The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1255: save lives
Chapter 1255: All-out rescue
When Xiao Rongyan found out that Bai Qingyan did this… in order to make his sister-in-law, the Queen Mother of Yan, think that Bai Qingyan broke with Xiao Rongyan for his brother, and thus stop making things difficult for Xiao Rongyan, and even trust Xiao Rongyan to pave the way for the merger of the two countries in the future, he was filled with mixed feelings for a moment.
His sister-in-law was originally the person Xiao Rongyan trusted the most, but now… he even asked his wife to act with him to deceive the people sent by his sister-in-law to monitor him.
She asked Xiao Rongyan to take good care of himself for her and the child, not to get hurt, and to try his best to play the role of an abandoned husband who was abandoned by Bai Qingyan and was full of anger and broke up with Bai Qingyan in front of Queen Dowager Yan.
When Xiao Rongyan saw this, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
At the end of the letter, Bai Qingyan also mentioned Yue Shi, saying that Yue Shi was wronged this time, but although Yue Shi was a martial arts expert, he was a pure-hearted person, and everything showed on his face, so this matter was concealed from Yue Shi, and he also reminded Yue Shi to hide his thoughts afterwards.
He took Bai Qingyan’s letter and read it over and over again. The heavy stone on his heart was finally removed. He was relieved because Bai Qingyan believed that he could save Bai Qingyu.
“Master…what did the eldest lady say?” Yue Shi asked in a low voice.
Although Xiao Rongyan was reluctant to part with it, he couldn’t keep the letter. He carefully stroked Bai Qingyan’s handwritten letter, and then lit it up with his own hands. Tong Yueshi said, “Just pretend that we haven’t received this letter. Do what you need to do! Don’t let anyone see any clues.”
Yue Shi nodded: “Master, don’t worry, the Bai family guards have already told me!”
As the two were talking, the secret guard that Xiao Rongyan had sent out on the night Bai Qingyu was captured… to search for the entrance to Yunjing City along the river, and who had inquired about the news in Yunjing City, came back.
“Master!” The soaked secret guard put on the cloak given by his comrade, and knelt outside Xiao Rongyan’s tent with water still dripping from his body.
Seeing this, Xiao Rongyan stood up quickly and told Yue Shi: “Go get the brazier and some clean clothes!”
The secret guard stood up and walked in, just as he was about to salute again, but was stopped by Xiao Rongyan: “No need to be so polite, let’s talk about the important things!”
There was no brazier in Xiao Rongyan’s tent, and it would take some time to light the brazier, so he poured a cup of hot tea for the secret guard.
“Master, our people are now in Yunjing City. We have found the prisoners of the Bai family army. They have locked up all the captured Bai family soldiers in the prison. They are given enough water every day, but only a small bite of food.” The secret guard trembled and his tongue was straight. “They are not allowed to starve to death, but they definitely don’t have the strength to escape! So the guards are relatively loose.”
Soon Yue Shi had someone bring in the brazier, and he went to get his clean clothes and gave them to the secret guard to wear.
“Go inside and change your clothes first, and then we’ll talk!” Xiao Rongyan pointed inside the screen to the secret guard.
The secret guard stretched out his blue hand to take the clothes, went behind the screen, changed his clothes, came out and sat in front of the brazier, and continued to talk to Xiao Rongyan: “I have already mobilized the master’s secret line in Xiliang, and when I went to take care of the prison, I met the foster brother of the Great Zhou Emperor! I have seen him before!”
Xiao Rongyan nodded. He heard from Yue Shi that Xiao Ruohai was also beside Bai Qingyu.
“But without the master’s order, we did not contact the emperor of the Great Zhou without permission. We found that the Great Zhou also used some shops!”
“Where are Bai Qingyu and the seventh daughter of the Bai family? Have you found out about them? How are they?” Xiao Rongyan asked.
“General Bai has been brought into the palace. Our secret agents in the palace said that Emperor Xiliang and Cui Shanzhong both think highly of General Bai. The imperial physician is almost exclusively guarding a side hall of the palace. But… the seventh young lady of the Bai family is definitely not in the palace, nor is she in prison!” said the secret guard.
Xiao Rongyan’s palms tightened. The seventh daughter of the Bai family was not here. Where did she go?
Since the seventh daughter of the Bai family has not been caught, she cannot be in Yunjing. Now that Yunjing is under such strict control, she should still be outside. Is she in danger? Or… she fell off her horse and was injured, and cannot return to the Great Zhou military camp for the time being?
Xiao Rongyan had already sent a large number of troops to look for Bai Jinse. He thought about it for a moment… and remembered the day when he and Bai Qingyu jointly set up an ambush. There were hungry people from Dayan who were about to come to Yunjing, but they found out that there was a war in Yunjing and bypassed Yunjing and went south.
Xiao Rongyan immediately ordered Yue Shi to send someone out to look for the seventh daughter of the Bai family in the direction the refugees left, and then asked the secret guard to continue.
“We have arranged for our people to enter the palace and can rescue General Bai at any time! I originally came back to ask for orders, asking the master whether to rescue the Bai family army now, but when I came out of the city’s drainage pipes along the moat… I ran into the emperor of the Great Zhou! The two of us ran into each other!” Xiao Rongyan’s secret guard seemed to feel guilty, “I was followed all the way without knowing it, and later Mr. Xiao told me that General Bai planned to set fire to Xiliang’s granary and armory at the hour of Mao tomorrow, rescue the brothers of the Bai family army, and then set off fireworks to open the city gate!”
“General Bai plans to stay in the palace. Mr. Xiao said that General Bai stayed in the palace to make the Xiliang Emperor and General Cui Shanzhong think that they still have a trump card in their hands and that they are not at the end of their rope! They will think that if the Bai family army really wants to escape, they will definitely go to the palace to rescue General Bai first, so that they will hesitate and buy time for the Great Zhou and Yan armies!”
In fact, when the secret guard heard Xiao Ruohai talk about Bai Qingyu’s plan, he felt both admiration and surprise.
He didn’t expect that Bai Qingyu was alone in the palace, and was still thinking of using his identity to buy time for the Zhou army and the Yan army so as not to let the Xiliang army fight to the death.
What is surprising is that Bai Qingyu dared to do it alone!
Xiao Rongyan clenched his palms tightly. This Bai Qingyu… is really bold!
“Master, then… when are we going to rescue General Bai?” The secret guard was extremely worried. “If… if according to General Bai’s plan, tomorrow our Yan State and the Great Zhou really invade Yunjing and break into the palace, I’m afraid General Bai will also be in danger. Even if General Bai is brave, he is only one person. I’m afraid…”
The secret guards still remember the benefits of the Great Zhou. The Great Zhou knew that Yan State was short of food and weapons, so it always contributed more during the war with Tianfeng State… and also gave more of the spoils to Yan State to alleviate their plight.
This time it was because of a traitor in their Yan State that Bai Qingyu was in danger. As an ally… their Yan State was in the wrong.
Xiao Rongyan rested his elbow on his knee with one hand, staring at the charcoal fire in the brazier, wondering what she would do if it were Bai Qingyan!
After a while, Xiao Rongyan said, “Tomorrow, the Bai family army in the city will cooperate in the siege, and our people… will be responsible for rescuing people!”
“Yes!” The secret guard put down the cup in his hand, stood up and went back to pass on the order.
