Chapter 221: Chapter 219: Rescuing_1

Bai Qingyun was the illegitimate son of Bai Qiyu, Bai Jinzhi’s father, and Bai Jinzhi’s half-brother.

“Fourth Miss, saving people is of utmost importance! Go see General Shen Liangyu first!” said Xiao Ruojiang.

Upon learning that Shen Qingzhu had been ordered to lead the Huying Camp to Qiushan Pass for a rescue mission, Bai Jinzhi did not dare to delay. Without further ado, she took Shen Qingzhu to meet Shen Liangyu.

Shen Liangyu was shocked to learn that the young general of the Bai family, Bai Qingyun, was still alive. His hair practically stood on end in excitement.

Shen Qingzhu had once been the captain of Young General Bai’s guard. He had risked life and limb together with Young General Bai, so Shen Liangyu deeply trusted Shen Qingzhu’s words.

“I have been ordered by the eldest Miss to lead the Huying Camp to carry out a rescue mission!” Shen Qingzhu’s features were solemn, and his gaze was as cold as frost. “But I mean to discreetly take away people under the cover of darkness. After rescuing Young Master Jiu, we absolutely cannot send him back to the Jin Army camp. Xiao Ruohai and I will escort Young Master Jiu to Fengcheng for safekeeping. General Shen, return to Youhua Road with the others, and do it as quietly as possible. If discovered, claim that you were acting under the eldest Miss’s orders to gather intelligence at Qiushan Pass. Do not mention the rescue mission at all.”

At this time, Xiao Ruohai and the Dong family’s death warriors were in Qiushan Pass, closely following Li Zhijie and his men who were escorting Bai Qingyun.

In the peace negotiation tent earlier, Bai Qingyan had clearly waited for Li Zhijie to confirm he would not use Bai Qingyun for the negotiation, before instructing Shen Qingzhu to lead the Huying Camp for the rescue mission!

Having followed Bai Qingyan for many years, Shen Qingzhu understood her intentions precisely. He knew why she had to wait for Li Zhijie’s stance on the assassin’s fate before issuing the order. Therefore, Young Master Jiu couldn’t be brought back to Youhua Road to reveal to the Crown Prince that Young Master Jiu was still alive.

The Huying Camp’s mobilization had to be silent too, or their movements, if discovered by the Crown Prince, would add trouble for the eldest Miss.

Since Bai Qingyan had commanded Shen Qingzhu to lead the Huying Camp for the rescue, Shen Liangyu would naturally obey. He clasped his hands in salute, selected over twenty elite warriors from the Huying Camp, and quietly left with Shen Qingzhu.

Xiao Ruojiang did not accompany Shen Qingzhu. He had to stay behind to cover for Shen Liangyu and the others. Moreover, Bai Qingyan needed someone trustworthy by her side! But the more experts for the rescue, the better. So, he decided to split half of the Dong family’s death warriors in his command with Shen Qingzhu. He also sent two men on fast horses to rush to Fengcheng and fetch Doctor Hong.

Young Master Jiu was the assassin who had killed the Emperor of Xiliang. He had surely been tortured and would definitely need medical attention.

Among all the doctors Xiao Ruojiang knew in this world… none was better than Doctor Hong.

Lu Tianzhuo stood alone on the southern side of the Jin Army’s camp, completely unaware of Shen Qingzhu and Shen Liangyu’s group, who had taken the mountain road from the north to Qiushan Pass.

Lu Tianzhuo gazed at the blazing campfire of the Jin Army base, recalling the maid who had quietly infiltrated the Jin Army.

All the maids in their peace negotiation team had been selected from Xiliang by him. He had seen that maid and was certain she was one of those he had chosen. He was sure there was no mistake!

Could it be that the maid was a hidden plant from Jin who had been embedded in Xiliang long ago? But why did she suddenly appear and head to the Jin Army base? And why use such a secretive, roundabout way? It didn’t make sense…

Suddenly, Lu Tianzhuo’s pupils contracted. Could it be for the captured son of the Bai family?!

But… was it possible? King Yan and he had closely guarded him. That Bai family member had not departed with the peace team. Even if that maid was a hidden plant… surely, she wouldn’t know about the Bai family member.
