The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 215: no disappointment
Chapter 215: No Disappointment
“If General Bai doesn’t care, why should I, the prince?” The prince’s face darkened, and he looked at the beautiful Li Tianfu with a pair of angry eyes, not buying the beauty’s account at all.
Li Tianfu was stunned, her beautiful eyes widened as she stared at the Prince of Jin. She didn’t expect that the Prince would stand up for Bai Qingyan!
She bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at Bai Qingyan unyieldingly, “Could it be that the Crown Prince of Jin is also the skirt of this killer god…”
“Princess!” Li Zhijie hurriedly spoke up to stop Li Tianfu from saying the words “servant under the skirt”. “Princess was drinking in the car just now, is she drunk?!”
The situation is different now that the Crown Prince of Jin has come forward. If Li Tianfu is allowed to continue speaking, the peace talks between the two countries will probably go wrong.
The empress has just ascended the throne and the Xiliang government is still unstable. If the war breaks out again because of Li Tianfu’s outspokenness, people in Xiliang with ulterior motives may take the opportunity to cause trouble.
“Xiliang gathered Nanyan and a million-strong army to attack our Jin State. After losing, they came to accuse you of killing your surrendered prisoners. Xiliang really… has some shame!” Bai Qingyan said calmly with a smile in his eyes, “My Jin army is 50,000, and you Xiliang Wengshan sent out more than 100,000 soldiers. If you don’t kill the Xiliang soldiers… are you waiting for the Xiliang soldiers to kill my Jin soldiers?! Or does the Xiliang princess mean… that as long as you Xiliang want to destroy a country, that country must be killed, otherwise it will be unjust and disloyal? Xiliang is probably still in a dream… thinking that he is the emperor of the world? Who gave Xiliang such a big face? Your Highness, the princess herself?”
“You!” Li Tianfu stood up, his chest heaving with anger, “How dare you be so rude!”
“The first one to be rude was Princess Xiliang herself!” Bai Qingyan’s eyes were deep and calm, “Princess of the defeated country, my Jin country will give you respect… You are the princess, if I don’t give you respect… you are nothing! Since you are here to beg for peace, you should adopt a begging attitude, don’t put on any posture in front of the winner, the weak… don’t have the qualifications! Such a simple truth, does the princess need others to teach her?”
Li Tianfu was furious. He looked around and wanted to draw his sword to chop Bai Qingyan to death, but Li Zhijie held his wrist.
Even if Li Zhijie admired Bai Qingyan’s beauty, the peace talks between the two countries involved the reputation of Xiliang. How could he be so humble as to watch his motherland being humiliated? ! The princess’s personal dignity was not worth mentioning, but the dignity of the country must not be humiliated!
Li Zhijie’s face turned pale and blue, and he could no longer smile. He looked deeply at Bai Qingyan, but he said to the Crown Prince: “Your Highness, although it was my Princess Xiliang who was rude first, your General Bai’s words are really too insulting to my Xiliang. It seems that General Bai likes killing and is unwilling to negotiate!”
The prince tightened his grip and wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but before he could open his mouth, Bai Qingyan said, “Humiliation? Is it humiliating to discuss the facts? Then, Lord Yan, please tell me, is what I, Bai Qingyan, said false? Lord Yan’s statement is exactly the same as that of your country’s general Yun Poxing. Is it the tradition of Xiliang that… stating the facts is an insult?”
Li Zhijie turned to look at the prince, smiled and said, “Prince, it seems that General Bai does not want to negotiate. What do you think?”
Bai Qingyan looked at Li Zhijie, sneered, and pressed on step by step without giving the prince a chance to speak, speaking in a steady pace: “King Yan is right, I don’t want to negotiate! Because this war… was provoked by Xiliang! You Xiliang are cowardly and timid, and gathered Nanyan to strengthen your courage, intending to divide my Great Jin as soon as possible! After being defeated… you actually put on a condescending attitude to ask for peace and truce! Where in the world is there such a shameless country, and how can such a cheap thing happen?!”
“At that time, the alliance between Xiliang and Nanyan was strong… and our Jin was weak! You Xiliang seized our Jin cities and slaughtered our Jin people! You slaughtered every city you seized… leaving no one alive! I dare to ask why Xiliang didn’t feel that it was too much to humiliate our Great Jin at that time?! Why didn’t you ask for peace and a truce at that time?!” Bai Qingyan’s sharp eyes swept across the pale-faced Xiliang peace-seeking delegation, “Because you Xiliang people know that in troubled times, the strong are respected! How come now that our Great Jin has defeated the enemy with fewer troops and has your Xiliang army in disarray… You Xiliang people are pretending not to know this? How dare you talk about face and humiliation with our Great Jin here?!”
Although Liu Rushi looked down on Bai Qingyan’s act of burning and killing surrendered prisoners, he was an envoy of Jin State and naturally had to protect Jin State’s face. He also sneered and responded to Bai Qingyan: “Xiliang pretends to be ignorant when it knows the truth, just forcing itself to save some face! But Xiliang seems to have forgotten… your own face is something that others have given to you… but you refused to accept it and insisted on taking advantage of it. If you fall and get hurt, you deserve it!”
Peace talks between two countries have always been like this, with each side using words to seek benefits for their own country, and it is not uncommon for them to fall out and fail to reach an agreement.
Originally, Li Zhijie wanted to handle the peace talks in a friendly manner, saving some face for both countries. But now Li Tianfu lost his temper and tore his face off, and the only one who was embarrassed… was Xiliang, after all, it was Xiliang who bowed their heads and asked for peace this time.
Li Zhijie saw that the Crown Prince of Jin was sitting at the top seat and had no intention of speaking, so he could only bite the bullet and say, “When two countries are at war, killing people and seizing cities is inevitable…”
“We, the King of Jin, have fought many wars with other countries. Have we ever massacred any city in any country?” Zhang Duanrui clasped his fists and raised his eyebrows to ask, “King Yan said to us… It’s inevitable. Don’t you think it’s far-fetched?”
“But General Bai of Jin State also burned and killed all the captives from Xiliang! Our General Fuguo was seriously injured, his son was beheaded by General Bai’s subordinates, and his grandson was shot through the heart by General Bai. It can be considered as…” An envoy of Xiliang who was negotiating peace originally wanted to say that he would offset it, but when he thought of the death of all the men in the Bai family, he changed his words, “It can be considered as a lesson learned.”
“Learn a lesson?!” Li Tianfu was so angry that his temples were raging. His beautiful eyes stared at his envoy. “Are you crazy or have you been kicked on the top of your head by a horse? Are you a minister of Xiliang?! If you like to speak in favor of Jin State, why don’t you go to Jin State to collect your salary! Bai Qingyan killed hundreds of thousands of surrendered prisoners from Xiliang and burned the Wengshan Gorge for half a month. If Jin State doesn’t give Xiliang an explanation for this matter! This peace talk is over! Whoever is willing to marry can go. Your Highness will not go!”
“Your Highness!” Li Zhijie saw that he could no longer control the spoiled Li Tianfu, so he grabbed Li Tianfu’s wrist tightly and said, “Don’t forget the earnest instructions given to you by the Queen Mother and His Majesty before you left!”
The empress’s throne is unstable, and Xiliang cannot afford to fight for the time being.
Seeing this, Liu Rushi put down his wine glass, straightened his back, and said solemnly: “Great! Xiliang has the courage to fight again, and we, the Jin State, will never spoil their fun!”
