The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1145: Xiliang
Chapter 1145: Destroy Xiliang
Seeing her elder sister and the tall Bai Qingyu standing at the door of the tent, Bai Jinxiu jumped off the horse without waiting for it to stop. She couldn’t help sobbing. She clearly wanted to call “Ayu”, but she burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth. Her throat was so swollen and painful that she couldn’t utter a word.
She stared at Bai Qingyu closely…her steps became faster and faster, and she ran towards Bai Qingyu and Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan looked at Bai Jinxiu’s tearful face and said to Ayu with a smile, “Go and meet your second sister!”
Bai Qingyu responded and walked towards Bai Jinxiu.
The siblings met and stood facing each other. Bai Jinxiu tightly grasped Bai Qingyu’s arm and looked at Bai Qingyu, who had grown two heads taller than when she went to the battle. She raised her hand and touched the cold half of Bai Qingyu’s mask. Her nose flared and tears fell like beads from a broken string. She whispered, “Does it still hurt?”
Bai Qingyu held Bai Jinxiu’s hand, her eyes red and wet, and shook her head: “It doesn’t hurt anymore, second sister…”
Hearing Bai Qingyu’s voice, Bai Jinxiu felt more and more upset. She didn’t know how much suffering Ayu had endured.
“These years… you must have been walking on thin ice in Rongdi!” Bai Jinxiu looked at her younger brother, who should have been the most distinguished nobleman in the capital city. He was a direct descendant of the family and should have grown up with the attention and love of everyone in the family. However, because of his grandfather’s loyalty to the Bai family without leaving any room for them, he went to the battlefield and ended up like this.
Originally, their Ayu was such a stunning young man that countless ladies in the capital city were fascinated by him.
The men of the Bai family are all heroes, why… do they end up in such a situation?
“Second sister, Ayu is still alive because countless Bai family soldiers risked their lives to give Ayu a chance to survive. Compared to them… no matter how much suffering Ayu endures, it is nothing!”
Bai Jinxiu nodded and squeezed Bai Qingyu’s hand tightly: “It’s good that you’re back! It’s good that you’re back!”
When the eldest sister ascended the throne in the capital, Bai Jinxiu still didn’t know Ayu’s identity. Later, when the eldest sister wanted to take back Rongdi, she sent someone to deliver a letter to her, then she realized that Ayu had returned during the coronation ceremony, just like the eldest sister’s edict announced to the world, witnessing the coronation ceremony. Not only that… Ayu also conquered Rongdi for the Great Zhou, making the Great Zhou’s road to unifying the world smoother.
Bai Jinxiu held Bai Qingyu’s hand tightly and refused to let go until she reached Bai Qingyan. Then she smiled with tears in her eyes and bowed to Bai Qingyan: “Elder sister!”
Ji Langhua, who came from Hancheng with Bai Jinxiu, also got off the carriage. When she saw Bai Qingyan’s tears welling up, she ran towards Bai Qingyan, trotting over and kneeling to Bai Qingyan, “Young lady!”
Seeing Bai Qingyan coming down the steps of the tent holding the hem of her clothes, Shen Qingzhu hurriedly supported Bai Qingyan, fearing that he would slip on the snow on the ground.
She smiled and helped Ji Langhua up. Seeing that Ji Langhua’s veil was stained by the snow, she said, “Get up quickly! Get up quickly! We are family, why do you have to perform such a big ceremony? Let Qingzhu take you to settle down first…”
“Yes, young lady!” Ji Langhua responded with red eyes.
Seeing Shen Qingzhu taking Ji Langhua away, Bai Qingyan grabbed Bai Jinxiu’s hand again and said, “Let’s go into the tent and talk. It’s too cold outside…”
Bai Jinxiu smiled and nodded, then entered the big tent with her eldest sister and fifth brother.
After the three siblings finished talking about the Tianfeng Kingdom, Bai Jinxiu talked to Bai Qingyan about Hancheng: “Now Qin Lang has gotten the hang of it, and with the cooperation of Lu Yuanqing and Chen Zhaolu, the people are very excited about the implementation of the new policy. Those aristocratic families are afraid of the military power in General Zhao’s hands and dare not act rashly. But I told Qin Lang to use more conciliatory policies and use both kindness and force… Those big aristocratic families dare not go too far! When I came here this time, I asked General Zhao Sheng to stay in Pingyang City for the time being and rush to help all parties at any time.”
Bai Qingyan nodded: “Where is Wang Ge’er?”
“I sent Wangger back to the capital city on the way here. Firstly, I was afraid that Qin Lang would be too busy to take care of Wangger, and secondly, my mother missed Wangger too! I thought that my aunt and several other aunts and my mother would not be lonely with Wangger and Xiaoba by their side!” When Bai Jinxiu talked about Wangger, her eyes were full of warm smiles.
But when she thought about not being able to witness Yun Poxing’s death, Bai Jinxiu still felt regretful: “It’s a pity… I couldn’t make it in time to kill Yun Poxing with my elder sister and Ayu!”
“Yun Poxing died under General Cheng’s sword, which can be regarded as revenge for my grandfather… Xiao Shiqi and the others! But this is just the beginning. Back then, Xiliang joined forces with Nanyan to provoke, and colluded with the treacherous officials in the court, causing countless casualties in my Bai family army. This revenge… will not be considered avenged unless Xiliang is destroyed!”
Even though Yun Poxing is dead now, Bai Qingyan still gnashes his teeth in hatred when he mentions the battle in Southern Xinjiang.
She looked at Bai Jinxiu and said, “The Spring Examination will be held at the end of February, so… after I take over Yecheng Pass, I will rush back to the capital. Although I will not be able to fight alongside you afterwards, and my third sister has more important tasks to do, but… the rest of the Bai family members must not be left behind in the battle to destroy Xiliang!”
“My elder sister has killed Yun Poxing. Once Yecheng Pass is broken, the rest… will be left to us!” Bai Jinxiu was full of fighting spirit. “With Yun Poxing, Xiliang may be able to delay our annihilation of Xiliang for a little while. Without Yun Poxing, as long as we break Yecheng Pass and capture Ye Shouguan, Xiliang will not be able to stop our Great Zhou cavalry!”
“Xiliang first had internal strife, and then the Tianfeng Kingdom got involved. They also allowed Li Tianfu to ascend the throne and pulled Li Tianjiao down. Both the people and soldiers of Xiliang were confused and panicked. This is the best time to fight! Li Tianfu is already in the hands of Da Zhou. We will recognize Li Tianfu as the emperor of Xiliang. After taking Yechengguan, Xiliang must be destroyed within three months! We will then make Li Tianfu a king and let him stay in Dadu City forever!”
Bai Jinxiu straightened her back and clasped her fists, saying, “Don’t worry, elder sister. After we take over Yecheng Pass, we will definitely destroy Xiliang within three months!”
That night, Bai Qingyan set out for Yechengguan with light luggage to meet up with Bai Qingqi, Bai Qingyun, Bai Jinzhao, Bai Jinhua and Bai Jinse.
Bai Qingyan kept Shen Liangyu and asked him to lead the Tiger Eagle Army to cooperate with Bai Qingyu. After driving away the Tianfeng Kingdom, he would come with Bai Qingyu to join the main army.
When Bai Jinzhi led the Shuoyang Army away, she left behind fifteen Shuoyang Army teams, intending to use them for the siege.
Bai Qingyu and Bai Jinxiu personally escorted Bai Qingyan. When they saw Bai Qingyan getting on the carriage, Bai Qingyu spoke to Bai Jinxiu, “Second sister, we must move camp tonight and rush to Liuxiang Mountain as soon as possible! Dayan has already taken over Fangzhong City. Once Tianfeng Country, which has decided to withdraw from Xiliang, gets the news, it will definitely speed up its retreat. Just in case, we’d better hurry up!”
