Capítulo 1153: Chapter 1147: Glory and Wealth

This is also why Bai Qingyan left Xiao Ruohai to Bai Jinzhi and General Shen Kunyang. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Clearly, Bai Qingyan was worried about Bai Jinzhi leaving Xiao Ruohai to Bai Jinzhi. Bai Jinzhi was also concerned about her eldest sister wanting to attack Yecheng Pass, the most difficult pass in Xiliang. So, she quietly sent Xiao Ruohai back to her eldest sister.

Seeing Bai Qingyan placing the map drawn by Xiao Ruohai on the table and examining it carefully with her siblings, Xiao Ruohai continued, “On my way back from Yecheng Pass, I encountered the family of the Governor of Suining City, who had abandoned the city and fled. Interestingly, after escaping, the governor’s family suddenly decided to return!”

“At that time, I was also heading to Suining City, so I mingled with the governor’s family until we entered the city, whereupon the governor’s family discovered that I was from Zhou. As we speak, the governor’s family has been detained, and they’re clamoring to see the Young Lady, claiming they have a brilliant plan to conquer Yecheng Pass and refusing to speak unless they see her. I wonder if the Young Lady is willing to see them?”

Upon entering the city, the Governor of Suining was initially startled upon learning Xiao Ruohai was from Zhou, then began to curse vehemently.

After reviewing Xiao Ruohai’s map of Yecheng Pass, Bai Qingyan turned to her wet nurse-brother with a smile and said, “Very well… let’s see what insights this governor, who abandoned his city, has to offer.”

“Eldest Young Lady should first meet this governor who fled, to find out what great plan he has. Meanwhile, us siblings will study the detailed map drawn by Xiao Ruohai to see if there’s any quick way to breach the city,” Bai Qingjue said with a smile to Bai Qingyan.

“Alright…” Bai Qingyan nodded, instructing someone to bring the governor to the main hall, and then smiled at Xiao Ruohai, “You’ve had a hard journey, my wet nurse-brother. Wash up and take a nap. Eunuch Wei says the lamb in Xiliang is excellent, so let’s have lamb hotpot for dinner.”

“I’ll accompany the Young Lady to meet this governor and rest afterward,” Xiao Ruohai insisted.

Hearing this, Bai Qingyan nodded, realizing Xiao Ruohai might have more to say, “Then I shall trouble my wet nurse-brother.”

As Xiao Ruohai followed Bai Qingyan through the winding corridors to the main hall, he spoke softly, “During the journey, I noticed this governor fears his wife. Whether it was fleeing or returning, it was all decided by the governor’s wife. After some investigation, I found out his wife is none other than the half-sister of General Ye Shouguan, the guardian of Yecheng Pass. It is said that in the past, when General Ye was alive, the governor’s wife and her mother were highly favored. General Ye, wise throughout his life, wanted to elevate a concubine in his old age, which led to the death of General Ye Shouguan’s mother from anger, causing a near rift between Ye Shouguan and the old general. It was only resolved when the clan of the Ye family intervened.”
