The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 185: Heaven has eyes
Chapter 185 Heaven has eyes
But after calming down, Qin Shangzhi couldn’t help but feel that he was just shocked by Bai Qingyan’s words and acted impulsively at the time.
It is so difficult for women to make a name for themselves in this world, not to mention that he is already over 40 years old and the Bai family is treading on thin ice in the capital city. He thought that he might not be able to wait for the day when Bai Qingyan could take up the banner of the Bai family army, or the day when Bai Qingyan would grow up to be able to join hands with him to support the people of Dajin!
So, after he met the prince, he chose to follow him.
Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time… Bai Qingyan came to Southern Xinjiang just as she said… and took up the banner of the Bai Family Army!
Regret!
He regretted looking down on the eldest daughter of the Bai family, who was as brave as any man.
But he is a scholar and a strategist!
The most important thing for a counsellor is loyalty and honesty. Once he has chosen a master, he will never be disloyal and will never serve two different masters. Otherwise, if he leaves his name behind… he will be ridiculed by the world!
He must not underestimate the integrity that a counselor should have!
Although he could not stand shoulder to shoulder with Bai Qingyan as Shilipo had promised, he was willing to risk his life to ensure Bai Qingyan’s safety during this trip to southern Xinjiang.

Wengcheng has just received the news that Wengshan Gorge has won a great victory!
The three generals of the Bai family army who were recuperating in Wengcheng were shocked to hear that the young Bai commander Bai Qingyan had arrived and was leading the Bai family army that had won the victory in Wengshan back to Wengcheng.
Wei Zhaonian, Gu Wenchang, and Shen Kunyang, all three of them were veterans in the army. They all knew how badly Bai Qingyan was injured back then. He was injured in the abdomen and fell into a turbulent river in the dead of winter. They all felt that it was a blessing from God that he was able to survive under such circumstances, and they also felt sorry that Marshal Bai had lost all his martial arts.
But now, why is Xiao Baishuai back again? !
How can she go to the battlefield when she has lost all her martial arts skills? !
Did Cheng Yuanzhi protect Xiao Baishuai well in this battle? Did he let Xiao Baishuai get hurt? !
The Bai family soldiers who were recuperating in the city wall climbed up the city wall and looked into the distance.
The Bai family soldiers, who were leaning on crutches and wrapping their wounds with fine cotton cloth, saw from afar a large army galloping towards them, holding high the black sail and white python flag. Someone shouted excitedly, “They’re back! They’re back! Our Bai family army is back!”
The crowd on the city wall suddenly became excited, and everyone shouted: “The Bai family army is back!”
Gu Wenchang, who was leaning on a cane, suppressed his excitement and asked softly about the injured eye… Wei Zhaonian, who was dressed in a white robe: “Did you see how handsome Xiaobai is?!”
Before Wei Zhaonian could answer, he heard Shen Kunyang pointing in the distance and shouting, “Look! Isn’t that Xiao Baishuai… the figure in the front holding the silver spear!”
The horses were getting closer and closer. Gu Wenchang and Shen Kunyang could clearly see Bai Qingyan riding in front of the team. Even Wei Zhaonian, who had only one eye left, could see him clearly.
Wei Zhaonian clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes turned red, and his breathing became rapid.
He thought that if all the generals of the Bai family died in battle, the Bai family army would no longer be the Bai family army, and the remaining 10,000 Bai family soldiers… would probably also be lost in southern Xinjiang.
He thought that since he had not stopped Cheng Yuanzhi from leading 10,000 Bai Family Army soldiers out of the city to rescue the 50,000 reinforcements sent by the imperial court, today would become the anniversary of the death of the Bai Family Army soldiers. He thought… from now on, there would be no more Bai Family Army soldiers in the world!
However, General Bai came quietly, and after winning… he brought back the 10,000 Bai family soldiers!
Wei Zhaonian’s blood boiled in his chest. At this point, he finally believed that the 50,000 reinforcements were indeed defeated Yun Poxing’s army of more than 100,000. Bai Qingyan, the eldest granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, was a natural-born general and always made plans without omissions.
Wei Zhaonian looked up at the starry sky, gritting his teeth…
God has eyes and will not destroy the Bai family army!
It was the marshal, deputy marshal and generals of the Bai family. The dead soldiers of the Bai family army blessed the 10,000 remaining soldiers of the Bai family, so they called in the little Bai Marshal!
“It’s really General Xiaobai! Quick! Follow me out of the city to welcome General Xiaobai!” Gu Wenchang shouted with tears in his eyes. Excited, Gu Wenchang limped towards the city wall on crutches.
Shen Kunyang and Wei Zhaonian hurriedly followed Gu Wenchang and walked towards the city wall.
The heavy city gate with marks left by battle axes slowly opened, and the ground was covered with wood chips mixed with blood. These were the traces left by the Western Liang Army after the siege. The soldiers in the city wall only cleaned up the corpses because they were afraid that the Western Liang Army would return to attack them, so they had no time to clean up the remaining traces.
Gu Wenchang, Wei Zhaonian and Shen Kunyang, with the wounded Bai family soldiers, stood at the front end of the moat suspension bridge, looking at the war horses galloping in the dark night. It was like looking at a bright light in the darkness, which was fascinating even if it was faint.
“Sister! There are people in front!” Bai Jinzhi pointed at the hundreds of people vaguely visible in front of the Wengcheng Suspension Bridge.
“That’s Lao Shen and the others!” Cheng Yuanzhi raised his hand, signaling the speeding team to slow down.
Bai Qingyan grasped the reins and rode his horse quickly to the Wengcheng suspension bridge, then stopped the horse and looked at the wounded soldiers of the Bai family army in front of him… Seeing that they were all wearing mourning cloths, his eyes swelled and ached.
She dismounted, her throat choked with sobs. Before she could say anything, she heard the unshaven Shen Kunyang call out “Little Bai Marshal”. The wounded soldiers of the White Army then knelt on one knee with their fists clasped.
“Uncle Gu, Uncle Shen, General Wei, Qingyan is late!” Bai Qingyan’s eyes were filled with tears, and he knelt down and bowed to the three generals.
“Not too late! Not too late!” Shen Kunyang was very excited. He rushed forward to help Bai Qingyan up. Seeing that the blood on Bai Qingyan’s shoulder had dried, he tried to open his eyes wide to prevent himself from crying. He asked with a sob, “Little Bai, are you still afraid of the cold? Has your martial arts recovered? Are you seriously injured in this battle?”
Shen Kunyang watched Bai Qingyan grow up in the military camp. When Bai Qingyan first entered the military camp, she was under Shen Kunyang’s command. At that time, Bai Qingyan was a proud girl of heaven, young and arrogant. With a sun-shooting bow and a red tassel silver spear, she dared to challenge all the fierce soldiers under Shen Kunyang’s command. It was not until she defeated Shen Kunyang that she got a position as a forward.
In Shen Kunyang’s eyes, Bai Qingyan is Xiao Baishuai, and also a junior whom he watched grow up.
“Xiao Si!” She turned around and called out to Bai Jinzhi.
Bai Jinzhi responded and ran towards her.
“This is my fourth sister, my third uncle’s legitimate daughter, Bai Jinzhi!” Bai Qingyan introduced Bai Jinzhi to Shen Kunyang and the others.
Bai Jinzhi saluted the three generals with his fists clasped together: “Bai Jinzhi, greetings to the three elders!”
Shen Kunyang, Wei Zhaonian and Gu Wenchang hurriedly returned the greeting to Bai Jinzhi.
“Fourth Miss!” Shen Kunyang looked at Bai Jinzhi with red eyes, “I always heard the Marshal say that the Fourth Miss is the child who looks most like the Marshal when he was young! We have been looking forward to meeting the Fourth Miss, and today we finally got to see her!”
As Shen Kunyang spoke, his voice weakened, and he felt very uncomfortable: “I didn’t expect… to see it under such circumstances.”
Bai Jinzhiyi’s eyes were red, and he clenched his fists tightly. Grandfather… did he really think that she was the child who looked most like him when he was young? !
“Stop talking here! Let’s go back to the city first!” Gu Wenchang held back his sobs and looked up at the wounded soldiers of the Bai family army in the distance. “All the soldiers need to treat their wounds! Little Bai Shuai also needs to treat his wounds! Let’s talk about it after we treat our wounds.”
