The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 907: Can’t escape
Chapter 907: No Way to Escape
The six tightly closed carved wooden doors of Luo Hong Tower did not move at all. Not even a breath of wind came in. The only sounds in the silence were the chirping of night insects and the sound of the breeze blowing in from the six open windows.
“Good! Good!” The emperor was furious, his bloodshot eyes searching for a weapon that would suit his needs. “I will come in person! I will come in person to kill this traitor.”
Bai Qingyan and the eldest princess looked coldly at the emperor who was about to go crazy, their eyes were equally cold and bleak.
“Your Majesty, please calm down!” Gao Demao hugged the emperor’s legs tightly and begged, “Your Majesty, the situation is over! The situation is over! The Princess Zhenguo has experienced hundreds of battles. Who can be her opponent?”
The clouds that covered the moon dispersed with the wind, and the bright moon appeared in the sky, illuminating the city of Luohong where swords were clashing, the sound of fighting filled the sky, and blood flowed like a river…
The one hundred soldiers that Bai Qingyan brought into Luohong City rushed towards the gate of Luohong City when Bai Qingyan stepped into Luohong Tower. They fought with the troops led by Qin Shangzhi and opened the tightly closed gate of Luohong City.
And today… the army led by Bai Jinxiu and Lin Kangle, who were escorting Bai Qingyan to Luohong City, appeared at the gate of Luohong City with full justification. The army had not lit any torches, and the darkness became a cover for the mighty army of the Great Zhou. The Jin soldiers standing on the city wall of Luohong City could only hear the sound of fluttering military flags brought by the wind, but could not see how many Great Zhou soldiers were standing in the thick ink.
Bai Jinxiu was dressed in silver armor, standing in the front on horseback, her sharp eyes fixed on the brightly lit city wall.
Suddenly, there was chaos on the city wall of Luohong City. Torches flickered and the guards ran towards the bottom of the city wall in panic.
Bai Jinxiu pulled the reins abruptly, knowing that the 100 soldiers her elder sister had brought into the city had already moved. She drew her sword and pointed it at the tower of Luohong City: “Soldiers! The time to attack the city has come. I, the Queen of the Great Zhou, will lead the troops and go deep into the danger… just for this moment! Kill!”
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, shrouded in darkness, drew their swords together, and like awakened giant beasts, they roared and followed Bai Jinxiu, rushing straight towards the city gate of Luohong City that had stood for a hundred years.
The city was broken much faster than Qin Shangzhi had imagined. The bravery of the one hundred soldiers that Bai Qingyan brought into Luohong City was beyond everyone’s imagination. They had a clear goal, which was to open the city gate.
They were not afraid of sacrifice or death, and their moves were fierce and deadly. The soldiers who were sent to build the canal were already afraid, and when they saw the aggressive soldiers of the Great Zhou coming, they almost surrendered without being defeated, and their legs became weak like lambs to be slaughtered.
Qin Shangzhi did not expect that Bai Qingyan would let Bai Jinxiu attack Luo Hongcheng at this time. Bai Qingyan actually ignored her own safety. Was she so determined to destroy the State of Jin?
Qin Shangzhi didn’t understand it at first, until he saw Shen Tianzhi coming to help, he suddenly realized that… Shen Tianzhi had already surrendered to the Princess Zhenguo.
Qin Shangzhi, wearing armor and fighting desperately like a trapped beast, was covered in blood. His arms were so sore and numb that he couldn’t lift them. He saw Bai Jinxiu taking the lead and leading his troops into the city. The flames in the braziers on both sides of the city were flying up and down with the wind, illuminating the imposing Bai Jinxiu riding on his horse.
Bai Jinxiu’s determined eyes swept over the defeated Jin soldiers, and she shouted in a sonorous and powerful voice: “The city gate has been breached, and those who surrender will not be killed! The entire army of the Great Zhou will only punish those who resist, and must not disturb the people! Those who violate the rules will be punished by military law!”
Qin Shangzhi understood that the situation was hopeless… The most important thing now was to rescue the prince from the city!
Qin Shangzhi said nothing and ordered his deputy general to defend the place with all his might, as long as he could. He jumped on his horse and galloped to the prince’s residence with twenty soldiers.
As long as the prince is saved, it is equivalent to saving a glimmer of life for the State of Jin.
In the prison.
King Liang heard the sounds of killing coming from outside and slowly raised his head.
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty!”
Hearing the rustling of the prison door chain and someone calling “Your Majesty”, King Liang turned his head and looked outside the prison door…
Hongqiao, dressed as an old woman, was seen trying keys one by one, trying to open the lock of the prison door.
“Hongqiao?” King Liang spoke in a hoarse voice.
The lock in Hongqiao’s hand opened as King Liang spoke.
Hongqiao quickly moved the chain away and walked through the door. She took out a set of clothes from the basket on her arm and handed it to King Liang: “Your Majesty, change your clothes quickly and follow me out of the city! Hongmei has arranged for someone to meet you outside the city!”
Prince Liang lowered his eyes and stroked the patched clothes with his fingers. He was now a lost dog, so how could he still be called His Majesty!
Even though he was crowned emperor, he was only emperor for a few days. He asked Hongqiao in a hoarse voice: “What happened outside?”
“Bai Qingyan went to Luohong Tower to meet the Grand Princess today, and Bai Jinxiu took the opportunity to lead troops to attack…” Hong Qiao shook the clothes in the hands of King Liang, and helped King Liang put on the clothes with a sour smell without caring about etiquette. “Luohong City is in chaos! This time… the emperor and the deposed prince will definitely not survive! Your Majesty, let’s leave the city first… and make plans later!”
Seeing that King Liang did not move, Hong Qiao was so anxious that sweat broke out on her nose: “Your Majesty, as long as you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood! If you delay any longer, it will be too late!”
King Liang tightly grasped the coarse cloth trousers in his hand, gritted his teeth, and put on the trousers without saying a word. Then he said: “Don’t leave the city, go to Luohong Tower…”
Hongqiao looked at King Liang in surprise: “Your Majesty, are you going to kill Bai Qingyan? If so… Hongqiao is willing to serve. Your Majesty, if you leave the city, only when Your Majesty is here… the country will not be destroyed. Only when Your Majesty is here… can you truly clear the grievances of the Second Prince and Concubine Tong!”
“The consort Tong and my second brother have been posthumously honored, but Hongqiao… there is a saying that goes, the victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits. I am the prince of Jin. Even if I rebel, as long as my father doesn’t kill me… I will still be the prince of Jin. One day I will be able to turn the tables and clear the names of consort Tong and my second brother!” King Liang showed a cruel look on his face, “But Bai Qingyan wants to claim the title of empress and change the country’s name to Zhou. We will be the losers… and we will never have another chance. Tell Hongmei to arrange all the people outside the city to rush to Luohong Tower and do their best to rescue my father!”
In the final analysis, the crimes of Concubine Tong and the Second Emperor were all pinned on them by Bai Weiting. As Bai Weiting’s most beloved eldest granddaughter and a member of the Bai family, if Bai Qingyan had really rebelled, how could she let Bai Weiting’s reputation be tarnished?
Then…by then, he will no longer be able to fight for the innocence of Concubine Tong and the Second Prince.
Therefore, King Liang must go to Luo Honglou.
“Let Hongmei go find the prince and make sure he is killed in Luohong City.” King Liang said as he tied his belt, “The kerosene we prepared to prevent Bai Qingyan from attacking the city can be used on Luohong Tower! Light a fire around Luohong Tower to ensure that Bai Qingyan cannot escape even if he has wings!”
The third update! I’m still begging for monthly votes…
