The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 240 Reminder
“I accept!” Du Sanbao’s heart was already surging. He turned around and looked towards the big tent, bowed to the ground, raised his head and shouted, “General Bai! Miss Ji! Du Sanbao knows he was wrong! I will accept the punishment right away! From today on, Du Sanbao will start as an ordinary soldier and will find his original intention!”
Bai Qingyan’s words reminded Du Sanbao of the reason why he joined the army… It was because Shu State killed the border residents of Jin State and humiliated the women of Jin State. As a passionate man of Jin State, he was so furious when he heard about the suffering of the border residents that he wanted to sacrifice himself to kill the bandits, so he joined the army.
Four words… Protect the country, protect the people!
These four words were Du Sanbao’s original intention for joining the army.
But later he was promoted to captain of five, captain of ten, and until today’s centurion, his military rank became higher and higher, and his original intention became less and less.
General Bai’s remarks today were truly enlightening.
Du Sanbao accepted the penalty!
Bai Qingyan turned around and looked outside the tent. Seeing Ji Langhua lowering her eyes and wiping away tears while holding the cloak tightly in her arms, she spoke softly, “This cloak…”
Ji Langhua bit her lip, touched the cloak reluctantly, held it up with tears in her eyes and handed it to Bai Qingyan, choking with sobs, “This belongs to General Bai Qingming. I was raped by Xiliang, and it was the general who saved me. I originally wanted to keep this cloak as a souvenir, but now… give it back to Xiao Baishuai!”
She raised her hand and gently touched the cloak that Ji Langhua was holding. The cloak had been washed clean, and even the torn parts had been carefully mended. Her eyes were wet for a moment. It turned out to be A Ming’s. No wonder… it looked so familiar.
She looked at Ji Langhua and said, “If you want to keep a memory, then keep it and live well!”
Tears welled up in Ji Langhua’s eyes. He bit his lips tightly, hugged the cloak tightly, looked at Bai Qingyan and thanked him: “Thank you… General Bai! I will live well and live up to the kindness of General Bai Qingming and the soldiers of the Bai Family Army who risked their lives to protect me.”
Bai Qingyan nodded, looked at Ji Langhua and asked, “Are you leaving?”
Ji Langhua nodded: “The alliance between the two countries has been signed. Since the war is not going to be fought, I should go back.”
“It’s not safe to walk at night. What will you do if you encounter a pack of wolves? Have a good rest first, and leave with the army tomorrow. I’ll send someone to take you back after we reach Tianmen Pass.” Seeing that Ji Langhua was about to refuse, Bai Qingyan said, “I’ll have to entrust you with changing the bandages on my wounds these days.”
Ji Langhua looked at Bai Qingyan’s delicate facial features, hugged the cloak in his arms, and nodded with great gratitude.
Xiao Ruojiang had already woken up and was sitting by the window, letting the military doctor change his dressing. When he saw Bai Qingyan coming in, he hurriedly pulled his clothes over and put them on. His movements caused his wound to hurt, and he frowned. He hastily tied his clothes and bowed to Bai Qingyan, “Miss!”
“Are you feeling better today?”
Xiao Ruojiang nodded: “Much better!”
“Tomorrow we will be returning to Dadu with the Crown Prince. It will be tiring. You are injured and I am afraid you cannot withstand the torment. It is better for you to stay and recuperate… You can return to Dadu after your injuries are healed.”
Xiao Ruojiang raised his head and looked at Bai Qingyan. Seeing that Bai Qingyan’s eyes were deep and clear, he looked around and approached Bai Qingyan: “Miss, give me your orders!”
“Before we go back to Dadu, if Xiaojiu can handle the injury, I want to see her.”
Now Bai Qingjue is with Xiao Rongyan, so she is afraid that she won’t be able to see him this time. But Xiaojiu is in Shaoyang County so she might be able to meet him. However, this matter needs someone to arrange it, and there is no one more suitable than Xiao Ruojiang.
Xiao Ruojiang nodded.
“You are my foster brother. If you stay here to recover, the prince will definitely send someone to watch you. You must be careful. Even if we can’t meet this time… we must be safe!”
“Don’t worry, big girl!”
“On my way back this time, I will inform the Crown Prince that I will visit the places where my grandfather, father, uncle, and brothers died to pay homage. If I can see them… send a message via the bone whistle!”
“Eunuch Quan Yu, why are you here?”
Before Bai Qing could finish his words, Bai Jinzhi’s voice was heard from outside the tent.
Quan Yu, who was about to reach the door of the big tent, turned around and saw the heroic Bai Jinzhi walking towards the big tent with his hands behind his back. He smiled and saluted Bai Jinzhi and said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince has something to tell General Bai, so I came here in person to invite you…”
Bai Jinzhi walked over briskly, put her hands behind her back, and asked in a low voice, “Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows that my elder sister lost her temper here? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won’t blame my elder sister, right?”
Quan Yu smiled and said, “Fourth Miss, you are worrying too much. How could it be possible?”
“You really know?” Bai Jinzhi looked worried.
Quan Yu looked up and saw Bai Qingyan coming out. He saluted and said, “General Bai, His Highness summons General Bai and the loyal servant of the Bai family who has always been by his side.”
She tightened her grip on the sword, thinking that the loyal servant of the Bai family was talking about Xiao Ruojiang.
“The loyal servant of the Bai family who follows me?” She pretended not to know. “Are you talking about my foster brother?”
“That’s right!” Quan Yu was very respectful. He took two steps forward and said to Bai Qingyan in a low voice, “Your Highness was a little unhappy after meeting several generals of the Bai family army. General Bai, please hurry up and don’t delay!”
Quan Yu reminded Bai Qingyan.
She nodded to Quan Yu and thanked him: “Thanks for the reminder!”
“Xiao Si, go tell Xiao Ruojiang… His Highness wants to see him. Tell him to change his clothes quickly and go over. I will go with Eunuch Quanyu first.” Bai Qingyan made a gesture of invitation to Quanyu, who nodded and led the way.
Bai Jinzhi looked at the look her elder sister gave her and nodded slightly.
Seeing Bai Qingyan leaving with Quan Yu, Bai Jinzhi hurried into the big tent.
Along the way, Bai Qingyan followed Quan Yu, his feet never stopped, and his mind never stopped either.
Quan Yu said that the prince was a little unhappy after meeting the generals of the Bai family army. Was it because the Bai family army wanted to see her and the people around her, or because of something else?
If it’s about the Bai family army, why is Xiao Ruojiang, who is by her side, being rumored?
It’s about Qiushan Pass, and I have more questions to ask.
Or maybe, the prince discovered that Xiao Ruohai, who used to serve her, had become Xiao Ruojiang, and started to care about the arrangements of the people around her?
Didn’t Zhang Duanrui and his men report this to the Crown Prince long ago? Why did the Crown Prince only think of questioning about this now?
Soon, Bai Qingyan arrived at the prince’s tent.
“Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!” Bai Qingyan saluted respectfully, and when he saw Mr. Fang sitting next to the Crown Prince, he smiled and bowed to him.
The prince was sitting in front of the chessboard. He didn’t seem unhappy. He just stared at the chessboard and asked Bai Qingyan, “Where is the servant beside you?”
“Your Highness, that is Yan’s foster brother, not a servant of the Bai family.” Bai Qingyan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Quan Yu, who was standing aside, looked up at the prince and then at Bai Qingyan, feeling worried for Bai Qingyan. He had reminded Bai Qingyan before he came that the prince was a little unhappy. Why was Miss Bai still so straightforward in speaking to His Highness? Why couldn’t she try to appease him in a roundabout way?
The prince threw all the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box and turned to look at Bai Qingyan.
