His greatest regret was... understanding Sima Ping so well, he knew exactly which words would hurt Sima Ping the most, and he deliberately used malicious words to stab his best friend.
"Quick, quick, quick!" The city guards hurriedly ran over, carrying an elderly official on their backs, and placed him next to Lu Yuanpeng, "Quick, treat the general!"
The elderly official, frail with age, nearly had his bones jolted apart. He kneeled beside Lu Yuanpeng, gripping his arm to check his pulse, before looking at Lu Yuanpeng’s back. He took out hemostatic powder from his medicine box and scattered it into Lu Yuanpeng’s armor generously. Without suitable tools, it was not feasible to recklessly remove the armor and extract the arrow, so they had to resort to this crude method first.
Sweating profusely, the official, after roughly treating the wound, shouted, "Quick, bring a door panel, lay the general on it, and send him to a clean barrack! Move slowly, avoid jolting."
Bai Jinzhi watched as the soldiers carried away Lu Yuanpeng, who seemed lifeless and limp. Clenching her fist tightly, she reassured herself that Lu Yuanpeng had always been blessed with great fortune, and with the official attending to him, he would be fine!
The most important task now was to rescue her elder sister!
Back and forth took over three hours; time was running out, and her elder sister was in imminent danger. She couldn’t afford to delay here!
Bai Jinzhi turned to the Bai family army and said, "I will write several deployment orders; you, scatter and depart... head to the nearest cities with Zhou forces and request reinforcements!"
Earlier, in her rush, Bai Jinzhi only thought of speed. Now, calming down, she thought of sending word to other cities for reinforcements.
Dispatching troops required tokens of authority. Bai Jinzhi prepared pen and ink, wrote the deployment orders, stamped her own seal, and also had the local city garrison general and county magistrate affix theirs. Four letters... were simultaneously sent out.
Meanwhile, the garrison general readied the troops. Although there were fewer than two thousand soldiers, these soldiers were all sons of Zhou; none were afraid of battle as their Emperor was waiting for them to rescue him.
"Depart!" Bai Jinzhi commanded, leading the army to charge toward the mountain pass as if their lives depended on it.

At this moment, in Dadu City, Bai Jinxiu, Bai Qingyu, and Bai Qingqi also received the news sent by Bai Jintong.
Bai Jinxiu didn’t even have time to change her clothes, wearing the common attire she had at the Qin Mansion, she hurried back to the King of Zhen’s residence, speaking rapidly: "If there wasn’t a definite message and urgency, Jintong wouldn’t have sent back a blood letter to worry us. From Yan Capital to Dadu City, so much time has already passed; if those petty men of Yan Kingdom truly had the intent to kill the Emperor of Zhou, elder sister might already be in danger in Yan Kingdom!"
Upon seeing the blood letter, Bai Qingyu’s eyes were as dark and icy as a frozen cellar, yet he did not speak.
After reading the blood letter, Bai Qingqi said, "Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, we cannot risk elder sister’s safety. We must immediately mobilize forces to head to the Yan Kingdom border as a precaution... and also serve as a deterrent to Yan Kingdom. I have connections within the Yan military, but most have been sent to guard the Zhou-bordering cities. If there is any military movement in Yan Kingdom, that person will find a way to send the message."
However, unlike the third sister, elder sister had arranged many reliable hands, it’s normal for news to be delayed.


If elder sister were to unify Yan Kingdom by force, he couldn’t allow her to be without any available troops...
