The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1101: back in time
Chapter 1101 Time Travel
Sar Khan picked up the copper-wrapped charcoal clamp and poked the brazier: “As long as we can catch Li Zhijie, we can follow the clues to find Li Tianjiao and Yun Poxing… and the Huoyun Army.”
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. We have already sent soldiers out to look for him. As long as Li Zhijie is not hidden by the people of Da Zhou and Yan, we will definitely find him!” said the disciple of the great witch.
What the Great Witch’s disciples least wanted to see was Li Zhijie being hidden by the people of Da Zhou and Yan State, because… Li Zhijie and Li Tianjiao already knew the legend of the Jade Cicada of Tian Feng State. If they told the Emperor of Da Zhou, he would also start searching for the Jade Cicada, which would be extremely disadvantageous for Tian Feng State.
It is certainly not as convenient for Tianfeng Kingdom to search for a jade cicada in Da Zhou as it is for the Emperor of Da Zhou.
Even if the jade cicada was in the tomb of the Emperor of Great Zhou, the Emperor of Great Zhou could easily get it.
The Great Witch’s disciples only hope that the people sent to the Great Zhou to search for the tomb of the Great Zhou Emperor can find out as soon as possible whether the Jade Cicada is there. If not… they can also find the lost Jade Cicada as soon as possible.
The thing that Sar Khan, the king of Tianfeng Kingdom, and the disciples of the great witch, were most worried about has already happened. At this time… Li Zhijie, who had one leg broken by a giant elephant in Pingyang City and barely managed to survive, was ready to tell Bai Qingyan the story of Yuchan under Bai Qingyan’s questioning…
Bai Qingyan was sitting on a couch by the window. The glass lamp on the small black lacquered square table reflected half of Bai Qingyan’s indifferent face. She lowered her eyes and used the lid of the sweet porcelain teacup with plum blossom pattern to press down the tea leaves floating in the clear tea soup.
During the battle yesterday, Bai Qingyan was puzzled… Just a Li Zhijie!
If Li Tianfu made such a big fuss to demand someone, he did it on purpose. He wanted to provoke a war between Da Zhou and Tian Feng Kingdom and use Tian Feng Kingdom to avenge Lu Tianzhuo.
What about Tianfeng Kingdom?
The original intention of the Tianfeng Kingdom was to occupy the land first and then nibble away at it. It should have built good relations with the Great Zhou and the Great Yan while… letting the Great Zhou and the Great Yan see the strength of the Tianfeng Kingdom. However… it definitely could not have wanted to build good relations while sending troops to attack the cities of the Great Zhou.
Furthermore, Bai Qingyan did not believe that when the four countries formed an alliance, the king of Tianfeng Kingdom, Sar Khan, was so stupid that he did not realize that Li Tianfu wanted to provoke a fight between Tianfeng Kingdom and Da Zhou in order to avenge her.
Under such circumstances, Sar Khan still sent people with the elephant army and Li Tianfu to ask for Li Zhijie back. That was because… Tianfeng Kingdom did not want to see Li Zhijie stay in Da Zhou, so they had to help Li Tianfu get Li Zhijie back.
The envoy sent by the Tianfeng Kingdom to apologize was waiting outside the yard at this moment. Li Zhijie raised his eyes through the window lattice and could vaguely see the envoy of the Tianfeng Kingdom standing in the yard, wearing the Tianfeng Kingdom’s clothes, waiting quietly.
Li Zhijie looked at Bai Qingyan again…
“Yan Wang brought this disaster to my Great Zhou. My soldiers did not leave Yan Wang to die in the snow. This was already very generous of us! If Yan Wang still doesn’t know what’s good for him and doesn’t explain himself clearly… I can only hand you over to the envoys of Tianfeng Kingdom!” Bai Qingyan still lowered his eyes without looking at Li Zhijie. He slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip. “This unprovoked disaster was brought by Yan Wang, and the gate of Pingyang City was also damaged by the giant elephant. If a few more elephants come, the Great Zhou will not be able to bear it!”
“Your Majesty, are you going to surrender to the Tianfeng Kingdom?” Li Zhijie was unwilling and asked sarcastically.
Li Zhijie, with a pale face, sat leaning on the soft bed in the simple wing. His forehead and back were covered with sweat, his face was bruised and purple, and the wound on his neck was wrapped in fine cotton cloth. His right leg was gone under the cloud-patterned brocade cup, and the pain was unbearable.
“Prince Yan’s skill in provoking others is really not as good as Li Tianfu’s! Great Zhou has never been afraid of fighting with other countries, but I feel that…” She put the teacup on the black lacquered small table, raised her cold and indifferent eyes and looked at Li Zhijie, “It’s not worth it for a prince of an enemy country!”
Li Zhijie clenched his hands tightly under the quilt. Bai Qingyan was right…
After he woke up, he heard that the reason why Da Zhou and Tianfeng Kingdom fought was because Li Tianfu wanted to kill their Bai family guards, so Bai Qingyan took action.
The Bai family has always protected their people, but they would not protect a prince of an enemy country.
“If the foreign minister says something useful to Your Majesty, Your Majesty… is willing to withstand the pressure from the Tianfeng Kingdom and protect the foreign minister?” Li Zhijie asked.
“That depends on what you said and whether you told the truth.” Bai Qingyan turned around and glanced out the window. “The envoy from the Tianfeng Kingdom is still staring at me. King Yan should make a decision quickly and stop bargaining with me.”
Li Zhijie followed Bai Qingyan’s gaze and looked outside. He closed his eyes and finally told Bai Qingyan slowly and leisurely about the rumors he had heard about Yuchan.
Bai Qingyan half-closed his eyes and glanced at the sachet containing the jade cicada hanging on his waist.
Back in time…
Her heart suddenly beat faster.
In her previous life, A Yan gave her this jade pendant, which symbolized the identity of the Regent of Dayan, and asked her to escape. However, she was captured by King Liang on her way to find Xiao Qi. King Liang threatened her with Xiao Qi’s life, so she had no choice but to surrender.
When she died, the jade cicada was still on her body…
Later, she was reborn, back to the day before Jinxiu got married.
She adjusted her sleeves casually, put her elbows on the black lacquered table, turned her head and looked at Li Zhijie: “Where did you hear these legends?”
“Your Majesty, do you think that Tianfeng Kingdom took such a big risk to replace our Xiliang Empress and find a lunatic who only wanted to avenge a dead eunuch, just because our Xiliang Empress was difficult to control?” Li Zhijie gritted his teeth when he said this, “It’s because our Empress knew this secret, and the King of Tianfeng Kingdom was afraid that our Empress wanted to take advantage of Yuchan, so he wanted to kill our Empress.”
Seeing that Bai Qingyan seemed to have no expression, Li Zhijie said, “It seems that Your Majesty does not believe in the legend of the jade cicada.”
“This myth is full of loopholes. If the jade cicada really had the ability to go back in time, and Tianfeng Country was in summer all year round, then… if time goes back four times a year, how could the people of Tianfeng Country survive to this day? The people of Tianfeng Country should have been living hundreds of years… or even thousands of years ago, in a daze, going back in time and without knowing it.”
Bai Qingyan tapped the small black table with her finger and said with a smile, “And the Queen of Tianfeng Kingdom you mentioned, she said…she used the Jade Cicada’s ability to go back in time to learn about the arrangements of the Fierce Eagle Kingdom, and led Tianfeng Kingdom to a great victory. For this, she lost her children…relatives, and even her husband in the end. But the subjects of Tianfeng Kingdom have lost all their memories because of the time travel, is that right?”
