The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 406: Safety
Chapter 406 Peace
The steward of Xihuai Palace smiled and said to Yue Shi: “Mr. Xiao used the Five Stones Powder, so we have to disperse it well and take good care of Mr. Xiao.”
Yue Shi clenched his fists at his side, still with that stern look on his face, and bowed: “Thank you for letting me know.”
As soon as he got on the carriage, the drunken Xiao Rongyan closed his eyes. His expression no longer had the intoxicated look from drinking too much. The carriage swayed out of the palace. Yue Shi jumped onto Xiao Rongyan’s carriage and whispered, “Master, we are coming out of the palace!”
Xiao Rongyan opened his eyes, pulled out the wooden barrel from the carriage, and pressed on his abdomen to induce vomiting.
Yue Shi picked up the teacup and handed it to Xiao Rongyan, eyes full of anger.
Every time the master comes to Wei, he is tortured half to death. In recent years, the nobles of Wei, led by King Xihuai, have actually started to take Wu Shi San.
After eating this thing, people will feel otherworldly, as if they have ascended to heaven, so it is extremely popular among the nobles of the Wei Dynasty. However, this thing is definitely harmful to the human body, and many people have died from eating this thing.
However, in the State of Wei… everyone who was friendly with King Xihuai touched this thing, and every time the master would drink it only at the very last moment, and would induce vomiting as soon as he left the door.
Sometimes, if I couldn’t induce vomiting in time, I would have to pour cold water on myself after returning home, which was extremely painful.
This is why Yue Shi was unwilling to come to Wei State, because he felt that his master was suffering too much because of the Five-Stone Powder.
After vomiting, Xiao Rongyan rinsed his mouth with tea, and while he was still in a trance, he reminded Yue Shi: “The Prime Minister of Wei has sent people to check whether there are soldiers hiding in the valley of Dayan. Send someone to send a letter back quickly, and have someone buy iron ore from merchants from various countries at a high price in Dayan. Be sure to… let the people sent by the Prime Minister of Wei know about this matter quickly! And you must stabilize the people on the border of Dayan!”
What King Xihuai said just now, about the smoke billowing from the valley in the middle of the night in the territory of Dayan, was actually a deliberate trick by Xiao Rongyan.
Now we can only delay for a while. Now the news that Wei is about to attack Yan is deliberately spread to Yan. As long as the people on the border of Yan remain stable, Wei will not dare to attack Yan easily.
As long as we can delay until Xie Xun returns from Rongdi, everything will be fine.
Xiao Rongyan suddenly remembered the news he received yesterday, saying that Bai Qingyan had already begun to recruit people in Shuoyang and was preparing to train troops to suppress bandits.
He closed his eyes and could guess that Bai Qingyan wanted to use the civilians as soldiers and make plans for the future.
Really… a long-term vision.
But he had other plans through this incident. If he could train the border residents of Dayan into soldiers, with the people as soldiers and the soldiers as people, Dayan would not be afraid of any invasion from any country.
Regarding this matter, I need to write a letter to my brother and get it done as soon as possible.

May 9th.
Bai Qingyan received another battle report on Chunmu Mountain early in the morning. Xun Tianzhang’s method was just as Bai Qingyan had expected. He was unwilling to sacrifice the lives of his soldiers and deliberately designed a plan to lure General Zhang Duanrui into a trap. The five thousand soldiers sent by General Zhang Duanrui and the two thousand people from Daliang were buried in the valley.
However, Zhang Duanrui lost too many troops in this battle and decided to stay in the city and refuse to fight, which made Xun Tianzhang very angry.
Bai Qingyan burned the battle report in his hand.
General Zhang Duanrui has always been able to keep his composure, and the stalemate between the two armies may not be a bad thing. However, if General Zhang Duanrui could send people to attack the Daliang military camp at night at this time, and use the method that Xun Tianzhang used to defeat Xun Tianzhang, he could definitely force the Liang army out of Chunmu Mountain.
But… based on Bai Qingyan’s understanding of General Zhang Duanrui’s way of marching and fighting, General Zhang Duanrui would never make any move until he was absolutely sure, so as to avoid the death of more Jin soldiers.
Bai Qingyan had just finished her breakfast after bathing when Nanny Tong quickly entered the main room. After bowing, she said, “Miss, someone is coming from the palace! Let our fourth young lady go and receive the imperial decree immediately.”
Someone came from the palace at this time and asked Xiao Si to receive the order?
Bai Qingyan, who was reading a book, raised his eyes, his eyes darkened, he put down the book, stood up and led people to the front yard.
Bai Jinzhi was very excited about the military training that would begin tomorrow. He was selecting suitable weapons and clothes in the house, preparing to show his skills in the martial arts arena tomorrow. He was determined to train the civilians into brave soldiers like the Bai family army.
Unexpectedly, before she had finished choosing the clothes, a message came from the front yard saying that the emperor’s edict had arrived, and asked Bai Jinzhi to go and receive it immediately.
Bai Jinzhi, who was holding the rough cloth training clothes in his hand, thought he had heard wrongly and asked again: “You want me to go and receive the order? Not your elder sister?”
Even Bai Jinzhi could guess that the imperial edict came at this time because of the Chunmu Mountain incident. But as the battle in Chunmu Mountain was getting tense, shouldn’t the emperor send his eldest sister to fight immediately?
“It’s the Fourth Young Lady!” Lingzhi beside Bai Jinzhi said with certainty, “The message came from the front yard. I thought I heard it wrong, so I asked several times. Young Lady, please hurry up! The eunuch who delivered the message is still waiting outside!”
Bai Jinzhi nodded and trotted towards the front yard.
Receiving the imperial edict was a big deal, so Dong and several other ladies of the Bai family arrived at the main gate of the Bai Mansion, bowed respectfully and listened to the imperial edict.
Third Madam Li’s heart was pounding. She didn’t know what the emperor was up to and why he suddenly issued an imperial decree to Bai Jinzhi alone.
When Third Lady Li heard that the emperor wanted Bai Jinzhi to rush to Chunmu Mountain alone to assist General Zhang Duanrui in repelling Daliang, she almost fainted.
Bai Qingyan raised his head to glance at the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, and his hands at his side slowly tightened.
Sending Bai Jinzhi to Chunmu Mountain to assist Zhang Duanrui in defeating Daliang? Did the court really have no one to use?
She could vaguely guess the emperor’s intention of sending Xiao Si to Chunmu Mountain. The emperor was probably hoping that she could find a way to repel the Liang soldiers in Chunmu Mountain, but he didn’t want her to make any more military achievements, so he sent Xiao Si to Chunmu Mountain.
Xiao Si is her sister. If she wants Xiao Si to be safe, she will definitely give Xiao Si advice behind the scenes.
Seeing Bai Jinzhi accept the imperial edict with an expression of disbelief, Third Madam Li lost her temper and asked, “Is there something wrong with this imperial edict, eunuch? Let Princess Gaoyi go alone? Princess Gaoyi is still a child!”
Dong held Li’s hand, signaling her to keep calm, and smilingly asked Nanny Qin to give some silver to the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict.
The eunuch squeezed his rich purse, then smiled and said, “I dare not forge the imperial edict. Princess Gaoyi is the granddaughter of King Zhenguo. His Majesty must value Princess Gaoyi so he issued this decree. Princess Gaoyi, please don’t disappoint His Majesty’s expectations!”
After seeing the eunuch off, Bai Jinzhi turned around holding the imperial edict and saw Bai Qingyan’s face was livid. She called out cautiously, “Elder sister!”
“Let’s talk about it when we get back.” Bai Qingyan said to Bai Jinzhi.
In the main hall of the Bai family, Li couldn’t sit still anymore and said in a very loud voice: “What medicine did this emperor take wrong? How old is Xiao Si? He actually wants Xiao Si to go to Chunmu Mountain, and he even emphasizes one person! And immediately!”
“The emperor emphasized one person because he was afraid that I would go with Xiao Si.” Bai Qingyan spoke slowly.
The third update is finished. I heard that the monthly tickets will be doubled starting today!
