The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 750: traitor
Chapter 750 Traitor
Shen Baizhong looked at Bai Qingyan carefully and felt that she seemed very similar to the girl named Bai Suqiu in his memory, but he could not remember the girl’s facial features.
Bai Qingyan spoke up to explain: “Bai Suqiu is my aunt, and I am the daughter of Bai Qishan, Bai Qingyan.”
Hearing the name Bai Qishan, Shen Baizhong was a little absent-minded and raised his hand to hold his head… He remembered that there seemed to be something extremely important that he had to tell this person named Bai Qishan!
But… what’s the news?!
“Where is the man from Baiqi Mountain?” Shen Baizhong asked. Perhaps he would remember him when he saw this person.
When asked about her father, Bai Qingyan still felt bitter after the great sorrow, but she was no longer as emotionally unstable as before. She was very calm inside. She pursed her lips and said, “My father is gone.”
Shen Baizhong was slightly stunned.
Bai Qingyan nodded towards Shen Baizhong, turned around and walked out of the side room with Zhenming, told the steward to settle Shen Baizhong down, and then returned to Qinghui Courtyard.
Although she was anxious to know what happened from Shen Baizhong, the past did not mean that much to her. She was not bogged down by numerous doubts. What Bai Qingyan wanted to do now… was to look forward.

On the second day, before daybreak, Bai Qingyan was already on his way back to Shuoyang.
The prince was going to attend the court early in the morning, so he sent Quan Yu to the Duke of Zhenguo’s mansion to see Bai Qingyan off.
After sending Bai Qingyan to the carriage, Quan Yu bowed to Bai Qingyan and said, “I know that Princess Zhenguo is loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Don’t worry, Your Royal Highness, here… Quan Yu will definitely not let others stir up the friendship between Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Zhenguo!”
Bai Qingyan’s jade-white hands lifted the curtain, looking at Quan Yu, who had a handsome face and clear eyes, and nodded to him with a smile: “Thank you, Eunuch Quan Yu.”
“This is what a servant should do!” Quan Yu took a step back and bowed again, “Farewell, Princess Zhenguo!”
In Quan Yu’s heart, Bai Qingyan is a hero, and a true hero who is better than many men in the world. He does not want to see such a hero being harmed by villains and losing the trust of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
“Sister, be careful on your journey!” Bai Jinxiu’s eyes were red.
“Don’t worry, elder sister, I will take good care of grandma!” Bai Jinse also said.
Bai Qingyan nodded and lowered the curtain.
“Let’s go…”
The leading Bai family guard shouted, and the convoy slowly moved, with the accompanying guards walking in orderly steps.
On February 18, the convoy, which had been moving slowly all the way, finally arrived near Kongtong Mountain. Bai Qingyan sent someone to send a letter back to Shuoyang, informing his mother that they would arrive in Shuoyang City around noon tomorrow and would rest in Kongtong Mountain tonight.
After nightfall, the inn was silent, with only a bright moon in the sky and silver frost covering the ground.
Bai Qingyan sat under the lamp, looking carefully at the map of Daliang, wondering where Bai Jinzhi and Liu Hong were leading their troops. Suddenly, he heard a very faint sound of footsteps tapping on tiles from the roof.
Bai Qingyan raised his head and looked towards the roof, moving his eyes in the direction of the sound.
“Cuckoo…Cuckoo…”
The Bai family’s secret guards protecting the surroundings sent a message that there was a visitor.
Bai Qingyan’s men quickly collected the map and blew out the candle in the lampshade, turning off the light to signal the secret guard that she knew.
He then pulled out the short-handled knife hidden in his boot, tiptoed behind the window frame, with a calm look in his eyes, he slowly pushed the window frame open a crack with the sharp blade of the short knife, and quietly looked out the window at the wooden corridor illuminated by the clear light.
There seemed to be two or three people coming. They hooked the eaves lightly and jumped onto the corridor. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. The wooden floor made a very slight creaking sound. Bai Qingyan leaned against the wall with his short knife tightly in his hand.
The Bai family’s secret guards and bodyguards were not unaware of the intrusion, but they followed the old routine and notified everyone before waiting to catch the turtle in the jar and catch him alive before asking who sent these people… and what they were sent for.
At this time, the guards of the Bai family who had just laid down had already stood up, picked up their knives and quietly lurked in various escape routes.
There were only three people coming. They squatted down very carefully, two of them hid under the window frames, and one hid behind the vermilion red pillar in the corridor. Bai Qingyan looked at the elongated shadows in the wooden corridor and the one who led the group made gestures.
Bai Qingyan didn’t take the three people seriously and closed the dagger.
Hearing the sound, the assassin under the window tensed up all of a sudden. He raised his hand and held his breath to listen to the movement in the house. He realized that the person in the house seemed to be about to come out and had already walked to the door…
The three assassins placed their hands on the swords at their waists, staring at the door not far away with hawk-like eyes.
The carved wooden door was opened, and Bai Qingyan, dressed in a frosty suit, stepped out of the room. He turned around and looked at the assassin hiding under the window and behind the vermilion red pillar, his eyes dark and cold.
The assassin hiding behind the vermilion pillar reacted very quickly. When he saw Bai Qingyan coming out, he drew his sword and rushed towards Bai Qingyan without saying a word.
The sharp blade gleamed coldly under the moonlight, as fast as lightning in the night, but before it got close to Bai Qingyan, it was caught by a faster sword.
The secret guard was ready to die, raised his sleeves… and a hidden weapon with green light rushed towards Bai Qingyan, but he was stabbed through the heart by the Bai family guards.
But the assassin never expected that Bai Qingyan, who looked frail and was rumored to be half dead, moved his feet and easily dodged his hidden weapon by turning sideways.
Seeing this, the other two assassins drew their swords and attacked the Bai family’s secret guards who suddenly appeared. However, they did not expect that the sound of killing would shake the sky. The Bai family’s guards rushed out from all directions, some even wearing only underwear, all swearing to protect Bai Qingyan to the death.
The assassin, who was stabbed in the chest by a sword, had not yet reacted when a cold light swept across his neck, and blood mist splattered immediately.
He stared at Bai Qingyan with his eyes fixed, his facial features twisted as he was dying. He never understood until his death how could Bai Qingyan, the Princess of the Nation who was said to be so weak that she could die at any time, dodge his hidden weapon? !
Could it be that there was a traitor among the three of them? ! The Princess of Zhenguo had been prepared…
Before the assassin could figure it out, he died.
The guards of the Bai family gathered around Bai Qingyan, put Bai Qingyan in the middle, and took a few steps back.
Bai Qingyan’s eyes were calm and his expression was calm as he retreated with the guards.
The four secret guards of the Bai family fought with the two assassins. Silver lights intersected, golden swords collided, and every move was murderous and ferocious. It seemed that the two assassins were fighting to the death and had no intention of leaving alive.
Bai Qingyan stood aside with a calm expression, watching the steps and moves of the two assassins, and he already had a vague idea in his mind… He knew that these three assassins were probably the death squads raised by Prince Nandu Xian, but now Prince Nandu Xian and Liu Ruofu were dead, so whose orders were they following to kill her?
Suddenly, Bai Qingyan’s ears moved, and he turned his head to look at the blue-tiled eaves with carved animals opposite. Under the huge bright moon, he saw a silhouette of a tall man standing on the eaves, with a bow and arrow aimed at this direction, and he had already released the arrow…
