Chapter 537: The Sound of Killing
Bai Qingyan and Dong Changlan looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
“Abao is leaving the day after tomorrow. Master should let Abao spend more time with his mother! Why are you in such a hurry to call Abao to the study?” Cui frowned.
As soon as Cui finished speaking, she heard Old Lady Dong, who had just finished a piece of dessert, say, “You guys go!”
Old Lady Dong took the hot towel handed to her by Nanny Wang and wiped her hands, then handed over the hot tea and said with a smile, “Your aunt and sister-in-law will be there to talk with me! Go… don’t delay the business!”
Bai Qingyan stood up and bowed to Old Lady Dong before going out with Dong Changlan to Dong Qingyue’s study.
The reason why Dong Qingyue was so anxious to call Bai Qingyan and Dong Changlan over was because a spy reported that the Dayan wedding party was ambushed by the Nanrong on the way, and the Dayan wedding party had already sent people to the Dengzhou Army and Anping Camp for help. The reinforcements from Dayan were now at Dong’s house.
Bai Qingyan glanced at the map hanging in Dong Qingyue’s study, gently pointed at the place where the spy reported that the Great Yan wedding party was attacked, and frowned: “Great Yan has borrowed the road from Jin to send the bride, why not go through the border between Jin and Daliang, through Chunmu Mountain to Rongdi, but instead go through such a big circle, through the border between Jin and Nanrong and then to Beirong, isn’t this… giving Nanrong a chance?”
Bai Qingyan was puzzled and didn’t understand why Emperor Yan… or Xiao Rongyan chose this path for the marriage. Could it be that he wanted to find out the military strength of Jin State on its border and prepare to swallow up Jin State in the future?
But logically speaking, what Dayan should explore most now is not the military strength of Jin. Dayan is preparing to unify the world with its accumulated strength. According to its geographical location, it should first destroy Wei and Xiliang, then Jin, and finally Daliang…
He would never destroy Jin first and put Dayan in a state of being attacked from all sides.
That means they want to test the military strength of the Southern Rong. Could it be that… Dayan wants to swallow up the Southern Rong as well?
Bai Qingyan suddenly raised his eyes. Could it be that Dayan was trying to… draw an accurate topographic map down to earth?
Dong Qingyue held a teacup in his hand, looked up at Bai Qingyan and Dong Changlan standing in front of the sedan chair, and said, “According to your opinion… should we save him or not?”
“I think we should save him. Now that Great Yan is holding the legitimate son of the Yan Emperor hostage in Jin, they are passing through Jin to present a generous gift, and they are also asking for Jin’s protection. If father does not save him this time…if there is a problem in the diplomatic relations between the two countries, I am afraid that the emperor will blame father for it!” Dong Changlan turned his head and looked at Dong Qingyue and said, “If father is assured, let son lead the troops to go!”
The counselors sitting in Dong Qingyue’s study also nodded and said, “We can rescue the princess of Dayan first, and then send someone to deliver a memorial to Dadu to ask His Majesty how to deal with it. This will also make Dayan and Beirong owe us a favor.”
“What does Abao mean?” Dong Qingyue asked, looking at Bai Qingyan’s slender and tall back.
“Save him!” Bai Qingyan turned around and looked at Dong Qingyue with a gloomy look. “If I don’t save him… how do I know what Dayan’s purpose is? I will go with the Bai family guards and Chang Lan.”
Speed is of the essence in war. Dong Qingyue ordered his troops to go out of the city to rescue, and Dong Changlan immediately went to the military camp to inspect the troops.
Bai Qingyan ordered someone to notify the Bai family guards to change their armor and wait outside the Dong Mansion, and then returned to Old Lady Dong’s courtyard to ask Chuntao to prepare the armor. She briefly told Old Lady Dong and Mrs. Cui that she was going out of the city to rescue people, then returned to the room, untied the iron sandbags wrapped around her body, and asked Chuntao to change her armor.
When Old Lady Dong heard that Bai Qingyan was going out of the city to rescue people from the Rongdi people, she couldn’t sit still at all.
Although Bai Qingyan had won great victories in all his battles, Old Lady Dong was still worried. She hurried out, leaning on her crutches and helped by Mrs. Cui and Little Mrs. Cui.
Nanny Wang hurriedly opened the curtain, and as Old Madam Dong stepped out of the inner room, she saw Bai Qingyan, wearing silver armor and tying wrist guards, walking out of the room.
The orange sunset, which had already set, reflected on Bai Qingyan’s chilling armor. Every step he took was filled with murderous intent, a fierce murderous aura that only people who had experienced hundreds of battles and fought in countless bloody battles could have. It was restrained but sharp, which was breathtaking.
This was the first time that Old Lady Dong had seen Bai Qingyan’s courage. She was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time.
She fastened her wrist guard, bowed in the direction of Old Lady Dong, and turned to walk out of the courtyard.
Little Cui looked at Bai Qingyan’s back and subconsciously clenched Old Lady Dong’s arm: “Cousin…it turns out that you have such courage to go to the battlefield.”
Old Lady Dong came back to her senses, hurriedly took two steps outside with her cane, and shouted at Bai Qingyan’s back, “Abao! Be careful!”
Lupin was wearing armor and leading his guards outside the Dong Mansion. He stood beside his horse and saw Bai Qingyan, who was wearing silver armor and holding a sun-shooting bow, leading the Dayan soldiers who came to ask for help and stepped out of the Dong Mansion. Lupin immediately stepped forward and said, “Miss, the Bai family guards are all here!”
“Get on the horse! Meet up with the Dengzhou army outside the city!” Bai Qingyan walked quickly down the steps, jumped on the horse, grabbed the reins, squeezed the horse’s belly, and galloped out.
“Bai family guards! Get on your horses! Get out of the city!” Lupin shouted, jumped on his horse, and chased after Bai Qingyan.
Outside the gate of Dengzhou City, Dong Changlan had counted a thousand men and horses, and almost went out of the city together with Bai Qingyan, asking for help from the Yan soldiers who were leading the way, and a thousand Dengzhou soldiers and the Bai family guards followed on fast horses.
The western mountains were left with only a hint of twilight in the sky, and the sky above the grassland was starry, quiet and mysterious. At this time, near the border between Jin and Southern Rong, the guards led by Xiao Rongyan and the guards sent by Yan were fighting desperately with the elite troops of Southern Rong.
The wedding carriage of Princess Mingcheng of Dayan, which was decorated with red and colorful ribbons, had been set on fire. The flames were running high and low, and the elm wood was smoked black and crackling.
The darkness, like a man-eating beast, had quickly taken over most of the sky.
Arrows whistled, swords clashed, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Nearly 3,000 elite soldiers of the Southern Rong faced the wedding escort team of the Great Yan. More than half of the 300 soldiers of the Great Yan had been killed or wounded. Yue Shi fought desperately with the secret guards brought by Xiao Rongyan.
Yue Shi was covered in blood. The sticky blood stuck to his clothes, making it so heavy that he had difficulty lifting his sword. However, he persisted with his strong willpower, trying to fight his way out.
The three thousand elite Rongdi soldiers surrounded the princess, and the encirclement was shrinking. Fiery arrows flew in from outside the heavy shields and went straight into the curtain of Princess Mingcheng’s carriage. A very tiny blue flame fell from the arrow, and the round spot of flaming oil was like an elderly but steady old man, gnawing at the wooden plank bit by bit.
The curtain pierced by the arrow was silent for a moment, and then suddenly flames burst out, scaring the maids and servants in the carriage to scream.
The cool wind on the grassland blew from south to north, lifting the curtains of the carriage with fire…
