The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 1259: Grace
“Now the Great Zhou and Yan have fallen out over this matter! The Emperor of the Great Zhou had a deep affection for his brother, and even left his own child to come to Xiliang for his brother’s sake. It can be seen how angry she is!” General Cui Shanzhong thought of another thing and couldn’t help but chuckled, “But… I know that when Yan and the Great Zhou joined forces to attack the Tianfeng Kingdom, the Great Zhou contributed the most because of Yan’s lack of food and soldiers. But every time the spoils were divided, the Great Zhou would give the majority to Yan!”
He turned to look at Li Tianjiao and said, “Your Majesty, think about it. The Great Zhou treated the Yan Kingdom so sincerely, but the Yan Kingdom stabbed it in the back. If this happened to anyone, who would not be able to bear it?”
“So, the Great Zhou Emperor was so angry that he lost his mind and neglected his own body. He even ignored his premature child and rushed to Xiliang…” Li Tianjiao always felt it was a little unbelievable.
Old General Cui Shanzhong shook his head. “The Great Zhou Emperor is certainly angry, but she is definitely not reckless! She came to Xiliang while dispatching troops to the border of Yan State. It is obvious that she wants to… destroy our Xiliang, trap the two armies led by the Ninth Prince of Yan State and General Xie Xun of Yan State here, and then let the Great Zhou army on the border of Yan State attack Yan State! Turn Yan State into meat on the chopping block!”
After being enlightened by General Cui Shanzhong, Li Tianjiao suddenly became clear-headed and bowed to General Cui Shanzhong: “General, you are still amazing!”
Cui Shanzhong quickly avoided Li Tianjiao’s salute and returned the salute: “I am not that powerful! The truly powerful one… is the Emperor of the Great Zhou! Your Majesty… now you know what kind of opponent we in Xiliang are facing?”
Although Li Tianjiao admired Bai Qingyan in the past, as they were both emperors, she did not think she was any worse than Bai Qingyan. She just felt that Xiliang was already a mess when it was handed over to her, and she had done her best.
But now, she knew that the Emperor of the Great Zhou was more powerful than her, at least when it came to the use of military force.
“So, what the old general means is that after the Emperor of Great Zhou arrives, we will… willingly submit to Great Zhou and pledge our loyalty! Then send Bai Qingyu back and sow discord between Yan and Great Zhou! Let Yan and Great Zhou fight!” Li Tianjiao put his hands behind his back, “Before the Emperor of Great Zhou arrives in Xiliang, we can go to the Ninth Prince of Yan and say that we are willing to submit to Yan to stabilize Yan.”
Cui Shanzhong nodded: “Whether it is for the Great Zhou or the Yan State, after destroying Xiliang, if any of them wants to unify the world, they will have to fight against each other. Since ancient times, weak countries have formed alliances to fight against strong countries! Instead of wasting their troops to fight against our Xiliang, which is about to perish, they might as well first destroy another country that is stronger than Xiliang! Only if they all think so, can our Xiliang survive in the cracks!”
“What does the old general plan to do?” Li Tianjiao asked.
“Your old minister, I would like to meet the Ninth Prince of Dayan right now.” said the old general Cui Shanzhong.
“Everything is subject to the old general’s arrangements!” said Li Tianjiao.
After watching General Cui Shanzhong leave, Li Tianjiao suddenly said, “Go tell the people in Xiliang hiding in various places that if we lose this battle, after I die… rescue Li Tianfu at all costs!”
As soon as Li Tianjiao finished speaking, the light above her head swayed, as if…what she said just now was just Li Tianjiao’s own mumbling.
If General Cui Shanzhong’s plan fails, if the Great Zhou and Yan will eventually attack the city…
Although Li Tianjiao knew which palace the secret escape passage was in, he didn’t know where it was exactly.
However, even if she knew, Li Tianjiao also had the pride of being the Emperor of Xiliang. She would never watch Xiliang perish while she herself lived in disgrace.
If Xiliang Kingdom is destroyed, she will sacrifice her life for her country and let Li Tianfu live!
It can be considered as… leaving a little bloodline for their Xiliang Li family. I hope she can become an ordinary person, live her life in peace and peace, and stop thinking about the dead eunuch. This is the last thing she, as the eldest sister, can do for her.

Just as Xiao Rongyan was preparing to cooperate with Bai Qingyu’s operation tonight, the spy he sent to keep an eye on Yunjing reported that Cui Shanzhong came out of the city and headed towards their Yan army.
Xiao Rongyan immediately ordered all the soldiers to stop their preparations, and they left the tent, mounted their horses, and headed towards Yunjing.
Xiao Rongyan and General Cui Shanzhong met on the way. General Cui Shanzhong smiled and said, “The Yan army is well-informed!”
Sitting on the horseback, Xiao Rongyan pulled up the reins and stepped forward, bowed to General Cui Shanzhong, and said with a smile: “General Cui, are you going to our Yan army camp?”
“That’s right. I heard that the Great Zhou had deployed troops on the border of Yan State, so I came to see the Ninth Prince of Yan State. I want to discuss with him the matter of Xiliang’s submission to the throne.” General Cui Shanzhong said with a smile, “I brought some wine. If the Ninth Prince doesn’t mind, why don’t you…get off your horse and drink with me?”
“Thank you General Cui for your appreciation. Murong Yan will gladly accompany you!” Xiao Rongyan jumped off his horse.
General Cui’s entourage brought cushions and a small table, and the two sat opposite each other.
“Your Highness the Ninth Prince, do you know that the Emperor of the Great Zhou, who had just given birth, is rushing to Yunjing at full speed while deploying troops on the border of the State of Yan? What is his plan?” Old General Cui picked up the wine that was warming on the stove and poured a glass for Xiao Rongyan and himself respectively.
The torches dancing in the wind made Xiao Rongyan’s features flicker. He smiled calmly and said, “I’d like to hear more about it.”
General Cui put the wine pot back on the stove and spoke slowly: “Yan State and Great Zhou are both ambitious countries, and both want to unify the world! Although the emperor of Great Zhou is a woman, she can definitely be called a hero of the time, and she is many times better than men like us! She is also more ruthless than men like us, otherwise she would not have abandoned a pair of prematurely born children and rushed to Xiliang!”
Xiao Rongyan said nothing, his deep dark eyes only staring at General Cui.
General Cui took a sip from the wine glass in front of him, then said with a smile, “The Queen Mother of Yan stabbed the Great Zhou in the back, but at this time she was extremely angry… The Emperor of Great Zhou, who was willing to abandon her children to come to Xiliang for revenge, did not attack Yan directly, but deployed troops on the border of Yan. Why? Isn’t it just to… make you, the Ninth Prince of Yan, feel that she still cares about the kindness of the Ninth Prince in rushing to help Jiangzi City, so that… the Ninth Prince and General Xie Xun of Yan will not lead troops back to help Yan immediately!”
Xiao Rongyan chuckled, picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip, then continued to listen to what General Cui said. It must be said… General Cui was very eloquent, and what he said… he almost believed it.
