The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 220: save lives
Chapter 220 Rescue
Bai Qingyun is the illegitimate son of Bai Jinzhi’s father Bai Qiyu, and Bai Jinzhi’s half-brother.
“Fourth Miss, saving people is the most important thing! Go see General Shen Liangyu first!” Xiao Ruojiang said.
Upon learning that Shen Qingzhu was ordered to mobilize the Tiger Eagle Battalion to go to Qiushan Pass to rescue people, Bai Jinzhi did not dare to delay and took Shen Qingzhu to see Shen Liangyu without saying a word.
Shen Liangyu suddenly realized that Bai family’s young general Bai Qingyun was still alive, and his hair stood up with excitement.
Shen Qingzhu used to be the captain of Xiao Baishuai’s guard team and had been with Xiao Baishuai through thick and thin, so Shen Liangyu believed in Shen Qingzhu’s words without a doubt.
“I am following the orders of the eldest lady to lead the Tiger Eagle Battalion to rescue people!” Shen Qingzhu’s facial features were solemn, and his eyes were as cold as frost. “But what I mean is that we must conceal our tracks and take people away quietly. After rescuing the Ninth Young Master, we must not send him back to the Jin Army camp. Xiao Ruohai and I will escort the Ninth Young Master back to Fengcheng for resettlement, and General Shen will lead people back to Youhua Road. It would be best if we can do it without anyone noticing! If we are really discovered… we will say that we followed the orders of the eldest lady to go to Qiushan Pass to spy on the situation, and we must not mention the matter of rescuing people.”
Xiao Ruohai and the Dong family’s assassins were inside Qiushan Pass at this time, closely following Li Zhijie’s men who were escorting Bai Qingyun.
In the peace negotiation tent just now, Bai Qingyan clearly waited until Li Zhijie decided not to use Bai Qingyun to negotiate peace before letting Shen Qingzhu take the Tiger Eagle to rescue people!
Shen Qingzhu has followed Bai Qingyan for many years, and the two have a tacit understanding. Shen Qingzhu naturally knows why Bai Qingyan has to wait for Li Zhijie to express his opinion on the life or death of the “assassin” before giving the order. Naturally, he cannot bring the Ninth Young Master back to Youhua Road and let the Prince know that the Ninth Young Master is still alive.
It would be best if the Tiger Eagle Camp’s movements were done silently, otherwise once the prince knew about the Tiger Eagle Camp’s movements, it would inevitably cause trouble for the eldest girl.
Since Bai Qingyan ordered Shen Qingzhu to lead the Tiger Eagle Battalion to rescue people, Shen Liangyu must obey Shen Qingzhu. He clasped his fists and agreed, selected more than 20 elite members of the Tiger Eagle Battalion, avoided the eyes and ears, and quietly led Shen Qingzhu away.
Xiao Ruojiang did not go with Shen Qingzhu. He had to stay here to cover for Shen Liangyu and others. Besides, Bai Qingyan couldn’t be without his own people around him! But the more experts the better when it comes to saving people, he decided to give half of the Dong family’s death warriors to Shen Qingzhu, and sent two people to Fengcheng to pick up Doctor Hong.
Jiu Shao was the assassin who killed the Emperor of Xiliang. He must have been tortured and must need a doctor.
Among all the doctors Xiao Ruojiang knows in this world…there is definitely no one more capable than Doctor Hong.

Lu Tianzhuo was guarding the south side of the Jin army’s camp alone, and he didn’t notice at all that Shen Qingzhu, Shen Liangyu and his group had already taken a detour around the mountain road from the north and headed straight for Qiushan Pass.
Lu Tianzhuo looked at the Jin army camp with a blazing bonfire, and thought carefully about the maid who had sneaked into the Jin army just now.
The maidservants in their peace negotiation team were all selected by him from Xiliang. He had seen that maidservant and was sure that he had chosen her without any mistake!
Could it be that the maid was a secret agent that Jin had planted in Xiliang long ago? Why did she suddenly show up and go to the Jin army’s camp? And why did she do it in such a secretive way? It doesn’t make sense…
Suddenly, Lu Tianzhuo’s pupils shrank. Could it be because of the son of the Bai family who was captured alive by them? !
But… is it possible? The King of Yan and he were on high alert, and the son of the Bai family had never set out with the peace negotiation team. Even if the maid was a secret agent… I’m afraid she would have no way of knowing what happened to the son of the Bai family!
After all, when the Bai family’s son was seriously injured after the assassination, he jumped from the city wall into the moat. Everyone thought that the assassin had been killed. It was he who recognized that the young man looked very similar to Bai Weiting’s third son, Bai Qiyu, so he secretly rescued the assassin and planned to use him in the future.
Apart from him and King Yan Li Zhijie, no one else knew that the assassin was still alive.
Lu Tianzhuo’s mind was in a mess, he felt something was wrong…but he couldn’t figure out what was wrong.
Should he ask King Yan to send someone back to guard against anyone trying to rescue the Bai family member?
In the wind, Lu Tianzhuo, who was hiding behind a tree, closed his eyes and calmed down…
Just looking at the battle between Bai Qingyan and Yun Poxing, we know that Bai Qingyan is resourceful. What if this is a trap set by Bai Qingyan to test the location of Bai Jiazi?
Lu Tianzhuo thought about it and decided to send people back to set up defenses at Qiushan Pass to prevent anyone from entering or leaving the pass.
Thinking of this, Lu Tianzhuo returned to the place where the peace talks were taking place, quietly entered the peace tent where the fierce quarrel was taking place, and whispered in Li Zhijie’s ear.
Li Zhijie shook his head at Lu Tianzhuo and motioned Lu Tianzhuo to sit aside.
Once in this big tent, the people of Jin would probably not let Lu Tianzhuo leave unless the peace talks were finalized.
Lu Tianzhuo was startled for a moment, then nodded and sat obediently behind Li Zhijie.
Li Tianfu didn’t even look at Lu Tianzhuo, she lowered her eyes and fiddled with her handkerchief. She had already drunk several cups of tea in such a short while. Listening to the envoys of the two countries arguing about the same few sentences during the peace talks, her head was about to explode.
During this peace negotiation, the Queen Mother of Xiliang gave Li Zhijie a lot of power. The Queen Mother told Li Zhijie… there should be no more war no matter what. As long as Li Zhijie found the conditions offered by Jin acceptable, he could agree to them on behalf of the Queen Mother. This was something that all the Xiliang peace negotiation delegations knew.
The envoys of the two countries argued until the end of the Chinese New Year, and finally finalized the peace talks.
Xiliang ceded 20 cities including Qiushan Pass, Zhongshan City, and Bailong City to Jin State. From then on, the natural barrier of Qiushan Pass in Xiliang belonged to Jin State! Xiliang had to pay Jin State twice the amount of military funds spent on this war, and also compensate Jin Army for the pension. The pension for Bai Family Army was ten times higher than that of ordinary Jin Army, and also had to bear all the expenses for the construction of the mausoleum by the 17th son of Bai Family.
As a result, Xiliang suffered heavy losses.
But Xiliang can only do this to end the external threat so that it can free up its hands and feet to sort out the internal strife in Xiliang and deal with those villains who disobey the empress… and harbor evil intentions.
The envoys of the two countries signed and stamped the document.
The crown prince received the alliance signed by the two countries with a smile in his eyes and eyebrows: “In this way, our two countries will put aside hostility and make peace. I hope that Xiliang can hand over these twenty cities before the prince and princess follow us into Dadu… so that our two countries can have no more wars and form an eternal alliance.”
Li Zhijie heard something hidden in the prince’s words. He was worried that Xiliang would delay and deny. He felt that the prince of Jin was too cautious. After all, Xiliang had not yet resolved its internal turmoil, so how could they have the energy to get entangled with Jin?
If there were no internal strife, there would be no need for them in Xiliang to beg for peace so much. They could just fight!
This so-called peace talk was nothing more than Jin bullying the weak Xiliang and forcing them to kneel down and beg for peace.
There were stars and bright moon in the sky above Youhua Road and Qiushan Pass. The night wind was cold and refreshing, blowing towards us as soon as we stepped out of the tent, making us feel refreshed immediately.
Bai Qingyan felt a little uneasy and looked up at the starry sky, wondering whether Shen Qingzhu had rescued the people.
