The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 195: Confidence
Chapter 195 Confidence
Xiao Ruojiang’s voice was trembling with excitement as he spoke: “However, my brother asked me to inform the young lady. He did not have time to report to the young lady, so he took people to leave the camp without permission to chase that person, saying that he wanted to help Miss Shen and find the Seventh and Ninth Young Masters as soon as possible!”
Bai Qingyan was overjoyed for once because he had received the news that his two younger brothers had escaped. He clenched his fists and nodded, “I understand. If my brother sends someone back to deliver the message, you can just bring the person to me quietly!”
“It’s save for me!” Xiao Ruojiang nodded.
This time, it was really sudden. Xiao Ruojiang was overwhelmed by the news and did not have time to arrest the person. It was his brother Xiao Ruohai who reacted first after hearing about it. He made an excuse to go around to explore the layout of the Xiliang military camp, and then took the Dong family’s death squad who had been secretly following Bai Qingyan to chase after him.
She turned around and told Bai Jinzhi: “Just keep this to yourself, don’t let anyone else know… Otherwise, if the Crown Prince hears about it and then spreads it back to Dadu, my grandmother is now in the Royal Qing Temple… I’m afraid the Bai family will be in trouble!”
How could Bai Jinzhi not know the seriousness of the matter? The emperor’s hostility towards the Bai family was already very obvious at the palace banquet.
“Don’t worry, elder sister! I will keep my composure until this matter is settled. I won’t tell anyone even if it’s all to myself!” Bai Jinzhi was excited. He finally understood that his elder sister came to Southern Xinjiang not only to manage the Bai family’s influence in the army, but also to pick up his seventh and ninth brothers!
Although Bai Jinzhi said to keep calm, she couldn’t help but ask Bai Qingyan with red eyes: “Eldest sister, am I dreaming? Is it really possible that the seventh brother and the ninth brother are still alive?!”
After all, Bai Jinzhi was still a child, with tears welling up in her eyes. The fact that she could hold back her tears already made her look at her with admiration!
She nodded, squeezed Bai Jinzhi’s little hand, and said quietly: “There is no one else here in Jinghe, so cry if you want to, and if anyone asks you, just say you miss your grandfather and father!”
As soon as Bai Qingyan finished speaking, Bai Jinzhi’s tears began to fall. It was great… Seventh Brother and Ninth Brother were still alive. If Fourth Aunt knew that Seventh Brother was still alive, she would definitely not be like a walking corpse, seeking death. She would definitely live a good life for Seventh Brother to live a long life!
After crying for a while beside the Jing River, Bai Jinzhi and Bai Qingyan just returned to the military camp and received news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would arrive in half an hour.
Bai Qingyan did not expect the prince to arrive so quickly, and at the same time as Qin Shangzhi’s letter.
In order to show her gratitude to the prince, she ordered people to take out a peerless sword seized when Tianmen Pass was captured, and prepare to present it to the prince to show her loyalty.
Bai Qingyan sat in the commander’s tent, looking at the sword that was so cold that it could cut hair with a blow, and thought of her younger brother Ayu. Ayu was the best swordsman and there was no one in the whole capital city who could match him.
She remembered the first time she went to war, Ayu, who was not even as tall as her chest, pulled her reins, tilted her neck and grinned with her missing teeth, revealing her pink gums and smiling at her, saying, “Sister, if you can capture the enemy’s sword when you go to war, remember to keep it for Ayu!”
At that time, she accepted Ayu’s sword, but she never found a sword that was worthy of Ayu. Now she found it… but Ayu is gone.
She failed to fulfill her promise to Ayu… to give him a sword, but Ayu also failed to fulfill his promise and owed her the most beautiful pigeon blood stone in southern Xinjiang!
Her heart was filled with grief and her eyes turned red as she held the sword.
When she heard Xiao Ruojiang come to report that the prince’s carriage was about to arrive at the camp gate, she sheathed her sword, closed her eyes and calmed herself.
Later, I have to put on a good show in front of the prince!
Since I am so grateful to the prince in my heart, I have to go to greet him from afar when I know he is coming!
Placing the sword on the most conspicuous rack in the general’s tent, she led her men on fast horses and galloped towards the direction of the prince’s carriage.
Quan Yu was sitting in the carriage. Seeing the heroic Bai Qingyan leading a team of armored soldiers to greet them, he could not help but turn his head and said to the Crown Prince in the carriage: “Your Highness, General Bai has brought people to pick you up! It shows that he cares about Your Highness!”
Although Quan Yu served the prince when he was still the King of Qi, the young men and women of noble families always looked down on eunuchs! Those who tried every means to curry favor with the King of Qi spoke sweet words and called him “Master”, but who didn’t call him a eunuch behind his back?
The legitimate daughter of the Duke’s Mansion, who came from a similar family background as Bai Qingyan, looked at him as if she were not looking at a thing but at a person, with a look of respect rather than flattery, which deeply touched Quan Yu’s heart. He always felt that only under Bai Qingyan’s gaze did he feel like a normal person.
Especially later, when Bai Qingyan fought for his country in armor and defeated the coalition forces of Xiliang and Nanyan, Quanyu admired him very much. Thinking of the generations of loyal and brave men of the Bai family in the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, he was still full of passion even though he was humble. Therefore, it was the first time that Quanyu was willing to speak well of Bai Qingyan in front of the prince without receiving money.
The prince closed his eyes and leaned against the round pillow in the carriage. He was still a little unwilling to give up his military achievements, but when he heard Quan Yu say this… he felt a little relieved.
Soon the sound of horse hooves approached, and when he heard the sound of horses being reined in, the prince knew that Bai Qingyan had dismounted.
“I don’t know if I failed to welcome you, Prince!” Bai Qingyan was respectful and spoke beautifully without being flattering, neither humble nor arrogant.
“General Bai!” Quan Yu smiled and saluted Bai Qingyan, “I haven’t congratulated General Bai on his successive victories yet!”
“Thank you…” Bai Qingyan nodded slightly, without any condescending attitude or any intention to look down on Quan Yu.
Quan Yu just felt in a good mood, and the smile in his eyes became even deeper.
The prince raised his hand to open the carriage curtain, looked at Bai Qingyan standing outside the carriage, and said with a smile: “I just came to take a look. It’s not a big deal. Why should I ask Miss Bai to come to greet me? But… it’s good that Miss Bai is here. Please accompany me for a walk along the Jing River.”
If one wants to conquer a person and use him for his own purposes, he must first show favor to that person and let that person know how good he is, and let her know that her situation is precarious and that she can only survive by relying on him, the prince!
The prince smiled and helped Quan Yu get off the carriage. His eyes swept over the group of people brought by Bai Qingyan… and Bai Jinzhi who took over the reins from Bai Qingyan, and finally fell on Bai Qingyan who was dressed in military uniform and had a stern look.
Perhaps it was because of Bai Qingyan’s military uniform that the prince inexplicably thought of King Bai Weiting of Zhenguo and Duke Bai Qishan of Zhenguo. It was funny to say that although he was a prince, he had been very afraid of the murderous aura of these two people since he was a child. When facing Bai Qingyan at this moment, he unconsciously lost some of his confidence.
Bai Qingyan followed the prince half a step behind him and walked with him along the Jing River.
At the end of the month, I’m asking for monthly tickets…
