The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 219: alive
Chapter 219 Alive
Li Zhijie had long heard that in the Bai family of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion in Dajin, all boys and girls over the age of ten had to go to the battlefield for training.
Although Liu Rushi’s words may be exaggerated, they are all true.
I heard that the second daughter of the Bai family was married, so I didn’t go to the battle this time. What if he killed Bai Qingyan, which would anger the Jin State and the Bai family? What if the Bai family had a few more people like Bai Qingyan and fought to the death with Xiliang? Xiliang really couldn’t afford a war right now!
He looked at Bai Qingyan, whose eyes were frosty and snowy. “General Yun is the general of Xiliang who assists the country. Xiliang cannot accept the selection of 23 men from the three clans and hand them over to General Bai. I hope General Bai will understand! But what General Bai said about General Yun’s treatment of the seventeenth son of the Bai family was wrong. Xiliang is willing to pay silver to build a mausoleum for the young general. I wonder if General Bai thinks it is okay?”
Liu Rushi looked at Bai Qingyan, as if asking Bai Qingyan’s opinion. All the men in the Bai family had to die, and Bai Qingyan was the eldest daughter of the Bai family. Naturally, Bai Qingyan’s consent was required for matters concerning the Bai family.
Bai Qingyan nodded.
Liu Rushi then said, “Okay, I will have someone calculate all the expenses for building the mausoleum, and ask Xiliang to compensate the Bai family in one lump sum!”
“Of course!” Li Zhijie nodded.
Li Tianfu was furious when he heard this, but he managed to keep his composure and did not yell. He just glanced in the direction of Liu Rushi, then lowered his eyes to stare at the green bamboo leaves embroidered on his handkerchief.
Li Zhijie was right. Xiliang could not fight anymore. She had already ruined Li Zhijie’s plan to send her to the Prince’s Mansion in Jin. Since she had achieved her goal, she must know when to stop. Otherwise, if the peace talks between the two countries really collapsed because of her, even if she did not have to return to Xiliang for marriage, she was afraid that her mother would not tolerate her.
What Li Tianfu wanted in this life was very simple. She did not want to be involved in the royal and noble houses or the harem struggles. She just wanted to be a leisurely wealthy person and have Lu Tianzhuo accompany her for the rest of her life.
What is the mission of a princess? What is giving birth to an emperor of another country with Xiliang blood? What does it have to do with her, Li Tianfu!
As they were talking, a soldier from Xiliang suddenly trotted in from outside the tent, covered his lips with his hand and whispered in Li Zhijie’s ear. Li Zhijie narrowed his eyes and waved his hand to signal the soldier to stand aside. He opened the iron fan in his hand and chuckled: “Your Highness, we are here to negotiate peace… But Your Highness arranged for a maid to sneak into the peace negotiation tent, and killed a soldier from Xiliang and ran towards the direction of the Jin army. Why is this?”
The Xiliang soldier was sent by Lu Tianzhuo. The reason why Lu Tianzhuo did not appear in the tent today was because he was standing on a high place monitoring the actions of the Jin army, thinking about how to set an ambush to kill Bai Qingyan.
But one incense stick ago, he saw Shen Qingzhu coming out of the big tent, taking off the clothes of a Xiliang slave and wearing a black dress with agile movements. He sent someone to ask Shen Qingzhu, but he didn’t expect that Shen Qingzhu killed someone and went straight to the Jin army’s camp.
Lu Tianzhuo, hiding in the dark, was suddenly frightened. He didn’t know how people from Jin State could have infiltrated their Xiliang peace negotiation team.
Although she is an inconspicuous maid, she is extremely skilled and will kill people without mercy at critical moments, so she must be guarded against.
Only then did Lu Tianzhuo send someone to inform King Yan and let King Yan make decisions accordingly. He followed alone… wanting to see what Da Jin was going to do.
Bai Qingyan lowered his eyes calmly. Maid? The direction of the Jin army? It seems that Shen Qingzhu’s whereabouts have been discovered.
Bai Qingyan raised his eyes and spoke slowly: “King Yan, what you said is funny. Our crown prince brought us here. There was no woman except Bai Qingyan. You framed us because your Xiliang maid ran away. If I say that your Xiliang maid ran to the direction of our Jin State’s garrison with the intention of spying on us, what would King Yan say? Are you deliberately delaying the peace talks?”
The crown prince was puzzled by Li Zhijie’s question. After hearing Bai Qingyan’s words, he really thought that Li Zhijie was deliberately delaying, so he asked: “What does King Yan mean by this? Catching a thief and taking away his dirty tricks… You are talking nonsense like this, do you not want to negotiate?”
“If it was a maid sent by King Yan to spy on you! Why did King Yan tell it out?” Li Tianfu couldn’t help but speak.
“That’s hard to say. Xiliang invaded our Jin Dynasty and killed our Jin people, but the Princess of Xiliang kept saying that General Bai killed your Xiliang prisoners. You Xiliang even did this, the princess, let alone other people!” Liu Rushi sneered.
“Lord Liu, negotiating peace is a matter between men. Lord Liu, please don’t involve me, Princess Xiliang!” Li Zhijie’s face darkened.
“Then please ask King Yan to appease your princess and not to make trouble or talk nonsense during the peace talks!” Bai Qingyan said coldly.
Liu Rushi is a man and Li Zhijie can argue with him on the difference between men and women, but Bai Qingyan is a woman and after she said this, Li Zhijie could only nod.
“Your Highness…” Li Zhijie bowed in the direction of the Crown Prince, “Since Xiliang thinks that Dajin sent a maid to sneak into our peace negotiation team, and Dajin thinks that Xiliang sent a maid to spy on Dajin, why don’t we…end the peace negotiation today and talk again tomorrow.”
“So this is what King Yan meant! He made up a non-existent maid just to buy time for preparation. How…what does King Yan want to talk about tomorrow? The troops are approaching?” Bai Qingyan had to delay Li Zhijie here.
Li Zhijie’s face changed slightly. He really couldn’t produce any evidence. It seemed that Dajin was going to force him to negotiate a peace agreement before leaving.
“It’s getting late. It will be the same if we talk about it tomorrow!” Li Zhijie looked at the prince and smiled, “Your Highness, don’t you agree?”
The prince picked up the teacup beside him and blew slowly, saying, “The time for today’s banquet was set by King Yan, and now he says it’s getting late. King Yan…are you feeling lonely and bored?”
Li Zhijie: “…”
Never mind. Lu Tianzhuo is watching over us. If anything happens, he will report to us.
Moreover, Jin is now the victorious country. Could it really kill a mere King Yan and the legitimate princess of Xiliang here without caring about the sidelong glances of other countries?
The State of Jin would not do such a stupid thing. Moreover, among the people from the State of Jin who came to negotiate peace, it seemed that there was no fool among them.
Inside the big tent, the peace talks were still going on.
The envoys from Xiliang and Jin were arguing and bargaining with each other.
Less than half a mile away, at the Jin army’s camp, bonfires flickered.
Lu Tianzhuo was cautious and followed Shen Qingzhu for a while. When he saw the Jin army sentinels, he did not dare to go forward and was very confused.
Shen Qingzhu successfully contacted Xiao Ruojiang and met Bai Jinzhi again. When Bai Jinzhi learned that Bai Qingyun was still alive, she cried out in excitement: “Really?! My ninth brother is still alive!”
Shen Qingzhu nodded.
A new month has begun, my little ancestors, go for it! ! ! ! ! !
