The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1150: Patrol
Chapter 1150 Inspection
Bai Qingqi did not order that no one should be harmed…
The people of Xiliang are tough and brave, and ordinary people can also serve as soldiers. Moreover, capturing a Xiliang city is different from taking their own cities. After all…the people of the Great Zhou are considered foreigners in the eyes of the people of Xiliang.
Therefore, they will certainly resist with all their might, and as long as the people of Xiliang take up arms, it will be the same as rebelling against Da Zhou. If an order is issued not to harm the people of Xiliang, and the people of Xiliang take up butcher knives and attack the soldiers of Da Zhou, wouldn’t that mean that Da Zhou will lose the lives of its soldiers in vain?
But as long as the people of Xiliang give up resistance, they, the Great Zhou, will be willing to accept the people of Xiliang. After all… the Bai family’s ambition for generations has been to unify the world, not to wipe out all the foreign races in the world and leave only the people of the Great Zhou.
Wei Zhaonian, Bai Qingjue, Bai Jinzhao, Bai Jinhua and Bai Jinse led their troops into the city, cleared out the remaining Xiliang defeated soldiers, and ordered the soldiers to clear out the officials’ mansions for Bai Qingyan to live in.
As dawn approached, the carriage carrying Bai Qingyan and Bai Qingyun slowly entered the city. Soldiers stood on both sides of the city gate, welcoming the Emperor of the Great Zhou into the city.
Lu Ninghua brought Lu Lechen to Bai Qingyan’s carriage, but saw that her silly apprentice kept staring at the eldest girl. He also enthusiastically snatched the job of Chunzhi, the personal maid, and served tea to the eldest girl, making Chunzhi laugh and cry. He looked exactly like when he claimed that he liked the third son of the Bai family and wanted to marry him. He also kept asking the eldest girl how the battle at Qingxi Mountain Pass was fought. It was really unbearable to watch.
Bai Qingyan was gentle to Lu Liaochen and did not blame him, but Lu Ninghua was very uneasy. The eldest girl had not had a good rest since she came, and this girl was so noisy.
“That piece of music is so soul-stirring. When my master and I passed by the border town, almost all the people there could sing it… A distinguished guest was meeting on the boat on Ying Lake, but only the pipa could be heard, but no one was there. The music of stringed instruments and fine wine was intertwined, when suddenly the music of thunder and lightning suddenly changed. The clanging of the heavy strings destroyed the Five Mountains, while the surging of the light strings cut off the river. Thunderbolts gathered at the fingertips, and the sound of golden spears could be heard in the ears. At the end of the song, the blood rushed to the sky, and the general had already conquered Qingxi Mountain!”
After singing, Lu Liaochen clenched her fists and said, “Your Majesty, I also want to be a general like you! Fight on the battlefield! Be a female general! Your Majesty, do you think I still have hope of learning martial arts now?”
Bai Qingyan gathered the blanket on Bai Qingyun’s legs, and smiled softly. But her words shocked Lu Lechen: “So, you lied to Aunt Lu that she had lost her memory just to stay in the army and become a female general?”
Bai Qingyun lowered his eyes and changed a cup of hot tea for his eldest sister. He seemed to be aware of the matter and did not find it strange.
Lu Lechen was startled, his big eyes flickering a little, but Lu Ninghua frowned and became alert. If this girl was pretending to have amnesia and stayed in the army, then she should not bring any trouble to the Bai family army because of her momentary kindness.
Seeing Lu Ninghua’s appearance, Bai Qingyan waved at Lu Ninghua, indicating that Lu Ninghua didn’t need to be anxious.
Bai Qingyan picked up the teacup that Bai Qingyun had placed in front of her, used the cup lid to hold down the floating tea in the cup and took a sip: “Don’t worry, I don’t mean to force you. You must have your own difficulties in doing this, you can think about it slowly… You can talk about it later if you want.”
It is true that people say that one who talks too much will make mistakes. Lu Lechen never stopped talking along the way. Bai Qingyan subtly mentioned to Lu Ninghua the playboys Lu Yuanpeng and Sima Ping in the capital city, saying that he did not expect that the playboys who were once avoided by everyone have now grown up and become generals who can shoulder important responsibilities. Lu Lechen, who had so much to say, was silent for a while. He did not ask about the identities of Lu Yuanpeng and Sima Ping, nor did he continue to discuss this topic with Bai Qingyan. It was very abnormal.
However, Bai Qingyan could not be sure that Lu Lechen was lying. He was just deceiving her out of suspicion, just like she had deceived the disciple of the great wizard of Tianfeng Kingdom. Unexpectedly, he really pretended to have amnesia.
The reason why she didn’t force Lu Lechen to speak out immediately or leave was because she loved this little girl. It is said that people’s hearts are hidden… but these eyes can reveal many things. Bai Qingyan saw the light in this little girl’s eyes that she had seen in her own sister’s eyes, so she was willing to believe that this little girl had good intentions.
Even if she pretended to have amnesia and infiltrated the Bai family army for other purposes, a cautious person like A Qi has been sending people to keep an eye on this girl but has not found any flaws. She… just need to find someone to keep a close eye on her, and there won’t be any big trouble.
As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the local official’s residence, Wei Zhaonian, Bai Qingqi and Bai Jinse were already greeting them at the door. Bai Qingqi took Bai Jinzhao and Bai Jinhua to settle the wounded soldiers and inspect various places.
“Elder sister!” Bai Jinse stepped forward and stretched out her hand to support Bai Qingyan.
Shen Qingzhu smiled and said, “Seventh Miss, let me do it!”
Bai Qingyan held Shen Qingzhu’s hand and stepped down from the carriage. Seeing that Bai Jinse’s complexion had recovered, he raised his hand and touched Bai Jinse’s head: “This time you followed your third brother to the real battlefield as you wished. Are you still a little uncomfortable?”
“Yeah!” Bai Jinse nodded. She was too embarrassed to tell her elder sister that when she actually saw the dead bodies and broken limbs, she vomited all over the place. Now when she thought of the sound of the arrow whizzing past her ears, she felt a lingering fear and couldn’t help shivering down her spine.
If the third brother hadn’t pulled her back, her eyes would have been shot blind.
Bai Jinse originally thought that it would be a very glorious thing to fight on the battlefield like her eldest sister, second sister, third sister and fourth sister, but there was danger hidden behind this glory. She was still not well-trained and had to work harder so as not to drag others down on the battlefield.
A guard of the Bai family rode into the city quickly, jumped off his horse, whispered something in Shen Qingzhu’s ear, and then retreated. Shen Qingzhu hurriedly stepped forward and said to Bai Qingyan: “Miss, Akshay’s elephant army knows that the Bai family army is attacking Suining City and has already started!”
Bai Qingqi helped Bai Qingyun down, and she and Wei Zhong helped Bai Qingyun sit down in the wheelchair.
A smile appeared on Bai Qingyan’s face, for he was afraid that Akshay would not move. If Akshay moved Ayu and Jinxiu, they would be able to finish the battle of Liuxiang Mountain as soon as possible.
She turned to look at Bai Qingqi and Bai Qingyun and said, “Let the soldiers get organized and rest for a day. Tomorrow morning, we will leave the wounded behind and head to Yecheng Pass to join Ayu and Jinxiu! Yecheng Pass will be the toughest bone to chew in the entire Xiliang. As long as Yecheng Pass is taken, Xiliang will be in our pocket. Let Ajue and Xiaowu and Xiaoliu come back, and we will discuss how to break through Yecheng Pass.”
“Yes!” Bai Qingqi clasped his fists towards Bai Qingyan.
Lu Ninghua pulled Lu Lechen aside, intending to ask the girl about her background and why she had gone to so much trouble to sneak into the Bai family’s army and then loudly announced that she liked the third son of the Bai family. What did she want to do?
Good night, my little ancestors! Please, please …
