Chapter 509 - 506: Suppressing Bandits_1
This time, although they failed to put King Liang to death, they managed to rescue some of the children.
The mission to suppress the bandits could not be delayed any longer. Before the fake bandits arranged by the Wang family, who had been sent to Shuoyang, could escape, they organized a grand expedition to suppress the bandits outside the city. This could be seen as delivering on their duties to the Emperor and Crown Prince.
"Chun Tao, go tell Steward Hao to send someone to inform Bai Qingping and Shen Yanzong that they will be departing early tomorrow morning to suppress the bandits. Remind Shen Yanzong that on the mountain with its tall trees, arrows will be useless. The new soldiers need only carry swords," Bai Qingyan said.
"Alright, this maid will go now."
Bai Qingyan folded Bai Jinxiu’s letter and placed it in her sleeve before turning and heading back to the main hall.
In the main hall, Yue Shi was bending over and saying something to Xiao Rongyan. Seeing Bai Qingyan enter, Yue Shi quickly straightened up and bowed deeply toward Bai Qingyan. "Miss Bai..."
Yesterday, Yue Shi had already asked and understood. The master had said to temporarily call Miss Bai "Miss Bai." Although Yue Shi did not understand why it was temporary, since the master had instructed it, he would follow, and change the form of address when the master gave new instructions.
Bai Qingyan nodded and walked to the main seat while asking, "I wonder, Mr. Xiao, do you know the inside story about the Princess of Nandu, Liu Ruofu, and King Liang?"
Xiao Rongyan did not hide anything from Bai Qingyan and nodded. "I know..."
Not only did he know, but Xiao Rongyan also played a role in it. The Crown Prince wanted King Liang to "defile" the Princess of Nandu so that the Emperor would suspect him of wanting to seize military power. But he did not want King Liang to actually benefit and marry the Princess of Nandu.
