Chapter 1379 Be Careful in Everything

Bai Qingyan is not opposed to mutual trade between the two countries. Mutual trade is a good thing for the people. And through Bai Jintong's letter, she knows that Tianfeng Kingdom is superior to Da Zhou in many aspects and is worth learning from Da Zhou.

"Bai Qingping..." Bai Qingyan called Bai Qingping.

Yesterday, when he received the prescription of ink powder from Tianfeng Kingdom, Bai Qingyan asked Wei Zhong to send the prescription to the weapons supervisor, and asked Bai Qingping to let the master from Tianfeng Kingdom take a look at the ink powder. Is the powder a recipe that ordinary people use at home?

Bai Qingping was staring at this matter personally. He didn't sleep a wink all night yesterday. He changed into his official uniform at the Ordnance Supervisor at dawn and hurried over, almost being late.

As soon as Bai Qing called him, Bai Qingping stepped forward, bowed respectfully and said: "Your Majesty asked Wei Chen to inquire about it in detail. Wei Chen has already inquired clearly. The recipe for the toner given by Tianfeng Kingdom is higher than usual." The toner recipe used by ordinary people is better. Wei Chen and others plan to refine the new weapon as soon as possible. After finishing it... they can test whether the toner is the same as the toner used on the Elephant Army armor."

Bai Qingyan nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, I'll leave this matter to you!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Bai Qing saluted with a long bow.

In fact, Bai Qingping hoped to work harder so that he could share Bai Qingyan's worries. He was not as invincible as most of the Bai family members on the battlefield, so he wanted to share Bai Qingyan's worries in other aspects.

Furthermore, after returning home, people from the clan would definitely come to him to find a way out for their children. Bai Qingping didn't want to take advantage of his authority, so it would be better if he could hide in the weapons prison.

Yesterday, when Pu Liu sent someone to bring food to Bai Qingping, he told Bai Qingping tactfully that now that Bai Qingping had reached the fourth rank of officialdom, the clan members thought that Bai Qingyan had given Bai Qingping to the capital city. The cousins ​​​​of the family made princes and promoted Bai Qingping. The next step was to promote the Bai clan members.

There are also people who are sitting in the Bai Mansion and exaggerating about Bai Qingping. They want to find Bai Qingping for their children or relatives to find a good job in the Ordnance Supervision.

Although Pu Liu didn't say it clearly, he was afraid that these people would disturb Bai Qingping from doing things for Bai Qingyan, so he meant that if Bai Qingping was busy, there was no need to rush back. Pu Liu would send someone to bring three meals a day and change clothes. , I think those people have not been able to see Bai Qingping for a long time, and they will stop thinking about it after a long time.

When the Empress Dowager Yan heard that the eldest prince, her own flesh and blood, was going to be held hostage in Da Zhou, she felt like a madman.

"Are you crazy, Murong Yan! Not only did you leave your uncle in Dazhou, but you also want to send your brother to Dazhou! I don't agree! If you want to take your eldest brother away, you have to kill me with one sword!" Queen Mother Yan's face was full of tears and her eyes were red, waiting for Murong Li, protecting her eldest son behind her.

"Mother... go to Da Zhou to be a hostage. My son is willing!" The eldest prince approached Queen Mother Yan and clasped his mother's trembling shoulder armor with both hands. He helped Queen Mother Yan sit down next to the soft couch, knelt in front of her mother, and raised her head. Looking at his mother, "Now the Yan State has signed a gambling agreement with Da Zhou. It has been agreed... If the son wants to be held hostage by Da Zhou, the son must go! Otherwise, Da Zhou will march west now. We Yan It’s all in danger!”

The eldest prince's facial features are very similar to Murong Li's, but they are more rounded. He lowered his eyes and held his mother's hands: "My son... is the most useless person in our Yan Kingdom. His writing is not as good as A Li's, and his martial arts is not as good as A Ping's. A Li's He was once hostage to another country, and besides, General A Ping and Xie Xun are with his son in Zhou Dynasty, so General Xie will protect his son and A Ping safely no matter what!"

Murong Ping, who had already changed into a prince's attire and was ready to set off, stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed, and said to the Queen Mother Yan: "Mother, even if A Ping sacrifices his life, he will definitely protect his brother's safety. Please rest assured, mother!"

The eldest prince is the flesh and blood of the Empress Dowager Yan. Even if his qualifications are mediocre and he is not good at writing or martial arts, he is still her own flesh and blood! She could understand if her brother was involved in the assassination of an important official of the Zhou Dynasty and was temporarily detained by the Zhou Dynasty, but the Yan Kingdom had already held the second prince and the general hostage to the Zhou Dynasty. Isn't this enough?

She had betrayed Da Zhou before. How could her son live a good life as a hostage in Da Zhou?

Even if Xiao Rongyan is held hostage to Da Zhou, it is better than holding his own son hostage to Da Zhou. At least Xiao Rongyan was once in love with Bai Qingyan. At least... they have a child in common!

But the Queen Mother Yan was afraid to suggest that Xiao Rongyan should be held hostage to Da Zhou to prevent her son from going. From then on... Xiao Rongyan was heartbroken and helped Da Zhou. The Yan State... The Yan State was afraid that Da Zhou would eat him alive!

Queen Mother Yan knew Xiao Rongyan's ability.

"Ah Li!" The Queen Mother looked at Murong Li, who had a cold face, and her tears seemed to be broken. "Can't you think of other ways? Do you have to have your eldest brother go? My mother once betrayed Da Zhou, and she was afraid that your eldest brother would go to Baidu. If you want to retaliate in private, and if you frame your eldest brother with a murder case, your eldest brother won't be able to come back... Ah Li!"

"Mother, if you hadn't betrayed Da Zhou, there would not have been the main force of Yan State being detained now, and the matter of Da Zhou Chen Bing and me at the border of Yan State, if I could help... Ah Li would be very willing to go to Da Zhou as a hostage in place of his eldest brother. , admit your mistakes and repent for your mother! But now that the two countries are betting on the country and the world, A Li can only work hard for my brother!"

The young Murong Li had already begun to display his imperial aura. He sat opposite the Queen Mother of Yan State, refusing to give in an inch.

"You..." Queen Mother Yan was so angry that her heart ached. She bit her lower lip, tears rushing out.

"Okay, mother!" The eldest prince said in a thick nasal voice, "My son has enjoyed the stability and privileges given by the royal family since he was born. It's time to take responsibility. It's only been three years... After three years, the son will come back safely and fulfill his filial piety under his mother's knees. ! Mother, please don’t blame Ah Li and Uncle Jiu. Now that our Yan country is in danger, our son and Ah Ping have no choice but to confront Dazhou!"

Queen Mother Yan's lips parted, but before she could speak, she saw the eldest prince kneeling back and kowtowing to her. Then he turned to Murong Li and said to Murong Li, "Your Majesty, take good care of your mother!"

"Don't worry, brother!" Murong Li looked at his brother with tears in his eyes.

The eldest prince has always felt that he is the most useless person in the Yan royal family. Now that he is serving as a hostage to the Yan Kingdom, he is actually a little happy in his heart. At least this proves that he is not completely useless.

"When the eldest brother and the second brother come back, the younger brother can discuss their merits and make the two brothers kings!" Murong Li said.

The eldest prince nodded, and the second prince Murong Li bowed to the Queen Mother Yan again. The two turned around and left the hall, and immediately set off for Dazhou.

Queen Mother Yan looked at her son's leaving figure with eyes blurred by tears, and stood up suddenly: "My son! In Dazhou... be careful! If there are any difficulties, you must have someone send a message back! Mother will make the decision for you!"
