The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1253: Elephant of a great country
Chapter 1253 The Image of a Great Power
When Li Tianfu said she wanted to learn how to dance, her father and mother invited the best dancer from Xiliang to teach her, just to make her happy!
Li Tianfu said she wanted to learn martial arts, so her father and mother asked the most powerful warrior in Xiliang to teach her!
But what about her? Because she was the eldest daughter, when she said she wanted to learn dancing, her father said that she might have to shoulder the burden of Xiliang one day and should not learn things according to her own preferences.
She also wanted to learn martial arts like Li Tianfu, but her father said… she had someone to protect her, so it was enough for her to learn martial arts. She didn’t need to work hard on martial arts. She should use this time to read more history books.
She loves her sister and envies her, so she tries her best to love her sister, protect her sister’s carefree life, and let her be the happiest princess in Xiliang forever. It seems that seeing her happy, she can also experience that happiness.
Li Tianjiao thought of this and shook his head, forcing himself not to think about it and dispel the haze in his heart. Just like… when his sister killed even the queen mother for the throne, that sister died with the queen mother.
From the very beginning, it was wrong for the Queen Mother to let Li Tianfu go to marry.
If her sister had not been sent to marry, but had stayed by his side and found a prince consort for her, she would have been able to do whatever she wanted with Lu Tianzhuo. Perhaps… the two sisters would not have ended up in such a life-and-death situation today.
Now, the reason why the Great Zhou army captured the city of Xiliang so easily was because Li Tianfu was in the hands of the Great Zhou.
Li Tianfu had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor with the support of Tianfeng Kingdom, but Li Tianjiao was regarded as a mediocre ruler who led Tianfeng Kingdom into Xiliang.
Now many people from Xiliang and the generals stationed in the city of Xiliang believe that it was Li Tianfu, the second daughter of the late emperor of Xiliang, who united with the Great Zhou and the Yan State to drive away the Tianfeng State. Li Tianfu was the hero who drove away the Tianfeng State for Xiliang. Therefore, they are all willing to be loyal to Li Tianfu and overthrow her, the sinner of Xiliang.
If she had not finally asked General Cui Shanzhong, who had great appeal in Xiliang, to help, where would she have gotten so many troops now? But… this is also the last assets of Xiliang.
She hopes that Bai Qingyu can become Xiliang’s last hope for survival.
Li Tianjiao remembered that before Li Zhijie passed away, he held her hand and told her with his last breath that if things really didn’t work out, they should submit to the Great Zhou, so that at least the country could be saved!
Because Li Zhijie felt that Yan State, with its queen mother and young ruler, and the regent watching covetously, was unlikely to be a country that could unify the world.
On the contrary, the Bai family of the Great Zhou, with the whole family working together and the military and civilians being of one mind, is the image of a great country that can unify the world.
Later, when Li Zhijie was unconscious, he began to talk nonsense, saying that if he had known earlier, he would have agreed to submit to the Zhou Dynasty earlier, so that so many soldiers would not have died!
Li Zhijie hopes to see a peaceful and prosperous era in the next life without any more wars.
Thinking of Li Zhijie’s death, Li Tianjiao’s eyes swelled and ached. She took a deep breath, turned around and left the bedroom where Bai Qingyu was placed.
On the luxurious gold-painted carved wooden bed, Bai Qingyu’s eyes were tightly closed. The candlelight on the agarwood high table suddenly went out and then lit up again, flickering.
Xiao Ruohai had landed silently from the beam in the hall. He knelt on one knee on the footstool of the wooden bed, took out a white jade porcelain bottle from his chest, poured out a pill, put it into Bai Qingyu’s mouth, and waited quietly by the side.
After half a cup of tea, Bai Qingyu on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. He frowned and covered his chest with his hands. He sat up and looked outside.
Xiao Ruohai lowered his voice and whispered, “Fifth Young Master, I know everything! Yunjing and the Yunjing Palace… are roughly the same as the blueprint given by the Ninth Young Master, but probably because of the Ninth Young Master’s previous assassination of the Xiliang Emperor, some places have been changed. I have already figured it out, including the time for the Xiliang city gate to change guard…”
As he spoke, Xiao Ruohai took out the blueprint of Yunjing and the blueprint of the Yunjing Palace that he had drawn from his chest, and even marked many places such as dog holes in such detail that even Li Tianjiao himself might not know about them.
The blueprints of Yunjing and the Imperial Palace were given by Bai Qingyun when the army set out.
Bai Qingyun once lurked in the Xiliang Palace and dealt a fatal blow to the Xiliang Emperor, which led to the Yunjing Rebellion in Xiliang.
Bai Qingyu endured the discomfort of just waking up, unfolded the blueprint drawn by Xiao Ruohai and took a look at it, a smile appeared between his brows. He always knew that his eldest sister’s foster brother was powerful, his father had also said so before, but he didn’t expect him to be so powerful.
“The next step is to get the clothes of the Xiliang soldiers and get our Bai family army soldiers out of the prison without anyone noticing. Is it easy to get into the prison?” Bai Qingyu asked.
“Fortunately, with the help of the people that the third lady left in Xiliang, I have already visited the prison once. Our brothers in the Bai family army can speak some simple Xiliang dialect, but if they say too much, they will be exposed!” Xiao Ruohai said.
“That’s fine, let’s set it for tomorrow!” Bai Qingyu pointed at the grain and grass in Yunjing, and then at the armory, “Let’s set fire to these two places first, and then burn the other places where General Cui Shanzhong hides grain in the city. At the same time, let our people change into Xiliang’s military uniforms, pretend to capture the fleeing Bai family army, and escape by taking advantage of the chaos!”
“Then we need to send the clothes of the Xiliang soldiers in advance. This is very risky…” Xiao Ruohai was also worried, “If we send things in, the people left behind by the third lady might be exposed!”
“This will test the ability of the people left behind by the Third Lady. Tell them that this is the final battle of life and death, and they must fight with all their might! This matter… must succeed without failure, and must not be exposed. If it succeeds, you will be the hero who pacifies Yunjing!”
“Yes!” Xiao Ruohai responded, and seeing Bai Qingyu’s uncomfortable look, he quickly took out a brown porcelain bottle from his chest, “Fifth Master, take this medicine first…”
Bai Qingyu waved her hand: “I guess the imperial physician will come more frequently starting tomorrow, so it’s better to keep the pulse in check! Go and do your business first, grind the medicine and apply it to the medicine they prepared for me!”
The pills are placed in the medicine pot. As long as the medicine is boiled, the medicinal power will penetrate into the medicine.
Xiao Ruohai was afraid that the medicine given by Doctor Hong would react with the medicine prescribed by the Xiliang Imperial Physician, so he whispered, “But…if there is any drug in this medicine that reacts with the medicine prescribed by the Xiliang Imperial Physician, wouldn’t it be unsafe? I should find a chance to feed the Fifth Young Master myself!”
“Don’t waste your time on these little things! Go do the most important things!” Bai Qingyu looked at Xiao Ruohai, “Once everything is arranged, you should immediately leave the moat carefully and tell Third Brother to lead his troops to the North Gate before the time you set!”
