The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 578: Can’t be messed up
Chapter 578 No Chaos
Not to mention that the queen is pregnant with… a legitimate child who is the reincarnation of a divine deer. If the queen really has any intentions, he will probably be killed on his way back!
The prince clenched his trembling hands tightly and hid them in his sleeves, afraid that others would see his fear.
He is the prince, he can be afraid but he cannot show it.
The prince kept calm and thought quietly. The Dengzhou army had indeed suffered a crushing defeat this time. If the Dengzhou army followed him back to the capital, Dengzhou would be empty. The only one that could be mobilized was the Anping camp.
Bai Qingyan shook his head as soon as the prince finished speaking, and said in a deep voice: “The convoy is too slow. Let Eunuch Quan Yu lead the convoy first. Your Highness the Crown Prince and I will rush to the Anping camp to prevent the treacherous people in the capital from getting ahead of Your Highness… and mobilizing the Anping army under the order of Your Majesty to do something unfavorable to Your Highness. I am afraid that even if we set off now, it will be too late and we cannot delay any longer.”
“Then…Princess Zhenguo will go first!” said the prince.
“No!” Dong Qingyue also spoke, his eyes calm, “The Princess Zhenguo is not the Crown Prince. Even if it is the Crown Prince’s order, General Fu may not dare to transfer troops to the Princess Zhenguo! I’m afraid the Crown Prince himself will have to come.”
The prince’s throat was churning and his eyes were a little vague. He still couldn’t calm down, but his gaze fell on Bai Qingyan, who was as calm and composed as ever. His heart was like a hot summer day that had been stuffy for months. Suddenly, there was a thunder and he suddenly woke up.
This was not the time to be pretentious. As Bai Qingyan said, if he failed to take control of the Anping camp first, the people in the capital would accuse him of treason. Not only would he have no room to protect himself, but even the Crown Princess who was pregnant with his child would not be spared.
Only if he has soldiers in his hands, at least the people in Dadu City will be afraid of him and wait for him to return quietly. It would be good if the Queen of Dadu City and Prince Liang did not have any intention of rebellion. If they really had some thoughts that they shouldn’t have, he still had a chance.
“Okay! Let’s ride fast!” The prince nodded.
Seeing that the prince had made up his mind, Dong Qingyue shouted, “Prepare the horses!”
Bai Qingyan said to Dong Qingyue, “Uncle has urgent matters. This time I will go back to the capital directly from the military camp with the Crown Prince, so I will not go back to the Dong Mansion to say goodbye to my grandmother. Please ask my uncle to apologize to my grandmother on my behalf.”
Dong Qingyue stared into Bai Qingyan’s inky black eyes, and in just a moment he understood what Bai Qingyan meant. As soon as Bai Qingyan finished speaking, Dong Qingyue looked at the prince and said, “We are going to Anping Camp. If there are any changes in Anping Camp, it may endanger the safety of His Royal Highness. In this way… Changmao!”
Dong Qingyue turned around and called Dong Changmao.
“Father!” Dong Changmao stepped forward with his fists clasped.
“Select three thousand men to follow the prince and protect him. If anything happens in the Anping camp, you must protect the prince and bring him back to Dengzhou!” Dong Qingyue ordered solemnly.
Without waiting for Dong Changmao to respond, Bai Qingyan said, “Uncle, Changmao’s injuries have not healed yet, and I’m afraid he can’t withstand the torment of the attack! Uncle needs to stay in Dengzhou to guard against the Ghost-faced General of Nanrong! If there is a change in Anping Camp as uncle said, Changmao’s serious injuries have not healed and put His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in danger. If uncle trusts Lupin… let Lupin lead these 3,000 people. If the trip to Anping Camp goes smoothly, let Lupin take the people back to Dengzhou! But uncle also needs to be prepared for the worst, at least let the Crown Prince have the Dengzhou army temporarily available, and then transfer the Bai Family Army in Southern Xinjiang when there is time.”
Bai Qing spoke quickly and steadily, and it was obvious that he had a plan in place, and the prince felt more at ease.
“Lupin and I once served in the Bai family’s army. I trust Lupin. What do you think, Your Highness?” Dong Qingyue looked at the prince and asked respectfully.
Lupin clasped his fists and saluted the prince.
“Just follow what the Princess Zhenguo says!” The prince looked at Bai Qingyan with a serious expression, “I… can trust the Princess Zhenguo and Lord Dong!”
Bai Qingyan and Dong Qingyue bowed deeply to the prince. They both knew that the prince did not trust Bai Qingyan and Dong Qingyue, but he had to trust Bai Qingyan and Dong Qingyue because of the situation.
Dong Qingyue held the sword at his waist and shouted to the generals on the stage: “Sound the horn! Invite the troops!”
On the command platform, low and solemn trumpets sounded.
Several dark horses, led by a man, came galloping from the other end of the military camp, with dust billowing.
The whole camp was suddenly in an uproar. Upon hearing the signal, the armored soldiers immediately picked up their spears and heavy shields and gathered in the training ground in an orderly manner in the chaos.
The prince swallowed his saliva and looked at the dusty training ground. The soldiers looked hurried and ran to gather.
Even though the prince had led troops to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang before, he was in the rear while Bai Qingyan was fighting to the death in the front. He had never really seen such a scene. At first glance… the soldiers were running together in the dust, and the sounds of footsteps, roars, horses neighing and horns mixed together, making people’s ears buzz, as if as long as they opened their mouths, they would eat a mouthful of sand and gravel.
When the prince saw this scene, he was afraid that the horses passing through the camp would trample someone, so he kept backing away. He became more and more panicked, and looked at Bai Qingyan involuntarily, but saw that Bai Qingyan had a solemn expression, and was discussing with Dong Qingyue about how to rush to help if there was a riot in the Anping camp.
Bai Qingyan said to Dong Qingyue: “Uncle needs to be prepared for war at any time. If there is any change in Anping Camp, uncle will be needed to lead troops to rescue His Highness and suppress Anping Camp! There is chaos in Dadu, and we must not let the border of Jin State be in trouble again, otherwise Jin State will be in danger!”
Dong Qingyue nodded: “The smoke signals are a signal! I will have people keep an eye on the movements of the Anping camp!”
A dozen dark war horses came through the camp. The leader jumped down, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, “Your Highness, Princess, General, we are here!”
“Then I’ll leave it to you, uncle!” Bai Qingyan said, pulling the reins of the horse and looking at the prince with sweat on his forehead: “Your Highness! Get on the horse!”
The prince then responded hurriedly and stepped forward to grab the reins. Perhaps because he was too nervous, his feet on the stirrups slipped down.
“Your Highness!” Bai Qingyan grabbed the prince’s arm, and seeing that he was already panicking, he squeezed it tightly and supported him, “Your Highness, you are the crown prince! The more chaotic the situation is, the more you must not panic! Yan… will definitely fight to the death to protect your Highness! Your Highness, trust me! You must also trust that Master Tan and Grandmother can temporarily stabilize Dadu for your Highness, and wait for your Highness to rush back to the capital to take charge of the overall situation.”
The prince swallowed his saliva, nodded, and was helped onto the horse by Bai Qingyan.
“Lupin, stay and collect the troops. I will go out of the city with the prince to make arrangements. You will follow with the troops!” Bai Qingyan ordered.
“Lupin, I obey your command!” Lupin clasped his fists.
“Bai family guards! Get on the horses!” Bai Qingyan shouted and jumped onto the horse.
The personal guards who followed the prince also mounted their horses.
“Cousin!” Dong Changmao suddenly shouted and threw the silver spear he had ordered to be brought to Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan took the gun and looked in the direction of Dong Changmao.
