The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 226: bloodthirsty
Chapter 226 Bloodthirst
Shen Qingzhu gritted his teeth, nodded, and rode his horse up the steep slope.
Bai Qingyan, sitting on a steed, looked at the fierce horses carrying the Tiger Eagle Camp and the Dong family’s assassins rushing up the mountain. He pulled the reins tight and stood in the middle and lower part of the hillside like a stabilizing force.
On the high slope, hundreds of arrows were fired, flying from behind Bai Qingyan to the front. Wherever they went… the Xiliang soldiers screamed and fell down.
·
Before Li Zhijie and his companions reached Qiushan Pass, they heard deafening shouts and screams from within the city, and it seemed as if there was a flame rising into the sky.
The Xiliang general who was leading the team immediately ordered the team to stop advancing, and rode his horse to the front of Li Zhijie’s carriage, shouting, “Your Highness… there seems to be something going on in the city! Please wait for a moment while I take people to investigate!”
The team suddenly stopped moving forward without entering the city. Lu Tianzhuo noticed something was wrong. He glanced at Li Tianfu who had cried himself to sleep, opened the carriage curtain, and rode towards Li Zhijie’s carriage: “Your Highness! Is there an accident?!”
Li Zhijie had already gotten off the carriage when he heard about the incident in the city. He was about to go with the Xiliang military supervisor to check the situation. When he saw Lu Tianzhuo riding over, he jumped on the horse and said, “Let’s go and take a look together!”
As soon as the city gate opened, Li Zhijie’s soldiers, who had been trapped in the city and unable to leave, rushed forward and said, “My lord, someone is kidnapping people!”
Li Zhijie tightened his grip on the reins: “Who?!”
“Bai Family Army, Tiger Eagle Battalion!”
“Where are the people?! Have they been stopped?!” Li Zhijie opened his eyes wide, and the veins on his hands holding the reins were bulging.
This time, Li Zhijie did not use the Bai family’s son in the peace talks because he wanted to use the Bai family’s son as bait to kill Bai Qingyan. But if the Bai family’s son was rescued or died, then it would lose the meaning of him bringing the Bai family’s son from afar.
“I don’t know!” Li Zhijie’s assassins lowered their heads and said, “It was Lord Yan Da who asked me to go and tell the prince, but… the gates of Qiushan City were not open, so I… couldn’t get out!”
Lu Tianzhuo was breathing heavily. He didn’t bother to wait for Li Zhijie’s order. He kicked his horse’s belly and galloped towards the inn where Bai Jiazi was imprisoned.
Li Zhijie gritted his teeth and led his troops quickly towards the inn.
Before they got close, they saw flames rising into the sky and a strong smell of blood. The archers of the Xiliang soldiers knelt at the foot of the mountain and kept shooting arrows towards the high slope.
Li Zhijie rushed to the foot of the mountain, grabbed the reins, and the fierce horse under him raised its hooves and stopped, kicking its hooves back and forth as if it wanted to rush up the slope and fight to the death with the man who was standing on horseback at the top and looking down on him.
He pulled the reins tightly to control the fierce horse under him, and his bright and deep peach blossom eyes stared towards the direction of the mountain. It was actually Bai Qingyan!
How did she know that the Bai family was here?! Why did she come to rescue them in person! And she came so quickly!
When they parted just now, he saw Bai Qingyan leave with the Crown Prince of Jin with his own eyes. How could she arrive at Qiushan Pass before him? !
Li Zhijie suddenly thought of the maid named Qian Zhou. Could it be that the maid was really a secret agent arranged by the Jin Dynasty in Xiliang? !
No…that’s not right!
Even if the maid was a secret agent, how could she know that he hid Bai Jiazi? How could she know where Bai Jiazi was? ! How could the Crown Prince of Jin let Bai Qingyan come to save Bai Jiazi? Not letting anyone secretly kill this boy is good!
Li Zhijie’s heart was pounding. He seemed to feel Bai Qingyan’s eyes looking at him, cold and bloodthirsty.
Thinking of the injuries on Xiaojiu’s body, Bai Qingyan wished he could tear Li Zhijie into pieces and return the humiliation and torture that Li Zhijie had brought to Xiaojiu a hundred times.
Under the bright full moon, the elegant and arrogant Bai Qingyan pointed the Sun-Shooting Bow in the direction of Li Zhijie. Although there was no arrow… but the murderous aura like the Asura from Hell came like a breaking wind. Li Zhijie’s mount sensitively sensed the cold and murderous intent and took two steps back.
Bai Jinzhi sat behind Bai Qingyan, holding Bai Qingyan’s waist tightly with both hands, looking at the Xiliang soldiers shooting arrows in vain at the foot of the mountain, and Xiliang Yanwang Li Zhijie who had already ridden to the foot of the mountain, she said: “Eldest sister, let’s go!”
Hearing Xiao Si’s voice and thinking of his injuries, she retracted her Sun-shooting Bow and pulled the reins hard…
Li Zhijie’s chest heaved violently, and he could only watch Bai Qingyan sit down on his horse, neighing angrily and galloping away.
Lu Tianzhuo gritted his teeth and turned his horse around: “My Lord! Send me a hundred soldiers, I will chase them!”
Li Zhijie closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his peach blossom eyes were calm and gloomy: “Even if you catch up with him, you can’t kill Bai Qingyan. You will just give him more heads! Ah Zhuo…you have to be patient. You should know that I want to kill Bai Qingyan more than you do. If this girl stays…if the two countries go to war in the future, it will be a disaster for Xiliang!”
Lu Tianzhuo’s heart was pounding, and he turned back to look up the hill: “But…”
“Chasing and killing them won’t work! We have to use other methods!” Li Zhijie’s face turned pale as he looked at the bodies scattered on the ground, including ordinary Jin warriors and people from the Tiger Eagle Camp. He narrowed his eyes and said, “I don’t believe that Bai Qingyan dared to tell the Crown Prince of Jin that she came to rescue Bai Jiazi! She must have brought people here secretly! Pack up the bodies of these Jin warriors and the Tiger Eagle Camp! Now… I will take these bodies and go to ask the Crown Prince of Jin for an explanation.”
After saying that, Li Zhijie bent down, pulled out the short knife used by the Tiger Eagle Camp from the body of a Xiliang soldier, and stabbed it into his shoulder with force.
“Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty!”
The soldiers of Xiliang were horrified.
Li Zhijie gritted his teeth, pulled out the sharp blade and handed it to Lu Tianzhuo. He raised his hand to cover the wound. Blood oozed out from between his fingers, and the pain made veins bulge on his forehead.
“Call the military doctor! Doctor!”
Li Zhijie gritted his teeth and said to Lu Tianzhuo in a cold voice: “Lift up the bodies of these Jin soldiers and follow me to Youhua Road! Ask Bai Qingyan and the Tiger Eagle Battalion of the Bai Family Army what they want to do to assassinate me after the signing of the peace treaty!”
He had detained and hidden the son of the Bai family. Since he had not mentioned it during the negotiation, he could not say it later! So, if Bai Qingyan had not come to Qiushan Pass to save people, what else could he have come for? He could only have come to assassinate him… Li Zhijie, the King of Yan in Xiliang!
The two countries had just signed an alliance treaty during the peace talks, and the Tiger Eagle Battalion of the Bai Family Army of Jin secretly attacked Qiushan Pass at night and assassinated King Yan of Xiliang. What would the Crown Prince of Jin think when he knew about this? !
The trust between the ruler and his subjects in Jin was already precarious, and the royal family of Jin had always been on guard against the Bai family.
Don’t you think that Bai Qingyan is afraid of having his military command confiscated and losing his military power, so he intends to provoke a war between the two countries again?
Even if the Crown Prince of Jin does not punish Bai Qingyan today, he will plant a thorn in the hearts of the Jin royal family, letting them know that today, Bai Qingyan only has 10,000 Bai Family Army left, and dares to go behind the back of the Crown Prince of Jin… Under the Crown Prince’s nose, she mobilized the Bai Family Army to assassinate the Prince of Xiliang who has signed a peace treaty with the Great Jin! Tomorrow, the Bai Family Army will grow stronger, and she, Bai Qingyan, will dare to do what the Jin royal family fears the most.
Li Zhijie is really not a brainless face lover, hahahaha…
