The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 823: hello
Chapter 823 Greetings
“Send someone to follow King Xihuai and send back news at any time! Take King Xihuai for a detour when necessary. Tell our people to set out and make sure to meet the Ghost-faced Prince of Rongdi before King Xihuai arrives in Xiangliang. Then… let our people protect King Xihuai!”
Xiao Rongyan paused and continued, “Also, send a message back to Wei. The time has come. Let the secret agent stationed in the Wei court personally meet with the Prime Minister of Wei, Gongsun Chizhong, and tell him… If Prime Minister Gongsun is willing to persuade the Emperor of Wei and the Queen Mother of Wei to surrender to Yan, he can keep his life. Otherwise, since Prime Minister Gongsun has such a close connection with Xiliang by coincidence this time, then let him be convicted of colluding with Xiliang.”
Xiao Rongyan has not yet found out from King Xihuai what kind of deal Gongsun Chizhong has reached with Xiliang. If Gongsun Chizhong refuses to surrender to Yan, it will be too much of a hindrance and he cannot be kept!
The State of Yan had made plans early on and had been preparing for so many years in the State of Wei, putting all its efforts into setting up traps just for this Prime Minister Gongsun.
The Gongsun family of Wei State… is just like the Bai family of Jin State. They are loyal and upright ministers for generations. They are the backbone of a country. Xiao Rongyan admires them…
Admiration is admiration, but the State of Yan has come to this point with great difficulty and cannot afford any mistakes. No matter who becomes a stumbling block… Xiao Rongyan will move them away.
“Yes!” Yue Shi responded, stepped on the tiles and quickly jumped down from the roof, and arranged for people to follow King Xihuai.
Since King Xihuai is determined to live and die with his motherland, if he really tries to make King Xihuai stay in Daliang, perhaps… King Xihuai will regret it for the rest of his life.
Everyone has the right to choose his own destiny. Xiao Rongyan regards King Xihuai as a friend, so he respects his choice.
Just as King Xihuai said, regardless of success or failure in this meeting with the Ghost-faced Prince of Rongdi, when he returns to Wei, he will feel that his mediocre life still has its merits, and he is not just a dandy prince who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.
In Xiao Rongyan’s opinion, King Xihuai is much better at self-awareness than the crown prince of Jin.
If the situation were reversed, the Crown Prince of Jin would surely have weighed his own abilities and begged Xiao Rongyan to help him hide his identity and preserve a trace of the royal bloodline in order to restore the country in the future.
Xiao Rongyan lowered his eyes, stroking the fingers that were hurt by Bai Qingyan yesterday. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and deep in his heart he was looking forward to the day when he could compete with Bai Qingyan.
But today, he was afraid that he would not have the time to say goodbye to Bai Qing.
·
After Bai Qingyan came back from meeting King Xihuai yesterday, he ordered the Bai family guards to chase Shen Qingzhu and tell Shen Qingzhu that there were spies around him and that he must tell his people to be careful…
As long as the Bai family guards conveyed the words to Shen Qingzhu, Shen Qingzhu would understand what Bai Qingyan meant.
Shen Qingzhu will definitely find a way to get this news to Ayu.
Bai Qingyan did not doubt that Ayu was not smart enough to spot the spies around her, but she could not take the risk. After all, Ayu had no one available around her and was in the enemy camp. If she was not energetic enough and was negligent, she was afraid that it would bring disaster to Ayu.
The next step is that Bai Qingyan must speed up the process of taking over Hancheng.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month in the eighteenth year of the Xuanjia reign, Princess Zhenguo Bai Qingyan led her troops from Daming Prefecture to Yingdu.
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month in the eighteenth year of the Xuanjia reign, Princess Zhenguo led her troops and captured Yingdu with lightning speed.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Rongyan and his party were in Xiangliang, posing as the ninth prince of Yan State, Murong Yan, and met with the Ghost-faced Prince who had left the Rongdi army and pretended to be a caravan at the Happy House in Xiangliang.
Kuaihuolou is a very famous brothel in Xiangliang. It has a common name. It is said that the proprietress of Kuaihuolou’s mother is from Liang and her father is from Rongdi. She lived in Rongdi for a long time when she was a child. Therefore, her style of doing things is quite rough like that of the Rongdi people, so she gave the brothel such a name.
Although Liang State was now embroiled in war, the Jin army had not yet reached Xiangliang City, and Xiangliang was still bustling and prosperous. The double-eaved pavilions with lanterns hanging were still ablaze with candlelight, and the Happy Tower was bustling with guests. The girls leaned coquettishly on the intricately carved railings of the pavilions, laughing and noisily attracting guests, and their faces were reflected by the red lanterns hanging under the eaves, making it seem like a dream.
A luxurious carriage made of elm wood, surrounded by green brocade with auspicious cloud patterns, with auspicious beasts holding lanterns carved on the four corners of the ceiling, and copper-wrapped wooden edges, stopped in front of the brightly lit and bustling Happy Building.
The carriage was led by sword-wielding guards riding on four horses, and followed by two rows of twenty guards each.
The servants who were waiting outside the gate of Happy Tower knew that the guests were definitely distinguished. The three of them lined up in a row and trotted down from the high platform of the magnificent Happy Tower according to the rules. The servant in front, who was wearing a gray cloth robe and a gray cloth belt around his waist, knelt on the ground and served as a stepping stool for the distinguished guest.
Two servants in green robes and brown belts bowed their heads and raised their arms high for the distinguished guest to help him get off the carriage.
The man wearing a golden belt and brocade clothes stepped out of the main door of Happy House, holding the hem of his clothes and hurried out to greet us. Before he arrived, his voice came first: “Oh, it’s really the distinguished guest…”
The servants in Happy House are divided into different ranks. Those with handsome looks are given golden belts and only receive distinguished guests.
The white belt is used to guide ordinary guests, the brown belt is used to help guests get off the horse or carriage, and the gray belt… is naturally used as a horse stool.
Yue Shi opened the carriage curtain for his master.
Xiao Rongyan followed the local customs. He stepped off the carriage with his deerskin boots on the servant’s back. With a smile on his lips, he gestured to Yue Shi to give him a reward. Yue Shi took out a few pieces of silver from his belt and threw them casually. The gray-belted servant who was acting as a footstool hurriedly knelt forward and gathered the silver with his hands, fearing that the two servants with brown belts would snatch it from him. He kowtowed to Xiao Rongyan: “Thank you for the reward! Thank you for the reward!”
“Is this your first time visiting the Happy House? Please come in! Please come in!” The man with a gold belt and gorgeous clothes, with a flattering look on his face, bowed and invited Xiao Rongyan in.
The girl upstairs saw that this distinguished guest was so handsome and generous, so she hurriedly threw her handkerchief to Xiao Rongyan.
Xiao Rongyan, who was wearing a blue cape with gold thread trimming and a handkerchief in his arms, looked up with his deep eyes at the group of girls upstairs. He saw a shy girl covering half of her face with a round fan. She laughed in a voice as soft as an oriole and said to Xiao Rongyan, “Greetings to the distinguished guest.”
Xiao Rongyan lowered his head and sniffed the faint fragrance on the handkerchief, chuckled softly, lifted the hem of his long gown, stepped onto the high steps of Happy Tower, and acted like a perfect dandy young man.
Bai Qingyu, with half of his face covered with a mask, stood with his hands behind his back at the carved window lattice on the third floor, looking down at Xiao Rongyan who was stepping onto the high steps of Happy Building. His brows were cold and the swaying red lights hanging from the eaves made his cold black iron mask glow dimly.
The third update, continue to beg for monthly votes la la la la!
