The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 328: break
Chapter 328: Breakthrough
“Sister, are we just leaving like this without saying hello to Mr. Xiao?” Bai Jinzhi asked.
“I have sent someone to the VIP Inn to tell Mr. Xiao.” Bai Qingyan turned his head to glance at Bai Jinzhi, “You seem to have a good impression of this Mr. Xiao?”
“Eldest sister… don’t you like Mr. Xiao?” Bai Jinzhi asked tentatively.
She looked at her younger sister and smiled without answering.
She doesn’t have time for romance…
As soon as Bai Qingyan left Shuoyang City, he saw the prefect and his entourage waiting outside the city.
Seeing Bai Qingyan and his entourage riding out, the governor hurried forward to salute and stopped Bai Qingyan’s horse: “Greetings, Princess…”
Bai Qingyan sat on the horse and did not dismount. He looked at the governor with a smile on his face: “The governor knows my whereabouts very well, right?”
“I dare not. I heard that the princess is going to leave Shuoyang and return to Dadu. However, Shuoyang is not safe recently. There have been many cases of bandits killing people and robbing property on the road! I am worried about the princess’s safety, so I brought a hundred elite soldiers to escort her back to Dadu.” The prefect said with a smile.
“I appreciate your kindness, sir. They are just small bandits and nothing to be afraid of…” Bai Qingyan looked like he didn’t take it to heart.
The governor looked up at Bai Qingyan, who was holding the reins with a smile on his lips, and said, “Please don’t underestimate these bandits, Princess. Even the most famous Zhentian Escort Agency suffered losses from these bandits a while ago. It’s better to be careful!”
“knew.”
After saying that, Bai Qingyan rode away quickly.
The bandits’ trouble has just begun. After Bai Qingyan returns to Shuoyang… it won’t be long before Ji Tingyu can turn “bandit trouble” into “bandit trouble”. Now Daliang has stationed troops in Hongque Mountain with unclear intentions, and General Zhang Duanrui is leading his troops to Chunmu Mountain. I’m afraid the Jin court will not have the spare energy to deal with the bandit trouble.
At that time, it was time for Bai Qingyan to contribute to the country.
Bai Qingyan and his group rode fast on horseback. When they reached a sparsely populated mountain road, Bai Qingyan let the others go first, and he took Bai Jinzhi and two assassins to meet Ji Tingyu at the agreed place.
Ji Tingyu was quite courageous and asked Bai Qingyan to meet him at their camping place. The mountain road was steep and difficult to walk on, and it was almost dark when Bai Qingyan arrived.
Bai Qingyan and Ji Tingyu stood on the mountain, looking at the terrain.
“Among all the majestic mountains, Niujiao Mountain has the best terrain. It is located in the center of the mountains. The top of the mountain is flat and vast, and the surrounding terrain is dangerous and steep. There is a river below. We can cultivate terraces and cultivate them for self-sufficiency in normal times! When we recruit more people in the future, we won’t have to worry about food shortages!” Ji Tingyu’s words were full of enthusiasm.
Taking advantage of the light that had not yet darkened, Bai Qingyan looked at the terrain and thought of the difficulty he had just encountered when he came in. He nodded and said, “The team you built is more about quality than quantity. I plan to… train them according to the original intention of building the Tiger Eagle Camp, but they will be different from the original Tiger Eagle Camp.”
Ji Tingyu was stunned. He originally thought that he was only responsible for causing “bandit trouble”.
Bai Qingyan turned his head and looked at Ji Tingyu with sharp eyes.
“In the southern Xinjiang, Shen Liangyu trains soldiers according to the way Fifth Uncle trains soldiers. Here… you don’t have the convenience of Shen Liangyu selecting good talents in the army. You need to be flexible and follow my training method to train a winning force that can compete with the Tiger Eagle Battalion in terms of combat effectiveness.”
Ji Tingyu didn’t know why, but when he saw the older girl’s eyes as calm as the sea, his heart beat faster for no reason.

Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi had just returned to the capital when they heard from Mrs. Dong that Princess Li Tianfu of Xiliang would move into the Crown Prince’s Palace on the tenth day of April, which was tomorrow.
Bai Qingyan knew very well that Li Tianfu and Lu Tianzhuo were having an affair.
Regardless of whether she is truly loyal to the prince, this matter should be reported to the prince to prevent Li Tianfu from using the prince to cause trouble.
“The invitation from the Crown Prince’s Mansion that day when you left.” Mrs. Dong sat on the couch by the window, holding a teacup. Seeing Bai Qingyan come out after changing his clothes, she put down the teacup and said, “Your mentor, Mr. Guan, spoke for you in front of the Wude Gate that day, and then the Crown Prince also spoke for you. The students in the Imperial College were ashamed. No one will mention you for burning and killing surrendered prisoners in the future.”
“The prince said that the battle was urgent and it was either you or me. If the Xiliang captives were not killed, the Jin army would be destroyed. If you had 200,000 or even 100,000 troops at the time, you would not have killed 100,000 captives.” Dong smiled. “The prince is accompanying the army this time, and no one is more convincing than him.”
When Bai Qingyan returned home, he had already heard Chuntao chattering about all these things.
The mentor stood up and spoke for Bai Qing out of kindness.
Bai Qingyan understood why the prince stood up to speak for her. He was just trying to do her a favor.
“I heard about it from Chuntao when I came back.” Bai Qingyan also sat on the couch by the window, took the teacup handed to him by Chuntao, and asked, “Is there a result in Lu Yuanpeng’s case?”
Chuntao held the black lacquer square plate in front of her lower abdomen, shook her head, and reported softly: “Although the trial has not yet concluded, the old coroner Liu Sanjin found out that Lin Xin’an died of suffocation and had nothing to do with the injuries inflicted by Master Lu. Perhaps because this is not enough to prove that Master Lu did not kill Lin Xin’an, the Dali Temple is still investigating the case, and the results should be out soon.”
“You and Xiao Si didn’t get bullied during your trip back to the clan, did you?” Mrs. Dong was afraid that her daughter had been bullied by the clan leader.
“Don’t worry, mother. No.” Bai Qingyan smiled at Dong. “It won’t be long before someone from the clan comes to present the deed to the ancestral house.”
Mrs. Dong was always confident in her daughter’s work, so she nodded, as long as her daughter didn’t get bullied.
“From now on, mother, there is no need to be so polite to the people of the clan. Grandfather was too polite to the people of the clan, which is why they are so arrogant and arrogant. The people of the clan… are greedy and always want more! Now we are left with only orphans and widows. If we continue to tolerate them, they will think we are afraid of the clan, and they will become even more unscrupulous.”
Dong had long been fed up with the clan’s anger, and nodded: “Mother understands this principle…”
Dong had understood this truth a long time ago, but when her father-in-law Bai Weiting was alive, he repeatedly emphasized how important harmony within the family was to a general’s family that had been in existence for hundreds of years.
Because only when the family is harmonious can the men fighting on the battlefield kill the enemy with all their strength without any worries.
Dong was taught by the old lady Dong since he was young, and he knew how important it was for a family to survive and maintain harmony among the clan.
But what is the difference between a clan like the Bai family of Shuoyang and a hanging wart or something superfluous?
That afternoon, Lu Yuanpeng’s case was solved. Lin Xinan died at the hands of someone else, and Lin Xinan’s biological mother was afraid of death and was coerced into doing so, so she falsely accused Lu Yuanpeng.
According to Lin Xinan’s biological mother, Lin Xinan had taken back five hundred taels of silver from somewhere before, and said that a powerful person asked Lin Xinan to spread the news of Bai Qingyan killing surrendered prisoners in Fanque Tower in order to ruin Bai Qingyan’s reputation.
The third update is over, good night, my dears! Please give me a monthly ticket…
