The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 278: Wise and mighty
Chapter 278: Wise and Courageous
Bai Jinzhi’s furious shout came from outside.
Outside the post station, the onlookers were filled with indignation, and the Bai family guards led by Bai Jinzhi and Li Zhijie’s guard team were on the verge of a fight.
The people shouted for Li Zhijie to return Bai Qingqiong, the second son of the Bai family, to the State of Jin, otherwise they would kneel down and beg the emperor to send troops to destroy Xiliang.
“Our Zhenguo Princess might have fallen into a trap! The Xiliang people are very cunning. Maybe they used the information about the second son of the Bai family to trick the Zhenguo Princess into coming here, and then they want to kill her!”
“Yes, this great victory over Xiliang is because the Zhenguo Princess scared Yun Poxing. If the Zhenguo Princess dies, Xiliang won’t have to fear Jin anymore! Fourth Miss, hurry up and lead your men to rescue the Princess!”
“What a vicious Xiliang person!”
Bai Qingyan knew that the prince had arrived…
She asked the people arranged by Nanny Qin to wait at the gate of the inn. As soon as they saw the prince arrive at the gate of the inn, they said… The people of Xiliang deceived the Princess Zhenguo with the news about the second son of the Bai family, and the princess might have been ambushed in the inn. The people of Xiliang wanted to kill the Princess Zhenguo, and if they killed the Princess Zhenguo, Xiliang would no longer be afraid of the Jin State, and so on.
Naturally, they also arranged for people to shout loudly, believing that the prince was a wise crown prince and would definitely find a way to rescue the princess.
The people arranged by Xiao Si and Nanny Qin want the bigger the trouble to be, the better.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise and brave, he will definitely rescue the Princess!”
Li Zhijie also heard the noise outside.
“It seems that the prince has arrived. I hope King Yan has figured out how to explain it to the prince?”
As soon as Bai Qingyan finished speaking, Li Zhijie’s pupils tightened. Her natural sensitivity to danger made her aware of the danger approaching from behind, and she immediately turned around and shot an arrow…
Lu Tianzhuo appeared silently from somewhere with a sword in hand, and almost succeeded in his sneak attack. However, he was discovered by Bai Qingyan and was nearly pierced by Bai Qingyan’s feather arrow.
“Lu Tianzhuo!” Li Zhijie shouted with clenched teeth.
Killing Bai Qingyan today was not in Li Zhijie’s plan. If Bai Qingyan died here today… not only would it give Jin an excuse to send troops to Xiliang, but the Bai family army would probably rush into Yunjing to avenge Bai Qingyan.
Xiliang cannot be in chaos now, and cannot afford to be in chaos!
Li Zhijie was afraid of Bai Qingyan’s ability to lead troops in battle, but he was even more afraid of the Bai family army in Jin.
Although there are only 10,000 soldiers left in the Bai family’s army…but just think about that Bai family member and you will know how brave the Bai family’s army and the Bai family’s members are.
If Yunjing is in chaos, Xiliang will be in chaos. At that time…if Jin invites its allies to attack Xiliang, destroy Xiliang and divide Xiliang, Xiliang will no longer exist!
Li Zhijie watched as Lu Tianzhuo dodged Bai Qingyan’s sword, stepped on the white marble guardrail beside the fish pond, and held a sharp sword with a faint glow… and rushed towards Bai Qingyan quickly.
Li Zhijie’s eyes darkened, and regardless of the injuries on his body, he took two steps at a time and stood in front of Bai Qingyan to protect him. He opened the iron fan… twenty-three iron fan bones attacked Lu Tianzhuo.
Lu Tianzhuo turned over in a panic to avoid it, but was stabbed in the knee by Li Zhijie’s fan bone. He knelt on one knee in pain and used the sword to support his body.
“Lu Tianzhuo, stop it!” Li Zhijie’s face was gloomy, and half of his body was stained with blood, making Li Zhijie look even more terrifying.
Bai Qingyan narrowed her eyes, she couldn’t understand why the people around Li Zhijie wanted to kill her, but Li Zhijie… was protecting her?
Lu Tianzhuo gritted his teeth and looked up…
He entered the Xiliang Palace with nothing to lose, and endured humiliation and lived for so many years, just to avenge his adoptive father. The man who cut off his adoptive father’s head was right here. The sword in his hand was poisoned, and today he must kill Bai Qingyan to avenge his adoptive father. If he missed this day… he would never have another chance.
“Your Highness, I’m sorry! Today I must take Bai Qingyan’s life. I can only repay your kindness in the next life!” After Lu Tianzhuo finished speaking, he stared at Bai Qingyan with his eagle-like eyes, and rushed towards Bai Qingyan and Li Zhijie with a sword in hand.
Bai Qingyan drew his bow and arrow swiftly, aiming at Lu Tianzhuo without any fear.
Li Zhijie subconsciously raised his hand to protect Bai Qingyan behind him, shouting: “Are they all dead?! Capture him for me!”
The noise in the inn was so loud that it finally alarmed Li Tianfu.
When Li Tianfu came over after hearing the noise, he saw soldiers dressed in Xiliang costumes fighting with Lu Tianzhuo. However, Li Zhijie, who was covered in blood, actually protected Bai Qingyan from the enemy country behind him.
“Stop! Stop it, everyone! What are you doing?!” Li Tianfu drew out the sword of his guard and rushed into the fierce battle.
When the Xiliang soldiers saw that it was Princess Li Tianfu, they all stopped.
Li Tianfu protected Lu Tianzhuo, who had an injured knee, behind him. He looked at the bleeding wound on Lu Tianzhuo’s knee and was furious: “Li Zhijie, are you crazy?!”
Without waiting for Li Zhijie to answer, Lu Tianzhuo grabbed Li Tianfu’s shoulders and said in a low voice: “Princess! I’m sorry!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Tianzhuo pushed Li Tianfu away and raised his sword, but before he could rush towards Bai Qingyan, he heard a sound of breaking air with the wind. Lu Tianzhuo’s throat churned and he opened his mouth but no sound came out.
Li Zhijie was startled and turned to look at the Sun-Shooting Bow in Bai Qingyan’s hand which had no arrows left.
Li Tianfu, who was pushed to the ground, opened his eyes wide and screamed.
Lu Tianzhuo lowered his head and couldn’t see his wound, but blood was oozing out and staining his clothes red.
He raised his hand to cover the hole in his neck where the feather arrow pierced. Blood rushed out from between his fingers… and poured into his throat. He opened his mouth but gasped, and fell backwards in a daze.
“Lu Tianzhuo! Lu Tianzhuo!” Li Tianfu pushed away the maid who helped her up, rushed over and hugged Lu Tianzhuo who almost fell to the ground. She pressed his neck with her hands in panic, “Lu Tianzhuo! Doctor! Doctor! Call the doctor quickly!”
Lu Tianzhuo looked at Li Tianfu, who was so frightened and crying, with his red and tearful eyes. He knew that he would die here today, but… he couldn’t bear to leave Li Tianfu.
Everyone says that Li Tianfu is unruly, willful, arrogant and overbearing, but Lu Tianzhuo knows that she is just a little girl who wants to be noticed by her father and mother. She is kind and fragile at heart.
Her competitiveness…her bravado, is just a disguise to cover up her inner fragility and helplessness.
If Li Tianfu had not saved him, he would have been beaten or tortured to death by the eunuchs in the Xiliang Palace.
He has lived for revenge all his life, thinking that his future was limited to avenging his adoptive father. Li Tianfu was an accident in his life and the only ray of light in the endless darkness in his heart.
He was not afraid of death, but was afraid that his death would make Li Tianfu sad.
Lu Tianzhuo held Li Tianfu’s hand tightly with his blood-stained hand, his nostrils flared slightly, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. He raised his lips to Li Tianfu, no longer having the strength to speak.
