Chapter 244 Dirty Eyes
“Now that the fertile land in the south has been taken back, relying on A Niang’s new policy, it will only take three or two years for the fertile land and granary in the south to enrich the people. Only when the people are rich can the army be strong, and only when the army is strong can the country be strong! Only when the country is strong can we achieve great things!” Xiao Rongyan looked deeply at Murong Yu, “For the sake of safety, if my brother thinks it is feasible, we can send a hostage to Jin and show our sincerity to Jin. At least we can exchange it for three or two years of stability for Dayan.”
Proton…
Murong Yu frowned, thought for a moment and nodded: “Ayan is right, the Great Yan State is weak and the people are poor, so we need to be more cautious and prudent in our actions.”
As soon as Murong Yu finished speaking, he felt dizzy and his whole body felt like the world was spinning.
“Brother!” Xiao Rongyan held onto Murong Yu and shouted, “Someone come! Someone come quickly!”
“It’s nothing, don’t disturb others.” Murong Yu held Xiao Rongyan’s hand tightly, holding on to the pillar between the corridors, “A Yan, help brother to sit for a while.”
Xiao Rongyan’s whole body was tense. He carefully helped Murong Yu sit down on the stone bench, gritting his teeth with red eyes.
Feng Yao, who came upon hearing the news, hurriedly took out the medicine bottle from his sleeve and fed Murong Yu a pill.
Murong Yu spoke slowly, “March 28th is the birthday of the Emperor of Jin. This time… I will personally bring my second son to celebrate the birthday of the Emperor of Jin and hold him as a hostage in Jin.”
“Your Majesty! No! Your Majesty is worth a thousand gold. If you go to Jin State, you will be in danger!”
“My broken body is not as important as Great Yan!” Murong Yu looked at Xiao Rongyan, “If I’m in danger, Great Yan… I will leave it to A Yan!”
Xiao Rongyan lowered his eyes as if thinking about something. With the signing of the alliance between Xiliang and Jin, the Crown Prince would definitely return before the birthday of the Jin Emperor. Then Doctor Hong, who accompanied Bai Qingyan to southern Xinjiang this time, would definitely return to Dadu as well!
He looked up at his brother, who looked sick and haggard but had a gentle smile, and nodded: “Now that Southern Xinjiang has been settled, I will go to Dadu first to make arrangements for brother in case of any accidents! In addition, there is a very good doctor in Dadu, you can ask him to take a look at brother. If he can cure brother’s weakness this time, it will be a blessing for Dayan!”
After Xiao Rongyan finished speaking, he looked at Feng Yao again: “Don’t worry, uncle, I will protect you even if it means sacrificing my life.”
On that day, Xiao Rongyan led a caravan to buy Southern Yan’s specialty furs, rouge and other items along the way and shipped them to the State of Jin.
Emperor Mingde of Yan, Murong Yu, sent a secret order back to the capital, ordering people to take the second prince to Linchuan to meet him, and go to the capital together to celebrate the birthday of the Emperor of Jin.
Yue Shi arrived at Kuangping exhausted and found out that Xiao Rongyan had already left with the caravan. He wanted to chase him, but was brought before His Majesty by Feng Yao.
Looking at the pale and thin Murong Yu, Yue Shi imitated the literati and scholars and bowed solemnly: “Yue Shi respectfully wishes His Majesty good health! Is Your Majesty sleeping well? How much is your meal?”
Yue Shi was picked up by Your Majesty and the master. Because he was picked up on a full moon night, the master named him Yue Shi.
“Well, I sleep very well! The food is OK!” Murong Yu looked at Yue Shi who had grown up, his eyes full of satisfaction, “I called you here today to ask you, do you know… from which country and which family is the daughter of your master’s favorite girl?”
Feng Yao looked at Yue Shi who looked up blankly and poked Yue Shi’s head: “Your Majesty is concerned about the young master’s lifelong affairs. You follow the young master every day, don’t you know it?”
Yue Shi thought of the fourth young lady of the Bai family… and couldn’t help but frowned. The fourth young lady of the Bai family was just like the crazy girl. It seemed that she was not a good match for their master, but what could they do if their master liked her?
“Whose daughter is she?” Murong Yu asked with a smile.
“Yes… the Duke Zhenguo Mansion of Jin State, the fourth lady of the Bai family.” Yue Shi said honestly.
Murong Yu was startled. The Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion…
Murong Yu recalled that when he was young, he followed his uncle to the battlefield and saw from afar the tall and majestic Duke Zhenguo Bai Weiting. He was not intimidated by the four countries and killed six generals in one battle, crushing the morale of the four countries. He stood on horseback under the black sail and white python flag with blood all over his body. He was truly proud and unyielding.
Bai Weiting, the Duke of Jin, is famous throughout the world. He cares about his country and the world, and is a man of steel. He is the backbone of the Jin State, and the Bai family army is an invincible force.
There were rumors in various countries… The Duke of Zhenguo Mansion in Jin State, a general’s family for a hundred years, has never produced any useless people, and the seventeen sons of the Bai family are all capable and capable.
During the battle in southern Xinjiang, the ten-year-old boy of the Bai family sang the Bai family army song loudly before being beheaded by Yun Poxing. He was not afraid of life and death, which made Murong Yu admire him very much.
It is no wonder that such a family with a clear and upright family tradition and proud character could raise such an insightful girl.
Murong Yu curled his lips and smiled. Since A Yan liked her, he would go to Jin State in person this time and ask the Emperor of Jin State to marry the fourth daughter of the Bai family on behalf of A Yan.
If one day he is really gone in the future, a like-minded wife will surely be of help to A Yan’s future ambitions.

On the fourth day of March, the returning army of the State of Jin passed through the devastated Fengcheng, which was under reconstruction, under the blood-red setting sun.
Princess Li Tianfu of Xiliang lifted the curtain of the scented carriage and looked out. There were carriages and horses along the way… She saw that both sides of the official road were filled with black ruins left by the fire. The prosperous Fengcheng recorded in the storybooks now had only a few scattered shops open.
The people of Fengcheng, young and old, did their best to move stones and carry soil to rebuild their homes. There were strong men from the State of Jin, with their upper bodies naked in the weather that had not yet fully warmed up, shouting “one, two, go” while carrying huge pieces of wood.
Lu Tianzhuo, who was riding behind Li Tianfu’s carriage, stepped forward a few paces and said to Li Tianfu in a low voice, “Princess, please stop looking. It’s polluting your eyes!”
Bai Jinzhi had just bought the sacrificial supplies and was about to go outside the city to visit her elder sister and then worship her uncle at Luofeng Canyon Road. When she passed by the team ahead, she raised her eyebrows when she heard Lu Tianzhuo’s words and reined in her horse: “Did you dirty your eyes? Oh… yes! Look at how dirty your sins are! If you still have a little shame, you should repent every day!”
After saying that, Bai Jinzhi kicked the horse’s belly and rode away. Li Tianfu was so angry that he threw the curtain and stayed in the carriage: “How dare any cat or dog dare to shout in front of my highness!”
Having said that, Li Tianfu also knows the fact that a defeated country has no dignity.
Just as Bai Qingyan said, she was a princess sent by the defeated country for marriage. If Jin State gave face, she was a princess, but if it didn’t, she was nothing.
Li Tianfu’s eyes were sore and she gritted her teeth. She would avenge today’s humiliation when Xiliang recovered.
Late at night, we finally arrived at Tianmen Pass.
Perhaps because the Xiliang army was once stationed at Tianmen Pass, Tianmen Pass is not as miserable as Fengcheng and Fengxian.
The commander of Tianmen Pass newly sent by the Jin court brought several generals to personally greet them outside Tianmen Pass.
The convoy of carriages and horses slowly stopped in front of the posthouse. The main army had already returned to the barracks with General Shi Panshan for rest and reorganization, leaving only a few teams of soldiers to guard the crown prince and Princess Yanwang of Xiliang.
