King Liang started to cry as he spoke, wiping his tears with his sleeve. "Father-in-law... I am so scared! Otherwise... let’s just forget it. Ruofu is carrying my child, and I don’t want the child to be without a father before being born! Father-in-law..."
King Xian gritted his teeth, suppressing the urge to shout at King Liang to stop crying. After thinking carefully about what King Liang said, he felt that King Liang had a point.
Although Bai Qingyan currently had no soldiers under her command, who knew if she would somehow bring in the twenty thousand soldiers from Anping Camp. This woman was skilled in military strategies and warfare, as cunning as Bai Weiting and Bai Qishan, and they could not afford to be careless.
To be safe... it’s better to keep the women of the Bai family in hand.
King Xian thought for a moment, then sent five hundred men to capture the women of the Bai family. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
When King Liang heard this, he lowered his eyes and retreated to a secluded corner, where no one could see him. His gaze was like... a venomous snake hissing in a dark, damp, and moldy cellar, never seeing the light of day.

The streets inside the eastern gate, the shop boards and eaves, were all covered with arrows. The ground was still stained with blood mixed with severed limbs, not yet fully cleaned, showing how fierce the recent battle was.
The general defending the eastern gate became vigilant upon seeing someone approaching. The archers aimed at Bai Qingyan.
Upon seeing Bai Qingyan riding a fast horse, the eastern gate general quickly ran down the city wall and bowed deeply. "This subordinate greets the Princess of Zhen!"
When the Crown Prince and Elder Fang arranged to silently kill King Xin’s men and control the eastern gate, they instructed that the gate must be controlled... no one was allowed in or out unless they saw the Princess of Zhen, showing the Crown Prince’s trust in her.
"Did you capture any survivors in the eastern gate battle just now?" Bai Qingyan’s cold and deep voice asked from her high horse.
"We captured twenty-six!" The defense general replied.
Bai Qingyan dismounted, threw her black-gold whip to the Bai family guard, and walked towards the city wall steps. "Have they been interrogated?"
"Not yet..." The general looked up at Bai Qingyan, then quickly followed. "Isn’t the Princess planning to leave the city immediately to bring in the twenty thousand soldiers from Anping Camp to rescue the Crown Prince?"
King Xian had not acted yet, so Bai Qingyan was not in a hurry.
"Bring the captives up. I have questions for them." Bai Qingyan glanced back at the general. "I am more concerned about the Crown Prince’s safety than you!"
The general dared not speak further and immediately ordered the captured twenty-six men to be brought up.
On the city wall, Bai Qingyan glanced towards Anping Camp and then heard the soldiers bringing up the captured soldiers from Nandu.
The Nandu soldiers, escorted to the city tower, saw Bai Qingyan, who had shot through their General Xiao Wang’s shoulder armor with one arrow earlier at the Bai Mansion gate. Remembering Bai Qingyan’s reputation as a God of Slaughter, they immediately felt their legs go weak.
Bai Qingyan looked at the kneeling Nandu soldiers. "Are you soldiers of Nandu?"
The general was surprised and looked at Bai Qingyan, but saw her face calm and cold. He gripped the sword at his waist tightly.
No one answered. Bai Qingyan looked at the Bai family guard who had come with her. The guard nodded, drew his sword, and beheaded a Nandu soldier with a swift stroke, blood spraying everywhere.
