Chapter 199 -197: Pingan_1

“Thank you, Miss Bai. I will make sure to deliver your message as quickly as possible.”

Bai Qingyan nodded. Xiao Rongyan’s people were all perceptive.

In her past life, Xiao Rongyan had been ruthless, never using such mild and gentle methods.

She had faced Xiao Rongyan several times and knew that no matter how refined and gentle he appeared, at his core, he believed in “submit to him and thrive, oppose him and perish.” He was intimidating, using threats and incentives, and even exterminating entire clans of those who hindered him without leaving a trace. He was deeply calculating, cold-hearted, courageous, and meticulous.

Such a clever and arrogant person was actually the one most unconstrained. He dismissed the mundane, feared neither gods nor the heavens, disregarded religious and moral codes, and was indifferent to public opinion. He cared only about achieving his own goals.

He had waged ruthless campaigns, using cunning strategies to annihilate the noble families and loyal officials of enemy countries. Although his aim was to unify the world and bring peace to the people, his later methods were too unscrupulous. Everything in the world seemed insignificant to him. The number of civilians who perished in his sieges… and the others who suffered, all for the sake of his provisions.

Now, thinking back to those days, Bai Qingyan felt a chill run down her spine.

Thus, Bai Qingyan had a deep-seated fear of Xiao Rongyan. Even though today’s Xiao Rongyan had not yet become the same ruthless man of her past life, the shadow he cast over her remained.

There is a saying: those with nothing to lose fear nothing. With the Bai family behind her, Bai Qingyan was the one who had something to lose. As the Yan Empire’s territory crumbled, Xiao Rongyan seemed like the one with nothing to lose.

Today, she spoke to remind Xiao Rongyan, hoping that in a moment of kindness and compassion, he would choose a way to reduce the Yan Empire’s losses during their period of military shortage. She also wanted him to understand the precious value of winning the people’s hearts.

She hoped that in the future, he would remember the people’s support when he conquered Nanyan and show them mercy.

“Go!” she said to Xiao Rongyan’s guard.

The guard leaped onto his horse, bowed in Bai Qingyan’s direction, and raced off, clutching his rapidly beating heart. He needed to hurry back to relay Miss Bai’s message to his master.

Seeing Xiao Rongyan’s guard disappear into the darkness, Bai Qingyan said, “Ruo Jiang, let’s take the horse and head back.”

Xiao Ruojiang reached out to grab the reins of the white horse, but the horse shook its head and threw them off. If Xiao Ruojiang hadn’t been skilled in martial arts, he might have ended up falling into the river.

“Indeed, it is a wild horse!” Xiao Ruojiang wasn’t angry; instead, he looked delighted. “I remember when the Crown Prince first brought back Gale, it was just like this!”

Xiao Ruojiang couldn’t help but laugh.

Gale was indeed a fierce horse. It had taken her father great effort to bring Gale back to Dadu City. She was young at the time… her father had intended to have the horse tamed by a trainer before giving it to her. However, six experienced trainers failed. Two were even injured by Gale and almost lost their lives.

Bai Qingyan, hearing this, secretly went to the stables and tamed Gale in a single day. She returned, covered in mud, bruised all over, waving a whip and excitedly telling Bai Qishan that she had tamed the horse no one else could, naming it Gale.

Bai Qingyan became excited. She mounted the horse as it struggled more violently, almost throwing her off. _{freёweɓnovel.com}
