The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 182: one for ten
Chapter 182 One vs. Ten
“Yes, a few years ago, my martial arts skills were completely wasted, and I was a useless man!” She stared at Yun Poxing, who was already at the end of his strength, “But I heard that there was a man named Yun Poxing who was very afraid of the reputation of my Bai family army, like a child fearing his father! In order to boost his courage, he gathered together the wolves like Nanyan to boost his momentum, and secretly colluded with my grandfather’s deputy general Liu Huanzhang, gathered a million troops and used all kinds of conspiracy to kill all the men of my Bai family!”
“I thought… even if I’m a useless person, I can definitely chop off your head if I try my best! But it’s a pity that before I, a useless person like me, even use my strength, you’ve already been defeated and become a fish on my chopping board… You have to let me slaughter you, which is really disappointing!”
Her brows were cold and grim: “It seems that without Nanyan’s help and Liu Huanzhang’s message, Yun Poxing is worse than a useless woman like me!”
Yun Poxing’s eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth: “You are insulting me too much, you little brat!”
“To you, stating the facts is too much of an insult?!” She glared at Yun Poxing, gritting her teeth, “You beheaded my seventeenth brother and dissected his body. Isn’t this a heinous humiliation?! Although you used conspiracy and trickery to kill my grandfather and the men of my Bai family, you are the marshal of the enemy country and you benefited your motherland, Xiliang. I respect you. But you are a seven-foot-tall man, but you swung a knife at a ten-year-old child. It would have been fine if you had beheaded him, but you also dissected his belly and humiliated his body! You are not worthy of being a human being! I look down on you!”
Yun Poxing thought of the proud ten-year-old kid from the Bai family who was still strong before his death. He gritted his teeth and shouted, “When two armies are fighting, no matter if they are children or old men, anyone who picks up a sword is a warrior! Why are you so soft-hearted?!”
As soon as Yun Poxing finished speaking, an arrow broke through the air and pierced through his knee in the blink of an eye. It was so fast that even its shadow could not be seen. Blood splattered. Yun Poxing screamed on one knee, sweating profusely and looking at Bai Qingyan with gritted teeth.
“Marshal!”
The remaining soldiers of Xiliang drew their swords, but they dared not move under the encirclement and intimidation of General Bai.
“This arrow is for my seventeenth brother!” Her eyes were cold.
Another arrow pierced Yun Poxing’s right knee, and Yun Poxing knelt down in embarrassment.
“I shot this arrow so that you would kneel down and apologize to my seventeenth brother!”
“Kill me if you want! I, Yun Poxing, am not afraid!” Yun Poxing roared.
“Kill you?” She tightly grasped the Sun-Shooting Bow in her hand. “Killing a weakling like you is an insult to my Sun-Shooting Bow.”
“Xiao Baishuai! Use my sword! I am not afraid of Yun Poxing’s blood dishonoring my sword!” Cheng Yuanzhi had a firm expression and pulled out his own sword and handed it over, “I’ll wash it if it’s dirty before using it!”
Yun Poxing could not bear the humiliation, so he gritted his teeth, pulled out his scimitar and slashed his neck with it, intending to commit suicide.
“clang–”
Yun Poxing was holding the scimitar, but before it touched his neck, he was shot in the wrist by a feather arrow and the scimitar fell to the ground.
“Marshal!”
The remaining soldiers from Xiliang had red eyes and glared at Bai Qingyan with bared teeth like vicious dogs forced into a dead end alley.
“Yun Poxing, I will let you go today…” she said.
“Marshal Xiaobai! No! He killed the marshal and the deputy marshal! How can we let him go!” Cheng Yuanzhi opened his eyes wide. He had waited so long for this moment and wanted to pull out Yun Poxing’s tendons, peel off Yun Poxing’s skin, chop off his head and use it as a chamber pot. How could he just let him go? !
She didn’t change her tone, but just suppressed her hatred and looked at the stunned Yun Poxing, saying: “I will give you three years to go back to Xiliang and prepare. After three years… bring all your Yun family descendants to knock on the gate. If you don’t come, I will lead the Bai family army directly into your country, slaughter your Xiliang people, and wipe out your Xiliang royal family! Kill all nine clans of yours, Yun Poxing, and leave no one alive!”
Yun Poxing, who was in unbearable pain and unable to stand, looked up and saw the woman in front of him who was full of rage and murderous intent, but able to remain calm and composed. He felt panic in his heart.
“Move!” She raised the Sun-Shooting Bow high and ordered the Bai family army to move aside to make way for Yun Poxing.
“Little General Bai!” Cheng Yuanzhi knelt down with his fists clasped, “We can’t let Yun Poxing go! We must avenge all the Bai family soldiers!”
“Xiao Baishuai! You can’t let him go!”
The soldiers of the Bai family army were unwilling to give in, so they stepped forward and made a gesture of refusing to give in even to the death.
Her red eyes swept over the Bai family soldiers who were unwilling to give in, and she shouted, “Those who disobey my orders will be killed! Get out of the way!”
Military orders are as heavy as mountains. Even if the Bai family army’s soldiers were unwilling, they could only move aside, gritting their teeth and glaring at Yun Poxing.
Yun Poxing, whose legs could no longer walk, was carried up by the remnant soldiers of Xiliang. He looked at Bai Qingyan and said, “Are you really going to let me go?”
“You only have three years! I only hope that you can be stronger in three years… Don’t let me win as easily as I did today, like cutting a melon!”
After saying that, she stepped aside, and the Bai family soldiers also made way indignantly.
Despite Bai Qingyan’s words, the Xiliang Army was still worried. They raised their swords to protect Yun Poxing and tried to pass through the Bai family army who wanted to eat them alive with caution and alert expressions.
Soon, the remaining soldiers of Xiliang helped Yun Poxing out of the valley. A strong Xiliang soldier carried Yun Poxing on his back and ran away quickly, disappearing into the night, as if he was afraid that the Bai family army would go back on their word.
“Marshal Xiaobai, why did you let him go?!” Cheng Yuanzhi couldn’t help but asked in grief and anger, “Although it was a military order, I was unwilling to do it! Yun Poxing cut off the deputy commander’s head and hung it in their military camp to humiliate our Bai family army! Marshal Xiaobai is the deputy commander’s eldest daughter… How could you let the murderer of your father go?!”
Bai Qingyan stared at the darkness, clenching her fists tightly. She turned to look at Cheng Yuanzhi only when she could no longer see Yun Poxing. She suppressed her hatred and said, “I know General Cheng is unwilling to accept this, and neither are the soldiers! My grandfather, father, uncle, and brother died so tragically! Am I willing to accept this?! I am even more unwilling! But if I don’t let Yun Poxing go today, in this battle in Southern Xinjiang… the prince will not leave a single soldier of the Bai family alive!”
Amid the howling cold wind in the valley, the woman’s sonorous voice rang out: “Why do you think grandfather went to war… His Majesty let Prince Xin, who had never been to the battlefield, supervise the army with a golden order? Why do you think Prince Xin dared to force grandfather to go out to fight the enemy? How do you think Prince Liang dared to forge a letter to accuse grandfather of treason? Because the current emperor and the flatterers in the court… have long regarded my Bai Family Army as a tiger beside their bed, and want to get rid of it as soon as possible! Why? Because you are the Bai Family Army! Because you are holding the black sail and white python flag! Because they regard the Bai Family Army as the Bai Family’s private army! Because my Bai Family Army is too brave! Because my Bai Family Army can fight ten people at once! Because the Bai Family Army is famous… It shocks all countries! Because the popularity of my Bai Family Army is unmatched in Jin!”
“Bai Qingyan is still able to stand here today, fighting and dying with you all! I should kneel down to thank General Fang Yan! I should kneel down to thank General Yue Zhizhou! I should kneel down to thank the Bai family’s loyal servants Wu Zhe and Ji Tingyu! It was they who risked their lives and sacrificed their lives… to send the marching records back to the capital, so as to clear my grandfather’s stigma of using the army in a willful manner to gain military merit! It cleared my grandfather’s crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason! It forced Your Majesty to severely punish Prince Xin and give justice to my Bai family, and to spare the life of my Bai family’s widow!”
