The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1410: Rough guy
Chapter 1410 Rough Man
“If the King of Hancheng wants soldiers, then send someone to take them. If the King of Hancheng wants soldiers for rebellion… our army is here, so we can just clean up this mess right here!” As soon as Bai Qingyan finished speaking, his smile deepened, “But, I bet… the King of Hancheng wants soldiers to protect the people living along the coast!”
This is because he has full faith in the King of Hancheng. Taiwei Lu was worried, but seeing Bai Qingyan’s insistence, as Bai Qingyan’s most valued minister, Taiwei Lu felt that he could not say anything, so he just said, “If so, who does Your Majesty plan to send to lead the troops?”
“I’ll go!” Bai Qingyu said.
“Ayu just came back, he should spend more time with my aunt, and he just recovered from such a serious injury! I’d better go…” Bai Qingqi said calmly, “Besides, Ayu is my eldest sister’s brother, if he goes, it will inevitably mean that he can use his status to suppress King Hancheng.”
“If Third Brother goes, won’t he be using his status to put pressure on King Hancheng?” Bai Jinzhi realized after saying this that she had blocked her way to ask for permission to go to Daliang. She pursed her lips, clasped her fists and said to Bai Qingyan, “Eldest sister, why don’t we… let General Cheng and the others go to make amends for their crimes?”
Bai Jinzhi’s words immediately touched Bai Qingyan’s heart. Bai Qingyan had this plan in mind…
After all, Cheng Yuanzhi and others were stripped of their official positions just to serve as a minor punishment, and we still have to find a chance to re-employ these people. This time is a very good opportunity.
However, Bai Qingyan, Bai Qingqi and Bai Qingyu did not expect that these words would come out of Bai Jinzhi’s mouth.
“Usually, Xiao Si goes wherever there’s a fight? Today… he’s not fighting or competing?” Bai Qingqi couldn’t help but chuckle.
“I’m not a fool!” Bai Jinzhi puffed out his chest. “If the King of Hancheng doesn’t intend to rebel as my elder sister said, I will have to obey his orders when I go there. I’m a king! And a king who was surrendered by him! Why should I obey his orders? If the King of Hancheng really wants to rebel… our court will definitely recruit soldiers, and we will go to fight the King of Hancheng! If I go there then, I will beat him so hard that his own mother won’t recognize him, and he will call me his ancestor!”
Taiwei Lu looked at Bai Jinzhi and found that Bai Jinzhi was not as brave but foolish as the outside world said. In fact, he was still very smart, but… he kept talking about fighting and killing, his mother and ancestors. He was too straightforward, just like a rough man in the military camp.
He suddenly remembered what he heard from his son, that the third wife of the Bai family, Li, seemed to be looking for a husband for Bai Jinzhi. Taiwei Lu couldn’t help but feel sorry for Prince Gao Yi’s future in-laws. Having such a daughter-in-law would be like having Lu Yuanpeng in the family. It would be restless.
Bai Qingyan cleared his throat, signaling Bai Jinzhi to be more restrained in front of General Lu. Bai Jinzhi came back to his senses, smiled at General Lu and bowed: “General, I’ve been in the barracks for too long. It’s all General Cheng’s fault that I became like this. Recently, my mother is pressuring me to change. General Lu, please don’t mind!”
“No, no!” Lieutenant Lu hurriedly bowed to Bai Jinzhi, “Prince Gao Yi is a quick-witted man, a straightforward and cheerful man… and a chivalrous man. Everyone in our capital knows this, so I don’t mind! I’m going to say something presumptuous, but Prince Gao Yi is about the same age as my granddaughter. If my granddaughter could be half as lively as Prince Gao Yi, our family wouldn’t be so quiet and uneasy after Lu Yuanpeng left!”
General Lu had followed the Emperor of Jin for a long time, and he knew how to measure his praise, which was both insincere and yet seemed extremely sincere, and made Bai Jinzhi even happier and more proud after hearing it.
“General Lu, you are too polite! General Lu is my eldest sister’s imperial tutor. If Lu Yuanpeng is not around in the future… General Lu feels that the mansion is quiet, so just let Feng Lang send an invitation to me and my cousin Ting Zhen!” Bai Jinzhi said with a righteous smile.
After returning from Southern Xinjiang, Bai Jinzhi had become close friends with Lu Fenglang and Dong Tingzhen.
General Lu thanked him repeatedly.
“Then it’s settled. In this way… at the court tomorrow morning, General Lu will be the villain and take the lead in opposing the dispatch of troops, pointing out that King Hancheng has ulterior motives!” Bai Qingyan saw General Lu nod in agreement, and then turned to look at Bai Qingqi, “Aqi will propose the matter of sending Cheng Yuanzhi and others to wait for punishment and make meritorious contributions!”
As he spoke, Bai Qingyan’s eyes fell on Bai Jinzhi again: “Although the idea was proposed by Xiao Si, Xiao Si is not very reliable on weekdays. It is inevitable that the court officials will not be convinced when he speaks out!”
“I’ll listen to my elder sister!” Bai Jinzhi’s eyes and eyebrows were filled with sweet smiles.
After leaving Bai Qingyan’s place, Bai Jinzhi caught up with General Lu who was about to leave, asked about Lu Yuanpeng’s injury, and took out a bottle of medicine for Lu Yuanpeng from his pocket and said, “This is the medicine prepared by Doctor Hong. According to my previous experience of being beaten by military sticks, the medicine I sent last time should have been used up in two days. I happened to run into General Lu, so I will give this medicine to him and take it back. I still have to deliver medicine to General Cheng, General Shen, and Sima Ping!”
“Thank you, King Gaoyi, for your concern!” General Lu bowed quickly.
“General Lu, please don’t be polite!” Bai Jinzhi returned the greeting to General Lu, said goodbye, and went to chase his third and fifth brothers.
Commandant Lu looked at the bottle of medicine in his hand, and at Bai Jinzhi’s back as he caught up with Bai Qingqi and Bai Qingyu, with a smile on his face. The royal family members who are the heads of the Bai family are the least like royal family members, but they inexplicably make the hearts of these ministers warm.
The Bai family really knows how to teach their children!
After Bai Qingyu and Bai Qingqi left, Bai Qingyan wrote a secret letter and attached a token, calling out: “Xingchen…”
Xingchen appeared in the hall in response: “Master!”
“Send this letter and token to the hands of King Hancheng, and deliver it before the army reaches the coast. Leave after delivering it, and don’t stay any longer and don’t say anything!” Bai Qingyan pointed to the wrapped token and letter on the table.
“yes!”
Xingchen took the token and letter and was about to leave when he heard Bai Qingyan say, “After this is done, you can go back and rest for a few days. You’ve worked hard coming back from Southern Xinjiang. We will need you in the future. It won’t delay anything if you recover and come back for your shift.”
Xingchen was startled and subconsciously looked at his chest. He didn’t know how Bai Qingyan knew about his injury. Could it be that the smell of the medicine had leaked out?
Seeing that the stars were not moving, she dipped her pen into ink and said, “Go!”
“yes!”
In Bai Qingyan’s letter to King Hancheng, he mentioned the resistance he would encounter in the court when he asked for troops this time, but King Hancheng wanted troops… and they would still be sent, but the rhetoric would be changed to say that the purpose of sending troops was to test King Hancheng’s strength. If King Hancheng wanted to rebel, he would be suppressed, but if he really wanted to protect the people along the coast, he would obey orders.
