The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 207: In the middle
Chapter 207: Falling into a Trap
Bai Qingyan looked towards the direction of the Xiliang military camp on the opposite bank. When Xiao Ruojiang came back, he would ask his brother to go to Mengcheng to look for Ajue. Ajue was smart and would definitely leave a mark, so Xiao Ruojiang would just look for her according to the mark.
Xiao Rongyan’s guard mounted his horse and was about to leave when he happened to meet Bai Jinzhi who had just returned from training the horse.
Seeing Bai Qingyan at the entrance of the camp, Bai Jinzhi smiled and waved to Bai Qingyan happily: “Elder sister! Elder sister… I let Ping An recognize the master!”
Xiao Rongyan’s guard was startled, and passed by Bai Jinzhi…
Isn’t that the BMW that their master gave to Miss Bai? Could it be that…the last time their master wrote to Miss Bai, he mentioned his feelings for the fourth Miss Bai, so Miss Bai gave the horse to the fourth Miss? !
Bai Qingyan looked at the cheerful Bai Jin and smiled, his features gentle and peaceful, without any murderous intent.
As for the fact that Ajue is still alive, let’s wait until we win the great battle in Southern Xinjiang before telling Xiaosi!

Xiao Ruojiang carried the head wrapped in a brocade box and went to the Xiliang military camp with a team of guards.
He was thinking in the general’s tent about how to surprise attack the Jin army camp tonight, when suddenly a report came from outside the tent that Bai Qingyan had sent someone to see Yun Poxing and give him a gift.
Yun Poxing thought about it and brought the person in.
When he saw that the person coming was the man beside Bai Qingyan who had chopped off his son’s head, Yun Poxing gritted his teeth and restrained his murderous intent.
The Xiliang generals in Yun Poxing’s tent all looked angry, and the atmosphere was tense, as if they would tear Xiao Ruojiang to pieces as long as Yun Poxing gave the order.
Xiao Ruojiang had a calm expression. He took the box from the Jin soldier behind him and handed it to Yun Poxing respectfully. “My Xiao Baishuai said that since there was a riot in Xiliang and Yunshuai was going to withdraw his troops back to quell the riot, she would give Yunshuai a gift before he leaves, so as to prevent… Yunshuai from falling into the trap and robbing our Jin army camp.”
Yun Poxing tightened his hands on the table and stared at the mahogany box. Knowing that his son’s head was in the box, his eyes were bloodshot… Full of resentment, he stared at the calm Xiao Ruojiang, guessing that Xiao Ruojiang was here to test him on behalf of Bai Qingyan.
He slowly loosened his tightly clenched hands and said through gritted teeth: “Thank your Xiao Baishuai for me and tell her… don’t forget the three-year agreement! After three years… I will definitely come back to take her head!”
Xiao Ruojiang narrowed his eyes and pretended to examine Yun Poxing. However, the general in Yun Poxing’s tent drew his sword, his eyes bloodshot: “Why don’t you get out of here, Jin dog?!”
Xiao Ruojiang then withdrew his gaze and left with the Jin soldiers.
Yun Poxing asked with a hoarse voice to bring his son’s head to him. He didn’t have the courage to open the box. He raised his hand with tears in his eyes and pressed hard on the brocade box. He raised his eyes with murderous intent and his whole body was shaking with anger. He said, “Tonight, whoever can take Bai Qingyan’s head will be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins!”
The Xiliang warrior knelt on one knee, gritted his teeth and said, “Master, don’t worry! We will definitely avenge the young master and the young master!”
After the Xiliang army had a hearty meal, before the sun set, several generals led half of the troops to retreat.
Not long after, a sentry from Xiliang came to report that the main force of the Jin army had also begun to retreat towards Fengcheng.
Yun Poxing’s eyes were filled with hatred as if there was a raging fire burning in them. His bright and burning gaze was fixed on the Jin army camp on the other side of the river. “Compared with her grandfather, Bai Weiting’s granddaughter is still less cautious! She actually thought that a drill or a defeat would scare me to death?! She thought that she could find someone to test whether I was really retreating or not, and she let the Jin army retreat so confidently…”
At night, with the sound of rushing water as cover, General Wei Zhaonian and General Shi Panshan led their troops to quietly surround the Xiliang camp from the left and right sides, awaiting orders.
The Jin army camp on the opposite bank was brightly lit. Yun Poxing sat in the general’s tent, waiting for any movement on the other side of the river.
“Report…” The Xiliang soldier knelt outside the commander’s tent and said to Yun Poxing, “A small group of Jin soldiers on the other side of the river left the camp and headed west. I don’t know why!”
Hearing this, Yun Poxing’s right eye twitched for some reason: “Go check! See what they are doing!”
“Report…” Another Xiliang soldier knelt outside the commander’s tent, “A small group of Jin troops on the other side of the river left the camp and headed west. I don’t know why!”
Yun Poxing was silent for a while, and he felt his eyes twitching even more violently: “Go check it out!”
Within just a few incense sticks, several spies came to report… Several waves of small groups of more than 30 people came out of the Jin military camp.
Yun Poxing felt uneasy. The fear of Bai Qingyan quietly climbed up his calves from the soles of his feet. A chill quickly ran up his spine. He gritted his teeth and asked, “Has the spy who went to investigate the Jin army’s departure from the camp come back?!”
“Return to the coach! Not yet!”
Yun Poxing was suddenly frightened, but before he could figure out why he was frightened…a red light appeared outside the general’s tent and rushed straight towards the Xiliang military camp.
The sentry saw the sky to the right of the Xiliang camp suddenly light up in the darkness, and before he could react… the first flaming arrow pierced into the wooden pillar of the sentry’s platform with a muffled sound, and the tail trembled, and the faint blue flames spread downwards…
It was a rain of flaming arrows! It was kerosene!
“Oh no! The enemy is attacking! There’s fire on the arrows!”
Just as the sentry finished his words, a sharp arrow pierced his clothes and caught fire. He screamed, slapped the flames on his body, and fell off the platform.
Yun Poxing was sitting in the tent when he heard countless arrows falling from the sky outside, rushing towards him densely and rapidly, piercing through the tents of all sizes in the Xiliang military camp.
Fell into a trap!
Yun Poxing’s whole body felt numb, and his throat felt like it was being strangled by a big hand, so he couldn’t make any sound.
An arrow pierced through Yun Poxing’s tent. A tiny flame, almost invisible to the naked eye, licked the hole in the hole pierced by the arrow and gradually made it bigger.
“Commander! The enemy is attacking with fire! They have a lot of troops! They are coming in a fierce force. Let’s protect you and retreat first!” Several generals rushed into the marshal’s tent and said.
Yun Poxing came back to his senses and shouted, “Don’t fight any longer, retreat to the Chuanling Mountains immediately! Quick!”
“yes!”
Yun Poxing was helped out of the tent by the guards, where he used his shield to block the rain of arrows and mounted his horse… He rode his horse towards the red area in the distance where people were holding torches, and then looked at the Jin army rushing in from outside the military camp, and was horrified.
No! The Jin army’s strength is wrong!
The Jin army’s strength seems to be only 20,000 at most! So where did the people who withdrew from the Jin army camp today go? !
Yun Poxing’s throat was churning, and he felt at a loss. He thought of the troops that had withdrawn from the Jin army camp this evening. He wondered if they were waiting for him in the Chuanling Mountains at this moment? !
After the first round of fire attack, blazes rose to the sky all over the Xiliang camp. However, the Jin army, which was wading across the river, remained calm. They held high the black sails and white python flags, with flags fluttering, and rushed into the Xiliang camp in order. The sound of killing shook the world.
My dear ancestors, I will update this chapter for now. There will be two more chapters before noon tomorrow. I went out to celebrate my birthday today and didn’t bring my computer, so I don’t have time to update the other two chapters…
