Chapter 627 Comprehensive
“Prince Xin has this possibility, and it’s not impossible for others, such as Nandu Princess Liu Ruofu and Nandu soldiers… They came to the capital city with their families to celebrate the wedding of their only Nandu princess!” Bai Qingyan smiled lightly, “And Liu Ruofu is a person who will never let go of any grudge!”
“Is Prince Xian trying to… take advantage of the situation while the mantis stalks the cicada?” Bai Jinse’s face suddenly turned very ugly.
Liu didn’t understand, but seeing the expression on the Seventh Miss Bai Jinse’s face, she knew something was wrong. However, she couldn’t understand what the two children were talking about, so she became even more nervous: “What are you two talking about?”
“Second Aunt, Xiao Qi, don’t worry. If someone comes to the Princess Zhenguo’s Mansion later, Xiao Qi, you should take people to protect Second Aunt and hide in Grandmother’s Changshou Courtyard. No matter what happens, don’t come out! Got it?” After Bai Qingyan finished speaking, he turned around and instructed Chun Tao, “Ask the kitchen to send breakfast over. Second Aunt, Xiao Qi and I will eat here!”
“Yes!” Chuntao responded, opened the curtain and went out to tell the maid to serve breakfast.
After Bai Qingyan finished his breakfast and comforted Liu and Bai Jinse, he had just sent them out of the Qinghuiyuan gate when Lupin came back to report.
“Miss, I have already sent Fu Ruoxi to Anping Camp safely. I have agreed with Fu Ruoxi that if three fireworks are set off above the East Gate of the capital city, he will lead his troops straight into the East Gate!”
As soon as Lupin finished speaking, a secret guard came to report: “Master, there is a movement in Prince Xian’s Mansion. Someone left Prince Xian’s Mansion and went to Liuhuai Lane in the west of the city, bringing at least 300 soldiers to the Princess Zhenguo Mansion!”
Chun Tao’s heart was in her throat and she clutched the handkerchief tightly.
Bai Qingyan calmly ordered: “Order the secret guards to split into two groups. One group will guard outside the Changshou Courtyard of the Grand Princess, and the other group will go to the Qin Mansion to protect the Second Miss. Most of our Bai family guards are in Shuoyang. Most of them will guard the outer gate of the Bai Mansion, and the rest will focus on guarding the Changshou Courtyard! Chuntao, quickly inform the Second Madam and the Seventh Miss, and have them go to the Changshou Courtyard to hide and guard the gate. You are not allowed to leave the courtyard until I come back! The Second Madam and the Seventh Miss will be left to you!”
“Yes!” Chuntao responded and trotted out of Qinghui Courtyard.
“Uncle Ping, stay in the mansion to guard the Second Madam and the Seventh Miss, and send ten good men to follow me out of the mansion…” Bai Qing said.
Bai Qingyan wanted to go out when the soldiers from Nandu were about to arrive at the gate of Bai Mansion and lead the soldiers from Nandu away.
After all, the Nandu Army’s target is Bai Qingyan, and they are also afraid that Bai Qingyan will leave the city and lead the 20,000 soldiers from the Anping camp to protect the prince and the emperor, so that the second aunt and seventh sister in the Bai Mansion can be safe.
“Miss, are you trying to lure away the soldiers from Nandu?!” Lupin immediately understood what Bai Qingyan meant. “Miss, you can’t do that! There are many soldiers from Nandu hiding in the capital city. Miss, you only took ten people out of the mansion. The mansion is safe, but what about your safety? At least let me stay with you!”
“Uncle Ping, don’t worry. I’ll take them on a detour and head to the Prince’s Mansion! The Prince’s Mansion is protected by the patrol battalion, so I’ll be fine! Go and make the arrangements!”
After saying that, Bai Qingyan returned to the upper room of Qinghui Courtyard, untied the sandbag on his body, and changed his armor.
Bai Qingyan did not practice shooting last night or this morning. Although news came one after another that night, she slept well in the second half of the night and was full of energy at the moment.
When Bai Qingyan came out of the main gate of Qinghui Courtyard in military uniform, Lupin was already standing in front of the gate of Qinghui Courtyard with ten selected guards, holding torches high.
Seeing Bai Qingyan leaving, Lupin stepped forward and said, “Miss, I have already chosen the people. I’d better follow you!”
“Uncle Ping is in the Bai Mansion, so I don’t have to worry about anything. Second Aunt and Seventh Sister still need Uncle Ping to protect them!” Bai Qingyan said to Lupin while adjusting his wrist guard, “I still have a lot of things to do. I won’t let anything happen to me, don’t worry.”
Lupin wanted to say something but stopped himself. He could only nod and send Bai Qingyan to the door.
“Boom boom boom—”
Bai Qingyan and his group walked to the main hall and heard someone knocking on the front door.
Lupin and the Bai family guards immediately drew their swords and protected Bai Qingyan behind them.
The guard at the gate looked out from the doorway and saw Yue Shi bowing to the ground and saying, “Mr. Xiao Rongyan, please come to see the Princess Zhenguo!”
The Bai family’s gatekeeper recognized the guard. He was indeed someone close to Xiao Rongyan. Looking further away… Mr. Xiao was standing under the lanterns swaying in the wind in the Princess Zhenguo’s mansion. He had an upright posture and an arrogant demeanor.
The guard at the gate hurried over and saluted, “Miss, it’s Mr. Xiao!”
Bai Qingyan was slightly stunned. Why did Xiao Rongyan come at this time?
“Please come in!” Bai Qingyan said.
The gatekeeper opened the door halfway and invited Xiao Rongyan in.
Xiao Rongyan nodded to express his gratitude to the Bai family guards, and looked at Bai Qingyan, who was dressed in military uniform, with a deep gaze, his brows furrowed and his eyes full of worry.
There is chaos in Dadu today, and Bai Qingyan will be the first to bear the brunt.
Regardless of whether it was Prince Xin or Prince Liang, the first person they wanted to kill was Bai Qingyan, the killing god who supported the crown prince… and was also a military genius.
How could Xiao Rongyan not know Bai Qingyan’s character? Most of the Bai family guards were in Shuoyang, and she would definitely use the rest to protect her relatives!
Sure enough, when Xiao Rongyan saw that there were only eleven people around Bai Qingyan, including Lupin, his face looked very unhappy.
The door of Princess Zhenguo’s mansion closed again, and Lu Ping and others put away their swords and stepped aside.
Xiao Rongyan walked down the high steps holding the hem of his gown. When he was almost in front of Bai Qingyan, he bowed to her and said, “Miss Bai!”
“Mr. Xiao!” Lupin nodded.
“Why are you here at this time, Mr. Xiao?” Bai Qingyan asked.
“Most of the Bai family’s guards have already returned to Shuoyang. I thought that the Bai family might not have enough manpower, so I brought people to help!” Xiao Rongyan pointed at Yue Shi behind him, “Yue Shi, Miss Bai knows, is my personal guard, and she is very skilled! Xiao has been traveling around the countries for many years, and has a group of secret guards around him, who are also very skilled! They act silently, and all of them can be borrowed from Miss Bai!”
Lupin looked at Xiao Rongyan with gratitude, then looked at his eldest daughter, hoping that she would not refuse.
Bai Qingyan knew that Xiao Rongyan was worried about her, so she smiled and nodded: “Then Bai Qingyan…I’ll be here, thank you Mr. Xiao!”
“Everything is in chaos right now, Mr. Xiao, please don’t move around casually. Stay in Bai Mansion first. Mr. Xiao’s secret guards will stay to protect Mr. Xiao, my second aunt, and my seventh sister! Yue Shi… I’ll keep him by my side!” Bai Qingyan said.
Xiao Rongyan’s brows tightened. “I will stay at the Bai family to protect the Second Madam and the Seventh Miss. Please ask Miss Bai to take the secret guards and Yue Shi away. I can guarantee with my life that I will never let the Second Madam and the Seventh Miss get hurt!”
Seeing that Bai Qingyan was about to speak, Xiao Rongyan bowed to Lupin and said, “Guardian Lu, I want to talk to the young lady alone!”
Xiao Rongyan: Well… I finally showed up!
Bai Jinzhi: Brother-in-law, protect my elder sister! TT
