The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 826: pure green
Chapter 826: Perfection
In the past, Xiao Rongyan was the one who would prosper if he obeyed him and perish if he disobeyed him. If anyone dared to hinder Xiao Rongyan…if intimidation or bribery failed, he would uproot them.
What worldly human nature, what gods above… etiquette and morality are nothing to Xiao Rongyan. He does not allow anything… to become a stumbling block on the road to unifying the world.
Even if his methods are vicious and dirty, as long as he can pacify the world, he can restore peace and prosperity to the world as soon as possible. Who will then accuse him of using radical methods?
It was Bai Qingyan who taught Xiao Rongyan to respect the words “morality” from the bottom of his heart.
But, deep down, Xiao Rongyan is an unruly wolf!
He had used such a complicated method but still could not achieve his goal, so he did not mind using extraordinary means. He did not care what would happen to the Ghost-faced Prince.
With the country’s rise and fall at stake, he could only put personal feelings aside.
I think Abao can understand it.
Hearing elder sister’s nickname, Bai Qingyu’s eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, but he calmed down in an instant, and his ability to control his own emotional ups and downs had reached perfection.
Although Bai Qingyu inexplicably disliked this person, he knew her elder sister’s nickname, so perhaps… he was really the one her elder sister liked?
But how could my sister be attracted to such a dandy guy who is obviously a frequent visitor to brothels?
Bai Qingyu was holding her breath.
He was not worried that his sister had been deceived by this man given her intelligence. He could only guess… being a playboy was just a necessary appearance for him.
He narrowed his eyes and thought, if he killed him, would his sister be sad?
After a moment, Bai Qingyu clenched his fists. His elder sister’s heart had been hurt enough, and he couldn’t let her be sad again, even if there was a one in ten thousand chance.
Furthermore… the so-called Ninth Prince of Great Yan accused him of being a member of the Bai family, just like his suspicion that the Ninth Prince of Yan was Xiao Rongyan. There was no real evidence for either. Killing him would only make the situation worse.
Bai Qingyu leaned forward, exposing herself to the moonlight shining into the carriage. She rested her elbow on her knee, tilted her head casually, and smiled lightly. She said slowly and fearlessly, “Since I joined our king, I have never met an opponent. You can use whatever tricks you have, Ninth Prince… I will accompany you.”
Seeing that Bai Qingyu was not moved by his soft words, Xiao Rongyan laughed instead: “The Duke of Zhenguo Mansion has been a military family for hundreds of years and has never produced any waste. It really is… I can’t scare you. Now that we have made it clear… I will take a step back. Rongdi releases the Yan soldiers. One day… when you destroy Xiliang, Yan will never stop you.”
Bai Qingyu moved his fingers slightly, and soon realized that Xiao Rongyan used Xiliang as bait and set a trap for him in his words. He curled his lips and said, “Yan State must not come to share the pie!”
In other words, when the State of Jin destroys Xiliang in the future, the State of Yan cannot intervene, nor can it take the opportunity to invade Xiliang.
“What a big ambition! Do you think… you can easily destroy Xiliang with the power of Jin? The Queen of Xiliang is quite capable and now holds great power. The major families in Xiliang are gradually showing their loyalty! It will only take time for Xiliang to rise…”
Xiao Rongyan was not bluffing. The Queen of Xiliang… could definitely be called a wise ruler.
“Whether I can destroy the enemy or not is my business, but the fate of the Yan soldiers is yours.”
“If you destroy Xiliang within two years… Yan State will never interfere, nor will it take a share! Rongdi will return the Yan soldiers, and the two countries will make an alliance and not invade each other.” Xiao Rongyan said.
Bai Qingyu calculated that Bai Qingyan’s destruction of Liang was imminent, and two years was not too much.
What’s more, Bai Qingyu had already bribed spies among the Yan soldiers, and releasing all the Yan soldiers would be more effective.
“If the Ninth Prince agrees within three years, from then on… the two countries will form an alliance and not invade each other.” Bai Qingyu spoke slowly.
After the matter was finalized, Xiao Rongyan said, “So, this condition will be written on the alliance letter and the two countries will stamp it. But in this alliance letter… does it say that when Jin destroys Xiliang, Yan will not interfere, or when Rongdi destroys Xiliang, Yan will not interfere?”
“I am a Rongdi, so I signed the alliance for Rongdi. However… please remember, Ninth Prince, within three years, whenever Rongdi attacks Xiliang… whether they join forces with other countries or act alone, Yan cannot intervene, cannot share the spoils, and cannot help Xiliang. Otherwise… Rongdi can only allow Xiliang to grow stronger, and then use the excuse that Yan did not abide by the alliance… to attack Yan with justification.”
After saying that, Bai Qingyu took out a bamboo slip that had already been signed and sealed from his sleeve and threw it towards Xiao Rongyan.
Yue Shi, who was standing at the entrance of the alley with a sword in his arms, saw something flying out of the carriage and was about to rush over to protect it. Unexpectedly, Apuru drew his sword quickly. Yue Shi reacted very quickly and immediately took three steps back and drew his sword to block it.
At the entrance of the alley, two guards clashed swords, and the situation was tense and ready to explode.
In the alley, the two masters were in harmony, flipping through the bamboo slips, preparing to make an alliance.
Xiao Rongyan took the bamboo slips, unfolded them and took a look. The covenant had all the rules and regulations written in detail and was already stamped.
He chuckled, “It seems that… before the prince met me, he had already made two plans. Even if I didn’t propose that Yan State would not interfere with Rongdi’s destruction of Xiliang in the future, the prince would have proposed it! The prince used the trick of playing hard to get very well!”
Xiao Rongyan’s praise was sincere. Even he believed Bai Qingyu’s gesture of wanting to leave just now.
Or maybe he underestimated the intelligence of the Bai family’s descendant. This Bai family’s descendant… was not much inferior to Abao in terms of intelligence.
Bai Qingyu said indifferently: “It’s not playing hard to get, but I thought it would be useless. I didn’t expect that the Ninth Prince of Yan State could do this for those Yan army soldiers. This prince admires him very much, so he is willing to give in.”
Bai Qingyu was born in the Bai family army, and he had a very good impression of Xiao Rongyan, a man who would rather sign such a treaty than abandon his soldiers.
Xiao Rongyan took off the seal, walked to the carriage, stamped it, and handed it to Bai Qingyu.
Bai Qingyu also stamped another covenant and handed it to Xiao Rongyan…
The covenant between the two countries is made in duplicate.
Who could have imagined that such a treaty concerning the diplomatic relations between the two countries and the alliance with Xiliang was signed in the narrow alley behind this brothel.
On February 20th of the eighteenth year of Xuanjia, Liu Hong, commander-in-chief of the Jin army, led his troops to capture Sanshan City. At the same time, Princess Zhenguo recaptured Datong. At this time, the army led by Liu Hong was only two cities away from Hancheng, the capital of Daliang, and the army led by Princess Zhenguo was only three cities away from the capital of Daliang.
On February 27th of the eighteenth year of Xuanjia, the Prime Minister of Wei, Gongsun Chizhong, secretly colluded with Xiliang and committed treason. His entire family was executed and their heads were hung on the scaffold for public display, causing panic among the people.
On March 19, the eighteenth year of Xuanjia, Liu Hong, the commander-in-chief of the Jin army, led his troops to attack Yuezhou City. On the same day, Princess Bai Qingyan captured Jiangdu of Daliang and approached Hancheng.
On March 21st of the 18th year of Xuanjia, the Yan army captured Changcheng, the old capital of the Wei army.
When the Yan army entered Changcheng, they learned that the Wei general Song Guanxu had been dead for nine days. Song Guanxu’s grandson Song Wenzhong was afraid that the army would be in chaos so he kept the death a secret and defended Changcheng to the death, but was ultimately defeated.
