Chapter 208 Bone Whistle
The heavy armored infantry of the Jin army created wind under their feet, and the yellow sand and dust flew up in the flames.
Yun Poxing held the reins tightly, and his warhorse was frightened and spinning in place. His vision was confused, and all he saw were the embarrassed and terrified Xiliang soldiers and the Jin army howling like hungry wolves.
Just as the Jin army had practiced on the other side of the river today, they advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and strangled his Xiliang soldiers with a combination of formations and melee, leaving them no chance to breathe.
It’s over! It’s all over!
If the Xiliang army he brought with the whole country’s strength this time all died in his hands, he would never be forgiven!
The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating Yun Poxing’s pale face. He had no time to consider whether there were ambushes in the mountains. He drew his sword and shouted at the top of his lungs, “Retreat! Retreat immediately!”
Through the firelight, Yun Poxing saw Bai Qingyan standing steadily on horseback outside the Xiliang military camp. When their eyes met, the sharp and restrained murderous aura on the woman was heavy and murderous.
Yun Poxing gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling, and shouted heartbreakingly: “Bai Qingyan! You promised me three years! Why are you sending troops now!”
However, the only answer Yun Poxing got was… the loud sound of a horn tearing through the clouds.
A general who was protecting Yun Poxing saw an arrow flying in his direction, so he quickly rode his horse and rushed over… He blocked the arrow for Yun Poxing, but he and his horse fell down. The general was in a mess, and he looked in Yun Poxing’s direction and shouted, “Commander-in-chief! Retreat quickly!”
As soon as the formation arranged by Bai Qingyan came into play, those who were good at fighting… knew that the Xiliang army was defeated without any chance of recovery!
Yun Poxing glanced at his subordinates, his eyes were bloodshot, and he no longer cared about anything else. He waved his whip and rushed out of the Xiliang military camp.
On February 14, the sixteenth year of Xuanjia, the elite soldiers of the Great Jin crossed the Jing River and attacked the Western Liang army camp at night, and then intercepted and killed the Western Liang army that was about to attack the Great Jin army camp at night at the Linggu key road.
This battle was the last one in the southern Xinjiang battlefield and ended with a disastrous defeat for the coalition forces of Southern Yan and Western Liang.
That night, there were actually less than 5,000 people in the Jin army camp north of the Jing River. The Xiliang army camp south of the Jing River was on fire, and all the fierce soldiers of Xiliang were killed!
The 10,000 Jin troops led by General Cheng Yuanzhi and Zhang Duanrui at the Linggu Pass were well prepared and almost wiped out the Xiliang troops, with their wails shaking the sky.

It was already the early morning of February 16th when Xiao Rongyan’s guards, who had been riding non-stop day and night, finally caught up with Xiao Rongyan and his group.
He jumped off his horse and rushed into the large house with a magnificent front gate.
Xiao Rongyan was practicing sword skills by the lake, and wherever his sword energy reached, bamboo leaves fell.
Wang Jiuzhou, who was standing by with tea and a handkerchief, saw the guards running over and said to Xiao Rongyan with a smile, “Master, Yue Shi is back.”
Xiao Rongyan retracted his sword, his body already covered with a thin layer of sweat. He threw the sword in his hand to Wang Jiuzhou, took a handkerchief to wipe his face, turned around and looked at Yue Shi who had already run up to him.
“Master, the letter has been delivered! After reading it, the eldest daughter of the Bai family asked me to tell you that Bai Qingyan would like to express his gratitude here.” Yue Shi relayed.
Xiao Rongyan put the handkerchief back into the black lacquer tray in Wang Jiuzhou’s hand, picked up the teacup and asked, “Nothing else?”
Yue Shi shook his head, and suddenly thought of the white horse, so he said, “Ms. Bai didn’t say anything else, but… this time when I went there, I found that Miss Bai had given the white horse to the fourth Miss Bai. When I went there, I happened to see the fourth Miss riding back on horseback. It seemed that she had said that the fourth Miss had let the horse recognize its master!”
Xiao Rongyan paused while drinking tea, and after a while he looked up at Yue Shi: “Got it!”
Xiao Rongyan couldn’t help but think of his royal brother. From childhood to adulthood… any good things were left to him by his royal brother.
Forget it, I’ll find another precious horse for her later!
“Let the people sent out to spread the word finish their work today, and we will set off again early tomorrow morning…” Xiao Rongyan said.
“Yes!” Wang Jiuzhou responded respectfully.
Just as noon arrived, Bai Qingjue, who had been guarding Xiao Rongyan, took off the sword from his waist and was about to have lunch when he suddenly heard the sound of a bone whistle, which was an order exclusively given by the Bai family army.
Bai Qingjue tightened his grip on the sword, hung the sword back on his waist, avoided people and followed the sound to climb over the courtyard wall from a hidden place.
Xiao Ruojiang was waiting under the willow tree behind the house. When he saw someone climbing over the wall, he immediately hid behind the willow tree. Before he could stick his head out to see who the person was, he felt a chill coming over him. Before Xiao Ruojiang could even draw his sword… a ray of cold light had already hit his neck.
What a fast sword!
Bai Qingjue studied under Gu Yijian, but he was even better than his teacher…
“Don’t move!” Bai Qingjue looked at Xiao Ruojiang’s back and said in a deep voice.
“Seventh Young Master…it’s me!” Xiao Ruojiang’s throat was churning.
After hearing Xiao Ruojiang’s voice, Bai Qingjue put away his sword, quite surprised: “You… why are you here?!”
Xiao Ruojiang and Xiao Ruohai are the eldest sister’s foster brothers. They also once served in the Bai family army. Later, no one knew what happened… The eldest uncle asked the brothers Xiao Ruojiang and Xiao Ruohai to go back and recuperate. After that, the two of them never reported to the Bai family army again.
Xiao Ruojiang turned around and saw Bai Qingjue, who was dressed in a straight robe and stood as tall as a pine tree. His eyes suddenly turned red. He lifted his clothes and knelt down: “Seventh Young Master…”
Bai Qingjue put away his sword and helped Xiao Ruojiang up: “Why are you here?!”
“It was the eldest lady who asked me to come find the Seventh Young Master!” Xiao Ruojiang’s throat rolled and choked with sobs. “The eldest lady followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the southern border this time to find you and the Ninth Young Master. The Mr. Xiao who saved you once helped our Bai family in the capital. When the Fourth Madam heard the bamboo slips recording the tragic death of the Seventeenth Young Master… she almost bumped into her coffin. It was the guards of this Mr. Xiao who saved the Fourth Madam.”
Bai Qingjue opened his lips slightly. He didn’t expect… that Mr. Xiao not only saved him, but also saved his mother.
“Mr. Xiao guessed your identity, so he asked the guard to send a letter to the eldest lady. The eldest lady was afraid that the Seventh Young Master would be alone, so she asked me to bring the Dong family’s assassins to pick him up!” Xiao Ruojiang said as he took out a jade pendant from his chest and handed it to Bai Qingjue, “The eldest lady asked me to give this to you. This is a jade pendant that can mobilize the Dong family’s assassins!”
Bai Qingjue took the jade pendant and held it tightly in his hand, raised his eyes and asked: “Why is it the Dong family’s assassin?!”
Xiao Ruojiang told Bai Qingjue all about Bai Qingyan’s arrangements with Bai Jinxiu and Bai Jintong, as well as the personnel transfers, including the hardships Bai Qingyan had endured along the way and how difficult it was to protect the Bai family in the turbulent city of Dadu.
The more Bai Qingjue listened, the redder his eyes became. He tightly grasped the jade pendant in his hand and asked again, “Besides Xiao Si, who else is there with the eldest sister? Xiao Ruohai?!”
Xiao Ruojiang shook his head: “My brother went to chase Miss Shen Qingzhu and went to find you and Jiu Shao.”
Bai Qingjue gritted his teeth and said, “Eldest Sister cannot be without someone by her side! I am not in any danger with Mr. Xiao. Leave two people for me so that my elder sister can rest assured. You can take the others back. It is important to keep my elder sister safe!”
