The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 217: buried
Chapter 217 Buried
“You…” Li Tianfu glared at Bai Qingyan, so angry that he almost couldn’t hold back his tears.
Bai Qingyan said coldly, “All the sons of my Bai family were buried in the southern border, and the Bai family has 23 more coffins! If Xiliang cannot compensate my Jin country with 23 cities today! Cannot hand over the 23 males from the three clans of Xiliang’s auxiliary general Yun Poxing for me to behead and disembowel! I, Bai Qingyan, will disobey the orders of the crown prince and His Majesty! I will lead the Bai family army to attack Yunjing, and let the Xiliang royal family and the nine clans of the Yun family be buried with them! To comfort the heroic spirits of my Bai family sons! By then, please wash your necks in Yunjing and don’t dirty the precious swords of my Bai family soldiers!”
Bai Qingyan’s words were extremely arrogant, his armor glowed with a cold light, and the murderous aura of the fight in the Shura blood pool made people feel cold in their spines, and they dared not look at it.
“What’s wrong with the 23 coffins of your Bai family? Didn’t my father… the emperor of Xiliang die at the hands of your Jin assassins?! What can you Jin give to compensate our emperor of Xiliang!” Li Tianfu shouted at the top of his lungs, full of grief and indignation, full of humiliation and grievance, “What can you give to compensate my father!”
Bai Qingyan felt relieved, but Princess Xiliang couldn’t help but say it out!
She had been pressing him step by step before, but Li Zhijie refused to reveal the truth about Xiaojiu’s assassination attempt to help Xiliang turn the tables, and she had always felt uneasy.
Now that Li Tianfu has taken the lead, it depends on how Li Zhijie will talk about the assassination.
If he said that the assassin was dead, then Shen Qingzhu and others would need to rescue Xiaojiu immediately, without delay.
If he said that the assassin was caught, then… how to get the person back is the business of the prince and the peace envoys.
Li Zhijie closed his eyes, not expecting that Princess Li Tianfu would lose her composure in the end.
“Your Highness, what you said is funny. Since the princess said that it was a Jin person like me who assassinated the Xiliang Emperor, where is the assassin?” Bai Qingyan looked deeply at Li Tianfu with a pair of eyes as deep as an ancient well.
“The assassin was killed on the spot…” Li Zhijie slowed down his tone, “It was just that the assassin was wearing Jin clothes at the time, so Her Highness the Princess mistakenly thought he was a Jin assassin. We in Xiliang are still investigating this matter! Just as General Bai said… We in Xiliang came to beg for peace. If we make a fool of ourselves by accusing Jin because of this incident, I’m afraid we will have to pay compensation. The reason why I didn’t mention this matter at the beginning was because I was also waiting for the results of the investigation.”
Hearing this, Bai Qingyan’s eyes darkened. It turned out that Li Zhijie wanted to hold Xiaojiu in his hand for his own plot!
She turned around and made a gesture to Shen Qingzhu, who was dressed as a Xiliang palace maid, “take the tiger eagle to rescue Jiu”. Shen Qingzhu nodded slightly and quietly retreated from the tent.
Since we already know that Li Zhijie has ulterior motives in holding Xiaojiu hostage, we cannot let Li Zhijie keep Xiaojiu in his hands any longer!
Li Zhijie did not intend to use Xiaojiu as a bargaining chip in the peace talks, so naturally he would not bring Xiaojiu with him, so he could only leave Xiaojiu in Qiushan Pass.
The envoys of the two countries chose a place between the two armies to negotiate peace, just to be on the safe side… His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought 5,000 elite troops, and the Tiger Eagle Battalion followed, and Xiliang must have also sent out all its elite troops.
If Shen Qingzhu took Tiger Eagle to rescue Xiaojiu at this time when Qiushan Pass was completely unprepared, by the time the news got back to Li Zhijie, it would be too late to save the situation.
After all, he himself said that the assassin was killed on the spot. Could he go back on his words in front of the Crown Prince… and say that the assassin was Xiao Jiu? !
Even if Li Zhijie really said that, the two countries were in the process of negotiating peace, each of them was vying for the interests of their country and arguing, and the prince was the prince of Jin… How could they really believe the words of Li Zhijie, the King of Yan of Xiliang?
With confidence in her heart, she knelt on her seat with a sneer, looking at Li Zhijie. What she had to do… was to delay the Xiliang peace negotiation team here.
She said, “So, Princess Xiliang is still talking nonsense! Could it be… this is also Xiliang’s tradition? Xiliang is planning to make such a random statement and use nonsense words to bargain with our Jin country for peace?”
Li Zhijie looked back at Li Tianfu who was already crying, and knew that his plan to get the Crown Prince to take a fancy to Princess Li Tianfu’s beauty today was unlikely to work. Princess Li Tianfu was impulsive and spoiled, and staying here would only cause trouble.
He sighed, squeezed Li Tianfu’s slender wrist, and ordered: “Send the princess back to Qiushan Pass first, the princess is tired!”
Bai Qingyan’s palms tightened, and he spoke slowly: “Slow down!”
“What else do you want to do?!” Li Tianfu’s angry and shrill voice was filled with a strong crying tone.
“Now the two countries are on the verge of a war in the peace negotiation tent. Bai Qingyan is a villain. My Jin crown prince is here. I can’t help but worry that King Yan sent the princess back to Qiushan Pass to mobilize troops to trap our Jin crown prince and use this as a bargaining chip for peace negotiations!”
“you……”
Li Tianfu was about to explode, but was stopped by Li Zhijie: “How dare a defeated country do that! If General Bai is really that worried, then the princess should just sit here!”
Li Zhijie bowed to Li Tianfu and said in a low voice, “Princess, please bear with it! Negotiations between two countries have always been a verbal battle. Princess, please don’t get angry and let the Jin people seize the opportunity to start a war again.”
“If there is a war, then there will be a war! You are not afraid of the people from Jin! My Xiliang country is rich and powerful, but we just lost this time. My Xiliang country has many brave men. We will put all our national strength into a war against the Jin country. Either he dies or I live!” Li Tianfu’s eyes were full of bloodshot, his chest was heaving violently, and his whole body was shaking.
“Princess, what you said is funny. Either he dies or I live? What you mean is… Jin will die anyway, but you won’t die?!” Liu Rushi sneered, holding up his sleeves. “Your Xiliang country has put all its strength into this, but my Great Jin only relies on the army led by General Bai! Since the Xiliang princess is so confident, I will trouble General Bai to fight with the other soldiers again. Once we reach Xiliang Yunjing… it won’t be too late for us to talk again!”
“You!” Li Tianfu picked up the wine glass on the table and was about to hit Liu Rushi.
“Your Highness!” Li Zhijie grabbed the wine glass in Li Tianfu’s hand and lowered his voice, “Soon… I will return this grievance several times to Bai Qingyan. I hope that Princess will consider the overall situation and pretend that you heard and saw nothing for a while! Your Highness, please believe me! Xiliang cannot afford to fight now! If we fight… the empress’s throne will be lost!”
The surging emotions in Li Tianfu’s heart…were finally suppressed because of Li Zhijie’s words.
She was silent for a long time, and even though she felt extremely humiliated, she still sat down as Li Zhijie said.
“Princess, don’t worry. I know what’s going on regarding Xiliang!” Li Zhijie signaled Li Tianfu to rest assured.
“Whether to fight or not, I hope King Yan and the Xiliang peace envoys can give a word and stop teasing our Jin State with those nonsense words! Otherwise, after Xiliang is flooded with blood, we will discuss the peace talks in detail.” Liu Rushi said slowly.
Li Zhijie looked at Liu Rushi’s handsome and elegant appearance, and felt that Lord Liu was not as handsome as when he first came.
On the last day, besides asking for monthly tickets… I also want to ask for monthly tickets for November from my little ancestors! There will be a big update in November!
