The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 230: moment of life and death
Chapter 230 A Moment of Life and Death
When the prince heard what Mr. Fang said, he completely dispelled the last bit of doubt he had about Bai Qingyan.
He tightly grasped the military token in his hand, thought for a moment and said, “She gave me a peach, I will repay her with a plum! When we return to Dadu this time… I will ask my father to make Bai Qingyan a princess, as a favor to the Bai family and the Bai family army!”
“Your Highness the Crown Prince has shown great gratitude to the Bai family and Bai Qingyan. I believe that Bai Qingyan will be as loyal to Your Highness as I am!” Old Fang said with a smile.
The prince nodded and asked Mr. Fang: “Then… according to Mr. Fang, should the Tiger Eagle Battalion be brought back to Dadu?”
“I think that Your Highness can treat Shen Liangyu according to the strategy you discussed with Your Majesty before, and promise General Shen Liangyu a high position, give him gold, silver and jewelry, and settle his family members with luxurious clothes and food! Let him train a group of elite soldiers like the Tiger Eagle Camp for Your Majesty and Your Highness, and serve only Your Majesty and Your Highness! Your Highness might as well do as Bai Qingyan arranged for other generals of the Bai Family Army, and send a general that Your Highness trusts to lead the troops, and Shen Liangyu will only be responsible for training the troops!”
“Mr. Fang is right!” The prince nodded.
“The matter of the Bai family army is now settled! Your Highness the Crown Prince should also think carefully… On March 28th, His Majesty’s birthday, what kind of gift should Your Highness give to make His Majesty happy and win His Majesty’s favor?” Old Fang reminded the Crown Prince.
“What Elder Fang reminded me of is that the Crown Prince’s Mansion must have already started preparations. After returning… Elder Fang will have to help me think about it!”
“Your Highness… You don’t understand what I mean!” Elder Fang stroked his beard and smiled, “What gift could make His Majesty happier than His Highness the Crown Prince encountering auspicious signs from heaven on his way back from a great victory? If Your Highness thinks it is feasible, you can let Ren Shijie do it. Although he is taciturn, he is very steady in his work.”
The prince’s eyes lit up, and he smiled and nodded: “I am always by your side, thanks to Elder Fang who reminds me from time to time.”

In Bai Jinzhi’s tent, she had bandaged the wound on her arm and changed her bloody clothes. She was sitting in front of the brazier, staring at her silver spear in a trance, thinking over and over again about the moment of life and death just now…
The eldest sister shouted at her to pick up the knife, but she seemed to have lost her soul and was only focused on pulling out her silver spear.
If it weren’t for her elder sister and Xiao Ruojiang, she would have probably gone to see the King of Hell by now!
Bai Jinzhi’s pupils were trembling. She didn’t feel afraid during the fierce battle, but when she recalled the feeling of brushing shoulders with death afterwards, she couldn’t help but feel a chill down her spine.
Bai Qingyan entered the tent carrying a jar of wine, and saw Bai Jinzhi staring at the silver spear. She raised her hand and rubbed the top of Bai Jinzhi’s head.
Bai Jinzhi finally came back to his senses, raised his eyes to look at Bai Qingyan, and said in a hoarse voice: “Eldest sister…”
“Are you scared?” She asked Bai Jinzhi with a smile.
Bai Jinzhi nodded and shook his head, looking at her with a pair of bloodshot but bright eyes, and tightened his trembling fingers on his legs: “I was scared at first! I saw the Dong family’s assassins and the Tiger Eagle Camp’s elite soldiers falling in front of me, and the hot blood splattered on my face and mouth. The taste of blood… was a little salty. I really thought I was going to die with my ninth brother in Qiushan Pass! I just thought… even if I died, I had to kill a few more Xiliang dogs! But… I saw my eldest sister coming!”
Bai Jinzhi smiled at Bai Qingyan with cracked lips, his eyes reddened: “I am not afraid anymore when I see my elder sister! I feel full of strength, and I can kill hundreds of those Xiliang thieves again!”
Seeing her younger sister’s eyes shining, she raised her hand and rubbed Bai Jinzhi’s head, then hugged Bai Jinzhi in her arms with tears in her eyes.
She knew how Bai Jinzhi felt. It was like when she was trapped in a battle once. As long as she saw the black sails and white python flags of the Bai family army coming from afar, she was not afraid of anything, because she knew… the Bai family and the Bai family army were coming to rescue her!
This is why Bai Qingyan always rushed forward first, because the Bai family members and the Bai family army were standing behind her. They were her strongest backing, allowing her to have no worries!
As the eldest sister, she should have taken the responsibility of protecting her younger brothers and sisters from wind and rain. She should have been their strongest support! But she allowed herself to be spoiled and sick for these years. If she could have made herself strong and powerful earlier! Why did the children of the Bai family end up like this? !
“Little Four is more powerful than I was before! When I went to the battlefield for the first time, she had a team of guards protecting her. But Little Four is now killing all the Xiliang soldiers alone!” She gently stroked Bai Jinzhi’s back. “I believe that in time, my Little Four will become the most dazzling general of the Bai family army on the battlefield!”
Bai Jinzhi wiped away her tears with her sleeve, stood up and looked at Bai Qingyan, and said firmly: “Eldest sister, believe me! I can definitely do it!”
“This is the honey wine General Shen Liangyu asked me to bring you… He said that it contains a secret medicine passed down from their ancestors. If you drink a few sips and fall asleep, the pain will go away!” She handed the wine jar to Bai Jinzhi, “I’ve drunk it before, and it works!”
“Um!”
Bai Jinzhi took the jar of wine and heard the soldiers of the Bai family army who were guarding the tent outside come to report that the four generals Shen Kunyang, Wei Zhaonian, Gu Wenchang and Cheng Yuanzhi had rushed to Youhua Road from Fengcheng and had gone to General Shen Liangyu’s tent.
“Have a good sleep!” Bai Qingyan said as he stood up and patted Bai Jinzhi’s head.
Bai Jinzhi originally wanted to persuade her elder sister to take a rest, but when she looked at her elder sister’s back, which was as straight as a pine tree, she swallowed the words back.
What’s the use of persuading? The eldest sister has to work day and night to protect the Bai family and the Bai family army. It’s her fault that she can’t help at all. It’s her fault that she is not strong enough to share the burden with the eldest sister!
Bai Jinzhi raised her hand and pressed the wound on her arm. At least… she had to get better soon and not let her elder sister worry. Even if she couldn’t help her elder sister, she must not become a burden to her elder sister and make her worry!
She took the jar of wine, uncorked it, and drank two gulps while enduring the burning sensation.

As soon as the four generals of the Bai family army, Wei Zhaonian, Cheng Yuanzhi, Gu Wenchang and Shen Kunyang, arrived, they went to pay their respects to the prince. However, the young eunuch named Quan Yu beside the prince said that the prince had just finished a discussion with his staff and lay down.
The four of them did not meet Prince Cheng, so they went to Shen Liangyu’s tent.
Shen Liangyu, who had already gone to bed, heard that Wei Zhaonian, Cheng Yuanzhi, Gu Wenchang and Shen Kunyang, the four generals of the Bai family army, had arrived. He hurriedly stood up and dismissed his attendants, and whispered to them the news that Bai Qingyun, the ninth son of the Bai family, had been rescued.
Cheng Yuanzhi was so excited that he almost shouted out loud. Fortunately, Wei Zhaonian pressed on his wound, and the laughter that was about to burst into Cheng Yuanzhi’s mouth turned into a howl.
“One-eyed old Wei, where are you pressing?” Cheng Yuanzhi grimaced in pain.
Wei Zhaonian glanced outside calmly, poked the charcoal in the brazier with copper tongs, and said in a low voice: “The prince is here, we should be careful!”
Those little ancestors who urge the bald author to update more works every day but don’t give him monthly votes as encouragement…are all like scumbags!
