The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1149: Bing is expensive and fast
Chapter 1149: Speed is of the essence
Lu Ninghua held her forehead with her hand, it seemed that her warnings were in vain. Fortunately, the eldest girl didn’t seem to mind.
“Sister Liaochen, I see that you care more about my eldest sister… than you do about my third brother!” Bai Jinzhao said while deliberately looking at Bai Qingqi.
Bai Qingqi looked at Bai Jinzhao with a cold gaze, and Bai Jinzhao quickly shrank his neck.
“That’s for sure!” Lu Liaochen looked at Bai Qingyan with sparkling eyes. Ever since Bai Qingyan appeared, his eyes seemed to be glued to Bai Qingyan. “I originally thought that General Bai Qingqi was the most handsome man in the world, but Your Majesty… is much more handsome than General Bai Qingqi!”
Bai Jinse: “…”
So you keep saying you like the third brother because he’s good-looking?
Bai Jinhua was speechless for a moment. With Lu Lechen like this… it would be strange if he could take down the third brother!
Bai Qingjue couldn’t help but cover his mouth and laugh.
“That’s it…” Bai Qingyun turned to look at his expressionless third brother, “Among us brothers, the fifth brother is the most handsome. He is the dream lover of many ladies in the capital. If he goes out on the street, he will be thrown a lot of wallets! If Miss Liaochen sees the fifth brother and the third brother…what should we do?”
Bai Qingqi looked indifferent and said to Bai Qingyan, “Eldest sister, please go into the tent first!”
Lu Ninghua was also troubled by this disciple she had accepted. She pulled Lu Lechen behind her and said after bowing, “The eldest lady and the other gentlemen and ladies must have something to say. Lechen and I will withdraw first!”
Bai Qingyan smiled and nodded, her eyes fell on Chen again. Seeing Chen staring at her with those sparkling eyes and being dragged away reluctantly, she couldn’t help laughing: “You have a very lively personality!”
“She’s a perfect match for Third Brother!” Bai Qingyun added.
Several people entered the big tent with smiles on their faces.
Lu Ninghua had several stoves burning in the tent, making it as warm as spring.
Bai Qingyan took off his cloak and walked towards the huge map hanging in the general’s tent: “Are you sure we can attack the city tonight?”
She handed the heater to Chunzhi, who took the cloak from her, and motioned Chunzhi to go out first.
After paying her respects, Chunzhi walked out of the tent and took her people to Bai Qingyan’s tent to settle down.
“Tonight?” Wei Zhaonian glanced at Bai Qingqi and said, “Are we being too hasty? Little Bai Shuai just arrived, why not take a day off!”
“Speed is of the essence in war! Moreover… the fifteen Shuoyang Army squads I brought this time are very good at attacking cities. After taking Suining, they will go straight to Yechengguan, take Deyang, and then take Le’an, Luquan… and Jingrong, then we can put Yunjing under our feet!” Bai Qingyan drew a line on the map.
She turned her head and looked at Wei Zhaonian and her brothers and sisters: “On the way here, I have received news that Akshay said that the elephant army he led has set up camp 20 miles away from Liuxiang Mountain and will not move. I guess he is worried that the battle of Hanwen Mountain will happen again. We are attracting Akshay’s attention now. If we delay any longer and he reacts, I am afraid he would rather spend a lot of effort to take a detour than go to Liuxiang Mountain again!”
“The sooner the news of the fight here reaches the ears of the people of Tianfeng, the more they will think that the Great Zhou is now competing with the Yan Kingdom for territory! These cities… are related to the trade routes of Xiliang. The faster we act, the faster the Tianfeng Kingdom will return to Tianfeng!”
Bai Qingqi nodded: “Xiao Si and General Shen have received good news, and the soldiers can no longer hold back. It would be good to have a fight! It can boost morale!”
“After nightfall tonight, the Shuoyang Army squad will take the lead, followed closely by the main army… and kill Suining by surprise!” Bai Qingyan made the final decision.

Suining City.
After nightfall, sporadic snowflakes began to fall from the sky. The snow was not heavy, but the wind was howling, giving a feeling of being in a panic.
The dogs in the city barked incessantly for some reason, causing people’s head to hurt. The owners could be heard scolding their own guard dogs, but for some reason the dogs kept barking.
On a freezing night, the patrolling soldiers in Suining City who had just been relieved shivered and blew hot air into their hands, then lifted the patched grey cotton cloth curtain of the barracks and went inside.
“Wow…it’s still warm in the barracks!”
The patrol leader took off his helmet and armor, and urged the soldiers to come over and sit around the red-hot stove to warm themselves up. He also picked up the copper pendant and poured a few bowls of hot tea for the brothers: “Come and warm yourselves!”
“What’s wrong with these dogs today? They have been howling for almost half an hour. Hope nothing will happen?” The young general guarding the city took a sip of the hot water.
“These beasts are just like this. As long as one of them shouts, everyone in every household will follow suit, just like making a fuss!” The team leader rubbed his hands and warmed them by the stove. “Hurry up and drink some hot tea and go to sleep! The Great Zhou army is camped not far away, and we don’t know when the battle will start! We must stay alert!”
As soon as the team leader finished speaking, the barking of dogs became louder and louder.
“Are these beasts crazy?” The city guard who was shelling peanuts frowned and cursed, “We’ll slaughter all these beasts tomorrow!”
A soldier with excellent hearing suddenly made a “hush” gesture, and the peanut shells on the black square table with peeling paint suddenly jumped up, and the sound like rolling thunder seemed to rush towards the direction of Suining City!
“Someone is attacking the city! Someone is attacking the city!”
The horn sounded suddenly.
The soldiers defending the city on the city wall were beating the gongs at the top of their lungs. The soldiers who had just taken off their armor quickly put on their armor and helmets, picked up their weapons, rushed out of the barracks and rushed to the top of the city wall.
The soldiers defending the city who were already asleep hurriedly put on their armor, got off the bed, rushed to the city wall, and waited for battle. They shot arrows and threw stones at the Great Zhou army who were about to climb up the city wall, but it was all useless!
They discovered it too late. Their spies were ambushed and shot on the way, and the sentries were also quietly eliminated.
The barking of dogs in the city could not alert them. When they felt the rumbling of landmines rushing towards the city gate, the soldiers of Shuoyang Army were about to climb up the city wall, and the army of Da Zhou was almost at the foot of the city. They came in the strong wind without any hesitation, and attacked the city in a focused and silent manner.
The moment the heavy and weathered city gate was pushed open again and the black sail and white python flag were planted on the city wall, the city of Suining was doomed and could no longer be defended.
The general defending the city fled under the protection of his soldiers. The people were in a panic and did not even have time to pack their belongings. They rushed to the south gate and tried to escape before the Great Zhou army rushed in.
A large group of troops from the Great Zhou rushed in, and the Xiliang soldiers who were still resisting on the city wall let out miserable screams.
Bai Qingqi was the first to rush into the city. Seeing the panicked civilians running away with their money in their arms, he reined in his horse and shouted, “Suining City has been captured. Surrender your weapons and we will spare your lives!”
