The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 253: Deer from Heaven
Chapter 253: The Deer Descends from the Sky
Julu is getting closer!
Twenty feet…
“Your Highness!” Old Fang opened his eyes wide and hid behind the guards, shouting at the top of his lungs, “Your Highness, please come back soon! Bai Qingyan will kill your Highness!”
The prince clenched his teeth and his body shook violently.
Bai Qingyan stood still like a pine or cypress, his eyes calm, and the arrow wrapped in cloth always pointed at the center of Julu’s eyebrows.
Fifteen feet…
“Your Highness!” Old Fang was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he was extremely anxious. “Your Highness, run! Bai Qingyan, you are going to kill Your Highness!”
Sweat broke out on the prince’s forehead. The giant deer’s bare legs were as tall as a man, and its huge horns made people tremble with fear just by looking at it.
Ten feet…
Five feet…
Four feet…
The prince finally couldn’t bear the huge pressure coming from him and subconsciously raised his leg and stepped back.
Bai Qingyan loosened his grip on the bow and grabbed the prince’s wrist and pulled him back: “Your Highness!”
“Let me go!” The prince opened his eyes wide and stared at the giant deer that had rushed to him, “Bai Qingyan, are you going to kill me?!”
“Elder sister!” Bai Jinzhi screamed in surprise.
At the critical moment, Bai Qingyan’s eyes darkened, he grabbed the prince’s hand holding the sachet, almost dragged the prince forward two steps, and lifted up the prince’s hand.
“Bai Qingyan! You are trying to murder the prince! This is a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of your clan!” Old Fang shouted until his voice was hoarse.
“Prince, trust me!” Bai Qingyan gritted her teeth. She believed in her foster brother Xiao Ruojiang. If Xiao Ruojiang said he could train her, then he would definitely be able to train her!
“Bai Qingyan!” The prince shouted angrily, and seeing that the giant deer was only ten feet away from him, he could not break free from Bai Qingyan’s hand and closed his eyes in despair.
Unexpectedly, the giant deer smelled the scent of the sachet in the prince’s hand, and suddenly turned left to bypass Bai Qingyan and the prince. The deer turned too quickly and its hooves slipped and it fell to the ground, rolling straight towards the direction where the Jin soldiers were holding their shields.
The Jin soldiers holding shields changed their expressions and retreated one after another.
The giant deer rolled a few times before stopping. It propped itself up with its front hooves and stood up, with thick white mist coming out of its nostrils. It shook its hair, scaring the Jin soldiers so much that they screamed and retreated. Some of the Jin soldiers had already fallen to the ground, looking up at the sudden appearance of this huge monster, and were all filled with fear.
The white deer is a sacred deer in Jin State and must never be killed. Not to mention that the behemoth before them is so huge that they have never seen anything like it in their lives. Who knows if it is the deer god.
The giant deer stood up and seemed to have no intention of hurting anyone. It shook off its fur, turned around and walked towards the prince and Bai Qingyan with a proud step.
The prince’s face was pale, and he was barely able to stand without the help of Bai Qingyan.
“Your Highness…” Bai Qingyan supported the prince, “Are you okay?”
The prince gritted his teeth and his whole body was shaking violently. He was supported by Bai Qingyan and took two steps forward.
Seeing the giant deer slowly walking towards them, the prince tilted his neck… and met the giant deer’s pair of dark, bright and clear eyes.
The deer sniffed the scent and lowered its head. The prince hurriedly took two steps back.
“Your Highness!” Bai Qingyan grabbed the prince’s wrist and pulled him back, then raised his hand holding the sachet…
The prince resisted and wanted to retreat, but Bai Qingyan held him down: “Your Highness, your soldiers are watching you!”
The prince’s throat was churning, and he looked towards the long dragon-like team. Seeing that all the Jin army soldiers were looking in this direction, he gritted his teeth to suppress his trembling.
The giant deer sniffed the sachet in the prince’s hand but did not do anything frightening.
Seeing this, Bai Qingyan let go of her hand and prepared to step back, but as soon as she let go… the prince quickly withdrew his hand and took two steps back with Bai Qingyan, staring at the huge white deer in front of them.
Old Fang, whose heart nearly jumped out of his throat, was the first to react. He knelt down and shouted, “The divine deer has descended from the sky! It will also submit to the Crown Prince of Jin! The prosperity of our Great Jin will last forever! Long live the Great Jin!”
Zhang Duanrui also knelt down hurriedly: “Long live the Great Jin Dynasty!”
The soldiers of the Jin army put down their weapons and shields and knelt down to kowtow.
“Great Jin for ten thousand years!”
“Great Jin for ten thousand years!”
“Great Jin for ten thousand years!”
Li Tianfu, sitting in the fragrant carriage, lifted the curtain and looked towards the majestic and open high slopes of the mountain range…
The sky was dyed a magnificent and beautiful rosy glow by the red sun. The brilliant golden afterglow of the setting sun reflected the majestic mountains, and also outlined the huge white deer with sacred and dazzling golden light, making the figures of Bai Qingyan and the prince standing in front of the white deer… dyed with magnificent and captivating aura.
Li Zhijie, who was injured and sitting in the carriage, was also holding up the curtain. His long and narrow peach blossom eyes were fixed on Bai Qingyan, whose cloak was fluttering. Seeing that her brows were calm and clear, and her posture was upright, she was completely different from the prince of Jin who was sweating and pale. Li Zhijie’s lips curled up…
The Jin State’s sacred deer? Haha…interesting!
But, I don’t know who is responsible for taming this divine deer…the prince or Bai Qingyan?
“The divine deer has descended from the sky. If Your Highness can present the divine deer to His Majesty on His Majesty’s birthday, His Majesty will be very happy.”
Bai Qingyan’s calm voice came, and the frightened prince came back to his senses.
The breeze blew on his face, and the prince, who was covered in cold sweat, suddenly shivered. He tightly held the sachet in his hand, knowing that he had misunderstood Bai Qingyan in Feng County. He thought Bai Qingyan wanted to use him to capture someone, but it turned out that he wanted the Jin State’s divine deer to submit to him to consolidate his position as the prince.
But why didn’t Bai Qingyan tell him?
[The prince is deeply afraid of your majesty. Telling him… would only make things worse.]
The prince’s grip tightened.
When the prince heard this, he was extremely angry and thought that Bai Qingyan was using him as a pawn.
But now that I calm down and think carefully, although Bai Qing’s words were unpleasant to the ear, they were not wrong…
Even though he was unwilling to admit it, he was indeed deeply afraid of his father. He was not a legitimate son, and since he was a child, a single look from his father could scare him to death.
If Bai Qingyan had told me in advance, then under my father’s questioning, I would definitely reveal the truth and tell my father that this auspicious sign was arranged by him in advance.
In this way, even if the emperor is happy, his joy will be reduced.
Since it is to make my father happy, naturally it must be a real auspicious sign from heaven that can make my father happy. It can also make my father feel that even the Jin State’s divine deer is submissive to him as the crown prince, and that he is the only candidate to inherit the throne in the future. Even if my father wants to appoint someone else in the future, he will have to think carefully when he thinks of the incident of the divine deer today.
In particular, if the people of Jin knew that Shenlu was submissive to him, they would naturally agree with Shenlu about his position as crown prince.
Bai Qingyan had good intentions, but he misunderstood Bai Qingyan, which was really wrong.
The prince turned his head and looked at Bai Qingyan, whose expression was calm as usual, with mixed feelings in his heart: “General Bai, thank you…”
