The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1161: take a break
Chapter 1161 Take a Break
“The wife of the governor, Ye Yinglan, was originally worried that Ye Shouguan would refuse to let her in. She also thought that the Xiliang Emperor was in the hands of the Great Zhou and that the situation in Xiliang was hopeless. So she simply took a gamble and returned to Suining City… She wanted to use her identity as Ye Shouguan’s sister to persuade Ye Shouguan to surrender or steal the token to open the city gate as a condition for her daughter to marry into the Great Zhou royal family.”
Bai Qingyan stroked his abdomen and paced slowly: “But the Great Zhou royal family is not stupid enough to let Ye Yinglan deceive them. They will not release the eagle until they see the rabbit. Ye Yinglan was also arrested because of greed… just like Li Tianfu, so Ye Yinglan asked her to bring the token to ask this long-serving servant. Only if the long-serving servant gets the token can the lives of Li Tianfu and the governor and his wife be temporarily saved. If he can’t get the token and can’t open the city gate, then… our Great Zhou will use the Xiliang Emperor Li Tianfu, the governor and the governor’s wife as shields when we attack the city!”
Bai Qingyan knew clearly that stealing the token was not that easy. The token controlled the opening and closing of the city gates, which was related to the survival of the city. How could Ye Shouguan let someone steal it so easily?
“Ye Yinglan’s daughter knows that her mother has fallen in front of the Great Zhou this time. She is also afraid that Ye Shouguan will take the opportunity to get rid of her mother because of the years of grudges he has with the governor’s wife Ye Yinglan, and then kill Li Tianfu and claim the throne himself, so she asks the long-servant for help!”
“As long as General Ye Shoucheng’s attendant, as a Xiliang native, is not worried about hurting their Xiliang emperor, and as a long-time admirer of the governor’s wife, is not afraid of hurting the person dear to his heart, then he can ignore the lives of Li Tianfu and Ye Yinglan!”
Bai Qing spoke slowly and calmly, and quickly sorted out the whole story… and concluded what had happened.
The whole thing is a mixture of truth and falsehood. As long as one or two things match up, it will greatly increase the credibility of the whole thing.
For example, the governor of Suining City and his wife Ye Yinglan turned back on the way to Yecheng Pass. There must be people from Xiliang who had fled into Yecheng Pass who saw them and knew about it. Then… Ye Shouguan could find out from these people that what they said was true, and the credibility of other things would be greatly improved.
Hearing Bai Qingyan’s words, Bai Qingjue said, “Eldest sister’s intention is to alleviate the guilt of this attendant, and make him feel that he stole the token not only to save his sweetheart, but also to save the emperor of Xiliang, and he is being loyal…”
“Also, Ye Shouguan might be suspicious of Li Tianfu’s possession in our Great Zhou, and wonder how Ye Yinglan’s daughter managed to get through the heavy guards and reach Ye Shoucheng!” Bai Qingyan smiled faintly, “If something goes wrong, as long as the attendant is caught while stealing the token or afterwards, he might reveal that Li Tianfu is in the Great Zhou military camp, and that if they fail to steal the token and open the city gate, we will kill Li Tianfu and the Suining governor and his wife…”
“Eldest sister wants to use this method to make Ye Shouguan believe that Li Tianfu is in our hands?” Bai Jinzhao frowned, “But… will this work?”
Bai Qingyan smiled and shook his head.
“The whole thing is not to convince Ye Shouguan, but to make the soldiers of Ye Chengguan…believe without a doubt that Li Tianfu is in our hands! So it’s better to make a big fuss, the bigger the better…let more soldiers of Ye Chengguan believe that Li Tianfu is in our hands, so…when we bring out the fake Li Tianfu, if Ye Shouguan says that Li Tianfu is fake, he will be doubted by his own soldiers.” Bai Qingyan smiled slightly and looked at Bai Jinse who came up with this idea. “At the same time, we will do as Xiaoqi said and let the soldiers ambush in advance, and use ‘Li Tianfu’ to lure Ye Shouguan to lead his troops out of the city to fight!”
Bai Qingqi nodded: “Send the insiders into the city, meet the enemy head-on, and have the Tiger Eagle Camp soldiers enter Yecheng Pass! With these three methods working together… we will definitely succeed!”
“Eldest sister’s method is good! I said that with elder sister here, we will definitely win the battle!” After hearing Bai Qingyan say this, Bai Jinhua felt as if he had already won.
“The idea was proposed by Xiao Qi. I just followed Xiao Qi and A Jue’s idea and thought about it in more detail.” Bai Qingyan raised his hand and touched Bai Jinse’s head. “This time… Xiao Qi will be with me in the frontal battle!”
“Yes!” Bai Jinse responded with a fist clasped.
“Then let Miss Sima set off for Yecheng Pass tonight, and our army will set out early tomorrow morning! Even if we don’t attack the city… we can scare those Xiliang soldiers!” Bai Jinzhao said, clenching his fists.
That night, Sima Ruodan, who had been observing Ye Yinglan’s family for a long time, set out overnight and got on a carriage to Yechengguan. She was worried that if she didn’t perform well, it would ruin the plans of His Majesty and the Bai family army. However, His Majesty not only sent people to protect her, but also told her that it didn’t matter if things didn’t go well, and that her own safety was the most important thing, and let her act according to the circumstances.
His Majesty also said that before the Great Zhou army sets out for Yechengguan at noon tomorrow, if she really cannot avoid Ye Shouguan’s men, then there is no need to avoid them. She can deliberately shake off Ye Shouguan’s men and go find the long-time attendant to follow their plan. Even if Ye Shouguan finds out, he will not make things difficult for a girl. He may put her in jail, or put her under house arrest because of their uncle-nephew relationship. It doesn’t matter. The Great Zhou army will come to rescue her as soon as they enter the city.
Sima Ruodan believed Bai Qingyan without a doubt. His Majesty was a great hero who destroyed Shu and pacified southern and northern borders. He was invincible in battle. When it came to fighting…how many people in this world could be the opponent of their Great Zhou Emperor!
This was the first time His Majesty had given her a task, and she had to complete it beautifully.
Sima Ruodan, sitting in the bumpy carriage, tightly grasped the jade pendant in her hand, closed her eyes and thought about the words, actions and gestures of the prefect’s daughter. It was the first time she impersonated someone else, and she had no time to practice. She could only simulate the emphasis and movements of the prefect’s daughter’s speech over and over in her mind.
Before she left, the seventh girl Bai Jinse escaped with her. She was protected by a loyal servant in her family and robbed someone else’s carriage on the way. Naturally, she had to look a little dishevelled to make it seem more realistic, so there were traces of her clothes being torn and dead leaves on her hair.
Yechengguan.
It was already midnight, and Ye Shouguan’s deputy general was still patrolling on the city wall.
“General, you should go and take a rest! The Great Zhou just conquered Suining City, so they may not come to our Yecheng Pass right away. Besides, Yecheng Pass is the most difficult pass in the world to attack, and it is not something that the Great Zhou can take just because they want to!” The gatekeeper followed the deputy general and whispered, “The wind is so strong, you should go back and take a rest!”
The deputy general who was patrolling the city suddenly stopped, tightly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and shouted loudly: “Archers, get ready!”
