The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 633: Extraordinary
Chapter 633 Extraordinary Majesty
Bai Qingyan looked towards the direction of the imperial palace where the sounds of killing were deafening, without saying a word.
The general guarding the city dared not say a word, he clenched his fists tightly and stood beside Bai Qingyan.
There was an unprecedented bustle in the direction of the imperial palace in the capital city. The sounds of killing, screaming, the sound of swords, and the deafening thud of people banging doors were all mixed together.
This usually bustling capital city seemed to have suddenly lost its voice. Except for the Wude Gate of the Imperial Palace, the whole place was silent, without a trace of birds or insects.
Half an hour later, the sound of killing from the direction of the palace suddenly increased. The general guarding the city lost his temper again and knelt in front of Bai Qingyan: “If the Princess Zhenguo delays any longer, His Majesty and His Highness will be in danger!”
The guards of the Bai family who were hiding in front of the Wude Gate rode back to the East Gate and reported: “Miss, Prince Xian and Prince Liang led their troops to claim that Prince Xin was plotting a rebellion. They are leading their troops into the palace to rescue Your Majesty and the Crown Prince!”
What a high-sounding reason.
I just hope that the Imperial Preceptor Tan and Master Fang who are beside the Crown Prince can understand… If Prince Xian had no rebellious intentions, where would the soldiers come from to enter the palace to rescue him? Tell the patrol battalion to be careful and be on guard, and don’t really believe… Prince Xian’s claim of rescuing him.
“Prince Xian and Prince Liang… are here to rescue the emperor! That’s great! Prince Xian was once a meritorious official who saved the emperor, and he will definitely save Your Majesty and His Highness this time!” The general guarding the city was overjoyed. Finally, he didn’t have to rely on Bai Qingyan alone for the safety of the crown prince and His Majesty.
Bai Qingyan turned around and loudly ordered the Bai family guards: “Go to the Dali Temple and tell Lord Lu that I want all the generals of the Anping camp to come to the east gate of the capital city, set off three fireworks, and summon the soldiers of the Anping camp…”
The general guarding the city looked at Bai Qingyan coldly. Now he knew he was in a hurry to call the soldiers of Anping camp. Just now he knelt down and begged… Bai Qingyan was unmoved. Now he heard that Prince Xian and Prince Liang went to rescue him, and he was probably afraid that the credit would be stolen… That’s why he got anxious!
After the matter has been settled, he will definitely inform the Crown Prince of this matter and ask the Crown Prince to reward Prince Xian and Prince Liang well, and never encourage Bai Qingyan, who only cares about his own achievements and does not care about the lives of the Crown Prince and His Majesty!
Seeing the Anping camp stationed there, there seemed to be dust flying after a while. Bai Qingyan knew that Fu Ruoxi had returned with the soldiers of the Anping camp.
When she turned around, she saw the general guarding the city looking at her with a sneer. She could guess what he was thinking and didn’t want to pay any more attention to him.
However, the deputy general beside the general guarding the city said, “General, do you really think that Prince Xian and Prince Liang are going to rescue the emperor?!”
The general guarding the city was stumped by the question of his own deputy general. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, slapped his forehead, and followed Bai Qingyan.
He was so anxious that he actually thought that Prince Xian and Prince Liang were really going to rescue the emperor! Prince Xian hid the Southern Capital Army in the capital city in advance… This was not a sign of being able to rescue the emperor.
“I’m sorry, Princess Zhenguo, I was just being mean!”
Fu Ruoxi led 20,000 Anping troops galloping away, and saw from afar Bai Qingyan standing alone outside the wide-open main gate of Dadu City waiting for him.
Fu Ruoxi grasped the reins with one hand, kicked the horse’s belly and galloped towards Bai Qingyan.
The general guarding the city on the tower saw that the person riding first from a distance was actually Fu Ruoxi who had lost an arm. He was horrified and shouted, “Princess Zhenguo! Come back to the city quickly! It’s Fu Ruoxi! It’s the traitor Fu Ruoxi!”
The general guarding the city was nervous and shouted loudly: “Archers, get ready!”
Bai Qingyan raised his hand, signaling the general guarding the city not to panic.
But the general guarding the city’s heartbeat was extremely fast, and his hands were tightly clasped on the city wall: “Princess of the country!”
The heartbeat of the general guarding the city did not slow down until he saw Fu Ruoxi take the lead and dismount in front of Bai Qingyan, kneel on one knee, support her knee with her hand, and salute Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan dismounted and helped Fu Ruoxi up: “General Fu, you have worked hard!”
“Princess Zhenguo has given my Fu family a bright future. How could Fu Ruoxi not know this? Twenty thousand soldiers from the Anping camp, listen to the orders of Princess Zhenguo!”

It was already noon, but the capital city was not yet completely bright. Dark clouds were rolling overhead like a dragon, and strong winds were blowing, with the prospect of heavy rain.
Yue Shi, who had been kneeling on the roof of the main gate of the Zhenguo Mansion with a sword in his arms, was like a hawk, alert to all directions.
He suddenly saw the army marching in unison, and it seemed that they were heading towards the Princess Zhenguo’s residence. He quietly moved his body and hid himself behind the roof. He took a quick look, turned his head and shouted to Xiao Rongyan, “There are soldiers heading towards the Princess Zhenguo’s residence, about 500 people!”
The sheepskin lanterns hanging on the high eaves of the Princess Zhenguo’s Mansion were swaying all around. Xiao Rongyan stood in the corridor with an upright figure, his eyes deep and he stood there calmly.
Originally, Xiao Rongyan guessed that Prince Xian and Prince Liang might intend to capture the women of the Bai family to threaten Bai Qingyan, but he didn’t expect that he actually sent people.
Lupin still remembered Bai Qingyan’s instructions when she left, that if there was anything happening in the Princess Zhenguo’s mansion, someone must be sent to inform her, so he quickly turned his head and ordered: “Go tell the young lady!”
The draft whistled through the hall, sounding like a complaint and revealing a gloomy atmosphere.
Xiao Rongyan spoke calmly, calling the man to stop: “Stop!”
The Bai family guard who was about to leave paused and turned with Lupin to look at Xiao Rongyan, whose facial features were angular and cold.
Xiao Rongyan drew out a soft sword from his waist, stood with the sword in his hand, looking murderous and intimidating.
His face was gloomy, and his voice was sonorous and resounding: “Your eldest daughter is in danger ahead, and she is going to do great things. If you want to help her, don’t mess with her mind! Protect the Bai family and the Bai family members for her, and don’t hold her back!”
Lupin always obeyed Bai Qingyan’s orders. Apart from their King Zhenguo, Duke Zhenguo and the eldest daughter, this was the first time Lupin had seen someone with such a compelling aura and extraordinary majesty.
Soon, the sound of orderly footsteps approached.
Lupin clenched his fists and had to admit that what Xiao Rongyan said made sense. He turned around and nodded to the Bai family guards, drew the sword from his waist, and shouted loudly: “We…were all Bai family soldiers. It was because we were seriously injured that the King of Zhenguo and the Duke of Zhenguo took pity on us and allowed us to return to the Bai Mansion as guards! Today…someone wants to attack our Bai family! Everyone…we will fight back and defend the Bai family until our death!”
“Carry the wine, climb up the ladder and hide, don’t make any noise, wait for those rebels to come close, then hit them with wine jars!” A guard squad leader shouted loudly.
Each of the Bai family’s guards carried a jar of wine and climbed up the ladder against the wall. They hid, gritted their teeth, and waited for the rebels who wanted to capture the Bai family. As long as the rebels walked into the alley, they would pour strong liquor on them and then launch rockets.
Fortunately, because the men in the Bai family were not at home before and they were in mourning later, there was a lot of wine stored in the wine cellar, and the courtyard wall was high enough to at least hold out for a while.
“Archers ready!” Lupin shouted.
