Chapter 586 - 583: Starting from Scratch_1
Fu Ruoxi’s deputy, covered in blood, cupped his hands to Bai Qingyan, "Princess of Zhen, please beg the Crown Prince for mercy on behalf of our General. He... he must have been coerced!"
"Yes! That person who delivered the message..." The upright commander under Fu Ruoxi pointed at the corpse of the messenger, "must have been sent by someone to coerce our General!"
Bai Qingyan nodded, "General Fu has been guarding the frontier for many years with unwavering loyalty. If he was truly coerced and had no choice, I will personally plead with the Crown Prince and His Majesty. But right now, the priority is to return the Crown Prince to Dadu. As long as we can safely escort the Crown Prince back to Dadu, everyone here will have achievements. At that time, you can plead for General Fu based on your merits."
Hearing this, several generals under Fu Ruoxi nodded, cupping their hands in agreement.
Fu Ruoxi’s deputy, who had previously fought in the Northern Frontier alongside Bai Qingyan, had deep respect for this iron-willed Princess of Zhen.
Moreover, as a descendant of the Bai family and having achieved great victories in both the Southern and Northern Frontiers, Bai Qingyan commanded an added layer of respect from the soldiers of Anping Camp.
Half of Anping Camp’s soldiers were ready to set out. Before departure, Bai Qingyan called Lu Ping, who was to stay at Anping Camp, aside and whispered, "This time, due to Fu Ruoxi’s attempted assassination of the Crown Prince in public, most high-ranking commanders of Anping Camp will be taken away by the Crown Prince. Inform your uncle that he must control the remaining half of Anping Camp’s forces."
Lu Ping nodded, "Do not worry, Eldest Miss!"
