Lu Ping glanced at Miss Bai of his family. Seeing Bai Qingyan nod, he led the guards ten steps away.
Xiao Rongyan approached Bai Qingyan, his deep eyes fixed on her delicate features. Lowering his voice, he said, "I know you want to draw the Nandu soldiers of the Bai Mansion away, so your situation will definitely be more difficult than the Bai Mansion. With more people to protect you, you will be safer. Whether it’s me, your second aunt, or your seventh sister, we will be more at ease. If you don’t take enough people and get hurt... how can your second aunt and seventh sister be assured?"
Not giving Bai Qingyan a chance to speak, Xiao Rongyan continued, "If you trust me, take the Hidden Guard with you. I will protect your second aunt and seventh sister. If they are harmed in any way, I will repay with my life!"
Bai Qingyan understood that by luring King Xian’s people away, the Bai Mansion’s crisis would be smaller. Keeping people at the Bai Mansion was just a precaution.
Now that Xiao Rongyan had said this, Bai Qingyan could not refuse any longer. "Let the Hidden Guard follow me in secret. You and Yue Shi stay at the Bai Mansion. If there is any situation, let Yue Shi or Uncle Ping inform me quickly!"
"Rest assured!" Xiao Rongyan wanted to hold Bai Qingyan in his arms, but with so many eyes on them, he couldn’t act out of line and damage Bai Qingyan’s reputation. He could only take a step back and bow deeply to her. "Miss Bai, please be careful. Rong... will definitely guard the Bai Mansion for you!"
Xiao Rongyan had never worried so much about someone’s safety. He had never imagined that the one he admired would charge into battle, while he would worry from behind.
Bai Qingyan also bowed deeply to Xiao Rongyan. "Then, Bai Qingyan... entrusts the Bai Mansion to Mr. Xiao!"
Xiao Rongyan nodded.
"Uncle Ping..." Bai Qingyan looked at Lu Ping.
Lu Ping immediately responded and stepped forward quickly. "Miss, your orders!"
"Today, everyone in the Bai Mansion listens to Mr. Xiao’s commands. His orders are my orders. Do not disobey!" Bai Qingyan said.
Lu Ping glanced at Xiao Rongyan in slight surprise. He didn’t expect Bai Qingyan would entrust the Bai Mansion’s safety to Xiao Rongyan. But Xiao Rongyan was an ally of the Bai Mansion. From Lu Ping’s observation, Xiao Rongyan did things with great order. Additionally, Xiao Rongyan had traveled through many countries and must have encountered many dangers. Being able to stand here safely now, he must have skills.
"Lu Ping accepts the order!" Lu Ping bowed to Xiao Rongyan. "Mr. Xiao, we entrust the Bai Mansion to you today."
Xiao Rongyan returned the bow.
Soon, someone reported that a general from Nandu was leading troops towards Zhen Kingdom’s mansion.
Today, the sky over Dadu City was gloomy, clouds rolling, making everything feel oppressive.
Bai Qingyan looked back at the ten Bai family’s guards holding torches, standing on the high steps. She clasped her hands. "Today, I trouble you all to face life and death with Bai Qingyan." freёwebnovel.com
"Follow Miss to the death!"
"Follow Miss to the death!"
Bai Qingyan nodded, gripping the sword at her waist, and calmly ordered, "Open the gate!"
