The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 1162: Understanding
Following the order from the deputy general, the soldiers who were shivering with cold standing on the city wall suddenly tensed their backs, and they all drew their bows and arrows and aimed at the distance.
In the darkness, a group of people were seen galloping towards them, protecting a simple carriage with a lantern hanging from the eaves.
“Open the city gate!”
The guard who led the way, dressed in tight clothes and riding a black horse, reined in his horse and shouted, “In the carriage is the daughter of the governor of Suining City, General Ye’s niece! Suining City has been breached, and the Great Zhou has captured our Xiliang Empress alive. The governor’s daughter risked her life to escape and report the news! General Ye, please open the city gate!”
Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper who was following the deputy general looked at him hurriedly: “General? Do you want to report to General Ye?”
The deputy general looked at the carriage, gritted his teeth, and said after a while: “Open the city gate! Although the aunt of the Ye family has never returned to Yechengguan since the old general passed away, she is the general’s niece after all! Now that Suining City has been breached, this cousin of the Ye family risked her life to run out and tell us that His Majesty has been captured. This is related to military intelligence and cannot be delayed! So, open a gap… Let the cousin of the Ye family come in, I will take the cousin of the Ye family to see the general, and the rest of you will wait outside. If anyone dares to move, you will be shot to death!”
The old general once asked them and their son to swear to the gods that they would take care of Ye Yinglan. Ye Yinglan had never come to see them over the years. Now that Ye Yinglan’s daughter was downstairs, even though he knew it might be against military orders, he still had to lend a hand, but only to this little girl.
“But General Ye has ordered that the city gates cannot be opened without the token!”
“Send someone to tell the general! Just tell him that it was me who said so… Just open a gap and let the cousin from the Ye family come in!” said the deputy general.
“General!” The gatekeeper knelt on one knee. “I dare not disobey the military order! I will send someone to inform the general immediately. It won’t take long! Please wait for a moment!”
After saying this, the guard turned around and said to his subordinates, “Go quickly! Tell the general the news!”
The deputy general clenched the sword in his hand, slapped the city wall with his hand, and said, “Forget it, I’ll go! You tell Miss Ye to wait a moment, I’ll report it and come right away!”
After the deputy general finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the city wall.
General Ye hated Ye Yinglan and Ye Yinglan’s mother to the core. Wouldn’t it be terrible if he heard that Ye Yinglan’s daughter was not allowed to enter the city!
If he went and told General Ye that he would not allow the cousin of the Ye family to enter the city, he could still persuade him. But if someone else went and told him… the general might not allow it, and the girl would not be able to enter the city, and she would probably become a dead soul at the hands of the Great Zhou.
Soon, the deputy general delivered the news to Ye Shouguan.
Ye Shouguan, with a straight facial features, unshaven beard, and wearing a cloak, sat in front of the brazier with a stern face. When he heard Ye Yinglan’s name, murderous intent was already surging in his eyes. But the disaster would not affect his descendants. Ye Yinglan and her bitch mother were them, and children were children. Ye Shouguan would not be so unwilling to tolerate even a child.
However, this was a special time, and he had never seen Ye Yinglan’s daughter before. What if the Great Zhou sent someone to impersonate her…
Seeing that Ye Shouguan didn’t say anything for a long time, the deputy general came closer and said, “Now the main thing is that your majesty has been captured by the Great Zhou army. I am worried that this cousin can be protected and risk her life to escape, and also bring news about your majesty. I think this way… let those who are escorting the cousin to Ye Shoucheng retreat, and don’t move rashly. Let the cousin enter the city alone! Otherwise, shoot all those people to death!”
Ye Shouguan’s face flickered in the light of the fire. He nodded and said, “Just as you said. Let the girl enter the city first… Bring her to see me!”
“Yes!” The deputy general stood up, saluted with his fists, turned around and walked out quickly.
Sima Ruodan sat in the carriage, holding the hem of her clothes tightly in her palms, pulling at her hair and the clothes that had been torn by her, and adjusting her breathing…
Soon, someone on the city wall shouted loudly: “You guards, retreat ten feet away! Let the cousin get off the carriage alone! Don’t make any unusual movements, otherwise don’t blame the swords and arrows for being blind.”
When Sima Ruodan heard this, she looked up suddenly. This means… she is the only one who can enter the city!
The guards of the Bai family also looked at each other. In order to make the performance more realistic, they all had injuries on their bodies.
“General, we brothers are all injured in order to protect the girl! Can you let us go into the city first to heal our wounds?” The Bai family army shouted loudly upstairs.
The deputy general was not a heartless person, and shouted: “I will bring medicine out for you, but… before confirming the identity of the cousin, you must not enter the city! I hope you can understand this special period!”
Hearing what the deputy general on the city wall said, the Bai family army had no choice but to turn their horses around and whispered to Sima Ruodan in the carriage: “Miss, we are waiting for you outside the city!”
Sima Ruodan was already nervous, and now she was even more panicked. She raised her hand to open the curtain of the carriage and looked towards the brothers of the Bai family army. The brothers of the Bai family army nodded slightly to her to indicate that she should not worry.
Sima Ruodan then nodded.
Seeing that the guards who had escorted the carriage had retreated, the city gate slowly opened a crack, and the deputy general came out of the gate with the guards. The archers on the city wall pointed their arrows at the Bai family guards in the distance, and the archers brought by the deputy general pointed their arrows at the carriage…
The deputy general stopped not far from the carriage, put his thumb on the hilt of the knife, looked at the carriage warily, and said loudly: “Miss cousin, please get off the carriage!”
Sima Ruodan only felt her back tense, and her weak voice was trembling with the feeling of surviving a disaster: “General, my clothes are torn… Can you give me a cloak?”
The deputy general became more alert after hearing this. He took off his cloak and signaled the archers around him to be on guard. He stepped forward and handed the cloak into the carriage with a knife.
I saw a trembling, thin, white hand stretched out from the carriage curtain. There were scratches on it. She took the cloak from the knife, and in just a moment, she wrapped the cloak tightly and walked down from the carriage…
Looking up, I saw a delicate and pretty woman with tear marks on her face and messy hair covered with dead leaves getting off the carriage. She wrapped her cloak tightly with both hands and saluted the deputy general: “Thank you, General!”
“My cousin, what’s going on…” The deputy general thought that Ye Yinglan’s daughter had been raped.
“We escaped in too much of a hurry. It’s all my fault… I’ve been unable to carry anything since I was a child, and I also implicated the guards.” Sima Ruodan lowered his head, imitating Ye Yinglan’s daughter.
“Miss cousin, please go into the city first. The general wants to see you!” said the deputy general.
Sima Ruodan nodded repeatedly: “I want to see my uncle too!”
Soon, the disheveled Sima Ruodan was taken into the city. The deputy general also ordered the soldiers to put the medicine for the Bai family army outside the city gate, and also left some food and clean water for them.
