Chapter 228: Chapter 226: Conspiracy_1

Bai Qingyan was resourceful and wise. Li Zhijie did not want to give Bai Qingyan too much time to breathe and prepare. He needed to strike while the iron was hot. He would take the still-warm corpses to Youhua Road to demand an explanation from the Crown Prince of Jin Kingdom!

He wanted to see if Jin Kingdom truly had the unwavering loyalty Bai Qingyan claimed!

Bai Qingyan ordered the remaining Dong family death warriors to follow Shen Qingzhu to Shaoyang County. She took the rest of the Huying Camp back to Youhua Road.

On the way, she detailed instructions to all the elite soldiers of the Huying Camp. When they returned to Youhua Road, they were to say that Bai Jinzhi and Shen Liangyu were sent by her to secretly inspect Qiushan Pass for anomalies. It turned out that Bai Jinzhi and Shen Liangyu saw people dressed in Jin clothing coming and going from an inn within Qiushan Pass, arousing their suspicions. So they went to investigate.

Who knew that these people would be discovered? When confronted, they started a fight, and those people set fire to the inn, attracting the attention of the Xiliang soldiers guarding the pass. The Xiliang soldiers joined those people in killing them. Fortunately, Bai Qingyan arrived in time to rescue them.

Do not mention a single word about the Dong family death warriors and Bai Qingyun, nor Xiao Ruohai, and Shen Qingzhu.

This time, Bai Qingyan and her group did not have time to clear the battlefield. The bodies of the Dong family death warriors and the elite soldiers of the Huying Camp were left behind. Therefore, they would report the situation to the Crown Prince, mixing truth with lies. They would claim the Dong family death warriors as Li Zhijie’s people from Xiliang. This would prevent Li Zhijie from using the corpses of the Dong family death warriors and the Huying Camp elite soldiers to his advantage.

Just as dawn was about to break, the Jin Army soldiers guarding Youhua Road saw Bai Qingyan returning with the injured elite soldiers of the Huying Camp and were shocked, immediately opening the gates to let them in.

Xiao Ruojiang, who was pale, forced himself to ride a horse back after being slashed in the back to protect Bai Jinzhi. As soon as his warhorse entered the camp, he could no longer hold on and fell from the horse.

“Call! Military doctor! Quick!” the Jin Army shouted.

“Xiao Ruojiang!” Bai Qingyan dismounted and ordered someone to carry Xiao Ruojiang immediately to the military doctor’s tent for treatment.

Seeing Xiao Ruojiang’s blood-soaked back, she gritted her teeth and said to Bai Jinzhi and the soldiers of the Huying Camp, “You go treat your wounds first. I will see the Crown Prince!”

Bai Jinzhi nodded. Worried about Xiao Ruojiang, she followed quickly.

Shen Liangyu, who was also wounded, stepped forward and said, “The injury on my body is not urgent. I will go see the Crown Prince with Young General Bai. Only I can explain clearly to the Crown Prince about the situation in Qiushan Pass.”

Bai Qingyan hesitated for a moment before nodding, leading Shen Liangyu towards the Crown Prince’s tent.

The Crown Prince had already gone to bed. Quan Yu saw Bai Qingyan, whose armor was stained with blood, and Shen Liangyu, who was covered in injuries, coming in with urgency and quickly welcomed them. “General Bai, what’s going on?”

“I have an urgent matter to see the Crown Prince! Something is happening in Qiushan Pass!” Bai Qingyan saluted Quan Yu.

Quan Yu was shocked and immediately turned back to the tent to wake the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince, groggy from being woken up, heard Quan Yu say Bai Qingyan and Shen Liangyu returned blood-stained and claimed Qiushan Pass had an issue. He instantly woke up.
