The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Chapter 80: Martial Arts Competition in the Grand Hall

Chen State joined forces with Huazhi State and Yueqi State in Xichuan and captured five cities including Xichuan, Songchuan, Hanzhou and Ganzhou in just two days. The Xichuan postmaster rushed to the capital at an urgent speed of 800 miles.

Emperor Chengde received an urgent document, five days after the meeting of the three countries. He quickly summoned the two sons of the Duke of Yue, Prince Yi, Su Beichen, and Bai Yinan.

After looking around, he didn't see Bai Yimeng, "Little Chenzi, why didn't the little monkey come? Go and invite him."

Bai Yinan wanted to say: My sister only knows how to make trouble and can't do anything.

But seeing that Emperor Chengde didn't seem to be joking, he chose to shut up.

Not long after, Bai Yimeng came up with a messy hair. Eunuch Chen looked helpless and quickly explained, "The little princess hasn't woken up yet and refused to get up no matter what, so I carried her here."

Yuwen Ji walked forward and gently patted Bai Yimeng's face, "Okay, stop sleeping, wake up."

Bai Yimeng collapsed limply in Yuwen Ji's arms and refused to open her eyes no matter what.

"Is there anything delicious in your father's kitchen? Bring me some." Yuwen Ji knew the little girl. She would wake up as long as she had something to eat.

"Xiao Chenzi, go get the crab cakes."

As soon as Emperor Chengde finished speaking, Bai Yimeng opened his eyes and wiped his saliva, "Where is it?"

Yuwen Ji patted Bai Yimeng and reminded him in a low voice, "Greetings first."

"Oh!" Bai Yimeng knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, your humble servant."

"Get up, you little greedy cat." Emperor Chengde looked helpless.

Bai Yimeng was a little confused after waking up. She looked around and asked Yuwen Ji, "Why am I here?"

"Eunuch Chen carried you here." Yuwen Ji recounted the story, "Little boy, just stand beside me."

Emperor Chengde smiled and waved at Bai Yimeng, "Come up, little monkey. You're late. Take a look at the letter first."

Everyone was stunned. No one except the emperor and the eunuchs could go up to the throne room. And the letter was a military secret. No one except the people the emperor trusted the most could see it.

Bai Yimeng skipped to the side of Emperor Chengde, picked up the letter and started reading it.

The old emperor pointed to the steps and said, "Sit down and take a closer look. If you stand, I will feel dizzy."

Bai Yimeng sat obediently under the dragon pillar, reading page by page.

"Generals, what do you think about this war?" Taking advantage of the time when Bai Yimeng was reading the letter, Emperor Chengde asked for everyone's opinions.

"Father, the Kingdom of Chen and the Kingdom of Huazhi are just tiny countries. They don't have any sovereignty. They are just dependent on the Kingdom of Yueqi.

I heard that Yueqi State robbed Huazhi State's caravan last year. I remember that the two countries almost fought each other at that time. Now that they have formed an alliance, I am afraid it is not so solid. It is better to send people to send hunger to both sides and spread rumors to destroy the alliance between the two countries. "

After Yuwen Ji expressed his thoughts, Emperor Chengde nodded slightly but did not express his opinion.

"I think we should send a special force southwards, go around the enemy's rear, attack them from both sides, and surround them." Yue An looked at his brother and it was obvious that the two brothers agreed.

Bai Yinan finally expressed his opinion, "Your Majesty, I have guarded Xichuan for several years and I don't believe they will surrender easily. There must be a reason for this. Please allow me to go there and find out."

Emperor Chengde nodded slightly and looked at Bai Yimeng, "Little monkey, it's just two pages. Have you finished reading it? Tell me about it."

"The bite of this caliber is like that of a lion, but not quite." Bai Yimeng pointed at the tooth marks on the envelope, as if talking to himself.

Suddenly, she pulled Emperor Chengde's arm and said, "Your Majesty, I know that the other party has joined forces with Qianyu Pavilion.

Previously, I discovered in Qianyu Pavilion that they used virgin blood to make medicine.

This is a kind of evil magic, which is said to make animals or humans stronger through some means. "

Bai Yimeng returned the letter and suddenly thought of something, "Your Majesty, do you still remember those soldiers who were poisoned in Hua'an County? I suspect that those soldiers were their first step, and the second step is in Xichuan."

Yuwen Ji also thought of it and quickly agreed, "Remember, of course I remember, those people are as strong as monsters. They can't be killed or destroyed."

"You mean to say that this group of people joined forces with the barbarian forces to demonize animals, right?" Emperor Chengde sorted out the information Bai Yimeng had explained and was a little puzzled. "These are just your guesses. There is no evidence. How can you trust them?"

"Your Majesty, you conquered five cities of Daxing in just five days. Do you think Chen, Huazhi, and Yueqi have the strength to do so?

In other words, without the help of the demon beast, how could they succeed? "

Emperor Chengde nodded slightly, "What do you think, old friend? Are you satisfied with this girl?"

An old general in silver armor walked out from behind the screen. The old man was wearing a mask and bowed to Emperor Mingde. "Satisfied, this old minister has always been satisfied."

"Thank you very much, old general, for saving my life. It was thanks to your help that day, otherwise I would have become a sieve."

"Little boy, you are too modest. You will not die even if I am not here. By the way, can you use a gun?"

Among the court officials, no one knew the old man's origins except Yuwen Ji and Bai Yinan.

"Is there anyone in the Bai family who doesn't know how to use a gun?" Emperor Chengde also thought that his old friend's question was a bit strange.

The Bai family is good at using guns, and the Zhenbei Marquis's gun skills are even more impressive. The old emperor didn't understand why the old man asked this.

"I know a little." Bai Yimeng felt a little guilty.

The old general took out two spears from behind the screen and handed one to Bai Yimeng, "Your Majesty, I want to test this child's skills. After all, the battlefield is not a joke."

Emperor Chengde nodded slightly and made a gesture of invitation. He also wanted to see Bai Yimeng's ability.

The old man walked over and glanced at Bai Yinan, nodding slightly, "General Bai, long time no see, you look a lot like your father."

Bai Yinan bowed and saluted, "Greetings, old general. I am young, so please show some mercy."

General Long Wei nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Bai Yimeng, "Let's get started!"

General Long Wei was full of energy and was about to pounce, but Bai Yimeng quickly called out, "Wait!"

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

"Please ask the same question again." Bai Yimeng smiled unnaturally.

General Long Wei was puzzled. He looked at Bai Yinan, then at Yuwen Ji, and finally at Bai Yimeng. "Can you use a gun?"

"No! I won't pretend anymore, I really can't. I didn't like to learn when I was young, and when I wanted to learn, there was no one to teach me." Bai Yimeng kicked the gun away, "But I can play with a stick, okay?"

"Okay, let's get started." The old general felt bad, calmed down, and poked Bai Yimeng with his spear, using all his skills. On the other hand, Bai Yimeng dodged left and right like a monkey, with no rules at all.

Suddenly, the old general changed his moves and thrust out with his spear. Bai Yimeng did a somersault and swung out the stick.

The moment the stick touched the spear, somehow, the stick seemed to turn into a soft whip, wrapping around the opponent's spear. Bai Yimeng pulled it slightly, and the old general's spear slipped out of his hand.

General Long Wei was stunned, and clapped his hands for a long time, "Great! What is this move called?"

This look is like coaxing a child.

Bai Yimeng bowed and saluted, "Excuse me, old general, I was just kidding."

"That move must have a name. What is it?" General Long Wei seemed really anxious, grabbing Bai Yimeng's wrist and asking non-stop.

"Uh, it was just a joke. It was purely an accident." Bai Yimeng was frightened by the old man's aura and stuttered.

"Then you, show me your martial arts skills again!"

Bai Yimeng had no choice but to demonstrate it again. "Old General, you are a real expert. I am not good enough. To tell you the truth, I am really good at running away. As for other things, I am really not good at it."

Yue An smiled and shook his head, "General Long Wei, don't listen to the princess' nonsense. Princess Jing'an is very powerful.

The Pavilion Master of Qianyu Pavilion, who is that person? The little girl had wasted fifty years of his skills.

What kind of place is Manjiang? She was able to capture the three sons of the owner of Sansong Gu Tower alone.

Also, my daughter was harmed by a villain and was poisoned by a Gu, and it was the little princess who cured her. "

"General Yue, you are joking. Sister Wanyan's poison was cured by my master. I am just a little liar who eats and drinks for free."

"Why are you being so modest? Didn't you help us capture the spy from Songgu Tower the day before yesterday?" Su Beichen turned around and bowed to Emperor Chengde. "Your Majesty, the credit for the case I submitted yesterday should also go to Princess Jing'an."

Surrounded by so much praise, Bai Yimeng really wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.

"Okay, stop praising me. I'm blushing." Yuwen Ji poked Bai Yimeng's face, took off his cloak and put it on Bai Yimeng, and covered her face with his hat. "Okay, no one can see you anymore. You're safe."

General Long Wei smiled and shook his head, then turned and bowed to Emperor Chengde, "Your Majesty, if my age does not bother me, I am willing to go and quell the rebellion."

The others followed suit and bowed down, and Bai Yimeng knelt down for unknown reasons.

Emperor Chengde was very satisfied with the result. "Little Chen, take the pen and paper. I will draft the imperial edict myself. Appoint General Longwei as the commander of the three armies, Bai Yinan as the general of Zhenwei, and Yuwen Ji as the general. Yue An and Yue Fu as the generals of the cavalry. Bai Yimeng as the vanguard."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to assign a position to me. I will just be a soldier."

"Nonsense, you are the one who picks and chooses the official position? Do you think the position is too low?" Emperor Chengde glared at Bai Yimeng in annoyance.

"I dare not!" Bai Yimeng actually wanted to say, is it okay if I don't go?

"Thank you!" Bai Yinan tugged at his sister and reminded her in a low voice.

"Oh, my lady..."

"Forget it, forget it. I did it unwillingly. Don't thank me." Emperor Chengde really had no idea what to do with this little guy.

Emperor Chengde's actions today were very deliberate, as if he wanted to tell everyone that this child of the Bai family was under his protection and no mistakes could be made.
