Chapter 221: Chapter 219: Rescuing_1
Bai Qingyun was the illegitimate son of Bai Qiyu, Bai Jinzhi’s father, and Bai Jinzhi’s half-brother.
“Fourth Miss, saving people is of utmost importance! Go see General Shen Liangyu first!” said Xiao Ruojiang.
Upon learning that Shen Qingzhu had been ordered to lead the Huying Camp to Qiushan Pass for a rescue mission, Bai Jinzhi did not dare to delay. Without further ado, she took Shen Qingzhu to meet Shen Liangyu.
Shen Liangyu was shocked to learn that the young general of the Bai family, Bai Qingyun, was still alive. His hair practically stood on end in excitement.
Shen Qingzhu had once been the captain of Young General Bai’s guard. He had risked life and limb together with Young General Bai, so Shen Liangyu deeply trusted Shen Qingzhu’s words.
“I have been ordered by the eldest Miss to lead the Huying Camp to carry out a rescue mission!” Shen Qingzhu’s features were solemn, and his gaze was as cold as frost. “But I mean to discreetly take away people under the cover of darkness. After rescuing Young Master Jiu, we absolutely cannot send him back to the Jin Army camp. Xiao Ruohai and I will escort Young Master Jiu to Fengcheng for safekeeping. General Shen, return to Youhua Road with the others, and do it as quietly as possible. If discovered, claim that you were acting under the eldest Miss’s orders to gather intelligence at Qiushan Pass. Do not mention the rescue mission at all.”
At this time, Xiao Ruohai and the Dong family’s death warriors were in Qiushan Pass, closely following Li Zhijie and his men who were escorting Bai Qingyun.
In the peace negotiation tent earlier, Bai Qingyan had clearly waited for Li Zhijie to confirm he would not use Bai Qingyun for the negotiation, before instructing Shen Qingzhu to lead the Huying Camp for the rescue mission!
Having followed Bai Qingyan for many years, Shen Qingzhu understood her intentions precisely. He knew why she had to wait for Li Zhijie’s stance on the assassin’s fate before issuing the order. Therefore, Young Master Jiu couldn’t be brought back to Youhua Road to reveal to the Crown Prince that Young Master Jiu was still alive.
The Huying Camp’s mobilization had to be silent too, or their movements, if discovered by the Crown Prince, would add trouble for the eldest Miss.
