Chapter 1573 Safe and Sound
"Don't worry, Prince Xiping, you can leave a dozen or so people behind... As long as we keep a distance of ten miles, this king will let them go!" Xiao Rongyan said slowly, "You have no room for bargaining."
The counselor in Xuanyi raised his reins and said to Prince Xiping in a low voice: "My lord... let's retreat to the exit of the mountain col. As long as we don't let them go to Shequ and join the army of Dazhou, we can join forces with other vassals. You can always capture the city where the Emperor of the Great Zhou is located!"
Xiao Rongyan's silver mask was flickered by the torches held by the officers and men on both sides who were running wildly on the high ground, waiting for the son of Prince Xiping to let go.
"Okay..." Prince Xiping responded and ordered, "Get out five miles away!"
"Retreat in the direction of Xiping County..." Xiao Rongyan added without haste.
Prince Xiping held the reins tightly, and looked at the counselor in Xuanyi again.
The counselor in Xuanyi's heart is heavy, the regent's request is so... that means he has to cross the mountain pass to Shequ.
"My lord, don't do it!" Xuanyi Counselor hurriedly said.
Xiao Rongyan was calm and calm: "Yueshi..."
Yueshi responded and pulled out the ten-year-old son of Prince Xiping's son. The little boy was so frightened that he cried, "Daddy save me!"
"No! No..." Princess Xiping saw that her daughter-in-law was dead, and her eldest grandson was pulled out by the guards who killed his two sons and a daughter-in-law. She didn't know where the strength came from, and she threw off the soldiers who were pressing him. And he crawled over to hug his grandson, and shouted hysterically at his son, "You rebellious and unfilial thing! Both of your younger brothers are dead! You still haven't withdrawn your troops! Do you want our whole family to die!"
Prince Xiping's eyes were red, and he shouted loudly: "Withdraw troops to Xiping County!"
The Prince Regent has always been merciless towards the clan members, how many people he killed... and how many people he killed later, Prince Xiping's son is not ignorant, he can't risk his son's life.
"My lord!" Xuanyi counselor was shocked, "My lord, so many soldiers of the Xiping Army died just to kill the Emperor of Zhou today. They brought only a little reinforcements, and we can fight today..."
"Shut up!" Prince Xiping grabbed the collar of the savior's black-clothed counselor, "The one who died is this prince's wife, and this prince's younger brother and son are not yours, so you naturally said it lightly! "
After finishing speaking, Prince Xiping shook off the black-clothed counselor, and said gloomyly: "If you say one more word, I will kill your whole family! Withdraw!"
The counselor in Xuanyi looked at Prince Xiping, whose eyes were bloodshot, and pursed his lips. If he hadn't seen that Prince Xiping was the son of King Xiping, he would not have been willing to assist him.
Seeing Prince Xiping's son staring at him blankly, Xiao Rongyan said again: "After half an hour, this king will send back all the family members of Prince Xiping's residence."
Soon the Xiping army retreated, the Xuanyi counselor could only take a deep look at Xiao Rongyan, then turned and left.
When Bai Jinzhi saw that the Xiping army was withdrawing, he couldn't wait to take people up the mountain to follow Bai Qing's words.
on the hill.
The spies sent by Bai Qingyan came back and said to Bai Qingyan and the others: "Your Majesty, it was King Gao Yi and the Regent of the Yan Kingdom who came together. They captured the family members of the Xiping Palace and forced the Xiping Army to withdraw their troops!"
Xiao Rongyan...
Bai Qingyan tightened her body and hands slightly, she thought that Xiao Rongyan would be trapped by other feudal lords, but she didn't expect him to come too.
"Eldest sister! Eldest sister..."
Bai Jinzhi ran towards the burning wooden house.
Hearing Bai Jinzhi's shout, Bai Qingyan gave a little strength to the hand holding the sword hilt tightly, and she said: "Help up the wounded soldier, let's go down the mountain!"
As soon as Bai Qingyan finished speaking, she saw Bai Jinzhi running towards her in a hurry. The corners of Bai Qingyan's lips curled up into a smile, and her sweaty and blood-stained face shone brightly in the flames.
"Eldest sister!" Seeing that her elder sister was safe and sound, Bai Jinzhi burst into tears for some reason. She was afraid that she would not be in time, how afraid that by the time she arrived... she would no longer be able to see her elder sister, she was afraid that she would see her Like Lu Yuanpeng, her body was covered in blood and arrows. Her voice was choked up, and she rushed into Bai Qingyan's arms and cried out.
Bai Qingyan caressed Bai Jinzhi's head with one hand, and comforted him in a low voice: "Our little four grows up, and we can lead soldiers to save Elder Sister."
Where is she saving the eldest sister, it is clear that the elder sister left the way of life to her from the very beginning.
"Elder Sister, when I came, I met the Regent of Yan Kingdom. The Regent captured the concubine and concubine of the Xiping Palace alive, and killed several people...then forced the prince of Xiping to withdraw his troops!" Bai Jinzhi wiped his arms with his sleeve. She shed tears, her eyes were red, "The Regent of Yan Kingdom is waiting below, elder sister, let's go down the mountain to Shequ!"
Bai Qingyan nodded: "Going down the mountain..."
"Sister, I will help you!"
Bai Qingyan's legs and arms were injured, and she fought to the death again. Now that her whole body is sore and weak, she didn't refuse Bai Jinzhi's support.
"Wei Zhong... Let's see if Taiping can stand up!" Bai Qingyan turned to Wei Zhong.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Taiping has stood up, and kicked over a few enemy soldiers just now!" Wei Zhong responded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, let's go first, this old slave will bring Taiping down the mountain."
As soon as the group of them came down from the mountain, she saw Xiao Rongyan standing beside the black horse with clenched fists.
The moment he saw Bai Qingyan, Xiao Rongyan could hardly restrain himself from stepping forward and hugging Bai Qingyan, whose face was covered in blood and soot, into his arms. Looking at her blood-stained appearance and being supported by Bai Jinzhi, Xiao Rongyan felt like Thousands of arrows pass through the general.
He knew Bai Qingyan himself, and he had never seen her in such a mess.
She looked at Xiao Rongyan with a faint smile in her eyes, fortunately... they are all safe and sound.
Bai Qingyan's brows and eyes had a gentle smile, like fine needles piercing Xiao Rongyan's heart, he let go of his tightly clenched fists, and walked in front of Bai Qingyan in three steps at a time, pursing his lips Without saying a word, he hugged Bai Qingyan horizontally.
She wrapped her arms around Xiao Rongyan's neck in shock, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing, let me down quickly, I am the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and you are the Regent of the Yan Kingdom! This will make others suspect you and me..."
"Then announce it to the world!" Xiao Rongyan held Bai Qingyan in his arms, looked at her seriously and said, "From now on...there will be no more Murong Yan in this world, no more Regent of Yan Kingdom!"
Bai Qingyan was in danger twice, and Xiao Rongyan clearly understood that he could give up everything in his life, except...he couldn't give up Bai Qingyan.
Xiao Rongyan has already known his sister-in-law from the secret guard who came back from Yandu... It has been made public in Yandu that he is Xiao Rongyan, and since this is the case, he will be Xiao Rongyan from now on.
Bai Qingyan tightened the hands holding Xiao Rongyan's neck, staring fixedly at the man who carried him onto the horse's back and wrapped him carefully in his arms, leaning on his reassuring broad chest.
