Chapter 233: assassinate
Chapter 233 Assassination
Mr. Fang nodded, and said firmly: “In this way, Xiliang can tell other countries that our Jin country has too big an appetite. When the two countries failed to reach an agreement during the peace talks, they sent assassins to kill the Xiliang envoy Yan Wang to vent their anger. In this way, Xiliang will have an excuse to ask for help from other countries and then invade our Jin country!”
“What Mr. Fang said is not impossible…” Zhang Duanrui nodded.
“But now that the peace treaty has been signed, why did Xiliang make such a fuss? It can’t be that they felt that they didn’t get a big advantage after signing a peace treaty with our Jin country, so they were angry and wanted to assassinate that Yan Wang?” Zhen Zeping couldn’t figure it out. “We Jin country is the victorious country. If we feel that the treaty is not suitable, we can just continue to fight. Who would believe that the victorious country would go through so many twists and turns!”
“Then he should be planning to use his injury as an excuse to calm the situation down!” Old Fang spoke slowly.
Several people were discussing heatedly outside the prince’s tent, but Bai Qingyan and the generals of the Bai family army knew what was going on, so they all pursed their lips and remained silent.
Qin Shangzhi, Old Fang and General Zhang Duanrui were discussing endlessly, while Bai Qingyan stood quietly aside, carefully pondering the purpose of Li Zhijie’s visit.
She thought… Li Zhijie must not dare to tell the prince that the reason the Tiger Eagle Battalion and those assassins went to Qiushan Pass was to rescue Bai Qingyun who was in his hands.
Even if Li Zhijie said this today, it would be too late. He did not mention that the son of the Bai family was in his hands during the peace talks yesterday. He only mentioned this today. What would the prince think with his suspicious personality?! He would naturally think that Xiliang was trying to distance itself from those Jin pretending to be dead soldiers and to sow discord between the monarch and his subjects in Jin.
“It’s pointless for us to guess here. It’s better for us to go with the prince to meet King Yan of Xiliang and find out what he is really saying!” Zhang Duanrui clenched his fists.
“General Zhang is right. There is no point in guessing here. Since King Yan of Xiliang has already arrived at the gate of the military camp, we know his intentions at first sight. Why bother guessing here!”
The prince, neatly dressed and wearing a cloak, came out of the big tent, and everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted him.
“No need to be polite, let’s go and see what King Yan of Xiliang wants to do!”
The prince frowned and walked out of the camp first. It seemed that he had no intention of inviting Xiliang Yan Wang Li Zhijie to come in.
Bai Qingyan followed behind the prince, half-lowering his eyes as he walked towards the camp gate.
At this time, the prince had no good feelings towards Li Zhijie. Whose envoy from a defeated country… dared to cause so much trouble during the peace talks? He didn’t even let him sleep peacefully.
The door of the Jin army camp slowly opened. Li Zhijie, wearing a black cloak, raised his eyes and was supported by Lu Tianzhuo to walk to the front of the camp. Before the prince came out, he had already saluted respectfully and kept a very humble attitude.
Li Zhijie’s attitude made the prince less angry. He tightened his hands behind his back and frowned, “What do you want to do by coming to our Jin army camp with all this blood on your body?”
Li Zhijie was helped to stand up by Lu Tianzhuo. He did not answer the prince’s words. Instead, his eyes fell on Bai Qingyan. He hid the coldness in his eyes behind his dark peach blossom eyes and acted as if he was annoyed.
“General Bai, do I have any deep hatred with General Bai that requires General Bai to bring the feared Tiger Eagle Battalion soldiers and these death warriors to assassinate me after the peace treaty between the two countries is signed?”
Li Zhijie pointed at the corpses on the carriage and went straight to the point, thinking that he would catch Bai Qingyan off guard.
Cheng Yuanzhi’s heart rose to his throat, and he gritted his teeth and grasped the sword at his waist.
On the contrary, Bai Qingyan himself felt relieved when he heard Li Zhijie say this.
She chuckled, “So… King Yan made such a big scene just to target me.”
The prince narrowed his cold eyes, swept his gaze over the soldiers of the Tiger Eagle Camp and the bodies of those Jin suit death warriors, turned his head and looked at Bai Qingyan, who was smiling openly.
She smiled and nodded to the prince, as if to signal him not to be angry and to listen to what Li Zhijie had to say first.
The prince rubbed his hands behind his back slightly, and felt that he had guessed what Li Zhijie was going to do. He retracted his gaze and said, “King Yan meant that General Bai brought the elite soldiers of the Tiger Eagle Camp… and these Jin suit assassins to assassinate you?”
Li Zhijie was unsure after seeing the interaction between Bai Qingyan and the crown prince, so he could only bite the bullet and say, “Perhaps someone doesn’t want to see the two countries sign an alliance, and is afraid that after the two sides stop fighting, their military tokens will be taken back and they will lose their military power. That’s why they want to bring the elite soldiers of the Tiger Eagle Camp of Jin and these assassins to pretend that they have failed to assassinate me! Otherwise, with the Sun-shooting Bow in General Bai’s hand, how can I survive under General Bai’s hands! Is that right… General Bai?”
Bai Qingyan just smiled and said nothing. Li Zhijie’s implication was that she was afraid of losing her military power and was unwilling to cease fire, so she deliberately led the Tiger Eagle Battalion to stage this failed assassination attempt?
It seems that Li Zhijie’s purpose is to sow discord between her and the crown prince, making the crown prince think that she has disregarded the interests of Jin State in order to control the military power, and even has a rebellious heart, wanting to damage Jin State and strengthen Bai’s army in the conquest.
As luck would have it, before she took the people from the Tiger Eagle Camp to Qiushan Pass, in order to show her complete submission to the prince… she did not delay in returning the military token in time, but she did not expect that Li Zhijie would mention the military token.
This was probably a blessing in disguise, as it revealed the purpose of Li Zhijie, the King of Yan of Xiliang, who deliberately instigated the Crown Prince to suspect the generals of Jin who defeated Xiliang, in order to make the Jin court suspicious of his ministers.
“What King Yan said seems to be an attempt to sow discord between the ruler and ministers of our Jin State!” Zhang Duanrui looked at King Yan with his blazing eyes and spoke coldly.
Now, whether it was the Crown Prince, or counselors like Fang Lao and Qin Shangzhi, or generals like Zhang Duanrui, they all understood what Li Zhijie was intending to do by bringing the Tiger Eagle Battalion and the remains of these dead soldiers to the Jin army camp.
If it is said that Li Zhijie had repeatedly intended to postpone the talks to another day in the peace negotiation tent, it was actually a fake assassination that framed Jin State for wanting to kill the Xiliang peace envoy after the peace negotiation failed, and to seek help from other countries to attack Jin State.
So at this time, it was… After the evil plot of King Yan of Xiliang was discovered by Bai Qingyan, who was ordered by the Crown Prince to lead the Tiger Eagle Battalion to explore Qiushan Pass, Li Zhijie took advantage of the situation and was the first to go to the door with injuries to demand an explanation, probably wanting to use this incident to sow discord between the monarch and his ministers of Jin.
Bai Qingyan was the biggest contributor to Jin’s victory over Xiliang. Xiliang was afraid that Jin had such a talented general, so it was natural for them to sow discord.
But man proposes, God disposes, and the prince knew it best… Not only did Bai Qingyan hand over the military token to him immediately after the signing of the alliance, but Bai Qingyan also pleaded with him… She was in poor health and could not lead the Bai family army, so she handed all the Bai family army to him, and also took the trouble to make arrangements for him to have soldiers that could be used in the future.
How could such a person be the kind of person that Li Zhijie described… a despicable villain who would harm the interests of his motherland in order to keep the military power in his hands?
The prince now trusts the heroine very much!
