Chapter 757 - 754: Must be Guarded Against_1
Bai Qingyan leaned against the soft couch by the window ledge of Boyun Courtyard, looking at the messages sent over and igniting the letter.
She squinted her eyes, staring at the blue flame devouring the paper, remaining silent for a long time.
Sending the epidemic to Daliang was an idea discussed by the Crown Prince and Elder Fang, hoping that after Daliang suffered from the epidemic, they would submit to the Jin Kingdom for the cure.
Qin Shangzhi had already gone to Guanghe Canal to oversee the major project of canal construction. Without Qin Shangzhi’s assistance in persuading him, the Crown Prince was led further astray by Elder Fang, using such unscrupulous methods to force Daliang to submit. Was he not afraid their own soldiers might also get infected?
In the late July of the seventeenth year of Xuanjia, Bai Qingyan finally received a letter from her third sister Bai Jintong, which settled the anxious heart she had for Bai Jintong.
Bai Jintong, now using the alias Cui Fengnian, was traveling in Xiliang. She mentioned that from Guanping, she had traveled to the seaport, sailed across the sea, and bought many rare items from the Jin Kingdom for the foreigners. She also purchased rare items from the foreigners at low prices and brought them back. Unexpectedly, she got lost at sea and discovered a place called Tianfeng Kingdom. Further exploration revealed that Tianfeng Kingdom was located behind the impassable snowy mountains behind the Rong.
The snow-covered mountain stretched endlessly from the wilderness front of Daliang and the Rong to the borders of Xiliang. Previously, they all thought the snowy mountains behind the Rong were the ends of the earth. Unexpectedly, there was another country in the central desert land beyond the valleys spanning dozens of miles beyond the snowy mountains.
The weapons in Tianfeng Kingdom were almost invincible. The weapons she brought were no match at all. Later, she learned that Tianfeng Kingdom used a special method in forging weapons, adding something called black powder.
