Chapter 550 - 547: Humble Submission_1
Xiao Rongyan calculated the time when the Ghost-faced General appeared in Nanrong, noting his exceptional swordsmanship and archery. After Bai Qingyan’s brief inquiry that night, Xiao Rongyan had a vague notion of the truth.
Xiao Rongyan spoke frankly, and Bai Qingyan didn’t conceal anything. Her eyes were full of mirth: "Perhaps! I have sent someone to Nanrong to investigate."
"Rong Yan, congratulations to Miss Bai," said Xiao Rongyan sincerely.
Every offspring of the Bai family was an outstanding military talent. This wasn’t apparent while they were in Jin Kingdom; now, with one supporting Jin Kingdom and another having gone to Nanyan, it became clear that the Bai family had exceptional skills in warfare.
Xiao Rongyan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, thinking how wonderful it would be if such a family were born in Yan.
"Now with Nanrong and Beirong at odds, Yan supporting Beirong is bound to clash with the Ghost-faced General. Especially if Princess Mingcheng indeed perishes this time, Xie Xun might vow to be at odds with the Ghost-faced General, pledging to take his life." Xiao Rongyan paused, bowed deeply to Bai Qingyan, and continued, "Therefore, I have a request. Please, Miss Bai, mediate to allow Princess Mingcheng to stay in Dengzhou to recuperate and save her life."
Xiao Rongyan spoke with utmost sincerity. Princess Mingcheng decided to marry for Yan, and no matter what, Xiao Rongyan wanted to protect her.
However, this was Dengzhou. Xiao Rongyan hadn’t yet established his people here, making it difficult to act.
