yuanpeng, Lu Yuanpeng already had a premonition that he would be the next owner of the red tassel spear, and he wiped the sweat from his palms on his clothes unconsciously.
“It seems… Yuanpeng already knows why I called him here?” Bai Qingyan looked at Lu Yuanpeng’s expression, with a smile between his eyebrows.
Lu Yuanpeng chuckled dryly and straightened his back when he saw Bai Qingyan taking the red tasseled silver spear from Wei Zhong.
“I once said that when you join the army one day, I will give you this red tassel silver spear. Now you have done better than I thought. Even General Shen and General Cheng are full of praise for you two!” Bai Qingyan carefully arranged the red tassel on the red tassel spear, then walked to Lu Yuanpeng and said with a smile, “This spear was made for me by General Shen when I went to the battlefield…”
When Shen Kunyang heard this, his smile deepened and he looked at Lu Yuanpeng.
“General Shen once said that he hopes I can kill more enemies with this silver spear and gain merit!” She looked at Lu Yuanpeng seriously with smiling eyes, “Today… I will give this silver spear to you, and I hope you can kill more enemies and gain merit!”
Lu Yuanpeng glanced at Shen Kunyang with his shining black eyes, wiped his palms on his clothes again, took the red tassel silver spear handed over by Bai Qingyan with both hands, held it tightly in his hands, and said solemnly: “Bai family… Your Majesty, don’t worry! Yuanpeng will definitely kill more enemies! I must become a general as powerful as Your Majesty! Bring honor to this red tassel spear! And bring honor to my father-in-law!”
Seeing Lu Yuanpeng’s serious expression, Bai Qingyan nodded: “You will definitely become a good general. You should learn more from General Cheng in the future!”
“Yes!” Lu Yuanpeng held the red tasseled silver spear in his arms, made a fist-clasping gesture towards Bai Qingyan, and couldn’t help laughing.
Bai Qingyan turned to look at Sima Ping, who was in a respectful manner… and no longer looked lazy and unrestrained like he had been in the capital city, and said, “General Shen told me that you are a talented general. Yesterday, I was on the city wall… and saw that you used the sword very well.”
Yesterday, Lv Yuanpeng was extremely brave. He galloped all the way and even got ahead of Cheng Yuanzhi. He rushed all the way and approached the tower…
Sima Ping was worried and followed behind.
It was because Lu Yuanpeng rushed forward too fast that he did not have time to dodge the giant elephant, and the horse he was riding was kicked away.
When Sima Ping heard that Bai Qingyan saw him on the city wall yesterday, his palms tightened and he was happy in his heart, but he still lowered his eyes and was respectful, as if he was not surprised by praise or criticism.
Wei Zhong held a long sword, took small steps forward, and handed the sword to Sima Ping.
“This sword was seized yesterday. It was forged using a mixture of ink powder from the Tianfeng Kingdom. It is so powerful that it can cut hair with a single blow. I’m giving it to you today.” Bai Qingyan said with a smile.
Sima Ping raised his head, took the sword with both hands, and gently pressed his thumb against the hilt. He could already feel the sword’s powerful energy before he drew the sword. It was indeed… an extremely rare sword.
Sima Ping knelt on one knee: “Sima Ping thanks your Majesty!”
“You are injured, right? No need to salute!” Bai Qingyan said to the two of them, “Go back and take good care of your wounds. Soon… our Great Zhou will go to war with the Tianfeng Kingdom, and you will have to kill more enemies by then.”
“yes!”
After Lv Yuanpeng and Sima Ping happily left with their newly acquired weapons, Bai Qingyu, who was standing with her hands behind her back, slowly stepped forward and said, “Sister, since we are going to go to war with Xiliang and Tianfeng Kingdom tomorrow, I think… after deciding on the general strategy, you should return to the capital to take charge.”
“I feel relieved that my mother and General Lu are in the capital.” Bai Qingyan knew that Ayu was worried about her safety, so he said to Bai Qingyu calmly, “I am here to let you know that in this battle… we in the Great Zhou have no way to retreat. Once spring comes, all our advantages will be gone, so we must drive the Tianfeng Kingdom back before the end of winter!”

The Queen Mother of Yan, who had just arrived in Mengcheng, was so panicked when she heard that Murong Li was injured last night while accompanying the army to aid Da Zhou. She almost fell down when getting off the carriage. Fortunately, her personal maid was quick to support the Queen Mother of Yan.
Murong Yan was quite surprised to know that his sister-in-law had arrived in Mengcheng. He didn’t expect that he hadn’t received any news at all before his sister-in-law had already arrived in Mengcheng.
As the powerful regent of Dayan, he should at least be at odds with the emperor and the empress dowager in front of outsiders, so Murong Yan did not go out of the city to greet him. Murong Li got the news while taking medicine, so he put on a cloak and hurried outside. As soon as he stepped out of the main gate, the empress dowager’s carriage had already stopped in front of the six black lacquered and gold-nailed gates.
Murong Li hurried down the steps to greet him. When Queen Mother Yan saw Murong Li, she rushed over, grabbed his shoulders and looked him over…
She touched Murong Li’s face, but she didn’t dare to touch Murong Li’s body casually, for fear of touching Murong Li’s wound. She didn’t know what to do, so she just choked up and asked, “Where are you hurt? Ah? Tell me where you are hurt?!”
“Mother…my son is fine!” Murong Li smiled and held his mother’s hand with his left hand. “The wound is on the arm, it’s just a superficial injury. Doctor Hong has already checked it out. He said that as long as we change the dressing on time and don’t touch water, it will heal in three to five days.”
As he spoke, Murong Li moved his arms: “Look, it’s really okay.”
The Queen Mother of Yan State burst into tears. She raised her hand to touch Murong Li’s head, and tightly grasped Murong Li’s hand. As they walked into the palace, she scolded Murong Li: “How can you be so bold? You are the emperor of Yan State. If anything happens to you, what will happen to Yan State? How will I live?”
“Don’t worry, mother. Yue Shi is here to protect my son. General Xie and Uncle Jiu are also here!” Murong Li excused himself with a smile.
Speaking of this, the Queen Mother of Yan was very annoyed. She was not happy that Murong Yan let Ah Li go to the battlefield with him. However, the palace maids, eunuchs and guards were all there, so the Queen Mother could not say anything…
“Why did mother suddenly come to Mengcheng? My uncle and I haven’t received any news at all.” Murong Li asked his mother with a smile.
Queen Mother Yan curled her lips and said, “New Year’s Eve is coming soon. Mother couldn’t bear to see you spend it alone outside, and she was very worried. So…your uncle knew that Mother was thinking about you, so he managed to get Mother to leave the palace quietly and sent someone to send Mother here.”
The news of Queen Mother Yan’s return to Mengcheng was kept secret. Even now… the ministers in the capital of Yan still believed that the Queen Mother was seriously ill and was resting in bed.
When he heard the word “uncle”, Murong Li frowned.
