Chapter 1274 Reading
Bai Qingqi had just asked Doctor Hong. Although Bai Qingyu’s current condition looked critical, Doctor Hong was still very confident and said, “Don’t worry. With Doctor Hong here, nothing will happen…”
Bai Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Bai Qingyu was fine. Just as she was about to go in to take a look, Bai Qingqi grabbed her arm and his eyes fell on her neck.
Seeing that Bai Jinzhi’s neck was still wrapped in bloody fine cotton cloth, Bai Jinxiu’s heart rose to her throat. Without waiting for Bai Qingqi to speak, she asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Thinking of the wound on his neck, Bai Jinzhi touched it with his hand and said, “It’s okay, just a bite from an arrow, the wound is not deep! Later I caught the archer, I think I can bring this person back to the capital… to teach archery to our little niece and nephew!”
If Lu Yuanpeng had not been quick to pull Bai Jinzhi back, Bai Jinzhi might have been shot in the throat by an arrow.
An arrow shot through the throat, which was exactly the archery technique of the eldest sister. Bai Jinzhi became interested at that time. She rushed up to the tower regardless of the consequences and rescued the archer from her brothers. She ordered people to keep him alive and take him back to the capital city…
Originally, it should have been a time to celebrate after the annihilation of Xiliang, but the Great Zhou army was worried because Master Bai Wu, who had risked his life to enter Yunjing City, had a high fever.
Shen Kunyang and the others also rushed over and saw Bai Qingqi. They were relieved to hear from Bai Qingqi that Bai Qingyu was fine.
Bai Qingqi asked Shen Kunyang and the others to go and rest, but how could they sleep?
The shame that had weighed on their hearts for three years was finally washed away today… by destroying Xiliang. Today, they finally avenged their commander-in-chief, their deputy commander-in-chief… the generals of the Bai family, and their deceased brothers in the Bai family’s army.
“I heard that the Third Young Master has asked people to prepare incense and candles?” Shen Kunyang asked Bai Qingqi in a low voice, holding the blood-stained sword at his waist.
Bai Qingqi nodded without taking off his armor: “After taking Yunjing and destroying Xiliang, I have to tell my grandfather, uncle, and… brothers in the Bai Family Army!”
Wei Zhaonian’s throat churned as he responded, “I will go with the Third Young Master!”
“I’ll go too!” Shen Kunyang said loudly.
“I, Old Cheng, will go too!” Cheng Yuanzhi said quickly, “Even if General Gu doesn’t come this time, he would be so happy that he could jump up!”
Thinking of Bai Qingyu, whose fever had not yet subsided, Shen Kunyang asked in a low voice, “Third Young Master, do you want to wait for Fifth Young Master to wake up and go together?”
The Fifth Young Master is the son of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief. In Shen Kunyang’s private mind, in order to destroy Xiliang and commemorate the Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Commander, generals and brothers of the Bai Family Army, Bai Qingyu cannot be left out of this matter. What’s more, Bai Qingyu is the chief contributor. If Bai Qingyu had not risked his life and put himself in danger, it would be unknown how many soldiers of the Great Zhou would have died in the capture of Yunjing.
The same goes for Rongdi. If it weren’t for Bai Qingyu, it wouldn’t have been so easy to subdue them.
Bai Qingqi slowly said: “Let Fifth Brother have a good rest!”
Bai Qingqi thought of Ayu lying on the bed in agony, calling out their brothers’ names, and of Ayu calling him “Third Brother”… His heart felt as if it was being stabbed back and forth by a knife.
If he had gone faster during the battle in Southern Xinjiang, Ayu wouldn’t have suffered that!
Thinking of this, Bai Qingqi felt an irritable sense of self-blame and annoyance in his heart: “Generals, go and have a rest!”
After saying that, Bai Qingqi turned back to the hall.
Seeing Bai Qingqi, who usually kept his emotions to himself, suddenly lose his composure, Shen Kunyang couldn’t help but worry about Bai Qingyu.
“Is there something wrong with the Fifth Young Master? Why is the Third Young Master…”
Cheng Yuanzhi always speaks without thinking, but he spoke out Shen Kunyang’s concerns.
“What nonsense are you talking about? The spirits of the commander-in-chief, the deputy commander-in-chief and the generals of the Bai family are protecting the fifth young master in heaven!” Wei Zhaonian frowned and scolded Cheng Yuanzhi.
“Pooh, pooh, pooh! I can’t spit out ivory from a dog’s mouth! You keep talking nonsense all day long!” Cheng Yuanzhi slapped his mouth twice in annoyance, then tightly grasped the sword at his waist and said, “The Fifth Young Master will be safe!”
“Ah!” Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly exclaimed and turned to look at General Shen Kunyang, “I forgot to ask you, Third Young Master, is Yunjing now part of our Great Zhou or the Kingdom of Yan?”
“The Ninth Prince of Yan State has left the palace and is living in Yun Mansion, and has let the Fifth Prince and the Great Zhou Army take over the palace. This attitude is very clear!” Shen Kunyang said, “Okay, let’s not gather here, let’s go back!”
The three turned around and were about to leave when they saw Wei Zhong, the eunuch beside Bai Qingyan, walking in with his guards…
Shen Kunyang’s grip on the sword tightened, remembering that Bai Qingyan had just given birth and had gone to Xiliang. He thought Bai Qingyan had arrived, and hurried to greet him: “Eunuch Wei!”
When Wei Zhong saw the three generals Shen Kunyang, Wei Zhaonian and Cheng Yuanzhi, he immediately bowed and said, “This old servant greets the three generals!”
Before Wei Zhong could speak, the big guy Cheng Yuanzhi immediately squeezed over, making Shen Kunyang stagger. He asked hurriedly, “But Xiao Baishuai is here?! Eunuch Wei, why don’t you try to persuade Xiao Baishuai when you are around him all day? It’s already dangerous for Xiao Baishuai to have a baby prematurely, why don’t you stop him!”
Shen Kunyang: “…”
“Your Majesty has not yet arrived in Yunjing. General Cheng, don’t worry, Your Majesty has stopped on the way and is resting peacefully after giving birth.” Wei Zhong still spoke in his leisurely manner, “I haven’t congratulated you all on the joy of pacifying Yunjing yet.”
“How is Xiao Baishuai?” Cheng Yuanzhi asked, “Are the little prince and the little princess okay?”
Wei Zhong knew that Cheng Yuanzhi had always been like this, so he smiled and said, “General Cheng, don’t worry, your majesty and the little prince and princess are all fine. Your majesty would be very happy if he knew that the generals had pacified Yunjing! This time, I came here to deliver a letter to the young masters and ladies on behalf of your majesty. I dare not delay and will meet with the three generals another day.”
Cheng Yuanzhi wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Wei Zhaonian, who stepped aside to make way for the steps of the main hall: “Eunuch Wei, please…”
Wei Zhong smiled and nodded to the three generals, then followed the guards who led him into the Yunjing Palace and walked into the main hall.
This time, Wei Zhonglai came on behalf of Bai Qingyan to deliver a letter to the young master and young lady of the Bai family, as well as Xiao Rongyan.
When Bai Jinxiu heard that her elder sister had sent Wei Zhong to deliver the letter, she immediately went out to greet him: “Eunuch Wei…”
Wei Zhong did not delay and pulled out the letter that had been hidden in his sleeve. He raised it above his head and handed it to Bai Jinxiu respectfully: “Second Miss, this is the personal letter that His Majesty asked me to deliver day and night! Please read it in person, young masters and young ladies.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingqi walked out from the inner room.
Wei Zhong hurriedly saluted, but Bai Qingqi waved his hand to indicate that Wei Zhong did not need to be polite. He stood behind Bai Jinxiu and watched Bai Jinxiu open the letter. The two of them read it together.
