Chapter 188: Chapter 186: Heaven’s Will_1

“Young General Bai!”

Nobody knew who first spotted Bai Qingyan, but they shouted out.

The soldiers of the Bai family army, injured as they were, couldn’t sit still when they heard that Young General Bai had arrived. Surprise and joy filled their hearts as they looked towards Bai Qingyan’s direction.

“Young General Bai!” Cheng Yuanzhi stood up as well, hastily covering his exposed body with his clothes.

Bai Qingyan looked at the blood-stained soldiers in the infirmary and raised her hand to signal everyone to sit down. “I came to inform you that tonight, I will lead 2,000 elite soldiers of the Bai family army and take back the head of our vice commander. Tomorrow morning, those lightly injured will follow me to take Tianmen Pass and then Fengcheng! Rest well and prepare for the coming battle!”

After finishing, Bai Qingyan bowed to the wounded soldiers and turned to leave the tent.

“Young General Bai!” Wei Zhaonian chased after her, clasping his fists. “Wei Zhaonian is willing to go with Young General Bai to the Xiliang camp and retrieve our vice commander’s head!”

Bai Qingyan looked at Wei Zhaonian, whose face remained calm despite the loss of an eye, his desire for revenge burning brightly within him.

She clasped her fists. “Then General Wei, please take my fourth sister Bai Jinzhi and 1,800 soldiers to set up an ambush at Huiping Road. Once I return with the vice commander’s head, intercept the Xiliang pursuers!”

Wei Zhaonian’s eyelid twitched. Only 200 men to storm the camp?!

“Young General Bai, wouldn’t it be unwise to take only 200 men?!” Wei Zhaonian voiced his concern.

“I have made my decision. Rest assured, General Wei!” Bai Qingyan replied.

Wei Zhaonian stopped arguing, clasped his fists, and watched Bai Qingyan leave. He immediately ordered preparations of fire oil and crossbows, intending to use Xiliang’s tactics against them.

As the night wore on, 2,000 soldiers of the Bai family army left Wengcheng and encountered General Zhang Duanrui, who was clearing the battlefield at Wengshan Canyon and returning with the Jin army to Wengcheng.

General Zhang Duanrui saw the Bai family army leaving Wengcheng and rode ahead to meet them, recognizing Bai Qingyan leading the group. He asked, “General Bai, are you heading to Tianmen Pass now?!”

“General Zhang, take your troops back to Wengcheng and rest. At first light, we will depart for Tianmen Pass!” Bai Qingyan responded.

General Zhang clasped his fists in acknowledgment. He watched as the soldiers, bearing the black flag with the white python of the Bai family, rode towards Tianmen Pass, disappearing into the night.

Xiao Rongyan, having bypassed Pingyang City and returned to Yan’s border, stood atop Linchuan Mountain. He gazed at the red glow on the eastern horizon, guessing it was the direction of Wengshan.

“Master, the old uncle has arrived!” Xiao Rongyan’s guard approached him from the mountainside and bowed.

“Understood.”

Xiao Rongyan responded and began his descent.

As he walked down, his mind was occupied.

Was this fate?! _{freēwēbnovel.com}
