The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

The guard sighed inwardly and nodded: “I will send someone to send the horses to Miss Bai right away. Does the master have any message for Miss Bai?”
A message?!
Xiao Rongyan looked at the white horse in front of him whose eyes looked like they had been washed by rain, thought for a moment and said, “Just tell her to thank her for taking care of you along the way!”
From the time Qu Feng traveled with the Jin army until he separated from the Jin army, Bai Qingyan never told the prince about his identity. Doesn’t this count as taking care of him along the way?
Although, even if Bai Qingyan really revealed his identity to the prince, he would have a way to deal with it, but Bai Qingyan never did so.
“Besides this, is there anything else you want to say… to the fourth young lady of the Bai family?” The guard cautiously tested his master.
Xiao Rongyan looked back at his guard who had a meaningful look on his face, and raised his eyebrows: “Then please ask the fourth lady to take good care of Miss Bai.”
Guard: “…”
Did their master’s words go in the wrong direction? !
Xiao Rongyan looked back at the snow-white horse, thought for a moment and said, “Forget it, let someone help me take a letter to the eldest daughter of the Bai family…”
·
The Xiliang army was defeated. Yun Poxing first lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers overnight, and then his son and grandson died. He was so angry that he vomited blood and has not woken up yet!
The Xiliang Army did not even dare to stop in Fengcheng, and bypassed Fengcheng and retreated to the Luofeng Gorge Road. Just as they were about to set up camp… they saw the Bai Family Army’s black sails and white python flags approaching, and immediately retreated to the border between the two countries.
The Southern Yan army, which had been slowly retreating towards Yaoguan, heard that the Western Liang army had fled to the border between Western Liang and Jin. The Southern Yan commander Zhang Tiansheng instead ordered the Southern Yan army to station at Fengming Mountain, not far from Yaoguan.
Zhang Tiansheng always felt that after expending such a large country’s strength on an expedition, he couldn’t return in vain. He wanted to wait and see… When the Jin army went to chase the Xiliang army, he would take the opportunity to seize Fengcheng, and at least ask the Jin country for some benefits, so that the Jin country would compensate them for their expedition expenses!
Unexpectedly, just as night fell, news came from Yaoguan that the food and supplies that Zhang Tiansheng’s son had escorted for the Southern Yan army to survive the winter were robbed by the Bai family’s army in Yaoguan!
Zhang Tiansheng’s face turned pale in an instant, he gritted his teeth, feeling fear in his heart… and also resentful of the Bai family army that could not be killed.
“Commander, this is not a solution! Our Southern Yan army has no food and supplies for the winter. If we continue to waste time in Jin, sooner or later we will end up like the Western Liang army, with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers buried in the sea of fire!” Deputy Commander Zhang Tiansheng was still frightened when he mentioned the Battle of Wengshan Gorge. “I heard that the prince of Jin led the troops this time, and the one who gave the strategy was Bai Weiting’s eldest granddaughter, the same Bai Qingyan who once… chopped off the head of Shu’s fierce general Pang Pingguo! Although Bai Qingyan is a woman, she is ruthless and cruel. She is completely different from Bai Weiting in leading the troops. She is simply a killing god. Don’t mess with her!”
Zhang Tiansheng stroked his beard and thought for a long time while sitting in the general’s tent. Finally, he was afraid of the fire in Wengshan Valley that had not yet been extinguished. He nodded and said, “I will write a memorial, and you send someone to send it back to the capital by express horse. Let His Majesty decide whether to withdraw the troops!”
Deputy General Zhang Tiansheng thought about it and nodded: “Okay!”
However, before Zhang Tiansheng could send out this memorial, a sentry suddenly came to report that the Bai family army, holding high the black sail and white python flag, was setting out from Fengcheng and heading for Fengming Mountain.
Zhang Tiansheng stood up in shock and paced back and forth in the tent several times, thinking about whether to fight or flee…
But when he thought of the war, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine as he thought of the fire in Wengshan Canyon, which had not been extinguished to this day. The deputy general was also terrified and carefully advised Zhang Tiansheng from the side.
“It only takes four or five hours to get from Fengcheng to Fengming Mountain. Commander… make a decision quickly! If you want to fight to the death, immediately gather the generals to prepare to meet the enemy! If you want to return to Nanyan, you must break camp immediately!” said the deputy general, clasping his fists.
Fight to the death?!
Zhang Tiansheng closed his eyes and thought of the hundred men from the Bai family army who first rushed into the Tiger Eagle Camp in Feng County. They were so brave that they could fight one against a hundred!
When their army was going to the battle, His Majesty had told Zhang Tiansheng…they were going to join Xiliang this time just to boost Xiliang’s morale, and they had no intention of wasting their own manpower. At most, they wanted to let these soldiers come to the battlefield to gain some experience and observation.
Now that Xiliang has been defeated and retreated to the boundary between the two countries, are they, the Southern Yan, who are cheering for them, still going to stay here and get beaten up by the Bai family army? !
Soon, Zhang Tiansheng made up his mind and said, “As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Order the army to break camp and rush straight to Yaoguan. We must arrive at Yaoguan before dark!”
Once they reached Yaoguan, they would reach the border between Southern Yan and Great Jin, so they would no longer be afraid of the Bai family army.
After killing all the descendants of Bai Weiting, all the other countries were optimistic about the powerful Western Liang and Southern Yan coalition. However, who would have thought that after the crown prince of Jin led 50,000 troops to rescue southern Xinjiang, the armies of the two countries, which were said to have a million soldiers, were defeated and fled.
This also made the attention of all the countries suddenly focus on the new prince of Jin. Although Jin won a great victory in the Battle of Wengshan, the burning and killing of surrendered prisoners and the destruction of the Wengshan Gorge had already aroused the dissatisfaction of all the countries towards Jin. They felt that the new prince of Jin was too cruel and not a benevolent monarch. If he inherited Jin in the future, he would definitely bring disaster to all the countries.
The Emperor of Daliang, who had been on friendly terms with the State of Jin in recent years, wrote a letter to the Emperor of Jin, in which he raised the concerns of various countries in a very tactful way in the name of a friend and suggested that the Emperor of Jin punish the prince to reassure the people of various countries.
After reading the letter, the Emperor of Dajin was silent for a long time, and then asked someone to deliver the letter from the Emperor of Daliang to the prince intact over a distance of 800 miles.
After the letter reached the prince, he fell into his chair after reading it and hurriedly called for his three advisers.
Qin Shangzhi, Fang Lao and another counselor who always remained silent, Ren Shijie, circulated the letter.
“What should I do now? Burning and killing surrendered prisoners… I’m afraid my reputation for cruelty has spread throughout the nations!” The prince’s face turned pale, his fingers clenched tightly on the armrests of the chair, and he deeply regretted handing the military command to Bai Qingyan, allowing her to dispatch the Jin army at will.
In the past few days, he sat in the city wall, and every time he heard the news about the battle in the front, it was not Bai Qingyan’s request for instructions, but Bai Qingyan’s execution first and report later!
For example, he burned and killed the surrendered prisoners, transferred the Pingyang City garrison to Tianmen Pass, Feng County and Fengcheng, and led the Jin Army and the Bai Family Army to the border of Xiliang. All of this was beyond his control, and he was even a little uneasy, not knowing whether he was here to lead the army to fight as the commander-in-chief or just a decoration.
“The one who burned and killed the surrendered prisoners was Bai Qingyan, the eldest granddaughter of King Bai Weiting of Zhenguo, not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince can write a memorial to His Majesty based on the facts and request His Majesty to order the beheading of Bai Qingyan in order to clear the Crown Prince!” said Old Fang.
Xiao Rongyan: There are always people who are jealous of my wife’s talents and want to kill her!
