The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 767: sonorous sound
Chapter 767: The Sound of Sharpness
On the stage at the Shuoyang Martial Arts Arena, Bai Qingping looked around at the fire pots that were moving up and down in the wind, and listened to the fluttering black sails and white python flags, and a sense of heroism suddenly arose in his heart.
It’s a pity that he is powerless and cannot go to the battlefield with Bai Qingyan and fight bloody battles. This is the regret of Bai Qingping’s life.
There were a few brave men in the Bai family who wanted to go to the Daliang battlefield with Bai Qingyan, but they were all prevented from going by their family elders because of filial piety.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves outside the martial arts arena, Bai Qingping turned towards the entrance of the martial arts arena. Until he saw the figure riding a white horse, Bai Qingping hurriedly jumped down from the platform and almost lost his breath and ran towards the entrance of the martial arts arena.
Bai Qingyan was followed by twenty guards from the Bai family. They rode their horses quickly to the stage in the martial arts arena and then pulled the reins.
Bai Qingping was worried about Bai Qingyan’s physical condition and immediately stepped forward, grabbed the reins, and stretched out his hand to help Bai Qingyan get off the horse, but Bai Qingyan shook his head and rode forward with the reins…
She looked around at the five thousand armored soldiers in the martial arts arena, holding heavy shields or spears… or swords, lined up in battle formations, with the momentum of a regular army. The armor on their bodies was reflected by the cold light of the high braziers.
Bai Qingyan pulled the reins, and the horse under him shook its head, snorted heavily, and stood in front of the reviewing platform.
The entire training ground was solemn and silent, and the eyes of the five thousand soldiers were all looking at the silver-armored woman riding on the tall horse.
“Before, we gathered here to suppress bandits… to prevent those bandits in the mountains from robbing our people! But today… we are going on an expedition to Daliang, and what we are facing are not bandits, but Daliang’s well-trained army! Yesterday, the news that I would lead the Shuoyang Army to an expedition to Daliang came out. I heard… some people said that the Shuoyang Army is just a mob that I, Bai Qingyan, gathered together. We can easily defeat the bandits, but we will be beaten to a pulp by the Daliang army!”
“But you! Are my soldiers! Soldiers trained by the Bai family! There are no cowards in my Bai family! My Bai family’s soldiers…will never be cowards! We defeated the bandits easily, and we will also defeat Daliang easily!” Bai Qingyan raised his hand and pointed at the black sail and white python flags that had been replaced around the martial arts field. “The Bai family army has never been defeated. The only time they were almost wiped out was because they died in a dirty conspiracy of their own people! Even so… my Bai family and the Bai family army’s determination to protect the people has never changed!”
“Someone asked! Since the Bai Family Army is to protect the people, why… do they have to go on an expedition to Daliang and conquer other countries! Today… I will tell you why! For… the unification of the world! For the end of wars in the world! For… there will no longer be the miserable scene of nine out of ten houses being empty, wives and children being separated, grain fields being abandoned, and bones being left unburied! The Bai Family Army wants to protect the Taiping Mountains and Rivers, and to guard the people of the world! We will not die in battle, and we will not take off our armor! Do you dare to sacrifice your lives with me?”
Bai Qingyan’s voice was majestic and heavy, shocking everyone.
After hearing what Bai Qingyan said, Cai Ziyuan was very excited. Although he was just a scholar, he wanted to take up his sword and fight with Bai Qingyan on the battlefield.
“I won’t take off my armor until I die in battle!”
“I won’t take off my armor until I die in battle!”
“I won’t take off my armor until I die in battle!”
The loud shouts of the soldiers reached the sky and shook the earth.
The morning sun jumped out of the layers of clouds, the morning light gradually grew stronger, the dazzling golden light slowly spread from east to west, illuminating the vast land and the ancient and solid city walls of Shuoyang.
Bai Qingyan led five thousand soldiers and marched towards the outside of Shuoyang City in a mighty manner.
The people crowded around both sides of the long street, and people were standing on the top of the restaurant, vying to see off this princess who dragged her sick body to fight for the country…
Even the girls in the brothel gathered on the top of the pavilion, leaning half of their bodies out, wanting to catch a glimpse of the beauty of this princess.
The former Magistrate of Zhou County, now the Governor of Zhou, ordered the runners to stop the people on both sides of the street, while he stood in the front, pretending to be seeing them off with tears in his eyes. He looked at Bai Qingyan, who was riding in the front, and shouted loudly with sobs: “Princess Zhenguo, please take care of yourself. We, the people of Shuoyang, are still waiting for you to lead us to suppress the bandits!”
When Bai Qingyan didn’t answer, County Magistrate Zhou picked up his official robe, trotted after her for a few steps, and bowed to the ground: “Farewell, Princess Zhenguo! I wish Princess Zhenguo a triumphant return! Let’s enhance the prestige of our Jin State!”
The Xiliang dancer named Nakang seemed to be woken up. She pushed open the window in a gauze dress, shielded her face with a round fan, frowned and looked downstairs with dissatisfaction. But when she saw the woman riding a white horse in front, wearing a shining silver armor and showing a cold light, she slowly lowered the round fan in her hand that was covering half of her face, and stared at her for a while…
The dignity and aura of that woman were not like the ostentatiousness of the dignitaries who came to the brothels, but a kind of nobility that was not afraid of life or death and looked down on all living beings.
Na Kang chased Bai Qingyan’s figure barefoot and pushed open another window. There seemed to be some sonorous and murderous music in her mind suddenly. She kept chasing Bai Qingyan’s figure unconsciously. Her eyes were full of heat, and the knuckles of her fingers that were clasping on the window frame were white.
She remembered a line from ancient Chinese literature her mother had taught her: “When you look back, the wind and clouds are here; when you glance back, the mountains are flattened.” This kind of momentum must be referring to a hero like the Princess Zhenguo.
Na Kang pushed open all the carved window frames on the roof until there were no more windows left to push. She could only see a large army marching out in formation, and could no longer see the sharp and majestic figure. She then suppressed her pounding heart, turned around, ran to the bedside, and took down her pipa.
He turned the axis and plucked the strings, and the sonorous and sharp sound in his mind just now burst out from his fingertips, attracting the people downstairs to look up in the direction of the brothel with open windows.

Quan Yu rode at full speed back to the capital city, and went to see the prince without even having time to drink a sip of water.
The prince had just woken up from Hongmei’s gentle embrace and was being helped to change his clothes by Hongmei. He was about to go to the study to review the state affairs that he had sorted out last night before attending the morning court. He heard that Quanyu had returned and said that he had an extremely urgent matter and wanted to see the prince.
The prince, who was holding Hongmei’s soft and slender waist, was suddenly startled, thinking that something had happened to Bai Qingyan. He quickly pushed Hongmei away, took his cloak, and walked out while buttoning his clothes.
Hongmei snorted at the prince’s back, flicked her sleeves and lay back on the bed to rest.
Quan Yu was outside Hongmei’s courtyard, rubbing his hands together. He kept thinking about how he would tell the prince that Bai Qingyan had dragged his sick body and led the soldiers trained in Shuoyang to Daliang.
If this matter is not told well, the Crown Prince would think…Princess Zhenguo disobeyed orders and sent troops on her own, making the Crown Prince think that Princess Zhenguo holds military power and is self-reliant.
