The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 198: Safety
Chapter 198 Peace
Guard Xiao Rongyan looked at Bai Qingyan with an increasingly serious look, and even dismounted from his horse and saluted Bai Qingyan in a serious manner before saying, “Thank you, Miss Bai. I will definitely deliver your message to you on my fastest horse!”
Bai Qingyan nodded. Everyone around Xiao Rongyan was very insightful.
But in his previous life, Xiao Rongyan was ruthless and never used such gentle and peaceful methods.
She had fought with Xiao Rongyan several times and knew that no matter how gentle and kind Xiao Rongyan appeared on the surface, deep down he was always… Those who obeyed him would prosper, while those who defied him would perish. No matter if it was coercion, inducement or threat, he would even uproot the entire clan of those who stood in his way. He was extremely cunning, cruel, bold but careful.
Such a smart, wise and conceited person is actually the most reckless. He despises the world, is not afraid of gods, is not afraid of the justice of heaven and earth, is not afraid of etiquette and morality, is not afraid of what people say, and does not care about anything except the goals he hopes to achieve.
He fought and killed people all the way, using conspiracy and trickery to kill all the nobles or loyal ministers of the enemy country. Although it was all for the purpose of unifying the world and bringing peace to the people, his later methods were too unscrupulous. Everything in the world seemed to be not worth mentioning in his eyes. How many people would die in the siege… and how many people would suffer, and he would take away all the people’s food for food and fodder.
Now when Bai Qingyan thinks of those things that happened in the past, he feels a chill down his spine.
Therefore, Bai Qingyan was afraid of Xiao Rongyan in her heart. Even though the current Xiao Rongyan had not yet grown into the Xiao Rongyan of his previous life, the shadow he left on her in the previous life was still there.
As the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. Behind Bai Qingyan is the widow of the Bai family… She is the one wearing shoes! The mountains and rivers of Dayan were broken, and Xiao Rongyan was the barefoot one.
When she reminded Xiao Rongyan today, wasn’t it out of hope… to take advantage of the fact that Xiao Rongyan still had a little kindness and compassion in his heart, and when Dayan was short of military strength, to let him reduce Dayan’s losses in this way, and also let him understand the value of the people’s will!
I hope that when he does things in the future… he can remember that when he took over Southern Yan, the people supported him and helped him, and he will be kind to the people.
“Go!” she said to Xiao Rongyan’s guards.
Xiao Rongyan’s guard jumped onto his horse, bowed in the direction of Bai Qingyan, and rode away at full speed with his heart pounding. He had to rush back to his master day and night to convey Miss Bai’s words.
Seeing Xiao Rongyan’s guards on horseback disappearing into the darkness, Bai Qingyan said, “Brother, take the horses and let’s go back!”
Xiao Ruojiang reached out to pull the reins of the white horse, but the horse turned its head and shook him off. If Xiao Ruojiang had not had his martial arts skills, he would have fallen into the river.
“It’s really a fierce horse!” Xiao Ruojiang was not angry at all. Instead, he looked very happy. “I remember when the prince first brought Ji Feng back, Ji Feng was like this too!”
Xiao Ruojiang couldn’t help but laugh.
Ji Feng was indeed a fierce horse. Her father took a lot of effort to bring Ji Feng back to Dadu. She was young at that time… Her father originally wanted to ask a horse trainer to train the horse for her and then send it to her. However, six experienced horse trainers failed. Two of them were injured by Ji Feng and almost lost their lives.
After hearing this, Bai Qingyan secretly went to the horse farm without telling her father. She spent a whole day taming Ji Feng. When she came back, she looked like a mud monkey and had bruises all over her body. She didn’t care. She waved the whip in her hand and told Bai Qishan happily that she had tamed the wild horse that six horse trainers had failed to tame. She also named the horse Ji Feng.
“Let me do it!” Bai Qingyan dismounted and walked to the white horse.
Xiao Ruojiang held the reins in his hand. The white horse was unable to break free, and its hooves made a loud noise on the pebbles on the river bank, while its nostrils emitted a very thick white mist.
She raised her hand and touched the white horse’s mane. The horse neighed in resistance and raised its front hooves but could not break free from the reins.
“Wow! It’s so fierce!” Xiao Ruojiang pulled the reins hard.
Bai Qingyan became interested and jumped onto the horse holding the saddle. The white horse resisted even harder and struggled violently, almost throwing Bai Qingyan off.
“Brother! Reins!”
Seeing that Bai Qingyan hadn’t been so excited for a long time, Xiao Ruojiang thought it wouldn’t matter if he stood by and watched over him, so he threw the reins to Bai Qingyan and stood by with the torch held high.
Perhaps because she had experience in taming the gale, she held the reins tightly with both hands, and her body swayed back and forth as the white horse jumped, as if she was easily stuck to the horse and the horse could not get rid of it.
The white horse jumped and struggled for nearly half an hour, and was exhausted and could not jump anymore. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Qingyan pulled the reins in his hands and pulled them hard. The white horse let out a long whine in pain and started jumping again.
An hour later, the stubborn white horse finally surrendered in Bai Qingyan’s hands. Bai Qingyan lightly shook the reins, and the white horse walked forward a few steps dejectedly.
Xiao Ruojiang was amazed at what he saw. It was also because Bai Qingyan was good at horse riding… If it were someone else, they would have been thrown off the horse long ago.
When Bai Qingyan jumped off the horse, he was already sweating from exhaustion. The horse walked a few steps towards Bai Qingyan dejectedly, then turned its head away in dissatisfaction.
She smiled and stroked the white horse’s mane and said, “From now on… let’s name this horse Ping An and give it to Xiao Si. Xiao Si will definitely like it!”
There is nothing better in this world than peace and security.
The light in Xiao Ruojiang’s eyes that had lit up just now because of Bai Qingyan’s excitement dimmed slightly again. He remembered that when he was a child, he and his brother went to the Duke’s Mansion to see the newborn Bai Qingyan, who was so small but so beautiful. His mother told him and his brother to take good care of the girl throughout their lives. The girl was not only their foster sister, but also the apple of their benefactor’s eye.
Xiao Ruojiang and Xiao Ruohai both thought that a girl like this, who was born in the most prestigious Duke of Zhenguo Mansion in the capital city… must be a favored daughter of heaven, who should be pampered and loved like a jewel.
But Bai Qingyan didn’t have that. As the eldest daughter of the Bai family, she could endure more hardships than any other girl or boy in the family. After being injured on the battlefield, she became depressed and lost the vigor and vitality of her youth.
After the Bai family encountered a disaster, she shouldered the responsibility of the Bai family and made plans for her sisters…
Although it was so dangerous to come to Southern Xinjiang, the eldest girl gave the extremely skilled secret guards to the third girl and the second girl in the capital, but did not keep any for herself!
This time, although they got such a good horse, the eldest girl wanted to give it to the fourth girl.
Perhaps this is the responsibility and obligation of being the eldest daughter. She always has to think about her younger sister all the time, just like when the Crown Prince Bai Qishan was still alive, he always thought about his younger brothers in the Duke’s Mansion.
