Chapter 234 Preemptive Strike
“So? What does King Yan want?” The prince was already angry because Li Zhijie had caused trouble time and again, and even his voice was a little cold.
Li Zhijie saw that the Prince of Jin had a gloomy look in his eyes and his breathing became a little rapid, and it was obvious that he was in confusion.
Lu Tianzhuo gently tugged at King Yan’s sleeve, bowed respectfully to the Crown Prince of Jin, and said, “Your Highness, please calm down. King Yan did not intend to sow discord between the ruler and ministers of Jin. It was just that the incident happened suddenly… General Bai suddenly led the Tiger Eagle Camp and these assassins to Qiushan Pass. King Yan was seeking peace but was treated like this. He was terrified and angry, so he came to confront General Bai! I hope Your Highness will consider King Yan’s fright and not argue with him in words.”
Bai Qingyan’s dark and deep eyes looked at Lu Tianzhuo who lowered his brows and looked obedient. This little eunuch in casual clothes… was quite alert. When she found out that King Yan could not sow discord between her and the prince, she wanted to confirm her intention to assassinate King Yan of Xiliang in her words.
Zhen Zeping was so angry that he sneered repeatedly, thinking that Xiliang was so shameless. He said, “Since our General Bai was afraid of having his military power confiscated, it would be enough to pretend to assassinate your Xiliang King Yan and bring the elite soldiers of the Tiger Eagle Camp with him. Why… did he go to the trouble of bringing these death warriors in Jin uniforms?”
Li Zhijie looked at Bai Qingyan with his peach blossom eyes, looking weak: “You’ll have to ask General Bai about this!”
Bai Qingyan stood there calmly, his figure tall and straight, holding the sword at his waist, his features clear and calm, as if he was not worried at all about being suspected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The prince glanced at Bai Qingyan, who was calm and composed and not in a hurry to explain to him, and felt secretly happy in his heart. Before, he was worried that Bai Qingyan would not be able to resist the advances of a romantic figure like King Yan of Xiliang, and would fall in love with Li Zhijie.
Now it seems… Li Zhijie was probably against Bai Qingyan because Bai Qingyan discovered that he had hidden a group of Jinfu assassins in Qiushan Pass! He wanted to frame Bai Qingyan with these Jinfu assassins.
The more anxious Li Zhijie was to throw dirty water on Bai Qingyan, the more he wanted to protect Bai Qingyan, so that Bai Qingyan would feel that she had lived up to her loyalty to him.
Bai Jinzhi’s eyes flushed red. Thinking of the wounds all over his body, he was furious… He wanted to tear Li Zhijie to pieces. He couldn’t help but imitate Cheng Yuanzhi’s swear words and cursed: “Ask your mother’s leg!”
King Yan Li Zhijie, who has always been a romantic and unrestrained man and is loved by women, was scolded with foul language by a girl for the first time. He was stunned and his eyes fell on the angry Bai Jinzhi.
The little girl’s cheeks turned red with anger and she glared at him with eyes full of resentment.
Bai Qingyan raised his hand and pulled Bai Jinzhi behind him.
When Wei Zhaonian, Shen Kunyang and Gu Wenchang heard Bai Jinzhi’s swearing, they all turned their heads and glared at Cheng Yuanzhi.
Cheng Yuanzhi came back to his senses and saw that the three people were staring at him. He looked confused and said, “Why are you three looking at me?!”
Shen Kunyang frowned and lowered his voice to reprimand Cheng Yuanzhi: “I’ve taught you to be so careless in front of the Fourth Miss all day long! Look at what you’ve taught the Fourth Miss!”
Cheng Yuanzhi: “…”
The Crown Prince felt a little relieved because of Bai Jinzhi’s scolding of Li Zhijie. He smiled and said, “I also want to ask King Yan. The time for the peace talks yesterday was set by King Yan, but King Yan made excuses saying it was too late and brought up a maid, trying to postpone the peace talks one after another! Today, there is such a big drama again! King Yan thinks that I have a good temper and you can do whatever you want?!”
At this point, the prince’s face had darkened. “It was my idea that the Tiger Eagle Camp went to Qiushan Pass at night! I am not a fool and I know very well what evil intentions you Xiliang have! The peace treaty has been signed, and I don’t want to care too much about it, but you have repeatedly provoked trouble to test my bottom line! Now you want to take the remains of the Tiger Eagle Camp warriors hostage to take the initiative, right or not?”
Li Zhijie looked at Bai Qingyan, whose armor was stained with blood, and his right eye twitched. He immediately understood that it was the prince who sent Bai Qingyan to Qiushan Pass. No wonder Bai Qingyan did not restrain himself at all… and dared to walk around in the camp in this bloody military uniform.
“Your Highness, the wounds on the body of the King of Yan of Xiliang were not caused by anyone I brought with me! I dare to swear here… If the wounds on the King of Yan were caused by anyone I, Bai Qingyan, brought to Qiushan Pass, all nine members of my Bai family will die without a burial place!” Bai Qingyan looked at Li Zhijie, “Since the King of Yan said that I led people to assassinate him, do you dare to swear a poisonous oath to the God of Xiliang here?”
Hearing the word “God”, the Xiliang soldiers who followed Li Zhijie bowed their heads in respect.
Xiliang believed in gods, who were extremely sacred to them.
Seeing Li Zhijie’s expression change drastically, Bai Qingyan asked with a half-smile, “Why, King Yan doesn’t dare?”
Li Zhijie dared to swear, he could swear to the gods… Li Zhijie knew he couldn’t do it.
Seeing Li Zhijie pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, the crown prince showed the aura of a victorious prince: “This time, it was you, Xiliang, who teamed up with Nanyan to attack my Jin country first. Now the peace treaty has been signed. If Xiliang still wants to cause trouble, I don’t mind announcing everything Xiliang has hidden in Qiushan Pass… and what its purpose is. I will invite all countries to join my Jin country in conquering and dividing Xiliang. By then, General Bai will lead my Jin country’s elite soldiers to flatten your Xiliang Yunjing!”
Bai Qingyan lowered his eyes and respectfully nodded to the prince, “I will definitely live up to your expectations!”
The prince still hasn’t figured out Xiliang’s intentions…his pretentious and vague words changed completely in the ears of Li Zhijie and Lu Tianzhuo.
What the prince was referring to as hidden in Qiushan Pass were those Jin-dressed assassins.
But Li Zhijie and Lu Tianzhuo subconsciously believed that the prince knew that Bai Jiazi was hiding in Qiushan Pass, so he sent Bai Qingyan to rescue him.
Li Zhijie suddenly doubted the reliability of the news from Southern Yan. Did the Jin royal family really suspect the Bai family, whose achievements were greater than theirs? Did they really use the Bai family and be on guard against them?
But if the Jin royal family really was on guard against the Bai family, why would the prince send Bai Qingyan to lead the Tiger Eagle Battalion to rescue the Bai family’s son?
Li Zhijie calmed down. He did not mention the detention of Bai Jiazi during the peace talks. It was Xiliang that was in the wrong. The prince of Jin was right… If Jin announced this to other countries, wouldn’t the Rongdi who coveted Xiliang’s fertile land come to share a piece of the pie? !
Thinking of this, Li Zhijie felt a slight numbness in his body, and the wound near his chest began to throb and bleed again.
The prince put his hands behind his back, his eyes stern, “If King Yan still wants to keep things quiet, then leave the bodies of my Tiger Eagle Camp warriors behind and leave immediately! I can pretend that nothing happened for the sake of the innocence of the people of Xiliang! But if you dare to cause trouble again, I’m afraid I’ll let the royal nobles of Xiliang far away in Yunjing see… how hard the blades of my Jin warriors are!”
