The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1132: in a hurry
Chapter 1132: Urgent
His eyebrows did not move, but his heart was filled with an indescribable warmth. He looked up at Bai Qingyan and nodded: “Emperor Zhou is right!”
After sending Murong Yan and the generals of Yan State out of the mansion, Bai Qingyu stuffed a hand warmer into Bai Qingyan’s hand, and Shen Qingzhu handed her a handcuff made of fine white mink wool: “Although Pingdu City is not far from Pingyang City, it is much colder. It’s better for you to bring a handcuff.”
She smiled and hid the hand warmer and her hands in the hand cage as she was told, then walked back.
In the luxurious mansion born of natural wealth, the red tiles and flying eaves were covered with snow, quilted bamboo curtains were hung on both sides of the corridor, and the hexagonal sheepskin lamps that had not yet been lit swayed in the wind.
Bai Qingyu, wearing a frosty-colored shirt with cloud-patterned edges, followed Bai Qingyan, accompanying her as she walked slowly along the Nine-Curve Corridor.
He asked Bai Qingyan: “Sister, why did you give most of the giant elephants to Yan? According to the situation of this battle…Even if you are taking care of Yan, an equal share is already very good. If most of them were given to Yan, our soldiers in the Great Zhou would be dissatisfied, otherwise there would be no trouble outside the city!”
“I know that…” Bai Qingyan nodded with a smile.
“Fifth brother! Although we gave most of the giant elephants to the State of Yan, my eldest sister said that this will enable better cooperation between our two countries!” Bai Jinzhi vividly told Bai Qingyu the follow-up of the trouble caused by An Qingshan and Wang Dagou outside the city today.
Bai Qingyu thought about it for a moment, and suddenly his mind became clear. He looked at Bai Qingyan and said, “Sister, are you trying to… win over the Yan army?”
“Yes, it is to buy the hearts of the Yan army!” Bai Qingyan nodded, “People are greedy. Even if the distribution is fair, they will feel that they have suffered a loss. They think that if it is fair, the other party must be at a disadvantage! Since we are aiming for long-term cooperation, we can’t be petty. If we are more generous, the two countries can cooperate better in the future, fight the next battle well, and drive the Tianfeng Kingdom back to the other side of Tianshan Mountain! More importantly… the two countries will merge into one country in the future, but the most difficult ones to merge are not the court officials and the nobles. The court officials and the nobles will all be moved…”
Seeing the steps ahead, Bai Qingyu held up the hem of her clothes with one hand and reached out to hold her elder sister’s arm.
Snowflakes began to fall from the gloomy sky again, landing on the dwarf pine bonsai placed on the stone platform on one side of the corridor.
Outside the corridor, small flakes of snow fell like pear blossoms. From afar, Bai Qingyan, Bai Qingyu and Bai Jinzhi were walking in the front, while Shen Qingzhu and Wei Zhong, along with a group of eunuchs, were following slowly at a distance of ten steps behind them, looking quite leisurely.
After walking up the stairs, Bai Qingyan continued to talk to Bai Qingyu: “But you are also a soldier, you must understand what a soldier is like… rather break than bend. The real headache of the merger of the two countries is often the army. If the soldiers are dissatisfied, and then… people with status and family affairs take the opportunity to cause trouble, then a lot of trouble will be caused for nothing! But if the soldiers of Yan State remember the benevolence and righteousness of the Great Zhou, perhaps they can avoid fighting again and causing the people to suffer.”
Bai Qingyu nodded, finally understanding Bai Qingyan’s intention: “I understand what Sister means.”
Bai Jinzhi also suddenly realized: “So there is a deeper meaning behind my eldest sister!”
“Xiao Si, this matter hasn’t been finalized yet and must not be spread out.” Bai Qingyu warned Bai Jinzhi.
Bai Jinzhi nodded and assured: “Don’t worry, Fifth Brother, I know the seriousness of the matter.”
Bai Qingyu believed that if the Great Zhou led by her elder sister competed with the State of Yan in terms of national politics, it would surely win. In Bai Qingyu’s mind, the Yan army would definitely be incorporated into the Great Zhou in the future. If so… it was reasonable for them to treat it better.
“Also, I think the An Qingshan outside the city today is quite good. He is acquainted with the young general named Wang Dagou from Yan State. You should recruit An Qingshan under your command. In the future, you can let An Qingshan handle any dealings with the Yan army.” Bai Qingyan reminded.
“Okay, Ayu will take care of this matter, so you don’t have to worry!” After listening to Bai Qingyan, Bai Qingyu said, “Sister, wait until New Year’s Eve is over and go back to the capital! The Spring Examination will be held in late February or early March, and you need to preside over it. And if you calculate the date… you will be due in April or May! Mother and aunts won’t be at ease if you stay on the battlefield, and I’m afraid the court officials won’t be at ease either!”
“Yes, elder sister, my fifth brother and I are here, and my second sister is on the way…” Bai Jinzhi had just finished speaking when she suddenly remembered that Bai Qingyan had ordered her to send Ren Shijie back to Yan State, but she had done nothing about it. When her second sister was mentioned, she remembered it and her face froze. She paused and looked at Bai Qingyan with a guilty look on her face, “Eldest sister, you asked me to send Ren Shijie back to Yan State, but I forgot…”
Bai Qingyan: “…”
Seeing her elder sister’s hesitant expression, Bai Jinzhi frowned and said, “You can’t blame me for this! This living person has not been sent back to Yan State yet, and Yan State itself has not mentioned it. Yan State itself doesn’t care about its own people, and I’m so busy every day, and I’m also careless…”
Bai Jinzhi’s confident voice became smaller and smaller under the gaze of her eldest sister, and finally died down, looking at her eldest sister timidly.
“Let’s take advantage of the fact that the people from Yan State are not far away yet and capture them and send them over there! Let Ren Shijie return to his hometown to have a good New Year.” Bai Qingyan said.
Bai Jinzhi quickly accepted the order, clasped his fists and went to pick up the person.
“Hurry up and catch up, and come back quickly. Let’s eat dumplings together tonight on New Year’s Eve!” Bai Qingyu said to Bai Jinzhi’s back.
“I know!”
Shen Qingzhu glanced at Bai Jinzhi and felt uneasy. She stepped forward and bowed to Bai Qingyan, then said, “Big Miss, I will go with the Fourth Miss!”
“Okay, I feel more at ease with you here!” Bai Qingyan nodded.
After watching Bai Jinzhi leave in a hurry, she heard Bai Qingyu say that the Huotou Army tried to make dumplings with elephant meat, and they tasted good. She thought about it and realized that they all spent New Year’s Eve outside. Tonight, she wanted to eat dumplings with the soldiers, just like her grandfather and father, and spend the New Year together.
Bai Qingyu smiled and nodded: “Listen to my sister!”

As soon as Lv Yuanpeng and his party entered the city, they saw Bai Jinzhi galloping out of the city on his horse. They shouted loudly, “Make way!” The soldiers who were entering the city quickly made way for the gate…
When Lu Yuanpeng saw that it was Bai Jinzhi, he put down the handkerchief that was wrapped around his eyes and shouted, “Bai Jinzhi, what are you doing in such a hurry?”
The soldiers following Lu Yuanpeng all took a deep breath. They didn’t understand why their general was so aggressive and actually called Gao Yijun by her name. Gao Yijun was the emperor’s sister!
Hearing the voice, Bai Jinzhi reined in his horse and turned back. Seeing Lv Yuanpeng with eyes swollen like walnuts, he said with a smile: “Let’s go and send someone to Yan State! Are you okay? If you are, let’s go together…”
The third update, continue to ask for monthly tickets…
