The Crown Prince saw that even Elder Fang spoke this way. He completely dispelled his last doubts about Bai Qingyan.

He tightly gripped the Commander’s Seal in his hand, pondered for a moment, then said, “She has shown me kindness. I will repay it! When we return to Dadu this time, I will petition Father to bestow the title of Princess upon Bai Qingyan, as a reward for the Bai family and the Bai family’s army!”

“Elder Fang laughed and said, ‘Your Highness’s deep affection and loyalty to the Bai family and Bai Qingyan will surely be repaid with unwavering loyalty from Bai Qingyan, just as I have demonstrated!”

The Crown Prince nodded and then asked Elder Fang, “So, should the Huying Camp be brought back to Dadu?”

“Your Excellency, I believe that you can handle Shen Liangyu according to the strategy discussed with His Majesty. Promising him a high position, giving him gold and jewels, and ensuring his family is well taken care of. Let him train a batch of elite soldiers like the Huying Camp for only His Majesty and Your Excellency. Just as Bai Qingyan has arranged for other generals of the Bai family army, assign a trusted commander to lead the troops, and let Shen Liangyu focus solely on training them.”

“Elder Fang, what you say is correct!” The Crown Prince nodded.

“With this, the matter of the Bai family army is settled! Your Excellency, it’s time to think about what gift to present on His Majesty’s birthday on March 28 that would make him joyous and win his favor!” Elder Fang reminded the Crown Prince.

“Elder Fang, your reminder is timely. The Crown Prince’s residence must have already started preparing. When I return, I will need Elder Fang’s help with this matter!”

“Your Excellency… You have misunderstood my meaning!” Elder Fang stroked his beard and smiled, “What gift could be better than encountering a divine omen on the way back from a great victory? If you think it feasible, assign this matter to Ren Shijie. Although he is reticent, he handles matters very reliably.”

The Crown Prince’s eyes shone, and he smiled and nodded, “I am fortunate to have Elder Fang’s constant reminders by my side.”

In Bai Jinzhi’s tent, her arm was already bandaged. She had changed out of her bloodied clothes and was sitting by the brazier, staring at her silver spear, repeatedly recalling that life-and-death moment…

Her eldest sister had shouted herself hoarse, telling her to pick up the knife. But she, lost as if her soul had departed, was only focused on pulling out her silver spear.

If it weren’t for her eldest sister and Xiao Ruojiang, she would probably have met the King of Hell by now!

Bai Jinzhi’s pupils trembled. In the heat of battle, she didn’t feel fear. But recalling the brush with death afterward, she couldn’t help but feel a chill run down her spine.

Bai Qingyan entered the tent carrying a wine jar, seeing Bai Jinzhi lost in thought staring at her silver spear. She reached out and gently stroked Bai Jinzhi’s head.

Only then did Bai Jinzhi come back to her senses. She looked up at Bai Qingyan, her voice hoarse, “Eldest sister…”

“Were you scared?” she asked Bai Jinzhi with a smile.

Bai Jinzhi nodded and then shook her head. Her bloodshot but bright eyes looked at her, and her fingers lightly trembled on her lap. “At first, I was scared! Seeing the Dong family’s death warriors and Huying Camp’s elite soldiers fall in front of me, hot blood splashing on my face and mouth, the taste of blood… a bit salty. I really thought I was going to die with Ninth Brother at Qiushan Pass! All I could think about… was to kill a few more Xiliang dogs even if I died! But… I saw you, Eldest Sister!”
